I am a bit confused about something. I got the unit and when I look at the main harness there is only wiring for the front speakers. yet I have a Bose 8 speaker system in my 2007 escalade . how is this supposed to power all 9 speakers with only front speakers on the harness? Now I've seen plenty of people in stall these units online. some people say only the front audio works. Could it be because a harness is missing? I say this because based upon wiring schematics the rear speakers are on a separate harness feed. I have not installed mine yet but this harness looks to be inadequate unless there is like some Bose crossover trick I'm unaware of. please advise
I had my radio for about 6 months it just started turning off And if I disconnect the power and reconnected it comes on but only for a short time as soon as I start to play the radio it turns off do you have any advice for me with this situation thanks in advance

Hey what’s up could you send me a link or explain to me how you install the analyze or equalizer whatever is called above the radio I noticed that you replace the clock please let me know
Hows the radio to date, and is the radio a major step up from stock, sound quality, color, etc and how would you power the spectrum analyzer to the oem radio.
At 16 months in this radio is still going strong. I have encountered 2 hard freezes and 3x where the top touch panel had become unresponsive. The hard freeze required fuse under hood to pulled. The touch panel issue fixes itself after a restart from over night or a fuse pull.
There’s a way to grab a clean, preamp signal from the wires that goes into the rear of the factory head unit. I’d have to take mine out to give the colors. Is the Tesla screen able to dim w/ the stick by the headlight knob or it’s in the control settings on the radio?
What's up bro, I've just put my system into my ext . Running two amplifier, now my there is no sound coming from the radio, and the amplifier is not on. The radio is on but no sound and ive just removed the converter to plug into to the rca but it not working .can you kindly help me out. Will greatly appreciated it
No that will not be needed,but a module is needed to retain use of factory rear entertainment. I believe the p# is gmrv2 . If aftermarket entertainment is installed in the rear like my 22" monitor,this module is not needed since the monitor can plug directly into the radio.
Thanks, I love mine and finished the highs install, changing profile. The bass coming directly from the Android is pure and clean with no Bose shaping. www.ebay.com/itm/3-12-OLED-Music-Spectrum-Display-Analyzer-Audio-Level-Indicator-Black-Case/273836040379?hash=item3fc1e660bb:g:rj0AAOSwh8tcyQHT
@@josepholvera3607 my original order was a 6.0 through Phoenix,once they took so long to ship (7 weeks) I cancelled it because I had learned 6.0 couldn't do video out. FFWD a month later, the seller on Alibaba told me that they had gotten 7.1s in and confirmed video out though the messenger,with multiple videos so I ordered immediately. As video out was a requirement for me, some people it doesn't matter.
@@josepholvera3607 IDK what you mean but my video out is a video out. There is no subwoofer out on my model. I have video out 1, video out 2 (yellow), audio front left/right out, audio rear left/right. I have the Front/Rear goin to a CXR7 crossover which gives me sub out that's controllable with bass knob.
Rear speakers not working! Has anyone run into this? I connected all the harnesses that came with it. I have both front left and right speakers along with the center dash speaker, but nothing is coming from the rear door speakers or rear pillar speakers. I think there is a harness missing as they only provided 3 block harnesses when there are 4 factory blocks to connect to. I have a 2014 Escalade ESV Luxury. I will be using a LCI2 to connect the front speakers so that I can sub outputs. Any help here would be awesome! Also do the 4 RCA output connectors output any audio? I was hoping to run those to the door speakers
Hey if you have audio at all you definitely have a issue somewhere along the path after your factory amp. These radios (going the direct plug in route & as I did initially in this very video with LCi2) will only pump 2 channel audio to factory amp and then the factory amp will push audio to the remaining speaker. Im unsure if my D- pillars worked in this case but I think they did. When I bypassed the factory amp,going full 4 RCA for all audio (severing the audio connection with the factory amp) the D- pillars dont work as obviously they're not hooked into anything anymore. Hope that helps.
Mine just worked, be sure you have it plugged into right harness (it physically can fit into the grey RSE connector). My connection was brown on my 2009. imgur.com/a/DvoPNe6
Hey bruh, enjoying your video on the Phoenix radio for cadillac. So I do have a few questions. 1st was this radio worth the $800? 2nd question did you have to buy any additional pieces In order to connect the Phoenix in in escalate?
Yes, Ive had a few hiccups where I needed to do a few resets over the time. But all my apps (APK) and music and downloaded TH-cam music videos are loaded on my (2) 512gb thumb drive...even the audio settings. So a reset isnt really a big deal bcs you basically lose nothing. No actual music,apps are stored on the 32gb internal HDD. If they were, as expected..they wouldn't survive a reset. The newest model changes a few things but not for the better in my case.
@@ericjohnson3222 Is what a single or 6 disc? Was my truck that originally? If so,yes my truck was an original single disc drive Navigation and underneath had a 6 disc DVD player slot.
Easiest way is thru the settings and in wifi. 1st go online and save a 768x1024 picture of an EXT to your 10.4., I like to put stuff in download folder. Then go to boot logo under settings and select that image from Download folder. imgur.com/a/rQGnSDE

@@lynwardflorence2971 oh the desktop icon truck, I've seen the file location when running a different launcher (car launcher) and Im sure they can be modded out. Im back on stock as you can see in the video. Phoenix put a link on their FB I found from a lil sleuthing I'll link at bottom but try at your own risk (it'll either work or wont). If I have time I will reinstall Car Launcher this weekend to see how did I see those images of all the cars. Just a heads-up, Car Launcher gets access to all sorts of things that for other cars, so be careful prodding around. bit.ly/2TkN0GZ
I have a Tahoe will I be able to run amps and subs with this radio ? Was u able to get ur flip down tv to work ? Wonder if I can get a DVD player n run it separately hmm
1) Yes, however there is only front/rear RCA output. Im using a CXR7 3 way crossover which gives a separated sub output controllable by a bass knob and has a built-in line driver. 2)th-cam.com/video/I58YnhIJYas/w-d-xo.html remember only certain models have video out, message seller in the link and specifically tell them that. 3) yes, i have USB DVD player. It leaves Alot to be desired and and very cumbersome to use. I ended up using Handbrake program on my PC to dump movies to my 256gb thumbdrive. The radio really is built around be disc-less. There are 2 USB ports and any combination of DVD/thumbdrive or thumbdrive/thumbdrive works. These were great questions!!!!
Link in description, at the time of this video there was no model other than this one that provided video out. Phoenix model incorrectly listed that it did & coupled with the absurd wait and no communication from them is why I recommend people avoid them. This was my 1st purchase on Alibaba & seller I used communication was top notch from day 1. Its possible Phoenix has gotten their act together but I'll pass. Use your American Express if you do decide to go with Phoenix...Amex gets right to the point with complaints.
This is an excellent video ty vm. Please wtf is in your clock spot? Can u change colors and how do I get one. Also what brand radio. Is there a link? I deff wanna buy one. Thanks again for this great vud

Bro, I finally got my radio installed. But now, my battery keeps dying if I let my truck sit for more than 24 hours. Did you have this issue? If so, how did you fix it?
Nice set up. You mentioned that you have subs n a aftermarket amp in the back, and that you ran a L.O.C down the driver side of the console and connected it to your factory sub. Did you have any problem with the automatic noise cancelation system? I ran a L.O.C up under the cup holder and tied into the 4 speaker wires but as soon as i close my door I get a hum out of my aftermarket sub in the back that goes up and down with the idle of the engine. If I open the door the hum will go away. I appreciate it if you could tell me how you connected your L.O.C. thank you.
When I had the loc (LC2i) in my system, with factory headunit and with Android radio in video I experienced zero interference. I also tapped into those 4 wires under cupholder to feed the LOC a signal. It functioned perfectly fine and the only reason it was removed was because A) I went full aftermarket for highs, which eliminated the stock amp that was high level for the factor sub that we tapped into and B)The Bose system rolls off at around 47hz I believe, so if your using those wires as a source the bass never really smacked down low on certain tracks (play Master P Golds In The Mouth or Nicole Wray Make It Hot). Care to list which LOC you bought, FYI didn't use any of them weird auto turn on features from AudioControl. In both stock and Android I had a true 12v switched wire turning the LOC and amp on.
@@2muchspl thanks for the quick response. The L.O.C I used is is a Audiopipe APNR-RM It also has a 12v constant and a remote wire. My system will hit hard just when I turn down the volume or mute the music it will have that loud hum that goes up n down with the idle of the engine. Yet if I open any door it will go away. I wired it before the wires go into the amp to the solid green (+) n light blue with black stripe (-) n blue with white stripe (+)n light green with black stripe (-) if i turn the outputs up torwards back to highs (almost all the way) it will go away a lil but i can only turn the bass remote 3 notches n the hum will start again.
@@fernandoramos7679 Its possible the LOC you're using is bad or has a ground loop buzz. The wires under the cupholder in this thread is what I used ( bit.ly/3eV0t1L ). These wires are coming from the factory amp to the factory sub in high level. Think you tapped the correct wires???
@@2muchspl alright thank you, im gunna click on da link and see what it shows. Hopefully I can get it going, I will let you know if I figure it out incase someone else runs into the same problem as me.
@@2muchspl I just though about it after reading your reply again, n Im pretty sure the wires i listed r coming from the deck to the amp. I think I need to go your route n tap da wires from amp to sub. By the way i have the premium bose amp system. I guess there is two different types Bose uses in Cadillacs that i know of. I have 2010 cts also all factory audio system n it sounds way better than my factory system in my Escalade. Was your factory Bose system the premium amp or the more powerful amp (Luxury i think Bose calls it)?
Nice video good look. Will def try out the Cruze theme. What kind of screen do u have above the radio. I have a 4.3in monitor but I'm gona put it in and mouth it flat, urs is actually straight and looks nice. What's around the edges of the small screen what kind of screen did u use.
Thanks!!! This is a cheap analyzer I got from eBay, I was tempted to do an LCD there for dedicated rear cam but couldn't find anything that fit. Originally during test fit phase I had it flushed just like how the clock fit. The sun however made it hard to view, so I recessed it back (cutting the clock mount structure). I used cardboard and wrapped in it in matte black vinyl to form the side/base with the goal of getting it 3D scanned and printed in ABS. It turned out so nice I decided to leave it. It powers off with truck and is being fed by a line level convertor>rca 3.5mm jack. ebay.to/2JGzyt1 (let me know if link does or doesn't work please)
@@2muchspl yes that ebay listing worked, damn 53 bucks that's alot lol. Might have to wait to get that but that's nice. I have the 4.3 monitor it fits pretty nice, I only wanted to have a digital clock or maybe going to get one of those HuD display, but the ones that come with a monitor not the projector so it will display the speed and it connects right to ur obd2 under the dash.
@@antcap503 yes that $53 stings, it was the 1st one I saw just now but its tons of people selling them. I paid like $40, which is still pricey. Got a link to that monitor you used?
There is a small overlap on the passenger side. U can shift the radio to where its on driver side or passenger side. I chose passenger side so that its hidden from passengers. You honestly have to LOOK for it to see it.
Hey how's it goin...I just have a quick question...I have the same headunit in my escalade...did u have to get a separate harness for your flip down to play with the screen?
Yes, its included with the radio. I can add a link from Imgur on what it looks like later (or search my name on there). Its like a 10 pin wire harness with 2 video outs and a video/audio in.
DVD option sucks, I bought it too. This is made to be all USB thumb drive. Its actually so much easier. Even the cheap old school 2.0 USB work. I have a (2) 512gb thumb drives in mine now. More space than I'll ever need
Wussup brotha was looking to get one to upgrade but I have 2 factory drop down tvs in my ESV. Is this compatible, or do I have to buy something to make it work? Thanks for the help 💪🏽💯
I cant properly test this but you will need i believe a GMRVD (2007-11) or GMRVD2 (2012+) harness. This harness does a few things: 1) allows OEM Nav to send vid to aftermarket flipdown 2)allows aftermarket radio to send video to to OEM flipdown. I originally had this harness installed before I went Android with Option 1. It plugs in on a grey (IIRC) plug that was plugged into OEM Nav and turns it into a RCA. The RCA then connects to video out of Android.
@@FrankieBlaQ Its honestly not,ebay & Amazon. On the back of the OEM radio its 4 separate harnesses that go into it that give it power,sounds,rear cam,etc. 1 of those 4 harnesses is video out/in. This GMVRD harness plugs into that and gives you a traditional yellow/red/white jack. The GMVRD harness only fits 1 of the 4 OEM harnesses behind the radio that you will unhook to do a radio swap. The Android radio will be plugged into 2 of the 3 remaining harnesses (power and rear cam). The Android radio harness plugs directly into the Cadillac harness unlike if you were to swap in a Alpine,JVC, Kenwood,etc. Google that harness and watch this th-cam.com/video/uMjwhOeoD4U/w-d-xo.html to visualize what I typed.
2muchspl My guy very informative I might just move forward with the conversion I really appreciate your time and looking out for me. If I run into any issues or. Questions I’ll let you know and hopefully you can help. Thanks again stay blessed brotha 💪🏽💯

No not at all, its still installed. The only issue I have is I will lose the 'menu' button in upper right hand corner. A factory reset is the only way to fix that. My issue only happens 1x every 5 months or so. Confirm your radio suspicions by unplugging it for a day. What fuses are blowing?

Can you leave All the Descriptions of the Aftermarket Amps and Speakers you replaced the factory ones with?
Thank you My friend, Is there any way to stop auto reply/ accepting calls during driving
I believe its in a hidden menu, mine definitely does not auto answer.
I am a bit confused about something. I got the unit and when I look at the main harness there is only wiring for the front speakers. yet I have a Bose 8 speaker system in my 2007 escalade . how is this supposed to power all 9 speakers with only front speakers on the harness? Now I've seen plenty of people in stall these units online. some people say only the front audio works. Could it be because a harness is missing? I say this because based upon wiring schematics the rear speakers are on a separate harness feed. I have not installed mine yet but this harness looks to be inadequate unless there is like some Bose crossover trick I'm unaware of. please advise
hi 2muchspl, purchase a tesla 10.3 screen .. can not get the Boise speaker to work. help me.
I had my radio for about 6 months it just started turning off And if I disconnect the power and reconnected it comes on but only for a short time as soon as I start to play the radio it turns off do you have any advice for me with this situation thanks in advance
I have a PX6 my sound cuts off and on randomly. Any suggestions?
Hi does the rear monitor still work after installing that Tesla style radio
No u have to buy a harness
Does the radio dvd connect to stock tvs?
Thanks for the video big bro!
To answer your question yes it can, you have to buy the axxessinterfaces.com/product/GMRSAV
Im interested in purchasing this unit. Does this support apple car play or android auto?
Is this the phoenixaudio unit? Sucks about the volume with the factory amp
Respect bro. Thanks this worked for me too
Hey man! What kind of rear entertainment are you running? My boy loooves watching his movies but I'm not feeling the 480p screen.
Yes that is a flaw with the output being on a yellow composite jack. Hopefully future models will be HDMI out.
Hey @much if you still have your Escalade how were able to get the rear screen the display a movie. I tried two different harness still not working for me on My 2008 EXT.

Its a few thats around $45 if you search ebay, I got black casing with white screen
Hey what’s up could you send me a link or explain to me how you install the analyze or equalizer whatever is called above the radio I noticed that you replace the clock please let me know
Hows the radio to date, and is the radio a major step up from stock, sound quality, color, etc and how would you power the spectrum analyzer to the oem radio.
At 16 months in this radio is still going strong. I have encountered 2 hard freezes and 3x where the top touch panel had become unresponsive. The hard freeze required fuse under hood to pulled. The touch panel issue fixes itself after a restart from over night or a fuse pull.
There’s a way to grab a clean, preamp signal from the wires that goes into the rear of the factory head unit. I’d have to take mine out to give the colors. Is the Tesla screen able to dim w/ the stick by the headlight knob or it’s in the control settings on the radio?
Should be at the top of the screen

What's up bro, I've just put my system into my ext . Running two amplifier, now my there is no sound coming from the radio, and the amplifier is not on. The radio is on but no sound and ive just removed the converter to plug into to the rca but it not working .can you kindly help me out. Will greatly appreciated it
Do you need the Bose interface module for it to work properly?
No that will not be needed,but a module is needed to retain use of factory rear entertainment. I believe the p# is gmrv2 . If aftermarket entertainment is installed in the rear like my 22" monitor,this module is not needed since the monitor can plug directly into the radio.
Got this awhile ago and still cant figure out how to make the overhead screen work with it
Where did you run the eq to?
Will this work for 07 escalade base model
Yes it should, 2007-2014 model years

You think 6.0 is good I’m trying to cancel order but I haven’t been able to get a hold of them
@@josepholvera3607 my original order was a 6.0 through Phoenix,once they took so long to ship (7 weeks) I cancelled it because I had learned 6.0 couldn't do video out. FFWD a month later, the seller on Alibaba told me that they had gotten 7.1s in and confirmed video out though the messenger,with multiple videos so I ordered immediately. As video out was a requirement for me, some people it doesn't matter.
2muchspl the video out is for subwoofer amp
@@josepholvera3607 IDK what you mean but my video out is a video out. There is no subwoofer out on my model. I have video out 1, video out 2 (yellow), audio front left/right out, audio rear left/right. I have the Front/Rear goin to a CXR7 crossover which gives me sub out that's controllable with bass knob.
How can I recalibrate the screen. ?
Rear speakers not working! Has anyone run into this? I connected all the harnesses that came with it. I have both front left and right speakers along with the center dash speaker, but nothing is coming from the rear door speakers or rear pillar speakers. I think there is a harness missing as they only provided 3 block harnesses when there are 4 factory blocks to connect to. I have a 2014 Escalade ESV Luxury. I will be using a LCI2 to connect the front speakers so that I can sub outputs. Any help here would be awesome!
Also do the 4 RCA output connectors output any audio? I was hoping to run those to the door speakers
Hey if you have audio at all you definitely have a issue somewhere along the path after your factory amp. These radios (going the direct plug in route & as I did initially in this very video with LCi2) will only pump 2 channel audio to factory amp and then the factory amp will push audio to the remaining speaker. Im unsure if my D- pillars worked in this case but I think they did. When I bypassed the factory amp,going full 4 RCA for all audio (severing the audio connection with the factory amp) the D- pillars dont work as obviously they're not hooked into anything anymore. Hope that helps.
When I got to the Cruz L and hit ok it made my screen turn black like if my radio was off and I can't see anything on the screen
How do I change the car graphic
How did you get the factory back up camera to work and or the front cam that it comes with
Mine just worked, be sure you have it plugged into right harness (it physically can fit into the grey RSE connector). My connection was brown on my 2009.

I think "console" is for the climate control for vehicles with the automated dual-zone system.
Does the parking lines work with the hack up cam?
Yep, fix solid grid and the steering wheel enabled moving style (when steering turns,the lines on camera turn to where its aimed in real time)

Hey bruh, enjoying your video on the Phoenix radio for cadillac. So I do have a few questions. 1st was this radio worth the $800? 2nd question did you have to buy any additional pieces In order to connect the Phoenix in in escalate?
Yes, Ive had a few hiccups where I needed to do a few resets over the time. But all my apps (APK) and music and downloaded TH-cam music videos are loaded on my (2) 512gb thumb drive...even the audio settings. So a reset isnt really a big deal bcs you basically lose nothing. No actual music,apps are stored on the 32gb internal HDD. If they were, as expected..they wouldn't survive a reset. The newest model changes a few things but not for the better in my case.
@@2muchspl is it a single player or factory 6 disc
@@ericjohnson3222 Is what a single or 6 disc? Was my truck that originally? If so,yes my truck was an original single disc drive Navigation and underneath had a 6 disc DVD player slot.
How did you change your screen image? I have the ext and the regular Escalade kind of throws me off?
Easiest way is thru the settings and in wifi. 1st go online and save a 768x1024 picture of an EXT to your 10.4., I like to put stuff in download folder. Then go to boot logo under settings and select that image from Download folder.

Thanks but I asked the wrong question. How do you change the home screen pic, not the boot pic. The pic of the white Escalade suv that's always on screen with your time and Calendar. Thanks in advance.
@@lynwardflorence2971 oh the desktop icon truck, I've seen the file location when running a different launcher (car launcher) and Im sure they can be modded out. Im back on stock as you can see in the video. Phoenix put a link on their FB I found from a lil sleuthing I'll link at bottom but try at your own risk (it'll either work or wont). If I have time I will reinstall Car Launcher this weekend to see how did I see those images of all the cars.

Do you lose rear AC control and rear heated seats?
No, all still functional and fully working
I have a Tahoe will I be able to run amps and subs with this radio ? Was u able to get ur flip down tv to work ? Wonder if I can get a DVD player n run it separately hmm
1) Yes, however there is only front/rear RCA output. Im using a CXR7 3 way crossover which gives a separated sub output controllable by a bass knob and has a built-in line driver.
2)th-cam.com/video/I58YnhIJYas/w-d-xo.html remember only certain models have video out, message seller in the link and specifically tell them that.
3) yes, i have USB DVD player. It leaves
Alot to be desired and and very cumbersome to use. I ended up using Handbrake program on my PC to dump movies to my 256gb thumbdrive. The radio really is built around be disc-less. There are 2 USB ports and any combination of DVD/thumbdrive or thumbdrive/thumbdrive works.
These were great questions!!!!
Is it anyway to connect the phone to use data for music and movies with out internet
Yes, you can (usually) make phone a hotspot and radio will find it. Some carriers have plans where they bundle in 10GB of hotspot per month.
Did you have to trim your dash piece to make it fit? Mine will not fit inside the cutout area at all.
Mine doesnt as well, I opted to make the driverside flush and let passenger side stay raised. That way only driver sees the slight imperfection.
You mentioned not buying your unit from Phoenix. Where can I find one with rear video out. Looking to switch out stick unit
Link in description, at the time of this video there was no model other than this one that provided video out. Phoenix model incorrectly listed that it did & coupled with the absurd wait and no communication from them is why I recommend people avoid them. This was my 1st purchase on Alibaba & seller I used communication was top notch from day 1. Its possible Phoenix has gotten their act together but I'll pass. Use your American Express if you do decide to go with Phoenix...Amex gets right to the point with complaints.

I'm having problems connecting wifi and can't connect my android phone?
Bro, I finally got my radio installed. But now, my battery keeps dying if I let my truck sit for more than 24 hours. Did you have this issue? If so, how did you fix it?
Run a second battery for your audio or get a second alternator
Nice set up. You mentioned that you have subs n a aftermarket amp in the back, and that you ran a L.O.C down the driver side of the console and connected it to your factory sub. Did you have any problem with the automatic noise cancelation system? I ran a L.O.C up under the cup holder and tied into the 4 speaker wires but as soon as i close my door I get a hum out of my aftermarket sub in the back that goes up and down with the idle of the engine. If I open the door the hum will go away. I appreciate it if you could tell me how you connected your L.O.C. thank you.
When I had the loc (LC2i) in my system, with factory headunit and with Android radio in video I experienced zero interference. I also tapped into those 4 wires under cupholder to feed the LOC a signal. It functioned perfectly fine and the only reason it was removed was because A) I went full aftermarket for highs, which eliminated the stock amp that was high level for the factor sub that we tapped into and B)The Bose system rolls off at around 47hz I believe, so if your using those wires as a source the bass never really smacked down low on certain tracks (play Master P Golds In The Mouth or Nicole Wray Make It Hot). Care to list which LOC you bought, FYI didn't use any of them weird auto turn on features from AudioControl. In both stock and Android I had a true 12v switched wire turning the LOC and amp on.
@@2muchspl thanks for the quick response. The L.O.C I used is is a Audiopipe APNR-RM It also has a 12v constant and a remote wire. My system will hit hard just when I turn down the volume or mute the music it will have that loud hum that goes up n down with the idle of the engine. Yet if I open any door it will go away. I wired it before the wires go into the amp to the solid green (+) n light blue with black stripe (-) n blue with white stripe (+)n light green with black stripe (-) if i turn the outputs up torwards back to highs (almost all the way) it will go away a lil but i can only turn the bass remote 3 notches n the hum will start again.
@@fernandoramos7679 Its possible the LOC you're using is bad or has a ground loop buzz. The wires under the cupholder in this thread is what I used ( bit.ly/3eV0t1L ). These wires are coming from the factory amp to the factory sub in high level. Think you tapped the correct wires???
@@2muchspl alright thank you, im gunna click on da link and see what it shows. Hopefully I can get it going, I will let you know if I figure it out incase someone else runs into the same problem as me.
@@2muchspl I just though about it after reading your reply again, n Im pretty sure the wires i listed r coming from the deck to the amp. I think I need to go your route n tap da wires from amp to sub. By the way i have the premium bose amp system. I guess there is two different types Bose uses in Cadillacs that i know of. I have 2010 cts also all factory audio system n it sounds way better than my factory system in my Escalade. Was your factory Bose system the premium amp or the more powerful amp (Luxury i think Bose calls it)?
Nice video good look. Will def try out the Cruze theme. What kind of screen do u have above the radio. I have a 4.3in monitor but I'm gona put it in and mouth it flat, urs is actually straight and looks nice. What's around the edges of the small screen what kind of screen did u use.
Thanks!!! This is a cheap analyzer I got from eBay, I was tempted to do an LCD there for dedicated rear cam but couldn't find anything that fit. Originally during test fit phase I had it flushed just like how the clock fit. The sun however made it hard to view, so I recessed it back (cutting the clock mount structure). I used cardboard and wrapped in it in matte black vinyl to form the side/base with the goal of getting it 3D scanned and printed in ABS. It turned out so nice I decided to leave it. It powers off with truck and is being fed by a line level convertor>rca 3.5mm jack.

Did you have a problem with the unit fitting in the head unit space?
There is a small overlap on the passenger side. U can shift the radio to where its on driver side or passenger side. I chose passenger side so that its hidden from passengers. You honestly have to LOOK for it to see it.
Hey how's it goin...I just have a quick question...I have the same headunit in my escalade...did u have to get a separate harness for your flip down to play with the screen?
Yes, its included with the radio. I can add a link from Imgur on what it looks like later (or search my name on there). Its like a 10 pin wire harness with 2 video outs and a video/audio in.
Thanks bro

Wussup brotha was looking to get one to upgrade but I have 2 factory drop down tvs in my ESV. Is this compatible, or do I have to buy something to make it work? Thanks for the help 💪🏽💯
I cant properly test this but you will need i believe a GMRVD (2007-11) or GMRVD2 (2012+) harness. This harness does a few things: 1) allows OEM Nav to send vid to aftermarket flipdown 2)allows aftermarket radio to send video to to OEM flipdown. I originally had this harness installed before I went Android with Option 1. It plugs in on a grey (IIRC) plug that was plugged into OEM Nav and turns it into a RCA. The RCA then connects to video out of Android.
2muchspl sounds complicated lol where do I find this harness? Also appreciate the quick reply 💪🏽💯
@@FrankieBlaQ Its honestly not,ebay & Amazon. On the back of the OEM radio its 4 separate harnesses that go into it that give it power,sounds,rear cam,etc. 1 of those 4 harnesses is video out/in. This GMVRD harness plugs into that and gives you a traditional yellow/red/white jack. The GMVRD harness only fits 1 of the 4 OEM harnesses behind the radio that you will unhook to do a radio swap. The Android radio will be plugged into 2 of the 3 remaining harnesses (power and rear cam). The Android radio harness plugs directly into the Cadillac harness unlike if you were to swap in a Alpine,JVC, Kenwood,etc. Google that harness and watch this th-cam.com/video/uMjwhOeoD4U/w-d-xo.html to visualize what I typed.
