Hi guys! I'm still recording Part 2 If you can't wait i'll give you a low down what I discovered so far here (most in comparison to my AINAVI unit): the ultra wide screen is really reminiscent of a BMW style hud which is pretty sleek imo, connecting to Android Auto from startup is faster, external microphone call quality is vastly superior to AINAVI (which was a major sticking point for a lot of people). This probably due to a better sound chipset - the difference is quite noticeable (I'm even not a hardcore sound guy). Online support is sooo much better (its not just limited to AliExpress Chat). The only things that could be improved so far would be a physical home / back button and support for 12-pin 360 cams (does support 10-pin). The G13 is reasonably priced a bit more than AINAVI. Would have liked the G13 listed on Amazon. CA too for us Canadians. Wanted to give some options aside from the H5/H6 unit. They're both different beasts in their own right. Cheers
This gives me hope for a newer Camry stereo replacement. Your Corolla radio looks exactly like the one in my '23 Camry. Just hope any new stereos developed keep the knob. :D
I'm surprised! Do they still use the Entune software on the 2023 models? Yes I remember when I switched over the android units I really missed the knobs lol. Spamming the volume buttons don't have the same "turn up the sound" satisfaction 😁 Cheers
@@squishyhammer Yes, Toyota is still running the Enture software in their radios. It's so basic. :D I'm guessing the Corolla got this style radio/dash before the Camry refresh, hence the extreme similarities. I'm halfway tempted to see if my dash/radio disassembles the same way yours did. I'll probably do that when I add an amp soon, which may turn into a stereo replacement too if there's a suitable Android replacement by then.
oooh man. I love my AINavi unit i bought cause of your original video. I do still have issues with it here and there, mainly with the can bus. And that is certainly a higher quality looking, non hi-world canbus. Do you think its worth 600 bucks if i already have the AI navi? Can the g13 legitimately do anything the AI navi models cannot?
Hey! I would say functionality wise both are quite equal right now. I'm currently testing it all out. Performance wise the edge would definitely go to the G13 - my H5/H6 is slightly older in terms of software/hardware spec but man the Android Auto loads insanely faster on the G13 which WOWed me literally... My AINAVI would 25% of the times stall and I would have to reconnect BT to get AA to launch. I would give the user interface edge to AINAVI since I find the nav more consistent especially having a physical back or home button, which I'm finding on the G13 requires a swipe down the nav bar first which I'm finding a bit tedious - but outside of testing I usually wouldn't be swapping in and out of apps as often as I am now so I digress. What really is standing out for me on the G13 in comparison (and I eluded in my pinned comment) is the call/sound quality (which is really positive in my testing so far), support is also 100X better with Dasaita, and as you and I both know, AINAVI only has the one platform to communicate on and pretty much spotty assistance unfortunately... This would probably be the defacto reason to go for the DASAITA G13 in your case. Surprisingly I'm actually likin the wide screen format too as it feels more "natural" and "unobtrusive" which initially pushed me to review something that was distinctly different. I'll probably explain my feelings fully in the next video lol. But if anything above is currently a priority for you then its worth the immediate update. I'm still pretty much happy with my H5/H6 too, it really comes down to personal preference now. Since you're already enjoying the AINAVI as well (semi-working?), maybe just wait for the next gen updates to make another leap.

So detailed and helpful thanks!!!
I'm looking to fit this to my 2020 Corolla in the uk , looks great
Ah man this is very informative, waiting for the second part
Thanks! Hope to have it out soon, there's a lot to still go through! Cheers

Well I'll be darned.....looks like Joying has a HU for my Camry. WITH A KNOB!!!! :D
@@bgnPrinceton Wow! 😁Ask and you shall receive! Looks like you'll be tearing up your Camry earlier than expected lol

@@squishyhammer thank you for the really thoughtful and long response I really appreciate your input on this my Corolla is my baby
