3rd gen audio build - Joying tacoma headunit

Somebody posted in here that you have to cut two wires to pass audio. I didn’t have JBL but it is in here somewhere

 

every once in awhile callers will complain about static or im far away but it doesnt happen all the time

 

ive had mine for long time not as long as @5nahalf. But the hu has mostly good days which the days it can be weird i just restart the hu and its good to go . Im still happy with my purchase .

 

mine fit right in like factory unit , granite I only have two screws holding hu in , but it feels solid especially with trim piece supporting in the front

 

interesting i like this, but dont need the mounting bracket

 

Just out of curiosity
Anyone know a way to auto launch car play on boot up

There’sa way to do it with navigation but only other music apps but not CarPlay unfortunately

 

Mine is wireless AA and Carplay is launching after the key is on. I use Spotify, it resumes from the same spot.

 

When Zlink is searching for the phone tap the gear and I believe there is a checkbox for auto starting zlink

 

Anyone experience issues getting the radio to work? I feel like an idiot right now, and I'm sure it's going to be something basic. Everything else works. I plugged the only plug that will fit in the radio ANT spot, which contains a blue wire leading to a plug; the plug isn't plugged into anything because I didn't see anything from the truck that would. But that blue wire leads over to the main plug back to the HU.

 

Yep I'm an idiot. The cable from the truck that it needed to connect to, fell down into the dash. Not proud of my first post here.

 

Happens to all of us hahaha

 

Hi all, I just received mine hu yesterday and tried to install it today but I couldn't figure out how to get the reverse camera to work on my 17. There are three yellow rca wires labeled camera in on the provided harness. Where do I plug those into?

 

Take a look at my pic 3 posts up, you can see the three yellow plugs. One labeled "CAM VIN" goes into the HU, the other two yellows connect to each other.

 

Anybody have the newest https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-a...coma-2005-2015-with-11-6-inch-big-screen.html11.6 inch unit? Is it worth buying? Is 8GB RAM really needed over 4? I’m still on the fence with this head unit, but I do like the fact that the newest harness can keep the built in SWC and GPS

 

I believe I've mentioned it in this thread before, but still am looking for a solution. To be able to use Apple Carplay, my iphone needs to create a hotspot. To start that hotspot, my phone needs cell connection. I did a 3 day trip in the woods with limited cell service and the headunit would not connect due to the lack of cell service/no hotspot. Is there any workaround for this?

Driving backroads with no music or Gaia maps is a bummer

 

My unit started popping the fuse located on the head unit (10A). Anyone had this issue? Pops it as soon as I plug a new fuse is installed and the AC power is on.

 

Anyone gotten kodi to work on their joying hu?

 

What version of Android are you on? Mines Android 8 and Joying mentioned I can not get it to a newer version. Mines a little buggy here and there but nothing crazy

 

I think I am on 8, but they are correct that you can not get new versions. If you want to get a newer version you would need to buy the newest headunit. It all comes down to what the hardware can handle and how much programming they want to do.
