    Unless someone has already mentioned it, the android head unit opens up a world of options now that you have it. First off, you can add a Bluetooth OBD2 reader to pair with the head unit and run Torque Pro and create custom software gauges to read out practically any possible engine sensor. Secondly, you can install an aftermarket multi camera birds eye 3d interpolating system. This not only replicates the 360 degree overhead camera system available in say the new land rover defender (perfect visibility for reversing and 4x4 wheel placement) , but it can also serve as a 360 degree dashcam, all working off software on the head unit. This is just the tip of the iceberg tho, if you factor in raspberry pi/arduino, your only limitation is your ingenuity.

    Nice video mate Really nice 2-DIN NAV unit, better than my laptop mounted on 80's passenger grab rail. But I think I achieved this same goal of isolating the cranking battery a lot easier than you did dude... I simply installed a 200AMP Red Arc isolator between them. I wired it so it opens ONLY when A) the alternator feeds it 12VDC, or B) a toggle switch feed from 2nd battery (as a get out of gaol free).
    So my whole camping solution always runs from the 2nd battery - unless the car is started/running, and then Red Arc prioritises charging the primary battery first.

That 10in screen is massive, but I remember when I first got my 7in GPS screen - size matters in that situation. I am a big fan of what you did re powering HU and UHF from the 2nd battery - I had never thought of doing that as it's the cat stereo, right! But why pull out a tinny BT speaker at camp when you can wind the windows down and have full usage. Great work mate.

  • @simr2105
    @simr2105 2 года назад +1

    Depending on where the amp for your sub is, could you have it powered from your second battery permanently, and make the switch just select the battery for your head unit? (Just thinking it might simplify/shorten the wiring a bit.)

    That new head unit and switch panel "is grouse" 😁 I got the XAV-AX5000 instead of the XAV-AX3000 for my 80 Series, for the same reasons you showed. The 5000 has the same screens as smartphones - TFT Active Matrix. It has a greater viewing angle than the 3000. The 5000 is multi-touch capable, while the 3000 isn't - which only has a resistive screen. My 5000's screen have the same touch feel and responsiveness as my iPhone. And it sound's like I got a bargain, as I paid less than $600 for my 5000 new early this year. Loving your content. 👍

    I have the Sony XAV-AX8000 which I think is great. It fits into a single din slot with the 9” screen and has the ability for moving up and down and tilting onto different angles. It’s in my 1996 nj pajero and I don’t get any glare on the screen. As you would know from your old pajero, the radio slot is mounted down a bit low under the air con controls, but I found it works well where it is. Very responsive screen and load up time and works very well with apple carplay.
    Keep up the good work with the cruiser. Would be good to catch up and see it all in person, and for you to see my pajero and how I’ve set that up.

    Interesting to hear your opinions of the Sony head unit.
    Just installed a XAV-AX1000 on Friday. Was blown away by the improvement in sound. It has a built in 55w amplifier or something.
    I am no audiophile and this was my first time working with a car Radio (I'm 19). In any case it was for a 2010 76 series Land Cruiser.
    And I can tell you the OEM radio is crap. The car did come with aftermarket pioneer speakers. 2 in the front and two in the back.
    Though the previous owner who had the car for almost two years did a very dodgy install.
    I even found a Sony speaker floating behind the radio, it's not even connected. It has been floating around for 9 years! (there was no damage it was wedged in).
    I am a bit of a Sony admirer, but I am not a fan of all their products.

      I really hate how they backtracked from the 100 to 1000 model.
      Unfortunately it is no longer available locally and I was not going to buy it through Amazon.
      They removed Android Auto and you can't set a custom wallpaper.
      At first I hated the tuner interface, but after learning how it works and how to save channels it is very intuitive.
      Though I wish you could name the channels.
      Will see what I think of it in 6 months time. No it's not my car I just daily it to take my sister to school or run errands.
      Still need to install the reverse camera.
      Also the fact that Apple car (or Android auto on the 100 model) is wired only is stupid.
      But my Dad wasn't going to spend (converted to AUD) $1120 on a high end radio.
      For $391 including a camera it is a worthwhile upgrade.
      Edit: Hang on a second, did I see you watch the skid factory?

    Another great informative video guys 👍🏼
    Few questions about the Android head unit:
    1. Does it have a night time screen dimming function? If so, does it automatically dim?
    2. Can you adjust the screen brightness in general?
    3. Can you connect it up to steering wheel audio controls if your car has them?
    4. When you turn your car off does the head unit shutdown, or is it running in standby off an inbuilt battery (like a tablet) so that when you switch the car back on your head unit turns on quickly?

      Thanks Djnmv!
      1. yes
      2. Yes!
      3. Yes, comes with a wire harness for that, not sure how accommodating it is, but does have one.
      4. goes onto a standby mode, so just wake up like a tablet when ignition connected

    Hey that android thing you bought is nice I have a 12.9 inch similar to yours, I reccomend installation wireless buttons for volume control they clip to your steering wheel really nicely and you can program the button to do whatever you want, also I reccomend getting a pocket wifi with a second sim and link it to your phone, have your pocket wifi power on when you start the car that way you don’t need to add hotspot everytime you start the car!
    Hit me up if you need any other tips I’ve installed 3 of these complicated units, and I’ve found a few tricks that come in handy

    Loving your channel, some great practical advice. That 12v panel looks great, how did you wire the switch to change over from main to aux battery?

    • @hawky_y
      @hawky_y 2 года назад

      They would have the load side (stuff that's getting powered) on one side of the switch and on the other side theyd have the feed from the main battery and the feed from the aux battery. So that operating the switch turns off one and turns on the other.
      Sorry if I made it sound hard to follow it's hard to explain by text haha

    Great to see someone not just hacking up the dash. Glad you sprayed the panel with black matt. Just grab some convoluted tubing for that extra cable.
    Please tell me your not running 20 amps thru that switch? Just run a relay man and fuse it. Also did you use 240v cable??? Use DC trailer multi core cable, its good so you can run multiple things and its all wrapped.
    I second the fact that those sony headunits are a total piece of garbage. JVC used to make some great units, but theres not many other decent options now. The sound processing and filtering in those junky ebay radios is horrendous, you wont notice unless your car has decent speakers etc. But they are good enough if youve got an old car.
