Here's the 8" Joying in my 2010 Evora. I did have to solder to the harness that goes to the car.

I’ve been working on a new double din bezel for the past couple of weeks with the goal to get this CarPlay headunit to fit. Hopefully I’ll have the prototype finalized by end of next month.

Good luck brother! You get this going and I’ll be first in line to buy one

what were your plans for vent air direction controls? do you know of one that is already in that shape that you plan to plug in?

I have static vent fins that are designed to slide into channels and will be used for my initial version. This is 100% custom design so no off the shelf vents will fit.

Very cool. I guess you are trying to recreate what Tesla did for the Roadster back in the day? Are these parts available now to put into the Elise?

I have a full Tesla kit FYI "paid way too much for it" if anyone can actually copy the parts I have them. Also there are now decks like this one that are just single din in size but the screen fill the double din. I think that will make it to where we don't have to cut the dash and do as much rerouting of the ac vents.

For those of you with the Joying 7" units, do you have any guidance/experience if it could serve as a replacement track data/video collector using RaceChrono / TrackAddict / Harry's since it is running Android? I assume with the 4G capability/wifi/GPS and bluetooth it could do the job, although I would probably still use a external GPS for faster data collection. But seems like this could work well so you do not have to use your phone all of the time.

I had a Joying 8" in my Evora and liked it so I got the 7" for the Elise.
Quality product. Direct plug-in to OEM connector (no soldering, no crimping!)
Nice to have Torque Pro and DashCommand again.

EQ and DSP allow much better sound out of crappy stock Alpine speakers.
I may make a spacer to push it out a bit so I can move it up a little more.
It does mostly hide the A/C controls but fortunately those are pretty simple.

What equalizer did you use? Possible use coaxial speaker in the future?
