Yeah great video indeed, well done. Do you think it would be possible to mod the screen into an existing pop up and down one rather than replace it?
You can add me to your list of wanting to buy one as well asap.
Thanks

Thank you, this is the sort of thing I like to do, some are into mechanical mods, engine, suspension and the like but that's not my bag (well I can but I don't!) so I put my time into this.IRD wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 2:26 pmVery impressive video Dave. I really enjoyed watching it on a very wet afternoon in Lincoln. You made the process look easy and straightforward. Frightened me to death.

Arr yes Lincoln, funny that as I was in Lincoln this afternoon, it was nice later alas driving into the sun with wet roads wasn't very pleasant You're not a million miles away (about 30 actually) if you decide to have one then give me a shout and I'll see what I can do in fitting it for you oh yeah, group buy coming shortly on these units

Nothing is impossible, fitting a screen into the original pop-up mechanism was my original idea when I first contacted the manufactures, whether it would fit and still be able to open though is a different matter.

Hi Dave. Yes I am keen to have one of these units especially with the possibility of having it fitted properly. I would certainly take you up on that if at all possible. My car is a 2010 3.5is so not sure whether there would be any difference in spec. Looking forward to hearing from you about the group purchase.AnubisZed wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 10:42 pmThank you, this is the sort of thing I like to do, some are into mechanical mods, engine, suspension and the like but that's not my bag (well I can but I don't!) so I put my time into this.IRD wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 2:26 pmVery impressive video Dave.

Evening all, just a quick bump.
6 places are already gone just 4 to go for the initial first 10 required. The sooner I get these first 10 the sooner everyone gets theirs, but I'm still very impressed at attaining 6 in the first 3 days of it going live.
Thank you

How is audio quality on these units? I have read around online and lots of people say it is not very good compared to stock, does this hold true?

It's as good as any other AUX input as that is how the audio gets from the screen to your original headunit. Personally I'm running a later spec headunit and have added in tweeters making it an 8 speaker set up, and for me the audio is spot on, especially considering I have the roof down as often as I can.
So as far as amplification is concerned then it'll be as good as it is now if you plugged your phone into the AUX port.
Hope that helps.

Would have liked to join in on the group buy, but I'm from Sweden. I've seen people commenting on the Youtube video about buying from Aliexpress. What would be the best place to order this from? Is it http://www.a-carnavi.com/pd.jsp?id=91&f ... #_jcp=3_57 ? What would be a decent price to expect for just one unit order? (I ask as they are not listing any price.)

Dave, do note that there is one missing step in the guide. The keyfob plug cover removal and screw behind it. Almost broke off one of my dashboards holding points because of it.AnubisZed wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2019 11:24 pm The How-To video is now on-line, sorry but it is 1 hour and 5 minutes long, but then there is a lot of detail.

(The index finger is pointing at where the screw that needs to be removed was.)

LHD and RHD cars are slightly different. I dont think the RHD models have this screw.
