I might add: If you turn on "debugging" on your android phone you can screen mirror your cell phone via the USB cable, good for GPS or KZbin.

[@mobileradiofitter]

Good video. Many of these Chinese radios handbrake feature can be disabled or enabled so you can get away without connecting the handbrake feed. But some touch screen radios need this connected. For the navigation side of things. It helps the navigation work out if the car is parked or not. Not just for dvd playback. Just wanted to point that out. Enjoyed your video

[@azactor]

I've had this same head unit in my Mustang for the last year. It still works great after a year. The only thing I don't like about it is that is sounds a bit muffled when the volume is lower. That could be because of the Mach 460 system they put the Mustang, which has 3 stock amps.

This is the closest video I have found so far for what I’m trying to do with my car. It’s a 2002 Mazda protege and I’m looking to buy the same stereo as your from Amazon but the wiring was something I didn’t know dip about till now. You were clear on every step, plugging the custom made harness into the factory one first, then the other two that come with the stereo are soldered/connected to it thus making the stereo compatible. Thank you for the visual tutorial and clear tips.

[@TheAussieBusman]

I’ve been running the same headunit in my car for the past 18 months, While it’s far from perfect it’s actually “Decent” for the price. What I actually did is put a double adapter on the Reverse parking camera, Then got a Dash cam that predominantly records frontwards but when the cars put in reverse the exact image and guidelines shown on the headunit for the reverse parking camera then gets recorded onto the dash cam. The only thing the manual said it was capable of using the steering wheel audio controls and has the wires for it but haven’t figured that out yet, As it’d be nice to use even if it’s just the Volume up and down and track forward and back and mode on the steering wheel.

For your consideration, PLZ makes a capacitive touchscreen head unit with a backup camera for $20 more, and has a more sleek UI. Only drawback is no volume knob.

[@PeterBellefleur]

The reason you needed to run the external switched power was this year car used the canbus to turn the radio on and off. It's how the radios on these would stay on even after you switched off the car until you opened the drivers door. They make a canbus compatible harness, but it's much more expensive and for a cheap car like this, what you did is fine. The switched 12v line draws almost no power so tapping into the hvac controls is fine, the radio draws its main power from the yellow wire. There is one minor drawback here, depending on the car, (IIRC this is the case with this era Malibu) the warning dings/turn signal clicks are sometimes sent as commands via the canbus to the OEM radio and played out of the speakers, so doing what you did here you lose them, the more expensive canbus harness adapters have a little speaker in them to make the noises.

I bought this identical radio from Walmart last Christmas, it was branded as a Blaupunkt Baltimore 650BD and came with two speakers for $49.88. I see ended up buying a $14 backup camera and installed it in my 03 Super Duty, mainly for lining up with my trailer. It works well, only complaint is occasionally when I start the truck and it connects to my phone, it will redial the last number I called. Weird. The reason you have to push a little on the screen is because it's resistive instead of capacitive, but the upside is it will work with gloves So, overall not bad for $50

[@ericmcginnis9413]

[@mws3779]

I installed into my Honda CRV in 2014 a Pyle ( Pyle has been around for I remember seeing the brand for first time in an old JC Whitney catalog back when I was a kid ) system. While I connected everything including something I shouldn't have I unfortunately blew out the lights on the instrument cluster which even if I replace the bulbs it wouldn't work, make sure you know what wires you're hooking up. Personally I soldered everything and used shrink tube over the connections which in my view is the best way of doing it. I installed a Pyle 459 ( I think that's the model number ) everything went fine except for what I mentioned. It does pay to get a wiring harness kit so that the factory harness can plug right into it. The only downside is the camera I purchase was too cheap and it works sporadically, the weird thing is it tends to only work when I get the car washed, I checked out the connections after it started messing up and everything is fine it's just the camera is crap. This is not a difficult thing to do except it's a bit of a pain in the butt installing the backup camera. If you take your time it'll turn out fine. Oh yeah, the owner's manuals was completely useless.

[@BrokenNotDead]

[@KeepingItKeith]

Those old GMs used a bus system to turn on the radio. You always had to run a separate ignition wire to the fuse box or column.

[@KeepingItKeith]

Annnnnnd you just tapped it off the HVAC..... Don't make these types of videos if you aren't going to show the proper way to do things.

[@KeepingItKeith]

Also the parking brake wire needs to see a ground in order to let video play. It is a safety precaution because when hooked up to the parking brake the video will only play when the parking brake it on. If you just run this wire to straight ground it will allow video to play while driving.

[@lsxmatt]

Its just a signal wire, the radio gets its main power through the thicker yellow wire. I even left the stock hvac fuse, so even if there was a spike in current it would just blow that fuse. Now I don’t condone tapping off an existing circuit and adding a larger fuse to accommodate. Thats just asking for a fire..

[@lsxmatt]

It was actually the reverse camera wire. This headunit doesn’t have a parking brake wire that I could tell.

[@UNPOCOLOCO444]

Sometimes the no name brand decks will actually sound better than a name brand deck. I had a pioneer deck and when it died, I replaced it with a Boss deck and tbh it’s been serving me well since 2015.

[@TinoDetres]

Shows you're not too familiar with installing that many head units. You never plug in an undressed radio harness into the car's input harness. The red 12 volt memory wire is still live and if it touches the black ground wire it will blow the fuse. Which you will need to replace afterward once you find out why the head unit is not keeping its settings. BTW the reason you lack a wire for twelve switched is because chevy factory radios use a data wire to turn on the radio. This wire sends a data signal, rather than voltage to make the radio operate.

[@lsxmatt]

Never installed one in anything new than the 80s really.

Not clear on the Bluetooth or loosing connection. My thoughts as a tech was using one of many OBD-II plug ins that transmit via blue tooth. For use in an old truck, running a full “LS” swap, was to see data points on the screen. It would be nice rather than getting my Tech2 out. Playing FM/AM, having a backup camera, then switch to show electronic gauges with various PIDs available would be a package fine with me. Only having a driving camera would be desired, but stand a lone units can be better at night and more storage. Cool video.

Alot of that junk you get dirt cheap is Chinese knock offs. Not something I would trust hooking up as they are usually of lower quality and poor wiring, that can potentially destroy your electrical system. You get what you paid for.

Basic and ordinary is all I ask for. I might give it a go. Right now I have a single din $20 Walmart Duel system but I do a lot of driving for work at night and the bright blue in the unit I have is quite bothersome because I just cannot figure out how to dim it. This one seems like it might be a great upgrade.

I have the same exact radio in my 69 cutlass convertible it’s good enough to get some sounds bangin I have 2 6x9s and 2 5 1.4 hooked to it and it’s nice and clear

That stock radio removal was smooth.. compared to all of mine that I've done lol. Pop the trim and just 3 Bolts! lols

I’ve had that head unit. Good for the first few months. The internals start going bad and it shuts off when it gets hot. It really becomes a headache

You could probably just stick a small USB fan in the back using the port at the front to keep it cool

As an IG follower who had never watched one of your videos, I just wanted to let you know this popped up in my suggested, maybe KZbin is actually promoting your content to people, nice

[@Bergarita]

Good job man. The labor and brain use to install was the expensive part. You'll make that back when you sell it.

[@akbarbukhari]

that is a a real good fit, looks fantastic . $45 is a great deal and you did installed it yourself.

Thanks for biting the bullet with this one. I don’t like buying cheap shit, but was wanting to get this for shits and giggles.
