Thanks for the info. I hope mine works when I power it up again. I did remove that center cover on the dash. It put up a fight. I though if I broke it I could just buy a replacement. Nothing broke but it hit the windshield when it came loose. Two blue clips came off. I took the other two blue...

I am thankful for all the excellent detail you put into your review. The lack of directions and support from the seller Seicane makes it a bit of a scavenger hunt finding connections and exploring features. My GPS works, but I loaded google maps and will likely use that instead. I'm not...

Yes, I could use google maps through my phone but it would be nice to have the GPS working independently from the phone while I'm streaming music. Also, there might be times when I'm in an area without phone service and the GPS will still work.

My mistake! I meant the voice command button on the steering wheel. I should have been more specific. I 'm reading everything you guys are doing with the Tesla-style units to see if there is something we can use on the Seicane horizontal display units. There is a lot of information there! I...

I thought the shipping was high and didn't hesitate to pay $5 more for express. It is coming from China via air. Mine was shipped on Friday morning and I received it on Monday morning in the Seattle area. It might have been less days if it wasn't for Saturday and Sunday in between. I've been...

I've tried the voice command button a few times but nothing happened. I never even used it with the original factory radio. I will be working on the unit this weekend and will try to get the voice command working. I need to get the GPS working. I also realized that the short USB adapter cable...

I finally got the car out of the garage in time to drive to work. The GPS isn't working. At first break I went out and tried to find some settings to change and open the GPS Plus app. Nothing changed. It is lunch time and I'm going out to try the new factory fog lights out in the dark. I work...

I just realized I could have looked at the discharged battery voltage on the center information screen between the tach and speedo. I'm not used to having that kind of information available in a car. After I connected the NOCO charger to the battery it was at 25 percent charge for a long time...

I don't have time right now to answer all the questions fully. Also, the car would not stay in the full power mode with me running the new infotainment system a lot. It took all night with a 3.5 amp charger to charge the battery back up. I will take more pictures and give detailed answers...

Update on the USB ports: I thought the one in the center console storage still worked because I was able to charge my phone with it. I plugged in a USB drive with music on it and the player doesn't see it. There is power there to light the drive and charge the phone which is good. I thought the...

I tried to play You Tube using my home wi-fi but the signal is not strong enough for video in the garage. I then set up my Samsung J3 phone to be a wi-fi hot spot. I was able to play the 2017 IMSA BMW Endurance Challenge race at Daytona in 720p60HD. The picture quality is excellent. There is a...

The Seicane screen does not dim when the +\- buttons on the headlight switch are pressed. They only control the instrument panel. It does not dim when the headlight switch is set to AUTO either. I believe that will automatically turn on the headlights when it is dark outside. I found two ways...

I'm glad you liked my response. I'm happy to pass along my experience with this unit. When turning on or making adjustments with the factory HVAC controls a window pops up on the screen.....Wait! I'll take some pictures! The first picture is the overall view of the panel illuminated by an LED...

I got it installed late last night. I took some extra time to wrap all the wire bundles in plastic split loom tubing. There are some sharp metal edges on the dash support brackets and I didn't want to risk cutting a wire and having a short circuit. There are a lot of wires and jacks which was...

I should have it installed and running by tomorrow evening. I will then see how everything works. I'm hoping the Bluetooth works without problems. I have a Samsung J3 phone which runs the Android 6.0 Marshmallow. I want to be streaming SiriusXM internet radio most of the time. I will try the...

I only had an hour and a half today to work on removing the first volume/tune controls off the circuit board. I had to use a Weller 140w soldering gun to get enough heat through the soldering wick. The wick absorbs a very small amount before I have to cut the end of it off and try again. It is...

I'm going to use a solder wick to remove the solder. It's been many years since I've done that but it works well. Here's a video showing the process: [ame] I found that dipping the end of the wick in a paste flux really helps to get the solder flowing into the wick. I want to have the option...

I think this message was for me. Last night I removed the stock dash panel and head unit. I had to get a Torx 15 driver today in order to remove the circuit board. I will attempt to un-solder the knobs before attaching it to the new panel. I hope to have the Seicane unit installed by the end of...

In regards to shipping times, according to the DHL shipper's tracking, the Seicane horizontal 10.2-inch Android unit I ordered departed Hong Kong on Saturday, Feb. 18 at 1:29 AM. A "Customs status update" showed it at Los Angeles Gateway, CA - USA at 16:11 (4:11 PM) on Friday Feb. 17. It turns...

Thanks for the information! It looks like the protective covering did it's job on my screen. The scuffing is light. I'm sure my screen is ok. I will leave the covering on until I install it in the car. I'm still considering trying a matte screen saver to cut the glare. The brackets look good on...
