OEM Sat Nav upgrade
Earlier this month I started the car the sat nav popped up and fell apart , it now also won’t stay up after putting it back together I think there’s some damage to the mechanism , anyway I only ever used it in the last 10 years to adjust the dsp on aux in
After spending hours on the forum reading posts and looking around the web I have come to the conclusion that I need to keep the carver dsp amp and own head unit getting rid of the screen and go aux in with a new android CarPlay unit. I want to be able to also access the old screen for dsp and on board computer
This unit in the video https://youtu.be/1XTqrzaR5j0 does everything I want it to however they don’t reply to posts it seems looking at guys previous questions does anyone know what this is and where to get it ? Specifically the view where is displays the old screens functionality , very useful for dsp adjustment ! Probably keeps it as oem as possible
Many thanks

interesting video, i have a PX6 android screen setup but it can't do split screen. Guess it depends on spec and supplier. I also have dsp and can be controled via ibus adapter https://shop.ibus-app.de/en/ you have to buy dsp licence as extra.

Besides the physical fitment and powering up of small replacement screen to fit inside the OEM nav unit with all original open/close electronics, what else is there to consider? Would disconnecting the OEM nav throw up a load of errors?
There's a conversion business for somebody here, that could make them a lot of money.

No errors with the OEM satnav, during the retrofitting I had that more disconnected than connected

I retrofitted the OEM satnav on two different cars, so 100% OEM only. When I get the next Z, I want to use something like this.

the launcher3 software allows ithe skin to be either ID5, ID6, ID7, NBT, EVO themes but i also have idrive launcher 2.0 which sort of allows steering wheel controls to fully work https://idrive.ibus-app.de/index_en.html
