Same as ebay. Often sellers will post the same items with different prices. My experience with purchases there has generally been very good. I've gotten what I paid for. I did have one item that didn't arrive and seller communication wasn't good, so I ended up having to contest it through my credit card and get a refund that way. Otherwise, I've found them to be decent.

 

I ordered it from Amazon and it will be here within a week for my birthday. Aliexpress was $295 and Amazon was $360 with tax. Have people who have bought it recently gotten the correct standoffs to fit over the Sirius module?

Thx!

 

Yes it comes with the correct standoffs now for the XM board.

Pro tip for future purchases, buying directly from https://www.isudar.com/ ships from Hong Kong via FedEx International Priority to US in like 3-4 days and there is no tax.

 

I just tried and it’s $320 including $25 shipping and 7-15 days. For the difference, I think I’ll stick with Amazon. But I appreciate your suggestion and the answer to my question.

 

ah looks like they raised the price a fair amount now, my order is below

 

Im looking for a wireless car play solution for my '18 911T that has Apple Car Play - albeit wired .

Theres the Carlin , Crux ACP- WL, OttoCast u2, VRRiis Adapter 3.1, lesswire , and probably more

 

After reading threads here, I was recently searching for more info on the iSudar module and came across a couple of YouTube videos from their official channel.

1. Installation video

2. A recent firmware update regarding the volume control when in CarPlay.
I still am not sure which "source" volume it's controlling - PCM (FM radio) or CarPlay (Spotify). I've asked this in the video comments itself.

 

Is there a reason you're buying the one from China and not the EU (which is slightly cheaper)?

 

they cancel the order if you order from the EU

 

From one of the links there was a picture explaining which is the latest board. Those who have been ordering lately, which one are you getting?

 

i got a warranty replacement and it was a v2, imo there is not a huge difference:

Thanks @systemr that thread is a goldmine. I didn't think to check the other forums but it makes sense this is also relevant to other PCM 3.1 cars.

 

Just heard from Anthony (of 9XX) that he is making a trip to California in mid-February to do installs. If you are thinking of adding CarPlay, and you are either in CA or along his driving route to CA, you might want to contact him https://9xx.com/pages/contact-us.
I also had him add a backup camera on my 997.2 and am quite happy with it—especially at night backing out of my garage onto a very dark cul-de-sac.

 

Anybody know of Austin area shops that have done carplay installs before? I've got an Isudar on order. Also looking to have a SmartTOP and Dashcam installed as well.

 

Thanks cringely for the mention. I am coming back to the west this February. I am accepting appointment requests now. Please fill out the contact me form at 9xx.com
