I'm looking at one just now. Keep going back to the eonon q53 pro. I want something that will autoconnect to my phone, ideally have a memory which will go back to where the unit was when the car was switched off, have RDS, and ideally a couple of spare usb so I can add Dab and Tpms etc at a later date. And if possible fit right into a mk6 golf. What would you be going for if that was what you were looking for?
Awesome video!! Before I ask my question, let me just get the background explained quickly. I have a Volvo C30, it’s in the P1 group which includes the S40, V50 and C70. They all have the somewhat famous "waterfall" centre console. I am looking to install an Android head unit, but I'm new at this and trying to figure out what to get. I'm a mechanic, I'm confident that I can manage the physical installation. The biggest problem I'm facing is that I have automatic double climate control, and I need the temp settings to be displayed on the new head unit. All other information is either not nessesary to display (volume, fan speed), already on a different display (cruise control, door indicator), or is shown by little led indicator lights on the centre console (heated seats, automatic AC on/off, fan-blow direction etc.). I need an android head unit that can take input from the centre console control buttons and steeringwheel buttons for the menues and radio etc. I also want it to have its own sim, so that it can run (with internet) completely on its own. And it should be a crisp and quick 7" (double din). I mean, I have found a few options, but the only one that I know of that can display the climate control temp setting is the bluepower BLP-990 unit. However, this just overlays the old screen, which looks really (in my opinion), really bad. It kind of ruins the point of installing a new head unit. I also does not like how it is mounted, and I've read many mixed reviews on bluepower, mainly that their units are often faulty and their support/service is close to non existent. You seem to be an expert on the field, and additionally maybe someone viewing this video might be able to help. Thanks again for the video!
Another good video and full of information. I bought a Joying head unit and it was for a land cruiser 2012. The guy fitting it said the unit plugs were all wrong, emailed Joying and they asked for lots of pictures but they then sent me another box to sit on the main andriod unit and took it down to car audio fitter on friday and he is happy now. Was impressed that Joying support and help. They sent the extra unit at thier cost and have been really helpful. It is being fully fitted next week so I m hoping it is all going to work. The guy is dubious about the DAB radio USB stick but will give it a go. If it all works, I shall be sending Joying an email of thanks as they have been great trying to sort out and said if not happy they will refund me. Cant ask better than that.
Had my Joying headunit in my 2005 jazz for 6 months now and love it. People compliment how nice it looks and functional it is compared to their decade newer BMW's. You'll love it
An update, having paid a car audio guy £ 410 to fit the unit, nothing worked, the steering controls, DAB radio and GPS did not work, I was livid. Emailed Joying they said check the connections, so I pulled out the unit, found the fitter and connected it up all wrong. I put the wires as per Joyings instructions which fitted had, and hey presto it works, I just have to sort out the hazard flasher unit which needs changing not Joyings fault. All in all they are a good company and will not walk away from a problem, always happy to help. I am upset that the fitters work, but only problem that I still have is the DAB+ works but signal is poor. Anyone tried a splitter unit so it uses the ariel in the side wilndows of the back of the car ? I will say again Joying have been brilliant
I am impressed with your videos. This one is especially informative. I have been using an android unit for about 5 years now, and it only has 1gb of ram. Which is why I am working on upgrading. I must admit, the experience is crap without a lot of ram.
I just installed a Chinese android head unit recently and originally planned to use apple carplay with it. I eventually realised after a few days that it's so boring, so switched to using all the native android apps by tethering from my iphone, it's nice to hear you mention this @13:50 !
You Can Actually Change The DPI On Any Android Device (So You Could Set The DPI To A Lower Number) This Would Make Icons/Touch Areas Bigger & Ideal For Higher Res Screens. Without The Poor Low Resolution Scaling
I bought a teyes cc2 3yrs ago. Its been great and is still great. The stock launcher and associated canbus functionality is great. Recently i just needed a different look so i installed car launcher and hey it feels like new.
Thanks for bringing clarity to this subject as I am in process of trying to upgrade the head unit on my 2011 Venza and couldn't decide if one of the main big makers versus an Android unit. I mainly use my radio for XM/iPod/MP3s on cd or usb drive with occasional maps! I also want o try to install things myself since after all this time I might as well try some DIY for last few years I have this car.
I Got the New Android 11 Unit from Eonon for my Mazda 3 BL and it´s a good one. it has even wireless Android Auto. Also works directly with the stock bose system.
Bought a NaviFly unit, for my mercedes ml, had nothing but problems with it. I'll fitting trim, canbus doesn't recognise accurately the settings and as I later found out doesn't recognise the reversing camera. On the plus side google maps works well and the display is excellent (2k) but unable to control audio and telephone with original mercedes control panel. 😢
Help please! I’m thinking of getting the Xtrons Android 12 CIC for my BMW E91. The original head unit has got tire pressure monitoring built in…my question is, once i install my new head unit, will i still be able to monitor my tyre pressure as I can on the original bmw head unit? Hope someone can help me with this! 😊
I’m aware they Xtrons sells a tyre pressure monitoring system, but would i need to purchase this additionally, as my original BMW head unit is currently displaying it and wondering if I can use the old one?

Superb video. I was unlucky when I bought a Seicane Android head unit for my 2007 Accord. Right out of the box I had issues with the HVAC controls. As I read further many people were having issues with Chinese android HUs. That was a real downer in that the concept of a fully dash integrated Android head unit was great, but did not work for me. Thank you for pointing out trusted brands to consider.
ive ordered 2 different chinese radios for 2 different cars a few months before your video, if it existed before. Y had saved me many days/hours that ive spend for my research (with the same conclusion/results) ;)

Thanks for the video. I recently picked up a DASAITA I really like it. A bit of a learning curve and their support is abhorrent they try, but there’s usually two or three days in between them answering questions. I’ve also been struggling with call quality but overall it’s an amazing upgrade my car.
Had an Atoto A6 I paid about $250 for it. While not a total loss, it was pretty much unusable due to the MediaTek SoC (MT8127A) which was originally found in sub $50 tablets. The thing would overheat just downloading updates to the point it would stink up the car.
@@SaabUnleashed slow does't even begin to describe it. It was pretty much unusable for anything other than a radio and backup camera. As an android device, it had no use whatsoever. The sad part is many of the other components were of higher quality, not the best, but of much better quality, especially the display. But they skimped out on the most important component and tried to make up for it by overclocking it and adding a cheap pot metal heat sink to it.
I've had two joyings myself. First one had 2gb of ram and android 6. It was great but after about two years it got slow. But still worked fine. I wanted a bigger screen anyway so got one with 4gb and android 10. It was amazing. Very fast...great full hd screen. I alway recommend them. They work great. I'd steer clear of any 2gb models these days.
@@apmechanic7704 More RAM only helps if your applications need more RAM. If the apps you use do not need more memory, it is just extra cost. I only use my head unit for CarPlay, MP3, and Radio so 2GB has been fine for my use case.
@@ericl5973 there's slightly more to it. Background serviced run off the ram. In the earlier days 1gb was all you got and it would end up a crawl if you even attempted to run a dash cam and maps off it. 4gb is probably the safest bet. The 6gb version of the latest 512 processor remind me of drives from 2 to 3 years ago.
Okay, you answered a question for me. I bought an Atoto unit four years ago that didn't have Android Auto, and as I contemplated getting another Atoto for my newer car, I wondered what I'd been missing. Apparently nothing. I also prefer to have my phone mounted for Google Maps because I prefer the vertical display mounted higher on the dashboard while something entirely different is running on the head unit.
for my older car "terracan" . * it hasn't got steering controls. so i would like to install upto 2 non bt volume/mute dials, 1 in door/ 1 in centre. * the stereo location is low, so to have a screen there would take my eyes away from the road completely. So it's a shame i can't have a single din stereo, but have the touch screen on the top of my dash. almost tempted to try and modify one and extend the wire harness to the screen but i would bomb it.
I recently bought an ATOTO F7 head unit. I love the features and being able to use CarPlay and Android Auto. However I was extremely disappointed with sound quality. It replaced my aging Pioneer DVD/MP3 player. The ATOTO claims a 4x45W power output but it barely powers even the OEM speakers. The Pioneer sounds light years better and I regret so much buying the ATOTO for this single reason. If you care about sound quality stay away from Chinese brands or consider an external amplifier.
@@billjohnson3284 improve the quality better , also check if your android monitor with build in DSP , some device build in dsp , sound quality is much better
I was also awfully disappointed in my ATOTO head unit because the Bluetooth wouldn't connect and the Wifi wouldn't re-associate with the access point without me manually connecting it. Also the sound seemed like absolute crap from the RCAs! (Coming from Kenwood Excelon head unit) I severely disliked how the ATOTO sounded. Not only this but also the ATOTO OVERHEATED all the time! When I run the warm air from the A/C, the head unit would freeze up and slow down because the processor was too hot! Never buy ATOTO again! More like ATOILET
I can echo this experience. I bought a VW android unit that came with a wiring harness was already wired, so I tested it with the built in amp first. It sounded slightly better than my old Sony unit, but it was a little noisy at all volume levels and added distortion at loud levels. The unit also heated up a lot after a short test at max clean levels. So I chopped the speaker outputs on the harness and wired a cheap tramps ts400x4 to the line outputs. I cramed it right behind the android unit since they are so shallow. The taramps is so much quieter at all volume levels, and much louder. It pushes my stock speakers right to their limits with a nice clean signal. Reminds me of Pioneer units back in the day.
A huge plus for the major brands not mentioned is support. I am getting poor tech support from one of the “good” Android brands you mention and every communication takes a day or two due to time zones. Big brands have good support and usually have local support in your region
One question that has eluded me is which of these Android HU's allow me you summon Siri via the steering wheel voice button. I thought T'eyes did, then found that their FAQ explicitly mentioned that it does not. Could you please advise or make a video that maybe discusses some of foundational features, like mic performance, vehicle integration include all SWC buttons etc. Think that would be super valuable video. Thanks for making these videos!
Thank god for this video. I've been tryign to figure this al out myself and it's making me feel really lame. I'll be watching all the rest of your vids, thanks !!!!
I just installed an xtrons iqp12achlp head unit. It seems like it has a lot of potential. My only problem is I can only get my android auto to connect right. When I try to connect my xtron to my cell phones mobile hotspot, it keeps saying no internet access. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for making this vid. Chapters would be helpful! (The shortcuts to different video parts on the right hand side). Helps getting the video on Google Search results too.
I’ve seen some videos of yours, and just become a subscriber. Very good and clean information. As an e46 owner I’ve been reluctant to change my head unit… but now I’m going in for joying. And I’ll tell you, your videos were the input I need to make the decision. Thank you for your videos Cheers
I can’t get this to work in my steering wheel controls to work in my 2012 grand Cherokee at all…was told that it’s the same setting for a 2012 dodge Durango but I don’t see that vehicle listed either in the hikitty canbus
Wow, excellent video. I keep asking myself about just building a custom unit - 7" 1024x600 IPS screen $50 raspberry pi4 4gb $55 dsp module $5-$10, 256gb SSD $40, case $25 = $180 for a completely upgradable in dash solution - want a fast CPU? simply swap boards, you get the idea
Definitely a neat idea for sure, but there's certainly more to it when it comes to FM Radio, video input for rear camera, controls for the DSP module, etc- if you're a programmer with lots of time on your hands, wonderful! If not, man, it's going to be a messy project. I used to assemble car media systems using Centrafuse and Roadrunner software based on PC installation and it was a total blast because the very well-done software solutions for typical car stereo use was already done. Centrafuse Auto for Raspberry Pi today would be an absolutely killer project.
Makes sense if you don't mind spending the time. OpenAuto Pro is like $30 which seems like one of the better softwares for a car pi. You can also get an optical out for $25-50 to attach to the pi. You are also going to need to step down the voltage to the PI which runs off lower than 12v.
For older BMWs the i-bus USB-dongle and app (made by a German company) gives full control over onboard computer, steering wheel buttons as well as new features like DRL, cornering lights, automatic locking, welcome lights etc. Works perfectly with most Android units. I use an Xtrons myself in an older BMW X5.
@@ThatGuy-ur5cn Yes, the Resler i-bus USB dongle talks directly with the computer bus of BMWs and MINIs (not all models though) and can access almost anything in the car. The controling app is the one that gives all the new cool features. It's really a "must" if you have an Android head unit in an older BMW.

Looking for the following. 4GB RAM+, QLED, Wireless Android Auto/Carplay, Android 11+, Steering wheel controls and HD Radio. The rest is standard with all radios. Finding what I'm looking for, good luck. Industry is still trying to catch up. I think I found ONE on Ebay but non with HD Radio, don't know about the steering wheel controls though.
Hi Vlad, the version of Android is irrelevant and shouldn't be one of your requirements. Not sure what you mean by HD radio. If that means DAB (digital radio) then this can be added to any android radio, I have a video for that. All of the rest of the requirements you may find in this video ua-cam.com/video/Ty6BB59E_HY/v-deo.html
@@SaabUnleashed Tahnks for the update.. I'll check out that video. Finding that most Andorid radios require ODBC and add-ons to get all the features. Good to know.
Really insightful. I was wondering about some Head Units running Android as the OS vs supporting Android Auto - very clear now on what the difference is.
Would you happen to have a video on some of the tricks or changes in the software that can be made to improve it. Such as the microphone volume during a phonecall or screen brightness that doesn’t go low enough for night driving? I feel that the unit may have the ability to adjust these types of things, however it’s probably in a hidden area of the UI.
Hello, i'm glad having meet your video tutorial like as having searching some descriptions about actualy questions i have, i got an unbranded chinese head unit a few weeks ago and after doing anything i think i could run flawasly, that's not, all there seems to be restrited due the mean of makers/ sellers did it, even not able to link to ADB, well what make to write to you after watching your video, is, i bought that one due the proper fitting to my work van, a Peugeot bipper, that's i would liked making there replacement for the factory sound device that don't work anymore, my question, is there as you could know some one device of these brands you do tell in the video, that can have that kind of head unit that can fit on to the Peugeot Bipper ?
My idoing head unit for my 2020 STi has been amazing. Great support any issues within a day they message back. My pioneer was a nightmare to get support. Would I buy a chinese brand again absolutely.
How do you know how much the pre amp voltage is because I bought a xtrons head unit and it seems like it has a .5 to 1 volt out put. I have to turn my amp up 100% to get bass out and the amp is a 4800 watt amarican bass so no problem there!!
I have a Eunavi PX6 DSP Android 9 and the only problem I have with it is the boot time, every time I start my car I am on my way 3 minutes before the use is fully booted. I have installed a lot of software on it, like tomtom and Flitsmeister and also DVB-T, ADAS AI, Anydesk, Car Launcher and more. Maybe I have to remove some...but I rather don't like that ;-)
So, very pleased I have found your channel.... am learning so, much...thank you. I am in the process of trying to learn which head unit, Chinese or, better known brand will be best in my wonderful (but, old) Rover 75. You mentioned you fit head units...do you 'supply & fit' too?

@@billjohnson3284 If you have poor sound quality it can be down to numerous things. 1. What are you listening to? Is it FLAC? DAB? Low bit rate MP3? Over Bluetooth what? 2. It could be down to the onboard DAC. 3. What speakers have you got? Stock speakers? They are often cheap and nasty. 4. What car is it? A car is not an ideal place for HiFi, it's a metal box, speakers are not in ideal position, there may not be use of adequate sound insulation.
@@matthewnewell4517 That's true but it's really not that complicated... I heard how my car sounded with the oem system which I believe was Sony. Then I swapped it out for a xtron unit everything else being the same and the difference in sound quality is night and day. If it was for my van I wouldn't care less and would go for the features Chinese units offer... But if you care about the quality of your audio Mainstream brands like Kenwood Pioneer Alpine Sony etc are the only option and that's why they survive. Its true you get what you pay for.

I am looking at getting an android head unit for my jeep wrangler. The one I'm really leaning towards is stated as being plug and play, which would be amazing. I am curious though as to whether or not sirius xm radio would work with these units without having to install the app or buy a separate tuner for it. My jeep has sirius radio from the factory, so I'm not sure if I would need another tuner or not. I k ow the video is about 8 months old, so I'm unsure if my question will be answered. Thank you for any help.
Hey Marcus, I believe there is some kind of licencing issue which prevents these Android units from being able to utilise Sirius. You will lose this function if you install one. Stations will need to be streamed.

Awesome video!!
Before I ask my question, let me just get the background explained quickly. I have a Volvo C30, it’s in the P1 group which includes the S40, V50 and C70. They all have the somewhat famous "waterfall" centre console. I am looking to install an Android head unit, but I'm new at this and trying to figure out what to get. I'm a mechanic, I'm confident that I can manage the physical installation.
The biggest problem I'm facing is that I have automatic double climate control, and I need the temp settings to be displayed on the new head unit. All other information is either not nessesary to display (volume, fan speed), already on a different display (cruise control, door indicator), or is shown by little led indicator lights on the centre console (heated seats, automatic AC on/off, fan-blow direction etc.).
I need an android head unit that can take input from the centre console control buttons and steeringwheel buttons for the menues and radio etc.
I also want it to have its own sim, so that it can run (with internet) completely on its own.
And it should be a crisp and quick 7" (double din).
I mean, I have found a few options, but the only one that I know of that can display the climate control temp setting is the bluepower BLP-990 unit. However, this just overlays the old screen, which looks really (in my opinion), really bad. It kind of ruins the point of installing a new head unit. I also does not like how it is mounted, and I've read many mixed reviews on bluepower, mainly that their units are often faulty and their support/service is close to non existent.
You seem to be an expert on the field, and additionally maybe someone viewing this video might be able to help.

I put the wires as per Joyings instructions which fitted had, and hey presto it works, I just have to sort out the hazard flasher unit which needs changing not Joyings fault. All in all they are a good company and will not walk away from a problem, always happy to help. I am upset that the fitters work, but only problem that I still have is the DAB+ works but signal is poor. Anyone tried a splitter unit so it uses the ariel in the side wilndows of the back of the car ? I will say again Joying have been brilliant

One simple specification that I cannot seem to find anywhere on these Android head units is the RCA pre-out voltage..? (2.5, 4, 6?) Thanks 👍
I am impressed with your videos. This one is especially informative. I have been using an android unit for about 5 years now, and it only has 1gb of ram. Which is why I am working on upgrading. I must admit, the experience is crap without a lot of ram.
I just installed a Chinese android head unit recently and originally planned to use apple carplay with it. I eventually realised after a few days that it's so boring, so switched to using all the native android apps by tethering from my iphone, it's nice to hear you mention this @13:50 !
You Can Actually Change The DPI On Any Android Device (So You Could Set The DPI To A Lower Number) This Would Make Icons/Touch Areas Bigger & Ideal For Higher Res Screens. Without The Poor Low Resolution Scaling
I bought a teyes cc2 3yrs ago. Its been great and is still great. The stock launcher and associated canbus functionality is great. Recently i just needed a different look so i installed car launcher and hey it feels like new.
Thanks for bringing clarity to this subject as I am in process of trying to upgrade the head unit on my 2011 Venza and couldn't decide if one of the main big makers versus an Android unit. I mainly use my radio for XM/iPod/MP3s on cd or usb drive with occasional maps! I also want o try to install things myself since after all this time I might as well try some DIY for last few years I have this car.
Only 2 hours of video to discover Andriod auto vs built-in Google maps. Awesome video, very informative.
I Got the New Android 11 Unit from Eonon for my Mazda 3 BL and it´s a good one. it has even wireless Android Auto. Also works directly with the stock bose system.
Bought a NaviFly unit, for my mercedes ml, had nothing but problems with it. I'll fitting trim, canbus doesn't recognise accurately the settings and as I later found out doesn't recognise the reversing camera. On the plus side google maps works well and the display is excellent (2k) but unable to control audio and telephone with original mercedes control panel. 😢
Help please! I’m thinking of getting the Xtrons Android 12 CIC for my BMW E91. The original head unit has got tire pressure monitoring built in…my question is, once i install my new head unit, will i still be able to monitor my tyre pressure as I can on the original bmw head unit? Hope someone can help me with this! 😊
I’m aware they Xtrons sells a tyre pressure monitoring system, but would i need to purchase this additionally, as my original BMW head unit is currently displaying it and wondering if I can use the old one?

Superb video. I was unlucky when I bought a Seicane Android head unit for my 2007 Accord. Right out of the box I had issues with the HVAC controls. As I read further many people were having issues with Chinese android HUs. That was a real downer in that the concept of a fully dash integrated Android head unit was great, but did not work for me. Thank you for pointing out trusted brands to consider.
ive ordered 2 different chinese radios for 2 different cars a few months before your video, if it existed before. Y had saved me many days/hours that ive spend for my research (with the same conclusion/results) ;)
Awesome video!!
Before I ask my question, let me just get the background explained quickly. I have a Volvo C30, it’s in the P1 group which includes the S40, V50 and C70. They all have the somewhat famous "waterfall" centre console. I am looking to install an Android head unit, but I'm new at this and trying to figure out what to get. I'm a mechanic, I'm confident that I can manage the physical installation.
The biggest problem I'm facing is that I have automatic double climate control, and I need the temp settings to be displayed on the new head unit. All other information is either not nessesary to display (volume, fan speed), already on a different display (cruise control, door indicator), or is shown by little led indicator lights on the centre console (heated seats, automatic AC on/off, fan-blow direction etc.).
I need an android head unit that can take input from the centre console control buttons and steeringwheel buttons for the menues and radio etc.
I also want it to have its own sim, so that it can run (with internet) completely on its own.
And it should be a crisp and quick 7" (double din).
I mean, I have found a few options, but the only one that I know of that can display the climate control temp setting is the bluepower BLP-990 unit. However, this just overlays the old screen, which looks really (in my opinion), really bad. It kind of ruins the point of installing a new head unit. I also does not like how it is mounted, and I've read many mixed reviews on bluepower, mainly that their units are often faulty and their support/service is close to non existent.
You seem to be an expert on the field, and additionally maybe someone viewing this video might be able to help.
Thanks again for the video!
Thanks for the video. I recently picked up a DASAITA I really like it. A bit of a learning curve and their support is abhorrent they try, but there’s usually two or three days in between them answering questions. I’ve also been struggling with call quality but overall it’s an amazing upgrade my car.
Had an Atoto A6 I paid about $250 for it. While not a total loss, it was pretty much unusable due to the MediaTek SoC (MT8127A) which was originally found in sub $50 tablets. The thing would overheat just downloading updates to the point it would stink up the car.
Yes the original one was pretty slow
@@SaabUnleashed slow does't even begin to describe it. It was pretty much unusable for anything other than a radio and backup camera. As an android device, it had no use whatsoever. The sad part is many of the other components were of higher quality, not the best, but of much better quality, especially the display. But they skimped out on the most important component and tried to make up for it by overclocking it and adding a cheap pot metal heat sink to it.
@@SaabUnleashed out of all the hours of videos I've watched. No one says where you can buy them.. please help
@@rich8381 I leave links in each video description
Just had my pumpkin head unit delivered. Fingers crossed it isn't too bad.
Would be cool to see a comparison of the different specs/performance 2gb ram units vs 4gb ram vs 6b ram.
I've had two joyings myself. First one had 2gb of ram and android 6. It was great but after about two years it got slow. But still worked fine. I wanted a bigger screen anyway so got one with 4gb and android 10. It was amazing. Very fast...great full hd screen. I alway recommend them. They work great. I'd steer clear of any 2gb models these days.
Let me help u out because I can see u need it. 2g
100% agree that he needs a spreadsheet comparison breakdown
@@apmechanic7704 More RAM only helps if your applications need more RAM. If the apps you use do not need more memory, it is just extra cost. I only use my head unit for CarPlay, MP3, and Radio so 2GB has been fine for my use case.
@@ericl5973 there's slightly more to it. Background serviced run off the ram. In the earlier days 1gb was all you got and it would end up a crawl if you even attempted to run a dash cam and maps off it.
4gb is probably the safest bet. The 6gb version of the latest 512 processor remind me of drives from 2 to 3 years ago.
Okay, you answered a question for me. I bought an Atoto unit four years ago that didn't have Android Auto, and as I contemplated getting another Atoto for my newer car, I wondered what I'd been missing. Apparently nothing. I also prefer to have my phone mounted for Google Maps because I prefer the vertical display mounted higher on the dashboard while something entirely different is running on the head unit.
for my older car "terracan" .
* it hasn't got steering controls. so i would like to install upto 2 non bt volume/mute dials, 1 in door/ 1 in centre.
* the stereo location is low, so to have a screen there would take my eyes away from the road completely. So it's a shame i can't have a single din stereo, but have the touch screen on the top of my dash. almost tempted to try and modify one and extend the wire harness to the screen but i would bomb it.
I recently bought an ATOTO F7 head unit. I love the features and being able to use CarPlay and Android Auto. However I was extremely disappointed with sound quality. It replaced my aging Pioneer DVD/MP3 player. The ATOTO claims a 4x45W power output but it barely powers even the OEM speakers. The Pioneer sounds light years better and I regret so much buying the ATOTO for this single reason. If you care about sound quality stay away from Chinese brands or consider an external amplifier.
Better to add an amplifier device, since the sound ic cheap is not that good which compare with the oem device
@@ntaudios88 but will a aftermarket amp improve the quality or just make the poor quality louder?
@@billjohnson3284 improve the quality better , also check if your android monitor with build in DSP , some device build in dsp , sound quality is much better
I was also awfully disappointed in my ATOTO head unit because the Bluetooth wouldn't connect and the Wifi wouldn't re-associate with the access point without me manually connecting it. Also the sound seemed like absolute crap from the RCAs! (Coming from Kenwood Excelon head unit) I severely disliked how the ATOTO sounded.
Not only this but also the ATOTO OVERHEATED all the time! When I run the warm air from the A/C, the head unit would freeze up and slow down because the processor was too hot! Never buy ATOTO again! More like ATOILET
I can echo this experience. I bought a VW android unit that came with a wiring harness was already wired, so I tested it with the built in amp first. It sounded slightly better than my old Sony unit, but it was a little noisy at all volume levels and added distortion at loud levels. The unit also heated up a lot after a short test at max clean levels. So I chopped the speaker outputs on the harness and wired a cheap tramps ts400x4 to the line outputs. I cramed it right behind the android unit since they are so shallow. The taramps is so much quieter at all volume levels, and much louder. It pushes my stock speakers right to their limits with a nice clean signal. Reminds me of Pioneer units back in the day.
I jad a 78 Saab 99 back in the day. It was old when i bought it. The turbo still worked. Great on back roads!
Ive had 2 really cheap 25 quid ones in my vans including steering control and 50+w per chanel amp good vid
Any insight on eonon head units?
This was a really big help! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this vid.
Great video. Good background well explained. Thanks!
A huge plus for the major brands not mentioned is support. I am getting poor tech support from one of the “good” Android brands you mention and every communication takes a day or two due to time zones. Big brands have good support and usually have local support in your region
One question that has eluded me is which of these Android HU's allow me you summon Siri via the steering wheel voice button. I thought T'eyes did, then found that their FAQ explicitly mentioned that it does not. Could you please advise or make a video that maybe discusses some of foundational features, like mic performance, vehicle integration include all SWC buttons etc. Think that would be super valuable video. Thanks for making these videos!

Very good and clean information.

Thank you for your videos

I can’t get this to work in my steering wheel controls to work in my 2012 grand Cherokee at all…was told that it’s the same setting for a 2012 dodge Durango but I don’t see that vehicle listed either in the hikitty canbus
Wow, excellent video. I keep asking myself about just building a custom unit - 7" 1024x600 IPS screen $50 raspberry pi4 4gb $55 dsp module $5-$10, 256gb SSD $40, case $25 = $180 for a completely upgradable in dash solution - want a fast CPU? simply swap boards, you get the idea
Definitely a neat idea for sure, but there's certainly more to it when it comes to FM Radio, video input for rear camera, controls for the DSP module, etc- if you're a programmer with lots of time on your hands, wonderful! If not, man, it's going to be a messy project. I used to assemble car media systems using Centrafuse and Roadrunner software based on PC installation and it was a total blast because the very well-done software solutions for typical car stereo use was already done. Centrafuse Auto for Raspberry Pi today would be an absolutely killer project.
Makes sense if you don't mind spending the time. OpenAuto Pro is like $30 which seems like one of the better softwares for a car pi. You can also get an optical out for $25-50 to attach to the pi. You are also going to need to step down the voltage to the PI which runs off lower than 12v.
For older BMWs the i-bus USB-dongle and app (made by a German company) gives full control over onboard computer, steering wheel buttons as well as new features like DRL, cornering lights, automatic locking, welcome lights etc. Works perfectly with most Android units. I use an Xtrons myself in an older BMW X5.
This is very interesting information
Is this different functionality from a bluetooth OBD reader?
@@ThatGuy-ur5cn Yes, the Resler i-bus USB dongle talks directly with the computer bus of BMWs and MINIs (not all models though) and can access almost anything in the car. The controling app is the one that gives all the new cool features. It's really a "must" if you have an Android head unit in an older BMW.
I heard the audio isn’t good through the aux cables

Best regards,
Looking for the following. 4GB RAM+, QLED, Wireless Android Auto/Carplay, Android 11+, Steering wheel controls and HD Radio. The rest is standard with all radios. Finding what I'm looking for, good luck. Industry is still trying to catch up. I think I found ONE on Ebay but non with HD Radio, don't know about the steering wheel controls though.
Awsome video btw.. thank you very much. I own a Kenwood and I can say there are alot things missing and the cost is high.
Hi Vlad, the version of Android is irrelevant and shouldn't be one of your requirements. Not sure what you mean by HD radio. If that means DAB (digital radio) then this can be added to any android radio, I have a video for that. All of the rest of the requirements you may find in this video ua-cam.com/video/Ty6BB59E_HY/v-deo.html

Really insightful. I was wondering about some Head Units running Android as the OS vs supporting Android Auto - very clear now on what the difference is.
Would you happen to have a video on some of the tricks or changes in the software that can be made to improve it. Such as the microphone volume during a phonecall or screen brightness that doesn’t go low enough for night driving? I feel that the unit may have the ability to adjust these types of things, however it’s probably in a hidden area of the UI.
Hello, i'm glad having meet your video tutorial like as having searching some descriptions about actualy questions i have, i got an unbranded chinese head unit a few weeks ago and after doing anything i think i could run flawasly, that's not, all there seems to be restrited due the mean of makers/ sellers did it, even not able to link to ADB, well what make to write to you after watching your video, is, i bought that one due the proper fitting to my work van, a Peugeot bipper, that's i would liked making there replacement for the factory sound device that don't work anymore, my question, is there as you could know some one device of these brands you do tell in the video, that can have that kind of head unit that can fit on to the Peugeot Bipper ?
My idoing head unit for my 2020 STi has been amazing. Great support any issues within a day they message back. My pioneer was a nightmare to get support. Would I buy a chinese brand again absolutely.

Thanks for the video. I literally cancelled a chinese unit and bought a Pioneer headunit.
How do you know how much the pre amp voltage is because I bought a xtrons head unit and it seems like it has a .5 to 1 volt out put. I have to turn my amp up 100% to get bass out and the amp is a 4800 watt amarican bass so no problem there!!
Have you ever reviewed or tried a EUBUY for 2015 Corolla?

Hey Marcus, I believe there is some kind of licencing issue which prevents these Android units from being able to utilise Sirius. You will lose this function if you install one. Stations will need to be streamed.
