V36 telsa screens from Alibaba

[Shortimus]

Sooo i saw a post from 2019 regarding these however nothing recent, has anyone bought and installed one of these? if so share the experience and would you recommend?

Also any other aftermarket systems you have replaced the head deck with?

What is your end goal? Is it to have Android Auto/Car Play? If so, you can get a module install to retain the factory screens.

im just kind of over the japanese OEM screen honestly and i love the look of the Tesla screens in the v36. What is the module and where do you source these from?

You could get the android tesla screens - they are getting better with the newer versions since they use newer chipsets etc. You may get issues installing them if they send you a wrong harness and in some cases some features may not work. I can understand wanting to change. I went through a year of looking to change mine but decided not to after seeing how much f**king around it needed (this was when these were first released and many people were doing testing and talking to the manufacturer to get different things programmed for different variations of the car in USDM/JDM etc.

The module currently in my V36 is from Naviplus. It's local and so far my AV guy have had good support from the guys at Naviplus.

Ill check it out, Yeah ive seen some people still have issues with the screens re installation and such especially with the reverse camera.

But hey, i may just bite the bullet and get one and see how we go.

The only other thing I can say is the build quality was not great and did not look good. A few people I know ended up wrapping up the plastic trims etc. but your car, your call.

I am NOT recommending this unit, and only know what I can see from the link below. I only post it because I have not seen anyone mention it.

Things to note:

• Its an Australian based company
• The unit is $519, but once you add the min expected things such as a reverse camera, its $715 (scroll down) before installation
• It basically looks to be an android phone/tablet, and 3GB RAM is not a lot.

Another place to check about these would by an android forum such as:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/teyesaustralia.11474311/

https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/android-head-units.4267/

Personally, I have my center screen translated, and use my phone for very good Audio (possibly not installable on this unit?), and navigation (Waze, which could be installed, but I am rooted/jailbroken and have modified it to remove the ads ect etc) and also ODBII over bluetooth. I also kind of like having a second screen (ie the phone) purposefully for Nav. And it kina looks a little bit like a tack-on with sticky tape.

I recently installed one of the 12.1 tesla screens in my 08 V36 (Nav, bose, rev & side cam) that I bought on Amazon (SHRZR i think the brand was). I msg'd the seller first with my car details and they sent me extra harnesses, but no instructions.
The 6gb of ram and 128gb internal storage is excellent, nothing lags, I've installed poweramp, waze, Newpipe and Novalauncher plus widgets etc... All very snappy. Installation was a fkin pain, but I think that was mostly my inexperience. It was hard to find support/information on it because there are SO many different chinese headunits. The firmware was barebones and missing features listed in the add. But installing Novalauncher fixed pretty much everything software wise except one thing. This unit aquires the time by gps or phone signal, which ever is available. Both antenna are weak. So on a rainy or cloudy day, it can take almost 10 minutes to display the correct time & date lol.
Here's the one i bought, I left the 4 star review.

Looks great!!

I always ummed and arrred about getting one. 

[colin.ssc]

Yea me too, the first couple of years since they made it was pretty tough with things not working or it being too slow and stuff. Glad to see that it's refined quite abit now.

Note, I put an expired sim card in the screen and its acquiring the time within a minute or so now.

Did you happen to take any photos of the harness?
