I have a question about the heated mirrors and wipers. After installing this radio, do I lose access to it? I can't see the physical buttons on the device, are they in the app?
Any latest update on this head unit? specifically looking for reviews on: 1) Lag, is it lagging after a year? 2) How is the audio sound? I saw reviews of other brands where the audio was subpar compared to the factory head unit. 3) Is it compatible with Android Auto and/or Carplay?
Honestly, even though it was plug and play there the wiring alone probably weight a couple of pounds. It would of been a nightmare if you had to splice anything.
Hey John great video! Thanks for the in depth walk-through on the wiring going to attempt this DIY myself. One question can you explain the reverse camera a bit more how are you powering it, rear wiring, etc?
The online sellers actually have a picture showing that your navigation model would not fit this specific unit. I do not know if they make another version to replace the navigation version.
Just curious, how well do you think the compatibility would be with my 2008 ISF? I have the same Navigation system as you but was looking to upgrade. How was the sound quality in conjunction with the Mark Levinson system? Also, which retailer did you buy the radio from? I saw you dropped a few different links.
I do have the same question. I really don't want to lose the Mark Levinson sound. Can you still make use of it? as far as i know Mark levinson handles 14 speakers. how about this?
Can anyone help. When I first set it up I had no sound but was working and I had to just keep playing with it and out of no where the sound kicked on. Now a week later the music is playing but no sound again no matter what I try
Mine has been fixed. Scan the car, know the exact airbag location causing the light to come on, unpluck the sickest of the airbag and plug it back in. This is what I did in mine and the light dissappeard.
Hey I’ve installed it and I’m having so problems. First one is my audio cuts out like I’ll be listing to music then it’ll stop playing then comeback on. Second my VSC and ABS lights are on. Third my hazard lights don’t work and when I lock/unlock my air the blinkers don’t go off.
Hi, I bought the same screen but the touch screen doesn't work for me to set the air conditioning and other things like the time. I don't know if you had any problems with this, do you know how to set it? thank you
@@JohnNguyenVincent Thank you! Has the unit ever crashed on you? And did you ever have to solder or use crimp connectors during install? I believe you mentioned everything just clicks into its respective slot, but I just wanted to make sure.
I read on some Amazon reviews that the 2gb ram version takes 30 seconds to boot up I believe is what they said while the 3gb is instantaneous, idk how true that 2gb ram version review may be though
@@TheKevinmcwill I had to change the canbus setting, in car settings, extra settings: password 123456, then canbus, and then I had to choose lexus is250 from there. then there was an app with every climate control
John! I love your work!! Me and my dad are literally obsessed with your videos. Keep up the good work!
I have the same dragon ballz nob on my is250 🔥

Where are the front and rear defroster buttons? I think they are important.
Just got the same car with this installed but I cant control air or ac, any suggestions?
Your tech guy is the man! nice detail
What color wire did you connect the back up camera to ?
Nice vid. Was yours an ML system? I just installed a unit that looks very similar to yours and am having an issue with my fans/ac & hazards. 😬
What about the defrosters?

Wiring looks pretty intimidating...

@@JohnNguyenVincent?
Does it work with the factory back up camera?
More information and where to buy in the description!
Hey John great video! Thanks for the in depth walk-through on the wiring going to attempt this DIY myself. One question can you explain the reverse camera a bit more how are you powering it, rear wiring, etc?
Also which camera did you end up using and how is it receiving power? Is it always on or only when in reverse?
Can you also install a rear view camera to it ?
yes
Was that the stock camera you were using?
How does the audio compare to factory head unit?
I have a 2010 Lexus IS250 with the navigation screen but the set up is slightly different from yours, would the Andriod headunit still work? 2:13 2:13
The online sellers actually have a picture showing that your navigation model would not fit this specific unit. I do not know if they make another version to replace the navigation version.
Great content, I need help installing my Hikiti Android screen.. The instructions are so vague 😢
How many connections from the car are not used. I was confused having stuff left over from the car that comnnects to nothing

3rd ask for this. 2008 ISF being bought and screen is first thing I’d want to replace
@@steve09daley won't work with Mark Levinson audio or a factory nav system.
Hi John , please I need some help. I get display from the cd but no sound.
Oem camera works?
My steering wheel control buttons snd other buttons aren’t and my climate controls don’t work in the app, they don’t let me turn it on etc
Would this work if you don’t have the nav screen from factory? Looks like the bottoms piece is the same
these units dont work for the 2010+ nav units unfortunately
Question, which wire gets sound to the cd player? I can see the display, but no sound.
How do u turn the hazards lights on mine not working once I put the screen in Is it something you got to go to on the screen?
Can anyone help. When I first set it up I had no sound but was working and I had to just keep playing with it and out of no where the sound kicked on. Now a week later the music is playing but no sound again no matter what I try
Factory reset the stereo
@@MarcopessoaFaceBook how

There is a more OEM looking android radio for this car. Did you see that one before deciding on this one?
There was a more vertical screen one but I still prefer physical buttons
what is it called when
What resolution and doesn’t have a mirror link?
After installing this, I got airbag light on on the dashboard
Did you ever fix it?
@@WolfAsh60 yes, it came back again
same problem too

Where do you live
does this work for lexus isf?
Do you have any problems with the climate control not working?
Yeah once, we unplugged it. Put the stock headunit on. Turn it on. Then put the aftermarket one back on and it works fine now
Is that headunit the same make as xtron, it looks exactly the same.... Just wondering.
the internals are different from brands
Hi, I bought the same screen but the touch screen doesn't work for me to set the air conditioning and other things like the time. I don't know if you had any problems with this, do you know how to set it? thank you
Yes me too
The link on Amazon says it won’t fit the 2IS with navigation and AC control. What does that mean?
that means it is incompatible....
Links not working
Hey John I was wondering if purchasing a Eunavi head unit for a mazda 3 would be a good idea
I haven't tried their headunits. Please let me know how it goes if you do get it installed !
@@JohnNguyenVincent sounds good, I'll be sure to let you know if I try it.
No defrost???
yeah, i noticed it loses some stuff
Is the screen made out of glass or plastic?
glass
@@JohnNguyenVincent Thank you! Has the unit ever crashed on you? And did you ever have to solder or use crimp connectors during install? I believe you mentioned everything just clicks into its respective slot, but I just wanted to make sure.
How is it now? still working well?
Hey bro How did you get the hazard button to work ?
it was weird, i had to unplug the android head unit. put the stock one, turn it off and on. and put back the android head unit one.
@@JohnNguyenVincent turn the hazards off and on ?
Whats the difference between the 2gb ram version and 3? Is it worth the extra ram?
I read on some Amazon reviews that the 2gb ram version takes 30 seconds to boot up I believe is what they said while the 3gb is instantaneous, idk how true that 2gb ram version review may be though
Wait so there’s no rear defroster ?
yeah these Chinese manufacturers need to step up their game and update this crap so we get all the standard features
How is this headunit holding up
My climate isnt working on the screen smh please help!
Did u ever figure it out? Mine is doing that after i installed it
Does rear fefrost work??? Or maintenance schedule for car?
Yes
Where’s the rear defrost/de-fog button located?
@@K.B.Richards let me know if you find out I need help also
@@TheKevinmcwill Sure. No problem. I won’t be able to install mine until the first week in January. But I’ll let you know when I find it.
@@TheKevinmcwill I had to change the canbus setting, in car settings, extra settings: password 123456, then canbus, and then I had to choose lexus is250 from there. then there was an app with every climate control
unfortunately it's a upgrade aesthetically but the sound is worst
