Has anyone ordered one of these units recently? If so, any current link to the place you purchased it from. I'm ready to pull the trigger but feel nervous about some of the sites.
Where did you order it from? Do you have a link?
What was the wire issue?
Ordered it from Amazon. I'll look for the link
*edit* here u go. It's says unavailable though
Amazon.com: JOYING Quad Core 1024*600 7 Inch Android 4.4 Kitkat for Toyota Prado 2002-2009 Double Din in Dash Hd Capacitive Touch Screen Car DVD Player GPS Navigation Stereo Support Steering Wheel/bluetooth/obd2: GPS & Navigation
The wiring issue I had was the unit would turn on and work but I got no sound unless I cranked th truck all the way up and then the music only lasted 3 seconds. Ordered the metra tyto1 or whatever harness and used that along with the harness side that came with the unit that plugs into the unit. Basically cut the harness that came with the unit in half and used part of it with the metra and all works fine now

Perfect!! Thanks! That helped a lot.
This looks great and appears to be exactly what I want...but with an iPhone/Apple OS integration. Does anyone know if this is an available option?
It's hard to explain what u need to do with out being right there
Mine works great. Details in the build thread. I tried the GROM (was good) but I blew some speakers due to rot so I went all aftermarket.
Hey guys, really like this thread!! Question for those of you who have installed this unit, How does it sound compared to the factory unit? I dont want to cheaper the quality of the audio. Does anyone have any CONS? or PROS? please share. Steering wheel functions do they work with the can-bus adapter harness? Thanks.

Any progress reports in this unit? I can't seem to find them on Amazon or other non-sketchy looking Websites. Did anyone buy from these guys?

And to clarify, I need the Unit and the Can-Bus adapter? I know nothing about car stereos - the thought of fiddling with wires behind the dash pisses me off. This thing is pretty much plug-and-play?
I have a 2004 non-nav and really just want an AUX-in option that isn't a cassette. The CD changer is getting dodgy and the quality from the cassette adapter is less than stellar. I'm open to other (cheaper) suggestions.

I have an 05 non-nav and use this. It works well for bluetooth streaming from my iphone. It is plug and play (in-line between the changer and head unit if I remember correctly) and also provides and aux in and USB charger (no data). I keep steering wheel controls and my only gripe is that it doesn't display track text on the head unit. They have another one that supposedly does but doesn't include the hands free microphone ($$extra). It's been good for a few years so far and I had another of their products in my IS350 for about 4 years with no problems.
What kind of backup camera did you use?
I would love to install one of these but I'm thinking Apple Play would be nice to have to sync with my iPhone. It looks like Apple Play is available on some of the name brand Head units but those are a little pricey.
Mine arrived yesterday. It looks like it's plug and play with the can buss adapter. I have not had time to put it in and we have a high or 10F tomorrow.
Has anyone with factory nav purchased one of these? I noticed in red text on the jewellet website it says to call them before ordering if you have factory nav. My 2005 nav unit has fewer features than my watch.
To my knowledge, there has not yet been a successful replacement of the OEM navigation system.
