Headunit with Carplay

[mc.jayronn]

Hi guys! Thinking of replacing my stock HU, apple user here. I saw Sony XAV-3000 for 18k at Mickeys and then Pioneer z5350bt for 25k at Jeff ACA.

Any alternatives that you can recommend, 20k and below sana. Thanks!

If you need basic Android/Apple functionality, Nakamichi NA3605 around 16k, pwede na rin.

Will check on that one.

Btw. How does an HU improves sound quality? Is it on the EQ features, anything else other than that sir?

Sound quality, you have to ask the installers, I'm not an audiophile.

Btw if you're going to be using carplay or android auto a lot, you should look into the capacitive ones. Pioneer 5350BT or Sony AX5000 and up. The 5250BT, AX3000 and Nakamichi NA3605 are all resistive touch.

Good luck sa search. Pa update din ng price and installer, I'm also in the market for a sound system upgrade soon.

Other than EQ features, higher output internal amplifier, better preout and soundprocessor.

check out kenwood and pioneer models, most if not all latest touchscreen models have carplay. mickey's autosound, jc car audio, simplesound, timsaudiogarage, quest car, musico mobile...are some popular installers on top of my head

If you’re an Apple user, you might also want to check out the Alpine iLX-W650 (around 20k), which has great Apple CarPlay support and solid sound quality. Another option is the Kenwood DDX9019DABS if you can find it under 20k—it offers a clean interface and reliable performance.

Check Joying. They have vehicle-specific units. You can buy direct.

Can't recommend Joying bai unless they have an installer. The owner is a female boomer so DIY is out of the question.

Ohhh, apologies, bai. They're very DIYable, though. JoyingPh can probably help, but I'm sure the pricing would expectedly by higher than buying direct. For the latter purchase method, make sure to send them a pic of the OE headunit for them to package the correct plugNplay terminals. Joying customer support is pretty responsive.

Thanks, sir. It indeed made a dinosaur more current. The audio quality improvement was unexpectedly significant w/o any other hardware upgrades. Everything's pretty smooth, too. Definitely can hang w/ the branded ones, but nowhere near their price range.

Just want to comment on Navitopia. I was supposed to get Joying for one of the cars but got really curious about this brand since their marketing is quite aggressive. I opted to give the supposed 2gb ram 16gb rom Android 10 a try. Paid 15k inclusive of installation. It was fast and clean. The interface is actually good but of course don't compare with the phones we use. Don't set your expectations too high. Overall it's working and haven't found any hiccups but it's really not 2gb ram and Android 10. Using CPU-Z i found out it's still 1gb ram and they use Android 9. The API level is 28 so it's a legit Android 9. Would it matter? Depends on your use. I really just wanted a large screen Waze as the phone i had when I bought Navitopia has a smaller screen than what I use now. I don't plan on installing streaming apps or games. It works for me right now but if i would replace another old car radio, I'd go with Joying.
