I have similar box in my Octavia and my box needs one additional wire from the reverse lamp positive to the cable on the power extender cable, it has one dedicated point. It works well with DSG cars, but with manual gearbox, you need to connect this wire, if you want to see the radars or reverse camera, when you set the reverse gear.
Yeah I found out about this too. Ended up being lazy and just pressing the connect button on my unit instead whenever I want to see the reverse sensors
Hi, please, where can I find some manual for connection of this wire? I have manual gearbox and I want to see radars when I put reverse gear. Thank you

@@t-ken3hiya, my MIB unit should be arriving today and I was just doing some research on the guide the company sent me when shipping it out. It shows the DIP switch settings for 5.8” 7” and 8” display, however I have a 6.5”. Is there any work around this or will I have to return it. The company did say it’s compatible with my head unit (although I didn’t tell them the size, I showed a picture to them). Would if just be a matter of messing around with the switches?
Hi, do you know something about firmware updates? I use the car with my wife and I have not found a convenient way to switch between two phones. Another question is the USB. Is it possible to use the USB port of my car instead of the USB port of module? Thank you and great video
I have the same model and I've been searching on how to update it's firmware as I have a problem that when I touch the screen (Top Left Corner), it's like pressing alot of buttons at the same time (Pausing Music, skipping Music etc etc...). On the OEM screen this does not happen so 100% this is coming from the Aftermarket Module Box. Appreciate your help & Thanks!
I have a Škoda Fabia from 2016. I havent a CD player in the Glove compartment, i have a radio display like you. Ist it posible to install car Play without the CD player Unit too?
On the setting the switch’s, I have a 2016 be polo, does anyone know which way the switch’s go. I have the exact same unit as the one shown in the video.
@@t-ken3 I’ve tried numerous combinations and get get it right. The problem I’m having is, the car play shows on the top left, then duplicates on the bottom left, so the right side of the screen is black.
Thanks for this video! Really helpful :) Quick question: Do you know if there's a way to get the carplay Google Maps directions displayed in the maxidot display? (as is with the standard satnav directions?)
@@t-ken3 Allright, I was kinda expecting this, but asked anyway. I do have another question: Do you know if there's a way to adjust the brightness of the screen? Especially at night it can be too bright for me..
Good question, I believe the brightness just follows the brightness of the car screen so i guess it should be possible! I never had it be bright in the night and I’ve driven in the dark plenty with CarPlay on
Thanks for the video, however my Carplay box still gets power even when i turn off the engine and remove my key from the ignition. Do you know what the fix is?
I don’t know I am just a consumer that bought it like yourself, for me it turns off when I remove the key. Maybe you can contact their customer service?
Thanks for the video man really helpfull.as a 2014 rapid owner i'm having trouble with the cup holder underneath the a/c buttons.the size is so unusable,have you found an aftermarket replacementfor the whole part?i've seen such aftermarket (aliexpress) replacements for the kodiac/qamiq with adittional wireless charging etc.if you come across one plz hit me up with a message,i would greatly appreciate it.
That actually is a brilliant idea, to have a wireless charger down there. I haven’t looked for any myself to be honest. The one thing I did notice when I have my phone laying there for long drives whilst connected to wireless CarPlay and the heater on 22-23 degrees during cold days, my iPhone does get quite hot as it blows hot air in there. On those days I leave my phone in the little compartment under the handbrake instead.
I actually haven’t tried, but I see no reason why not. However then you won’t be able to hear the CarPlay sound as the sound has to be on Aux for the sound to work. I would just use a radio app on the phone instead, that’s better quality anyway.
Hey, I am not sure. But I am playing sound back trough the original Bluetooth when it’s connected to CarPlay so I wouldn’t see why it wouldn’t work. Maybe you can ask their costumer service
Does calling use the car microphone or a seperate input? I have seem some wiring diagrams that show an optional mic input. Basically if i am using carplay and take a call, is call quality ok?
@@t-ken3 thanks for the reply. Have you tested the factory usb switch function? Does that allow you to plug into the car's usb and use AA wired through that?
I believe it works as any other Android Auto, so it should work with apps that support it, but I have an iPhone so I have not tried it with an Android phone just yet. If you want me to test something specifically let me know, I’m happy to give it a try.

Nice install - we follow the same over here in the UK!
Nice! I was surprised how relatively easy it was. Have been very happy with it in general in the past months

As far as I am aware that is not possible, since the MDF is not connected to CarPlay in any way with this solution

Hi, I think it’s best you contact the manufacturer about this. I just bought this box and decided to make a video about it. Best of luck!
Can you ad netflix / youtube to it ??
I am actually not sure. It is standard stock Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. That’s the only thing I use it for

Hi there, I am not sure to be honest. I have a Skoda myself, not sure if they make modules for a Toyota Proace aswell
Does original FM radio works when you are in carplay?
I actually haven’t tried, but I see no reason why not. However then you won’t be able to hear the CarPlay sound as the sound has to be on Aux for the sound to work. I would just use a radio app on the phone instead, that’s better quality anyway.
@@t-ken3 yes but carplay fm requires mobile data for internet connection. I can't get an internet signal on some roads only fm radio
