New Video Adding Passenger Display Fairly easily

[alex_bell]

Here's another option of central screen(central console) with 2 fakra connectors, one of which - output to passenger screen.

So.. if you replace the AC screen unit to a passenger ready one and add passenger screen, it may work assuming you have the programming equipment?

This is interesting. As per parts catalog, they seem to have just one variant. Are you sure one of those PCMs not from audi or other similar VAG car?

Both advertised as Taycan PCM:

That yellow connector - for android auto

What kind of connection/protocol is it? Ethernet?

I checked wiring diagram and seem like passenger screen connects to climate control screen(central), not to PCM directly. So central console screen needs also to be replaced because there are 2 different options, and only one has 2 connectors(one in, one out to passenger screen)

Here's on photo one 2nd connector is physically missing, making it unable to connect passenger screen

Looking at the wiring diagram for the center console that I found (see below), it looks like one of the LVDC (connector B) goes to the PCM, and the other (missing here, connector C) goes to the rear seat entertainment tablet. Connector A (the non Fakra one) is just power and CAN bus.

Of course maybe I am looking at the wrong diagram, so pasting what I was looking at below.

Yeah, this is wrong diagram. For climate screen there are 2 parts for option code JH1(which is passenger screen code) an JH0 which is without passenger screen code

Either way it seem to be more expensive to retrofit that I originally thought. Apart from wiring, which is simple, you also need central screen too, which adds extra $500-600 to the total price, making it close to $1500 in just screen parts

Yes, it will. You also need wiring, but besides - it should be totally doable

You could try to just populate the Fakra connector on the back of the center screen. Hopefully that is the only part that is missing, and no IC's inside.

I thought of that, but my soldering skills arent that good

DO you think PCB already prewired and its just a matter of adding connector?

Will keep eye on eBay, for now I need to complete sport+ retrofit and then rear steering rack

That's right, it's easy to install — takes about 30 minutes. The overall performance is very fast, even faster than the PCM
With SIM card support, there's no need to use a mobile hotspot.

Where do you purchase?

Where do you purchase?

I ask my friend in China, around USD $900

 

[alex_bell]

I think, I will remove my passenger screen, buy a main screen only and instal an android passenger screen

I will have navigation and car play with Waze on main screen and tv, Netflix on passenger screen

Hey, I'd buy your double screen if you upgrade it

I was hoping for just the passenger display and not to replace the main display too... Basically just adding a separate android display that has no interconnectivity to the main vehicle regarding changing settings etc. Basically an android display that would turn on when the car does and turn off when the car does.

Only the passenger display is replaced, I mean the operation speed is faster than the original screen

Yes, Bluetooth
