Fantastic in depth installation video, I have my eye on one of these units but I think I might look for an installer for my car. Well done and thank you

Thank you so much for putting this all this together. Do you have any more information on how the stock reverse camera connects to the android head unit? I am trying to figure out which wires need to be converted from the stock connector to an standard yellow video connector and which wire triggers the reverse camera to activate. Many thanks.

@AutosNGizmos 11 ай бұрын

Hi Peter, the wiring harness that came with it hooks up to the OEM reverse camera so there’s not much fiddling I need to do get the reverse camera to display the video on the headunit. Does your CRV come with a OEM reverse camera or are you installing one yourself?

@RationalCreed 9 ай бұрын

Great video. Did the factory reverse camera work with supplied connectors?

Yes it does, plug and play.

I just got the latest Joying Head Unit with Android 12, have the same Aussie CRV Head Unit as in this video, and also got the wiring harness (B cable option) that had mis-matching sockets, and missing sockets marked 1,2,3 & 7 as marked in your diagram. My Cambus also does not pickup any data (doors open, lights on, steering wheel controls.) Joying have been quite responsive, so hopefully I'll get a replacement harness. I like what you did with separating the screen from the unit when mounting, I think I'll do the same. Glad I found your video.

Hi Blis, Im glad you find this video helpful. And yes, I fond their support staff really helpful and responsive. How did you go fitting the hazard light? Im curious if you had a hard time like I did…

@Blisoft 8 ай бұрын

@@AutosNGizmos I had no problem as I have the 10.1" screen version and the hazard button does not protrude into the dash cavity. Also, I removed the OEM GPS and mag mounted the joying gps in its place. The magnet seems strong enough to hold it in place.

Hi Blisoft, did you get this resolved? If so would you mind sharing which canbus model/harness they sent you and the CAN setting you used pls? I too have the same Aussie CRV head unit but replaced it with a different Android unit to the Joying. The harness they sent me has connections for all the OEM cables (except GPS as it has its own), but for the life of me I cant get the steering wheel controls to work. The seller is investigating but everything they've suggested so far hasn't worked. Thanks

@Blisoft 7 ай бұрын

@@WeaponAU Joying sent me the same harness shown in this video, which has a Raise decoder marked "12-14 CRV (Malaysia)". Oddly enough when I first powered the unit up after connection, still with the "Simple" decoder settings still set from the previous harness, the SWCs (i.e. Vol -) worked for a few seconds, then stopped. Despite changing the setting to "Raise -12 Crv/Civic" as instructed, the SWCs have not worked since. Also doesn't recognise doors opening. Joying have yet to find a solution and have gone quiet.

for the apple car play/android auto do you need to have a usb connection? or does it work over bluetooth?

@AutosNGizmos 11 ай бұрын

Hi Stephanie, firstly thanks for watching my video. With regard to your question, I can confirm both wired and wireless Apple Carplay work with this headunit and it also support Bluetooth audio. So if you are an Apple iPhone user, you can either plug it in the USB, or use wireless Apple Carplay. And with Apple Carplay, it uses both Bluetooth and Wireless to stream audio and content to the headunit. There is an initial setup and handshake that happens but once setup, it works seamlessly. Unfortunately, I dont own any Android phones so Im unable to verify if and how Android Auto works on the headunit. And since filming this video, I noticed the seller has discontinued the 8-inch models. Its a shame since I liked having buttons on either side of the screen as it make it look symmetrical. I also had a look at Joying’s 9-inch models and it stated in the specs that it support wireless on both Carplay and Android Auto. However, I’d encourage you to directly contact the seller to confirm the details. I hope this was helpful and be sure to check back in here if you have any further questions or comments. Good luck on your project!

Thanks for the video. I did the instalation and my stearing wheel control does not work. Also parking camera only works on top monitor (not on main unit) Any advise? TIA

@AutosNGizmos 3 ай бұрын

Hi Jonas, with regards to the reverse camera: 1) if the headunit does not automatically switch to show the reverse camera video input, then a potential source if issue there could be that headunit has an incorrect Canbus setting in the BIOS. Have a look at the BIOS settings page and look for something like “CAN Type” setting. 2) With regards to the steering wheel buttons, I also encountered the same issue. I was communicating with the seller about this and they provided me with another wiring harness which didn’t work either. And since this is a friend’s car and they are not bothered by that issue, it was a bit difficult to troubleshoot it. So I would suggest that you reach out to the seller and explain to them the issue you have with the steering wheel buttons not working. I hope this is helpful. Cheers! 😊

nice video :) are these radios work with the 2016 facelift ? are the original usb ports work with the radio ?

@AutosNGizmos Жыл бұрын

Hi Legend, Sorry I’m not sure if this Android system will be fully compatible with the 2016 facelift so you might need to check that with the seller to be sure. With regards to the USB ports, yes it worked after the install and I can use for charging and Carplay/Android Auto. There is a special cable which you can see in timecode 2:48

If the main display and the small displays are the same this mine, then chances are this might also be compatible with yours. But best check with the seller for compatibility before purchase. I had issues with the steering wheel control which seller has provided an updated wiring harness for free.
