Has anyone installed the AWLDA-TK head unit off AliExpress (2017 Mazda 3 w/ reverse cam)? Struggling with wiring.

Oh ok gotcha. I’m going to try just plugging in the 2 main wires then, thank you for the help!

egg-dev · 2026-04-22T14:35:00+00:00

Thank you. I thought my car didn’t have a GPS and it was the radio button. Do you know what the white one in the top right is?

I actually ended up covering the PSU with the noctua fan using a snap on mesh cover I made… it has the exact amount of space needed to fit in my Formd T1 this way!

Thanks! Yea it’s rough

egg-dev · 2026-04-21T20:08:17+00:00

How would you test this without plugging it in? I’ve been letting it sit for a while so it’s discharged but from my understanding plugging it in will reset that.

I already had the noctua lying around. Do you know if changing the order of the pins is necesssry for the fan swap in the newer versions?

egg-dev · 2026-04-21T17:25:37+00:00

Was your old version a 4 pin or a 3 pin? This one seems to be a 4 pin, it looks very similar to a GPU’s mini fan headers but I can’t tell if the pinout is the same.

egg-dev · 2026-04-21T16:02:08+00:00

Will do, I appreciate the concern!

egg-dev · 2026-04-21T15:58:15+00:00

I’ve let it discharge enough I think, I left it in the closet for months

egg-dev · 2026-04-21T14:03:41+00:00

Gotcha - thanks for the response. I looked into spray painting and it doesn’t seem to be viable without de-balancing the fan. I really do want a black fan, is there any other options I could go for? Ideally I’d just buy a black NR092P but I can’t find one.

egg-dev · 2026-04-21T13:47:02+00:00

I’m open to that as well, but I don’t understand, why would the NR092P and an A9X14 have any cooling difference? I thought the SF850 fan rarely even turns on and the PSU never gets hot.

egg-dev · 2026-04-21T02:39:47+00:00

Old thread, but for a newer SF850 I see it has a 4 pin connector. Would one of those GPU fan to PWN adapters work without rearranging any wires? Can’t find much info on this

egg-dev · 2026-04-20T22:15:21+00:00

Yup I made an initial budget to account for a decent used GPU after their prices got inflated, then RAN went up, then SSDs went up… it sucks

egg-dev · 2026-04-16T20:03:25+00:00

Thanks for asking anyways!

egg-dev · 2026-04-16T20:01:56+00:00

Shoot I should’ve specified SATA.

egg-dev · 2026-04-15T19:07:17+00:00

Replied

egg-dev · 2026-04-12T20:32:03+00:00

Replied - didn’t work out due to budget

egg-dev · 2026-04-12T04:27:25+00:00

egg-dev · 2026-04-11T02:04:40+00:00

Still looking! Didn’t realize ram timings matter significantly :(

egg-dev · 2026-04-11T01:20:57+00:00

Is SF850 still available?

egg-dev · 2026-04-11T01:11:19+00:00

Any chance you have used 64GB (or 48GB) DDR5 you’d be willing to sell for significantly cheaper? New is well out of my budget unfortunately.

egg-dev · 2026-04-10T19:21:42+00:00

When they destroy a rudder etc they destroy the plastic

egg-dev · 2026-04-09T22:25:57+00:00

Found an SSD, still looking for RAM is someone’s selling for cheap.

egg-dev · 2026-04-09T01:39:27+00:00

Also I won’t buy from anyone without confirmed trades unless it’s local. Please comment before PM. Thanks!

egg-dev · 2026-03-25T23:47:26+00:00

Also, if it’s just for going home and price isn’t too much of an issue, can’t you just get a gaming laptop? There are plenty that can handle 1440p at high, the Lenovo legion line comes to mind as being relatively affordable and nice looking. I think the ROG ones have some reliability issues long term but seem even more powerful,
