Here are some pictures showing removal of the Volume and Tune knobs from the circuit board. I'll start with the soldering equipment. One of the tools I used to remove the solder is an over 40 year old Radio Shack iron that is either 25 watt or 40 watts. It worked on the smaller lugs. The Weller...

I resize my pictures to 1100 pixels wide so they fit the full width of the page. I save them at low resolution 3 in Photoshop. I upload them to this forum using the Attach Files function. I can still see all my photos in the early pages of this thread. Here are a few pictures of the Secaine...

I have the Secaine unit and I still have to push the Engine Start/Stop button to power it up after remotely starting the engine, just like the stock head unit. I did set the power off delay timer on the Secaine head unit for 10 minutes. The screen and audio stays on after the Engine Start/Stop...

I removed the back up light bulb and the rear view camera was stilled zoomed in when my automatic transmission was in reverse. Unlocking and moving the AT shift lever slightly forward until the R indicator went out un-zoomed it like before with the back up light installed. :mad: I'm going to...

I'm the one that found out that if I unlock and move the AT shift lever forward slightly until the R goes out on the center information display the camera un-zooms. The other day I discovered that the back up light under the bumper also goes out. I just haven't had time to study the factory...

The bezel on the eBay and Secaine units is for the base model push buttons and heater controls. I posted pictures in a message above showing both factory bezels. There are four push buttons at the bottom of the base model bezel for engine start, emergency flashers, traction control and steering...

Even though I have been using my Secaine unit for several months now I forgot it does have a microphone at the top left corner of the dash panel. I can't find any setting to turn it on or off. I've never used the external microphone. It is tied up under the center dash panel. I don't do any...

I have the Secaine unit. I bought it in January of this year. It would be nice if the eBay seller had pictures of the wiring harness. The back of the head unit on the eBay one looks like the Secaine head unit. They are probably the same.

Another thing I did was cover all the wires on the Secaine wiring harness with split loom tubing and secured it with cable ties at each end. There are a lot of sharp edges on the metal supports under the dash. I didn't want to take a chance on a cut through the wire insulation and having a short...

The only other connection problem I had was that I connected the GPS antenna to the jack shown the Secaine web site. They even show the GPS antenna connected to the same jack on the overall components picture. That is wrong! I should have looked at the plug on the end of the antenna cable to see...

Good question! I've been meaning to post a message about this. The adapter that came with the Secaine unit plugs into the black colored jack on the factory Sync box. It will not plug into the lighter colored one. The angle at the corner of the jack is on the opposite side. Connect one of the...

Yes, if you are talking about the Secaine unit it only fits the base model. It took them awhile but eventually they put a picture on their web site stating that it does not work with the Premium radio. That is probably because the Premium bezel has an extra toggle switch along the bottom. The...

Great! I'm looking forward to seeing if it is identical to the Secaine unit I installed in February. I'm curious to know if they provide better instructions. I've been enjoying it every time I drive, which is almost daily. It is still working great with no issues except for the zoomed in back...

I found an outside ambient air temperature gauge in the Torque app that reads Fahrenheit. There is exterior temperature displayed in the the HVAC window that pops up every time the factory controls are adjusted but it is Celsius. I deleted all the gauges that were loaded on the screen. In...

I guess I have a couple of things to report. I did get the Torque app to work. It turns out I accidentally loaded the VW/Audi protocol in the last setting way down at the bottom of the list. Once I changed it to the first setting choice it started working. I need to customize the displays to...

I removed the 1/4-inch socket screwdriver handle several weeks ago. Like you said, all I had to do was remove the three push pins at the bottom rear of the inner fender and pull it back. Because the car was on a Kwik Lift I was able to be underneath the car to get to the nut driver. I don't have...

At this point I'm happy with the Seicane unit as built. I decided to try using my Samsung Android smartphone as a wi-fi hotspot instead of bluetooth. Since I have an account I installed the SiriusXM app so I could have a nice web page to look at showing the artist and song title. It looks and...

The only option I ordered was the OBD II Bluetooth adapter. It sends information to the head unit for displaying live engine data and diagnostic codes in the Torque app. A picture of it is below. I hope to get that working this weekend. The ATSC Digital TV adapter is to watch over-the-air TV...

My only regret is that I connected the GPS antenna to the jack shown in a picture on the Seicane web site. IT IS WRONG!. When I connected the radio antenna to the other jack and it didn't work I new something was not right. I looked at one of Shawn's videos and he pointed to the one that I had...

They call it a "grounding plate" but it doesn't connect to the car ground. It's just a thin steel plate a little bit larger than the antenna. I'll try to find some pictures and more info on this. The one that came with the Kenwood was big enough to put the GPS and SiriusXM antennas on it. I...
