THE 3 MCLAREN 570S UPGRADES I SHOULD HAVE DONE SINCE DAY ONE!

Moment of truth, guys. Disconnected the battery. Let's see if we got audio. Moment of truth, guys. We're clicking on the radio. Do we have audio? [Music] No way. There's no way, dude. What's up, guys? Welcome back. Welcome back to another video. And in today's video, finally been doing some upgrades to the McLaren. I've had a few things for this car that I've been trying to get installed on. I figured might as well make a dedicated video installing all three of these products from all three of these different companies. And each single one of these products going to have an in-depth install on my second channel, which is a channel that I'm going to start making more in-depth videos. I know a lot of you guys used to watch me back in the day cuz I used to make a lot of in-depth how-to videos. And then basically now got into more vlog style, just kind of quick, you know, entertainment stuff. So anyways, for those of you guys who want to see these three installs in depth, make sure to check out my second channel link down below where each one of the products have a separate dedicated video. And in today's video, we're just going to go ahead and bang them all out, get them all installed on the McLaren, so this thing can become more and more of my favorite car of the fleet because these upgrades are going to give me not only peace of mind, but it's going to actually make the car drive better and feel better and uh add more entertainment. Literally dab it into all three spaces of this car. And I'll show you guys why. So, here's all the products that we have for the McLaren. And as of right now, we also have the Valtronic exhaust, but that's going to be in a whole separate video just because of how in-depth that's going to be. So, we have a triple dash cam. So, we have one for the front windshield, one for the rear windshield, and then also right here. This can I think it's going to be like more of a POV camera. So, this is a triple camera setup dash cam, which is what I've been trying to get so I can get all three perspectives in this car all at once. They even have a remote to where you can activate and deactivate everything at the exact same time without actually having to finick with the little buttons that are on this device. And this bad boy is Bluetooth connected. And what I love about them as well, you guys can see, is that they care about the details. They have the battery included with it. A lot of companies don't include batteries. They don't include SD cards. You could purchase an SD card separately from them, but again, the fact that they actually offer an SD card is pretty sick as well. And then they also have the hardwire kit, which we may or may not be installing that. We'll see. So, huge special shout out to them for sending us out this product cuz I've been needing a dash cam and this is the ultimate dash cam with all three perspectives which I'm super stoked to see. This bad boy is from Motive Supply. It's been a struggle finding parts for this car, guys. I didn't find a single CarPlay uh within the states for this car. So, Motive Supply was probably one of the few that actually had it for this car. I reached out to them and again, huge special shout out to them for working on this build as well because Apple CarPlay is going to transform the infotainment system in this car. For those of you guys who don't know, the McLaren infotainment system is not that great. It's pretty much outdated and uh yeah, it's pretty sluggish. So, adding the Apple CarPlay is going to make it feel really premium and nice. And I honestly, guys, I cannot wait for that. And last but not least, definitely not least, is these bad boys right here. My front two shocks when SSR got it diagnosed completely blown. And at the same time, my front two wheels are bent. So, I needed two front shocks. These shocks from dealer, they quoted me about $8,000. I forgot they were for the pair. $8,000 each. These are the ones with the hideright as well. So, these are very, very, very expensive. As you guys can see, these don't look used whatsoever. And that's because they're completely rebuilt. These bad boys are rebuilt by none other but the legends Fast MX. So, huge shout out to them as well for partnering up for this video because these bad boys are going to help transform the drivability of this car. Right now, this thing clunks like crazy on the front end of this car. And with the the crazy thing is everyone on the forums are reporting similar issues and only 15 to 20,000 miles. Again, my car has 40,000 miles, so my car has a lot more miles. But again, with only 40,000 mi, you'd assume that these will last a lot longer. So, they actually refurbish these to be honestly better than OEF. And the price point that they sell these at are pretty much the same cost as used ones. So, why buy used when you can get them brand new, refurbished, which are way, way, way better. So, we're not going to be installing these just now just because I actually have to take this car down to the shop. I also am not going to be installing the CarPlay just now because we have to gut a lot of things in the interior and we're also trying to diagnose our sound issue. So, we'll probably do that at the same time as installing Apple CarPlay. So, in the meantime, let's just go ahead and get the dash cam installed because this bad boy is going to give us the peace of mind knowing we have 360 protection on our car, which I'm super stoked, and also give me some clips to give to you guys if we catch anything interesting while driving. So, let's go ahead and get this SD card out. We got 64 gigs, which should be more than enough for this dash cam. We got the Bluetooth adapter in the packaging. This looks super nice. I love how compact it is. There's actually a battery already in it. And they sent us a spare battery and a spare 3M. Guys, this is already a really good sign because all the other companies I know about are always trying to figure out ways to save money. And this company is caring more about the customer. So, let's go ahead and pull up on that to activate that. And then we'll apply the 3M once we get in the car. Again, we're going to be passing on this hard wire kit for now. We may or may not come back to this, but I think we're going to pass on it for now. And now for the big boy, baby. Get this thing opened up. Come on. Come on. Hope I didn't shake everything up too much. All right. Right out of the box, we got instructions. We got some more stuff, which we don't really care about. Here are the dash cams. So, we got the main one that's going to be mounted onto the dashboard again with some 3M good quality sticky adhesive. And we got the other two dash cams as well. And I'm assuming back here is going to be all the wiring you're going to need. And uh looks like there's some extra 3M, which is again super super super nice. Instructions, all the wiring we're going to need. So, let's go ahead and just peel this off real quick. We do have this polarizing lens, which helps pretty much reduce uh any glare that's going to be coming through our windshield. So, I mean, obviously, you don't have to install it, but I mean, might as well. It comes with it. Again, the attention to detail is just amazing. I guess at this point, guys, we're pretty much ready to install it. We got all the dash cams. We got all the wiring out. Once again, everything is their own brand. No random products from other companies in their kit. This also has their own brand, Type-C, which is super nice. Let's go ahead and go inside the car. Let's see if the image quality is as good as the actual quality of the dash cam and the packaging. Because if it is, this honestly might mark one of the best dash cams I've ever had. So, I got some good news. That was really easy. So, to kind of show you guys how I got this all wired up, I didn't end up doing the hard wire like I told you guys cuz this is a McLaren. I don't want any battery drain issues. So, pretty much I mounted the dash camera right up there. I routed the rear dash camera from the from the driver's side just so there's not too much wiring on one side and then I mounted it up right there. I just did it straight through the headliner so it's an easy tuck. That took me maybe like 5 10 minutes. And then this camera right here, I just tucked the wire over uh the rearview camera. So that was easy there. And then the power wire, I routed it through here down the A-pillar. Every car is going to be a little bit different, but um this kind of format's kind of the same. So, uh, from the main camera over the headliner, down the A-pillar. Actually, not all the way down the A-pillar. I think I pretty much just routed over the A-pillar again through the headliner, and then brought it down here. As you guys can see, the wire is right back over here, and then routed it through here. And if I go ahead and release the seat, you guys can see the wire pretty much right down there. And it just plugs straight into the cigarette lighter. Um, obviously, if you hardwired it, it' be a lot cleaner, but nobody's going back there anyway, so that wire is not getting in the way of anybody. Here is the dash camera on. You guys can see the interior view with the fisheye. Here's the rear view. Not much to see because I have the carbon fiber uh how do you explain it? The uh the air scoops. You can't really see too much going on back there, but eventually I'm going to remove that air scoop with the 600LT kit. And then you got the front dash camera in there as well. What I like about this is also has the voice feature. So when you click it, it turns off audio and it tells you audio is off. I can't really see exactly what's going on on dash cameras. So when you click it, it actually tells you what exactly you clicked. And if you didn't like what you clicked, you just click it again. It turns it off. So, it's very easy to use. Um, right now I have it on all three dash cams recording. I believe the two smaller cameras records in 2K and the dash the main dash camera records in 4K. And as soon as you turn on the car, the camera says, "Hey, we are recording. Ready to go." So, that being said, I might as well get a little bit of footage for you guys. So, I'm going to go ahead and take this down to the shop, a good 30-minut drive, get some footage for you guys, and I'll throw it in right now. Looks like the dash camera is doing its magic. Oh, this is pretty sick, guys. Let's head down to the shop. 30-minute drive. Can't believe the music's working. See that? That's I like that. That's pretty. I want to be with a big Yeah, those ships are like crisp. Yeah, actually. I think you can almost fit a full size controller. See, that that I like that. Yeah, that's pretty. I want to be vegan. And we officially made it to Natty Auto Parts. So, we got the car chilling right over here. We installed all three dash cams. All three of them working great. I absolutely love the camera stuff, how easy it was to install, especially if you just connected to a cigarette lighter. I think it took me in total probably 30 minutes because I just routed everything through the headliner section um and just made it super quick and easy like that. So, now that the car is here, we have the front shocks refurbished from Fast MX. These literally look brand new. Let me show you guys. Let me let me let me take them back out. Let me show you guys a little cinematic. And let's go ahead and try to replace one of them ourselves and hope to God we can do it ourselves. Cuz if we can't, we'll get this thing toast to a shop. But everything on a McLaren cost a lot of money to get done at a shop. So, we're going to hope that we can do it ourselves. [Music] [Music] For those you guys ever wondered what it looks like inside of a wheel well of a McLaren, there you go. Unpainted. That looks kind of crazy. But anyways, now we have full access to the shock top to bottom. You do have to move this control arm to get this shock out. And then I think it should be good to go. Hopefully it's not going to be too difficult with that hydraulic line. It's the only thing that's kind of scaring me that controls the thing to go up and down. Um, but I guess we will have to find out. So, the first couple of steps that I pretty much took to start getting the shock out, um, is that I got this front fender liner out and this rear this upper fender liner kind of tucked out of the way. And as you guys can see right now, um, I'm pretty much starting to get the shock apart. So, I disconnected both sensors that go on both sides. Uh, that was very easy. The two bolts up there got unbolted. And uh yeah, there's nothing that needs to get done up here thankfully. Everything is literally down here. Um now we do have a hydraulic line which we'll be getting to in the end. I feel like I'm going to go ahead and take that off as soon as we have the other shock ready to go and mounted. Um so we lose as minimal fluid as possible. So what I'm doing to actually get the shock out, this control arm is definitely going to be in the way. So I'm going to go ahead and start unbolting that. As you guys can see, I already took a few bolts out of it. I have one more behind the shock over there. I'm probably just going to use some kind of wrench to get that last bolt out. I already took the bolt out right over here that connects it to the knuckle. And then the last bolt down there that connects the shock to the control arm that's been unbolted. So, I'm going to go ahead and just start working on getting this thing out of here. Um, so this shock can come towards me and I can probably pull it up or out or see what we're going to do exactly to get that shock out. So, just like that, we got the old shock out. You guys can see the difference between the old shock right here and the new shock right here. The boot actually popped off of the metal portion right over here. as you guys can see right there. And all this is just grimy and caked up. This one right here from Fast MX, it looks absolutely beautiful. So, I cannot wait to get that installed. Honestly, when I took off the cap right here, when I actually took off the line, nothing really came out of it. So, um I think there's obviously going to have to be some hydraulic fluid in here, which will obviously prime through the car, but I don't think you need any special computers. Um stay tuned to the end of the video to really find out. But in the meantime, let's just go ahead and get the new one installed from Fast MX. I don't know if I mentioned, but these shocks are OEM shocks, but just rebuilt. So, so technically these are going to be a lot better than just some new ones that have been sitting up on a shelf for the last eight years in my opinion. So, again, super pleased with these. I cannot wait to get them installed, and I can't wait to feel the difference when driving. [Music] And just like that, guys, you have the hydraulic line hooked up, both connectors on there, the two bolts up there. So, the way I did it, guys, and the way you guys should do it to avoid the way that I did it, um, the only thing you have to pretty much undo from the beginning is the tie rod. You don't want to do that in the end because this whole control arm and then basically this scuffs up your frame right up here as you guys can see that I did. So, long story short, to avoid the headache and avoid what I did, take the tie rod out first. It literally makes your life a whole lot easier. The shocks able to easily come out. Um, and then long story short, the only other thing you have to loosen other than that, I believe, is honestly just these four bolts and then you pull the whole shock towards you. Uh, take out the last bolt for the shock on the bottom. And that's what I'm going to try to do on the other side and let you guys know if that's the plan. I ended up taking out the two the four bolts down there for the control arm. Took out the one that's underneath this. Uh, I took out the the tie rod right here. Um, again, everything. So, I'm going to confirm my hypothesis on the other side and let you guys know that's how easy it is. But honestly guys, if you guys have ever done a shock before, it's literally just this easy. This hydraulic line is not scary whatsoever. Um, nothing really comes out of it. When I took it out, literally not even a drip fell on the ground. That's all WD40. So, uh, yeah, I won't even really stress about that. Just make sure to top off your hydraulic fluid, which I believe is right up there on the uh the front clip of the car, which we'll be doing in this video as well. But yeah, guys, honestly, so far, first part swap on the McLaren, not too shabby. Not too shabby. Let's just go ahead and assemble all this real quick. And real quick before I actually put on the rest of the assembly, check out that beautiful shock. I'm actually going to go ahead and try to clean off this caliper as well. Um, this is like really I think this is like burn damage um from like the heat, I'm assuming. Uh, and it looks like somebody's already kind of uh put two logos on here for some reason. So, I'm going to try to peel off one of the logos and I'm going to try to go ahead and acetone the rest of this so this can come out a whole lot better. I've already tried on the front face. You guys can see how good it looks. It used to look like that. So, see if we can do as much as we can to it. And just like that, guys, everything is fully assembled. The new shock is in and the caliper. We went ahead and got all the grime off the I don't know why there's a double logo. I tried taking some of it off of there, but it's actually taken off both of them, unfortunately. So, I might have to get into some new stickers there, but not a big deal. This is looking a whole lot better than it did. Let's just go ahead and get the wheel on on this side and go ahead and work on the other side. I almost made a $5,000 mistake. I hit the hammer against my carbon carbon ceramic rotor. [Music] What do you think, John? Was that quicker? Yeah. So, guys, we got the shock out. Literally, the only thing I actually did on this side was take out the four control, I mean, the four bolts on this, take out that sway bar. Uh, once I got all that stuff disconnected, the whole thing dropped. Took out the two bolts up there, and I didn't even take out the fender liner, as you guys can see. So, this side literally only took me probably 25 minutes to do. Now, we're going to slap in the new shock. And then, uh, yeah, we're going to go ahead and try to do the whole bleeding procedure for the hydraulic system. But, so far so good. Um, now I don't know if my clunking sound's going to go away. It's definitely going to ride a lot better with these new shocks, but as you guys can see, I didn't even loosen the bolts on this. I don't think that's supposed to do that. So, um, here's a part number in case any of you guys need to order it before actually starting this job. If you guys are doing the shocks, I recommend replacing this. Everything else seems pretty tight, but this upper control arm, uh, it looks like it wore out pretty quickly. So, you guys can thank me later on that because I'm going to have to basically do this job again because the only way to pretty much get this control arm out is by getting it out of the way of the shock. So, yeah, I'll have to do the shock situation again to replace these. You're welcome, guys. You're welcome. I'm doing it so you guys don't have to make the same mistakes I am. But, long story short, I think one of the clunking sounds is definitely that control arm. But, anyways, well, anyways, let's go ahead and just replace the new shock cuz I feel like it's going to make the car still ride a whole lot better. So, we got the shocks installed right now. Uh, pretty much also clean up the calipers, but it's not part of this video. So, we got the shock installed. Like I told you guys, just a few things you have to do. It's honestly a very easy install. And when I take off the hydraulic line, nothing really came out. So, if you guys look over here as well, um, this should be our hydraulic fluid, and it's right to the top. So, I'm going to go and run the car a little bit, see if that goes down, uh, by turning the steering wheel left, right, left, right, left, right, and then just top it off gradually. All right, so let's go ahead and turn on the car, move the car to the front of the shop, and again, just turn the steering wheel, raise the lift, lower the lift, raise the lift, lower the lift, just so all the fluids kind of go into the shocks. And then we just got to go ahead and just top them off. I think that's all you really have to do. So, basically, I'm going to do this a few more times until I feel pretty much that the the raising and the lowering is very smooth. I did hear a few pops on the first time that I did it. The second time I did it, I heard no pops. And we're just going to keep doing it up and down, up and down. And then we're going to check off our fluids and make sure it's popped off in the end. So, we just went ahead and popped off the cap. Uh the fluids look honestly pretty good, guys. So, I'm not really tripping in terms of getting uh the levels. I mean, the level's good, so I'm assuming it's good. I'm not a professional. I don't really do this all the time, but it looks good. So, I think that's the second thing we went ahead and done. I'm going to go ahead and do a little bit of test driving today and I'll let you guys know how they feel tomorrow before I actually install the Apple CarPlay. And about a week later, guys, we are back with the McLaren and today we're finally getting some things sorted on this thing. So, before we actually install the Apple CarPlay, which is the final thing I want to get installed onto this car, we're pretty much stripping the whole interior to diagnose our audio issues. So, we have my boy Nick back from Denver. He's always here to help me with anything electrical, wiring, coding when it comes to my cars. This one though is a McLaren. So, it's a little out of his element and my element. And we're going to go ahead and try to figure out whether or not. And we're going to figure out today if the issue with our audio is electrical or something actually with one of the parts of the car. We're going to hopefully try to figure that out today. McLaren's diagnostic guide for this car is really funny. It literally tells you to check for shorts. It tells you to check wiring. It tells you to check grounds on the A-pillar B-pillar. So, long story short, a lot of things can fail and it looks like it's pretty common. And hopefully we can find that issue today. And again, after that, we mean installing Apple CarPlay, which I'm super stoked about. So, we got the McLaren right here. For the 10th time, we're going to start taking a bunch of things apart. It's funny how I got a clean title to avoid taking anything apart on this car, but end of the day, guys, we're taking everything apart. We're going to fix it ourselves and hopefully get our audio back. So, Nick went ahead and popped down this cover, tested all the fuses down there, and everything came good. Last week, I actually found a bad fuse, but unfortunately, it didn't really change anything in terms of this. So now we're going to go ahead pop this rear fuse panel behind the driver's seat and check all those fuses. So we went ahead disconnected the screen, disconnected that module that's right down there because it's part of the steps that are actually from McLaren. We got to basically what do you call this basically? So this is like a a service instruction. So um one of your friends was gracious enough to pull this from us. It had the same current, no fault codes in the car cuz we have the original tool now to check that and there's no audio. So, we're going through the steps. Apply tape around the speakers so the speakers are not grounding out against the chassis of the car. Yeah, guys, we can't make this stuff up. This is an actual McLaren guy. This is uh this is McLaren quality for y'all. So, just in case y'all are wondering why we're having issues, it's just the way this car is built. So guys, looks like somebody's already been here. They already put the tape that can actually what is it called? Like ground out on the frame. Yeah, somebody already did this. So somebody already tried diagnosing. Hopefully they just didn't go through all the steps that we're about to go through. Man, guys, this just a buddy. All right, so we have that disconnected. We have that disconnected. The next step is saying to access the amplifier, which is right back here, which we already I kind of access that cuz I already replaced that. I said kind of. I've already replaced the amplifier on this car. Put it back to the original because it didn't do anything when I replaced it. So, let's go and access the amplifier behind me right now and uh see if we can make anything up. All right, so we're having a little bit of trouble actually getting this center console out. We'll show you guys what we had to remove um once we have to get this whole center console out. But it's officially out. Let's go ahead and get this thing out of the car. Now that that's out, which we have to get out because we're going to be doing the proper wiring, full access to the module right over there. Um and we can actually do all the plugging that is necessary. So, fun fact, guys, there was a cable right back over here in blue that was disconnected. Uh there was two cables in the center console that were disconnected. Like they're not connected to anything. We don't even know where it connects to. Same goes with that one back there. And there is one behind uh the uh head unit that is unplugged as well. So we're not sure those I don't know if those are just meant for extra options. I mean on BMWs there's supposed to be nothing unplugged, but this is a McLaren, so we have no idea if things are just not unplugged because there's an option that's not installed in this car or as an aftermarket thing or it's literally not supposed to be unplugged. So, we're going to keep diving more into this. Figured out that 5 hours later. So, guys, we went ahead and figured out most likely what our issue is. So, this cable right here is a pretty common thing that fails on McLaren that have to deal with the audio. I notice a lot of people on the forums have issues with this. They found a lot of janky stuff that's going on over here as well. Plus, it also blew our fuse. So, we're leading to believe that this cable is bad. So, that being said, finding this cable is almost impossible. We went online, search absolutely everywhere. There's only one in Alberta, Canada that's currently damaged and they're still selling it damaged because maybe these are kind of fixable because I guess people are still buying these things damaged because from the dealer after calling them Beverly Hills McLaren, they wanted how much? 20 2600 2600 guys for a cable. No ETA. No ETA too. Back ordered. So I just decided to call up on my buddies to see if they have the cable. And thankfully, my boy Nick that owns his own dismantling business actually has this cable literally stored in the back. Not listed on eBay, just literally had it stored in the back because he ended up, I believe, ordering it or needing it for one of his other cars and ended up being the wrong cable for his car. But now it turned out to be the right cable for our car. If this ain't fake, guys, I don't know what is. Let's go ahead and go get that cable. [Music] All right, guys. So, we just got out of BMA. We got the cable that we needed, which I'm super stoked about. Gave him a little bit of a tip just because he went out of his way, not only sold us the cable, but he also came down to his shop on a weekend uh to show us a donor car that potentially had the wiring. And long story short, it did confirm that a few of our wirings that are unplugged is okay to be unplugged, which is a huge good sign. So, shout out to Nick again. Huge shout out to him. Um, at this point, let's head back to the house, plug in this new cable, and hope to God, guys, we have audio. He has the exact same issue on his car, and that's why it turns out that he pulled out that cable, and he pulled it out yesterday. Just his luck, it was the wrong cable. Our luck, it was the right one. Fingers crossed, guys. It's all we need. So, we just got back, and uh yeah, so we got a cable from Nick. We have this Nick that's going to help us install the cable and hope to God our audio starts playing. I've never heard the audio. Are you ready for this? I think he thinks I'm a little too optimistic, but I'm just praying, guys. I haven't had music in this car since I got the car, guys. So, most expensive car I ever own. I don't have music playing. That's crazy. All right, guys. We just connected power to the car. Bunch of things are unplugged. So, maybe if it doesn't work the first time, it could be because something's unplugged. But, moment of truth, guys. Disconnected the battery. Let's see if we got audio. Moment of truth, guys. We're clicking on the radio. Do we have audio? [Music] No way. There's no way, dude. Oh my god. With the non-copyright music. No way, guys. I'm actually speechless right now, bro. Thank god we got audio in the McLaren. In the McNugget, guys. Oh my god. Okay, now we got to figure out some copyright music. Oh my god. Connect your How do we Just like that, guys, we got audio. So, I guess at this point, we can go ahead and install the Apple CarPlay because it should be easy. We got everything taken apart. Let's just go install the CarPlay, get everything reassembled, and not only we have audio now, but we have CarPlay audio. Amazing. I'm so stoked for this video. So, now that we have everything out of the box, guys, let me show you guys how to install the Apple CarPlay on your 570S. So, this is literally everything that comes in the packaging, obviously, other than instructions and a few other things. So, that being said, we have the main wiring harness, which we'll show you guys how to install that. This can honestly get put anywhere you guys want to. It's not it doesn't have to be anywhere specific. Just the closer to the driver, the better, I'd say. This over here, again, we'll show you guys and just the box. We going to show you guys where we're where we're going to go ahead and tuck it in. Again, it's mostly up to preference where you guys want to tuck it. There's no exact right way to do it, but obviously in cars like this, it's going to be a tight fit. So, try to find a good spot to go ahead and install this in. So, after the We already have the car fully disassembled. We removed the center console already. We already removed a bunch of other things. We're going to show you guys where to plug everything in. Um, but in regards to removing your center console, I'll show you guys how to do that exactly. So, we have the center console out of the car. So, right over here, uh, what you guys have to know is that there's a USB port section over here. You have to pry on that forward. There's two clips on each side. When you pry that forward, you unplug everything there, and that pretty much gets the uh USB port out. You have to get that out to get the center console out. There's also four screws in the inside of the center console. You have to pretty much take off things like this to expose the screws. I went ahead and got them cleaned out while I have them out, but basically, there's one in there. Reveals four screws. There's two here, uh, one more over here, and it removes all the screws to actually hold this thing on. There's also one screw on the side right there on both sides. And then on the uh armrest, there's two screws right there and one on each side right there. And then long story short, you guys are probably wondering, well, what about the buttons? How do you remove that? Uh when you actually remove this piece that sits right back over here, it exposes the two screws for this. You pull up on it, pull it out, uh and you unplug the connectors. Easy peasy, lemon breezy. So, the first thing we're going to go ahead and install is this one right here. There's a bunch of piggybacks. They're pretty much going to be unplugging the factory harnesses, plugging the factory ones onto this side, and then plugging this into where it needs to go. So, that being said, we're going to give this bad boy to Nick and he's going to go ahead and help us install it. That's, I believe, the display cable to the screen. This is a cable for things. And then this is also a cable for things. But basically, what this kit does, you got these like tap harnesses. So, it's tapping whatever wires or power it needs from these two connectors, and then it goes into the main connector for the CarPlay box. So, we're unplugging both of these basically from the uh what box would that be called? This is the actual head unit. Okay. So, we're just unplugging the head unit and then plugging the head wiring into the harness and the harness into the head unit. It's actually this kit's really nice. They got all this foam on the connector so it'll help rattling and stuff. No rattling. Yeah. Good quality. Good quality. So, we have a USB port left and then we have the audio port. And I'm assuming that's going to go all the way up here as well. So, we're going to run it neatly. If you want, we can even drill a hole. Yeah, I don't know about that. But, uh, it'll be basically plugged into the aux port. And then I'll run the USB port. It'll be like in here. Yeah, we'll figure that out. We'll show you guys how we do that. But, other than that, it looks like everything else is That's actually really easy. Just two connectors for now. I'll make sure this works before we do that. So, we're going to plug that in. So, we're going to reconnect the battery, guys. And then, um, I do believe there's something we have to play with over here. It says click this down twice or this one down twice to activate it. So, not only do we have to make sure that the CarPlay actually shows up on the screen, but we have to make sure we can connect our phone and we can actually hear audio from it at the same time. So, everything we connected so far is just literally a mockup setup right now. We should be able to get all that feedback back. And if it is, and if it does work out perfectly, then we're going to go and reassemble everything and show you guys how we did it and the cleanest way we did it possible. So to then enter the CarPlay system, we're going to hold okay for two seconds. Pairing over here. So so far things are connecting. CarPlay connect. Just like that. We're already fully connected. Connected my phone. Everything's great in the Navy. Looks great. So at this point, guys, just go ahead and reassemble everything. But CarPlay is working. Honestly, guys, I think that's one of the fastest and easiest CarPlay uh installs we've ever done is literally just a few connectors here and that's it. I mean, honestly, even without removing, you have to move the center console, right? I think there's no other way around that. Probably. I mean the problem is that we had all this removed to diagnose the audio issue which was involved. Um but the connectors are on the top of the uh module now. Correct. Yeah. So I think the best way to do it guys remove the center console. That's something you have to do. But honestly if you guys are scared or look if you guys look online it looks like a scary job to remove the center console. It's actually very easy and that's the only thing you have to do. We had to strip this entire rear section of the car again for the audio issue. Turns out you don't have to do that. Turns out you don't have to remove the screen. So it's literally just the center console. connect everything, route everything back here to the back of the center console, reinstall it, and you're done. So, without further ado, let's go and reinstall it to show you guys the finished product. So, we fully buttoned up everything. The antenna cable is down there. Everything is fully buttoned up. We tested out the radio. We tested out everything. Apple CarPlay. Now, I would conclude the video right there, but now we ran into a whole separate issue. As we were driving the car to go celebrate, you guys can see we have another issue, which is the coolant expansion tank. The overflow tank literally just bursted and dumped a bunch of coolant everywhere. So, uh, yeah, long story short, the McNugget is always going to have issues. It's just life. Once we address everything on this car, hopefully we'll be graving the Navy. This car has 45,000 mi. for a McLaren that is crazy high. But we pretty much already replaced the flywheel, all but every single gasket and underc carriage of the car. We replaced the coolant, the oil, the trans fluid, the brake fluid, everything else could possibly think of. So that being said, we are getting this car buttoned up, but it looks like we still have to repair some more things to make sure this thing is perfect. So, I have no problem buying another coolant reservoir. There's hopefully that will be the last coolant reservoir I'll be buying for this car. This thing again has 45,000 mi. I'm trying to find a coolant reservoir that's under 5,000 mi, if not new. Um, but just everything McLaren that's new has been crazy lately cuz that cable after calling them for $2,600. Yeah, it just makes no sense. So, yeah, guys, this is the end of the video. We installed two new front shocks, which make this car drive a whole lot better. We installed our dash cameras. We installed CarPlay, and we also ended up fixing our audio issue, which is a huge, huge, huge plus. Honestly guys, the fact that we got that audio cable um that was bad on this car locally was insane because that was there wasn't a single one in the country and ended up finding out also that the cable that was on eBay from Alberta was the wrong cable. So, I literally can't express to you guys how lucky we got on getting this audio thing sorted ASAP cuz it's literally people been waiting months to get that cable to get their audio back on their McLaren. So, I know if I ever get my hands on another one of those cables, I'm keeping it in the back pocket in case my audio ever goes back out again because apparently it's just a common failure thing. Now, the topic of the video was the three things we added to our McLaren to make it a whole lot better. The front suspension is a known issue on McLaren's. We knocked that out. The dash camera is for our safety, and this is one of the best dash cams I've ever seen on any of my cars. I highly recommend it, guys. And the Apple CarPlay is just a must for the interior of any exotic and higherend car. Honestly guys, even even on any BMW, I've literally installed Apple CarPlay on almost every single one of my cars is because it's something I can't really live without. So, without further ado, if you guys want any of those products, going to be linked down below. I love you guys so much. Remember to stay humble. I'll see you on the next one. Peace out. Yeah, let's see how you do under pressure. Yeah, I've been wanting this forever. I've been in the field with whatever they throw at me. Brush it off. Pick myself up. Moving on. Hey.
