This isn't related to your product. But this is the first video I've seen on your channel. The video information, layout, filming, and overall quality was exceptional. You're not just some Jeep dude throwing up garbage content. Subbed. Thanks for the hard work.
Thanks for the follow-up video and answering my question on Instagram! I installed mine last weekend and have pretty much the same issues that you mentioned. One thing I did want to add was, I bought mine from Seicane on eBay. Same unit as yours and the price was $319 plus $80 shipping. I received from China in about 9 days.
I put in an order on their website 2 weeks ago and still haven't received it. You're so lucky! They screwed up one shipment already and had to reship... I hope they didn't screw me up :)
OK I have had this radio a couple of weeks. Great investment! I added a hotspot in the glovebox to get full internet functionality . I am having to add an amp under the dash to get the subwoofer to work ...no problem there, again thanks for sharing this and I highly recommend!
I've been reading many negative reviews of Seicane head units? It's been 4 years Dex. I'm about to drop some cash on a unit with a brand name vs. this one. I binged your videos today and this might be what I spend money on. Brand name or this? Be honest and thanks for the top-notch production value to your videos. I know what kind of time it takes to make these videos and it is very much appreciated.
Your very welcome. For a few hundred bucks, this is a good upgrade. The software is great for android users and it’s average for iPhone users. It’s definitely an upgrade from the tiny U-Connect screen but it does have its flaws. It can be slow/glitchy, not perfect for iPhones, too many unnecessary apps. Hope that helps!
Android enjoyed an 87 percent share of the global market in 2019, while Apple's iOS holds a mere 13 percent. Loka around you, not everyone is an apple fanboi. Android is not an CON for me. BTW -- excellent review! I plan on buying this head unit. Please keep videos coming.
I would actually call android a pro for me. No Apple products over here lol Appreciate the video! I was hoping you would make one I have been considering getting this for my wrangler.
Thanks for the great follow-up! No satellite radio was a deal breaker for me. Given that it has all the optional inputs, I'm surprised they don't offer a SiriusXM module for it.
This is quite interesting. I wonder if there are more modern options. This is running an old version of Android. Android vs iOS is like starting a war in the comments section. I've worked on development in both operating systems and my conclusion is: it doesn't matter what I think lol. Use what you like. 😂 😂
Loved the video Dex.. great energy and enthusiasm in your presentation.. I actually went on their site and almost bought it... I decided to research the company first and it seems like they are still a young upstart company w less than desirable support, hearing some apps were pirated, and the duty issue makes me uneasy. I'm going to spend a bit more and get a pioneer 8200. I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work man.
Thanks alot for the positivity!! I am so glad you did your own research before buying... alot of people don't do that these days. This unit is not for everyone but it was a perfect match for me! Thanks for watching!!
bought one for my 2012 jk, there is no sd card reader just a slot! had to pull dash back out to retrieve sd card. it will play iso dvd files off flash drive with a converter program Brorsoft dvd ripper! over all well worth 500 bucks! thanks for the review, i hav watched all of them
for mirroring put your phone screen on landscape and it will fill out the screen.. there is even and app for android phone that will do it automatically...
Hey Dex! Another great video, a few questions... -Is this system compatible with my Apple IPhone? -Can this system be controlled by my steering wheel controls? -Can I still use my Uconnect?
They sell Carplay modules now that allow for Apple Car Play and Android from the same unit... havent tried it just found it while researching this headunit (including finding this and the other videos... )
So have you replaced and updated your sound system since adding this radio? I have two subs, an Amp, and changed out my interior speakers.. I wanna know if this radio will work with these upgrades
One thing you failed to mention is audio quality. I'm a bit of an audiophile. I would to know how it sounds. Also, did you replace the stock speaker? My next big upgrade is audio. Leaning toward Kenwood right now. and replacing all 4 speakers with polypropylene cones. But alas 9k for windows and 4K for landing to the house is a buzzkill.
The audio quality is pretty awful in the new unit. I thought it would be at least better than the stock hu. I installed JBL speakers in the front and rear about a month ago so I know its not the speakers. Could it be I need an amp? Currently I do not have one installed, how is audio quality on yours and do you have an amp?? Thanks
Matt Kersten yeah I found that Bluetooth is absolute ass but even with Spotify downloaded music with extreme quality has a slight white noise. Almost like static. I read it is because of the radio antenna interfering with it. I'm going to try to unplug it and see if that does anything
How well is the screen visible when the jeep is topless with the screen in full sun? Or have there been any scenarios where it is difficult to see the screen?
The screen can be slightly hard to see when topless but the brightness does auto adjust so it helps! The screen is glossy so it does glare sometimes! Thanks for watching!
FYI - Your camera link goes to Canon EOS Rebel T6i Digital SLR with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens + Slave Flash + 58mm Wide Angle and Telephoto Lenses + 32GB Deluxe Accessory Bundle
I have a smaller android stereo installed in my jeep like this and the audio level is different based on the source. For example, music from apple phone over bluetooth requires the audio turned up very high compared to the radio as a source. Does this head unit have any audio level issues like this?
Great Question, not really it is pretty consistent. Sometimes the radio is slight louder but it is definitely not a big difference. Thanks for watching!
Hey Dex, overall do you think it’s worth the price for what you are getting? I know the others are more expensive and do more, but overall regret it or happy with it?
I am definitely happy with it for the price. If this was a $3k headunit then it would be a different story but for $500, its a steal. Thanks for watching!! #jeepwave
Hi Dex I just got it installed and when making calls is comes up on my screen but I get absolutely no sound, nor do I get sound when I’m receiving a call do you have any idea what that maybe? Can you provide any guidance on how to attempt to fix the problem?
I'm confused what you mean by having to connect the head unit to Wifi or a hotspot to use the internet. So does that mean every time I want to use google on it, I would first have to connect it to my phone's personal hotspot?
I am overall happy with it. It is not the fastest boot up ever but not slow. The sound quality is great maybe slightly better than stock. Thanks for watching!
What is the boot up time from engine start to fully running ? And second, has it froze up or crashed on you yet ? Thanks. BTW. Great videos. I just installed a Gladiator grill on my 2017 Sport unlimited.
I can't think of what its called right now but ya know that compartment between the driver and passenger seat? The one you rest your elbows/arms on? Mine has a usb port in there (not sure if yours does too) and im curious if that usb port will still work with this new radio installed
Hey man I have it installed but I can’t get it to play music through my phone through the USB cables it came with. Does yours work with the USB? The only way Im able to play music from my phone is through Bluetooth.
Your channel is awesome you answers a lot of questions and cool things and add ons I would like to put on my Jeep in the near future but I was wondering what's a good alarm system for your Jeep I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and we're looking into buying an alarm system for it cuz somebody already tried to break into it and it would be a good investment if I'm put a lot fun toys in it and on it but we want a alarm system that were able to take the doors off and the top off and still have the alarm on and working what alarm system do you recommend
+Anthony Ochoa Thanks for the comment Anthony! I never really looked into an alarm system cuz I guess he factory one is sufficient. Thanks for watching
Anthony Ochoa viper makes a great alarm system and you can add a "proximity sensor" or a motion detector (that works with and plugs into the alarm) so when the doors and top are off you still have security.
for this unit to run apple ui it would have to pay a licensing fee to Apple,which would bring the price up considerably . The android ui is pretty well free or very low cost so that is why it is android based.
Didn't the GPS cable that you plugged into the back of the unit have a big pod on the end of it with 3M tape on the back? How were you able to get the pod at the end of the GPS wire up through the driver's side A pillar? I just bought this unit and am a little confused with that.
I just bought 1gb kia sorento 10.1 inch screen. Do u think I should return it. It might run slow and laggy. I noticed all UA-camrs have 4gb model and there screen runs smoothly.
How long does this radio take to start up? I heard that it sits there displaying "android" for a while, and that it takes like 30 seconds to start up. That seems like a while to me, is that true?
Thanks for watching! It depends... It can take 5 seconds or 15 seconds. Sometimes it seems to have done an update and take a little longer but usually it starts right up. Thanks for watching!!
there should be a setting that put the until on sleep mode that will have an instant wakeup... some until you can have it on sleep for 24 hours before it shut itself off, if it shut itself off a cold boot would be about 20 to 30 second if you got a quad core cpu unit with 1 gb of ram btw if you are plannning to buy an android unit today look for the one that have an octa core cpu 2 gb of ram and 32 gb of memory
Anyone complaining about this not being apple, is like complaining the touch screen on your refrigerator isn't apple. Apple doesn't, and never will make anything like this.
Hi, I am from Germany and got. me a seicane 10.1 for Jeep. I have one problem, I can Not hear anything when I get or do a call. Can you help me? Thanks
Hi buddy. Just wanted to check in with you to see if you're still happy with the screen? Are you still using it or did you switch back to the uConnect? Thanks. //K.
i was going to make a comment about how much better android is than apple but I see the comments below and it looks like the topic has been well covered.
Nice job on this review! Frankly, I was a little skeptical how detailed you'd be, but this is great. Can you clarify, is this on Android 5 or 6? Seems to be advertised as "on the latest Android 6.0" but there's been some feedback that it isn't. And have you seen updates to the OS since you've had it? Thanks again.
Thanks for the follow up! As asked before, what version of android did it come with? Site states 6.0, but some have said it comes with some variation of 5.0 Definitely going to order, now. You helped a ton.
Thanks for the comment Chris, doesn't affect them at all. No need to remove them. Make sure you get the correct unit associated with your year jeep! Thanks for watching!!
Hello I would like to know if the unit that you have is the Seicane 10.1" unit because I sent them an email and this radio does not have a SD slot on the side . Also I know this unit has a RCA plug for the sub woofer but my jeep 2016 rubicon has the alpine system with sub woofer in the rear floor and the plug has no RCA plug will the woofer that I have plug into on of the plugs on the unit
the sd card can be use by getting a cheap $5 adapter to your usb port...but why do that, you can connect a 2 terabyte hard to the usb port and have your entire DVD collection in your jeep while you out camping...
Dex, thanks for the review. I know you said the volume and the skip work but the you weren't sure of the uconnect system, does that mean that I can not make hands free calls from the steering wheel? Also, while this is a steel for 500, would you recommend getting this or would you say save some money and get something different?
Thanks for the comment John, the steering wheels control work so I must assume the call buttons would work but idk cuz I never had U connect. It all depends on what you are looking for. For me this system was a big upgrade and worth the $500. Thanks for watching!!
What is the brand of this unit? I watched your install of the seicane unit sometime ago. Whatever happened to that unit. Did it fail, if it did what happened because I was going to purchase that brand for my Rubicon.
Is that the vector off road dash bar on the dash ? And I’m thinking of getting it but that’s my worry is that it won’t work but I see you got one , did you have to modify it ?
Subscribed! Also, does Apple Music work with the USB your threaded? My current head unit can play through the USB and it results in better sound. Thanks!
Well Dex, I’m afraid you let me down. If this is the seicane unit, mine is crap. It looks awesome but it freezes up, won’t run sound thru my phone calls so my hands free doesn’t work. The customer service is problematic with time difference but that’s expected, however their only answer was to download an update of which the head unit will not read...so no update for me. Waiting for a refund but only after they receive it via snail mail.
Have watched a few reviews so far and others have had issues after awhile. It’s been 2 years since this video... does the unit still function properly?
My AM channels don't work. I have been going back and forth with the China company for 3 weeks. There were two antenna looking plugs (one white and one brownish/green color). I hooked up the white one. Would that have anything to do with my AM channels?
Thanks for the comment Bob! Sorry I really can't help you with troubleshooting without seeing the unit itself. My best bet would be to communicate with the manufacturer! Sorry! Thanks for watching!!
I noticed the same thing too, though I didn't really listen to AM but knowing it's there makes me sleep well at night :) in this case, it doesn't work, found only one station.
I did the white too.... I had pulled my radio apart about 4 times because of the gps antenna, I finally said forget it. I didn't want to pull it out again to try the brown antenna. Lol
Question I can't figure out, I bought one for my wife's Jeep and the only way I could make the GPS to work is to hotspot her phone to it to work is this the only way?
I hope you guys enjoyed this Full Review video of the Touchscreen Display! Let me know what you think! Thanks for watching! #jeepwave

Yeah, I completely understand! Thanks for watching!
You don't need it, you can play xm from their app on your phone, and play it through Bluetooth! It's the exact same thing!
Any word on sound quality difference of stock sahara sub system after the install? Better or worse? Does the sub continue to function as it should?
It looks like Apple CarPlay now works with it. Is this true and have you tried it?
This is quite interesting. I wonder if there are more modern options. This is running an old version of Android.
Android vs iOS is like starting a war in the comments section. I've worked on development in both operating systems and my conclusion is: it doesn't matter what I think lol. Use what you like. 😂 😂
Thanks for the comment Logan. The Android and Apple Fan boys are out! Alpine makes a wicked system but it is $3k so........ lol
The unit looks amazing, and the options list is very good. That being said I have a feeling that it's gonna break down soon.
Thanks for your comment! I will let you guys know if anything breaks! Thanks for watching!
Any updates??
Great review, Dex! There is a big debate online right now about Dasaita vs Seicane. I think I am going to try Dasaita.
Thanks man! I am glad you found it helpful
thanks 🙏🏻 Everything you need to know. Answered everything I was wondering
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed!

If you install the S pod with the bluetooth module in it you could control it from this unit through the app. next mod maybe?
Great suggestion! Thanks for watching!! #jeepwave

Yes! Still very happy with it!
Hey Dex! Another great video, a few questions...
-Is this system compatible with my Apple IPhone?

Are you playing through bluetooth? The bluetooth is terrible but playing sound directly from the unit is good.

Off topic. Is your roof covered or painted black? I got my jeep yesterday and have ordered noise muffling padding but roof is cream/white.

if i download spotify on this screen.. can i download all my spotify music into the screen so when im off line i can hear it? without internet
Hi Dex, how would install this unit with clarion equalizer. What would the main output be. It is CVBS for main output.
Good review dude. Keep up the Jeep videos
+Imran Sahil Thanks bro!!
Is the screen with the roof off still visible if it’s sunny?
Haha the porn hub question. Good response man. That was golden!

for this unit to run apple ui it would have to pay a licensing fee to Apple,which would bring the price up considerably . The android ui is pretty well free or very low cost so that is why it is android based.
Do you still have this unit in your jeep? is it still holding up good? Do you still recommend this one or is there something newer?
Still have it, still love it!
can you show us how set up 2 cameras (front and rear) how to use them
I don't have a front camera but the rear camera is easy just plug it in. I have a whole tutorial on the channel. Thanks for watching!! #jeepwave
Will the blu tooth for the phone still work for making/receiving calls still work if your jeep didn’t have it before?
Yes, my jeep didn't have it and now I have bluetooth through this new head unit. Thanks for watching!
What launcher do you use? Just got mine in the mail works perfect but hate the layout and feel of it. It was preinstalled with launcher3 and it sucks.
Thanks for the comment Bruce. I actually just received the updated version so I will be doing another updated video! Stay tuned for that!
Love the head unit, I have a Pioneer like it. Hey did you ever pick a winner for the AdventureDex Alien sunshade?
Thanks for the comment Mike. No winner announced yet! Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!!
So i connected the bluetooth i can make calls but i cant hear them.but they can hear me did you have this problem?
There is any way to upgrade the 2014 dash tweeter to 2015 style???
I dont believe so!
Didn't the GPS cable that you plugged into the back of the unit have a big pod on the end of it with 3M tape on the back? How were you able to get the pod at the end of the GPS wire up through the driver's side A pillar? I just bought this unit and am a little confused with that.
I ran the GPS up the A pillar behind the plastic trim and left it at the height point away from any of the metal. Hope that helps!
AdventureDex and you were able to get the module at the end of the GPS cord up through the A pillar without a problem or having to remove it?
yeah just sneak the wire behind. Hope that helps!
I just bought 1gb kia sorento 10.1 inch screen. Do u think I should return it. It might run slow and laggy. I noticed all UA-camrs have 4gb model and there screen runs smoothly.
So when you say Sirius doesn't work, are you referring to the app or are you speaking of Sirius radio in general?
Sirius isn't included so you need a 3rd party app to run it. Thanks for watching!
Do the screen over heat when the Jeep is hot in the inside from the sun?
No, never had any issues with heating!

If Apple did build something like this, it would cost $2K+

This isn’t “made” by android.. it just runs android
idiot. this isn't made my android. it just runs an android os.

Anytime! Thanks for the support!
Hi, I am from Germany and got. me a seicane 10.1 for Jeep. I have one problem, I can Not hear anything when I get or do a call. Can you help me? Thanks

LOL Yes, my words were slightly taken out of context. I was referring to having an iPhone as my primary phone not in general. Thanks for watching!
Is there a way to reassign the bottom buttons, for instance so the music button opens Apple Music instead of the stock player?
Yes they can be changed!! Thanks for watching
AdventureDex any idea on how to do it? Or anywhere that I could find out how
In the setting there is a section for assigning the favorites bar.
Nice job on this review! Frankly, I was a little skeptical how detailed you'd be, but this is great. Can you clarify, is this on Android 5 or 6? Seems to be advertised as "on the latest Android 6.0" but there's been some feedback that it isn't. And have you seen updates to the OS since you've had it? Thanks again.
Let me finish watching the last half of the video...maybe I just haven't seen it yet.
Great Question. As far as I know it is 6.0. I have not had any updates that I am aware of. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the follow up! As asked before, what version of android did it come with? Site states 6.0, but some have said it comes with some variation of 5.0
Definitely going to order, now. You helped a ton.
Thanks Matthew, It should be 6.0. Thanks for watching!!
Just bought the same unit and I was just wondering where do you install the antenna for the GPS?
I ran it up the A pillar behind the plastic trim! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing
Can you make a video of adding a subwoofer and amp to it
+Versausage TV I Already have one bro, check the channel for the install video!!
how do these affect the tweeters/ speakers on the dashboard? do you have to uninstall them?
Thanks for the comment Chris, doesn't affect them at all. No need to remove them. Make sure you get the correct unit associated with your year jeep! Thanks for watching!!
I have 2 questions
1 how is the plastic quality ?
2 you know if works with high or low speed bus ?
+Joseph Vilchez Thanks for the comment. The plastic quality is good! I am not sure what your second question is... sorry
How is running android a con? Its more a personal preference than a con. Great review though thanx 👍
can you run more than one camera like a front and two other aux cameras?
Yes, you are able but I am not sure how. Thanks for watching!
I want that 10.5 and your camera
How is the screen dimming in complete darkness. Like being on a backroad w/o oncoming headlights. And unit not being a distraction light wise
It is not distracting if you use the auto dimming feature. I personally don't mind it. Thanks for watching!
Hi, great video. What are the setting options? Can you adjust brightness?
Thanks for the honest review
+The Bearded Jeeper Thanks!!
Great video, were you able to figure out if the original uconnect bluetooth works with this radio?
Did you have any issues reinstalling the Rugged Ridge mounting system after the stereo instal?
Hey Dex i got the Unit, everything is good but the wifi speed at 5mb per second, you have this problem?
Sorry I dont have the problem. Thanks for watching!
How has this held up over the 9 or so months? Looking for a similar product
Still working great!
Can you show how you ran and use the usb ports in the glove box?
The glove box simple pulls out and there is plenty room to access wires behind. Thanks for watching!
Hello I would like to know if the unit that you have is the Seicane 10.1" unit because I sent them an email and this radio does not have a SD slot on the side . Also I know this unit has a RCA plug for the sub woofer but my jeep 2016 rubicon has the alpine
system with sub woofer in the rear floor and the plug has no RCA plug will the woofer that I have plug into on of the plugs on the unit
Thanks for the comment. I have the 10.1" and it doesn't have a SD slot. Thanks for watching!
can you help me on the sub woofer issue do you know anyone who might know if the sub woofer plug will plug into this head
+Douglas t Thanks for the comment Douglas! I will be doing a sub installation video soon!
the sd card can be use by getting a cheap $5 adapter to your usb port...but why do that, you can connect a 2 terabyte hard to the usb port and have your entire DVD collection in your jeep while you out camping...
Dex, thanks for the review. I know you said the volume and the skip work but the you weren't sure of the uconnect system, does that mean that I can not make hands free calls from the steering wheel? Also, while this is a steel for 500, would you recommend getting this or would you say save some money and get something different?
Thanks for the comment John, the steering wheels control work so I must assume the call buttons would work but idk cuz I never had U connect. It all depends on what you are looking for. For me this system was a big upgrade and worth the $500. Thanks for watching!!
The call button on the wheel works, it'd make calls via Bluetooth to your phone as Uconnet does. That's the first thing I tested.
I just ordered the one with android 7 on it so fingers crossed
Great video. Is this product also available for right hand drive JK's? - we drive on the wrong side of the road in Australia!
Thanks Steve! I am not 100% sure, sorry! Thanks for watching!!
What is the brand of this unit? I watched your install of the seicane unit sometime ago. Whatever happened to that unit. Did it fail, if it did what happened because I was going to purchase that brand for my Rubicon.
Is that the vector off road dash bar on the dash ? And I’m thinking of getting it but that’s my worry is that it won’t work but I see you got one , did you have to modify it ?
Subscribed! Also, does Apple Music work with the USB your threaded? My current head unit can play through the USB and it results in better sound. Thanks!
Thanks for joining the team Austin! Apple Music works through bluetooth. The bluetooth works great, no issue with sound quality! Thanks for watching!!
AdventureDex can it also be played through USB instead of Bluetooth. Direct from USB to iPhone?
Great, question. I am not 100% sure as I have never tried. Let me get back to you on that one.
Great Video Dex, what unit do you recommend that does have Apple play?
Nope! Thanks for watching!! #jeepwave
how much did this affect the center mount for the vector e dock?
I'm new to Jeeps.
If I went mudding with doors closed and a hard top, could I get water damage on the head unit?
No the head unit is pretty water resistant, I’ve got mine soaking wet before!!
Did you have to pay an internet provider monthly for the Wi-Fi
Well Dex, I’m afraid you let me down. If this is the seicane unit, mine is crap. It looks awesome but it freezes up, won’t run sound thru my phone calls so my hands free doesn’t work. The customer service is problematic with time difference but that’s expected, however their only answer was to download an update of which the head unit will not read...so no update for me. Waiting for a refund but only after they receive it via snail mail.
Dex, do you have the unit and have you had any trouble from it?
Have watched a few reviews so far and others have had issues after awhile. It’s been 2 years since this video... does the unit still function properly?
My AM channels don't work. I have been going back and forth with the China company for 3 weeks. There were two antenna looking plugs (one white and one brownish/green color). I hooked up the white one. Would that have anything to do with my AM channels?
Thanks for the comment Bob! Sorry I really can't help you with troubleshooting without seeing the unit itself. My best bet would be to communicate with the manufacturer! Sorry! Thanks for watching!!
I noticed the same thing too, though I didn't really listen to AM but knowing it's there makes me sleep well at night :) in this case, it doesn't work, found only one station.
Vu Nguyen what year is your Jeep? Did you connect the white antenna or the brownish/green antenna to the radio?
2014 Sahara. I connected the white antena; maybe the brown was XM Radio?
I did the white too.... I had pulled my radio apart about 4 times because of the gps antenna, I finally said forget it. I didn't want to pull it out again to try the brown antenna. Lol
Question I can't figure out, I bought one for my wife's Jeep and the only way I could make the GPS to work is to hotspot her phone to it to work is this the only way?
Thank you Sir for such great video. One question if I may:
Does it have a slot for mobile Sim card?
Thank you for your time....
Thanks for the comment! This model doesn't but I do believe they make one!
AdventureDex Much obliged, Sir. If it came to your knowledge; could you please let us know?
Thank you greatly, Sir 😊
Will do! Thanks!
