Installed my screen a couple days ago. The only thing that wasn't plug and play was the backup camera, but it was simple to rewire and now that works as well. There's a few minor bugs in the programing, but nothing big. Still learning everything about it, but it has a ton of features and it's awesome that you can download just about anything from the google play store onto it.

That looks amazing.

I'm thinking a wrap around it to match the silver trim would look nice..maybe..

Any idea if you can upload any photo for the background image?

Yeah, you can put anything you want for the startup screen or home image (MNNI is the logo to the car club I’m in).

thanks for all the information thus far.
theres really only one thing im not understanding. Does this take over hvac and make it so its all controlled by the infotainment system and thus rendering your physical oem controls useless and they just sit there useless. Or can you still use oem physical hvac controls, and or a combination of both physical and dogital controls.Thanks

i'm pretty sure the OEM controls are removed when adding the Tesla-style screen. the new controls are at the bottom in the right-side pic ...

I'll let someone who has it installed verify, but my understanding was that you would use the screen for the climate control but also still able to use the physical buttons below the screen.

When I contacted their support they told me the climate controls become touch (they didn't mention the physical buttons though).

MNfiniti and F13SC - What size RAM/ROM and Android version did you buy? It appears they have added another option I don't recall seeing. Options are now:
-1GB RAM, 32GB ROM, Android 4.4
-2GB RAM, 32GB ROM, Android 7.1
-2GB RAM, 64GB ROM, Android 4.4

I wonder if other options are available that aren't listed.... And can 4.4 simply not be upgraded to 7.1 (asking their support now)?

EDIT: TazRider - You and I are thinking alike lol.

Ordered mine two days ago. Will do a complete install w/photos when it comes in. Mine was the 7.1 version. Also ordered the separate Apple Car Play unit as well.

It's great a company finally came out with a replacement headunit and to top it off multiple ppl have purchased n reviewed the product for the most part which ofcourse helps others make a decision, im definitely looking into upgrading mine now. What year is the car?
