Installed the insane audio head unit. I took some pics of the install and was going to do a detailed write up but, I found on insane audios forums step by step video directions so there really isn’t a need. I will just share the issues/advice.
I was very impressed with the head unit. Like all things it looks better in person than in pictures. I was impressed with how thin the unit is. Coming from a person that swapped out double din big boxes all my life the unit is very light and thin. All the connectors are very well built and you only need to make 2 wire connections for the install for the reverse camera....kinda.
A good trim removal set helps to get the climate control panel off. Then you only need a Phillips to take the radio out and a star bit to take the A pillar trim pieces to run the gps antenna.
one problem I had, I tested the unit before I buttoned everything up and it was good to go. I went in reverse, no back-up camera. I just had a no signal triangle. I popped the unit back out and double checked all my connections and they were solid. I did some research and found out there is a B+ wire that needs to be included in the wire connection that was omitted from the instruction both written and video. i will attach a pic for others for future reference. The camera works perfect now but you do lose your factory parking line aides...not a bad deal but I knew some were wondering.
Also, I bought this unit for all the apps and to have Apple car play. Upgrading from a 5” screen. I was also excited to have Netflix for the kids for road trips. Well, the google play store for the insane doesn’t support the latest version of Netflix and not available. But, in the forum section on insanes web site they have a link to an older Netflix app. This link worked perfect from the crome browser using the insane audio to download, and now I have Netflix.
it is a new unit and granted, a learning curve for me. I am happy so far with the purchase but need more hands on time and familiarly to give it a better review. If anyone had any questions about the unit or want to know anything let me know I am happy to help.
