2017 Toyota 86 head unit help.....
 

I copied this from the Electronics forum, nobody over there gives a shite about stock stuff, maybe someone here knows.

The only thing I know about it is it sucks and it's called the AXLP-Q17U T10087.

I don't have a manual for it and can not find anything on the web.

Does anyone know how to (if possible) to get this POS to display and play in directory order, and most important, how to get this POS to roll over to the next album?

Is there ANY head unit out there that still has buttons? I don't give a rats rear end about album images, track info, who farted in the studio, phone connectivity and anything else that requires you to look at the stupid thing to operate it.

I want the unit from my '13 back.

Check if you can find the manual for the 2016 Scion FR-S. It's the same headunit without Scion branding.

Or move to Japan and get this headunit.

They have a different HU in the US. Not the same as the 16s for them.

All I really want it to do is play the next album in directory order without intervention. That's all I want, even for Christmas. If I can get the stock unit to do that I'll be happy. What moron would design a head unit that requires you to actually look at it while driving?

And there is no separate manual for it in the package?

I have one of these in the basement someplace. No looking and plays whatever you push in. Over and over and over and over and over. You would be stuck with music made up to about 1980 though.

I'll go back to the dealer, make a fuss and demand one.

I would go back and politely point out that I didn't get one and request they get me a copy if it would not be too much trouble.

Who will get better service from them down the road?

It may sound like crap, but it would do what I want.

Not sure there is one.

Need more pics of the '17! Enjoy

Not that much different the the FR-S, but I think it's more better. They are both fantastic little cars.

From what I see in the Toyota.com website, it's the same radio. Do you have a picture of the US spec radio ?

Up a bit.

I thought the BRZ FujitsuTen headunit was shit cuz the shuffle button shuffles my entire iPod instead of just the playlist (this option is hidden in a submenu).

My gf had a Pioneer aftermarket HU that wouldn't automatically move onto the next album either when the source is USB.

Is this new HU a Pioneer? I thought it's a Clarion now.

I can't find squat using the number on the front.

Use a plastic trim tool and remove the HU trim surround it's real easy. Then you can undo the screws and check out the back sticker. Hope there's a branding there.

Then I guess once you figure out the brand, you can check out some manuals of that brand's headunits and see if there are clues as to what you want to do with it.

IIRC the MY2017 Toyota 86 HU is a Pioneer and the BRZ is a Clarion for the US market. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct, but I would never go back to that dealer for service, if they forgot to include a basic manual on a new 2017 car imagine what they would forget on basic service.

If your in luck and have another a few Toyota dealers near by, go to another.

You are correct! It is the BRZ HU that is different. There are just to many to keep track of.

Here ya go Petro:

Toyota is such a ripoff. Scion gives you a nice little binder with a pen and a small first aid kit for the manual and paperwork. Does Toyota do this? NO! Bastards.....

You have to get the upgraded option for that.

Also, but on topic, and being totally ignorant of the specific unit, there is usually a setting that can be toggled on and off for playlists between the albums, are you saying that there is no such option?

Happened to me with my new 2014 BRZ. I ended up buying a set of new manuals off eBay for $100 bucks and had Subaru Canada write me a check.

I've never been back to that particular Subaru dealer for service either.

does it only play that particular album and repeats to track 1 of the same album? and what source are you playing from?

I have the same head unit but i'm fine with it...

USB, organized by artist and album. It returns to the start of the current album. Annoying as hell.

Oh is that the problem? Easy, use your phone. Done.

From the photos I've seen, your headunit sure looks like the same one that is in the 2016 FR-S. I had downloaded a PDF copy of the stereo's manual from Scion's website before Toyota took it down. I'm not sure if it will help, but here is a link to download it if you want to check it out:

I do like Neutron for Android as a player, for sure. Maybe I'll just yank that POS out and stick in a small tube amp.

Holy crap, thanks a million!

According to a quick read, I can not get the POS to play the next album unless there is some sort of playlist. Fuck the MP3 generation right in the ears. What sort of moron would not include that stone-simple basic playback mode?

I'll read again carefully after I wake up and have had more coffee. Meanwhile, TC's eight track is looking pretty good. I'll bet you can't even buy an HU with actual buttons. I'm going to go play Mental as Anything on the turntable, BRB.

UMMMMM maybe you should have read my earlier post?

This if f-ing comical:

Do not connect an iPod or operate the device controls while driving

How else to you get it do what you want, dumbass. Is Android supported? I'm not sure the 17 has an Aux input, either.

If not, this POS will be on the roadside out near Jewell today.

I am on the wrong side of the world today, sorry.

Much sorrow, I missed it. Holy crap, thanks a million!

Find somebody with a 13 and trade. There are many that would jump all over the chance.

Plenty of room for this in the dash.

That is seriously becoming an option. My apologies for sounding like a whiney little b, but I can't tell you how annoying this is to me. I have enough trouble driving already . I'll try the playlist option and see how annoying they have made that function. I'm not an MP3 person, and if it has to be made in the car, it's gone.

I still use CDs so am screwed with the new HUs anyway.

i always wondered if it is possible to make USB devices play automatically when you plug in a usb device (for example, an iphone)? it always resets to audio off (2015 fr-s) and i need to select the source everytime

Hey, I also listen to CDs still. In fact I buy them still too :w00t:
I prefer physical over digital.

Also if your an audiophile. CDs offer music in the original format, while for digital most buy in 192 or 320kbps when in fact they should be buying in Flac/Wav for the original source material.

If you do buy in Flac/Wav it's very expensive so your better off buying the CD and having something physical in return.

For example, all my CDs are ripped onto my computer in Flac for easy listening at home. In the car however I bring along the CDs :)

I mostly buy Trance/Hard Dance/Hardtrance/Hardstyle/Hands Up/Uplifting/Bealeric series. (All electronica) I have a few Japanese albums and some Taiwanese albums also.

Have about 300Cds in total currently :party0030:

I understood about 3 words of all that! I like CDs because they are easy to slap in and they remind me of little albums.


Our taste in music could not be more different if we planned it that way.

too bad the twin's stock headunit or my iphone won't read flac/wav so i buy m4a from itunes
