Hey
@ daytonaviolet
, can you elaborate a bit on how the T9 interacts with your phone? It looks like this unit has a full-blown Android OS with it's own apps and connectivity to the app store. Do you have to log into apps like Netflix ON the head unit? Or are you simply utilizing the apps on your phone to connect? Furthermore, if you're utilizing the app within the head unit does that mean you have to use your phone hotspot to give it internet connectivity?
I am leary of logging into accounts on a secondary device that sits in my car...

You talking about the "Tesla" tablet conversion ? Was it really $2k ? I thought that was cheaper. And couldn't agree more with you ... Unless one.gets an early version or the unicorn "Hawaiian" LC, dealing with HVAC and radio is a PITA.
BTW.... how long you had the Hundy and what are your thoughts 4R vs LC100 ?
Cheerios !

The stock system was fine for a few months but I miss CarPlay, and the app I just got for offline gps Gaia, is integrating to CarPlay, that’s what sealed the deal.
I seriously considered the T9, but I’m saving a couple hundred by keeping what I have. Also, as silly as it may sound, I like the big blanks on either side of the dash kit. Don’t get me wrong, they look like crap, but I plan on adding some switches and phone mounts to the sides.
I like this sticky back mount.
Coming from my 100 series LC, I’m just relieved I didn’t have to spend 2k to convert to manual climate controls again.

Just saw this reply now .. sorry for delay.
Yes it’s basically an android tablet. So things like Netflix, Amazon prime .. you sign in once and it remembers your login. I have a dedicated t-mobile SIM card for the android apps. Hot spot is a option but I have not tried that yet l.
One of the apps I use 90% of the time is Autokit.apk which launches CarPlay. Anything running in CarPlay uses data from the iphone.

Bump. What are people installing these days?
Reading this thread I just learned some headunits can read ODB2 data..how cool is that? So the display could list TPMS data for instance..is it smart enough to show you the PSI for each tire? I have a 2015 so I 'm not sure what is possible with the stock TPMS.
I guess the holy grail would be a headunit that could also function as the brain for a dashcam and rear backup camera, ODB2 info and of course you can listen to music

My Kenwood DMX does all that plus sooo much more. Its truly amazing with the maestro data link.
It can read and clear codes, give PSI and tire/intake/exhaust temp. I also have front and rear cameras for it. No CD player though. lol

Just have to cruise Crutchfield and look at the specs. Kenwood makes dashcam capable units with their own cams but I think you can only view the video on the headunit, not control the cam.

I've been wanting to do a lower end pioneer with apple carplay but with chip shortages every time I feel like pulling the trigger nobody has anything available. I already put Infinity speakers in all the stock locations and have a powered sub in the back. Which made a huge difference but I never liked the stock head unit.

I like the looks of that. Not a horrible price point either considering all the stuff you have to get to install an aftermarket unit.

How are the car sensor features? Tpms? Read/clear codes? Sense open doors? Interior/exterior temp? Can you set it to always display current speed limit signs without running a maps app?

The Alpine Halos and the higher end Pioneers can enable settings access, not sure about monitoring though.
Aftermarket Stereo Upgrade: Alpine Halo iLX-F509 or Sony XAV-9500ES?

That looks good. First one I’ve seen that looks like an OEM fit. Does it display OBDII readings?

I just installed a tablet that is connected to stock unit through BT. Can use for OBD2 scanner, navigation, music, and a bunch of other things.
