Obioban's 2005 IR/IR Coupe

Bumping this since someone else brought up the xtrons

When I installed it, I used a 3rd party mic. Never tried it without that So, not sure my experience transfers.

That said, it works well when stationary and is pretty useless when I'm in motion. I stick an airpod in if I want to have a conversation with someone while driving.

What we really need to make the mics in these things viable is for someone to release a line in/line out box with a background sound canceling chip in it. I tried to talk Ted ( t3ddftw) into making one, as he's currently using just such a chip in the Bluebus, but couldn't sell him on the idea. I think it would actually have a pretty large audience-- basically anyone with any 3rd party heat unit in any car, using an external mic.

Interesting. My Avin rear doesn’t look like either of those, it has the white xtrons connectors but different layout. Does/did your microphone work for taking calls while using CarPlay? Mine’s got an incredible amount of feedback

It’s been great, 100%! Reliable.

My only complaint would be that the screen is glossy instead of matte.

Good to hear! Do you have a link to the one you ordered? I think im going to try it out with apple carplay instead OEM NAV with BB.

How's the xtron so far?

Hurry up with the review already .

Been doing a lot of work on my house under construction, so sadly the picture above is exactly how the m3 still looks.

Next time I work on it, it'll be to add some paint to areas I ground down for this that didn't end up getting epoxied over.

... Once that dries, THEN I can assemble the interior, do a deep cleaning (even with the paper I ended up making a bit of a mess) and drive the car.

How many miles are on this now?

I still have the video you made with your brother one winter. The song during the video is from Flyleaf and it’s 65,an awesome video, takes me way back.

~165,XXX, IIRC.

Dirty job

I see it for sale on their website for less than $400 for their "automotive grade" hardware, with the more expensive units coming with 4G connectivity. Bonkers prices considering where Dynavin used to be. I will be buying an Xtrons unit soon.

So far the “automotive grade” xtrons has been 100% flawless— and I’ve been DDing the car this year.

OT but "automotive grade" is always amusing when it's applied to only a subset of products a company sells for cars. Like... WTF is the rest, then?

[Obioban]

Hey how's it going with the Xtrons unit? Considering this for my new build.
