I have questions below this first section about installing these in Jeep Wranglers:

So got it installed:

(THIS SECTION BRACKETED IN ASTERISKS IS ONLY FOR JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS.)

******************************

But I have to conclude, after installing my third one now, the replacement dash panels for a Jeep Wrangler (that all come from the same factory), all suck.

The left hand panel that surrounds the instrument cluster is fine. But the bezel that surrounds the head unit does not clip into the existing holes in the dash. It lines up fine. But even with new clips will not snap into place. And will not stay in place. And usually ends up looking like the above pic most of the time. I have not found a solution online for this.

I tried using ziptie anchors and zipties. Which might work if you abandon the top coin trays clips. But getting these two center dash pieces held in place with zipties is very difficult. I epoxied two cut down zipties anchors on each side of the head unit. Top and bottom. The adhesive tape on the anchors would not hold. As you need to apply a lot of pressure to the head unit and dash piece (bezel) it fits into - to hold it in place against the dash. And in its alignment holes.

I'm going to try elastic cord today. With the existing ziptie anchors. Hopefully I can tighten that enough, that I will be able to get the bezel and top coin tray into position. You have to wrestle both of them into place. But once that is done there is no way to tighten zipties.

I ran zipties from the anchors I mounted on the head unit to the metal dash frame behind the head unit. Was able to tighten them down. But in the process of getting the top coin tray in position. They broke or came undone.

Either way be warned. If your going to put an android head unit in a Jeep. Be prepared to come up with some sort of solution to get the head unit and dash panel to stay securely in place in the dash. The replacement panels sold with every unit for the Jeep Wrangler 2011-2018. Do not hold in place.

Onto the head unit itself:

So it is a 6125. Correct ram and storage. I just have a few questions:

1) Do I need to or can I - update any of the software? I don't know what of it is up to date or not. The reseller said their engineer was going to update it prior to shipping. But who knows. I don't know where to lookup these version numbers for what is current. But I also don't want to mess with anything that might have questionable results or not be worth whatever improvements I might achieve.

What order should I mess with updates and settings and troubleshooting any issues? I assume in that order.

2) I used the wiring harness, antennas, mic, canbus and other accessories from the previous unit I had already installed in the dash. As everything that came with this unit looked just as cheap as what came with the previous unit. And the previous units canbus was larger and looked better than the one that came with this unit.

Neither showed a manufacturer name on the canbus. But the previous one that is in there now had "HW" at the beginning of the model number. So I set the canbus settings to Hiworld canbus. I can't get the canbus to program. But have not played around with the settings. Just attempted to program the SWCs. And nothing would take. Advice?

I will try to figure which canbus it is from the previous unit.

3) The backup camera was a mess on screen until I changed the settings to just basic NTSC iirc.

After seeing how terrible the video quality was with my previous included backup cams. I bought this well reviewed back up cam off Amazon. It's still installed and hooked up to this new unit.

But I see now it's cmos and 720p. The included camera that came with this current unit (that I have not installed yet) is only advertised as "AHD 1080p". Which I think is the same one that came with another unit I had. And honestly they both looked like sh*t. And not sure I want to go to the hassle of installing this new one.

I honestly don't use it alot. But am curious what the best is I can hope for? Replacing it is a bit of a hassle. As it is in my license plate holder.

Is there a backup cam with noticeable better resolution? Or night time clarity?

4) Is there a list of important setting changes around here? I want to try out themes. And I don't really know what improvements I might look for in that regard? The units software looks fairly basic at the moment. At least compared to other units I've tried installing lately.

Maybe a list of top 20 settings options?

Thank you in advance. Gonna go try the Bungie cord trick to get this unit to stay in my dash. That has been the biggest hassle thus far. I've never had a units dash panels not clip into place.
