I super appreciate the early video on this...you were one of the first out there to show this aside from us during development of the unit. Thanks for taking a chance on KnightDriveTV and one of the most complex things I have ever developed in my life...lol. As a former forced induction fabrication shop, then engine management tuning guy to developing radio/hvac systems....getting this done was TOUGH. The hvac system really tortured me, but so pumped to see folks like yourself out there installing it and running it. More to come for C4, C5 and C6 from KnightDriveTV ahead!
I don’t get all the hate on this product. Every new car has a screen in it, even C8’s. This has physical buttons to replace every physical button that was removed, so it seems well thought out. Nice upgrade IMO.
Hey, I just got around to putting the Knightdrive unit in my 13 c6 I replaced the rears and door uppers to jl audio left the factory subwoofers in the doors. I lost 80% of bass and For the life of me I cannot get it back. I was wondering what you set all your audio to. " hpf lpf and bass boost. Including your equalizer. Thank you Martin Ehrlich
Id rather have an outdated AC unit than one that requires touch screen use. You cant tell me that is easier than the twin knob. Just do a double din with the features you want like everyone else with half a brain @str8speed919
Just bought a 2008 Corvette with the Max-Din unit. It will not stay on wifi coming grom my phone hotspot. It stays for a minute and then drops out. It also keeps looking for the previous owner (Patrick with an IPhone) I have an Android phone. Is their any help desk or technical help for this unit, An owners manual would be nice,
Great (Excellent) video..... does the Apple Car Play work via BlueTooth or do you have to be connected via one of the USB ports. Are you happy with your purchase now that it's been several months? I am so close to buying but it's a lot of money. (Looks worth it though!). Thanks for any additional insight.
It works through Bluetooth. I usually plug my phone up though to charge. It’s a great unit. Did you see my promo code in the description? It should still work. Also, look at my other video where you can access performance pages with the unit.
@@str8speed919 Thanks for the reply... I did see the promo code but perhaps they modified it because using it gets me $100 off, not the full $275. (Still a good discount when tryin to et the cost down). I subscribed to your channel, and did watch the installation of the rear, front, and dash-cam cameras which was also very well done. (Not sure how much I would use the front camera though.) I will now go look for the video with the "performance pages" may be enough to push me over the top! Thanks again!
There is a company that sells a sweet mount that powers up from your rear view mirror. No more cords and it comes on automatically with ignition. Sorry I can't remember the company but I've had one for about 5 years and it is amazing with no cord.
Blend mount is the black anodized rear view mirror mount for your radar detector and they also sell a wiretap that connects to a power wire on the back of the rear view mirror.
@@davidnclearlaketx thats interesting. I contacted blendmount. they told me the following "Unfortunately our C6 mounts have been discontinued. They mounted differently then all of our other mounts, and we can no longer get the parts needed to make them. Sorry about that."
I forgot to ask you the other day is your promo code still working for the latest batch of the C6 MaxDin units? If I don't need the cameras since I already have them I wonder if Damian would cut me a deal? 👍🙏😁
@@str8speed919 Thank you! Where did you mount the two 4G cellular antennas? I was thinking in the Left/Right A pillars? Or the top of the windshield L/R.
It’s a great product. Plenty of room for improvements. I would like to see an adapter made that will work with C7&C8 seats so we can use the ventilated seats via touchscreen. Did you get 2 cameras?
@Str8 Speed91 I just got mine in the mail, did your stock radio have two plugs grey and black? The grey one matches up to the new C6 Max Din, but I don't see anywhere for the black one to plug into. Any help here?
I wish you would have let the map load. Could you do a follow up video with a review since you've had it? Or maybe you using it daily with the map. Using Waze would be dope. I bet you'd get a lot of views. I can't be the only wondering about it. I'm right on the fence about buying one of these Thanks either way. Appreciate the video
Sorry I did have to edit out showing the map because it showed my address. I will try to do a driving Nav video of it as well after my rear view camera comes in
@@str8speed919 makes total sense. Lol didn't think about that. My b. That would be awesome bro. Especially because you're basically the only one ATM doing reviews on this.
As said by others it looks really clean, but, it doesn’t feel right in there. Plus IMO a touch screen is very distracting when you need to take your eyes off the road to read what function you want. Give me analog any day of the week in any car so I can intuitively adjust my controls by feel. I think these touch screens are PART of the problem of distracted driving.
The best thing about it is all my heat/ac have hard buttons and I have hard buttons on the steering wheel for audio stuff and answering calls. Not much of a distraction when you still have physical buttons for everything you need.
@@str8speed919 That’s what I mean about analog. I have a 2005 there were no steering wheel controls. Then again most of the time I don’t even have the radio on!🤪
Crappy idea, now you have a touch screen that requires you to look away for even more things than a double din swap for the same functionality. It also shoves part of the screen down low enough to have the shifter in the way in 1st, 3rd, or 5th gear. Stop doing stuff that makes your car objectively worse. Get a double din, keep the dual knobs.
It works great. I still have physical climate control buttons on the sides if you pay attention. Also, have factory steering wheel controls for calls and music. I don’t see the distraction when driving. It just modernizes the outdated interior.

Thank you for all of the effort you have put into this product.
Here's hoping you see success with this product. Looks amazing.
2006 C6 owner here…..quick question, did you have to disconnect the car battery for the install of the MaxDin unit?
Can you see yourself building a digital gauge for the C6 too?
This is EXACTLY what ive been looking for!!
It’s awesome! I was one of the first to get it in the beta testing
Very cool, I've seen this on one other video. I'm glad you did this...now I have to get one when I get my FIRST corvette lol!!!
Go for it!
Love it! Definitely modernizes the C6 interior.
Definitely!
That's freaking awesome,I'm definitely getting a unit for my C6
Go for it!
Very impressive. Think I’ll put one in my C6.
This is a crazy ass intro view. 😂😂 bro you look like the meme of "dad's social media profile picture." Great content though, this is my VERY next buy!
Definitely getting this
I've been wanting to do a similar set up in my vette for the longest
Absolutely amazing! The price hurts, though. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah the price is really the only downfall.
Did you buy one yet? I have a discount code if you haven’t.
@@str8speed919what’s the code?
Nice! Makes me wish that I still had my c6!!
It truly is a game changer on the interior
Man that is super cool! Beautiful C6 by the way 🙌🏽
Thanks!
Super clean look
Is there any platform like this for the c5 community?
It’s in the finally stages of development now. I believe they are about to send out the beta test units soon.
I don’t get all the hate on this product. Every new car has a screen in it, even C8’s. This has physical buttons to replace every physical button that was removed, so it seems well thought out. Nice upgrade IMO.
That thing looks pretty cool.
Hows the audio quality? Ive had android based units in other vehicles and the Bluetooth/carplay audio quality was terrible.
Audio quality is good. This was specifically addressed for this unit to ensure it was not going to be an issue.
I know he went over this but im still confused if im running external amplifier do i need the bose plug

I need to make a video on this. There are some settings you can adjust to get it back. I will have to look when I get the chance.
Ok, great. I appreciate it!!
Do we get to keep our heads up display with this? Looks like everything else works well.
Yes
I think the idea is good, but to me it just looks out of place in a c6. I prefer an aftermarket double din radio. Nice clean install though.
The C6 is my favorite body style. I’ve just always thought the interior was too outdated especially on my 2013. This checks one of the boxes for me.

KnightDriveTV MaxDin Support Group is where we’re are at on Facebook. Post your issues there and we will help where we can.
I would love that for 2005
Thx for the video, keep it coming, I want to get one, but not slid on it yet.
Have you bought one yet?
Yeap
It looks sweet
Thanks
does it do wireless car play using the apple phone or do you have to hook it up to the cable?
Wireless. I always plug mine up to charge it as well.
Great (Excellent) video..... does the Apple Car Play work via BlueTooth or do you have to be connected via one of the USB ports. Are you happy with your purchase now that it's been several months?

U still got heated seats ?
Yeah
where do you plug your radar detector in now that the cigarette lighter/accessory has been removed?
I removed my plug. I say others still needing that plug remove it from the casing and plug what they need to then stow it away underneath the screen.
There is a company that sells a sweet mount that powers up from your rear view mirror. No more cords and it comes on automatically with ignition. Sorry I can't remember the company but I've had one for about 5 years and it is amazing with no cord.

Where can I purchase this? Is there a website
KnightDriveTV.com use discount code TJBerrier for $175 off.
is there anything like this available for a C5?
Almost they are finishing everything up for it. Check out @knightdrivetv
How is it holding up?
It’s great. Going to install 3 cameras soon.
What do you think after having it for 2 months? Mine just came in.
It’s a great product. Plenty of room for improvements. I would like to see an adapter made that will work with C7&C8 seats so we can use the ventilated seats via touchscreen. Did you get 2 cameras?
So it does well with the iPhone? This seems like a great upgrade.
Yes it works fine with mine.
@Str8 Speed91 I just got mine in the mail, did your stock radio have two plugs grey and black? The grey one matches up to the new C6 Max Din, but I don't see anywhere for the black one to plug into. Any help here?
I think there were 3 plugs down where the climate module is at. Is that what you’re talking about?
My GPS doesn’t work with the system and how did you get Netflix to come on when I tap Netflix it doesn’t come on any ideas
At home I was connected to home WiFi and on the road I use my hotspot from my phone.
Kick ass upgrade! I purchased one as well.
It’s awesome!
Do you need a harness for the install or does this connect directly into the c6 connectors?
where did you end up routing the usb ports to plug your phones in?
I routed them into the center glove compartment area.
@@str8speed919 that's what came to mind because I didn't see them that's what's up that's clean! Thanks brotha
I see they sell the screen protector. Did you get it?
No. I’m waiting for the matte anti glare one to be released. You don’t want a glossy one.

Any updated feedback? Any regrets?
We're you not getting power at first? If so what wad the fix
Nice.
How long did installation take?
Like an hour and a half with doing video clips.
Link for the unit by any chance, manufacturer etc?? Thanks in advance and Very well done!!👊
If you go down to the description, the direct link should be down there. I know he was accepting preorders.
Did you purchase one yet? If not, I have a discount code for $275 off.
Love it! I will not have to miss my Tesla
Yeah it’s awesome!
How does it connect to wifi? Do you need to subscribe to Verizon or something?
You can use a hotspot off your phone on the road or a sim with a data plan. I also connect to my home WiFi if downloading new apps.
Parts cost & links?
In the description below. There is a promo code too.
Does it have CarPlay?
Yes it does.
Did the unit not power on?
It shows it on during the video.
My screen did not power on
Ac turns on with buttons but no screen it's black
How do I get one??
Check my description below the video and be sure to use the promo code to get a discount.
Anyone knows if this system comes with the top console cover or will it have to be modified to the system
You use your center console with no modifications.
Very cool.
Definitely a game changer!
Might have to save up to get one. I like the look. I just want to see How well they hold up in the heat inside a car before i pull the trigger..

Why not an Apple iOS operating system
I think Android is more friendly for this. I don’t know of one that purely runs off of Apple IOS.
@@str8speed919how did you set up Apple car play on it ? If you covered it in the video my bad. Could u drop a time stamp if so
I like it, except for the climate controls being on the screen. That's a pet peeve of mine.
There are physical buttons on the side to control all of it as well. Only the heated seats are screen only.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looks great! until you have to fix it...
Doesn’t everything? It has a warranty.
he has videos with the back of the unit anyway
Of the prototypes yes but not the finished product.
My grand sport has no screen. The way it should be.
It’s nice in a daily. Gets used everyday.
Looks like cheap China electronics
looks nice to me, factory looking actually.
As oppsed to American made electronics that dont exist 🤣

It’s fast enough for a daily. Would rather have this feature in a daily driver.
$1500 smackers.......nope
Yeah definitely not cheap.
