That is a really cool head unit - when I need to upgrade mine (again...) that's what I'll go with! I use android auto on work vehicles and I just can't live without it now - feels so odd without it in my TJ (and my JL - but that's coming soon, haha!).

@@Garagecouple only thing that’s holding me back from getting it is that I’m not sure if it really has real Apple car play, over all it does seem like a less appealing radio to thieves witch is a good thing vs having a larger 7” doubled in display.

When I saw that the Kenwood head unit was hardwired I was thinking oh no! I can't believe the new one used the same molex plug from the Kenwood, I was surprised you didn't test it before reinstalling all the dash pieces (Greg lives life on the edge). As a safe keep I always electrical tape any plugs together like the GPS or hands free mic, btw how did the GPS work? Any interference being the antenna for the GPS was mounted under the dash? Great video and install!

The link in your description takes me to a different unit (all touch screen, no knobs and buttons) than the one you installed (physical knobs and buttons). How did you get the one with physical knobs? I’ve had the all touch one and didn’t like it off-road because it was a nightmare trying to land my finger exactly where I needed to on the screen while the Jeep was moving around from the uneven terrain. Physical knobs would’ve been much easier. I removed it and put a different unit in. If i could get the one you have, I would.

@Garagecouple Жыл бұрын

You're totally right! I think they haven't updated the image because the one we installed is the newer version. I ordered that exact link and this is the product I got. I agree. I love the physical buttons

At timestamp @15:55 is that using android auto? or was that on its own interface. Also how is the USB connection? Was it fast charging? did it even charge when you are connecting and using it at the same time. Some of these radios the charge rate is awful. If it was android auto can you show some more of that, like how it responds when you receive a text a message.
