I am starting a modernization of the tow rig, replacing the factory audio with a new double DIN multimedia unit.
This is the starting point, a new dash piece.
double din dash
I am planning on making a docking slot for the phone in the remaining dash slot below the heater controls, using a magnetic USB adapter.
I got this one today and quite pleased so far. Very strong magnet, it easily picks up the phone!
round magnetic adapter
I have it hooked up between my phone and chromebook, and it works for data as promised.
I can get a lightning tip for it and I will make the docking rails easily adjustable for any phone. The goals is to drop any phone in and get either Android or Apple auto integration quickly.
I will install a camera and some better LED back up lights under the bumper, on a switch. I will also put a switch on the factory lights so I can turn them off when backing the trailer. It is worse than useless, as the lights just illuminate the bright front of my trailer and blind me to whatever is past it.
I am unsure of which receiver to get.
This is one of the possibilities, I am looking for input
