Hizpo 7" Android 7.1.2 head unit
 
Recently purchased one of these new Hizpo nougat powered head units. Boot up is instant after first power up. Sound quality is good, and the unit is very zippy. I'm still in process of getting it fit properly, but so far I'm very pleased! A few shots:

Ok took a bit of creativity but it's finally in. Unfortunately messed up the dash a little bit :( . As the picture shows, that was only way to really get it to fit. The head unit bezel is too tall so it really needs to sit far back. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...00b8420120.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d87d3b2023.jpg

In for details - nice clean looking unit, aside from a little bit of dremeling, how was fit? Gaps?

Edit: nvm I just saw the text with the last pic, so sitting further back how is overall fit? thx

I will be honest, it's a bitch. Unit needs to sit far back. I used double sided tape to stick on the adapter for the gaps. The bezel on the unit has a step so it causes it to bang against the dash trim. So my disclaimer is you will need to do some modification to make it fit. Wiring is very easy, everything is color matched and labeled. All you need is the harness kit and you're good to go. Overall now the fit is good.

Nothing that could be fixed with a different mount? Is the unit itself just too large?

Just the bezel on the unit is too big. As long as you can get the unit mounted far back you good.

Yeah it's clean, no logos. Only negative thing is that the SD slot is not spring loaded.

So far I'm really happy with the sound. I guess these newer units have a better sound MCU. I have no complaints. One thing I love is that unit never powers down completely unless you cut power. Unit has instant on, I guess it goes into a deep sleep.

The only thing holding me back now is mirrorlink (please tell me if it works well) and try using 64gb card if u have one. 32gb is nothing. I have a 64gb USB with all my music :/.

But holy crap man this hu is pretty cheap and seems well made! Any complaints from u?

Does it crash a lot? Does it lag?
Does torque work smoothly?

Need to try the mirroring, haven't done it yet (should work) I myself have a 64gb SD and it reads it. No noticable lag, had an app force close but that's about it. I tried using torque but the unit wasn't picking up the Bluetooth odb dongle I have. Not sure why it's not picking it up :confused: honestly it runs great imo.

Please update me on mirroring whenever u get the chance. This unit is cheaper than joying and kinda looks better. How's the volume knob? Does it move smoothly? Sorry for asking too much. Sound quality wise, does this sound better than oem?

Sound is better than OEM. Volume knob has like a click to it, not an actual sound but you can feel it going thru the levels ( I personally like it). It does move smooth though. I'll update when I try the mirroring.

Also the radio reception is really good. It supports HD radio ( needs optional box) also supports OTA tv (w/adapter).

What wiring kit did you need for it?

Was there no way to dremel around the bezel to squeeze it in to the stock trim piece?

Nice. Thanks for the feedback.

Pretty sure I'm gonna get one to try out. Will I need anything else other than that bracket and wire harness set?

Appreciate the help!

I already had the other two items which are the antenna adapter and the USB adapter to keep the factory USB location.

This may also be a good alternative option from HIZPO, this would a good alternate option that would not require the side pieces I'm thinking: https://www.amazon.com/Android-Unive...s=hizpo+toyota

Interesting...says 204mmX103mm, wonder if it would be a tight fit. The Toyota specific Joying's are 200x100. An exact fit unit with 1024x600 resolution is what I've been waiting for. Even the newest 2GB/32GB 200mmx100mm models from Joying still have 800x480 screens for some reason.

I hear ya... personally I've been looking for this Toyota fit one by Dasaita with the better resolution:

Toyota fit: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...800492477.html

They also sell a universal fit one that would fit but for sake of fitment part of me is still leaning towards the Toyota-fit with the premium price tag...

Universal fit: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...612.0.0.pWONZh

There are also options from xtrons but I'm not a fan of the DVR from xtrons. Toyota fit: http://xtrons.com/pb76hgtap-6-95-hd-...or-toyota.html

I'm going to assume that the fit should be the same as OP, since he seemed to have issues with the vertical height, which the ebay listing he bought it from also lists at 103 mm. Also the width for the one OP got was 182, so I guess the one you linked should fill the sides a bit better, however you lose some screen size for an additional bank of buttons.

Rican_D 07-23-2017 04:17 PM

I like the modular approach they are taking with these new units, as far as the rear outputs are concerned. You don't have to have unused wiring in the back since outputs are separate harnesses.

I like the DVR that Dasaita uses with "their" app. Many of the companies seem to use a proprietry style DVR that will link up with their apps... For example xtrons will not neccesary work with just any DVR you attach to it unforunately, same with Dasaita or Joying.

Dam! I can't decide! The hizpo doesn't have that many user reviews. The joying does. But some people keep saying it crashes. One has a cortex a9 (hizpo) the other has intel x3 (I don't know jack shit about processors, I'm an apple guy). Both headunits look good... both look the same tbh lol.

Hizpo has fitment issues right?

To op: did your car come with a double din screen hu? Or the older one from 2013 with no screen?

From the extensive research that I've done, I've heard that it overheats the hu when you're running a dvr and gps+ music.

It was most likely a Dasaita/Hotaudio unit...they're the only ones who have a guy on XDA AFAIK. Try the MTCD or Android Head Unit areas.

allowe 07-24-2017 01:59 AM

Honestly, now it just comes down to the CPU. Like I said before. One has a cortex a9 and the other has an intel atom x3 (joying).
If anyone knows anything about those 2 processors and could shine some light on them, we'd all greatly appreciate it :).

I don't care if I have to pay more, I just want a unit that could multitask a lot of things like music, gps and torque app possibly at the same time. Or mirrorlink with music playing in the background.

My impression from my reading on XDA, which is a lot, is that you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference under normal use. I'd just get whichever one looks/fits the best. Even my old 1GB RAM MTCB unit runs Torque, Google Maps, and XiiaLive or MTCMusic at the same time without any real issues. The newer 2GB RAM units all feature much faster boot and app loading times...for these things the differences in architectures is largely academic to the end user.

One thing to note is that there are no custom ROMs for Intel units, while there are several for RK3188 ones, and at least one for PX5 (as long as the MCU is MTCB/C/D of course).

Rk being this headunit? Or no? (The hizpo)

Oh and I guess the operating system. 5.1 is what most of them have. This hizpo one has 7.1 nougat. (Again; I'm an iOS guy, this stuff is new for me )

Little update, so I contacted the seller about the unit not seeing the obd adapter over Bluetooth. They responded saying they'll speak to the tech and will be sending me an update file. Fingers crossed🤞

On another note I did find this solution for backup cameras: Rear View Reverse Camera for TOYOTA 86 GT FT GT86 FT86 86GT 86FT For Subaru BRZ 2012~2015 CCD night vision backup Parking camera
