8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

[Toperz]

Hey guys. I have problem to find screen module(silver box) everywhere I looked is ac/heat module. Those parts listed in past are discontinued and it says its replaced with screen only now.
I'm gonna move from 8.4" non-navi to 12"non-navi.
Thanks

So the last thing I’m waiting on (the bezel) is coming in the new few days. I have the module, screen, rubber top piece, LVDS cable, repinned hookup, gateway bypass, and Bluetooth OBDii. Is there like a written step by step somewhere on exactly how to do the replacement? Thanks

How have you all programmed using AlphaOBD? Did you use windows? Your android phone? iPhone?
Anyone try using windows through a MacBook?
I only have iOS products so I may need to get something alphaOBD can work with.

You can use Jscan if all you have is iOS. It has the same settings needed to change as AlfaOBD.

Ignition off, acc, or run- it doesn’t matter. Just click continue.

 

[Cmassey31099]

I tried that. Still the same message

The normal steps- car with hood open > car configuration change > find the settings that you need to change.

 

[Cmassey31099]

Ok so I made the changes. My truck has been off the whole time. What’s next?

I see the buttons on the new screen lighting up but nothing on the screen.. do I have to pull a fuse to let it reset or?

Unplug the battery and let it sit for a few minutes... After you reconnect it, it might take a few hours for all the feature to come back live on the screen, but you should get a display on the screen.

Everything seems good. Putting the screen into the bezel.. looks like I need 7 screws to attached the screen with the bezel.. anything cheap I can go get tonight? What did you guys use

Yes, I went to Lowes and got a pack of 8 - M5 screws for the screen. just make sure they are short enough...
