[@braylenwyatt5528]

@Abraham Izaiah I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@braylenwyatt5528]

@Abraham Izaiah it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

[@abrahamizaiah3171]

@Braylen Wyatt no problem =)

[@lambbosbread123]

is the after market mic needed ? or can the stock one be used ?

[@Blight-fp3vt]

why wouldnt you use the mic already fitted to the car from the OE headunit?

[@Tynn8]

Can I use this video to install the Kenwood DMX8018S Toyota 86 Version?

[@leoadam5410]

Hi,I have a question about what different with Kenwood dmx820ws and Kenwood ddx917ws?

[@nolantepayopay5669]

Just recently purchased ddx9020dabs for my toyota 86 gts. Reverse cam antenna apple carplay android auto working but my steering wheel controls are'nt. Am i missing something? Cheers!

[@vcpolo5]

Any chance you can ship the harness to the US?

[@AutoChimp]

we would have to quote for shipping email us [e-mail]

[@amstaff9576]

Does this Head Unit have the option of switching on the reverse camera whilst driving like my current Alpine as it is a great option when off road.

[@chauly2316]

hi, i just want to install this KENWOOD DDX917WS for my 2010 TOYOTA AURION TOURING, can show me how to install it and do i need to buy any part to fit it in please, thank you

[@AutoChimp]

We can film one if we do the car

[@joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo1546]

Great video. Just wondering if the Reverse Camera 4 Pin to RCA/5 Pin Reverse trigger also converts the power from 12V to 6V for the factory camera? Is this available from a manufacturer or custom built?

[@AutoChimp]

The factory camera can be powered off 12v it will tolerate no problem.

[@joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo1546]

cheers!

[@jerio60]

Does the harness work with Kenwood DDX 919WS?

[@hippopotamus86]

You ran the mic cable over the top of the air bag. You can instead thread the mic cable down the cover and thread it through to the other side so that the airbag isn't obstructed.

[@charlestabifranca4136]

Is the USB adapter (Metra AXTOYUSB - Adapter Suit Toyota’s Retain Factory USB) included in this plug & play kit?

[@AutoChimp]

Yes it is.

[@shahadat198713]

Do you have harness for toyota kluger 2010?

[@JuanPerez-yy5hr]

If you actually remove the two screws and pop the air vents out You can mount the GPS antenna on to of the ducting air vent

[@AutoChimp]

Yes but not required it gets great signal where it is and very simple to do, but could always mount elsewhere as long as clear line of sight to sky without metal above it.

[@videoyoplait]

Have you installed this head unit on the new Toyota Fortuner? I've been trying to get the rear camera to work but can't get it to work.

[@joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo1546]

Second question for you, where can I get my hands on that 5 pin reverse camera male plug? Just that alone. Thanks!

[@AutoChimp]

The 5pin we make out of another harness. The original harness is available from us $44.

[@joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo1546]

Good to know, thanks!

[@kurttricot2244]

Hi CarbonCarSystems, Thank you for your guides so far, out of curiosity if you are able to answer since I'm currently viewing the brz 2017 as a potential new car. How much is the ballpark/RRP cost for having a reverse camera and kenwood system installed?

[@AutoChimp]

The unit is about $1099 and the adapters and plugs about $179 the brz has a camera already standard the plugs we do adapt the factory camera to the new car.

[@samgab]

I just got one of these units for my 2010 Jap import Toyota Prius. Hooked it all up myself, made an adapter to RCA to retain the factory reversing camera, but I just hooked the factory reversing camera up to 12V Ign source... It works, but I've read a lot online about factory reversing cameras for Toyotas being 6V, not 12V... Do you know about that? Does the fact that my factory camera works mean it is a 12V camera, or is it maybe a 6V camera that will go POP soon because I'm running it on 12-14.4V?

[@AutoChimp]

The factory reverse camera is only 6v but it can be powered off 12v not a problem at all! It will not go POP :D they have a voltage tolerance.

[@samgab]

Oh cheers man. Thanks for the reply!

[@agustinecamargo6723]

This stereo can have harnesses for 2012 chevy cruze ltz witout navigation

[@AutoChimp]

Not this model try the DDX9017DAB that will fit same features you will need facia kits and adapters though.

[@tonyhoyx]

Does this work with the OEM AUX port next to the USB? I am looking for a harness for Pioneer AVH 8850bt. Wish to use back the OEM USB and AUX ports and steering wheel controls of a 2017 BRZ

[@AutoChimp]

This will retain the USB port but not the AUX, most people will never use the AUX anyway as with the new units its all digital media, two USB, and bluetooth audio so why would you use AUX? The problem with trying to adapt the AUX to the factory AUX they are normally 2x pole audio jacks when the new AUX inputs on aftermarket multimedia units is 3x pole input (audio and video) so it never works how it should. Some times you can use parts like this for example: carboncarsystems.com.au/what-fits-my-car/#models/325/categories/23/products/694/960 But it doesn't work always with new units and is often costly. The question would really be would you spend the extra money on making the AUX work when you have so many better audio sources with the new unit? Even apps now like Spotify & Pandora

[@benelliott95]

Hey, how hard is it to uninstall (in terms of removing the wiring) the stock microphone in top right of car?

[@AutoChimp]

You can just leave the stock microphone there , just unplug it from the stereo you remove and leave in the car in case you ever want to return to stock for sale.

[@benelliott95]

good call on leaving for sale. Didn't consider that. Just put an order through! apologies didn't specify it's for a BRZ on order but sent an email.

[@JuanPerez-yy5hr]

Great to see that there is still some good installers around Using cloth tape plug and play harness and common sense Just wondering beside remote start alarm videos A you going to do any upgrade alarm install videos

[@AutoChimp]

The alarm in the 86 we do which is remote start and security can be done but its a two stage programming so its very hard to show that as it requires online logins and programmers. I will do a video but people won't be able to do it themselves unless well trained.

[@Flip904]

Will this work for kenwood dmx905s

[@TonySambell]

do you know if this headunit fully intergrates with the 2017 86/brz stearing wheel control and rear camera?

[@AutoChimp]

The 2017 models have a single piece dash that is different shape I believe but you can buy the dash piece with the Toyota rounded edges from the Japan Part number 66077CA190 From Subaru Japan. Or alternatively you can run the Kenwood DDX9017DABS. The camera will integrate with our plug yes not a problem. If you want email me a photo of your dash and stereo ill check what will work [e-mail]

[@TonySambell]

CarbonCarSystems thanks heaps, I have already ordered the JDM 17 brz dash piece that has the normal rounded corners vs the Aus triangle shape. I'll email once everything arrives.

[@AutoChimp]

Wow awesome dude! What was the price of the part?

[@TonySambell]

CarbonCarSystems $195 AUD including shipping to AUS.

[@AutoChimp]

Wow thats great! It will be a big improvement, the App Units are awesome!! Glad to hear we have helped.

[@toneabet6252]

the GPS antenna doesnt need line of sight or anything?

[@AutoChimp]

Under the dash with plastic between is fine and only the windscreen above no metal.

[@vietrambo7604]

Does AndroidAuto work with the 2012 Toyota 86 GT model?

[@AutoChimp]

Yes if you replace the entire unit the Android Auto is in the new unit.

[@JuanPerez-yy5hr]

How long have you been installing for and we're did you work before

[@AutoChimp]

Been installing for 17 years, I started Carbon in 2008 previously work at multiple top end stores.

[@andrewcunanan3598]

do i have to remove the car battery ?

[@AutoChimp]

No

[@giovannireyes5159]

will you guys sell this for USA vehicles?

[@AutoChimp]

The DDX917WS you are after? Kenwood doesn't have it in the USA already?

[@giovannireyes5159]

CarbonCarSystems we dont even have last years 916ws.... we can only buy ebay ones that are region locked

[@AutoChimp]

Region locked as in the DVD playing? I can check out the units and find out.

[@giovannireyes5159]

CarbonCarSystems region lock on dvd only... but i cant find a retailer for the 917ws

[@xKlengen]

[@NatesEscape]
