Instal video? Pretty please? Amazon lists several Toyota models but not 4Runner. So I checked faceplate #, per your instructions - different on my '19 Runner. Great advice/info Jake. THANK YOU!
If I can get around to it, I will make a quick install video! I had the same confusion when I ordered mine!
Thanks for posting this. I literally just started looking into these and this unit in particular seems decent!
how's it holding up? any tips and tricks for the install or function of it now that you've had it for a few days?
It's been working really well! Its not as fast as a newer car with carplay from the factory, but compared to not having it, its great. It's really straight forward as far as install goes. Pull the trim surrounding the radio, unbolt and unplug the head unit, install the carplay unit, reverse procedure.
@@JacobD596 where did you run the USB input?
@@Skunkd I didn't use it!
@@JacobD596 thanks I just ordered it!
@@JacobD596 how is the sounds quality? did it reduce the quality?
i want to do this but I don't have a crack in the windshield.
Can I still listen to my car's OEM Bluetooth? When I go back to regular Bluetooth (not using the android unit) it shows the media I am playing - but I hear no audio.
Yes. Your phone is connected to both the car and the carplay unit. You have to pick the audio out from your phone. Like if you wanted to switch from headphones to the speaker on your phone.
So you can play music off you phone . Or you can listen to the radio. Really interested in this. Was looking at head unit but prices are insane.
They sell a lot of theses from Ali Express. They all seem the same in fact. Everything works then?
Yes it works fine! It can be buggy every now and then, but it works great most of the time.
Bro, is that CarPlay converter still working on your runner? It works wirelessly or by USB??
Yes it was working up until i traded in the 4Runner a month ago! It was both wireless or usb
@@JacobD596 Thank you, I have a 2019 4Runner, the Estero is similar to the one in the video but the code is 510413, do you think it will work for me?
