Erisin Car Head Unit on Amazon - Physical Knob + Buttons - Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

[@markstorer7204]

Cheers Stuart, I know some people will appreciate the proper knob for the volume, its something I wanted but couldn't get on a better quality double din unit....👍

[@SaabUnleashed]

I was going to make a crude joke, but I shall refrain :)

[@GodisGreatt]

Another excellent vlog. I definitely like this flexibility of the EQ and surround settings. Thanks! 👍🏽

[@aligatorurek]

Except for a simple question like "who is Erisin?" haven't been answered... Erisin is China! So for many people that could be the end 😉

[@wesleyvelroij4837]

8:45 you could have these apps set to auto-start, that's an option within Android. I also opted for a head-unit with an older chipset, because they are simply cheaper. I would say the main benefit of older chipsets is, that most bugs should already be fixed. Newer, faster chipsets tend to come with more bugs.

[@comieodor]

Just this week bought a car with a standard double din cage (3, but with one reserved for AC) and no steering wheel controls so this was right up my alley. Unfortunately having it stick out the front is a no-no. Any other good options to fit snugly in a double din with a volume knob?

[@eds8633]

They now use ARM A75 & A55 chipsets. My Erisin ES8559C is on order.

[@SaabUnleashed]

Let me know how you like it

Hi … I need a head set to fit Ford Transit Mark 7 motorhome .. this is perfect but I can’t find it on Amazon ?? Help 😢

[@84rafaelkld]

Gracias por su snálisis. He comprado esta radio (ES8528) y he encontrado unos errores. La radio FM una vez que la abres no puedes apagarla, no tiene botón de apagado. ¿Puede explicarme como se apaga la radio FM? El volumen del bluetooth es muy bajo aún estando al máximo. Eso se puede arreglar desde el menú de fábrica, pero te pide un PIN y no lo sé. ¿Puede decirme el PIN del menú de fábrica? Cuando entro en Google Maps el menú está en ingles y no se puede cambiar, sólo se puede cambiar el idioma de la voz, necesito cambiarlo a español. Gracias.

Hi Erisin have advised that Stereo es8691 is the best model to fit my VW T6 Sportline ,but they cant confirm if the reversing sensor app on the original will work on this unit ,Do you have any ideas

I have bought one of these head units for my 2006 VW passat and i'm getting interferance with both the engine off and on(alternater wine) also with the lights on. The bluetooth phone sounds like im in a bath to the caller. Any help or maybe a video on total car suppresion would be appreciated.

Sounds like you have bad earth connection. Try and find a better solid clean bare metal ground.

@@emalior5000 I will give it a try. Thank you, much appreciated.

[@emalior5000]

@@johnbywater9840 Do you have an external amplifier and how have you connected the black ground wire from the back of the head unit? Things you can try. 1. Remove all rca connections from head unit going to amplifier. 2. Make sure open end wires and rca connectors coming out of head unit are not touching each other or anything metal on the car. Maybe tape the ends. 3. Remove anything that isn't necessary to power the unit besides the power/earth and speaker wires. 4. Run a temporary ground wire from head unit to battery outside the car just to test if it's poor grounding. 5. Turn on unit and listen for noise and if it's fixed follow on from step 5. 6. Add rca back and listen 7. Add other devices or components like gps antenna, radio antenna, usb connections etc to see if any of these are causing the ground loop. Ground loop noises are hard to fix or find, it's best to start from scratch and one item/wire at a time. But since it gets worse when you turn on the lights it's almost certainly a ground issue. Sometimes having other devices grounded at the exact same point can cause issues too. I hope you figure it out.

I fitted a heavy gauge earth wire and a ground loop isolator at the same time so as not to have to keep removing the unit, the following information was given with the ground loop isolator.

Hi stu I've recently purchased a second hand Erisin UBE1608D54 that's what it says on the sticker that's on the unit. The person I've purchased it from has had the unit for around 2 years. I'm just wondering 2 things if you can help. Is it possible to get fitting/operating instructions as the person I've purchased it from has lost them for this head unit also my climate controls display on my radio atm so if I change it to the erisin unit will they still display any help is greatly appreciated

[@SaeedAhmad-xz2jt]

Hi Stuart great videos from you! I've just bought a car with an Erisin unit already installed ES8105V. The rear has connections almost identical to the one you're reviewing. I'd like to add some extras like reverse camera, DAB module etc. However, I have no wiring loom exactly like the one you show at 2.34 into the video which is for steering control, camera etc. Any idea how and where I could get one please? Thanks.

[@SaabUnleashed]

It'll be difficult because theres loads of identical plugs with different wiring setups. You might find it'll be easier to just replace the head unit for a complete one

[@SaeedAhmad-xz2jt]

@@SaabUnleashed Thanks for replying😊

[@chopjockey]

I bought an ERISIN but there was no Key1 or Key2 cable connections for remote controls... Grr I had to wire my own connections into the plug / socket. Also the FM radio keeps forgetting it's tuning memory.

[@SaabUnleashed]

That's weird. On this one the Key wires are called "SW" for steering wheel. If your radio keeps forgetting it's memory, that might be related to the way that it has been wired in. Try swapping the red and yellow wires on the main loom

[@chopjockey]

@@SaabUnleashed I fitted the Erisin to a VW Crafter van with no OEM steering wheel controls. So I bought after market controls and then found no key wires. Obviously Erisin assumes everyone to have OEM controls and so summarily decided to leave the wires out and therefore not give you the option to choose to use them or not. I thought this was extreme 'Penny Pinching. However the software was still there so I just added the two key wires myself. Thanks for the tip about changing the yellow and red wires, I will try that. Cheers.

Hi Stewart I've waching some of your videos to decide what double din head unit to put in my 2007 ford ranger UK spec. I decided to buy a Vankoo off ebay with 4gb/64gb. It has turned up today without the 20pin iso connector 😫. I've rang afew local companies like halfords and autosounds who have told me they wont/don't supply iso leads for Chinese head units. Is this something you could help me out with. Maybe we could have a chat on the phone if that's ok with you it would be alot easier for me. Look forward to hearing from you.

User review I purchased this unit off the back of your review and was initially impressed BUT........3 months later....... 1/ The FM and DAB tuner seem to only want to tune to your local area. Example. I live in Yorkshire and all is fine but on two trips to Edinburgh within 10 miles of leaving my home all stations have gone FM scans constantly and DAB can't hold a station. 2/ BT connection is a pain if your wife drives the car. It will not pick up and auto connect to my phone if the wife's was last connected, you have to go into BT connections and manually connect. Very cumbersome. 3/ wireless android auto is very flaky and randomly disconnects so I've had to go cable. 4/ it crashes a lot. Overall a little disappointed. Its all a bit clunky.

[@TheSilversurfer700]

Bro. You do know it's useless to use these apps independently on a head unit. They will always run sluggish. I've had many head units over the years. You need to run it through android auto or apple play. I have almost the exact same unit and mine runs very fast connects within a few seconds. I have upgraded my phone and the head unit and the app it uses to run android auto which is zlink. This way it will run wirelessly with no cables. I feel your review is a bit unbiased as it's while function is to run it through android auto which runs very fast. Just letting you know

[@SaabUnleashed]

This is purely down to your own opinion. I mention in most of my reviews that Andorid Auto/CarPlay that the apps are streaming from the phone and that you are only limited by the speed of the actual phone itself, which are generally very fact. The thing is, Android Auto and CarPlay offer watered down versions of all apps, and most are simply not available. High end Android head units are very fast and negate the need for streaming apps

these units are crap you will be lucky if they last a year, customer support is the worst ,do your research !
