CDR will NOT work. It has no fiber-optic.

Diamond button is lost from the steering controls.

Wait, what? You lose the diamond button when the Mr12Volt module is installed, even if it's programmed for something unrelated to audio?

Roman ACS

The multifunction button does not operate with mr12volt. Not related to other car functions.

I goitcha. So it can still be programmed to return to the gauge display in the multifunction cluster, then, just not to skip tracks or pause/resume or whatever.

Just so I have this all straight, this is basically an auxilary addition to the car that needs to be selected and load? This isn't just get in the car and boom all set up ready to go?

I'll use my vehicle as an example. I have android. I set my phone to recognize the mr12volt and pcm as "safe" and so I don't have to unlock them.

In this setup, but I the android auto is booted and music is playing before I finish buckling my seat belt.

The system remembers your last use (Navi, Pandora, waze etc) so you boot right in.

Most often when pcm's reset on their own they are having a "bootloop" and issue. Often the failure is the hard drive. I'd hope pcm bootloop.

Roman, I'm looking to order a unit for my 981S (Bose+sat radio) -- do I need to order the $15 installation accessory kit in addition to the box itself? I'm guessing not, but that leaves the question of who does need to order the accessory kit.

Question #2 -- do you (or anyone else) have any backup camera recommendations, or is it best to just order whatever looks good on Amazon at the moment?

Roman ACS

Install kit is not needed. I include the torx 8 driver, and tape and zip tie in the kit in case you don't have it. Makes for smooth install. Plus the kit is free if you scroll down the page and order the bundle with the car phone charger.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a shop who has experience doing the installation for the board and a backup camera in the greater Washington DC, Md, Va area?

Is an extra adapter needed to integrate Mr12Volt carplay with Bose systems?

Roman ACS

If you can go north a little bit I can install for you while you wait. We are in Hatboro Pennsylvania 19040.

Our system connects the same way to base, bose, and burmeister. No cutting or splicing.
