⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any UA-cam fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing. Plus adds a little more personality I guess :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.
Adam

Love it. This will be an install in a year or twos time. Looking forward to seeing the full set-up.
Luv this install!!!!
Great job looks really nice!!!
Thank you for the video 🙏🏾
I have had so many Alpine units in past 35 years in multiple vehicles i had,they are best value for money and simple to work on for up grades to a mega audio system.
In my Navara Np300 i have x208au with x series amp,speakers and 12' sub woofer it sounds so good that I'm loosing my hearing....
Good on you Alpine never disappoint...
Alpine is great , but never value for money.
Always way overpriced for old tech.
nice vid might have to get one now
I've been eyeing this unit for a while. I have installed Morel front splits and rear co-ax's along with a JL sub in a custom box behind the rear seat into my 22 D'Max. Running off of Audio Control Amplifiers from the factory head unit. The reason am pondering this is I too am wanting proper wireless Android on top of the constant "could it sound/be better' voice in my head! 🙃
Haha nice. Sounds like would top off the system 👍
Thank you Adam for the very helpful video,I just finished the installation on my Navara np300 easy with no dramas because of your detailed video,thanks again!!!
Enjoy!
Hey mate, going to do this to a Patrol with a custom fascia, but how are you finding it? Does it integrate with Nissan ok?
Great video
Looks tidy as, definitely considering one just to get rid of that safety message and being able to have wireless Android auto is also a huge plus. Just recently put a kicker 10 inch hideaway sub under the front passenger seat of mine and has made a massive difference especially for the size of it.
Interesting choice of sub... 😁😉
Another great job.. Just need to you pop around and hook my XT up with this upgrade..
:D May need $$ for a couple tanks for diesel lol
Love it mate been looking at this unit 👌 were did you get the knob from as well for the unit or is that part of the kit ? Just not seen it anywhere
Cheers
Thanks for a great Video. Can a similar setup be achieved in an Isuzu MUX 2018 Model
Hi GRET VIDEOS but need your help ? when you swap over did you loose any features or issues since? also what does the instrument cluster say regarding multimedia audio etc ? does it complain due to no factory head unit? also how is the audio with factory speakers after ? how did trac camera buttons work with the head unit? why did you choose the 11 not the 9? any further thoughts on the unit would be much appreciated
Great video. It would be a huge upgrade, especially if starting out with a lil 7" model.
For sure!
Thanks for the video Adam, love your work, and this upgrade is definitely on the cards for me. Funny that you mention that you were having issues with the wired android auto USB connection on the factory stereo as I find Android Auto randomly drops out, I have tried using multiple USB cables as well as 3 different types of AA Wireless Dongles to see if that would rectify the issue but it still frustrates me to no end and that is what the key driver would be for me replacing it. Out of interest have you noticed any sound quality improvement on the factory speakers just upgrading the deck?
I am also keen to know if sound has been improved as I imagine the new unit would have a much better amp ? Any plans for new speakers? 😂
Yeah I'm convinced that the USB port was the culprit for me also, I have tried wired android auto with this unit and it works straight away with the cables I tested. Maybe slight increase in the speakers quality? Probably more so to do with the equaliser settings that's available on the head unit. They will be replaced soon anyway! 😉😁
Love your videos. Loving this head unit. Definitely want one with some new speakers.
Quadlock wireless phone charger, but have you attached it to your pillar handle, or just the pillar?as I don't like windscreen suction.
Cheers! Have a whole video on it - ua-cam.com/video/Aw9oze2iwp4/v-deo.html
Good job , I bought Alpine ilx f509a for my 2018 D'max and be aware the Alpine ILX-F509A doesn't come with blanket to close gep on facial.
another brilliant video Adam ...def keen to get this unit....quick question though.... the volume control knob... can that be remotely mounted? ie in the centre console? trying to find info and cant find anything...
Yep, it's Bluetooth, comes with brackets if you want to fix to the screen sides or can just put anywhere like I did with some double sided tape
Loving the DMax build videos. I have a new Mazda BT 50 and am trying to follow a lot of the mods you are adding. I am trying to remove the infotainment from the BT 50, but the shape of the dash and the air vents are different. I'm having trouble re moving with trim tools. Do you know of an article or video that explains how to do what you have done with the DMax to the BT 50?
No sorry I don't :(
Another great video mate but not something I will be looking at. It seems a bit intrusive to me and I really don't mind the original. As for the potential speaker upgrade video, yes please!
The coolwalk update for Android auto is awesome
Haven't got it yet! :( Can't wait for the update haha
Hmm... very tempted to go down this route for mine but having a hard time justifying the outlay, although I imagine the screen-size updgrade alone would be nice compared to my poor 7" SX screen...! 😅 Did you notice any improvement in the sound quality from the factory speakers with this upgrade by chance? I've swapped head units in previous cars and been impressed by the improvement on factory sound so hoping that something like this might negate my need to upgrade speakers too. Cheers for the great and comprehensive vid as always!
Hey mate, yeah I know it hurt a bit, but love the big screen! As far as sound, maybe a bit, the HD audio is def a thing if you love your tunes, the 2x subs have ruined it all now though haha.. need to get some speak upgrades happening to keep up
@@VideoShowMeHow Haha I can imagine, must be a bass overload! I'm just planning to dust off my old single Kicker HS8 for mine, pulled it out of a previous car and should do for my bass needs - will definitely look into that Alpine unit for future stereo upgrades though!
Yeah they go alright! I've had a plan with the Kenwood and pioneer 8" units on the channel a while ago, def round outs the sound
I can’t find the wire harness anywhere. Any suggestions? Thanks
Thanks for your video. I just got one of these and cannot get any DAB radio stations on it? Have you had any issues with DAB+ radio?
No seems to work fine? I have found though it only really works well closer to the city etc, range doesn't seem as a good
I want this whole Kit for my 2023 MUX... You have link?? Mine is a LHD MUX...
Great video. I assume this would also work on a 2023 MUX in Thailand (I live in Thailand 🙂)
Great Video , Is there any way to connect a third party Dash Cam and have you any instructions on the HDMI connection?
Cheers, unsure on the dashcam. There is an alpine option but haven't played with a 3rd party hack though no doubt there would be one
Hey Adam, Love the videos. Just curious, why did you want to upgrade the head unit? Was it more for audio reasons? Or that crappy warning message every time you turn your car on or the wireless android auto? It looks awesome installed by the way.
All 3 😁 Plus wanted some decent f/r cameras and the alpine's had the best integration I could find
Hey Adam, spotted and got to check out the DMAX in the flesh at an Undisclosed Hardware Chain in an Undisclosed Location this afternoon. Looks Amazing!!!
Haha o really? Wotcha think? It's in 'road mode' at the moment
Very envious, looks shmick 👌. Mine was right in front of yours, haven't even had it a month yet. I was hoping the Yowie would have been on it. I'm in the process of trying to figure out the tub setup, not settled on how I want to do it yet. Like your approach and it would be mad to have the tent on the tub a bit lower potentially. Just gotta figure out if there is a way I can get some added security and protection from dust and rain etc. Otherwise will be a canopy job I think.
Big fan of the channel btw, watched every video. Keep up the great content!
Yeah usually rtt and the two awnings. Will be at the 4x4 show again this year with all the bits on if you want a closer look 👍
Hey Adam, love your work.
Is there any chance you made a video on how to remove the sail plane? Planning to replace it with a different one.Thanks!
No I didn't I'm afraid, is fairly easy bunch of bolts along the rails and then there's a couple in the corners next to the roller shutter canister. In particular, there's one or two from memory up behind the canister, which is a bit of a bugger to get to.
Did you connect VSS wire? Love your videos, anything on speakers install? 😊 cheers
hey no I didn't, speakers to come in the NY :)
Awesome video, you have inspired me to go down this track with my yet to be delivered MUX. Just wondering though, does that make your Trac Electronics AnyTime camera package redundant? Only because in this video you said you were waiting on new auxiliary camera equipment? Thanks for sharing !
Yeah it does, have front and rear cameras with this that can be activated at any time
@@VideoShowMeHow Ah, thanks for that Adam, can you tell me what cameras you ended up with and what controls the "any-time" activation now?
The Alpine HDR front and rear. The Alpine Bluetooth knob cycles through the cameras or the camera button on the headunit
Hey Adam I’ve started the installation on the Alpine unit into the D-MAX but hit a bit of rock with installing it I’m left with 4 wires from the D-MAX that need to plug into the Alpine unit. Also my navigation and camera systems aren’t working on the D-MAX.
can u stream youtube?
Hi Adam. Great videos. Iv got a question. What have I stuffed up by not plugging the steering control in before everything else. I got a bit excited and started connecting everything and forgot about doing the steering control first so when I turn on the ignition of my 2023 Dmax the screen stays blank on my Alpine 11inch head unit. Bugger !!. Neil.
Hi, the steering controlodile is really sensitive and can short it seems if plugged in out of order (I had to get another from doing this). Blank screen won't be that though, I'd suggest maybe the little thin strip of plastic aka 'power strip's I think they call it may not be seated properly. Next I'd check the earth.
Looks sweet, How does it go with direct sun on the screen? Original screens are a pain in direct sunlight
Yeah no probs, is full auto brightness (unlike the temperamental factory screen)
Any troubleshooting advice? I followed this to the T and yet factory reverse cam not working😢 on corolla 2019 p.s i have 4 connectors left from the car side. One 4pin grey 2 two pin connector and one big white and black connector which looks similar to the other two connectors which connect too cht014c
You might need a kit (like the stinger one I used)
Quick question. DO you recall the part number for
Isuzu D-MAX usb and jack 3.5mm replacement PCB and plastic cover. I dont need the full kit only that part for my Halo Install.
Not individual part numbers sorry mate, just what's linked in the description
Great Vidoe's Adam, Have watched them all and installed many in our 21 Dmax XT.
Q for you, do you know if the Alpine iLX-F509A will fit directly into the OEM factory surround or is a stinger kit still required? TIA
Hey there, would say a kit would still be required, could potentially get away without as it mainly makes the gaps much smaller if that makes sense. Worth dropping stinger an email
@@VideoShowMeHow Adam, do you know where I can get the white insert locking tabs for the face plate, mine was ridiculously tight and a couple of the white locking tabs broke on removal. Thanks
Most auto shops eg autobahn, Supercheap etc have spares, just take one in to match
Hey Adam Q re camera connection, do you connect the Camera Signal jack from the stinger kit to the Drive Recorder in (yellow Jack) on the Radio, this seems a bit vague in your connections yet once in the car the 2 yellow jacks are connected. I have followed the connections the same as you but my reverse camera does not work on the radio. Any thoughts? TIA
Hey did you figure it out? I'm currently having the same issue
Sorry missed this, did you re enable the camera in the Alpine unit? Mine wasn't working either on first turn in, had to go into settings and select
Hi just installed my Alpine today and same problem not having reverse camera come up.
@@VideoShowMeHowhaving the same problem. I have selected the reverse camera in the settings. Tried both PAL and NTSC with no difference. The camera just comes up as black screen with the guide lines when I select reverse.
Can you retain the factory mic and gps? I have a MY22 Mux and am hoping it works pretty much the same
no I don't think so, the mic is in the factory head unit, both gps and the mic are much better from alpine anyway
I have an Izusu Mux 2022 and can only assume the Dmax is the same, the "premium" sound system is beyond terrible, easily the worst part of these cars, did the head unit upgrade alone improve this? Would this be a decent upgrade without going all out on speakers, sub and amp?
Just a quick question, do you now find that the airvents are partially blocked bye the head unit? And does this unit have wireless carplay and Android auto?
AC fine, no impact. Yep wireless apple car play and wireless android auto
HI, I would be very happy if you could help me out with a question about my Alpine Ilx-f903d.
I was trying to put back the USB cable in the back of the head unit, but when I put it back suddenly the screen won't turn on anymore. Thought It was the ribbon cable's fault because it was removed while I was doing all this. I changed that as well because in attempt of putting it back it was somehow runied so I changed it with a new one. The thing still won't turn on but the head unit gets power.
Does it have that 'powerstrip'? The little black strip of plastic? I found that to be a bit fiddley and if it wasn't right it wouldn't turn on
@@VideoShowMeHow yes It does. Maybe I thought it was a short circuit problem since the power was on in the moment that I removed it
Can this communicate with the factory system and work with the factory 360 camera & Tyre pressure monitor system?. Thanks?.
No unfortunately
Great job! Do you know if the stinger kit fits the BT50?
CORRECTION, you'll need a bt50 stinger kit
@@VideoShowMeHow Is it worth the upgrade?
@@Big_Boulders is for me but each to their own
Since the android player have hdmi. Is it possible to have separate screen? Like the second screen for navigation and main screen do other thing. Is that possible?
Hmmm great idea, unsure if it could run both at the same time. I've got a fire stick in there and to enable you select the HDMI on the main screen, unsure how you have both screens on
Hello!
Can you help me with a solution for fitting a head unit into a Volvo V40 2014 dashboard?
Could be a Sony XAVAX 8150 or another similar product.
Thank you,
Hi, sorry I'm not familiar with Volvo's
Thanks Adam great choice, I also want one but I have a 2023 GT BT50, screens seem similar size. Will this 11in or the 9in fit ? If unsure which supplier would know the answer?
unsure 100%, I know the BT runs the same factory unit, would just need the right stinger kit for the BT, worth dropping them a line to confirm
Thanks Adam will do@@VideoShowMeHow
Hey mate did you end up doing the 6x9 speaker change out? I changed out my fronts to kicker clubs but I'm just wandering how you went with the back seat door speakers ?
Cheers
Hey no haven't as yet.. kicker fronts go ok?
@VideoShowMeHow actually it was the jbl clubs but yeah all good perfect fit good bass and clear sound much better than factory if you do the upgrade I'll be watching cheers
I have a new 23 BT50 and want this setup too, what is difference for this kit not to be suitable for the BT50? Is it the wiring or the facia surround? Looking to get this done asap stock head unit is horrible
Different facia kit, this was a stinger kit so I'd contact them 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow I found a facia kit at dnaaudio but it looks very similar to the one you installed from stinger, I'm a bit hesitant to purchase
Do you know if Alpine makes a head unit that sits flush in the dash same like the factory one ?
Yep, but just not that size.
5:05 where did you get that part?
Adam I am in the process of fitting Alpine head unit to my My21 x-terrain however the link you have listed for the Aerpro App-8ALPV 16 pin Alpine Harness comes up as an error so I don't want to order the wrong harness as there are three similar harnesses can you please direct me to the correct one. Regards Errol
Hi, have updated the link. the model number is listed.. Can use this at any local dealer as well eg Autobahn etc in need.
I’ve just got an X terrain about 3 weeks ago, is the head unit worth replacing to something this high end in your opinion?
Really is personal preference, I'm a sucker for this kind of gear so was for me :)
Great video, liked it a lot.
Was setting up wireless android auto hard to do for you? I have bought the ilx-705 that has the same software as your unit. But I can't seem to get it to work without the usb attached.
Can you please help?
Was super easy for mine? Once paired and enabled wireless android auto on the phone just went straight in? Phone android auto up to date? Enabled wireless android auto?
@VideoShowMeHow phone has android 13 with the latest version version of android auto. Do I have to make a wifi connection to the headunit first?
No wifi, have you enabled wireless android auto? This isn't enabled by default, you have to toggle it on, it's in the android auto settings
@VideoShowMeHow Checked, it was on.
With the cable it works, when I pull the cable out it stops working. In the notification list it says "searching for android auto" and than nothing happens.
Phone is paired with the headunit?
Did the sound quality improve?
When you play music ,does it sounds louder?
Maybe a little
What do f511A, f511D and others mean? What is the difference between them?
When using wireless carplay or android , does that volume knob even work?
yep sure does
Are you able to change the splash screen/startup screen on this unit?
On the older halos yes, but doesn't seem to be able to on these :( Hopefully @Alpine updates the ability to do this
how about the 360" camera?still can use the fectory 1?
360 camera?
Thanks for sharing
How is the unit going so far?
Loving it, upgraded the firmware so running tidal etc is amazing. Have some subs in there too now and has totally changed the sound. (Vid out on these this weekend)
@@VideoShowMeHow Thanks, Subs make a huge difference. even just going with 6x9's instead of just straight 6 inch round can make a huge difference. are you using the standard reverse camera?
Hey just wanted to know if if still has the song name for music or gps directions on the drivers screen like the original does
Hmm unsure haven't looked, will checkout and report back!
@@VideoShowMeHow awsome thank you,
had a bloke on the pages tell me his kenwood one did it but only when plugged in via usb
Hmm no it doesn't seem to, I just get dashes when via wireless android.
@@VideoShowMeHow thank you for checking much appreciated
Is this compatible with the TRAC anytime reverse camera?
I think so but not 100% sure as went the Alpine HDR cameras to go with
Nice one Adam. Have you remove the Trac front camera?
Yeah I have. I've gone to dual Alpine HDR front and rear (upcoming video)
@@VideoShowMeHow I can't wait for this upcoming video !
Were you able to mount the cover hinge once screen is on. Mine can not fit :(
Yeah, just SUPER tight behind there. I have since trimmed the stinger kit a bit with the Dremel for a bit more space
Mind sharing what part you have trimmed? Thanks
@Bokigtr the singer kit, the surround. Linked in the description
How did you get full wireless? Alpine said it's wired only for android?
Nope it's wireless apple and android out of the box 👍
Hi Adam, have you noticed any improvement in the quality of the factory reverse camera? I find it’s definition quite low and don’t know if it’s because the camera is rubbish or the definition of the factory screen is poor.
Hey, have replaced with the Alpine HDR cameras to go with the head unit so can't really comment on the factory one sorry mate
What is the size of the stock oem screen you took off?
Is the xterrain screen which is 9"
Can you provide a link or brand on that volume knob please and thank you.
It's the Alpine nob for the halo units
great vids... you're making me spend $$ .. 😛
quick question... the dual camera module you installed earlier.. guessing that's now redundant? can you view your cameras any time using the camera button on the alpine, or have you kept the module connected?
just waiting on delivery on my halo
also your bluetooth remote, how does that mount?
yeah no need for the trac system now. You can just switch between the camera front and rear via the halo and with the bluetooth volume remote (just press down to cycle through). It mounts with double sided tape, can stick it anywhere. there are brackets included can bolt to the side of the screen if you want
@@VideoShowMeHow …also, do you still have the sub running off rear speakers, or have you wired off the head unit?
I want to install the screen remotely - I want an umbilical cable to bridge between the screen and head-unit. Has anyone tried this? (Think of a Computer & Monitor setup). I want to install the screen in FRONT of the existing screen in an old Chrysler 300, on a pivot that lets you access the original screen whenever necessary (heated/cooled seats, etc).
hmm I think you'd need to install the whole thing, I'm not confident you could just have the screen seperate
What do you like best spotify or Tidal?
Both have their place, def use Spotify more often
I would love to know what is different between the BT50 facia and this one, I have tried to find out however no one can tell me what the actual differences are. I found one installer that does this install however they won't say what the modifications are or what the difference is between the the bt50 & dmax and they want $920 to install the stinger facia, which really makes the purchase stupidly expensive. The stock head unit is so appalling I am using my phone to navigate as the stock head unit has a washed-out screen making it impossible to view the maps when driving.
900 to install the facia! Whoa... I can't help with the differences I'm afraid as I haven't seen the BT50 one in the flesh to compare to. Worth contacting stinger themselves? As it was with the DMAX one I ended up dremeling out a bit from the inner square to give a bit more room with the halo as was so tight
Can you please let me know how far did you dremel out? Any photos would be great. Also how if your gps connection? Did you connect VSS wire?
Hi how did you do the bypass I had issues on mine and I had to wire it to a switch which is kinda annoying
Bypass?
@@VideoShowMeHow yea in America we have the radios with a parking brake wire I’m not sure if you have that the model here is ilxf507 pretty much the same radio as yours
Ahhh yeah has similar. There's a similar lockout when it comes to video in when watching a movie or something via HDMI. With some of the units you can get away with just grounding the parking wire from the head unit and that will be enough to trick the unit to think that the park brake is always on. Some of them though actually need to see it switch from positive to ground so you need a little relay to be wired in. You can get these fairly cheap from Amazon, etc. Just Google Alpine parking brake bypass
@@VideoShowMeHow ok thanks
Anyone having issues with gps lock in Apple CarPlay ? Might have to move gps antenna or it’s apple CarPlay issue?
Carplay/android auto uses your device GPS not the head unit so would say has something to do with the phone mate
Hello, I am facing a problem with the device. I bought it from Amazon. When I wanted to install it, it does not work. It gives a signal on the Alpine screen and turns off. I do not know what the reason is. Is it from the factory or something else? I hope you can help me.
Hmm hard to say over comments, would suggest double checking all connections, also make sure you have the 'power strip' the little plastic strip installed correctly
The volume knob is that a option?
Yeah, controls cameras as well
Why is the screen not detachable?
Nice I wanna get one so I can get ride of that stupid opening safety message.
Number 1 reason for sure!
@@Melstorm yeah i cant stand that message its so pointless
That safety message might be the one save you from causing accident dude...they didnt make it to annoy you or anyone,they did that because they want everybody alive and well mate
@@dolguldur4706 care to explain how a safety message will help in any way? Is the safety message the only thing keeping you from doing unsafe things? Or do you just forget everytime you start your car?
Go into your android auto launch phone settings & apps will launch automatically
How did you remove the usb media port?
Pushed out from the back
Adam, Just wondering why you chose the Alpine did you research other units?
Hey mate, yeah sure did. The Alpine seem to be the worst on the wallet but at the same time had the most features and seem to be the highest quality. I also had a hard look at the Kenwood but it just didn't stack up spec wise and when I use both of them on display the Alpine just seemed much snappier on the interface. I wanted a big screen too and there isn't too much on the market with screens this size in the floating screen configuration. The other thing that sold me on the alpine's is the proper HD HDR cameras that you could get for them. I've got them installed now with a separate button control to trigger them whenever I want and it's absolutely awesome
@@VideoShowMeHow Interesting, how did you do to replace the original rear camera ?
Great product but how can we find all auxiliary components and who can assist to me
Links in the video description 👍
Is it an option to buy from you the original 9” screen ?
Sold mate
@@VideoShowMeHow thanks man !
HOW DO YOU FIND THE USE OF THE VENTS NOW ?
Yeah fine, it only covers them by about 10mm or so and I had them blowing to driver/passenger anyway
Can I install this in a 2019 Infiniti q70
Possibly, would search for an equivalent stinger kit for your model
If you don’t need your old display screen, I would be happy to buy it off you. I’ve got the 2021 SX Dmax and it comes with a really small screen.
Ah sorry bud, already moved it on to a new home
@@VideoShowMeHow All good 👍 Thanks for the reply.
Nice job mate, do you want to sell your stock screen? I have a LSM so it would be a nice upgrade for me 😅
Cheers. Sorry no, has already went to a guys BT50
@@VideoShowMeHow is it a straight swap? No facia or bezel stuff involved?
Also interested in answer
Nice.. please install ambient light next time that must be amazing🔥🔥

How do i connect wireless android auto to this unit ? Thanks
Just enable wireless aa on your phone and connect your phone, will auto connect
@@VideoShowMeHow ive tried that it doesnt work.
How much money do you have? I just bought the car, picking it up this weekend. I've looked through the upgrades you've done that i want to do. And the numbers on the list is growing very fast. I need to live at work for a couple of months. :D
Congrats on the pickup 👍

No doubt, they're a great car in my experience
Does the 3D camera system work with this?
3d cameras?
@@VideoShowMeHow hi, thanks for the reply :) Most cars now days have a OEM 3D camera system. Also called a 360 camera system, give a Birds Eye view when reversing.
I don’t think many of these aftermarket head units can incorporate it. I assume this Dmax would have it, providing it’s a mid spec or higher.
@benny360 ah yeah, they're a '360' camera but don't come on the DMAX I'm afraid 😟
@@VideoShowMeHow ah, apologies, assumed most cars had it now.
Yeah the main issue is to make the '360' function work you need multiple cameras, usually the extras are in the mirrors themselves, the current range of DMAX's only have a reverse camera from factory unfortunately. I've got the Alpine front and rear HDR cameras though which work pretty well.
Fun fact: android auto and CarPlay wouldn’t necessarily be sluggish just because of the main head unit (if it was slow and sluggish) as those interfaces are ran directly on the phones.
Agree, but the head unit will also play a factor though
@@VideoShowMeHow by the way do you know where I can find out what adaptor kit I require for my Smart Fortwo 453? Thanks
Hiw to change it's language, i have been trying but not getting any success 😢
Unsure if there's a setting? Maybe shoot Alpine support an email
@@VideoShowMeHow email address?
Hi There how to buy one ?
Links in the video description 👍
Can you play videos on it? Kills me the stock one doesn’t do it.
Yep, has full HDMI in and out 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow ok so corded only? Or can you play from your phone? Last question :)
I think you can via mirror link, haven't tested though, will have a play before the next vid on it 👍
You can play videos, UA-cam etc on the stock unit via mirror link however when hand brake is released it stops, another silly safety feature. Maybe possible to disconnect the wire triggering it need to look into it
D-Max means something totally different in America.
@@JD-mq8ej yeah? Different model or?
@@VideoShowMeHow Yes lol. Our D-Max is a GM/Chevrolet Heavy Duty diesel truck. The engine in them is called a Duramax Diesel aka D-Max or Dirtymax.
Yeah ok cool, we have duramax variants in some platforms here also. ✌️
You're talking about lagging and lagging and lagging... show how the volume button works
Lagging? The volumne button is great, is wireless so you just tap and it auto connects then you just twist up or down like normal. I prefer a actual knob like this rather than the button
How much does this usually cost for someone else to install it?
It's going to very depending on your location and the installers of course, but I'd probably be thinking at least a few hundred
