Who has the second gen and installed on a base? Have a question about the black female end wire. Looks like a video cable with a red clip on it? I can't seem figure out where it is supposed to connect

Not sure if you're talking about the antenna whereas the new one is white?

I have a second gen on a base car, and I simply connected the head unit to the internet, google searched a picture I liked, and touched and held the picture for a couple of seconds. A box prompting me with options appeared, and I chose set as background. Once done, I didn't think it worked, because the original picture was there on the next startup. It takes something like two starts and opening the driver's door for the setting to take.

Okay I'll see if I restart. I did change the background but saw nothing happen lol. Thanks:cheers:

I dont think its in the settings like the wallpaper.
There is an icon for that called boot image or something like that. If you have Nova installed you go to all apps and its there.

I remember people saying the blackbox (the sync) that sits behind the screen can be removed and doesn't serve any purpose for the HU. is this ckrrect? I'd like to remkve it so I can get to the plugs on the cd player

Those cd player plugs were a pain. At that point I took an hour break to get my focus back and then came back and was able to unlock the clips :frusty:

Well I'm digging into it now. I loosened the sync box above it. Hoping this helps

Got them out in about 2 minutes thanks to removing the box. Huge relief!

You're close. Plugging the hu is definitely much easier. Just plug in all the old wires as well as two or three of the new ones and you're set

Should I reinstall the Black Box I removed that was sitting behind the old screen?

And does anyone have a pic of the wires connected? Just wsnt to ensure they're correct!

I recommend testing everything before finishing the job. Test reverse cam, radio, Bluetooth, Navigation, etc. If everything works you should be good :cheers:

As for the black box I'm not sure. I guess if everything works then screw the black box lol

I appreciate the help. I purchased a front camera and think I'll have to tap out tonight. Tons of wires all labeled in chinese. I have no clue where to even begin

No idea where to run the gps either. Has anyone done an install on this Gen2 HU?
