The brown fakra z connector for the DAB. Do you of any issues using these with the usb DAB adapters that you can get for these android head units? The usb adapters state 5v active antenna voltage and I cannot find any information about what active voltage the Nissan fitted DAB aerialS use. I am hoping it's as straightforward as buying another male-to-male adapter cable, like you used for the GPS.
Great video, it really helps, when I touch the button on the steering wheel or when the car is in reverse it seems that the camera app freezes and I have to switch off the car, do you know a fix for this? do I have to upgrade firmware or is it something else? I did switch the camera to NTSC in settings to get a good image. I also connect a dab+ USB adapter to the head-unit and it starts immediately to play, is there a way to switch that off?
Hi, thank you so much for your video!! It works great. I have a question: the message’s language when using the parking camera appears in, I think, Turkish, but the rest of the radio is in English, including the factory menu. Any suggestion on how to fix it ?? I have tried with the language setting in the factory and outside menu

Hello, was wondering if you can help me, I wanted to had a underseat sub which also uses rca cable, so if AUX L OUT and AUX R OUT sends single from andriod unit to AUX L IN and AUX R IN to send out sound to car speakers what do the other two cables on the 20 pin do? The AUX L IN and AUX R IN? would this be for the sub?

Tried this yesterday but my cars connectors are different with only 1 fitting.

Whichever app is set to default navigation Maps or Waze, when launched no sound on navigation when sound set to "mixing". it's like it's trying but no sound comes out. if I launch either app from app drawer, I get sound but not mixed sound. it just plays over whatever is playing in background. any ideas how to fix.

Hi I came across your video and it's a fantastic tutorial so thankyou. I do have a question, I retrofitted a mmi in my BMW and the audio output was via aux which affected the sound quality compared to stock.

Seems they have changed the USB extension to a single. Tbh I didnt need even the 1 extra USB(never fitted), especially when your centre console one works too. If FM isn't working, make sure the FM antenna hasn't popped out. There no latch on it. Give it a reboot too and try again.
