Aftermarket TouchScreen Installed

[RubyRod]

I finally completed the installation of my aftermarket TouchScreen. Re-used the OEM trim panel in the center of the Dash. I haven't found any problems with the operation of the car yet. I admit I haven't tried EVERYTHING but I've operated most of the main functions of the car and most of the electronic accessories. So far, so good.

I want to thank Fireduck69 from this forum & "Hal-in-Prescott" from XLRForum.com for their help with my installation.

I created a Word '97 document detailing some of the things I learned while installing my unit. If anyone is interested send a PM and I'll forward a copy. Maybe it will help, maybe not.

Great looking job. I am most interested in the identity of the products you used. Please send the word doc to tom8coss@gmail.com. I just went thru a radio change and all the replacement radios were smaller than the opening in the factory panel, needing some kind of filler panels on either side of the touchscreen. Thanks for any info.

Check this out. Can be a reality if we can get enough people interested.

• Massive 14.3" touchscreen – Unmatched among Cadillac cars — only the Escalade and hyper-exclusive Celestiq SUVs outsize this unit
• Android 13 OS with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
• Full HVAC control directly on screen and with manual side trim quick access buttons
• 3 camera support (rear, front curb, dash w/loop recording)
• Bose + aftermarket audio ready (5v preamp, 5 channels)
• DTS DSP audio – precision tune every speaker
• OEM fitment – ABS injection molded, CAD-engineered, structurally certified

This isn’t a gimmick. It’s a factory-level command center built for the rare Cadillac XLR.
