Android Head Unit

[monty_GTV]

Si Astral nag install tama? Sang branch ka and may contact number ka (magkakapatid daw kasi yan sila mga sellers kaya maraming identical FB pages)? Hindi nagka issue monty mo sa speedometer at tachometer? Nabasa ko na common na biglang di na gagana after mag palit. Thanks.

yung sa may bandang San Juan, eto number na kinontak ko nun 09153595009. misis ko at anak ko nagpa-install at nasa overseas ako that time. ok naman, gumagana tachometer at odometer, pati volume controls sa steering wheel.

Wow good to hear na kaya ng 8/128 ang games na yan. Plug and play lang ba or need splicing para sa steering wheel and stock reverse camera? Ito na rin plan ko kunin kasi nasa 11k na lang siya vs 9-10k tapos 2gb/32rom ng most sellers.

No splicing. Plug and play yung headunit..may kasamang wiring harness.may installation guide and the seller is responsive sa questions. Gumagana yung steering control. Message them before buying para maguide ka nila ano specific requirements ng car mo. For my case,.nilibre nila yung steering adaptor harness

Only time may gagalawin sa wiring is just to tap sa reverse lights para gumana rear camera when backing

Mine is a few weeks shy of 1 year. No issues encountered other than maliwanag pag nanunuod ng news (via youtube) pag gabi

Check ko if payag sila. So far sa mga napagtanungan ko either hindi sila napayag na install lang or napaka mahal ng installation fee. 5k for installation fee! Daig pa labor sa mga major repairs and ibang professionals! hehe

mabilis lang nila ini-install yung sa sasakyan ko dahil yung headunit lang mismo ang ikinabit. free installation yung promo nila nun. yung kasamang rear camera hindi na ikinabit dahil ok pa naman yung stock rear camera ng unit ko. gumana din sa headunit

Naka usap ko sila sa FB payag naman mag install lang nasa 2k singil which is okay na siguro kesa dun sa 5k. Hopefully hindi magka issue.

I use GOMO. Para walang expiry in 1 year. Okay naman camera. Serves its purpose. Meron sila manufacturer spec camera na nakalagay dun sa plate light for an OEM like install.

Masyado mahal yang 2k to install. DIY mo na lang. Napakadali lang naman gawin.

Hindi ako confident. wala ako background sa ganyan lalo na need pa daw mag splice para mapagana ung steering wheel control and/or pati ung sa reverse cam.

Wala rin kasi comprehensive video. Baka ma destroy it yourself ko.

Update and early feedback sa STAPON 8/128gb:

Napa install ko na kanina. All goods naman, ginamit ko na lang ung stock reverse cam. Kaso "lumabo" kasi na stretch ung image, di ko lang sure if mas "okay" if ung freebie reverse cam ung ginamit ko.

Hindi na nag splice for steering wheel except for ground and reverse cam iirc.

Then habang nag e explore ako biglang di gumana ung touchscreen and buttons buti nalang na fix via plugging usb mouse then calibrate ng touch screen as per seller.

Hindi din ma customize ung homescreen, pwede lang mag add and remove ng small widget pero ung existing na malaking widget is ayaw.

Hindi ko pa na try ung sa sim card kasi di pa ko nakakabili para sa sariling data. Need muna i register sa phone bago ilipat. Pero okay naman connection nung nag hotspot ako sa phone.

Smooth siya overall hindi lag while using Google Maps and Spotify except while connecting and reconnecting sa carlink via Android auto. Youtube is okay din pero sa netflix need daw ng lumang version.

Kaso issue ko ngayon is ang bagal/tagal mag connect to android auto (carlink ung app sa HU). Nag order ako online ng new usb to type c, sana mag improve.

Any suggestions sa settings ng equalizer and all?

Have you tried installing CPU-Z/AIDA64 to check if the advertised specs are the same as the actual?

[marky2115]

Sa Joying unit ko, I prefer using Waze installed there rather than connecting my phone and run Android Auto. Nilagyan ko nalang ng no expiry GOMO SIM para always may internet.

Edit: Sa android pala mismo i install. Check ko nga. Medyo sablay lang sa android auto kasi ang bagal mag connect and na di disconnect pa o baka dahil naka xiaomi ako na phone. Ta try ko sa samsung if same pa rin.

Ni register mo pa simcard sa phone mo bago mo nilipat? Kamusta signal ng Gomo? may mga no expiry na rin ang smart and others.

Toyota Innova 2017: I just installed an Astral 13inch HU, 4G RAM, 64GB ROM. I paid 22k with free rear camera installation and free plastic dashboard frame that fits to the 9inch extension frame that comes with the HU. I haven't checked if the specs are true and I'll update this post once I've tried it.

Astral branch: EDSA Cubao at the Clean Fuel Gas Station.
Service: excellent, fast, and they really know what they were doing. The rear camera needed splicing from the reverse lights.
Actual HU: actual screen size is 12.9inch, as per barcode label but marketed as 13inch. Most likely the 13inch advertised included the border of the unit. Crisps 2K resolution naman, 1920x1200 resolution. Has 3 height levels, I choose the middle height because when it is really high it covers the hazard button, and when it js low it obstruct he A/C controls. Even with the middle height, the hazard control is difficult to press since it's nearly obstructed.
Free rear camera: is not HD. Not very clear resolution. The technician was saying this is not compatible with HD camera. They suggest that I purchase a rear camera with night vision.
360 Camera: Supported out of the box. But I didn't purchase from Astral. I didn't want to have my side mirror to have a hole. Maybe in the future if I change my mind, I might buy those side camera and activate the 360 camera.
Steering wheel control: programmable. My innova 2017 G variant has few controls. It worked well and was easy to program
4G antenna and GPS: supported and installed on site. I haven't purchased a sim card for the 4G data. The GPS works well when I used Google maps. Not sure of I can use the GPS to track my car if it gets stolen because the HU only opens when you power and start the car. So, probably it can Tract when the car is moving and engine is open.
Android Auto/iOS Carplay: Supported.
DSP: Supported, was able to enhanced the quality of my stock stereo speaker. I'm not an audiophile, but it sounded good to me already.
BT: supported. Connects really fast.
Android apps: playstore is available. Netflix and Chrome installed out of the box.
Factory password: 3368
Brightness: very bright at night. So you might want to set brightness level to "0" at night so as not to distract you from the road. I haven't tried in the morning, but it really seems very bright..

I hope this is helpful. Sorry if this is long.

P.S. I couldn't find the OEM even with this serial number. It didn't have any manual in the box. Either the supplier removed the manual or it's really a generic HU without any. I'll keep searching.
