I said I was going to get this and I pulled the trigger tonight. I got all the top specs they had and will update with how the company deals with my purchase. $785 no tax and free Fedex shipping. Images are of my selection and model.
Update on my order!!! So the day after I placed my order, I got an email from a guy named Mike confirming my order. Not sure if it was automated because he did not reply to my response. Once I got my tracking number, I found out that it was neither of the options given to me when ordering, which was DHL or FEDEX, I went with FEDEX. Today I check my email and got an email from UPS, stating there are tarrif charges. $72.50 on top of the already paid $785 Should be a few more days....
The Smarty-Trend is in my hands now. This is what to expect when ordering the highest model they have, except the cables and gift you choose would be different. The cables change with the factory radio you have, I have the JBL Navigation unit so they provide the can bus for the JBL system. I picked the front dash camera and I must say its big, I thought it would be smaller. Here is the unboxing pictures
Got it installed and tested and working, kinda sorta. They sent me the wrong harness and so the system is not connected for sure to the factory rear camera. I got audio but cant yet get it to connect to wifi. I noticed in another thread they did the same thing with the harness. I emailed them but will have to wait for a reply during working hours. In the picture with my factory harness, I am only connected to the white harnesses, the other four are not connected at all. The only reason I have audio is because they sent the can bus but why wouldnt they think...."hey this will need the complete harnesses" not just a basic non JBL harness but use a can bus? I put in the notes before I placed the order, what my car model was and oem navigation model. Then they asked me to send a picture in a possibly automated email, so I did. Yet my order was sent incomplete. I am unable to use the front camera since I can not connect to wifi and I guess download the app or activate it. The kit fits and snaps into place and not like other members installations so that is user error not design.
I finally got the dash camera to work. The manual they send is not for my model and does not show my unit at all. I had to do some googling to find different info. I needed to go into the system file manager and then select the camera that is usb and then select and install the camera app. Now as far as not getting the complete harness for my car, I just ordered one like another user did here. I do not know how well or fast they will take care of my issue.
Alright just an update on the companies response to my issue. After some back and forth communication on Whatsapp. I explained to them that I got the wrong harness for my car and they first wanted me to just buy another rear camera. I said no, I bought the radio to use the factory camera. I told them what type of harness I needed to make it all work and they said they would send it at their expense. I got the new harness they sent on 2/20/26 They ended up sending me two harnesses and the rear camera system. Only one harness was useable and needless to say, I did not use the afermarket rear camera. Once the new harness was all connected I tested it out and the factory rear camera works as it should now. A couple things I want to complete are using the factory microphone and/or location. Keeping the factory auxiliary port in the center console. I managed to use the factory gps antenna. So far so good, oh but now with new harness, there is a hiss in the speakers, even with the audio turned off. Will have to figure that out, stay tuned!!!
