Android Navigation, 'Tesla' style?

[georg33]

Looking at the large screen navigation options for the MK3 GS 450h which on Aliexpress are referred to as 'Tesla style' 🤨

Has anyone installed one of these? 

Mainly looking at these 2 variants

Wouldn't get anything with less than 4GB RAM and someone mentioned that the OEM rear view camera can be connected too (signal wires have to be soldered but should be straight forward). 

However got a few questions:

- Do these come with any apps that can still display the Energy Monitor info and Park Assist (front/rear sensors)?

- I'm not clear about the amplifier output: does the OEM head unit have a built-in Amplifier?

Or is just sending pre-amp audio signal to the dedicated Mark Levinson amplifier in the back?

If that's the case the Chinese navs would come with Preamp Out only or are they meant to bypass the ML amplifier in the booth, connecting the car speakers to some poor-quality built-in amp?

Brave man to pull the trigger and attempt the install.

I would love to see the fitted result though.

Hi Georg,

Did you end up doing this, or have any of your questions addressed somewhere?

Cheers.
