I'm looking at one just now. Keep going back to the eonon q53 pro. I want something that will autoconnect to my phone, ideally have a memory which will go back to where the unit was when the car was switched off, have RDS, and ideally a couple of spare usb so I can add Dab and Tpms etc at a later date. And if possible fit right into a mk6 golf. What would you be going for if that was what you were looking for?
Awesome video!! Before I ask my question, let me just get the background explained quickly. I have a Volvo C30, it’s in the P1 group which includes the S40, V50 and C70. They all have the somewhat famous "waterfall" centre console. I am looking to install an Android head unit, but I'm new at this and trying to figure out what to get. I'm a mechanic, I'm confident that I can manage the physical installation. The biggest problem I'm facing is that I have automatic double climate control, and I need the temp settings to be displayed on the new head unit. All other information is either not nessesary to display (volume, fan speed), already on a different display (cruise control, door indicator), or is shown by little led indicator lights on the centre console (heated seats, automatic AC on/off, fan-blow direction etc.). I need an android head unit that can take input from the centre console control buttons and steeringwheel buttons for the menues and radio etc. I also want it to have its own sim, so that it can run (with internet) completely on its own. And it should be a crisp and quick 7" (double din). I mean, I have found a few options, but the only one that I know of that can display the climate control temp setting is the bluepower BLP-990 unit. However, this just overlays the old screen, which looks really (in my opinion), really bad. It kind of ruins the point of installing a new head unit. I also does not like how it is mounted, and I've read many mixed reviews on bluepower, mainly that their units are often faulty and their support/service is close to non existent. You seem to be an expert on the field, and additionally maybe someone viewing this video might be able to help. Thanks again for the video!
Another good video and full of information. I bought a Joying head unit and it was for a land cruiser 2012. The guy fitting it said the unit plugs were all wrong, emailed Joying and they asked for lots of pictures but they then sent me another box to sit on the main andriod unit and took it down to car audio fitter on friday and he is happy now. Was impressed that Joying support and help. They sent the extra unit at thier cost and have been really helpful. It is being fully fitted next week so I m hoping it is all going to work. The guy is dubious about the DAB radio USB stick but will give it a go. If it all works, I shall be sending Joying an email of thanks as they have been great trying to sort out and said if not happy they will refund me. Cant ask better than that.
Had my Joying headunit in my 2005 jazz for 6 months now and love it. People compliment how nice it looks and functional it is compared to their decade newer BMW's. You'll love it
An update, having paid a car audio guy £ 410 to fit the unit, nothing worked, the steering controls, DAB radio and GPS did not work, I was livid. Emailed Joying they said check the connections, so I pulled out the unit, found the fitter and connected it up all wrong. I put the wires as per Joyings instructions which fitted had, and hey presto it works, I just have to sort out the hazard flasher unit which needs changing not Joyings fault. All in all they are a good company and will not walk away from a problem, always happy to help. I am upset that the fitters work, but only problem that I still have is the DAB+ works but signal is poor. Anyone tried a splitter unit so it uses the ariel in the side wilndows of the back of the car ? I will say again Joying have been brilliant
I am impressed with your videos. This one is especially informative. I have been using an android unit for about 5 years now, and it only has 1gb of ram. Which is why I am working on upgrading. I must admit, the experience is crap without a lot of ram.
Thanks for the video. I recently picked up a DASAITA I really like it. A bit of a learning curve and their support is abhorrent they try, but there’s usually two or three days in between them answering questions. I’ve also been struggling with call quality but overall it’s an amazing upgrade my car.
Thanks for bringing clarity to this subject as I am in process of trying to upgrade the head unit on my 2011 Venza and couldn't decide if one of the main big makers versus an Android unit. I mainly use my radio for XM/iPod/MP3s on cd or usb drive with occasional maps! I also want o try to install things myself since after all this time I might as well try some DIY for last few years I have this car.
Superb video. I was unlucky when I bought a Seicane Android head unit for my 2007 Accord. Right out of the box I had issues with the HVAC controls. As I read further many people were having issues with Chinese android HUs. That was a real downer in that the concept of a fully dash integrated Android head unit was great, but did not work for me. Thank you for pointing out trusted brands to consider.
I bought a teyes cc2 3yrs ago. Its been great and is still great. The stock launcher and associated canbus functionality is great. Recently i just needed a different look so i installed car launcher and hey it feels like new.
ive ordered 2 different chinese radios for 2 different cars a few months before your video, if it existed before. Y had saved me many days/hours that ive spend for my research (with the same conclusion/results) ;)

I just installed a Chinese android head unit recently and originally planned to use apple carplay with it. I eventually realised after a few days that it's so boring, so switched to using all the native android apps by tethering from my iphone, it's nice to hear you mention this @13:50 !
Help please! I’m thinking of getting the Xtrons Android 12 CIC for my BMW E91. The original head unit has got tire pressure monitoring built in…my question is, once i install my new head unit, will i still be able to monitor my tyre pressure as I can on the original bmw head unit? Hope someone can help me with this! 😊
I’m aware they Xtrons sells a tyre pressure monitoring system, but would i need to purchase this additionally, as my original BMW head unit is currently displaying it and wondering if I can use the old one?

I've had two joyings myself. First one had 2gb of ram and android 6. It was great but after about two years it got slow. But still worked fine. I wanted a bigger screen anyway so got one with 4gb and android 10. It was amazing. Very fast...great full hd screen. I alway recommend them. They work great. I'd steer clear of any 2gb models these days.
@@apmechanic7704 More RAM only helps if your applications need more RAM. If the apps you use do not need more memory, it is just extra cost. I only use my head unit for CarPlay, MP3, and Radio so 2GB has been fine for my use case.
@@ericl5973 there's slightly more to it. Background serviced run off the ram. In the earlier days 1gb was all you got and it would end up a crawl if you even attempted to run a dash cam and maps off it. 4gb is probably the safest bet. The 6gb version of the latest 512 processor remind me of drives from 2 to 3 years ago.
interesting. If you want to us ethe data allowance from your mobile phone, is it a case of just linking the two as a hotspot... ie: no need to buy a 2nd SIM data card just for the head unit sim holder? My worry with these was no DAB radio... but you mentioned the USB adapter :D is that straight forward to connect up and use?
Had an Atoto A6 I paid about $250 for it. While not a total loss, it was pretty much unusable due to the MediaTek SoC (MT8127A) which was originally found in sub $50 tablets. The thing would overheat just downloading updates to the point it would stink up the car.
@@SaabUnleashed slow does't even begin to describe it. It was pretty much unusable for anything other than a radio and backup camera. As an android device, it had no use whatsoever. The sad part is many of the other components were of higher quality, not the best, but of much better quality, especially the display. But they skimped out on the most important component and tried to make up for it by overclocking it and adding a cheap pot metal heat sink to it.
For older BMWs the i-bus USB-dongle and app (made by a German company) gives full control over onboard computer, steering wheel buttons as well as new features like DRL, cornering lights, automatic locking, welcome lights etc. Works perfectly with most Android units. I use an Xtrons myself in an older BMW X5.
@@ThatGuy-ur5cn Yes, the Resler i-bus USB dongle talks directly with the computer bus of BMWs and MINIs (not all models though) and can access almost anything in the car. The controling app is the one that gives all the new cool features. It's really a "must" if you have an Android head unit in an older BMW.
I bought a Desaita Android head unit 3 years ago, good unit but poor radio reception. Just after that I bought a 100 dollar unbranded generic unit that had far far better radio and despite no DSP chip advertised sounded great. Last week I bought another cheap generic Android for a different car and it’s amazing, it even has integration with reverse sensors to show visual representation of reverse object as well as reverse camera. The bottom line is that these units are getting better and better every year. For me the CarPlay feature is really all that’s important for me.
Really insightful. I was wondering about some Head Units running Android as the OS vs supporting Android Auto - very clear now on what the difference is.
Okay, you answered a question for me. I bought an Atoto unit four years ago that didn't have Android Auto, and as I contemplated getting another Atoto for my newer car, I wondered what I'd been missing. Apparently nothing. I also prefer to have my phone mounted for Google Maps because I prefer the vertical display mounted higher on the dashboard while something entirely different is running on the head unit.
He talks about resolution at the 9:12 mark. I have a 1080p Joying 10 and it's very hard to touch the software buttons. Does anyone know how to change the resolution to 720p in order to make the software buttons a little bigger? And if we do change the software resolution to 720p does that mean that the 1080p screen will not playback 1080p HD video?
Can you connect Bluetooth obd2 dongle with it? The radio do not have option for changing Bluetooth pin. I have a Nakamichi Nam5730 9IN installed. It pairs to obd2,but fails to connect
One question that has eluded me is which of these Android HU's allow me you summon Siri via the steering wheel voice button. I thought T'eyes did, then found that their FAQ explicitly mentioned that it does not. Could you please advise or make a video that maybe discusses some of foundational features, like mic performance, vehicle integration include all SWC buttons etc. Think that would be super valuable video. Thanks for making these videos!

I can’t get this to work in my steering wheel controls to work in my 2012 grand Cherokee at all…was told that it’s the same setting for a 2012 dodge Durango but I don’t see that vehicle listed either in the hikitty canbus
A huge plus for the major brands not mentioned is support. I am getting poor tech support from one of the “good” Android brands you mention and every communication takes a day or two due to time zones. Big brands have good support and usually have local support in your region

MY XTRONS DOESNT WORK AND IS NEW! I bought a XTRONS and the bottom light (power, home, etc) turn on sometimes but the tablet or screen itself doesnt. I bought it for a Honda Odyssey (during the pandemic and van was not working) and couldnt install it right away so no warranty and nobody cant tell me what is wrong with it, any ideas?
Would you happen to have a video on some of the tricks or changes in the software that can be made to improve it. Such as the microphone volume during a phonecall or screen brightness that doesn’t go low enough for night driving? I feel that the unit may have the ability to adjust these types of things, however it’s probably in a hidden area of the UI.

Let me help u out because I can see u need it. 2g
100% agree that he needs a spreadsheet comparison breakdown
@@apmechanic7704 More RAM only helps if your applications need more RAM. If the apps you use do not need more memory, it is just extra cost. I only use my head unit for CarPlay, MP3, and Radio so 2GB has been fine for my use case.
@@ericl5973 there's slightly more to it. Background serviced run off the ram. In the earlier days 1gb was all you got and it would end up a crawl if you even attempted to run a dash cam and maps off it.
4gb is probably the safest bet. The 6gb version of the latest 512 processor remind me of drives from 2 to 3 years ago.
interesting. If you want to us ethe data allowance from your mobile phone, is it a case of just linking the two as a hotspot... ie: no need to buy a 2nd SIM data card just for the head unit sim holder?
My worry with these was no DAB radio... but you mentioned the USB adapter :D is that straight forward to connect up and use?
Ive had 2 really cheap 25 quid ones in my vans including steering control and 50+w per chanel amp good vid
I jad a 78 Saab 99 back in the day. It was old when i bought it. The turbo still worked. Great on back roads!
Another great video, i am still a bit unsure what i should buy as yet though, thanks again!
Had an Atoto A6 I paid about $250 for it. While not a total loss, it was pretty much unusable due to the MediaTek SoC (MT8127A) which was originally found in sub $50 tablets. The thing would overheat just downloading updates to the point it would stink up the car.
Yes the original one was pretty slow
@@SaabUnleashed slow does't even begin to describe it. It was pretty much unusable for anything other than a radio and backup camera. As an android device, it had no use whatsoever. The sad part is many of the other components were of higher quality, not the best, but of much better quality, especially the display. But they skimped out on the most important component and tried to make up for it by overclocking it and adding a cheap pot metal heat sink to it.
@@SaabUnleashed out of all the hours of videos I've watched. No one says where you can buy them.. please help

Any insight on eonon head units?
For older BMWs the i-bus USB-dongle and app (made by a German company) gives full control over onboard computer, steering wheel buttons as well as new features like DRL, cornering lights, automatic locking, welcome lights etc. Works perfectly with most Android units. I use an Xtrons myself in an older BMW X5.
This is very interesting information
Is this different functionality from a bluetooth OBD reader?
@@ThatGuy-ur5cn Yes, the Resler i-bus USB dongle talks directly with the computer bus of BMWs and MINIs (not all models though) and can access almost anything in the car. The controling app is the one that gives all the new cool features. It's really a "must" if you have an Android head unit in an older BMW.
I heard the audio isn’t good through the aux cables
I bought a used car with after market Android car player. Doesn't seem to have AM radio. Any tipes on how to determin exactly what I have installed?
I bought a Desaita Android head unit 3 years ago, good unit but poor radio reception. Just after that I bought a 100 dollar unbranded generic unit that had far far better radio and despite no DSP chip advertised sounded great. Last week I bought another cheap generic Android for a different car and it’s amazing, it even has integration with reverse sensors to show visual representation of reverse object as well as reverse camera. The bottom line is that these units are getting better and better every year. For me the CarPlay feature is really all that’s important for me.
*Very nice video. Professional, understandable, all-encompassing, ... Well done, sir!*
Really insightful. I was wondering about some Head Units running Android as the OS vs supporting Android Auto - very clear now on what the difference is.
Okay, you answered a question for me. I bought an Atoto unit four years ago that didn't have Android Auto, and as I contemplated getting another Atoto for my newer car, I wondered what I'd been missing. Apparently nothing. I also prefer to have my phone mounted for Google Maps because I prefer the vertical display mounted higher on the dashboard while something entirely different is running on the head unit.
He talks about resolution at the 9:12 mark. I have a 1080p Joying 10 and it's very hard to touch the software buttons. Does anyone know how to change the resolution to 720p in order to make the software buttons a little bigger?
And if we do change the software resolution to 720p does that mean that the 1080p screen will not playback 1080p HD video?
You can probably use dev mode to force scaling since it's android, tap the version number in settings to see if it unlocks
awesome guide!! planning on getting Teyes
Awesome video, clear data and well explained. Thanks man!
How about the SiriusXM radio? Am I losing it if I replace my car radio?
You can listen to Sirius via the Android app
Can you connect Bluetooth obd2 dongle with it? The radio do not have option for changing Bluetooth pin. I have a Nakamichi Nam5730 9IN installed. It pairs to obd2,but fails to connect
One question that has eluded me is which of these Android HU's allow me you summon Siri via the steering wheel voice button. I thought T'eyes did, then found that their FAQ explicitly mentioned that it does not. Could you please advise or make a video that maybe discusses some of foundational features, like mic performance, vehicle integration include all SWC buttons etc. Think that would be super valuable video. Thanks for making these videos!
i ordered IDOING from china, the single sub woofer rca does not work , but i plug it into green center rca works but not great no control on eq. it came in generic box no instruction a few other problem. is there a brand that has no issues. i Normally bought kenwoods since i was 16 owned 2 casset deck, one cd, for a few years just used stock then now trying the androids. those kenwoods never issues, wear and tear.

how to connect android car stereo with OBD adapter through bluetooth? My Joying unit and NAKAMICHI headunit pairs with obd dongle but does not connect...Please help
I've bought a Junsun v1 plus 4g + 64gb installed it on a megane 2, 2003, (with the old display on as many people say) and the steering wheel commands dont work even configuring the canbus or manually. Can anyone help me?
I can’t get this to work in my steering wheel controls to work in my 2012 grand Cherokee at all…was told that it’s the same setting for a 2012 dodge Durango but I don’t see that vehicle listed either in the hikitty canbus
A huge plus for the major brands not mentioned is support. I am getting poor tech support from one of the “good” Android brands you mention and every communication takes a day or two due to time zones. Big brands have good support and usually have local support in your region
I got a android head unit "android13" i download the update but it's not installing help😢😪

MY XTRONS DOESNT WORK AND IS NEW! I bought a XTRONS and the bottom light (power, home, etc) turn on sometimes but the tablet or screen itself doesnt. I bought it for a Honda Odyssey (during the pandemic and van was not working) and couldnt install it right away so no warranty and nobody cant tell me what is wrong with it, any ideas?
Would you happen to have a video on some of the tricks or changes in the software that can be made to improve it. Such as the microphone volume during a phonecall or screen brightness that doesn’t go low enough for night driving? I feel that the unit may have the ability to adjust these types of things, however it’s probably in a hidden area of the UI.
Does anyone know if there's a head unit that can upgrade the 2014 buck encore convenience car stereo?

I have a Witson Android head unit for my Fiat 500. It says "mic" on the front of the unit but also comes with a plug in external microphone. Do I need to use the external mic ?
Test the mic and see. Generally an external mic will offer you a better quality because you can place it closer to you in your driving position
I have one in my Subaru Forester. Because it sits high on the dash, the built in mic seems to work fine. I don't need the external.
Excellent explaner. Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Having both a Eunavi PX6 DSP and a Joying 10.25 single din,
Both are very good headunits
Eunavi PX6 is a good headunit that's just basic android,
My joying 10.25 is a better headunit and just more expensive.
Thanks for this video. Be looking for top brands in this.

How do you know how much the pre amp voltage is because I bought a xtrons head unit and it seems like it has a .5 to 1 volt out put. I have to turn my amp up 100% to get bass out and the amp is a 4800 watt amarican bass so no problem there!!

Hello,
After watching your videos, I bought the Eonon head unit, running android px5.
I am having trouble setting the canbus to work with a 2009 toyota tacoma. Could you do a video tutorial on how to set up the canbus for different types of vehicles?
I appreciate your effort in putting out these videos and enjoy learning from them very much.
Thanks
Would you be able to open up the unit and upgrade the ram?
