    SM Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    would this be replacing the entire android box or just the USB carplay dongle? I had to open mine up this fall as the tape that was holding the touchscreen had failed and the screen shifted downward. While i was in there, i used a usb extension to reroute the UBS dongle directly behind my...

    Mine is still working great and that includes being in 90- 100° weather this summer parked outside intermittently

    SM Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    Just thought of a simple way to add a modicum of future proofing. Since the Naviplus unit has 2 USB jacks, run a USB extension cable from the second jack to the glove box or wherever else you would like it. If there is some additional USB functionality in the future or a better carplay/android...

    Correct, i plan on eventually buying one of the wireless dongles to replace the wired dongle that comes with the group buy kit

    SM Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    Something i will likely do in the next year and it looks like a few are starting to finally pop out in the last 2 months is get a wireless carplay dongle. I've seen them on ebay etc for around $80 USD and would negate the need to have any wired connections to the phone (at least if using the...

    SM Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    White screen is new to me. Of important note which I forgot to say in my earlier post, when in the configuration menu and selecting the appropriate video card, the instructions say to use KD 900_WVGA. That one was very glitchy for me and would work fine one minute and be broke in the next. I...

    SM Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    Mine would freak out horribly when the video was not calibrated correctly in the x/y axis and had similar quirkiness. Even with no input detected/video weirdness, if you went to the jumper board and started going through the menu, it would pop up perfectly so i knew the connection was in-tact...

    it does. You simply replace the cable that was from the head unit to the screen with a new one from the screen to the android box and the other new cable from the box to the headunit

    If you look just below the speedometer, you can see where I tucked my microphone in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Here is a picture of the unused parts for my install. The video cable on top is the one that came stock with the car. It is not needed as you utilize the new video cable to plug into the screen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SM Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    I found an easy peasy way to run the camera wire without removing the backseat. I ran the cable just underneath the carpet/trim along the driver side door and rear seat. I was able to sneak the cable up behind the edge of the seat and once up top I remove the head rest. Looking behind the area...

    SM Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    oh, one other hiccup. As you will need to have the battery connected/keys on to open the glove box after each close, as well as put the car in gear to free up space to maneuver the console WATCH OUT. as the boxes are grounded together but not to a common ground (to prevent ground loop hum i...

    Thanks, a few minutes after posting that i figured it out. Got it all installed/running except running the camera/drilling the trunk: Advice for the QP Hardly any trim removal needed: remove the cup holder area as documented (4 bolts) Block the wheels and put the shift into manual mode (as far...

    Almost have it all sorted and should have quite a few tips/pics for diyers on the QP. One question though. I’ve got android up and running well but when I try to switch to CarPlay (I’m an apple guy) I get the message “the box version does not match” Any suggestions Sent from my iPhone using...

    SM Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    I just realized that switch only uses two wires. I think I’m going to splice into it and run a longer cable all the way to my glove box with the auxiliary audio input. That way I can plug-in a pigtail there if I ever need access I’ve been taking lots of pictures of the process so hopefully i can...

    That’s what I figured, the one hesitation I have had is that it would not allow the programming switch to be easily accessed in the future. What type of stuff is it used for after the install is finished? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SM Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

    Next question re newer QP install. Got the touch screen installed, ran the mic, starting to sort out the rest: there does not appear to be space enough behind the glove box for either module. Any other recs for placement short of in the glove box? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
