DUDU7 11.5 inch on 2008 GL450
All,
I have managed to install 11.5 inch DUDU7 on my 2008 GL and everything is working. Sound working. 360 Cameras working. ADAS working. TPMS working and best of all even Video to rear head monitors working. All of this is fantastic. Ask me anything. In coming days I would post videos and Images. Sorry I used outside company to install 360 camera as running wires was too much. I installed unit myself and it was super easy like any other android HU you can install. Spend 600$ on alibaba for DUDU and accessories and 500$ for 360 camera install. Over all this car is in great shape. Some SRS Restraint warning came up when installer installed it and I am trying to reset it. Also ordered 360 calibration cloth and once that arrives I would share more 360 camera pictures. It's amazing system and I have 2024 G63 and 2021 GT63 and this one gives MBUX run for it's money.
More to come. Stay tuned.

Ok almost done. Still some calibration of camera pending
As promised sharing videos of my 2008 GL450 with everything factory except android HU system with Dudu 7, TPMS external(original factory still in wheels) ADAS , 360 cameras and factory rear headset monitor connection.
first time creating videos on YouTube so be patient if it doesn’t cover it all. But video does justice vs photos for this setup. Created playlist below.

I hear you. However this being a family car I underestimated the value of screens. There is not a single day since Dec 2024 when I installed the headunit, that family has not watched youtube videos or Prime even on 20-30 mins drives. The 360 and upgraded reverse and front camera are big time safety upgrades. With eyes getting old bigger screen and higher res are sure a safety thing more than bells and whistles. Anyway if anyone needs to accomplish this ask me. I can refer to right products that made it easy.

Yes. I would update the Video and may be clean up the video as one video vs all and attach all parts used. For now here is the adapter.

oh wow this is super clever, i didnt know that type of usb can output video to RCA. I havent taken apart the rear entertainment system before, so the dvd player in the middle under the center console just has RCA cables that you were able to plug into?
My other concern with replacing the head unit was that I wont be able to set the clock in the dash, were you able to figure that out too?

I have three kids, we didn’t let them have any screen time in vehicles, look outside, talk with other people in the car.

The best way to handle this is to reach out DUDU7 on alibaba and then whatsapp. Send them your car model and then they would ship you with right canbus box and faceplate for install. Everything works in my car. It's like 2025 Range Rover and I chose to install 360 camera and DVR as well so my car is completely transformed. I was about to sell it but I can easily keep it for another 5 years as mechanical I just keep changing oil and shocks.
