Great content, as always. Wondering if you're up to make some car USB mods/hacks. I guess everyone struggle with the original car USB connections that sometimes don't give us Fast charging and/or don't charge and connect to the head units at same time. Hope you accept this challenge 😊 Keep up the good work!

Thanks for these videos, they are great and very informative! I'm interested in putting this head unit in a 2017 Seat Alhambra. A few questions for you if you don't mind; 1. Do they ever update these units? ie. Android 13/14, etc? 2. Will this be able to integrate my existing rear parking camera and parking sensors? 3. Will it be able to use my existing DAB aerial? Thanks in advance for your inputs! Also, do you think it's worth paying for an install, or should I do it myself? I'm not totally useless on the tech front...

Hi, like your reviews a lot, watched your "best three brands" video and got my father in law a Joying 10.1" for his Mitsubishi ASX as a birthday present... but there is an issue... any chance you came across this and have an advice for us? ... he went to an official, authorized Mitsubishi service to get it installed... but the Airbag warning light (on the instrument cluster behind the wheel) was on... so they told him he can't use it and ended up putting the old one back... did you have this on a car before? any idea what to do? Thank you!

My thinking more towards the latter as then I can take the headunit to another vehicle if/when getting rud

Ultimately, they're the same because you'll be using the same CANbus decoders. Also in many cases, the vehicle specific ones are just a generic head unit in a car-specific facia, so you can remove it from that facia when you sell the car and get one for whatever the new car is

Which tuner IC does this unit use, and how to does it compare to the competition? And, of particular interest to me, how well does it support external amplifiers? For example, are there specific preamp outs and, if so, at what voltage? Thanks.

@SaabUnleashed4 ай бұрын
Atmos is additional channels of sound beyond the usual 5.1/7.1 to emulate excellent multidirectional audio, it's not a technology for cars. The best you can get for cars from a surround sound perspective is 5.1 channels, which is separate channels to front, rear, centre, and subwoofer, and those head units can decode DTS for real surround sound in movies ect. This head unit doesn't have a separate centre channel. Spartial audio is featured on many head units with their own flavours and this Xtrons is one of them. Lossless, technically yes as you are playing the music directly (Although there are limitations to the Android operating system), but to be honest if you are talking at audiophile levels of sound quality, I would suggest Joying
