[@jamesmoirano4271]

Another great review, thanks Stuart! Loving the jukebox simulator, genius 😎👍🏼

[@hankmoodyx]

good job bro. keep it up

[@Cookie-pct]

How can I get CarPlay on my asure head unit in transit mk7 please?can’t even find zlink app on google play,?really struggling with it.can’t connect through wireless as it says go to airplay and select ec mirroring but nothing works...any suggestions? Thank you👍👍👍

[@erif682]

How do you change the settings to make sure the unit turns off with the ignition instead of sleeping?

[@ebaaganem7973]

If you can help me which product is better this one or mekede head unit Really I'm confused and can not take deciation So please tell which one i can purchase A-SURE OR MEKEDE 😊

[@waterlover30]

Hi Stuart, could you comment on which head unit manufacturer will work with Mercedes the best? I recently had a Can Bus issue with a defective bumper sensor that crashed the network. Unplugged, everything works again . So I want to make sure I don't introduce a bad signal to the car network and that I don't lose functionality . Thanks.

[@desmondrodrigues7333]

Hi Stuart, What would be a good android head unit I could install in my Subaru Forester 2014 XT no display Harmon Kardon system but no external amp.

[@hexrays]

Look and function is a lot like the T'EYES CC3. The CC3 is more refined and available for many more vehicles.

[@edyXfake]

Have you find a wait to adjust the mic volume?

[@killdano]

I want you to make videos about using SBCs as car computers, in particular the Rock 5b or Rock 5 ITX.

[@tonyr49]

Another great product review . Just a query on the many different head units you connect to your juke box. Some connections are 16 pin and some are 20 pin . Are all 20 pin android units wired in the same order on the pin socket or are some wired slightly different. Same for the 16 pin connections. The reason I ask is that I have changed from a 2015 qashqai to a 2019 Tucson but I still want to use my Dasaita head unit so will have to adapt the harness. I already bought the fascia for the hyundai to fit the Dasaita but not sure about the wiring.

[@asr1904]

How do you change the main menu?? I want like yours radio, navi and music, on mine came with the car speed some ugly picture of a guitar.

[@SaabUnleashed]

They've obviously changed the design at some point. You can download a new launcher from the play store. Have a look at this video for your options kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIq7YnhqmMyKiJo

[@Frank_42]

I'm still looking for the illusive 7" Android head unit with GPS and or Android Auto that actually sounds good, is affordable, and has a CD player. Even better would be a physical knob and reasonably large buttons. Even better would be with a card reader. I've yet to see one that does it all without price gouging. I tried a Boss and it sounded like a transistor radio playing through a tin can...no EQing could make that sound good. It was sluggish and had a primitive unresponsive interface and file system that was more like an old Squirrel machine like what they use at restaurants than a tablet.

[@companiessuck2975]

I'm buying this 13 inch version, it seems to have the same processor as the one reviewed in this video and also has six gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of storage.

[@manhnguyen177]

How slow are the 4core models? There's one on eBay for my Tundra but there's no 8core model from this manufacturer. Should I just get at Teyes cc3?

[@SaabUnleashed]

4 core models are horrendously slow, you will get frustrated

[@Ramshop24_Hauptkanal]

Hi I bought that radio because I saw your video thanks for the great work but now I have the problem that the radio is always on even if the ignition is off is there any way to change that because it’s killing my battery 😢

[@SaabUnleashed]

It means that it's incorrectly wired up. The radio gets it's power from the ignition live. If that wire is connected to a permanent 12v connection, it will stay on. Try switching the red and yellow power wires on the radio's main loom

[@Ramshop24_Hauptkanal]

Hello so great that you answer so fast 👍👍💪💪 I fixed it changing some tabs in the menu now it works but the next problem I have I can change the volume but the music is same volume so the numbers change high and down but the music is always same loudness only at 1 it’s little bit less and on 0 it turns off 🙈😫

[@peteadam9453]

Where is the sleep mode option for this?

[@markbennett4001]

Hi, was looking for a new head unit for my 68 plate Renault trafic sport. I hope you could suggest one that's really good. Will need the fitting plate. Plus if I've got a manufacturer rear camera would it connect to the head unit? I'm lost because there is alot on the market.

Hi Stuart I have just purchased this head unit for my SMAX, is it possible to remove / change the 6 icons along the bottom of the HOME SCREEN please? Many thanks

[@SaabUnleashed]

No you can't, it was one of the things that annoyed me. You'll have to install a launcher from the playstore. Have a look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIq7YnhqmMyKiJo

Hello again, I looked in to it and installed VIVID, a nice Launcher but would really like to be able to completely customise it's home screen with Apps and Widgets, (like a mobile device kind of thing) maybe something that you may have tried recently after making these videos Thanks for your time buddy

I’m struggling with my a sure, it’s been working until now but I’m getting no audio after moving some cables around yesterday. Can you possibly give me a message to pick your Brains if it’s not to much trouble. Thanks in advance

[@Seluecus1]

I have the 4 core and have been struggling with it since day one, after install. I can't change the default widget to more accurately display the things i want. The Blu-tooth can't make up it's mind about connecting, or at least showing that it is connected (even when it is). I can't get some of the qol features to work, such as maps (despite having a gps system and location setup with the entire thing). It's honestly aggravating me and I can't find ANYTHING on the 4 core and ways to set it up for even basic use. The only saving grace, at this time, is that it was a gift, so i'm not feeling cheated out of it in case i can't get the thing to actually set up the way i would like to have it.

[@bellybonesrocks]

Was curious... I can't find the sleep settings on this unit anywhere. I'm tired of having to wait for Android to boot every time I start the car. Would much prefer a sleep mode.

[@bellybonesrocks]

Nevermind, I'm blind apparently

[@NoplanB98]

How can I change the boot logo with this I don’t quite understand what the radio is telling me ? pls help Thanks

Stuart did you ever figure out how to get to hidden file for boot logo's. I just bought this unit and like it but a little hard to figure out loading songs from my phone into internal file did you have netflix loaded?

I’ve ordered a unit from AliExpress. Not sure what brand it is but think it might be A-Sure. Do A-Sure have a unit with 8GB RAM and a 2000x1200 resolution display?

[@SaabUnleashed]

It would say Asure if it was Asure. Remember the way it is physically designed is just an industry standard, so many brands look alike

[@eweelyliemberg]

THE OPTICAL AND COAXIAL OUTPUT OF THE DEVICE WHAT SOUND QUALITY DOES IT HAVE (16, 24, 32 BITS / 44, 96, 192 KHZ)??? HOW MANY AUDIO CHANNELS DOES THE OPTICAL AND COAXIAL OUTPUT HAVE (2 STEREO CHANNELS OR THE 4 CHANNELS + SUBWOOFER)?

@@SaabUnleashed Don't waste your time and money as it is essentially the same unit as the A-sure (same chipset, ram and UI). Mekede, A-sure, Navifly with the 7862 are pretty much the same under another name.

[@SaabUnleashed]

@@chrisbellevue Navify and Mekede are the same company. Asure is different. The head units look the same because they all build them to a size standard, but the components differ, as does the software, when dealing with different companies

[@SaabUnleashed]

I am not a fan of Apple products. I actually bought that iPhone very cheaply on Facebay with a broken screen for the sole purpose of testing CarPlay for these video. That being said, it is annoying and I should probably just get one in less of a state!

Hi Stuart, is possible for you to recommend a android unit that would fit my Hyundai i800 and what harness I would require. Frank

[@mknight6026]

Stu, do you have any suggestions for an android unit that can do medium gaming 10.1"-10.3" 64gb+ with bird's eye cams that is an actual good brand? I'd like to be at $400 max but if there's something cheaper like $250 that will work that'd be better for my poor ass.

[@SaabUnleashed]

360 cams and you only have two options. Kroak and Teyes CC3. The Teyes is infinitely better in every way and is really the only one that would do everything you want.

[@ionescumihai3099]

Please a little help. Which of all car units has an ambient light sensor. It has to respond very, very quickly, in this way, if you are driving at speed, in the summer sun, and you enter in the passage, in a maximum of two seconds the brightness should be reduced from maxim brightness , to minim, so that, the white color map from Waze does not blind me. I kept researching, and I only found that it only reduces the brightness if the car light is turned on, and then, it still doesn't reduce enough. It seems to me the most important function for such large screens, and I see that no manufacturer wants this. Ambient light sensor

[@SaabUnleashed]

I have not seen this function on any head unit, and yes, it would be a good idea

[@kyshaunsmith154]

[@ViktorasFr]

Hello Saab, i love this channel so many good videos. I wanted to ask for your opinion if possible please. I live in Australia, and have a 2010 VW golf 118tsi. And been wanting to upgrade a head unit and originally wanted to go with with the new Xtron as they have Android 12 i think. But what would you recommend for me, i am a apple user as well. With all theses different opinions got mix feelings now haha

[@SaabUnleashed]

It's a common mistake to buy something because it has the latest version of Android. In truth, there is very little benefit to getting something newer than Android 10 as the majority of improvements were designed for mobile phones. Hardware specifications are the single most important aspect, followed by the user interface.

[@ViktorasFr]

@@SaabUnleashed After watching many of your videos in leaning towards Teyes cc3 for mk6 golf. Looks very clean and its cheaper plus its in Aus as well even better for me. Just wonder if need any extra face plates.

I always just used MTC devices because of the custom Roms from Malaysk and Hal9k and because i get a real 2 DIN radio in size.

But i am still afraid of that it will get to hot in summer. Can someone say something about it? Thank you and regards

[@sultankilani1958]

Can we install car play on a head unit?

[@vinimoreno]

Hi, Stuart! Could you please make a sound test playing a song through android auto Spotify and through the head unit Spotify app? On my OEM vw headunit (not android) there's a tremendous difference of quality when playing songs through bluetooth (way, way better) and through android auto Spotify. I'm guessing android auto has a poor sound processing software? Or maybe it's just for this particular headunit, i don't know. Cheers from Brazil!

[@SaabUnleashed]

I need you to elaborate further here because you're talking about 3 different things. Three options are - 1. Listen to music via streaming bluetooth from your phone 2. Listen to music via Android Auto (TYhis is also streaming from your phone, but uses a Wifi connection) 3. Listen directly from the Spotify app on the Android head unit Of the three above, the best quality should come from the Spotify app installed directly, followed by Android Auto and Bluetooth would be the worst as it is inferior. I personally always use Spotify directly installed and when I tested it on this head unit, it was great. Don't forget Asure have lots of different hardware to cater for different budgets and unless you bought this exact unit, you might have something different

[@vinimoreno]

@@SaabUnleashed I forgot to say on my head unit, android auto only works with a wired connection. My point was to see if you could notice any difference on sound quality when listening to music with different connections on the A Sure or any other premium android head units as I'm deciding which one to get. Thank you for your time!

They all aesthetically look the same because they all come from the same Chinese Warehouse... in China there are factories that produce these things and companies basically just give them extra money to paste their own name on that product and they sell it and then other companies will also put their name on that same product then sell it it's the way that the warehouse works so of course they all look the same with maybe only slight differences or variances depending on the model but if you bought it from Chinese company a or if you bought it from Chinese company b or if you bought it from Chinese see it's going to be the same cheap Chinese radio just with a different companies named slapped on it the internals are all the same the parts are all the same etc etc...

[@SaabUnleashed]

This is not true. They look the same because this shape is an industry standard like single and double din. The mainboards are made at different factories and they have different components and software between brands. That being said there are some generic units which are lazily shared across noname brands

[@kcg7861]

Widevine DRM certification

[@kcg7861]

You never tell us of its it's simple it's just an app that you download on the head unit to see because they'll tell you anything when you buy it directly from the manufacturer they make up stories not all the manufacturers but a lot of them Widevine DRM certification?
