Thread: D4 base spec aftermarket headunit upgrade by Driven Sound Vision Technology

Any progress or news surrounding this for the 2010-2011 problem child ?

Either the Tesla style screens or the Old Jag option.

This is a australian importer/reseller, so at least you can return and call him up to ask questions before and after. apparently works with steering wheel buttons, im considering it

It’s 2010-2011 that are the problem children.

Not the simply flash upgraded 3.0

Good News ! I just worked how to easily connect a 2010 low/mid line D4 with the High Line wiring looms that come with most android head units. They include a can bus decoder that works both ways, and it works so well, parking sensors, steering wheel controls, set car date/time, gps, 4g, car play android, reversing camera, install any app from play store (eg topo maps) auto even the LR 4x4 screen, im very impressed !

I used the one sourced domestically from incartech so i even went to his shop and spoke to him, and have contacted him for phone support, had to bend his arm to sell it to me as not plug and play, but ive worked it all out by referencing the factory wiring diagrams.

Install guide & video coming soon.

Well done!

So as it always happens, you dont know what you dont know, and sometimes you just need the right keyword.

After doing the deep dive into low/mid/high line stereo options and learning what i had , i was actually able to find a aliexpress seller who is claiming to sell low/mid line looms, and from the photos, the plugs do look better, though hard to tell if it would work. The incartech guy here said he didnt think it would work when i showed it to him, indicating hed looked into it, but id be still inclined to try one being under $100, and even if its wired up wrong, it could likely be easily corrected like i did, or the pre wired plugs would be useful to adapt a high line loom to be plug and play. The decoder is same.

Anyway, here are some more photos from this morning, when I installed Austraian Topo Maps and GAP IID Tool , the later id never used on a tablet sized screen, so found out it adapts quite well

Im not sure I want to actually log my personal google account into this device for various reasons, so you could create a separate account, or what i did here for now, is just install the apkpure app (from apkpure) that is then installed in android without play store, and then it can install any free playstore app without play logged in.

Being able to run the GAP on the screen is awesome!
