EDIT: Also, I found a way to get the screen to turn off. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how it works, but if you go into the settings you'll find an option to blank out the screen on a timer. I set it to 30 seconds, and now it will blank out the screen 30 seconds after I have stopped interacting with the device. Music still plays while the screen is off. Any buttons, volume dial adjustments or screen touches will turn the screen
back on. I have had it not turn the screen back off some times, but it seems to generally work if you hit the home button to return to the home screen. A pretty minor thing overall. I would prefer being able to turn it off whenever I want, but I haven't really done a lot of research to see if there is some other way to make it do this. For now, the 30 second timer works good enough for me. It's still better and less distracting than having a head unit display always on the entire time you are
driving, especially at night. After much searching for a head unit for my 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited (basic audio system), I decided to go with this joying unit. It actually had the features and flexibility I would expect from any modern device that costs more than $50. It was $279 on Amazon and arrived very quickly with good packaging. For a much more detailed description, look up JY-UQ135N4G. And yes, the one I ordered from Amazon came with everything shown on the product page at joyingauto. I read the few complaints about this unit and none of them were deal breakers for me, so I figured I'd go for it. At least it doesn't suffer from any of my serious pet-peeves. I installed it a few days ago and I am completely blown away. This thing is an amazingly good value! Every time I thought of something to try, it worked so well I actually had to chuckle a bit to myself. I know the RCA outs are probably not that great, but I haven't personally tested them. Older Joying models apparently had non-adjustable high/low pass filters on them, which is an issue for anyone who plans to tweak things themselves (again this one may not have that issue), but I'm not worried about it because I intend to use toslink spdif output. For now I just have it powering the stock speakers and to my surprise it sounds significantly better than the stock head unit, despite the probably cheap internal amp. Once I get the rest of the system set up (thinking of investing in a Helix DSP Mini to get native toslink input and a top of the line DSP solution). I can't say enough good about this thing though! I'll make a list: Performance is amazingly fast for a head unit. With a custom 8-core SoC (faster than the PX5 and PX6 chips in most Android units) and 4GB of RAM, it has the responsiveness of a decent smart phone or tablet... not sluggish at all. Nearly instant startup because the device runs in standby mode from the car battery (like a tablet would, but with a massive battery supply), and it powers back on when you turn the key... ... which brings me to navigation! It appears to keep the GPS "alive" while it is in standby, because you can literally turn the key, press "NAVI" and see your location on Google maps within seconds. This is an absolutely eye-opening experience for me after using external GPS units for years, not wanting to mess with a 5-6 inch phone screen while driving and hating the clunky and slow stock nav systems in most cars. I can sit in my garage (on wifi), plot out the trip on Google Maps and download map data for any areas I might be driving through, so I don't need to be online during the trip. Physical volume knob feels surprisingly decent, with push-to-mute functionality and nice feeling detents as you turn it. The physical buttons also feel very solid. No stupid capacitive buttons that make you wonder each time if they did anything... these buttons work every single time you feel them depress. What a novel concept! I was concerned that the knob and buttons would feel tacked on or laggy since Android devices generally don't have these, but this device's operating system was clearly set up with these controls in mind. Good job Joying. :) Includes TWO wiring harnesses... and one comes *pre-wired* for ISO connectors! I only had to swap the battery and ACC wires to connect it to my 2010 Santa Fe. I didn't even bother buying a wiring harness adapter for my car's C3 connector. I'm not sure if this is common these days, but I've always had to buy a wiring harness adapter and then splice all of the connections in previous installs. This was a major plus for me. The only other wiring I had to do was cut and splice two wires from the original Hyundai "C3" wiring harness (remote control+ to Key1 and remote ground to any grounding point) to get full access to the steering wheel controls. About 15 seconds after I opened the steering control app I had set custom functions for each media button on my steering wheel. I can play\pause, skip tracks, adjust volume and activate voice search (which only works when a data connection is available I believe). It. Just. Works. Did I mention the value? Not needing to buy a wiring harness or steering wheel control converter device saved me close to $80 and a ton of time (and possibly frustration) versus going with another HU + harness and adapters. I shudder to think what HU I could have gotten for $200 instead of this. Screen isn't extremely high res by today's standards, but at a normal sitting distance it is more than sharp enough to do everything I need it to do. 1024x600 is plenty for a 7" head unit. If it reduces the load on the SoC (more responsive, less heat generated) it is certainly worth not having a higher res screen. The colors and contrast are also quite decent. I haven't used it in many different conditions yet, but I think it will do fine in my vehicle. Adding an anti-glare screen protector might be something I'll do later. It's much better than my KDC-X301's super glossy and dim screen. Options Options Options. If you're someone that likes to fiddle with things to get them just the way you want them, there's certainly a lot to offer here. I'm sure it is missing some things that Android phones\tablets normally have, but the vast majority of the settings or options I looked for were available without ever having to look up any instructions. The launcher is light weight and extremely intuitive for car use. To my astonishment, any app I tried was very easy to use in this format (landscape mode, arms-length away, somewhat low resolution). For one, Amazon Music works very well and integrates perfectly with the steering wheel controls, volume dial etc. Also, since this is a fully Android OS, if I ever get tired of this launcher I can install another one. I may even be able to root it or install a custom ROM to do even crazier things... for now it's fine though. It can multitask with no issues that I've seen so far. I can have navigation running while listing to music, and I can switch between apps with minimal interaction or fuss. I haven't seen a single pop-up notification from any app with the default launcher. But this is with a new Google account specifically for this device, so I don't have to worry about emails popping up in my car, etc. It has several features I haven't even touched yet, but would certainly try at some point, like the built in cell modem... just add a compatible SIM card with a data plan and you can be online while driving. I have no idea if Android auto works because so far it is totally unecessary for me. I don't stream music or video on my phone's data connection (I'm using tracfone BYOP with an LG V30+) so the head unit can already do everything I would want it to do with Android Auto... except it just works and does so 100% independently of my phone. Multimedia features that are super hard to find on nearly ALL head units are available on this HU because you can simply download a music player app that supports those features (which most do). Gapless playback (songs that span multiple tracks can play back without any silence or gap between tracks) and an actually functional SHUFFLE feature that doesn't repeat songs constantly. Have fun trying to find these on a name brand head unit without having to use your smart phone. Problems that may be deal breakers for some people: It wasn't compatible with the junky Metra face plate that came in the kit for my 2010 Santa Fe. The head unit is either wider and slightly taller than a standard double din, or the metra kit isn't sized properly... it'd take a lot of cutting to get it to fit and it wouldn't be worth it (Metra's discolored unfinished paint job is the worst I've ever seen on a consumer electronics product). The cheap plastic side brackets from the Metra kit did basically fit the Joying HU and it mounts in the dash securely, but the plastic brackets flexed a LOT. I wish someone made higher quality kits, but in the end, it feels solid enough once installed. I just have to fabricate some inserts to go on the sides of the HU to fill the gaps. I may even be able to mount a USB port in the larger gap on the left... which is actually a blessing in disguise. :) Some people have reported having it wipe out their contacts when they sync them to this device. I avoided this entirely by NOT signing into my personal Google account on a device that will be left outside in my vehicle all the time. With all the identity theft and fraud that goes on these days, I can't imagine leaving this thing signed into everything any more than I would leave my phone visible in a car parked outside. For what it's worth, connecting my phone via bluetooth and loading contacts in that way allowed me to make calls through my phone using the head unit's touch screen and it didn't wipe anything. As mentioned earlier, the push-button feature to talk to the device or saying "okay-Google" only works if you're online, which is disappointing (and totally normal for all Android devices), but as far as I can tell there's no way to verbally tell the device to call someone from your contact list like you would with other simpler radios. It just tries to look them up on Google. This has been a pretty fundamental thing for bluetooth support in cars for years, so it's probably an easy fix via a software update if they put one out, or there may just be something I've missed. I honestly never do this anyway though. I don't have a long commute and I never have a reason to talk to people on the phone while I'm driving. Call me old fashioned. I've had a couple odd glitches here and there, but they were extremely minor. Amazon music showed me an ad (while on wifi), then I closed it, played my music and then a few seconds later it stopped and went back to the main launcher screen. I tapped amazon music again, pressed play on my steering wheel and it picked up where it left off. Odd, but very minor. Also, I don't see a way to totally turn off the screen without stopping the music from playing. I tried an app which turns off your screen with one tap, and the Joying software did NOT like that. It basically got stuck in standby mode until I turned off the key and held the knob down for a while to restart it. After turning the key back on, it booted quickly and was fine. I don't recommend "turn off my screen" apps with this. ... other than that. I can't think of any complaints. Setup was a breeze. I'm very comfortable with computers and electronics overall, but this is only the fourth time I've installed a head unit on my own, and only the third different vehicle I've worked on in 15 years. Pay attention to the battery\acc wiring in the ISO connector for your vehicle and the rest is very straight forward. Once you've got it installed, if you can work an Android device you already know how to use this head unit. Time will tell if it is durable and is reliable for long-term use. Though I must say, unless it is extremely short lived, I would rather buy a car "entertainment system" that is a pleasure to use and hope that it lasts as opposed to spending twice as much on a more well known name brand product that has several irritating limitations which I have to live with for 10+ years until they finally put something out to compete with companies like Joying. In summary... if the cons listed above aren't deal breakers and the person who is going to be using this is at least moderately tech savvy (can use an Android phone or tablet without stressing out), I think it's a fantastic solution to give a vehicle modern features that we have come to expect from our computers\phones\tablets for 20 years... features which the big name brands refuse to give consumers, while charging exorbitant prices for outdated technology. I will update my review if my experience changes in any way. |
