Code is not working anymore?
Sorry about that, the 5% off is only on JDMuscle brand products. I didn't know that when I posted this.
Ahh I see. Whelp, I'm stoked for mine and thanks for the awesome vid man!
Just installed a kenwood head unit along with new door panel speakers and subwoofer. It was definitely more complicated with the wiring and probably more expensive than this thing. This android head unit looks very nice!
With the research I've done, brands like kenwood are for sure better for audio and reliability. These android head units may be cool and more plug and play but the customer support and everything isn't as good. Would be awesome if kenwood and other US brands could make Android units but it's because they technically aren't legal. Great choice though I bet your audio is super crisp!
@@slowsubie6386 ok so you're right about the audio, though this sounds really good, but not up to par with a 1K dollar kenwood. Now on the support front... Have you ever tried to get on chat with Kenwood or Sony, or Pioneer. I've spent the last week basically in live chat with IDoing working through small issues. I post and I get answers in minutes(not days). I had a kenwood wireless AA unit in my old car. I spent days wiring in, and AA wireless is still the most flaky finicky thing there is. I opted to spend the 400 dollars on this instead of the 250 dollars just to get the cabling and maestro needed to move my existing kenwood over.
@@slowsubie6386 it is not that they are not legal, is that these companies are all about maximizing profit and they don't have to worry about adding the extra stuff as long as the bare minimum is done
Just installed this last night and followed your steps. Thanks a lot!!!!
Great video, I just got an AP so I have to start saving up for one of these! Haha it sucks how bad the stock setup is and Idk why Subaru thought the stock stereo was ok to release this car with! I’m definitely looking forward to having Waze and better sounding speakers! Thanks for doing this install/review video!
Man!!! I’ve been following you since day one… all upgrades all. VIdeos have helped me upgrade my WRX, you should make a video with all the options you can change on the head unit .
If your having trouble clipping the unit to your car, start at the top clips then move to the upper middle clips and force those down until the latch then you’ll have to put a little force into the bottom clips but just take your time and don’t break them, clipping the head unit in took me longer than taking out the old unit and setting up the new one
Great video mate! I wish it was this simple on my car... I have the premium Australian version with the harman kardon speakers and amp... made it so much harder. I also made a video, but explained how I got around the factory amp!
This works. I have the same model. Just make sure you buy the chip add on
Mine broke two days ago 😂 barely got mine cant wait to put it on
Would love to see a unit like this with the DAB+ tuner (HD Radio, supposedly) plugged in to show functionality, reliability, etc.
Subscribed! Once I found out your in the same state as me I got a 2020 sti maybe I'll see you out there some day
We all know you got pissed and punched it🤣
I did this because Bluetooth wasn’t connecting, had to get the aftermarket 🤣
Proper Dose is a solid album, hell yeah!
♥️ just picked it up on vinyl!
"very not laggy" is quite a stretch but looks good nonetheless.
I thought “Wow, day of use and it’s so much in finger marks” But then noticed that screen protector is still on.
nice unit. and thanks for the "what not to do" PSA. to me, car audio should be easy, especially for the manufacturer; however, Subaru goes out of their way to make theirs as low rent as possible, even with the high-end HK system. I know part of it has to do with anti-theft and part has to do with vehicle integration; but with all of the R&D money put into other area of the car, the car audio//infotainment side should be an easy no-brainer. That iDoing unit looks surprisingly good for Chinese unkowns. Hopefully it works for you.
From the research I did I think Idoing is the best option for the chinese brand ones. Would be awesome if US brands could make android head units but i think its because they technically aren't legal.
idek if you'll see this but SUCH GOLD is a better band than THE STORY SO FAR
I'll have to check them out 🤙 Arm's Length has been my go-to recently
@@WRXGarage lol sorry for the pretentiousness no one ever replies to my comments.
yeah man I'll have to check them out too
Pretty nice. I also use Android and would love to install this in my 2018. I saw Bren tuning in a NASIOC thread and people were suggesting them for an etune. Connecticut native here too. Born in New Britain and raised in Bristol. Represent!
Awesome! Yeah Brentuning is absolutely legendary
Two Q's:
1. Can you still use the stock USB ports for Carplay/Android Auto? Guessing you may need anther 3rd party adapter?
2. Do you get beeps/warning sounds from the backup camera w/ this one? Wife will need those! :)
Looks incredible great but i hate when radios are all touch screen at least the volume button must be physical. So this radios is not Android and carplay?...
Your music looks so much like what I listen to lmao
Haha hell yeah 🤙
Another vid I watched they made it more complicated appreciate this !
Does anybody know if you can hook up a subwoofer to the idoing head unit ?
Yes there's an RCA sub-out port on the back.
The iPhone has always used a capacitive touchscreen since the original. Many units from big name headunit companies still use resistive touch for their non flagship units but most Android units have capacitive.
Ive been wanting to do this for so long 😍
hi bro nice video. im just asking about the back up camera guide line. how to set mine is no guide line. thanks and advance
Nobody can seem to explain where all the AV plugs plug into
Hello! I’m looking into getting this but I just need a little bit more convincing lol. How’s it holding up? Is it better than the dasaita?
+1 for The Story so Far & SchoolBoy Q
Just installed today in my 2018, pretty simple however reverse function and wifi are not working...
Update: I realized the 10 pin connector fits into 2 places and I switched them. 100% working and flawless!
that's odd, you sure you got the IDoing? The cable set I got had ZERO cables that could get put in the wrong port.
oliver francis at 21:40!!!!
Loved the video and used it myself for my install! I only got a problem. How did you get sound on the speakers & tweeters inside the cab. I only get audio from the subwoofer? Connection might be wrong?
To be honest, I didn't know until after installing that Android Auto is NOT wireless on this head unit. I'm a little disappointed, but still happy I now have it at least.
Great video. Do the volume controls, and phone controls on the steering wheel work?
Thanks for the video, does the unit Dim at night automatically? Or you have to do it manually everytime?
Hey man I love your videos they're super informative and great for people just getting into Subarus! I just got my first wrx a couple months ago and I'm dying to upgrade the radio. The wrx has the worst factory audio of any car I've owned surprisingly as it's the best car I've owned since my rx7. Looking at purchasing this idoing head unit but, I want to know the pre-amp output voltage for the front, rear, and Sub outputs. I've looked on their website for the spec sheet but it doesn't have this info. When setting gains for amplifiers it's important to know what this is (most head units range from 2v-5v some cheap units even less). I know I can check this with a multimeter from the rca jacks while the unit is installed and on and I always verify the voltage before setting my gains but I prefer to know these things before I buy a head unit. Audio is always a big part of all my cars and I typically use Kenwood or Pioneer (who always have these specs on their website) but the plug and play ability to retain steering wheel controls without having to purchase additional devices and do extra wiring with the idoing is very appealing. Any chance you know what the preamp output voltage is?
Does the backlighting auto-dim when your headlights come on? Also if you adjust the brightness of the dash backlighting, does it also adjust the head unit backlighting?
I have that same knife from Amazon lol. Def gonna do this mod on my 2017 thx for the info.
Head unit is fully installed Apple car play won’t launch it’s staying on android auto how do I fix this
So i bought mine a few months ago, and its horrible if u have issues. Theres no support, my wifi connection doesnt detect my phones, reset to factory leaves shit behind. DAB+ just gets stuck on connecting. Some Apps arent supported with android 10 and you cant update it, and you really have to force it into your dash to get it in smooth. FYI exact same model idoing
did you have to add the microphone that came with Idoing unit to get hands free? or did the stock microphone work(where is it)?
You had me until your comment about sheeps. Aren’t you a rebel?
Great video man! I have two questions before I decide to pull the trigger on it. Is their a way I can get the HD radio? As I sometimes like to use the radio so I just wanna make sure it’ll work! My other question is to use the usb do we have to use the ones in the back of the unit instead of the one in center console? Thanks for a great in depth video keep it up!
Did you ever end up buying one? Lol
You have to use the ones on the side of unit. I have mine on IG from the passenger. You can still retain your middle USB’s for charging but won’t work for controlling the unit.
Installed this radio... it's great, but about six months down the line, the radio doesn't work. Been fiddling with it. Only works now and then when I reset it... it's really annoying
Tell me why I am watching this after realizing that I rubbed my radio the wrong way, literally. Giving my car a detail and realized there was a very small smudge on my head unit. Rubbed it pretty good and when I went to turn on my car my screen was freezing and acting a fool. Needless to say, I will be replacing the head unit with the idoing! Sold
Make sure you buy it through JDMuscle and use our coupon code!
Got this installed a couple days ago . Any way to change the theme like other Idoing models ? Can’t seem to find the setting as easily as the other ones
I love how everyone shit easy compared to mine
Mine lasted around 3-4 ish years. Then it stopped turning on. However, I was having usb connection issues within that time frame. I got use to it. Bought the newer version hoping this one turns out better
Hi my reverse only works with the car off in ACC mode once on it shows yellow error. no idea how to correct this issue.
Same with mine I have a 2020 WRX
Did you try the other video in/out connectors? On my 2018 only one combo worked at all but maybe you're 2020 is different.
I'm waiting for my unit to arrive. My main confusion is the USB connection for center console. Does that not work and if not is there no extra harness to make it work ?
I got the harness from sonic electronic website. You can only retain for charging won’t work for usb.
I have a 2014 wrx and saw that most of these head units are easier to get for the newer models that have the silver aircon vents. Would I just be able to get the silver aircon vents from a newer model rexy getting wrecked and use them and it all still work normally on my older Rex?
If you didn't want those extra USB ports hanging out in the glovebox, could you use the ones in the center console?
Hi do you have any audio delay when playing videos over Bluetooth or the video app?
I'm thinking about purchasing one and that's an issue i have with my stock head unit that drives me crazy when watching TH-cam on my phone and the audio not matching what im watching.
No, haven't noticed any delay!
Amazing! I'll buy one for my 18. I also need to upgrade the speakers because the stock sucks
Do the head unit on its own first. You’ll be surprised how much better they sound.
Hey man, I did this install but my radio don’t work I plugged the one wire into it the one plug and am left with a blue wire with a cap on the radio side and the car side I’m left with a 4 pin plug with aluminum and plastic shaped like a upside down L
very helpful video bro! thanks! I've been on the fence about ordering this for about a year now but i think its time...did this specific one come with everything for car play? or did u have to order that separate?
Yes this specific one has everything you need! All plug and play wiring, has car play and android auto built in.
Thanks brother! I'm definitely going to go for it! I appreciate the help man
Hey bro I'm installing it and I'm having trouble with the front speakers...did you have any issues?
No we didn't have any issues, make sure all of your wiring is fully connected!
@@Sco0bzZ_ If you have the Harman Kardon you need to leave the Starlink system connected or your front speaker get no power.
curious if you hooked up the microphone that was provided with the headunit? Or used the factory one, wherever it is located
See 19:10 ! There's a new external mic that comes with the kit.
Thanks for the video man! Can the OS be updated to 11 now or are you stuck with Android 10?
Stuck with android 10 most likely
Just got my set 2 weeks ago. Just got to know the Bluetooth mic for the both the built in and external mic don't work well. Other is not able to hear me when vehicle is moving. Stationary position so far Ok.
Sicane has a flush screen but it's outdated in performance compared to idoing... I installed Sicane in my 15wrx a few years ago then just today installed an idoing in my 18 forester xt with HK; idoing has better Amp, screen, processor, sub features... install is plug n play but a few connections have no mate but all features function... the only issue I can apon with the idoing is that my front HK tweeters don't seem to function; if I can't remedy this I'll install aftermarket speaker Focals
I just bought the same unit and connected everything but I can't get the whole unit to clip in properly. when I clip in the top first, the bottom pops out and vice-versa. Did you have any issues like that?
Same issue here :( did ya ever figure it out? Or just man handle it into place?
@@themesican5540 update?? Anyone? Can’t get it :(
@@marincusman9303 tbh aas of rn i still cant 100% get it flush lmao i just popped top and bottom at the same time so its basically even on both but it isnt all the waay in. i havent tried pushng it again i just left it to where it doesnt bother me much :(
@@themesican5540 all it took for me was pushing in on the top corners of the screen at the same time with a decent amount of force and it pops in and fits perfect all around. I say give it a shot, I’m definitely glad I did.
@@marincusman9303 ill try the corner thing. just popping in top first makes the bottome come out and vice versa i got irritated and left it since lmao but today ill give it shot
Does this connect to your FM/AM antenna from the car?
Love the unit. Have a question. Hope you can assist. I bought a 2021 STI sport-tech with Nav & the Harman Kardon speakers. Will this unit work on my car including the steering wheel functions? Any intel would be appreciated. Thx
There's a specific model that is made for the harmon kardon system! It will retain the steering wheel functions
Are you running it with the stock hardware? Speakers, sub... looks really nice!
No sub. Aftermarket Kicker full range speakers in the doors!
Hi…Installed my head unit..The few issues I ran into was the Wi-Fi kept turning off until I plugged the 4G antenna in. Now the issue I came across was the clarity is not very good for the reverse camera I can’t find any settings to adjust it assume it’s in the passcoded section. Any insight?
@ 20:17 that's hilarious. I say this all the time to my boss and my girlfriend. Sheeps!
I have an alpine ktp 445u inline amp behind the stereo, how did this affected your install besides the wires being short?
hi Do your speakers have hissing white noise when the music is paused? I have 2015 Subaru forester xt radio w/ Harman Kardon speakers without Nav. I have experiencing this issue with the installation.
Hey man, just wondering on how you had Bluetooth showing instead of radio on the R top side of the home screen? thanks! ALSO bonus question, would you happen to know why my radio is not picking up any signals? thanks!
The stock unit is beyond garbage not sure if thecshitty stock tune, exhaust note, or stereo will be next but this car needs improvements from factory
Been looking to swap out my pioneer nex unit with Android is there a way to hook up subwoofer and amp rca pre outs on this unit for my sub amp
Yeah! This thing has preamp and rca outputs. It also has a sub output
Hey. I appreciate you posting this.
I’m want to install this in mine but my only concern is connecting it to the subaru’s factory installed mic in the car.
Are you able to connect this new head unit to the car’s factory installed mic?
No you have to use the internal mic on the HU or plug in an external.
Mine works with the OEM mic you just plug that into the back
Can I use my factory back up camera? I want this for my optima
It looks like it can't do SiriusXM satellite radio. Did I miss it? Does it have satellite radio?
question: do you need to ground the wire that is labeled as “park” or something close to that. I heard that you have to ground it in order to be able to type when driving or something
You were showing how the unit came with external GPS antenna and a microphone. Does this unit work with the existing ones as well?
I'm also wondering if there is a function for programming preset text messages. Stock head unit has a few preset messages you can send while driving, but you can't customize them.
Is the unit fully operational while driving or does it still lock you out and you can't enter an address manually?
you can decide if you want it to limit you when driving(settings), otherwise completely operational. No it will not work with built in gps and mic(at least not without cutting).
Do you know if there’s an option of an Aux input for audio on these units? Thanks!
Did you have issues with the reverse camera when you take e brake off? Like a yellow triangle?
No, haven't noticed any issues. Reverse cam works with and without ebrake on
Was wondering if anyone knows if you need to buy a separate adapter for the apple CarPlay to work or will the system acknowledge an apple device when it’s connected?
Ur did the head unit on a 2015 Wrx when I look in description says from 2016 and up did u have any trouble and did the control on steering wheel work
After watching this, I pulled the triger and got one too.
How did you set up night mode permanently?
On their site what does the selection (6 Core) mean? Processor ? better? do they have one for apple car play?
6 core means a stronger processor/CPU. More cores = stronger. I believe all of their models work with both apple carplay and Android auto.
what’s the best one for Apple car play? BecUse i want one exactly like this but for apple car play.
IDoing also makes this exact model with apple carplay. I think this one might have both actually
@@WRXGarage Is there anyway you can findout? If anything i’ll just buy the one with apple car play.
@@nixwrx it’s got wireless CarPlay as well so don’t buy a dongle for it. There’s Vids on here showing how to set it up.
Did you have any problem with audio mine doesn’t work.
Im waiting on my unit should be here soon, did you route all your USB cables into the glove box only or is there anywhere else you can route them. Middle console??
If you buy a usb extension from Amazon, it would be pretty easy to route it under the shifter trim tunnel back to the center console
I routed 1 under the unite in place of the Accessory plug, I put two in the glove box as well as ran the Center cable to the console. I then ordered the adapter from amazon for 15 dollars and connected it to one of the usbs in the glove box, and now I have I have 4 USBs all provide power and all work with android auto/usb thumb drives
@@marcdukette5095 what does the adapter do?
@@Y012AD you plug one end into the stock console usb plug that's behind your radio. You plug the other end into one of the USB-A plugs off your head unit. It lets the 2 USBs you have in your center console work with the new HU.
@@marcdukette5095 link?
"I'm not a huge fan of being a sheep" hahahahaha
Hey dude so i purchased one for my 2012 sonata limited. I notice it had that little spinning dj wheel on bluetooth. Can you change that just curious. I was aiming for daisata unit but they said they didnt have proper connectors..also i think im getting top of line model for my vehicle..but there and ips and qled..both 8 cores..im thinking of asking them the the qled instead of ips
Are you able to use Waze (via carplay) while the radio is on (or even have a thumb drive in). I just swapped my 2019 factory with one and that is the only thing I can't figure out how to set up.
Would really like to figure that out! I always ride with waze up.
Yeah! You can play music with Bluetooth, Android auto/Spotify, etc while using Waze.
Did you buy a new mic for this?
Does your phone auto connect when you get in the car? The stock junk in mine makes me pair the phone everytime the car is turned off and its annoying to the point im looking at this head unit lol
It's a wired connection to use android auto or apple carplay. I just plug my phone in every time I get in the car and it's pretty much instant
What stops me from going back to android head units right now is shortcomings such as at 13:20 you had to manually change the screen brightness. Why in the world can they not put a 30 cent photo sensor for proper automatic brightness adjustment; the software support for this is built into android as it is, why don't the utilize this? I was constantly fumbling with the brightness settings on my last android head unit, I know there's apps and settings to do automatic brightness but sometimes they just flat out didn't work when I got in the car and turned on the key, this frustrated the hell out of me. I even tried different rooms, different apps, etc. This is annoying. The audio settings applications for the DSP chip are lacking and confusing, not taking proper advantage of what that DSP audio chip COULD do.
Because they never work right even on 1K dollar tablets. I hate auto brightness. What they should have is two manual brightness settings. One with the HL on and one when they are off.
@@marcdukette5095 this
what voltage does the headunit put out? consensus that android headunits are garbage for sound quality... anybody that upgrades the stock headunit is going to "sound better" because it sends more voltage to the speakers. but how much? trying to compare to the well known headunit manufactures in sound.
I believe this headunit puts out around 25-30 watt RMS to 4 speakers! Stock is less than 10w rms.
@@WRXGarage jesus... thats incredibly low for a headunit and could cause interference. thanks for letting me know.
Do you lose controls in the arm rest?
Hey what did you connect to have the buttons on the steering wheel to work? (Audio buttons)
Sir, how about spotify when connected via Bluetooth with Android phone? Can you control music on radio screen, change song/Playlist/whatever?
Yeah! Spotify works perfectly
I just got the dasaita px6 can you turn your speakers level up past 0 mine I can go down minus zero but can't go up past 0
Would this work in a 2020 wrx? And would I be able to hook up a amp and sub?
I've recently installed this. Android auto doesn't launch automatically when plugging in the USB cable. Do you have the same issue?
You might have to download Android auto on your phone.
How can i get youtube to work? I just installed this a week ago.
You should be able to watch YT through android auto or apple carplay!
As much as I want one. I want it to be completely seamless using the stock mic already in the car
It might be possible to convert the stock microphone pin to the one this system uses... Not sure
uhm..so these units allow you to use external mic or mic built in the unit.
Hows the radio and setting stations up. I have the old model and it sucks trying to find the right stations and it wont do the updates to the apps now. Thinking about getting this
To be honest, I haven't used the radio in years and haven't even tried yet
