without getting into sound processors just use the simple rule of thumb, decent good decks put out 4v on the RCA's....the higher the voltage the better the unit.

This is the best looking unit I've seen thus far, does your heads up display still work with this unit

The HUD works but no longer shows radio info like stations. Steering wheel controls the radio volume and mute like OEM. To answer a phone call, one needs to touch the answer button on the touch screen.

Fast since i watch all of your videos ( Not the Hyundai ones lol ) you should do a review on the radio.

I have a video waiting in the queue to be edited but it's not a review, just more of an install. It's not exactly the same radio as you can buy from Digital Octopus so I'm not sure if I'll make a review. There are quite a few videos reviewing DO's radio out there now.
Thanks for watching Joe.

I'll eventually get to editing an install video. I liked this unit because I could see all the gauges on my quad cluster. Has Apple CarPlay. wifi, bluetooth, touchscreen, aux inputs, EQ, tons of stuff. Knobs feel cheap. I have the AUX connected to a front camera so I dont hit curbs. Had to buy a rear facing camera, the OEM one wont interface.

That looks really nice but did you lose any functionality? I’m worried about the HUD and the seat warmers not That looks really nice but did you lose any functionality? I’m worried about the HUD and the seat warmers not working.

Like mentioned above, the only HUD portion missing is the radio station isn't showing. Seat warmers are fine. My Onstar doesn't work and I don't want to fix it with the OBDII option.

Any questions and real concerns should probably be directed at Digital Octopus if you're seriously considering this radio since that's most likely who you'll be buying from and their product CANbus may be a little different.

Digital Octopus unit in my 2010 SS. Love the unit but very little info on operating the unit. Still no updates to show temp in F not C. And speed from KPH to MPH.

Are they actually still in business? All products show as "sold out". Here's a pic from their site:

Yes they are. They usually do pre orders and then sell out. Best way to know when there’s a restock coming is to follow their Instagram

Haven't been able to really afford to do many cool performance mods, but been unhappy with BT dropping out/not working and onstar issues so I went ahead and replaced the head unity finally. Went with the Maestro setup with the iDataLink RR2 and a Pioneer 4660nex. Even with stock speakers the sound difference is insane and wasn't too hard to do. ALso took the opportunity to run RCA cables and remote turn on wire to the trunk along with a backup cam, dunno if I'll ever install a sub in the trunk but I figure if I'm already popping trim and such for the backup cam wiring I might as well run it and save me trouble later, all i'd have to do is wire it up

Went with the RR2 as well because of the programmable outputs, when i get the rest of the things i need I'll have to do write up on the idea i had with that.

Hi guys, I just couldn't find earlier an appropriate part of forum where I could introduce myself, found it later on.

This is RPK installation in my 2010 Camaro SS.

I have recently installed the Digital Octopus DOTS-1015 into my 2013 ZL1 and it works well.

My system configuration is a little complex with the DOTS-1015 running Plex Media Player casting over Wi-Fi to a Win 10 PC running Plexamp and Plex Media Server with 1TB of FLAC music which is the routed via 5.1 TOSLINK to a Alpine DSP PXA-H800 ie. no DACs in the signal chain. The DOTS-1015 has all the functionality and versatility that you would expect from Android to support this configuration.

The DOTS-1015 supports all of the Camaro CAN signalling that is needed, and "more". The "more" is support for other manufacturer's or vehicles, which means that there are some menu and screen functions that are present but are inactive eg. HVAC supports dual zone which the ZL1 does not have. The DOTS-1015 large screen modernises the look of the dashboard, and I am happy to be with out the stock non-viewable console gauges and funky HVAC controls. Android OS and applications update automatically and regularly, so the system must be "phoning home" over the LTE connection.
