How do you link a microphone to the unit im currently looking for possible options for my girlfriends 2013 polo and yours is the same setup

@RCS_716 5 күн бұрын

The headunit came with a mic and it just plugs into the back of it

my question is what about the car setting you usually access from the radio. like tyre pressure reset etc, are they still available?

@RCS_716 3 ай бұрын

My car never had Features like that so I can't access things like that on the new headunit

Will the instrument panel still work after installing a different radio?

Yes

Anyone had any trouble with it draining the car battery? Also can you get the radio to work on it?

@RCS_716 3 ай бұрын

You'll only have battery problems if you have the fast boot option enabled because that never fully turns it off, it just puts it in a sleep mode. So if you don't drive your car regularly then the battery will die eventually. Yes you can listen to the radio on it, I don't listen to the radio so I haven't messed with it that much but when I've clicked on the radio channels it plays that channel so I'll deem that as working.

Where did you put your antena GPS?

@RCS_716 7 ай бұрын

It's behind the headunit, I would put it near the windscreen but I always connect my phone to the headunit so I never have a need for the antenna

How long does it take to turn on when the car turns on ?

@RCS_716 7 ай бұрын

It takes around 30secs to fully turn on. You can set it on sleep mode so everytime you turn the car off it just goes to sleep that way when you turn the car back on it starts up instantly. ( if you don't drive your car often this will run your battery down )

Do the parking sensors work on this even if u don’t buy the camera?

@RCS_716 2 ай бұрын

My car doesn't have parking sensors so I can't say foe certain but I believe the sensors will still make a noise and the bars will probably show you how close you are to something but you just won't see what your close to 🤣

I bought my polo with a different radio in it it had a metal bracket holding it in place . does this one still need the head unit bracket or will it just fit in normally , hope that makes sense not sure how to word it

This one will fit in normally, this doesn't need a metal bracket

@@RCS_716 thanks for the reply , what did you do with the USB ports that come with it? did you just tuck them behind ?

@RCS_716 Ай бұрын

I didn't plug them in because I already had a usb port I put in myself but since then I've connect the usb that came with the headunit so I can use wired carplay and android auto aswell as the wireless. I made a video of me doing it but I never finished it, I'll see if I can find the footage and finish of that video and I'll upload it

@@RCS_716 thanks mate , and just to double check , this is a wireless apple car play isn't it ? i.e I don't need to connect my phone to a usb to allow car play to work?

@RCS_716 Ай бұрын

Yes it's wireless. You do not need to connect any cable to your phone to use the carplay or android auto. But you can use a cable if you want to ( but I don't see why you would since using the wireless is so much more convenient lol )

@RCS_716 26 күн бұрын

You just need to turn off the fast boot option on the headunit, with fast boot enabled it puts it in a sleep like state so it's never truly off so when you start the car it boots up instantly ( but that will drain your battery over time especially if you don't drive your car regularly ) but if you turn that option off then it will turn off the headunit properly and it won't drain the battery but it does take longer to boot up.
