Update Options For Stereo On 2010 XF

I think there may be something wrong with your reverse camera. The one on my 2010 XF is great and super sharp. Much better than the one on my 2017 F Type...
Maybe lens is dirty, or the signal cable which bends every time you open the trunk is failing. Post a pic of the camera on screen and we can look.

Compared to my wife's bmw x3 this is rubbish, if you zoom in it's very pixelated.

Thanks, that's what I thought, nothing wrong with the loom, just the way it was in 2010. It might be both display resolution and camera quality. As soon as I get the new unit I'll experiment and keep you guys updated.

Can't wait to hear results though - although I'm very close to joining you in being a guinea pig for ***** and giggles because I'm that desperate to have this.

Agreed - my 2010 camera is the same, so I think it's just how they were. These cars are 10 years old and the tech is older - frankly the XF in-car entertainment probably felt a bit dated when it was released - before a certain nav map/firmware update my screen was laggy as ****.

My '18 F-Pace is much better, although not really up to snuff compared to the competition (in that limited respect) from BMW or MB.

FWIW, that looks exactly like my '12 XF. My other car of that vintage (well, my son's now) is a '10 Lincoln that was optioned out - didn't even have a backup camera (but has a better and faster UI than the XF's).

Nevertheless, that doesn't make it any less galling to compare the UI of (e.g.) a 2014 XKR-S that was still rocking this dated laggy light-blue low-resolution turd of a UI against its rivals, even if it was in (as you acknowledge) a limited respect.

The seller uploaded a fake tracking number just to make it in time before the deadline, so the order wouldn't get automatically canceled, and refunded.
After bitching him for days he admitted they found a bug with the audio and amp compatibility, at the last minute when they were testing it, he claims they are working on the bug, and will soon be fixed, that I should wait a bit, he extended the buyer protection time, nevertheless if not sent and fixed by 10 days I'll request a refund and wait until they get things right before I order, so if you are thinking about ordering, talk to the seller. And if you already ordered cancel it.

the only issue i had with mine was, everytime you want to use it, you have to open the glove box and press the power on button.
So i used some extension aux and put it outside the glove box, just so little cable showing, next to the passenger seat. So when i used it, i put car on aux and pressed button.
Lol, thats just me being lazy to open glove box.

Carlos, nice to meet you.
You are the help i was looking for to change my Denso system to an Android Car play.
My Wife seriously will aprecciate it, because she hate my old music (CD & USB) and the "Denso navigator". ¿Who was the "alien" who made this system?
I´m in contact with ICEBOX to buy it with rear cam.
I will give you feed back.
TY to share!

But I highly advice to not get this one I made another post which is very long, with a lot of details.
Try to look for it in this forum, it has many bugs doesn't quite work well. This was a few years ago there are many new units out there now, try getting one that allows you to go back yonth OEM screen.
unfortunately I can't be of much help I sold my xfr 2 years ago, upgraded to an XJ.
