I'm testing it for the company, to make sure everything works,then once I approve it ,they will start selling it, what I'll do is make a series of videos, and you will see it in action ,then you guys can ask for differant options like I did with my 2015 Videos ,after this unit will be the F-type ...they are pricey but if you're a car enthusiast you won't care, it's just buying a $800 exhaust system

Hey Dennis,
Ran into some issues and was curious if you had any ideas. First of all I feel like they possibly shorted me a wiring harness as I have one empty spot. After firing it up I noticed the AC doesn't work (no blower), the screen will not turn off, door sensors were not accurate (driver open but showing driver, passenger back and trunk). Not sure which factory connection the radio antenna plugs into as that's not color coded and could be a few. The only wiring I did not use was for the additional camera they sent. Pulled it out to make sure my battery didn't die overnight. Nothing else tested besides starting engine.

They sent me a picture of the wiring to the unit and I'm not missing anything, just not working properly. They had me unplug a connection between harnesses provided but no change.
Other issues noticed this time around:
Unit shows doors and trunk open but all closed.
Reverse camera and all sensors do not work. Error on dash that reversing camera unavailable.
Hard button for lowering fan speed does not work, only on-screen option does but blower does not come on anyway.
Hope they have some other things to try, I'll keep updating

Was a canbus issue, had to power on the car with box disconnected and connect after. Took 5 - 10 times to get it to catch. Their chat support is pretty good but the time difference made it a pain in the ***. Overall, love it. Huge upgrade from the non pro version
Issuss currently:
No option to use the cooled seats.
Reverse traffic detection not available warning on dash while reversing. Sensors work fine so not sure why.
Need to move the GPS antenna out from behind the unit, appears the electronics are interfering with the signal.
Same things with yours Dennis? Where did you mount the WiFi and GPS antennas?

2016 XF S (US model), I'll run through the videos and find the antenna locations you used.
Short vid of my heated seats working but cooled seats can not be selected: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H3t...w?usp=drivesdk
Other than that I just have the "Reverse traffic detection not available" warning on dash while reversing. Sensors and backup cam are working though so it's strange.

Removing the blue harness makes the screen go blue while in reverse, with backup cam displayed.
Removing the purple harness makes the screen go black like it's lost power. Also while in reverse with backup cam displayed. Wired the blue harness back in with it disconnected with no change.
*Edit: Purple is not used with the tesla screen
No warnings or errors of any kind after reinstalling the old. Also, the navigation worked fine, noticed you answered that question on the x250 so figured I would check.
*EDIT 2 - Thinking more on this, the plug that is attached to the other end of that Y in the last picture is used to power the push buttons, this includes the parking sensors. Could it be throwing the warning in reverse because the purple end is not terminated?
