916tundra Audio System Build

Agreed, I never would have picked it up if you didn't first.

 

@jmevis where did you put your ground? Any ground loop noise for you?

 

You know what I didn't run the ground. I probably should. Especially since Im planning on going the amp route too.

 

Surprised your HU works without running the ground cable, now I’m wondering if it’s even needed.

 

Thaught this was cool

 

Just got this system in the mail today. I'm wiring in the multi-cam switcher and the truck accessory module as well. Quick question: did you use the mic that came with the unit, or does the stock mic plug in via a harness connection in the back?

 

I had it installed they used the new Mic but let me know if you figure out how to use the factory one also can you post a link for the cam switcher I want one I also got the accessory controller havent installed it yet tho also dont forget to get a hdmi/USB outlet installed and get a meastro module works great

 

@916tundra Installed my front facing camera yesterday. I went with a different one from Amazon from what I linked previously. It looks stock which I like. Also here is a pic of the app (bottom left) in fact all 3 apps in that bottom row showed up on their own after I messed with the Car Factory Settings on the HU.

 

How is the front cam powered?

 

But the HU. There is a yellow "F-Cam Power" wire.

 

I just ordered this cable, hopefully it will work for the factory USB port in the center console. I want to hide the carplay adapter behind the dash too. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-LOCjifrsP3m/p_120TOYUSB/Metra-AX-TOYUSB-USB-Port-Cable.html

 

@jmevis Looking good! I have not installed a front camera yet because I am thinking of adding a side view camera for parallel parking too but I won’t do so until I figure out if I want tow mirror or not. If you have multiple cameras, you will need switches.

 

@jmevis can you post a link to the new front camera you got?

Let me know if this cable works out for you.

 

@916tundra The cable works! I went ahead and installed the carplay adapter behind the HU too. Can you tell me what app you use to get carplay to work?

I tested this and the phone will charge plugged in to the OEM usb port. I haven't tried to play anything through it yet. Im just assuming its working since it now charges the phone. And the adapter lights up.

 

Man that HU looks SHWEEET! i have 18CM SPORT for about a year now and its about that time to swap out my HU. How are you liking it so far?

 

@jmevis The app is AutoPlay, one of the preloaded apps on the HU

 

@jmevis the way you have it plugged in is into the factory cable that is not connected to the HU so that’s why it doesn’t work. There is power but no data transfer. You have to use the HU usb.

 

Love it its perfect video looks good to tons of options and great xm interface

 

Did you do the install yourself?

 

Yeah. But I think the adapter I bought is supposed to use the factory usb cable. After I installed the adapter the factory usb connection will now charge the phone. I’ll try this later today.

 

@916tundra mine didn’t come with the app loaded... can you snap a pic of it?

 

No I had it installed there was alittle to much going on for me

 

Theres a amp gain seting on my head unit that you can set and it realy made the difference

 

@916tundra

Ok I went in to settings and enabled car play but I still don't have the app. Nor is there one in the play store that is called that. I did figure out how to keep the volume up when in reverse though. Settings > Car > Extra Settings > Reversing Volume.

Also for what ever reason when one of my rear doors opened the display would show the opposite door open, and I found that setting under factory features so that's now fixed.

I did see something about customer version 1 or 2? Under the factory settings?

Another question... Have you tried playing netflix, hulu, Amazon prime video on your HU? Mine loads these and then says there is an issue and wont play videos. But youtube works fine. I have even tried to just go to hulu through chrome and it takes me all the way to where is should play and then spits out an error.

 

Unfortunately the only way is to change out the head unit. The stock unit has no ability to control the amp.
