Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 IYING Android Auto Apple Carplay Head Unit + 360 Camera -No dongle needed.

9'' Android 8.1 Car Radio GPS Navigation Multimedia System*
Specs: 8 Cores, 2GB Ram, 32GB Rom, CANBus

*Note: This system is advertised and sold for a Sienna 2018.

I bought this radio based mostly on the price. I expected some issues to arise and the did. Everything was plug and play, you don't have to cut anything from the oem wire harness. The only cable you have to splice(on the provided plug) is the brown/reverse cable to the white cable labeled ccd-v. That's for the reverse trigger for the oem camera.

Working:
Steering Controls
Backup Camera
Radio, sound really strong now
Auxiliary Video
Miles per gallon, fuel consumption
TPMS
Door status, open/close
GPS -came with the unit
General android stuff -maps, YouTube, etc.
Auto lock setting, shift from parking or speed(Probably canbus compatibility) -Fixed using OBD2 via Carista App.
Alarm beep feedback.(Probably canbus compatibility) -Fixed using OBD2 via Carista App.
Reverse camera now shows trajectory, but is inverted (maybe a setting is missing) -Fixed, can be corrected via Settings->Factory(pass 3368)->Original Car Agreement->Reversing Track Reversal=On

Not working/sort of working
Some screens (Car Info app) still showing Celsius and kilometers(The unit reads the units Miles and Fahrenheit from the car settings, a few apps don’t show them) -Not really important



Harness:

 

Nice, I was looking at the joying one for the corolla, pretty much the same as you have, but with a volume knob.

Can you get some videos of how it works.

 

Some more pictures of the installations. I will be posting a video showing the flow of the interface later.

Reverse camera plug (ccd-v) and cable(cdd-c) splice:

Trajectory lines guides:


Installations issues:
I had to improvise with some washers in order to improve the fit of the stock mounting brackets to the unit.
First try:

Second try:

 

anymore on this? My factory head unit just dies anytime I am offload and resets. Has been doing this since day one, they fixed it with an update which lasted about a month or two

 

So far the unit is working fine(there is room for improvement). The radio sound strong, the eq really works. Now the Polk speakers an the Kicker tweeters are doing their work. I am using Car Launcher AG as my default launcher and Head-unit Reloaded for Android Auto. You can run also run any Android app directly on the head-unit if you want. I tested my wife's iphone via zlink app for a few minutes and it worked(no dongle required). I will try to post more information later. If you have any specific question feel free to ask.

 

Do you have a link of where you got the unit from?

 

Hi,
Their ebay store is NEXTNAV Car Radio GPS Navigation. They don't seem to have a listing for the unit currently. I guess you can contact them. The original listing description was " 9'' Android 8.1 Car Radio GPS Navigation Multimedia System for Toyota Sienna"

 

Awesome post, good to see some new options. Do you feel that this HU covers all of the factory information relatively well? Looks good in there!

 

Hi,
From the top of my head.

Miles to empty->Yes
Average MPG->Yes
Average Speed->Yes
Steering Controls:
-Next->Yes
-Prev->Yes
-Vol +->Yes

Video Stuff:
-It has an additional video input(front cam, dvr etc)

Apple Car Play:

Android Auto:
-3rd party app Head Unit Reloaded $5, used daily->Yes

General Android Stuff:
-Widget are fixed, you can add more but you cannot remove the default ones.
-Install apps from the Play Store.->Yes
-Chrome, YouTube, Google Maps as you expect on a phone(using phone your wifi)->Yes
-Works like a regular tablet.

CAN Bus Interface.
-When the radio is started the first time it changes the units to Kilometers and the color preferences on the truck. Had to change them on the config using the right steering pad.
-Door lock behavior can be configured in the head unit(except the beep feed back and the auto lock when shifting fro P to D.) I fixed it using Carista/OBD2.

Bluetooth
-Phone interface is really simple, but it works. I use the Android Auto one.
-Bluetooth media player also really basic.
-The ringtone is really loud and so far cannot be changed. Again it works.

Well that's all I can remember now. I hope it helps.

 

Awesome, thanks for the information! I think I'll probably start looking into that project.

 

Are there any glaring futures you feel are missing? Really liking the flush look of this

 

Hi,

Future-wise, not that I recall. I thought I was going to miss the cd player, but not. Now I have all the apps available for Android on the head unit. I mostly use Amazon music, Pandora, Tune In radio. You can ask: ok google... and so.

The fit on the edges is perfect, although I had to play with the adjustments a few time. There is room for improvement, for example the phone and bluetooth audio apps are really basic but get the job done. I don't really use them directly because of Android Auto. Finally, no i don't miss the stock head unit.

Thanks

 

Just to have a better perspective.

 

Thanks for posting this!

Really liking the oem fit of this, did you originally have the entune premium headunit?

That's the one I have but I hear the frame is different from entune+

 

Hi,

No, mine was not JBL. Anyways you should ask them because there are units advertised on Aliexpress that looked similar and support JBL.

 

Hi,

Here is a quick video of the unit. The mic of camera used did not helped with the sound, but the radio sounds great in person.

Thanks

 

They have it up listed for a Corolla o their website now Corolla should be the same.size if memory serves me correct

 

It seems that it includes the bezel. I don't know if it can be removed from the bezel and if it still works for the Tacoma. They have the one for the sienna listed: https://www.ebay.com/itm/9-Android-...timedia-System-for-Toyota-Sienna/183864618108

 

Does the factory mic work?

 

The unit has a built in microphone afaik.
