How to Install a Joying 10.1" Apple CarPlay + Tailgate Camera - Wiring Explained

[@socalexpeditions]

P.S. for the app labeled AR Camera (where you can view the F/R camera at anytime), make sure you select SD Card as the recording device. Another note: If you want wired carplay, plug the male end of your cable into the headunit. Do not use the usb cable extension out of the back of the headunit! Make sure you directly plug in your cable into the headunit itself.

I recently replaced my JY-TQ167N4G-B (Android 10), with this Joying JY-TZ167N4. I am using the same tailgate handle camera and a Joying AR front camera. I can see either cameras when using the AR Camera app, but the recording only records the front AR camera correctly. The rear camera shows up as green video when played back. Have you recorded both successfully? I wonder if it has something to do with the rear camera being a different format/resolution. You would think if you could see either camera just fine it could record both. I am going to drop Joying an email.

[@socalexpeditions]

@@N6EAJ Change your rear camera type to CVBS

[@socalexpeditions]

@@N6EAJ Oh, I misread. Your camera works, just shows up as green video on playback. In that case, yes, I would email Joying

[@N6EAJ]

@@socalexpeditions Have you successfully recorded video from both the front AR camera and the rear tailgate handle camera and have been able to play both back?

[@socalexpeditions]

@@N6EAJ Yes, I have.

Thank you for such a detailed video. Actually, all of your videos are fantastic! I have an 07 RCSB 4x4, they are so rare. I'm looking forward to the audio upgrade. I installed a 10" Atoto unit, was great for about 6 months but has developed annoying issues that dont seem to be able to reset. I like the fact that the Joying unit looks molded into the dash for a factory look. I'm also looking to redo the grill the way you did, thank you for the video on that job, looks so good.

[@oldschoolride]

You the man. Thanks for the "trick" about scrolling up to find the CVBS-N setting. I messed with my camera for three days without being able to get it to show up on the screen. I knew it was wired properly. All of the Joying's seemed to be a bit different, even their factory video was no help. Thank you!

[@socalexpeditions]

No problem man!!

[@danb7146]

So did I miss something with the tailgate cam setup because at first you said connect the tailgate cam red wire in back to the blue/red wire, then you said you switch it with the purple wire to the blue/red wire in back so where did you connect the red wire with the fuse?

[@socalexpeditions]

@@danb7146 The red wire for the camera by the headunit is tied into the 12V going to the headunit power. Purple wire to the “BACK” or “REVERSE” wire on headunit, purple wire to the blue/red by the taillight.

[@danb7146]

Ended up taping into the 7 prone trailer light connector, it has 12v power and a rev indicator and grounded there too. Installed the front cam behind my rear view mirror so it can act like a dash cam for now.

[@woodystipsandtricks-qr2tm]

It’s me again, I love your video. You are top-notch with info, I just have a quick question. Is there an SD card in my new head unit from Joying or do I need to purchase one separately thanks.

[@socalexpeditions]

@@woodystipsandtricks-qr2tm Purchase one separately. Make sure to format it!

[@woodystipsandtricks-qr2tm]

Thank you for the kind reply… now I will watch vids on formatting,Cheers!

[@woodystipsandtricks-qr2tm]

I went to Staples and purchased a PNY brand micro SDHC/card, elite, and I also bought an adapter to format it on my laptop. It seems it is already formatted to fat 32 I think is what it said so I didn’t do anything else and installed it on my head unit, I don’t have the front or the rear video camera installed yet it’s so hot outside. I have limited time to do this stuff , I will keep you posted

[@tonyrodriguez213]

How well has it held up?I’m planning on buying it soon. Thanks.

[@socalexpeditions]

@@tonyrodriguez213 No problems

[@woodystipsandtricks-qr2tm]

@@tonyrodriguez213 it’s performing really good, man the sound quality is very impressive. It blew away my stock head unit for sure and the display is very, very nice. This is a top-notch unit, even though it is made in China I was very leery before purchasing this, but the reviews pushed me over the edge so I bought one.

[@DrigoArtsFX]

Not sure if you know that if you have an SR5 it's already pre-wired for a backup camera, there is a connector clipped to the frame at the back near the spare tire on the passenger side, then there is a connector in the cabin located in the top behind the sunglass holder. If you get the OEM monitor you can easily install a backup camera without crazy wiring or anything. Much cleaner AND OEM....

[@socalexpeditions]

@@DrigoArtsFX Yeah I know about that. Except camera quality from OEM is bad, it’s a tiny display in the rear view, isn’t available full-time… 😬 Not worth doing vs. a tailgate camera to the headunit IMO

[@lSEXPANTHERl]

Thanks for the video! Helped get my backup camera working. Was wondering, is the plastic screen covering okay to take off or does that need to stay on? Have some air bubbles under the plastic and was wondering if I could take off

[@socalexpeditions]

@@lSEXPANTHERl Yeah take that screen protector off!

[@lSEXPANTHERl]

[@socalexpeditions]

@ No prob!

[@danb7146]

Got the Joying 10.1 head unit installed and front AR cam and a different tailgate cam and all is working. Installed the front cam inside attached to the windshield behind the rear view mirror so it's out of my sight. Your video was helpful so thank you I don't seem to have the split screen icon in the top right portion of the screen. Was looking to see if there is some option to turn that ability on, any ideas?

[@woodystipsandtricks-qr2tm]

I have the flip down small monitor mounted on the ceiling in the cab, I am so confused on how to actually do the wiring connection. Wow if someone put a video out there on that, that would be great.

[@socalexpeditions]

@@woodystipsandtricks-qr2tm You could tap the wires and run them on an RCA, or install a tailgate handle like I did

[@RodneyHarris-k4s]

I know this video was two months ago but I was wondering what did you do with the power wire in the rear of the truck for the camera connect bc you said you hooked the purple wire to the red/blue wire to the rear but I didn’t catch what you did with the hot wire/red or did you tie it in with the purple

[@socalexpeditions]

You only need power in 1 spot for the red wire. Either from the rear tail light, or a 12v from the headunit wiring. I used the 12V ACC power wire from the headunit wiring harness for that red wire so I can have an anytime camera!

[@trentsmith4800]

⁠@@socalexpeditions I’m currently follow your example. Had the same question as above. Connected the red wire to 12v ACC behind the unit, but what does the other end of that wire connect to? The purple is connected to the reverse light, but not sure where the other end of the red wire needs to terminate.

[@socalexpeditions]

@@trentsmith4800 You don’t need to hookup the other red wire that terminates by the reverse light, only one side to the ACC as you’ve done.

[@vsdhariwal]

I don't have the purple wire with my tailgate wiring. I only have a little red wire next to the yellow video cable behind the unit. On the tailgate end, I have red and black wires. How would you set it up?

[@HabsGamer]

There is like 6 options on amazon and I have no idea what to pick. With JBL, without JBL, etc. How do I know which one to choose? Thanks

[@socalexpeditions]

[@jaycsage]

How has the head unit held up for the past year? I bought this cheap one from Amazon 2 years ago and it started having problems with starting up not too long ago. As of today it’s just stuck in the boot up stage and I am considering buying a new one, or just going back to the stock head unit.

[@socalexpeditions]

@@jaycsage I have no problems with mine. Try using the RST button on the face of the radio. You’ll need something thin (small paperclip) to hold it down for a few seconds.

[@jaycsage]

@ ah ok. I’ll probably end up buying this one since I like the fact it has a knob. I’ll see if mine has that button. Thank you man!

[@socalexpeditions]

@ Yessir!!

[@brandonEpicAero]

Are you having issues with your volume knob? I bought the same head unit and when I change the volume slowly it adjusts slowly, but when I turn it at a slightly faster "normal" speed the knob stops changing the volume. Takes forever to turn the volume up.

[@socalexpeditions]

No man I don’t have that problem. Reach out to Joying and request a new screen?

[@brandonEpicAero]

@@socalexpeditions Yeah, I reached out and after troubleshooting and sending video of the issue they were adament it was normal behavior and refused to send me a replacement screen. I just won't buy from them in the future and have to accept that it's a (slow) fine adjustment volume knob now. Disappointing for sure, but it works great other than that.

[@danb7146]

Great video, I have a 2007 Tundra Crewmax Limited with premium JBL system but no navigation or rear camera installed. I've been looking a Joying 10.1 and 11.6in units. Dasaita 10.2 and Viabecs 10 in units and trying to analyze which to buy. Had you looked at Dasaita units or what made you decide on the Joying unit? Been looking at aftermarket tailgate backup cams also. I know Dasaita had a tailgate cam and a front and rear cam you can add on also. thanks for your time.

[@socalexpeditions]

@@danb7146 Buy the one with the physical knob for volume. Dasita has offered me multiple free units but the lack of radio knob is a no-go.

[@carryacross4aday]

[@jdfick]

What did you attach the reverse camera black ground wire to in the head unit?

[@socalexpeditions]

@@jdfick Nothing. You only need 1 ground. I did my ground at the frame by the rear tail light as shown in the video. -Ground at tail light -Purple wire to reverse bulb wiring at tail light -Red at headunit to 12v coming from headunit wiring harness -purple to “back” or “reverse” wire from headunit wiring harness

I was wondering if you leave the red wire connected to the tail light or if you replace it with the purple wire. Alternatively, do you hook them both up to the tail light?

[@socalexpeditions]

Purple at tail light. Red at 12v for switching on. Purple to trigger wire on headunit wiring. Add front cam to the 12v with the red.

Still working on this one. Most likely will go in the grille and run the wiring in a wiring loom to the grille.

[@Scotty6411]

did the head unit make for better sound quality out of the speakers? or is it negligible

[@socalexpeditions]

Yes absolutely.

[@bgnPrinceton]

Should be an improvement as Toyota stock head units are known to reduce bass output as volume is increased (apparently to protect the cheap speakers). Any decent aftermarket stereo should be an improvement because of this, and better speakers would be another improvement.

Are you able to cast or somehow watch movies or videos directly from your phone to the joying headunit?

[@socalexpeditions]

Without JBL. They can all support steering wheel controls, it's the JBL that is the difference. Whether you order from the website or Amazon, you can send a message along with the order explaining what features you have and dont have. For instance, you'd say "Non-JBL, no steering wheel controls."
