2023 Joying head unit - every setting & feature

[@ElevatedVehicles]

*CLICK READ MORE, to see links* Grab some popcorn because we will be taking a deep long dive (NOT QUICK video) into nearly every single setting in the new 2023 updated Joying head unit including a few of the good & bad changes they have done when compared to the old 2021 Joying head unit I have reviewed previously. That being said, despite it's shortcomings, I still recommend the unit. Nothing compares to this unit in my opinion, for my applications, and for what I need out of my head unit. I like how slim it is and that is has no branding or logo on the screen border. Below are affiliate links to the unit I got. If you decide the unit is for you, I'd love if you supported my channel by using the affiliate link(s) below to buy yours. The price is the same whether you use my links or not. I just get a small kickback from Amazon if you do use my links below & that helps support my channel. Cheers 2023 newest joying Android 12 version links below: 13.3" screen (as seen in my video) single din amzn.to/44nGWjg 13.3" screen (as seen in my video) double din amzn.to/3sn6Oia 15.1" screen (if you have the room) single din amzn.to/3QPJR1l 15.1" screen double din amzn.to/3E5hoNg 11.6" screen double din amzn.to/3P7HKo8 11.6" screen single din amzn.to/3smBvnx 10.1" screen double din amzn.to/47K6WIQ 10.1" screen single din w/ knob amzn.to/3QQkOv8 MEASURE to make sure the screen won't block any buttons or air vents on your dash. I recommend getting the single din as that will allow you much more flexibility on how high or low you can install the screen. New Joying AR cameras that double as dashcams / recording cams (only w/ new 2023 Joying head unit that is) amzn.to/3OISfgl Why they call the cameras AR cameras... I have no idea. There is no "augmented reality" happening but I do admit they look really good and it's nice that they recording video as well (like the tesla cameras do) Here's a link to my Sony microphone I use for my headunit amzn.to/3qR99RQ Don't forget to ask Joying for a canbus decoder or if they even sell one for your vehicle. If they don't then you will have to buy a universal one where you can program your steering wheel buttons manually. Unless you don't have steering wheel buttons. If you don't have steering wheel buttons then I wouldn't get a canbus decoder. (my opinion of course. Do you research on this)

[@AdrianJr]

On the 15.1 unit...it's massive. The wiper lever is literally millimeters away from it. I mounted the front camera from joying behind the actual unit itself. Looks neat 👌🏾 your videos helped me install it myself. First install ever done and I feel like a professional because of you. Thanks man you rock 💪🏾💯😎

[@ElevatedVehicles]

​@@AdrianJrnice! I wish I would've gotten the 15" Thank you for the kind words as well. It motivates me to do some more videos 😊

[@TheStarrfamily1]

So considering my radio is Double din the 15.1 in would be blocking my ac vent by 1 in on top would the single din possibly allow me to raise it 1 in or more? Thanks!

@@TheStarrfamily1 Yes sir, single din is what ya want. That's what I should have gone with too for my Jeep wrangler

Thanks, Really appreciate it! @ElevatedVehicles

[@AppagonCero]

Thanks for the follow-up. Your Joying video was well done and very informative. Overall, I think Joying did a good job with the unit excepting a few minor fixes requiring minimal effort. I am surprised they have not addressed these issues. Thanks again for your response.

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Thank you for the kind words. Happy to help. On XDA forums there is a thread on the unit and they have some fixes in that thread. Cheers

That's awesome! Thank you for the kind words. Really does mean a lot to me. I've got other videos on this new joying on my channel as well including how to update the firmware when you get yours.

[@thefunkybassistnl]

@@ElevatedVehicles awesome! I have the optical out in use with a Helix DSP amp for crystal clear audio so for now I'm most interested in the 5.1 DTS feature.

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Dang that is gonna be awesome. I've only got a 4.1 system in my Jeep so I am looking forward to hearing what you think about the 5.1 sound it produces @@thefunkybassistnl

[@thefunkybassistnl]

@@ElevatedVehicles depends on your amp and connection. So I just installed the new unit and it's easier than ever. Everything worked right off the bat including audio, 4G and basic setup with Google and Apple Music was done in 15 minutes. The new navigation and upgrades are all a big improvement in the right direction. I have the unit linked up via Optical to a DSP amp, which I think supports 96khz surround signal and I have only 4 speakers, 2 front 2 back (Morel Ultimo). Will add a sub later. I found that setting it to 4.1 surround sounds best. Tweaked around with the DTS settings and details can sound both very spatial in different locations and the whole sound more powerful, more present. A downside is that it sometimes sounds more compressed, maybe also because of the spatial "reflections" being combined to a center channel. But the DTS option sounds AMAZING and definitely a fun feature to play around with!

[@ElevatedVehicles]

​@@thefunkybassistnlvery fun having the DTS! I'm curious if you have the same issue the rest of us have when the units first launched. In 4.1 mode (and if you have a subwoofer in the vehicle) fading the sound to the front takes power away from the subwoofer. Fading the sound to the rear boosts power to the subwoofer. This makes it difficult to gain match. No other head unit, including the 2021 Joying I use to have, has ever had this issue we have on the 2023 version. It's a bummer. I'm on the latest firmware and they still haven't fixed it. I like having a front stage when I'm by myself in my vehicle and then if I have passengers in the rear I like setting the fade in the middle so everyone has equal volume going to each speaker. But this requires me to lower or increase my bass knob each time I do this

[@MarkTruskolaski-bw4vf]

Do you have a video on how to install the rear cam ? Or could you help me lol it comes with zero instructions 😅

[@ElevatedVehicles]

@@MarkTruskolaski-bw4vf yes true! No instructions which is a bummer. I don't have an install video but if you have a Jeep Wrangler I have a video showing how I wired mine. What year Joying head unit did you get?

[@MarkTruskolaski-bw4vf]

@ i have a 07 jeep Cherokee and a 11.6 inch newest joying

[@ElevatedVehicles]

@@MarkTruskolaski-bw4vf nice! I would imagine the video I have on my channel showing my rearview camera wiring schematic won't help because that video is from the 2021 joying head unit. When I installed my 2023 Joying head unit the rear view camera integrated with the front view camera power wire and it was a much easier install and pretty much plug and Play I didn't have o tap anything

[@jeepjoe1996]

Pretty good video, and to think you never even mentioned anything else about the radio except the settings pages alone! Haha... Not to count the whole new 48-band DSP eq settings pages they have now too lol... Now you see why I havent gotten around to doing my full video like yours too yet, it takes FOREVER to go through and show and explain every last thing these new radios have to offer lol... I could explain some of the things that you didnt know what they did or are for, I'd actually almost like to to a voice commentary over your video almost at those points (like freeze frame at them) just to add to your video... Great job on it man!! I've been far too busy at work past few month to get my full setup installed in my Jeep Cherokee to do a proper review like you did... Maybe they'll have the 360 camera system available by the time I install mine lol. Its a MAJOR install process to add all those cameras in i bet lol

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Joseph great to see you here! You've been instrumental in getting me help when I initially set this unit up. Yes would love your feedback for the areas I didn't know what they did. Agreed. This is just the settings. There's a wealth of tools on this head unit I didn't even touch on haha

[@ElevatedVehicles]

And yes they actually reached out to me this morning and asked if I'd be interested in testing the 360 camera on my Jeep. I replied yes I'm interested but haven't heard back yet. I would imagine it's a big time on labor to get all the cameras installed just right so it will view correctly on the screen.

[@jeepjoe1996]

@ElevatedVehicles yeah I can only imagen lol... It's something I personally have never tackled yet either before. It's be a major task I'm sure lol

[@ElevatedVehicles]

@@jeepjoe1996 when it launches I'll order it and then do an install video. I'm looking forward to pulling my hair out haha

[@fordsixhoe1184]

A 360 camera would be great for my truck. I literally just installed a 3 camera Mirror / DVR for it, because I have bad blind spots. It's a Wolfbox G890 front, rear and in cab cameras. I have no blind spots now. And these cameras now are crazy good. My rear window is tinted, my cap front window and rear window is as well. If I look back with my naked eye, I can't see anything through them. But looking through my in cabin camera that is basically the view from mirror point of view like an actual mirror, I can see plain as day what is behind the truck. I don't understand how, it just does it. It also has night vision for inside the cab. I wanted the incab for my dogs, to see what they are up to when I am not in the truck, and also watch them in the back seat when I am driving.

[@fordsixhoe1184]

"Delay Shutdown Seconds" This is a feature I requested on my 2021 unit. Not sure I had anything to do with it, but I made a suggestion to them since I have a Diesel truck, and most of them cut all Accessory power during starter engagement. I had my unit inside and plugged in, inside my workshop all winter, updating and customizing it. It never once messed up. As soon as I installed it, I was having problems with it. It would do so weird things. I also noticed it would shut off and reboot when starting. As with any computer, it isn't good to unplug it in the middle of boot. It was scrambling things and I had to reset it a couple times. Pulled it out and put back in my shop and didn't have any problems, eliminating that it was a problem with the HU. It was my truck doing it. So I wired in a Diode and Capacitor to the ACC wire to delay the power down for about 5 seconds after power is cut. I made a suggestion to add a delay as I was betting this was not just an issue with my truck, as other vehicles probably do the same. This is a good feature. Don't really need it in my Challenger though.

[@ElevatedVehicles]

I interestingly had the opposite problem where my 2021 head unit would power down after 2 seconds but my amp would power down immediately when the car would turn off and it caused a very loud boom through the subwoofers. I'm happy to see that with this 2023 head unit I can set it to immediately turn off when the car turns off

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Yea for sure. I had to play around with the canbus program in settings & settled on Jeep compass & that one worked

[@ElevatedVehicles]

But they may have a new firmware which has added Jeep Wrangler in the canbus settings possibly. It's been over a year since I had that issue so they may have updated it

[@Whoatharmage]

1:18 This isn't based off Samsung, but this is stock Android settings. Dates back to either Android 8 or 9 for the layout of the Network & Internet menu. It's nearly identical to the way this settings menu is on my old Blackview BV9800Pro. 1:30 Have you tried the Torque app? On all of my phones, the OBDII reader I have won't directly pair in bluetooth settings. It will pair initially, but afterwards won't be "connected" like other devices. However, when I launch Torque (I use the lite version as it clears codes and read them just fine without having the paid version) then it auto connects to it after a moment, giving updates in the top left about what step it's on for connecting. 5:42 I'm fairly certain Navi Data Copy is for copying Map data for offline use. Many of these headunits used to come with an option to buy a microsd card or a flashdrive that already had offline map data downloaded for you. This is useful if you tend to go through deadzones, don't have a data plan, are visiting some location forever away and are unsure if you'll have data the whole trip, etc.

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Thank you for the info! I'll check out the torque app

[@Whoatharmage]

@@ElevatedVehicles Once I install the new head unit I just got in(not a Joying, but is a 13.3" that's very similar, possibly same base) I'll be putting a video up showing how it looks to connect to a third-party obd reader using the Torque and OBD Auto Doctor apps. I'll definitely leave a new reply here once I do so in case you have any issues and want to see exactly how I get it to connect

[@ElevatedVehicles]

On my unit there are 3 styles to choose from. Looks like you found the options menu for it. I think if you go in reverse & touch & hold on the screen it brings up a menu of things as well. I should go try that to see if I am remembering correctly, when I get off work.

[@jonahmann1056]

Quick question,I’m not sure if you would know. Am I forced to use the “AR” back up camera? I have it currently, but I believe I have found a better one I would like. On Amazon , under the description, it stated you have to use their accessories, isn’t it just a aux cable? So any aux camera should work. At least I would think so.

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Unless they changed something, the backup camera system does use the "AR" camera wires. I dunno why they call it AR but I digress. On my unit, it looked like a proprietary input but they may have changed that design

On my Jeep Wrangler no. However, I have read on XDA forums that some cars have this function. My opinion, go into the purchase decision saying to yourself that you will NOT have that ability. Then if it turns out it does then great but if it doesn't you're not let down.

Good day. At about 6:46 in your video you reference a DVR App Set, including commentary on the camera app. I have a Joying head unit with Snapdragon and the list that shows on my DVR app set is much shorter including the camera apps do not show anywhere at all. Do yu happen to know where I can find the APK to reinstall those apps? By the way ... fantastic video ... keep on keeping on :)

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Thank you for the kind words! Yes the apk should be found in your files folder (they aren't hidden) if you can't find them for some reason the XDA forum thread will have. I would post link but youtube removes links. If you google 'joying 2023 xda forum' you should find the thread. The front and rear cameras can record just like a dash cam or a "DVR" but you'll need a micro sd card in the head unit for it to function :)

[@drexvil]

Can the AR cameras replace a dedicated dashcam? So if there's an impact, does it automatically keep the recording? Any way to quickly save a recording manually? I'd like something easy to use post-accident, last resort is to have it save onto an USB drive by default so it's easy to take it out.

[@ElevatedVehicles]

So it does not have accident detection however mine are continuously recording to the SD card anytime the vehicle is on. So if I were to get in an accident it would be recorded. It doesn't save sound and the video looks more like 720P instead of 1080p HD but I like having it as a backup from the dash camera just in case so that's why I set mine to always record

[@themonkeyproject]

Mine connected fine to my OBDII Scanner.

Yup that's true for some OBDII's I had to get a different one & it connected to that one. 🙂

[@nickp.4915]

I have the 11.6 inch early 2022 flagship model and agree completely that something needs to be done about the Bluetooth situation. Locked down Bluetooth is a fairly substantial negative. I have a several Bluetooth devices that have nothing to do with Bluetooth items that Joying sells, one is a Bluetooth interface for my JL Audio VXi Series DSP amplifier, I have hooked via Optical SPDIF cable to my Joying unit. Unfortunately I cannot pair this adapter which means I need a tablet in order to use the Android Software and VXi Bluetooth adapter to tweak the amplifier DSP settings for the head unit. This is really a damn shame, and Joying really needs to resolve this issue for its customers. While not ideal I would even pay Joying a bit extra for a software revision with the Bluetooth unlocked. It's not about the money it's about controlling the flexibility of the unit. Nick

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Man you hit the nail on the head. We are so sick of every single head unit from them that we have had since 2021 be locked down for Bluetooth for no good reason other than I can think of is that they sell an OBD Bluetooth adapter. But it still does make that much sense from that perspective

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Nice! Congrats on the new HU. And thanks for the words of affirmation. To my knowledge there is no way to turn off the unit unless you installed a rocker switch, or you could also hit restart on the screen and then turn off the truck. You can also make the screen go black. Unit will still be on, but I often times will turn the display off when I'm in the country so I can see out my windshield easier.

I recently bought a Joying head unit. It's a 9-inch model, but it seems to be the same software as yours. The issue I found was that, if I turn off auto time sync, the clock setting is always reset to the default whenever I manually reboot the head unit or the HU restarts from power shut off after sleep. Haven't you seen any similar issue? I have already spent quite some time trying to fix the issue and communicating with Joying CS, but couldn't find a solution yet. Actually, Joying said that it's the issue only for my head unit, but at the same time they didn't admit that my HU is faulty.

Hi, very good video, thx for this! Question, I’m going to buy a Joying unit as well for a 1981 Volkswagen T3 Single Din.

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Hello & thank you for the kind words. Yes very much so worth it for someone like me who's a bit of a head unit snob. I've reached a point with head units that cost means nothing to me so I'm not out there trying to look for the best deal or the best bang for my buck. I'm looking for a head unit that is feature packed with options. As well as looks aesthetically pleasing while performing well under high heat (convertible Jeep top off in the summer) I had a 2021 joying head unit running Android 10. It was my first Joying head unit. And then recently I upgraded to their latest version 2023 Android 12. Very much worth the upgrade by a wide margin. I've got a comparison video that I'm working on and will release at the end of this week. Doesn't compare performance or menu settings it just compares the screen sizes and shows just how thin the new one is. The new one is also much brighter which is great for someone like me that takes the top off and the Sun can often wash out the screen. But not so on this new unit

Hey man big fan of your reviews! Is it possible to connect them with wireless apple carplay? and could you send me a video of that and how it looks? does it cover the whole screen?

[@ElevatedVehicles]

Yes sir it does wirelessly connect to Apple carplay. A lot of people have asked me about it and it's the same with wireless connectivity for Android auto the reason I've never done a video on it is because for someone like myself it's completely worthless. But let me explain why I say that. Because this head unit runs Android operating system it does so much more than Apple carplay and Android auto can offer. The only way that I could possibly see myself ever using Android auto or apple carplay is if I wanted to see text messages while I'm driving and then reply to those text messages. But for someone like myself I just want to focus on the drive and enjoy the drive rather than replying to text messages from work or my family and friends. So because of that, that's why you'll never see me make a video on it because I think it's a pointless item. However I respect and totally understand people that want Android auto and Apple carplay for the convenience of not having to set up everything with the Android operating system that currently runs on the head unit. But once you learn the Android operating system on the head unit it will run absolute circles around anything that Android auto and Apple carplay can do.

[@HAMMER_2.2]

Thanks for showing the backup camera feed (w reverse trigger). I was really banking on using the new 12.3 radio as my digital gauge cluster. I would have used the app RealDash and obd2 bluetooth connection. Have the "Navigation" app set to RealDash, and then enable 'open navigation on startup' to have RealDash always on. However the bluetooth support is so frustrating! My setup would use a piece called dashbox that lets you take it wired engine info (fuel levl, rpm, speed, turn indicators, etc) and transfers it via bluetooth to RealDash. I can imagine that Dashbox bluetooth connection being able to pair to the 12.3... Now i am thinking of using a tablet thay would run Realdash and have the bluetooth connection. Then use a usb-c hdmi output converter to get video output, and a hdmi to rca converter to feed the tablets video out into the Joying reverse camera feed. I could then use a video switcher to display my parking cams and gauge view in the joying. Thats really the goal is to have a gauge cluster and camera inputs in one screen Ah what a freaking workaround. So frustrating! Sorry for venting 😂

Vent away! I agree it's frustrating they lock the Bluetooth down. Joseph Metcalf mentioned a workaround in the Joying Facebook group.

If you get their 2023 version (linked in my description) there is an option to turn off completely or turn off in sleep mode (which will drain battery slowly) however you can set sleep mode to fully turn off at a certain voltage (I have mine set to 11.6v) So that when the battery gets down to 11.6v the joying will turn completely off. The reason that I use sleep mode instead of fully turning off the unit is because when I walk back to my vehicle and turn it on the Joying boots up really really quickly.

Does the ar camera record directly when you start the car or do you have to start the app first by yourself? I haven't installed the ar camera yet.

[@ElevatedVehicles]

If you go into settings after installing your SD card and you tell it that you want it to record then it will automatically start recording whenever you start the car however there is another setting inside what's called common menu where you can also have it recording while you're parked kind of like Tesla sentry mode

[@ffre4k]

Any idea how install Revanced on this unit? Or change voice button to trigger google assitant like in every other car instead of google search?

[@ElevatedVehicles]

I have asked them for this feature on allowing me to program what button on the steering wheel does what command and apparently because they have a pre-wired plug and play can bus system adapter, they do not allow it on my Jeep Wrangler. Because Google search is trash I would much rather have Google Assistant when I press the button. The work around that I do is I activate "hey Google" so all I have to do is say that phrase and it automatically launches the Google Assistant. As for installing revance it's the exact same way on how you would install it on your phone. Not that I have revanced on this unit 😉

Yes sir. Since it's running Android you can run any of the automation apps that can do that. In the Joying settings there's a spot that can auto run an app on startup but I am not sure if Apple carplay is one of the options. I'm not around my Joying unit until Wednesday to look.

@@ElevatedVehicles perhaps I should be more specific. If you have an amp, and you use the High Level inputs using the speaker wires of the head unit, instead of low level (rca), the High level coming from the head is amplified. The Output Amplitude is to adjust for that.

@@OverboardDM happy to help. Dude I remember those hummer H2's! So great question on the bracket for your vehicle. For my Jeep it was easy cause I went on Amazon & there were a couple to choose from but I wonder if they even make one for your H2? I will say some simple 1/8" or even 1/10" steel could easily be made into a bracket to allow you to measure then make your own bracket in about 30 minutes.
