 (After installing)

Joying product: JY-UL135N2:

When our customer place order, we have two suggestions:

1. Purchase harness and adapter from third-part, such as PAC, AXXESS.

2. Purchase Joying Civic harness and can-bus decoder, but requires to modify the mainboard.

This customer decides to use our harness and modify mainboard by himself.

Joying Civic harness with can-bus decoder:

Modify Mainboard

Before:

After: 

Problems after installation:

1. No audio

2. Steering wheel control doesn't work

So he conatct us again. We suggest to change can-bus protocol in the CarMediaSettings.

Feedback:
I finally have success with this system. Before I changed the canbus settings I went ahead and converted the bare wire to RCA connectors. and I had to move one pin on the harness that wasn't utilized so that I could have power going to the amplifier. After that I connected the unit and changed the settings and everything worked wonderfully. I wanted to thank the engineers for their help and Bella for all your help with this equipment. I can supply some photos as I did snap a few.


Here are installation notes from car owner:

This first part I removed the ground wire to supply the remote turn on circuit for the stock amplifier. This wire gets moved to the other side of the pink wire shown here.

I then cut the cable and connected the orange and black cable to that black cable. After I did that I started cutting the main output connectors from the harness that connects to the radio itself. These I connected to RCA’s to create the low line level out from the radio that the amplifier required. For this I used these RCA adapters.

I then followed these instructions for creating the RCA cable connections with my soldering iron.

https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-convert-speaker-wires-to-rca-plugs

After that I connected everything to my car and the speakers started to work. This was great news as I didn’t receive any audio before. The canbus settings I changed to Honda Canbus working on the XP(2012) version. Once I did this the unit realized there was and MCU update and proceeded with the update and after that everything worked. My steering wheel controls for volume and the left and right buttons and source all work. The Bluetooth buttons have yet to work but I haven’t really tried to get them to work yet. The only issue I am running into now is trying to get the rear view camera to display on the headunit and eventually getting the subwoofer connector powered on for the subwoofer in the back.

Joying head unit can't start once installed--RESOLVED

Joseph purchased JY-UL135 Joying Android 5.1 lollipop double din head unit from us.

         

Here are some problems occurred when installing.
He said he already have a Metra harness from a previous installation, and his truck is a 2004 Ford Excursion Limited.

This item is universal style and comes with ISO harness, I'm worried Joseph will have questions about the connection, so I send him a instruction.

He has problem when connect the backup camera and steering wheel control, but he solved them after read the instruction I sent.

Finally,  Joseph got everything working. 
However, the head unit can't start.  It said android shutting down and then the unit will not power on.

Joseph told me that he has checked all connections and all fuses.

We can't make sure the cause of it, and ask Joseph help us check and test the unit, we need to know if there is any issue on our products.

Easily solve if you get an exclamation mark when start Joying head unit

Problems from Joying customers:

1. The screen only shows an exclamation mark
in a yellow diamond whenever it's plugged in.  I spent hours trying to fix
it, but the radio plug appears to have a missing part to it, and the
exclamation mark won't go away even after multiple tries of reboots and
resets.

2. When I put my car in reverse there is an exclamation point instead of the image.  Can you help?

Analysis of causes: Connection error

As the images above, when the "back" wire was applied to the power, you can see an exclamation point in screen, and it will be normal when you disconnect power.

Solution:

1. The "BACK" wire is used for connecting triggering wire of backup camera. 

     

More detailed info, please read this blog:  https://www.carjoying.com/Joying-blog/7.html

2. If your car has can-bus system, please disconnect the "BACK" wire.

Because the can-bus will decode the reversing image to Joying head unit. (You need to buy a proper can-bus decoder for your car)

Please find the "BACK" wire in the harness, it is an Orange wire. (Not orange+white or orange+black)

Please the "BACK" wire

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.

How to Choose a Suitable Universal Double Din Head Unit----Joying

Thanks for your attention to Joying!
My topic today is "how to choose a suitable universal double din head unit on Joying".

First, please measure and confirm how much space do you have to install the aftermarket head unit.  
For example, we have different sizes of universal model: 178*100mm, 178*102mm.
You need to confirm that you have suitable space to install it. Maybe, you need to buy a dash kit
for your car. If so, you have to pay attention to the interior size of the dash kit, it should be 178*100mm or 178*102mm. Sometimes, the head unit is a little big for dash kit. Don't worry, please watch a video about how to modify dash kit.

Our universal models come with ISO harness, as show below:

You should know, ISO harness is not special harness for your car. You can purchase Joying harness or ISO harness adapter for your car.
If you want to know more about the connection, please read this blog.

ISO car radio harness adapter:

           

We also have a latest model, 10.1" HD Screen, it has less restrictions of installation size.

If you are interested in this product, you can purchase it on carjoying.com or Amazon.com

Note: JOYING all android head unit doesn't support original Bluetooth, rear view camera and GPS antenna.

And if your car needs can-bus and it has factory amplifier, please contact us in advance.
Again let me remind my friends, if your car needs can-bus and it has factory amplifier, please contact us in advance.

Have a great day.

Below is the copy of review:
OK, so I've had the unit running in my car for a week, and time to review this sucker! I LOVE IT! The screen is huge! Just know going in, that this thing looks like a tablet, stuck in front of your radio opening! This is not an OEM style head unit, which was fine with me.

First let me point out that I bought this for my personal car, a 2013 VW Jetta with the Fender sound system. I didn't realize at the time I purchased it, that the Fender system's amp was turned on and off by the Can-Bus. When I tried to install this head unit, it did not power the amp so I had no sound with my speakers. I sent CarJoying a message through Amazon, and they quickly replied with a solution, a new Can-Bus adapter that they would have to ship from China. I did have to pay $42 for it, but I received it in 3 days. Cudos CarJoying

While I was waiting, I installed the unit in my work vehicle, also a 2013 VW Jetta, but with the standard stock sound system. It worked perfectly in it without any issues. I ran the unit with the stock ROM for 2 days. It works just fine with the stock rom, the only quirk I seemed to have was the radio presets would disappear every time the unit rebooted. After reading on XDA, I found out this plagues almost every brand of these kind of head units, and installing a different ROM would fix the issue. So I went ahead and installed a custom ROM on it, and sure enough my radio issue was fixed, plus I was able to tweak a lot of other things with Xposed Frameworks (read up on it if you don't know what I'm talking about).

Search for "10.1 CarJoying" on YouTube, and you will see plenty of videos of this Unit in action. It works exactly like those videos. It is basically a tablet for your car. The included iGO maps is fine if you don't have an internet connection available while you drive, but I use a FreedomPop hotspot in my car, and use Google Maps for my navigation. In the setup, you can make your GPS button launch any app you'd like, so I have it set to Google Maps.

The reverse camera works anytime the car is running, even while the unit is booting up so there are no worries there. Also, if you shut the car off with the radio playing, the radio will start playing as soon as you start your car up again, while the unit is booting. Boot time is about 30 seconds, and you can set the unit to go into standby for up to 2 hours before it completely powers off. Meaning if you just stop somewhere real quick, and jump back in the car before that time has expired, the unit will immediately turn back on, without having to boot up.

Once I got the new can-bus adapter, I swapped the unit over to my personal car, and it worked perfectly in it as well. The sound quality is FAR better than the stock unit in both of my cars, and it really makes the "Fender" system come alive.

All-in-all, I have been AMAZED by this $400 head unit. You can easily pay 3 times as much for a premium name brand unit that can't do half of what this thing can do. Pretty much all Android apps run perfect on this unit, and if you decide to install a custom ROM, the partition gets changed from 1GB to 2GB for app storage, which is plenty for the needs of a vehicle! The quad-core processor is very snappy, and it breezes through apps and multitasking just fine.

My only gripe is with the screen glare! This screen is very shiny, just like your phone. The sun glare is pretty bad on it during the daytime, so I will be installing an anti-glare screen protector on it to try and alleviate some of that issue.

I like this unit so much, that I can't be without it now. I will be getting their 8" OEM style head unit now to put in my work vehicle. Their are cheaper alternatives out their, but you can't beat CarJoying's support! I'm a very happy customer!


       

Replaced my WinCE HU with Android

Welcome to Visit Our Store: Amazon.com and carjoying


Product Review from Joying Customer:
Great product, excellent customer service. After having a WinCE {so appropriately named! ;) } 6x HU (which would play only about 5% - 10% of my mp3 music) for 2 years, I have replaced it with one of these units. Although boot up takes a little longer (approximately 30 - 40 secs), it's more than worth it. I connected a 1 TB micro drive (via one of the two USB extension cables) filled with mp3 and video files, and it has played everything I've tried.

After a few weeks of use, I tried to trim the lcd display panel bevel to better fit my dash trim plate in my '09 Scion xB, and the touch control cable was inadvertently severed, and I contacted them to request a replacement panel, which they sent me. Then due to quirks with the internal connectors and the touch control cable not making a good connection, I thought that the trouble was probably with the new LCD panel, I again had to contact them, and was given a domestic service address where someone could check it. I was very regretful of my bad judgment, but very appreciative of their willingness to stand behind their product.

The screen is higher resolution (1024) than the old HU with 800, and it makes a very noticeable difference, especially with the backup camera.

Easily rooted if you're a geek and want to put on some app requiring that privilege. I may decide to add an external CD / DVD reader, which would connect via the other USB cable, but with the hard disk, I don't think that I'll miss CD's.

I do wish that it had a screen icon to turn off the display backlight for night time use, though. The apps I've tried installing have not been effective, even with root access.

Overall, it's great to have this addition to my car, and I highly recommend these people.

Real Review for Joying JY-TQ123

Brand: Joying

I purchased this receiver because I have a Toyota and I wanted a head unit which properly fit the over sized 2din opening Toyota uses. I have to say it fits great and the flat black finish matches the dash perfectly. It looks just like a factory radio. A nice bonus is no complicated wiring. Toyota plugs on the unit make it an easy install. There is no need to cut into the factory harness. I did have a small fit issue where the radio extended about 1/8" too far forward and the Toyota cover trim piece would not go back all the way. I have informed Joying of this issue. The remedy was to just slot the stock mounting bracket a little. One important point is get the correct radio for your vehicle. It will make life a lot easier. Joying makes many models.

I think there is a lot of bang for the buck here. The GPS works great. The unit is very responsive with the quad core processor and the display is sharp and clear. Only when the sun falls on directly on it does the display get washed out. I think this will happen with almost all displays though.

I have a backup camera installed and like others have said it works right away as soon as the shift lever hits R. I also installed a front camera and it is selected with the A/V button.

On the audio side, I have heard the hiss others have mentioned. I think it is bluetooth interference occasionally. This unit works much better when playing music off the micro sd card. When you start car and unit initializes music starts playing where it left off. When I used my iphone with it I had to wait for pairing then hit bluetooth button and then push play button. The sound seems cleaner without bluetooth involved.

The phone functions work fine. Calls are clear and people have no trouble hearing me. I have been using it about 4 weeks now and nothing has happened that makes me regret getting it. Should that change I would gladly edit my review and say so in detail.

Overall I think it's a good value for a little over $300. Is it perfect, no of course not. It is not an $800 radio either. I am glad to have saved some cash to upgrade the old factory speakers.
