I'm bench testing one just like that. I did buy a custom dash board facia for my Toyota, so mounting will be a perfect factory looking fit. The one I have is the newest version, and the instruction book now says that the backup camera plug with the short blue wires is the WIFI antenna. If you don't have the optional camera, then your signal will be poor or none at all.
Dude that's sick! I've avoided installing a double din because I park on the street and don't want to give someone an excuse to mess with my box but a setup like this one makes me think twice about it. I would really like a follow up on the dash feature when you get a hand on it. Good luck with next week's vid, changing the rear speakers sucks but is worth it with the boost to the rear sound. Your vid on changing the front speakers a few years back was actually the first XDD vid I saw, I hadn't even gotten my box yet but wanted as much info on them knowing I was going to get one. Thanks for all the kick ass content dude!
Thanks for always watching, JC! I have never replaced the rear speakers in this car so I'm actually looking forward to doing it. I have all sorts of cool new stuff to go with all the new speakers that will hopefully make a difference. Stay tuned!

Definitely need helps with mine like how do I change the layout and customize different things where do you go to find out? How do you customize? And also add my family photo in the background
I bought this. It's amazing. But have you figured out how to have the navigation voice directions play and mute the radio/music/pandora so that you can actually hear them. Or is it possible to have the directions louder. I think I already have the slider all the way to the right.
If you are using a samsung device set up a bixby routine to start/stop your hotspot when your phone connects to the units bluetooth- if your not using a samsung device then an app like tasker can do the same function
I didn't, but that's because I'm lazy and gave up on it. I'm sure someone with more patients and better understanding of the apps and readers could easily make it happen. Thanks for watching.
Dope install . I stuck my gps on that square pop out tab thingy in the passenger shelf. Just pop out the tab put a small notch on the side that faces the driver to tuck the wire into the dash comes out really clean no one ever notices unless I point it out
I bought the $179.99 unit from Amazon made by Hikity. It has an orange KEY2 cable coming from the power harness from the back of the head unit. I have no idea where to connect that to in a 2011 Honda Accord EX with no navigation. The only other wire coming from the harness is a pink wire that is not labeled. The other wires Reverse and Antenna or labeled. Any advice? I haven't taken the care apart yet but trying to do all th research I can before starting. I guess the KEY2 wire has to be connected somewhere for my steering wheel controls to work.
I made a video on how to install the backup camera. Just search the channel. Everything else is done via wifi. It's very easy. It's exactly like your cellphone. Thanks for watching.
Do you remember if you screwed the head unit into the waterfall? I’ve got the 9 inch unit and I’m trying to get it mounted in my 2006 xB. I’m thinking using the included mounting brackets as a bridge between the stock radio bracket and the new head unit.
How did you exactly mount radio to the outer housing? Took apart and have no idea to where exactly I would make the holes that you said you drilled into to make radio stay in place….

I had that in my box few weeks ago, to be honest I didn’t like it, too much trouble to install it and couldn’t make it to stay and messed up my dash a little bit, didn’t like the sound either, I went with a blaupunkt brand and it was $180 with Apple car play and fits perfectly due to be a real double din, thanks for the vids man.!

For your OBDII dongle you may have to go into your headunit and change the bluetooth pin to 1234 if its set to 0000, and vice versa if the other way, just to pair the device then you can change it back to the default pin. Give that a try. Goodluck!
Hello, I enjoyed your review... Beautiful set up! I wanted to know if this unit is universal and compatible with most or any vehicle? I have a Toyota Camry and I would love to upgrade my stereo..

THANKS. You have a great video!
I can't remember, but I did follow the directions that came with the unit and everything worked fine. I would recommend finding the wiring schematic for your Ridgeline and matching it up with the Hikity directions. I did a video on how to hook up an amp and sub and backup camera to the headunit. You might want to try watching that to see if that helps you with your install. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Okay so I bought the 10.1... everything is great... except for the 3.0 usb flush mount extensions that you used. I've hooked mine up to multiple other devices and they work flawless.

Hey i have a question Does the volume icons light up? I have the same Stereo and i love it but i don’t know if i have to connect something else to make the side icon light up I can turn the volume up or down easily at night
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Reason I asked is because I bought one of these Amazon eBay Android units for the daughter and I. Neither would accept Bluetooth OBD2 readers, and ours aren't the cheapest. Their OBDLink LX and MX None of the sellers will ever reply to questions regarding it. Also, these stereos claim "Bluetooth 5.2" or whatnot, but I'm highly doubting it since when you actually get in to the android settings, you discover these are poorly flashed, mass produced failures. Her Bluetooth music streaming is flawless, mine was glitchy to the point of unusable. Neither would make/receive a call to any clarity better than two cans and a long piece of string. Would like to find one that actually works, saw this brand on Amazon, figured ask the horse's mouth
@jacobsladder74 The unit reviewed in this video worked. I've also done a video on the Atoto S8, which also works and does it all. Just search my channel for the review.
where do you go in the double din to actually use the blue tooth music? when i try to play it on my phone it wont play, can only find the radio, and some pre downloaded madonna song
Go to settings, connect your phone via Bluetooth and then just play it through your phone. There isn't an actual screen you go to on the radio. It just plays with the home screen showing. Good luck.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers hey! so i figured it out, my unit actually does have a bluetooth area i have to go too, but it wasnt on the home screen. turns out i just has to swipe to the left to show the screen with all my apps . once i went into blue tooth it worked great. thanks for your help man!
I no longer own the car. It was great. No issues. There is a link in the video's description if you are interested in buying one. Read the reviews on Amazon.
Connect the stereo to the internet, go to the Play Store, and search on Android Themes. Once you find an app you like, download to the stereo and then use the app just like you would on your phone. Thanks for watching!
In Settings, there is an area that says "Wallpaper" I connected my headunit to the internet, sent myself an email of the pic I wanted to display, then opened my email on the headunit, downloaded it and then went into Wallpaper and picked the pic. It's no different than how you would do it on a computer. Good luck!
I don't remember. Click the link in the description for more specs on the model. The stereo was working great when I sold the car last year. I have no doubts it's still working. Solid unit. Thanks for watching.
You are really good at showing us how it’s done !!

Contact Hikity. I bet they will send you one.
How did you do the steering wheel audio controls?
I didn't, but they do work if you have a steering wheel that offers that feature.
Might b a awkward question but does is just have a radio function as well? Without needing a phone hookup?
Yes is does. AM and FM.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers awesome thanks!
Any outputs for rear tv screens?
Watch the video for the answer.
Thanks for the video I just ordered mine, but it's the 9inch like your, may I know if it fully support an ios or is only made for Android user since it doesn't say it supports an ios in the listing discription like the 10inch
Yes it will
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers thanks, it as been 8month you make this video, is the device still working correctly, I'm concern about the screen touch
Works perfectly. I use it every day.
When I hooked mine up it wouldn’t turn on an off with care I had to run yellow red together in orde for it to power on an I gotta cut it off manually when I get out car what am I missing
Go back and check your steps again. You missed something for sure. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
Hey i have a question
Does the volume icons light up?
I have the same Stereo and i love it but i don’t know if i have to connect something else to make the side icon light up
I can turn the volume up or down easily at night
It should light up.
Ok
Thanks
Go to factory settings 8888 and go to the lighting setting i had to turn them on
@@TURKO2424
Ok i will do that
Thanks
Ever get the obd2 to work?
No, but only because I never tried. It would work with a little effort.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Reason I asked is because I bought one of these Amazon eBay Android units for the daughter and I.
Neither would accept Bluetooth OBD2 readers, and ours aren't the cheapest. Their OBDLink LX and MX
None of the sellers will ever reply to questions regarding it.
Also, these stereos claim "Bluetooth 5.2" or whatnot, but I'm highly doubting it since when you actually get in to the android settings, you discover these are poorly flashed, mass produced failures. Her Bluetooth music streaming is flawless, mine was glitchy to the point of unusable. Neither would make/receive a call to any clarity better than two cans and a long piece of string.
Would like to find one that actually works, saw this brand on Amazon, figured ask the horse's mouth
@jacobsladder74 The unit reviewed in this video worked. I've also done a video on the Atoto S8, which also works and does it all. Just search my channel for the review.
Can you use Android Auto or screen mirror instead of using a hotspot and then control it from the unit?
Yes!
Just bought the 10.1. Have issues pairing to the torque obd2 reading and suggestions. Or did you get it to work?
I still haven't had time to mess with it.
Figured it out and that work great.
This is great, installed mine but once switched on the screen is inverted and upside down, how do I fix this?
where do you go in the double din to actually use the blue tooth music? when i try to play it on my phone it wont play, can only find the radio, and some pre downloaded madonna song
Go to settings, connect your phone via Bluetooth and then just play it through your phone. There isn't an actual screen you go to on the radio. It just plays with the home screen showing. Good luck.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers hey! so i figured it out, my unit actually does have a bluetooth area i have to go too, but it wasnt on the home screen. turns out i just has to swipe to the left to show the screen with all my apps . once i went into blue tooth it worked great.
thanks for your help man!
Any time! Glad it worked out!
How is the unit holding up? How long have you had it?
I no longer own the car. It was great. No issues. There is a link in the video's description if you are interested in buying one. Read the reviews on Amazon.
I just got the 10.1 but it won't allow me to change the theme. It's stuck on disabled. How do you enable them?
Connect the stereo to the internet, go to the Play Store, and search on Android Themes. Once you find an app you like, download to the stereo and then use the app just like you would on your phone. Thanks for watching!
Were you able to get the real dash to work on the stereo?
I haven't tried since making this video.
What's the hud display if u have a link for it pls
I did a video on it. Just search my channel. Thanks for watching!
How do I use Aux audio with this thing ?
There is a hidden jack.
Hello. I recently installed this on my car and I have a few questions for you regarding it
He liked your comment but never replied......
Im not exactly how to change the home screen on mine. Can you explain how yih changed yours?
In Settings, there is an area that says "Wallpaper" I connected my headunit to the internet, sent myself an email of the pic I wanted to display, then opened my email on the headunit, downloaded it and then went into Wallpaper and picked the pic. It's no different than how you would do it on a computer. Good luck!
Is this the quad core or octa core model and is it still working fine now?
I don't remember. Click the link in the description for more specs on the model. The stereo was working great when I sold the car last year. I have no doubts it's still working. Solid unit. Thanks for watching.
How did you upload pictures?
The same way you do your phone or computer.
I need a touch screen mines dont work. Where can I buy one at or I have to buy a new radio?
There is a link in the description.
