reviewing honda navi digital dash i found on aliexpress and habe been waiting mulitple months to review. link to dash: www.aliexpress... link to diagram i used : ae01.alicdn.co...
HEY MAN!!!!we talked in the navi reddit forums. so cool to see you in my youtube reccommened.....THIS DUDE IS A CHAMP. hes a blessing to the navi community
It’s weird having so many people know who I am from being just a random teenager with a Navi 😂 but thank you sm. I try my best to help literally anyone on here, Reddit or Facebook.
Hey something’s not right with mine, it’s not showing in km/h it just sits at 0 and it’s not showing the highbeam icon, also I don’t think the fuel gauge is accurate. Anything you could think of? I de-pinned and followed everything exact to the T
@@PAXWITDASAX did you make sure the connector was orientated the correct way? check you speed cable as the wiring doesn't handle the speed for sure. if everything's good you might've just got unlucky sadly with the unit. message me on reddit, ill gladly try to help, same user name and i believe i already commented on your post there.
Cool little upgrade , can't wait for a review latter to see if everything working properly . The led I installed is a huge benefit in night time vision and day time safety to be seen on the road . I live outside Ottawa and still have not seen a nother Navi yet . I did purchase a Honda XR150L as I find rual living the Navi did it's job well but the XR150L is just a little faster and therefore a safer driving speed in the country. That said the Navi is bar none the best the cheapest the most practical fun bike for the city , especially stop and go traffic because of the CVT . You did not mention but I presume you did the AC to DC conversion as I saw you turn the key and you had dash and a headlight .
Yes I did ac to dc, I now have a led light too which I did far after the video was uploaded. Also hopefully it works out. I never got any solid tests between oem and not and with rollers or sliders and what weights but I personally get better top speed with this then a s23 variator by a good amount. I’m also from canada in Alberta. I agree the price for the Navi is amazing especially to easily get a license. Check out my other videos btw I got a lot more too.
THERE IS AN ODOMETER!!!!! idk if i updated in these comments or not but it does. it has a odometer and a trip meter!!!!! btw join the subreddit and navi performance group im super super active in there helping literally everyone i can. i also do a lot more frequent updates there since its easier then a whole video.
Thank you! Hopefully soon there’s a mph version, I talked to the Chinese seller/manufacturer and they said they’re working on it and they gave me a time roughly but I forget it rn. Only issue rn for the dash is it’s hard to see in the day, hopefully that gets fixed too. Also for the headlight I’m unsure, it was found at an Amazon return store for like $2 so I decided why not. Any led headlight that I believe is h4 should work. (Double check if it is a h4 bulb in the Navi I could be wrong)
Personally i like the navis stock gauge, with a better bulb it makes illumination a lot better. The only bike i would ever replace the tachometer for is the Monkey, becuase that thing is so small and it has no rev indicator. Not a huge deal imo, but having something rev indicator and a bigger hud in general makes the experience a lot smoother.
That’s fair, I just thought I’d try it out and modernize the Navi a bit more yk. Also no videos done on it so wanted to be the first to bring new content to the Navi in forever.
Yes there’s that metal cable that screws into the dash. That’s for the speed. Make sure that’s all connected right and properly. It’s the thing I’m installing at 16:30. Make sure the cable is seated in properly.
I understand that the previous mileage is not preserved (because the original mileage was measured by the analog tracker), but does it accurately record the km travelled after installation continuously or only per trip and then resets after turning off the bike?
I am not sure, couldn’t drive it other then a few meters since there’s still tons of snow outside where I live but it might be the trip style sadly, people are working on editing the eeprom to get mph working and a few other things so in the future it migh be possible to change possibly.
Kmh rn, I recently was sponsored by the seller of this dash with a newer version (I made a video on recently) and I asked if they’re making a mph version and they said yes. I’ll probably make a post on the Honda Navi subreddit when they do.
I sadly no longer have a GoPro, I was borrowing it from my friend but in the future I might be able too. Also haven’t rode my Navi in a bit because it keeps drying then snowing and going from +15c to -10c so I’m unsure rn on the neutral light.
Check your connector for the headlight. I’ve never seen anyone with this issue before and I just finished doing another newer dash mod recently without issue. Also make sure the bulb isn’t burnt or something too.
I can try and help you more if you contact me on Reddit, my username is u/silasanderson2. Send me a message and pics of your wiring and I’ll try and help as much as possible.
Sadly no, the seller keeps saying they’re making a mph version but they’re constantly delaying it so I sadly can’t tell you when there will be a mph version.
no sadly, i did contact the manufacturer and they did give me a date when they'd hope to start selling a mph version. i don't remember when it was exactly but it was mid to late summer i believe NavX is also working on trying to figure out how to make it use MPH which he's done some eprom related things to make it work or at least possibly make it work, theyre also working on a ton of other navi related things like bigger fuel tank too.
It won’t remember mileage as the mileage is stored mechanically in the old dash with that “roll over” type of system if that makes sense and not stored electronically as a value somewhere. And I’m the day time it does get hard to see at least the little I rolled it out on my driveway because of the snow. People might be working on solutions for it though.
Ya it’s kmh only so far. In a week or two I’m making a pt2 or second video on a new dash I found. I think this one in the video looks better but the one I’m going to make my new video on should be insanely visible during the day. It uses the same type of screen that my tachometer in the video uses. You do have to install a magnetic speed sensor but it doesn’t seem hard to do, the backlight color you can also change and everything on the new dash and possibly show your rpm’s on it which skips needing to get a tach!!!!

Bro thank you I been looking for a video like this for a minute
no problem, sadly had so many delays on this video it took a extra 3-4 days almost

Glad you did so I don’t have to…. No odometer and kilometers only is a deal breaker no matter how inexpensive they are. Thanks for the video.

That looks awesome. Great video. I'm hoping they have an mph variation as opposed to the kph.
Tour headlight looks bright. Which bulb do you have?

There is a way to get the neutral light and engine light off of the display it's a set of wires that you've got plugged in
Thanks!!!! I was going to look into it but haven’t had much of a chance lately.

Does it show MPH? Or KM
Kmh rn, I recently was sponsored by the seller of this dash with a newer version (I made a video on recently) and I asked if they’re making a mph version and they said yes. I’ll probably make a post on the Honda Navi subreddit when they do.
@@silas.andersonthanks
@@silas.andersonany updates?
Can we ride video does the neutral light change or stay on
I sadly no longer have a GoPro, I was borrowing it from my friend but in the future I might be able too. Also haven’t rode my Navi in a bit because it keeps drying then snowing and going from +15c to -10c so I’m unsure rn on the neutral light.
My front headlights now dont want to turn on 😢
Check your connector for the headlight. I’ve never seen anyone with this issue before and I just finished doing another newer dash mod recently without issue. Also make sure the bulb isn’t burnt or something too.
@@silas.anderson what color is the conector from the digital pannel cables ?
@deeswaveyy5014 what do you mean? Your headlight will work even if your have no dash installed. The headlight is based on its own circuit I believe.
I can try and help you more if you contact me on Reddit, my username is u/silasanderson2. Send me a message and pics of your wiring and I’ll try and help as much as possible.
Absolute gold. Thanks!
thanks man!
Is there a way to change it from kmh to mph
Sadly no, the seller keeps saying they’re making a mph version but they’re constantly delaying it so I sadly can’t tell you when there will be a mph version.
thanks man
no problem, glad to help

Thank you sm again!!!
Como la compro o donde la vende
I got it from here, soon I’ll make a second video on a better one.

Do you happen to know if there's a manual with it to change out the kilometers to miles
no sadly, i did contact the manufacturer and they did give me a date when they'd hope to start selling a mph version. i don't remember when it was exactly but it was mid to late summer i believe
NavX is also working on trying to figure out how to make it use MPH which he's done some eprom related things to make it work or at least possibly make it work, theyre also working on a ton of other navi related things like bigger fuel tank too.
Does it remember total mileage? How's readability during day time/sun's brightness?
It won’t remember mileage as the mileage is stored mechanically in the old dash with that “roll over” type of system if that makes sense and not stored electronically as a value somewhere. And I’m the day time it does get hard to see at least the little I rolled it out on my driveway because of the snow. People might be working on solutions for it though.
Legend!
Thank you!
Do you have to make the ac to dc conversion first?
I don’t know, I’m assuming not but at worst that’s a $5 fix. Sorry for not knowing.
How accurate is the speedo
i have no idea, seems just a accurate as the oem one though as my top speed didn't increase or decrease.
@@silas.anderson how is it during the daytime?
@@cool_breeze_actual9643little hard to see sadly. But at night and stuff I love it.
Love the upgrade - is it only in kilometers though or does it come in MPH?
Ya it’s kmh only so far. In a week or two I’m making a pt2 or second video on a new dash I found. I think this one in the video looks better but the one I’m going to make my new video on should be insanely visible during the day. It uses the same type of screen that my tachometer in the video uses. You do have to install a magnetic speed sensor but it doesn’t seem hard to do, the backlight color you can also change and everything on the new dash and possibly show your rpm’s on it which skips needing to get a tach!!!!
Have you figured out how to switch to mph
no other people are working on it. it requires eprom editing so the physical chips on the board
I"m old fashion . I like the original better.
Fair
Update?
I like it, just dim in sunlight but at night I love it. Also tbh I don’t really watch my speed on it at all 😅
Not as cheap as leaving it the way it was 🙃
Well in that case why look at upgrades labeled at cheap and not free 😂 $50 Canadian is cheaper then most games now for example.
Looks bad ass
Thank you :)
