I've never clicked on a video faster in my life. Seen a few of your other headunit videos but as soon as I saw this video and your name in the sidebar I subbed. Been looking like crazy for an android HU with 8 core, 32 rom 2 ram and with flush fitment on FT86 cars. Just wish it had android 7 nougat and it would be perfect!
Yeah, thats the way i wanted to Mario 8 core with 7.1. I just couldn't find it! they just don't make it (afaik). I didn't mind the 6.0, because i can help you guys out by giving you my experience 6.0 vs 7.1. I'm still testing and wil give you guys my feedback this week. i need to test out the gpu performance of each. I know thats where the px5 vs rk3188 really shine. However, i dont really run 3d apps on a car head unit. haha
John Nguyen I found a company by the name of “XTrons” that makes 7.0 8 cores! Look into them maybe? Could be an awesome HU. I havent pulled the trigger on getting one yet but maybe you can help me lean towards the better company brand!
honestly haven't been to thrilled with the 8-core right now. For some app it doesn't run as smoothly as a quad core. 8 weaker men < 4 stronger men (especially for compatibility) I need more testing
Hi John, I know this is a year-old video but I'm thinking of buying this Seicane HU for my 2017 BRZ. As you know, it has both steering wheel controls and B/U camera. I understand that this HU can handle both. But I must confess that I know nothing about working with cars in general and electronics in particular. But I'm an IT programmer and can work with computers. Do you think the install is simple enough that even I can do it? All the wiring looks challenging to me. Also, I'm not sure from your video how to connect my B/U cam and SW controls. Do you think the DAisata from Aliepress is a better HU? I like the physical knobs of the Seicane. BTW, I love your vids. Very informational.
Hey Hiep, You'll be fine with the install. It's very easy compare to aftermarket head unit from other manufacture because it comes with a plug and play setup. As far as steering wheel controls, that should be plug and play too. If not, it's literally 3 wires . These manufacture keep updating their harness, so you might get lucky with a super easy back up camera harness include. As far as seicane or dasaita it's up to looks. I noticed the dasaita one sounds better, so keep that in mind. I had both at one time, and Kim (my girlfriend who owns the brz), prefers the dasaita, She daily the the car, so i'll leave it at that.
Hey, John! I know this is a bit of an older video of yours, but I figured I'd take a shot and ask a question. I am curious as to if you can disable that beep/tone that plays over the speakers after interacting with the headunit? (Touching the screen, adjusting volume, etc.)
Any tips on how to connect the Bluetooth OBDII to this Head unit? I can't get it to pair to save my life. The unit recognizes the OBDII but does nothing when try to connect. I've rebooted the unit twice, no luck. I also tried using the pin 0000 and 1234.
please help i got this radio but the door speakers aren't working for me i tried to connect the antenna blue wire to accessorie wire and nothing happened
FYI, The part you linked for the back up camera harness + AUX is actually different from the one you use for your instructions (AX-SUB28SWC). I think the one linked for amazon to buy is actually for the Toyota (AX-TOY28SWC). They are actually completely different in the 28 pin setup.
I see spaghetti nice double din though. How's the EQ and dsp? High pass filter (Hpf), bandpass filter (bpf), low pad filter (lpf)? Does it have good voltage running off the rca's? Meaning audio output front, rear and subwoofer? How's the DVD, app, sync, bt, and etc. Does it have HDMI? I do like the factory look. Any other bells and whistles I didn't mention. I hope this is a great unit. :)
Most newer android units have "one" preamp output. What is the soulution to get subwoofer signal to amps the have "two" inputs ? I can seem to find a definitive answer.
Thanks for the video. I installed a Seicane Android 9.0 head unit in my 2013 Scion FRS. It worked right after connecting all wiring harnesses. But after I turned off the power and turned back on again. The screen is blank but I have audio. The manual said that I have to hook up the green wire to the car parking brake switch. Did you have to do that with your installation? I could not find the green wire on the power harness
I had a question, so the link you provided for the head unit is the following: www.seicane.com/double-din-android-in-dash-navigation-dvd-player-1996-2009-toyota-prado-with-radio-auto-a-v-3g-wifi-bluetooth-aux-mirror-link-obd2-rearview-camera-s6936g But the head unit that looks like the one you have installed is: www.seicane.com/seicane-s126003-2005-2011-toyota-vitz-echo-aftermarket-android-gps-navigation-system-with-radio-bluetooth-touch-screen-dvd-player-3g-wifi-obd2-mirror-link-steering-wheel-control So which is it?
I like the look of it and may order this same one to replace the Joying Unit I have. Although the Joying one works well for now. I like that this one fits within the dash fascia. Do you know if the wiring harness and extra cables I bought for my Joying Unit will work with this one?
i am on my 3rd android unit. Good concept with quality issues. The section of bandwidth that they should be using for high quality bluetooth music is not being used hence the music comes with no fidelity on some units if you are using music on your phone. Currently having an issue with the mic not working and trying to get the supplier to sort.
Do you know what power IC this headunit uses? Their website doesn't list it and support seems flaky at best (they responded to my question for the power amplifier IC with "please provide a picture of dash to confirm fitment").
Hi John, I'm looking this unit in details for a '14 GT86. Just guessing if you were able finally to see if the 8 week guys (octacore) were better than the 4 strong guys (quad core) unit. Is this unit worth after your tests? Thank you very much! David
Remote wires are usually blue and white. But i went to a car audio shop yesterday and they said to splice into the ACC wire. So i'm not too sure anymore haha. Did you remember where you wired yours up to? Thank you!
I hear foresters is a similar setup. check out this one www.seicane.com/2008-2013-subaru-forester-android-gps-radio-dvd-player-navigation-system-touch-screen-bluetooth-obd2-dvr-tv-1080p-video-3g-wifi-ipod-usb-sd-rearview-camera-steering-wheel-control-s167068?acc=45c48cce2e2d7fbdea1afc51c7c6ad26
I've been starting to look for a replacement radio for my '15 BRZ. What is that antenna on the back of the unit? Is it for HD Radio, and if so, what part is it?
Hi, the link for this model seems to be down on the seicane website. Do you have a link to the same unit or an updated one that would fit and install as easily on my toyota 86 (2013)? Thanks!
I went to a few local audio shops today and asked if they installed this type of headunit, 1 did a full install with upgraded infinity components and coaxial speakers and used an oscope to see how clean the deck was. He said it puts 2.39v @ 1%thd which is not bad, kenwood, clarion, alpine, sony and pioneer have decks that put out that same voltage just not their flagship lineup. They just cant recall which android version or brand it was, so would it be possible to have yours tested at a shop and post a vid? It will help us audio geeks to go with this android deck compare to the others out there
Great vid, thanks for the upload. Question...I just purchased a GT86 with full TRD package and an upgraded stereo screen with Nav from Toyota, is this what I would be getting? They were rather coy with telling me anything more about the upgrade and it was $1,200 it better be nice.
Yes, if you have fujitsu then you should be fine when it comes to fitment. They also have one on their website labeled forester but i'm not too sure if thats for the base or harman kardon
John Nguyen so thats an oem part. Very nice man. Here in South Africa they sell the cars but nothing else. Not even a key ring. We have to import everything and it takes months to arrive. So frustrating.
are there any software issues with other car brands? because i looked at the measurements and it would fit my suzuki grand vitara 2008 i cant find any decent ones for my car
Glad to know that this unit has a functioning cd/DVD drive. Thanks for the recon on this unit. Looking forward to putting it into my 2017 BRZ with PP. Hope steering wheel controls work
Yeah you can get it to work. Steering wheel control is 3 wires so it's super easy to wire up. the 2016 brz and 2017 have the same head unit. You need to change it out the dash piece because of trapezoid shape!
John Nguyen any chance you can update your wiring guide for aux, backup camera, and steering wheel controls on ft86club? Just so it's a bit more detailed and better explained/laid out?
i linked in the description the forum but thats as good as it gets! i wouldnt be able any better. It's something you need hands on with and then its like "OH Yeah, thats not bad at all"
I found this one, looks awesome www.seicane.com/seicane-s09255-2013-2014-ford-edge-android-dvd-player-gps-navigation-system-obd2-bluetooth-radio-hd-1024-600-touch-screen-mirror-link-dvr-tv-video-canbus-wifi-usb-sd-backup-camera-steering-wheel-control?acc=45c48cce2e2d7fbdea1afc51c7c6ad26
I just received this same headunit and I was wondering if your 10pin harness was properly wired to turn on the factory amp? Mine was missing that pin (#9) entirely. Luckily I stole the pin off another harness and tied it to the adjacent pin(#8). Also did yours come with an external microphone?
Mine didn't come with an extra microphone but it sounds okay the way it is. I've been testing it and it sounds good. I'm in my wrx and my gf in the brz. as far as turning on the factory amp i don't remember, i know mine i had to do that
Alan Dunagan you have to add pin #9 and you can connect it to pin 8 (blue color, I believe). If you cannot do that, run a jumper wire from pin 8 on the headunit side to where pin 9 would go on the factory wiring side.
thanks, i should be able to do that. it came with a few harnesses for different cars so i can probably pull something off one of those and put it on this one.
Irving Anaya is pin 8 needed or can I just move it over to pin 9? If I can get it out of the harness. By jumping it, do you mean to splice into the wires?
I got the same unit and I can't get my speakers to work. But the head unit turns on and everything. Just no sound. I do have aftermarket speakers, sub and amp. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Basically plug and play but no sound.
Show me an android unit that can tap into lanewatch factory cameras and I will buy. That's the only factor holding me back from getting an andtoid unit for my '17 Honda HRV.
I recently bought a PX3/android 7.1/2gb ram/32gb rom unit from pumpkin auto but I'm sort of disappointed with the speed. Switching between Google maps and Google Play Music is a bit slow for me. I'm interested if this octacore if it'll help but I saw your comment that it's a bit slow too. I'll be on the lookout for an update video otherwise fitment looks great!
Speed has been great so far! With some minor difficulty. It's blazing fast. However, it doesn't play nicely with one app. If I run the app, it chugs hard and causes other apps to freeze. It''s not a legit app off the playstore but it's an app I use on my quad core rk3188 on time. I read before purchasing the octacore that there has been some app compatibility issues. Thankfully, if you still want good fitment, there is another version of this same unit with the rk3188 (which is older (similar cpu performance) but perform just as good without the compatibility issue.) I need to do more testing. I shot a first impression video i plan on releasing sometime this week where i ask what you guys want to see. Then a full review later
John Nguyen which app if you don't mind me asking? The other issue I have with mine is that TH-cam will not show video (black screen with audio) after going to sleep with car off. I'm thinking of returning and going for a px5 unit. There are plenty of roms for px5 but none currently for px3/7.1
Yo John Nguyen you have the best Android head unit vids for sure. I was hoping you could help me out as I'm trying to purchase one for my car. 2012 Toyota Avalon base with JBL sound. Tweaters and speakers on each door and what I think is a subwoofer in the dash.....yo can you please let me know what wiring harnesses I need so I can put one of those bad boys in my car.....much appreciated. Keep up the good work man. Fellow Californian. Peace.
The wiring should be the toyota style 10+6 pin harness. That should get the unit booted up and playing audio. If not you just need to power the amp if your car has one. Other than that you are pretty much good to go.
Does this have any type of security system if someone breaks in and tries to steal it? will it become useless to the thief? wondering if you can add a pass code to it if the battery dies or if you want to sell it later in the future to another person. thanks!!
"the brz and the frs doesn't have the steering wheel controls"... reall? looking at the date you uploaded the video.. The've had steering shweel controls since 2016 based on the model and trim.
@@valentinedpg Dude, I'm not sure you understand how these things work. The 2017+ model of the 'twins' has new equipment, as in new instrument cluster, new steering wheel (with controls). Dont be a troll, its unbecomming!

John Nguyen so what all time 4 core unit would you recommend? Best of the best in your opinion from testing
Where did u get the front trim
Will it fight perfectly even without that after market piece you have on?
Kiyora curious as well?? Upvoting you
I have this but how do you wire front aux and USB?? Please respond still don’t know how to wire that part.
*Wipes perfectly clean screen with a fiber cloth rag*
What backup camera do you recommend for this head unit? My 2013 FRS does not come with a backup camera. Thanks!
Vinny Nguyen it offers one when you buy it. I just went with that

Wow, John, quick reply! Not expected but much appreciated. Thanks. You're doing a great job with your channel, keep it up.
Where’d you get that front trim piece at 2:52 ?
Would fit in the 2013 Scion Frs?
Hey, John! I know this is a bit of an older video of yours, but I figured I'd take a shot and ask a question. I am curious as to if you can disable that beep/tone that plays over the speakers after interacting with the headunit? (Touching the screen, adjusting volume, etc.)

very off topic but where did you get the shift nob and is there different colors?
Off topic but where did you get those carbon trim pieces where the a/c controls are?!
i used vivid's carbon fiber wrap. Easy to do, my girlfriend actually did one side, and i did the other. I have little experience and she had none.
Hi John, do you use the OEM GPS or did you also buy an adapter for that? If you bought an adapter for it, do you have a link for it?

So which is it?
either or would work. The one i have in this video is the one 7.1 one. I guess they changed it up.
Since you now have the new design in the description does this mean the new design being a 9in will also fit? is the one that you had installed a 9in?
I bought this unit. The brackets that i have wont let me fit the unit in. Can you share a link to buy the same brackets you bought?
i used the oem brackets that came off my car
John Nguyen the screw points dont match up on mine. I have a 2016 subaru brz. What do you have?
does this support reverse cam? soz kinda new to this - is this just another simple pin cable to hook up?
This head unit is the proper 200mm width so you don't need spacers in the 12-16 models right?
I'm very interesting in trying to get an android head unit, but they have hook ups for after market amps and how do they perform with those??
RESPOND ASAP PLEASE!!!!!!! Where am i able to get the metal side harness that you use to bolt the 4: 10mm bolts to the car its self??

Sac Car Scene it comes with its own harness. Certain things like USB and radio antenna can be transferred over. Easy realky
2:54 Is your front trim OEM?
i am on my 3rd android unit. Good concept with quality issues. The section of bandwidth that they should be using for high quality bluetooth music is not being used hence the music comes with no fidelity on some units if you are using music on your phone.

Can you do a top 10 Android headunits? I want to get one for my rsx.
I'l try to do one !
it looks different on website!
Is your back up camera after market?
Do you know what power IC this headunit uses? Their website doesn't list it and support seems flaky at best (they responded to my question for the power amplifier IC with "please provide a picture of dash to confirm fitment").
nah, i'm not sure
Hi John,
I'm looking this unit in details for a '14 GT86. Just guessing if you were able finally to see if the 8 week guys (octacore) were better than the 4 strong guys (quad core) unit. Is this unit worth after your tests?
Thank you very much!
David
yeah, i highly recommend this one because of the knobs and the performance.
its actually really affordable. Check the desciption
how about audio formats? it can play m4a?
did the harness come with a remote wire you can tap into for the amp? I'm intersted in the Eonon GA8163, but need to know if I can do that.
Yeah i believe so, i think it was the blue wire.
Remote wires are usually blue and white. But i went to a car audio shop yesterday and they said to splice into the ACC wire. So i'm not too sure anymore haha. Did you remember where you wired yours up to? Thank you!
Is that the unit for mazda 3?
+John Lovat did you ever figure it out
+John Lovat did you ever figure it out

how is this holding up do you still like it?
yea
will this fit a 2017 86? and, how is the sound quality compared to factory?

Yeah you can get it to work. Steering wheel control is 3 wires so it's super easy to wire up. the 2016 brz and 2017 have the same head unit. You need to change it out the dash piece because of trapezoid shape!
John Nguyen any chance you can update your wiring guide for aux, backup camera, and steering wheel controls on ft86club? Just so it's a bit more detailed and better explained/laid out?
i linked in the description the forum but thats as good as it gets! i wouldnt be able any better. It's something you need hands on with and then its like "OH Yeah, thats not bad at all"
the standard size is 7", what is the new player size?
Could you give me the name of a radio that will fit in a Ford Edge 2013?
I found this one, looks awesome

I just received this same headunit and I was wondering if your 10pin harness was properly wired to turn on the factory amp? Mine was missing that pin (#9) entirely. Luckily I stole the pin off another harness and tied it to the adjacent pin(#8). Also did yours come with an external microphone?
Mine didn't come with an extra microphone but it sounds okay the way it is. I've been testing it and it sounds good. I'm in my wrx and my gf in the brz.
as far as turning on the factory amp i don't remember, i know mine i had to do that
how do you turn on the amp? i have no bass at all and i'm assuming that's the issue.
Alan Dunagan you have to add pin #9 and you can connect it to pin 8 (blue color, I believe). If you cannot do that, run a jumper wire from pin 8 on the headunit side to where pin 9 would go on the factory wiring side.
thanks, i should be able to do that. it came with a few harnesses for different cars so i can probably pull something off one of those and put it on this one.
Irving Anaya is pin 8 needed or can I just move it over to pin 9? If I can get it out of the harness. By jumping it, do you mean to splice into the wires?
Does this unit allow you to use Android Auto GPS using your phone?
I got the same unit and I can't get my speakers to work. But the head unit turns on and everything. Just no sound. I do have aftermarket speakers, sub and amp. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Basically plug and play but no sound.
You have to get your amp wire and have it powered by the remote amp wire or the accessory wire to turn on the amp.
Would this fit a 2014 frs?
Yes!
Will you say this android unit outperforms the tipical Pioneer or Kenwood Sony high end units
about the same, i wouldn't go as far as say outperform
John Nguyen thank u very much for ur quick reply
Would this fit my 2013 brz?
Bruh
Show me an android unit that can tap into lanewatch factory cameras and I will buy. That's the only factor holding me back from getting an andtoid unit for my '17 Honda HRV.
How hard do you think this install would be on a first gen Scion tc?
should be the same, direct fit with my brothers 2015 tc
Anyone know what model this is or if it’s still available somewhere ???
I recently bought a PX3/android 7.1/2gb ram/32gb rom unit from pumpkin auto but I'm sort of disappointed with the speed. Switching between Google maps and Google Play Music is a bit slow for me. I'm interested if this octacore if it'll help but I saw your comment that it's a bit slow too. I'll be on the lookout for an update video otherwise fitment looks great!
Speed has been great so far! With some minor difficulty. It's blazing fast. However, it doesn't play nicely with one app. If I run the app, it chugs hard and causes other apps to freeze. It''s not a legit app off the playstore but it's an app I use on my quad core rk3188 on time. I read before purchasing the octacore that there has been some app compatibility issues. Thankfully, if you still want good fitment, there is another version of this same unit with the rk3188 (which is older (similar cpu performance) but perform just as good without the compatibility issue.) I need to do more testing. I shot a first impression video i plan on releasing sometime this week where i ask what you guys want to see. Then a full review later
John Nguyen which app if you don't mind me asking? The other issue I have with mine is that TH-cam will not show video (black screen with audio) after going to sleep with car off. I'm thinking of returning and going for a px5 unit. There are plenty of roms for px5 but none currently for px3/7.1
Yeah go for the px5. I have a patched spotify and it just doesn't run well.
Would this fit a 2012 scion tc?
yes it's the same
I have the 2014 subaru brz, do i have to repin 8 to 9 for the 10 pin?
i didnt have to repin anything
Do you have a 2015+?
Confirmed you would have to do the repin. I am working with Seicane to write them a review + install tips to supplement John's video
What bag system do you have ? What company
airlift performance
management is airlift v2
Yo John Nguyen you have the best Android head unit vids for sure. I was hoping you could help me out as I'm trying to purchase one for my car. 2012 Toyota Avalon base with JBL sound. Tweaters and speakers on each door and what I think is a subwoofer in the dash.....yo can you please let me know what wiring harnesses I need so I can put one of those bad boys in my car.....much appreciated. Keep up the good work man. Fellow Californian. Peace.
The wiring should be the toyota style 10+6 pin harness. That should get the unit booted up and playing audio. If not you just need to power the amp if your car has one. Other than that you are pretty much good to go.
John Nguyen good looking out sir. Your vids are awesome keep it up.
Does this have any type of security system if someone breaks in and tries to steal it? will it become useless to the thief? wondering if you can add a pass code to it if the battery dies or if you want to sell it later in the future to another person. thanks!!
You can remote wipe it if it ever goes online.
Olá from Portugal 👍
Using waze and the radio/music a same time make noise???
Yes it can do both!
can you tell me what width and length of that head unit?
200x100
@@JohnNguyenVincent 8inch right?
im subscribing you. you are very helpful ☺️
Will this fit 2013 scion tc?
yes
@@JohnNguyenVincent does it have the Google play store?
Reverse cam working? I didn’t see he try?
Does it pair up good with a iPhone x
yes sir!
Hey bro what's the 12 volt 6 volt for just
It's because the headunit send 12v to the backup camera to power it. The weird thing is OEM camera uses 6v. So it helps it from frying
John Nguyen I see how were u able to get like those gauges to read the car in the screen I was seeing that.
Is it like normal android? I can download any google play app? Also does video work while driving
how does this work with phone calls? Still good though Bluetooth?
It works good, i wouldn't say great lol
do this head unit have Apple carplay？
is there a way to just buy the wires?
no clue!
Does it play hd radio?
Does his come with a backup camera?
This was does not, most people reuse their stock setup. It's easier
Does anyone know what to do if your right speaker is not working
does this also work for iphone users? i know it says android but i was just curious.
yeah it works like any bluetooth device. You can skip, pause, previous and control volume
Yooo this supports apple carplay?
"the brz and the frs doesn't have the steering wheel controls"... reall? looking at the date you uploaded the video.. The've had steering shweel controls since 2016 based on the model and trim.
2017+ in the USA. 2013-2016 doesn't
@@JohnNguyenVincent you do realize the 2017 version came out 2016, right .. As all cars do.
@@valentinedpg Dude, I'm not sure you understand how these things work. The 2017+ model of the 'twins' has new equipment, as in new instrument cluster, new steering wheel (with controls). Dont be a troll, its unbecomming!
Not to bad. It fits in my Matrix.
Yeah, it's a great size for toyota
