I haven't tried it, but I read some negative reviews about the company. Also, all the kit does is mirror your phone to the screen. No touchscreen controls. There are other solutions out there:

There is a thread somewhere on here about this one: https://indiworkshop.com/shop/all-in...for-chevrolet/

This kit looks neat but is pricy: https://www.gm-navigation.com/shop/2...aro-auto-play/

This radio is pretty cool, but the HVAC controls are on screen. I don't think I could get used to that: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000184799371.html

I think you'd be better off getting a dash kit with an aftermarket head unit.

Thanks, I've had android head units before (Chinese made) i don't like the quality and it alters the sound quality as well. The volume control is annoying as the lowest setting is loud.

All i need basically is to have screen mirror or android auto but looking for good product.

If someone knows of or has a decent android auto setup, I'd like to know too. I rented a 2019 Camaro out in Sacramento with android auto and I'm spoiled for this 2015 mess of a radio.

I JUST ORDERED IT!
Ill let you guys know what my thoughts are. I was going to go with the mvi set up but figured the nav too is probably just the same thing? Don't know if I will find out soon enough.

Don’t have it, but seems like the best option out there now. Wish i’ve known about this unit before upgrading to factory MyLink, but then I also like the look of the stock car like it came from the factory.

I looked at that radio definitely is one of the better ones I was considering it till I notice that I believe it's the same size screen as the MyLink and I really didn't want to get rid of the factory menus. I just got my navtool in the mail today. Trying to think whether I should do a install video or installed video how it works even though they have many other examples on there page. Or if I should just let you guys know when I think about it. let me know what you think. Just updated it.

I'd love to see a video on it, but if you don't have time for that I'd still love to hear your feedback on it.

Sry no video just got done @ 2am. Was excited to have it to drive in to work later. It's pretty much plug and play no splicing wires no searching for power or ground was nice. Just watch one of there many gm videos if needed and your good only difference between the camaro and the video I was watching was the blue wire in the video they got it from behind the glove box on the ss you are just talking into the back radio interface not the screen. Test it out before final install if you see nothing switch blue wire connections on back of module make sure all other connections are good, and if screen is blinking cut wire that says cut if screen is blinking lol yes it was a tab on that wire.. Most time consuming part for me was moving my amp so I could hide and run my wires.

Sry upside-down pictures I was rushing.

GHOSTRIDER-R 05-28-2021 09:59 AM

Everything works great but sound is a little bit on the low side I'm still waiting for them to get back to me. Oh on my manual trans in order to see the back up camera do have to go back to the regular screen. I I did message them.
