2016 Toyota Camry. The first thing you should realize is that you have one of the finest cars ever made. Same for the 2017 Camry.

[@ProjectDIY2]

Agreed 👍🏻

[@Term-limits]

What do you say about a 2015? No difference?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Good cars also 😉

[@jamesbeckett1602]

Huh?!? One of the finest cars ever made? Compared to what? Please tell that to my 2016 Camry with the slipping slushbox of a transmission, and brake rotors that won't stay true for longer than 20K miles, and the driver's door lock solenoid that works only when it feels like it, etc. etc. etc. And, yes, I've kept up with maintenance religiously and only installed quality replacement parts. Overall, it's just an OK car -- nothing remarkable -- and certainly not the finest car I've ever owned. Consumer Reports loves to rave about how wonderful Toyota and Honda vehicles are, but I double-dog dare you to do a quick Google search of "2016 Toyota Camry problems" (or feel free to substitute whatever model/year you feel like), or "Honda transmission problems." Glad you're madly in love with your Camry, but we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

[@botsareeverywhere]

⁠@@jamesbeckett160275k miles before I even had to replace the brake pads in my 16 Camry Hybrid, only needed rotors because my wife drove for weeks on worn pads, haven’t had any other issues with mine, sorry you got a lemon

[@CombativeLlama]

Looked at a few mounting brackets for aftermarket stereos for the 16 Camry and most of the reviews talk about how poor the directions are for installation. Glad I found this video, definitely going to reference it when I finally get around to doing my own install. Thanks for the upload!

[@ProjectDIY2]

No problem!

[@mikesantoro2184]

It was almost perfect. I followed every step of taking it apart. Thank You, you made my job easier. I bought the same Roadanvi Radio and I took the brackets off of the Factory Radio and added it to the Roadanvi radio. It was a perfect fit. With the metal brackets on, I got the radio more secured in the dash. with the (4) 10mm bolts. That was my only discrepancy with your installation. Otherwise, I followed your directions to a tee. Thank You! Also, the climate control gets screwed into the bracket too. More secured Climate Control.

[@ProjectDIY2]

Awesome! Thanks for the kind words!!

[@beezer2430]

Thank you for really showing us the details on doing this upgrade. You are very clear and actually explain step by step process. I appreciate that for dummies like me. 🤣

[@ProjectDIY2]

You’re welcome and thank you for the kind words!!

[@ItsMrAnthony-8a]

Nice video! I shouted you out in my first ever video a few weeks ago. I installed a RockGhost V2 in my '14 Camry. Please pardon I got the facts of the shoutout a lil confused but thanks, nonetheless for all of your content! 😅

[@ProjectDIY2]

You’re welcome and thank you for the shoutout!!

[@sebastiannava4202]

thanks for the run through about to install mine tomorrow

[@ProjectDIY2]

You’re welcome!

[@sebastiannava4202]

where do i put the gnd connector

[@ProjectDIY2]

I pointed it out at 21:17

[@ProjectDIY2]

Either one of those 2 screws at the top.

[@ProjectDIY2]

Sorry, that should have been 20:56

[@jamesbeckett1602]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like Roadanvi sent you this stereo for free. That said, if I were to fork over nearly $500 on an aftermarket stereo, I wouldn't be quite as forgiving as you concerning the fit and finish of the trim on this unit. I'm not overly OCD, but rewinding the video and seeing how nice and tight the trim fits with the factory stereo, then fast-forwarding toward the end, and noticing the gaps on the new stereo trim where it meets the dash -- left me cringing 😬. I mean, good on you for scoring a free deck but for me, I couldn't live with those gaps.

[@ProjectDIY2]

Don’t blame ya. Fit and finish is definitely not perfect.

[@TheGheseExperience]

@@ProjectDIY2so they did give you a free unit?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Yes

[@robwhiff3411]

Great job men very well made video, how’s the unit been working so far ? I’m actually looking good at the same one but with 4gb ram 64gb rom

[@ProjectDIY2]

Still working great!! Thanks for watching!!

[@LiuliuQiu-mh4zq]

Thank for you video, but I have a problem after I installed,the backup camera resolution is very low ,can you tell me how to fix it😂?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Are you using the stock camera? If so, I’m not sure what would cause that. I would contact the manufacturer.

[@dangeles95]

Great video! Did the tool to remove the panels come with the radio or do I get that separately?

[@ProjectDIY2]

The tool did not come with it. Here’s the link to a set of decent trim removal tools that I have: amzn.to/3T8LGaJ

[@dylandouglas93]

I have a 2015 Camry with the JBL package. Do you know if the Atoto S8 Ultra 10.1 would fit? It is a double DIN as stated on anazon. Also what wire harness would i need to buy?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Sorry, I’m not familiar with that brand. You would need to call the head unit manufacturer.

[@vincefiore]

Thanks for this great video! The only problem is that the factory backup camera isn’t working, how did you plug it in?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Watch the video at 16:11 The yellow “Camera” harness connection hooks to the “Camera In” cable on the radio. Also, some have been able to unhook the battery for a few mins to reset everything to get it to work. Try that first.

[@vincefiore]

@@ProjectDIY2 Great, thanks for the fast reply!

[@ProjectDIY2]

@vincefiore No problem. I just happened to have my phone in my hand 😂

[@James4life0687]

First off, thank you for the video. Will the backup camera work?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Yes, the stock backup camera works.

[@stevenmaynes5413]

Just slide the boot straight down not hard and then unscrew knob

[@kevinmcfarland1913]

Does the car settings menu still work with this installed? I have a ‘16 hybrid and am wondering if I would lose the native menus including the hybrid menu.

[@ProjectDIY2]

I can’t speak for hybrids as I have no experience with installing in one. However, there are menus that show mpgs etc. but they seem to be more gasoline centered.

[@Horhay21323]

Did you have any issues with FM radio reception? I installed mine and most of the stations come in but signal seems weak

[@ProjectDIY2]

I haven’t had any issues.

[@christopherbsavage]

Would this be same as an EKAT head unit? It looks the same as what I have which is EKAT and not ROADNAVI. Thanks.

[@ProjectDIY2]

I’m not really sure, sorry.

[@gavintoomey5245]

Does the factory usb cable still work? And does that allow it to connect to CarPlay as well?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Yes, one of the plugs on the head unit has an adapter for the USB port.

[@gavintoomey5245]

Sweet! I also have seen that there’s a bad gap between the stereo and the climate controls. Is that true? And I’ve also heard there’s an annoying little robot dude that’s on the screen and never goes away

[@ProjectDIY2]

The gap between the climate controls is not great. There’s no android robot that I’ve seen other than the start up animation. But it goes away as soon as it boots.

[@gavintoomey5245]

Sweet sorry I keep having questions but I’m on the fence about buying. Are you also able to keep all of the controls like steering wheel and the car options controls?

[@ProjectDIY2]

No worries! Yes, all of the steering wheel controls still work. And you can program them to do other things too if you want.

[@dvdsteve40]

thank you for the video

[@ProjectDIY2]

No problem!

[@MiamiElectricReview]

have you found issues with the backup camera mine wont connect no matter what i do

[@ProjectDIY2]

Several have had issues including me. I have a video on fixing this: Dasaita G12 Backup Camera Fix kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH28qISflMZ7nLc

[@thacrownprince]

Thanks for the detail video. I noticed you had the carabc decoder. I am contemplating if I should upgrade the stereo or continue using the decoder. Do you think it's worth it? The decoder works most of the time for wireless carplay, but the screen quality is terrible and I've had some minor glitches that are annoying. I do like the OEM look so that's why I am hesitant. Thanks for the input.

[@ProjectDIY2]

Definitely worth it for the screen alone. Much brighter, much clearer and much larger!

[@mikesantoro2184]

I just replaced my factory radio, it was so worth it. Took a couple of hours, but was well worth it with Apple Car play and a huge map for directions. Definitely do it, it was worth the money!

[@CB-gn8pf]

When I set mine up the radio is not connecting. I get only static for every station. Do you maybe know what I missed?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Probably the antenna connection.

[@biggdee83]

Hows this thing doing a couple months later? Any complaints?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Nope. Works great!

[@mcool116]

Thanks for video sir! Just wanted to ask you how is it holding up until now? Any issues? I am planning of getting this also for my 17 Camry. Steering also works right? You said the apple carplay sometimes disconnect. Are you connected through your hotspot from your phone? TIA!

[@ProjectDIY2]

You’re welcome! It’s still working fine. The steering wheel buttons work perfect and you can even change them through an app on the stereo. I am connected wirelessly through Bluetooth and WiFi. It will disconnect maybe once out of every 20 times but I can connect it right back.

[@mcool116]

Were you able to install netflix on yours? I wanted to install but it says my device not compatible. How about the simcard. It says 2 sim card but I only see one. Thanks!

[@ProjectDIY2]

@mcool116 I didn’t try Netflix. I didn’t use a SIM card either. It’s my wife’s car and she just uses car play which doesn’t need a sim.

[@jcellio7604]

Did you have to do anything special getting the radio to connect with the back up camera?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Yes, several people have had backup camera issues after install. Unhooking the battery for 10 minutes usually fixes this.

[@jcellio7604]

@@ProjectDIY2 does the radio use the existing backup camera or do you have to route a different camera?

[@ProjectDIY2]

@jcellio7604 It uses the stock backup camera

[@BrentonMartin-gm4pl]

Hey man so I got mine all installed. Thank you for the guide but it won’t boot it keeps restarting itself any advice?

[@ProjectDIY2]

That sounds like an issue with the unit. Contact the manufacturer or get it replaced if you bought it through Amazon.

[@mgomez5606]

You have alot of patience.

[@ProjectDIY2]

😂

[@carlosdavidduran13]

2017 Toyota Camry, everyting is connected but the screen doesnt turn on. Any reason?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Double check all your wiring connections. Disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes and hook it back up. Did your old radio work?

[@brianbaker4973]

Did you use the 4G+64G or the 8G+128G? We’re curious what the difference is and if it’s worth the extra money? TIA!

[@ProjectDIY2]

Mine is the 8/128 version. 8G of RAM and 128G of storage. The 8G RAM version will have a snappier user interface vs the 4G version and more storage space if you wish to store music on the head unit.

[@muzaffar97]

Im thinking about this brand and Dasaita. I would like to know your opinion on this. I read some bad reviews on this particular head unit. What would you say is it worth it? Thank you.

[@ProjectDIY2]

I have both this one in my Camry and the Dasaita unit in my RAV4. The only issues I’ve had with either is CarPlay sometimes disconnects. Usually turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on my phone then turning them back on takes care of this. Other than that, they’ve both been great.

[@Kevomania98]

Did you also plug in the front camera plug? I have bought the same one as you and my backup camera doesn’t work at random times

[@ProjectDIY2]

Nope, I don’t have a front camera. I would suggest unhooking your battery for a few minutes and see if that helps. I think others have had this issue.

[@Kevomania98]

Thank you so much for your help!

[@ProjectDIY2]

Thank you for watching!

[@bhaganiasaab5027]

Sir i have question 🙋‍♂️? On ebay these screens are cheaper should i buy this one or cheaper one please tell me? Am waiting

[@ProjectDIY2]

Wish I could help you… I don’t know anything about the one from eBay. Sorry.

[@ItsMrAnthony-8a]

If you haven't purchased the cheaper model from ebay, DON'T! I did and ended up yanking it out and installing a Joying. You're better off paying the price and getting a Roadnavi, Joying, Daisata, etc. Those cheap units are nothing but a headache!

[@jonderrick25]

Can you use the stock back up camera and microphone from the Camry

[@ProjectDIY2]

You can use the stock backup camera but not the microphone. The stereo comes with a built in microphone and an external microphone

[@hhattingh]

How does this compare to the Dasaita's?

Are you trying to listen to the radio? If so, and you can’t tune in a station, check to make sure you hooked up the antenna connection.

@@ProjectDIY2 ok thanks! ill check that out.

Can I connect this to my factory installed Sirius XM satellite connection?

[@ProjectDIY2]

Sorry, I don’t have that option installed so I can’t say for sure.

[@Horhay21323]

No , you can connect to Sirius from your phone you do need to have the Sirius app open on the headunit and phone while using it though that’s the only drawback I hope that helped

Yes, and it has an app built in that allows you to remap those buttons if you choose to.

@ProjectDIY2 Thank you . I've researched saw a lot on the left side controls working nothing on the phone side of it ..

[@ProjectDIY2]

@Blvdballer Hmm now that you mention it… seems like I do remember there being an issue with ones of the buttons. This is my wife’s car so I don’t drive it. I’ll double check those buttons and get back to you. 😉

[@Blvdballer]

@ProjectDIY2 I would appreciate that very much. I like my stock radio feature that I can just push the talk button and tell it to call one of my contacts. I'm hoping I will be able to do that still and talk through the unit .

[@danielbrito4735]

So did u use a sim card

[@ProjectDIY2]

No, since we primarily use CarPlay, a data connection is not necessary. iPhone uses its own data connection and displays the info on the screen and pushes the audio over Bluetooth.

[@flowafoodspot876]

You don’t need to take it out but you should unhook the positive terminal from the battery.

GPS works great! I mostly use CarPlay so navigation uses the phone’s GPS. I’ve used the GPS on the unit itself one time and it works just as good as the phone GPS.
