I would expect at least a -10c drop in temps. In response to the question above about the high CPU temps causing issues, my unit froze and rebooted on at least three of the first 5-6 drives I took with the unit. Since installing the heat sink and fan, I have not had any reboots.
I am considering another mod for this unit. My Vline had a 24bit DAC, where as this unit has a 16bit, and to my ears it sounds as though it has much less range. I am looking at the Firefly Black USB DAC. This DAC "should" also alleviate any issues with ground noise and or popping.

Since changing my settings, I haven’t had any crashing or rebooting issues.

I had already spliced stereo mini plugs into the audio out cable of the screen to install a ground loop isolator. I plan to hook into the mini plug I installed in the harness and disconnect the side going to the screen. You could run the cable into the aux port of the center console, but I would still cut the screen's audio connection to avoid any noise.

There is a gap in the upper left area between the screen and dash where you can tuck the mic back there with it sticking out a little. It's perfect look and functionality wise.

Anyone purchased an extension USB cable for the center console? How do you run the cable inside the storage under the armrest? Do you simply drill a large hole? I am looking to see any smarter way to do it.

Drove around today. Got some temperature readings.
When my unit was crashing due to me changing settings, temps were 119-130 degrees C.
When I changed back the settings my temps were high 90 degrees C.
After installing the fan, my temps were around mid 80s degrees C. Often with temps around 81-82 degrees C.

I thought these screens would be able to handle some heat like the original one. If I start having heating issues that they can't fix with software I wont be happy. Fortunately it never really gets to them temps for more than a few days a year over here so shouldn't have any issues

I do a 60 mile daily commute to work. I have 3 apps running at once (Google maps, tom-tom speed camera app and spotify) without any issues with heating

I have not been willing to spend the $20 to confirm this theory by consulting the TIS system wiring diagrams, but I have been wondering if there's any difference between the IS and RC stereo wiring harnesses? The touch pad integration is total garbage on the RC units, so if that's the only thing that wouldn't work using the new IS Chinese screen, then I wish I would have purchased it instead 😒 The can-bus communication is the same between models.

The model for the RC350 seems to be the only units with temp issues. I believe the SOC on the IS unit is from a different manufacturer.

Hi folks
Has anyone noticed inferior image quality in this unit's OEM main menu compared to the factory unit?
I just got mine installed today and the OEM side and backup camera signal don't look that great.The android side is beautiful though.
