Great video!! I installed a similar android unit recently in my 2016 EX-L and the top screen only shows in km. Any idea how I can change those units on the Imid screen to mpg? Thanks in advance!!
The TFT driver that connects to the top screen is programmed and cant be changed. it appears that dasaita has different TFT drivers for different countries/measurements. You would need to contact Dasaita to see if they have a box that can display what you are asking as the box that came with the unit did the same thing until it failed and dasaita sent us a replacement which corrected the issue with both the screen not working and showing MPG values for the USA.
Great review. 3 questions. 1. How tall is the lip up top since you mentioned that its preventing the clear view of the top display. 2. I have a V6EXL Coupe and the bottom panel where the Dasaita is installed is actually a touch screen in my car. I can change the way the camera the camera view looks on the top screen (angle and such) when in reverse via a button on the low touch screen. Is that somehow possible with the Dasaita? 3. Can I leave the top display on the trip view or will it reverse to the 00:00 every time you get into the car and start it. Basically do I have to manually set it to the trip screen again every time I get into the car?
1. I would say it’s about a inch. I can still see the screen but it cover about an inch from the bottom. 2. I’m not sure. 3. It will not reset the trip view. It only does it for the time.
I noticed your dashboard had a check charge system message, is that a result of the radio install or is something else causing it? also, you mentioned the vehicle settings not working for your car, so if you change them (door locks for example), nothing happens?
The check charging system light is on due to the alternator being a remanufactured component that’s not original Honda. It still charges. The additional options that I tried to demonstrate didn’t display any other options. Just stayed at the same setting.
When you connect your phone via Bluetooth and use Waze on your phone will it automatically reflect on the screen for the set navigation? Are you required to be WiFi tethered to your phone for full functionality?
If you connect via Bluetooth and just use Bluetooth then it will only do audio. The hotspot would be needed if you want to use the android part of the radio for apps that require network connectivity. If you pair it via CarPlay or android auto it mirrors your screen in a sense and the internet connection is used from your phone without activating the hotspot.
Thanks for the vid, answered a lot of my questions! Could you clarify that i wouldn't need a hotspot or built in LTE card as long as i only use carplay/Android Auto right?
I purchased this unit after watching your review and installation videos, and I installed it yesterday. I love it, but I have no audio at all. My install was a little different from yours because I had a touch screen (2017 Accord EXL coupe). I ordered the appropriate model for that. Everything else works beautifully, but the audio. Any ideas?
I resolved this problem by disconnecting one of the cables -- a single blue cable. I found a thread on Dasaita's website where someone had a similar issue. It took me a long time to find. My G13 unit works beautifully with no delays or other issues. It's a major improvement over my car's OEM CarPlay.
Hey how are you? Do you have any issues with the radio like turn off by it self the little lights from the radio are bright but the screen it still dark
I would check the wiring to see if its loose in the back of the radio, but if you have had this less than a year it should be under warranty. The only issue we had with the radio so far has been the top screen stopped working one day and Dasaita sent us a new TFT Driver box after we diagnosed the box being bad.
Can you still use wired CarPlay? I really don’t mind the tethered CarPlay. Really considering purchasing this unit. I think the entertainment system is the only this I kinda wish car makers offered post sale upgrades to.
The specifications for the G12 unit states that only wireless is available for CarPlay, based off a forum post on Dasaita’s website indicates that the SOC from Qualcomm doesn’t support it for some reason. If I do find a work around I will post a video. Otherwise the vivid 11 that runs Android 11 and has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage will allow both wired and wireless.
Hi, my top screen went out and i have the buttons where your touch screen is. i was wondering if you know if i replace the button radio with a touch screen, will i have access to everything that was on the top screen?
Sounds like you have the original radio in the car. Might possibly need to replace the radio. I would disconnect the battery and reconnect to see if it resets anything. If that doesn’t work then you will want to replace the radio. If you want the top screen to work this radio will allow that. It just won’t be everything like the original.
I will need to play around with it to see if it makes a difference but I don’t think it has anything to do with gain but more volume from the head unit itself.
I’ve seen instances of delayed audio and such for CarPlay units resulting in the apple maps being also delayed, with the maps gradually falling further and further behind where your actual location is. Is this the case also for this unit?
I'm not sure. You may want to reach out to Dasaita. They could chat with you. www.dasaita.com/products/dasaita-android13-car-stereo-for-honda-accord-2013-2017-wireless-carplay-android-auto-car-radio-qualcomm-665-10-2-qled-screen-wifi-4g-lte-8g-256g-dts-gps-navigation-head-unit-optical-output
Installed today and the reverse camera is not coming on automatically. I cannplug the camera into the av input and see it, but it wont detect it when its set up as it should be. Hopefully customer service helps me out.

No Worries, If you are using Carplay or Android Auto the data is used from your phone so you would not need to enable the hotspot.
How can I use the micro button on my steering wheel to turn jt on and off.. I have a Honda accord 2017

Thank you for the heads up.
I've got a 2016 and there's an audio delay using the built in bluetooth. I'll check back when I install this weekend if that delay gets worse
Yep, I have the same issue. Let me know if you are able to fix it.
Any updates?
Man. I hate that delay on the audio play but hopefully auto CarPlay doesn’t freeze
Yes, the delay can be annoying when watching a video. I have learned to live with it. The CarPlay works great. It's responsive and smooth.
Do you have to wait the 30+ seconds of boot-up to get the back-up camera?
You don’t. Even if the unit is booting up it will still launch the rear view camera when in reverse.
How do you get a sim card to work on these devices? Do you have to activate a tablet line, phone line, or what exactly?
You need a data line, could be for a tablet. Just let your carrier know you need a line with data and a full size SIM card.
Hey how are you? Do you have any issues with the radio like turn off by it self the little lights from the radio are bright but the screen it still dark
I have not had that issue. My radio works fine. Screen does not go dark.
@@MobileCarMechanic oh ok I’m just starting have the issue yesterday and I’m have no clue what happened, do you have any tips about it
I would check the wiring to see if its loose in the back of the radio, but if you have had this less than a year it should be under warranty.

Yes I had a problem with the mic exactly what you said that you sound far but can you fix that on the factory setting under voice?
I will need to play around with it to see if it makes a difference but I don’t think it has anything to do with gain but more volume from the head unit itself.
How do I turn up bass or turn down bass
I’ve seen instances of delayed audio and such for CarPlay units resulting in the apple maps being also delayed, with the maps gradually falling further and further behind where your actual location is.
Is this the case also for this unit?
I have had that happen to me few time. I just restart the apps.
What about the steering wheel buttons? Do they still work with this unit?
Yes they do.
Will this work for EX-L Accords with factory navigation?
I'm not sure. You may want to reach out to Dasaita. They could chat with you. www.dasaita.com/products/dasaita-android13-car-stereo-for-honda-accord-2013-2017-wireless-carplay-android-auto-car-radio-qualcomm-665-10-2-qled-screen-wifi-4g-lte-8g-256g-dts-gps-navigation-head-unit-optical-output
If you have a model, Honda that has the side view through the right side mirror how do you activate that or does it actually work for that feature?
Hey there..Make sure to plug the Cam VIN to Cam IN. You should have those video cables that came along with your kit.
I Agree
Installed today and the reverse camera is not coming on automatically. I cannplug the camera into the av input and see it, but it wont detect it when its set up as it should be. Hopefully customer service helps me out.
It could be the TFT box.
My apple carplay only seems to work wired, can’t get the wireless to work. Any idea why?
It sounds like you may have a different radio as this one only does wireless CarPlay and not wired. Your radio may not have wireless capabilities.
Nice job bro 💪 💯
Thanks for the kind words. Cheers!
Does this have valet mode?
