How is the usability of the screen in daylight. My head unit doesn’t do reverse display and is difficult to read at a glance despite trying every brightness and colour combo. I am considering replacing because I am anal and this bugs me��

Daytime and side angle visibility of the display is great.

I added a sub via hi level to rca converter. Yes I woulda preferred Lo-level rca outputs on the back of the Continental but my method works perfectly albeit with a couple more install steps. I have a 4ch amp (to 4 Focal speakers) mounted to the rear of the passenger wood footboard. And I have a powered sub under the passenger seat. All hidden, discrete and sounds excellent.

Koizumi, you're clearly operating a higher level of know-how than I am....I must google hi level to RCA converter. I am a dinosaur.
I drove my SC a couple of hundred miles today and quickly remembered what makes it a difficult environment for any stereo: the noise, especially the fan whine. Yes, I know...that's music unto itself...drive my boring modern daily if I want to listen in high-fidelity. Cheers, John

Just finished installing the TS-A4670F Rears - huge disappointment. Turned the Conti up to sound level 27 and the distortion was awful..

I double checked speaker wires (have seats out - straight shot) and its the speakers...

I have had the Conti head unit in for a few weeks now and love the unit. Very simple straight forward.

I wish the Conti head unit played better with an Iphone...

@highlife - that’s unfortunate...mine seem to sound ok, but I also have the fade set where a lot of sound comes from the fronts. (I’m assuming you eliminated the oem hardware fader?)

@rwebb - what issue are you having? My iPhone connects reliably every time and functions well

I would assume so - I removed the old Blaupunkt and amp components.. Isn't the fader a function of the head unit?

Looking at the Conti instructions - I dont see the fader as an option to change..?

It takes a second to find, but you there is a Fade setting on the headunit...

Ok - Well I will go out and mess with it - but the page 3 instructions (Bass and Treble) towards the bottom is for a Continental 7416/7418 head unit - the one we bought is the 7412 - we don't have a "right wheel button" ??

In the instructions I got with the unit. It doesn't explain anything about a "Fader" option - although on page 5 it suggests it has one..
