Yes you’re right, this style connector is a fast way to make sure everything works and they’re reliable if you use the right size and check ensure the wires are twisted ahead of time. For a more permanent solution a butt conductor is a good one!

UPDATE: The radio already cut out. That didn't last long. I'll have a followup video posted once I figure out what went wrong. I can connect to bluetooth to the unit, but the unit's screen will not turn on and I can no longer get any sound from my speakers... To be continued

lol

You think it might be a connection problem with the twist caps 😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve done installations since the 80s never saw such craziness and I’ve seen a lot you go buddy

People always ask me about that... I couldn’t tell ya, it just happens!

Now that’s something I didn’t know about the harness! Thanks for that info. I haven’t updated the firmware on mine either, but I believe it won’t mirror an iPhone screen which is what I have. If you update it let us know how it goes!

It was a faulty unit that I had the seller replace

@@CashedOutCars super. How long ago was that - still working? One question about the bluetooth: are you using Android or Apple, and how is the microphone quality - any complaints from people on the other end? Thanks

A little over a year ago at this point, no problems yet! Apple, I don’t use the mic a ton so I can’t give you a great answer on that. The Bluetooth works well

Yeah after dealing with this unit a bit longer I’m not too impressed with it

that means that, when you wired it up, you connected what should have been a constant 12v supply to your ignition power, meaning it only has power when your key in on. change that and it'll fix the problem. I just got it installed in my truck and had the same problem.

I had trouble with that from an iPhone, it may be easier from an android

To check and make sure its not the head unit connect the red wire (ACC) to the yellow wires(12v) which will give the radio constant power, it should switch on once you plug the harness up to the car. If it powers on disconnect and check the car harness where the red wire connects.

This may sound like a silly suggestion, but make sure the volume is up on your phone and that it’s properly paired to your radio. I’d also try playing audio from another app and seeing if anything comes through. Since sound is coming through your car it sounds like the radio is wired correctly. Good luck!

@@CashedOutCars So turns out I had to unplug one of the wire harness I plugged and everything worked. Now my problems are these: 1) when I connect spotify to my google maps and I click the little spotify option I keep seeing "cannot connect to spotify" or when I play spotify and then open up maps the music stops. 2) I cannot seem to pair my android auto APK to my phone android auto, I'm wondering if it's an issue with the software version. 3) When I play music on my phone through bluetooth and put it to max volume it still doesn't play anything.

Probably Linux

It didn’t.. I’ll have a full review on this radio on the channel soon, I wouldn’t really recommend it

I have same mirror can't seem to figure out how to connect use video

Yeah prices fluctuate a bit, still not a bad deal for what you get, assuming you get a good one!

It'll depend on the seller but generally if you buy from a US seller it's pretty quick

Through an SD card yes

Hahahah that cracked me up

Don’t spoil it for the audience ;)

🤦🏼‍♂️ @@CashedOutCars If you're still posting videos on here, do you still waste a bizarre amount of time on cutting open packaging, showing us the cardboard box, and other inane activity?

Where you getting it from its still 20
