This is awesome I have the exact same car 2020! I hated that it didn't have Android auto. I use a carlinkit but I'm debating on just doing this. It just seems so much more useful and advanced than the current one.

@squishyhammer

6 ай бұрын

Thanks! 🙂I still have much love for the Carlinkit if it wasn't for my Toyota display going kaput. Now since I got the H6 I really do feel that it makes our notorious Corollas' more "complete". I'm so surprised by the stark differences though as to what it could have been if Toyota spent more time and money on giving us a modern system. Especially when 2020 wasn't that far away - looking back at the old Entune, its medieval in my eyes - they could have also given us a better 10" screen, which by the way, is always the main compliment when people get in my car now :) and the higher resolution makes all the street names more sharper in Android Auto. Anyway I'll detail everything in Part 2 when I get around finishing editing the video! Cheers!

On the H6 it auto adjusts correctly on every startup once my sim or wifi gets connected. I will still manually adjust the onboard clock once in a while when its daylight savings time.

If you want something really quick and easy for AA I would recommend the carlinkit. However the larger res screen allows more clarity especially in AA the street names are sharper and has more space for split windows. I do think my AINAVI is superior in that sense but it all comes down to cost and the work to set everything up. Cheers

Hey squishy I have a question for you, I've had my unit for a couple months now and I love it, granted it's not the exact same one that's in this video same brand though but the bigger screen the 13-in one. I've been having an issue where sometimes it decides to disconnect from my car essentially I just lose the backup camera and the ability to like do stuff with the steering wheel like volume and change song. And the only way I have found to fix it which thankfully I've gotten pretty damn quick at it but I actually unplug one of the plugs and plug it back in. They will not work again until I do that. Is this ever happened to you?

I don't think I would go any larger myself, perhaps some people with 13inch model can chime in here.

Thank you for this video, I just got the H5 for my 2019 non hybrid corolla and I can't get the CANBUS to work properly...

Could you please share the CANBUS settings you have? Also, where is your rear camera yellow connector? what you showed is connecting one yellow to another and they both connect to the head unit. Mine is coming from the back and has a red wire with the yellow connector.

The speed on my screen actually comes from the GPS when connected. The cam should be connected like 14:52 thru the yellow rca connections that both stem from my H6 (I'm using the stock Toyota reverse camera) Not sure if H5/G5 is the same. The CANBUS is set on the first generic Toyota corolla model - I'll have to double check but I didn't play around with that much.
