As for Matt, he isn't reading emails properly and just keeps directing me to utube vids or telling me irrelevant information if he actually responds. I've not had good experience with digoption from moment I paid.

There are still 2 empty sockets on the new module but I've run out of plugs to fill them with! I'm sure I saw previously, the colour of the Reversing Light wire in the driver footwell connections but I'll be blowed if I can find it in the thread. Any suggestions please?
peleroda wrote:OK, the story so far. The unit is installed & working! With limitations, the steering controls are not working even after I tried setting them up. I think there is a lead missing. The trip computer is coming up on the display but not running whilst driving. I suspect that may also be a lead issue. I have taken photos but don't have the patience to wait for Photobucket to do its thing. Install was relatively easy but my recommendation is that you have a careful think about just what you are going to connect to the head unit. If you aren't going to connect it then don't plug it in because it is a very very tight fit when you try and fit the head unit back in and I had to remove a couple of unused leads to get the unit to clip back in. The unit performed all other functions we'll, DVD,CD,FM,Bluetooth,haven't fitted the rear camera yet. The choice of LED colours is limited to Red, Orange or Red/Orange.the screen is bigger than the older model and OK for movies if you are desperate. I will be in touch with Matt on Mon regarding the steering controls/trip computer. To be fair to Matt I will let him advise on pricing as he gave me a good deal as the "guinea pig". Let's just say I was happy with the price. I will try and get some photos up tomorrow.

peleroda wrote:Hi Guys,
News on the "New" Double Din Radio. It's bloody grouse, thanks to Matt for his assistance in troubleshooting the steering wheel controls. They are now working a treat, the Trip Computer controls are showing all the usual stuff including outside temps of 46C which I'm over but all is good in the world. I need to confirm with Matt the size plug/socket for the 2010 GLX/R steering controls and then the install becomes a complete doddle. My wife now thinks I'm a genius instead of the nong that backed into her car before Christmas, I have tunes aplenty from USB,SD,FM Radio,iPhone which is fantastic. A very happy little Vegemite.
Cheers

Did you need Matt to supply the extra leads you mention above or did you already have them?
What did you have to do to get the trip computer operating properly, was that another additional cable or was it just user error?
cheers eicarsto
peleroda wrote:Hi Eicarsto,
I did have the lead I required but unfortunately it came with a 20 pin socket fitted to it and I needed a 14 pin socket. I spoke to Matt about it and he said that unfortunately he didn't have one at the moment so I went to my local dealer and he told me that "We would have to get that in as a special order". At this point I thought "Stuff it, it's only 2 wires" so I simply cut and spliced them. This was in fact only for the steering controls, the trip computer was a plug not properly inserted. When I seated that fully the trip computer came up straight away. There is a minor glitch with the Exit button on this screen but Matt has spoken to the factory and I believe a firmware update may fix this. I am hopefully catching up with Matt next week to discuss all aspects of this install.
Cheers

I simply fitted over the info display unit so pay no attention to it sitting in there. I have taken facia back off and put std back on for now.
I did notice that my info display unit is large, and this is no way going to fit in the new console ... does anyone know whether i can modify it or do i need buy the matching, smaller unit?
cheers, Rod

chops133 wrote:yay i have done it, installed the trip computer into the old single din radio slot, had to do a little work but the good news is i didnt have to cut any of the existing dash! Had to remove the trip computer from the housing, and solder new buttons on, but in the end it looks professional and factory, you get a good clear view of the display, all the existing wires reached no dramas at all! Id post pics to show the end result but cant see how too!! Id be happy to email the pics to anyone that wanted to see them and tell them how i did it!! In my opinion it looks great and professional!
