    Bit the bullet - so far so good. Just need more time to configure and work out wiring for additional bits (sub, rear entertainment). Just need a decent value SIM
    You tube and Alli express videos are not great nor VikNav where apparently the unit came from
    anyone done this and have additional tips - would be appreciated!

    Wow.

    I'm cautious about what tech I buy that has gps, microphones and internet access... but this looks pretty cool.

    Where are you up to? What's connected and works or doesn't?

    And why would you be concerned with that unless you discuss things in your car pertaining the state or industrial secrets. Maybe you have read my wifes book.

    nothing like a Tesla , what a con job .

    But yes I've put these in a few of my cars and 2 of my grandkids cars.

    For their first car they would not have any car that didnt have apple carplay and a screen that mirrored their phones, No other feature of the car mattered , so I saved their parents $5000 a pop so they could buy cheaper cars and I installed $350 head units. What is it with kids now , my first car was $300.

    Show off! My first car was $40, and I had to lay-by it.

    ‘Hi Disco4TT3,

    ‘’most connections done and working, looking for a decent data plan, tested 4G - works well. Looking for some info to connect Orem sub and also rear entertainment screens. Orem tv connection needs checking as it’s not working

    very happy with this upgrade and what I’ve been able to do with Chinese videos for connection installation

    Hi Gup,

    I'm looking at something similar and am interested in your thoughts.....

    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
