it's not using the Carlinkit app? if that makes sense, i have the carlinkit usb box thing... carplay comes up really quick and what not, just have the radio station bleed through...:unsure::unsure::unsure:

Did a little research and constantly have no idea. I think you may have to install either Malay or Hal9k's mod to really fix this issue

After purchasing the above, I would download the apk that is found in the description for the dongle here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BR676VG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . If the app works, then you're all set to go. If it doesn't, you would have to find one that is compatible

I didn't even know something like this existed. I just love how the price on Amazon is from $30-$60 for the same exact item. Even the Carlink company has one for $40 and one for $60 and I can't find a difference other than the color of the dongle. I picked up the $40 black one because it is also 13% off right now. Can't wait to see how it works. I tried using the EasyConnection app previously and it was a PITA to get running properly and then it didn't connect reliably. Hopefully a dongle will be easier and more reliable.

I recently installed an android unit (10 inch) into my 2018 XLE, I'm having issues with the radio app bleeding through to the carplay app, for instance when i try to use SIRI to find music it does not recognize anything, or use Siri to send a text, I end up with random words and stuff from the radio in my text. Also, if i disconnect bluetooth and run phone calls through carplay alone, the person on the other end cannot hear me but can hear the radio playing on their end... now before you tell me to force close the radio app itself, i've done this....... not sure where to go from here... i've googled the crap out of this and found nothing.

any ideas?

Did you try uninstalling the radio app? I'm wondering how the radio app is still even working after a force close. That's odd.

Installed a Joying 10.1" Android 10 Head Unit (JY-TQ153N4G) in my 2015 Rav4. Saved over $30 buying on AliExpress versus the Joying website. Good communications and quick shipping. After reading this thread and watching a lot of YouTube videos, it went flawlessly. Gorgeous screen, with quick response time, all steering wheel controls, and built in Android Auto (and Carplay). The 5 GHz WiFi works great! I am pleasantly surprised at the sigificant improvement in the sound quality. That's a bonus!


I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for their contributions. I used the adapters mentioned in earlier posts to make use of the existing XM Antenna for GPS, and the signal is strong. I will not be using the Sim card option right now, so I ran the 4G antennas and Sim card reader into the glovebox. One tip I can contribute, bicycle tire levers work great to cleanly and easily pry off panels and vents. Also don't forget to salvage the yellow clips for use on the head unit.

What extra attachments did you need to buy to get it working with all the OEM stuff? How much did it all come out to?

Everything was part of the package, including all harnesses and connectors, and a pre-wired and configured canbus module, that worked without adjustment on the steering wheel controls and provides car data to the screen. There is a winter sale at AliExpress, and the Rav4 package ran me $339, including fast and free DHL shipping from China. The only extras I bought were the adapters for the XM antenna, to avoid having to run the included GPS antenna, and an extension cable, based on where I chose to locate the external microphone.

Nice, got a link to the one you bought? Any idea if it will work find on hybrid model? I know a lot of guys with the hybrids have been reluctant to swap out radio due to losing the 'energy' information thats built into the OEM unit for hybrids.

You would just need to find a model that supports that. It's really just the canbus that draws that information to display, so you can ask the sellers on whatever site if they have one that supports the hybrid models

Did you ever find a model that supports the hybrid energy information?

Also, are there adapters to use the built-in microphone in the car?

Hi all. Not sure if it’s known or already in the thread, but this “Sygav” 10in px5 4gb ram headunit is really just a rebranded Dasaita (Hot-audio) unit! There’s a huge forum thread over at XDA for dasaita units including all the recent firmware updates and fixes.

I actually put together two YouTube videos for a unboxing and full installation in my 2017 RAV4. Hopefully they’ll help:



I’ll be making additional videos soon covering rooting the headunit on Android 8.0 as well as firmware updates!

Hey misterkoll!

Is there any way to access your installation videos? I've seen it referenced in this forum a few times and want to check it out but they're listed as private now. Thanks for all your help!

It's the same way you would do it on any device. Select and long press, it will set the preset you want.

Anyone tries to retain the factory rear camera I just tried with an non branded android HU they identify this HU as Alps YT9216B , it comes with a canbus and retain pretty much everything but the reverse camera. I can make it work manually but if I try shifting the gear to reverse it won't display or switch the screen to the rear camera, in short words it is there working but not switching directly

Just found a installation video recored by a Taiwanese and the steps are simple and clear, never mind the language (Youtube can translate the subtitle). I have one question: He said the screws that used to fix the factory head unit are no longer needed, so the new head unit is fixed by clips only? I am worry that it might start to have noise after a period of time. Thank you.

With so many alternatives, Teyes CC3, Dasaita Max 10, Dasaita Vivid 11, Sygav and other tens of cheaper clones, I have a question about these Android devices. Did someone install one of these on a RAV4 with JBL audio system? From what I read, all of them have 4x audio outputs. My 2018 Hybrid with JBL audio system has 2x dash speakers, 4x doors speakers, 1x subwoofer in the trunk, so there are 7 outputs required. Are you still happy with this upgrade on your cars? Or after a while the the excitement fades away and the integration problems doesn't compensate enough for the new features that are not 100% complete?
