Official Tesla-Style Head Unit

[RVK]

Thanks for the quick responses.

• I definitely don't have another USB connector, this is the only one that plugs into the back of my MyFordTouch screen. The other thing that plugs into the MFT screen is thw large cable you see at the top of the photo that shows the metal piece. Thr USB connector also doesnt fit into either one of the plugs on the brown-connector cable, as either the cutout for the portrusion OR the triangle is in the right place on the plug, but not both.
• The only cable I have with a thing that swings around to lock it into place is the large pne that plugs into the back of the MFT. As far as I can tell, that connects to the plug that has the red/white RCA and where I plugged in the yellow/black cables on pin 53/54 to get the gauge working. Bery confident that there isn't another such cable there.

Just to make sure: there's two cables that plug into the screen in the bottom, correct? If so, I don't have any other cables left, aside from the one loose cable that went into my factory CD unit, which doesn't seem to connect to anything?

Here's my understanding of the connections:

P.S. The Premium model mustang has a toggle switch that stays up to keep the hazard lights on. By default, the hazard light switch on the Tesla-unit only keeps the hazard lights on if I hold the switch in the up position. This can also explain that hazard lights doing funky things for you folks without a Premium model and switching to "Mustang Hi".

On the UI Style there's some other option and one says "NO AC" I wonder if that option will stop the Mode button from triggering the damn Blast of AC lol. I haven't tried it yet...

I'm unable to toggle this inside that menu, so I can't test. Its stuck on "classic topic".

Air supplier is the setting that you can change to [something] No AC

Hmmm, I get options like "bina swiss air agreement" and "Nina swiss no air conditioning", " ba valley agreement". This could be google failing to translate well. But I flipped through all the options and toggled the mode button. It still caused the HVAC to blast.

When StabgATX hops on, maybe he'll be able to confirm if this is the setting he was talking about.

Now its time to clean my gutters and MAYBE attempt rooting this thing.

Gotta reboot for changes to take effect, if they change anything.

Thanks, but in your installation you never hook up the large connector with the red/white RCA cables. I don't have the small connector you use to connect the cable that goes into the little box (with the single yellow RCA), as you can see in my picture above.

Really hope someone can help me figure that out (as well as the USB), otherwise I'll have to sell my unit....

When you removed your premium unit, was there a connector on the back of the stock acreen?

Yes, the large connector (red in my picture above) and the single USB connector (green in the picture)

I just watched a YouTube video on your unit, I see now. I should be hearing back from Liu Chaoren tonight, I'll let ypu know what he says.

Thanks so much, I'd hate to have to back out just because I don't have the right cables.

Hmmm, the dude asked me for a picture of my screen when I ordered mine, I wonder if they have 2 different wiring harnesses, might explain all the empty connectors on the back of the unit.

You mentioned a Y-splitter for the USB. Did that come with the unit? Then you definitely have a different set of cables. How did you connect the sma black box?

Wow, just took 20 mins for Kingroot to root. About 20 mins to download a 17mb file too. I dunno if its the unit, or my router but this thing struggles to get good reception. My phone shows good signal, the Tesla shows fair. I downloaded kingroot at an average of 20KBps. I'm about 30 feet from my router.

I made a video showing the process, but I dont think I'm going to post a 20 minute video of almost nothing happening.

He just replied, and said yes, you do need an additional connector. Waiting for him to confirm he's sending it. PM me your address, and I'll have him send it directly to you.
