This is the first Tesla screen I have seen for the Cruze that requires cutting up the dash. Think I'll get another unit. Nice video on the rest of the install. 🖖
Thank u so much, just got my 2012cruze and was trying to find a radio replacement w back up camera option and this seems perfect 🥰 Much appreciation from NB 🎉 Also, how's the quality or back up camera? There are 2 options in the site, which one is better or is it worth it?

I can’t be sure, but I believe it should be a part of the factory harness that plugs into the new radio.

At 06:18 I saw that you trimmed your panel to fit the multimedia wires,theirs no need to do that cause you can adjust all these wires by unscrewing the 4 little screws behind the multimedia and move all these plugs down.

Hey! I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze LT with the Pioneer speaker system. This is the first model year that was required to have a backup camera, so my dashboard looks different. Instead of that small LCD screen, it’s a 7 inch screen. The physical buttons are exactly the same. I would have to mount the wireless backup camera to the license plate of my car. The factory backup camera cannot connect to this infotainment system. I was wondering if, besides the backup camera, do you know if everything else is still compatible?

Just installed one yesterday. For the love of God people, do not cut anything. You do not need to cut anything. I would bet anything his modules coming off the wiring harness were hitting and you snip the zip tie holding the wires together, you can drop them lower and through the groove in the middle of the mounting area where nothing hits.

My radio looks identical to the one in the video and I ran into the same problem where the heat sink is hitting the old mounts. I made sure it wasn't hitting any of the wiring or anything because I actually read your comment before I installed mine but yup... the heat sink is definitely touching and preventing the bottom screw holes from reaching. I could probably ask Seicane to send me the proper one for my car but I didn't want to wait so I just cut it like he did.
