Joying Android 4.4.4 Kitkat Toyota Head Unit
I'm not sure if anyone has already covered this model on the forum but I ordered one of these units to give it a go. I was going to do a tablet install but decided to try this instead. The main things that it appealed were the fact it was running Kitkat, it has a cd/dvd slot, fits the bay without gaps for the OEM look & physical buttons (with selectable illumination colour). It arrived today so I'm gonna install it in the next day or two and feed back my impressions to anyone that might be interested. If you've any questions or want me to test anything out let me know! http://www.carjoying.com/quad-core-a...vr-steeri.html [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4OJP45aOu0"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4OJP45aOu0[/ame] |

The one I bought is close to that, but not identical: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80493
It's probably in the same family as the ones covered here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2660662 |

When you get it installed try something like bluetooth tethering with your phone see if thats possible on this. I was considering an android powered head unit but I use Google Play Music (the subscribed streaming part) and would love to have control over that on the head unit (Verizon Unlimited Data ;D )
Its either something like this if it works or I find a Head Unit with Android Auto. Would much rather have this and run Torque or Dash Command on it. |

Hm, I may need to check this out for the price. I was excited to have the fancy head unit in my 10 series when I got it but it is absolutely horrible.

The android unit I bought from Eonon.com (GA5167, pictured above) is 90% plug n play and fits perfectly in the dash. It supports Bluetooth connection to phone/obd2, WiFi support, and torque works. Root and custom Roms/tweaks are available. I spent about $350 on the unit and would buy it again. There's a ton more info on these units in that XDA thread I linked above.

That is pretty cool... So what happens if you want to use the in car speaker for hands free and not the one that comes with the head unit? will it interface with the OEM mic?

No, you need to rig that yourself. That's the one thing I am missing after going aftermarket. Usb plug and aux jack in dash are still functional, however.

Really interested in this unit also, can the beep sound when you press a button be disabled in the settings menu? How is the build quality?
Thanks! |

I have this same model (sold under Joyous)
::edit Apparently Joyous is the manufacturer, Joying is a reseller but they are identical http://www.dxsoul.com/product/joyous...0#.VZs1G_lVhBc I've used dealextreme in the past so I was happy to find it for only 300 with free shipping. Order took about a week to process, and it was shipped DHL express once it hit the states. Total time in transit was only 2 business days. You can also plug your android/apple phone in and do screen mirroring. There is a dedicated USB plug for that, worked with my Note Edge perfect. Plugs right into factory harness, requires re-pinning a connector to have the factory amp power on (without this step, the door woofers will not be active and sound will be poor and tinny). Instructions for re-pin: Pins 8 and 9 are for the antenna amp and factory amp, respectively. Pin 9 is needed (and present in the OEM harness) while pin 8 is not required (no wire on factory harness). The harness adapter has pin 8 populated with the antenna amp wire, but pin 9 is blank. Your goal is to steal pin 8 and crimp/solder it up to the amp power wire (Fused, orange w/blk stripe) and put it in pin position 9. You can cut/tape the antenna wire from pin 8, it is not needed. All work is done on the supplied adapter harness, so you are not modifying the factory harness at all. Antenna requires an adapter which is available from Metra, I did not find the exact adapter yet as I do not use the radio at all

Did you have to modify the mount plate on the OEM bracket to fit the Joying/joyous unit/ I got my unit a few days ago . There were 2 position dimple on the plate that i had to drill out, because no position hole was on the aftermarket HU. Also i had do shave off the mounting hole on the bracket by around 2 to 3 mm. In order for the Bezel to close flush when the HU was installed. The head unit was sitting too forward, pushing front bezel out, and the lock on the back of the bezel not lock on. The HU Bezel has a gap higher than the passanger side. So by shaving the hole a bit toward the back, the bezel now sit flush. I will post picture later |

I did end up having to shave about 2mm from the bezel where it was contacting the android unit. The bezel would snap on, but look pushed out slightly
