Hi! Does the on-board computer display work and show functions such as radio or Bluetooth? The buttons on the steering wheel and the answer or reject call buttons on the steering wheel lever also work? And the most important question is, does the radio support the German language? Thank you!

[@TheMeisner87]

Hey on the buttons work and onboard computer show aux when you watch movies and radio also works like they should.About the language i cant tell because the car is 140 km from where i live,but i think ot supports it.its like a normal android then i think it can be changed.

[@Flyn-Mirabell]

​@@TheMeisner87 The old car looks much more modern with many more functions than the original. my car is a Ford Smax 2012 Titanium S, I hope it will work without any problems. I just saw your other video about how everything works, which you uploaded later. absolutely amazing! I will buy this device. I hope you get at least a lil share of the money for the demonstration from the seller as a cooperation! :)

@@Flyn-Mirabell thank you for your good words.I am here to help and that video helps a lot.Just in case ive found a situation where there are stereo together with the climate panel then there is a problem,because you have to put the original climate panel behind the screen.If its with the stereo then you cant do it.

How does the sound quality compare to ford's own system. Where would you put the external mic if you don't already have it fitted do all functions work regardless of connectivity

[@TheMeisner87]

Sound quality is good.I put the mic same place where the original was in front of the instrument cluster.

[@MarekSliačan-i8b]

Hello, I would like to install to S-Max 04-2012. Do you think that could be used existing gps antenna? It looks like that there is also slot for 4G card, so there could be internet also via this. I have just front and rear sensors, no camera. It shall work after installation right? Thank you.

[@TheMeisner87]

First check is your climate and multimedia part separate.There have been situations where they are together and then you cant use your climate,because climate panel must stay behind the screen.You must use the antenna what comes with the unit.My unit didn’t have the 4g card place.Maybe newer have that option.i had rear and front sensors also and i just added the camera.
