T9 android head unit

https://cartrimhome.com/head-unit-f...XlG4r7y7yGJS1z8PFUL4ho3ejj9k5w51QlgTnFbwhJkTW

So i recently bought...still waiting to receive this new head unit. Supposedly is wiresless carplay for both apple and andriod. I know the 4runners have been tinkering with this headunit for a little while, but its new for tacoma. Wondering if anyone has experience on it as theres not alot of info out there

 

Check out the audio section of the forum, we have been playing with these android units for a few months now.

 

Did you ever get this Unit working properly? I'm having trouble with wired CarPlay and my reverse cam. Also trying to add front cam. Thanks.

 

Mine works. I can help

 

First off, how did you hook up the camera? You should be connecting the single yellow rca to a rca on the main harness of the T9(not truck) labellec camera. There are two of them, plug it to the rca paired with the big plug. You are plugging the t9 to the t9

 

Now are you android or iphone? Iphone is wireless. Android is wired. Did you buy from cartrim?

 

With iphone, you get carplay through the app zlink. You may need an activation code from cartrim. Gotta send him a screenshot and they give you an activation code. There is a fb group that they monitor so alot of help on there

 

As for front cam, i cant say for sure because i already had the anytime mod installed already, all the connections were made before the headunit. But there are a bunch of rca that should have one labelled camera

 

I have a Dasaita Android unit I use for CarPlay. Does anyone else have an issue where call volume is very low compared to music? It's that way wireless or wired.

I went into factory car settings on the radio and messed with some settings but nothing seems to make it anywhere near the music volume. So after the phone call the music is crazy loud unless I pause it prior to the call.

 

Ya its like that

 

I dont have aftermarket headunits yet but, are you connected through bluetooth? if you are then try increasing the CALL volume on your phone during a call (assuming you are android, not sure about iphones).

 

@cruxx Just a couple of quick questions about this unit. First, how is the quality of the backup camera? I know with the Joying units people were saying there was a noticeable downgrade in video quality.
Also, I don't know if you have any insight into this, but I recently installed the Kicker Key amplifier. Do you know if there would be any issues utilizing the kicker amplifier with this head unit?
Thanks for any help!

 

Yes the video is worse. They say its because its a bigger screen. Not that bad, not a deal breaker for me. There should be no issue with the kicker key amp. I just installed a amp/sub 300w and i dont think i need an amp for door speakers. Not sure if its because the t9 has 4x30. I know the kicker is 4x75. Ill put it this way, i’ve had this for about 6 months. It does have it quirks but i would not give it up for any other headunit out there. There are just so many positives that the quirks are minor things.

 

Just ordered this unit. I ended up getting the blue px6 version. Cant wait to get it installed.

Im going to have a alpine halo9 up for sale soon....

 

They look cool and the concept is cool but they are pretty shitty units with glitches and poor audio

 

I was on the fence but after talking to a few people on the facebook group page for the t9, I was willing to take the chance. The support in the group is top notch and the price point to me is worth the risk.

I loved the halo9 when I had it only 2ng gen but the t9 can do so much more.

 

Yes they do more more but with all the glitches they have it’s not worth it! At my store we won’t install any android unit!

 

Glitches, mine has none and ive owned it for 6 months. When you say glitches, i think you mean to say things that peopke dont know how to operate. 99% of “glitches” are user error or knowledge. Its a setting that someone doesnt know exists. Dont blame the t9 because it has endless options. The normal aftermarket headunit has no options and is pretty much dummy proof. The only new thing they have is carplay and the t9 makes that obsolete. These things are plug and play so anyone can install them. Also, why do these expensive headunits max out at 4x20w? Requiring a seperate amp? At least the t9 is 4x30

 

I would put this up against those expensive units any day. This thing is still impressing me everyday. I literally dont have enough time to explore everything this can do.

 

I think you should put it up against well known head units! Yes this has internet browser and fancy tablet style features and sure you claim yours is working great(for now) but if you compare the key points to a headunit(quality of audio output, distortion, and reliability,) and the fact that it is not really Apple carplay certified so next update it might not work anymore
