Here is my honest review of the Dasaita 10.25" Android 11 Car Radio for Toyota 4Runner 2014-2019.
It looked like a dream come true. Reviews I saw on online gave it postive feedback. Even on other people's videos, the screen looked amazing---a beautiful high resolution screen with vivid color and graphics. The Apple CarPlay was said to be "seemless" by some. It fits perfectly into the 4Runner Dash and has a fantastic OEM look.
My exeperience was different. Let me tell you about it. Let's just say the grass is not always greener on the other side.
Can't believe it's already been two years. Seems like just yesterday you were bringing that beast down my street to give me the tour! :D
Oh how time flies…
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic honest review, glad Amazon honoured your warranty, very lucky. A bit rude that other you tubers couldn't give a fellow you tuber an honest review. Love the shirt by the way
Thanks Sean! Such is life.
Glad you like the shirt! It cracks me up.
Yes I love the shirt.. where can I get one ?
Rely 100% on what Nathan King says on YT for all my purchases! Got it! 😂 😂😂Thanks for the good honest review.
I didn’t say that! You may end up with a rum and brisket habit. 😂
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your review. I think a lot of times, we just get an initial review and no follow up assessments. I will look at other available options.
You bet. Check out my latest video. Dasaita made some improvements. The latest version works great!
Thanks for this video mate, ive been considering upgrading my head unit on a 2011 mitsubishi pajero and seen all good reviews on you tube on the cheaper version im looking at. But ive been holding back on it because its common for the cheaper tech items to glitch with no explanation or reason. Its good you got a refund on your unit. Look forward to seeing what you finally install, cheers
Yep. Sometimes those things look beautiful in the marketing photos, but real life is a different story.
Thanks for watching!
Finally!! Someone had to say it!!! thanks 🙏🏼
🤷🏻♂️ It just doesn’t work right.
I've got a T10 head unit to install. It's been in my garage for a few months. Need to get to it one of these days ha ha!
Oooooooo…
Let me know how it does. I might be interested in it.
Thanks for watching!
Great clip mate! I hate how so many aftermarket head units play up. Cheers Steve
Thanks!
I have the same exact headunit for 1.5 years and have 0 issues with it.
Crazy. Dasaita actually emailed me about an updated version 12 and I’ll be trying that one out soon.
@NathanKingOverland I have the vivid 11, I bought directly from desaita. I've been lucky with it. Also make sure your antena is on tightly for wifi. It can loosen up easily if not tightened correctly. Only thing I did to it was I bought an adapter so I use my vehicles GPS antena instead of the provided one.
@@camooo101 Thanks!
I have had this head unit in my 4runner for two years now and I love it. Mine is running android 10 and have very little issues. Big improvement over the kinda embarrassing factory system. Just my two cents.
I’m glad it’s working for you. The Android 11 Version they sent me did not.
Thanks for the review Nathan! When you were having the Carplay disconnect issue, was that over wireless Carplay, or was your phone plugged in over USB? I have heard of lots of issues with wireless Carplay (over bluetooth) even on OEM systems.
Both! I couldn’t get things to stay connected either way.
Recently in vacation with my parents I rented a minivan that had OEM wireless CarPlay and it worked seamlessly. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for watching!
Do you have any problems with the camera views or basic stuff like Sirius XM or is it just with CarPlay? I really don't use CarPlay much and don't connect to wifi from my truck.
Camera views were fine. I didn’t use XM at all.
However, stand by. Dasaita sent me an updated version to review and in checking it out now. It works much better.
Car play uses the hotspot feature on the head unit which means you can’t connect to a different Wi-Fi network. I have to turn my phone off because CarPlay will automatically reconnect
Interesting. I missed that in the instructions.
Awesome review been seeing these Dasaita 4Runner headunit reviews all over CZcams. Hard pass for me, thanks for sharing your experience.
Glad it was helpful!
I would definitely not recommend it.
Look up Heigh 10 Stinger head unit. I have 1 in my tacoma and my 4 runner. A little pricey but its top notch. Everyone wants to spend less and get more. This headunit is flawless and works like an OEM headunit.
Thanks for sharing!
I have a brand new double din universal Dasaita head unit and it is having the same wifi disconnect issue. When it happens, BT disconnects too.
So frustrating. It’s a slick looking device with lots of cool features, just not dependable.
Thanks for watching!
I have a similar problem with an alpine ilxw650e unit I used to to upgrade my 76 land cruiser poverty unit, great unit for blue tooth and audio , but using apple car play and using the mapping is completely useless it pixelates so you cant use the screen and locks up , updated many times with no success very frustrating I paid extra for the alpine name but to only be disappointed , not sure what to do next after spending my hard earned cash! They all seem to have glitches! thanks for the honest review
Ugh! That stinks. So disappointing when a product like that lets you down.
I'm catching this video about 8 months after you made it. What have you ended up with? I have a 21 ORP And I am not that amazed with the head unit that's in it. I also have a 2019 Hyundai Tucson and the head unit in that completely blows The Toyota head unit out of the water. Out of all the models of vehicles that Toyota has, I can't believe that they can't make a really good head unit that goes into multiple models
Hey. Thanks for watching!
Dasaita reached out to me with an updated model and gave me a chance to review it. They’ve corrected the issues I had with it. It’s fantastic now. They have units for other vehicles.
Here’s the remote I did of the updated unit.
Replacement Stereo for 4Runner with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for 5th Gen 4Runner

That is an Android car play radio. It's really designed for Android Auto. Apple carplay is just a connection. And then my opinion Apple carplay always has issues with a lot of units.
Thanks!
By the way, the only 4runner component made in China is the OEM radio. That's a fact.
Interesting. Check out my latest video. Dasaita has redeemed themselves with the latest unit.
i appreciate your honest review but i was considering the same thing. I definitely do not want to purchase something with gremlins as well.
I really wish it had been fantastic. But sadly, it was not. Thanks for watching.
13:37 Did you find if there is any Toyota infotainment system that works for your 4 runners? I have a 2014 limited 4runner and need to change my infotainment system to reliable and original Toyota parts.
Still looking. There’s a way to install the z infotainment system from a 2022 to my rig, but it’s pricey to do. All in about $2K.
you can upgrade to the new oem system there a few wiring kits for sale. but the oem head unit is super expensive.
Just got a 23 ORP. Shame they couldn't upgrade for this year... just put a new year on lol. How much was the unit?
Thanks! I heard they were pretty high Dollar.
Thanks for watching!
🤷🏻♂️
I bought a dasaita head unit for my cx-5. My only gripe is my wireless connection through z-link. It's a pain in the arse
Glad yours is better.
Thanks for watching!
thank you i was just about to get but not now
You bet. Let me know which one you decide on. I’m still in the market.
Thanks for watching!
Whats a good solution for those of us who don't want all the zoomer tier shit in our vehicles like big screens and touchpads? I'm looking for something a little more analog
I’m still looking myself. If you Google head units for your rig, you’ll see lots of options.
Some of the bigger CZcamsrs sell out to their sponsors products even I it’s 💩
Not me.
I agree. I had so many annoying bugs. And then I had a default setting upon install that I could not figure out how to disable. An annoying female voice would non stop tell me that I was exceeding the speed limit. This was a default “feature.” The person who decided this should be a feature needs to lose his/her job. Gone back to OEM for now.
The new version is much better. The resolves many if those issues if not all.
I have a 2023 4Runner wish I had a CD player
Really? I might have an offer for you.
@@NathanKingOverland I’m 👂
Thank you…
Thank you too!
What do you have now ?
I went back to the OEM head unit.
Ohh no ...... Used to think you were cool... But now I find out that not only are you a Toyota guy but a APPLE device fan too. I'm sorry I can't .....
So head unit or just apple tec refusing to talk to anything else?
😂😂😂
Can’t we agree to disagree?
It was the head unit. I checked. 😁
@@NathanKingOverland 🤣 I suppose..... I have other applecentrix persons that a talk to ....
Dude did you even watch the video? Has nothing to do with Apple.
I also Believe that the price of the unit is ridiculously expensive, there’s a Sony product that looks more promising although it’s not stylish like the dasaita is , thank you for the review , was considering getting one for my 17 sr5
Thanks for watching! Which Sony are you referring to?
@@NathanKingOverland czcams.com/video/oih7MyXOQrQ/video.html
@@NathanKingOverland
Just posted a link of the Sony head unit I was referring to , it’s mostly plug and play but I believe the Dasaita looks much better
Was it made in China? If you had watched some Scotty Kilmer videos, you would have known better. Sorry, sir. We are too soon old and too late smart.
Lots of quality products are made in China. iPhones for example.
@@NathanKingOverland iphones are made in China. I sincerely doubt lots of quality products are made there. Japan. Much better products.
Get a Alpine
You talking about the San Juan Mountains?
Did you try returning head unit maybe it was faulty.
It was definitely faulty. And I did return it.
And then they contacted me to send me their latest updated version. I did a review on that too. Check it out.
Only down side is not being a Diesel. My GPS is so out dated and no CarPlay or Android.
🤷🏻♂️
If it's Chinese made, that's what you're going to get as in quality.
I agree with you in most things.
But then, my iPhone is made in China, so 🤷🏻♂️.
@@NathanKingOverland that's why I have a Samsung. Lol
America could not build this.
Half your house is from China my guy. I have the desaita headunit for 1.5 years now and still running strong no issues.
@@camooo101 For sure.
the Dasaita one sucks, get the one from car trim instead
Haven’t heard of that one.
