Wow. Nice!!! This is what i need.. did you do the install yourself?

 

Yes I did

Great job on the installation!
Was it a simple plug and play installation for the GA2168? It does't looks like it's sitting flush against the dash.

Thank you! Once you get the needed harnesses all you gotta do connect the wires together and then it will be plug and play on the car's side and retain the factory USB/Aux Ports too. The headunit it self is double din standard size and fits in the original radio's spot perfectly. However, the screen gets attached to the front by a little arm, which allows the screen to rotate in all directions and horizontally adjustable too. I just have mine turned towards me it looks so much nicer and easier to see that way. See attached picture

Awesome! A 10 unit will fit on that space? Sounds incredible! Is this unit android auto? Some reviews state some lag in response to touchscreen taps... Are you experiencing it yourself? Also, how is the sound quality compared to stock?

The main unit is double din standard size and the screen attaches to the front, see my comment up top The unit does not support apple play or android auto, however the unit it self has Android 7.1 and has an application which allows me to mirror my phone "Android or Apple " to the unit directly and works smoothly.

For what it is, it works great to be honest, there is no lag and boots up fairly quickly. I love using google maps on there and I have it automatically connect to my phone's hotspot. The sound quality is also surprisingly good compared to stock it is hard to tell the difference.

very nice!

What is that thing on the left of your dash? Does it project things into the windshield?

 

Thank you, that's a head up display unit "HUD" it connects to the OB2 port and reflects the speed/rpms/voltage and other things on the windshield. plug and play.

 

Thank you for that last picture that shows how the screen is connected to the dash unit. I did not know it was like that.. Nice

 

Thank you very much !

I wanted to also add that the correct USB Adapter is the TY1 not the 2, so it would PAC USB-TY1, unfortunately I could not edit the main post.

 

Nice, that's exactly what i need, can you post here like a tutorial for us please?? with pics, or if u can make a video is better. and whats the name of the thing that project things on the windshield, and how to connect it please...

thanks

 

I will try to do that, it was very easy actually The thing is a heads up display, it has one cable that connects to the obd2 port and displays the speed, rpms and some other info.

Can you take a picture from the side? Also, how close is the screen to the clock and airbag indicator? Seriously considering this!

I will try to do that this weekend Sitting from the drivers side, I can barely see them, but I do not care much for it as I have the clock on radio screen as well.

Wow that looks fantastic dude. You're definitely bound to get a lot of inquiries about a tutorial. I'm pretty sure the biggest infotainment screen I've seen was 8'. Really goes a long way in improving the look of the interior. Plus you know...your phone can connect to it.

Thank you

Is there a method that you used to program for the steering controls to work

 

How to retain the steer wheel?

Meedo,
I see you install the head unit, how did you connect your wire to retain your steering wheel? I have the ASWC-1 interface, also have the toyota adapter, I just need to know if Key-1 or Key-2 wire from back of the head unit, needs to connect with some wire?
much appreciated.

 

how do you make the steering wheel to work? there is Key-1 and Key-2 wire on the back of the head unit, do they need to connect with something?
thank you

 

For the Crutchfield kit, I had to go to Walmart and get a Micro-USB cable and pre-update/program the Axxess interface. Once that was done, all I had to do was connect the wires from the kit and connect it to the interface and it was ready to go.

The volume and other controls seem to work, have not tried the phone controls, yet.

 

Does everything work? Bluetooth mic? Steering wheel controls? etc.?

 

Nice setup!

How much does it stick out..or can it be adjusted to sit flush with the dash? Any pics from the side?

Also curious if you got the steering wheel controls, bluetooth mic, and backup camera to work?

 

Also wanted to add that this video from Metra says we need a 40-LX10 for the antenna, but you're using the 40-LX11.

 

Thanks for opening this thread and this motivated me to purchase the head int. My question is there is a mic at front of the screen on top left corner. Does that work at all? just wanna skip setting up the external MIC if the one at front works fine. Thanks!

 

For anyone still considering this Radio, not worth it. You need to purchase every single cable to make it to work if you don't wanna cut the factory harness. And with that you will end up spending way more. There are other better alternatives. for example this;

If anyone needs to see the pictures let me know. I have it installed in my C-HR

 

Just a note. That linked head unit will not work in the 2019 models with the Entune 3.0 systems. It will physically not fit. Toyota for what ever reason chose to do a totally different dash layout where the screen is larger but the actual electronics are in a single DIN chassis.
