Great review! I’m purchasing a Promaster next weekend and was looking into adding Apple Carplay without replacing my entire head unit and this was so helpful. Thank you!
Nice video Mike.👍 With the heat you have coming through the windscreen/shield I can't see that adhesive pad lasting that long. Whilst you had the deck out I'd have been tempted to pop a couple of small self-tapping screws through the mount and into the removable 'clipboard' panel? Also, as the other commenter has asked, whats the link to your other channel?
I’m curious to see how long the adhesive lasts this summer and will update everyone if it fails. Here is the link to my home improvement channel: youtube.com/@houseonthemend?si=WFNElfeUQbHFsVxT
it comes with a 64GB card preinstalleg. but the free capasity is what u see there on the screen. AND you have not moved the slider on the menues to reveal the other options... Therefor you get the 4K lower down in the menu. Allso the "rolling shutter is not the distortion but the lenze(fisheye effect) that you get.
sorry for a dumb question since I am totally new to this - it seems to me that if you want to use this for navigation, you need your phone to be running the entire time and the google maps is running on your phone as well. So, you would need the phone to be powered as well. Am I missing something? Thanks v much for your excellent and detailed video
great review thamks! Is this device deatchable? I mean i wish not leave it in the cabin when the weather is hot, so can i detach/attach by a single click or slide?
can you get the Audio when on Maps to play through Bluetooth and through the car's speakers as opposed to out of the speakers of the display? If so, how can it be done?
@ thanks for the speedy reply and awesome video! I tried that and it still sounds off whenever I touch on any icon. I really find it weird being that everything else is working flawlessly? I can certainly live with it, but would still like to have a say in that arena.
I figured it out. There are 2 areas for the touch beeps. Assistive touch and the tip sound which is where I needed to toggle off for no more touch sounds.
@ My W903 front camera makes images (like cars in the parking lot) look much wider and distorted than they should be. Is there any settings that can help fix this!
@@wafflesquare in all fairness- it’s hard to find because I found very few videos on wiring any rear camera to the brake lights, and I only found one that got into more detail than just saying to attach it to your brake lights and actually showed how to find the brake light wire, but didn’t show the connection when done.
Bro u did a great job im sold! Other reviewers really didn’t do it for me. Great review bro, thank you!
You are very welcome. I’m so glad it was helpful.

Awesome, awesome video. Well done. You covered everything !

I just got my unit too. Thank you for the info.
You are very welcome. I’m so glad it was helpful.
It was 4k,you just didn't use the slider bar several times, but awesome video
Thank you!

Correct. All CarPlay stereos and displays use a smartphone for data.
VLC may be a good option for the dashcam videos if you just need to download and watch them.
thanks, you took some of the pain out of a new install 🙂
You are very welcome. I’m so glad it was helpful!
great review thamks!

Yes you can use the detachable suction cup mount or detach the monitor from either mount.
Excellent video, please, I would like to know how to install the rear camera🎉 greetings from New York🎉
Excellent review… Thanks!
You are very welcome.
how wide is the mounting base that you used? (front to back)
A little more than 2.5 inches
can you get the Audio when on Maps to play through Bluetooth and through the car's speakers as opposed to out of the speakers of the display? If so, how can it be done?
Maps audio only plays through the speakers on the monitor for me.
You made getting the video files from the camera harder than it had to be... You have to clear the connections to use the app. It works seamlessly
That should be explained in the manual
My “Assistive touch” doesn’t turn off even when I toggle it to off, it still beeps when I pick things? Any ideas?
I’ve never had that issue so maybe try a factory reset.

Does answering a call come through the car speakers?
Yes it does
@@wafflesquare Thanks for the reply. Does it work for you using BT or Aux cable or either one?
@2old4allthis I only use the Bluetooth functionality which works great.
Great video! Imo this is a better solution~
I agree!
You have another yt channel? Please link 😃

Way does the screen go blank after a few minutes is there a setting i don't see
My screen does not go blank unless power is disconnected. I would check your settings.
Great video
Thank you so much!
Oh darn… I was hoping you would show the brake light part… I don’t care about the clean install on the dash so much. But thanks for the vid.
Brake light part?
@@wafflesquare how to wire the rear camera to the brake light so that when going in reverse it switches to parking assist with the grid automatically
I wish I had included that aspect as well. Due to the complexity (and time required to record & edit), it definitely needs its own video.
