This 10.4 inch unit

I'm wondering if the unit you have installed has a dual screen function that allows the OEM screen to be visible....? ie so you can use the OEM reverse camera options (tow hitch look down etc)

Did you also get the Climate Control unit from the same mob? how do you like it?

Thanks in advance

Hi Burgo,

There are a few different units but I think they all set up the same - just a matter of adjusting the settings. I got mine from Alliexpress, but the mob you have linked also does the retro look with the knobs like mine (I did look at them also and maybe their instructions/help will be better).

Mine came with the cables to connect the OEM rear camera which works great with the image (parking lines can be turned on or off), and even an image of the front and rear sensors that light up. The unit comes with an additional camera which I didn't install.

I added the climate control as a package - and that is a true plug and play and has the HVAC, seats, 4x4 terrain settings as well as the hazards and traction control as buttons. It works very well and I do like the "modern" visual look

NICE! Thanks Gup......yeah, I like the look of them too!

So, are you saying that when you select "Trailer" on the reverse camera screen the single line of the tow ball still shows up and also changes to the "Top Down" angle when you get close to the trailer itself..... all that still works no probs? Was that a feature in your 2010 SDV6?

I don't have the heated seats, but I was really hoping the climate control pack might provide the rear of dash equipment to enable me to retrofit something there.......otherwise it's sheepskin covers on and off each season, which works well enough I suppose.

Anyway, thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.

Kind regards

Hi Burgo,

Sorry - misunderstood - I only had the reversing camera - but again there are options in the settings menu specific to the options so the tow ball view maybe there to activate this. I will have a look at the settings and get back to you.

Unfortunately can't help with your outstanding jobs Gup. But sounds like you're well on your way and glad to hear you're happy with it!
