That does look rather good, my only issue would be how reflective the screen is, how easy would it be to see on a sunny day for instance (not that we have many!). Perhaps a matt screen protector would work well?
Are these units touch screen or is it all on the buttons?

This is a full touch screen system. Good point on the visibility during sunny days i will try to capture it as well. Ive also noticed that if i put the lights on the screen dims like on oem units which is a nice touch.

I'm now desperate to see this. I keep checking daily to see a video
 I noticed that a video earlier on in the thread showed the unit demonstrated by a Russian blogger. But then I saw a Seicane unit on two other videos dating back to 2014 showing the same design of unit with an older interface and older Android versions. So I'm guessing that these are white-labelled from one factory and resold by different brands. On a 2017 video of a different Seicane unit, I saw an almost instant boot-up with the ability to use your own car brand logo as the boot-up screen. All in all, it looks like a nice solution that will enable it to be swapped back to the RNS-D rather quickly for when the stock look is desired. I'm interested to know how it works with Spotify streaming and also Bluetooth call quality. In the meantime I will reset myself into "wait mode"

Just to keep the thread going, here's a pic of how the LEDS and Android unit match audi leds:
 i still havent hooked up the reverse cam as the cable was short by about 1m and had to get another lenght of RCA cable and a coupler. One issue i found so far is that when you turn the volume all the way down to zero and then more than 0 you will hear a loud pop in the speakers, same when you start the car up you will hear a loud pop i think this is because of having the bose amplifier so I will also have to have a think how to address it. The video is coming I just have to get the reverse cam working and a few other things

I've had a lot of trouble with aftermarket head units doing that with the Bose system. Never did work it out unfortunately. I tried a ground loop isolator which did nothing. Tried various earthing schemes, also nothing. In the end I threw the Bose amp away and put an aftermarket amp in so I'm interested to see if you can figure it out

Not sure if something like this might help: https://catalog.pac-audio.com/catalo...lty-items/tr-4 Or you could build something from scratch. I'd probably start by building something to 'sense' audio -- a simple Darlington Pair circuit might be sufficient, driving an LED so that you can visually check and adjust the sensitivity. Then you just need to use that to control a relay circuit, one with a delayed/adjustable on-delay.
