I’ve got an Enki X from Razer and got it for a steal pre built when I bought it & always thought this chair is the bees 🐝 knees but then my neighbour said he got a new secret lab he needed to replace after having the older model of the Titan & got an Evo & asked me to sit in it I know which chair I wanna buy ASAP & want & it’s not another Razer.

Any resolution on the mic issue? Did you end up using the original mic, an external mic or the mic built into the unit and which one sounded the best?
@BenCad 4 күн бұрын
I find the built-in mic the best, but no i haven't resolved it. When im motivated i'll try connecting a good quality lavalier mic to see how that goes.

Any comments on the firmness? I have the 2024 Titan Evo XL and the seat is rock hard. 220lbs 6'
@BenCad 8 күн бұрын
its likely firmer than what you're used to, which they say is a feature. I don't mind it and find it comfortable, my 2020 Titan is approaching 5 years old now and still is going great, and the foam hasn't crushed into nothing like other chairs! I would argue its now 'softer' than a bunch of previous chairs, which would have minimal padding left! Theres a few other secretlab videos on these chairs on my channel i talk about the firmness more there too. Hope that helps your decision! Cheers

Will this unit hook up to subs and will it still perform good ? I just have an old school alpine right now with 12 in alpines but I’m definitely interested in this unit
@BenCad 9 күн бұрын
It should do, it comes with a wiring harness for wiring up with RCA's for wiring to an aftermarket amp, you can see the wires in the unboxing bit. Also the OEM factory sub does work as set up here. Hope that helps, you can always message them to ask before purchase just to be 110% sure!

No good, perhaps reset the audio Mixer to default settings? And try a few different audio sources to triple check. I also had a cable I missed when I first installed it that fell deep down into the back of the dash if you need to double check your wires. Your box should have a contact number to message iDoing if you need to ask them.

@Sessionsjc Ай бұрын
Thank you for the review. I've used exclusively cheap office/gaming chairs, but am looking for something more comfortable. My problem is every secret labs "1 year review" is they've all had some sort of warranty claim. I have a 3 year old office depot chair that isn't very comfortable, but is still in perfect working condition and completely silent. I hate the idea of paying 4 or 5 times as much to then have to deal with issues that cheaper chairs don't seem to have.
@BenCad Ай бұрын
Yeah I understand your view. I think when you move to this price point you might argue your expectations on quality increase and therefore can lead to raising issues you may have shrugged off with something cheaper. If you decide to make the jump you may notice a big overall step up in quality. For the Evo tho, the backrest issue at launch was addressed as a fault, so I think pretty much all early adopters had their backrests warrantied. All i can say if it helps is my 2020 is nearly 5 years old now. and this one is 3, and both are still going strong! Hope that helped! Cheers

There is a known limitation with fader/balance with HK systems at this stage it seems. It’s one I added more info about in this video description too. It doesn’t personally bother me as I don’t ever change those settings. If you haven’t, it’s worth contacting Idoing over it as hopefully they’ll resolve it.

Basically I am going to disconnect the rear speakers from the HK Amp. And run it directly to iDoing head units rear speaker channel. I already tested it and it works. I have to run wire neatly and what not. But it allows me to fade. Yes the rears won't be powered by the amp anymore. But they sound better than stock connected straight to the iDoing! I feel iDoing pulled a fast one on HK owners because this should be mentioned. Thanks for the awesome video. I used it as a guide to disassemble everything.

@@allenstevenson5986 Hey thats awesome, glad there is a workaround for those with motivation! Yeah my attempt was I mucked around with plugging the rear speakers in via the RCA cords from the iDoing HU and into the OEM loom. It didn;t change anything besides the volume form the speakers. So glad you've found a proper workaround, I guess the other 'fix' is to simply upgrade the whole sound system with proper amps etc. But I doubt many of us are doing that.

Ben, Great video, most of the others are the older version that has what looks like a single din radio attached. I have a 2019 STi, and just got the recall repair done for the parasitic battery drain issue, they removed the DCM and did a bypass box to resolve that, seems to have resolved it as I haven't had issues since. Not sure if you have the same issue with your car. Anyways, you mentioned that this unit is supposed to work off the factory microphone, did that actually pan out? My car has the Harman Kardon system too. I've never been very impressed, can you comment on the sound after having the unit installed for a while now and time to dial it in. Are there any other things that have changed or evolved since your install, may I suggest a follow up video. I'm also thinking of adding the front camera, thoughts?
@BenCad Ай бұрын
Hey mate, thanks! Nothing has really changed since the video really, I did add a few things I forgot in the video description. Overall still very happy with it, it’s the best bang for buck option I’d say. The microphone situation is the systems weak point though, they do provide a few options but regardless people say you’re hard to hear like you’re far away, which is ‘an Idoing thing’ it seems. When I’m motivated I’ll try swapping out the microphone for a good quality lavalier mic which I’ve recorded parts of this video with and see how that goes. I’d defs still recommend it for sure but there are spots for improvement. Cheers!

@zyawillis8040 Ай бұрын
@BenCad I managed to do it all in one night (last night when i made my initial comment), and I was so exhausted after, though. I have it somewhat un clipped at the top so I can easily pull it out. I have messaged idoing so I will wait for them. On the topic of the mic, they said you can retain factory mic, but you have to tap into a 5v source to power it. I'm still waiting on idoing to confirm how exactly. I ran the aftermarket mic from the head unit, and the person I tested said it's not the best, but they seem to be able to hear me. On another note, everything works well, and much like everyone else, it far exceeded my expectations, I do, however, hear a slight static from the car sound system (with Harmon kardon), sounds as if the gain is turned all the way up. Might play around with the audio settings.

@ScootsMcBoots Hey mate, yes, I did manage to resolve the issue. Thanks to Idoing's suggestions. When in "common" -> "steering wheel keys learn" -> "settings" you will see three settings you can change, "key tolerance" changed it to (50.0mv), "key detection time" set to (0ms) and "pull up resistor" set to Automatic detection. The latter two settings, I think, are default anyway. If this doesn't work, I will double-check when I am home. I do notice the stock reverse camera to be worse off as well on the new display, but keep in mind it is only 480p or something. I have the 2.5k screen, and it does look really good, although a bit grainy and seems to glitch in and out here and there. Don't mistake the glitching in and out to cause no viewibility, It's more artefact-y It does still work fine, though.

@EXROBOWIDOW Ай бұрын
I'll add my thanks to the long list of your happy viewers. Last Sunday, I bought a 2021 Forester, low miles, from a dealer and drove it home. Today (Friday) the car announced low battery in my access key fob (or whatever they call it). I was slightly panicked, wondering if the battery would last till I got home and grabbed the other fob. The car still has the manuals, so I quickly determined which battery type I'd need to buy. Yes, we have lots of that type. I got home, brought the manual inside, and began reading the instructions. It was not clear just how to pry the case apart, so I did an online search, and here you are! Thank you! It still was a bit of a struggle prying the case apart, and the circuit board came flying out, too. Also, the manual says to wrap the screwdriver with tape or a cloth, which made things a little more awkward. While inserting the new battery, I also hit the horn button-- newbie clumsiness, LOL. After the first fob, my big question was whether to do the second fob. Without a working battery tester, I decided better safe than sorry, and went after the second fob. It had a Toshiba battery in it, and had more dust or grime around the opening. So I tried guessing which fob was used as the primary fob, by the car's previous owner. Was it the dirty one, with possibly the original battery in it? Or was the battery dead, and the dealer replaced it before handing over the car to me? Or was the dirty one that way from sitting around gathering dust? It was harder to reassemble the little cap with the emergency key back into the case, probably because it was so dirty and tolerances were tight. And again, I hit the horn button accidentally. After both were reassembled, I decided the dirtier one was the primary fob; it seemed more "polished" and had scratches. So I'll continue using the other as my primary fob.
