Do you have any suggestions to replace the above factory Unit. The Heater controls are in the head unit and controlled by the touch screen ( i know its dumb) also I cant seem to find a unit to do this except for the 12 inch tesla screens and I dont like them but will buy ne if I have to.
thanks
yeah having AC in the touch screen is so annoying, my car has that too. but of course the audio gets physical dials and buttons on the dashboard AND steering wheel
Have you looked into the iDataLink Maestro?

hi!
I'm letting a cartuner build a 1-iso-drawer where I'll attach the original samsung car holder. attached are some drafts
the slot is 2 units height, so I'm planning to put a bluetooth capable cd-radio into the top slot, hooked up to the steering wheel, and that special drawer (red on the pictures) in the bottom one. so the tablet is basically right infront of the radio, rendering it unusable, but I've got the steering wheel for that. controls should be forwarded via remote control profile of bluetooth. A2DP should have sufficient soundquality, if not, maybe AUX and bluetooth control profile can be combined. dunno.
good idea?
"verstellbar" means "adjustable", sry it's german.
okay, back to the actual question:
the 'tuner' wants to have the holder now to build the cover, or it'll look ****ty.
but I do want to wait for GT2, dualcore and everything.
will the form-factor be the same? will the old hold work for GT2?
thanks!
What sort of question is this? The darn thing hasn't even been announced! For all we know it could be 2 cm thick or they upgraded to 7.5inches or something. How about you wait till we actually see a picture of it.

rumor has it the tab2 will be 10inch, if it is, then no its not going to fit.
So I've replaced my stock Navigation system in my '09 Mazda 6 with a 2nd gen Nexus 7.
I bought a used one off ebay because it didn't matter to me if the case/cover was banged up or not as I was planning on building it into the dash. The Nexus fits pretty well in the 2-din opening of the aftermarket panel I got [American International brand kit# MAZK860]. I used a Minisuit-X TPU case to help hold the tablet in place. The case creates a raised frame around the screen and makes it easier to locate the screen from the back of the 2-din panel. Notches needed to be cut in the sub-frame piece of the din kit for the USB connector and headphone jack, but other than that very little modifications were needed. I used a piece of PVC perforated sheet to hold the tablet into the din plate. The perforations in the sheet made it easy to cut out notches and holes with side cutters and achieve the shape I wanted without having to make a mess using a dremel.
For audio, I had purchased a Syba SD-CM-UAUD DAC but had trouble getting it to work right so I am now just using a 3.5mm 4-pin splitter to 3.5mm headphone/mic jacks. I have a JK MIC-J 044 lapel clip microphone stashed behind a small vent in the upper console panel and wired a headphone jack into the harness [Metra 70-7903]. I know some people think the DAC is far superior but I found the headphone jack audio output good enough for me and running it through the stock Bose amplifier in my car sounds excellent.
I'm also using a Joycon EXR to capture steering wheel controls and an EasyCap Dc60 to capture video from my KS1 dual channel dash camera. The camera is set to show the rear view for the video out so I can use it as a back-up camera on the tablet.
My first time installing the tablet worked ok. I had a few problems including the steering controls not working (except Volume down) and the battery wouldn't stay charged enough, forcing me to remove the tablet and charge it every other week. The Easycam also wouldn't work and flash drives wouldn't load right. The Joycon, Easycap, and flash drive issues were due to the $2 4-port hub I got free with something. I tried an Amazon Essentials hub too and it had an intermittent short. A 4-port Insignia hub from Bestbuy did the trick and everything is working now.
I did rebuild the harness last weekend because I wanted to get the Li-Ion battery out of the hot dash. Even though this setup was working ok, when it's 90-plug degrees outside, the tablet will shut itself off and boot-loop until it cools down. I decided to replace the battery with a 12V to 4.2V DC Step-Down regulator. I got an extra battery from ebay and remove the tiny controller board. I had read where other people just replaced the battery with a power supply and were getting odd messages from the tablet about how it was at 0 volts and wouldn't sleep or update properly. So, I used the battery control board and it reports the battery level to the tablet (usually around 90~95%).
The only issue I am having with the power is that when I start the engine, either the power is dropping too much or the car kills power to the radio harness and then I have to wait for the tablet to restart.
To fix this, I plan on using a capacitor to try and keep the tablet powered while the car is starting.
I do need some help. Though I have removed the Li-Ion battery, the overheated tablet will still shut down and boot-loop until it cools down. Is there a way to program it to ignore the temp. sensor? If not, does anyone know where this particular sensor is so I can replace it with a fixed resistor and make it think it's always room temp?
Questions, comments, and ideas welcome!

I haven't been on any trips yet, but I did test it on the ride home from work and it works well; picks up the GPS signal well. I just used Google Maps navigation for it and I input the directions using "OK Google".

Hey guys, I've got a px5 1024x600 MTCE octa-core head unit running the latest version of the Hal9k rom in a 2015 nissan altima. I've been looking for a solution to an issue for a while now. It's been a problem even on the stock rom, but I flashed the hal9krom hoping a custom rom would help, but I still haven't found a solution.
I have a heads up display in the dash behind the steering wheel that has a popup that will display audio info. After installing the headunit, if I am not actively in a2dp, the radio app, or the music app, the heads up display will repeatedly flash "no audio" (it will display a full second, disappear for a tenth of second, then immediately display again, repeatedly). This covers up the rest of the info on the heads up display, and the constant flashing on the dash is distracting. If I enter the a2dp or music app, the pop up will go away, but if I use the radio, it will repeatedly show a pop up with the current radio station.
I'm pretty sure it's related to the canbus, but cannot figure out how to configure it. If I set the canbus in factory settings to off, no pop-ups will appear, but the steering wheel buttons also won't work. Any ideas on how to get the pop up to show only one time for a second, or to not pop up at all, but have the steering wheel buttons still work?
Ok, after some trial and error, I figured out a solution. Switching from the Nissan(raise) canbus to the camry15(simple) canbus allows the steering wheel buttons to work, but the heads up display no longer shows audio notifications, which is what I wanted.
Hey people.
I have ordered a BMW motorbike, which has a wheel interface on the left handlebar.
This wheel controls various things on the bike, but also a seperate sat nav unit (Garmin something or other)
Anyway I have found a device called wunderLINQ which will convert the handlebar wheel interface into keyboard input
It has Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter and Escape.
It also sends data from the bike (tyre pressures, RPM, speed, etc etc)
I know some vehicles have android auto without a touchscreen (Mazda and audi at least) and I wondered if there was a way to get the android auto app on my phone to act like this?
Cheers,
Tom.
Hello!
I just got my Dasaita Max6 installed by CarToys, into my 2014 Fiat 500. I have a couple questions. I have no steering wheel control. CarToys said the included wires won't allow steering wheel control. Is there anything I can do in the settings to make it work? Or do I need to buy a specific cable?
Also, a yellow triangle alert screen will randomly pop up while I'm driving. It stops the audio and I can't use any buttons on the stereo while the yellow triangle is being displayed. It only seems to come on when I hit a bump in the road, and won't go away until I hit another bump? Is this a loose wire, or just a coincidence?
Last question, does this stereo support an iPod? Thanks everyone for your help!!!!!
Incorrect forum BTW, you have an MTCD/E. I would take it back for refund or remediation.
