I bet you'll have the sweetest sounding system out of all the vanlife builds. Imagine being kicked back on a rainy day with full surround of your favorite music playing softly enough to hear the rain while you watch outside all those windows.
For sure! Doing an under seat subwoofer also, the internal amps will power 4 speakers then another external amp to power the other 2. Probably tactile transducers also. Chilling in the van during a rain storm is a dream come true
Good to hear a long term review, seems like a solid radio for the money, not to cheap where its junk but not too expensive where its hard to justify the price
This guy DuelEx has got a vid about adding on extra back up cameras and putting four of them all wired to one screen For security / was helpful for me as I’m blacking out all my windows and the spray-foaming everything almost.
Yeah thats a cool idea for sure, probably some rca device that that plugs inline. Im doing a backup camera for this one and then a separate system that goes next to the bed that uses 4 cameras and a camera switcher
thanks, no problem! that's awesome! I am looking for a high top at the junk yard to put on my van possibly. can't wait to install the stereo but need to weld in some patch panels first. also consider a security system, i'm not sure if the the 07 has a key chip or not but our vans get stolen a lot. i'm looking at a compustar system
I found this radio on clearance at Walmart for $100. Bluetooth works but CarPlay would always disconnect randomly. I would constantly have to replug my phone. Any ideas on fixing it?
@@4WheelKid I just bought mine from Walmart , it does not come with remote. But was wondering if a universal one from BOSS will work. I dont see a IR sensor in front of radio🤔
im thinking about getting this but im hesitant to switch from a knob to a click to change the volume is there a faster way to turn down the sound. just in case a cop pulls up and im subbing to loud lol please lmk t.y and enjoyed the vid!!!!
I'm curious how you like it during the day? I installed this in my Tundra and really hate it during the day. It's not bright enough and has tons of glare. :(
Darn, heard it being too bright at night, havnt installed mine yet but I will have window tint which will help, also probably helps were its installed, mine will probably will be recessed slightly in the dash which helps
I'm going to purchase this stereo through your link, thanks. I'm also interested in the backup camera, (+forward camera), you used... do you have a link for that as well? You'd mentioned here wanting to add a second system for security, have you picked out the components for this? Again, I'm interested in doing the same... Great channel/content!
hey I appreciate that! seems like the perfect value apple car play stereo. not too cheap where it's junk but not crazy expensive. the built in amp is what sold me. for sure, I got the one in the video here but it's no longer available www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08THS2BJZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I got another from here but still need to test it out, takes a while since it's from china. www.aliexpress.com/item/3256801242609973.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.11fa1802I14Dtl&gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt I'm not a fan of the ones with the ir illuminators behind the protective glass because it would cause glare at night basically 4 of those cameras on a camera switcher to a screen www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0881SMC4V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/Kasionvi-Tft-lcd-Rearview-Headrest-Rotating/dp/B00Z960Y4W/ref=sr_1_8?crid=30NF5YP5WE26C&keywords=7in+monitor+rca&qid=1657527067&sprefix=7in+monitor+r%2Caps%2C518&sr=8-8
depends on how how you wire it, there is a constant line which keeps the clock from loosing time and there is a switched line and it powers off when that one looses power

I own this Radio and have had it for awhile now phone calls are clear sounding plenty of power for music overall a great purchase

Cuántos rms tiene ?
That's a awesome radio!
For sure! Great price! Cant wait to install it

Definitely turn that loudness button on. Should be an improvement in sound. Take care
for sure, makes things sound much more full
Great content, thanks for sharing!
I have an 07 E350 hightop, looking to convert it to 'van life' and your videos, very helpful...

EULA End User License Agreement. Its a toggle switch so maybe its a way to turn off that warning screen when you first turn on the stereo?
agreed, was thinking the same
For sure, will be nice to get rid of that screen at every power up
Ok System Tone, in General Settings, to get rid of the "beep"
Yup pretty much that beep gets annoying
Is there a way of turning off the beeping noise when you press the button on the stereo?
Yeah I explained how in the video I think
General Settings - System Tone, gets rid of it...
did it come with a microphone for making calls when using Android auto and Carplay?
Yes it did
Cuantos rms de potencia tiene ? En el manual mo lo encontré.. solo dice 85w max pero no dice los rms :(
probablemente alrededor de 42 vatios rms, por lo general, rms es alrededor de la mitad del máximo
I got a question. Can you screen mirror on this. Like play RUclips or something on that through your phone?
no unfortunately not with apple car play, I think it's a safety thing they don't want you driving and watching stuff
Can you change the color of these buttons? Is there an option under display settings?
I was hoping there was but I dont think so unfortunately
By any chance did you test the sound quality on phone calls when using the bluetooth? Trying to decide on a double din unit to replace my current one
not yet but will when I install it. probable not bad since it comes with an external mic
I found this radio on clearance at Walmart for $100. Bluetooth works but CarPlay would always disconnect randomly. I would constantly have to replug my phone. Any ideas on fixing it?
try a different iPhone cable
I need help wiring it can you help me ?
it's just like any aftermarket head unit, ill be making a video on installing it before too long
Have you found a remote for the radio?
I have not
Unless it fell out of the box since the shipping was horrible
@@4WheelKid I just bought mine from Walmart , it does not come with remote. But was wondering if a universal one from BOSS will work. I dont see a IR sensor in front of radio🤔
I see that you have to plug in your phone to use Apple car play. Does it charge you phone while it’s plugged in?
yeah the wireless kind is much more expensive. yes it charges it while plugged in
Where did you hook up the iPhone to Apple car play?
on the apple car play usb port on the back
Tiene garantía este producto ?gracias por el video muy bien explicado .
si, debe tener 1 año de garantia
im thinking about getting this but im hesitant to switch from a knob to a click to change the volume is there a faster way to turn down the sound. just in case a cop pulls up and im subbing to loud lol please lmk t.y and enjoyed the vid!!!!
yeah I like the knob much better as well but can't remember if there is a mute button or not. thanks!

@@4WheelKid let us know what you think :). Mine's recessed a little too
And on the seventh day the Lord said, 'Let there be music'...Good review. Is there a printed manual? Useful?
Indeed! Haha thanks. Yes there is, should come in handy
does this head unit have built in crossovers?
I'm not sure,. ill have to check, I'm sure it has one for the subwoofer low level output
where does the usb go to use android auto
Should be able to plug in a data cable to the proper usb port

Thank you very much!
Any idea how to get it to automatically turn off when the car does… I’m almost positive if I don’t manually turn it off, it’ll stay on forever😂
depends on how how you wire it, there is a constant line which keeps the clock from loosing time and there is a switched line and it powers off when that one looses power
Does it have multiple amplifier outputs??
Yes it does, front, rear and subwoofer
