FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (ALSO : XTRONS has updated the unit since my video was released. I have added 2 different versions to the description) Q: Why not just by this ebay radio for half the price? They look the same after all. A: Although they may look the same on the outside, the radios are completely different in function. I have no personal experience with other brands, so you make find air conditioning, steering wheel controls, and other features to not work properly. Q: Is this video sponsored by XTRONS? A: No, I purchased this myself with little knowledge about it. I discovered this brand by doing research, but once I found it to work so well, I decided to share it with the rest of the Accord community. Q : Why doesn't my climate control work? A : Make sure your unit is made by XTRONS. All of the aftermarket head units for Accords look nearly identical, but have different software and wiring. Q : Mine is XTRONS but climate control still doesn't work. A : The unit seen in this video has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Since then, they have updated it to have 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage, but some have reported issues with that version. Make sure you have the 2/16 version to prevent issues, or contact XTRONS if you already have the 4/64 and it isn't working. I personally don't have any experience with the updated models, so just check the reviews first to play it safe. Q : Does it have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto? A : No, it doesn't come with it. But you can buy an CarPlay or Android Auto USB dongle and plug it into the USB ports. Q : Does the storage compartment still open? A : Yes it does, just be sure to zip tie all the wires up and out of the way. Q : Do the AC buttons light up? A : They are kinda dim, but yes they light up enough to read at night. Q : What dash kit/radio install kit do I need? A : None. It fits in the stock radio spot without any adapters. Q : Can I use a back up camera? A : Yes, plug the included harness into the back of the unit, and hook the camera too it. Then tap the wire labeled "reverse" on the main harness into the reverse lights.

Thank you so much for the video, following your instructions allowed me to replace my broken stock radio in about 1 hour.

Flatbed Freestyle? This guys got TASTE 👍🏾

Good work bro. Keep playing that Don Q. Salute! 👍🏾

Thank you for the tutorial I learned a lot and installed the unit I'm trying to set up the Wi-Fi and blue tooth. Very good explanation I installed within an hour..

many thanks have the same android radio i didnt know that i can change colour ,now i can thanks indeed through the extra settings plus putting car logo as default.

thanks man I just bought a 07 2 door v6 accord and liked everything about it besides the fact that I have to use a shitty Bluetooth radio adaptor, ill be buying one of these as soon as possible.

Great videos bro

Add Wayz from the store to be your Nav, so you can see cars on side of road, potholes, delays, red light cameras, and police.

Absolutely love this channel, have a 7th gen myself with only 80k and all the stuff you’ve been doing to the car is amazing. I have a question though, can you put apple car play on it?

Excellent pair of videos! I have been looking at replacements for the stock radio in my sons' car: they either install where "the box" is or I need to spend $240 on an install kit to replace the stock radio in place. This looks like just the ticket. Thanks!

Can u demotrate audio quality I just bought one for my gf/soon to be wife yesterday for her 2004 Honda Accord her radio when out last month from a thinderbender and it will be here april2020 22nd-24th plz and thx God bless you and ur family through covid 19

"I'll mute that cuz I don't want to get demonitized" 😂

If only a REAL brand would come out with something like this. That way you would have professional implementation of Android Auto and Sirius XM, among other features, without any lame workarounds or dongles.

We not gonna talk about my boy playing that Don Q

I was not satisfied with the genuine audio when I was on the cl7 yuro-R and purchased it on ebay. I can't set it up just like you, and I remember it was a bit difficult to use with the right handle. When you watch KZfaq, it seems that it is running smoothly and the version of android is improving. Please take care of yuro-R. From Japan.

This is perfect, I am eyeing a used accord with a factory radio navi and I would definitely like something more modern that i can use with my phone and you did a really great of breaking everything down in both videos and I will definitely save by doing it myself. Thanks! Also, quick question but for wifi, I assume you used your phone's hotspot?

holy shit - respect for still replying to comments lmao

Good video .I got a different model but i figure theyre pretty much the same

Is their a setting for the back light on the controls below the display? Mine is not lit. Kind of hard to see at night.

Great vids! I'm looking to upgrade my daily driver dash and I have a few questions about your setup. 4 years on, is everything still working - including the HVAC buttons? How long is the boot-up from [turning the key to IGN] to [useable screen]? Can you customize HVAC Mode options to display on the screen, instead of cycling through? How are OTA Android updates? Did it update the OS to 12 or 13? How well does HotSpot tethering work? Did you connect a back-up cam and was it Plug 'n Play setup? Thanks!

Ah August 2019. A much simpler time lol

Kindly demonstrate a screen cast/projection.. I mean, connecting your phone display such that the phone's screen is displayed on the head unit...

Amigo compré una radio similar para mi auto, pero al presionar los botones del aire acondicionado no se visualiza en la pantalla, así mismo no se ilumina dichos botones al encender las luces en la noche. Favor tus comentarios. Gracias

Can you sync the Bluetooth tooth too with the jdm steering wheel got the radio thinking bout getting the steering wheel

Hi When I choose ChangYuanTong for my honda accord 2007-single zone AC , I got 3 options Accord_7 ((when select: All_0x4A_00)) Accord_7 ((when select: All_0x49_00)) Honda_accord_7_f6_cyt ((when select: All_0x02_00)) Don't know what to choose??? Need help please

That car is a dying breed. Had an ex for 10 years. That was my baby

Good informative video! I just got mine and I’m going to install in the next few days. I was curious, I have an apple device. What should I do after instillation to download apps and make it seem less with my iPhone? Thanks for any advice!

mans bumpin playboi carti 🔥🔥🔥

I have a 2006 executive Tourer that has sat nav dvd player built in behind flap. Will this still work or will i have to remove the player completely?

I have the same radio, but seems to be a never version and I dont seem to have all those settings

Wow cool! Thanks for the Video 👍🏽 You can also control it with the iPhone? Apple Car Play??

I bought a radio like this, not from XTRONS, but its a radio that pretty much works exactly how this is. Only im having trouble getting the Honda logo i keep chosing to come on everytime I start my car, and I cant factory reset it because the passwords weird.

When I plug my phone into the USB, it won't let me connect to the wireless network through xtrons. What am I doing wrong? It works through WiFi, but not through mobile network.

Hi, very helpfull video. Ive got a 2003 accord with standard sat nav. I have fitted the android system but i cant get the heater display to show. Also the top stock display with the clock how do i still get that to show.

hey, i'm planning to upgrade my radio to xtron the same model as you have installed 4 years ago. But before i'll purchase, is there any issues came out so far till now?. Thanks so much!

How is the built-in mic, any good? Also, I noticed you have a unique steering wheel with what looks like lane assist or adaptive cruise buttons?! Tell me about those!

Nice to meet you I watched a great video. I have a question, please tell me if there is a navigation of XTRONS which can be attached to the 2004 Accord CBA-CM2 internavi.

I have a similar radio, abit different software and im wondering if anyone knows an app or uses one for climate control. I dont know how hot, cold or what mode is on when i use the climate control as it doesnt display it, apreciate any feedback

Dude they light up at night? Lol The control switches, they light up when you illuminate parking or headlights lights 😉 👍

Hey does the revolving door for the storage compartment under the radio still work? Also I noticed you didn’t fool with the cruise control buttons, does the cruise control still function as normal??

Did soldering the brake wire and ground work, for some reason my radio thinks my brake is never on so I can never use the apps even when the brake is on

my stereo looks like your but i need to know how to change the speed to miles. also need to change the heat to fahrenheit. and how do i set up navnavigation

Can anyone tell me where I can find the green connector for the ac controls....I didn’t realize I bought a dual zone radio but my Honda is a single zone...Radio didn’t come with the harness for switching

Looks awesome! Does this kit have apple car play or can you suggest one that has ?

Just a simple question... A lot of android units that i´ve seen around does not have a good sound/volume quality. In fact, most part of them are even worse then the original factory units. What can you tell me about your unit? It's from Xtrons, right?! For me it's a major point to have a great sound quality and that's my biggest fear about changing my unit on my Ford Focus 2010 with a Sony radio (very good sound) to a android unit. Thanks

Hey thanks a lot for this video, very helpful, I'm going to do it soon. Is it a capacitive or a resistive touchscreen? I've seen you pressing on it but I might be mislead. Thank you regardless.

How is night driving? Can the screen be dimmed enough to not distract? Can it be turned off including the back light, but audio still work? Any idea if an oldschool ipod will connect to the usb ports and allow the headunit to control it?

Good choice of music

I installed the same unit for my 03 Accord and for a dual zone and for some unknown reason my Mode does not work and also temperature control is set on hot with no way to control it, any ideas?

When i attempt to use the ac function,the seats shown in your video don't even pop up on my screen. The AC unit functions but only if I use the buttons manually I can't get the seats to pop up on the screen like you do when you press the mode button. What am I doing wrong?

I’m having a problem with the equalizer. Front and rear speaker options don’t work. Only option the unit gives is for rear speakers

Would you happened to know if they have something like that for a 2006 Nissan Altima?

Does the display switch fully off while still playing audio etc? , Great video btw.. thank you..

I just installed mine on my 2006 honda accord and im having trouble getting the AC (cold air) to work. I've even tried to use the heat but no luck. Mine is single air but those two buttons that don't work on yours, light up like as if theyre trying to work on mine. Im assuming that's most likely the issue? Anyway, if you have any idea what it might be, I'd appreciate some direction. thanks

Have you figured how to do apple car play on this thing I can’t figure it out and also where do I plug in my reverse camera

Have you tried using it while wearing polarised sunglasses? Some screens seem to be affected more than others. Also, have you encountered anyone putting one of these instead of the stock navigation unit? There's a little radio/clock/temperature display on the panel where you put your GPS antenna, which I'd hate to stop working.

Wait is there aux input? Whats that rst hole.. and a mic input??

Thanks for Part 1. It helped in installing my XTRONS PR19ACH_L 10.1" Android 9.0 radio in my 2006 Honda Accord SE. All seems to work fine but I have no Rear Defroster. The Defroster light comes on on the radio button but no power going to the rear defroster. Front heating is working fine. Any ideas as to how to get the Rear Defroster going??? Am I missing something ???

Watched your pt 1 as well, both great videos! I have an 07 CL9 and I really want to buy one but nowhere ships to australia :( Any aussies know where to buy this? *edit* found out that xtrons delivers to aus but their website is slooooooow af

I have a 2006 Honda Accord When I compared the buttons on the aftermarket head unit in this video to the buttons I actually have on my Honda I noticed one button was missing on the aftermarket unit and that button says MAX A/C will I lose this function with this head unit?

Didn't look like it in the video, but to confirm - when you're playing music over bluetooth, does the screen show the song title/artist/album information?

I bought the same 10 inch screen of amazon for $500, but had different software. Like mine doesn't show where the ac vents are pointing when I click the vent, got to feel it. Next the a/C Doesn't work sometimes and the rear defroster doesn't work. So all in all get this exact one and not any other types.

I am having trouble mirroring my phone to use my apps on my new stereo. To do so its telling me to download an app but the app cost money. Any suggestions?

Does it matter how much ram is available for radio ive seen one with most all the same specs except ram and memory iive seen 1 gb ram radio for 200 instead of 330

If I were to get this, how would I download maps (let’s say one of the country) for offline use & how much space would it use up. Also Would it work with a play store app such as waze/google maps

When I turn on my AC the screen still doesn't pop up so I can't see what the level is at when I turn my knobs nothing pops up on the screen I can't see how low or high or hot the temperature is could you help me fix that?? also when I screen mirror my phone it doesn't play audio is there something I can do to fix that

so when you connect your phone thru bluetooth , is bluetooth used to access internet from your phone ?

I bought the latest model xtrons with more memory .the bass is nowhere near as good as in my 2005 ex premium stock CD player. My a/c works but does not blow as hard with this unit. Back up camera works my main issue is my front speakers will not work. I checked settings and connection everything is fine except front two speakers will not work. I installed my original CD player back in the car and front speakers work again so nothing is wrong with my speakers. I even got another unit because I thought the unit I had was defective. front speakers still won't work any suggestions?

Good video, i would like to do this to my accord 2000 v6 double din type of head unit. Do you happen to know where i can buy one like your head unit. Looks amazing bro... Please help me out.

Hey man would this fit a 06 Acura TSX (accord euro r) with dual climate control? I mean of the dash cause the connections are the same. But great video man!! Btw I saw Carti 😂

I just brought an radio just like this but have the single control AC , but its not working , how did you do yours?

How does the navigation work? Can google maps work offline or do you need to have it connected to your phone via hotspot?

First off I wanted to say awesome video man it is greatly appreciated! I just have a question I just bought this radio and installed it a few days ago and it did not have the separate green wire for the brake like yours on the harness. There was a green wire however it was already made into the connector and I can’t watch videos or KZfaq even with the car in park and the ebrake on what the fix?

Great video...I do some vids as well and know they take effort and time. Question: I did a test install of Roadanvi's version of this unit. My son's car has an unused white harness that used to plug into the stock unit...I assume this was for the steering wheel controls. What adapter/encoder did you use? The unit I bought did not come with one. One more Q: is there anyway to display on the screen what mode the HVAC is in (defrost, feet, face, etc)? The stock unit at least displayed this data. Appreciate it.

Where I can buy one of that stereo for my Honda Accord 2005 my gps not work I can use the system not ac not radio nothing please let me know thanks

Can you display your Android phone on the screen either wirelessly or using the usb cable? Also does it have a built in mic?

how did u set ur ac setting to make ur screan work with the AC unit? U wasn't clear on that.

Could you check if the head unit supports yt music and if you can download music with it please? Thanks a lot!

Not sure if you'll reply but I've read that the CANBUS decoder will automatically tell the unit to switch to reverse mode once the car is in reverse and the camera is connected to a 12v power source (in this case not the reverse light) can you confirm if this is in fact the case with this particular unit?

Does this have Apple CarPlay? Or do I have to purchase a separate dongle to go with this to use carpaly?

when I use my AC controls, my AC screen doesn’t pop up like yours does. Doesn’t showing me temperature, mode i’m pressing, anything

Is it compatible with Apple Carplay and Android Auto? If you are not connected to wifi with the radio what happens to all the apps you downloaded that need internet? (Waze, Spotify, etc.)

My keep saying don't watch video while driving and I'm not driving the car not fully on how do I fix that?

Can you put Spotify on it? Also, my car doesn't come with the left side controls on the steering but if I buy it and buy the cord for it, do you think they will work?

Hello, my AC function didn't work work at all and seciane had me change settings to generation 7 software. I have a 2003 Honda Accord dual zone system. Any ideas?

Could you please make a video on how to add the the backup camera

I also installed the xtrons in my car (Honda accord 2005), but with some different features than your Xtrons. I'm not able to get wifi signal and with that I can't access the GPS and other programs that need internet. Can you tell me something about the wifi signal? Thanks

So for sure you can download other apps like Amazon music, Apple Music?, Waze for navigation

I can't get the ac to work?? Can control fan speed thats it. HELP boight unit from walmart looks exact to this (physically) except format is diff. Ac worked with oem dash i gave up and put oem dash back in for ac lol

Do Maps work without WiFi? If I’m stranded out somewhere can I still search an address and start navigating to it?

Hi I can’t find AM radio , and there is doesn’t work for AM radio only FM is working , Can you show me why Am doesn’t work . Thanks

So if you play spotify off your phone while its connected via bluetooth what does the display look like?

Lastly my system don't fit in evenly into the space under the vents, like there is a gap between the top of the unit and the vent panel. Is there a trick or a kit I can buy to close the gap?

Aye soo how the stereo so far ? Do u highly recommend it? Looks nice how long u had it for now message back I’m thinking of buying it and installing

I have a dumb Q? So dual is when the passenger can adjust there side and I can adjust mine differently ?

How do I change from Celsius to Farienheight on AC

Just wanted to know if this radio will connect to a hot spot source for WiFi

Bro i need to know,this radio can be used in my car,Honda Inspire 2003 year (japan)??

Does it support diesel engines? I've been searching for this kind of stereos for my accord -06 but the ones that i found they don't support diesel engines.. I really don't know what the radio has to do with what fuel the engine goes.. Can someone pleasd explain that😂 great video btw👍🏼
