    Too much.
    I'm in the market for a head unit that uses toslink connection. Stinger's ELEV8 series is the only in production Android auto head unit that uses toslink.

    Will be connected to a JL VX1000/5i with toslink and integrated dsp (yeah I know, this is like Rev 8 of my audio system.)

    Pics of third generation appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Ron

    I have put in Racesport gen3 leds I'm the process of doing a custom audio overhaul which will include Hybrid audio unity 6x9 mid bass, unity 3 inch mid driver in the dash and fiberglassing tweets in pilar soundeading all the doors, floors, and headliner and I will be using a helix processor to retain the factory radio and as far as subs I might make custom brackets to move rear seat foward a few inches to get a full size sub in there or I might just go with a pair of jl tw5 or tw3 and it will all be powered by jl audio HD amps or I might try out the new hybrid amps

    It’s the factory dash I used a router to cut the shape i needed and then I used bodyfuller and fiberglass to fill the little gaps that were left and I painted it black

    Were you able to connect to you tube and other non approved carplay apps? I'm having a hard time getting it to work like I thought it would
