Stapon S8 Review - A Cheaper Alternative to Growl/Navitopia

Stapon S8 is a Android Head Unit that has decent specs at a relatively affordable price (Compared to Local shops like Growl or Navitopia).
If you have the decent know how on automobile wirings, this can even be a DIY project.
You surely lose out on the warranty but are the positives enough to consider this or should you pay for the convenience of warranty?

nice video! really informative!
will the canbus be used for any toyota model?

[@N3King]

it is better to ask the sellers on Lazada, tell them what model and they will provide you with the correct canbus

[@BOKPUAVIDEO]

stapon is very friendly very easy to install since it come with instructions the only hard part is the wiring.

[@basherero2440]

Very informative video! By the way how long is the boot up time of the unit?

[@N3King]

Thank you!
The boot time of the unit is within 30s :)

Hi. Just bought this on watching your video.
However, while i attempted to install this on my own, i noticed there is no way to use the rear camera. Did you use the stock in your car or the aftermarket from stapon included in the package?

[@N3King]

Hello, for our Innova I am using the reverse camera that came with Stapon. The 2016 does not have a stock camera. It is possible that you may need to get a cable converter to have it work with your car's stock camera
