2012-2016 Honda CRV Android Navigation Stereo Upgrade - 9 inch Joying JY-HQ153N4G-B Updated System 

Thanks for posting! Based on your videos I ordered one for our 2016 CRV Touring edition. The Touring comes with the old touchscreen radio, which I hated. But the good news is that the harness from Joying works right out of the box with the Touring, no need to solder any camera wires to get the backup cam on the main screen. I did have to fiddle a couple things, Joying was awesome answering questions within hours. These were the main 2: 1. There was no sound at first. Solution was Settings->Device->Sound->AMP ON/OFF set to ON 2. LaneWatch didn't work out of the box. Solution was to go into the Vehicle Settings app (not Settings!), go to Compass Set, and click the green check box for "Turn right enter camera". Also, Joying confirmed that there are a few (I counted 3) connectors for the Honda radio that are abandoned in the Joying wiring harness. I don't know what those things did on the Honda radio, but I'm not noticing any missing functionality yet. Some minor tweaking: - The Apple CarPlay resolution is really low, much lower than what the head unit supports for native android (and much lower than CarPlay on my volvo which has a built-in Android head unit.) I was not able to adjust that, but I have email in to Joying to find out more. - On the flip side, I found the native Google Maps app was too high res to see at a glance on a 9" screen, and generally everything was a bit smaller than I liked. I googled around and found this fix: - Settings -> Developer Settings -> Smallest Width. It was set to 800; I tried 480, but 600 is what looked good for me. - I'm trying to get rid of the Songs widget from the homescreen, can't figure out how to do that.

Do you have an installation video for this? Also do blind spot and back up cameras work without any special wiring? Also Saw where Simone purchased this unit and a few month later it started malfunctioning. Please share your thoughts. Thanks

Thanks for the update! I have been following your channel for a while now (subscribed, of course), and I commend you on constantly improving and perfecting the equipment on your vehicles! How is that 2nd gen CRV holding up? I owned mine for 15 years before I sold it, and I sometimes regret doing so. Great cars!

Thanks for doing this video! I purchased the unit a few months ago and love it. One thing I noticed is that on my stock dash (where the gas mileage is displayed), I cannot adjust the time on the clock. I can press the menu button on the steering wheel and navigate to the different clock settings, but when I try to change the time, it just "dings" but nothing happens. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

the lane watch working after the upgrade? And do the reverse lines move when you turn the wheel?

Thank you for making these videos! I have a 2015 CRV-LX and the only thing I dislike about the car is the lack of navigation/Apple Car Play. And there aren't many videos for the make/model out there. Your videos gave me the confidence to take the plunge and order the same unit. Can't wait to install it!

Thanks, largely to your videos, I have this unit up and running in my 2014 Honda CRV EX -LN. It truly ends up being plug-and-play. The biggest thing I had to overcome was my concern that I had more factory plugs than Joying harness connections. After I calmed down I figured they may have been for the CD player and fan in the Honda unit. I didn't do any enhancements with a subwoofer but I did run an extra USB port to the glove box. The hazard light button needs a bit of tweaking since when the unit is mounted flush, the button won't release. Going to go through the menus set things up to my liking and decide if I want to install the external mic. Not a fan of messing around near the side airbag so I will give the built-in mic a lot of leeway. Before this, I was using the Honda unit and a dash-mounted unit to supplement. The Joying unit makes everything look much cleaner on the dash now. Thanks again for doing these videos especially with us low-teck DYI'ers.

Does it display the Car related information also, like wise, it display the trip history, mph of current drive, and other information?

I'm looking for one for my sister that is exclusively for carplay with a volume knob. I'm wondering what you recommend because i want it to work well while still being inexpensive. I have looked around and im haivng a hard time finding a wiring harness could you help me find one or point me to some reasources where i can find one.

Thank you very much for sharing your mod experience 😃 I have a 2013 crv lx, you mentioned that the back camera wiring changed from 2014. Are pin3 and 19 are the right tapping pins for my 2013 crv?

Hi, how did you put the blue background on the speedometer? my speedometer have white lettering on a black background.

How does did unit work when using the phone? Were you able tonuse the factory steering wheel phone controls?

Great set of videos! So I just bought a 2014 CRV EX-L (no nav). I’m really interested in taking the plunge on this radio, but I’m skeptical because I bought an iDoing 9” for an 2005 Camry with factory JBL and was a dud (and too expensive to return to China). So, are you still happy with the Joying radio? Also , do you know if it will Hook up as easily if I use the factory speakers amp on the CRV?

Great video. I saw your video when you installed a different unit in your 2012 CRV and it looked like you weren't able to retain the backup camera on the original screen like you have here. Do you have a video showing how you were able to display the rear camera on both screens?

Thank you so much for this.. This is exactly what i needed

Try to install the unit but am not getting any sound anu recommendations? The unit power s on but no sound.

Hi. So after having this exact radio for a couple of months in my 2014 CR-V I love it! Wondering if you are having a problem with the built in mic being too low. Folks can barely hear me when talking through the built-in mic. Do you know where in the settings I can boost the mic level? Thanks!

hey i have a 2015 crv with the blind spot camera along with rear camera, would this system work with blind spot camera, i checked the wiring harness for my spec that joying sells along with the unit and i see 2 yellow video wires which i believe is for the 2 cameras but the back of the head unit has only one yellow plug, thanks for the help

Hi, Great video! I purchased this exact model from your link for my 2016 CRV. I was able to install it today but I couldn't get my subwoofer to work. Do you know which connector I'm missing? Also how do you get wireless carplay to work (wired works)?

I’m about to take the plunge on purchasing this based on your excellent videos. I have 2014 CR-V EXL (no nav). I want to keep the factory amp/ subwoofer/speakers. I know I’m giving up XM (unless I use the app 😊), but with this model do i have to splice anything or do I simply turn the internal amp on in the settings? Also do I have to splice to get the camera to work on both? If I don’t splice, just the small imid screen still works? I want to make sure Joying sends the correct harness. Their ABC matching for the radio is not exact. My 2014 factory radio has 5 plugs…the pic from Joying shows 4 I think. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the video man! Just ordered a cheaper unit yesterday, but I might have to return and get a Joying. Question for you - I’m a big Apple person. So much so that I almost bought a new car last week in order to get CarPlay. I opted to replace my stereo instead. How much can you speak on the CarPlay abilities on this? I've seen some people who install after market units say that CarPlay only works for a few hours and then never seems to work again.

does it mess with the compass in the imid or in the joyplay?

Question: I installed a similar unit on my 2017 CRV. Canbus seems to be working for most features, however I am unable to manipulate the vehicle maintenance info. I know where to find it in the head unit but it just doesn't show it. It goes back to the home screen. My question is simply does your unit allow you to do it? My vehicle reminders are stacking up on the console screen for oil changes and such and I am not able to clear any of them. I have contacted the manufacturer and get no luck.

Hi, for the 2016, were you able to retain the Lanewatch camera? Also, since I’m not mechanically inclined, if I have a shop install this, will they be able to figure out how to plug it so all functions work(steering wheel controls, lane watch, both screens, etc.)? I looked in the website and saw a canbus harness that supports the Lanewatch camera for 49.99. Did you pay extra for it?

do you have a video on how to install your subwoofer? btw your honda crv 2014 joying video is excellent. I followed it step by step and I have mine up and running

Thanks for your video! Could you also share where you got the AC knob covers? They look nice! I've been looking for that everywhere and couldn't find one. Thanks!

First….thank you for the videos! I just installed this exact radio in my 2014 EX-L. Factory amp and sub work great. Tapped into the factory camera as you instructed. Works perfect (quality of OEM camera stinks lol). I am running into one issue and it’s with the radio bezel itself. I cannot get it to sit well. The bottom clips won’t slip in. Don’t see anything blocking it. In fact I took off the mounting plates and hooked the screen direct to the single din. I have been wrestling with this for 2 hours already! I transferred all of the clips (except the red ones). It almost seems like it’s maybe not tall enough or the mold they use is off? Any ideas?

Thanks for posting this! As it's been a year since the original post are there any updated recommendations or suggestions on Joying versions or models for a 2013 CRV EX that would be as close to plug and play as possible. Also, anything new to be aware of if installing now? Thanks for answering.

Looking to get one of these for my 2015 LX with the non touch screen radio. Couple questions. The new listings say the backup camera won’t work in the new screen but I see you have it working? Are you able to still reset the maintenance information, ie when oil changes are needed?

Great video! I have been wanting an upgrade for my 2014 CR-V and you have convinced me this is the way to go. I do have a few questions if you don't mind. In your previous video of the installation you added a USB port, for Android Auto I assume. Does it matter what USB slot it is put into on the back of the unit? You have a link for a USB port retention adapter. Would this work in place of adding a port? And lastly , when I go to purchase it (from your link) it has 3 different options depending on your dash. I don't see how to specify. thank you very much for your time and the videos.

Do you know if there's a way or button you could press to turn off the screen but still have the headunit running or playing music? I do a lot of night driving and would rather have it off

Thanks for making this video. Just installed mine. Was easy following your earlier video. Everything works, including the steering wheel controls. Only problem is that I can not adjust the clock anymore. I can get to the screen, but can't change the time. Any suggestions?

All things considered, would you go for the 9 inch or newer 10.1 inch model? Mostly going to be using it for CarPlay. The 9 inch definitely looks more factory, but I imagine an extra inch of screen real estate would be nice to have. What are your thoughts? Considering 4GB Ram models for either.

Great video, thanks! Does this unit support HD Radio Broadcasts? I work for a radio station and my current radio does not have HD radio and would like to purchase this unit if it is offered. Thanks!

Hi i have a Honda 2013 CRV ex model, i cannot upgrade my seat nav any longer as it is no longer supported. I live in Kent in the UK so my car is a right hand drive unit. I use an apple phone can you tell me is there a unit that i would be able to fit myself in my car? I have seen a thing called Apple Car play but i have to be honest i am not that clued up on this stuff. Could you advise me what you would recommend please?

Hello, thaks for this, what is the best Joying model of Android Auto & Carplay for Honda CRV 2013 Touring?

@JackofAllMasterofNone - when you buy from you link to Ebay does it include everything or will I need to buy a wiring harness or anything else?

Thanks for the overview! Roughly how long does it take to startup? Also how well does the lanewatch work? Does the button still activate it?

I have a similar radio from Amazon same crv everything working but no sound

Thanks! Great video! What adapter did you use to have the factory USB to work?

Heyy was just wondering if this head unit will update I herd buying head units from Asia have problems when your phone updates they stop working , is this true ? Thanks

Hey quick question I bought one of the kits off Amazon and now, for some reason I cannot get my information display above the radio to shut off even when the keys are out of the car any clue what it could be

I bought the same unit with the adapter so i could use the factory usb in the center console. Sometime Apple CarPlay when i plug it in it doesnt work. But i guess it has wireless carplay. My carplay is working without even having to plug it in. I would rather just do Plugged in carplay. I dont know if i did something wrong but it wont connect when i plug it in. Any ideas? I have the adapter plugged into the back of the imed plug to the headunit that say omd or whatever the usb port is called. But Carplay is working without the cable.

Great Video. I wanted to ask you if the side camera works with this head unit? I have the EXL 2015 and I have the side camera that is activated when you press the a button on top of your directional signal

2016 CRV Touring model. Has blind spot camera. Do you know if there is a way to integrate this so it doesn't become obsolete?

Great video, if your first install on this car you had to use smaller screws to get the emergency button to line up correctly. Considering I have the same model and year CRV i was hoping you could share any details you have of those screws so I can go to home depot or something to buy them. Thanks again

For people with this stereo- does it seem like it has a screen protector from the factory? At first I thought it was a protective film to peel off (you can see a notch around the volume knob). But it’s not going anywhere lol

Great video thnx for sharing. At the time of this recording, how much was this unit $$?

I have a few questions (I have a 2014 Honda CR-V). 1. Could I connect the factory microphone in a similar way as you have done with the reverse camera? Or is it some strange connection? 2. Do you know if the extra speakers that are mounted near the mirrors on the doors of some models would work with this? Would I have to split the connections or does Joying have a different harness for my model? 3. Can I remap any of the buttons on the steering wheel? I would want to use Google Assistant in Android Auto and would like a voice command button on the steering wheel, but since it is difficult to get the factory voice command button to work, could I remap something like the source button to do it? Thanks!

Did you integrate your Sirius/XM service? Are there any hardware or software plugins to retain that feature?

great video. are you using stock door speakers? if not what wattage are your speakers?

Does the right turn camera still work? Thank you.

Where did you unplug the wire for the factory compass?

Hey man . I have a question . If I were to install this joying screen into a 2012 civic sedan . Is it possible to have a backup camera installed , that will show up on that big New screen instead of the really small screen on the dash ? ( the one that shows the mpg etc ) Help please .

Is there any kind of input delay with the unit? My 2013 crv has a very unpleasant Bluetooth input delay and I would like to fix that with this unit

I have a honda crv 2012 exl with navigation system and factory amp can you send me a link of a plug and play replacement ?

Could you tell me how to get that adaptor so I ca also use me factory USB in the central console, and is it easy to connected.Thank you .

My backup camera only displays on the small screen, not on the Joying Head unit

I need to buy need help 2016 Honda Crv touring

Does the camera work on the right turn signal?

Can you change the widgets on the Home Screen ? The songs & radio widget

Is tyre pressure sensor working on display?

Where can I get factory back up camera module?

It looks like the volume on your head unit goes to 30 but the car's system would go to 40. Is that just some kind of a glitch or is the system not actually reaching full volume?

Do you mind sharing details on the 10 inch sub you got?

Just purchased this exact unit for my 2013 CRV EX-L. Did you manage to get the OEM side metal brackets to work? When I tried installing them on the Joying unit, the Joying unit faceplate refused to fit snugly into the dash. I could only get a snug fit by foregoing the side metal brackets altogether. Do you happen to have any pictures of how you screwed your brackets into your faceplate? Also - have you had any luck adding any apps to the home screen? For some reason Android is telling me the home screen is full where there is clearly an empty bottom row available.

Excuse me, what brand Is that headunit i like those!

Hello, did you have the original screen with the original amp and subwoofer or just the radio without a screen? Thanks :)

Does it support FM and DAB radio (In Europe)?

I just installed a 9 inch into a 2013 Honda Civic. Clock setup 😵‍💫 It’s been painful. I can’t seem to find the functionality to sync Joying unit with the upper display clock. It’s been super painful to set up the clock correctly. At this point I don’t feel like leaving joying the most positive review. If you have any suggestions that would be very helpful. Thanks again for the great video.

Will rear view camera still work?

I have similar radio it has a small pin connector that goes to back of new unit with 2 yellow wires and a single rca female jack is that what I use to tap into original small screen I have no instructions with this radio don't want send it back thanks

There is sd slot at the very back of the unit.

Can I connect dashcams to this unit?

Will this work for the 2012 CRV EXL?

Will this work with the right signal cam?

Does this replacment have DAB?

How is the sound quality and volume vs the oem radio?

I want to install one of those units on my 2014 crv exl. Where can I purchase it?

Nice!

I've had mine for less than 6 months and screen display flickered and now is totally black.

My screen went dark. What ahould i do???

JY-HQ117N8G-H 2012-2016 crv

i worked for honda

I can't get the imid screen to connect how do I do it

I've got this unit in August, and December the touch started to have problems. It keeps registering random touchs and it's becoming unusable. I already tried resetting but no luck. So I would not recommend paying so much for something that is not built to last. If it was a Pioneer/Kenwood or other stereo brands it would work for a decade.

For some reason, I can't initiate the lunch of my iPhone CarPlay and get CarLink over a USB connection. It works over Bluetooth only, which is quite an issue when you have more than one device in a car. I recently purchased and installed 9 inch unit in my 2019 CRV-LX. Everything else works great. Any idea what can be done with USB tethering?

Do 2012 CRV

YOU DIDN'T BUY THE INTERFACE TO PLUG INTO AFTERMARKET STEREO

All things considered, would you go for the 9 inch or newer 10.1 inch model? Mostly going to be using it for CarPlay. The 9 inch definitely looks more factory, nbut I imagine an extra inch of screen real estate would be nice to have. What are your thoughts? Considering 4GB Ram models for either variant.
