Don't panic!

I'm assuming you've recovered the screw and antenna? You'll need those...


No, it would still be the passenger side trim piece. (Passenger side is... the opposite of driver side, regardless of whether the driver is on the left or right.) But this doesn't matter too much; the point of removing that panel is so you can route the audio line from the UAD unit to the AUX port inside the armrest. I believe you could do this on either side.

I also routed the USB line (with an extension cable) into the armrest via this route. But that's also up to you... you could leave it dangling from the passenger side footwell if you didn't care.

Some have sandwiched the UAD unit in between the screen and the nav unit. It just fits, and will stay there securely. I opted to place the UAD unit behind the screen and nav unit. There's plenty of space back there; it's less secure as it's not physically mounted or held by anything but it kind of just lies on a cushion of other cables. I did this because I didn't want to block the ventilation of the nav and screen.

As for connecting wires, refer to the instructions, it has everything you need to know. Take your time and double check all the cables. And test it out by powering on the car before replacing the console pieces. It took me a few tries as there are a lot of cables to connect and it's easy to miss one.

I would not skip this, as you'll need to connect via wire first before being able to set up wireless. You'll also need it for firmware updates.


Also, don't forget that UAD has support available via chat or email. Don't worry, this is all totally doable, you'll get there.

 

Like Malbec I have to switch to factory screen for reverse camera , what dip switch settings have you set to get the camera working?

 

Thanks! I will give it another shot today. The antenna was recovered after a few tries, but the screw was no where to be found, shouldn't be hard to find a replacement though, and I didn't hear any rattle driving around, thanks God.

 

I don’t remember what the settings are but it was delivered to me with the correct settings as verified against the instructions. Check your instructions, they should tell you what all the different settings do. If it still doesn’t work reach out to UAD support.

 

Okay guys, I fitted all the wires and fired it up, after setting up it turned to the car play display, but the touch screen doesn't work?? Touch works perfect on the factory page, I tried playing music, it does go through and the now playing icon was moving. I tried navigation on Google maps and it doesn't jump to the navigation page.

i tried skipping track on the steering wheel and it worked???

Not sure what I'm missing, I tried deleting blue tooth connection and redo it, now I'm having trouble to connect it..

Also the size factory side bezel buttons don't work, I have the hard button version and yes, the connector is plugged in.

I'm in the process to reset car play completely and see how it goes.

Edit: oh and the reverse camera does come up automatically during the brief time I was in car play mode, this is gonna be sweet once I set up everything, can't wait!!!

Edit 2: I don't think any connection is missing


Edit: I got the touch to work, but it stopped working after awhile.. Can't figure out what's wrong

 

Somehow everything started to work after I assembled things back, forgot to screw the NAV unit down so will have to do it again.

Now there are 2 problems, I emailed their support but maybe you guys knwo better

1) no sound goes though until I make a call(intermittent)
2) carplay interface goes back to car interface once every 5minutes(connection does not drop, pressing NAV key goes right back to carplay)

evrything else works flawlessly, including auto backup camera and music control on steering wheel, im guessing its because of my 2015 bosch unit?

 

Do you mean you're not hearing anything from CarPlay (music, turn by turn directions, Siri, etc.?) Do you have the audio out cable plugged into the AUX port and AUX selected as the source in your factory audio screen?

If you haven't done the above, I suspect you can only hear call audio because that's still going through the factory bluetooth phone connection? Otherwise I'm not sure.


I've had this happen, but only a few times and it wasn't persistent. It hasn't happened for me in a while...


In my setup, back and forward on the steering wheel will work if your phone is still connected to the car via bluetooth, and the factory audio is set to bluetooth. But I won't hear Siri (or nav guidance) this way, just music.

 

Okay that make sense now, I have been keeping the blue tooth connected so after making a call it switches to car blue tooth audio, that's why I can hear music afterward but not map directions.

Lemme try aux tomorrow and see how it goes. Thank you so much!

 

Everything works now except for the steering wheel music control (as expected), it's fantastic.

Screen jumping back to factory display was fixed by disabling "return home" function in factory display under "set up".

 

thread bump as UAD have a small sale for BF

what is the audio quality like via the aux input? is it the same as oe or worse

that's my only concern, especially after going through the hassle of upgrading all my 770w speakers in the doors to the kevlar meridian versions

seems like all the glitches with reverse camera and screen switching have been solved now

 

Least I can say is the sound is not worse than before(bluetooth), I dont feel any difference.

Im still playing with the settings, right now if I set everything to car play, phone call volume is very low(out going), i think it pick up the voice from the included mic.

So now I keep the bluetooth connected, so phone calls can be answered via steering wheel button, and it goes through factory mic. On the music side, have it connected through car play.

If it remembers my selection it is near perfect, only down side will be not having sterring wheel music control.

The system has been stable so far, a few minutes into start up, there will be a hiccup in music for a second or so, it does not come back afterward so all is fine. connection has been solid, never a drop. Load time is not instant but more than livable. Screen response can be choppy(especially when scrolling through recent calls), not sure the fault of the system or factory screen itself.

Youtube music won't load sometimes, not sure its the system or the app itself.

overall im extremely satisfied and would definitely recommend it for everyone.

 

I’ve noticed no difference. Make sure you get a ground loop isolator, as recommended in the other thread.

 

anyone got a solution for low volume(out going phone call)? I literally have to yell or get face to face with the included mic(I attached it near the hand brake area).

doesn't look like theres anything i can change in the setting, so the culprit should be the mic, the one included look like this:








never heard of it but looked it up, in our case the source is the UAD unit which shares the same power source as the speakers, so this will help audio quality? do you plug it into the car aux port and connect UAD headphone jack into it?

 

I haven’t had a volume issue, but I have noticed that the sound quality from the UAD mic isn’t the best. I *believe* that if you continue to pair the phone with the Jag via Bluetooth you retain factory phone functionality, including the use of the factory mic. You bypass the CarPlay handling of phone calls entirely and can use the steering wheel phone buttons. And if this is true you could still have Siri initiate a call, but have it handled through the factory system. I have been meaning to test all this out, but haven’t done so as I rarely make phone calls...


Yes, you can put it on either end of the audio cable. I put mine in between the UAD unit and the cable, so it could be hidden inside the console. I didn’t bother testing with it on and off, but it should remove any buzzing/humming you hear from the audio.

 

Hi , are you talking about being unable to hear your phone call when you are making a call or that the person you are talking to is unable to hear you despite you being able to hear them at a normal volume?
I have that Mic installed near the starter button and have no issues. Given the mic can actually pick up your voice it probably isn’t faulty because if faulty it would not work at all.
I suspect you need to see if your phone connection is going through the OEM Bluetooth or going through Bluetooth/wifi via CarPlay unit. If via the CarPlay unit it will be the same volume so I bet you have the opposite set up.

If via OEM system the the input volume will be different. You will have to go into the home menu settings and choose setup then audio presets and adjust the phone level and aux level . The aux level is also affect by the master volume setting within the CarPlay unit under settings as well so could adjust overall volume from either of these two point.

Another way to test is to go into your Bluetooth settings on your phone a get it to forget / delete your direct connection with the car. This will force your phone to only be able to work via the CarPlay unit and should fix your issue. Once confirmed this is your problem you can leave it like this or go back via OEM and adjust the settings as suggested above so you can use the steering wheel phone buttons

Hope this helps

ps :For everyone I only have the base audio system but pretty happy with the sound now as the inbuilt graphic equaliser can tweak the system and tighten it up for mid bass punch at quite moderate levels. High levels still has lower bass distortion as before but that’s at a level that drowns out the exhaust to give you an idea of the volume I’m talking about. Worth doing this upgrade just for this really imho.

 

Fuzzy what you said are correct, I have tried both, when I keep bluetooth connected, phone call is good, my voice gets picked by the factory mic and the person im talking to hears me clearly speaking at normal volume. it also keeps the steering wheel buttons fuctional. Down side though, music stops after every phone call, AND I have to manually select audio input on my phone(it defaults to bluetooth music so no music will go through) every time I start the car, AND navigation voice guidance will conflict with your speech(it speaks at normal volume making conversation hard).

Now without connecting to bluetooth, everything is seamless, BUT the out going volume is very low(the person im speaking to cant hear me clearly without me yelling or speaking very close to the UAD mic). I was hoping there are some magic settings that I missed but apparently not.

Now I can't think of a closer place to mount it, time to order a better mic and dig into it again...

 

Which end have you put your ground loop isolator? . If you have put it close to the unit end are you sure you haven’t put it in the microphone line instead of the aux wire? Failing this I would also try a new microphone

 

I haven't tried a ground loop isolator yet, pretty sure I plugged in the mic to the right port though. I will add the ground loop isolator it when I install the new mic, I found one shipping from taiwan described as "super high audio quality", hopefully it arrives soon and work.

 

Received my new mic, plugged it into my laptop and it is lower sounding than my built in mic..not sure if it is gonna be better installed on the car.

Also installed the ground loop isolator, it seems to help clarify the sound a bit, but im not entirely sure, it is installed between the aux out cable and the car aux jack for now.

 

ground loop isolator is only going to get rid of a constant background him. Doesn’t happen to every installation so if no hum adding it won’t improve anything. If you do have a hum it works magic. Given it is $10 best to get it added for all installs regardless.

I had another thought about your problem. Are you sure you have plugged to stereo mini jack from the microphone in all the way into the module. If you have only plugged it in half way it will only work on a single channel And will be at 50% or single Chanel only so quieter.
