Hi, yes the cables that come with the screen do plug into the back of the head unit so I’m guessing it needs to be in place. The old unit turns on and you can view and use all the modes but there is just no sound as the android unit takes over using the aux input.

Hi wookster, thanks for posting, considering getting the screen to replace my failed pop up one.

Is it literally plug and play, just connect to the head unit like the current screen does from factory?

I have the radio unit that comes with the nav, so thinking of getting the business unit like you have in yours to be on the safe side.

Thanks!

Yep just plug and play, comes with the correct wiring harness and works straight away without any mods, apart from getting it to fit and sit just right in the dash
