Yes, the Dodge grand Caravan already comes with a mic for the phone calls, but I have not been able to figure out how to connect it to the aftermarket radio. It uses a different kind of plug.

Thanks for the video! I have put your same system, for the camera I believe it is a problem with the original camera….very bad quality. My biggest problem is the fact that the android radio doesn’t turn off when I turn off the car. Turning it off with the button on the screen it only turn off the screen not the radio. They told me to connect ACC cable, but the original radio is controlled by CANBUS and there is not ACC cable! Did you do any hack? Does your system turn off when you turn off the car automatically?

@RonDIYMods 11 ай бұрын

Hello. Yes when I had this radio it did turn off and on with ignition. It never stayed on. It might be a wiring issue not canbus. I would recommend checking the power wire maybe it’s not connected or wired up properly. Theirs two main power cables one that goes to constant power, and the other one to accessory power. Check those cables maybe you might need to switch them around.

From Five Star Car Stereo's video "How to retain your Cars factory backup camera Installer Diaries 253", kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbKmmaiDkrycZGg.html, I hear the factory camera uses 6v and might need a 12v to 6v stepdown converter for stock rearview camera retention. I'll have to check with a multimeter if the camera wire is putting out 6v, when I have a time to troubleshoot further.

So far I’ve been able to retain all my vans safety features… backup camera, blind spot monitoring , parking assist and factory warning chimes. Only feature I’m missing is my rearview mirror power and my rearview mics … I did a wire run to the small connector from the mics but have not been able to get them to give me sound.

Hello! So if anyone is interested in buying this head unit (there are many different screen sizes and different housing but look at the back of it and usually they all look the same and have the same internals.) I have found that it is great for cheap. Still, there is 1 big downside that no one seemed to talk about through many KZfaq videos, the audio quality (surround sound, and audio chips that are built in with the uConnect 430 series) are lacking in the aftermarket unit. Yes, that is to be expected but what I found is if you turned the volume up to any higher levels (to hear it if the windows are down or whatever) it will start to distort the audio usually I found the front tweeters start to pop really really loudly and the other side of volume if at 1% volume, it still was pretty audible. The equalizer is kinda a mess to get it perfectly aligned. So I did a decision I should of not have done (I did return everything after all of this keep in mind) I got a Kicker amp that had fancy stuff built in to make it sound good yet still after all of that it just did not sound as good as the factory sound system, Yes the factory sound system is not the best in the market but this just made it worse so I got it uninstalled and returned it. This is due cause the uConnect system already had Dolby Atmos built-in and other technology to enhance it and professionals already tuned it (THAT WAS ACCORDING TO THE AUDIO TECH THAT INSTALLED THE AMP.) Hopefully, this is helpful for anyone who was concerned about that. -side note all my 6 speakers were upgraded to the stock Infinity speakers (the previous ones were damaged and found Infinity ones cheap at the junkyard) -the issue with the head unit is that the audio was worse than the factory head unit, and it got very hot if you had a high volume for a while. Otherwise, if you want Carplay/Android auto for cheap it's an okay alternative. I have no idea how it sounds if you already have the 10-speaker amplified audio system so if you have this didn't really help, sorry! yes, I have reposted this comment from a similar video to this, I just want to help yall before you guys buy this! Again I am not saying this is a bad head unit, its just you get what you pay for saying.
