Awesome video! I used your Amazon links for everything, but the mids come up unavailable. Can you send another link pointing where to buy? Also, I'm new to electrical. I have an '03 with the Pioneer amp, non-nav. Which speakers require which resistors, does each need its own resistor, and are you decreasing or increasing impedance? Last, is there any adapter needed for the speakers, like Metra 72-8104 Speaker Connector on Amazon. Thanks!

So this only works when the rig has the basic radio and the ac/etc control are below?
@theoutdoorgearhead9 ай бұрын
Correct, this is only possible with a non-nav variant or a full retrofit to make it non-nav. For nav variants, I’ve heard of the Tesla screen solution but haven’t used it obviously.

Thanks for the video. How does the unit behave at night? does the screen dim adequately when the lights are turned on? Is it distracting with excessive brightness at all?
@theoutdoorgearhead5 ай бұрын
Sure thing and it works great! Yes, it dims when the auto headlights turn on as any other head unit does. Not distracting at all and has adjustable brightness if needed.

When you installed your backup camera, do you remember how you connected it to the headunit? I tried installing a stock joying reverse camera and it would not work for some unknown reason. So I’m curious how you got yours to work. Thanks! 3:51

I checked the link you provided from the description and it was a different setup than the joying reverse camera. Do you remember how you connected to the power? Was it via the purple cord on the backside of the headunit, or did you splice it to something else?

Did you have a problem with the screws lining up? Just installed mine in the GX and everything seemed ok except the screws didn’t line up. I put it all back together without the 4 mounting screws into the metal, but feel like I need to go back and drill holes so it’s actually secure. I guess the plastic is just holding it right now..
@theoutdoorgearhead Жыл бұрын
I think I had some aftermarket screws from another Headunit that I was able to use for mine. I helped a friend with his install though recently and that was the case for us and since we didn’t have any of those screws we just have the plastic holding it in and seems to be fine. Seems to be ok either way.

@@theoutdoorgearhead I found one that has a similar sized screen that also includes the HVAC controls below it with physical volume knob. Also comes with an dash cam and 360* cameras. 8GB/256GB model with the 2000x1200 screen and extras runs $490.97 from TIEYEZ Global Store. I think it should work with the Nav units for people that want a physical volume knob and dont want to spend the extra on non-nav conversions.

How quickly does it boot up when you start your GX? Also, how has it been in cold/hot weather?
@theoutdoorgearhead Жыл бұрын
Pretty quick, maybe a second or 2 to pair/load CarPlay and sometimes it’s instant. Occasionally I’ll have to close the projection/CarPlay on the android side and reopen if it gets stuck and/or restart my iPhone (infrequent). Also randomly, I get a little screen tearing/pixelation once in a blue moon which could be related to weather but haven’t had it happen enough to correlate with the weather. I may reach out to the manufacturer and ask about that one (not sure if it’s hardware or software related). All that said, I’d say 95% of the time, turn on the GX and CarPlay loads right up, no issues. Hope that helps.

I’ve had mine for about a year and love it. What mic do you recommend as a replacement for the one that came with it? Also, I have the mark levinson system in mine. Just replaced some of the doors and the sub in the back. How did you tune yours? Using the tuning app that came with the unit, I can’t seem to isolate the sub from the doors and end up having to much bass going to the doors when I want it just going to the sub in the back. Any advice?
@theoutdoorgearhead Жыл бұрын
Nice! Game changer, right? I believe this is like the mic I put in mine: amzn.to/3piCN1D I believe when I first tuned in in the android software, there was a setting for the subwoofer specifically where I was able to adjust up or down. If I recall, it’s either in the EQ settings or in the menu where you can fade/balance. Hope that helps!
