In the case where your vehicle already has an OEM touchscreen fitted in your dash, you can use the
existing touchscreen to control your Smartphone. You can also switch the touchscreen to toggle between
your OEM touch functions and controlling your Smartphone. What you will need:
1. MimicsG4
2. customGadz touchscreen switcher adapter. The switcher kit comes with two SUB adapters, one
8-pin and one 4-pin. You only need to use the one that matches your OEM touchscreen cable.
Find the mating connector where the OEM
touchscreen cable connects to.
It should look like this once its released.
Now check to see which SUB adapter fits the
OWM cable, It will either be a 4-pin or 8-pin
cable.
* Make sure that the SUB board is held securely in place to avoid movement. There is a mounting hole
provided or alternatively you can use double sided tape with a thickness of at least 1mm. Failure to do so
can result in tearing the touchscreen ribbon cable!
