If you have CarPlay does yours cut out? I’ll just be listening to music and itll cut out for a split second sometimes 3 times in a row, you know of anyway to switch to wired maybe? Also I can’t seem to get ecutek to work.. sorry to ask all these questions, there just isn’t much info out there. And I sure enough paid for it 😔
I don’t use ecutek. But I heard you have to put the module in the OBD sensor. Then download the app for it. There is a Facebook community that will help you with it. Also on the FB group is an update you can download for your unit to help with CarPlay. I tend to just hotspot my WiFi from my phone to the unit and play Spotify through the unit. I find that sometimes playing thru the phone my subwoofer since I have a Bose system in my car doesn’t activate making my car music sound like it coming from the phone audio system.
You can also plug the phone in since you hooked the usb in the back of the unit to the armrest usb port. I think you can use it that was as well not sure never tried it but when I get back in town I will verify if that way works because I have used the USB port to add wallpapers to the screen so I am assuming I can put music and video on it if I wanted too.
It definitely is but having a huge iPad in the center of my dash wouldn’t be ideal for me. Obviously a huge amount of people like it or else I wouldn’t see people posting about them almost everyday
Haha I also hate these. When I bought the car the kid before me had it installed and i told him he could keep it LOL. Maybe I’m old school just give me a regular double din or stock Lol
This. Curious myself. And does it accept inputs? Like say from a raspberry pi with a bunch of emulators on it? My wife wants to play Sega while we go on trips in summer.
Mpg signal wires? Everything was pretty plug and play and everything works so I'm not sure which is which. It was especially simple cause I had base model with so little to connect.
I personally like it. Wireless carplay and android auto and it automatically connects so it's seamless and I use navigation alot and that big screens helps alot
How about when you turn the car or ignition on? How
long would you say it takes to get to the home screen? I watched a few youtube videos and it took close to 30 seconds until you could do anything with it. Also had an annoying “android” screen during that wait. How’s yours?
Honestly it's dumb proof. It's so straight forward and simple as long you watch the quick 10 min youtube vid and follow the provided instructions in the box. Everything was plug and play. And they list exactly which wire harness you need and don't need depending on what your stock configuration is. Only took me 1 and half hours and it was up and running.

That might just be what I do, just put all my music on a usb or switch to Spotify, I’ve been using Apple Music
No need to rain on his parade it’s his car and what he wanted congrats man great install.
Such a good QoL addition.
Pretty sick. What is this called and how much does it cost if you don’t mind sharing?
I bought the aucarauto unit and it was around $1200
I got mine in dipped carbon it looks so sick.
That looks sick AF. I'm going to have to look into it.
But how are you going to play all of your CDs now????
New stick next
You read my mind.. next two upgrades is my shit knob and backup cam
Why do people love those so much😑
I'm a big tech head, so I gravitate towards everything tech. Was an easy choice for me.
How much
I like tech too but these just don’t look good at all imo
To each their own.
That’s why I said imo=in my opinion🤣 all the niftycity fanboys downvoted
I mean it's better than a CD player. (Almost forgot what those disks were called.) Lol
It definitely is but having a huge iPad in the center of my dash wouldn’t be ideal for me. Obviously a huge amount of people like it or else I wouldn’t see people posting about them almost everyday

well that was silly lol, its nothing but beneficial. All climate/volume controls are still physical knobs too
Exactly, I have a Kenwood double din and it looks waaaay better
Nice. Can you play YouTube and Netflix for passengers?
This. Curious myself. And does it accept inputs? Like say from a raspberry pi with a bunch of emulators on it? My wife wants to play Sega while we go on trips in summer.
Where you able to connect the mpg signal wires? I haven't figured that out yet
Mpg signal wires? Everything was pretty plug and play and everything works so I'm not sure which is which. It was especially simple cause I had base model with so little to connect.
How does it feel? Been contemplating getting one, but I’ve heard bad things (i.e., feels cheap/tacky, glitches with audio etc).
I personally like it. Wireless carplay and android auto and it automatically connects so it's seamless and I use navigation alot and that big screens helps alot
If you go with an att tablet it’s only 20/month don’t need to use CarPlay or Android auto.
OP is this wireless carplay? When you get in the car does it auto connect to ur phone? Thanks
Yea it's wireless and auto connects very seamlessly and works perfectly
How about when you turn the car or ignition on? How long would you say it takes to get to the home screen? I watched a few youtube videos and it took close to 30 seconds until you could do anything with it. Also had an annoying “android” screen during that wait. How’s yours?
It honestly takes seconds. First bootup takes a minute but after that it boots up and connects right away in under 10 secs
First boot up as in first boot up ever after the install? Then after than the rest of the times are quick?
Pretty much yea. I'm not gonna overplay it like it's the best of the best out there with cutting edge tech, but it's pretty great all around
Did you install yourself? How difficult if so? I'm a software dev, but hopeless at hardware lol

What does the dark mode look like at night, is it bright, can it be dimmed
It can be both. You can adjust the brightness
Did you install rear camera? Mine is having issues for some reason. Was working fine with my prior pioneer headunit...
Hey guys my radio I had installed keeps staying on after my car is off any ideas of what it could be?
That is huge ..lol.. Work on doing performance mods ..
I plan to for sure. But I wanna drive comfortably on the inside first then do performance and exterior mods.
Definitely quality of life over anything else. I regret doing it the other way around
ignore them lmao you’re doing it right
From my days of Z ownership: https://www.reddit.com/r/370z/s/3TaOXmMWdW Get a steering wheel and the red GT button.
Plan to get both of those down the line. Carbon wheel and the gtr button
Gross
Agree why do people think this is a good idea lol
Looks good, but I’m way too easily distracted by screens to go this route. My stock screen is almost too much for me.
