Quote from: Justonequestion on August 04, 2019, 13:41:59Another successful upgrade complete. Ordered one last week from ebay. Looked a bit beat up but for $130 delivered I figured I would roll the dice. Turned up on Friday. Wires were cut but that ended up being a good thing. I managed to splice my own USB cable by connecting the end that was left in the unit from the wire cutting with using a standard USB extension which I trimmed the Male end off. Bit of trial and error with the USB. Initially I had the USB data wires backwards. For any one attempting this, get the power pins right which is an easy check with a multi meter. Data cables should not kill your device (based on the iPhone not getting fried when I tested). I owe a credit to someone here who posted up some USB wiring stuff. I have a reverse camera on the way. I will try to remember to get some pics of that when the camera turns up.Can you give me the link from where you ordered the unit because I can't find GD03.

Just did a search for 'gd-03' and did a buy it now.

Here are my results in case anyone is in a similar position.WHAT YOU WILL NEEDIf you do not have the GD-03 USB assembly you can buy a pre-made cable like this one Has anyone used these cables before? I got a price from PC Parts and Cables and it works out about $15 incl shipping to Australia.

Any chance you could share the link for this cable? I haven't been able to source the correct one.The website says they're updating it - and its been saying that for months.
I've had a read through the thread and couldn't find the answer.Do I need to disconnect the battery before attempting to change the headunit? Maybe the answer is obvious but I want to be sure. Thanks!

Thanks, so it is safe to disconnect all the wires from the existing head unit while the battery is connected? Various Google results seems to indicate that I need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.Just want to make sure I don't stuff this up

Just install and updated firmware. Thanks for the awesome guide. I ended up cutting the wire as I couldn't depinned the reverse camera cable
Can someone explain what is the difference between sat nav and non sat nav on GD03 unit,thank you.
Quote from: goranoh on October 10, 2019, 06:58:47Can someone explain what is the difference between sat nav and non sat nav on GD03 unit,thank you.One has GPS and the other doesnt GD-03 has Apple Car play/Android Auto, Satnav units don't, GD=03 units don't have a CD player either.Satnav units have a different shape at the base of the fascia, Satnav models are also not allocated a GD-03 model number...no satnav unit for that matter has the GD model number as the nav units are made in Korea and the GD- units are built by Cartronics Australia.
Both units pictured appear to be GD-03, grab the $250 one The first seller has listed it wrongly with satnav but that may be due to whoever put the newer sticker on the unit, it’s a GD-03 looking at the face and original sticker so I’d expect he’s trying to do a dodgy

Hi Guys,Ive just finished upgrading from my gd-01 to a gd-03. I've changed over the AUX/USB assembly unit and everything seems to be working. I can connect my iPhone via USB and it will CHARGE but WONT ENABLE ME TO CONNECT TO APPLE CARPLAY. Have just updated the software to SW VER: 2.05.10 MICOM: 3.28.00 Platform: 1.76.00. When I press the 'MEDIA' button, it will show all the correct options on the screen but everything is greyed out except the BLUETOOTH option.Any ideas on how to fix? Did i go wrong somewhere?Thanks!-K
Tried the genuine cable to no avail. Just to confuse things more, it will charge with a non genuine cable, but won't charge with the genuine one. Still won't connect to AA/car play regardless of the cables I try. Any other suggestions??
I've got an iPhone 6s. I can see the CarPlay option in my phone settings but I didn't think i needed to use that at all when using the USB chord?
