Cadillac CTS Apple CarPlay - How To Add Apple CarPlay Android Auto to Cadillac CTS HDMI DVD TV Input - Duration: 55:45.In this video we will feature Apple Carplay Android Auto HDMI Mirroring and
Camera Operation for the Cadillac CTS 2008 to 2015.
In this video, Apple CarPlay.
Once in interface mode, go ahead and press CarPlay. CarPlay appears on the screen. This 100% original
CarPlay and just like found in any other car that is 2018 or newer you get full
touchscreen just like would be in 2018 Cadillacs. Everything is controlled
through the original touchscreen and we're gonna show you how everything works.
In this video Android Auto.
Press and hold top left of the
screen to enter the Android Auto of the interface. Click here and you enter in
the Android Auto. In this video, HDMI smartphone mirroring.
HDMI mirroring is very easy. Just like in your home TV, whatever you
connect to HDMI you will see on your car screen. In this video, camera operations.
Cameras can be operated automatic or manually in the interface mode press and
hold top left of the screen and you got four camera inputs. This is a two part
video part one is product demonstration part two product installation. Navtool
established in 2002. See description below video for product information must
expand description section if watching this video on a mobile device. This is a
demo of iPhone or Android smartphone mirroring with Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto plus for camera inputs. Interface is compatible with Cadillac CTS years 2008
to 2015. This interface does not replace factory
radio or factory screen. This interface enhances the factory screen with
features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HDMI mirroring and extra cameras. All
factory features work the same as before. This interface is "see-through" meaning
the vehicle does not detect that the interface is installed in the car. This
product is made and manufactured in the United States. Please support American jobs.
This product is a 100% automotive-grade product.
Apple CarPlay feature of the interface. Apple CarPlay demo. Set the radio to auxiliary.
On top left corner press and hold for a few seconds and it's going to switch
into the interface mode. Once in interface mode, go ahead and press CarPlay.
CarPlay appears in the screen. This is 100% original car play just like found
in any other car that is 2018 or newer. You got full touchscreen just like would
be in 2018 Cadillacs. Everything is controlled through the original
touchscreen and we're gonna show you how everything works. This button returns
back into your menu. This button obviously gets out of the menu. Press and
hold to re-enter the menu. Now, when you're in here and if you accidentally
switch by using the audio button on the panel, you can switch back to auxiliary
and so when you basically connect the phone, the phone is going to connect,
Apple CarPlay is going to get recognized by the phone. It takes just a few seconds
just like in any other car. Apple CarPlay appears on the phone screen. Apple
CarPlay is booted and you go into the Apple CarPlay mode. So now, Apple CarPlay
will always stay on. It doesn't matter even if you want to get out and watch camera
or if you want to get out and let's say you want to enter adjust something at
the factory and go back into the the interface, the Apple CarPlay will be
ready for you. You got your three recent applications here. So, we got the phone
calling, tuner radio and maps. If you go into your phone settings, because we have
a lot of applications and you go into your general and then you go into CarPlay,
you can rearrange the icons. So, in your menu you have all your icons and
you can rearrange them any way you like. So, if you want let's say maps to be the
first ones, go ahead switch and the maps, once you
press down, it's going to be the first on the screen.
Okay, so if you want to move the maps into the third location... third location
first location... first location. If you want to bring some of the other apps to
the front let's say you want to have Google Maps you know on some other app
or you can click reset... reset home screen layout and it's going to reset say one
Phone Maps Messages. So, you have the ability to rearrange icons any way you like.
You can swipe to switch the screens but, there's a faster and easier way
which is you see those dots? So, if you press on the bottom right it switches to
the right. You press on the bottom left. Now, I press
the home button by accident but, press on the right screen swipe to the right left
swipes to the left.Super responsive. If you go onto the phone and let's say um
let me just show you let's say you want to dial the number right look at the
response of how responsive the screen is to one two five five five one two one
two. No lag, no anything. Everything works
just like it's supposed to. Alright, let's say you want to listen to the
radio or you want to change the station, Tune In Radio's right here. There is an
application, you press, go to your favorites select anything you want to
hear you can click now playing and see what is already playing so we got Planet Perfecto
playing already on the station. You can use the volume from the steering wheel
to make it louder or here. Make it loud or lower it here.
You can also say "Hey Siri". Siri comes up and you can tell her whatever you want basically. it's gonna as you you know
Hey Siri
Pizza. So basically, everything works just like original you have a "Now Playing" on
the Home Screen. Whatever audio apps you're running when
you press on here, it's gonna take it to your app. You can pause it. You can play it.
Now, one important thing to remember. Apple CarPlay exists only inside your
phone and your phone only. It does not exist anywhere else. So which means today
twenty years from now, it will always work the same because all updates happen
inside your phone only. They do not happen anywhere else. So basically, if
Apple decides to add 20 more apps, you will get 20 more apps that same second.
Today or 20 years from now, you never have to worry about updating anything
here. Everything updates inside the phone. When it's updated in the phone, instantly
it works here. There is nothing to do as long as Apple's in business and they have
CarPlay, this will always work the same and you don't have to worry about
updating anything. iOS 13, iOS... whatever version comes out, it's automatically
here. So, you know, you got Google Maps. You go into Google Maps, obviously you have
your settings and you can change layouts and everything. This is CarPlay just
like in 2018 car, no different. Let's get out of here and let's go into Waze.
Waze is loading. Waze has loaded up on the screen.
You can click over here on the bottom right and you can do police
accidents so if you want to report police for example, you can send the
report. If you want to do it, if you want to send an accident, you can send a
report so everything is just like original, you know. You can do the voice
controlled if you want to. It's listening to now "Take Me Home".
Oh it doesn't have my home address. But, it's all 100% like original.
If you want to call someone, again, you got your favorites, recent
contacts, keypad, voicemail. You can call the directly from the thing. You can hang
up directly from the thing. You have the microphone.
I mean, CarPlay supports all the apps that, you know, Apple supports. They got
five pages of applications so we got the regular apps from Apple with your phone
Apple Maps, Messenger, Now Playing. Go back to get out of here. Audio Books
and then got bunch of apps so, we got two radio station apps. We got Amazon Music
Audible, At Bat, Audio Books, audioBoom, Dash Radio, Free Books. We got Google Maps.
And you can put it on the front page if you like. And we have iHeartRadio, Mixcloud MPR radio
My Tuner Radio, NBA, NPR One, Overcast, Pandora. We got Play Music, Radio Disney,
Radio Haven, Radio.com, Slacer, SomeFM, Spotify, Stitcher
TuneIn Radio, Waz, WhatsApp. So basically, everything that Apple approved as an app so if tomorrow
they approved a new app, instantaneously it's gonna work here. You don't have to
do anything. Apple CarPlay only exists inside your
phone and nowhere else. Everything is here, all the updates
happen here, everything only here. So basically, you got the same Apple CarPlay
that would be found in a 2018 car. You got the same experience. Technically, you
never have to go back into your original stuff. Got your audio, you got your radio
if you want to listen to the radio.
So basically, that's everything. Everything you need is here.
You go into your Waze. You want to get out of Waze and you want to
choose any other application. You want to go into Google Maps, your Google Maps
You never have to go into your factory menu
because everything you need is here. You can control the volume. You got all your
applications so pretty much, there's no reason to get out of here. You start your car
press and hold the top left corner, get into the Apple menu and that's it.
You can put your iPhone anywhere you want and you're enjoying CarPlay.
and whatever apps are available, you know, they're going to appear here.
Pandora if you use it. Spotify if you use it. Everything is here
This is how CarPlay works. A lot of people don't know that.
But, watch this. This is my Home Screen. If I was to launch an app,
let's say TunedIn Radio. See? TunedIn Radio launches right on my phone.
If I was to press home, it would take me home.
The interesting part is if you use Waze, they give you a special menu on
the screen of the phone and you can not use Waze on the phone anymore.
It just gives you that specia Waze screen and everything is operated from here. I don't know
why they do this. Usually, apps don't for safety reasons because Apple wants you to be
safe but, you got true CarPlay experience with all the features if you're driving
you want to report the traffic, go ahead. Moderate Traffic and submit report.
traffic go ahead stand still and submit it. You want to report a hazard on the road
construction, go ahead and submit it. Everything is just like
the original. There is no difference.
and that's it. You should go ahead and enjoy it and if you're in Waze
and you want to quickly change the radio, you go back and you want to do
local radio station and you want to listen to something else. Let's say, you know,
this station, you go ahead, you're already listening to a different station
That concludes the demo of the Apple CarPlay.
Press and hold the top left of the screen to enter the
interface, Click here and you enter in the Android Auto.
In Android Auto mode, you got your "get out" menu so click this
twice... return to... this gets out of this menu so you can get out into the main
menu and let's say, you know, watch your left lane camera. Press to go
back in. This is your home screen where you got all your stuff. This is your
audio apps so whatever audio applications you have here, this is going
to be playing and you will hear it through your car speakers. So, you can go
ahead and press play... press pause.... press play.... If you've got other
applications, they're also gonna work.
Okay, over here you got your Maps and you can choose between Google Maps and Waze.
so if you press on the maps, you got your Waze right now. It's your
Waze application. You got all your menus here. Over here, you can press and you can
do anything you like so, if you want to report police, you press the report
police... visible / hidden. So, if you want to report invisible police it's gonna
report. You got your traffic, crash, cameras, you know. You can report your
hazards. You've got all the options just like Waze on the phone that you
use. Keep in mind, Android Auto exists only inside your phone. You never have to
worry about updates or anything else.
100% of it is inside the phone.
You can go back to your home screen or if you're in Maps and you want to change, you go ahead and you
change to Google Maps and you can have Google Maps right on your screen. You got
all of your Google Maps menu over here.
It's all here.
Updates or anything are all in here and when they release an update it's gonna
automatically go into here.
RIght now, you have a choice between Google Maps and Waze so if you have an Android you can use either one.
You got your audio apps. Whatever application you install, so if
you install other applications here by pressing this button, you can have more applications.
You got your weather and home stuff in here.
You got your phone calling and stuff. So basically, you press and you can
dial the number two one two five five five one two one two. Keep in mind
Unlike CarPlay, Android Auto requires the car to have BlueTooth so if you
don't have Bluetooth, you'll have to install a BlueTooth device in your car.
Android Auto calls only through vehicles with existing Bluetooth and for that reason
you will need to have one. So, if you listen to your music again, all your
controls work... Play... Pause.
This concludes the demo.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are identical just like in any 2018 Cadillac.
You'll have the same Android Auto in this car.
There is no difference. 100% just like the original.
You never have to use the factory screen.
You've got everything. You've got your two navigations
You've got your Google Maps or Waze. You've got all your applications as far as audio
applications go. You've got your phone calling. You never have to get
out of this menu. You get into the car, you press the top left of the screen get
into the menu and that's it and if you want to get out of this menu, press
this twice. Say you want to check out your right camera, right there's
your right camera and then you want to quickly get back into Android Auto.
Right there you get into Adroid Auto and you can go to favorite apps and listen
to music Spotify, Google Play or any other application that you may have.
One thing again to remember all apps are here so if Android Auto allows more
applications, they are automatically gonna transfer here. If there's gonna be more
navigations, they're gonna be transferred her... more music apps, they're gonna be
transferred here so everything that they will have it will all be transferred here
So, if you have an Android phone and if you have two phones, Android Auto or
iPhone, you can connect to either one and it will automatically appear. that concludes
the demo of Android auto.
HDMI mirroring feature of the interface
HDMI input smartphone mirroring demo Press and hold the top left of the screen
We're gonna enter the interface and you have your HDMI. HDMI mirroring is very easy just like in
your home TV, whatever you connect to HDMI, you will see on your
car screen. So what do we have? We're going to show you a couple of
different applications. Just connect to your phone. The phone is synced up to the
screen and we're gonna basically show you, depending on the phone, so you press
HDMI. The entire phone is mirroring instantaneous. You can do Android or
iPhone. We're showing you iPhone but HDMI is HDMI. You can go onto Netflix. You can
play Netflix. Netflix is going to appear on the screen. Keep in mind one thing.
All new iPhones.. look at this... double tap... you see it changes here and there that's how
mirroring works where they connect to your home TV or anywhere else. You zoom
out, it's gonna zoom out, you zoom in, it's going to zoom in. You can do Netflix
You can do Hulu, you can do DirecTV. Whatever else you have so I actually
have the DirecTV application. So, if you have DirecTV and you're hanging out
and you have nothing to do, you can go ahead and play your DirecTV. So, you've got
your movie right there on the screen. You've got a full screen movie and it's playing.
You can change the channel, that's going to be a cartoon right there.
change the channel again... Nickelodeon
change the channel again so basically if you have any of those TV
applications, you have TV on your screen. And see, as I keep changing the screen on the app,
you see it's black on the phone because it's playing on the screen.
Next Channel
Keep in mind, it's all in HD Quality.... next channel.... next channel
So, now you have TV in your car.
You get your audio through your car speakers. As I'm changing channels, you see they load up on the screen.
I'm just going through random channels.
So basically this is just like
HDMI input in the back of your TV but in the car you can use Netflix Hulu YouTube
or any other TV application.
That concludes the demo of the mirroring application or HDMI input
Cameras can be operated automatic or manually. In the interface mode, press and hold the top left of the
screen. You got four camera inputs if you don't install any of the cameras
Everything will work the same as before just like factory. We installed in this car all
cameras just for demo purposes. You don't have to install any of the cameras
RIght lane watch camera. It is designed to see blind spots. We installed the
camera, it's not adjusted to show anything. It's just there to show you the
capabilities so we have a right lane watch camera showing the right side of the car.
You got lines you can get comment with or without lines and your adjusted any
way you like to see the right side of the car. You can move it further out to
see the whole lane We're just showing you that it is possible to see right to
If you quickly switch cameras over here on top but this is your right lane watcg
camera. To get on to the main menu let's say you want to go back to your CarPlay for example
You're gonna press here. Now, it depends what are you trying
to achieve so we're going back into CarPlay so that's what we want to see.
you're driving and let's say you want to watcg right camera you just push right
camera as you drive you just keep watching the right camera on the screen
press in the middle to get out into the main menu. Now, left lane watch cameras
same thing. Press the left land watch camera
You can get camera with lines or without lines pointed anywhere you
like. Typically, it's good to see the entire side. You put the camera in the
mirror or out of the mirror and shoots the entire angle just like the
picture shows and you're gonna have a left lane watch camera and again if you
want to get out and go back to the CarPlay right away go back into the CarPlay
Now right and left lane watch camera can operate automatically with turn signals.
Put the right turn signal on, right lane watch camera comes on...
Put the left turn signal... left camera comes on. If you don't install any of the cameras
and just ignore it and with the left and right turn signals nothing's going to change.
this is front camera and we installed
the front camera again it's not adjusted You've got some distance lines and front
camera is your drive. You can watch it you can switch quickly between all
your cameras or get out again and when you get out you can go into any other
mode. Let's say if you want to go back into a CarPlay or Android Auto or
mirroring. Now basically front camera works for parking, when you put the car
in reverse in the factory or aftermarket camera comes on when you put the car
back into drive front camera stays on up to ten miles an hour and then it's
automatically shuts off rear camera. You've got a rear camera on the screen
again you can switch to all the cameras very fast as you driving rear lane watch
camera or rear view camera action in this case on the screen automatic in
reverse. If you have factory cameras, you will see factory camera on the screen
in reverse. If you have factory camera and you want to watch it while driving,
you either have to A. install another camera or B. you have to rewire complete the factory
camera because it gets power only in reverse and you're gonna have to supply
power to it constantly. We're given our CA wiring harness so you don't have to
do anything upfront but the camera itself will have to be rewired. If you wish to
watch the factory camera while driving So again you got four camera inputs.
If you want to use it for DVD, you can use one of the camera inputs for DVD and we
can turn off all the text on the screen. So the rear camera is automatic in reverse
Front camera, you can watch while driving
or, it will work out of reverse into drive up to 10 miles an hour.
Your left lane watch camera, you can watch while
driving or with left turn signal. Right then watch camera you can watch while
driving or with the right turn signal. To get out of the menu, press the power button.
Using a removal tool, remove this wooden panel and this wooden panel. Once the panel's
come out, this panel just pops open so you can get access to the two screws on
the bottom over here. Let us show you this is a very simple task.
Just take your panel, tool insert it into any place you have, set it right here
Panel comes out... and the other way and it comes out it's very easy there's nothing
holding them and then this panel... just pop up
shift the gear and then you have these two screws that you can access because you're
gonna have to remove this panel in the next step
Using a removal tool, simply
remove the wooden panels that are found on left and right side of the screen of
the panel. Simply take the tool and they pop right out. They just have clips holding them in the back
however, keep in mind the panel on the right hand side after you remove it
you have to pull it to the right a little bit as you see they have two hooks but
it's also just clips so just work your way thrrough the entire panel to get it removed.
To remove the faceplate simply remove those two screws that are found
here. Once the screws are removed, the faceplate simply pulls out because
there's nothing holding it. There are no screws anywhere else and remove two
connectors that are found here for the front .
One connector is here... one connector for the cigarette lighter. This removes the front
fascia. To remove the radio, remove the four screws holding the radio and the
radio will come out to gain access to the back of the connectors. To remove the
screen, simply remove three screws one, two, three
Once you remove the screws, the screen will simply come out and you can remove the
connectors from the back of the screen. Once the screws are removed, simply move the
radio, unplug three screen connectors in the back of the screen and
the screen is removed. That's all, disassembly is complete
Now that we have the radio removed, let's see what's in the box
We have the Made In USA on the interface
We've got the main connector that's gonna give you data and audio/video inputs. We've got
two digital connectors. The one on this side. That's the radio side.
and the one more towards the inside is the cable for the screen side
you data and audio/video inputs we got two digital connectors the one on this
side that's the radio side so the radio and the one more towards the inside is
the cable for the screen side on the other side we have your HDMI input
We have your USB charging and apple CarPlay / Android Auto port if you're installing Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
Programming port, status LED
Future use port. This interface comes standard with four camera inputs and HDMI input
We can also pre-install Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with touchscreen
controls so there's no separate box. It's all going to be all-in-one.
We will pre-install it inside for you.
So, you have an all-in-one interface and you don't have to connect two or three
interfaces together and it will work with factory touchscreen controls. So we've got
the main interface. Next we have the harness for the main interface
This is the harness that plugs in at the main interface connector. So, it plugs in right in
here. On the main interface harness, you've got four camera inputs or you can use
them for video, two audio outputs that are going to be connected
the main harness so you can have auxiliary audio in the car.
you've got a 14 pin connector, which is pretty populated. That connects to the plug-and-play
harness and you got 14 pin auxiliary connector that has just six wires in it
there is your microphone input. Then we have the harness for your microphone
input. This is the harness for your microphone input. It has the remote input
which you don't use, you only need the microphone input. We have the microphone
itself. We've got the microphone. The microphone mounts with the clip. You can
mount it behind the mirror or anywhere else. It has a clip and so it's discreet and
it has a lot of wire so you can run it through the ceiling.
So, your headline is gonna pull down, you're gonna run it through the
pillar under the dash and behind the radio, the wire is long enough. You put
the clip in. So, your headliner, you're gonna mount this
inside your headliner.
So, your wire is gonna go up into the headliner so you don't see it. You're gonna put it
behind the headliners edge. Then, you have the two digital cables digital cables
that connect in here they're both identical cables so it doesn't matter
which one you use for radio screen. They're both identical. You just need to
plug them to the correct ports here and then you have the main plug-and-play
harness in the box with your audio inputs and everything else.
So, this installation is 100% plug-and-play. So now, let's proceed to the actual installation.
do not forget the program the interface all interfaces are strip
blank as they need to be confused by the Installer or end-user programming
process will take less than one minute and can be performed using Windows or
Mac computer. How to update the software it doesn't matter what you're updating
whether you're updating the camera interface video in motion interface
Wireless mirroring interface or apple CarPlay interface the process of update
is identical. The updater works on Mac and Windows based PC so we have for both
Windows and Mac. To update, you need a cable like this, the standard cable
one end of the cable is microUSB and the other is a standard USB this goes to the
computer and the microUSB goes into the interface. Connect this end into the
computer, Mac or Windows. Connect the other end into your interface you're
updating... Again any interface. Once the interface is connected, all of the
information is gonna appear on the screen
and install the desired software. Just for the test purposes, we're going to
show you how to update it with Cadillac CTS software Video-In-Motion in here
Hit install... so now, it's installing and shows your progress bar in a percentage
It takes only seconds to update it so you download the app data from the website
for mac on Windows that's gonna take you approximately 60 seconds and then the
update process takes only another minute or so. This is how to update the
interface so we've shown you the update process and the entire process only
takes less than a minute
okay the update process is done and it's 99% it says do not disconnect in about a
second it's going to tell you that it's complete and you can disconnect the
interface there you go device settings update it and you're done so entire
update process takes only about two minutes you download software from the
website for mac and Windows about a minute and the update takes another minute
and all you need is a cable like this so USB cable to micro USB. First, let's
install the microphone. So, what you want to do is you want to take the microphone
and you want to mount the microphone to the headliner so let's go up to the
headliner. This is your headliner right here and so what you
want to do is you want to pull down on the headliner a little bit we're gonna
show you right here and this clip is going to go onto the headliner
look at the microphone you don't even see it anymore
now the wire is going to go inside the headliner so you gonna pull down on the
headliner, put your wire through and then you're gonna run your wire all the
way through the headliner and then you want to bring it down this pillar all
the way down and then you want the end of the microphone to end up over here behind the dash for you and we're going to plug
it into the main harness. Next step, you want to take one of the digital cables
you want to plug it into the screen. The factory cable you no longer need to use
because originally you had this cable run from here into the radio. Now, we gave
you two identical cables so previously, you'd think of it as if they were like this
right connected as a single cable something like this
Now, the video is going to go into the interface
from the radio into the interface and out to the screen
because everything in the screen is in this radio. We don't really care about that
this radio. We're using the screen as a monitor to project the HDMI or Apple
CarPlay / Android Auto / camera inputs
At the end of the day, this screen is no different than the screen that is found in your house
we're just giving you the inputs that are missing from the factory that are
found in the back of your home TV. So, you want to take one of the cables
one of the two digital cables they're both identical so it doesn't matter
which one you take. Take one of the two cables you want to plug it in into the
screen and we're gonna reinstall the screen we're never gonna close the car
full until we test everything but we're gonna slowly reinstall and start testing
stuff. So we're going to take the screen and plug one of the cables that we
supply into the back of it. We've got the port over here for it.
Black and gray also plug into the back of the screen.
Then, we want to re-install the screen in it's previous location.
secure it with the screws that you previously removed so just secure with
couple of screws on the side so the radio screen does not fall out and we got the
cable run here
you just go ahead and secure it and that's it
okay that cable is installed plugs are reconnected we're going to continue
we're going to take the supplied plug-and-play harness we're going to
unplug the matching connectors so we have two connectors like that we're
going to unplug them from the back of the radio. We're going to plug in the
factory connectors into the matching female connectors of the supply
plug-and-play harness and the male connectors of the supplied plug-and-play
harness we're going to plug back into the radio. So, it makes 100% plug-and-play
installation. Okay so on the back of this radio let's go to the back of the radio
we need to install the main harness so we need to move it out.
We have a shifter here... if you didn't remove you want to protect the shifter with a piece
of cloth. When you pull the radio out, you don't want to scratch the shifter.
pull the radio out and on this side of the radio you'll find two matching
connectors. You need to find these two connectors right here gray and black square.
They're on this side over here one is on top and one is on the other end.
You've got one here and one here so I'm going to pull everything out to show you
you don't have to do that. These are your connectors right there.
The black one and then right there at the end is the gray one let me show you behind this
black one is the grey one that you need so you're gonna take the second digital
cable that we gave you the blue one and you're gonna plug it in here the factory
one you no longer need to use so you take the supplied cable plug it in
take the supplied black square cable plug it into the back of the radio.
Once you plug it in you have the other end and in here you're going to plug in the
factory cable which you unplug from the back of the radio. Now, you're going to go
ahead and take this one and you're going to plug it in here into the back of the radio.
On the other side, you're going to plug in the one you unplugged previously
into the one we supplied you with. So the only thing that should be left unplugged is this blue factory one
whatever else you unplugged should be back plugged in now.
From the T harness, you have this plug left. That's gonna plug into the main harness that was supplied to you
And the audio RCA's of the main harness that plugs into the interface are going to
connect to the audio RCA's on this harness. You've got two RCA's, those are your
audio inputs. This is how you gonna hear audio through your car speakers from
mirroring, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. So, let's connect those together.
So the main harness, you want to open up the tie wrap they have here installed so you can
open up the harness because you want to hide the module elsewhere so going to
open up the module harness this end where all the wires are populated is
going to plug in in here to the T-harness. Now, on the main harness plug
that plugs into the interface, you got two RCA's. We're also going to connect all
four cameras while this car has a rear camera we're going to connect front left
and right cameras. If you're not connecting the cameras, you don't have to
worry about those RCA's but for the demo purposes of this video we are going to
connect to all the cameras so in that case you got to run all your cameras to
the module somewhere in the dashboard. You're going to plug in
one..... and two....
The two other ends plug into the main harness... one and two... alright so that
completes your installation. We want to slide the radio back in and we're gonna
connect the interface and start testing. Also, if you're planning to install the
microphone we gave you this harness for the microphone. On the main connector
harness, you got this little harness right here. This is where the microphone
is going to be connected. So, you want to plug in into this little connector right
here. So, on the main harness you got this little connected this is where the
microphone harness is going to plug in for the microphone and then the label
that says "microphone" You're gonna plug in microphone here
all right so basically, this is your connections and we're gonna slide the
radio back and start testing everything Only after you tested everything do completely secure everything back.
Do a test drive and when you know everything works, only then you permanently close
the car. You don't want to start closing the car, maybe something's not plugged in
right something's not connected right you want to test everything 100%
before you start closing the car so let's start sliding the radio back into
its place. You have plenty of space in the back after when you finish
everything you can start doing beautification everything else you need
to route the wires but for now we're just gonna put the radio back into its
place so we can test everything out. I recommend routing all the wires to the
side so on the side behind the carpet it's probably the best location for the
module because the wires are long enough to drop down there through the openings
and just have it sit there before the test purposes we're gonna have
everything sitting up front but that's where I recommend putting everything you to the side over there. On the right side you have enough space you can
run your wire over here put them to the side everything can go in there so I
went ahead and router all the wires to the right anyway they're right there
they through this opening because I'm gonna put everything behind on the side
behind the carpet now I can slide the radio back into its place.
Put the radio in... don't forget this is your wire for the front panel. Do not hide it behind the radio
It's black with a white connector. This is the front panel connector.
Slide the radio back in now. The wire that are routed from the back to the front
over here through the front... do not route it this way.. Route it from the back to the side.
Do not route it from the front. This is all for testing because I'm gonna remove it
and make it all nice before we close the car but this is just for testing
purposes so you know at this point it doesn't matter how it's routed.
We're gonna hide the wires in the back we're gonna push them through there's an
space of the radio can go into its location and this way we can test
everything out. Now, we want to make sure that we connect everything right and
that everything works. So you're going to take your module you're going to plug in
the main harness in here. The cable that's coming from the screen it's gonna go in
here and cable the coming from the back of the radio is gonna go in here.
Let's plug it in. The main one we're gonna plug in the screen side and then we're
gonna plug in the radio side. After you plug everything in you might want to
hear a sound like that or view off the ignition on
you know the beeping sound which means it's getting the data. You wanna put the
ignition on and you want to see the screen come on. Now, if the screen is now wake up
automatically, you want to shut the ignition off, reconnect the panel, put the radio on, bring on the screen
Next, we want to start checking everything. You want to set the radio to auxiliary.
Front auxiliary input is activated and once that's activated,
let me get it to the screen so you can see alright so let's focus on the screen
So, front auxiliary is activated
Your car must have auxiliary for auxiliary to be activated
If your car has auxiliary, we will activate that for you
so AUX is working. Press and hold top left of the screen for it to switch
to the interface so that's what we're gonna do but first you want to set the
radio auxilary because that's how you gonna hear the sound from mirroring or
anything else
when you press and hold top left of the touchscreen the interface should switch
over. If you have a factory camera put, the car in reverse
See if your camera works. In this car, we're actually adding a camera there is no
factory camera but we're gonna show you once we install the camera.
We're gonna press and hold the top left of the
touchscreen and it's going to switch. Now, you're in the menu of the interface. Keep in
mind... One of the wires in our harness has a label "cut if screen is blinking"
if you switch and the screen is blinking on our harness there's a wire you just
snip it in half. So now, you want to test to make sure that everything works.
You can plug an iPhone or Android or if you doing mirroring, you can plug in something
to the HDMI input or both and your cameras.
To get out, press and hold here to
To switch into the interface, press and hold the top left of the touchscreen. Now, you want to switch to CarPlay if you have CarPlay
or Android auto if you have an Android phone. You can use an extension cable
like this to extend your USB from the interface from here you can route it
because you have everything open to inside your center console and then you
can plug in different cables or you can just buy a long lightning cable with it.
Let me show you... We have a really long lightning cable as you can see this
cable it's very long this is a lightning cable because while i'm gonna be using
an iphone this is a very long cable or if you're planning to use hdmi from
mirroring... if you want to watch YouTube or any other apps inside your
center console for factory look and feel or you can get
one of these things it's even better. We have them available
this is HDMI / USB in one with a very long cable.
You just install it. This way you will have HDMI and USB
You can install it in your center console or drill into the center console
you will have it. So, we know that the interface is working, we can switch to
the menu. You can proceed to testing all the features. You can see demos of the features in the beginning of this video
connected. So, in CarPlay mode, you want to go on like TuneIn Radio here in your
recent applications. It's all touchscreen just like
it would be factory. Let's go into music.
let's see.. let's go into podcasts
let's go with the trending ABC radio... you want to make sure you hear the radio
Make sure you have audio from auxiliary.
so now we know that everything is working we can go ahead and put the car
together and test the rest of the features. If you want to see the rest of the
features go back to the beginning of the video but the installation is complete.
Neatly, put everything back and reinstall your radio. Reinstall the panel hide the
interface. After you screw everything in, test everything one more time.
But, we know your installation is proper, we know we connected all of the wires correctly.
We know our audio is working. We can switch back and forth and that completes our installation.

2020 Lincoln Aviator Jumps Into the Luxury SUV Crowd | Edmunds - Duration: 2:58.CAMERON ROGERS: The Lincoln MKT was kind of an odd duck.
It wanted to be an SUV, a minivan, a wagon.
It's kind of hard to tell.
But the Aviator, the MKT successor,
has its foot firmly planted in the midsize crossover category.
Lincoln gave us a sneak peek a few days
before its official unveil at this year's LA Auto Show.
We first saw the Aviator at this year's New York Auto Show,
but that was technically a concept.
We walked away impressed by the expressive exterior styling
and high quality interior.
Thankfully, the final production model
retains those same strengths.
Next to me is the Grand Touring model, differentiated
by its unique grill, blue Lincoln badge in the front,
and blue aviator script on the side.
The standard engine on this car is a twin turbo V6
with 400 horsepower.
But the one next to me is a plug-in hybrid
with 450 horsepower and a stunning 600 pound-feet
of torque.
Step to the side and you'll see the swoopy profile
popularized by other luxury SUV coupes,
but importantly, without a reduction in headroom.
The first thing I noticed when stepping into the Aviator
was how impressive this interior is.
Without qualifications, this is a true luxury grade interior.
And somebody coming from a Mercedes, or an Audi, or a Land
Rover is not going to be let down.
I mean, you have this really cool 3D texture
sort of brushed aluminum look trim extending from a dash.
And down here in the center console,
you have leather coverings all the way up here.
The seat leather seems to be really nice and supple.
There's nothing in here that screams this
is anything but a luxury car.
There are, however, a few things that we
hope get sorted out before the Aviator makes it
to full production.
The seat sits up pretty high.
At 6' 4", I'm fairly tall.
And this seat is in its lowest position.
And my head seems very close to the headliner.
The low roofline makes me feel a little claustrophobic when
I look out the front.
And while I have plenty of room up here on the front,
the second and third row were a little tight.
I can usually sit behind myself with little
to no discomfort in most midsize crossovers.
But sitting behind myself in the Aviator
was a little tight in leg room.
I also tried getting into the third row,
and there's really no way to do that gracefully.
But the Aviator doesn't just do the luxury stuff.
It also has all of today's bells and whistles
that you would expect of a car in this price range,
from a 28 speaker premium sound system to an adaptive air
suspension that can read the road ahead of you
and firm up or soften the dampers to make the ride
a little bit better.
It also has what Lincoln says is the largest head up display
in the industry.
Has Lincoln finally produced a worthy rival
to segment heavyweights like the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery,
Mercedes Benz GLE, and Volvo XC90?
We'll have to wait until summer of 2019,
when the Aviator hits dealership lots to find out.

You've Been Filling Your Kettle Wrong 🚫🚰☕ // Auto Fill Kettle – Kitchen Life Hack - Duration: 7:49.You know that feeling when you want to have a cup of tea or coffee but there is no water
in your kettle.
It's just ssssssooooo infuriating... or maybe it's just me.
Anyway.
Thermopot solves a problem of having water always hot but you still have to fill it up
every once in a while.
We also use a reverse osmosis system that filters all the nasty stuff.
And yes, I know that RO systems make water "dead" and remove all the minerals from your
body and you will die the horrible-horrible death in 3 minutes after consuming it but
it somehow works for me, I guess I'm from beetlejuice.
So I want my thermopot to be always full.
Let's do something with it.
Let's deliver water from the filter to the thermopot, it's like 3 meters away.
I run this 5 meter tube behind the kitchen furniture and this valve keeps everything
under control.
There is nothing simpler than connecting these tubes, you just stick it in there and it locks
in.
You can have additional protection by using these rings.
It's already an improvement, you don't need to carry your kettle around to fill it, you
just have a hose that you can open directly in-place.
Let's go a step further.
I bought this 12v solenoid valve for $5 on ebay, it can work for 10 hours in a row.
And it's not getting too hot, really impressive.
It's normally closed, that means in case of a blackout it will shutdown the flow.
How it works?
It has a copper coil inside.
When the electricity passes through, it get's magnetized and sucks in the metallic rod.
When there is no current, a spring returns the rod back to it's default state.
This rod is connected to the plug that opens and closes the water flow.
Cool, we have a tool to control the water but how can we decide when it should be open
or closed?
I bought this aquarium water level sensor.
Basically it's a plastic tube with a floating magnetic ring around it.
When the magnet is up, it breaks the circuit inside and when it's down, it connects it
back together.
This is called a reed switch and it's really simple, just 2 thin ferromagnetic wires that
are attracted to each other when the magnetic field is applied
I drilled a hole in the top and installed it there, the height was perfect for our needs.
I installed the water tube running from the solenoid valve into the same hole.
So the water will get into the lid and drip from the holes in it.
I connected the valve and the sensor to an arduino nano.
This MOSFET is used as a switch to enable and disable the valve because arduino outputs
cannot feed enough voltage and current.
I stiched everything together with some hot glue and zip ties.
And then I wrote some code In the main loop we read the water level every
100 milliseconds.
I always check the input twice, to eliminate false positives.
If the water level circuit is broken, it means that the tank is full and we disable the valve
Then we wait 5 minutes so the user has a chance to get enough water before it starts filling
up making it colder.
If the level sensor is connected to the ground, it means that the tank is empty.
It worked great!
For 2 weeks.
Then the sensor stopped sending any signals.
It's lucky that it was stuck in the OFF position because it could flood our home and make our
neighbours too nervous.
Even if I used a neodimium magnet to turn it on it didn't produce any signal.
There's definitely no spark that could damage the contacts but probably it's that this sensor
wasn't meant to be used in the boiling water environment.
For a moment I thought about 3D-printing a similar device and putting a hall sensor inside
so it would be more reliable but there were 2 issues:
The filaments I can print with are not really food-safe or robust at this temperature.
And the hall sensor I had appeared to be binary and unipolar.
I couldn't make it work reliably for this project.
So I just drilled out the insides of the existing sensor and put another better reed switch
inside.
It's rated up to 120*c, that's more than enough.
Then I used some sealant to keep the water out.
Probably the better way was to use some resin because it cures faster and doesn't corrode
your contacts.
My solution worked fine but now I have an inverted signal – it's connected when the
kettle is full and disconnected when it's not.
Well it's pretty simple to fix in the code.
Like that.
Done.
But the code became much less readable this way.
Oh well...
Also I found that the thermopot would turn max power every time the system adds water,
that's not good because of the boiling sounds it makes.
This water is already clean enough, it doesn't need boilng.
So I decided to reduce the flow using the valve we installed previously.
I made it drip just a bit so the thermopot could get it warm before the average temperature
drops significantly.
Killed 2 birds with 1 stone – no boiling and the water is always hot, no need to wait
until it fills and then heats up.
I added another tube and a valve for cold water using a T-connector.
I screwed it onto the pot, also I can fill buckets here, sometimes it can be useful.
It has been working for 3 months so far and I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Really, really useful home automation.
As an alternative you could just buy a system that does it all, but that's not the way I
make my mom proud.
All the links to the items I used and the arduino code, everything is in the description.
Let me know how you feel about this project by liking or disliking this video, leave your
comments below.
In the next videos I'm going to electricute myself to make my palms sweat less, I'm going
to build a really cool and simple air humidifier, automate shower temperature, 3d print water
pump blades to double it's pressure.
So subscribe because I do this kind of stuff a lot and want to show you everything.
See you in the next one.
BYEEEEEE!!!
