Toyota Corolla 2014-2018 Apple Carplay Head Unit | How to Install (Beginner Friendly)

[@mckennydies2]

I bought and installed this and I'm very impressed with the look and feel of the head unit. The only issue I had was that the radio was getting no signal at all, but after connecting the antenna booster, the radio signal started coming through again. I highly recommend this unit if you are looking for a replacement.

[@TheSholon]

How did you connect the antenna booster? I can’t figure it out.

[@mckennydies2]

​ @Atul Rishi Included in the kit you got from buying this, you should have another group of AV cables that plug into the back of the unit. With mine, the plug was colored yellow and had a bunch of wires attached to it. One of those wires should be the same color of orange on the antenna he plugs in at 7:52. You connect those two wires, slide the plastic over the connection to lock the wires together and you should now be getting radio audio. If not, I couldn't tell you why.

Hi there, how has your unit been working for you so far? Any issues? I’m thinking of getting one but don’t know if i should look for another one since a few people had issues with this unit.

[@isaacboateng3645]

I love how you took time to explain every step. I definitely will install one.

[@JohnNguyenVincent]

glad it helped!

[@b.a.1854]

@@JohnNguyenVincent have you gotten an answer from dasaitA as to why you had to break off the tabs in the back to make it fit?

[@eversongoulao]

Vim aqui deixar meu depoimento. Assisti o vídeo, comprei exatamente como ele disse. Eu mesmo fiz a instalação, em casa, de noite, sem muita luz. Não tem erro. É tudo plug and play. Os conectores não tem um igual ao outro, então não tem como errar conectando um errado. Na primeira vez que conectei o carburador não funcionou os comandos do volante, aí achei que tinha algo de errado… já fiquei triste. Desconectei tudo, conectei denovo e pronto, funcionou tudo. Perfeito. Só não tive tempo ainda de instalar a câmera frontal. A qualidade da imagem é incrível. Comprei o de 3gb e 32 de armazenamento. Pode comprar sem medo. Pra desmontar o painel é a coisa mais simples do mundo. Com a mão mesmo você puxa e desencaixa tudo perfeitamente sem problemas.

[@sauloleal301]

Cara vi uns reviews no Amazon de outras marcas, porém bem semelhante a esse. Reviews dizendo que em 2 anos para de funcionar. Será que isso eh verdade?

[@ateekualeeyu6386]

Hi, This is lovely. My question is on this head unit does the voice command on the steering well works?

[@Ezq95]

I am installing a hikity 9 in 8 core 6gb 128gb in my 2018 Corolla SE. Different setup but very close. Great video

[@FDNY8231]

Thanks brother ... I bought a similar unit (less expensive) and your video was helpful with getting the old radio out. I also had to trim THREE tabs on the enclosure to get it to fit the dash too. It's almost like they didn't do their research prior to design. NOW if I can just find a video of setup and operation. Mine had two cables from the car side, and one cable on the radio side that connected nowhere. So the search continues ... Thanks ... BTW the radio I got is a Junsun V1 2Gx32G.

[@SarahCastro-z5n]

Is it not needed to attach the metal brackets from the oem display onto the new one or are the plastic clips enough?

[@eddyboh2723]

One question, what about the steering wheel buttons, which pin unit is that?

[@salomonp5111]

It improves the sound quality comparing to the OEM one or sounds the same?

[@jello3671]

Idk if the head unit he's installing is a dasiata branded one or not but if you do get the dasiata it has a built in amp. Nothing ridiculous but it pushes 50 watts to your 2 front 6.5" door speakers and the 2 rear 6x9 speakers. Most OEM head units only push out 10 watts per speaker. So if you get a dasiata it will push out 5 times the watts per speaker. 50 watts per speaker (dasiata) > 10 watts per speaker (OEM)

[@SeanKosari]

I wasn't able to get my steering wheel functions to work! the whole AC control thing doesn't pop up either!

[@theodoreward7242]

I install this myself and found it very easy but I’m running into some small issues such as the sound when I play music going in and out. Any ideas how to fix this problem or if I forgot to install anything. Please and thanks.

[@shiscock1]

Might be the speaker connections in the doors , pin connections on the wires to speakers tend to corrode

[@betsyjean-baptiste9042]

Hello, awesome video! Thank you. I purchased the unit and installed it but the back up camera and steering wheel controls don’t work. Can you please help. When I put the car in reverse it shows a yellow caution sign. For the wheel controls I can only program up and down and volume. Am I doing something wrong?

[@kdvu23]

You're lucky to even get the volume up and down button programmed on the steering wheel, I'm not getting any buttons working at all on my steering wheel. I'm wondering if there's any detailed instruction manual online?

[@qweston9066]

Hey man I ran into a problem with the Camry deck. Wondering if you could help me out. The lights on my gear shifter comes on for park and reverse after I put it back in park from a drive and the camera display stays on.

[@chill_oke]

Installed everything just like in the video but stock USB does not power up. Anyone know how to fix this? Also the power steering buttons does not work.

[@xtr013]

What about the bolts on the unit, did you screw those back in? It looks like this is just being held in by the clips.

[@JohnNguyenVincent]

Yup it's being held by the clips. It's strong enough tbh!

Is it possible to bolt it? I mean by removing the bracket from the old unit and placing on this new one? Kinda weary about just having it clipped on. Thanks for your earlier response!

My hengcheng pro s9 for my 2008 dodge caliber is great. It is almost the same as the joying, teyes c3, etc. My only issue is it only has subwoofer and front rca out. I am trying to connect my amplifier for rear speakers, but I will loose front/rear fade control. I am talking to the company to see if they can send the correct cable that has 2 rca outputs L+R and 1 mono sub output. Is this possible?

[@devinmcintyre3621]

What is the name of the radio you put in and the price and where did you get the kit ?

[@nateanth]

I just installed one today. That antenna booster needs to be connected or you wont get very good reception. There is another harness with a bunch of wires what had a plug related to the antenna and after connecting it reception was back to normal. The other thing i noticed was the GPS antenna in the location you installed it doesn’t get a signal for me

hey bro, i just installed mine, im having the same issue with the gps antena, did you figure out how to fix it?

[@idilmohamed_]

Does this unit work with the Toyota Corolla CE 2016? The one without the touch screen? Thank you.

I do know they make two versions. Pay attention to the shape of the hazard button, and airbag. Buy the one according to that.

[@CollapseDev]

Our stock Unit suddenly kept restarting forever. It was a very rainy last few weeks and it was working fine and then that happened. Honestly have no faith in the brand and local mechanics we go to, they seem to have no issue charging 1000$ just to inspect the car whereas the local ones keep imagining issues that have nothing to do with the problem. It's a horrible industry so we gotta DYI here.We are glad it still works however and our best option is to unplug and replug and check connections and see if that solves it. If not we may need to get a new one or the damage might be more internal.
