    Yet another thread on converting NAVI to aftermarket HU Climate Controls First, the easy part, you can replace the NAVI control with dual-automatic climate control form Ebay and it's completely plug in play. I pulled out the Navi HVAC. It is a "QF T-GDI" Model. I have a 2012 SX made in...

    I've always carried my music with me, since I prefer not to use music streaming. I've kept it on a PocketPC until recently, when that device died, and I transferred it all to my old phone, a Galaxy S5 running a stripped down OS. Currently, I am using the S5 as a media center, with an augmented...

    Is there a good aftermarket head unit that will use the existing bluetooth mic for telephone calls? I have installed head units in previous vehicles, and the bluetooth for calls sucks... Thanks in advance!

    So I have a 2014 Optima EX with nav/Infinity system. When my iPhone is hooked up and I switch from one song to the next, there is a noticeable lag from when I push the button either on my steering wheel or the radio button, to when the song actually switches. However, when I drove a base model...

    Im going to be adding an aftermarket Pioneer unit to the dash. I also want to run a camera to both front and rear of car. Any good cable routes thru the firewall to the front and where to mount the camera. Same for the rear, getting past the electronics and batteries behind rear seat.

    Currently have 2014 Optima EX with Infinity Sound System/Navigation. Just curious if I were to get a head unit that has Apple Car Play in the future, any recommendations. Also, would it add anything to my current system outside of just the Car Play feature?

    I finally got Android 6.0.1 for my cell phone. I went to sync with the 2012 KOH and was hoping a certain issue would be resolved. No joy! The issue is that it won't download my contacts to the car's head unit. Without that, I can't ever hope to dial via name and I have to initiate that via the...

    Hello all, So my 2016 LX did not come with Navigation (of course) and I've been looking for a replacement that has it but I want to keep it as close to stock looking as possible. I currently have the 6" touch screen with Steering-wheel controls, Bluetooth, Voice Commands, Backup Camera, and...
