Everything's plugged in Good to go and works properly.


I love that you can set the folding mirrors as an option for comfort close.
something is wrong with I think my driver's side mirror and whenever I use the button to fold the mirrors it bounces back however this new head unit overrides that bounce back feedback and just closes them lol so now my mirror is closed automatically or fold in every time I turn the car off.


One thing I'm really sad about was I was really looking forward to downloading the YouTube TV app Disney plus app and Netflix app.

When I first installed the radio and turned on Wi-Fi I signed into Google play and immediately searched for Disney plus YouTube TV and Netflix it found them and it started downloading them.... Then Google play services updated and after that it removed those apps and it doesn't even show them in the play store.

If I go to play.google.com and search for it there I find it but when I say install to my new Android device and the X5 it says is no longer compatible.

so that's really unfortunate Netflix and Disney plus are not compatible but YouTube TV is.

Netflix was not available on my Google Play for my Avin either. I believe Hulu is but have not tried it yet.

bummer but ill cross my fingers for a solution in the future.


also man i love the feature coding in this thing.


i coded my mirrors to both fold on ignition OFF despite the fact that they always bounce back using the button in the door. the IBUS app can override the bounce back signal and just closes them

i coded BOTH mirrors to tilt down when in reverse which my 2010 maxima already does.

i got the PDC and radio to display all the info in the cluster.. volume, channels and for PDC when engaged it shows front and rear distance as well.



one thing im super annoyed about is that i dont have a rear back up camera yet every time i go into reverse the blank AVIN screen comes up as if i had a camera.


i coded the ibus app to always display PDC screen when PDC is active but it always gets overridden by the stupid AVIN 4 reverse screen app.

i tried DISABLING the app in android and it is disabled and does not launch when using the AVIN button in the unit but it still displays when in reverse and i cant for the life of me figure out how to stop that.

i want to see the PDC screen when im in reverse so i can see the image of the car with the PDC sensors and display .

Go to settings/factory settings (password 126) /other and set the rear backup cam as disabled.

Yes it does reset the radio stations but all you have to do is hit scan for all the local radio stations and viola!
