- Mine is from AliExpress in China. It cost $400. Free shipping. The gentleman I dealt with tested the unit before shipping and was very nice. I never spoke with him but we texted several times and his written English was great. It took about 15 days to arrive. The tracking updates on AliExpress doesn’t update most of the time, so it’s better to use the actual website of the company that is doing the shipping. AliExpress is a great site to use and I prefer them over EBay from the standpoint of issues/refunds. eBay can take weeks sometimes to get a refund. AliExpress has refunded me same day in the past.

You don't have to cut the dash. There are 4 screws on the main brain of the radio that you take out, move up the unit to the top, then replace the screws.
Also, if you have factory navigation you can reuse your stock Shark Fin with an adapter. You need to find and buy this:
SMA Male to Fakra C Male Blue Pigtail Cable RG316 6in/15cm Fakra C Plug to SMA Plug GPS Antenna Extension Cable for Vehicle GPS Navigation Car Radio Stereo
Does the T/C button control your suspension mode still?
Can you make the on screen hvac controls dissappear? Also do you have the bose system from factory?
Thank you for this video, very helpful. Do you know how I'd go about connecting the factory reverse camera to this unit? It appeared that you had wired the camera that came with the kit, but I'm hoping to re-use the existing camera and/or wiring. Thanks!
@Mareno The Car Guy - Have you solved for the beeps when you turn the key to run? I sent you some emails about my install.
What do tools do you need for this install?
Keep it up I’m going to do this to mines I like the look
Post them pics as you progress!!
Yoooooo I LIIIIKE IT!!
Thank you sir!!!
Any issues with rattling noses from all those wiring connections back there ? Would you do anything different if you had to do it again?
No rattle noises at all from the wiring. In regard to what I would do differently, I would say nothing. I really like the whole setup. I did install an amp and subs afterwards.
Nice Video. What about steering controls? Also what about the suspension button to change back and forth from sport?
Yooo I JUST grabbed this identical screen on ebay instead of direct from site and its from same seller just thru ebay page , was like $499. But yes bro, it has steering controls. Works just as if it were stock. Thank you my brotha Mareno "The Car SAVANT" not just some "car guy" bro, give urself way more credit and realize WHO u are bro, a KING but a damn CAR KING lol so Salute to u 🫡🫡🫡 cuz you got a brotha feeling like I can install or even just understand anything car related. You got a brotha ordering, what wifey 'ol school ass calls "Them Butterfly Doors" hahaha I had zero Pops growing up so never learned and no shop class in high school 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
One thing to know is you will lose the lil screens for the heated/cooling seats. Don't know if they show on main screen somehow, haven't gotten there yet lol but highly suggest you grab from ebay page to save dough.
I was on site to use Afterpay but it wasn't too user friendly as kept giving error but Ebay was all good, protected purchase and I used Afterpay THERE and split purchase into 4 which I use pay in 4 apps for every purchase over $100 and wifey and I love it! Grab This set up and completely changes the vibe of ur ride.
Any questions about purchase lemme know. My guy marenothecarguy got rest of questions 😂🤣😂
@@Obs3ssionz1977 be careful those eBay models have hardly have any memory and will probably freeze up with a bit
So you bought the base 32G model? I was looking at the 8+256G model. The only reason I haven't changed from stock is I didn't want the small screen to show in Celsius. This one solves for that.
Yep, I was very happy to find I was able to change it from Celsius and change the speed from kilometers. This thing is very fast with no lag time. Very happy with the product. Be careful about the 8+256G, all that means is that you can hook up an external hard drive up to 256G. It is not what you will have on the unit. It will still have only 4G of RAM.
@@marenothecarguy8361 Thanks for that! What format does the USB use? I'd like to put music on a USB drive and access it through the unit. Also how does the Cooled seats display when in use? I saw the Heated Option.
@@marenothecarguy8361 The 8-256 is Octa-Core with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. I loaded all 34GB of my music to the internal storage.
If you don’t get a days SIM card what will you loose.
Ill take tht old radio
Awesome setup mate and I think I'm going to do the same 10 inch display that you did. I currently have a double din sized android head unit that I put in 2 years ago and this setup is way better. How is the android in this setup so far with this head unit? Is the Bluetooth stable? Are the equalizer presets for subwoofer and what not decent?
Thank you!! I just posted a video of my initial thoughts and will be doing another one soon because I’m finding so many new and cool things to do on the radio. To your questions, it does have full equalizer control over all speakers and the sub. The Bluetooth has been stable. It seems to connect to Bluetooth right away and doesn’t randomly drop the connection.
Does this radio have Apple CarPlay built in?
Yes it does. I also have another CZcams video where I walk through all of the features and give some helpful advice.
Have u figured out how to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit
In the settings menu
Do the cadillac sts have a one
Yes there is. Also the cst for the STS one is much lower.
How can I purchase this type of screen/radio upgrade?
The link is in the description for the video.
Where you located? Can you do mine pleaseeee
