Great video, can you tell me what canbus adapter you are using? And what factory software to communicate with it , i have a hi world canbus and softyfor vw golf mqb and when i press MODE comes up with driving modes for a hybrid golf :) great vids keep up the great work 👍
I used the same canbus that comes with this system. I can’t say what the model number was. I replaced this system with a MIb 2.5 so I can’t check the version of vw I had selected, sorry. I did try a few when I accidentally selected the wrong one once. There’s only a few so worth trying them each to see which once works the best with your golf setup.
You've tried a few of these golf headunits, what are your thoughts now? Would you just fit a carplay/android auto box to the oem or is the Apline the better install?
OEM has been the best install for me. Only down side is it isn’t wireless but a dongle will sort that out. But stock just feels, looks and acts much better than the others (alpine and Android systems) I have tried.
Hello mate, thanks for the vid. II have a few questions, firstly I have a 2015 Golf R and when you go into select mode on your dash in the car does the Dasaita bring up the Race mode, as I noticed on yours, I know you drive a GTI and you dont have it R mode, but just wondering have you seen this in use at all or have tested it. Second question can you still use the aerial antenna that's already installed on the Golf R that black shark fin that sits on the roof or do you have to use there's as it seems really complicated a bits and parts do and don't fit etc. Cheers Bruv
Hello can you please tell me if you can accès to car settings and tpms and driving right or left etc.. and sound its better than original and radar work good?
Thanks for doing this !! I really appreciate it. I don't have the alpine as an option here in canada, they don't sell it here plus we don't have DAB either. I think I will pull the trigger and get one. Thanks again !
Do you have some advice on some reliable ones out there besides Dasaita? I made some of the worst purchase decisions when I bought a Seicane last year. I think it’s a scam.
Check out brands: Eonon, Joying, Atoto, Idoing, Mekede, T'eyes and EKIY. I liked the look of the Teyes, but I chose to go OEM stock in the end for my Golf and I won't be doing another install again. Hope this helps.
Thank you for these fantastic series of videos! They are extremely useful! I have also a couple of questions. Where did you place the included GPS antenna? Does it have an AUX input option?
You’re welcome and thanks for watching. I reused my existing GPS connection from my original MIB system. I had a Nav Professional MIB system. If yours didn’t have navigation then I would suggest either placing it inside the side pillar of the door frame or you could try placing it on top of the receiver casing , but once it’s installed the signal might not be so great as on the side pillar. It does come with AUX IN and OUT but I don’t use that. Plus I couldn’t get AUX IN 3.5mm jack to work. I think I need an AUX app or something to toggle and accept input from what’s plugged into the AUX port. The AUX 3.5mm comes attached to the two black female USB cables.
Hi by the way great video. I have a couple of questions maybe you can help. 1. What kind of extra cables i shoukd buy. 2. Can i use the factory installed microphone for bluetooth. 3. Does it support factory tpms.
Hi, thanks for watching for your comments :) 1. I mention the cables in Part 1, and I also link them in the video description above, this is for my 2014 Golf7, so more modern systems might carry different cables and could work with the cables Dasaita supplies. If you don't have a USB carplay port in the lower centre console, then you might want to get that also, as I already had the one that came with my Alpine unit. If you're coming from stock you might not have this, or just have an AUX 3.5mm input. 2. The Alpine seemed to use the factory mic, but this Dasaita seems to use its own, you can also choose to place their external mic, but I found the quality of the mic to be much better than the head unit mic. I am not sure about using a microphone for Bluetooth, BT would be with the system you install, not the microphone itself. The microphone would likely connect via cable (i think via the harness connection), seeing as I never saw a cable for it. 3. It supports factory TPMS, there is a menu screen, I show this in the video, but my system doesn't support the reading of pressure, only if the pressure has dropped significantly. Hope these help answer your questions.
Hi thanks for your helpful reply. My golf is a 2013 model. I dont have the factory usb. Shall i buy the original app connect usb or use the dasaita usb ?
OK, we are probably on the same model system. Basically, for wired CarPlay/Android Auto connection you can just use the grey female USB cable that came with the Dasaita to connect a lightning or USB-A to C cable to your device. You don't have to connect this to an AUX/USB module like I did. I was just likely to have it on me from my Alpine install. Down the same location, I assume you have a AUX IN port? no USB port. So you can either buy one like the alpine or similar, it needs the end of the connection to have a USB-A male and a 3.5mm male. Similar to this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184726581116?hash=item2b028fef7c:g:I7IAAOSwX35iYV6z. If you know you're not going to use the 3.5mm aux, and with the dasaita I haven't found how to use it yet, you could use something like this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324441553100?epid=9035178550&hash=item4b8a3938cc:g:KTAAAOSwuG1g0guX with 2 USB, one for carplay and the other could be spare for other things like onboard wifi, instead of it being in the glove box/elsewhere.
I have the same and I am very happy, but have you managed to assign a different app to the music button on the left side screen menu? Always defaults to a vivid app.
@@CarPlayLife with the button mapping app I was not able for the music to specify a 3rd party app like poweramp. Compared to the GPS button, links to the user prefered navigator of Android fine. I have contacted Dasaita and thay suggested the button mapping as well. Maybe I missed something.
I can’t say but as long as this info is passed over CANBUS it should display on the system. But it will likely display it in a not so fancy way than stock.
ciao e complimenti per i tuoi video. Veramente dettagliti e ben fatti. ;-) potrei sapere come fare per modificare il theme di carwebguru e farlo identico al tuo con lo stesso sfondo e le finestre come hai fatto tu ? Grazie mille e continua cos' ;-)
Not for my golf. It still works but for any passthrough to the unit from the system such as radio etc. it just shows up nothing. Also noticed that the internal compass no long works. Stuck on displaying NE. But I never really used it much anyway. Same for the center cluster in general since my Alpine before it make it stop working also. You went to music option and it would just say ‘Alpine’ on it. Nothing else. So I’m not missing out on much.
Do you have a video on how this works or how it's affected? The main thing I use is the digital speedo and/or phone when calling people, do these functions still work? I am literally about to hit buy on one of these
Hey mate. I just purchased a 2018 Bmw x3 that comes with idrive 6 and only supports apple carplay. Is there any kind of dongle that can be purcased in order to have Android Auto on my x3?
Either the Ottocast U2-X ruclips.net/video/fR3Wku1ZxVA/видео.html or an AI Box that runs android os. You can then use its CarPlay/AAuto android app to connect your android phone for android auto. Similar to this ruclips.net/video/sBVsmwwqDcc/видео.html
Hi i have bought this dasaita and there is a usb adapter mic connection on the harness. Is that to connect the factory bluetooth mic? Amd do i connect it on one of the usbs i have available.
I didn’t connect this USB I didn’t see any other usb cables to connect it to other than the one for CarPlay lower down. If it was for a BT mic, I think I prefer the quality of the mic on the headunit than the external. Do you know where the factory BT mic connection is? I’ll look again the next time I’m inside It think the USB in the harness is for connecting to something like the CD player ‘brains’ that would have been in the glovebox
@@CarPlayLife No I didnt locate the bluetooth connection in the glove box yet but im having trouble with the voice as the unit mic is a bit far away from the driver seat position amd external mic doea not work
I probably would have thought about it at the time of moving away from the MIB1 system but I wanted a bigger display and I wasn’t a fan of the front USB port on them.
@@CarPlayLife thanks! Looks like i'll stick with my carlinkit dongle for the time being on my mk7 golf. It works fine but the audio delay on watching youtube on the phone is abit annoying.
@@jingwen07 very wise if that’s the only issue. The only way to deal with video audio lag over WiFi is to buffer the content in a player and getting it in sync then. Any streaming off a phone will suffer with this unless on the display end they hold on to it and buffer it. If playing off your phone you can try using BT instead of AirPlay (WiFi). If your car has BT it will have much faster audio sync when streaming off your phone.
In the car->factory settings-> what is the TPMS set to? I just got one and it's throwing an error due to the radio not being able to reset the indirect tpms system Also my dcc mode doesn't let me change the individual driving mode, any thoughts?
That’s the one thing I missed out. 🤦🏻♂️ So when you tap on auto or toggle heated seats, or do anything related to the climate control you get a fancy display over the bottom of the screen. I’ll do a RUclips short video in the near future that covers this.

Haha no problem. Exciting!! I hope it goes well for you.
Hi mate. Looking at a similar unit. Did this come with the carbon look trim ?
No only black. But my alpine aftermarket it replaced also was black so I didn’t miss the original carbon as much
I have the same and I am very happy, but have you managed to assign a different app to the music button on the left side screen menu? Always defaults to a vivid app.

No that’s lost. I lost that when my alpine went in and never got it back since I put an MIb2.5 back in
@@CarPlayLife ok thank you for your response
Can you still access the vehicle menu panel? Can I still set the air tire pressure?
Yes but it’s all presented in a not so nice list design
Could this be different with different software used on the Android device that's managing the canbus interface?

All sound great to add to a video! How to guide to setting it up
Have you looked into the (RCD?) 280B retrofit?
I probably would have thought about it at the time of moving away from the MIB1 system but I wanted a bigger display and I wasn’t a fan of the front USB port on them.
do the parking sensors still work with this?
Yes the sensors do. As does the camera if you have one. I don’t have a camera so I could not try this on my setup.
Does tire pressure reset still work with this screen
Yes it does. I had to use it day 1 as I reset the system and forgot to set it
Hello buddy I bought this but can't clear tmps for some reason
Does this play without putting amps to it ?
I’m not sure what you mean. It needs some kind of power to make it turn on. It doesn’t need to be connected to a separate amp.
Is there the usual 2 secs audio delay on wireless CarPlay?
Yup, it’s on here also. It’s a trait we have to compromise with when going wireless. 🙃
