Non-Standard Double Din size - Outermost bezels are 182mm x 104mm and not 178x100 provided
I really wanted to like this unit. The packaging was outstanding and well done. It came with instructions that were comprehensible, even though I can tell the grammar and word choice was written by someone with limited English. The only speed bump I encountered for wiring was the picture for the backup camera did not match the model they gave me. But they have a good customer support forum where I found additional instructions online. So wiring was fairly easy with the additional help from their online support forum, but not completely effortless.The user interface was fairly decent, radio reception was good, but not excellent. My factory Fujitsu unit from Toyota came with 2 antennas, while this unit could only accept one. No big deal, most units cannot either. For a price point of under $300, it made me very excited to be able to have an android based navigation unit with so many options. Which is why I tried so hard and spent so much time trying to get the unit to fit in my dash before I decided to return it.First the factory radio brackets in my 1998 Toyota Supra Turbo would not align with the holes in the unit. I could only bolt down 2/4 of the holes on each side. Alignment was off by 1-2 mm, so it wasn't a major deal breaker, it just wasn't the OEM quality fit I would expect.Then I realized the corners to this unit are squared, while the hole in my center console was rounded. So I had to file down the plastic corners on my Supra's console to make the unit fit through the hole. But even then, I just couldn't make it fit. I spent a long time thinking it was an alignment issue with the brackets, but it came to me once I put the unit side-by-side with my OEM Toyota radio. I have provided pictures for comparison, so notice the difference in size between the Joying radio and an actual OEM Double-Din from Toyota manufactured by Fujitsu. So I took a dial measure and noticed the unit is not the 100mm it said in the description but actually 104mm!*** The dimensions they provide of 178mm x 100mm are only for the inner frame of the front panel, the true dimensions for the unit at the longest and widest points of the plastic frame are 4mm LARGER THAN THE STANDARD DOUBLE DIN size! ***So now if I want the unit to go through the dash, I have to figure out a way to saw off the entire DOUBLE-DIN standard sized plastic retention frame to fit a 182x104mm non-standard frame of the Joying unit. No thanks, I'm done. I am upset and disappointed because I performed the due diligence on my part of taking measurements before ordering this unit. I expected Joying to be equally forthcoming and accurate in the measurements they provide the customer, but they failed. Now I am out multiple hours of time, mental energy, and not to mention a filed-down center console which costs $150 from the Toyota dealer.My advice to Joying: be honest with the size of your units: include the 182mm x 104mm size of the outer plastic frame as well as the 178 x100 of the inner frame. Your customers should know the size of the radio they are buying is not standard, and not be surprised when they find out when they are installing! This may not be an issue at all if your customers don't have tight tolerances in their cars, but you should provide accurate information to save your customers the time and frustration while saving yourself the trouble of taking a return.
