This is the best of both worlds. If you like your entune radio and want to install apple carply or android auto to your Toyota 4Runner, Then this product is for you! It has worked so well thus far! You can get this unit from Beat Sonic USA and it's good for SO many Toyota models. You can put Apple carply/Android auto in any 2014-2019 Toyota vehicle with entune 2.0/2.5 radios. From Tundra to Camry! The only difference with installation is going to be, where you put all the wires! I hope this video was helpful and educational! Thank you for watching!

Very very cool product for those who really enjoy that OEM functionality. You can do a double din and the T9 for carplay or andoid auto..But a double din always has so much plastic about the bezels IMO and the T9 carplay doesn't work nearly as good as this! But you do get bigger screens with those options. So many choices..

Jon, quick question. You mention that the quality is similar to the backup camera. How does it compare to the original entune radio? To me the original is acceptable, but I don't think I would be able to tolerate any worse than that. Thanks!
Tad worse but very similar
I just can’t believe... all that wiring harness for screen mirroring, it’s crazy
Great Review as always John … $500 US Dollars … that’s a little pricey, but love the idea that it keeps the OEM Look & Feel.
My guy killing it with the videos! Love it man.
Try to be!
OEM is always superior imo. Those complaining about price: this is still 1/3 the price of the Alpine Halo and is still OEM for everyday use and resale value on your 4Runner. 👍🏼
And others are praising the halo as well.. Thank you for pointing that out!
If I wanted to sell my 4Runner, I could put the factory head unit back in, but WHY would I ever sell my 4Runner?
Jon...you're awesome. Your uploads makes the world slightly better place!
You are awesome. Thanks!
@@TRDJon do you still have this installed?
Thanks for the video! That's a lot of $ for that feature but Toyota didn't leave us with any good options. I'm with you about the less than clean install of aftermarket head units. If they sold it for $300 I'd buy it, but for $510 I'll pass.
Just got my first 4Runner yesterday! Looking forward to all the mods and accessories in your videos. Will be getting the led interior bulbs delivered from Amazon tomorrow. Thanks!
Congrats!!!!
Caveat: screen sucks and can’t skip songs. Lol oh, and it costs a kidney.
That's a cheap kidney! Black market???
Sweet upgrade. Keeps the stock look, but has more bells and whistles than factory.
Yep. The best of both worls in my opinion.
Thanks for the video Jon, I've been waiting on this one. I like this unit but like others have already said it's way over priced to just add one feature. This just seems like it should be in the $200-250 range. I personally just couldn't justify it being so close in price to a nice Alpine or similar HU. Maybe not the Halo9 but a lower unit. Still much better then the junk T9 though! Thanks again.
Of course!
Hey jon enjoy your vedios I just got my 2020 Trd pro in black so far I am loving it other than the new features u just cant beat toyoto quality something u just feel in driving it !
Congrats!!!!
@@TRDJon thx very much jon .
This looks awesome!! Can’t wait to try it out!
OEM and simple. My favorite man
Good idea, but the price is too high for what it does. For a bit more I can get a new head unit with a larger and better screen. If it was half that price, I would probably get it.
Yea i'm not sure all what goes into it for that price. And the T9 is a little more but people ate that up! But this honestly performs better. At least for the carplay.
@@TRDJon So you are saying the T9 is not that good?
You have said there are a lot of issues with this one like steering wheel controls, display quality, etc and it is close to the same price as the T9, but you say this is better. Can you explain that to me?
Yet again, another fantastic review!
I apreciate it man!
Great video Jon! This would be my choice out of everything. Like you, I am very much an OEM guy, and this would fit the bill for me the best.
Thank you !
Why Toyota Corolla S 2015 model have no navigation and car play ??? How to install carplay on 2015 Toyota Corolla S
Just be warned these are made by a Korean company and sold under several names now. It is not bad at all, but I had one and it didn't work well in my 2017 Tacoma with JBL. I got a black screen and never could get the picture to come through. Also, my XM radio function went away with it connected. They said it was more than likely the harness being at fault, but I didn't want to deal with it any longer after that and returned the unit.
hmmm who was the other company?
Great vid bro. Also seeing Big Pun and Ja Rule on your spotify playlist made me chuckle lol
Hahaha 😂😂😂
That's pretty cool man.
It's pretty sweet!
Thanks for the great video. I did want to ask, why choose this type device over replacing the head unit with something like Pioneer DMH-1500NEX? I believe you can get add-ons that make it work with your steering wheel controls etc.
I just don't like all the dead plastic space with a double din radio and the 4runner
Man Toyota should update its old Entune to support Apple car play and android auto .
Hello ToyotaEntune people are you listening 👂
I wish they did. But seeign this system, I think it would hav ebeen very hard for them to.
So this is 4 years old. What do they have that’s new and better to add apple car play.
Excellent video!!
Can you listen to Pandora or Spotify while running Waze? Will you hear turn by turn? Also same scenario how would you skip a song? (Switch from Waze to Pandora or Spotify and hit the seek arrow, then back to Waze?)
Dumb question; do you need to have Waze and Spotify downloaded on your phone to use them with the head unit? (never had Apple car play in any vehicle but see those apps in a lot of car play videos)
Yes you do. Same with google maps or amazon music.
I don’t know; I really want ACP but that much $$ is a big chunk of the UCA replacement budget...
Beat Sonic’s installation video has them installing an external microphone for Siri and voice controls. Has that mix been removed from their system?
Yes correct. No external mic needed now.
@@TRDJon I think that sells me on this one. I was considering the Alpine Halo or T9, but watching a few videos on how to install the mic and knowing it's up there dangling around made me not want to bother. This solves that issue. Thanks for posting the video and the honest review on the T9!!
Of course!!
Does this hinder you from playing your radio while using CarPlay because of it utilizing the aux input?
No you can play radio and use it but the sound of car play won’t go
what am I missing, why not just use bluetooth? I never used car play so what will car play do that BT wont?
I really want that OEM+ speaker upgrade for the 4Runner I spec’d one out with both subs and extra amp holy $$$. It is sweet though have you seen?
I've seen it yes. Trying to work up to a status so I can try it for you all, because yes it is alot of coin. I just did a DIY upgrade and if it wasnt for youtube, i would have been perfectly ok upgrading just the front door speakers.
Thanks for the review, was looking forward to an outside opinion on this system! Do you think this is preferable to the T9? Still seem to be some QC issues on the T9, and I think I like the idea of keeping it OEM.
Ima make a video on that probably tomorrow for you all. I've been asked that alot in these past few days.
So did ya do that vid yet??? Any updates would be great.
I have not I apologize. I’ve been very very busy
How does it work using waze and playing music?
How does this product affect sound quality???? Thanks for the feedback and great video
No difference at all
Do you know if there is one for the 4th gen 4Runner? I have a stock navigation and want to keep the look but would love CarPlay
$449???? Just get a better aftermarket radio with a bigger screen for that price.
I just hate the way a double din looks with all that 4runner plastic that surrounds it.
Can you listen to XM and run Waze on the screen? Or due to using the aux input can you only listen to phone sources music while showing waze or any Apple CarPlay programs?
yes you can. I listed to FM and had waze going but the turn by turn wasnt there.
Blue TRD Jon that’s great news thank you!
Install the new Morimoto headlights for 4runner it’s very similar to new Audi or Mercedes headlights
Kassem Bourgi what’s the model number?
AshtangaBoy www.morimotohid.com/toyota-4runner-xb-led-heads.html
The look so sweet and I love the darness of them
Blue TRD Jon 😉😍
Sheesh that tag is steep but they look Mean!
Maybe if it was wireless Carplay... but that's still a big chunk of change.
I'm curious if they will have that option in the future.
Will the plug and play harness be compatible if you have beat Sonics front and rear camera harness already installed
hmmm I'm not 100% sure. I don't have that system from them. You may have to email them for that answer.
@@TRDJon just messaged them ,it will work with the front - rear camera harness, just plug both harnesses together and plug in radio, both will work just confirmed with beat sonic usa .best of both worlds 👍
Heck ya awesome!! Glad the responded fast. Their customer service is great!
So is the picture quality while in Apple car play worse or the same as the stock Entune picture quality? It doesn’t look that back in your video, I can read all your texts and everything. Not sure where “same quality as the backup camera” came from.
It's about the same as the entune
Pretty cool!!
Heck ya man!
Does your cars screen have the JBL thing. If it doesn’t how is the image degradation. My 2018 Prius doesn’t have the JBL speakers and I’m worried that I won’t be able to make out the screen while using gps and stuff.
Mine does not
Jon I depend on you and your channel constantly for great tips and advice, and still will after this. This time, however, was a swing and a miss. I just wasted 2 hours with this POS and it had a bad connection or something. It would work fine for a moment, until I so much as touched anything with the wiring, and the screen would go blank. Even if their wiring hadn’t been screwed up, I
still don’t see where I was going to hide all this BS even it had stayed working after daring to touch a wire or two. I’m returning it immediately, and hope to never see such a POS again.
"Faint pop noise may be heard during vehicle turn on while in AUX mode." Is this for the signal light?
I think it’s just like if your in aux mode and your to put a cable into your phone. You hear that pop
We ended up just mounting an IPad in the vehicle lol.
Thanks for the video... Like the idea but the price?! Waaaay too high
Ya man. Idk what all goes into the R&D for it to justify that price. It is plug and play which is very nice though.
Will the seek/scan still work with the radio stations?
Yes
Have you considered trying the Grom VL2 and comparing it to the beat sonic?
gromaudio.com/store/vline/toyota-2013-2019-vline-carplay-android-auto-infotainment-system-navigation-upgrade-for-stereos-with-lcd-screens.html
They seem like a natural comparison both in price and functionality and the VL2 may be a solution to the resolution issues on the beat sonic. Also I have not seen a single video with VL2 in the 4 runner. Just a thought.
It better changed the whole headset with dasaita radio, you will have a big screen and best quality sound for $565 on eBay
I've been eyeing this for my Highlander but have hesitated due to not being able to change tracks via the steering wheel in carplay. I took a look at their site recently and no longer see that limitation... Is that fixed? If it is, can you do a firmware update on your existing unit to resolve that?
I’ll need to reach out to them for that. I’m not sure.
Are u gonna look into getting a 2020 model?? I'm thinking on trading up my 18
Maybe a 2020 Tacoma. But my dealer doesn't have ANY 2020's yet for me to look at.
@@TRDJon u are DUMPING the 4Runner? Shame!!
I think they come to dealerships November December
At time 6.53 you touch the top of the bezel area. Is there a tray in yours? I am trying to find one, part number etc. Someone put an aftermarket Android unit in my 2019 4runner, and the tray is gone.
Your dealer may be able to get you one, orr at least the part number
@@TRDJon Thnx.. I have the same android monitor too, need the black bezel.. But, I need it from the company that sells the unit. Thnx again
@@TRDJon I have part in hand. No part number, just the standard ABS on it..
Would you prefer this over the T9??
Yes 100%
I’m looking at the website and it looks like the steering wheel controls now work. Can you confirm please.
Ima get with them. Mine do not. I haven't updated.
Any update?
Hey Jon just curious, are you getting paid to show this off? Sure it's nice to add apple carplay, but for the same price you can buy a T9 with a lot bigger screen and more functions. To not have the ability to change songs unless you touch the screen is a big feature loss and to have poor screen quality is not good either. I just don't understand how you can hype this product up for the price that it is selling for - just doesn't seem worth it. I'm a long-time viewer of your channel and you always seem to be very honest, but for some reason this video seems like your pushing a product.
No I wasn't paid by them. But I wish I was haha. More mods I could get.. I'm going to make a video for the T9 head unit vs this and why I would choose this over the T9. Long story short is that I just like OEM when it comes to my stereo (Like i mentioned in the giveaway vid). It is expensive yes, but I think they are banking on peopple who just want the carplay. You can get a double din for 200 and have car play but it doesnt look good. The T9 looked great for what it was..but still had issues even on the second gen of it for $25 more then what this is for sale at right now.
So if I’m running google maps via the car play in Aux can I still listen to the factory XM Radio at the same time?
How much are the display's on the new 2020's
SOme are DM's me saying their dealer told them 4K and up.
Does anything change with IOS13?
I'm not sure. Will do a video if it does when I upgrade.
Blue TRD Jon I think the difference is that the Siri button on the screen goes away and you summon with “hey Siri” instead. The problem I have is that Siri can’t hear me after the initial summon. I can say “hey Siri, text Ann”, but when she asks what I would like to say, Siri can’t hear me.
Does this fix the issue with dropped calls?
Not sure. I haven't had any issues of that kind on my stock unit.
where did you get it? can you give me a website ?
Thank you.
Is it not in the description
So, not quite any Toyota. I have a Tacoma TRD off road without the JBL. I guess it won't work for me.
What year is it ?
@@TRDJon 2019
No sure why it wouldn’t. If it’s 2.0 or 2.5 it should work. Did it tell you on their site it wouldn’t ?
@@TRDJon Yeah, it specified that the JBL system was necessary. Hopefully they'll update it so that I can use it.
Does the steering wheel volume work?
Yes
Dude for $500 you can buy the brand new aftermarket navigation system with android auto
Hate all the plastic that the 4runner has with a double din
No seek on the wheel is enough for me to pass. I’d have to unlearn 10 years of habit. I’m gonna eat 10k and trade in my 19’ for a 2020.
damn 10K??
Blue TRD Jon well I’d assume that’s how hard the dealership is gonna fuck me. Trade in a 19’ SR5P for a 2020 TRD ORP. What do you think?
Plus I’m gonna have to pay someone to take out my Bilstein 5100’s out of my SR5P and back into the new one. I’m gonna need some serious lube for how fucked I’m gonna get.
I'd honestly not even pay the labor of the biltstiens and just get new ones. Unless they are the ones from a trd pro.
@@TRDJon agreed.
Great video, product may be amazing but damn that is alot of money for very little hardware.. one raspberry pie and wires for nearly 600 bucks and a month of waiting.. hard pass.
It may not be for everyone. i completly get that.
It work on Toyota Corolla 2018?
Check the site and the video for what its compatatible with. I posted the list of cars in the video
$650?! Bruh, I'll just buy a new head unit for that much
Cool but it's expensive for what it is and it's always out of stock
Yea idk what all goes into it and lead time. They said hopefully no more then a month to be fully in stock.
Thanks for the video.How is the sound quality? I am a little bit skeptical about those headphone style connections in those two areas. Does that mean that the sound all goes through those? I love the concept though for that price I also don’t want to have to plug it in☹️ I’m a picky sum-bitch! Haha Cheers Bro
I was going back and forth from bluetooth to the aux and I honestly couldn't tell a difference. I also had the EQ adjusted on spotify
Blue TRD Jon thanks
$450 is still steep just for car play...imo
You gotta really want it.
Apple Car Play/Android Auto kinda sucks in general. The resolution is subpar and you can’t see small roads. You can’t use all of your apps. It’s best to just mount the phone on a vent, cup holder, etc.
Brian now you’re just sounding cheap and tacky
It's way too darn expensive
High hopes for this but once again leave me disappointed.... another half backed solution. No thanks
Nothing seems to be 100% perfect. If the 2020 is retrofitable people will bitch about the price. A friend just asked his dealer, and they said $4000 plus..
just get after market indash yall.
I don't like all that plastic that surrounds the screen.
Honestly, I like the OEM look and this is a pretty good unit, it's just the price. Has there been any issues with the unit through time?
