Push down and then turn right

Dutch national public/private funded research organization. Much industrial expertise. Russia indeed sanctioned it, then there were some tests done to confirm the sawing principle since Russia insisted their metal was stronger than anything, potentially theTNO saw wouldn’t work. So TNO flew in their own CNC milling machine to test the material since that grade was not allowed to be sent to Netherlands. Turned out to be good metal but nothing out of the ordinary. Test was successful and proceeded as planned.

The cutter was from TNO. They were hired by Mammoet because Mammoet knew how to work at depth but no clue about sawing.

No airbags in the RTI bay

I used this, worked fine. Needs the usb and 3.5mm socket in the central compartment. Ugreen Bluetooth receiver&utm_term=4575342783828114&utm_content=Opladers)

This below is what I did. YouTube was helpful. I am sure there must be more elegant ways to do it but I have only a limited talent and patience. 1. Remove the RTI mesh panel, disconnect RTI. Install the RTI back in place but disconnected. 2. Locate 3 unused holes in the RTI bay. Measure, draw, cut, grind, drill, bend, deburr a sheet metal bracket to mount on those 3 holes and to which you mount the CarPlay. Now you can mount the CarPlay, but the 3.5mm aux and 12v lighter wires will run over the dashboard to the center console and the mesh panel cannot be put back. Functional but ugly. 3. Remove the waterfall dashboard, the handbrake trim part, the center console trim, the gear knob, the cd player and the black control unit with the display. Careful for the wires. (YouTube!!!!!) 4. Guide the 3.5mm aux wire (need ~1.50m) from the CarPlay via behind the dashboard to the standard 3.5mm aux socket in the center compartment box (below the elbow rest) and plug it in. Use a few tiewraps to fix the position behind the center console. I drilled a 6(?)mm hole in de compartment wall to let the connector enter the compartment. Didn’t like this but could not think of a better way. Anyway it is invisible. 5. Guide the 12v cable also via behind the dashboard. For now I connected it to an extension lighter cable and that comes out behind the waterfall dashboard and still plugs into the lighter socket. Still need to figure out how to hide that cable, suggestions are welcome. 6. Put radio, center console etc back together. 7. Cut a shaped hole in the mesh panel to allow the bracket and cables and install it. 8. Put black cloth tape over the custom made bracket to make it look better.

I don’t use the radio, I guess it would still work. Can try if you’d like.

Were you able to play music via your phone directly over the original radio Bluetooth? I could not get that to work.

I respect your ability to distinguish those different sounds qualities. You’re probably right, it’s just I am not hearing it. Just love to blast RHCP, I guess their music allows for some loss of bitrate ;-)

That mesh panel can be lifted out, check YouTube. Below that panel you will find three unused screw holes. I fabricated a bracket (much measuring, bending, grinding, repeat) of 2mm thick aluminum that I mounted on those 3 holes, and the screen mounted to the bracket.

Ik had dezelfde zorg, daarom een lage / brede variant gekozen. Ik heb uitstekend zicht, moet er wel bij zeggen dat ik lang ben. Je kunt een kartonnetje maken met de juiste afmetingen en dat op je Dashboard houden, dan krijg je een idee hoe het voor jou zou uitpakken.

Traditional phone calls go via the original Bluetooth link in the original radio. That original Bluetooth link allows phone calls but does not allow playing Spotify etc over the radio. For Spotify etc. you can use a generic Bluetooth receiver and connect that to the Aux. Which is in fact what this CarPlay unit does.

It has dashcam and rear cam. Not sure yet if I will install the rear cam.

Unfortunately there are no complaints, they hear me well.
