- My fellow Automotive Fanatics and newly acquainted Lexus CT200h Fanatics, I welcome you to my channel for another DIY!
Today, I will be showing you how to install an Android based Navigation and Infotainment system upgrade into your CT200h. This system was purchased from a manufacture from China and my initial impressions and use are mixed.
To cut right to the chase, here are my 3 top likes/dislikes about the unit:
Likes
- large 10.25” widescreen display, mapping looks great on it
- android based so you have the potential to download and install different apps
- full touchscreen
Dislikes
- very expensive
- manufacture did not include any directions so it’s not DIY friendly
-buggy and quirky software, some apps work, others do not
If you’d like to skip ahead:
- center console removal and headunit removal: 2:54
- main screen removal: 6:57
- wiring configuration & wire routing suggestions: 10:52
- android display installation: 11:43
- up setup demonstration: 13:13
- final thoughts & comments: 22:55
Since the manufacture did not provide directions, installation was a challenge. I had to jump back and forth between different sections while removing the unit several times.
My video will not have the “flow” that you’re use to, so I do expect a TON of questions. Feel free to post your comments or questions and I’ll do my best to help you out!

Most helpful video ive watched in a while, will be upgrading screen to this one for sure now
I'm glad you were able to get some use out of this video. Cheers and good luck with the future install!
what a wealth of DIY information clearly step by step thanks
Thanks for watching and the support! I am glad my video is able to assist you.
Great video, thank you! Definitely changed my mind about getting this. No joystick support, no steering wheel control when using the music on the unit, and that 1+ minute boot time.
Dima, let me clarify a few things for you:
- joystick only works when you "switch" back over to the OEM menus
- volume/track up/down work with new system
- boot time is indeed long
For what it's worth, I was also able to get my Android Auto to work correctly. Now I am able to have my messages read out loud and can reply. I will do a quick follow-up video soon.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Oh track buttons work on the new system? That's actually a big relief. Joystick not working is annoying, that screen is far away. Android Auto is super important so that is great too. But great to know that steering wheel track buttons work with Android Auto. My mind has been switched again haha.
@@Haloruler64, correct...when I am listening to music, I can track up/down, as well as change the volume. Getting Android Auto to work really renewed my interest in the unit. One of my original needs, was a system which had the ability to display my text messages as well as reply to them. Now I am able to drive much safer. And another bonus...when AA connects, it pulls Google maps right into the "drive" mode which is a huge improvement over how Google Maps is now. The drawback though, it's it's not the "full-featured" Google maps, rather maps designed for AA.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Awesome! I wonder how that works if it's just aux, how does it do tracks?
Yeah I have Android Auto in another car and love it, would LOVE to have it in the CT. Can't decide between this unit or that mod from BeatSonic on the standard tiny display (where steering wheel track controls definitely don't work but the joystick does).
Subbed to you, looking forward to future content.
@@Haloruler64 sorry if I wasn't clear Dima. The upgraded unit uses the AUX feature to play sound. When in the AUX, you are able to move from one track to the next with the up/down wheel controls. Volume also works too, which is nice. Deciding between this unit or the BeatSonic is tough...for me, the price difference was worth all the features the Android unit offered. You can download apps (some do not work correctly though) and there's no denying, that screen size is immensely more enjoyable than the OEM screen. As an added benefit now, my AA works so I'll continue to play around with it and see what else will work.
Professional and detailed, very helpful for installation.
Were the bugs shown fixed?
They have bad customer service with no installation instructions and keep saying professional installer dont know what they are doing. I am gonna follow Peters video to the T and take plenty of pics as they will not refund the money you paid for this expensive unit.
@@buffedasian Did you ever install this unit?
Thanks for honest review. I do own 2012 ct200h with factory unit and as many just don't like entertainment system comparing to this what we can get in modern cars .
But the first thing I noticed in video is poor fitment that is noticeable. Also only touch screen when using Android. All that could be compromised if the price would be more affordable as the price stands out like premium product .
The buckle you're seeing on the left side, is a result of me not removing the metal bar underneath. I was not aware of this until much later after the install. I have since then, remove the bar and reinstalled the top bezel plate. It fits perfect.
Regarding touchscreen, you're correct. It only works with Android Auto or CarPlay. Once you get into the OEM menus, then the cursor takes over.
This channel is so epic, great everything... New subscriber
Thanks for the support tliksa10!
Great job
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching and the support.
Thank you for sharing !
Thank you for watching and the support!
Great product was having troubleshooting but now it’s working perfect super fast I really recommend it makes your car look much better and the rearview camera is much more clear and big picture
It's not a perfect system. Some people will like this version, some may like the OEM. It's not for everyone.
So how did you get the cable release to let go all the cables on the bottom of the center console so you can get it out of the way and clean it up
This is amazing so much information and basically almost everything I needed to know thank you so much for this video I do have a few questions though. Within the Android UI, besides the 2 gauges shown, does it have any other readings at all? Battery? MPG? Other car service related info? Seems kind of pointless to have to go back to the original menu to get those readings. Once again thank you so much. I'm legit about to buy ! Lol
Thanks for the support and watching David. Regarding your question about extra gauges and functions, no, the system will not display anything else aside from speed, RPM, and miles left in the tank.
Hello, love your video. I must be very close because almost everything is working except sound and the rearview camera. The aux button is greyed out for me, did you ever experience this?
Also is the default rearview camera supposed to work with this system?
A recent viewer indicated that they had similar issues. It turned out that they did not fully connect every thing. Make sure all your plugs are connected. As far as the review camera, it functioned like OEM.
Hey Peter, I just got my Android HU for my CT today. Thanks for your help with the video.
Where did you route and place the MIC and GPS units?
Roth, if you're asking about the GPS antenna, it was mounting underneath and inside the dash. As for the MIC, I did not use it because voice was captured from my cell phone.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic ok thank you!
I just finished installing my Android HU on my 2013 CT. I routed the mic and GPS antenna behind in the roof liner.
One more question if you can help. The backup camera does not work for me. The seller says I need to tap a red wire to supply power to the camera. Did you have to do the same?
***UPDATE***
There was no need to wire up anything. I just had to go into the settings to setup the head unit to use the factory camera.
@@xprohx I love it when you find the answer by playing around with the headunit. Congrats on a job well done!
hello, do you still recomend this unit? if so do you have a link for this? thank you
So I have this setup… but mine doesn’t have an aux option 😂 welp hopefully I can figure it. Thank you for the informational video!
Your OEM setup does not have an Aux option?
I have the same thing in my Audi A3 and it works great.
@Marcin, as I mentioned in my brief demo, it definitely has little software glitches. And for the life of me, I cant figure out why sometimes audio will not connect the first time. Have you noticed any glitches with yours?
I installed one in my S3 8v and works good, I haven't sound problem. It's always connected to AUX Input and i can switch into AUX / CAR MÉDIA just by press the (*) touch on the MFST.
The only annoying thing is that the sound volume of the Android system is lower than the original car system, so I have to turn up the sound louder than normal and when I return to the vehicle radio system i'm surprise as it's extremely loud !
I thing your Lexus main unit don't accept the AUX input automatically when you start your car and you must switch yourself ?
@@maximebentz7371, I believe you can adjust that in the android system menu. I had to play around with the android unit's volume to closely match the Lexus factory volume levels.
Did this unit auto dim or do you have to manually make the adjustments every time?
This particular unit auto-dimmed.
thanks for the vid, but do you know of any radios that will give you usb outs, 4v+ pre pots to run sub along with internal crossovers to set everything ?
Hello Mike, unfortunately, I do not know any aftermarket radio that will provide a high amp output like that.
thanks! You seem not mentioned the lost functions for example steering wheel controls - if you lost them then it is upgrade or downgrade?
You're correct Joe, I do not mention much about lost functionality. In some cases, this project is an upgrade, but at the same time, it can be a downgrade as it all depends on what's important to you.
So since you're using the additional provided harness to do the power and instead of using there's two plugs that don't get plugged in that were there before and you're using the harness for those two I don't know what happens to those I'm disappointed or scared that I'm going to lose the use of my USB and 3.5 mm headphone jack that I used to connect my telephone to my stereo in my CT200H
How the hell can you find the table to remove the top bezel when you've got to vent tubes coming up through it and there's nowhere to see
Hi do you know if there are screws/mounting point for the bottom bracket for the screen? I’m in the middle of installing this and it doesn’t look like there are anywhere I can mount the bottom bracket to. Thx
Sorry for the late response. From what I can recall, no, there are no screws that hold in the bracket. It's all clipped in. The top bezel will end up snapping in place and will securely hold the monitor.
Hello. After the installation of this android unit, is there any audio different with the stock audio system? Is it better or worse? Thanks
That's a great question MC T. You would think that because the speakers and amplifier remains the same, sound quality would not improve. However, I do notice a difference in sound quality when I run music off of the Android side.
The Automotive Fanatic how was factory the reverse camera? Is it work too?Is the back up guidelines showed while your turning?
Does the sound go in thru the aux port and if so, how is it? Is it low / poor quality, or similar to bluetooth? i.e. do you have to turn the volume in the car way up to hear decent audio?
Yes, sound was played through the AUX port. From what I can remember, sound quality was not bad. It was still clear and vibrant.
I have a Lexus CT that has the "entrance" for a screen, but my car has not screen. Am I able to install one like that? (Installing the screen, plus the navigation thing on the middle console)
Hello there, I am not sure what you mean by "entrance" for a screen but you CAN add the big navi screen into your dash. You will need to cut an opening out.
Did you get the unit that has 8 gigs of Ram
hi! do you know where i can get the cutting template for my car to install this unit? my ct200h doeasnt have the factory screen on dashboard so i assume i have to cut the dashboard.. can you help me please ?
Hello Emrah, unfortunately I do not know where a template can be found.
Love the video, you’re a better man than me, my brain 🧠 overloads at the thought of trying to fiddle with certain things, I’ll gladly pay professionals to install my audio/video gear 😅. I’m sorry the head unit sucks tho.did you ever end up replacing it with something better?
Manufactures stop making a progressive setup like this.
You're lucky that yours came with the right stereo so you can plug it right into the CD I had to take out the amp which was below the CD player in order to connect maybe they gave me the wrong harness but it was not the right size to enter the back of the radio /cd player
Hi, is it possible to install on 2013 model lexus ct200h? Thanks.
Yes it is!
Does the backup camera still function?
And do you have to wait until the head unit loads the OS before the backup camera is works?
Yes, the back up camera still work...the moment you shift into reverse, it turns on. There is no need to wait for the Android system to boot up.
Do you recall if the back up camera picture was clear? On our factory unit, the color of the screen appears yellowish. Thanks!
Great video! Just purchaed a 2012 CT200H premium and I am wondering if there is an Apple compatible verison of this head unit?
Check out AliExpress or eBay. There may be a newer unit that allows CarPlay.
Can a 2012 ct200h that does not have a nav system be upgraded to stock plug n play system?
Yes, you'll need to cut into your dashboard.
Can you help me I got this head unit for ct200h but I got front and reverse camera.Can you help me how to install both camera in this head unit
Go ahead and email me @ petervanvu@gmail.com
so the factory aux and usb wont work anymore?
Zay The Banana, because the new Android unit takes up the Aux input, it would function on that. As far as the USB input, it would still work.
great video man! I have also installed on my CT200h same android monitor, and to be honest the touch screen is a major setback. Would be great if Lexus remote touch could also be used for the android monitor but there is no compatibility between the two. I also have version7.1 of android pre-installed and was wondering, if you got the version 9.0 would you be able to send the link as to download it? Highly appreciated! ..and as for using the screen remotely (without touching fingers or so) I tried a wirelessly connected mouse...it does work..but not sutisfyingly .
Hello EV Port, it's been a couple of years since I had this system so unfortunately, I have no OS updates to provide you.
Has there been any updates to speed up boot time? Do they allow wireless CarPlay? An updated video would be great
Sorry Alexander, I sold the CT a while back so I do not have the ability to provide a long term review.
I have one of these installed but can't get it to play music through Bluetooth (song plays but no volume). Have tried playing with phone volume and knobs. Any other options?;
It's suppose to play through the AUX connection. Did you hook it up that way?
I just got one of these headunits it’s currently on android 12 with a newer snapdragon in the next couple weeks me and my buddy will try to install it
Please report back once it's installed. I'd like to see what kind of changes have been made.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic I’ve already installed the new system, it’s almost the same installation process as it was with this one. The newer screen allows for CarPlay and android auto wired and wireless and is extremely snappy and fast, the screen is oled now too and allows for better screen graphics. Only cons on the device is the backup camera since it has a 5 second delay before it shows it, and the audio system becomes dumbed down using CarPlay but it can be fixed by just connecting to CarPlay and multimedia.
@@Endo240 this is awesome feedback for others to see. The system I had, had plenty of glitches so it's refreshing to see yours is working better.
@@Endo240what’s the boot time of a new unit?
I have the exact unit in my 2012 CT200h F-Sport. Couple of things I noticed with mine. My car didn't come with the OEM NAV display and head unit. Mine came with a 6 disc changer head unit, and a storage unit where the screen should be. Because of this, the wiring harness didn't attach correctly so I had to get a tech to get me a power line to power up the screen. Also I noticed you had to screw down the left side corner of the bezel. Mine too sticks up there and will not push into place! I purchased mine with the CarPlay optional adaptor and it works ok, but for audio and streering wheel controls to work, I have to use Bluetooth.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for your feedback Jason. I found some of your comments online and used them to determined if I wanted this unit or not, so.... I much appreciated what you shared before! After screwing down the left side of the bezel, I complained to the manufacture and they told me what I had to do to correct the left side (remove the metal bar underneath). They will also send me a new bezel. When the unit works correctly, it's definitely an upgrade to the OEM setup. However, when the quirks flare up, it can be annoying.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic damn they sent you a new bezel?? Does it fit right? Yeah I agree, it's definitely an upgrade! I've got a Carlinkit Wireless Carplay adaptor coming so I'm going to test that next week!
The CarPlay adaptor from Carlinkit works great with this head unit! My iPhone connects to the device via Bluetooth. A small APK has to be loaded into the head unit first, but after that it was really easy to configure. And you can keep using the steering controls via Bluetooth. With the wired CarPlay kit that came from GPSDVDNAV, I had to constantly stop the playback and then hit play on the Lexus stereo to get audio working. Not anymore!
@@jasonhoddinott9413, I do have the plug that allows me to use Android Auto, but I have not had a chance to fully incorporate it into my setup. The new bezel is expected within 10 days. Once I receive it, I'll dis-assemble some of my setup and see if I can get the car link working correctly. I've also noticed that in the Cali sun, the display/brain is no match for heat. It will occasionally reset when it's hot.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic I sent an email to support yesterday and they sent me a picture that I should take out the horizontal metal bar that's under the display. I did that last night and it fits like a glove now. No need to replace the bezel!
What happens with old stereo? It’s still working and just hanging out there?
The old stereo works just like normal.
Where did you buy your android system?
www.dvdgpsnav.com/blog/10-25-touch-screen-lexus-ct200h-android-head-unit-gps-stereo-upgrade/
Thanks for the video, really considering this but seems a bit overpriced. Do you know of any other unit for a ct200h that has Android auto? I also would mainly use it for navigation purposes, and would way prefer Google maps than the stock navi
Joshw604, in my opinion, it's not a cost effective unit. However, having that large screen and being able to run Android Auto with Google maps is wonderful. There are other comparable units on eBay, but I do not know how good they are.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic cheers! good to know
Thanks for your sharing!
But is this one can use CarPlay?
The newest version has CarPlay and Android Auto.
Do you know who actually manufactures these units? I’ve seen many different sellers on amazon and eBay selling what looks like the same thing.
Tyler, I do not. It's possible that the vendor I purchased mine from, puts them together because the performed quite a bit of QA testing on it.
can I use my joystick to control ? I have 2017 CT200H
Mikado, unfortunately, you cannot use the OEM joystick with this setup.
Does the backup cam work with this?
Yes, the OEM camera setup worked fine.
does this work for me if i don't have a monitor but do have a glove box?
I believe you have to cut out the opening.
How much it cost u and also does your car have reversing camera in your car attached to this
This item was several hundred dollars. I understand, it is not cheap so it is not for everyone. The OEM reverse camera worked with this setup.
Can you share the link to where one can buy this unit from? Also, does this unit support Apple Car Play? Is it wired and wireless Bluetooth compatible?
There are a few different links on eBay ad AliExpress. I recommend buying one with the latest Android software.
I have a 2010 Lexus hs250 I have a front and back camera so why kinda aftermarket is good for my car
Hattie, I don't know which aftermarket unit would be best for your car. Have you tried looking at some Lexus HS250 user groups to see what other think?
What is the brand and model of this equipment? Link what or ali express?

Yes it will.
I have a CT from 2015, will this work with the original mouse controller ?
Unfortunately no. The mouse only works when the system is switched over to the OEM menus. Once you switch over to the Android side, you lose that option. You can though, still control volume and track up/down.

No, this unit does not tilt and close. It remains upright all the time.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic thanks, amazing video and comments :)
Has the android version updates made this system any better please
Anthony, unforunately, I no longer have the CT so I cannot comment on it. I will say though, I have seen Android 10 and it looks good.
So do I have to have a wire plugged in to my 3.5 mm headphone jack. I didn't buy this to have to go and block up the jacks that are already in my car that's how I currently connect to my stereo in my car I don't want to have another plug plugged into that if I didn't have that what would they do they should have had it in the wiring harness to connect internally and not have to go through my 3.5 mm headphone jack. This is a disappointment
Yeah it’s a big flaw. But you could use the OEM Bluetooth for sound, that’s a partial solution.
How’s the boot time of a new unit?
have there been any software updates? I'm getting this installed soon.
No kalyan3. If you pick up a new unit, it will probably come with Android 10.

I have mine for sale I bought it but I crashed my car . Interested in buying ? Never got to install it still in box
@@20ISH-TRUCKDRIVER Is it still for sale?
Another problem is with the MIC . When you receive a call , the other person hears echo off is voice . It mutes the music when you answer a call , but when you hang up , you cann´t hear music again - you have to restar andoid to be able to hear music again. Also on the stearing wheel , the up and down volume buttons , when you press the volume down it increases the volume rather then turning it down . The UP button works well
Thanks for all your feedback Victor. I would have to agree that the old system was not user friendly. I would hope that the newer generation of devices work better.

Your best bet might be eBay or AliExpress.
Does this car has Wired car play from the factory let me know thanks
At the time the manufacture came out with this unit, it DID have wired CarPlay.
Thanks a lot for your reply I was thinking to buy CarlinKit Wired CarPlay/Wired Android Auto Adapter so I can somehow get CarPlay on the screen I was told if the car has wired CarPlay then it will work.
The screen itself and the start up animation looks good. However, everything else about it looks cheap. I wonder if anything has changed and if they had made any updates? Especially for the price.
I have seen current models for sale and it seems as though the software has been updated.
shall you give the link for the system you used?
The vendor I used, stop selling these a while back ago.
You're lucky I had to follow instructions L to connect the wiring harness power line to my amp which is beneath the CD player. Then I had to hook the original power line to the female side of the harness connection 6. Has the male side of connection 6 went into the back of the amplifier. I finally figured out the backup camera to work with the original but that took away the lines that it was supposed to give me. Yeah I still do not have sound if I'm in the Android side I have sound if I'm in the original car system side where I can go and do navigation in there although it's awfully slow and I can do the radio in there which is also awfully slow which is strange considering I have 8gb ram. But as soon as I move into the Android side and I try and go into my ways I can't hear anything I can't hear anything on CZcams I couldn't find a place to stick those or connect those AV cords yellow and red ones I thought there was a line that was supposed to get a line that runs to the 3.5mm headphones jack but I don't see it
this is cool ， where can get this？
what is the name of the display screen?
This is just an updated navigation screen for the CT. You can find them on AliExpress.
Hi congratulations for you video it’s awesome. Please can you help me I will try to install this screen en my Lexus and I have installed but I haven’t sound I have to connect the aux jack in my car if I want to have a sound. It’s is this or I don’t connect anything. Thank you for advance
You have to connect to the car's AUX jack.
Yes I know this but my questions is there aren’t any way to connect this.Without jack?? Thank you again
@@miguelsanchez2368 Unfortunately not. From my recollection, the system is set up as an external product. The only way you can hear any sound coming from it, is to connect it directly into your CT sound system. Unfortunately, it's only option is the AUX jack.

This will work in a 2011
how can i order one lile this ? i own a 2016 Ct
Tordatfalvi Ciprian, I do not recommend contacting this manufacture for the unit. My suggestion is to check out eBay and make sure you get the one designed for the CT with the newest Android OS.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic thanks a lot
where is you store?
I'm sorry, I do not have a store.
Once you unplug everything from the center console you'll need to turn the plastic so that the little eyelet that holds the cable onto the center console will release
You can always put a third-party car launcher on your Android if it's moving too slow or crashing you can put Nova launcher and there's several other launchers for the car
Did you put a a third-party car launcher on your Android unit ?
The launcher is locked
Hi! Thank you for the tutorial. Where can I find and buy this unit?
You can give www.dvdgpsnav.com a try.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Too bad I can't find the unit on their website.🙁
@@rawandonlyraw they have it. Did you order it?
@@rawandonlyraw You can check it here: www.dvdgpsnav.com/blog/10-25-touch-screen-lexus-ct200h-android-head-unit-gps-stereo-upgrade/
The Automotive Fanatic Hi there, how is the unit working right now after the update? does it have problems with the aux sound having you to turn the car off and on and what about youtube bug when turns off by itself?.?... i’m planning to purchase it for my 2012 ct very soon and i want to make sure it’s worth the money and time Big fan of your work!!
I bought one of this units for my 2013 ct200h 7 months ago before I got into an accident with the car it was totaled never got to install the unit on my car still have it till now ..couldn’t send it back to the seller I don’t know who to sell it to
i’ll buy it off of you, i’ll pay for shipping to. hmu on ig @tommythan_
See, someone already offered to buy it! If Tommy does not, join the CT200 group on FB. Someone will buy it!
@@tommythan7136 still waiting for your reply on IG
are you still looking to sell it?
@@rawandonlyraw yes I’m but I don’t know how we will work it out .because the last guy that texted me wants me to ship it first then he will send the money when he receives it but I can’t risk doing that
Too many deal breakers to purchase this unit. That would be aggravating to wait for that slug to boot!
I'm with you...the boot delay is painful. Thankfully, it's been a few years so hopefully there are better units out now.
Has anyone ordered one of them from dvdgpsnav lately? Any improvements? Newer AA Version on it? Does the mouse finally work with AA? Thanks
Renato, dvdgpsnav is where I purchased mine from. According to them, it's still the same AA version without any improvements.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic okay thank you 👍👍👍
The part where you are removing the head unit you don't explain very well I only saw five screws after I remove the plate staggered I remove them and I don't see any top screws that you're talking about
I marked all my wires with tape so it will be easier when I'm reassembling. I put the name of what it was attached to so that I will know where it goes back to
I wish you would have showed us the backup camera
Hey Steve, I see that you've attempted to tackle this project. How is it going? I can't be too much help because it's been a few years since I went through this entire install.
Dove si può trovare in Europa questo schermo?
I'm sorry, I do not understand.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic where can you buy it in Europe? how much does it cost? how much will the installation cost? Thank you
@@TheAutomotiveFanaticWill the device have its own updates to remedy possible errors? Tanks
@@pincopallino1429 Unfortunately it does not have Over The Air updates to resolve any type of issues.
I am looking to buy one for my ct, you have a source where i can get it? (Europe)
How much sir ? And where can i buy this ?
It’s about $500-$1000
I have mine for sale I bought it but I crashed my car . Interested in buying ?
Wow so high price
@@20ISH-TRUCKDRIVER Still for sale?

Make sure you're ok with all the quirks of the system before you spend your hard earned money. This unit it's cheap.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic What are the quirks?
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Thanks a lot! I see that you responed! I just ordered one a few weeks ago! :)
@@joris1354 take your time to install it and make sure ALL the wires are connected properly.
Now there's an option for Snapdragon CPU with 8 gigs of RAM and 64 or 128 gigs of ROM
But will it boot faster… there’s no video of the new units anywhere. Also: the snapdragon cpu they use is years old
My God, stock is better for sure. I'd prefer to keep the whole mechanism intact and just replace the GUI
This setup is not for everyone.
I have the same navigation system and the system is shit. It dont fit well, poor quality and it is slow
This system does have it's quirks.
Hi Automotive Fanatic, thanks so much for your videos. I’ll be purchasing this unit but would be grateful if you could elaborate on the quirks you mentioned, to see if any are deal breakers. For example, shutting down when it’s hot outside; having to press multiple buttons to get the sound to switch on? I’m using CarPlay but assume the issues would be the same as AA. Thanks!
