I received another message from Chstek that said they were doing more research to see if their unit works with the OEM camera. If I don't hear from them by tomorrow I'm ordering the Isudar one. Chstek said if I buy it and it doesn't work with the OEM camera they'd send me their camera for free but that's not what I want so we'll see what they say.

The Isudar unit looks great to me, and they have a lot of experience with Android Auto and CarPlay too. I'm impressed too with CHSTEK's responsiveness, but I agree - a free camera is a nice gesture, but you already have a camera. Please keep us posted on how this develops for you.

Wonder why Chstek told me they do not support oem cam?

If you do Isudar, are you going with 7 or 8 inch screen?

Also don't forget their discount, SUM2024

That is a tricky call isn't it? Personally, I'd go for the 7 inch, which is plenty big enough and has that row of buttons, which as well as being useful, contribute to the OEMness of the unit. IMO.

It just pulls off. Use a trim tool and it will pry out.

Pull towards the back or up? Not sure where the clips are located

The Isudar looks interesting. I vaguely recall that someone tried it and then removed it again.. It's in the earlier part of this thread I think so might be worth checking back. I might have misremembered though as when this thread started the dinosaurs were still roaming the earth!

Also are you sure it supports the OEM camera, looking at the ad I can't see that. It says..
Supports Rear View Camera Input
Support 720P AHD rear view camera. Picture more clear. ( Camera is not included)
Maybe I missed it, but good to be sure given this is your #1 priority

The only post I could find for Isudar head unit was this, but it is 2 years old. He had issues, but overall seemed to like it. It is from Cayenne Forum, PCM 3.1. Surprised the post did not garner more responses, questions, etc. I would hope this new HU is a whole lot better.

Isudar Android Head Unit - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

Here is screen shot of saying it supports factory cam

Will be very interested to see how this performs versus the Chstek.

First one to buy it has to write up the installation and configuration guide! 🤣
