DASAITA ANDROID 9.0 UNIT WITH APPLE CARPLAY WIRELESS AND OEM AUDIO PLUS

Thanks man, I figured it out.

 

@Fatmonk8
No issues getting mine delivered. Did required a signature. Shipped from China on the 23rd and arrived on the 29th. I'll post some pictures and settings that I needed to change to make everything work, including the steering wheel controls and canbus information like tire pressure and mileage.

All in all it is working great and after running errands all day yesterday in my truck the wireless carplay is totally worth it!

 

Still needed a dash kit?

 

I got the bracket mentioned earlier 3D printed by a local printer for $18 and it lined up perfectly. Didn't want to mess with OEM bracket from factory radio and drill new holes to make sure it lined up. This was dead simple. Super strong too. I'll link it here:

@Silverhammer do you mind sharing this template for the front camera mount?

 

Oh man this unit is way better than the OEM JBL system. I was reluctant about this unit at first because I wanted to keep the Car Solution front camera mode button option and keep an OEM appearance. After figuring out how to program the steering wheel button for quick front camera view this is way better than the JBL w/ NV auto CarPlay with Car Solution front camera. I enjoy the larger screen for rear and front view camera with direct sensor view on diagram. The Dasaita screen size is much bigger and resolution is way better than my co workers 2020 Tacoma JBL system. Wireless CarPlay takes a couple of seconds to connect, but when it does it’s pure money. Apple map even changes to night map when headlights are on. For those who are on the fence with this system, just do it if you find a great deal. Thank you to all on this thread who have contributed guidance on parts, install and troubleshooting issues.

 

I'm testing one last print which should arrive in two weeks. If it is successful, I'll make it available to public.

 

Has anyone, or is there a way to make a phone call trigger a pop-up? Right not when someone calls, the headunit will ring, but continues with whatever I was doing before the phone call. I think this might be the last of little things that are bothering me about his unit.

 

I assume you are not in android auto or carplay? If using those it pops up which is probably what they assumed you would use it for.

 

No. I need to switch around the USB plugs to use Android Auto. I was more curious for the main screens.

 

Anyone who ordered through Aliexpress do they normally take long to ship it out? I thought the waiting was cause of customs not them dragging their feet to ship.

 

I got mine in roughly 2 weeks but ive ordered plenty from ali express and its always variable on timing. Some things take a week, some take a month. Anything from China can be 30-60 days.

Did it ship DHL? If so you will get it quick but there is always the chance of it getting stuck in customs. Your tracking should show its at the port or not.

When did you Order?

Ordered 11/29 (Friday) and it is through DHL. Just find it odd it hasnt been shipped at this point.

 

Yeah, I have this issue. I’ve tried 3 different antennas, a coax extension to move the location of the antenna away from the unit, and even soldered a new coax connection inside the unit.

I still have bad RF interference whenever data is transferred over WI-FI.

 

I think it's a Chinese holiday until January.

 

Did you try running with no antenna? I have zero static/feedback and zero issues running wireless carplay.

 

In my experience, I ordered on a monday or tuesday and it shipped that Friday.

 

I’ve noticed that sometimes it sounds like my speaker is blown, kind of just started happening too. Is this what yours sounds like? My little black antenna is screwed into the back.

 

to test if it is WiFi related.. go into settings and turn off WiFi and hotspot and see if it still happens

 

Anyone know how to start android auto on this unit? Does it require usb plug in?
