Fantastic in depth installation video, I have my eye on one of these units but I think I might look for an installer for my car. Well done and thank you
Great video, thanx to you I knew what to do. I had to remove the clips on the back of the screen and unit as you did, and cut a piece of the dash topper as you did. Very informative really helpful.
Awesome in-depth installation video! Do you also give troubleshooting tips? I have problems with Bluetooth module and amplifier unit of 2012 Honda crv. Thanks for this tutorial!
Hi Retsamtv, thanks for watching my video and providing feedback. Unfortunately I don’t have that level of technical expertise to help with your queries :(
Thank you so much for putting this all this together. Do you have any more information on how the stock reverse camera connects to the android head unit? I am trying to figure out which wires need to be converted from the stock connector to an standard yellow video connector and which wire triggers the reverse camera to activate. Many thanks.
Hi Peter, the wiring harness that came with it hooks up to the OEM reverse camera so there’s not much fiddling I need to do get the reverse camera to display the video on the headunit. Does your CRV come with a OEM reverse camera or are you installing one yourself?
I just got the latest Joying Head Unit with Android 12, have the same Aussie CRV Head Unit as in this video, and also got the wiring harness (B cable option) that had mis-matching sockets, and missing sockets marked 1,2,3 & 7 as marked in your diagram. My Cambus also does not pickup any data (doors open, lights on, steering wheel controls.) Joying have been quite responsive, so hopefully I'll get a replacement harness. I like what you did with separating the screen from the unit when mounting, I think I'll do the same. Glad I found your video.
Hi Blis, Im glad you find this video helpful. And yes, I fond their support staff really helpful and responsive. How did you go fitting the hazard light? Im curious if you had a hard time like I did…
@@AutosNGizmos I had no problem as I have the 10.1" screen version and the hazard button does not protrude into the dash cavity. Also, I removed the OEM GPS and mag mounted the joying gps in its place. The magnet seems strong enough to hold it in place.
Hi Blisoft, did you get this resolved? If so would you mind sharing which canbus model/harness they sent you and the CAN setting you used pls? I too have the same Aussie CRV head unit but replaced it with a different Android unit to the Joying. The harness they sent me has connections for all the OEM cables (except GPS as it has its own), but for the life of me I cant get the steering wheel controls to work. The seller is investigating but everything they've suggested so far hasn't worked. Thanks
@@WeaponAU Joying sent me the same harness shown in this video, which has a Raise decoder marked "12-14 CRV (Malaysia)". Oddly enough when I first powered the unit up after connection, still with the "Simple" decoder settings still set from the previous harness, the SWCs (i.e. Vol -) worked for a few seconds, then stopped. Despite changing the setting to "Raise -12 Crv/Civic" as instructed, the SWCs have not worked since. Also doesn't recognise doors opening. Joying have yet to find a solution and have gone quiet.
Hi, Great video! Just wondering if you ever got the steering wheel controls working? If you did can you update with what needed to be done to get it working? Thank you
Hi there, no unfortunately I havent done this yet although the supplier have provided free of charge the replacement wiring harness. I dont own this car so its just difficult to organise the install more than anything.
Hi @davetea here is the link to the photo of the new wiring harness from the Joying people for your reference… th-cam.com/users/postUgkxf13dqUd9N2OZ5NIvodS_pt1J6Z9E2d2f
Awesome video. I really needed this because I am not very techy and this helped immensely. Thank you. Just one question. At about 36:45 you show another USB connector. What is it and what does it connect to and where? Thank you again and have a great day.
@philbeals4442 Hi Phil, that extra wiring harness is needed if your car has a USB port inside the centre armrest. Have a look at the 26:49 mark. It essentially connects that USB port into the Joying headunit so you can use it for charging or Carplay/Android Auto.
Hi Legend, Sorry I’m not sure if this Android system will be fully compatible with the 2016 facelift so you might need to check that with the seller to be sure. With regards to the USB ports, yes it worked after the install and I can use for charging and Carplay/Android Auto. There is a special cable which you can see in timecode 2:48
If the main display and the small displays are the same this mine, then chances are this might also be compatible with yours. But best check with the seller for compatibility before purchase. I had issues with the steering wheel control which seller has provided an updated wiring harness for free.
@@AutosNGizmos I found a seller in Sydney that had all the harnesses with the head unit. Also no need to make a cut in the dash panel to fit the hazard button.
@@riffmeisterkl Nice, do you mind sharing the name of the Sydney based seller here so other CRV owners can but from them too? Also nice that you didn’t have to fiddle with the hazard lights. I hate it when I had to cut off plastics in the car…
Hi @@riffmeisterkl , do you mind sharing the name of the seller please and also any details about the harness (a pic?) and the canbus decoder name/model. I have a 2013 CRV VTI-L 2.4L with same head unit and iMid display. I bought a different android head unit and even though the harness has all the plugs to match the factory harness I cannot get the SWC to work. Thanks
Hi Stephanie, firstly thanks for watching my video. With regard to your question, I can confirm both wired and wireless Apple Carplay work with this headunit and it also support Bluetooth audio. So if you are an Apple iPhone user, you can either plug it in the USB, or use wireless Apple Carplay. And with Apple Carplay, it uses both Bluetooth and Wireless to stream audio and content to the headunit. There is an initial setup and handshake that happens but once setup, it works seamlessly. Unfortunately, I dont own any Android phones so Im unable to verify if and how Android Auto works on the headunit. And since filming this video, I noticed the seller has discontinued the 8-inch models. Its a shame since I liked having buttons on either side of the screen as it make it look symmetrical. I also had a look at Joying’s 9-inch models and it stated in the specs that it support wireless on both Carplay and Android Auto. However, I’d encourage you to directly contact the seller to confirm the details. I hope this was helpful and be sure to check back in here if you have any further questions or comments. Good luck on your project!
Thanks for the video. I did the instalation and my stearing wheel control does not work. Also parking camera only works on top monitor (not on main unit) Any advise? TIA
Hi Jonas, with regards to the reverse camera: 1) if the headunit does not automatically switch to show the reverse camera video input, then a potential source if issue there could be that headunit has an incorrect Canbus setting in the BIOS. Have a look at the BIOS settings page and look for something like “CAN Type” setting. 2) With regards to the steering wheel buttons, I also encountered the same issue. I was communicating with the seller about this and they provided me with another wiring harness which didn’t work either. And since this is a friend’s car and they are not bothered by that issue, it was a bit difficult to troubleshoot it. So I would suggest that you reach out to the seller and explain to them the issue you have with the steering wheel buttons not working. I hope this is helpful. Cheers! 😊
Hi Kieneonta, according to the Joying Aliexpress store, they have models that would support CRV’s with AD screen. But best if you contact them directly to confirm. You can use the product link in the description box of my video so it takes you directly to the Joying product you are after. Cheers 😊
Hi there, I tried installing the new harness yesterday and unfortunately it didnt work. I’ve informed the seller about this but I haven’t received a response yet. Might I suggest you watch this video from another youtuber. He seemed to install the same headunit from Joying but I can see his steering wheel control buttons are working. This is his video: th-cam.com/video/90UcjAd9SQI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wyPLFo6qlFcy_qhv
Hi there My OEM STEREO SYSTEM exactly same as your And my android same as your But they send me different connect wiring harness Can you please send me the link or photo I need to buy connect wiring harness same as your Thank you
Hi Dennis, I suspect those two cables might be for the steering wheel control because I’m having issues with them after this install. I‘ll update you after I get the new wiring harness from the seller and install it in the car
Hi Alfonso, thanks for visiting my channel. I don’t the the SKU for this product but the URL in the description of the video should take you straight to the product page. With regards to your question if it is compatible to US Honda CRV, it’s best to reach out to Joying. You can also do this via the product page by clicking the “Message” icon. Good luck and make sure to check back in here if you have further questions.
That’s a good question. The car that I worked on didn’t have that feature so I can’t know for sure. Might be worth asking the seller if this feature is supported by their product
Hi RationalCreed, Unfortunately I have not notice if it gets hot. But in saying this, I also have not encountered any issue which may suggest its overheating during normal use.
Hi Ryan, when Joying was still selling the 8” model for the CRV, I bought it for AU$650. But they have discontinued that and only sells the 9” model (starts from ~AU$713) or 10” model (starts from ~AU$728). Check out the product link in the description box of the video. Cheers 😊

Great video. Did the factory reverse camera work with supplied connectors?
Yes it does, plug and play.
Great video. It’s looks like easy on you😂. Thanks
