Install Joying 9" Android 10 head unit with backup camera

How about some pictures to make it easier for us to visualize the question?

 

Wouldn't SAT be for Sirius/XM "satellite radio?" (Doesn't actually work without a subscription.)

 

I am thinking about this Radio.

Just Wondering if the factory Backup Camera work or did you install the camera that you bought from Joying
AHD Reverse Camera + $23.00

just Curious to know, my prius is 2014 Four with JBL Thanks

 

I have a 2010 Prius and I installed a android head unit using my jbl stock system also I was able to use my factory reverse camera without cutting my cables.

 

What Android head unit did you install?

 

I went with seicane and I love it. It has built in CarPlay Netflix YouTube ect.

 

I have a similar head unit and cutting is unnecessary. The key are as follows

- Original Prius radio bracket (remove from original radio and install in car) prevents the andriod HU from sinking down. HU not attached to the bracket but HU width is same as double din its included bezel will sit on original radio bracket.

- Install the start button cover plate. This goes over the loop cut out in this post

- Then install the cover with km/mi and clock buttons. Need to fiddle around a little but this trim snapped together (not completely firm) with the HU bezel sandwiching the start button cover.

 

I looked at the seicane Web site, and their model-year selector jumps from 2013 to 2016. Strange.

 

Mine says 2009 to 2013 but I absolutely love mines and it sounds amazing but then again I got the jbl system and I upgraded my dash speakers and added a subwoofer that sits inside the spare tire and wow amazing.

 

I also put in a Joying and found the audio quality to be extremely lacking. The volume is much too low. Do you know what the new firmware changed to improve it? Like is the output power increased somehow?

 

Poster you quoted has a factory JBL system. Pretty sure firmware was to properly use the amp. I have a different unit I have an external canbus adapter. There is a menu option on my HU to use factory amp
Do you have the jbl system? Contact your vendor. You might need a canbus adapter, new firmware or new cable

 

A couple of things about the Joying and the factory JBL system: It doesn’t really work together, at least mine didn’t. Initially, I thought the problem was a lack of communication between the Joying and the JBL DSP/Amp, since all sound is processed in the amp and the Joying can’t really speak that language. Well it turns out this isn’t entirely correct. Out of desperation, I replaced the factory amp with a different 45w/channel amp and it was still too quiet! Almost the same as the factory.

I began to suspect that the voltage was too low on the Joying’s line level RCA outputs so I changed to the speaker level output, since my new amp accepted them. Boom. Problem solved. Sounds great now.

If anyone is reading this and wants to use the Joying (or probably most any Chinese Android HU) with the factory JBL amp, you’ll need to get a “line driver”, like the AudioControl LC1i, or something similar to increase the line output voltage. The Joying DAC just sucks.
