10,25 screen Info and install Pictures

GJC400

That looks slick! Thanks for sharing install photos.

sentralfyr

Thank you very much.
I have not sorted the picture, they where just thrown in the album to have them for sharing
I will try to make a guide later.
Just have to figure out all the functions first.

Has anyone installed this on a C350e (hybrid?)

How do you switch between this system and the OEM functionality?

sentralfyr

Installation on a Hybrid is probably the same as any car, you only add a couple of cables

To switch to oem you only click "Car Device" then you have the OEM screen, and you can use it as normal.
The 10,25"screen works as an Android Phone with Touch

I guess that's a 'managable' nuisance. Most of the info can also be viewed in the dash itself ofcourse. I'm in doubt if we should get these or not :p It's nice that all other oem controls etc keep functioning.

How do you switch back from normal to this display?

Can you use original Garmin navigation on the car, can I install Here Maps an use it liko on the phone?

sentralfyr

Yes,you can use the Garmin Navigation as normal and you can use any maps/navigation you like, i have testet navigon and google maps on the android.
I really do not know if you can cange from km/h to miles and C to Farenheit

You will NOT loose any of the OEM

sentralfyr

There is a home button(A House in upper left corner) or the "back Button upper right)
The Screen works as an Android Touch phone

From 1-10, how would you rate the experience over OEM?

on:
- Sound quality (is audio output same quality as before?)
- Image quality (same/lower/better resolution?)
- Usability (Does the screen react promptly to your input by touch? and via the controller?)
- Noises? (ie fan or something in the housing?)
- Reaction time of system vs OEM?


Any other pro's/con's you can tell about?

glavas

Can you make some video how it works.

sentralfyr

OEM sound is exactly the same, but on the screen you can adjust the volume of several things, so when i play Spotify, i have louder sound than the OEM.(my Burmeister rocks with Spotify ;-) )
Image quality Is better
The usability is ok, but if you switch for example from OEM to spotify , the unis use some seconds to switch audio source, but thats no problem for me, and you use the controller for OEM and touch for the screen
and i think the reaction is quite fast,it uses some time to load navigation, but the OEM navigation has to load too
NO Noises at all, except if you turn up sounds in the scree you han hear some Buzzing somtimes, you just have to turn down the volume a little bit.There are No fans
Reaction time of system vs OEM, are about the same

sentralfyr

There is lot of videos on youtube
Maybe i can do it later

10,25 screen Videos

dheruer

Well that all sounds acceptable to me as well

What happens when you are in android mode and you use the controller wheel or the touchpad? Will that allow the OEM system to go through settings etc without you seeing it?

sentralfyr

The Controller wheel/touchpad only works with the OEM,and as far as i know nothing happens until you push the controller wheel, i do not remember, but i will test.
I will come back with some more asnwers when i have tested.

It is a bit learning by doing ,-)

TorbenK

But why? Just a video from my drive way uploaded to YouTube.

TorbenK

Arh.. Just because the radio is playing some random music in the background owned by Sony.
BS!

sentralfyr

The screen also support MPH and Farenheit

sentralfyr

Now i figured it out ;-) This box is connected to one of the USB connections in the armrest, i used number 1

dheruer

Has that increased stability with mirroring?

sentralfyr

The phone mirroring has not anything to do with this box, only sound
