What a cool topic and you are truly pioneers.
Its a very difficult decision. To bad to lose the outside temp as well. I love that old school little panel on top with all the data but I understand that room has to be made for a big screen.
Does anyone have a picture or a little movie how it looks from a little distance? Lets say from standing outside and then zooming in. Just to get a nice impression how the overall look will be. Must look very very cool and modern.
Sorry for not getting back to you guys. Ended up traveling a lot and not having any time to mess with the car. Now I have been using it for a few weeks. Here are some of my opinions:
Unit is China and it shows, but I also expected this. Software can get a little wonky at times but it always sorts itself out after turning off and on. Happens once every two weeks.
I wish the unit was more secure near the top. It doesn't sit as securely as I would like.
The color matches the factory trim perfectly.
I'm using Android Auto using an app called Headunit reloaded on the app store. It works flawlessly. I use this about 90% of the time.
I also have a flash drive with a ton of music videos and it's cool af to watch when I have passengers in the car.
The antenna adapter didn't work so I have no radio.
Overall I like it about 70%, I would say it's worth the price I paid ($370 shipped with camera). Now the long term test is to see how long it will last. It does scare me that all my climate is controlled through this china unit. The day this thing ****s out and it's 105 degrees outside, is the the day I put my OE stuff back it. Until then it's staying in the car.
Sorry for the delay. There is a bit of wiring connecting
This is what comes with the package. The yellow Male rca plugs into the rca on the harness. There is a wire that comes from the yellow Male rca that connects to the back wire on the harness.
Run the wire (I did mine on the passenger side) Ran the cord through the rear seat and then pulled down the rear armrest and removed the frame. Enlarged the hole slightly and ran through the carpeting in trunk. With the wire clamps clamped to reverse lights taped and was done. Very easy. More time is spent taking panels off and on and running wire.
End result of camera. The camera has a setting of the distance bars and the unit has one. Figure it wouldnt hurt to have both.
Where did you mount the camera? Mine is supposed to be here Monday, then I can finish the android install.

The cooling is a concern...here in TX it is a scary thought.
My a\c change filter light came on...but cannot figure out how to turn it off since holding power button does nothing!
Yes in order for antenna adapter to work, you have to connect in the trunk...then run wire to head unit. It was more than I was willing to do. Possibly may get an aftermarket adapter that connects to windshield.
