The UI is Responsive and Snappy and My Steering Wheel Controls worked right

Greetings from Joying Team
First, I want to give Joying Customer some advice:
If you want to keep the buttons lights on, you can open settings>factory setting>126>other>key light, and checked the "key light", or you can read this blog about button lights work on Joying Head Unit.


Review:
The shipping was incredibly fast; it arrived much sooner than the estimated arrival date.

In my 2010 CC installation only took a couple of minutes, but with the wiring adapter, it's a pretty tight fit. Don't expect to just slide the unit into place and be done. You'll have to tuck everything in to get it to fit properly.

And while this is noted on your packaging, if you don't intend to use a backup camera, cut the yellow wire before you finish the installation. I forgot and now the screen goes black and mutes when in reverse. There are user settings you can change to correct this, but you're better off cutting the wire like it says.

Once installed, it looks great -- looks OEM rather than aftermarket.

The UI is responsive and snappy and my steering wheel controls worked right out of the box. I haven't been able to get the mirroring to work with my iPhone 6, and the unit doesn't always connect to my mobile hotspot right away, but it's really not a huge deal. Just about anything I need to fiddle with can be taken care of while the car is warming up.

Familiarize yourself with the settings, customization, etc... trying to find/ settings while driving is incredibly frustrating and kind of dangerous.

My one complaint is that there is a light buzzing when the DLR/lights are on. If I turn them completely off it goes away, but it's faint enough that you only hear it when nothing is playing and you're sitting still, so again, not a huge deal, but annoying nonetheless.

Joying Universal Double Din Car Stereo Installed in 2008 Toyota Tacoma

Thank you for Support Joying

I have only used this radio for a couple of weeks now but so far I really love it. I installed it in a 2008 Toyota Tacoma and there was plenty of room and the install was fairly easy. The wires were labeled and the colors were standard so splicing to my connector harness was simple. I bought it for the navigation and DVR/dashcam but it comes with many other inputs. It beats the hell out of $700 dollar plus units that only offer navigation capable units that you have to also buy an additional antenna for. This outfit comes with the antenna and a few other goodies. It has video input for adding a Video player (this model doesn’t have DVD slot) but I don’t need that and I don’t play CDs so Its not needed in my case. It has a very good backup camera with a wide view and very good visibility day or night. The radio reception is nice and clear even on my weakest stations. Technical support response is fairly quick and easy to follow. The youtube videos are a little hard to understand because of the Chinese accent of the guy in the video but if you watch a couple of times you can start to understand him a little easier.
