Chinese Android Car Head Units - The Ultimate Guide - Xtrons Atoto Joying Teyes Dasaita Idoing Radio

[@anonymous-dz7yl]

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?

[@anonymous-dz7yl]

Should also add I like the look of the xtrons which have physical dials and look close to stock VW but don't think they do wireless android auto.

I have an android unit and i would like to install Apple car play , do you know a way to doit??

[@lucasnilsson2952]

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.

[@doyle7877]

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

[@andrewphillips9027]

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 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.

[@ntaudios88]

Better to add an amplifier device, since the sound ic cheap is not that good which compare with the oem device

[@ntaudios88]

@@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

[@raiden72]

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

[@Alkatross]

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.

[@superusermode]

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]

Yes the original one was pretty slow

[@superusermode]

@@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.

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.

If Pioneer added just $12 more processing power to their current flagship models, they'd be a decent buy but because they didn't, I consider them a total flop. The laggy interface, slow response to external button controls, deranged voice call and automated voice audio when using wireless apple carplay, impossible to change volume quickly, never resumes to the last screen you seen when your phone disconnects and reconnects/keyoff keyon, I could go on forever about how alpha their flagship stereos are right now and their customer service department could care less.

[@stevey500]

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.

[@DoeBoy999]

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.

[@kirkdarling4120]

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.

Actually, all the major brand DDIN units have regular updates that should be done. At least once a year, sometimes more often.

[@BeybabaEfendi]

every device connected to ethernet should be able to do updates. Otherwise your device always has some risks to use (malware and so on). The big difference to original OEM devices are, that these updates are most of the time free, while your on built device wants you to pay a fee for updates.

[@4wdivesafari]

My biggest winge with Android HU (on my second) is they are only supported / updated for 12 months. After that you get no firmware or OS updates. Apps keep updating to works with newer OS, so tend to grind slower and slower on outdated system. At least this is my interpretation of what is going on. After 2 years it’s annoying and by 3 years it’s unusable (assuming you want realable-ish navigation. Oh and seriously how bad is YT music offline…

I wish Joying had a way to be able to turn on rear camera at will while driving in reverse like they allow with the front camera. Sure I could splice with a Y cable from reverse camera into front camera input into the joying but it would have been so much nicer if Joying did it by default. Imagine having your back seat full cause you're moving or going camping. Being able to turn on the backup camera would be clutch. Also anyone else prefer to just hear his voice instead of his voice plus music? I do like that the Joying is so clean without buttons or name brand on the screen. I use it with my steering wheel buttons so if you don't have steering wheel buttons to control volume, etc... It may not be right for you. The joying will not allow notifications of any kind in the notification panel. I have text messaging ability and 4G LTE on my joying. And I also use email on my joying. It never notifies me which is a bummer. Joying also locks down Bluetooth OBD2 scanners. So none of my OBD2 scanners will communicate with Joying. I assume it's because Joying wants you to buy their OBD2 reader Another thing, I wish Joying would come out with an OLED screen with high nits. I'd happily pay $1k USD for this. My convertible vehicle with the top down is a hard time to see the screen with the sun out. They should also remove the chrome trim around the headunit. It blinds you when the sun hits it just right. On my 11.6" Joying I removed the trim and painted it matte black. But would be nice to have it black from Joying.

One cool thin gI loaded on my Android HU was a weather app, so I could view live weather radar when out and see if a rain front is heading my way!

[@sinistersilverado965]

The Pontiac Aztek was the best vehicle in it's category and price range

1) 2gb in no enough..look for the 4 or 6. 2) DSC je insane difference in sound .. 3) apple carplay (android auto) must have !!

[@owenmorrrison6047]

Thanks so much for this knowledge

[@freemanforsaletelavi]

I’ll be happy to hear what is personal preference and what would you recommend for a vw golf.

Your series on Android head units is amazing. You are giving so much valuable information. Thank you so much. Can you explain TS5 TS7 TS10 processor or T5 processor. Also, make a video on upgrading software of these head units. Thanks.

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 ?

Hi I’m looking to put a android head unit into my Hyundai i800 2013. Do you have any recommendations for a middle to high end radio and what cables I would require. Keep up the good work. Frank

Thank you for a very helpful video I’m looking at a bundle for my Mazda 2 from Joying do you think that’s a good way to go

[@Thereviewerman5]

Fantastic and very helpful video. Thank you.

[@8bitsamurai6]

Thanks for this video. Be looking for top brands in this.

[@alexander1989x]

Another big reason big brands don't switch to Android is because Google force them to never manufacture non-Android devices through their Play Services Terms.

I have a 2005 VW Golf GTI Mk5. In your opinion, what is the best head unit I can buy that will fit easily and give me the best experience. A large screen is preferable: 9inch?

[@CCpix4CCtv]

Excellent series of videos, have watched quite a few now. You have convinced me to buy and Android unit for my 2009 Alfa Romeo GT. Problem is there are so many versions none of which list an Alfa. Any help in choosing which T'Eyes system I need would be hugely appreciated.

[@MrJ1ufo]

Great video very informative. I did purchase a head unit made by Xtrons for my Audi A5. It was installed everything works great except the car intregation feature. It says (no signal) any suggestions as to what it can be? I have also reached out to Xtrons about this. Thank you, jess

[@stephenoconnor4320]

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. 😢

[@dark30welderwelding11]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[@dons1643]

Oh great video, if I have a Android head unit. I don't need Android Auto or Apple CarPlay...? Nice to know that

[@SBT300]

A list of recommended brands would be nice.

[@hiimunranked8663]

thank you great video, i have a question: is OCTA CORE T8 processor good ?

[@edzedeboer9230]

Very interesting, but please don't use background music in the future.

[@randomstuff2607]

I have the 2023 joying head unit installed on my 2020 tacoma, and I freaking love it. It does it all and more. Stop paying way too much for the big brands that dont do half of what a joying unit does. Those big brands are greedy basterds.

[@ode4492]

This is brilliant! Question about sock amplifiers and steering wheel controls. Are there special adapters to use with these Android stereos? I have a 2005 Jetta TDI and had to order a Maestro from iDatalink to maintain my steering wheel controls and insure proper operation of the integrated amps. Has something to do with Volkswagen's "k-line" I have a Pioneer dmh-w4660nex on the way from Crutchfield and now I'm considering shipping it back.

[@aaronhall3129]

Any insight on eonon head units?

[@lofilove3739]

Thanks for the Video, what’s your thoughts performance wise, on the Joying 9“ ? Cheers

[@SaabUnleashed]

Joying is amazing. I reviewed the 10 inch version recently, it's very similar
