I've said twice that I'll post pics I'd like to believe they knew about the rain sensor as well, but every business is out there to make money first and foremost; even if it means selling us what we don't, can't or won't use.

Update since I emailed AVIN. I asked them about how the DVR is installed and if it replaces the plastic surround where the rain-sensing wiper sensor is and they confirmed that it does and have refunded me the $149 they charge for the camera. What's confusing to me though is that I placed the order for the units on Dec 8th, all shipping information via DHL shows that unit is shipping from Hong Kong directly to me as of 4 days ago. When I asked AVIN to omit the camera, they said it'd already shipped. So either they lied or maybe that the units ship from HK to AVIN and then get forwarded to the end user...or they omitted the camera during ordering like I asked and didn't refund my money until I brought it up. I posted a link to a YouTube video above showing a comparison of these units and how the vlogger noted the AVIN unit had a reflective AVIN sticker on it...leading me to believe that AVIN simply orders them from their suppliers, throws their sticker on the unit and sends them right back out again.
Shipping info hasn't changed, so I guess we wait and see.

Avin Head Unit
Here you guys go for those curious, quality I feel looks pretty good and not cheap. I know some mentioned some issues when receiving their products but only positive regarding mine.
GPS splitter is in the top right hand corner for a visual for those curious on how it looks

Yeah I'm curious on how the GPS splitter hooks up and where the OEM GPS antenna is located at

I KNEW you would know man I'm trying to figure out where to run these USB lines for the MHD monitoring now. So when I tackle this it shouldn't take more than an hour give or take

so do you plan to have the end of the D-Can cable just sitting next to the OBDII port?

Pending on how I route it, if not I'm searching other areas to use as an alternative. I don't want random cords just hanging down by any means in a nice luxurious vehicle

Did you have the OEM backup camera? Oddly enough mine says no signal on the screen so I'm not sure if it's some type of settings needing to be adjusted on the head unit for visual picture

Avin Head Unit Installed
Okay so here's the final look of the head unit itself, I still have the plastic on the screen so don't mind that. I haven't had a chance to truly mess with the unit just yet because I was tired after work so installing this was the goal ONLY.
So far it starts up relatively quick, OEM BT is what I'm utilizing, GPS splitter works great so no issues there, sound quality plays just fine and the XM radio works as shown in the top right corner. The ONLY issue I'm having is my backup camera isn't displaying live feed but sensors work. So maybe after I get some help or figure it out by going through some settings it'll be legit Overall it looks pretty awesome and quality is grade A
