Couple of quick questions. Which one did you purchase as there's several options as far as ram and gb size and pricing. And Any update on how the unit has been doing ever since? Any lags or "boot up" or freezing or connecting problems ?

@btbuildthings 7 месяцев назад

I did the 2G-32G which should be about $349. The unit functions, I just don't like the harness connector for the canbus that connect near the steering wheel. The design for the harness doesn't seem practical. You can install it without connecting it but you will lose minor data points coming over the canbus.

@zayturner5075 6 месяцев назад

@@btbuildthings what are you referring to by data points? So to confirm.....you're saying 0 issues since you mentioned that it functions?

@State4Grassachusetts 3 месяца назад

Do you have an update on how the unit is working after a few months? Any issues, pros, cons. Great video, by the way!

@btbuildthings 13 дней назад

Thanks. Much appreciated. Pros: looks stock. Cons: functionality isn't the best. Better to just take out the current head unit and go aftermarket.

@kamilmora9628 10 месяцев назад

Tambien me interesa mantener el aspecto se fábrica, pero optando porque el audio mantengabsu calidad temga su control de volante compatible, es asi?

@btbuildthings 9 месяцев назад

El diseño de este sistema hace que sea un poco más difícil mantener el aspecto OEM. La mejor opción de trabajo es reemplazar la unidad principal por una de posventa. Best Buy tiene muchas buenas opciones. La radio Android en este video mantiene el aspecto de fábrica, pero en mi opinión no funciona muy bien.

@kamilmora9628 2 месяца назад

Friend, I finally got this screen, but there is no way to connect the navigation controls through the buttons and dials on the panel below where the CD and radio ones are, you have to navigate through the touch panel only on the screen itself. There is no other way? The other thing is that the temperature cannot be controlled by numbers.

@btbuildthings 13 дней назад

The vendor told me it can be connected to the steering controls.

@andykamstra4692 2 месяца назад

Hello young man just watched one of your videos. I have a 2012 Acura TSX. Can you recommend a good stereo with CarPlay and that will work with the navigation thank you.

@btbuildthings 2 месяца назад

I would say, head over to your local Best Buy and grab a Pioneer Model: DMH-2660NEX. Comes with free installation as well. www.bestbuy.com/site/pioneer-6-8-android-auto-and-apple-carplay-bluetooth-digital-media-dm-receiver-black/6425026.p?skuId=6425026

@andykamstra4692 2 месяца назад

thank you for the recommendation, young man!

@andykamstra4692 2 месяца назад

With this installation, will I still be able to use my CD player?

@btbuildthings 2 месяца назад

@andykamstra4692 the entire unit that I pulled out @ 4:37 is where the new radio would go. If you still want to use CDs, that would require a different unit to be installed.

@btbuildthings 2 месяца назад

Here is a unit that comes with a CD player. Kenwood Model: DDX5707S. www.bestbuy.com/site/kenwood-6-8-android-auto-apple-carplay-bluetooth-dvd-and-digital-media-dm-receiver-and-android-screen-mirroring-black/6420660.p?skuId=6420660. If you wanted to stick with Pioneer, this model (Model:AVH-2550NEX) costs a little more but it does have a CD player: www.bestbuy.com/site/pioneer-6-8-android-auto-and-apple-carplay-bluetooth-digital-media-dm-receiver-black/6328679.p?skuId=6328679

Was this a "Tech Package" vehicle with navigation?

@btbuildthings 8 месяцев назад

No this does not have the tech package. I really don't understand why they didn't just make all special edition models fully optioned.

Are you going to change the head unit?

@btbuildthings 11 месяцев назад

The unit that was installed basically replaces the "head unit". My recommendation would be to leave the top screen in place and replace the head unit with a regular branded unit that has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Pain in the ass, just get the Tsx tech edition.

@btbuildthings 3 месяца назад

The better question is why Acura didn't make all Special Edition models come standard with the Tech Package. I thought it was supposed to be "SPECIAL". 😂

@faisalthe01 11 месяцев назад

AC controls will never work, all canbus only support Celsius and not Fahrenheit thats why it only shows L or H. Also, there are many other models for CU2 headunit, why went for this shitty one?

@btbuildthings 11 месяцев назад

Good to know. I chose this unit as it was the best option to maintain the factory look. With that said, an aftermarket unit will definitely be a better option.
