Sorry mate, I did not run a reverse camera cable at this time.

Can you add apps to the unit? Do you know if it supports Waze? Great vid mate

Thanks! Yep, anything on the play store can be installed, I put waze on mine works well, only thing I found is I had to hotspot the unit to my phone for WiFi to use the apps on the unit. I find connecting to my phone via Bluetooth or a wired connection and using the phone apps can be an easier option.

Yeah it doesn't have them in the front as you can see, there are 2 in the back that are cables that I routed out through the bottom. One is power only and one is communication and power.

I noticed it covers the factory clock in the top of the screen or is it just the angle u recorded in??

It does a little, it depends on how tall you are. I'm 6' and can see the factory clock while driving. But only just.

Hey mate I purchased one similar to this and I am having trouble getting the ac button to work, any ideas

The a/c button? Is the OEM switch sticking in the facia hole or something? If so, I guess you could file the hole out a little bit.

Hey mate I’ve ordered this exact unit from your link you provided. Just wondering do you know of a reverse camera that is compatible with it?

@simmoshomeworkshop

Hey mate, the yellow input seems to be a pretty standard fitment for a few vehicle reverse cameras, I have recently ordered one and intend to do a how to video on the install when it arrives. Alternatively check out some of the packages that come with the head unit and a camera, could help see what cameras are being shipped with that haled unit.

For the money it’s a bargain what you get. For anyone else that wants to know the developer options password is the date in this format e.g. 2024.15.02

Hi Simon Just wondering does this radio work with apple iPhone? Cheers Craig

Hi Craig, I've never used an apple phone with it but the description on the one I bought says "Wireless Carplay: You can choose wired connection or wireless connection to carplay, connect to Apple mobile phone, access mobile phone address book, mail, notification, map navigation, music, video and other information, and realize voice control." Hope this helps.

Hey there, how’s the head unit held up, any updates?

@simmoshomeworkshop

6 ай бұрын

Pretty good, still doing everything it should even after some very hot summer days. If I had any complaints, it would only be not being able to get DAB digital radio in my region, but that would be all, it still functions like new.

This is pretty cheap I agree compared with VHEDIA brands etc. Is it leggy to connect on start up or slow w Google maps while music is playing or anything?

@simmoshomeworkshop

6 ай бұрын

I think as usual, you do get what you pay for, for me I use it for basic BT music and the occasional google maps use, and it's just fine for that. But I don't think it would compare fairly with the high end touch screens out there. You can use a wired connection, BT or hot spot wifi to your phone, the maps do seem to lag sometimes especially on the hotspot. Start up is just fine, immediate in fact, if you haven't isolated the vehicle battery. If you are looking to multi task and demand a lot of the unit it may not meet your expectations, but once again for the price it does fine by me Hope this can help!

Hi mate do ur 2 usbs work I’ve got mine and they don’t seem to charge my phone or do anything how did u set them up Thanks

@simmoshomeworkshop

Ай бұрын

Hi mate, yep mine both work, one to connect my phone and one to provide charge only, no setting up required. There are 2 spots they plug into in the back of the unit, the 4 pin plug and receptacle is only charging current and the 6 pin one is data and charge, might pay to make sure they are secured into the correct sides? Hope this can help!

Hi,You should not have bought the radio frame. The basic radio frame is suitable for a 9-inch radio.

It seems alot of these head units from eBay all (or at least most of them) come with the frame for the same price either way. I didn't even try to fit it to the OEM besel, could be a good way to go.
