I know this is a long shot but I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt it has the dvd player system…anyway to connect this in one this old and also leave that dvd player working?
When its on wireless does apple carplay run smooth? Are the navi caps slow or choppy? Does it run better when plugged in? Also any issues with over heating? does it have a fan? thanks
Thanks for showing me how to install it! I'm going to try and get the wires to go down into that open compartment in the lighter colored plastic, below the dash, so it plugs into my cell phone which I will keep in there.
Thanks for the sensible and informative video! Does the car have the blind spot sensor? I have read in Chrysler forums that you need to keep the original UConnect radio for this to keep working or substitute it with some Maestro RR module...
It’s compatible but you would have to find the adapter the plugs into the cars reverse camera connection which converts it to a yellow RCA video so it can be connected to the screen.
Most of the ones on Amazon that are listed for this make and model (2008-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan) come with everything needed, including the frame / bezel and the wiring adapters. Minimal splicing is sometimes needed if you want to use your original backup cam.
Does this aftermarket radio the rear infotainment system that came as a factory option in some 2015 grand caravans? Can my rear passengers still watch movies?
Is it possible for you to show or do a step-by-step and how to properly configured the steering wheel controls so they work. I got everything else working except my steering wheel do I need a different cable
The new link in the description is the kit that includes the screen as well. This one is the exact same one that’s in my vehicle with working steering wheel buttons. Perhaps your screen has issues.
Are there clips that hold the radio in like the original radio? As well do you have a video about setting up steering wheel buttons? Great product, thanks for the video
Can you please tell me what settings you used for the steering wheel controls? I can't seem to get them to work and I'm not sure what the settings are. But if I also have a 2015 Dodge Grand caravan so if you could call me what your controls are I could set it up as well then
I am trying to reach out to you on the website to purchase one for my dodge grand caravan 2015 .. how long does it take to get delivered to Maryland ? And will I need to buy any thing extra or everything is included in the package?
Sorry for the late reply. It will take 2-3 weeks. Everything is included in the kit to get the screen and after market cam installed. You may need to source a power cable/tappers to tap into the reverse light of you vehicle.
No additional adapter needed you just have to change the canbus from what ever it’s set to jeep in the canbus settings. If jeep doesn’t work for you try going through the list until it works.
Do your dash board speaker work? I installed my setup with an aftermarket harness but i only get sound out of my door and rear speakers. No dash board sound. Or center speaker. Let me know how yours sounds. Thanks.
Hello, yes it will work with your 2017 Dodge Caravan. Does you Van have the rear DVD player? The harness is only if you want it separately but the kit includes everything (Harness+Screen+Hardware).
I have a 2918 Dodge Caravan came with the satellite radio Sirius and an OEM backup cam. Can the original wiring from the backup cam be used for this setup? Very interested to dobthis upgrade. Good video with a wealth of information on how to open the cluster. Thank you
Your link the description is no longer working. Do you recommend this for 2020 dodge grand caravan SXT ? Looking to upgrade radio for CarPlay will my reverse cam still work?
Thank you so much for this clear tutorial. (At 00:11:00) how difficult is it to create space for the USB and mic cable? That’s my only concern about getting into this project.
I had issues with the one I installed on the video which is why I did not link that one. I ended up changing it to another one and the 2nd one is currently the good one in the Caravan. The reason why I linked the one on Amazon is because it is more cost effective.
Got installed and worked no problem for 2 days now all I’m getting is a black screen and can’t get it to work at all, tried reset button, unplugged and redid it all and nothing is working just a black screen. Is there a way to fix this :(
I bought an old 2012 caravan crew. Can you please send me the link where you bought the entire part number . Was it Amozon, ebay or Best Buy. I am interested. Thank you.
I bought it from Alibaba. There are different models online you can choose from. You can also search on AliExpress. Just search Dodge Caravan Screen and you will get the results. Make sure to ask the seller if their screen is plug n play and includes the harness. Here is a link: www.alibaba.com/product-detail/RTS-Car-Radio-Android-12-0_1600770601361.html?spm=a2747.manage.0.0.4b1d71d2nGNLqe
I'm interested in ordering this kit ....So how has this head unit & kit been working on your Dodge ? What is the name of this unit or is it just a no-name china unit....as I don't see any reviews? How is the sound and speed? Any glitches with its processor? I don't see a wifi antenna ? And how long for shipping when ordered thru your store? Is there any warranty and customer support?
The one in the video is the original one I installed which turned out to be bad but since then I changed it to a much better model which is working great. New model which is currently sold on website includes wifi and is better overall.
Thanks for this! Exactly what I’m looking for in my 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. Is your updated link the link for the new radio that isn’t faulty and is still working in your vehicle?
One more question, when I go to the link provided it looks like the product on Alibaba contains less wires than what you show in your video (radio antenna at least.). I am excited about a plug and play but want to make sure I’m getting what I need. I’m also hesitant because I see some comments saying it cost 290 something and what I am seeing is cheaper.
Well with electronics even if it’s brand name you can have issues. I don’t think the Sony one integrates into the old radio location like the one in the video. Ultimately it’s up to you which route you want to go. Good luck.
Yes it’s compatible. You can order now. Link is in video description. Also added it below. www.ebay.ca/itm/284895770731?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yfpqZQ4-SMm&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=yfpqZQ4-SMm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
So I ended up buying a radio I connected it today but it’s not supporting my steering wheel control do I have to add any other cable. Also this radio does not come with zlink. Do you know if I can access apple car play.
@@RonDIYMods Did you try programming the steering wheel controls? Could be the actual screen itself. It should have Zlink as I ordered the ones I linked and connected them to my Van to make sure it has zlink and everything works fine.
Just got the unit like this and it only works until I turn off my 2016 grand caravan for 5 min. After that my unit not turning on the screen. It stays connected to my iphone, I can play music make calls but screen stays just off. Only way to turn screen back on is to hit reset button but then everything repeats. It stays on until vehicle turns off. Any Idea?
Glad to hear it’s great. Actually the microphone is built into the screen with this model. The one in the video is an older model which required a external mic. As for the USB I can try to see if the supplier can send you another one. Can you send me a picture of the missing item to samiseries23@gmail.com?
Hello, glad your interested. I’m actually working on getting an updated version. After I receive the new updated version and make sure it’s good. I will send you the link to order it.
I send an email to the email that I paid via PayPal, it was bounced back, I try to get installation support via contact us on your site, I got no respond. The screen just shows the android logo then go blank immediately, I need help
@@samiseries6295 I asked about Android Auto, not CarPlay. CarPlay is for iPhones. Android Auto is for Android phones. Does this to "wireless" for Android Auto?
