Step by Step How to install Android Head Unit in Toyota Corolla

[@LadyWeasel]

Thanks!! I really wish KZbin had a 5 star rating system for videos. This one is 5+ stars. Clearly explained, easy to follow.

[@maimoua5740]

Bought one and had my boyfriend helped me install it. Unfortunately mine did not come with the microphone. Can’t wait to use this bad boy!!

[@RSole9999]

I have the same Corolla and the same radio. This installation video was perfect. My only negative about this radio and all similar radios compared to the stock radio is that for certain functions such as changing the volume and pre-selected stations, you have to take your eyes off the road for much longer. To lower the old radio volume, all you had to do was feel for the knob while keeping your attention on the road.

Jus get steering wheel controls

[@professorjack2099]

@@rommell9666it’s not a as fast. There are some specific instances where music needs to turn down - not off - on a dime. Rolling down window to talk to someone, ambulance driving by, entering a curvy highway ramp etc. having to hold the steering wheel control down for a full 5-8 seconds is a lot more painful than it sounds. In that case the original head unit is an upgrade unless you can find an aftermarket radio with a volume knob

[@mtadc1545]

The Joying JY-TZ163N4 has the volume knob which makes it way easier. You can push on the knob to mute otherwise turning the knob changes the volume.

[@saeljhonnes7688]

Guys please keep in mind that you most be careful when removing the dashboard trims aswell as AC vent cover, which can break due to the plastic weakness due to prolonged sun exposure. Even the smalles force can breake these things and they can cost you anywhere from 36-300$ dollars to replace depending on the damage. The upper trim with ac vent cover is a hot part in the market as of 11/29/2021 If you are fortunate to remove it safely give yourself a pat in the back you saved yourself 300$+ on replacement parts. on a DIY.

[@loganpark8135]

That's true my car have the plastic upper the AC vent destroyed due to sun exposure, the price for replacement is $200 USD in my country

Hey! Your video was recommended on my front page of YT today. Watched, liked, subscribed too. Excellent video, it will help me out once i decide which head unit to buy.. I mainly want to use Waze and a music player from my phone. By the way - still have the car? How's the unit holding up 3 years later? Gotta check out your other vids now - thanks a lot for posting this one, bookmarked for later!

[@deathrow6750]

Is there a way to hook up the stock aux cable on the bottom left next to the passenger airbag display to use apple CarPlay with or do you need to route the wires to the bottom like you did in the video?

[@Loverofengines101]

you can hook the aux cable anywhere you want. but make sure it doesn't damage your airbag system so do not put too close to the airbag🙏🏾

[@lloydPT18]

@@Loverofengines101 hey brother, just installed today. Do you happen to know what is wrong with unit regarding reverse camera. I made sure everything is wired correctly and all of the wires/connectors are functioning properly. The camera does turn on when I put the car into reverse the problem is the head unit itself does not actually change the source so it can show the camera when I do put it into reverse, the screen doesn't change. So the issue here it seems that the head unit doesn't know when I put into reverse.

[@7janai]

Hello, I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla, I would like to do what you have demonstrated and I’m wondering if you are able to add a backup camera to this device as well.

[@gillarceo]

Thankyou for this! Just installed one and its great!

[@shahphone]

Have you found a setting where you can set the power to stay on for, say, 30s after the power is turned off? Other Android radios I have used have it burried in the settings somewhere. That way, when you go from ACC to IGN it won't reboot.

[@billyshepard5514]

Can you use Waze or Google maps if you connect to home wifi to install apps and then no internet and use GPS? The only thing I didn't like you loose the CD-ROM drive

[@Loverofengines101]

Connect it to your phone Hotspot so you don't loose connection, I only connect it to Home wifi to download apps. out of the house I use my phone Hotspot for internet.

[@jonellaponte2570]
