Here is the pic.

 

I got zero instructions from Avin.

Avin doesn't provide instructions other than "watch this customer install his" on YouTube.

If you can't find it there, I can take a pic of mine tomorrow. I still haven't put my trunk carpet back in because I'm doing a few other things so it's still out in the open.

 

Sire I can use the pic. The Blue side goes to the head unit, but I think I'm missing an adaptor for the trunk side...

 

Pics aren't great. It's raining so I had to keep car in garage and the lighting isn't great. Didn't want to leave you hanging if they're good enough to help.

The connector you're looking for looks like this:

If I remember correctly, the antenna cable originally connected directly into the tuner module which was tucked up near the top of the trunk behind the carpet on the left side (above the nav module if you have factory nav)

Tried to get a pic of how mine is routed to give you a starting point of where to look but I need more light.

Added some arrows in case it helps. It comes down the right side of the green cover and I have it zip tied to the stock wiring harness so it doesn't move around.

 

Man this was super helpful. Apparently, I was trying to get it to plug into the GPS antenna. Thanks to your shots I was able to find the radio antenna.

 

Thanks very helpful. I was trying to get it to fit to the silver connector that you have up there next to blue and the lavender connector. Doesn't matter anyway, I'm returning the entire unit. The EQ is a joke. When I'm in android play (or whatever they call it), if I want to switch to the EQ, it exits car play, stops the music, and then brings up the EQ to dead air. The car play at is kludgey, and slow wired or wireless. The entire unit is a joke. The Ibus app crashes and close whenever I open it. I'm within 30days so hopefully they honor my return. What an $800 POS. So regretted. I'm just going to have to go with a real company, with real support. Basically, this unit is a conglomerate of different components, from different companies and organizations that Avin loosely ties together. Stay far and clear from this unit.

 

I am so glad to read your review. I am on the fence between a Dynavin and the Avin. The Avin looks a lot better and more polished, but seems like it is a work in progress. Dynavin looks outdated, but you it does work well.

 

After spending a little more time with it this weekend, I truly don't understand why CarPlay (they call it CarConnect) even exists on this unit. Going to dive a little deeper here to really explain this. The normal CarPlay app allows you to have Pandora, Spotify, Navigation, TuneIn, and numerous other apps that you have on your phone to show up in your car's head unit (I have the same thing from the factory in my 2021 Wrangler and it works great). All of these apps are account driven, meaning you must have an account to use the app. With this unit, you can download, Spotify, Pandora, or anything else directly to the unit outside of CarPlay, and sign into each of those apps. So what do you need car play for? Not to mention the sound quality when using the CarPlay dongle is extremely bad wired or wireless. Once you use these apps outside of CarPlay the unit actually sounds really good (possibly great), and I was able to use the EQ (EQ is useless inside of CarPlay). I went ahead and deleted the CarpPay app as I don't see what the point of it was. Thus I wasted my money on the car play option all together. If I can get IBUS working and, and the steering wheel keys working, I may keep the unit and actually like it. Still I wouldn't buy it again, as it does give off a not ready for prime time feel, and basically you are on your own with the support concept and config. As for the CarPlay dongle option, skip it all together. I don't see why you need it. Amazing how I don't see a single video explaining this.

 

I had a few hiccups when I installed mine. A few trips through the settings and a couple reboots got it working right. Once it was working, haven't had any issues.

Can't say I don't wish I had more time to go in hard on the Android OS and tweak it the rest of the way I want it to work.

 

Do you have to set up your phone as a wifi hotspot or does it just know what to do when bluetooth connects?

 

It will always use your phone as a hotspot spot. You can download an ap called tasker. Use that to create a script that will automatically launch your phone's hot spot and connect your head unit to it. Whenever your head unit connects to your phones Bluetooth (your Bluetooth connection will be the trigger for the script). There is a video out there that explains it and, tells you how to do it the guy uses his Jaguar to do it. It's pretty seamless once you get it set up not that complicated. I did this because it really doesn't use true Android auto. It uses some kind of knock-off software that I didn't like I think it was called Bluetooth connect but it was a piece of crap. So now I control my head unit with my voice maps, songs, Spotify, all of that stuff volume, the lights in my house, everything.
