Hi all!
I have a 2014 with base head unit, original owner. Felt it was time to update and modernize.
I've watched a ton of installation and setup videos, installed the new head unit. Very easy and straight forward swap. Plugs are pretty much idiot proof.
BUT as I'm sure you know, the little instruction booklet is not too good.
I've contacted the sellers, in China, and they have been somewhat helpful, sent two videos, but questions remain.
This is the unit I purchased.
I am hoping some of you gents have had, and figured out how to sort out the same problems.
1. Unable to assign the steering wheel button commands. I keep getting a Attempt, unsuccessful, try again notice. Does the GPS need to be active? Instructions not clear on this.
2. There are two USB plugs, "C" & "D" plugs connected to the unit when I pulled it out of the box, which should be used for the Apple play Dongle USB connection? I ask, because I attempted to plug in my iPod classic just to see if it would play, (not sure which USB cable, dumb move) and it got corrupted, and wiped out my entire music library. Pissed is beyond words, but I'll deal with that later. For now I want to make sure I don't do the same to my iPhone. In the video they sent me, it looks like there's software I need to download onto the unit for the Apple carplay to work with the iPhone. I tried it, but no internet connection. Instruction booklet says plugs on either side of the USB plugs should not be used, "useless".
3. Actually connecting to the internet to download the software. I'm in my driveway, 20 feet from the router in my basement, but am not getting the WiFi connection. My iPad is connected, so the distance is not an issue.
Here's a pic of the current situation with noted questions I sent to the sellers. The extra plug from the dongle appears to not be needed, but I asked anyway.
Appreciate any input you all have.
I'm basically looking for a Step by step guide an idiot like myself can follow! LOL! Step1-Do this, Step 2-Do this, then etc...
Cheers gents!
