Dasaita Head Unit for 2nd Gen Tacoma

Yea got a 2010 and bracket for switch is different .Also doesn't have tab for clips to secure to dash . Got couple pics of my extra dash kit for 2010.

 

Since you were able to secure unit with factory bracket should be solid enough that you wont need lower clips I would think . If hot glue secured switch should be good ? Head unit looks good.

 

could you put the hazard bracket in and take a photo? i want to see how far off the mounting holes are. by what you guys are saying, they don’t line up with each other?

 

If you check post #20 I have a photo with the bracket set in and it doesn't even go in all the way. I have it mounted up with the factory side brackets and used hot glue for the hazard / clock and everything seems solid for now.

I'm communicating with Dasaita on eBay to find out what is supposed to fit but with them being in China you basically get one message a day and nothing on the weekends.

 

ok got it now. maybe change the thread title? lol.

 

Not a problem. Title edited.

 

yeah i’ve had to deal with sellers overseas on ebay before. it’s so frustrating.

 

What options did you buy with yours? I am thinking about getting one.

 

does the factory usb/auxiliary work with this, or do those basically become useless

 

1st pic its mounted in dash kit . Mine bracket mount with 4 screws 12 up seems to mount with 5 . 3 screws on top

 

I believe metra makes an adapter to keep the factory USB/aux but I had moved mine inside my center console from a previous stereo install so I just kept those.

 

this guy im guessing?

I think that's it. They had it linked in the other Android radio thread for the 3rd Gen and it should be the same plug.

I didn't order any of the options when I bought this one. The standard mic on the front works well so I didn't even bother connecting that. I was able to just stick the GPS antenna right on top of the unit and cable tied the wire there as well so I didn't have to route that. I'm running Android auto with headunit reloaded but I did purchase a car play dongle from eBay for 43 dollars. Still waiting on that to come in.

 

i’m honestly not sure if i want my phone restricted through carplay, while i’m driving.

 

There's always Bluetooth or you can load music on a USB and copy it to the unit. The Dasaita I ordered has 64gb of onboard storage, pulled up the setting and it's about 56gb usable.

FYI with the newest versions of carplay and Android auto can you still use the phone while it's connected. Plenty of other options if you don't like those though.

 

how's the unit treating you so far?

 

Pretty good so far. I installed Nova launcher so it basically looks like an Android tablet in my truck and am running Android auto in 720p mode so it has the new multiple window widescreen mode. I found the XDA thread that has the updates for the units and got it all up to date as well. Just an FYI on the update, it did remove the AGAMA car launcher that came pre installed on the unit when I installed the new software. Hence, the Nova install which I actually prefer.

One issue I am having is a very faint static noise in the speakers. It's only audible at a stop with no music and the AC off but it is there. I am still trying to figure out if it's the head unit or my wiring.

I am still going back and forth with Iris at Dasaita to resolve the clock fitment issue. They are not quick at replying but at least they are replying. The biggest issue is the Chinese language barrier. Hopefully we can get that figured out.

Overall there are some quirks but nothing I can't live without. The huge screen is awesome and the music sounds good so I am sticking with it.

 

so just to confirm, this is what you ordered https://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-9-...a-2012-DSP-Stereo-Radio-Dash-Kit/254286280969 and mirror link works

 

Yes that's the one. I have not tested mirror link. I can try it today and report back.

 

sweet thank you!
