9" Aftermarket Android Head Unit (Feature Overview / Installation)

[naldy]

Figured out why the head unit kept turning off the reverse camera, as well as why it wouldn't do headlight auto-dim. Turns out I had the wrong CANBUS protocol selected. You have to use "Raise CRIDER", not "Simple/Rasie Civic/CRV". This also fixed the instrument cluster clock issue

That officially solves absolutely every single thing wrong with my PX6. I can finally go to sleep happy tonight lol

I was hoping it would be in there but I couldn't find it might have to buy another unit

and Navifly customer service sucks

Did the Tlink work for you....?

That's awesome! Great news. My sound went away....and hasn't come back. Tried everything I can think of....but it won't return. I left a message for Navifly, but they are 12 hour+ out of sync with us. Am nervous it is going to be a hassle to return it, if it is indeed broken. Any thoughts...? You run into something like this before...?

Honestly I'm not sure, I've never run into that before nor have I seen anyone else with that issue in here

Well....it should go to the place on your radio that says Radio Antenna amplifier. That is where mine goes....but that just might be 12Vdc....not sure. That location is on the black plug on my radio....not sure where yours is without a schematic.

Two things:
1. Find the schematic for your radio.....you can ask the seller...they might respond, or google your radio information....but that is a tough find.
2. You can wait for me to measure the voltage on my blue wire and see if it is 12Vdc...if it is then we can find a spot to connect yours on your harness.

These are the schematics I found. Sorry for the slow reply!

I got it working. it was a new set of speakers(JBL GX628) that made the amp in the radio stop working. not sure why. I put the original speakers back in and the radio started working. Swap them back to the JBL and would work for about 5 mins and the no sound. Oh well...back to stock!

EDIT: After thinking about it....the JBL speakers have a tweeter that have what looks to be a High Pass Filter capacitor to isolate the frequency. The ohms on both speakers were both about 3 ohms....so the only thing I can think is that the Amp that is built into the Radio could not handle that capacitance across it's output....it's a guess. Either way...I did not want to risk bypassing that capacitor and just sent them back to Amazon. Yes...they sounded better...especially in the upper frequency....the treble was outstanding as was the base...but only having that for 3 minutes is not worth the effort. Let me know if you have been able to install after market speakers on your M400....would like to know the model and part number....might upgrade later.

btw...I did get the sound deadening install last weekend...and man....what a difference that made...! Is no vibrating distortion at all, due to the hollow door frame. And is definitely more substantial and less road noise too. Took about an hour per door...and covered 90% of the space with only having to make a few small cuts.

I checked and my blue wire is connected to pin 12....which is your A12 on the top picture...called "A12 Ant Power" This should make a dramatic difference in your station availability. See below mine is in the same spot.

Great....!! It was so fun to install and troubleshoot mine. Got everything working now...and am going to change the Reverse Camera View this weekend. Right now it is this weird fish eyed view....and I am going to change it to the regular view. If it works, I will post directions.

Good Luck....!! If you run into any issues....and I don't respond quickly....send me an email to [email protected].

Thanks will do. Will probably start on it after work tonight. Good luck on the camera views. Ill probably start with tapping into the mic, then test the back up cam. Make a few calls and see if the internal mic even works. I’ll probably hide the gps antenna and the 4g antenna under the plastic piece above the gauges.

Because I don't use the GPS nor the 4G, I just tucked it back behind the radio....but I still get good GPS reception. I use Apple CarPlay for navigation.

I left my mic in the upper left corner....and it is working great, so I doubt I mess with it right now.

It's so easy to string it through to beneath the panel above the steering wheel that you might as well do it so you know it'll get better signal in case you ever do need to use it.

Yup....understand. I ran my mic up there to the left corner of my windshield. But my GPS worked fine behind the radio with no slow downs or connections issues. Is mainly just plastic above the radio anyway. But thank you for the follow-up....if it doesn't work, I will move it up and above the steering wheel.

Just can't believe how bright and vibrant this M400 is....wow....just Amazing coming from the crappy 5" display.
