Thank you for your support.

I am debating between this and an Apple CarPlay module. Once this is installed, is there an firmware update that will allow settings within the original OEM head unit to be customized? As an example, the OEM head unit has a setting where the door locks can either all open when you use the key fob or the driver door only with the key fob or the smart key on the door handle. Changing the level of the back door hatch in the cargo area can be done through the OEM head unit daytime running headlights can be turned on or off within the OEM head unit. These are just some of the major ones that I would not want to lose access to, I did run a test where I took the negative battery terminal off of the battery to see if the settings stayed how they were programmed or if they would reset and they did stay the same as they were originally programmed in the head unit. I’m wondering if you guys cannot provide access to these essential vehicle customization OEM options if we just have to set up the vehicle the way that we want prior to putting your aftermarket head unit in and hope that the settings never revert back to a factory reset, as I don’t know where that information would be stored if it’s not stored Within the OEM head unit? As an example if I have all of the door locks set to open at the same time through the OEM head unit and I put your head unit in will that setting remain or will it revert back to the factory setting of just the driver door openingwith one push of the unlock on the key fob? If all of the functions that we set up in the original head, unit will remains stored on the main computer of the vehicle. I may be OK with that, but if they could ever be wiped out while your head unit is in and the only way I would have access to change it back is to reinstall the original head unit that is just unacceptable to me as I’m locked out of way too many features on this vehicle, I think you guys need to address this publicly as everyone needs to know what they are getting themselves into and quite frankly you should create a firmware update or an app to address this issue if you don’t have an answer. Please let me know as I would like to purchase your unit, butit’s not acceptable to lose all of those features. Time is of the essence thank you for your response.

Nice Job! If your remove the panel around the speedometer first it will make the rest easier :)

Great video - very interested to hear what you think in a month or so! Thanks for posting this video. Will it let you use Android Auto for navigation and also let you use the FM radio?

Very informative tutorial! Question: what does the power button do? That's the one right above the 'house/home' button. Is there a way to turn off the display but still have the unit operational? Thanks!

Thanks for the review and tutorial on the install. Because of your video, I purchased the same unit and it is working great! The only issue I am having is being able to hear my music from Spotify on the CarPlay in ALL the speakers. For some reason it is only playing in the front speakers. When I play the radio through the android section of the unit, all speakers are working and I am able to EQ the lows, miss, and highs. BUT, when I play music through the CarPlay section of the unit, the music is very flat with no EQ and it only plays through the front speakers. Have you had this same issue or do you know what I am doing wrong?

I need help getting my back up camera to work in my 2016 Highlander. I made sure the yellow back up cable is plugged into the back up yellow plug and verified it is the cable attached to the factory harness. I also tried updating all the resolutions but nothing.

Your video was very nicely done. I have a neighbor who has an android type radio from a competitor's company, and units look exactly the same from the outside. He complains the screen is to dark in direct sunlight and he is unable to pick up location radio stations clearly. How is the ViaBecs different, does it also have these same problems.

Question to use the GPS I need to connect wifi from my phone ? O the stereo ready haven't

This is a great video! Btw, is the Apple CarPlay unit compatible with the original dashboard screen (between the speedometer and rpm meter)? i.e. if you play a song using the new infotainment device, would you be able to use the steering wheel buttons to scroll pages on the original dashboard, and see that the name of the song in that dashboard screen too? - Cheers!

Unfortunately, it can't keep the feature.

I just installed this in my 2014 Highlander Limited with JBL. So far I really like the system. Everything seems pretty easy to locate and it's very user friendly. I have encountered one issue that I'm wondering if it's been addressed yet. With music, I noticed that not all channels are coming through. I followed the installation instructions that were provided, but I'm wondering if connecting the red and white aux cables is forcing the sound to only come through two channels. With the JBL setup, do I need to have the red and white cables connected for the amp to function properly?

Everything is working well. The only thing I cannot figure out is why the volume on apps like Netflix, TikTok etc is very low. I turn the volume up all the way on the viabecs, but it’s not turning up that loud? The music and maps work very loud. Any fix for this?

When do you install the screen protector? Did you remove both layers of plastic on the screen first?

@viabecsexpert5681

17 күн бұрын

We sent a 10-inch tempered film with the package. you need to remove both layers of plastic on the screen before install temmered film. ”I applied the screen protector but there are big bubbles that I can't get out. Please help! ” Using a credit card or a similar object: If the bubbles persist, you can try using a credit card or a similar flat, rigid object to push the bubbles towards the nearest edge of the screen protector. Use gentle, even pressure to avoid scratching the protector or device screen. Heat method: Sometimes, using a hairdryer on low heat can help soften the adhesive of the screen protector, making it easier to manipulate and remove bubbles. Hold the hairdryer a few inches away from the screen protector and move it in a circular motion for about 15-20 seconds. Then, press down on the bubbles as described above.
