Great video. I've got to get one for my 2012 Cruse! But man seeing all those wires after ya had the dash all apart just about gave me heart failure. Lol. Wow talk about over stimulating. I'm an android user myself so this looks Awesome! Great video again Thanks for sharing.
Nice. I have a Ford Focus 2016 and I replaced my cheap 4 inch MyFord screen to an 8 inch screen with Sync 3 with Apple CarPlay. Before that, I also considered buying a new car, but I decided to upgrade the headunit and make changes to my car to fit my taste.
I've recently begun to think about an aftermarket stereo for my Chevy Cruze. I wondered if the Android ones would actually be better since my stock stereo malfunctions on me every now and then. The stock unit I have in my car is the upgraded version with the full color touch screen monitor. I do like my car, but the stock stereo unit has been a problem since I bought my car and a replacement is looking like a really good idea.
Do not I repeat do not get an android radio if you prefer better control and sound quality, I’ve wasted 700+ trying to figure out why my subs wouldn’t adjust with an aftermarket Tesla android radio. Grabbed a wire harness and new radio good to go
Did they send all the required installation parts that you would need? as the one people have posted is universal so you will need a dash kit and wiring harness.
Hello i have similar unit and i run into a problem the radio works well but after replacing it for the old unit with cd drive all of the buttons stoped working not even the wolume on the steering wheel
Do you have a video for the installation and modifications needed to make this happen? Cuz I have a 2014, and the same stock head unit that you had. How do you do this? I use an Apple phone, what are the differences?
Same here if u find any solution let me know .. I want adnroid or any touch screen with all stock features .. and don't wnt to get rid of those analog knobs casing... Most aftermarket units coming for cruze or one with 8-10" touch screen android with custom casing... But I love those analog knobs and original casisng
about to get a Cruze 2015 LS.... came with the ugly default radio... still recommend this stereo @The Inja ? Want one that can have waze, spotify and all the things you showed in the video...so yeah a tablet I guess.
do you happen to the have the model of this head unit, because my wife has the same chevy cruze, and she was very disappointed that the bluetooth in the car only allows phone calls and not music any help would be greatly appreciated
I really wish you remembered the model or had put a link in because the only radio that comes up on seicane is a huge tesla style screen which I'm not a fan of, i want something clean and simple like your install. Beautiful radio tho

Thank you. Nice overview. Today is 16.12.2020 (a whole year after you published your great review). Are you still satisfied with the product? Would you recommend the product today as well?
Hi friend, I have a 2016 Chevy Cruze Limited LS. I want to change the radio because I don't like it, I think this radio fits. Please help me, I hate the little radio
So I got the Tesla style android screen and my car has a factory rear view camera how do in connect that and I am not getting any sound from the radio I’m my speakers… any help will be greatly appreciated
I want to buy this for my Chevrolet Cruze LTZ 2012, could someone assist me as i don't want to get rid of the buttons.. unlike the Tesla type touchscreen these days
Where did you get this?I can’t find it anywhere. Only ones I can find is are Tesla style ones. With this one, can you have Bluetooth calls without Bluetooth in the stock car?
May seem like a dumb question but is the start up time always the same length? turned key at 0:11 and it didn't load up until 0:46. Only wondering because looking for a new head unit but don't know if it's viable as I deliver food and have to use maps almost every time I enter the car. For anybody else with this car if you buy a phone mounting magnet for a few dollar and dont mind sticking it onto your OEM screen newer iphones/androids fit nicely over the old screen as a temporary touchscreen
It seems to start a little slower when it is really cold and hasn't been started for a while (which is the case here). It boots up much faster if you've already driven with it that day. And you can play music through Bluetooth on this one.

Hi, do you still have this installed? As i heard a lot of complaints for the company on sending faulty ones, and a very tiresome and expensive process of getting new in case of such a situation. I do not want to install an android tablet on my dash, but rather look for an option like this with new Android 10 configuration and Android Auto! Please advice, will surely help me in my build!
I installed one similar to this one but on the dashboard display its showing in a different language any idea on how to get it to show back into english?
Quick questions. We're you able to keep using the Stock microphone or did you have to install a microphone from the aftermarket radio? Also does it support Android Auto?
I just bought this for my 2014 Diesel Cruze with the Pioneer speakers and factory amp. So far it's no good. No sound, no center console buttons work. I downloaded Android Auto, and it says it's not compatible with the unit.
I just bought a '12 Cruze and I might be in the market to upgrade my head unit as well. I like to drive with the gauges and radio display brightness turned down as low as possible, especially at night. I only really need or want it bright enough to see my speed and check the gauges from time to time. With this head unit can you turn off the display and still listen to the radio (or whatever apps you have open)? and does the display on the head unit work in unison with the gauge rheostat? thanks, solid vid
No, it has to be on to be in use. There may be a sleep mode or something, but I haven't found it from factory. I'm sure there's an app somewhere that you can install for that.
Still trying to figure that out as well, I think there’s like 1 or 2 dash kits that only have that top part instead of leaving that top screen black and replacing the radio buttons with a screen
Just bought a 2015 Chevy Cruze LT for my first car and I am super hyped for that. I saw you has interior lights in your car. How did you do that and whats the brand? Thanks, didn't really need this video because I have the big stock screen but still a great video man.
I've seen this headunit as well as a few other ones online and have been waiting for the proper funds before investing into one. After watching this I'm leaning more towards this one, simply from how enthusiastic you are after having it for quite some time now. I was curious if you remember there being any RCA ports on the back of the headunit? I'm currently running an aftermarket amplifier for a couple of JL subs I have in my trunk, and because the stock headunit lacked RCA ports, I tapped into a door speaker for the sound (sounds janky, I know, however my wires were ran through the grommet in the b pillar so its unnoticeable). Knowing whether or not this headunit has rca outputs would be greatly appreciated! I plan on pulling the stock speakers and amplifier when I go to upgrade the headunit because the stock speakers just arent loud enough for my liking.
Hey man I appreciate the video, I'm looking to do the same, can you give me all details on the headunit? Where u got it and the name of it plz thanks man
Really good video, how much did this cost? And do they sell ones compatible for 2016 models? I kinda don't like my tiny info screen and looking to upgrade a little since I paid it off last July.
What's the website where to get this?
Can u put the link? I couldn't find it on the secaine site

did you ever see the part number? I have the exact same year and I'm tired of the green display lol
Hello i have similar unit and i run into a problem the radio works well but after replacing it for the old unit with cd drive all of the buttons stoped working not even the wolume on the steering wheel
Aftermarket is always the answer my guy
Is the installation process similar to a Chevy Cruze 2010?
Do you mean the Chevy Cobalt because the Cruze didn’t come out until 2011
Where i can buy that monitor sir? 2012 cruze :) my monitor wont work anymore
Can you make a video explaining how you installed and wired the rear view camera.
I was just thinking that might be helpful. I'll let you know when I post it 👊🏼
👍
Please do, I recently bought 2011 and I really want a touchscreen like yours.

do you happen to the have the model of this head unit, because my wife has the same chevy cruze, and she was very disappointed that the bluetooth in the car only allows phone calls and not music any help would be greatly appreciated
will this display show the AC controller options, like temperature, fan speed and mode etc.,

It seems to start a little slower when it is really cold and hasn't been started for a while (which is the case here). It boots up much faster if you've already driven with it that day.
And you can play music through Bluetooth on this one.
how many seconds does it take to boot and start ?
Thanks in advance
What about controlling the heater and ac like the stock screen??
is there a different one that works with a 2016 Chevy Cruze LTZ? It's still gen 1 but technically still 2016.

I feel like a dumb ass for asking this but I have an I phone but I can still connect to the Bluetooth just not anything else with my phone?
Besides AM/FM, do you happen to know if this radio supports xm/satellite radio?
I believe it comes with the basic unit.
Below the options on the web page it lists what is included and what is optional.
Was the original radio a single or double DIN?
Single and crappy! Kinda like me in college
So, did you replace a single DIN with a double DIN? If I read the specs correctly, your new one is double. Is that correct?
@@dad0041 it's a 7" touchscreen and the DVD player replaced the stock radio, but the faceplate and functions all remain the same.

Yes, this is plug and play! I don't know if it will work with stock reverse cam but I can imagine it would. The software is pretty nice on these!
