thanks bud, there were times i needed help when i was younger, and people would helped , so im giving back to help others,

just added a ulluminated button which switches between stock sat nav to media center

 

Fantastic job. Look forward to see how u did it. Not that I would be able to copy.

 

im gathering pics for step by step

 

I have a 2007 x type without navigation. it is pre wired for phone, but its not activated. I'm looking to have nav/sat installed, have the phone activated and have remote start installed. I'm in CT too, how can I contact you to discuss?

 

Hi Dennis, Great post with loads of info for anyone wanting to try this modification. I would love to do it but unfortunately I cannot get the NavTool unit in the UK and the company wont ship it here. Do you know of any other video interface adapters that could work, that I might be able to source here.

this is the backup camera at night

 

Mannnn this is too sweet!!! I have the Mirroring in my Range Rover Sport via Kivic one. Is that what you used? I don't have to have the multimedia system as you, but do want to know what you did for the Mirroring. I just want that & reverse camera...

GREAT STUFF MAN!!!

 

my mirroring is done by my multimedia system ,its built in which is a added bonus

 

What's the multimedia system exactly? I may have missed it in your 1st post, but if you don't mind sharing, what is it again?..

 

this is the box i used wdtv ,with screen mirroring

\

 

Thanks Dennis; I'm trying to decide between that (WDtv hub) or Tronsmart...

Tronsmart Draco AW80 Full Review Plus Detailed Be…: http://youtu.be/cXqa5w6BunE

 

the tronsmart is a nice unit , does it have screen mirroring , i also have the minix unt not very stable so went back to wdtv

 

Yes it does Airplay, DNLA, Mirroring. It has an Octo-Processor, 4gig DDR3 RAM, 32G ROM. Very stable from all I've seen...

 

nice,on my set up im able to swtch from android to wdtv

 

I went for this setup, very similar outcome;
Part 1 Andriod install Part 1
Part 2 Android/Reverse Camera Install Part 2
Might get a separate DVD player in the future as it just plugs into a spare port in the video interface!!
