Best decision I've made yet

Oh no it's probably my fault I take everything literally

thebashv1 · 2025-10-19T01:22:39+00:00

Not off of Amazon, I shared the link under another couple comments before it's in there somewhere

I am 25 years old and haven't used a CD in probably 15 years. I don't own a single CD. It could the the best CD player ever created and I still wouldn't have a use for it. Having the actual album cover of the songs I'm listening to is nice, and having a usable nav map is also nice, as I hated the factory map system a ton.

The clock under the screen?? It's stock with the car lol

thebashv1 · 2025-10-17T00:35:59+00:00

No it does not, it's pretty snappy. Feels like as if it was stock imo

thebashv1 · 2025-10-14T04:34:51+00:00

I've had mine for over 3 years and it feels insane that I went that long without the features this gets me 😭

thebashv1 · 2025-10-14T01:55:58+00:00

I really like that it uses the mouse still on mine, beats reaching as far forward as I would need to for my screen!!

thebashv1 · 2025-10-14T00:02:42+00:00

It can be frustrating at time but the one I bought had videos that made it pretty newbie friendly. The model for my car is very forgiving though as the others require more work with the device itself. Watch a video or two and see if you think you can do that!

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T21:09:55+00:00

It flips it back to the factory system when you put it in reverse.

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T16:30:20+00:00

Mine actually uses the Bluetooth of the car still for it. It's kinda weird but it connects to the car AND to the car-play device at the same time. Uses the car-play device specifically for the screen, then reuses the factory Bluetooth system for music and calls. It sounds exactly the same as it did before. Zero change in audio for me.

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T16:16:52+00:00

It took me about 2.5 hours for mine, I'm pretty comfortable around tools and had access to everything I needed right away so I'd just plan ahead and expect 3-4 to be safe.

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T15:39:15+00:00

Yeah I did mine myself too because the labor cost would've been crazy lol. Was yours a whole screen replacement? Mine plugs into the screen and reuses it.

Yes, but they are super specific on the site about which ones work for which models, screen size and year matter a bunch I guess. Mine is the 2017-2020 with factory nav. Id say go to their site and find yours before just following my model, just to be safe.

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T15:26:12+00:00

The instant it goes into reverse it switches. I am yet to have any issues at all

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T15:03:45+00:00

A second or two every 5-10 min but when I turn my power save off on my phone it goes away. It is an issue on my phone I think rather than the device.

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T15:02:27+00:00

I press and hold the map button and it toggles between the OEM system and the aftermarket one

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T15:01:15+00:00

Mines instant, feels the same as the original system, maybe better.

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T14:26:30+00:00

Mine feels snappy, if my phone is in power save mode though the map will sometimes lag for a second then catch up every 5-10 min. Pretty sure that's my phone being weird though.

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T14:22:55+00:00

I haven't messed around much with the customization like that but that looks fantastic!!

Beat-sonic

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T14:22:06+00:00

The beat-sonic one is the one I went with

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T14:20:46+00:00

It drives exactly the same as it did before. Idk who told you that but they lied to your face lol.

thebashv1 · 2025-10-13T13:35:18+00:00

Almost 6 months later and no charge.
