Maybe Jeff can answer that better

If you have the MID unit you can relocate it to the rear as I did with mine after fitting a Android Eonon unit over 12 months ago. I had no Nav or DSP in the rear, so space was there and frame width accommodates the MID with no modification. That means you can keep your gloves in the glove box.

Great idea! Did you just tie into power and ibus in the rear, or did you have to extend some wiring from the front back to the rear?

Hi David, I popped the pins out of the original connector, insulated them and left them behind the ashtray, after noting the colours and position on the connector. Using the now free connector I searched a couple of looms for the corresponding coloured wires at the rear and popped the pins out of the connectors they were on. I then re-insterted the wires/pins into the matching positions I previously noted. From memory there was only 4 or 5 wires in total. MID fired up and I can do all the original functions. The dimensions of it and the frame are perfect that it just presses and holds into position.

That's awesome. I've actually wondered if that were possible, and you answered my question! Mine had factory NAV, so there's no way I'm going to leave the bordmonitor in the vehicle just to reset the clock, but having the harness available in the rear hatch means that I can pop the cover off, plug in the bordmonitor, set the clock and unplug it. Thank you!

This may not be relevant to your situation, but this was the connector I relocated and the wire colours.

I wonder if there's a diagnostic software that can manipulate the OBC functionalities such as resetting mpg, setting time etc.

Neil that might have been the most helpful thing ever for me as I was looking to make the Dynavin a clean install, and keep OBC functions but not necessarily lose the glovebox - the way you describe it its very reversible, and actually easier than extending the wires from behind the factory MID over to the glovebox - nice work!

Agreed!!! Might do something like this with an Avin install.

Thanks Neil!

Hey Crystalworks, on the subject of installs, what bolt size is the battery ring terminal that you used here? I'm ordering parts and can't get to it to measure.

Please don't tap in there!

Used the one with 100 amp fuse and just unscrew the nut.
