    all stock - for now.
    I am heavily leaning towards the 11.6" joying unit as well. Aucar made some promises, "cut" the price down a bit (actually just added in some extras) to get the deal but in the end the price tag is far too much for what you get IMO.

    This is just for the Joying, though.

    "(PS: You need to update your UIS7862 head unit with "2022-6-27" file firstly and then update to android 12.0 system. otherwise, the USB network sharing function cannot be used)"

    How does one contact Sergey? I’m not on FB. Guessing he’d be the dude to chat with in advance of making the purchase. Seems like the folks that have worked with him have wound up happy with their units, post that work. Anyone have issues post having him help?

    I've been on the fence about getting this too. I like the form factor but it's still seems kinda buggy, so ive been holding off. Supposedly there will be a new model coming out soon that Aucar claims to fix some of the issues with the current unit.

    I'd love to get a fully polished version of this over the Joying tbh. If they do come out with an updated one that gets good reviews, I'll consider it for the Tundra.

    Anybody that is interested in this that has a high quality headunit already I would be interested in a trade, or possibly just a sale. I'm not using any of the features and think I'd prefer something less...huge

    I’m looking in to adding MP3’s to my head unit. How do I make a folder for them and what app plays them?

    do I put them on a td or will my xternal work?

    If anyones wondering I plugged a 2TB drive into the usb and it read the drive. I navigated to my music and selected the MP3’s I wanted then clicked copy and the click flash from the file manager and went to the music folder on the head unit and the hit paste. All the files copied to the folder. I also copied some folders I had of albums. The head unit doesn’t shuffle all the music in each folder. If you want to shuffle all your music don’t use folders paste them all in one folder. Once their copied and you click to play a file it will give you a few options of which app to play the music in. I wasn’t sure which was best so I just picked one and it’s working great.

    I tried connecting my sandisk sport plus Bluetooth MP3 player to the unit but it won’t connect. Anyone know why? It doesn’t show the head unit on the player when I search for devices. Eric from Aucar wasn’t helpful he just said it may be a different protocol. I have Bluetooth an WiFi off on my phone. Any tips?

    Do you know where I can get that harness for 2009? Your link seems for 2010 onwards.

    Can your phone connect via BT to the headunit?
    Have you verified that your Sandisk device is running the latest firmware?

    (I dont owe any of these devices but i want one of these HU)

    @NastyBogging

    I'm also in the market for this HU. Did Aucar mention any details to you? I'm excited if they produce an improved hardware design but I think any bug fix would be through a software update/firmware flash. Way more economical for the manufacturer.

    Gone are the days of new headunit every year from Alpine, Pioneer, Nak, Clarion, Sony, Kenwood, etc .
