If you have the 4g antenna then surely you will have a sim slot. It is located at the rear of the screen right at the top.

I think it's the 2nd generation screen which has Android 9.0.

4x4 shop is selling it....although that NX has the 360 degree exterior camera view, this doesn't.

First 7:55 is the instillation but after that you can see what it looks like. Much quicker, 4GB ram, 64GB rom

3. You can buy a matte screen protector - and cut.
yes black speaker is connected. It works with Google Maps. I think I need to turn in the AUX? I’m not sure where I find that on the menu.

im looking at 10.25 screen protectors for other cars and have inquired about overall size to see if it will fit.

the antenna is the little flat antenna right? I don’t recall seeing a SIM card slot but I’ll look again.

sadly I’m in the 480 and not 720 as advertised. Also on Android 7.1 and not 9 as advertised. I’m going to see if I can get a partial refund lol

glad i decided not to order this unit given the amount of problems that some people are having and the deceptive and inaccurate marketing of the product.

Still worth the money regardless. I personally only recommend ordering from 4x4Shop due to actual support and accurate info.

Agreed. It’s still worth it the money I spent. If I was broke or struggling then it’s definitely not worth the money lol. The phone mirroring, apps, navigation and other features make it worth it. Now I’m just exploring and trying to check out all the settings.

and to be fair, I purchased it knowing the advertising could be off. So now let’s see if I can get a partial refund.

overall I like it. If 4x4 had it for my car I would have purchased from them at a higher price. I don’t mind paying a higher price considering the customer support they’ve provided you guys.

Lol I just noticed this thread is the 2nd most viewed normal thread on the 3IS side, which tells me many people hate the OEM system and want Apple CarPlay and/or Android Auto and the other goodies of these android screens haha. It really is a billion times better than the stock infotainment system not to mention the tiny screen if you don't have the stock bigger screen.

Same on the RC side, a lotta guys want this but only a handful have done it but no one has shared their results. I just posted my results for everyone.

Basically I'm telling everyone expect Android 7 and 1280x480, if you can accept that, you'll be fine and happy.

I have the wireless dongle, I use the APK app it said to install but I installed a few other apps from the Play Store to try out.

I tried this one out and it worked well. I'm still going to try a few more out.

Alright about to purchase this, is express shipping worth the $80? This is the unit from 4x4shop. How long does it usually ship to the states? (California)
