Unless someone has already mentioned it, the android head unit opens up a world of options now that you have it. First off, you can add a Bluetooth OBD2 reader to pair with the head unit and run Torque Pro and create custom software gauges to read out practically any possible engine sensor. Secondly, you can install an aftermarket multi camera birds eye 3d interpolating system. This not only replicates the 360 degree overhead camera system available in say the new land rover defender (perfect visibility for reversing and 4x4 wheel placement) , but it can also serve as a 360 degree dashcam, all working off software on the head unit. This is just the tip of the iceberg tho, if you factor in raspberry pi/arduino, your only limitation is your ingenuity.

I was anxious the whole video that you weren’t going to paint that panel black. Peak satisfaction when you did mate, well done.

Nice video mate Really nice 2-DIN NAV unit, better than my laptop mounted on 80's passenger grab rail. But I think I achieved this same goal of isolating the cranking battery a lot easier than you did dude... I simply installed a 200AMP Red Arc isolator between them. I wired it so it opens ONLY when A) the alternator feeds it 12VDC, or B) a toggle switch feed from 2nd battery (as a get out of gaol free). So my whole camping solution always runs from the 2nd battery - unless the car is started/running, and then Red Arc prioritises charging the primary battery first.

Nice video! I was looking at the same sony head unit you had earlier this week but ended up getting a Atoto S8 Ultra for my GU instead. After watching this i think i made the right choice

Love the videos mate. I’ve had an ATOTO for 3 years now and it’s great. Connects straight to BT and hotspot when I get in. Great piece of kit. If you want a Jeep liberty to pimp you can do mine for free 😂

Awesome video Patrick, and no wonder you are smiling! I am like you, that is the perfect HU for today, since it combines everything that we do and all in one place. That 10in screen is massive, but I remember when I first got my 7in GPS screen - size matters in that situation. I am a big fan of what you did re powering HU and UHF from the 2nd battery - I had never thought of doing that as it's the cat stereo, right! But why pull out a tinny BT speaker at camp when you can wind the windows down and have full usage. Great work mate.

100% using the switch panel idea cheers boys love ya work

I reccomend also adding a timer relay so when you push a button it start a 1 hour timer relay which turns everything on for a specific time like 1 hour Really helps automate everything! These units also have door detection too, you can have the unit start up when the doors are open, etc

That new head unit and switch panel "is grouse" 😁 I got the XAV-AX5000 instead of the XAV-AX3000 for my 80 Series, for the same reasons you showed. The 5000 has the same screens as smartphones - TFT Active Matrix. It has a greater viewing angle than the 3000. The 5000 is multi-touch capable, while the 3000 isn't - which only has a resistive screen. My 5000's screen have the same touch feel and responsiveness as my iPhone. And it sound's like I got a bargain, as I paid less than $600 for my 5000 new early this year. Loving your content. 👍

I have the Sony XAV-AX8000 which I think is great. It fits into a single din slot with the 9” screen and has the ability for moving up and down and tilting onto different angles. It’s in my 1996 nj pajero and I don’t get any glare on the screen. As you would know from your old pajero, the radio slot is mounted down a bit low under the air con controls, but I found it works well where it is. Very responsive screen and load up time and works very well with apple carplay. Keep up the good work with the cruiser. Would be good to catch up and see it all in person, and for you to see my pajero and how I’ve set that up.

Looks so good nice work

I'm interested in this unit. And like you, I've never heard of Atoto. So please do a follow up review, say in 6 months time to see how it's been performing. I'd like to know if it's reliable and durable before parting with my cash. Great channel. 👍

Bloody mint set up 👌 game changer 🤟

I've got a Pumpkin android for my Jeep. Looking forward to wiring it all in!

You should bring the pajero into the videos again with the 80's series with them both! Just think it could be a good idea for the channel for the people that like the pajeros together :)

Looks so good!

Good to see you can get a modern HU inside a 80s series. With my NW Pajero I got a 9" Joying HU which fits in the dash all nice and factory So it has the same features as yours with GPS, 4G and Wifi, so much better that a screen mounts nav system on a tiny screen.

Here's something from VicRoads you may not be aware of: Learner, P1 and P2 drivers must NOT use a mobile phone (hand-held/hands-free/with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto) for any function while driving (including while stationary but not parked). So this is another really good reason for Liam not to use a phone.

Hi Patrick, The idea of connect the audio system to the aux battery is fantastic! Would you mind sharing how you did this?

Good to see you come down to south morang

Ok, I just bought the S8 Pro and I want to set it up like yours. Any chance you can do a quick video on how to add a power switch so I can run it off my second battery? Also, it’s worth mentioning that there is a video out plug on this thing. I have run a second screen in the back of my Jeep so I can watch a movie back there (it’s set up fro sleeping). Also, the rear view camera is fantastic on that big screen!

You really glossed over the wiring up part! Made it look pretty easy but it’s a bit confusing if you haven’t done it.

Hey that android thing you bought is nice I have a 12.9 inch similar to yours, I reccomend installation wireless buttons for volume control they clip to your steering wheel really nicely and you can program the button to do whatever you want, also I reccomend getting a pocket wifi with a second sim and link it to your phone, have your pocket wifi power on when you start the car that way you don’t need to add hotspot everytime you start the car!

The 80's coming along nicely. Same colour as mine except I have a 1hz-t. Any feedback on the head unit after this short time of use?

Interesting to hear your opinions of the Sony head unit. Just installed a XAV-AX1000 on Friday. Was blown away by the improvement in sound. It has a built in 55w amplifier or something. I am no audiophile and this was my first time working with a car Radio (I'm 19). In any case it was for a 2010 76 series Land Cruiser. And I can tell you the OEM radio is crap. The car did come with aftermarket pioneer speakers. 2 in the front and two in the back. Though the previous owner who had the car for almost two years did a very dodgy install. I even found a Sony speaker floating behind the radio, it's not even connected. It has been floating around for 9 years! (there was no damage it was wedged in). I am a bit of a Sony admirer, but I am not a fan of all their products.

I really hate how they backtracked from the 100 to 1000 model. Unfortunately it is no longer available locally and I was not going to buy it through Amazon. They removed Android Auto and you can't set a custom wallpaper. At first I hated the tuner interface, but after learning how it works and how to save channels it is very intuitive. Though I wish you could name the channels. Will see what I think of it in 6 months time. No it's not my car I just daily it to take my sister to school or run errands. Still need to install the reverse camera. Also the fact that Apple car (or Android auto on the 100 model) is wired only is stupid. But my Dad wasn't going to spend (converted to AUD) $1120 on a high end radio. For $391 including a camera it is a worthwhile upgrade. Edit: Hang on a second, did I see you watch the skid factory?

Awesome video mate, looking at something similar headunit wise on my 120 prado! Am interested to know if you connected your volt metre through one of the switches, then it would only be on when something is in use. Great content lads!

No good for a old man who likes to listen and watch old dvds and cds, haha cheers bro

Aww mate that panel is nice except the pass through for the XRS surely get a flush mount one and mount it so you can't see the wire coming in the back

Love the videos bro! Just wondering, does the atoto come with the appropriate wiring loom or can you buy one? Or did you like hard wire her into the dash?

I got a touch screen GPS multimedia player with reverse camera off eBay for 100 buks..it's so good I got another 1 for my other car

Great vid guys, I' actually going to order one for my GU S1, I've just got to find the adaptor harness to plug into the GU & I'm away (I CBF soldering all of the wires together for the speakers power etc) If you know the kit/harness code pls let me know. Cheers from the Northern Rivers NSW

Great to see someone not just hacking up the dash. Glad you sprayed the panel with black matt. Just grab some convoluted tubing for that extra cable. Please tell me your not running 20 amps thru that switch? Just run a relay man and fuse it. Also did you use 240v cable??? Use DC trailer multi core cable, its good so you can run multiple things and its all wrapped. I second the fact that those sony headunits are a total piece of garbage. JVC used to make some great units, but theres not many other decent options now. The sound processing and filtering in those junky ebay radios is horrendous, you wont notice unless your car has decent speakers etc. But they are good enough if youve got an old car.

Another great informative video guys 👍🏼 Few questions about the Android head unit: 1. Does it have a night time screen dimming function? If so, does it automatically dim? 2. Can you adjust the screen brightness in general? 3. Can you connect it up to steering wheel audio controls if your car has them? 4. When you turn your car off does the head unit shutdown, or is it running in standby off an inbuilt battery (like a tablet) so that when you switch the car back on your head unit turns on quickly?
