What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Does this unit do Wireless CarPlay? I’m trying to figure out to get this head unit or the Joying one.
Thanks!

 

It has wireless carplay. Let me say one thing. The reason the joying guys cant figure out how to use it cuz they have no support. The cartrimhome t9 has figured out all the problems of the joying users are having, because cartrimhome provides complete support with 1 yr money back guarantee and a facebook page for continued support. The owner is on there hourly and answering all issues and questions, as well as dedicated members. They are basically identical units but id rather have the support and warranty, especially with how complicated and testy these things can be and it has been invaluable.

 

Oh ok, on the cartrimhome page it just has an option for wired CarPlay.

Yeah, I’ve been following the Joying thread and it seems to be pretty inconsistent between different installs. I’ll reach out to cartrimhome.

 

Thank you.

 

The iphone is wireless and android is wired. Realistically you also want to get the wireless car dongle as well. It fixes the issue of carplay and tethering at the same time. You can get it from
Cartrimhome $60, but you can get it from Amazon or ebay quicker, but cists more

easist way to talk to cartrimhome is to speak to the owner directly. Join cth t9 4runner owners group on fb. His name is savag

 

This decal cost me a lot of money

 

With the snow here, I still can’t get to my suspension. However I did put some power in the rear for the kids’ devices:

 

So if you don't do Facebook there's no support ? That sucks.

 

Nice ! I don't have an inverter, and don't need one. Your photos made me realize that there's a good sized unused space on the back side of the center console. Does that cover just snap off?

 

Raw bears.

 

I have this same unit. I haven’t installed yet because I saw a shitty dash microphone. Can you use the mic that in the headliner of the truck? Also, do you actually have to get a SIM card, or just using your phone enough?

 

No you will always have your warranty, but

tacomas dont require the mic

 

You dont need a sim, i generally tether to my phone but indo have 10gb of data. If you dont use sim, you dont need to install the sim card holder or the 4g atenna

 

awesome thanks! I pulled it all out and was like, hell naw! I’m not putting that mic on my dash!

I’ll get back to it this weekend. Thanks dude.

 

Since the unit will always connect to home wifi when i park in my garage, it automatically updates things such as weather when i get home. Also since it automatically connects to my home wifi, i usually dont start the carplay until im out of ramge of home wifi

 

yes, just pops off. The inverter sits behind the vents, but room above, and tons if you don’t have the inverter.

Thanks !

 

I have the Joying. It was an easy PnP install and both Android Auto and Apple Carplay work fine. Both wireless. The Joying unit was $299 from Amazon. I have only two minor issues with it: 1. The ring tone is kind of obnoxious and apparently cannot be changed; 2. You lose the compass in the dash display. Not a big deal if you are using Google or Apple maps. Joying was very responsive to emails.

 

looks great what did you use to cut it so straight?
