Great product so far

So far, after just one day of use, I really like this module. Setting up in terms of connecting wires and what is not very simple and straightforward. I used 2-3 different youtube videos because I have a Harmon Kardon so I had to figure out how to route the fiber optic cables (green cables on the bundle) which was very easy. I looked at another for general setup and a third for removing the glove box. Which brings me to my warning: if you have a dual-band box in your car, do yourself a favor and remove the glove box and route the cables through the space to the right of the radio. Believe me, this will save you a headache. I tried to be lazy and just put the module behind the radio and it turned a simple chore into an all-evening chore. So far I can definitely recommend this product. If anything goes wrong I will update. I also have an Android and it connects to Android Auto wirelessly with this device. The last thing I wanted to say to the person who mentioned something about software updates and night mode is that you can enable dev. Android Car Play options on your phone by going to settings and scrolling down, tapping version and resolution. This activates the developer menu, which can control night mode.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Negative experience
