I paid $424.01 on ebay. Honestly, I think I just got extremely lucky.

I bought from this guy: https://www.ebay.com/str/prolazo

Might shoot him a message and ask if he can source one for you.

You got a great deal there! My EST unit should arrive tomorrow and I will install this weekend. I'll post up when it's done.

Today I finally got my new screen from Euro Style Tuning installed. The install wasn't that difficult, but since I'm not that familiar with all the new technology, I did end up chatting with EST to get some help. The biggest problem I had was the getting the back up camera to work, but turned out I just needed to drive it a little ways and then it stated working on its own. EST's customer service is really good just like the reviews I read. Here is a before and after pic:

Before:



After:



Quite an improvement and a much larger screen. It has Android auto and carplay but I don't know that I'll even use those features. I'm just happy to have a screen without bubbles!

On a side note: DHL lost my unit by delivering it to the wrong address. I thought I was going to have to have them send a replacement, but my wife found the package at an apartment building on the next road over! DHL should send her a reward!

Any issues with the install? Easy or hard to get the connector off/on? Gaps in figment?

Install is easy enough. No issues there. I have two fiber optic cables and somehow I broke the lock on the new connector for those so I had to zip tie them in place. I needed a little help with the settings once I got it powered up but EST was right there to chat with me on line. They were super helpful. And if you're using the factory camera, you apparently have to drive a short distance before it works again. I haven't used the Android Auto functions yet, and probably won't (because I'm older and i-drive gives me everything I need). But it all seems to work perfectly at this point and everything fits like it was from the factory.

Do you still have the original factory functions? I already have nav and backup camera in mine.

Yes, all original functions are preserved.

Correct, there is no programming needed but there are some settings that need to be worked through. I honestly don't remember all of that, but if you chat with EST they will walk you through it. That's how I did mine and they were great.
