I have one of this myself, decided to get the AHD cameras for the front and back and have the front triggered with mode like you do. Honestly, AHD cameras look so good with these head units as they support them it’s basically crisp. I find it useful when parking at night at dimly lit places
Yeah I agree this head unit makes the cameras look really crisp!
Where did you get your cameras from???
@@LacedRhymes AliExpress, mine is a 1080p AHD camera for the back and 720p for the front. You’ll have to set the resolution to 720/1080p on your android player to get it to work!
I ordered mine from eBay.
@@DawnVengeanceX ok and do they have one for iPhone??? I use apple more lol
You should do step by step how to wire it and not just do it at a fast paste. You talk about it but we need the step by step
Sorry if it wasn’t detailed enough, I try to make them as detailed as possible, without making the video to long or boring. And this video was almost 30 minutes, so I did have to cut some things.
But if you have any questions with the installation, just ask and I will help out!
For the USB routing, you could have someone 3D print a bracket for your car. There's several STLs I've found.
That’s actually a good idea, because the USB’s are always rattling in the glove box, maybe I might do that!
@@BrandonStellmach I think this one might work, since it's a double cable: www.printables.com/model/223573-usb-switch-hole-cover-for-toyota-yaris
Thanks for finding that, I was literally just looking for something. I actually have a 3D printer. So I might give this a try and see how well it comes out!
@@BrandonStellmach Nice. I'm going to order a print from Shapeways whenever/if I upgrade from my Kenwood single DIN to a double.
how did you get your steering wheel buttons to work man you never posted a video about it, when you installed your steering wheel the buttons didn't work and you said you would make a video about it, can't find it and im super sad
Love your tutorials man!
You forgot the links btw 🤣
Thank you!! 🙏
And I just updated them, I am really bad at forgetting the links.
@@BrandonStellmach hey no biggie! It’s awesome I bought the other head unit you recommended and I’m definitely upgrading to this one!
@@mauriceedwards9676 yeah the other one I had, was a good budget one. And still worked great, but this one is much nicer quality, worth the extra money!
Good video. My guess with your reverse is it's not being triggered on the radio. Look for a rev cable on the head unit and the reverse camera retention harness should have an RCA and a signal cable that triggering the reverse on the radio. From looking at you crimping the harness I'd say do the touch test with the bare wire while the car is in reverse, also do it while the car is on some cars are weird like that. Or try an alternative reverse trigger to the head unit.
Thank you!!
And I did figure out the backup camera, I didn’t have the plug in the radio pushed all the way into it. After I unplugged and plugged it back in, the camera started to show up.
@locorudy626 @brandon stellmach How do these head units know when the car is in reverse? Is the connection for the reverse camera the same whether the Corolla is a manual or an automatic? I have a manual.
@@rtong12 does your car come with factory backup camera?
You splice your backup camera power wire into the reverse light. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a manual or a auto.
Thanks for another great video Brandon! I was using a 8 inch winCE DVD radio in my 09 Corolla which worked great but I wanted apple carplay so I now have the binize that you had but the sound quality is so low compared to the WinCE radio. You mentioned the sound quality on this radio is way better. If you could compare both radios at max volume, would you say it would be worth it for me to invest in this?
The radio is much nicer quality with the sound. But I wouldn’t say it’s worth the upgrade if you are just wanting much better audio quality. I can say it is a much better and faster unit all around. With a nicer screen and wireless Apple CarPlay. But if your looking for just audio quality I wouldn’t say it’s worth the double the cost!
But all the other things I would say it’s worth the extra money!
Love the wireless CarPlay on this, I have one myself 😉
Totally agree! The best feature! 👍
Great review Brandon! The wireless apple carplay is such an enticing feature! I noticed that when I purchased a wireless carplay dongle, there would be a delay in audio when switching tracks on Carplay. Does the same thing happen with this radio unit?
Yeah that is what’s really nice about this unit. My old unit I was using the apple CarPlay dongle, with a wireless adapter. So I needed 2 adapters just for wireless CarPlay. So when switching songs there was about a 3-5 second delay. This radio is instant on everything you do. Wether you want to change the song. Switch apps or turn the volume up or down. There is no delay, it’s just like a stock head unit.
This is a nice looking radio!
I agree! Very nice radio and a good upgrade too!
Were you able to get your steering wheel button for voice assistant to trigger Siri? When I press it it will trigger the google assistant, but not Siri.
Yeah I was having the same problem, I’m not sure if there is other settings somewhere in the CarPlay app. I looked but I didn’t, but only for a minute. I will definitely look into it more to see if I can find a way to get it to work with Siri!
@@BrandonStellmach I was able to get this working! In the steering wheel settings there is another option. Instead of using the voice control option, use the Bluetooth Mic option. It your video at 20:25 you can see it in the bottom row, third from the left. Once I switched it worked right away. Thanks for this install video, it helped me a lot!
@@slimgrady187 awesome! I just changed mine too! Now it works with Siri!
I bought one from Ebay and my steering wheel controls dont work with it, they arent compatible.
I was thinking of buying an adaptor or maybe getting a unit like yours. What would you recommend?
I had a cheaper head unit from Amazon and the steering wheel controls didn’t work either. But I upgraded to this radio and got my steering wheel controls to work!
Well buying an adapter and splicing it into the stock harness would be much cheaper. But most likely isn’t going to be plug and play. While the radio is more expensive and plug and play.
Great video!! Could you tell me if it works for a 2009 Toyota Corolla?
Yes this will work because my corolla is a 2009!
I also have an 09 Corolla. I was wondering if you can order without the backup camera?
You just jumped the video man
Thanks for the video step by step would be great next time
I try to be a thorough as possible, while also not being boring. Sorry if I missed any steps you were wanting. But if you have any questions I can always help out!
Excellent your videos friend I follow you from Honduras
Thank you! 🙏
@BrandonStellmach I have a Corolla 2011 and want to give it to my son. I was looking around to replace the Head Unit and found your video. I really like the look of the IDoing units. I have a couple of questions. 1) Does the IDoing unit work with the built in mic that is at the top middle front of the car close to the review mirror? I find this mic to pretty good. 2) Does the Idoing unit work with the AUX USB port that is already in the car? 3) I saw that someone posted a link to 3D print a USB Switch Hole cover, did you try it? I noticed that I have a blank on the right side of the AUX USB port. Might be a good idea it that could be used.
Thanks for the Video.
Are you happy with the functionality? Can you provide a follow-up? Thanks!
Yeah, this radio has been great. I might do a follow up video in the future!
@@BrandonStellmach Any glitches or problems to know about? Thanks for the reply!
Honestly I wish I could tell you I had any problems. But I haven’t, other then 1 day I turned on the radio and it froze. And I just had to hold the reset button on the radio.
But that only happened 1 time, In the last 6 months.
It’s very fast and responsive, and the wireless CarPlay is my favorite, and it also works flawlessly.
@@BrandonStellmach Great to hear, thank you again!
I can't find the wiring harness for my Toyota Corolla 2009 with the JBL system. I ordered one on Amazon and it didn't match my car. I honestly need help.
Sorry for the problems. I know this unit isn’t a plug and play for the JBL system. But people have got them to work. I believe you need to connect 2 of the amp wires together for everything to work.
But for the best help, I would contact idoing and they will give you some good instructions to help with the JBL system!
Nice I want to upgrade my radio too but there's like 5 in ebay that I don't know how would they perform
The ones you see on eBay and Amazon, they are a decent radio, because that’s what I had before. But they don’t come with all the extra features and things you would want. Like Apple CarPlay/ or android auto. Many times they are very low grade processors, and tend to be slower when loading apps.Also this one works with steering wheel controls. Not many of the cheap ones do.
While the idoing is a higher end radio, with better displays and internals, that make it worth the extra price.
@@BrandonStellmach how much are we talking about? I have 2009 toyota corolla s that radio that you bought will fit mine too
@@lalok9912 well the radio I just installed is about $360 and the radio I just took out was around $200.
And yes this will fit your corolla. Mine is a 2009 corolla as well.
Thanks for sharing this with us. It’s so great that this has been documented. If you ever get PH’s families blessing, I would 100% pay for a print of the titanic.
👍 👍
Just like me, wearing a nice watch, while working on automotive things
Sometimes I wonder why I wear it when I do automotive things. I have scratched up the screen really bad. 😂
Nice, was looking at the Bose BCPA9RC for my Corolla 2009. Do you think the idoing is a better option?
Well just looking at the radio, it seems to be a very universal radio. Which will require extra harnesses, and a dash kit of some sort.
While the idoing is complete plug and play, and looks seamless in the car.
Nice video bro, have you tried Dasaita? It seems like a nice brand as well.
Thank you!
And yes I used to have a dasita in my Camry, and it was good for a while, but than it started to get very laggy and started to reboot every once in a while. While this radio I haven’t had any problems and it’s much faster too!
Thanks! I’ll get iDoing for my Corolla
How well is it holding up all these years now? Also how would i know if mine comes with JBL amplifier? I never switched radio system in any car. But i know my car doesnt have a backup camera 2013 corolla.
Just want to get one since its plug and play which i like. Haven’t found any other thats plug and play.
These radios have been great! I have had these in my cars for the last 5 years and have no issues!
If your radio has JBL it would have the logo on the stock radio.
It’s nice that this radio is plug and play which makes it super easy to install!
Can you change the cluster light color??? My cluster on my 09 is orange and I want to change the color but I think it’s soldered in?
I have been thinking about trying to do that. But like you said they are soldered in place. So your going to need to be good at soldering.
I have one of these but the screen shuts off at night. I am not sure what could be wrong or what i could fix but plugged everything seemingly correctly.
That’s weird, I would double check everything is plugged in correctly, then double check that no wires are shorting onto each other. Might seem that the dimmer switch is shorting out when the headlights come on.
Hey guys , I have the same problem as well, when it is getting dark outside or when I drive in tunnel and the dashboard lights is on the system shut off and trying all the time to reboot ..any idea please why this happened ?
Got one, everything works but the EQ settings does not work at all! Do I need to get another one??! Or can it be fixed somehow??! Help haha
I have not heard of anyone having this issue. I would verify all the plugs are pushed into the connectors good! If there is still an issue, I would contact idoing. They should be able to help get it figured out!
Hey thanks for the video. The link you sent for the stereo only has the plug and play version. Can you post the link for the wireless Apple car play version? I really am having a hard time finding the built in wireless CarPlay stereos.
The link is the correct one. When it says plug and play. It means you don’t need anything else with it.
All the idoing radios come with wireless CarPlay!
@@BrandonStellmach oh okay great thanks so much!
I have jbl amp on my corolla but hope you can still help. I talked with idoing and they told me to connect the orange amp ctrl wire with the blue amp-con wire. Do you think this will be fine and not short anything out?
And my second question is, im also installing subs, will i have both orange/blue wire connect with the wires for the subs?
Honestly there have been several people ask about this. But from what I hear is they usually don’t connect the factory amp.
And especially if you plan on adding subs, you are most likely going to get another amp, to supply the power for the sub, because the factory amp wouldn’t be able to power it good.
But I’m not sure if connecting those wires would short anything out. It seems more like a bypass.If it shorts the radio, it most likely will just blow a fuse or something.
Does the brightness of the radio dim whenever you turn your Headlights on? I'm thinking about getting one but I want to make sure it's not always too bright when I'm driving at night.
Yes it dims when you turn your headlights on, also you can dim the screen more in the settings if you want to. So you should be able to get it where you like it!
@@BrandonStellmach Awesome! Thanks Brandon!
Hi Brandon, can you tell me how I can change and put the logo of my Toyota car on when I turn on the stereo?
There is a way to change it. But I believe it’s in the factory settings of the radio. Which you will need to find out the pin in order to get to those settings.
But once you get access you should see a setting for startup logo.
Great video…! I have just started to use Apple CarPlay on this head unit…but I have to press the Carlink 2.0 app every time the head unit starts. Did you find a way for the app to start on boot automatically or you do it manually too?
there is an autostart for the app, but I find that it takes longer for it to boot the app up, then it is to click the carlink app.
I just click the carlink app every time because I have just gotten used to it.
@@BrandonStellmach I have just found the setting…it just takes 3-4 seconds until the phone connects to the unit and CarPlay is on!
How has this radio been holding up, now that it has been in your car a few months?
🤔
So far it’s been great! Have no complaints. Still just as fast as it was the day I put it in. And wireless CarPlay is what I use every day and works perfect!
Brandon! Does it get slow when it gets hot inside the car? Like Idk if you have seen it on other cars but when it’s too hot cause the weather outside and you get in the car and turn it on the screen starts working slow cause of that - have you had that issue with this since you installed it?
Also, with the Apple car play, does the Map works with it?
I have had this radio in my car for about a year. And I have not experienced or had any slow downs or glitches.
Honestly it’s been a lot better then I expected!
And yes Apple Maps works great with Apple CarPlay.
@@BrandonStellmach great to hear that! I’ll get one for my Corolla 13!
Thank you Brandon!
Brandon in your video the finished product has a very nice tapered trim piece that allows the screen to stick out very slightly from the flush mounted original radio. When I click on the link you provided the picture looks like the screen has a different trim piece around the screen. I'd like to order this unit, but I like the trim around the screen in your video better than what they show on their web site. Do you know if they made a change since then? Thanks for your help!
That is the exact same one as I bought. Not sure why the pictures don’t represent it accurately. A lot of times they show them on European cars so they look slightly different.
@@BrandonStellmach Thanks for responding! looking closer at the pictures, it may be the same one. Looking forward to ordering and installing it.
I have a 2013 Toyota Corolla but my antenna doesn’t look like that? It’s in a square shape plug, would it still work?
I know if you have XM radio, I don’t think that will work, but all other features should still work! If there is any questions about the radio, I would contact them and send them pictures of your radio, and they should help you with everything!
How’s the calling quality? The one on the OEM Corolla 2013 is pretty fuzzy.
I don’t use the radio for calls that much, but the microphone in the head unit is decent. But I wouldn’t say it’s the best.
They do provide and external mic to put it where ever you want. And that should give you good quality calling.
Really great video, I plan on getting this for my 2013 corolla but I was wondering if I can get apple car play wireless on my android phone? I don't know how this works since it's my first time but if so how would I get it on my phone?
Well Apple CarPlay will only work with an iPhone, but this radio does offer android auto. I don’t know if it is wireless. So you will have to plug it in with a USB. But android auto is an equivalent to Apple CarPlay.
And you will just open an app on the radio and plug your phone in. And it will recognize your phone. You do not need any app on the phone.
Thank you for that because I've been looking around for information before I buy it and this helps me out
Another question, for the wifi antenna does that mean it automatically gives you wifi or should I just but a Sims card instead?
@@zenakuokubo7929 the wifi antenna is only to help connect to wifi, either when you are close to your house, or using a hotspot on your phone.
Thanks for the video. How has the unit held up so far? Any issues?
Thanks
No issues! It has been great!
Can you watch movies? I know my old stereo i had, had a dvd player built into it and if i applied the e-brake i could watch movies.
I know you can watch UA-cam videos. And I don’t think you need the e brake up either.
@@BrandonStellmach you should find one of them usb portable blu-ray dvd external drives and hook it up to your glove box USB's and test it out for us...😉😉 pwease!!!
@@SgtsTanTaco honestly that’s a very strange thing to try. But I might have to do it! 😂
It says "wired android auto". Does that mean it only supports android auto when its plugged in.
My Car steering MODE button is not working. Is your's working? I think it is something to do with the white plug which is not put in anywhere
You may have to go into the settings and link the steering wheel controls. Find the SW settings and it should allow you to link each one up.
@@BrandonStellmach all other volume and forward backward buttons are set..except mode
Does this headunit allow you to use the cars factory amplifier after you install it? I installed a Kenwood DDX2 in my corolla and I lost my factory amplifier clarity in my door speakers, I was gonna install a new amp to make up for it.
I’m assuming you have the JBL system? Because that’s the only radio I know that comes with some kind of amplifier. Other then that I didn’t have any problems with my speakers. If anything the speakers sound better after I put this radio in. But I don’t have the JBL system.
@@BrandonStellmach all corollas have a factory amplifier for music clarity and stuff, your head unit probably allows you to keep factory amplifier power in your car because that radio looks specifically made for it, normally if you buy the single din or double din stereo just like off best buy for example you won’t be able to retain factory amplifier to your speakers unless you buy a $300 harness for it lmfao, but I like the radio. I have a 2010 S and I’m replacing all my speakers with nice JBL’s and gonna set a taramps on them with a DSP, I’m gonna have to send you the video once I do it because it’s a upgrade worth it in my opinion
I’m no audiophile, so I just know enough about it to be dangerous! 😂
But this radio is pretty much the price of the harness you need!
But I plan on upgrading my speakers soon too, as well as adding some tweeters too!
But I would love to see your set up when you done.
Hey Brandon, I just got the radio and set it up but I have the same problem you did with the reverse camera. I made sure I plugged it in well but still nothing when I put it in reverse. I tested it with the front camera harness like you did and it pops up on the front camera so I know there’s power going to it, but still nothing on the rear camera. Was wondering how you got yours to work ?
My camera wasn’t working because I didn’t have a good connection on the trigger wire to turn on the backup camera.
I just cut the wire and re crimped it together. And that’s fixed it on my end!
@@BrandonStellmach hmm I tried that already but I guess I’ll try it again, it’s just really weird cause all the connections are correct on my end but I’ll see
@@Djav1308 another question. When you put the car in reverse, does anything pop up on the screen? If it says no signal, I’m pretty sure it’s a connection that’s loose.
Also double check that your reverse lights are coming on. And make sure any fuses didn’t blow.
But if nothing pops up and it’s just black. Then there might be a setting in the radio that might need to be changed. And you will have to switch the video format.
@@BrandonStellmach When I put it in reverse absolute nothing pops up, like not even a black screen it just stays the same as it was before I put it in reverse
@@Djav1308 so it sounds like nothing is triggering the backup camera. I would double check that you spliced into the correct wire behind the radio.
Hey Brandon, I recently got my idoing radio for my 2012 Toyota Corolla, I do not have any steering wheel control. I was wondering how did you get yours to work?
There should be a setting for SWC which will allow you to link each key to what you want.
If this doesn’t work, idoing has good support and they should also be able to help you!
I guess my question would be how much are the RMS and watts peak?
I would try and check the website, or contact them for that information, as I don’t know the outputs for this radio.
Nice video as well!
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
Hey Brandon i am curious before I buy this is there a Jack port for the aerial in the back of those?
I bought a 13 corolla used week ago.. it came with pioneer upgraded radio and it is sucks you cant connect Bluetooth cause it has a full memory and the sub seems not working do u think this radio will solve the problem?
This is a great upgrade from that pioneer radio. This definitely will fix your Bluetooth problem.
As for the Sub, it might help. But it’s hard to tell because it might be a blown fuse or a bad connection on the sub.
But this does have inputs for a sub, so if you wanted to connect another one it will be easy.
How is this product in comparison with the factory-fitted Entune infotainment system the car came with?
I think these android radios add many features. And give you Apple CarPlay and android auto.
So I think it’s a great upgrade from the factory radio.
Can I reuse my original radio trim bezels? Or with the install do I have to buy a new set I kinda wanna just keep the original 😅 thx
Yes you can use the original ones. I only replaced mine because one of mine was broken!
Hey Brandon, I am installing the back camera in 2012 CE Corolla. the rear camera problem is same with me as u had in the first place. I am not getting any image of rear view on my screen like you. what corrections did you do to make it working?
My problem was not having a good connection to the backup wire behind the radio. So re crimping it helped.
@@BrandonStellmach alright. Thanks.
Did you have an OEM backup camera? Want to do the same but have the OEM touchscreen with the backup cam
I had an after market camera. I am not sure if this will work with an OEM camera.
How is the sound quality? my 11 Corolla is pretty loud itself so I was wondering if this is better than the normal radio it comes with!
From my old radio to the this radio I think the sound quality is pretty good. It definitely has more bass to it!
hey man i have a s plus so it’s a manual and i wanna get a short shifter but i have to pull up a lever to put it in reverse, i was wondering if you had this same problem and what you did
It sounds like your is a 6 speed? And I’m guessing it’s a 11th gen corolla? Because mine is a 5 speed. And I don’t need to pull up on any lever for reverse.
So I don’t think the same short throw I have will work for your corolla.
Why did you buy the 2 trim pieces? Does this Idoing radio not fit with the original trim pieces?
The original ones work perfect, I only changed mine out because they were broken.
Do you have an installation video for the radio unit that you are removing? That looks like the unit I am trying to put in. If so can you please direct me to it via a link?
Yes I did make a video a while ago, here is the link to it:
ua-cam.com/video/pz0ZQbDTHAo/v-deo.html
Are the new radio trims necessary for install?
You can use the factory ones. The only reason I replaced mine was because there were broken.
Hey Brandon! Do you still like your idoing radio? Did you have any issues with it?
I love my idoing radio. Has to be the best radio I have gotten. Still runs like new! And never freezes up on me.
Hi, is the ac instrument cluster stock or did u changed that also?
Hey Brandon! I just got mine for my Toyota Corolla LE 2013 and everything works great but not my steering wheel buttons, do you know what could I do to get it to work?
Thank you!
There should be a setting called SWC, for the steering wheel controls. This should allow you to hook up the controls from the steering wheel to the controls of the radio by learning each button.
@@BrandonStellmach yeah you have to hold the button for so you can select what do you want the button to do…. But when I do it I hold it and it just doesn’t do anything.
@@eduarmilla3996I would contact idoing and see if they can help you with this issue, it might need a software update.
How did you get the steering wheel control to work if your car didn't have it from the factory
When I swapped out the steering wheel, I also swapped out the clock spring, which gives the controls able to work. But if you had a stock radio, those wires go to nothing, but when you upgrade the radio to one that supports the steering wheel controls, they should work without and splicing to the factory harness.
Did you do any wiring or something ?
No just change out the clock spring and the radio and the steering wheel. Just have to unplug some stuff and plug it back in with the he new things. If your curious here is how I changed out the steering wheel and clock spring.
ua-cam.com/video/847SLnHTmGs/v-deo.html
@@BrandonStellmach you should do a video about it.
I will probably make a video in the future.
Did you buy the jbl amplified one or the one that isn’t jbl amplified?
If your car comes equipped with the JBL system, make sure you select that. If you don’t have the JBL system get the one that doesn’t have it!
I have a 2013 Toyota Corolla. Can you send me a link on where to purchase this.
The link is in the description for the radio.
I just bought this exact same one and it came to me in 3 days! Very fast shipping. I have a question though. I plugged in the Wi-Fi wire but I’m trying to figure out how to have Wi-Fi in the car. Do you know how by chance?
The wifi on this unit is only meant to connect to a internet connection. This does put off its own wifi signal. And the wifi adapter is just for a better connection.
@@BrandonStellmach Thank you for replying! I have another question. About a month ago I started noticing that the touch buttons on my screen don’t light up at night anymore. Have you experienced this issue?
I have not had this happen to me. Maybe there was a setting that got turned off and might need to be turned back on. If that doesn’t help, idoing should be able to help figure it out!
@@BrandonStellmachI checked all the settings and I still couldn’t figure it out. How do I contact idoing?
@@paulettecalvillo8759sorry to hear you can’t get it working. Best way to contact idoing is to DM them on Instagram. If not they should have an email. But Instagram is the way I contact them and I get a reply pretty quick!
How u have the setting of the radio cuz I can’t hear my local stations 😢
There should be a button to hit that is called FM radio. And that should let you listen to the local stations.
But if you just can’t hear it, you might not have the antenna plugged into the back of the radio good.
Just double check connection it should look like a large head phone Jack.
hey there brandon i was just wondering if any of the wiring is a reverse light wire?
Yes this does come with a wire to be able to add a backup camera.
I have a iDoing raido i pressed the button it worked
That’s great! 👍
Do I need to buy a dongle to use android auto feature? Or it's supported by default?
Android auto is built into the radio.
hello i have a 2012 toyota corolla , i installed a idoing head unit and cant seam to be able to get to steering controls to learn in at all i reset the head unit and a full deleate and reset still nothing changed the canbox type also im every plug is conected correctly checked few times any info would help Thanks
Did your steering wheel controls work before the radio?
Also when you learn the steering wheel controls you need to press and hold the button on the wheel, and then then press the corresponding button on the radio at the same time. I hope this helps!
@@BrandonStellmach are you using a canbus adaptor
No, I didn’t add anything to my radio, whatever came in the box is what I used. Maybe just make sure all the connectors are pushed In, because I had the problem, with my backup camera, because I didn’t push the plug all the way in the radio.
@@BrandonStellmach did all that lol. And tried all available can options for Toyota the unit works all other functions just won’t learn any steering wheel commands
That’s weird, because I didn’t have any issues with the steering wheel controls. Maybe contact idoing on Instagram or email and see if they have a fix for that!
May I please have the link to buy this camera?
I can’t find the exact one I ordered. But this one is very similar to the one I have. I wouldn’t say it’s the best quality. But I only got it because it looks OEM.
ebay.us/2pCHg5
I've been looking for the center dash "lower" trim bezels, but I couldn't find them
If you are looking for the silver trim around the radio, just search on eBay “2009 corolla center console trim lower” and you will see some pop up.
@@BrandonStellmach Thanks, I appreciate it 🙏
If I have a Corolla S with steering wheel controls, is there a plug and play option that connects to the car play head unit?
This is complete plug and play. And will work with steering wheel controls. The only thing is you have to teach the radio what each steering wheel button does in the radio.
So a heat later, how is the radio holding up? Thank you
After a year it was working prefect with no problems! I believe i made an update video on this radio!
@@BrandonStellmach yes, that’s what I meant. I year later. Not a heat later!! Thank you for the update.
Can you mirror the phone in this radio? And can you do android auto too?
Yes to both!
i have a question so on the website the kit comes with everything i will need electronically ? from the camera to the wires i’ll need to connect them?
Yes it should come with everything you need to make it plug and play!
@@BrandonStellmach thanks just ordered it with the camera! so i would just splice the cable in the back of the backup light that will power the camera once the reverse signal is on and also send back the rca display with the power to the display correct?
@@Poseiden777 yes that’s pretty much it, I made a video a video installing my back up camera, if your interested. If should give you a good idea and how I wired it up.

@@BrandonStellmach thank you so much for the help! one last question, does this specific display use the two extra usb’s to connect to apple car play as well? i know it’s wireless apple carplay but if i connected my phone to one of the 2 usbs it came with would it connect to apple car play or will it just charge the phone?
Yes that is correct, If you wanted to use wired CarPlay you still can and charge you phone at the same time!
Great job! I love it man! When you install that radio did you have to install anything for the steering wheel controls? Cuz I'm thinking about getting audio controls and that radio so it can work in my 2010 Toyota Corolla.
Well before I installed this radio I changed out my steering wheel from a base model corolla to a S steering wheel with controls. And when I did that I also changed out the clock spring as well.
But when I put the new radio in, I just had to program the buttons on the steering wheel to what I wanted them to do on the radio.
Here is the video of me swapping out my steering wheel: ua-cam.com/video/847SLnHTmGs/v-deo.html
@@BrandonStellmach I did see that video already and I did ask you questions if you got it to work but that was a long time ago. Thank you man
Bro Why does the stereo turn off when the lights come on?
I am not sure I understand what you are asking? It sounds like there might be a wiring issue. Try to replug everything in and make sure it is pushed all the way!
Would you recommend this head unit or the binize?
Honestly it’s a decent radio for the price, and mine still worked after almost 2 years. But you can tell a quality difference from the idoing VS the binize. With screen quality and how fast things load.
Hi! Can I watch Netflix here?? How?? Would I need to connect my phone using usb, or I can do it wireless? Can I watch Netflix without being connected to my phone?
The only way to watch Netflix is to mirror your phone screen to the radio.
But it’s much easier to watch UA-cam as you can actually download the app on the radio, while Netflix they do not allow it!
If you have toyota corolla 2012 le hard a USB and AUX so what will do about it its still going work?
I believe they should still work, but I don’t know because I never use them, I always use Bluetooth and wireless Apple CarPlay.
Maybe contact idoing and they should be able to let you know!
Great review man! Love your content! How’s been holding up? Did you have any issues since? I’m really considering getting this one ínstead of a Pioneer DMH2770NEX due to the size of it, but I’m hesitant.
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
I have not had any problems since I have installed it’s a great radio for the price. I use wireless Apple CarPlay almost everyday and it works great with no problems either!
This comes with a 9 inch screen, and it’s a high quality screen. And it’s completely plug and play. And doesn’t need any adapters.
Only downfall for this radio is it ships from China, so it takes a few weeks to get.
I’m buying a 2012 Corolla LE that’s 5 speed with 90k for 10k tomorrow. I wanna do this upgrade. Stock radio is whack 😅
That’s awesome!
And this radio is a huge improvement! Would definitely recommend!
Great review Brandon. Really appreciated. Can you just help me out with system password if you know about this car play to make some changes to myself. I have ordered the same after seeing your review. Thanks
Thank you!
And these are the passwords:
Factory code 3368
Car launcher 7171
How is the mic on the radio?
To be honest I haven’t even tried it! I don’t make many calls when I’m driving. But I will try soon and give you and update!
hi, did your old android stereo have steering wheel controls too?, is the steering wheel control an idoing only feature?
On my old stereo, I was only able to get the volume controls to work, but none of the others would work.
With the new radio it comes with wireless Apple CarPlay. A nicer quality screen, a better amplifier, as well as better internals, which makes it much faster as well!
@@BrandonStellmach cool, im planning to buy the idoing soon! for my 2010 Corolla
Does it come with a mic for phone calls?
Yes it comes with a mic built in. But the mic that is built in, is not the best. But they also supply an external mic, so you can place it in a better place which is better.
700CAD$ for a Fucken radio headunit man is there any options similar but cheaper?
This radio is expensive, but comes with much nicer quality screen and internals.
You can buy cheaper radios from Amazon or eBay, but they might not give the same performance or longevity.
How long does it take to connect to wireless CarPlay from startup?
From turning on your car to Apple CarPlay is probably between 15-20 seconds.
Hello, How do you set canbus??
The canbus should already be set once you get the radio, if for some reason it was set to the incorrect car, there are settings to change which model car you have.
Hello, I have a 2008 corolla, if I buy the same product, will it work from aliexpress?
This radio is only for a 2009-2013 corolla.
I would contact idoing and see if they make a radio for the 2008 corolla!
Does the new radio also have wireless android carplay?
I believe the android auto is only wired, another good way to find out is to send them a message on Instagram. And they should be able to help you out. @idoing_media
Can you please share the link to this?
Here is the link to the radio, I apologize that I didn’t put them in earlier.

Does a 9in or 10in radio unit fit in a Toyota 2013 LE
The radio I installed in my corolla is a 9in radio.
Hey do u have a discount code on the website side for idoing radio ?
I do not have any discount code.
Can this radio fit in a Toyota axio 2011?
I’m not sure, you should send iDoing a message or email and they should be able to help you out.
When you turn on the car, how long does the radio take to go to the Home Screen?
Probably around 5-10 seconds. It pretty fast!
@@BrandonStellmach Really, how do you do that? Mine takes 25 to 30 seconds.
@@helfymolina5850 that’s very strange. You have the same iDoing radio that I do? Maybe there is a setting to help it boot faster?
@@BrandonStellmach yeah i do have the same radio as u but I don’t know and when I ask them to help me they don’t respond
@@helfymolina5850 I would try to reach out to their instagram. They usually reply fairly quick!
There is NO integrated amp for your main speakers in this device just to let you know. I returned mine because I am putting together a sound system.
Yeah this radio isn’t the best for high end audio, but it works great for your everyday listening!
What’s ur recommended budget unit?
It’s on Amazon, one of my older videos I install a radio for a little over $100!
Question, is it compatible with Apple phones?
Yes it is, I have an iPhone and use it all the time with Apple CarPlay.
