If I close my eyes it sounds like Ray Romano talking to me lol. Thanks for your videos, very helpful. I put the JBL's in but didn't like them, contacted Crutchfield and they suggested the Kicker speakers and I am blown away by the sound. Love love love them so much more than the JBL's.
It looks like the company still needs to do more work to the unit ... such as better mounting, fit and finish (you can see the panel in the back of the head unit doesn't quite fit; it has a huge gap with the red clip showing). You are right, it's embarrassing to release a unit that's not quite done.
Hey. Yea, it's a bit annoying. The scene with the clips showing (17:42) are because I was in the middle of adding and removing the head unit. The gap is much smaller than that in the end of it all.
Can't tell you how much I enjoy the thoroughness of your videos. I'm trying to decide to either mount a tablet over my 2021 rav4 HU. Or go with the Dasaita unit. $500+ is steep for me but things I thought I'd lose going with that HU I will keep. Like the remote start etc. I know the toyota app somehow reads my tire pressures. Not sure how it works. Was told that the tire stems have internal sensors that send their signal to the app. Was hoping your aftermarket HU would beable to make use of those signals but guess not. Again. I enjoy your videos and don't mind the details you cover. Not sure why Dasaita has not gotten their act together on the mounting hardware. Thanks again and keep up your awesome productions!
Just installed this on my 2020 corolla sedan. Its awesome! Your install and review of the head unit helped me out alot 👍🏾 One question though. How did you set up the rear camera to turn on while driving?
I have the same car... does the Dasaita still allow you to change headlight timeout behavior? I see settings like door locks and daytime running lights in all these videos, but I've yet to see the headlight timeout setting like the OEM head unit.
@@mh23hm Short answer NO 🙅🏾♂️ it doesn't have a head light timeout feature. But i tried all 3 setting parking, auto and headlight. If you leave the headlight setting on it just does that annoying ding and a message saying turn it off. Just like the oem headunit it does have a dtr light option for on/off. I personally always have it off. When in parking or in auto the car automatically turn both off. As there is no timeout....just off. So there is no need for a timeout 🤷🏾♂️
@@FlyingGentile Damn, I love the headlight timeout feature, so I'd miss that. Not sure that's enough to prevent me from getting this though. At least it still shuts them off in auto. Did you have a timeout set before you installed the unit? Kind of wondering if it remembers the last selected setting from the OEM unit or if it defaults to something else once the OEM unit is removed. Basically, is the feature actually lost or just not configurable anymore...?
@@mh23hm No i never "really" used that feature on the old unit. I never turned it off as i always turned off the lights manually. The Dasaita did default all of the setting i had prior. For example had the drl off on the oem one, and sure enough it was off on the Dasaita. I also had the beep for lock/lock set all the way to max and it was the same on the Dasaita.
This brand in my opinion is good, I bought one for my rav4 2016 I’ve use it for almost 2 years and is working great. My last purchase was one of these for my 2020 rav4 my only issue was the bird eye view button didn’t work unless you put the Vehiculo in reverse just the actual button didn’t work and the automatic turn on of bird eye view by the sensors didn’t work as well. So it kills 2 features of bird eye view for me and I return it. Now I have the 2022 xse and I’m looking to see if they fix those issues which I hope they did because these are really good. Also they have a different version where you can have wireless apple car play which is the one I used to have.
Will or have you thought about installing the 11.8 Max PAD. I wonder if it is more complete and a better fit since it still has the knobs like the original radio equipment. Thanks your videos are so informative. Keep up the good work.👍👍
Hey. I typically only do videos/installs/reviews on things that I actually need or sent by sponsors. I am not at a point where I have disposable income to freely test everything. I'll reach out to the manufacturer to see if they want to work together though. Worth a shot. Thanks,
I got the radio I love it but I highly recommended use an amplifier it can overheat when you turn it Max power and it will shut off on high heat mode it takes A while for it to happen But I got the same speakers he installed so it's the same lineup, im installing an amp later to cut down heat build up
I would like to make a note that this model will not fit the 8” JBL upgrade model. It is made for the 7” standard screen. The unit will install, but you will not be able to use the back plate from your OEM unit.
I brought this to their attention. Doesn't seem like anything will change. The mount I did will probably be the easiest way to go. No drilling or grinding just 4 screws you need to pick up at a store.
@@Rav4Gen5 Thank you very much for you reply! I really like all of the functionality Dasaita offers and won't miss things it doesn't. My only concern is reliability in everyday use. Please let me know if you've experienced anything like freezing, slowing down - things where the unit had to be rebooted. I guess, I'm looking for a long(ish) term review. Thanks again.
Great review, thanks for posting. I'm looking for my next OpenPilot car in case I have to start commuting again. I would like a '19 RAV4 Hybrid but I either need Android Auto or Waze on the head unit. I didn't see Waze installed on yours but I'm wondering if it is because it would require a hotspot all the time. It also looks like you lost HD Radio, which is something I use all the time. I have Echo Auto, too, so I can just tell Alexa to play the radio station I want to hear, but I was wondering if you did lose HD Radio. Thanks!
I really enjoy your videos! Doesn't the Rav4 have a microphone built into the steering wheel? Is that microphone function lost? And curious if you tested mic quality on the Dasaita unit on a phone call (with and without the external mic).
The head unit has built in microphone which works fine. I don't use the external mic that it comes with. No complaints during my phone calls. As far as I know, it does not interact/work with the built in Rav4 mic. Not sure why. Might be proprietarycomplicated connectors...
Great question. I just checked and it booted straight into Nova Launcher. I did set this as my default through the Nova Launcher app. Free shipping and Free Return via Amazon. Worth a shot to give it a chance. Use link in description to support the channel. thanks,
This looks really good. If it weren't for the fitment issues I'd pull the trigger and buy this now. I'll probably wait a bit and see if they correct this.
Yes. It's unfortunate but with the mounting modifications towards the end of this video hold up really well. There is very little gap around the edges too.
Just realized I may not have an issue with the trim fit. My 2021 rav4 has a larger back trim and the HU is mounted high (it has a dvd slot at the top). So won't have to shift the dasaita down and lose the 2 mounting screw positions. Only question now is the brackets and there again, my brackets look far different from yours. Giving it some more thought but even closer now
Hello! Thank you for your videos! You have been a ton of help! Would you still recommend Dasaita? I am also looking at Teyes, but they said the 2018-2020 unit wouldn’t work with my 2021…(I know 2018 doesn’t even make sense, since it’s a different layout). But still kind of want to try to make it work. Recommendations? I
Freddie, I just installed this on my 2019 Rav 4 XLE and YES it all works fine. I can still use my phone to remote start and lock the doors , etc and it still gives me reports like where the vehicle was last parked, service due, etc. Apparently all this stuff is controlled by a separate computer independent of the head unit.
Thanks for the video, I just wanted to know when you have your car in reverse, does it give you a visual warning and location to where traffic/pedestrian is approaching the vehicle from on the screen? My current unit warns me and the car applies the break when needed. Thanks
1. What information, if any, is lost on your instrument cluster display (like audio playing, navigation, etc.)? 2. Are you able to use the touchscreen buttons on your rearview camera to change views?
Great video, I have four questions. 1. You stated you use Nova Launcher to change the interface of your unit, where can I get it and is it easy to use? 2. How are you able to see the rear view camera on your unit while you are driving? i3. If you install the front view camera will the unit display it also? 4. Are you using the Toyota hotspot to get internet access or you cellphone? Thanks
Nova launch is free in the appstore. There are many launchers to change the interface. This is a popular one with guides on CZcams. There is a built in app that allows me to see the rear camera while driving If you install a front camera, you can see it too. There is hookup on the back of the unit. I do not think Toyota Hotspot will work anymore with this head unit. I have a mobile Hotspot by AT&T but you can use your phone.
Hello, I just intalled mine yesterday so easy while watching yout tutorial=) Question? My back up camera has gridlines. How can I remove that and use the one from the Dasaita unit so I can use the steering wheel function? Because on yours I cannot see the gridlines that I have like blue lines. Also, is your calling bad also? like the other person can hear a loud noise? the engine noise etc? While talking to my brother his telling me it's noisy. Also the unit they sent me it's already the vivid 11 os, different ports on the back also. I got it at amazon designed for the 2019-2023 rav4. Hope you can let me know. Dasaita support gave me link to get the update, it's like they are saying the call/mic issue will get fix by updating it? I never use the extra mic because it sounds the same.
Thank you very much for the video, I really appreciate it if you can answer my questions. 1- Is the unit with the wires is plug and play, I mean did you had any problem when you plugin the unit to the car adapters ? 2- When you are driving and play youtube or any video from different source, can you maximize it to full screen ? 3- Is this unit will fit to Rav4 2019 XLE ? whitout any wireing and conection problem? Thank you
1. It is plug and play. You can see install video czcams.com/video/JG_-qWOD1ww/video.html 2. You can go full screen while driving 3. It probably will fit. Look at my install video and check the back connectors to see it matches yours.
Do you know if it's possible to wire up the Rav4 mic to the headunit so you don't have to use the mic provided? I'm in Australia so we sit on the right-hand-side of the car. This means I'm too far away form the mic on the headunit itself.
Hi! This is an interesting product. Where can I see the reviews on this product? How long has this product been in the market? Does it carry a warranty? Can I or anyone install this unit without screwing up the wiring or Toyota warranty on the audio system. Thanks for the video.
Thanks again for the detailed info. Maybe you experienced it? I just installed this on my 2021 Toyota Rav4 Prime SE. Everything seems to work fine, chrome, youtube, playing home-made vids from USB, backup camera, etc. The problem I can't seem to figure out is the steering wheel controls. I tried to access it through the settings, from the vehicle menu and even from that Icon labeled "Wheel Key Study"...the one on your video at the 12:30 mark. But no matter what I get to the last screen that says "Press Steering Wheel Buttons" with two options Reset and Save. But it won't allow me to go anywhere to change any settings at all. I've double and tripled checked the connections on your video here and the other one of the installation and all connections are good. I can control volume, access menus, play apps on the Android unit, but not able to "Assign" any steering wheel controls. I don't think it's the Android unit itself, but maybe I'm wrong.....Any ideas or suggestions? OOH...by the way...didn't know how to post the pictures or anything, but going off your idea of "Securing the unit with the brackets". I didn't want to drill any holes into the Android unit in case I have to return it in the future for some warranty and run into problems........ so What I did was use thin sheet metal, similar to the metal used on ordinary gutters. very thin metal that you can cut easily. Anyways... I cut a strip not wider than 1 1/2 inch, cut a strip about 11inches long. Drilled a 15/64 inch hole, run the strip up one side, over the top, and down the other side and secured it using the original bolts. It secured it very tight. I didn't know how to weld or anything, and was easy to put on and cut up the thin sheet metal. Worked like a binding strap over the radio and it didn't interfere or damage anything. Just be mindful when cutting it, the edges are sharp, but where it will be place it will not cut into any wires or anything dangerous, it's the person cutting the strip that might get hurt. It took me three times to get the proper strip length to secure it to where it would not move to get it right...but sheet metal was cheap. and if someone is worried it might "Cut" something, simply pad it or wrap it in some soft cloth or leather. Keep up the good informational vids. JT
@@Rav4Gen5 Hey buddy...thanks for the info. At least now I know the factory settings to get in there. I did see the Camry & Rav4 settings you mentioned. Checked those, rebooted, still nothing. Tried other variations to see if it might help and even tried the Canbus option, like they say in the Army...."It is a NO-GO at this station".... I'm not really sure if it has to do with the way the RAV4 Prime is designed since it's an electric hybrid. But I am returning the one I bought...then will repurchase again in another week. Overall...as you said..it is a really nice Android unit. I had an Atoto Android Unit before in the past on my other vehicle..and configuring it was no problem. I'll see in another week when I reorder it and will post it here....Just in case one of your viewers/subscribers run into something similar. Another option I might try if the "New one" comes in and the steering control still doesn't work is maybe just purchase a Universal Wireless car Steering Wheel Controller, ALLOMN Car DVD GPS Player Steering Wheel on Amazon. It's not that expensive and I'm not gonna let a simple "can't access" the steering wheel control get in the way.....LIke anything else in life...nothing's perfect...just have to deal with what ya got. Keep up the good work. Take care and Stay Safe. JT
I would help you more but I am away from my car until June 22. I had the exact Same problem as you and so did someone else and we were able to figure it out.
@@Rav4Gen5 hey... You're cool. No worries. Thanks for thanking the time to reply from your busy schedule... I'll keep trying until I find something that works as I still am getting that Dasaita unit. Take care and stay safe
I'm installing same Dasaita head unit on a 2015 Camry. The head unit appears identical to the one for your RAV4. I'm running into the same issue of not having a mounting bracket, but I think I can make something work by drilling holes on the original bracket. Would you happen to know if the screws you used (Size #8 - 3/4) if they would fit in the bigger holes on the side of the radio? Those holes appear to be slightly larger than the vent holes and they also seem to have the grooves for a screw to go in them.
I do not know. If you rely on the head unit to know the status of the battery, you might be losing that information. I think there is a link to the phone to display the information from what I found here. czcams.com/video/AZhcx2QMT4M/video.html
Hello, you dont really loose usb port. I am using mine for carplay/android auto. I have the headunit with built-in wireless carplay but sometimes I am using it and it works fine. Try maybe connect the wires again with another port.
Thanks for the comment. I check just now and still no success to have android auto with USB port below climate controls. I use same cable to connect to Head Unit with Head Unit USB and it works. Are you sure you are plugged in and not connected via wireless carplay?
@@Rav4Gen5 yeah, I am sure. I remember from my manual that all three ports should work fine with android auto, but only one with carplay. Do you have built-in Apple Carplay? Maybe bacause you have different version that option is not working. But I dont think that’s it. Maybe your cable which connects headunit with usb port in rav4 is broken.
I have 2019 Rav4 limited version which has the front camera. Which wire would I connect to make my front camera works. I only see the reverse camera rca cable. Have anyone try this ?
I got one more question On the mounts on the original stereo and on the mounts you put on the aftermarket stereo they're oriented differently Does the stereo align straight and strong just like the factory would have? I just got the radio i hope i like it.
Does the Remote Connect services still work? Similar to the safety connect question. I know the OEM head unit initially had a code it generated to sync, though Toyota connected it last time without it. I feel any connected services may be lost.
I have a 2018 rav4 with factory camera, i installed this desaita system , now the backup camera is kinda blurry, you know why is that happening? Can i use that hdmi for the camera some how?
I am not sure what could explain the blurry camera. The hdmi is for sending video signal out of the head unit to a different display. You can use the other auxiliary video input that is available. I am working on a front camera install so you’ll be able to see it there maybe.
Hi, I noticed a premium 11.6 dasiata with 1920x1080 resolution that is available. Does it have the same other features as the 10.2 and does anyone have any experience with how it fits?
Please correct me if I am wrong, but the way I see it, I'll lose more than Sirius Satellite Radio. I'll also lose safety connect and remote services (remote door locking and engine start). Also while I'm at it, where does this unit get it's data feed from? does it feed off of your phone's data connection somehow or do I have to have a WiFi hotspot on my phone to connect it to wifi?
You lose satellite radio. (You can download siriusXM app probably) I do not know about safety connect or remote services (I would assume you lose it). The engine start and door locking still work through the remote. You need to use your phones wifi hotspot or something similiar.
@@Rav4Gen5 Just installed this on my 2019 Rav 4 XLE and am very happy to say that Safety Connect and Remote services work perfectly fine without the OEM head unit!!
@@carloslara9813 it does, no issues at all. I've had mine installed now for almost two days and it is still sending me updates about my Rav 4. I also checked to make sure that the door locks and remote start worked through the Toyota connect app, and it too works perfectly.
I installed Dasaita 10.2" head unit on my Toyota RAV4 2014 but I am hearing constant vibration noises when I am driving. it seems the unit is not perfectly secured into car, any advice?
No. The gap is not there. I was installing and removing and didn't realize until after I stopped recording. Look at the early recordings time of that video and you'll see what it looks like. Very little gap. Only towards the end I missed it.
@@Rav4Gen5 thank you so much. and one more thing is. is there any way we can use the head unit like a mirror kit. because the unit itself doesn't have data (unless we have wifi for it) but wifi hotspot is limited. I would like to use netflix on my phone and export it to the head unit. and I saw on website of dasaita. on the Information of the head unit I saw they have 4G and 5G. is that true. dose your head unit has 4G connection? and I have after market remote start. would it be a problem with the remote start when I install the head unit. once again. I really appreciate your time to answer my question
Dasaita provided me this product. It chose me before I could chose them. I am not familiar with ATOTO A8. Are you sure it is compatible and will fit in the same place as OEM unit?
@@Rav4Gen5 No you know that Toyota start up screen When you start cranking your car for the 1st time does it have a start up screen like your Toyota factory one does It has the Toyota emblem in it
It might be possible. Pull the head unit out and see the ports. Might need a different canbus. There might already be options for the Corolla out there with similar install proc

I do not think Toyota Hotspot will work anymore with this head unit. I have a mobile Hotspot by AT&T but you can use your phone.
Terrific install...
Hello, I just intalled mine yesterday so easy while watching yout tutorial=) Question? My back up camera has gridlines. How can I remove that and use the one from the Dasaita unit so I can use the steering wheel function? Because on yours I cannot see the gridlines that I have like blue lines. Also, is your calling bad also? like the other person can hear a loud noise? the engine noise etc? While talking to my brother his telling me it's noisy. Also the unit they sent me it's already the vivid 11 os, different ports on the back also. I got it at amazon designed for the 2019-2023 rav4. Hope you can let me know. Dasaita support gave me link to get the update, it's like they are saying the call/mic issue will get fix by updating it? I never use the extra mic because it sounds the same.
Thanks man good job
Thank you very much for the video, I really appreciate it if you can answer my questions.
1- Is the unit with the wires is plug and play, I mean did you had any problem when you plugin the unit to the car adapters ?
2- When you are driving and play youtube or any video from different source, can you maximize it to full screen ?
3- Is this unit will fit to Rav4 2019 XLE ? whitout any wireing and conection problem?
Thank you
1. It is plug and play. You can see install video czcams.com/video/JG_-qWOD1ww/video.html
2. You can go full screen while driving
3. It probably will fit. Look at my install video and check the back connectors to see it matches yours.
@@Rav4Gen5 Thank you so much 👍
Do you know if it's possible to wire up the Rav4 mic to the headunit so you don't have to use the mic provided? I'm in Australia so we sit on the right-hand-side of the car. This means I'm too far away form the mic on the headunit itself.
Hi! This is an interesting product.
Where can I see the reviews on this product? How long has this product been in the market? Does it carry a warranty? Can I or anyone install this unit without screwing up the wiring or Toyota warranty on the audio system. Thanks for the video.
Great video and info
Thanks 👌 👏 👍
do you know if you would be able to use the usb connection to tether to your phone for 4g data? or is the tether only for android auto and charging?
Thanks again for the detailed info. Maybe you experienced it? I just installed this on my 2021 Toyota Rav4 Prime SE. Everything seems to work fine, chrome, youtube, playing home-made vids from USB, backup camera, etc. The problem I can't seem to figure out is the steering wheel controls. I tried to access it through the settings, from the vehicle menu and even from that Icon labeled "Wheel Key Study"...the one on your video at the 12:30 mark. But no matter what I get to the last screen that says "Press Steering Wheel Buttons" with two options Reset and Save. But it won't allow me to go anywhere to change any settings at all. I've double and tripled checked the connections on your video here and the other one of the installation and all connections are good. I can control volume, access menus, play apps on the Android unit, but not able to "Assign" any steering wheel controls. I don't think it's the Android unit itself, but maybe I'm wrong.....Any ideas or suggestions?
OOH...by the way...didn't know how to post the pictures or anything, but going off your idea of "Securing the unit with the brackets". I didn't want to drill any holes into the Android unit in case I have to return it in the future for some warranty and run into problems........ so What I did was use thin sheet metal, similar to the metal used on ordinary gutters. very thin metal that you can cut easily. Anyways... I cut a strip not wider than 1 1/2 inch, cut a strip about 11inches long. Drilled a 15/64 inch hole, run the strip up one side, over the top, and down the other side and secured it using the original bolts. It secured it very tight. I didn't know how to weld or anything, and was easy to put on and cut up the thin sheet metal. Worked like a binding strap over the radio and it didn't interfere or damage anything. Just be mindful when cutting it, the edges are sharp, but where it will be place it will not cut into any wires or anything dangerous, it's the person cutting the strip that might get hurt. It took me three times to get the proper strip length to secure it to where it would not move to get it right...but sheet metal was cheap. and if someone is worried it might "Cut" something, simply pad it or wrap it in some soft cloth or leather.
Keep up the good informational vids.

Settings > Car > factory settings > 126 >
Check that canbus is 08 Camry & RAV4
And
Swap key is normal
I think I played with those settings.
@@Rav4Gen5 Hey buddy...thanks for the info. At least now I know the factory settings to get in there. I did see the Camry & Rav4 settings you mentioned. Checked those, rebooted, still nothing. Tried other variations to see if it might help and even tried the Canbus option, like they say in the Army...."It is a NO-GO at this station".... I'm not really sure if it has to do with the way the RAV4 Prime is designed since it's an electric hybrid. But I am returning the one I bought...then will repurchase again in another week. Overall...as you said..it is a really nice Android unit. I had an Atoto Android Unit before in the past on my other vehicle..and configuring it was no problem. I'll see in another week when I reorder it and will post it here....Just in case one of your viewers/subscribers run into something similar. Another option I might try if the "New one" comes in and the steering control still doesn't work is maybe just purchase a Universal Wireless car Steering Wheel Controller, ALLOMN Car DVD GPS Player Steering Wheel on Amazon. It's not that expensive and I'm not gonna let a simple "can't access" the steering wheel control get in the way.....LIke anything else in life...nothing's perfect...just have to deal with what ya got. Keep up the good work.
Take care and Stay Safe.

I would help you more but I am away from my car until June 22. I had the exact Same problem as you and so did someone else and we were able to figure it out.
@@Rav4Gen5 hey... You're cool. No worries. Thanks for thanking the time to reply from your busy schedule... I'll keep trying until I find something that works as I still am getting that Dasaita unit. Take care and stay safe
You have a Data Communication Module on your car. ? Still working with this radio ?
Hello from France, Thank a lot for your video, I hope more information about your solution for keept the native USB
When watching CZcams or any streaming service, can you cast or mirror from your phone? I'm not always connected to wifi or have a Hotspot.
I have not seen the option to mirror my phone. Looks like it might be possible. czcams.com/video/GP7KCnMicuE/video.html
I'm installing same Dasaita head unit on a 2015 Camry. The head unit appears identical to the one for your RAV4. I'm running into the same issue of not having a mounting bracket, but I think I can make something work by drilling holes on the original bracket. Would you happen to know if the screws you used (Size #8 - 3/4) if they would fit in the bigger holes on the side of the radio? Those holes appear to be slightly larger than the vent holes and they also seem to have the grooves for a screw to go in them.
I just installed mine but I am hearing too much static when I make a phone call via head units Bluetooth
Thanks!
Might you know how this would work with a PRIME? Specifically the screen with the power allocation (electric/hybrid modes).
I do not know. If you rely on the head unit to know the status of the battery, you might be losing that information. I think there is a link to the phone to display the information from what I found here. czcams.com/video/AZhcx2QMT4M/video.html
No physical knobs is the deal breaker.
Hello, you dont really loose usb port. I am using mine for carplay/android auto. I have the headunit with built-in wireless carplay but sometimes I am using it and it works fine. Try maybe connect the wires again with another port.
Thanks for the comment. I check just now and still no success to have android auto with USB port below climate controls. I use same cable to connect to Head Unit with Head Unit USB and it works. Are you sure you are plugged in and not connected via wireless carplay?
@@Rav4Gen5 yeah, I am sure. I remember from my manual that all three ports should work fine with android auto, but only one with carplay. Do you have built-in Apple Carplay? Maybe bacause you have different version that option is not working. But I dont think that’s it. Maybe your cable which connects headunit with usb port in rav4 is broken.
That link is good for 4th generation rav4
The Data Communication Module on my rav4 hybrid 2020 will still work with this radio?
Yes, works fine, see my reply in previous post.
I have 2019 Rav4 limited version which has the front camera. Which wire would I connect to make my front camera works. I only see the reverse camera rca cable. Have anyone try this ?
Does the clock sync with the instrument cluster?
Does this work on the 2024 rav4? Just buy one, and I don’t like the custom head unit
Can u test another one So we can have a comparison , Toyota start up screen
I got one more question On the mounts on the original stereo and on the mounts you put on the aftermarket stereo they're oriented differently Does the stereo align straight and strong just like the factory would have? I just got the radio i hope i like it.
I don't think the mounts between my Rav4 and yours is different. Everything aligns straight and back into place just like the original. Let me know.
@@Rav4Gen5 thank you radio is coming in mail soon
Does the Remote Connect services still work? Similar to the safety connect question. I know the OEM head unit initially had a code it generated to sync, though Toyota connected it last time without it. I feel any connected services may be lost.
I think any connected service is lost. My subscription expired and it will not be renewed. Never worked properly anyways.
Thanks for the video. What is the hdmi cable for?
I have a 2018 rav4 with factory camera, i installed this desaita system , now the backup camera is kinda blurry, you know why is that happening? Can i use that hdmi for the camera some how?
I am not sure what could explain the blurry camera. The hdmi is for sending video signal out of the head unit to a different display. You can use the other auxiliary video input that is available. I am working on a front camera install so you’ll be able to see it there maybe.
Tks for the fast reply
Can you still change the headlight timeout behavior after turning off the car?
Hi can that fit on my 2018 rav4 and how much it cost
They sell one for that model year. Follow the link in the description. Installation is different but I would guess functionality is the same.
Another thing my wheel key memory thing dowsnt do anything ?
Hi, I noticed a premium 11.6 dasiata with 1920x1080 resolution that is available. Does it have the same other features as the 10.2 and does anyone have any experience with how it fits?
Does it support wireless android auto? Thanks for the vid!
Hi. There is no wireless android auto as far as I know. Some report there is wireless carplay but I'm an android guy =)
I have a 2020 corolla version of this headunit and mines supports wireless android auto 👍🏾
Does this show battery usage for Hybrid cars??
Please correct me if I am wrong, but the way I see it, I'll lose more
than Sirius Satellite Radio. I'll also lose safety connect and remote
services (remote door locking and engine start). Also while I'm at it,
where does this unit get it's data feed from? does it feed off of your
phone's data connection somehow or do I have to have a WiFi hotspot on
my phone to connect it to wifi?
You lose satellite radio. (You can download siriusXM app probably) I do not know about safety connect or remote services (I would assume you lose it). The engine start and door locking still work through the remote. You need to use your phones wifi hotspot or something similiar.
@@Rav4Gen5 Just installed this on my 2019 Rav 4 XLE and am very happy to say that Safety Connect and Remote services work perfectly fine without the OEM head unit!!
@@FinkworldTravels this was my only concern. If safety connect still work with that radio i will buy
@@carloslara9813 it does, no issues at all. I've had mine installed now for almost two days and it is still sending me updates about my Rav 4. I also checked to make sure that the door locks and remote start worked through the Toyota connect app, and it too works perfectly.
Hi its compatible for RAV4 trail 2019 Canada model..
I installed Dasaita 10.2" head unit on my Toyota RAV4 2014 but I am hearing constant vibration noises when I am driving. it seems the unit is not perfectly secured into car, any advice?
Have you tried the method I did in the video with some screws? I have no issues night now. Could it be all the wires?
Any insight as to If you have the 360 view (birdseye) cameras does this still display those? Is your's a Hybrid??
it can support the 360 view (birdseye) cameras
@@Dasaita do you need any other equipment or cables to make this happen or does it work right out of the box?
At 23:13 I noticed there's still gap on the head unit and the back cover.. It's suppose to be like that?
No. The gap is not there. I was installing and removing and didn't realize until after I stopped recording. Look at the early recordings time of that video and you'll see what it looks like. Very little gap. Only towards the end I missed it.
Hey.
How about the grafic showing the hybrid motion , showing battery and engin working power.
I do not have a hybrid so I don’t know how it is. You might find other videos that have a similar head unit on a hybrid to learn more.
@@Rav4Gen5 ok thanks for respons.
Am I able to use a usb sim card dongle to add sim functionality to the unit?
It is designed to accept sim card capability but I am not familiar with it.
Anyones dasaita reset their fm saved presets or driver side speaker not working at times 2019 rav 4 😭
on the head unit has a HDMI port. can I use that HDMI port connect to my phone and export video from my phone to the head unit?
Hi. I believe the head unit hdmi only sends out video signal. Not receive. I will try to check
@@Rav4Gen5 thank you so much. and one more thing is. is there any way we can use the head unit like a mirror kit. because the unit itself doesn't have data (unless we have wifi for it) but wifi hotspot is limited. I would like to use netflix on my phone and export it to the head unit. and I saw on website of dasaita. on the Information of the head unit I saw they have 4G and 5G. is that true. dose your head unit has 4G connection? and I have after market remote start. would it be a problem with the remote start when I install the head unit. once again. I really appreciate your time to answer my question
Hi there, i have the same unit and i can't figure out the split screens. Do you happen to know how?
I never tried it and didn’t know about this feature. I think there might be other CZcams guides that cover this for all Dasaita.
@@Rav4Gen5 i just found it now, you just press and hold on the 2 screens on the top right
Do you have wireless CarPlay?
Yes it does
@@Rav4Gen5 thx for the answer, ok so the system that connect a Toyota Car to the internet are not mounted inside a original Head Unit.
This I do not know.
Why did you go with this rather than the ATOTO A8?
Dasaita provided me this product. It chose me before I could chose them. I am not familiar with ATOTO A8. Are you sure it is compatible and will fit in the same place as OEM unit?
ATOTO S8 10" will fit.
@@richardpereira7611 What model exactly fits the RAV4?
It's on the back plate there's a large gap how do you fix that
See my 2nd video on this head unit.
@@Rav4Gen5 ok
What's up with that ugly gap behind your radio?
Bad recording on my part. The gap is not there in the end. You can see some of my later videos and catch very minimal gap.
Is this compatible if I have an iPhone or only android?
Both
Will this work with a 2021 Rav4 Prime?
It should be compatible but I am not sure what features you may lose since it’s a prime and not a hybrid/gas
The item its not available

Does this System keep all the factory console settings?
I haven't noticed anything missing. Anything specific i can check for you?
@@Rav4Gen5 fpr example, vehicle customization, Alarm feedback sound volume
Does this radio have the Toyota start up screen
I believe some of the newer ones start up almost instantly. Like it only went to sleep. Is this your experience?
@@Rav4Gen5 No you know that Toyota start up screen When you start cranking your car for the 1st time does it have a start up screen like your Toyota factory one does It has the Toyota emblem in it
Is this compatible with Rav4 Prime?
You’ll have to remove your head unit and compare the size and connections. I am not sure.
Does it come with built in DSP?
Yes
I want to do this for my rav4 but the price of the too much
I have one to sell. Used for 2 month.
Can we install corolla 2020
It might be possible. Pull the head unit out and see the ports. Might need a different canbus. There might already be options for the Corolla out there with similar install proc
Will this work on the 21 hybrid?
It can install on all 5th generation rav4. I am just not sure of the hybrid features that will or will not carry over.
@@Rav4Gen5 ty for replying
Hi,Where Buy?
See description
Will this fit my 2021 rav 4
Yes
@@Rav4Gen5 u sure lol 100%
You can open the back of your head unit to confirm compatibility. There is a wire harness for all the inputs
Are you interested in selling your stock head unit?
No. It’s an expensive piece and I may need for any warranty claim.
Don't watch movie and drive. It's dangerous and costly when caught by police.
"$529.99 + $239.23 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to Canada".. i would get this if its a little bit cheaper.
Price is good, shipping and import fees not so much!!!
Hello?
Where did you get the head unit?
Amazon. See description
Great videos man. But you seem to really like putting cheap shit into your RAV4.
This is a Rav4 channel. If it's relevant, I try to make a video. This product though is the best item so far.
