Please upload a video how to wrap with suede the door panel step by step 🙏🏾
I did already ua-cam.com/video/6eS1GxCl8do/v-deo.html thanks for the comment ⭐️
I have the same unit on my 2006 IS, every time I make a phone call through the unit's car play, the other person who i'm talking with always have difficulties in understanding me due to the poor quality of the car's mic...The thing is, when I connect my phone with the bluetooth the opposite happens: other persons listen to me much better but I listen them worse! Did you also notice the same problem??? By the way, after install my unit, from that day on, i could no more open my car's trunk with the key button, only with the physical key... :( Any tips to fix this?! Thanks a ton!
@@MrTonys For the audio: Did you install the external mic? Factory mic on the screen is close to useless. I installed my wired mic and placed it in a place close to driver head location. Also for iPhone users, if your phone has voice isolation on/off sometimes it helps for the person on the other side hear clean audio. For the trunk: There is no connection of trunk switch with the aftermarket carplay. I suspect your trunk button lock from glovebox needs to be deactivated. Its hidden in the glovebox. If not this, then maybe test the electric connection first by opening the trunk from inside the car (button near gas tank switch), if it works, then check your key, if it doenst work, there’s electric connection issue to the trunk. Good luck 👍🏻
@@buildfixcars In first place, I installed the external mic and almost nobody could understand me, then I ordered the electric autoshop doing the same as this video: ua-cam.com/video/tBSAQ2l7JLk/v-deo.htmlsi=cFvMAzz-QxF9hlh0 and the results weren't too great... Yeah, i'm iphone user and I´m gonna test with voice isolation mode on, thanks a ton for the tip!!! the trunk doesn't open by pressing the inside button, the outside button (near the back plate of the car), I've already activate/deactivate the glove box button a lot of times and nothing!!! When the glove button is activated I can ear the some tic-tac sound whenever I press the inside trunk's button... The car was 3 months in the electric autohop and they didn't manage to fix it... what a nightmare... Thanks anyway Mate, cheers!!
Can I get a link to where I bought the roll at
@@timmydaboss5419 mightytechstore.com
Will this work if you have the Mark Levinson audio system?
Where did you get the radio?
What year car is it?
Mine is 2007
@@buildfixcars I’m getting a 2010 very soon and I was looking into these on Ali express I believe, where did you get yours
Mine is from mightytechstore, you can check the aliexpress ones too if you trust your supplier
I plan to buy from your link, how much will i need for all 4 doors and the dash just like how your car is? Will the 40 x 140cm be enough or will i need more?
One unit of 40 x 140 cm is enough for the dashboard, another unit should easily cover all four doors.
hey, where are u located sir‽
Stop saying “go ahead”
Noted :)
My fan or heating controls don’t work at all. Everything is plugged in fine. Canbus updated. The left panel where all the air control is at doesn’t respond or do anything. Stuck bro
Just responded to your text on IG 🫡
Is this tutorial the exact same for a 2012 model? I saw something about the 2010+ having a different wiring harness
Yes, exactly the same, the product link in the description has an image for instructions on your OEM model if it came with navigation and backup camera from factory.
11:15 is your air vent wrapped? Whats the carbon piece on the vent
Its a carbon sticker wrap. Some people like it, I personally dont like how it turned out
Hey man, i wanted to ask if you know of any carplay screen for the 2010-2012 variant of the car with the navigation package? because this one does not support it
I think you can use a Vline GROM module to wire it and show CarPlay on your OEM screen
today, i go out to buy food. i guess i scrape my nail against my door and then theres sticky black stuff under my nail its annoying😭😭😭
Thanks for that great job 👏!! Is that black color or charcoal bro?
Thanks, it’s black suede
Hernandez Kimberly Johnson Richard Hernandez Elizabeth
I installed mine thanks for the video tutorials and all the help. Very detailed compared to others. Top man 👍
Which configuration did you order?
TS18 2GB 16GB My main purpose is CarPlay, so this base model works very well regardless.
Will it fit in an IS F?
I am inclined towards not, but you can check the reference images in the product link in description, they show which OEM models can work.
Saw tiktoks of people does it with torch and big flames, came right now to a shop that doesn’t use torch, should I be scared?
Nope, heatguns are the common practice.. but any source of heat works i guess
Can you watch movies while driving?
Should you?
@buildfixcars simply Yes. Also, yes, because passengers can watch something. On the stock head unit, it disables playback when over a certain speed. Does this after-market head unit do anything similar?
Does your hazard work? I have this same radio( same style) and mine doesn't work everything has been installed correctly from what I've seen and I've had no luck with them working
Should work, could be a faulty wire not sending signal.
I though that the oem camera did not work, is it only a thing with this head unit or is it universal in android head units? Ive been inspired by your diy dashboard upholstery and im gonna try it myself, wish me luck :) ty for the awesome vids
@@mariomoura6467 i can only speak for this head unit and OEM camera works with specific setting. If I had an OEM camera, i would toss it lol the aftermarket cameras are super HD… thank you for watching 🫡
Fair play. The colour difference is worse than the gap imo
Thanks after seeing your installation video I ordered it. I’ll let you know once I try fit it.
can you install a amp and subwoofer to this unit?
Definitely. Currently, I have set up my amplifier switch to the cooling fan in the head unit. For example, if I turn on or off my amplifier, it turns on the cooling fan on the head unit.
@@buildfixcars cheers dude i just removed my sub and amp from my 2013 mazda 6 so will be grabbing one of these head units and putting the sub in with it :)
I have the same unit installed in my 08 2is but you hear a distortion sound in the back like distorted radio every time you play something. Any tips on how to fix that? Cheers.
Oh yeah, I know what you’re talking about, you just have to connect the OEM audio cable ONLY with the aftermarket screen after removing it from the OEM CD player. If you check out the other installation tutorial on my channel, at the last half, I actually had the same issue and I showed how I fixed it. In case you have already done the same above, then lower your OEM CD player volume to only 50 to 52%.
@@buildfixcars thanks mate I’ll give it a crack 🙏🏼
great job, you got my attention and my subscription
@@philiplee1216 thank you Philip 🫡
Windows only go down not up? Even individual controllers
What about the airbag
@@mik4mik4 14:15 I know what you mean, already took care of it.
It looks breathtaking man, congrats. I also owe an IS and i would like to do this also but I'm not sure if I will be able to do it well. Honestly, do you think everyone can do this by himself or i'ts better to pay a professional service for this? Maybe it will be nice to start with the doors to learn how works it? Thank you man
Thanks for this feedback i love it! I did exactly the same, I’m a first timer myself and tried out on the door panels first, (tutorial for door panels is posted on this channel already), then i did it myself on the dash. You’ll do great buddy!
@@buildfixcars Thanks man! I will try it for sure. Greetings from Spain!
can you please clean up your wiring and use electrical tape and clean it up .
@@hgubary Ideally I should, thanks for the advice!
Can you do a quick review on this head unit ? I want to buy the same one after watching your videos. Thanks
I’ll post a detailed review this week🫡 I do have a complete installation tutorial with features review on my channel for the head unit
UPDATE: Just posted an in depth review on your request! Hope you enjoy it 🫡
Quick question i just installed this but for some reason i cant seem to get audio from any of the usb ports and also looked everywhere for the apple car play and cant find it either, am i missing something?
@@Dxaiver08 ZLINK is the inbuilt app you’ll find for the CarPlay. Regarding audio, you need to check your cables. Usb cables is only to read or access data, not AUX. You can use USB cables for dashcam or flash drive to play audio video. DM me on my instagram if you have any questions
Got your comment reply under another vid… mine doesn’t have WiFi but I’ll see if the settings options you showed are available. My hazards also don’t work… I might have to use the obd wire (which I heard mixed feedback about) … and/or may have reversed the only, single male/fem plugs that match two plugs that I hear is possible. (I just puzzle pieced whatever matched first, intuitively like it seems most do… but since mine is ML and multi plugs were left unused I’m hoping that is the reason).
looks pretty good! I'd an update video to see how it holds up over time.
*id love to see an update
Will do
Dude that looks amazing! Id probably go crazy due to attentive to detail id have to be rather than 'slap it on.' Good job. Ill probably do this to my maxima 12'
@@Legend7 glad you liked it. It took me over eight or nine hours so I guess it’s not technically just slap on it haha cheers
Hi bro, my car has the big factory radio however, it uses fiber optic. Can this radio work with my car? My oem screen is with the button the same level as the frame
Whats your model and year?
@@buildfixcars is350 f sport 2011
@@chopboss7202 should work, there is the product link in description, they have an image reference that shows which models will and will not work
@@buildfixcarsi just checked, it’s saying it can’t work for mine. Damn
Ah bummer, but the F sport model is pretty good, upgraded ecu, suspension etc., great car bud!
You wild if you think an airbag can pop out thru that dash and it wouldn't be able to break thru that vinyl suede lol.. and there was a carpeted dash before that's like 50x stronger than that vinyl lol was that cut?
14:15 I know what you mean, already took care of it.
Dashboard? Lexus wouldn’t recall the engine in my 2014 GX460 with coolant valley seal flaw that is their fault! Lexus getting bad with taking care of their customers
I think if the defect was under major recalls, you would be serviced for free. Hope you got it fixed after all!
@@buildfixcars unfortunately they wouldn’t 😭
Was waiting for this😊
Hope you try it 💯⭐️
The best one ive seen so far even your doors look mint i tried my doors but the material i used wasnt the greatest nice work man
Glad you liked it!
came out very good 🤙🏼
Great video
great video, i took my lexus to get tinted and the shop ruined my dashboard so ive been looking for a good way to cover up. Altho idk if I want to use alcantara.
Either way, you have to find a solution haha
@@buildfixcars well i dont anymore because it just got totaled...
Hope you’re safe !
Looks good 💯
Amazing💯
