SD card for stock nav.
Just installed the unit (kind of). It only recognizes one of the ports at a time: you can have either the front USB, armrest USB, or SD card be recognized as "USB storage".
A/C isn't working for me currently. The controls in the UI don't do anything. The MODE physical...
Good news for folks with a Premium car: I'm in the car currently, doing some tests with the USB connector. Not only does the single connection wire up to both USB ports in the car (front console and armrest), it also wires up to the SD card! Looks like there's an USB hub somewhere. I have it...
I received the Premium cables in the mail today, thanks again @PatrickHenninger. The pictures are up on the wiki.
Will install this weekend, but looking at the cables (the green/white and orange/black connectors connect the two cables), it might negate the need for the tachometer mod on...
I agree, I will try connecting the mini USB in the car to my laptop with that converter adapter when I install it. I figure it will likely just work that way. If so, I'll try to connect it to one cable set that comes out of the brown plug and see if that works on Android.
Easier than tracing...
I will do some testing when I get the Premium cable set.
Look, I REALLY appreciate all you're doing to facilitate getting all these folks their units and cables, but you're being really stubborn. I told you multiple times the base cable does not connect to the single Premium USB connector. To...
I have that, but the problem since the beginning is that the Base model has two separate USB cables coming from the car, which plug into that cable you showed (and I already have). I can't use that cable because: 1. I only have one cable in my car, not two and 2. the connector is physically...
Sorry, I misunderstood. The cable in the photo a few posts back is the one he showed me that I actually WANT. Since that gives me 2 female USB-A ports I can then just use instead of the connections in my car, as I can't hook up that cable you showed (because I only have one connector coming from...
If I remember correctly, that's a Sync3 unit. My MFT Sync 2 only has one connector on the back (and two exposed PCB boards like the one on the left in your pic above).
I didn't get any cables from him, he just shipped stuff to you.
That's exactly the cable he showed me (assuming there's a...
For reference (the single USB connector is highlighted in green):
As for what to do next, I was hoping he would send the USB cables we e-mailed about, which would allow for at least USB connections up front (albeit not in the console/armrest):
Seeing as how he didn't do that, I went ahead...
The text on the labels on those two wires is different, I'm 100% sure that the one closest to the RCA in my photo has the black stripe, going from the Chinese on the label.
Thanks for the link. I think I understand some of those words :) any chance you could snap a pic (no rush)?
Thanks, never even realized they had stripes. I updated the wiki, but are you sure you don't have them flipped in your explanation? Looking at the cable and the translation by Arrio, it seems the front camera power wire has the stripe, not the side camera power (in my photo, the one closest to...
I just spent some time putting up pictures of all the cables and electronics on to the wiki. As we learn more about these cables, we can document the connections/wires as necessary. Hope to get the Premium cables in next week and I'll add those to the cables page.
I also bought a USB adapter...
