    I got an Android Screen Car Navigation Head unit from China...

    Here's a link to a zip file. Included is the video instructions, the app and a few boot screens. Obviously you can make your own as well. Use at your own risk, I had no problems though. https://www.sendspace.com/file/y16nvr

    I got an Android Screen Car Navigation Head unit from China...

    Up under the drivers side dash on LHD cars. I believe the original was a green relay. There might be a thread on here with pics somewhere. I'll try and round up the files they gave me, the app wasn't on the google play store. You'll need to load it on a usb thumb drive.

    I got an Android Screen Car Navigation Head unit from China...

    I don't think it was the connector's as it started acting up after I shot that video. I turned out to be the turn signal/hazard relay under the dash. I replaced it with the bmw one suggested elsewhere. I do still have an issue were the right turn signal blinks the hazzard button but at least...

    I got an Android Screen Car Navigation Head unit from China...

    Those are the two issues I still have. I'm planning on using a buck converter as someone mentioned in another post for the console lights. Right now mine is all apart as I'm slowly putting the interior back together after changing the heater core.

    For me, it was the flasher under the dash. Do you know for sure it was working before you installed? I would also double check the connections.

    Todd's 2003 Spyder GT (re)build thread

    I definitely need to pick up some offset screwdrivers, would have come in handy when I changed the instrument cluster bulbs. I'm thinking about using sandwich bags for the bolts and labeling them with a marker.

    I'm getting close to tearing mine down as well. I ordered the alfa part, just waiting for it to come in.

    I got an Android Screen Car Navigation Head unit from China...

    Sound quality seems ok to me, but my car has aftermarket speakers so YMMV on that one. Wired carplay works through the zlink app. I think this is the way most android units work. It's a little slower to react to changes this way but it works for me. For me the lower dash lights don't light up so...

    4200 front wishbone bush removal.

    If you think this part is bad wait until you try and get the flanbloc's out. I had one bad front upper bushing, I decided to change all front upper bushings. It's a pain to put it lightly. My car has almost 100K miles but the rust on my line wasn't that bad, I'd also recommend changes the lines...

    Cold boot + working hazards, I think one of the pins in the harness was not touching. Only thing not working now is the lower dash lights.

    I got an Android Screen Car Navigation Head unit from China...

    I went to run the cable down and the hvac plastics crumbled so I had to put that mess back together. They do have a plug that goes where the powered lights are but it doesn't seem to work. That harness seems to also split off for the hazard switch. All the hazard switch does is light up and...

    4200 Radio & Satnav upgrade

    I just did this the other day, remove upper rear seat and side panel. Pop the lower seat up to run the wire under the seat and carpet. there's a coupe rubber grommets that wires go through you can use. I taped the wires to a piece of brake line to poke them through.

    Hmm the lower dash lights aren't working, does anyone else that has the acar have that problem? I know it's common with replacing with aftermarket. This thing is a wiring rats nest lol Took me a while to get canbus working.

    I was looking at pics last night and wondered if that separated, thanks for the reply.

    I broke down and ordered one of these yesterday. One thing I'm curious about is what others do with the nit plastic cover which attaches to the nit.

    European Travel

    Just happened to see this post and I will say be careful paying for tolls with a card in italy. When traveling we came across a toll where the applepay, nfc wouldn't work and I had to use card. It was the only time I didn't use the tap to pay and while I was there started getting random purchase...

    4200 SS Wheel bolts

    That was part of the motivation for sure, that being said I think i kinda prefer them. I will probably paint the originals and hang onto them just in case.
