  • Share my experience of replacing the outdated navigation with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. I did a lot of research and purchased an aftermarket device but it does not provide any manual about installation. I had to figure it out by myself. (I did contact the seller a lot of times.) That's why I made this video. Hope it helps. Product links:

    Firstly, this video is great. Thanks for sharing!
    For background, I retrofit a Carpuride W701 unit to take place of my navigation screen on my 2005 Acura TL (It looks 100% OEM). I made the appropriate extension cords and my stock navigatio screen now sits in my glove box in case I ever need it. I'm in the process of doing this for my wife's 2007 Acura RDX as well.
    I have a 2013 Acura RDX and have been flirting with the idea of purchasing a Grom VLine2, because I couldn't find a clean looking way to install a Carpurride unit. I really like the touch screen abilities and was worried I'd lose that with the VLine2. However, your video came across my account and this looks like the perfect solution.

    Hi Vince - Could you help!! After watching your video I purchased the same setup for my Acura MDX 2011 from the same seller. My car had the advance tech package so I had to use the TLX harness that they provided. Everything is working except for the backup camera. I've checked the wiring multiple times and I've also installed backup camera before so it's not something new. The LED lights are power by the license plate lights, and the camera is power by the reverse lights. Somehow I'm not able to see any camera image when I put my car in reverse. Infact when the car is put in reverse nothing happens to the android screen. I would still expect a blank screen if the camera is not working when the car is in reverse.
    The seller said I need to connect the trigger wire (3rd cable) on the harness. I've tried that too. No reverse camera is triggered. You had mentioned in your video that had they sent your unit with the 360 camera software and that you had to update the software for the reverse camera to work. Could you please tell me how I can tell if that is the case for my unit. As of right now I can't seem to figure it out. Would you be able to provide me with the software that they sent you as Im desperate for a solution. Is there something in the setup that I missed?
    Thanks
    BTW - it appears that you are from Somerset. I grew up in Somerset and lived there since the 90s. Our family all went to Somerset, Tyee and Newport school. Thanks again for all your help.

    • @VinceTechLife
      @VinceTechLife  9 месяцев назад

      If the unit is installed with 360 camera software, it will always show a 360 view (for you to check the surrounding) when you start the car engine, no matter whether there are 360 cameras installed. If there is no 360 camera installed, the 360 view is all black. I believe you don't see this 360 view. It means you have the regular system with the backup camera.
      Since you have a different harness, my wiring may not be working for you. But I assume the cable at 4:11 is the same. Double check your wiring. Use a multimeter to verify the positive wire of backup camera. I installed standalone backup cameras too. I recall the standalone backup camera only needs the red wire (positive), but the backup camera for this unit needs both red wire and black wire (negative).
      About 2 months ago, my unit had issues with the backup camera. When I put the car in reverse, nothing happened. Manually restarting the unit solved the issue sometimes. But later this issue disappeared. If the wiring is correct, you can try manually restarting the unit. Swipe down on the status bar at the top right of the screen.

    Do you have the ability to customize the boot logo? Rather than have the traditional Android logo, I'd like to know if Navitech will allow users to change this to an Acura logo. I've done this with my Carpuride units, so I'm just curious.

      I don't recall I saw the option to replace the Android logo. As far as I know, Google requires each Android device shows Android logo when it boots up. With about 50% chance, the unit is in Sleep mode. It turns on instantly without showing Android logo. You can click any link in the video description and ask the seller.

      I had the similar problem. But it was not caused by OBD cable. It was caused by the unit. By default, the unit sleeps when car is off. It still consumes a little electricity.

      I also have installed this CarPlay device. When the car is turned off, the static current is the same as when the device is not installed, which is 25 mA
      If the static current exceeds 100 milliamps when the car is idle, it's likely that your MDX has a battery drain issue, which is a common problem with Acura MDX(or other model). The cause of the issue is that the Bluetooth module tends to drain over time, as was the case with my 2008 MDX. I didn't notice the battery drain problem before because I could use the car normally every day. After installing the CarPlay device, I wanted to test its impact on the static current and found that the static current of my MDX was 0.25 to 2 amps. Initially, I thought it was a CarPlay issue, but later, I searched online and found that the Bluetooth module drain is a common problem in Acura MDXs that have been used for some time. Removing the module eliminates the drain. The static current dropped from 0.25-2 amps to the normal value of 0.025 amps(25 mA). You can find specific solutions by searching "MDX battery drain" on RUclips.
