2nd gen Joying Head Unit Thread

Can the screen be set up to finger swipe for volume changes? That may be the deciding factor for me as to knobs or not.

 

for my 2 cents... the 8" screen seems plenty large enough... and i like having the knobs even though i primarily use the sw controls. I think its a personal preference. FWIW i have to really crank down the brightness of this unit for night driving

 

Does the brightness dim down automatically (or to a set value) when the headlights are switched on or does the unit have a sensor to auto dim.

I'm sure I'd be more than happy with the 8", especially if it can be configured for wireless android auto.

 

it can be set to dim automatically based on time or with headlights you can adjust the night and day brightness seperately

 

Figured so! Thanks for confirming that

 

Ended up opting for the 8" with knobs just now. Cant wait for it to arrive now

 

I guess the answer is nope but maybe a software update will allow it in the future.

Just found this thread.

I believe all the Joying HU can do wirelss android auto, it's just a firmware update.

 

It’s can but it not easy. You have to press a dot and the select volume. Ok for a passenger but not great for a driver. I spent a week before ordering paying particular attention to what I did and don’t use. For me I always used the steering wheel controls to adjust volume, change modes and skip tracks. Almost always used the screen to scroll to find music or to call someone or answer the phone. I went with the 9” and don’t regret it but if I didn’t have steering wheel controls I would have hated the HU just for changing volume.

 

I just did the same! Pretty stoked

 

where did you buy from? I went with ebay, was a little cheaper

 

From joying direct. Not really an ebay fan, probably cause I'm located in Canada.

 

I didn't have knobs on my last radio so I don't miss them. I would NOT get the 9'' joying unit without knobs if I you don't have steering wheel controls.

Without steering wheel controls and without knobs you will have to swipe down on the screen in CarPlay and tap the small volume icon.


Then you will have to slide the volume bar with you finger to change the level.

 

The right side knob also pauses the song when pushed...which is nice for passengers.
Overall I am happy with this unit. I just ordered a dashcam and will post an update if I get it to work.

 

The joying looks awesome. I almost pulled the trigger on one but went with dasaita instead. Very similar, but I do like the joying launcher better.



On a side note, does anyone have an extra hazard switch bracket from a '05-'11 they would be willing to part with?

The piece that slides in here:

 

So i ordered this camera and can report that it works with the joying unit. It displays in km/h and don't think i can get it into miles...but good picture quality.

Sorry man. I haven't been on TW in a couple months after buying a house. Did you get it to work?

 

These units look sooo nice in our trucks!!! To the guys that have had them a bit, are they still holding up? Do they still feel quick and responsive?

 

Sure did. Used the Red Wolf T harness and depinned all the black wires. Ran the ground wire to Joyings grounds in the harness and added a 12v to 6v between the Joying 12v Reverse Trigger and positive to the camera. Basically I didnt have to touch anything stock. Waiting on my USB Adapter to use the stock usb port in the truck.

 

Why did you de-pin? was that to make your connections easier? which wires did you end up using to connect to the unit?
