  • 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!

    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.

    • @TheAutomotiveFanatic
      @TheAutomotiveFanatic  Před 4 lety +5

      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.

      @@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.

      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).

    • @TheAutomotiveFanatic
      @TheAutomotiveFanatic  Před 4 lety +1

      @@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.

    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 .

    • @TheAutomotiveFanatic
      @TheAutomotiveFanatic  Před 4 lety +1

      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 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

      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 !

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!

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

    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

      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

      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!
