Spotted on Facebook, pretty good price for the bundle

Key Features
- Voice control with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™
- 6.95” Touchscreen (800 x 480), Gesture Command (Tap, swipe screen gestures)
- Extra Bass adds low-end power
- 4 x 55W Dynamic Reality Amp 2
- Rear view camera ready for easy parking
- Create virtual speakers on your dashboard with the Dynamic Stage Organiser
- Ergonomic key terminal for easy operation

To install, you'll need fascia kit and adaptor cables. Go to Aerpro or Stinger website, search your car and get the product number. Search for that in eBay. Depending on your car, you might also need a special tool to remove the original radio. Youtube is your friend. Installing the rear camera will be a challenge, but still doable.

Enjoy!

    Good price but still 800x480, they need to be 1280x720 at least..

        Use it and see, you get higher res screens in tablets for far less, it's just the manufacturers holding off better displays for their highest end models that cost more than an iPad Air with far less tech.

        • jztilly on 26/11/2019 - 11:11

          i have one of these headunits and never think "they need to be 1280x720 at least"

          due to the way carplay and android auto works - they can't use the higher resolution anyway

            @jztilly: Don't want to sound bias, but that's exactly right. These units are intended to be used through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. These two systems can't use more than 800x480 (at least for now). So a screen with any higher resolution would just be a waste for their intended purpose.

            With iOS13 and Android updates, their auto counterparts are being updated and upgraded, but we won't start seeing the higher-res screens coming to the mid-pack units until 2020 at least.

            Using this unit day-to-day with Android Auto, you don't ever sit there wishing the screen was in higher res. At least none of us do…

      Have a 800 x 480 Android in the car, and absolutely no issues with that resolution. It's so far away from your eyes you don't really notice the pixels. Looks a good price for a good package TBH.

        Have both 800x480 and 1280x720 in my 2 cars and 720p is FAR nicer to read text on.

      Headunits are still lacking in this aspect, unlike smartphones. Even high end ones still have this resolution

  • bogak on 26/11/2019 - 09:45

    Can anyone confirm the dimensions is 178x100x139mm(W X H X D), I'm mainly concerned about the height

    • djprima on 26/11/2019 - 09:53

      It's a double DIN standard. From the manual:

      Dimensions: Approx. 178 mm × 100 mm × 139 mm (7 1/8 in × 4 in × 5 1/2 in) (w/h/d)

      Mounting dimensions: Approx. 182 mm × 111 mm × 120 mm (7 1/4 in × 4 3/8 in × 4 3/4 in) (w/h/d)

      I'm guessing the mounting dimensions is with the brackets etc installed

    • djprima on 26/11/2019 - 10:29

      Get this one, and once the XAV-AX8000 is released here, you can use the existing harnesses :)

      • Grealy on 26/11/2019 - 10:53

        Good point. I have had an eye on it since it's release but who knows when it will come to Australia. It would be nice if they keep the price down on the AX8000 too. (But I doubt it.)

  • homersyd on 26/11/2019 - 11:04

    Thanks OP! do you know if they do installs? and how much?

    • djprima on 26/11/2019 - 11:17

      They do but not sure about the price. Expect at least 2 hours labour

    • Store RepBankstownSoundMarine @ Bankstown Sound & Marine on 26/11/2019 - 11:48

      Hi guys! Installation for this unit starts at around $100, or $150 to keep your steering wheel controls. You'll have to contact the store directly via phone and talk to the install team for a vehicle-specific quote, as nowadays, adaptors and harnesses, etc. change and each installation is different. Budgeting around 2-hours for install is about right.

      At the moment, you're looking $800-$900+ for a wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay unit my dude. That's still a very premium feature.

    • djprima on 26/11/2019 - 12:29

      My research is not updated, but last time I checked AA wireless is still not perfectly implemented and drains your battery fast. I'll give it another year for it to become mainstream

      • Store RepBankstownSoundMarine @ Bankstown Sound & Marine on 26/11/2019 - 12:53

  • Brokimay on 26/11/2019 - 13:13

    Can you get offline maps for this one?

    • maxwellian on 26/11/2019 - 13:28

      Just, just make your maps available offline in Google Maps

      • Brokimay on 26/11/2019 - 13:45

        That doesnt quite work if you drive long distances in many areas with no mobile coverage. I need preloaded maps for NSW at least as I cant just download the whole state.

    • Store RepBankstownSoundMarine @ Bankstown Sound & Marine on 26/11/2019 - 14:13

      Thanks for the question! You can't get Maps loaded onto this unit, as it, itself, doesn't actually have GPS. It uses your Android or iPhone. As Max said, you can get Google Maps on your phone to download offline maps. With this unit, it's the only option I'm afraid. You can get other units that have GPS built-in (and therefore 100% offline maps), but not at this end of price table.

  • rfc850 on 26/11/2019 - 15:35

    • djprima on 26/11/2019 - 16:37

      Does it have plate number light? If you don't mind waiting and don't want to drill any hole, you can get one of this (choose the holder only option) replacing your original light cover

      • theguyrules on 26/11/2019 - 16:48

    • With eBay harness, can this fit 2009-ish VW Golf, or 2006-ish Subaru Impreza/Outback, or 2009-ish Lancer?
    • As this relies on phone, what happens when I've no reception, if I pre-download Google map offline, would that integrates and work seemlessly then?
    • I've no capacity to install it myself, what's the realistic price to get this hooked up with steering controls & camera, I'm in Sydney.

                @BankstownSoundMarine: Thanks for the prompt reply. With the RCAM2 would there be any way to adjust the guide lines if the cam is not placed in the centre of the car? I'm sure it won't be a major issue anyway.

    I've got an older Hyundai Elantra 2010 SLX HD, and google says there are no fascia kits for Australian models. But I have no idea what parts I need - what would I need?
    The built in bluetooth stereo is single DIN.
    https://aerpro.com/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/…

    So not sure if worth buying this unit if I can't fit it!

    • djprima on 30/11/2019 - 07:13

      Yeah I think if there's no plug and play solution, it might not worth buying. You can go custom, but will be $$

  • add-delay on 29/11/2019 - 21:07

    I find these awfully confusing.

    So if I jump on this deal and want to put in my Toyota Yaris, I need the head unit; plus an install kit (FP9016K) which includes the facia, wiring harness and adapters; AND a headunit harness and lead (APP9)?

    And if I search for someone who can install around Adelaide, no-one seems to list prices, and almost all seem to only do installs of products you buy from them.

    Am I missing something, or is replacing a head unit an absolute unnecessarily difficult head (profanity)?

    • djprima on 30/11/2019 - 07:16
      +1

      Yes, basically the install kit converts your vehicle connection to ISO. You'll also need the headunit to ISO connector, which varies depends on the headunit brand. Both can then be connected. Vehicle - ISO - your car

      Try airtasker with a good review, and don't forget to use referral code from here :)

      • add-delay on 02/12/2019 - 15:58

        Thanks. You'd think this kind of stuff would be standardised and be fairly plug'n'play, but car companies I guess. I'll have a look at Airtasker.

  • Binchicken22 on 01/12/2019 - 14:41

    Thanks picked one up.

    Had been thinking of going for the Kenwood DDX919WS for my Toyota… However it's hard to justify 3x the price over this just so I don't have to have the small bezels on the side. All I really want it for is android auto and this should fit the bill :)

  • theguyrules on 05/12/2019 - 13:20

    Got mine today, installed it using Aerpro fascia kit. Easy install and a great upgrade! Just need to mount and wire the reverse camera, that's a Saturday job.

    • theguyrules on 07/12/2019 - 20:48

      Reverse camera installed. That was far less of a fun job! Finding a reverse trigger to hook up to the head unit was a pain in the ass. But it's done now.
