Yes, I do have SYNC2. I will try to contact Phoenix to see if I can get that 54 pin adapter. Thanks, I appreciate the heads up on that. Did you have to do an adapter for the hazard an door locks as well?

no, the adapter was (as for phoenix as for prelingcar one) for rearcam and swc controls. but with phoenix one swc never worked, then I changfed with newer head unit and with ht ehelp of vendor I've modified the hriness of the adapter to force swc learning

Hi, i've already changed my head unit with another tesla style style with android 9 and 8 core but the problem was the same, the connectors adapter!
Then..was you haveing the SYNC2? If so, you've to ask for an adapter for the 54pins

Do you have an image or a link to where I can buy the adapter. Phoenix is slow in getting back to me. I appreciate all the help btw.

Ok so I have a question, did you buy another one from Phoenix or somewhere else because I sold mine but I want to buy another one.

Guys I have sync 3.on a mk 3.5.i have a tesla head unit and apparently there is no Canbus decoding that works yet. I have been searching for the last year and no luck. I have confirmed this with all the people that make the custom. Sw controllers as well

Nothing works on the Canbus decoding. Ie volume, and forward back etc. Everything else I have working camera etc. Afaik the maestro units don't work on the mk3. 5 either just previous models. Sync 2 etc

 

[MarcusFoFo]

maybe you had'nt joined well all wires

Where did you find the plug for the USB? I can't find the end of the factory USB plugs to use the USB transfer cable as intended. That is what you are supposed to do, find the end of the factory USB plug, it goes into the transfer cable which then plugs into the radios included USB cable in order to make the factory USB plugs work. I've saw one video of a car with Sync 2 that had a media hub in the console, and when they pulled the media hub out the connection to it is exactly what I need. I don't have that media hub in my car though.

EDIT: Nvm, about the USB plug. I found it finally. When I was tracing the wire from the USB under the climate control I was following it with my hand where I couldn't see it and thought it was going into a cluster of wires. It was actually going up and over a box then down behind the box and back underneath it to plug in. No idea why they routed that wire that way lol. So, I just had to unplug it from that box. I'm guessing that box is the main sync control system. So, I was able to use the USB Transfer line as I suspected to get the front USB port working with the radio. The Console one is still plugged into that box though, they only sent one transfer line. I'm guessing because the one in the console is used for upgrades and such? Not a big deal, I can route the second USB plug over to the glovebox to hide an accessible connection in there.


Yeah I know the boot time is somewhat normal, although slower than other tablets I own lol. Is just an annoyance that I can probably live with.

What version of android is on your radio? That is one of the things I tried questioning phoenix radios about. Their website says it's android 4.x.x and I was wondering if that is accurate. The one I got came with android 6.0.1. Still a very outdated version of android but not as bad as 4.x lol. What launcher are you going to change to? Is there another one that is good for car radios? Perhaps that is why mine is rooted because it has already had the launcher changed, I don't know. I just wish they had disclosed the fact that it was rooted since some apps just won't work with a rooted device. I've asked them if there is a way to remove the root and they are checking into it for me.

Hello! I’ve read through your thread, wow! I just installed one of these units, but purchased on eBay. My unit is working, downloaded the software for Apple CarPlay and so far I’m pretty happy, but steering wheel controls don’t work and none of the buttons along the bottom work except the hazards and door locks. I can’t even turn it off!

Sync 1. Thought I replied, but you’ve commented in my thread, so we have a bit of overlap. Buttons on the bottom aren’t functioning.

oh ok.. you've to check the pins of hazard connector

 

[GD70]

Hazard and door locks work, none of the others.

I posted this in my thread, but figured I’d ask you here as well. Can you use Apple CarPlay while listening to the radio? I want to have WAZE on my screen while driving, but have the radio on . CarPlay always overrides the radio. I’ll have WAZE open in CarPlay, hit the radio button to hear news and 5 seconds it switches back to CarPlay. Any idea how to have both work at the same time?

 

[MarcusFoFo]

yes, probably there's a cocurrency policy. But, you have a standalone android radio, why are you using waze from you phone?

Can I download WAZE for the android radio and will it work properly? I looked it up on the web, didn’t find a concrete answer. Thanks!

Contributing this older thread, I'm having an issue getting my reverse camera to show up. Guide lines show up but no picture and this is on my oem reverse camera. Seller sends me instructions for hooking up another camera but I'm not interested in doing that. The datalink is plugged into the unit but no luck. Everything else works fine though.

 

[MarcusFoFo]

if you click on the reverse screen, you can edit the configurations
