Unrelated, but I really dig that front bumper.
Looks stock ish
so, the colour is ok?
Would be great to see a video on your bumper as it looks OEM+
It wouldn’t be much of a video, it’s just OEM with cut and painted caps. I was thinking of adding a hidden tow hook. I suppose if I did that it would make for more than a 2 minute video of cutting plastic 🤷🏽♂️
Jon, great video. I am also a interested in the bumper as it looks really good and seems like an easy modification. Could you add some more detailed footage on the bumper. Those 2 minutes you mentioned would be enough. Greetings from Germany and a happy New year for you, your family and the whole Bleepin Jeep Crew.
As a new owner of an old XJ this is a great video for me to know what opions are out there. Thank you.
I wanna see a walk around of that Jeep I see some cool stuff on it
Because of this video, I'm seriously considering installing one in my MJ and one in my ZJ. Of course, not wanting to leave well enough alone, I'm thinking of installing a night vision camera on my ZJ, to view thru the head unit.
301steady sounds awesome 😎
Hey 301steady, did you end up getting one of these into your ZJ? I've been looking for something for my '98 ZJ. It's not my daily driver but the stock unit is toast and I'm debating whether or not I should go w/ a simple & cheap single DIN or getting something like this Joying unit here.
@@estevannegrete2891 Hello Estevan. I actually have not installed an Android Head Unit. I've been wanting one; but, all units I've found pop up. I haven't found one that pops down, away from the glare shield. My stock unit hasn't worked in ten years; but, really, I've been thinking about taking the radio head unit out, along with my amp, and air bag computer and taking them all to a little shop in Van Nuys called shop.modulerepairpro.com/ . They say they can fix all of these units. My ZJ is my daily driver; so, I have to really think about when to totally down it and do this. I plan on driving my ZJ to KOH in a couple of weeks and I've got some plans for Mojave Road, late February. Maybe March or April, I'll finally break down and do this. Let me know if you find an aftermarket head unit with good results; otherwise, at least we have an option for rebuilding our stock units.
I really REALLY dig this type of video! It's not totally XJ specific, but is totally awesome!
xerointell Thank you!
i like how it mounts to the dash. it would be perfect for the din and a half head unit in my k5 blazer. i don’t want a flip out head unit but it is a little pricey and i don’t have obd2. great video it gives me an extra option if i can’t find something i like
Just ordered a 7 inch cheap version. Phone mirror is more than enough for me. Can't wait.
I had this exact same unit with the steering wheel control (an absolute MUST with this unit) also but got frustrated with it and ended up removing it. The main problem is that it doesn't truly power down when you turn your vehicle off. That means if you are connected to apple Carplay it stays connected and and continues to stream music if you are still in wifi and bluetooth range. Your Iphone stays connected to apple car play since the unit doesn't truly shut down. Also, half the time it would try to launch apple carplay through Z-link and it would take 10-15 minutes to connect. Other times it would connect right away. The audio part of this unit is OUTSTANDING! Unfortunately, the Carplay issues and the fact that I have to disconnect bluetooth to use obd functions was enough to have me pull this out of my dash. Now I have a Sony AX-8000 ($$) and am very happy so far, especially since the "Gaia" app works on Carplay (beta). I'm keeping my eye out for firmware updates to see if that addresses any of the issues and perhaps at that point give it another try. BleepinJohn, you rock! Keep the great videos coming!!!
Hi Eric, does that headunit cover vents/dials in your XJ? Assuming it's a 98-2001? Appreciate any extra input you could provide.
I've been wanting a touch screen w/bigger screen but since my TJ is a soft top I was always hesitant. This unit looks like a good solution.
SoggyFries For a tj I would recommend the Insane Audio unit just because it’s ip66 waterproof rated.
@@chasestone5950 Nice, thanks! I will look into that.
Well I'll be damned. Ive been looking a headunit for my ZJ and thunk I may have found one. Ill look more into this unit when I have time and Thank you!
Drooling over finding the perfect head unit for my jeep for 23 minutes and then seeing the price..... RIP!
Same I've been wanting a touchscreen radio for my jeep for a while and got hyped seeing the video until seeing the price
Yeah they’re a little too expensive but the customer service thou it’s pretty good
I got the 170 $ version. Just going to use phone mirror. My 92 xj doesn't need internet lol
@@justjsse8917 true that. Being said though, I drive too and from the trail so that extra comfort would be nice.
NICE!!! That's an Awesome Gage Readout 👍. Lot of "Goodies" there, especially the Map👌 Thx !⚡
Dude! I might have to buy this thing!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thanks for the great videos.
Nice find, JVC used to make a couple single dins with video screens It was small, but looked pretty good, but that was like 10 years ago so they don't have all the new technology. I just put a double din in my MJ that has the xj 2001 interior. A company now makes a double din trim piece, though it does require some cutting on plastic, so once you go double din you can't go back.
I installed a double din Joying head unit in my XJ a couple years ago. The only major complaint I have is that the touchscreen is iffy and the volume controls are part of the touchscreen, so volume up and down is hard to do quickly. It's annoying. Also, software updates were a big pain.
Edit: before anyone squawks about the double din thing, yes, I had to cut my dash, make custom mounts, and customize my bezel to accommodate it.
where do you obtain the software upgrade for the dash meters? And were you also able to control your electric fan on the radiator with the software upgrade?
@@smcgooter2927 it doesn't replace any of the factory gauges or the HVAC controls. Those are still in their factory locations.
A year later, I still never installed mine. Lol. I’m wondering if I can put the steering wheel volume knob in place of my cigarette lighter
Looks great, but bit expensive for me. I've been toying with fitting an Atoyo or similar head unit built into the centre dash to replace my 'cutting edge' Infinity radio cassette! Sadly nobody makes a 2din specific install kit for the XJ so I'll have to do a bit of butchering with a universal 2din cage & trim surround. Hopefully it won't end up looking shit!
Thanks for posting
Alpine Halo owns the title of absolute best car stereo for a Jeep Cherokee XJ.
I am considering replacing my head unit, however what does it mean for the operating of the radio antenna does it still work? Does it still go up and down?
Great video! Does the unit auto adjust for brightness? Can you turn on an view the rear camera without being in reverse?
Curious how this has held up in the last 3 years, I really want to get one but don’t know how it will hold up to the off-roading abuse
Awesome, I've been looking for a unit like this for my TJ. There are kits to make the TJ dash into a double din but I didn't really want to go that route. Then there are the one with the screen that mechanically comes out of the unit into display mode, but most would block the vents or controls. Seems like this would fit nicely into that space.
Enough on the damn radio. Now let's see some video of you doing that engine swap! I think that most of us are more interested in that....lol...
You should be able to place it behind the bezel. I’ve measured it and the exact lid screen is precisely the size of the hole. You just have to build a mount so that the 1 din is in the right place
Im sold on this with that being said I would love a parts list. Found the radio just not the controller
Would this fit in a 1996 XJ?
In the video at Minutes 13:40, the video discusses manual control of fan? can this android-joying unit, software (add-on) really control the XJ electric radiator fan? and what company can this software-add-on (for meters and fan control) be purchased from?
One long commercial worth watching.
Hey you guys should try putting a double din in there and a step by step process.
Nice Xj..My 99 Xj has almost 400,000 Mile's and is just like New... The 4.0 is bulletproof
The dealbreaker for me would be not being able to display TorquePro (an always on app for me!) and use my phone at the same time. Clean install and great video however!
Ewing Fox you can have both connected, of course only one can be on the screen. If you opt not to use the Joying dash cam then you can do both at the same time, all the time, you just have to do WIRED CarPlay only.
@@DRTJon so you can take a phone call via Bluetooth if you have the torque app on the screen - I assume the display would change over to the call (reasonable) but both devices stay connected?
Ewing Fox I’ll have to try that and get back to you but I believe so
Ewing Fox I’ve tested it and with the iPhone connected via WIRED CarPlay, it DOES work to take a hands free call and continue using Torque Pro
The white wire for steering controller, did you connect it to key1 and 2 on the joying unit? I connected it to key one and I can't set the volume knob. When I click the rotary wheel it doesn't stay pressed so I can set it.
Would you have a new link for the wiring adapter? Thank you in advance!
Did you ever find the wiring adaptor? I can’t find one and I want to put one of these joying stereos in
"My check engine light doesn't work" that's one way to keep the light off!
Zipperheadxj00 with the TDI swap I haven’t hooked it up lol. Some day maybe I will but in PA they don’t OBDII check anything for pre 2008 diesel so it won’t matter for inspection
Looks like this piece is not CarPlay certified. Nearly every android piece I’ve seen had serious usability and reliability flaws. Would be interested to see how you feel about this in a few months.
wish I knew how you mounted the stereo into that opening...
If I can't find that Double DIN kit for my TJ, This might be on my list of things to get.
Dorsk84 they used to be available, not sure about now, found mine on jeepforum.
I’m trying to figure out how to get a screen in my 91xj. Saw a guy relocate everything down and eliminate the center vent. I think a Sony ax 1000 might fit without doing anything
How does that hold up when driving in a rock garden? It doesn't look like it would hold up on a rough road.
I just bought this same stereo, based on videos like this. My interface/launcher looks like just a super generic tablet, and not at all like this. Did you have to install a new launcher or something? Additionally, when I put the stereo in there is no sound coming from it.
So you run the transmission reverse wire from the unit to the positive for the reverse lights in the taillight? This has been a sticking point in finishing. Also, it looks like you ignored the emergency brake wire. On some head units this locks out certain features like DVD and Bluetooth connection. Did you have to do anything to fool the E brake wire? Great vid, thanks!
The wiring harness link no longer works ): I really want to put this in my jeep but I don’t know what wire harness to buy
None of this is currently available, any other recommendations of something similar
Hey, thanks for the video. The link to the wiring harness is broken. Do you know where I can find that harness? Thanks!
Hey Jon, Do you think that it would be possible to mount the Unit further back in the dash and carefully notch out the dash bezel to make it sink in a bit and look less aftermarket?
They have a piece on ebay to help with that
running that OBD2 all the time to watch your gauges is a good way to fry your harness and ECM. Insurance companies handed those out to save money on insurance for good driving. They melted harnesses and totaled cars. Not meant to be used constantly.
Looks like they dont sell those anymore. Is there a new model you would recommend?
I have a different version from Joying. It is a pain to update the unit and the apps, fights to stay connected to wifi, auto opens apps at start up and I can't get it to stop and it's a slow interface.
Don't get me wrong, I like the unit mainly just because I don't have to use my phone to navigate. But if there was a different company doing single din touch screens I'd toss my $300 unit and switch.
So your Obdlink LX connects fine? I have a different Joying and the Obdlink LX won't connect. I need it due to the faster data rate to the chinese obd2 dongles, Joying says it's not compatible either.
Great review, I was wondering is this head unit compatible with the Gaia app? Your channel rocks.
Does anyone know of an OBD-II fix, that uses an Android display, to force the electric radiator fan to turn-on, to add more jeep-XJ engine cooling ?
Thank you for the video. I think the link for the steering remote is not directing correctly. Possible to redirect us with the proper link?
Question, Will this head unit work with the stock steering volume wheel controls? I'm hoping to swap a WJ steering wheel into my XJ and use the factory controls.
I found your Amazon review on this unit and saw that you upgraded to Sony ax8000 after a few short months
Can we see??!!! I’m aiming for that one for my Xj
I wonder if it will work for the older XJ like OBD 1 and the 90 style XJ’s
The ODB Live Data will not work with OBD-1, because there is no port to communicate with the PCM.
I was meaning like the OBD 1 style jeeps for the radio because this video is showing the newer XJ
@@mudboysjeeps92 Yes, the radio functions will work. The XJs all had the same plugs attached to the radio.
Dash as well I got a 92 and I tried this style radio once before and it wouldn’t fit maybe the screen was a bit bigger but it hit the side of the dash
But anyway it was a really cool video I like it
Looks great but I have a I phone. Will it connect to that? Wish it had Sirius.
It sure will!! Via wireless Apple CarPlay, or via Bluetooth, and you could also use your phone to make a WiFi hotspot for the radio to connect to for internet access on the radio all the time when you're in it... Fully supports the iPhones yup
I wanna get me one of those for my 00 suburban!
so eon educate my on that sick steering wheel... i need one
Xj owner here and in the market for a car stereo. This unit and accessories have several bad reviews. It fits perfect, but buyer beware. Personally, I'm going to go with saving a little while longer and going with Alpine. Never had a bad Alpine, this will be my 3rd one, so I'll let yall know as soon as income tax return shows up.
Curious does it tell you how much gas you have left like will it say when your about to be on empty? That would be a cool feature I know the classic xjs have that dash above but my 01 sport doesn’t
Anyone know what adapter he bought ? My joying is on the way and I hate wiring.
Great video! Still haven't answered my question Jon, where in Pa. are you? Not exact just near. noticed you have the same hood latch setup I have in the Bumble Jeep. Did you do the gas props as well? I have them but haven't installed them yet as I don't like the mounting hardware they came with. (holes for the ball attachments are too big) Did you ever post the rest of the engine swap? Was looking forward to them but must have missed them. Happy New Year and God bless.
And I’m looking for a front and rear trail cameras for a double din radio for my xj
any idea if you can install other android apps on it? I use a mapping app called Maprika for the off-road parks in my area. Ive got a tablet on my dash for it. It'd be awesome if I could move that to an in-dash unit. Thanks for the video!
Can u watch movies or live tv with screen mirror zlink? How reliable is WiFi and CarPlay
I ordered one of these 3 weeks ago. Installed it this week. Then I found out that the GPS is cell phone based. It isn't a true GPS. It comes with a GPS antenna, but it's pretty useless. You cannot navigate unless you have a data connection.
I ordered it under the impression that it would navigate something akin to a Garmin or Tom Tom. I take my Cherokee out to some pretty desolate areas, areas where a cell signal is weak at best. Areas where a GPS is pretty handy.
BUT THE PISS-POOR EXCUSE FOR A GPS WITH THIS SYSTEM WON'T WORK WITHOUT A CELL SIGNAL OR INTERNET CONNECTION.
Don't buy this for the GPS. Unless you want to make it a wifi hotspot. Yeah, you'll have to pay for your GPS via a sim card.
Thank you for this update. This was the only question I had an could never find an answer for.
I can’t find out how to do the active wallpaper on mine, could you tell me how ?
Jon, does the company offer an iOS (Apple CarPlay) version? I did not see one on the website. Any other sources anyone know about?
What’s with all the gear levers? 🤔
Is there a double den option for this radio?
I’m in need of a durable radio antenna. I like the style of yours. What year is your XJ? What brand, model of antenna? Thanks
That's a CB antenna
If you cut the trim piece around the radio above the climate controls can you recess it or flush mout it so it will look factory in the XJ?????
We will be recessing the joying unit in my 2008 f350 to look factory will just depend on your size and room you have
Did i miss the finish of the tdi swap? He appears to be driving it no?
Does anyone know if theirs any other brand that makes this besides Joying??
Added to my list of mods
The price is $379.99 😫
Yeah, I once bought an XJ for $500. After taxes this head unit would almost double the cost of that Jeep.
@@jon1913 😂
I got mine for $299USD.
Make an offer on their eBay listing, they're very negotiable:
Ebay.com.au/itm/323751985426
That is a big price for just a small tablet.
yea but it has all the features as a normal tablet in a car and it doesnt come eith a brand new car with a brand new car it would make it 2k extra
I had one of these tablet types radios before and found they’re buggy compared to a name brand radio (Sony, alpine, pioneer.
What kind of bumper end caps are those
Nice unit I want one ! On the gage cluster is boost actually showing vacuum?
This is the Spool Bus, it's real USDA certified boost :-)
Is this unit still working out for you? Anyone else have it that can confirm it's a good unit over time?
I had an XJ for many years and loved it. I now have a 06 TJ. Do you think that head unit would fit a TJ????
The TJ is a very similar dash layout, get the right single DIN adapter for your application and it would work.
Yes it would, but for a tj I would recommend Insane audio because it’s waterproof and dustproof. With this unit you wouldn’t have to worry about going topless or off-roading.
how has this held up for you so far? still going strong?
Do you offroad your xj? I daily mine but also use it for rock crawling and trail riding. My concern is will that face pop off when I'm offroad? I like to listen to music while I'm offroad so just taking the screen off wouldn't be a option.
I have wheeled a several times with it on, and there's no chance of the face popping off, it's very securely mounted. It amazingly doesn't rattle or contact the dash at all though it's very close. I'll be wheeling a lot more this coming year and it doesn't worry me at all. The only thing that I'm slightly concerned about long term is dust, the display seems well sealed, but the in-dash part is definitely not sealed in the slightest
@@DRTJon Thank you very much. I'm probably going to buy one for my jeep. That was my only concern was the screen, if it didn't fall off on you while wheeling I'm sold. Thank you for the reply.
Is this unit iPhone compatible as well
Will the work on a 95 Sport???
does this support direct satelitte radio?
If you talk to joying you can get a screen without there stupid logo I did this when I accidentally smashed my old screen
I wonder if they will do one which says "Jeep"
@@TheKritter91 I doubt it would make it look like a jeep product could always try tho I thought about having one done in old ford motor company font for my f350
How do you think the 10 inch Joying would look on the XJ Din area?
Just measured XJ Din slot most in could probably do is 9" without encroaching on the AC knobs
Does it go left and right too? I'm not sure if it will fit where the screen attaches in my zj. Theres not much room to the right of the radio. Its tighter than an xj.
Kevin Knabe if you don’t need the spacers to space it away from the dash, there is room to offset it about 1/2” left or right
@@DRTJon oh great that would be perfect. It would need that to clear dash to the right of the radio.
Does this work with the mj?
Can you download apps to it, for instance the sPod app for Android?
you can download any Android app to it. I don't have any sPod products but I suspect it works! The only app I tried that installs but doesn't seem to work is the DJI app to try and control my DJI Osmo Action camera. I think I could get that working with enough trying though, I expect it's the connection to my iPhone preventing it from working
Is the unit capable of hands free calls?
How well does the microphone in it work for talking on the phone?
Paul Standaert in a diesel Jeep it’s not been great
Does It have a SD card slot? I know you said the dash cam does, but what about the unit it self? I use an offline map program to DL sat+ street maps (I usually don't have cell service where I wheel, but do have GPS) The satillet images can be very big depending on resolution and miles² so extra storage is important (16gb might not be enough)... I was thinking about just mounting a regular Android tablet (have been using my phone), but this looks incredible!
It has 2 usb cables you can use to attach external storage to. I don't remember the max size but I used a 64gb thumb stick for movies.
@@SuperCheese88 Thanks! Looks like the only downside is the single Bluetooth device (bug?). It's not a big deal and I can work around it, so I'm definitely going to look into it... (I wonder if a USB hub and or Bluetooth dongle would work🤔) I'm into retro games, it would be sweet to connect 2 game controllers when camping! So many possibilities!
it does have a micro SD slot behind the display, which can be accessed by the Android OS
@@Wooskii1 I use a wireless USB game controller (has a USB dongle receiver) and it's plug and play!! Works great for games, I play GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas games on my Joying all the time, and used to play the old PS1 era games in a emulator using the controller too
Thanks for the info everyone! With 2 USB ports and a micro SD slot, I can't think of any problems without a workaround. It looks like it's pretty powerful by the specs too!
I bought this for my XJ and I havnt installed it yet. Do you think it can be installed behind the bezel instead of in front?
Pretty Boy Jeep I think you would have to recess the entire thing into the dash more but it wouldn’t be impossible because there’s room to do that. I might get an extra center trim piece and try it, the opening should be a pretty good size for the display
@Jon BleepinJeep, thanks for the reply. If you get a chance, check out my jeep on my channel. It’s nothing fancy, just a mostly restored stock XJ with some decent cosmetic mods, jasper motor, New suspension, stock height. PS. You’re in PA also?
Can you make it sit behind the dash bezel?
Same question? I have the 1995 XJ..?
Alright ...i'm sold. Lol
Would this work with Gaia gps? I really am not a tech guy lol
But does it fit in a pre-97?
Right. I think you'd have to move heater controls up and take out the bottom bent for this to work. On my 92 at least
