Ebay "Tesla" Style Center Dash Screen Console

Yes I had already replaced the factory camera with an aftermarket camera. I had to remove the rear hatch cover to get to the internals. Not a hard job just time consuming and tedious in some spots. Also they used silicone on some of the parts so it’s sticky. Goo Gone helped a lot lol. Then I just ran the wires to the dash. And I tapped into the brake lights in the rear.

Forgot to mention - 2005 FX45 with OEM Navigation originally. No rear DVD Package

What i was referring to was the connection between the your existing rear view cam and the new wiring harness for the Tesla radio. Which connectors were used? is there an RCA connector (like a yellow composite connector) from your camera to the Tesla wiring? I can not find any RCA, video or other obvious connector from my factory cam to use with the Tesla radio connectors. Hope that makes sense?

Do you have pics of your connections with the Tesla wiring harness?

I tried that but it won’t accept it? I put it in but nothing happens. Did it work for you? If you tried?

Sorry I haven't been on in a while. That 3368 is the password to access the settings menu (i think represented by the gear icon) and personal info settings. Those icons are on the bottom of the menu screen in your pic. I guess the password for doorlock and the other item in your pic is different. I hope maybe by now you have it figured out.
 
From Alibaba but I think they are all the same except the Android version may be different and the way the set the GUI up. The 3368 code worked on mine as well

I finally heard back from the vendor they suggested using 338. I have not tried using that code yet, but hope to get a chance to this weekend

Nice! What are we looking at here? Split screen display? What O/S version is this? Is everything working including backup cam?
Click to expand...
O/S is Android 10. The split screen display you see is in carplay mode. Had do a little bit of shaving behind the dash in order for the unit to sit flush. OEM TPMS works however, I can't figure out how to convert it to show PSI instead of kPa. OEM camera works but the quality and angle of the camera is horrible so I put in an aftermarket one with a wide angle view.

Has anyone added an external mic to the headunit? the intergrated one sucks.
Click to expand...
I have not. I asked the supplier about doing so and really got nowhere. I totally agree that these mics suck! As another option, I saw a video on youtube where a guy replaced the mic on his with a better one. Don't recall the link, but I'm sure you did a search on there you could find it.
 
Man, I am REALLY tempted to put one of these in my 2007. After living with it installed for a while, does anyone want to talk me out of it?

Only downsides for me are:
  • I still can't get my reverse camera to work. Other have though
  • the mic sucks rendering conversations via bluetooth useless unless you're just listening.
