I like your Picture in Picture style of video breakdown. Good stuff dude 👍🏼
Thank you, really appreciate it! 🤙🏼
Just ordered the G13 video. Hoping it’ll work flawlessly. Thanks for the video.
That’s awesome - Let me know how it is!
Finally someone making toyota tundra content we want to see! Do you have any more plans for the build?
Appreciate it! Lots more to come, to get the truck where I want it. Stay tuned!
Hi AJ, thanks for the video. I'm seriously thinking of doing the same thing. But, I've negative reviews on Dasaita...are you still happy with it? Other than the mic issue and the high volume even at low settings, are you still happy with it?
Glad the video helped. Aside from the two issues you noted which are my biggest peeves, the head unit is amazing. I am still super super happy with it.
Dasaita is a little iffy on quality. Some folks are saying the new G12 unit is a little less buggy, so I threw a link to that in my install video, too. If you currently don’t have CarPlay, I think you’ll be majorly happy with the upgrade.
Hello! Great videos. Helped me install mine. Quick question about the microphone. Did you change yours? If so, can you share what you did? People complain that I sound like a walkie talkie. Thanks!
NVM. Found my answer further down in your comments. Thanks!
I ended up disconnecting mine and using the integral mic. It still isn’t that great, and I find myself talking on speakerphone fairly often.
(I’m hopeful they get a better mic. It will really complete the head unit)
Thanks for the updates.
However, you didn’t readdress the microphone.
You’re using Toyota’s or the one that came with it? And the quality of what you’re using is…?
I thought of it after posting, and was bumming I didn’t update everyone. I have stuck with the integral Dasaita mic (not wired, the one on the screen). The integral mic is so-so. I bounce between that, and talking on my phones speakerphone.
at 7:27 of your video - you used a tucked away usb cable fpr the update. Why not run that cable to your factory usb/aux plug below the heater controls???
I found that the wireless CarPlay worked flawlessly, and I have a higher wattage charger for phone charging. Figured I’d only use the USB once in a blue moon for updates
This isn't the newest version. Many of the issues you are having are fixed on the G12 models.
Hello, i bought the Dasaita Head unit G12 for my car Nissan rogue SL 2019 and I’m worried about the cameras (specifically in the front and side cameras) because my old head unit has a physical camera button with 4 modes, I haven't seen any video talking about this feature on the Nissan Rogue SL brand 😢
I would give customer service a shout. They have been really helpful for me
Just chiming in, I plan on purchasing a rogue myself, and I also want to get the G12 head unit. I think it comes with the CANBUS and necessary wiring to support the 360 camera. The models Dasaita makes for specific car models are made with OEM replacement in mind.
Question: Do you still use the phone cable that it came with or do you use something else? Also i know you mentioned that the steering wheel controls work for the music, do they work for the phone as well?
I don’t know what you mean by the phone cable. My current setup for how I use it is fully cordless.
For the steering wheel controls it’s two part. Non-CarPlay function the phone buttons work to get you into the dialer/contact list and hang up. The voice command takes you to google assistant (to google stuff) which doesn’t work unless you have a SIM card. In CarPlay the call buttons don’t work with CarPlay, but the voice command takes you to Siri (works great).
Sorry, I meant the mic cable. How do you switch to the internal mic that built into the unit?
@@user-ox5os1jy2i Ohh I gotcha. When the mic is unplugged, it reverts to the built-in mic.
Is there an auto dim setting? If so, is it comfortably dim at night? Purchased a different one for a different car and the lowest brightness setting was still too bright at night.
The dasaita for my 4Runner was horribly bright on the lowest setting. This one is very normal and perfect on med/low brightness. It does have an auto dim when your headlights on (just verified)!
im considering this unit to replace my Phoenix Tesla Style HU. I would like to use the factory GPS antenna. Do you know if there is an adapter cable for the Dasaita.
It may, as the connector looks similar. The GPS box from dasaita is the small black one. Could be a good question for their customer service team on their website.
Have you tried the sub output by chance to add a aftermarket amp and sub?
Ironically I just ordered a sub, we shall see if it works. Video will be up in a couple of weeks!
I have two questions. Does it have Sirius radio app built in and what year is your truck ?
Mine is a 2015. I don’t see a Sirius app. Now there is a Google Store, so it may be available there.
How did you customize the wallpaper and such? And also im having phone call issues where I can barely hear them and yet they can hear me, any insight?
You’re able to change it in the settings function. It’s under ‘theme’. I haven’t had problems hearing people, but some folks have complained that the mic wasn’t working well. Transparently I talk on speakerphone (on my cell) most of the time.
@@AJLoDato22 nice I got to change mine in the system. Are you able to change the head unit's bottom row panel color instead of the blue it has?
That's one thing I haven't been able to figure out. I'd like the color changed, too.@@richardhuynh1198
How’s does the radio function work with radio stations. I’ve heard radio stations do not come in that good
I did have static issues on my 4Runner’s Dasaita, but none whatsoever with this unit.
Hello does this have android auto? And does it connect wireless or has to be wired with cable the phone to work? Thanks
It is advertised as having wireless android auto. I don’t have an android phone though, so I can’t verify.
I have had mine for about a year. I have loved it. Now when I turn the car on the bottom lights light up but the screen just stays black. Any idea how to fix it or is it just done.
Mine had the exact same issue. They sent me an update that fixed it and has yet to black out again. Update in the description of my video.
Thanks for the update. I put them on a flash drive and plugged it in and started the truck. It doesn’t seem to be doing anything. What do I need to do just wait or what. I can’t see anything happening because I just have the buttons lit up and a black screen. Thanks for any help
I just figured it out. Thanks for the help
does this work with the back up camera?
Yup it works with the backup camera!
Will this unit allow my phone calls to sound better. Right now with the factory radio in my 2017 Toyota Tundra my phone calls sound like crap. Also, do you know what the difference is between the 6G +64G versus the 8G + 256G unit?
Truthfully, the one major downfall is microphone clarity with this head unit. It’s bad. For better sound, I’d recommend a name brand unit (Sony). For the data, I personally don’t see the extra coin being worth it for a 256G unless you intend to store data or use a SIM card.
So the mic is bad but does the unit allow me to hear callers through the speakers in my truck?
@@jayloecken2490it allows you to play the phone through your speakers, but the external mic itself is very bad. So bad that I unplugged and reverted to the built in mic near the volume controls. In most cases, I use my phone on speaker whine when I drive.
What about car settings ? How can you change any of em ?
I don’t remember my OEM unit being able to change car settings. This one does all I need to at least.
Will it work with the “anytime backup camera” setup?
I’m sure what that is (mine doesn’t have that function). I will say, this doesn’t have an option to pick a rear camera when driving.
@@AJLoDato22 I’d imagine it would still work ,it’s hardwired to tailgate Camera controlled by panel mounted rocker switch. I’ll soon findout 🙂
Where do i purchase this stereo i live in nova scotia canada?
I wish I could help. Amazon link in the description, or try their website.
Reverting to radio every time you start it is a dealbreaker in itself for me. The volume coming in full would really do it. I haven't used my radio once since I bought mine. Thanks for the video.
Glad the video helped. Tried to be as transparent as possible!
Both those options are configurable broseph
@@gregorypatrickday how do you do it? Still haven’t been able to figure it out
Back up camera work!?
Yup works great (clip of it in my install video)
