So let me get this right. The picture rcJten showed us was the internal view after the glove compartment is removed. Based on the red arrow position, are you saying you mounted the GPS antenna below the "metal cross pipe" which is still underneath the dash? You have good GPS signal from that location?

Mods, delete this if inappropriate.
My Vline2 is on the Marketplace. It does Andriod, Andriod Auto and Car Play. IMO it has a much better implementation, with full touch pad support, and comes from an American company that provides regular over-the-air updates. If you're apprehensive about the gamble with the Chinese screens, it's an option (albeit using the factory screen).

if you want to gamble with your car, i mean, whatever, as it's your car. if i still own my car out of the bumper-to-bumper warranty period which ends mid-year 2026, then i'll consider some aftermarket unit and have it installed professionally, although i doubt i'll keep the car past the 2026 date at which the warranty expires. the factory system as released in 2018 with the larger display screen and split layout is perfectly fine for a commuter car. i use this car to drive to work and back so apple carplay, while a nice addition, isn't something that i deem necessary. with that necessity that some individuals feel is worth the risk, is, well, an inherent risk. take it, as again, it's your car, not mine.

actually, no, that's not at all correct and i'll add your cursory 'lol' to the end of my sentences as well lol. i thought it through, went through the pages and pages of people who are having hardware, software, and overheating issues and decided that it was not worth voiding factory warranty over. i was on the fence much earlier this year when i purchased the vehicle, but i'm no longer. also, flash, your denigrating remarks aren't at all needed, so stop them.

believe me, i am far from clueless.
do i think others might be a bit naïve when attempting to install this device and then running into problems? of course. do i care that they do so? not one damn bit.
and flash, you can continue your work in the military. is the university of phoenix the next step for you? or are you not going to pursue higher educational opportunities that will expand your higher-order thinking skills?

no, buddy ol' pal. i just don't feel the need to do it. i do not want to remove the factory screen which i've deemed sufficient for my needs after weighing the pros and cons of the device at hand.
