Just watched your EK Joying video and really keen on doing it for my own pre facelift EK9. Thanks for giving back to your subs! Really enjoyed this review too
Thanks for the review man, good to see stuff for the 79s that simply work and don’t cost a ridiculous amount of money. Would definitely like to see more of this, honest reviews of add ons that don’t break the bank. cheers joying for the giveaway hopefully it ends up in my 79!
Entered, thanks for watching! Thank you 🙂I really hope you get it soon... scrolling down the comments all i see are people waiting for their cruisers 😭
Cheers Jono and cheers joying, another affordable option for people to get their hands on. keep up the good work and future content on all the places you visit and stuff you do to the cruiser. currently in a 2019 hilux with my dual cab 79 to arrive late october so winning with would tick one of many things i want to do to the new car. thanks again.
Thanks for this video and continued content for the TLC 70 series! This video was very informative. Thank you Joying for making this promotion available for all of us ! I drive a 2018 cruiser I saved for 7 years to get, it has updated sound system but the current head unit it has is so dysfunctional it’s not funny, basically good for Bluetooth connection and that’s about it !
Another great review Jonathon. Its great to see an unbiased review with a heap of information from buying to installation. The Joying head units look awesome and great value for a replacement of the original. The correspondence Ive had with Joying has been quick and informative to date. It would look great in my '22 LC 79 Series.
@@MrSouwesta Hi mate sorry i missed this comment! No i haven't yet. I will but not yet, i love music but i don't love my audio enough. I really like the new Alpine door cards but unsure if they can be bought alone. The stock speakers seem to work fine for me at the moment and its my daily 👍
@@MrSouwesta ohhh ill have to look into it! I was wondering if it would be possible to hook up my factory speakers to the UHF and just run door pod speakers. Guess I'll see what happens!
Thank you Joying! New subscriber for you, loving the videos. I've just got my dream car literally one month ago, a 2019 LC79 Single Cab. Still go on extra trips everywhere just to drive it! It just feels right. I've recently just started my own TH-cam channel all about 4wd, travelling and modifying the cars, Mud,Mods and Beers. Have a look and you will see the new rig! Really miss the tech in my hilux, really need this head unit for my work truck now!
Entered, thanks! Thanks also for subscribing. Just had a look at your channel, love how you send the 79 😁 I'm in the same boat, do miss the tech of the hilux but love the 79. Good luck
Thank you Joying for the giveaway. I drive a 2016 Audi SQ5. I'd like to see more videos on track days including one at Wakefield in the RX7 before it closes down, and throw in some 4wd'ing content for those who are interested in starting out and looking for good places to explore.
Entered, thanks for watching! Thanks for the feedback. I think my channel might suit your taste 😅 Unfortunately it's closed as of end of this month. I was really really hoping to get out there in the FD but unfortunately i haven't finished the run-in kms.
Hey mate. Thanks for the video. Looking at upgrading the head unit in my car. Been repainting my car and upgrading it as I am not paying the current prices they want for a new car. Looks like a good head unit thanks for the honest review. Have a Mitsubishi PB Challenger.
Thanks joying & thanks for posting videos of your 79 lm still waiting for my sandy 79 keep up the good work mate ps l had a few Mazdas in my days 1300 with a 12a rx3 BP on nos & a few others
Hi Jonathan, really informative video, thanks! I have a 2016, 76 series so do you know if this type of head unit would fit into the 76 as the factory standard unit is different in the 76 to the 79? Phil
Hey mate correct it's Polaris Visual is amazing at night!!! Partly due to the reverse lights from the Norweld tray. They're LED and super bright which does help with the image clarity
Great review Jonathon. I went out and bought the Joying unit as I have the same car. I'm just stuck on the Video retention harness you say i need to get the ground from the joying harness and the reversing trigger. I've watched the video countless times but cannot see were to connect those two cables to the joying harness. If you could help it would be muchly appreciated.
Hey mate thanks for the feedback! There are 3 wires needed to wire the Aerpro APVTY04 video retention harness 1) Yellow RCA male --> yellow RCA female from Joying harness 2) Purple wire (12V reverse trigger) --> reverse trigger on the 79. Look for a GREEN wire from one of the stock connectors from the original 79 series headunit. This GREEN wire that runs to a coil of black split conduit tubing. You can test it with a multimeter - pop it in reverse and this wire should read 12V. And 0V in other gears. 3) Black wire with ring terminal --> cut the ring terminal off and splice/solder/tap into the black wire of the joying harness (you can double check with a multimeter if this is a negative/ground) Good luck and message me on FB if you can't sort it out. facebook.com/JChowTH-cam
Hey mate At the time of purchase (almost a year ago) those were the specs listed in the video. Joying continuously upgrade their products and perhaps they have upgraded the equaliser. Best to email them for confirmation
*FOLLOWUP QUESTIONS IN THIS PINNED POST* Q: Can you access the hazard switch? A: Yes easy access behind the top of the headunit and it's not too tight either. I wanted to relocate it to where i've got the RJ45 outlet for the UHF. The same way PVS have done it. But i actually like where the RJ45 outlet is.. so currently in two minds about it. The only difference it would make is if someone else was driving the car. Q: What is the model of the unit? Single or double DIN? A: My particular model is a double DIN. A single DIN would work the same and perhaps would suit better as the screen could sit higher up without needing me to make a bracket. That said i cannot confirm fitment! Q: Link for unit? A: www.joyingauto.com/newest-high-resolution-1920-1200-android-10-1-double-din-car-radio.html
Hey mate polarisgps.com.au/product/toyota-reverse-camera-integration/#camera-choice This is what i had for my stock 79 head unit. If you can find those parts separately OR do your own wiring loom, you could make this significantly cheaper.
Hey, really good video, thanks. If you don’t mind I have a couple of questions. Is it annoying that there is no physical volume knob? I was thinking that would be a problem off-road. Do you know if Joying have anything that would fit a land cruiser 70 series with a volume knob? Also are there any smaller units, say 8 inch, that would fit? Can you turn the unit off independently of the ignition? Cheers
Hey mate sorry for the late reply! 1) To be honest yes - for a 70 series cruiser (which doesn't have steering wheel controls) i do find it annoying without the knob. However i plan to install a steering wheel with buttons soon. In my civic i have a joying unit with the physical knobs which are extremely useful. 2) All the units smaller will fit as they all mount in the same way. For a more natural fit i reckon the 8 inch is perfect. Personally i prefer the seamless look (with steering wheel controls) 3) You can turn off the screen from the drop down menu on the joying unit (puts it in sleep mode). Simply touch the screen to turn it back on. Alternatively if you wanted the unit fully shut down you would have to wire in a switch. Hope that's helpful!
@@JCYT thanks for the answers. I've since browsed the Joying website some more. I noticed that the 9 inch has physical buttons and apart from the screen it looks the same as the one you installed. Am I missing anything there? Would it install the same way as yours? I think 9 inch would go ok, would probably be able to see the orignal clock and hazard lights button a little better. Cheers
It sounds like your car has an electrical issue. That or installer error. The Joying unit enters sleep mode and draws next to no amperage with ACC switched off. I would check the wiring first. If wiring is good, disconnect the Joying when you turn the car off and see if your battery is still draining.
I'm reviewing the company not the specific head unit The product is actually pretty good BUT the customer service is the worst probably in the world they're terrible I had a problem a month after and their solution was to send me a part and make me get it fixed myself and when that part didn't work and decided I needed a new screen they want to charge me for the screen and for shipping I've only had it 9 months AND REPORTED MY PROBLEM AFTER 4 weeks and I bought it direct from the company so I would think twice about recommending this company
Great video mate! What were the specs of your mates new joying head unit? Looking at getting the same one from them. Also did he have to buy any other parts from them? Cheers
Thanks Jonathan, great review. I have a Subaru 2008 WRX STI which had a factory nav unit. It was replaced a few year ago with a Pioneer head unit which supports android auto. I want to replace this with a new Joying unit. Joying’s web site seems to indicate they have a warehouse in Australia. Do they have warehouse in Australia? Does the 4G support all Australian Carriers?
Hey mate sweet! I actually have a mate with one fitted in his wrx sti I think his one is a 2009. As far as I know yes they do have a warehouse in aus but my headunits have all come from the China location. At the time they didn't have many models locally. The 4G is compatible yes. I had an older Joying unit in my hilux with a telstra 4G sim. You need to go into the settings an enter a few settings. If you get stuck with it reach out and I can send you the settings.
Well, that's what I was looking for my 79DC, an android device that really works. Your video is almost one year old and I was wondering how the screen looks like; scratchy? Any suggestion about RAM & ROM? Any newer model to consider?
Hi mate sorry for the slow response. Yes 1 year on it's running very well. I had an intermittent flicker about 2 months ago (it would happen like once a week). I brought this up with Joying and they sent me out a new ribbon cable to the screen which fixed the problem. 6gb RAM and 128gb ROM i have been happy with. It exceeds my needs. They have released some newer models now, if i'm bored maybe i'll upgrade one day!
Hi Jonathon, You mentioned it may not be great for apple users and better for android or will apple work just as well? Thanks....Steering wheel looks great...looks like i may have to copy you!
What i mean by that comment is that the android based system requires far more customisation and tinkering than apple interface. For long time apple users, it will take some adjusting to get used to the menu/settings setup etc. Hope that helps!
Your steering wheel is on the wrong side!!!....lol.!!jk....great video!!,.you have made joying some money, I'm on my way to buy one now!!!....cheers mate!!
Hey mate I have the 6gb model without upgrade in my other car and it exceeds my needs. So no imo it's not worth it unless you are running many apps at the same time or need the extra storage capacity.
Jono ! Thanks joying, with out them this wouldn’t have come to light. Didn’t think my cruiser needed an upgrade but after watching this jono I think it might now haha I’m still keen to see a review on the net gear data setup you have
Entered, thanks for watching! Thanks for the feedback. The netgear setup is working really well but i need to take it out bush to really see if it helps with the type of "overlanding" i do. Hopefully soon!
Entered, thanks for watching! Sorry i should have put it in the description. It's there now and also in the pinned post. My particular model is a double DIN. A single DIN would work the same and perhaps would suit better as the screen could sit higher up without needing me to make a bracket. That said i cannot confirm fitment!
just came across this vid and love it and think it will improve my troopy sound system (not hard ), did you work out how to lift screen up ,this is my only concern
Hey mate sorry for getting back to you so slowly. Yes i did! I used a sheet of aluminium, screwed in the 4 clips into the bracket and screwed down the screen to the aluminum sheet. I don't remember how much i lifted it up but it was about an inch. The only problem i faced was having to retap the screw thread on the screen as i could not source and little screws locally (or don't know how to). They're tiny little electrical ones. I found what i could at jaycar (M3) and carefully retapped them. No problems though. When i get a moment, i will do a video for everyone asking. It really isn't that bad without being lifted though. Actually most of the ones on the market are at this height also.
Hey mate Off the top of my head... There's a gallery in the menu. Choose the photo and there is a set wallpaper option. If you get stuck lmk i'll give you better instructions.
Cheers! Yep, it's a universal unit but those harnesses adapt it to any 1980s+ 70 series cruiser. Check the video description for the harnesses you need. Hope that's helpful.
Thanks for the video Jonathan you inspired me to get one. I got it installed in my 79. I got 2 questions for you. Does your wired external mic give you grief? How do you lower the ring volume? Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers
Hey mate The wired external microphone sucks. I still use mine but will upgrade the mic when i get around to it. I've heard a few people using Rode micro and Alpine external microphone with good success. I don’t think there's a way to lower ring volume. I find it a bit loud too. You could change the ringtone to a track with lower volume? That could be the way around it. Hope you are enjoying it!
@@JCYT Thanks Jonathan. Will look into a new mic. And the ringtone I can't do nothing with it. Ah Well. Other then that the unit is awesome. Thanks for the reply.
Hey JohnO, mate I noticed Joying has the 11.6inch screen, will this size be compatible like the 10.1 along with the 300 steering wheel upgrade. Site says it is still not available for Aus
Hi mate I asked joying this and they said yes it's compatible with a software update. I believe it could fit the 79... the screen dimensions. But it would be super close to the vents! I'm pretty keen to try rhe 11.6 too haha. If you get it please report back 🙏
@@JCYT thank you mate 🙏🏽 again appreciate your channel informative entertaining. I will be putting in the order 🤸🏽♂️ with Joying will keep ya posted 👍🏽
Hey mate great video, plan to get a joying when I save up a bit more. Too busy buying other parts for the 79. 😂 You wouldn't have the link to the polaris aliexpress model would you? Love to save some coin just for now as I don't even have bluetooth at the moment. 😅
Yes i did! I used a sheet of aluminium, screwed in the 4 clips into the bracket and screwed down the screen to the aluminum sheet. I don't remember how much i lifted it up but it was about an inch. The only problem i faced was having to retap the screw thread on the screen as i could not source and little screws locally (or don't know how to). They're tiny little electrical ones.

Actually most of the ones on the market are at this height also.
Great vid Jonathan! Your video made me bite the bullet and get the same unit for my Pajero! Wondering if you know where the setting is to turn on the options bar at the bottom of the screen? Can’t seem to find it on my unit. Any help would be awesome!
Hey mate, thanks for the feedback. Yes always have bought off their website but I know they also list on a few other platforms. Shipping has always been between 5 days to 2 weeks. You get a tracking number 2 days after. They air freight but I think they dispatch when they fulfil larger quantities. Hope that helps!
@@JCYT Thank you! And great review on the head unit, most videos are like 30 seconds long without detail but you went through everything. And cannot wait for the RX7 videos!!!
Hey mate I've had a look through the menu and cannot find it. It never needed me to activate in any menu. Maybe it's worth resetting it at the button behind the screen? Have you contacted Joying?
I have done this and the unit is set in the highest position already. The double DIN mounting locations are quite spaced apart so i believe the single DIN option (feet closer together) may allow the unit to be mounted higher. Not sure if that makes any sense haha
Awesome vid Jonathan. You mentioned your mate installed this unit into his N80 Hilux, did he do an install vid for that or at least have the list of harnesses he used to ensure all the functionality he had on the factory unit is accessible on the joying? Cheers mate
Hey mate, thanks for asking. I do and i promise a video will come before the end of the year. The results (in metro Sydney) are promising but i want to do the video justice and am waiting to go out bush to see how it performs. The setup is: Nighthawk M6 PRO RFI 6.5 DB 5G antenna Telstra SIM linked to my data plan (shared data)
Hey mate! Yes i've figure out a way just need to get around to it. I bought a flat sheet of stainless steel about 1mm thick. It's hard to explain but will screw the plate onto the back of the screen where the legs used to go and relocate the legs about 2cm lower onthe plate.
Hi mate Don't usually use it but tried it out today! It's awesome! No lag. Had Maps and TH-cam running. Haven't tried with more demanding apps (memory wise)
Hey mate Love the unit - still going strong and use it daily. The back of the screen (black finish) has faded so now it's kind of bronze. That's all i can fault it haha. Overall extremely happy with it
@JCYT that's fantastic, I saw the other video of you installing the steering wheel. I also noticed that the unit looked to be placed a little high on the dash. Did you end up making that bracket and if so, how did you go about doing that?
Huge thanks to joying for offering a great prize and affordable solution for the 79. I also drive a 79 series dual cab and would love to replace my outdated Polaris unit with one of these in future
THANK YOU JOYING FOR THIS AMAZING PRODUCT,I DRIVE JEEP WRANGLER BUT HAVE BOOKED 76 SERIES WHICH WILL BE ARRIVING END OF THIS YEAR. HOPEFULLY I WIN SO THIS WILL BE MY FIRST MOD IN MY 76 SERIES & THANKS JONATHAN FOR AMAZING VIDEOS SPECIALLY 79 MOD VIDEOS.
Thanks Joying, really hope I win. I recently sold my 2015 Amarok and am 12months in now waiting for my sandy taupe 79 series. Should arrive within next few months. Would love to see more touringn/trip content in the future. Thanks again best of luck to me lol
Thanks Joying for the quality products. Have heard great things about them Currently drive a 2012 wrx but hopefully I will have a Hilux SR5 in the driveway soon for work & some off-roading/camping
Thank you Joying! I have an EK1 and NB/NA MX5. I watched your full brake upgrade video and was able to complete the poor mans 262 and drum and to disc conversion on my ek1. Couldn't have done it without your video! Id love to see a must have mods street/track edition for the EK chassis and hear your thoughts on each.
Thank you Joying - I drive a Toyota FJ Cruiser in the "almost but not quite sandy taupe" colour as well as a Hyundai i30N. The FJ is in serious need of a headunit upgrade as the factory unit is terrible. This Android unit looks amazing. Content-wise I'm really enjoying the channel but would love to see more 4wd'ing and camping videos in the future 👌
Thank you Joying! I have a 94 Mazda RX-7 Touring. I'd like to see more content based on new technology being retrofitted into older vehicle like the EK, FD, or the LandCruiser.
Thanks Joying! And cheers Johnathon for the review and competition, I own a 2011 76 series with a stock as a rock head unit & sound system 😂 after watching your vid, this joying unit would be unreal in the cruiser! Keep it up mate. Cheers
Thank you Joying! Would love one of these to modernise the interior of my BNR32. Have always looked at them but didn’t ever commit. Would love to see more DIY videos.
Thank you Joying for making high quality affordable products! I drive a 1974 Mazda Repu 13B turbo and 1995 Suzuki Carry Kei Truck Another great video JC 🤙
Thanks Joying ! I currently have a Nissan NP300 with a joying unit and have recommended them to so many people I now have a 2022 79 series that’s arrived and that I’m building in my garage at the moment can’t wait to have a big build done best unit for the best car hands down ! Thanks again joying
Loving your car collection and your attention to detail with the cars. Looking forward to more track vids with the civic and RX7! Slowly building up my N70 Hilux for more offroading adventures :D
Thank you Johnathon. Great video of the Joying product. Structured well and price point up front was appreciated. I have a 79 single cab. Would like to put the Joying unit in.
Thank you Joying. I'm daily driving a defender 90 and i finally went through with upgrading the speakers to overpower the engine noise. Also 17:07 am in the same boat, cant stand free spotify and theres no way im paying £10 a month when i could use yt and listen to it for free. Great video, very detailed in showing the install. Cant wait to see more vids in the future
Entered, thanks! Very cool re-defender. I've driven one. 2 inch lift on 35s. Closest feeling to driving a 79 before having driven one! Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for the mad video mate really appreciate it have been looking for a head unit for a while now n now know what I want. joying have made a perfect unit would love one in my 79 series will be one of my first mods of the stock girl. Looking forward to seeing more low cost mods
Hey, thanks for the review, is the unit still running smoothly, does it lag when it gets hot ie: big trips up north etc, I have a mate who had some issues with his unit lagging. I like the look & feel of this head unit but don't want something that will not function smoothly all of the time
Hey mate no problems! Yes it is working perfectly. I park it outdoors and was worried it would struggle on the hot days but hasn't had any issue. I had a very intermittent screen flicker which turned out to be the ribbon cable to the screen. Joying sent me a replacement and it's been perfect since. Still very happy with it - use it daily. No lag at all, the cheaper units which may look the same will lag - they also sell a faster snapdragon CPU but I'm not sure how much faster it could be... hope this is helpful
The casing of the screen is so exposed to the Aussie sun it's turned a dark bronze... just cosmetic, works perfectly as it should. Will do a long term review soon
Ty for feedback Did you end up changing the brackets & moving the screen up a bit. How is ur access to top hazard button, I'm guessing it would be best relocating it once you move the unit up, also can you still easily use aircon controls without interference from screen
I'm looking at purchasing latest JOYING 10.1" Android12 head unit 8GB +128GB slightly torn between other (Aussie) 9" dash mount models, because they do seem to have a good reputation for performance for a while now. The 10.1" screen looks unreal (if moved up slightly on dash) & new version has some nice easy swipe functions while driving +HDMI ...🤔
Yes i ended up mounting the screen onto an alloy plate and moved it about an inch higher and remounted the feet. It's at the perfect height! I can still access the hazard switch and haven't relocated it. You can buy a switch relocation but i've got my radio mounted behind the dash with the uhf going to that switch location.
Quality video, keen to look into this headunit further for my 76, would also be keen to know how you go with the bracket and moving the screen a little higher. Keep up the cruiser videos, enjoying them..
Entered, thanks! Thanks for the feedback! It will be such a simple bracket - I will do it shortly and hopefully include it in the next video. Good luck
Thanks for your videos matey, specifically the RX7 content which massively helped me with my Haltech install. If I win I’ll try and fit it in the FD otherwise I’m sure my mrs will love it in her car too 😊
Entered, thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful. Was wondering how you'd gone with it. FD content is coming back soon... been very busy running this motor in. Thanks for sticking around with the other content 🥰
Thanks JC and Joying. great review and would love to see more down to earth reviews . Im doing 79 build as well and this looks Mint. I have android and totally agree with your Android aspects. Jon - what scan guage are you usuing - any thoughts as to what to get.
Entered, thanks! haha i must admit i'm a sucker for all things android I am using the Ultragauge OBD2 reader - got it from Precise Auto Had it on the hilux also - love it!
Thanks for the video mate! Id love to chuck this in my 79 once it arrives! would love to keep seeing videos just like this one with honest reviews, thanks to joying for making this giveaway possible, good luck guys
Thank you joying. I own a innocent blue mica FD myself but would love to gift this to my cousin for his gq patrol. Anyway keep up the great content Jonathan 🙂
Thank you Joying. I have a 2015 Mitsubishi Pajero NX and a 2000 Mazda Rx7 FD so I enjoy camping and track days just like yourself, but don't seem to have enough time for either. I'm loving the detail you go into your videos Jonathan, especially all the rebuild videos you did with Omar at Raceonly. keep up the good content

Hi Jonathan, really informative video, thanks! I have a 2016, 76 series so do you know if this type of head unit would fit into the 76 as the factory standard unit is different in the 76 to the 79? Phil
Hi Jonathan, just wondering what model reversing camera you are running. Polaris?
Also how is the visual at night?
Hey mate correct it's Polaris
Visual is amazing at night!!! Partly due to the reverse lights from the Norweld tray. They're LED and super bright which does help with the image clarity
Great review Jonathon. I went out and bought the Joying unit as I have the same car. I'm just stuck on the Video retention harness you say i need to get the ground from the joying harness and the reversing trigger. I've watched the video countless times but cannot see were to connect those two cables to the joying harness. If you could help it would be muchly appreciated.
Hey mate thanks for the feedback!
There are 3 wires needed to wire the Aerpro APVTY04 video retention harness
1) Yellow RCA male --> yellow RCA female from Joying harness
2) Purple wire (12V reverse trigger) --> reverse trigger on the 79. Look for a GREEN wire from one of the stock connectors from the original 79 series headunit. This GREEN wire that runs to a coil of black split conduit tubing. You can test it with a multimeter - pop it in reverse and this wire should read 12V. And 0V in other gears.
3) Black wire with ring terminal --> cut the ring terminal off and splice/solder/tap into the black wire of the joying harness (you can double check with a multimeter if this is a negative/ground)
Good luck and message me on FB if you can't sort it out.

@@JCYT Thank you so much, you have been a great help.
Question: Your unit shows a 16 band equalizer but the product link advertised as a 32 band equalizer?
Hey mate
At the time of purchase (almost a year ago) those were the specs listed in the video. Joying continuously upgrade their products and perhaps they have upgraded the equaliser. Best to email them for confirmation
*FOLLOWUP QUESTIONS IN THIS PINNED POST*
Q: Can you access the hazard switch?
A: Yes easy access behind the top of the headunit and it's not too tight either. I wanted to relocate it to where i've got the RJ45 outlet for the UHF. The same way PVS have done it. But i actually like where the RJ45 outlet is.. so currently in two minds about it. The only difference it would make is if someone else was driving the car.
Q: What is the model of the unit? Single or double DIN?
A: My particular model is a double DIN. A single DIN would work the same and perhaps would suit better as the screen could sit higher up without needing me to make a bracket.
That said i cannot confirm fitment!
Q: Link for unit?
A: www.joyingauto.com/newest-high-resolution-1920-1200-android-10-1-double-din-car-radio.html
I just need a reverse camera for the stock unit. Is there an alibaba camera.
They cost $300. Not much more for the whole head unit
Hey mate
polarisgps.com.au/product/toyota-reverse-camera-integration/#camera-choice
This is what i had for my stock 79 head unit.
If you can find those parts separately OR do your own wiring loom, you could make this significantly cheaper.
@@JCYT Note: This kit will not suit the 2024 79 series LC Toyota. 250 for compatible one.
Not really tec minded, but wondering about speakers, and wiring them, can't have top of line unit,coming through 4"std speakers..
Hey mate
I'm still running stock 4 inch. I don't love them but do the job. If I had all the money I would upgrade them but not a priority for me 👍
Hey, really good video, thanks. If you don’t mind I have a couple of questions. Is it annoying that there is no physical volume knob? I was thinking that would be a problem off-road. Do you know if Joying have anything that would fit a land cruiser 70 series with a volume knob? Also are there any smaller units, say 8 inch, that would fit? Can you turn the unit off independently of the ignition? Cheers
Hey mate sorry for the late reply!
1) To be honest yes - for a 70 series cruiser (which doesn't have steering wheel controls) i do find it annoying without the knob. However i plan to install a steering wheel with buttons soon. In my civic i have a joying unit with the physical knobs which are extremely useful.
2) All the units smaller will fit as they all mount in the same way. For a more natural fit i reckon the 8 inch is perfect. Personally i prefer the seamless look (with steering wheel controls)
3) You can turn off the screen from the drop down menu on the joying unit (puts it in sleep mode). Simply touch the screen to turn it back on. Alternatively if you wanted the unit fully shut down you would have to wire in a switch.
Hope that's helpful!
@@JCYT thanks for the answers. I've since browsed the Joying website some more. I noticed that the 9 inch has physical buttons and apart from the screen it looks the same as the one you installed. Am I missing anything there? Would it install the same way as yours? I think 9 inch would go ok, would probably be able to see the orignal clock and hazard lights button a little better. Cheers
Where abouts did you get your spare tires mounts for tray
Hey mate
It came with the Norweld tray. Is that what you were referring to? I did a full review on the 79 if you wanted to check it out
Can we attach a seperate microphone with this headunit?
Yes you can use any microphone with the standard 3.5mm jack
Hey man can you advice me why my new joying 10.1 inch keep draining my car battery.
I’ve Toyota Celica 2006
I’m stack ? What do need to do ?
It sounds like your car has an electrical issue. That or installer error. The Joying unit enters sleep mode and draws next to no amperage with ACC switched off. I would check the wiring first. If wiring is good, disconnect the Joying when you turn the car off and see if your battery is still draining.
I'm reviewing the company not the specific head unit
The product is actually pretty good BUT the customer service is the worst probably in the world they're terrible I had a problem a month after and their solution was to send me a part and make me get it fixed myself and when that part didn't work and decided I needed a new screen they want to charge me for the screen and for shipping I've only had it 9 months AND REPORTED MY PROBLEM AFTER 4 weeks and I bought it direct from the company so I would think twice about recommending this company
Thank you Jonathan! Awesome review. Would like to know how to get the Nova Launcher? Thanks
Hey mate!
In the Google Play store.
Nova Launcher Prime 👌
Great video mate! What were the specs of your mates new joying head unit? Looking at getting the same one from them. Also did he have to buy any other parts from them? Cheers
Thanks Jonathan, great review. I have a Subaru 2008 WRX STI which had a factory nav unit. It was replaced a few year ago with a Pioneer head unit which supports android auto. I want to replace this with a new Joying unit.
Joying’s web site seems to indicate they have a warehouse in Australia.
Do they have warehouse in Australia?
Does the 4G support all Australian Carriers?
Hey mate sweet! I actually have a mate with one fitted in his wrx sti I think his one is a 2009.
As far as I know yes they do have a warehouse in aus but my headunits have all come from the China location. At the time they didn't have many models locally.
The 4G is compatible yes. I had an older Joying unit in my hilux with a telstra 4G sim. You need to go into the settings an enter a few settings. If you get stuck with it reach out and I can send you the settings.
Well, that's what I was looking for my 79DC, an android device that really works. Your video is almost one year old and I was wondering how the screen looks like; scratchy? Any suggestion about RAM & ROM? Any newer model to consider?
Hi mate sorry for the slow response.
Yes 1 year on it's running very well. I had an intermittent flicker about 2 months ago (it would happen like once a week). I brought this up with Joying and they sent me out a new ribbon cable to the screen which fixed the problem.
6gb RAM and 128gb ROM i have been happy with. It exceeds my needs. They have released some newer models now, if i'm bored maybe i'll upgrade one day!
Hi Jonathon, You mentioned it may not be great for apple users and better for android or will apple work just as well? Thanks....Steering wheel looks great...looks like i may have to copy you!
What i mean by that comment is that the android based system requires far more customisation and tinkering than apple interface. For long time apple users, it will take some adjusting to get used to the menu/settings setup etc. Hope that helps!
Your steering wheel is on the wrong side!!!....lol.!!jk....great video!!,.you have made joying some money, I'm on my way to buy one now!!!....cheers mate!!
It is on the RIGHT side! Enjoy mate
Is it worth upgrading to the 8gb model for $40usd? As in would a headunit even use the extra memory coz Iphones dont even have that much
Hey mate
I have the 6gb model without upgrade in my other car and it exceeds my needs. So no imo it's not worth it unless you are running many apps at the same time or need the extra storage capacity.
Hi, would I be able to wire this up on the face-lifted 79?
Thanks 🙏
Hi mate
I don't see why you couldn't. As long as it uses the same ISO harness which i believe the facelift and prefacelift share.
Jono ! Thanks joying, with out them this wouldn’t have come to light.
Didn’t think my cruiser needed an upgrade but after watching this jono I think it might now haha
I’m still keen to see a review on the net gear data setup you have
Entered, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the feedback. The netgear setup is working really well but i need to take it out bush to really see if it helps with the type of "overlanding" i do. Hopefully soon!
Thanks Jono and thanks Joying. Can you please confirm this exact model head unit you used pls? Single or double Din pls?
Entered, thanks for watching!
Sorry i should have put it in the description. It's there now and also in the pinned post.
My particular model is a double DIN. A single DIN would work the same and perhaps would suit better as the screen could sit higher up without needing me to make a bracket.
That said i cannot confirm fitment!
just came across this vid and love it and think it will improve my troopy sound system (not hard ), did you work out how to lift screen up ,this is my only concern
Hey mate sorry for getting back to you so slowly.
Yes i did! I used a sheet of aluminium, screwed in the 4 clips into the bracket and screwed down the screen to the aluminum sheet. I don't remember how much i lifted it up but it was about an inch. The only problem i faced was having to retap the screw thread on the screen as i could not source and little screws locally (or don't know how to). They're tiny little electrical ones. I found what i could at jaycar (M3) and carefully retapped them. No problems though. When i get a moment, i will do a video for everyone asking.
It really isn't that bad without being lifted though. Actually most of the ones on the market are at this height also.
Hey bro! How did you change your wallpaper? I just installed mine in ek. You really did a good video.
Hey mate
Off the top of my head... There's a gallery in the menu. Choose the photo and there is a set wallpaper option. If you get stuck lmk i'll give you better instructions.
Thanks Joying for the compo. Just bought 2022 79 myself and enjoy hearing the tech ideas you have done or looking into.
Entered, thanks!
A little tech really brings the 79 alive hey!
Good luck
You’ve got a faulty loom with your BlackVue camera. It should only tell you what mode you are in once.
Good spot.
Yes it was a faulty unit. I mentioned it in one of my videos. Blackvue replaced it under warranty 👌
Thanks joying, will be going into my 2016 toyota landcruiser 76 series
Thanks
Entered, thanks!
Good luck
Hey mate, grate video just wondering if the make them for a 2017 79 series landcruiser
Cheers! Yep, it's a universal unit but those harnesses adapt it to any 1980s+ 70 series cruiser. Check the video description for the harnesses you need. Hope that's helpful.
Hi Jonathan, I'm just wondering if that unit is going to fit on my RAV4 2020?
Hi mate
It is a universal headunit but will need to fit in a double DIN area. Not sure about RAV4 2020
Awesome & honest review, really informative. Love where you are taking the channel and congrats on the 1K subs, keep up the good work!!
Thank you mate! I am very happy :)
Thanks for the support
Thanks For review and thanks joying for the giveaway. Isuzu Dmax ;)
Entered, thanks!
Good luck
Thanks for the video Jonathan you inspired me to get one. I got it installed in my 79. I got 2 questions for you.
Does your wired external mic give you grief?
How do you lower the ring volume?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
Hey mate
The wired external microphone sucks. I still use mine but will upgrade the mic when i get around to it. I've heard a few people using Rode micro and Alpine external microphone with good success.
I don’t think there's a way to lower ring volume. I find it a bit loud too. You could change the ringtone to a track with lower volume? That could be the way around it.
Hope you are enjoying it!
@@JCYT Thanks Jonathan. Will look into a new mic. And the ringtone I can't do nothing with it. Ah Well. Other then that the unit is awesome. Thanks for the reply.
Hey jonathan i fixed my mic issue. I have a vid on my channel hope it helps. th-cam.com/video/sHxdevRGmPY/w-d-xo.html
Hey JohnO, mate I noticed Joying has the 11.6inch screen, will this size be compatible like the 10.1 along with the 300 steering wheel upgrade. Site says it is still not available for Aus
Hi mate
I asked joying this and they said yes it's compatible with a software update. I believe it could fit the 79... the screen dimensions. But it would be super close to the vents! I'm pretty keen to try rhe 11.6 too haha. If you get it please report back 🙏
@@JCYT thank you mate 🙏🏽 again appreciate your channel informative entertaining. I will be putting in the order 🤸🏽♂️ with Joying will keep ya posted 👍🏽
Hey mate great video, plan to get a joying when I save up a bit more. Too busy buying other parts for the 79. 😂 You wouldn't have the link to the polaris aliexpress model would you? Love to save some coin just for now as I don't even have bluetooth at the moment. 😅
www.aliexpress.com/item/32955909943.html
Sorry this took a while. If you dig deeper, you may find for cheaper :P
@@JCYT Legend 💪🏾
How is the bluetooth quality on a phone call?
Thanks Joying for a brilliant product and thanks Jonathan for the review
My pleasure mate!
How did you go about moving the screen up level with the dash?? Cheers
Yes i did! I used a sheet of aluminium, screwed in the 4 clips into the bracket and screwed down the screen to the aluminum sheet. I don't remember how much i lifted it up but it was about an inch.

Great vid Jonathan! Your video made me bite the bullet and get the same unit for my Pajero!
Wondering if you know where the setting is to turn on the options bar at the bottom of the screen? Can’t seem to find it on my unit. Any help would be awesome!
Hi mate thanks for the feedback! I'll have a look for you tomorrow. Have you tried swiping up from the bottom to bring it up?
@@JCYT That would be awesome! Yep tried swiping up but nothing shows.
I’m assuming this would work on the new 76 series?
I'd assume so! Unless there are safety features built in to the new model factory head unit i don't know about
Hey mate. Great video, did you buy this off of the Chinese website? Any drama with shipping? Keen just a bit cautious.
Hey mate, thanks for the feedback. Yes always have bought off their website but I know they also list on a few other platforms. Shipping has always been between 5 days to 2 weeks. You get a tracking number 2 days after. They air freight but I think they dispatch when they fulfil larger quantities. Hope that helps!
@@JCYT good to know thanks for your reply!
Hi Jonathon just wondering if you are still happy with this head unit?
Hey mate!
Yeah love it! I wish it had a volume button but got something cool in the works 💪
Hi hope all is well Where can I purchase this in south africa ?
Hi mate
Best to purchase direct from Joying website
I'm sorry but I couldn't focus on anything other than the RX7. Your fault.
Hahaha welcome to the channel mate
A few videos in the works on the RX-7 at the moment stay tuned!
@@JCYT Thank you! And great review on the head unit, most videos are like 30 seconds long without detail but you went through everything. And cannot wait for the RX7 videos!!!
I really like it how can I purchase this joying top of the line head unit
Direct from Joying i find is best! Check link in description
Hi, how do you active the bottom of the screen volume icons ? As lots people struggling to find the volume on 10.1 inch model
Hey mate I've had a look through the menu and cannot find it. It never needed me to activate in any menu. Maybe it's worth resetting it at the button behind the screen? Have you contacted Joying?
Just saw you have posted it in the joying forum yet you haven't even received the unit yet?
@@JCYT not yet still awaiting for delivery, status show item currently with uk customs passed 5 days
Looks great I need to save up but would love to win one for my 76 series
Entered, thanks!
Good luck
Thanks to joying and jonathon that would look smick in my jk wrangler
Entered, thanks!
you can adjust the height of the clips on the back, unscrew them and then screw them into a different hole
I have done this and the unit is set in the highest position already. The double DIN mounting locations are quite spaced apart so i believe the single DIN option (feet closer together) may allow the unit to be mounted higher. Not sure if that makes any sense haha
@@JCYT ah haha sorry bro, imma be honest i skipped that part. yeah i get you
Love your Chanel no nonsense 79 driver as well thanks joying
Entered, thanks!
Appreciate the kind words.
What is that device near your steering wheel? Can you name it?
Directly on top of the steering wheel? On the steering column
It's an Ultragauge OBD2 reader. Reads engine vitals etc.
Gday, good review. Will it fit 2011, 76 series
Thanks mate yes it will fit. Good luck
Awesome vid Jonathan. You mentioned your mate installed this unit into his N80 Hilux, did he do an install vid for that or at least have the list of harnesses he used to ensure all the functionality he had on the factory unit is accessible on the joying? Cheers mate
Hey mate
It was completely plug and play. Nothing extra was required. I ordered the kit for him and he installed it himself 👌
@@JCYT so no harnesses were required?
@@TheLifeOfLeonK no additional harnesses were required
have you got any info on the 4g router / antenna setup you've got going?
Hey mate, thanks for asking.
I do and i promise a video will come before the end of the year. The results (in metro Sydney) are promising but i want to do the video justice and am waiting to go out bush to see how it performs.
The setup is:
Nighthawk M6 PRO
RFI 6.5 DB 5G antenna
Telstra SIM linked to my data plan (shared data)
I got the same one, but with a stock launcher and I got the cup holder remote.
Do you like it? The stock launcher just works, but i like the darker theme of the nova launcher. Does the cup holder remote work well?
@@JCYT It works just fine. I love it.
Thanks Joying
I drive a 200 series so need to try one in it.
Entered, thanks!
Good luck
Sweet video bro! Me and a mate have just purchased one. Have you figured out a way to mount the display higher?
Hey mate!
Yes i've figure out a way just need to get around to it. I bought a flat sheet of stainless steel about 1mm thick. It's hard to explain but will screw the plate onto the back of the screen where the legs used to go and relocate the legs about 2cm lower onthe plate.
Do you have any pics you could send through
Hey bro how did you get the background
Hey mate how’s the head unit held up over time?
Hey mate! It's great 👍 happy with it still. Only thing is the powdercoat on the screen has faded brown. Suits the sandy colour 😂
Y el botón de parqueo?
Is split screen smooth on this say one side is maps and other youtube?
Hi mate
Don't usually use it but tried it out today! It's awesome! No lag. Had Maps and TH-cam running. Haven't tried with more demanding apps (memory wise)
@@JCYT that's awesome thanks for the reply
It's been a year with the new headunit. Does it still hold up?
Hey mate
Love the unit - still going strong and use it daily. The back of the screen (black finish) has faded so now it's kind of bronze. That's all i can fault it haha. Overall extremely happy with it
@JCYT that's fantastic, I saw the other video of you installing the steering wheel. I also noticed that the unit looked to be placed a little high on the dash. Did you end up making that bracket and if so, how did you go about doing that?
Huge thanks to joying for offering a great prize and affordable solution for the 79. I also drive a 79 series dual cab and would love to replace my outdated Polaris unit with one of these in future

Looking forward to seeing more low cost mods
Entered, thanks!
Thanks for the feedback and good luck!
Hey, thanks for the review, is the unit still running smoothly, does it lag when it gets hot ie: big trips up north etc, I have a mate who had some issues with his unit lagging. I like the look & feel of this head unit but don't want something that will not function smoothly all of the time
Hey mate no problems!
Yes it is working perfectly. I park it outdoors and was worried it would struggle on the hot days but hasn't had any issue. I had a very intermittent screen flicker which turned out to be the ribbon cable to the screen. Joying sent me a replacement and it's been perfect since. Still very happy with it - use it daily.
No lag at all, the cheaper units which may look the same will lag - they also sell a faster snapdragon CPU but I'm not sure how much faster it could be... hope this is helpful
The casing of the screen is so exposed to the Aussie sun it's turned a dark bronze... just cosmetic, works perfectly as it should. Will do a long term review soon
Ty for feedback
Did you end up changing the brackets & moving the screen up a bit.
How is ur access to top hazard button, I'm guessing it would be best relocating it once you move the unit up, also can you still easily use aircon controls without interference from screen
I'm looking at purchasing latest JOYING 10.1" Android12 head unit 8GB +128GB
slightly torn between other (Aussie) 9" dash mount models, because they do seem to have a good reputation for performance for a while now.
The 10.1" screen looks unreal (if moved up slightly on dash) & new version has some nice easy swipe functions while driving +HDMI
...🤔
Yes i ended up mounting the screen onto an alloy plate and moved it about an inch higher and remounted the feet. It's at the perfect height! I can still access the hazard switch and haven't relocated it. You can buy a switch relocation but i've got my radio mounted behind the dash with the uhf going to that switch location.
Quality video, keen to look into this headunit further for my 76, would also be keen to know how you go with the bracket and moving the screen a little higher. Keep up the cruiser videos, enjoying them..
Entered, thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! It will be such a simple bracket - I will do it shortly and hopefully include it in the next video.
Good luck
