I wish the product page had a model number or something like that so we could look at additional reviews for other vehicles and things of that nature. Would also be great to see if this thing had some action on XDA. One plus with some of the more popular Chinese units (like Dasaita) is the custom ROM scene on XDA. Also makes it so you can get upgrades to newer Android versions if the manufacturer (which I'm not sure we even know on this unit) stops/never gives updates.
Nevertheless, please do follow up with your thoughts if you pull the trigger and install!

According to the pics of the CPU info this is an FYT head unit and there is a section on XDA for these units. This thread has a ton of helpful information. There appears to be some mods you can install and apparently the roms might be universal between all FYT units. If you click on the link @kkfree00 provided for the seller you can go to their store and check the reviews for this unit and some others that they sell. The seller was quick to reply with some questions I had this morning so that's a plus. I tried installing two custom PX6 roms on my Dasaita unit and both of them had the colors inverted or something and no one in the threads on XDA could tell me how to fix it so I just went back to the stock rom. After the issues I had with Dasaita I won't recommend them to anyone. I will definitely follow up if I do purchase this unit or with whatever unit I do purchase.

Edit: I'm now looking at this unit. There's some threads on XDA about the Navifly unit so at least it has a name brand associated to it. Looks exactly the same as the unit kkfree00 purchased but $40+ dollars cheaper.
 
Thanks so much for the pics! One more question before I pull the trigger on this unit... Have you installed any other launchers from the Play Store and do they work fine? Launchers such as AGAMA, FCC or Nova Launcher?
Also, I did the front speaker upgrade with JBL 3.5" and for $50 it was worth it.
I just installed Agama. Is working fine.

Are any of this units support wireless android auto?
I own 2020 RAV4 hybrid almost 2 years now.
So maybe in about a year would want to swap the stock HU to something a Little bigger and with wireless AA.

Thank you guys for your answers , i just have 1 question left before ordering that , it would be great if you can help me
My car has Toyota connect feature and i can start engine remotely with key fob or using Toyota app to start it as well, it shows DCM signals on the top right of stock head unit , i Couldn’t find any information about these on seller page ,
i want make sure changing head unit doesn’t effect on these features and i can keep using remote engine start , what do you think?

My car doesn't have Toyota connect, so I don't know it still work or not. Hope someone can help you.
 
Thanks. I will check for it.
I got mine around 2 weeks, the seller sent it by DHL express.
So my head unit finally got delivered today. Very easy to install and looks great. Just transfer a few mounting clips from the factory head unit, plug in the wires and it powered right up. One issue I'm having is my vehicle is now showing KMH instead of MPH. When I try to change to MPH through the vehicle settings it just sets right back to KMH. I can't find a setting to change it on the head unit. Did you have this issue with yours and if so how do I change it? I sent a message to the seller but figured I'd check with you also. I'm thinking maybe the canbus is set incorrectly because when I look at your About Device screenshots everything is the same except the System Info which is dated 1-20-2022 and I have 6gb 128gb model. Could you by chance post a picture of your canbus settings so I can see what yours is set to?

The seller replied and said I would have to wait until they can go back into the office to send me a video on how to update to mph. Due to covid they are working from home. If I wait for that I won't be able to return if I they don't have a fix for me.

Thanks again for the pics! The 2nd pic was exactly what I was looking for and mine was set the same. My problem was that my speedometer and odometer on the actual vehicle display was showing km instead of mph and I could not get it to stay at mph when I changed it in the rav4 setting. I disconnected the canbus box from the android stereo and was able to change to mph and it has so far stuck. Hopefully it was just a glitch and not an ongoing issue. Now that I got that ironed out I'll setup my apps and see how it goes. One thing I did notice is that the rear cross traffic backup alert beep doesn't work. Kinda sucks but not that big of a deal.

My car rear cross traffic backup alert is working fine. I believe is canbus box problem. Maybe you can ask the seller anyway to update canbus fireware?

Yeah it's looking like I should of purchased from your seller. I have the same canbus box so like u said it may need an update or there's a setting I don't have turned on. The seller said they go back to the office on the 22nd so hopefully they are more helpful then.
 
Lunar Mist, does the head unit for the 2021 Prime have a better resolution than the RAV4 base 7inch screen.
Any insight if a head unit from a 2021 Prime, AVH-3908, Part No. 86140-42720, would be compatible with a 2019 XLE ?
I don’t know, it is a unit being sold on eBay. Looking for a solution to have both CarPlay and Android Auto without going to the aftermarket offerings.

I think I'm looking at the same eBay listing as you are. I just pulled my radio to take a look at the back. I have a 2021 XLE Hybrid and its radio model is 86140-0R350. It's got the 4 connectors along the bottom and 1 on the side, but it also has 3 connectors in the middle--a larger white one, a gray one, and a blue one. This one pulled out of the prime only has the gray one. Does anyone know what those connectors do, and what would happen if I used it without whatever the white and blue plugs connect to?
