    PCV Setups?

    Heya, so I'm trying to figure out what's the optimal PCV setup for this engine. I've read through damon's bye-bye blow by article but would like to know what everyone else is running. I've asked someone else previously and they actually run this: Which for them they say it works but when I give...

    Working on Android Auto with Navigation Unit

    Some images of the installed unit! I forgot to show the buttons illuminating at night since at that point I was just excited I changed the boot screen. In the center console you can see the aux switch and the usb c port that speaks to the unit and can also charge.

    Modification's complete! I'll take some photos later, attach it here; then I'll start making a new thread under How-to's after making some diagrams with more concise information. For now, I am pooped.

    Working on Android Auto with Navigation Unit

    Sorry for the lack of updates lately, been doing other stuff while figuring out some things in the car. Right now the display is installed, I had insulated the ribbon cable, and used epoxy to keep the other wires in place so that they wouldnt tug and keep slack in the mechanism. Right now I just...

    Working on Android Auto with Navigation Unit

    Progress: The portable android auto unit is in! A better pic of the bezels is attached. The Audio out, dc jack, mic out, and usb is also hooked up and leads out of the pop up display. The only thing messy here is how I did the usb out. The port is usb 2.0 on the unit but I have a 3.0 angled...

    Working on Android Auto with Navigation Unit

    Progress: Mounted the Carpuride C3 by repurposing some of old display's mounting tabs. I just wiggled the tab off and screwed it down to the old posts. Holds surprisingly well! But a better solution would be to have it also screw into the back of the display but as much as I'd like to whip out...

    Working on Android Auto with Navigation Unit

    Now that I think about it, this might be a little better than the arduino method since I still cannot figure out the wiring, I actually got a response from a person from a forum with his diagram! ...but I have so many questions that my amateur brain cannot comprehend why it is that way. At some...

    Working on Android Auto with Navigation Unit

    I FEEL INCREDIBLY STUPID. I figured out how to get the oem pop up display to work. I finally pieced it all together in my mind from the pinouts I've found online. Confusing myself with the RX8 pinout which apparently is mirrored. For those following along at home, the pins are Q and O from the...

    Working on Android Auto with Navigation Unit

    For whomever may still be getting their nav unit working with the oem boards, these may help you. Spent an hour trying to scrape the internet to find something like it. I tried wiring the ACC on both connectors to a power supply at 12v, then the negative to ground but it didn't come to life. I...

    Working on Android Auto with Navigation Unit

    Yeah that's what I was thinking; I'll read the total amperage that I could possibly be pulling but after checking my car, the max is listed to be 120w so about 10 amps. I'm curious if the cigarette lighter infront is wired parallel to the one in the center console

    Working on Android Auto with Navigation Unit

    Heyo! First post here, I'm currently working on adding the OEM Navigation Unit to my 07' mazdapseed3 which doesn't have that option. However I'm gutting out the screen to put in a portable android auto unit. So far I've worked out the right unit to use, in my case it's the Carpuride C3; it...
