What changed with the Bluetooth from first having to disconnect it? And are you sure it isn't using the external mic, even for Siri?

Also, you said the backup camera now works after you changed the DIP switches, does the surround camera still work as well? (and does PDC/surround view still activate automatically when you are close to an obstacle?)

It all sounds pretty good, I'm getting excited for this!

I dont use Siri, I tired the NBT Bluetooth for calls and its working fine. You shouldn't have a problem talking to Siri with an external mic.

Well, regarding the 360 my car only has backup camera so I cant attest to that. I will try to creep onto an object from the front and see if the Auto PDC screen comes on!

The PDC peeping works if I approach a front object, however the screen doesn't switch to PDC page! So I guess you won't see 360 either... Ill ask the seller about the 360 situation.

That is what I expected based on the reviews of others. I think other people have programmed one of the convenience buttons to switch out of CarPlay upon which it will show PDC page.

I am sending money in just a few...

@sbinshihon
The UniChip box has a setting menu, maybe this one has it too.
Can you long press the button 4,
You should see a hidden / setting menu. Or try the other numbers.

Thank you

I think it's actually coming from China, so it shouldn't matter much whether they ship to Canada or the US?
