Installed the wireless android auto / carplay module. Got it for $325 shipped/import fees. Everything works. Keeps stock mic and rear camera view. Also has a popup for AC controls while in android auto and works with day/night mode based on car headlights.

Installing was sure challenging at points, theres not much room behind the nav unit so i tucked the module behind the screen, it sits flush there between the plastick bracket. Lost a few screws from the nav unit, had to find fitting new ones and blew the light/illumi fuse (was too lazy to disconnect battery) so had to get to the ipdm fuse box which is a pita if you ask me.

Anyways, it works great, am happy with the result.

 

That is awesome, are you able to switch to the factory display?

Do you have a link for this product?

 

Yeah you can go back with the press of a button on steering wheel or the center console. You can also choose to have radio on or whatever else audio and just the screen for aa/cp.

I bought it from https://www.carnavigationbox.com/ talked to a guy called Cosmo Xiong. They are based in Hong Kong but the item got here in 3 days through FedEx.

 

That is great, I like that unit a lot. Thank you for sharing this!

I was going to do the android auto unit that has a large top display but I would of lost the factory screen functionality which you use to set settings in the car etc.

 

Yeah i looked at those too but wanted to keep as much stock as possible and this gives me option to do whatever. Plus i really wanted to keep stock mic and rear camera view which most of those systems eliminate.

 

This is the one I was going to try, but did not.

 

That's pretty cool, as you use it more let us know how it does.

 

I've been debating between those two currently.

I like the one you installed since its switchable with the OE system, in case I want to install Motivate's GTR gauge system.

 

I would get the one that uses the OEM display area, while the screen is smaller, you can go back to the factory menu, whereas the one I had, you can't do that.

 

It must be pretty old. It came on my car when I bought it and the previous owner got it used off of another car.
I plan on replacing the rubber hangers and will polish the exhaust back up to its former glory when it's warm out again.
Does anyone know where I can get the hangers for less than $50 a piece? lol

 

I can laser engrave those for you. Are they aluminum? I can deep engrave or just laser mark them.
Here is a

 

@Josh South I’m intrigued, although I couldn’t get the video to work (never had IG). And the blank center caps are plastic (likely ABS), so I don’t believe engraving would work?

 

It has been a LOOOONG time since I have posted here. But worked on the car this weekend.....

Years ago I had this idea for OEM looking DRLs, but that were much more affordable. I purchased all the connectors, wire, and LEDs for the project, but it all sat... for years. I had to take the bumper off this weekend to do some other things so I decided to finally do the DRLs. Did some research to refresh my memory and to my surprise I saw a youtube video and a thread here where they did my EXACT idea. Even down the LEDs I had purchased. Wanting to be a little unique, I came up with this. OEM-ish, but different. And with flare.

 

Washed mine and drove it today. TIL it is hard to heel-and-toe with a travel mug in your lap.

 

I've replaced the rubber on the hood/bumper. It was really old. Now its new and seals properly again.
