Hi, Has anyone bought the Kenwood DDX920WDABS from Australia and installed it? I have just got it but found the head unit brackets don't match up and I can't get the steering wheel controls to work with the supplied Kenwood OEM adapter. Any advice much appreciated Thanks

Hi all, I like the look of the latest US spec GT86 head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto - https://www.toyota.com/86/86-features/technology/ . I'd be grateful if someone could tell me what the OEM part number is or which external company manufactures it and the model number. Thanks in advance, Ellis

Hi all, I am not a (current) 86 owner, instead I have a mark 3 MR2. I hope you don't mind me invading your forum! I want to upgrade the radio in my MR2 and I've heard that the radio from a GT86 is basically a straight swap in. This appeals to me because it's a modern radio but doesn't have the stupid lights and buttons of an aftermarket radio. I would like a 2017 unit so I can have DAB (which I understand is only on post 2017 models). Have any been sold? Do they come up often? I guess those of you looking to track your cars might not have need of a radio. And the most important question, how much is the going rate?

Anyone know what this means??

Hi All, Have the itch to spend on the car again but I am now split between an active Pro edfc install or a new head unit and dash cam. Which would you go for?

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pioneer-avic-f88dab-7-double-din-dab-bluetooth-navigation-apple-carplay-android-auto-hdmi-cd-dvd DAB, Bluetooth, Navigation (the navigation is actually very very good), Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HDMI & CD/DVD Hoping for £600 - Open to trade for Rear lights too Can post or collection from near market harborough (just south of leicester) Am selling this Head Unit as I am just going to stick with the stock one and spend this money on some lights instead. Its brand new and completely unused. Think its around 800 everywhere. I'm hoping for 600 but want rid of it to be honest. I have another one of these in my TTS and it does everything. Currently Selling my TTS as moving to my GT86. Decided on the TTS 4 months ago over the 86. Needless to say it was the wrong decision and hopefully It wont be too much of an expensive mistake : )

Some of you may know that i’ve been working on a little something for the Toyota Touch (& Go) head unit. I’ve now successfully managed to get it all working and set up perfectly to my liking. After many hours of fiddling and tweaking with wires I’ve got it working. Spent hours fiddling, went through 3 methods and 4 pcs! Blew a couple of fuses, and broke my reverse camera cable in the process, but now have a fully integrated Telemetry data input into the head unit. This makes use of a hidden input on the Toyota touch which isn't enabled by default. The ‘VTR’ Input, which is basically a video composite RCA input. So this is what i’ve done and now have running…. Integrated 3 RCA panel inputs into my glove box along with a 12v ignition power supply…. A Mini Android PC in the glove box to input into the head unit. This Android pc will be replaced with a far smaller one which I am still waiting to arrive. I’ve used this one for testing as it is available in the UK. The one that’s coming from China is smaller, lighter and much cheaper. But takes several weeks to get here it would seem. I’d already tried another one from China but because of the android version it would not run Bluetooth or communicate with the car. I’ve got a little more tweaking to do with the Android box to make it more streamline but the PC now boots up, and opens up the Torque App into a dashboard automatically. Giving full engine telemetry on the screen. Including Oil Temp and Boost Pressure (If FI) along with any other data that is available from the GT86 ECU. And there is a lot! The data can be in the form of dials, graphs or numbers. Many of you know the Android Torque Pro app so anything you can do that, can pretty much be outputted to the head unit now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzwS9bIv97A Sorry for the poor video, this was done using my iPhone wedged in the passenger head rest late at night. But gives a general idea. And because it is technically just an android PC anything else you can do on android can also be done on the head unit. Angry Birds, Browser, films, music, pictures etc. This is still early development and I plan to keep on working on it to make it as possible and integrated as possible. The limitation at the moment are…. Only form of input is via Keyboard or Mouse. Slow boot-up time, I am promising settings and removing unwanted start up services to speed up boot. Only audio input is via the Front Jack Input or red and white RCA input. Audio can be played using the android pc, or inputted into the front jack from iPhone or iPod etc. But when in the ‘VTR’ Source you can’t use Bluetooth or iPod connection. And you can’t have the telemetry showing whilst listening to the radio etc. But I am working on a method so that apple users will hopefully be able to ‘air play’ to the android pc via WiFi or Bluetooth. I have this half working. Small text is difficult to read due to the 480p resolution. But setting all text to large is fine, and once in the torque app it’s not a problem. The install process is very fiddly and complicated. But I will hopefully be making some wiring looms which allow an effective ‘plug and play’ solution. I will also be putting together an install guide for those who want to attempt it themselves. I need to tidy my install up, get some decent pictures and then i’ll get together a guide. Currently the software requires a bit of tweaking and setting up to work smoothly. But again i’ll add this all into the guide.
