To Rusty: thanks for answering,
FM reception with my original CD500 unit was excellent. With aftermarket unit - almost none. (same antenna)
Where I am going to install both units - maybe one into glove compartment, but what i would like to know is that if i connect them parallel, will there be any errors or even short circuits ? Or should I use CD500 as my main unit and connect aftermarket unit only with +12 and GND ? (and GPS antenna, so i can use it as navi device and input for reversing camera) I guess i also need to connect something more because reversing camera switches on automatically for now.
What i have seen are definitely aftermarket android units that are made to the specific car and as CD400 screen is smaller, it is seated where sigarette lighter used to be. Some units are advertised as being able to work together with original CD400 unit.
Not with CD500 though...
Using navi with phone is wery uncomfortable in my opinion and i really need reversing camera support. (tight parking places and narrow field of view from my car)
