Not at all, its plug and play
You will have to customise yourself unfortunately because carwebguru doesn't have an option to export theme settings.

Not having to muck around with other harness' would be a big plus I think.
Unless the harness changed from the previous models, which I don't think has happened its completely plug and play including the stock reverse camera
TPMS is also an awesome option to have, I will be getting this later on for sure.

Nice. That's one thing that was kinda holding me back from some of the others. Didn't want to mess with a converter, or having to buy another harness.

No harness required for this unit, it comes with the correct Toyota Harness but I'm not sure about the other manufacturers.

It’s plug and play for everything except AUX which no one uses anyway once you have bluetooth, carplay “dongle required”, never tested android auto but it’s possible apparently.

This looks really good. Probably going to get this if I can't justify the Dasaita 10.2"


Do you have any day time pictures of it on or off?

I have the older version in my 17 BRZ here is the post of the result http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...4&postcount=61

I like it overall but I still don't like the brightness in day light and I'm looking to upgrade to a 4gb model. Is the newer model by any chance brighter or tolerable in day light?

I honestly love this unit but it’s only great after I completely customised it to my liking.

I can’t say if the new model is brighter than the old one but I feel it’s definitely visible while driving in summer (Australian weather). I have it on the highest setting so I can agree, they need to offer a stronger backlight to counter the glossy screen on these units.
I also recently purchased the CarPlay dongle from Dasaita which allows me to use my iPhone seamlessly. This feature actually blew me away, it’s amazing how well it integrates with the Android head unit, plug your iPhone in and it launches CarPlay instantly.

I’m not actually interested in all native Android features, I only want this unit for CarPlay and Track Torque OBD Monitoring for this years track days, both features work well.

I’ve spent so much time modifying the interface, and it’s simple and works exactly how I want it.

Screenshots with some information.
Main Interface


Simple Carwebguru interface
1. Navigation Button - Sygic Traditional GPS Navigation
2. Performance Button - Torque Application with a custom interface created based on TRD Gauges
3. AV IN Button - AV Application, allows viewing the reverse camera and access RCA input “Not a feature I would use often”
4. Radio Button - Radio Application, self explanatory works really well.
5. CarPlay Button - Autoplay Application launches and from here can access all the usual compatible apps, Google Maps, Waze, Make Calls, Send Messages and Whatsapp etc.
6. Settings Button - Access android head unit settings, Bluetooth, Wifi etc
Bottom player controls for Poweramp, amplifier mode/settings and all applications button.
7. 86 Logo Button - Launches OBDLink (OBD car diagnostics) App.

I saw your post and decided to purchase this head unit. I installed it and am facing an issue. The screen is black but the touchscreen is somehow working. I hear the note it plays when touching the screen. The radio also is working. Any idea what’s the problem?

Hi Jeff, not too sure sounds like a faulty display. Where did you buy the Dasaita unit? Contact them ASAP
