Very happy that you are doing the single din reviews now!! I want to upgrade my stereo without molesting the centre console and this unit looks to be a front runner! I just need the check the dimensions of the screen to ensure it does not cut off any of the buttons or slide out cup holder ***Update*** I have purchased this and can say it works just as shown in the video. I bought a universal iso adapter and FM connection adapter from Halfords to fit the stereo and removed the illumination (orange) wire from the iso harness.... Works perfect!!! Very happy

Definitely saving this video in case I buy an older single DIN car. I've been looking at a few SN95 Mustangs.

Great video. I’ve just ordered one and looking forward to fitting it. Was the only single din unit that appealed to me.

I have it all fitted and wired up but for the life of me I can’t get Apple car play. Do I need to download another app or anything? Any help would be much appreciated

great vid , i have the joying 8.8" , and the sound is great with a pioneer gm-d1004 , only problem in a bmw z4 with the roof down is the screen goes all funny in direct sun light , have installed a antiglare screen protected to try and help.

Thank you very much for all your excellent videos. I’ve just installed an Xtron head in my car, and wasted a weeks evenings trying to get the dab working. Tried everything suggested on all the tech sites, including screening the dab usb stick. All to no avail. Head came with Dab+ installed, found 60 or so station,and was showing a full signal, but no music playing, just an occasional garbled screech. This evening decided to try different apps, and on trying DabZ success. Why does Xtrons ship with an app that plainly doesn’t work with it’s system.

Hello. Thanks for your very thorough review. Excellent evaluation. I have had this unit in my '89 BMW e30 now for over a year and while very pleased with it, my only complaint is the sound quality of phone calls. It is especially poor for the person receiving calls from my end. I have tried several mics and there doesn't seem to be a fix. Have you experienced the same issue? Can you recommend a good mic that will improve the phone call quality? Thank you.

Very helpful thank you. Looks like a perfect size for my old LandRover Discovery 2. Any more info on good compatible dash cameras, reversing cameras, adding DAB and anything additional needed to intergrate steering controls? 😊

Thanks for briefly addressing the aftermarket amplifier connections. I still think Joying and other brands should invest more into the Preamp RCAs. The SPDIF and Optical connections are nice but there aren't many aftermarket amplifiers that support those connections. I would've paid $100 more for decent 4V RCAs.

@SaabUnleashed Looking at many of your review vids for ideas. That in-home Juke Box is pretty much what I am planning to use a Android Head Unit for. The features on the wish list are pretty much stand alone. No phone required. Just Wi-Fi for streaming music audio mostly. Also looking for an app that will record what is streaming to say a thumb drive for remote listening while on the road without reception access. Is that realistic to ask of a receiver head? Can you advise on this application?

Mmm looks interesting and I may buy one to fit in my Porsche 968. Has an ISO loom connection from when a Becker Mexico head unit was professionally installed years ago. Now have a Continental CDD7418UB-OR CD / MP3-Autoradio Bluetooth DAB+ Radio but I haven’t really liked it although it looks fairly OEM. It feels cheap and the interfaces are fairly clunky. Maybe this is the single DIN head unit to replace it? I’ll update if I do go for it.

Hi, I was just wondering, if using Android auto with the USB cable with how much does the radio charge the phone? Or is it better to use wireless and use a fast charger?

Great video, 2 questions 1) Can you test their "Newest UI 7-Inch Universal Double Din Head Unit" which have on their site? 2) Also, can you delete this grey developer circle which appears on the left side of the unit? Thanks!

It'll be interesting to wait and see if this much better cpu ends up in the Joying form factor units. The snapdragons don't really cut it against the competition anymore.

Yes it can be removed from the main body. You can actually order a longer cable. The type of installation that you are refering to is called "Zero din" (as opposed to single and double din) which represents the main unit being hidden away from the actual usable touch screen. This type of installation can be done with Joying or Idoing head units

I have the Joying Universal 7” UIS7862 8 Core as well and am trying to determine just how I can connect the Joying External CD Player (USB), DVR (USB), TPMS (USB), iPhone 12 Pro (lightning to USB). Joying, of course, stated all were able to be connected however there are only 2 USB (OTG & #2). Since on Joying Forum, they suggest connecting the iPhone to the OTG for CarPlay, yet on the other hand they have complaints of no net increase in Charge coming from the OTG Port, I am intending on adding a Coolgear (12V Powered USB HUB) to power my iPhone and other accessories. The question is should I connect this Hub to the OTG or #2? I am also not sure if I can simultaneously use say the iPhone CarPlay and still record DVR and be notified by TPMS if a tire is running out of air (which has happened at 90mph!) of all devices are connected to the HUB as compared to being directly connected?

You can indeed expand storage with a thumb drive or a micro SD card. You mention RAM, and I just want to reiterate that RAM is not storage.

I bought this exact unit from them a couple of months ago and it had been working perfectly. Then recently the touch functionality on the screen stopped working. Their customer support offered a new touch panel which I would then need to replace by myself but they couldn't offer any instructions on how to do so. I rejected this offer and we then agreed on them sending an entirely new screen, but I would have to pay 100€ first. Once received, I would have to return the defect screen and then get 70€ paid back. I am currently waiting for the new screen. Up until this point, I don't think that their customer support has been all that great, but hopefully it will turn out okay. I just think people should be aware of this before buying.
