These are available on ebay with free shipping for $679
EDIT: Nevermind, those are the 917s... |

Got my DDX918WS installed in my '17 BRZ recently using the Carbon Car Systems harness and, as many have reported on the DDX917WS thread, my backup camera didn't work.
Quote:
Having done a little more research and with help from my friend (I know you're reading this — thank you again!) we've inserted a PAC VOLT-39 (available on Amazon) set to 6V in between the head unit and accessories harness — and now everything just works! Since I know how frustrating it can be to deal with this, I've decided to share the details of what we did. You should be proficient with a soldering iron, and have everything needed for soldering readily available. Also, no guarantees that it will work for other MYs — use your own judgement/intuition and be prepared to improvise. 1) Find the camera/accessory power and ground on the 28-pin connector on the CCS harness and the red and black wires connected to those pins. You might find this post with pin out table for MY16 useful. Here's how it looked on my harness: 2) Undo the cloth insulation around the cables leading to the connector to have at least 2 inches of cables exposed. 3) Cut the power and the ground wires in the middle of the exposed area and solder the VOLT-39 cables like this: - VOLT-39 black cable to harness ground (Y-shaped connection) - VOLT-39 red (~12V power in) and blue (trigger) cables to the head unit side half of the harness red cable (Y-shaped connection) - VOLT-39 red-and-white (6V power out) cable to the connector side half of the harness red cable Like this: Minor correction: now that I know the result, I'd solder the VOLT-39's black cable the other way around so that it has a bit less mechanical stress when the VOLT-39 itself is taped to the harness. Not a big deal though. 4) Enjoy! |

The CCS harness already came with the PAC Volt-39 unit already attached and taped in the loom. Everything works perfectly with the exception of the rear view camera. It works in ACC on mode but not when the engine is running. Since everything is Tesa taped together, I can't see if the Volt-39 wires are attached as they should be (like in your photo above.) Any ideas? |

Replied in the other thread where you've asked the same question.
Consider not resurrecting multiple threads at once with a question that can be answered in just one of them |

Exciting news!
I stumbled upon these instructions on how to run RaceChrono via Android Auto, and it seems to work: The short version is:
I'll try that at my next track day and report how well it works. So far I did a few "laps" around my block and it worked fine. |

I tried it at the track yesterday and boy I wish I found that hack earlier!
Here's a video from my helmet, you can see the head unit in action: The initial setup is a little finicky, and "force fullscreen" doesn't work reliably (works ok if I turn it off), so I have to leave small gaps on the side of the screen. But other than that the apps worked really well. |

@timurrrr have you tried Screen2Auto? That app includes AAStream and AAMirror features and is recently updated... would possibly work better

I've just tried it and it seems to work better, at least the "plug and go" scenario. The app itself needed some tinkering to get it working the way I want though. But now it utilizes the whole screen, which is nice. It also periodically shows up a "Failed to connect to <my car name>" message, but I haven't noticed any real issues around it. Will take it for a spin next time I'm at the track/AutoX! |

Works great, except I keep accidentally pressing the "green phone" button on the steering wheel while on track, which opens the Phone app
I remember I disabled that button mapping before, it's strange that it got reset somehow... Anyhow, on this video you can see me leaving the Phone app and opening RaceChrono via Android Auto while setting a PB on a racetrack The data comes from a DIY CAN reader but OBD-II would be a good starting point if you're not into DIY stuff. |
