@slingo Which unit and model is that? I have been running a double din Joying unit for a yr now.

What was today's Sling project-Mods , goodies.....?

Mine is in a slash guard so it won't get wet when i remember to close it. Lol I have thought about the 10" model but don't know if it will fit in the slash guard when the display is taken off.

Do you have any pics with screen removed? Does it remove easily? Can it tilt to almost straight up?

I looked into the Joying unit but didn't like that I could not adjust the screen. Unfortunately, The screen on this one does not come off so I am going to use it until it is stolen or I get caught in a rain storm. I need to be more careful with the days I drive it. It does tilt a good amount. I hope that will help with the sun glare but I need a sunny day to find out. So far, it has only been night driving and it looks wonderful.

Oh my goodness! LOL You guys gave my wife and I a good laugh. We keep out dogs chew toy in the glove box so when we take her to the park she can play fetch (Which she sucks at). This forum is awesome haha.

I was a mechanical operator for the Military. They told us to never touch any electrical work. The one time I did on my own......I fried the electrical system in my A4 trying to hook up a toggle switch. I suck at it

On trust me.....it took a lot of cursing to get this thing to work. The instruction manual was 6 pages. I have had Lego books with more detail than this thing. Luckily I work an on-call type of job and spent 3 days in my garage with my co-worker trying a million different configurations. I will say the Scosche wife harness made the backup camera hookup easy along with the head unit power supply. The rest was pretty much trial and error. I love the ability to use offline navigation and can have a front camera. Plus the wife can watch her shows on road trips. This will make the turbo purchase !after this month easier to explain!

Hey guys! I thought I should share another option for head units on our vehicles. I bought a double din 10.1 inch Android head unit to use in the car with my phone. It took some work to get everything to work but I can integrate the OEM backup camera into it with a front camera that can be turned on at anytime. It is essentially a tablet attached to a double din. I love it. Anyways, here are some photos for you guys. I thought it would be too big but I love it so far.

Well guys I think I misinterpreted what the Scosche harness does. I thought it supplied the speakers as well through its integraton but it is only to power the radio and connect the OEM camera. I called Scosche and they told me they only tested their harnesses out on non speaker cars. This confused me a little because it is made for OEM camera integration and if you have a camera, you have speakers. The gentleman was adamant that there were no speaker connection on it (Which makes sense). I ended up splicing into the 36 pin plug that goes to the control module for the radio. Everything works fine now but it was just a headache to go back and forth with it. Hopefully this helps the next guy.

hey guys! I bought an after market head unit with the Scosche wire harness and I am having a little problem. The head unit turns on, the back up camera works and everything seems fine except there is no sound from the speakers. I tried the radio, Android car play, and a USB stick and no sound at all. Am I missing something here? It seems the speakers get their connection from the radio module behind the GUI interface. (That giant 36 pin harness) i can plug the USB stick into glove box and get the speakers to work but nothing with the new head unit. Any ideas guys? Is there another harness I need? Any help is appreciated. Head unit is a 10.1 Android double din from Eincar.
