Follow me on IG for my wrx stuff : JK.WRX
I wanted to compile a list of my favorite apps i have for my android car head unit. There are definitely a lot more apps that are a bit more technical and hard to get but this should be a good quick start to get the apps they need.
1.) Car Launcher
2.) Spotify
3.) Google Now
4.) Viper4Android
5.) Google Maps (I like Sygic and tomtom but these cost a bit more mula)
Thanks for watching!

Awesome Video, I got RSNAV for My Audi A4 B8 a few months ago and I love it!, I think IGO is a cooler interface as it shows the motorway signs etc and 3D buildings, however Google Maps gets the job done quickly! I'm currently trying to see if its possible to install a K.I.T.T Knightrider Module but proving difficult to find :/ Know of any ideas mate? Also Check out my Content!
Perfect timing! I just got this head unit...NICEEEEEE
get google now!
Oh!! Local video, with Sac Kings and Antelope, good vid my guy!
Used your other video to help me install a head unit on my accord now video is just as good
Thanks, love your video. Just upgraded my stereo and your video was very helpful.
That song never gets old, great review!
thanks bro!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I'm going out right now to try it on my JVC kw m730BT. I used the iDatalink Maestro with it where as I gained the performance pages, engine codes, climate controls and all that fun stuff all integrated on the screen. Super kick ass. Waiting on getting the K40 radar jammer that is also integrated. Anxious to see how that goes.
How funny, my home Google answered from your voice on the computer.....lol...….got the weather for today!
HAHA
My Google responded"i don't understand "
That's the best looking launcher I've seen for cars.
agama 10x better
Do you use an external mic for the head unit or are you using the built in mic on the front of the head unit?
Really nice vid, thanks .
how do you find the call sound quality on these head units? I understand they use the default mic on the unit rather than the cars installed one......and the head unit mic is not great quality for the listener. Can you please let me know how you find it?
hy john! i really like your youtube videos, really professional and clear. i have an alfa romeo 159 and i would like to change my head unit witch is a boring parrot asteroid smart (2 din) i saw the dasaita head unit the 10.2 inch with pivot display. do you think i t will fit good in my car? do i need a new front plate or can i just take mi old one build on my parrot? thnak you and keep going man!!!
How do you get the car logo when you turn the car ?
In order to use spotify do you need a sim card for the head unit? I'm trying to find a radio and I really only use spotify at this point so this would really be exactly what I want, just trying to figure out the data while driving part of it
How did you get the radio icon to show on the dash? It is not in the list of apps from the app drawer? Please let me know.
Thanks!
That Google Now demo was awesome. If you're on the road or away from WiFi, will it use data from your phone or will you not be able to do that unless you're in WiFi?
you are the best! thx from italy
thanks so much i was worried you couldn't get google maps or spotify, i'll be sure to use all your reccomended apps in my new android system!
Glad i can help!
Hi John, Is it working with 2017 Honda Pilot or do I need to have a phone with mirrorlink? Thanks.
I really liked this video, I can't wait to get my Android unit. I ended up going with the Joying. Another thing is the Waze app for navigation, been using it and it's awesome. I also love having Torque. Especially going to the track and having the engine vital displays. John do you live in Nor Cal?
86fanatic yeah I live in norcal. Now that you mentioned it I should get waze over Google maps. I'll do some testing
86fanatic let me know how you like the joying. Probably get one for the brz
Will do. I will make a video when I get it and install it. Hopefully in a week or so.
what year do you have again, get the CAR LAUNCHER APP! it's worth the 3 bucks.
the 2016 have a weird trapazoid look for the radio. lol
I have a 2015 Series Blue.
I have Car Launcher Pro and loving it. But how can you get it to display radio stations on home screen?
Does viper 4 android work on the vertical 21.1” display running android 7.1 ?
Great Video .. the launcher OMG
Hello. I also have Viper for Android installed. But some features are missing like Viper bass, I think it's because the app thinks that it is using the phone speaker. Do you have that issue?
Hey John question is all the steering control function works on that andriod unit
How do you get the launchers on your head unit? I have a pioneer 8200 and it just goes to Android auto
Any with subwoofer and amp control with rcas for the amp just got the new dasaita px6 can't get my amp to turn on or show up on panel display
Ok my car is super old so what universal head unit would you suggest? It's a 2002 Infiniti G20....
Do they have this unit for 2017 Honda accord Sedan 2.4L ???
Are there any up dated head units for the 2016 Forester to check out? Any links to where they sell them?
wondering which car launcher you used there are several on play store?
Sorry if it sound dumb. I have android DVD player but how do I install this into my car player? Thx
default launcher had FM radio but I can't find it in this launcher. do you know how to add it? doesn't show up in apps.
Do you have any apps that can play an audio when I start my car? Like, when I start my car, the sound plays automatically
I have similar multimedia ... why don't the buttons on the left light up ? Power, Vol. Up, Vol. Down, Home...
one thing, can you use gps without WiFi or MobileData? and is it good?
hey john, where can i found info on this unit everything i google is in reference to joying unit? i need to root it and just make it better.
I'm having trouble getting Netflix, direct TV, etc to play on my unit. I've downloaded chrome, and Firefox, changed settings back and forth from mobile to desktop, tried to download adobe flash player, etc. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this issue. Have you heard of these issues, is so can you help?
any idea on how to upgrade firmware? i have an android head unit for Audi TT and the android system is so old
Anyone know how to view the backup camera without reversing? Using a canbus, not reverse brake light wife
bro what type of head unit can you recommend for my 2015 wrx
where did you buy yours I really like it
it's in the description !
Hi
How hard is it to install viper4 android on it ?
Also i have c500+ and i cant pair gamepad controller via bluetooth do you know how its can be done ?
You think Lyft app can be added on the radio?
Compré un estereo para carro Android, requiero internet en el estereo para usar las funciones como GPS?
Just installed Car Launcher Pro. Holy shit the stock launcher was slow compared. I thought the unit was slow and it was the launcher that just slowed everything down. Best 3 dollars I have spent in a while
Yeah, now that you mention it, it does feel very fluid!
it very cohesive with our cars!
Awesome video dude... Maybe a bit of a NOOB quesiton - but in order for you to use Spotify & Google Maps, you obviously have to be connected (unless you can download stuff Offline which you showed), but my question is - how do you connect to the internet? is this through your Phone? Via USB, or Bluetooth, or Wifi? Or does it have it's own Simcard?
no worries man,
yeah i use my phones hot spot, in this video i was in the garage of my house so it used my wifi
Is Viper worth the time? The DSP on my eonon already has so much to improve sound quality.
31 band eq
loudness
delay
bass boost
HP/LP
Sub Out Levels
Stick to dsp bro
ive installed viper4android, but it doesnt install drivers by saying your device is not rooted. Any solutions?
I was looking for an alternative to listen radio because my radio antenna is not very good. I found an awesome app called 'Radio Transistor' (it's free). It allows us to add any radio channel we want and the cool thing is that we can navigate through the radio channels using the buttons on the steering wheel.
Hey bro does this use internet or will it work without it because i have the same issue with my radio
What unit can you recommend that I keep the urinal functionality of my car (subaru forester 2017 turbo). I mean all the voice commands functions, the original camera works and all the buttons on the thymus steering wheel
yes, it keeps all the settings. Voice command sucks on the starlink. Good is much better
Youre just gonna blow your speakers
those 5 apps i never use , but Android 7.1.2 Ga2168 Eonon 10.1" and SWC interface ,, and for good quality sound i use the DAB+ :) heng on dab+ is coming over there soon as well i guess
turn the god dam music off while talking 😡
sorry about that man, i'll keep that in mind for next time
Robbie_L_B chill bruh 😂😂
Robbie_L_B Foreal man, chill. I can hear him just fine even with the music in the background.
After me upgrading to atoto a6 for my frs the sound quality went bad so sad.
I finally got my Joying head unit installed. Bought the car launcher pro. Love it! Any other suggestions?
How do you get Google Now to work with car launcher pro? It doesn't seem like it's working on my Joying HU.
hey I bought the 5.1 version from the aliexpress link you provided, you do find the screen quality lacking on the passenger side? on mine, the picture is great from the drivers side and center, but if you sit on the passenger seat, the picture quality is horrible.
the viewing angels aren't very good. I noticed some units have different viewing angles.
Is there an app that give better music settings?
The atoto settings suck
Top tip. You will not need a Dab+ aerial if you are streaming from a mobile. It could save you £30
I managed to buy a Unit with Blue tooth and GPS for £60 sent from china. It works great in a 20 year old jimny. I run facebook and youtube off it.
can you make a new video icluding px6 android tesla style dd 1032 sistems ?
I see it's $500 something . Is this one different from the one on subi speed. Sorry I'm an apple guy and don't quite understand all the android stuff
Hi! Do you need a data plan or something in order to use apps like spotify or google maps? Do you need a wifi hotspot in order to use those features? Appreciate your help!
yeah you need to hotspot for spotify and google maps.
Google maps does include offline maps but i dont really use it anymore.
Waze is better
Theoretically I could download the google maps for my area while sitting in my garage on my home wifi and then never have to download it again, correct? What if I wanted to download multiple areas? Is that possible?
Compatible with what car?
Any suggestions or advice for a good Volkswagen CC 2014 Navigation?
if your vw supports double din, check this one out

Hi John, I see in your video that you live in Antelope as I do (Watt x Elverta also.
I'm looking for the appropriate Android Head unit for my 2007 Dodge Durango. Do you have any suggestions for the best brand unit with the most features.
Hey Neighbor!
Yeah, i would check out these ones
www.seicane.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=durango&acc=45c48cce2e2d7fbdea1afc51c7c6ad26
See if the shape is similar to the one you got robert.
Is dasaita a good android head unit
How to reset this devise
Xtrons PCD77MTV-CAM007
how do you have internet on your radio?
Would this work with the dasaita 10?
Google maps on an android head unit is horrible for one giant glaring reason, the offline map selection is four times wider than it is from top to bottom and there's no way to change it. If you need a north to south route, it's not possible beyond a very short distance. Horrible oversight by google and they will not address this issue.
You can download multiple plans now
How did you change the top bar color to red? Mine remain black but I want it to look nice like yours.
somewhere in the setting of the car launcher. It's there!
You said you had root your unit to use the launcher. Any specifics to the rooting process? I have a VW and it’s looking like joying has the best unit for my car (android 8, octacore, 32gb rom, 2 or 4gb ram). Any advice for rooting/customization?
Look into kingroot, it's pretty easy.
is anybody else having trouble playing netflix on Android 5.1, it loads up my netflix home page but when i push play on a video i get a error 0113 something like that anybody that can help thanks
i might have to check it out when i get mine back
I plan on buying the subispeed v2 android head unit. I have an iphone, I assume I could still plug it usb and play music through my apps on my phone or whatever right, or is it only playable via bluetooth?
You should be good with your ipone
6:16 If I was hungry I would not go to McDonald's... LOL
do you have to connect this as a hotspot to your iphone for spotify? or is it all done over bluetooth?
you can just have spotify run on your phone through bluetooth like any other car.
i hotspot because i like changing songs on my head unit
Has anyone has like a slightly static noice when playing music only via Bluetooth?
Can you still use the functions on the steering wheel with the headunit? (mainly volume changer)
YES!
I have Android Auto. How do I get Carlauncher on screen. Do I have to uninstall Android Auto?
can you use apple carplay with car launcher?
Good Stuff bro! thumbs up 💯
thanks!
Does anyone know how I can get the viper4android?
I think you need to come down to SoCal and we'll install this bad boy, lol.
:)
hi, can u tell me which one is the best Android head unit for 2015 STI, cuz I saw u posting many and I got confused from where should I order and what do I need ..
the one from aliexpress for like 260 is the one i would go for
did you bypass the stock firmware screen in order to have the car launcher start instead? if so how did you do it?
all you have to do is enable it through the menus. Should be in android settings
Cannot get any of these. Are they on 'cracked'. Cant get that either
Any good off line Google Now alternatives that work on the head unit? Unless you have wifi all the time google now does not work. I want to be able to use voice recognition but all apps seem to require data access.
You can connect the head unit to your phone via bluetooth and use 4G connection for that
Let me rephrase are there any offline voice recognitions that do not use data?
Get a unlimited plan or hangout at McDonald’s
There are a few Android apps for voice command hands-free dialing, assuming your phone supports Bluetooth. "Tablet Talk" and "Smart Voice Dialer" for example. Neither needs internet access.
+GameOn i have unlimited data with att they don't want me to take advantage so i can't use my phone as a hot spot :(
Am looking for an AUX APP to connect my sirius radio but can't find any on android head unit, any suggestions?
It should come pre installed if you dont have it your radio cant do it
Nice
just wondering, Do you experience a lot of lag like I do on these units?
it's a lot snappier than the oem head units.
Does it have anything that interfaces with the OBD? Car data would be pretty sweet in there.
you can buy a bluetooth OBD from amazon or ebay for 10bucks. and you can hook that to your android head unit using the torque app via bluetooth. it will show some meters, temps and so on. its pretty cool to monitor even your air and fuel mixtute.
your brother got the 2016 wrx right? if so does the reverse camera work for him?
his a 2015 base head unit.
Is there a link to the specific launcher?
how about normal head unit controls like fade / balance amp gain for lows mids highs. is there an app for that or how do you access this stuff from this head unit?
yes there are those options.
Its within the settings menu
NICE!!!!!!!!Does your reverse camera still work with this head unit?
YES! I have a 15 so its on the top! so i'm not sure!
John Nguyen Kool, hmm?... I wonder with this head unit is it possible to enable the rear view camera for the 2015 WRX since this Android unit is an OEM unit made to work in stock Subaru vehicles correct?
muzaq27 i bought the android HU from subispeed.com. i am compiling videos right now. Monday ill be finished with my full system install.
the thing is you have to tap into the harness, i know a guy makes a kit for the aftermarket head units, i'm sure it possible.
John Nguyen in my video i cover all the spe ial wiring required for the 2016 and up. i have a 2017 premium. i even shout you out in the my video for the inspiration in my discussion to purchase this unit.
did u update your cell to the new android 7?? I can't connect via easy connected app. are you having any issues
it's still on 4.4 which honestly is still fine
Wish it was stable for me. I bought the Car Launcher Pro for my Android 5.1 head unit and it hangs on startup about 40% of the time, requiring a hard reset to get it to load successfully. I switched to Nova Prime and zero load issues in over a month.
that ridiculous, yeah my friend has the same issue with his mustang. the canbus crashes on his.
i guess it either works or it doesn't. He tried everything
Hey man, i bought mine from Aliexpress waiting on arrival, i have a 2017 premium manual, if i want to connect the rear camera what do i need to do? Buy an adapter? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
not sure, i never install this puppy on a 16
Just out of curiosity if I have the Harmon Kardon, would the audio still come through?
i have the hk package and it works for me
what is the name of the Car Launcher app?
Car Launcher Pro
Would Harry's Lap Timer work with this?
YES!
