I stumbled across this because i was looking for the gs80. I haven’t watched your videos in 5 years or so, 4 minutes in and it’s like meeting an old friend. Blade trick never gets boring ❤

[@soundman_caraudio]

WHAT UP DUDES?!?!?! LET ME KNOW WHAT Y'ALL THINK OF TODAY'S EXPERIMENT!!! LOV EYOU GUYS!! SEE YOU AGAIN SOON!! BE SURE TO FIND ME ON TIKOK!!

[@g-funk484]

it was crap

[@AngelChavez-fz5nk]

And you are the step son ???

[@lindellparker3659]

Great video !!

[@psementalist]

Your a car audio legend

[@Chevyepic]

Just got this head unit haven’t installed it but was excited when I saw the premier this morning. I’m going to watch the video now and let you know what I think

[@raulofalltrades5023]

I had the same situation. Here is how i got it to work… the white apple device you got needs a 5 volt 2amp source. Get a power supply that connects to your sigarrett lighter that has an output of 5 volts 2amps and plug to the white apple device and you should be able to charge your ipad using that apple addapter and use the HDMI option too. We all need the help we can get. So good luck bud!

[@clittle1559]

what would I do to make a Samsung tab work I do have a new eclipse 8v head unit I was thinking of using what type of line converter would I use or does audio contole carry somthing . I'd actually be getting this exact dash made from ole dick fiddlerdouggie🤘🏽

[@shawnshen9524]

Then why do not direct charge to the iPad . This man need the usb port to iPod music to the head unit and charging at same time. He doesn’t need HDMI port.

[@RobertL78]

If only Eclipse had stayed in the game. Had the 8 volt pre out head units. Awesome quality.

[@atmosphericpressure3560]

ah Fujitsu Ten

[@darrenlee1765]

favorite head unit's ever, and the titanium line of sub's were ahead of their time. What ever happened? Why did they close?

[@smnkm4ehfer]

Fuck I miss my eclipse stuff. 2 titanium 10's and an eclipse HU was part of my 1st system in my 1st vehicle.

[@clittle1559]

I have a CD8455 still in the box I bought it from some dude a few years back it was never used for like 80$ 👍🏼

[@CristoferMagana]

My dads truck still has a cd5423 from 2003 6 5v preouts, I’m telling him when he sells the truck I’ll buy the radio and buy an $80 pioneer in its place haha.

[@moasto02]

Everybody loves what you did, Doug!

[@chrclmnky]

Those 4 rules are on point.

[@steelresilience]

I was making your creepy, "ooooooooooo!" Noise at work today and thought of you. Gimme a noise!

[@inerceptor]

The Sony CDX-C90 was a legendary unit. Clarion DRX 9255 and DRZ 9255 was a legend as well.

[@therandumbcarguy]

As a car guy from the 80’ sony had great tape decks. Their xplod were a good unit that didn’t skip and it was inexpensive..

[@sherkhan808]

But looked sham.

[@akbarhash]

It is the high voltage of the quick charger that has damaged the USB2. You can go with a slightly older charger with 5V 2a or 5V 3a. It will charge the device and play music too.

[@h8h81]

Pretty sure it's backwards compatible.

[@akbarhash]

@@h8h81 Yes. USB C is backwards compatible but with PD(power delivery) if higher voltage is negotiated on one end then it will be delivered on the power line (red) and since it is being used in sync with the headunit (meaning three way between charger, headunit and ipad), the headunit is not able to handle the higher voltage. Which is why when we used to design for USB previously all components would be rated for 5v but now if you design for USB we have to rate all components for 20v.

[@tayler2396]

@@akbarhash Thanks. Do you mean that is the reason he received the "USB Overload" message? I ask because I bought the same head unit, and although I'm not trying to do anything fancy with an iPad, I get the same error message most of the time when I plug in my iPhone 11 directly into the rear USB with a lightning cable. Thoughts?

[@robmartin5382]

I got the same message with the same deck just using my F iPhone. I had to plug into the front and I didn’t want cords hanging all over my dash. WTF Sony?

[@martinharming1460]

To bad almost no new units have rear usb for that clean install. I run an old 80-prs, rear usb charges my ipad, auto start stops playback and it has steering wheel controls.

[@SUME3R]

Ma mans got some good taste in music I see.

[@jeremyhearn8941]

I'm 1:52 in and I'm super stoked for the 100w x4! Time for some 6x9's everywhere with that kind of power. No cap

[@concreetbloc]

If I'm not wrong it is 45rms cea certified, and you can bridge the rear channels and add a lpf to make it a sub channel with 90rms. The headunit does get pretty hot tho and there have been problems from people running this headunit using stock power wires because it draws 20 amps.

[@scamchan]

removing all my 100w amps from my ride now LOL

[@emjay230]

15A fuse xD 20W sinus

[@scamchan]

@@concreetbloc Stock power wires isn't the issue. You have a head unit that can't do the job properly.

[@cdshawn]

@@concreetbloc anybody who hooked this deck up with Factory wires are idiots....It requires at least 10 gauge wire directly from the battery.

[@MikeInNorCal]

The black and white cut scenes are THE BEST!

[@nezzydawg]

Dude I haven’t watched you in years . Somehow I got unsubscribed . Your still one of the funniest dudes on this site 😂

[@jamierice5940]

Turns out my actual comment turned into a book. Anyways you are my favorite you tube channel. Wish i was you for a day. Lol.

[@JamsCarAudio]

Thinks

[@PHUSII]

nice old style soundman video, now lets see the bass !

[@thebassstream]

Could use a "active" USBC extension cable where you can Inject power from a different source but have your data going to the stereo. Just have to go USBC to Lighting.

[@lullabies7441]

Dude, I’ve just started looking up car audio DIY, so all this is new to me, but I love that you pointed out the CAF guy is the Mark Zuckerberg of car audio😂. That’s the first thing I thought when I saw that guy!

[@bruth6138]

You know what that is, Doug? That’s the hot setup.

[@DavidSchmidt04]

I would recommend a USB C to USB-C PD cable. PD=Powerdelivery. This is the standard for Thunderbolt and USB-C. Anker makes a good one and good cables.

[@thebestmoose1]

The testing was good it told you what not to do. Please someone ask for a rotating iPad dash kit I would like to see how the sound man builds it beautiful craftsmanship👍👍👍

[@HAMMER_2.2]

use the universal swivel mount from ProClip USA. mount an Otterbox case to the swivel and put your iPad in the case. simple and clean, rotatable and can swivel

[@brendanl8177]

Awesome video 🇦🇺👌keep them coming 😂

[@chasentrophies]

$300 for that head unit??? Thats a $99 situation from what I'm seeing 😒 killer video funny as always, glad I made it back haha I found your videos again on tiktok

[@adaboy4z]

Sweet! I'm waiting on this Deck to put in my 58 Bel Air. Last Sony deck I purchased was in 93, a tape deck.

[@derrickharris8050]

Just glad to see you back on the channel

[@maccustoms2295]

Hilarious as always great video thanks for doing this most people wouldn't go through all the trouble to test things and share them for everyone to see. Especially with all the other projects you have going on. Have a great weekend. Thanks for sharing

[@MIC-LS]

Thank you for this vid, very helpful!!!!!!! now I know what to do.

[@Dingleberry1856]

Something like this may help. Found on Amazon. Active USB Hub, WLXKJY Aluminum 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub with 4 USB 3.0 Data Transfer Ports, USB Splitter with Independent Switch and 36W (12V/3A) Power Adapter

[@jesscneal]

Thanks for the Tuesday chuckle Douglas 😀

[@charliehodgdon3060]

I love the soundeffects! I missed them,but your videos with the camera boy are funny also!

[@user-hr3fx5qq1e]

youre wild man: wutang to some jazz standard

[@goblinphreak2132]

I am a huge sony fanboy. I actually want them to release a normal head-unit in the ES line instead of that stupid giant ass screen.... overpriced in my opinion and way too bulky. Give me a standard single or double din and I am sold. This whole screen crap instead of buttons is getting old real quick. All the new electric cars are mostly touch screen like buttons or screen and it honestly sucks. physical buttons will always be king.

[@gregoryn9428]

Does anyone actually use their steering wheel controls? I've been opting out of getting those harnesses since day 1

[@Nthestix]

I’m currently using your iPad mini 6 dash kit. I run (no head unit) iPad mini 6 gen> Topping D10s Hi Res DAC Digital coax > AudioConrtrol DM 608> to my amps. The DM-698 is mounted behind the iPad in my dash I came up with that idea all by myself WORLDS FIRST😂. Got it all hooked together with an Anker USB-C Hub instead of the apple kit. The topping is an amazing option if you are running a DSP. It’s only $109 and they USB-C hub was $100 but you can get one with less ports for a lot cheaper…

[@realweston]

Gotta hit up Down4sound man! My girlfriend recently said my sound system sounds like when you put your phone in a cup to make the music louder. 😅 OUCH! 😂

[@jeremyhearn8941]

Ken is wise. The fact that Ken wouldn't for someone like you, means Kenwood for me!

[@PoonFlavoredTang]

I have the RSX-GS9 just sitting in my closet in mint condition. Thinking about putting it into my golf cart.

[@charliehodgdon3060]

The little panel on the left has a face! 🤣 🤣

[@chadco75]

So I have the same set up in my XB. Rafa made it a few years ago. The Sony head unit I have shows the same overload message but it WILL hook up eventually you just have to either keep cycling through the different programs or keep turning your car off and on until it does. It sucks but once it connects and you don’t remove the iPad it stays connected. It’s done it since I’ve installed it.

[@DrinaDayz]

need more videos like this, can you test other headunits for more options

[@CptnRedBeard007]

Any solid solution for a back up cam to the iPad yet? I remember an episode way back where Rafa used one but can’t for the life of me remember what episode it was. Putting one in my 21 crosstrek

[@nadavleor]

I you wish to have charger and data transfer I would use type C dock from anker. I use it for my phone to connect it to my main screen and add USB drives and charge it all in the same time. one port in it for charging with the type C PD-IN(propobly stands for power delivery) second type C for data. there is also 2 USB A and HDMI and RJ45.

[@JakeOfALL]

I loved my Sony ES

[@j.a.r.family2576]

My daughter randomly takes over the car play while in driving and plays zombies 3 . Drives me bonkers.

[@wesleyevans8368]

Im somewhat new to the speaker upgrade world. I just bought a pair of Infinity 822MLW speakers for my boat. 2-8" 2 way, rated 150 RMS and 400 Max each. Do you think this head unit alone is enough to power both of those with decent sound? No other speakers/sub involved

[@Bewefau]

What if you wanted to play CD's ? Can you still get those if you wanted to use this player ?

[@aaronedwards4755]

Not the zombies 3 soundtrack. 😂😂😂

[@hobotechMASTER]

i have that apple dongle thing too. seems to only work when the hdmi is plugged in as well. i havent messed with it enough.

[@bigdaddy6879]

Sooooo an Alpine Double Din isn’t gonna cut it? I’m not buying another head unit just to use an iPad.

12:05 in had me busting up. I must have played it back 15 times. Great video. Reminded me of Zach Galifianakis in the Hangover.

[@sethranney]

I wonder if the extra length of the rear USB cable is causing the issue. I have seen that happen in the past.

Best to Bluetooth it and wire the charge. Ports should remain open to plug n play.

What other headunits would work, or what specs should the headunit have

Do you have a video for a 2008 Chevy Silverado iPad dash installed. Thanks

[@whitecompany18]

Got the same set-up in my van, get a lot of noise through that cable on mine 🤔

[@paul8699]

Noise frequently steams from grounding issue. Check those then start isolating equipment. Plug straight into the amp, try the radio, put analog into the head unit. Then try different USB cables and sources. Make sure the head unit is getting good power too.

[@Dieselkilla6.0]

How much would one of these cost? I have a 04 F250 look to get one and why not just do a wireless charger

[@tildenhowie3605]

I think a I USB c splitter with two USB c to one USB c will work

[@kamoto6493]

In theory couldn’t you use the hdmi to go to a hdmi to digital audio converter and then to the head unit or dsp would it work that way

[@improvisewitme]

Do companies still make high end, audiophile style head units? Pioneer had the Stage 4 stuff a few years back. And I think Dennon had one as well. I haven't seen any.
