The new Stinger heigh10 (10" version of the Elev8) has optical out too, and looks very much like the kenwood screen you guys installed.. Loving these videos Jay! :)
Great pick! Absolutely hate head units with digital volume knobs
I do love a good analog knob myself haha
Will this screen affect the JBL sound system?? Or is it better or worse?
I have a later fj model the 2022 here the fj is still going
What brand are the speaker pods?
Has anyone used the idatalink maestro as it's not on their website as a compatible head unit yet
No not yet, it should be compatible with the unit (9720 is an aus release so may not be added yet) but its the car compatibility thats the issue at the moment as they are designed for us cars. I will make a video as soon as there is something available 🙂
@@wickswirescaraudioandfabri7730 that will be amazing thanks so much for the reply
No problems at all, thanks for watching 🙂
@@wickswirescaraudioandfabri7730 I see on the Kenwood firmware update site for the DMX9720XDS the new April update firmware version for Australia, Improved iDataLink Function. (Covered areas: Oceania) S_V1_3_0003_1200 hope it works for Toyota Hilux :-)
Hey Sam, why do you have your temp gauge in Farenheit?!?
Hahahaha wondering if anyone would spot that. The battery had been disconnected and I hadn't hit the button on the temp gauge 🤪
@@wickswirescaraudioandfabri7730 I spotted it as a fellow FJ owner. I figured the battery had been disconnected
Thanks for the product update. Just got a pre-loved, stock 14 Fj and looking to begin upgrades. Any chance Sam is willing to share his list of FJ upgrades? One of the best looking front bars i've seen to-date. And I've spent hours checking on reviews with none that I can admit truly look like they integrate to suit the look of the vehicle. The Kenwood is also a new addition to my shopping list. thnx John
I would love to give you the full list but I know its a kilometer long at this stage hahaha. Basically everything you can do within reason.
There are 2 sides to the story on this one as the electrical system alone has just as many if not more hours in it, and that isn't including the stereo lol. Are you more interested in the electrical or body and mechanical upgrades?
Front bar is a TJM (Australia) T13 Outback bar. There are a few brands in Aus that make decently "integrated" bullbars. TJM, Uneek and ECB for a start.
make a video when you put your steering wheel on the proper side of the car !!
Does anyone know how far the screen comes down past the double din opening at its highest setting adjustment? Don't want to buy it to find out it hits my air con knobs below. I've got about 20-25mm of room below the opening. Thanks in advance.
Any rumours on Kenwood bringing the Navigation version to Australia? I know that google maps through CarPlay works very well but I like integrated nav as well.
Hello, I just recently have this unit installed on my 2016 Tacoma. But the unit is annoyingly rattling. Any suggestion to how to prevent the rattling sound?
Hey mate, I would be asking whomever installed it as I have never had one rattle. It may be interfering with the dash facia, or rubbing on something inside the dash
not only movie, the idea does not make sens. 50 inch TV could be also nice...
well didn't someone forgot to show us the rear cam working ;)
btw we here in Norway have the same unit as AUS
Someone definitely did haha 🤦♂️🤦♂️ you didn't miss out on anything, the resolution was pretty bad. It was almost better to just look at the mirror 🤣
Interesting. Thanks for that, I thought the 9720 was an aus only version 🤔
My reverse camera is stuck in a split screen view with a massive black line thru one side, any ideas it was working fine with the previous head unit… I really don’t want to have to fit a whole new camera 😩
The radio band AM is very weak , how to improve it
I purchased a BELSEE 12.5, 1 year ago. It looked used and out of date. Has the old 8.0 android and the unit doesn't work with the steering wheel controls. Terrible support from the company. Are you able to use the steering wheel controls with your application???.. thank you for sharing. Daniel
Absolutely, all of the steering wheen controls worked perfectly 🙂
Hi, i bought same but my rear speaker and subwoofer doesn't work, something wrong with wires?? or do i need to use harness ???
i have FJ 2007
My guess would be an amplifier trigger in the wiring harness is missing. I personally haven't worked on the factory amplified version so im not sure
Would you please send a link to the speakers that stick out of the dash. I believe they are Hybrid Audio. Did you make the housing? Do they fit in perfectly? Thank you for your help. Trying to upgrade my 2013 FJ system.
Sure mate 🙂 hybrid.audio/product/legatia-x3/
Yes they were made from scratch and do fit perfecly. It was made using the factory speaker grill from the top of the dash 🙂
Hey fellas, where did you get the info on the upcoming 2021 Alpine products? I'd love to look into them, coz I agree, I'd pay scary money for this Kenwood if it had a digital output. A volume knob, LDAC, DSD, 14 band PEQ + 13 band GEQ, HDMI in etc etc they really nailed it!! I wish it had a generic OBD2 reader too, missed opportunity. But I want to see what else is coming out before I drop $$ on this. Cheers
The AKM factory burning to the ground definitely didn't help the release of new products thats for sure haha. There are some big things coming from alpine this year, still undisclosed what exactly is coming.... but a little thing called F1 Status could be back 😉
what is it, with 10mm 🤣🤣🤣great video
It’s not always about 10 inches
Great vid!! Do you think the Kenwood DMX1037S will fit an FJ without trouble?
Yes, the 1037s is just a variant of the 9720 so should be no issue 😊
I enjoyed this as Jay looks like one of those guys who actually enjoys his job. So after watching the entire video I am thinking I want one of these units. So I followed the links below to the Phatt audio concepts website and, well, its lovely and all that, but no clear information about installation services or products. Perhaps I'm a little out of the loop. I am now thinking its a high end place and probably too classy (expensive) for my pedestrian budget. I also have to admit complete ignorance into what the FJ owner actually has in the back of his Car. Holy shit. Whatever that was, man it looked wonderful and expensive. I only have draws, toilet paper and a fridge. Anyway , for fear of being laughed at, what would the cost of an installation be for the same head unit in a stock Fj?
Hey Paul, I definitely love what I do thats for sure 🙂
Yes there is definitely a lot of audio stuff in that FJ hahaha. We do everything from a $200 headunit to super big custom build's at Phatt audio, so we can cater to all budget's.
Give the shop a call, and we can talk about pricing and options if you're not too far away 🙂
great video , wrong choice for an fj !
I have never noticed the auto dimming rear view mirror working in mine either. Does it work? Don’t know.
Hahahaha well then 🤷♂️
Hey boys great video and very helpful.
I own a Mazda 3 MPS 2013, to remove the A plastic pillar isn’t easy due a retainer clip/strap that’s fiddly to unclip.
Can I skip DAB + antenna connection and connect just the factory car antenna to the unit.
Cheers 🤙🏻
You don't need to connect it, but of course you will have no dab at all. If you search TH-cam for a video im sure you will find something to guide you in removing the A-pillar trim. You will find that they may be the same as another Mazda 🙂
@@wickswirescaraudioandfabri7730
Thank you guys.. I’ll do some more research about removing the plastic pillar in Mazda 3’s.
Cheers boys 🤙🏻
What about a used Microsoft surface tablet as infotainment?
Actually had this idea years ago and almost did it, ended up installing an ipad instead. I currently have a Samsung tablet moulded into my dash as well so it can be done 🙂
I have same FJ. Stereo unit looks good!
quote for install on the same vehicle with the same head unit?
Shoot us an email at sales@phattaudio.com.au and we can quote you up, you get a 10% discount if you mention the video 😉
Where is link a youtube channel this fj ?
There isn't one unfortunately
Great discussion... I needed to see it in place. Looks like I’m going to go with the DNR1007XR, Focal Utopia M, and Audio Control D-6.1200... should make for a good front of cab set up.... Currently have full JL Audio 4 10” 2 Hd 750/1, C5 6.5” 1 Hd 600/4, will be moving the C5 5.25” to the rear of the cab.
Nice!! Thanks for watching mate 😊😊 I would do yourself a favour and have a look into the helix P6 while your sussing out. We are just about to do a new corolla with utopia m 3 way a p6 and a p1 with a helix q15w, should be super epic 😉
Why didn’t you put iPods in cars when they came out
Did you mean ipads? Because I have done a few of those hahaha
can you connect your satellite radio to it ???🤔🤔
That's a great question. We don't have sat radio in Aus so you would need to check with a dealer near to you for your regions version information
Dude so stoked to find this vid. About to do the same in my FJ
Glad I could help mate 🙂
@17:00 how did you play video on this unit? I'm about to pull the trigger on this unit and definitely interested 👌👌
Thanks for the great video!
Not a problem mate glad you enjoyed it 🙂
There are a couple of different ways you can run video. First is wireless mirroring, this can have mixed connectivity depending on phone. It's generally better on Samsung's with smart view and a few other decent brands. Not sure it the iPhone can do it at all, there was an app for usb mirroring but Apple stopped it from working. The other way is to use the hdmi port in the back. You can either run it out and use an adapter on your phone or ecen just plug a chromecast in and use that 🙂
@@wickswirescaraudioandfabri7730 awesome! So your saying with android mirroring, you can watch whatever you're watching on your phone on the head unit? This is fantastic as I ams an Android (Samsung) user 👌
@@TRD_Cueto Yep perfect, I'm a Samsung guy too so wireless Android auto and wireless mirroring do work. Correct, even the touchscreen works to control it lol. The lag is barely noticeable as well so quite impressive
@@wickswirescaraudioandfabri7730 fantastic! I will likely go ahead and plug in an HDMI adapter/extender for future use if desired 👌👌👌
Is the viewing area 10 inch or the whole screen? Asking because the bezel looks pretty thick. Thanks!
Its actually a 10.1" display, plus bezel 🙂
@@wickswirescaraudioandfabri7730 man thank you! I’ve been asking this question all over the place lol.
No problems mate, it's basically a tablet screen in a headunit lol
@@wickswirescaraudioandfabri7730 you da man! Thanks again, dude! I think I may pick one up when they're back in stock at Crutchfield.
Cool unit, was looking at them just last week and this vid answered a couple of things i was wondering about. Might put one in my Amarok once funds allow, will go nicely with the Hybrid Audio and Helix treatment i gave it this week.
NICE!! What Hybrids did you get??
@@wickswirescaraudioandfabri7730 2x 10inch unity shallow subs, U6V2 mid bass for front and U1 tweeters,
hello love your video im exactly thinking of getting this for my fj but wanted to ask ive had ford Bronco,and chevy tahoe both had systems kind of like that but i always had problems with the alternator and or the battery how do you guys do it?
This FJ is running dual Lithium batteries and was having 0 issues with the stock alternator. Wiring upgrade was done but that was it 🙂
There are several full android 9 and 10 headunits with optical out for 1/3 the cost of this. If your not gonna use the cheap onboard amp, dsp, dac then sound should r amazing. Might not have wireless android but then again since it charges phone thats ok.
They lack the output power inn the RCA's and do not have DSP sound processing
This just got me excited for a head unit! Did the reverse camera not work with the head unit, sorry I missed that?
It is a great unit!! The camera was not plug and play, I did have to manually wire it it. I did retain the factory camera on the car though
