Anybody else cutting their dash using a Dremel is easier and less risk of damage than a drill and reciprocating saw

Top of the dash I used dremel. Now that I remember I have one of those multi-tool cutter that would have made cleaner cut.
The lower half the of dash I used that hand held jig saw which had short fine blade.. was going for speed..

BTW, no one could really figure out how to do the 360 camera or front & rear camera. I pour through hundreds of post and one user used this module https://www.qualitymobilevideo.com/avs210.html
I ordered it but not sure how its going to work and where the power will come from. Either from the android unit or I run one out of the fuse box. it wont be here for a 2-3 weeks but once I get it, Ill test it and report back.
The Avin guys sells a front camera but can't supply any documentation. Another issue is finding a front camera that works. Basically the image will be inverted if you buy a rear camera to use in front, which is what I have. very few places I can find HD camera that has the invert option. If I do find one I will report back.

Its a pretty good upgrade. Good thing we didn't get the older android... so many people brick it by upgrading the firmware trying to get stuff to work, older android 7/8 was so buggy. If you are getting this, now is good for version 9+.

Snake the camera wire in, license plate light camera. Install the reverse light led light bar, tap into reverse light wire, no errors.

Has anyone found a version of these that can connect to the original E85 CCC type SatNav LVDS connection? The radio unit that comes with the SatNav screen has no display on its own, which would make it impossible to see what radio station is on, setting time and date or adjusting the equalizer settings. I've seen units that have an LVDM input, but nothing that would pair up with the 18 pin OEM connector for the original screen.

Hi guys. New to this but have a 2006 Z4 with factory fitted sat nav that doesn’t work. Pop up still works but screen lights up randomly. Just seen this and wondering if this unit fits my car and if you all think it’s worth it. Thanks in advance. Tom

There is a solution for those that already have the factory sat-nav, and that is to replace the factory headunit with a non-sat-nav version. This way you have the controls that you'd otherwise loose and then can add on the Android screen

Hi
Is it possible to install it in a car that does not have the factory sat-nav? Would that just include cutting?
