From 12:30 in you say it's better to install the apps directly rather than stream and it will sound better, I have the apps in my xtrons but nothing works until it has a Bluetooth connection from my mobile and the sound is definitely lower quality, how could I make this better?
Before anyone buys from this company make sure you read there reviews page😮 I had £500 worth in the basket (not including tax & shipping) So glad I read the reviews before wasting my money.
Two head units purchased and took like 80 days and 68 emails to replace a harness that shipped ripped up. Unit was good, service was ROUGH but they did resolve it eventually.
Thanks for the review. This unit is quite different from its Chinese equivalent. Please do a direct comparison review between this unit and one made in China. Also do a deep dive review on the sound connection of the unit as this seems to be a common issue especially for the W205. Thanks.
Ok i have a question: my question is the (joying 12.3 Inch Wide-Screen Car Radio Single Din 4G LTE Android 12 Head Unit With HDMI Output)... tht u previously reviewed earlier and this head unit which one is better... meaning if u had to choose between the two which one would u pick and why????
أنا عربي اتابعك وأستفدت منك أشياء كثيرة شكراً جزيلاً لك، ولكن أتمنى منك عند عملية تركيب شاشة على أي سيارة أن تقوم بتصوير طريقة الفك والتركيب من البداية لكي نفهم ونستفيد أكثر وشكرا ❤
for @saabunleashed this dude is basically saying that he would like you to include the installation part into the video as well. he also said thanks and is very polite about it.
Hey yeah, I have translate so I get the request, and it's very reasonable. I normally do the reviews in a Saab and already have a video guide showing aftermarket installation, so it's generally not required. Also did a guide in a Jeep. I'll do my best to detail the install method in the future when the cars are different.
You can install whatever map app you want along and they'll cover any regions. You can add parking sensors and reverse cam or even 360 cameras. And the CC4 is a different beast. If you were looking to buy something like the CC3, then yes, wait a few months for the CC4. But this Lux One is a different shape, specifically made for those German cars and a few others
@@SaabUnleashed Thanks for info, Was a little confused as blurb on Teyes website about the parking sensors said "currently, sensors only supported by cc3 +cc 2.. then underneath says Lux one device can be equiped with sensors (exc bmw, merc and audi).. I have a Corolla VAN, that has blind spots and didnt want the 360 cams, all I want really is a Nav that works "offline" in rural areas (van spec doesnt include Nav unit on this Toyota)
I have heard the name DAN mentioned a number of times, maybe he could help me sort out the facia bracket issue, etc. how to get in touch with him? Never mind....he eventually got in touch with me to try to sort out the Fascia issue.
Was looking at the android unit in the video but it’s very expensive. Has anyone used BM performance as this unit looks good any feedback would be appreciated 😊MERCEDES BENZ C CLASS GLC (2014-2020) 10.25 12.3" ANDROID MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY (W205 X253 C253)
I also have an XTrons…what a real POS. I’m extremely disappointed with it’s performance…no internet connection for nav and had to setup a mobile hotspot which was a costly out of pocket extra…very slow response when starting vehicle…boot up takes forever, and can’t watch movies unless you jailbreak the unit…i could go on…😂
@NickWebber-vp4pd How did you expect it to have internet access? All head units need a 4g sim or tethering for navigation unless you install your own GPS app. Personally I just use wireless Android Auto
@@SaabUnleashed I used it but the item had E class W212 L. All the others did not have the L I'm thinking it's left hand drive. I also can't see the package as delivered whether their is the appropriate plastic infill and support. This is the problem i've had for months now. I've found the infill separate £60. The C class had it. You showed it. It's a nightmare. I'll just wait awhile and see what comes out. This looked like my problem solved but may be not
@@stephenrichards5386 Left / Right hand drive shouldn't make a difference as the fittings are symetrical. If you are not sure on the included bits, email them and they'll let you know
@@SaabUnleashed The dashboard shape in which the support fits and the plastics block is left or right handed. The ones i've seen for sale take account of that. I really want to sort this before the new year. I'm concerned that i buy one and it's wrong. The T'Eyes looks a really good option but I can't be sure
I'm shortly heading back to the installers to have the original head unit reinstalled in my 2022 Camry. After that, I'll be repackaging the T'Eyes unit and sending it back for a full refund. I had the T'Eyes TPMS valves removed yesterday. This is because T'Eyes (and apparently Joying too) don't make a right-hand drive fascia bracket for their head units that fits the 2022 Camry sold in Australia, Japan, Singapore, ironically China too, and the rest. This is despite their initial assurances that the T'Eyes LUX One was compatible with my car. It seems this issue applies to all their head units. What a waste of time! So, a warning to potential buyers: before you order, make sure you explicitly state whether your car is left-hand drive or right-hand drive and provide clear photos of your dashboard - which I did by the way! Hopefully, this will help confirm if they have the correct fascia bracket. If not, you'll have to go through the hassle of returning the unit for a refund, which is what I'm doing. Important note: If you do attempt installation, compare the back of the original fascia bracket with the new fascia bracket before you begin installation of any kind. To make sure the dash clip locations match up exactly. It's a shame this happened because I was really impressed with the LUX One itself.
I will add - Android Auto has been a tad flaky for me. As Dan said, AA support isn't actually "supported" - in that it mostly works, but don't expect official support/help from them. I would say 80% of the time, it connects. The rest, it just hangs and has to be reset. Personally, I uninstall Android Auto anyway; it's a waste of a great head unit. Just install CarSpot on your phone to automatically enable hotspot when bluetooth is detected - and use the head unit's own resources. It's quicker, saves phone battery and resources.
Yes it does indeed. I said in this video the 7862 is the fasted I've tested so far. But I have here a DUDU7 Mekede flagship which is probably going to blow every other headunit out of the water and it has a 7870 with a ridiculous 12gb of RAM

Great review!
Any idea if any brand makes one for a 2018 accord ? They have bad Chinese models but I don’t wanna use that. I tried using joying but it didn’t fit

There are a few brands that do that, and I have a DUDU7 here I'll be reviewing very soon
Hmm, which unit would work with a 2000 s500
Thanks mate!
Do you plan to make the top 2024?
Yes but there's another 3 or 4 head units I need to review beforehand as there may be some game changers this year
