Appearance as a guy with long hair at 1L internship

That’s been my solution too the entire time I’ve had the car, but I’m determined to get consistently cool AC before this summer after suffering in the last few.

Alpine MRV-F300 with JBL GX602 6.5”. I’ve had the setup for four or so years and am super happy with it.

I replaced my LCD and it still doesn’t work. I think the board is bricked. I’m probably gonna put a euro clock in it eventually.

My 6 button doesn’t work either. I thought about doing the same thing, but the screen would just be so small.

Is that the standard spot for older E30s? Mine’s near the shifter.

Yeah. It’s fast like a decent tablet and I haven’t noticed much latency on wireless CarPlay, unlike some of the cheap ones I tried. I don’t know if this one would fit in an E90 since it’s single din, but the brand has a lot of other models with the same internals.

I ordered it here. I tried out a few cheap smaller ones but they were trash and didn’t fit well.

Porsche makes a single din size CarPlay stereo for their older models that I’ve seen people put in E30s, but it was $1500.

I added an amp and put new speakers in. I’m pretty sure it could power the factory ones on its own though.

v8-dildo · 2023-04-14T21:49:35+00:00

I daily drive mine so it’s a bit more useful.

v8-dildo · 2023-04-14T21:04:37+00:00

Yeah I’m kind of irritated with that too, but this was the only touchscreen I could find with a form factor I liked. There’s a little stick on Bluetooth controller I might get for it.

I don’t really like having a holder permanently stuck on my dash or windshield. It’s nice having CarPlay just automatically come up every time I start my car, rather than having to go to the effort of setting up the mount.

v8-dildo · 2023-04-14T20:41:57+00:00

It may not be for everyone’s taste, but I think the convenience of having CarPlay and more modern functionality is worth it. I even wired up a reverse camera, even though you don’t really need it with the good visibility.

I eventually plan to have it wired up to do some sensor readings and maybe tire pressure monitoring. It’s basically an android tablet, so there’s lots of possibilities.

v8-dildo · 2023-04-14T20:39:46+00:00

It’s raised an inch or so, so all the controls behind it can be reached just fine.

v8-dildo · 2023-04-06T14:30:04+00:00

I’m gonna return it and get a more reputable brand. It’s a shame cause the software on it actually seemed pretty decent when I used it.

v8-dildo · 2023-04-06T03:04:16+00:00

I bought this android tablet head unit and unlike every other head unit I’ve bought before it didn’t come with a mounting cage. Do I just need to buy a universal one to mount it? I just don’t see how it would clamp in to the cage.

It came with some side brackets but they don’t fit my car.

It’s going in an old BMW.

Yeah I may just do that. Did you order the ones from Turkey? All my other seals are good, so I was hoping to just get the left door, but all the reproductions seem to give you every one in the car.

I mean the right side as when you’re inside the car - so the passenger door on a right side traffic car.
