Hello,

First time poster here, I'm looking into possibly upgrading my stock stereo (without Bose on 2010 CX-7) with one that does CarPlay/Android Audio. And I see places like Crutchfield have faceplates that help that new deck fit in (https://www.crutchfield.com/p_120997...t.html?tp=3121). On the image of that part, I see you get a cutout for the hazard lights button, but on the left and right of the hazard button on the stock stereo, there are buttons for adjusting the time (https://www.lokeykia.com/assets/stoc...02a_640_20.jpg).

Has anyone ever put in a aftermarket headunit, and if so, what did you do about those buttons?
I was able to find an article where one person said they just didn't bother, it always showed the wrong time. But I feel like that would drive me crazy, and I've been so used to looking there for the time for so many years.

Thank you in advance!
Jason

 

I replaced the head unit on my 2007 cx7 with the Atoto a6.

To be honest I did not think about it until I saw this post.

I just checked it my car and it seems to sync together with the new head unit.

See attachedATOTO a6 head unit pic.

 

Interesting, I'll take a look at that head unit then, see what I think about it. Might be a good solution for me.
Thank you so much.

 

If the clock would bother you that much, just go out at midnight and disconnect your battery for a second.

 

LOL, interesting idea...

 

You know it was my fist car alo like in you case with BOSE but I dont like the quelity and function so I install the pioneer AMP and new germany head unit and it was good yes with car play install china I didnt take that risk

 

I did it and bought my unit from carnaviplayer. Couldn't be happier plus it looks OEM

 

Does your clock automatically sync with the head unit then?

 

yes it does. Contact Allen Wong directly through his site. He's very helpful and will help you with any questions you may have

 

Oh and btw... I have a black cargo cover in excellent condition i just posted in the classifieds in case you need one for your 2010. I'll ship it for free if you want it. Let me know.

Best,
