@@andrive thanks very much

@@kyleseppala383 make sure it's grounded. Improper grounds cause a lot of problems. Check your connections. Ultimately mine was plug and play. For the steering wheel controls. You can also manually program them through one of the apps on the head unit. I think it's called "controls". Finally if you're still having problems. Contact Eonon customer support. I reached out to them once when I needed to update my firmware over the Air. They were helpful and responded.

@@anthonyl4894 gps antenna unnecessary unless you're using the head unit with cell service alone ( without a phone). It has the ability to be used as a standalone system. If you have the phone connected by Android auto or Apple carplay then it will use the phone GPS automatically. For the microphone. There's one built into the face of the unit. Next to the power button. Works well.

@@GoodmorningGoodnight thank you for the quick update!!

@@afeudale hahah. Thanks. It was fun

Dude. I can only imagine. I did a pretty wet autocross there one time in my convertible. NJ rules are you have to run with the top down even if it's raining. Weird right. Anyway, I had some pretty good video of rooster tail spray coming out the rear of the car.

@@GoodmorningGoodnightonly been a handful of times when I’ve seen safety sign off on tops up. But yeah probably waited a good 2-3 hours before they called it. According to some apps lighting actually struck Bader field like 3-4 times

@@ZenonMotorsports probably for the best then hahaha

My gen2 doesn't have usb or aux in the center console. But the head unit does have those inputs. So you could just get a small adapter.

Thanks. I still need to edit up the follow-up video to this for the 2024 Pro solo. Spoiler. I did a little better.

Yes, most of the steering wheel controls are supported. Volume , slip track etc.

Thanks you for the support. I'm slowly but surely adding content

Very cool. I'm always interested in the little shortcuts people can use.

Falken Azenis 255/35 18 fronts. Falken Azenis 285/30 18 rears. I have smaller and lighter 18-in rims in the rear to accommodate better acceleration. I tried switching over to bridgestone's in the same sizes as the Falkens. But no such luck. The fronts mounted on my rims but Bridgestone 285s are actually wider than the Falkens and wouldn't seat on Enkei PF01 Wheels

Thanks. I'm happy with it

It says it can. I haven't tried yet. You'll need a WiFi network nearby or cast wifi from your phone

Nice - that's a good alternative. My only concern is, if it's identical, it may flake after a few years as well. But it's an easy enough change do it if you have to change it again. Makes the engine bay look so much better.

haha - thank you. My "dad" jokes on full display!

I learned from others and sharing what I've learned. Welcome to the club!

It is not adjust for height. It just moves forward and backwards on the sliders. But I will say my wife who is 5ft2in and myself who is 5ft10in can both use the car without adjusting seat height. Just adjusting the slider forward and backwards

Yes. I'm very happy with mine

I've not had that code. Is your car an automatic? I think it's specific to the automatic. I'd have it checked by the dealership to see if the car has the latest "firmware" programming for the transmission. Also make sure you don't have a low battery as that causes all sorts of strange codes. I wish you good luck on your diagnosis. Let us know what you've found! These cars like to be driven. Hopefully after some miles on the road it doesn't come up again.

@@GoodmorningGoodnight ....2014 auto n/a......reading forms gave me 5 diff things...only had 24k miles ...bout with 18k miles.....forms leading to ground wire.......anyway u from the area...im from PA.....i seen ya one vid with the lion head beer lol.....do u cruze with other lotus owners?

@@nuddahundo83 would love to cruise but haven't found too many Lotus owners round here. Let me know if there's anything going on! Lol

Cheers! Thanks for the support!

Mine has the Bose system and it works great

Also are you on Instagram?

That's awesome. Super glad it worked out for you. We're slowly building some grass roots support for the Evora.

@@Unavailable80 instagram.com/p/Ch3hLYSMeUMBBsW5CpXpukxVGsSmwlh18UbSq40/?igsh=MXgzZ3Fua3NmandmeA== Yes. But I'm not very active.

I'm not using Aux on my install. But I believe there are multiple other inputs for Aux on the back of the unit.

Glad I could help! It's an awkward thing, the way it's designed and where it's placed in the car.

@@GoodmorningGoodnight I found a smear of silicon grease on the inside mating surfaces on each end of the convoluted hose assembly made refitting a lot easier.

Great advice - I'll be back at the track soon to try it!

HAHA I should work for FEDEX! lol. I realized once I took the parts out that they're pretty stout. 11 gauge (0.090”) is what CorkSport advertises.

I have a Plack exhaust! Came with the car from the previous owner. It's as loud as you'd want it to be.

@@GoodmorningGoodnight Did they get the car tuned after it?

@@super679theoriginal not that I know of. The Plack is supposed to work without at tube. Louder and much lighter than stock. Also deletes one of the 3 catalytic converters. My biggest problem with the Plack is that it's actually a little bit droney on highway trips. The drone occurs right around 3,000 RPM. But that's pretty much where you are on the highway all the time. And unless you shift down to a lower gear and run the RPMs up to 4,000rpm that drone pretty much is there. So if you are going to do a lot of commuting in your car, I don't recommend the plack exhaust

I heard it rattle one time under hard braking. But that was it. Nothing since. No rock noises.

Will do in the future perhaps. In the mean time. These studs weight less

I had an issue on track where I was taking an aggressive line over a curb and after that my wheel had a shimmy. It felt like it was out of balance. I thought maybe I had lost a wheel weight. But no. I just had to loosen the wheel bolts and then tighten them back down and it re-centered the wheel. So I'm definitely on board for a bit More torque on the wheels.

Yoooooo IS THAT what the clicking is??? Ive been doing manual spec torque, but last time I heard clicking I took a look and found a rear right axle boot rip. I attributed it to that, but it has come back! I'm going to torque down and I'll check back in in a month. Unless I have another boot rip 😅

Yeah, I don't understand why Lotus suggested such a low torque number. Unless they were using grease on the threads or something

My honest review is that I'm very happy with the new head unit but I bought it used from a friend. I'm thinking if did not have access to the used model I would go for a newer model that had wireless Apple CarPlay or wireless Android auto. That would be my only change. I do like the Alpine unit and I would just make sure that any new Alpine would use the same connectors. What I'm saying is don't feel like you need to search out this specific model to be a happy. I would recommend other alpine models as long as they have the similar connector.

Thank you for your quick reply very helpful please don't stop doing your KZbin videos and its also good seeing your kids helping you on the Evora.

Excellent. I'll take a look at that!

Mine worked as soon as I plugged in the unit. Didn't have to do anything

Don’t know what I’m doing wrong then

@@kylalawes3865 try one of two things. First. I think there's a app that allows you to program the buttons on your steering wheel if they didn't work automatically. And two email support at Eonon, I found them to be pretty responsive. And finally, make sure that you have the most updated firmware by connecting to a Wi-Fi network and downloading it.

@@kylalawes3865there should be can box which is small square thing that connects to one of the wire and it workes

I believe they will grow up with good memories of working on the car!

Thank you

Got me!

Great point. That makes things even simpler

my unit has a red cable coming from camera and a pink cable that says 12v coming from the actual stereo. Do i connect those together? And where do i connect the ground wire?

Just picked up an eonon unit for a Mazda 3. So I can run both power and video up to the front and connect video to the yellow rca connector and the red power to the pigtail? What about the black ground wire?

My experience has been very good. There are lots of little things to adjust, but nothing that stops the car from being reliable. I will say, get yourself a battery tender. Battery will discharge over time if not driven weekly/monthly.

Thank you for the support! More to come.

Yes. Everything works. I did Pan and Pan and fade to check. Mine is Bose too. Try swapping them around. The labels on the audio outs are confusing

​@@GoodmorningGoodnight I've switched them around multiple times and I still get nothing on the front speakers. Totally annoyed that they don't work

@@outbackjedi7772 dang. Sorry to hear. I would contact customer service for support or return

Sometimes the universe provides! Glad you saw it. I love making the videos. So gonna keep doing it 😁

I hope to share many more with you

Thank you!

Ah. That makes sense. Saw that there. Actually my air conditioning is excellent. I get frozen if I turn it up to max. I was worried with stories of British engineering and hot air conditioning but was pleasantly surprised when I put it on. I wonder if yours might have a slight leak.

Yes. Success! I've done it. Here's the link 😀 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKGlpJJ9hdKtftUsi=FXxCuaFQLIMjxMns

Of course, sorry about that. I was thinking after I tried to do a clutch bleed on my Evora 400 that I would love to see one done by someone with good production value like you. The 400 doesn't allow access to the clutch slave bleeder from the bottom, so you need to go in from the top and somehow reach down in on the front of the engine--without being able to see what you are reaching for--all the while kneeling in the trunk. I was able to get my finger (one finger) on it twice in two hours of trying and so decided it best to take to the dealer. I realize your car is different than mine--it's been a long winter, I guess. Love your channel!!!

@@rfgf1rfgf1 Even without the supercharger I tried from the top a little bit and it was hard to do. Certainly more doable with than NA engine rather than the 400. But if I were to do it again I do it from the bottom again I think

Unfortunately yes. Unless you can string some wire through from the top to pull it back into shape.

Aha. Or is it the turn signal LEDs that can't be replaced? I thought I read that somewhere

Thank you. She's well driven. I autocross and track drive her. So she's certainly not a garage queen. But the car looks good from every angle. This video I made when I got her is nothing but panning shots. Maybe you'll like it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYPTemxuaJ6apKM

There are replacement USB and aux ports. So yes. You can still use em
