Fix Your Camry Radio For Half The Price With A HUGE Upgrade:

- The head unit in this 7th Gen Toyota Camry has seen better days. The navigation freezes up causing the system to crash and overall, the unit just isn't responsive anymore.
Rather than replace it with an expensive OEM radio, I chose to upgrade it with this one from Dasaita. This is less than half the price and features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also has its own GPS built in so you can use it without a smartphone.

Nice video. I am looking at possible head units for my car and nice to see what this company has to offer. On a side note, a helpful tip, when measuring screen size you go diagonally to get the advertised screen size. Anyways, nice work!
Very helpful, thanks for posting! The corners of the display unit stopped working in my 2014 Camry looking to swap it out.
Same with me
Seeing more & more people upgrading their Camry head unit. Confidence boost there is now 😅. Looking for 360° camera package if any. Wiring is quite a nightmare still.😊Thanks for sharing❤
Wow this is awesome, almost exactly what im looking for! I dont want to change too much with this 2013 camry se because its damn near perfection, but upgrading to modern tech that is as close to plug and play as possible is the best route imo
I think this head unit is a perfect match for the older Camrys
@CanadianGearhead I ordered the roadanvi, because it had an 8g ram instead of this 4g, but I'm wondering if it's actually a true 8gig of ram, because I can't find anything else that's close to it. And the chrome trim doesn't match for some stupid reason
Did it end up being smoother with 8gb?@@TheManic.5-OH
I have a 2015 Toyota Camry with this factory radio. But I got amps on my radio. With this system work with this.
Great video, thank you!
Thank you very much for a well done video, very easy to understand. It gives me the courage to install a similar unit in my 2012 thanks again it really was helpful and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work! Best regards thanks
love the mr2
Thank you so much pretty simple
❤❤❤
Good job 👏
My 2015 is like that. I couldn't attach my phone via bt because the touchscreen would not respond to touches in some areas but i learned the credit card trick on yt but id still want to upgrade/update soon. For now it works though
I have the exact same one. Mine never does that losing thing though. I I’m considering changing
We have the same car. The link you posted takes me to a head unit that fits up to year 2011 I also have a 2012 JBL SE can you send me the link please I need one bad. Also does the fuel usage and individual tire pressure readings still show up on the new display like the old one?
I have a 2014 SE ; will my steering wheel controls and back up camera still work as well? I don’t have the JBL system though
Are you still able to read the tire pressure and fuel consumption?!
How long would you say this full process could take for a beginner?
I was hoping you could help me. I just got a 2013 Camry Le 4 days ago it has the smallest touchscreen in it. When I found your video my hair blew back but I tried to follow your link so I could purchase one and give you the buyers fee but I noticed those only go up to 2011 or 2012 Toyota Camrys? I have a 2013 can you please give me a hand what should I do will it fit mine. I am a novice when it comes to cars and I do not know how to research this stuff
This is my first time doing this where did you get the other wiring harness
Are you still able to edit the vehicle settings using the new head unit?
Can you use the steering wheel controls?
How does your steering wheel control working without any other harness. Mine doesn’t and that’s the only thing.
Seems to me like a much shorter route for the mic and gps antenna would be to mount them to the clock unit instead of all the way around like you did
Does the radio show the fuel consumption and tire pressure monitoring system and all the other features that the original radio show?
For the love of me, I can't remove the climate control from the old head unit. Any tips?
What trim is this toyota Camry you installed this in? Se, xse,xle?
Do they have these with the CD player?
nice video, i have the same jbl problem. what harness did you get to fix it?
They had to send me one for the JBL system
But what's the wattage that the unit supplies to the speakers?
love the video really helpful just had a question can i use an aftermarket camera my car didnt come with back up camera
Yup you should be able to plug it into the video port
What trim of your car, se,xle,xse?
@@CanadianGearheadwhere did you get your wiring harness? I need the same harness for my former JBL. What’s the name of the company?
I have a 2012 Camry XLE, will it work with it? I mean Im pretty sure but just wanna make sure , my Camry won’t have the maps button on the original one
Is there an option for android to be wireless? Either this model or another brans/model?
Hey how are you still enjoy this head unit?
You could've fixed it just by updating the firmware. Anyway nice video for an upgrade though!
So Glad I found your video, I just bought a DASAITA Max 10 head unit and to be installed this Mother's day weekend. My issue is Map outdated and BT not working. I have a 2012 SE V6 w/ factory backup camera but not JBL. @9:16 those two connectors are GPS & XM radio antenna. Does this unit work with the OEM TPMS?
For some reason I'm thinking the TPMS was working with it but can't remember for sure. I'll have to check - this wasn't my car
@@CanadianGearhead Follow up: Yes the factory TPMS info works with Dasaita unit, it's even better than the original. It displays the psi per tire in graphic instead of text. Upgrading to an Android unit was easy, all plug & play, Thanks for you video, it takes the anxiety away and save me $200-400 installation fee.
@@steveofsd Glad you got it all set up!
@@steveofsdHey Steve, Im thinking of getting one of these for my camry, do the steering wheel controls work? Thanks in advance!
@@deezr01 Yes, the whole thing is plug and play. I like this unit so much I bought one for my wife's 2014 Corolla.
Does it boost the audio?
I definitely would like to upgrade my radio unit, but on my 2012 Camry le my factory speakers stopped working except for one in the back, and I was told it’s because there are some wires that are burned out behind the radio. Could you suggest how I could fix this?
My money on on the speakers being blown, they're quite easy to overdrive. But if yours has the factory JBL audio, chances are the amplifier is toast. If you had wiring issues in the dash, you'd likely have bigger problems than that.
Do they sell it? Thanks
Hello my wife has a 2014 Toyota Camry XLE hybrid and she bought the car stereo for it but it didn't have the JBL wiring adapter in it. So I was wondering did speak to the manufacturer where you bought it from and they sent you the JBL adapter or did you have to buy it separately from somewhere else?
Yes I spoke to them directly and they sent it out to me
Were you still able to keep steering wheel controls and buttons?
Yup they work perfectly
Super helpful video. Thank you for sharing. I have a 2014 Camry that has the issue with the backup camera where the head unit fails to detect the camera. The camera only turns on when the stock console stays at Radio mode and must be on and the gear is on reverse mode.. Other than that (with different mode, not radio), the backup camera just turns on and turns off by itself after 2 seconds. If I replace the head unit like you did here, will it also fix my camera problem? Thank you!
Hmmm not sure, the backup camera was still working fine on this car
So does the tire pressure indicator appear on screen to show pressure levels and fuel usage
I have a 13’ camry se with the factory system I can view tire pressure, fuel usage, alter different vehicle settings like running light sensitivity, shift to lock/unlock doors, etc. Do you have access to all of these features?
Where can I get the jbl harness
Do they make anything for our 4th gens? Currently looking at a 9" unit from Joying.
I'm not sure but I'm going to look into it. After playing around with this one I would totally consider replacing the Pioneer one in my 4runner
@@CanadianGearhead got it. Love the videos as always!
@@the2uzrunner Thank you my friend!
Where the antenna?
Currently im trying to figure out how to get the OEM backup cam to work and the steering wheel controls
Nvm all good haha
شكرا
I've installed three head units to my 2013 Camry before and the issue that i had with them was the rear view camera, only the guidelines comes in display nothing else is like im reversing blindly. I end up returning the items. Is there something im not connecting properly? My car has the JBL upgrade system as well.
I hope he can reply lol
Do i really need to use external mic and gps antenna? Do factory gps and mic not work?
I didn't test it but in theory the mic should work fine. Not sure about the GPS signal
I have a 2014 camry le without a backup camera and want to install one as well as a larger head unit like the one you show. Which is the easiest and best way to run the camera wiring into the head unit ? Does the head unit you show here have connections for an after market backup camera ?
Most head units like this one will have a video port for a backup camera
My Zlinc app says it doesn't work on a newer android? PLEASE HELP... anybody
With my factory unit I can permanently disable day time running lights and control how loud the arm and disarm beeps are (plus a few other things).... Can I do that with this aftermarket unit too? 2015 Camry se
I'm curious about this as well, but I suspect the answer to custom CANBUS config stuff is no. Hopefully someone will correct me.
Hey, I have some few questions.
1. Why can't we use the built in Factory GPS Antenna and Mic same as we are using the Factory Camera here?
2. Is there a way to move the screen, so that the buttons which are gettings cut below, I mean to say the Emergency Light button is fully visible?
Thanks
You might be able to use the factory mic etc, I just figured I might as well install everything while it was apart. No way to adjust the screen but everything works fine
I asked Crutchfield on this one, every car literally can have a different resistance on the mic and gps antenna and there is no aftermarket unit out there that will retain OEM mic/gps. I really don't like the look of them.
Yea man close the door
I have a 2012 toyota camry SE , i want this in my car . Where didi you but ut and how much would it cost
Since you have a camry should i get that or a 2011-12 accord?
@@voltagep1155I have the same car the OP said they have, it’s an amazing car that will last you forever with good maintenance… my 2012 Camry SE 3.5L v6 has paddle shifters/s mode and its so fun to drive
@@haanzen thank you. I only ask because i’m tryna get into trade school atm and i need a car that’ll last enough till I get my credit score back at a decent spot to trade it in and get something brand new.
I had 2014 SE. Great car. Nevada California road trips, never had major issues. Unfortunately, we were rear-ended and totaled. Now driving an Accord, but coming back to Camry in the future when my Accord reached 300K
@@raiyu1985would you say you enjoyed the Camry more than the accord? I’m in the same position looking for a car and can’t decide
I have a 2014 Toyota Camry and I want to take my previous out for a modern touchscreen radio. The one I have now works when I got it but can't select some options on screen when I touch it. It glitches. Don't know what radio will be compatible but my cousin has a shop and was going to pay him to put it in for me instead of the dealership. Any idea of what kind of radio I can get?
I think this one can be ordered for a 2014 model
I just bought a 2014 Camry and I have the same issue and need to replace the touchscreen. Did you end up replacing it yet?
I'm pretty sure 2012-2014 dash is the same. They changed for 2015-2017. I have the later style with a similar unit. Not terrible, but not perfect either. I've left my thoughts on it after two years in a comment here.
I replaced the LCD screen for like $12 from Amazon. Inherited the car from my Dad with 14k miles and screen had large dead spots. Watched a YT video and it took me no longer than an hour. 💪🏼
thanks!@@anonymousinc6330
Does it shows the gas mileage on the screen?
Not directly. I have a similar unit for the 2015-2017 model and there is a 'Vehicle' app that displays tire pressure and fuel info. It's not that great though.
Could you link a decent model for a 2021 Toyota Camry
Where did u get it
He left a link to it on Amazon in the video description
Anybody know the password to open developer options since it's asking me for the password?
The price tho
Putting in addresses for navigation is 💩ty on 2014 Camrys
You know you screens are measured diagonally right?
Who cares
@@CanadianGearheadyou have to care if you want it to install properly. 😮smh
How much was that kit?
half the price. jeez read the title of the video
@@GreggEddwardsHalf price of stock? How much is the stock one? I’m sorry did I annoy you? 😆
@@Nomatterwhatclub5150 lol i was just joshin
@@GreggEddwards Enough of this tomfoolery.
@@Nomatterwhatclub5150 sorry pal was just robbing peter to pay paul
I prefer the dealers entune unit.
who ever used that nav anyway?? lol My radio is even worse 2012 SE.. It changes channels on it's own randomly, then everything freezes, the touch screen becomes unresponsive and the power button stops working, the only thing that does work is the volume,.. AND turning DOWN the volume fixes everything... ?? oddly enough.
So it changes channels and it locks out the user of everything but volume and turning volume down lets you have control again.. sounds crazy right? I'll live with it... those AM units are just screaming (please break my windows!)
It's no more of a target for thieves than a newer car that comes with one!
You measure screen size diagonally, not horizontally 😂
The new radio sucks. Dim screen, slow unrefined Chinese android, no physical controls, no native CarPlay :(
Are you referring to the one that was installed in this video?
@@willymena yes
You're not fixing the radio in this video, you're replacing it. Big difference. In a fixing video, you demonstrate useful skills that help other people. In a replacing video, you cash grab by promoting Amazon affiliate links. And by posting a replacement video labeled as a fixing video, you're clickbaiting.
Why isn’t Toyota fixing this? SAD LAWSUIT
