    Just a heads up to anyone installing this. If you follow the directions it’s going to tell you to get the sound from your CarPlay to select AV Input on your sync stereo. In my case the audio quality on AV was horrible.
    All you need to do is go to the setup screen then system. Turn on Use Cars BT Channel, and now the CarPlay audio will play through your phones regular BT connection to SYNC.

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  2 месяца назад +1

      Great tip
      I played with the audio levels in settings and got the line in sound dialed in
      The biggest problem is the dual equalizer. You need to switch one of the two to flat profile.

      Hi, any chance you talk me through this . I have mine installed but couldn't connect the aux in as my sync 2 for whatever reason is not equipped with one so at the minute I'm not getting any sound through when using AA . Where do you find a setting to tell the unit to use cars BT instead of line in / aux in ? Many thanks!

      @@filipeat_work6350 I'm happy with it. Sometimes it can get "confused" whether to connect to BT audio or CP audio, but it's easy to work through. Considering the unit was just over $200 (new), but even a used Sync3 adapter conversion is about $800. I can deal with the inconvenience of the audio selection.

    If you are streaming spotify or using the navigation in android auto and switch back to the factory sync 2 system to turn on the heated steering wheel or something like that does it cut the music or your navigation? Or could you still hear it playing while in the factory sync 2.
    Also I was curious if you found a setting to get it to start in android auto automatically like you had mentioned in your video.
    And thank you for the vid it was very helpful.

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Месяц назад

      Best way to diagnose is to have an a meter on the battery and pull radio fuse to see if current drain drops.
      Short answer is this should not cause any higher battery draw as its connected through the factory radio circuit.
      Cheap man's test would be to pull the radio fuse and wait a day, see if battery dies anyway.
