This video is just an update on my setup so that you may get some ideas for your own adventure car! If you have any suggestions, comment below! my merch: dahoodscientist.com/shop
It’s super cheap but the quality is also meh. It’s basically a tablet with radio functions. Everything works well and you don’t lose button function so that’s good. My only complaint is that CarPlay randomly quits working
I would love to see some updates as you do it! there is no way I can join the van life because of my work but I love the adventures of those who choose that lifestyle!
Everything works well because the stereo has a “canbus” harness! This specific model comes with a built in GPS system but truthfully I just use my phones Apple Maps with CarPlay
@@DaHoodScientist awesome thanks for the reply. I saw where you posted a link to it on Amazon but said you got it for half the price on Alibaba...do you have that link handy by chance?
@@GOAdventures765 I upgraded from the 5in so anything bigger would be nicer for me. I don’t care for the bells and whistles but think of it as a big tablet. It’s cool
I got a lifted jeep that I keep alot of stuff up top on. Like a spare and such. Its sometimes a pain depending on the weight of what I'm trying to put up there
@@Mikeongaia oh whoops! Absolutely! It’s great even for a non lifted Jeep if you don’t wanna get mud on the seats! Here is the link www.ebay.com/itm/392476356627
Nice with the pressurized water canister! Definitely picking up that step on Ebay as I got the seat nasty washing the Rene this weekend by stepping into the back door. Thanks for the update! -the Med Lab Scientist
What kind of screen is that on the dash? How did they make it fit? I assume they had to cut? Looks bigger than what comes with the renegade. I have a 2015 trailhawk. I never had mods done with the radio touchscreen.
so this stereo actually comes with a bevel dash kit included! I'll be straight up, it was an extremely easy install, no cutting at all--all plug and play. you can tell the quality is not the best in terms of a clunky user interface but its lightyears better than Uconnect. its essentially an android tablet that lets you do anything a tablet/stereo does and you can keep your stock controls. I have a front facing camera, a gps and a 4G antenna on mine. here is a link to one on amazon but I got mine on alibaba for half price! www.amazon.com/XTRONS-Renegade-Navigation-Bluetooth-Supports/dp/B08JLQM15J
@@DaHoodScientist yeah I just saw your front camera video now. Cool. I wonder if they make wireless blue tooth cameras? Do you know if they make security cameras for cars? Mount on the sides. I have a dash cam but I need more angles to record.
I have seen bluetooth rear cameras that have a dongle that connects to the dash but I have heard that sometimes they aren't working great and you need to reset it, meaning you have to pull out the dash. I stoped looking beyond that !
