2nd gen Joying Head Unit Thread

What brand is your fog lights? you got a link to them?

 

oem i just painted them with

Krylon K09035000 Stained Glass Aerosol Spray Paint, 11.5 oz, Canary Yellow

https://www.amazon.com/Krylon-K0903...ords=yellow+glass+paint&qid=1614575038&sr=8-2

 

Popped right in pretty easy. No issues for me.

 

No directions. But plug and play once you figure it out. a few leftover stock plugs. I assume for satellite radio and the stock USB port.

 

What options do you recommend ordering with it? Gimmick vs useful

 

+1 Very clean indeed. I need one!

Looks like they have two options now: 8" screen with knobs or 9" without. Hmmmm...

Ya, they had that when I ordered. I like my volume knob though. lol
I think it fits in with the rest of the interior better too.

 

its hard to find review videos that show all the options like apple car play but man this thing is clean looking, ive just never heard of the brand. would love to see a small tutorial of it and how smooth it runs

 

What's the story on the 4 options? Are the options worth getting? From what I understand, our trucks don't give actual psi from the tpms, so is that of any use?

(OBD2, TPMS, DVR, and AHD Reverse Camera)

 

I just got the OBDII and haven't gotten it to work. The TPMS option comes with new caps that measure the pressure but I didn't mess with it. I'm just using the stock camera for now. I'll add one whenever I add my tire carrier.

 

Is the OBD not working just because you haven't messed with it, or have you not been able to make it work?

I'd pass on that tpms option considering it's caps. I'd definitely like to have the rear camera on the screen rather then the mirror, but I'd like to see if anyone has gotten it to actually work first.

 

I'm sure the camera would work fine since it just plugs in. Bluetooth seems to be an issue on this with anything other than a phone. I've messed with the OBDII a bit. I do need to mess with it more though.

 

So the OBD still uses one of the OBD Bluetooth adapters, or does it hardwire to the OBD port?

 

Made a quick video of it working

 

Damn great video thanks. I ordered the unit so we'll see how it goes. Do you remeber how long it took to get to you? Glad it's ready to install I know very little so far about car electronics

 

I think it took about three weeks

 

Do you know if there is an online link for the owners manual? Was wanting to look it over before I purchase.

 

I'm using a Scan Gauge II on my 2014, I've set it up to read individual TPMS tire pressures. Not sure on older trucks, but because of that, I'm sure you can set up the PIDS on the Torque app to read tire pressure on 2.5 gens.

 

got the head unit in the mail today. Took less than a week to get here! I gotta say...as someone who's never done much with vehicle electronics I'm a bit overwhelmed looking at all the wires and the lack of directions quick someone who's done it tell me it's not that bad!

 

It’s really not too bad. Basically just plug everything in where it looks like it goes. I drilled now holes in the factory bracket too. But ya, there’s like no directions that come with it. Haha, feel free to dm me if you’re having trouble. I can give you my number for a video call if you need it.
