This is a generic radio with an added brand of JoyBring 7" double din bluetooth radio with native CarPlay. This radio includes a shorter double din chassis design to fit in small dash cavities and features Bluetooth, USB, AUX, and more.

Will this work wireless as well ? Without the cable
@@DreMullenMusic not out of the box.

Will one of those Carlink wireless adapter deals work via usb?
@@chaosiscandytome I wouldn't plan on it...
Hey just got it for my sis thanks
I wish they would make a display feature to allow switching between rows of 5 versus rows of 4 apps.
Good review
Watched and loved your 2 video on where you installed the Sony radio replacement for a 2010 Toyota highlander Base and the backup camera. What harness would you use if you wanted a less expensive radio (vs the Sony) and the 2008 highlander.
Very knowledgeable, Thx!!
Wish tactile buttons were more prevalent
Hi looks really cool ,but will it fit into my mondeo zerec mk4 on a ten plate in the UK thanks Tony ?
How would you add a dash cam unit? Or do you have a recommendation for a budget radio with dash cam and backup camera?
Does wireless Apple CarPlay adapter work with it!
Was given av inputs instead of wires for speakers on my after market harness , not sure what to do
How do these sound with a sound system?
the backup camera does not work. i hooked it up to my reverse light and still says no signal.
I bought and installed the exactly same radio and i am very pleased with it so far. I didn't even have to even buy the Steering wheel adapter and used the 2 steering wheels Input wires from the radio so it was quite easy. The only problem i noticed is that after the install, my VIPER auto start would not start and light would blink 8 times so i have to figure this out what wire needs to connected. I have 2014 KIA Sorento 3.3
Is it still working out good?
@@Trey-Truelove yes still good
You recommend one budget friendly and one you can netflix , you tube and wireless carplay?
Does this system closes the radio or bt if we switch to home screen?
Great Video. Good content. Lousy product. Make sure you buy the asurian insurance. I had to return my radio after 3 months. It’s really crap. Too many bugs. I would stop to fuel up and leave my phone plugged in after restarting my vehicle the radio would be locked. Sometimes the radio wouldn’t even turn off after shutting the vehicle off and it would literally stay locked all night long I would have to pull the fuse to reset it. Out of the box and installed in my vehicle. The display was really really highlighted and I couldn’t adjusted to get a good color. I have a Bose system in my truck and after installing this radio the music sounded muffled. I’m glad I bought the insurance. Buyers be aware.
Can you please let us know accessories needed to install in 99-02 Sierra/Silverado?
Having trouble finding the kit that came with the Sony in your previous video. Thanks! Your videos are fantastic, relatively new sub here.
Sure, all parts are linked in the description of that video we used. Everything should be there that we used. Hopefully that helps!
I’m doing this right now haha you will need a new dash kit
@@tallasbatchelor2187 You ever install it bro? How does it sound speaker wise?
I wanted to thank you guys for the excellent videos for budget stereo options! What is the best wireless Apple CarPlay stereo in that budget category? You guys have tested? Maybe I just haven’t found that video yet? Thank you again for the awesome info!
So far, the best non-branded Android based radio with wireless carplay has been the Atoto F7: amzn.to/3HhFlSy
No video yet, but one soon to come!
@@ProvoBeastAudioany updates on a upcoming video on it? I’m looking for the best wireless CarPlay for my 2004 Toyota 4Runner that I recently just bought! Btw awesome videos! Keep up the good work!!!
@@beaaron3911 They last about a year! If you want something better, go brand name. For wireless carplay, Boss makes a budget unit here: amzn.to/465XTku
@@ProvoBeastAudio These stereos only last a year? Including the Atoto?
I bought this Sjoybring stereo and it’s arriving tomorrow as a starter carplay one for my Malibu, I really hope it lasts a while lol
@@raider4394I hope you got the extended warranty (only 10.99 on eBay where I bought the radio brand new for $58.00) because the touch screen does not respond after a few months.
How do you install? Putting in on 1999 toyota 4runner and keep seeing flashes of the logo and the buttons occasionally lighting up but no success in actually connecting it/being able to do anything. Please give any suggestions or help is needed.
Gracias por compartir este video, estoy por adquirir este reproductor, pero quiero conocer por favor, si tiene ventilador para extraer el calor de la unidad, saludos desde Venezuela
can you mirror your screen from you phone ( android ) ?
For some reason when I turn car of radio stays on 😢 please help
Thanks for great video! Do you think it will fit on Hyundai Tucson 2006?
Fits in any vehicle that takes a double din sized head unit (4" high).
Will this fit/work in a 2016 Tacoma?

This is great, thanks.
Anyone know if my rear camera that displays in my rear view mirror will be disturbed by installing this?
If you wire it separately, then it will not be disturbed.
Thank you for a great review. I bought and installed one after watching this video. I do have an issue with volume control while using a carplay, it is really loud even at Level 1 and I cannot make it quieter. Same issue exists while listening to the FM radio. But once I use Bluetooth as a connection method, I can control the sound in more precise way from really low to high. Any idea on what can be an issue? Thank you.
Not sure, i'd contact the manufacture / seller for more guidance.
Ask for firmware update. There are 2. Fixed volume and station scanning for me
How do you install? Putting in on 1999 toyota 4runner and keep seeing flashes of the logo and the buttons occasionally lighting up but no success in actually connecting it/being able to do anything. Please give any suggestions or help is needed.
When you installed it did you level out the amp and volume before unplugging the original system
@@thehighercalling943 No I have not done it. Actually this problem only occurs when I listen Spotify via CarPlay, but everything works just fine when I just connect my phone via bluetooth.
Can I hook up a preamp eq
What dash kit do I need for a 2016 dodge grand caravan ? This radio is perfect for me.

Do you know if I need any other wiring to install in a 2018 Kia Sorento? Thanks!
you will need the stereo wiring harness that adapts to the factory wires in your vehicle. look up “metra stereo wiring harness 18 sorento”, should be like $10
Great video brother. Btw do you know if this radio is compatible with the galaxy s22? TIA
Phone compatibility won’t matter too much. If it has android auto you won’t have any issues.
@@96alexmr thanks boss, I'll give it a try.
@@SubBoss well the mirror works and Bluetooth but the not the android play
Great video thank you - I must have missed something where exactly is the link to the radio ?
Description
Do you know if the video out will just duplicate of the screen? All the units I look at do that. Not helpful when you want navigation in the front and to play a movie for the kids in the back
Yes just duplicates the screen. You need to go to a higher brand and quality for anything different.
Will it fit into a 2003 bmw 325i?
here is a warning, DO NOT do a factory reset, the radio will delete things. my pre installed navigation system with maps was gone after i did a factory reset.
Thanks for the heads up Momma
No your momma
@@YoMommaSoFatt1 yo yo yo!
That’s what a factory reset is, resets everything to how it would come out fresh of the product line
How did u re program it ??
Can you put this in a 2007 Toyota Matrix??
Will this work with a 2003 Toyota Camry?
Is there any specific setting that needs to be on before the apple car play works?
I connected my charger to the USB port and its doesn't connect the Apple Car play... Stuck at the QR Code window
Press the "Phone" button (above the number 3) on the remote.
How do you adjust the brightness? the unit seems to only adjust brightness of color
In the display setting, there is brightness, contrast and hue.
Could I install a 360 camera to this radio, or do you know of an after-market radio I can get to add a 360 camera?
360 cameras are not single cameras, they are multiple cameras with each camera's image rendered together to create a 360 degree image. No, this no name brand unit will not support that. There isn't a brand name radio yet that allows you to add a 360 camera if your vehicle wasn't equipped with it previously.
Do you have any videos of you doing the wiring?
Yes on our channel - how to wire up an aftermarket radio
How many watts/channels is this? 50x4? Great video. I think I will get one!! How does it sound?
It's peak power, realistically you want to look at RMS power, and these no-name brands will do between 10-15 watts per channel RMS each, not much better than stock. Sounds pretty good.
@@ProvoBeastAudio thanks for the reply.
internet simcard support?
Hello I have one of these units how do you boost the volume I turn the volume all the way up it sounds low still is there a default or something that has to be turned on on the unit
External amplifier. That’s the issue you will run into with these android non brand radios.
What cord would I need if I want to keep my factory camera on Nissan Altima 2015?
If your Nissan didn't originally come with factory NAV, then this harness adapter is what you need to retain the factory camera: amzn.to/3k4nebj
Do these last inside a hot car in Texas?
Is it possible to re-route that USB without opening the device up?
My 2016 Elantra has a USB data port for the current radio, but it is a pretty basic radio and I'd like to replace it. I want to wire that USB to the new radio, but it looks like I might have to crack it open and do some soldering if I got this unit.
I'd strongly recommend going with a budget Brand name unit, like a boss if budget is a concern. they have the USB ports on the rear and a decent warranty.
You mentioned carplay and you plugged your phone to the USB port. But you didn't show how mirror link works. Can you please help me? I don't know how to watch movies on my new stereo. Thanx in advance
11:45 he mentions that this is wired carplay not wireless unfortunately
Do you have a video on installing a aftermarket radio for a 2017 GMC Sierra? With a Android 10 in screen.
Nope we don't, but we also don't recommend the Android radios as they have very poor build quality.
Wanted to see how well it worked on android auto. :(
I bought one of these stereos, but I cant figure out how to connect the RCA jacks from a metra 70-8113 adapter to it to get th speakers to work. WOuld you happen to know where the RCA jacks would go connected to the back of the stereo? The unit powers on, the front and back cameras work, but no sound... Thanks.
I had to by-pass my OEM Subwoofer amp. not fun.
No android auto it just mirror the phone nice video
Can you use the controls from the wheel in a mitsubishi montero 2013?
With the correct adapters, yes.
How does it sound with a system installed does it push enough power
Audio is pretty average.
Did you ever install one in 2007 Range Rover
Does music stops when reversing with camera on this unit?
doesnt stop, but volume goes down very low. so you can see/hear whats going on around you while backing up. safety thing. expensive Carplay units do the same.
I find this so intimidating, I feel like I may get the wrong pieces or do something wrong some how lol is this really that hard ? Or am I over thinking this ?
I’m currently looking for an apple car play radio for my work truck and to be honest I think it looks pretty easy, I just don’t feel like spending $300+ on one
@@terpman6665 all this stuff is too expensive for the fact that they have alot of competition, competition seems to never work in the favor of the consumer at all
@@Fullrusher lmao I’m sorry what? Competition is why there are so many good products for you and I to choose from. Without competition, that is what’s called a monopoly. And monopoly’s will bend you over, and take your money whether you like it or not.
Wich one is the best to buy in your opinion?
If you are going for the no-name branded android based radio on the cheap, we have had the best success with this one. If you can afford it, try and go brand name like Pioneer, Sony, Kenwood, Alpine, etc. Much better quality.
Why does it have a built-in mic on the front AND a mic port on the back?
Quality you can expect from a no-name branded cheap Chinese radio lol.
Would this fit in an 07 impala??? I need to replace the stock stereo bad and I'm on a super tight budget!
Yep, with the right harness and adapters. If you send us a message on Facebook, we can send you the parts needed for the install.
@@ProvoBeastAudio do you offer pre wiring for a 2008 Jeep Liberty no steering controls ?
@@anguslean4058 Sure, send us a message on facebook and we can assist.
Anyone know if this will play nice with my 2006 Toyota Highlander? It has the original JBL system and some people have said I need to bypass it? I'm hoping that is inaccurate. Any help would be appreciated!
Sure, I can help you. Send me a message on our facebook page and I can show you what parts and harnesses are needed for your install.
This video is over 1 year old, so I'll ask; How do these units hold up over time? Looking in the comments below, one person had this radio get flaky after 3 months. Is that your experience?
Not great. You get what you pay for. If you want a brand budget unit for under 200, I’d go with boss here amzn.to/3HdfaNh
What would you say the best 2 din Apple car play radio under 200 bucks would be
amzn.to/3C5PQp8
What adapter would I need for steering wheel controls on a 2006 honda crv
We recommend the amzn.to/3AStI12. We have a great video how to on the channel about this. Check it out!

For this radio there are 2 steering wheel control wires, which one does the wire from the pac c4rad need to be hooked into?
Does it bring any joy?
Wonder if I could put this in a ram 1500 2014
Sure can with the right install parts.
How much $$ to install the radio and Backup camera?
About $100 with you local installer
@@K3VG979saved me the $100 did it myself It wasnt that difficult
how do i connect this unit to wireless carplay
It doesn’t have native wireless CarPlay.
Mine has no audio, what can I do it’s a 2002 pathfinder with a. Bose amp. I really need help please
Send us a message on Facebook and we can help.
I purchased one. Screen went black at 4 months. All I have now is audio but no display.
Yep, it's a gamble with these no name branded units. Sometimes you luck out and they last for longer than a year, other times you may get a lemon. I'd reach out to the manufacture for assistance.

Can you listen to the radio while using carplay? Also what car logos are available?
I’ll be ordering next week, I’ll let you know
@@dt1productions918 did you buy it ? Was it good
@@dt1productions918 how was it ?
Are there any wireless CarPlay with volume knob?
Volume knobs in themselves are becoming harder to find, and most brand name units have dropped the volume knob (except some entry level Sony units, but they won't have wireless carplay). The only potential there is a non-branded Chinese android unit that may have a volume knob and wireless carplay.
Alternatively, you can get a brand name carplay unit (Sony, Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, etc), and use a wireless dongle conversion adapter amzn.to/3j2sZWA
So it only has 2 RCA outs?
Can I hook up some subs to this?? Whats the reliability on it , I'm upgrading from the crappy single din dual player my Bluetooth lags after an hr of playing
Yes, it has a sub pre-out for an bass amp. Reliability can be hit and miss with any no-name non-branded unit from china. You get what you pay for in car audio.
Does it work on android auto?
Sure does.
Does carplay only work if you plug in your phone?
Yeppers
Does this radio have a amp build in .
Yes, all radio's will have some sort of built in amplifier in order to produce sound output for your speakers.
Quick question. Anyone installed one of these in an older pickup(2006 Silverado)? Curious if it fits well or what else I would need. Also, are there any issues getting the backup to work
Send us a message on facebook and we can send you all the links of parts needed for your Silverado.
i put it in my 2004 gmc denali, it fits perfectly with the dash kit
Hey I’m thinking about getting one for my 06 envoy Denali, what dash kit did u get? Do you still have steering wheel controls?
No camera analysis?
Only 1 subwoofer port? Weird everything I have purchased always had two L&R
It still does the output voltage through a mono rca port. Just put in an rca splitter and you will be fine.
i bought the same radio and i was told that i need to run a same 12 volt wire but did not tell me where to hook it up to i have a 2008 chevy silverado WT can you help me??? i brought the red wolf wire harness that has two male ends an one red wire
You need a smart harness. ua-cam.com/video/bpk1MkjqCZ8/v-deo.html
You can manually run wiring, but it’s not the right way to do it.
Does this fit 2016 ford fusion
With the correct install parts, yes. If you want help identifying what parts you need, send us a message on facebook.
What double din & wiring harness’s did you use? I have the JOY D008 & am wondering if I should go with scosche but can’t find the part #s. Thanks
Depends on the vehicle. Scosche harnesses are not great. Feel free to send us a message in Facebook and we can help you identify the right parts for you install.
Pioneer jack fits in the back. Any 3.5 jack can fit in it

Does it have UA-cam
Does it charge the phone while on carplay?
Yes it does 👌🏾
can these cheap units work Rv how can I play my dvd collection

No steering wheel controls?
Yes it’s compatible with them.
Can you watch videos on it? Like UA-cam?
Through the video input which will require an adapter. There is no digital stream option as mirror link doesn't work on the newest versions of android or IOS. ua-cam.com/video/r01ptWIlpOI/v-deo.html
Does this have actual gps or does that function run from your phone?
Nope, rendered from your phone, no native navigation.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I thought so. Most of these don't have AM for some reason.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I just found out that's the way most of these are. Not getting rid of my Garmin just yet. 👍
@@randall1959 True onboard nav is becoming less and less available, unless you spend money on a high end unit, or go with a no-name knockoff unit.
I bought this radio based on this review. Problem 1. At first, all it did was produce a whining sound that rose and lowered with the RPMs. The subwoofer amp was the problem so I bypassed it. Problem 2. My remote did not work. The battery goes in with positive side DOWN. Problem 3. Radio arrived with a cracked screen and touch screen would not work. While I waited for a replacement, I used the remote, but it is cumbersome at best. Just got the replacement, no cracked screen, but.... Problem 4. The touch screen does not work. Better to buy local for twice the price and THEY can take the f*cker in and out to replace it!!!! I will say the backup camera works well. Problem 5. If you plan to use Apple Car Play, buy the 3.5mm external mic, because built in mic SUCKS!!!!
Any recommendations for a Tesla style screen for lx 570 2010 ?
Here you go: ebay.us/sfeTRR
Can a amp work on this?
Yes, it has RCA pre-outs for an amplifier.
thanks bro!
Any videos of putting it in a 2003 f250?
Let me know if you find a video
You can't just open carpaly and push 1 single button and say "it works fine" haha. While you were dialoging, you should've been just pushing different buttons on carplay to acutally try it vs staring at the carplay homescreen. How to engage siri??
