This is the 3rd offering of aftermarket screens for our beloved Y62. I’m really nervous out doing this review, is it going to be good, or just ok? Or an absolute POS 🤷♂️🤔. You’ll just have to watch and see how it goes
I don't like that the fascia plastic is all rippled with the gloss finish it stands out. One other thing I would mention is though you say buying from Australian company you can ring up if you have dramas. Ec offroad seem to be happy to sell you a screen but offer no support afterwards I've seen numerous posts regarding the older version they sold and the instrument clusters. Other than that i agree it looks like the best version yet no lag and no load time when powered on is a great improvement over the older ones
We definitely need a part 2! How well does wireless android auto work (& wireless carplay) TMPS, did you fix camera button & night driving (does screen have option to dim fully while still playing music) & what version of android does it actually run?
Hi ,luv ya work .so thankyou. We are getting a y62 in jan ,qld .ec offroad is doing upgrades .and as a surprise xmas pres for husband i was doing the head unit and digital dash .i have watched your install and would like to know now u have had for a while what your honest thoughts are . Obviously would hate to part with $ 5000 and then hubby struggle with the purchase ,obviously ec offroad will be doing the instal .thanks again would luv to catch up one day maybe even on one of your trips ,also luv your new bonnet its fabulous 👌. Have a great day 😊
Interesting product but the $2999 price is ridiculous. You can see they've built a big margin into it for all the tech support and returns they're going to have to deal with.
Install an aftermarket launcher like Nova or similar to improve the experience and provide even more customisation 👍 Had this screen for almost 2 months and absolutely love it!
Hi! Been watching your videos for a bit now and love what you’re doing, wish there was a market for aftermarket parts here in the states. Any idea if this would work on a 2017 Armada platinum with the in dash DVD player? Also any update on how it’s been since the install? Thanks and keep up the great content!
bout blody time, I love the Y62 but hate the dated dash.....looks great and I love the speed, just seen the price, very exe but if I was an owner I wouldn't hesitate, nice one Dave
Awesome Dave. Pretty keen to hear your opinion on the phone call quality once you have tested it and also the brightness of that screen when night driving.
I suspect that because it’s been over 5 months now and Dave hasn’t done a follow up review, he doesn’t recommend this unit, and in his words, “doesn’t want to bag another Aussie company”. I’m waiting for delivery of my new TI-L so I think an interface upgrade to the Nissan head unit will suffice for me, as well as a wood grain delete pre-cut wrap kit from “Signature Auto Styling”. Watched their installation vids for the wrap, excellent tutorial. 🇦🇺
Funny you should say that, I remember watching when it 1st came out & just revisiting now & see he hasn’t mentioned again… looked like the camera select didn’t work, that’s a std feature we like for wheel placement (or the misses parking 🤣)
Does the parking guide lines move for front and rear cameras? And does the Moving Object Detection work? Thanks. I bought one from EC off-road but haven't just installed it yet. Doing it this weekend. Bought the digital dash, man that's an awesome upgrade. Just because of the exact things you mentioned in the video I didn't buy it from Ali express or Ali baba . If I want support, I have it at my finger tips with EC off-road.
How about car settings function such as calibration of TPMS,Door lock options ,light settings...I didn't see any option..lost the voice command function as well...Any tips
Looks great. However it doesn’t look simple to operate, like a factory CarPlay or android auto. Far too many things going on. When you were pressing the camera button, was that to get the reverse camera going? Also would of been nice to connect the heated seat controls to the unit and have room for more switches on the bottom. Good luck with it Dave . Look forward to future vids with your thoughts 😉
Dave are you coming to Sydney in September for the 4x4 show would really love to see it in person and have a chat with you about the stereo and and get your thoughts on it before I buy one for my patrol 🙌🏼
Can we please have a longer term review on this ? Are you still using it ? any issues or feedback before I spend the $$$ would be very much appreciated
Hello I installed the unit but I have a problem. The radio works great across all speakers but if I open car play or Bluetooth music it only play from the fro t speaker. Any idea what went wrong?
Totally, I have been trying to source one from USA, but UAE and Phillipines also have the new interior. Seems the issue is Nissan Aus only. I would be happy to pay $3k for a genuine Nissan one.
Thanks for the video. Still failing to understand what ec off road do other than change the splash screen and charge $1500 handling fee for the Chinese products. For their claim that they manufacture it all (including the operating system and gui) in house when it's a direct copy of the Chinese product is a bit sus.
How long on average do you think it would take for someone that hasn't fitted one of these before, would the average Y62 owner be able to do it or should the installation be left to a radio shop tech etc.
The only change I can work out is the splash screen has been changed to "ecoffroad". Which, I find hilarious considering ECOFFROAD claim they manufacture the unit and the software, despite it being identical to other products available from china 🤔
Lol, I wouldn’t base buying a patrol over a cruiser based on head unit upgrade…. We’ve decided against this unit for the moment but still getting a patrol
As far as I can see there wasn't an update....did you just forget or was it actually like you said at the end of the video? 😂 Just seen one cooment from you from 3days ago saying you still have it in and another from 6months ago saying you took it out....whats the go woth that?
Wow $3,000 just to be able get apple car play for better maps, don't think so, will stick with using my Iphone and a car mount, the rest of the Y62 system is not too bad
How are you finding it? Have an outlander hire car atm while my 62 is in DRD getting the Dash bar put on 👍 and even the multimedia unit in that is leaps and bounds above the patrol.
@@DASHOffRoad Awesome. A friend of mine bought one from Ali express a 6G 128G ROM CarPlay he’s had it for three weeks now no issues at all.looks exactly same. I was thinking of getting one for my petrol to just don’t know what’s in the difference unless you compare them to together side-by-side. Thanks for the feedback Dave
I just did an upgrade to an Android 9 inch unit in my car. Bought from from Aliexpress $290 to my door, plug and play with excellent fitting fascia. I see the same unit with different fascias being advertised for a huge amount of models and they charge well over $1000.
@@4x4CampingandAdventures Mine isn't a y62, just making sure you know. But the exact screen which is practically a tablet, is the exact same one across many sellers here in Oz.
This module just look so cheap, definitely would just keep the original console but upgrade a CarPlay chip. Wondering if Nissan release rhd new interior, would y62 s5 be able to fit the factory new console?
It’s not quite right to start the video about how you have the freedom to say whatever you want and give your honest opinion and then not give it… and let us sit thinking you hate it because you haven’t created a follow up. The biggest and most important function, that you said you would test in that video, was hands free. You’re probably doing EC and the viewers a disservice by not allowing EC and us to know what’s wrong with it publicly, so everyone doesn’t get trapped into buying it and ultimately EC can make a better product.
@@DASHOffRoad good to hear my bro I think we all desperately waiting on your feedback cause we all desperately wanting to upgrade our Entertainment System on the patrol🙌🏼😰
@@brendan3430 Nissan dealer told me "It's because the Australian market are more laid back. Other markets won't put up with it". ....we don't have a choice but put up with it, or spend $50k more for a LC300
I have been looking for something like this for a while. But honestly speaking.. it is giving looks of a cheaply finished chinese unit. Poor button clicks I could hear in the video. I would never put this in my 100k car and make it look cheap
Another piece of overpriced crap. You have to go to university to learn how to navigate the rubbish. The standard one that comes with it works just fine.
My wife's CX5 has a landscape screen similar to this. It's actually really nice and you get used to it super quickly. The fact that 5 months on Dave hasn't done an updated review tells me more than the landscape screen does.
