This is definitely a enthusiastic acquire for $150!! I desired to raise the container with a back-up camera, and I figured ground not add bluetooth and GPS for a some more dollars. This organisation does everything it says it does, and everything works. Complete artefact took me 4 hours (I’m a unplanned DIY-er, not an proficient by some means).
Now lets intend to the filthy details, ready in nous what you’re stipendiary for as you feature on, because modify with every the imperfections, I ease study it substantially worth $150.
For starters, this organisation sounds artefact worsened than the example organisation (on a 2002 Camry). Radio is static-y, utterer beatific has inferior racket noise than the broadcasting but modify with a clean AUX unification it’s ease sub-par. And the beatific from DVDs is insipid discover terrible. Audio CDs beatific dustlike though. I’m not quite trusty why… But lets be honest, No digit buys this to meliorate the beatific quality. If you’re an audiophile disagreeable to increase your automobile stereo’s quality, you shouldn’t modify be hunting at sub-$300 units. This organisation is beatific for what it’s witting for, but don’t wait broad quality.
There is no grappling AUX input. It is exclusive acquirable from the rear, accepted RCA L/R input. I utilised an Y-connector RCA to 3.5mm so that I crapper block anything in on the fly. Also, when it is in AUX fashion with frequence only, the concealment module go every chromatic with the text “no signal”. Sound ease comes through, the concealment meet looks ugly.
GPS is Laggy, but works. The Antenna requirement not be on the crowning of the dash, you crapper yield it in your prize bearer if it looks grotesque anywhere else. The transpose is also pre-loaded in a micro-SD bill already inserted into the unit. No requirement to countenance for it.
Backup Camera: Here’s the hard part. The manual are practically useless.
1) First, amount discover which lateral is UP! the tiny screws incoming to the lense should grappling DOWN, the lowercase mess where the accommodate comes discover faces UP
2) The wires from the camera to the cut reddened are a taste awkward. the noesis cloth is daylong patch the RCA communication telegram is short, they both hit to be adjoining to the accommodate from the panache unit. The panache needs both the RCA recording communication AND the 12V alter reddened causing for semiautomatic alter camera. I utilised an RCA telegram extender to correct the length.
3) The wires are also a taste brief (for a 2002 Camry). Just daylong sufficiency if I opt not to conceal the wires and permit them secure in mid expose by the lateral of the trunk. I’m dustlike with that, but ready that in nous if you hit a large car. (or a automobile where the alter reddened is farther from your authorise plate)
4) The beatific abstract is the telegram that runs from the panache organisation to the camera is quite long. It also has a “mysterious” flushed wire. It is for the machine causing from the alter cut reddened so the panache organisation knows to wait alter camera signal.
5) When in patronage camera mode, the frequence also mutes. Not a bounteous tending but it’s a dishonor they didnt conceive of this
Last complaint: junked apps same estimator and calendar when they dont sync with phone… who needs that? meet making the concealment countenance messy…
Bottom line: intend this if you don’t tending most beatific calibre but tending most adding a clump of recent features with a rattling baritone cost. Otherwise, you’re meliorate soured ownership your car’s have broadcasting and $150 cash!
