ANDROID Headunit: THEY MADE IT EVEN BETTER? (2017) Seicane 

I was able to find a 5 percent coupon code: AFFSC-3555-KJ6ZN-FYNL Where i got the unit: www.seicane.com/2014-2015-2016-subaru-wrx-android-radio-dvd-player-gps-navigation-system-bluetooth-touch-screen-4g-wifi-dab-tpms-dab-dvr-obdii-s169208?acc=45c48cce2e2d7fbdea1afc51c7c6ad26

does it now have magnetic compass ? so when your looking at the map .... it points in the right direction ...... and not only when you're moving

Got mine from Amazon it's coming in the mail on Sunday for my Sequoia :). I am super excited about it :)

I love your reference to "480p like back in 1999." 9:41. Thanks for the review, John. Very informative as always.

"I was able to find a code" it's an affiliate code lol, you can tell throughout the video he's trying to sell you on it

owning 16 wrx premium patiently waiting for install video ~.~

So far best video I've seen showing off the features of a Android head unit. Thanks!

Thanks so much for posting! I have a 2015 WRX Limited as well with HK, and I've been hesitant to pick this up due to unclear warning about having the HK setup. This just sold me on it. Thanks!

Does Google Voice work on it?

Again awesome video bro, would be nice to see a install video also. Question does usb plugs cigarette lights and aux plugs work that are inside the arm rest? Also does your factory back up camera work? Did you have to buy any extra wires or does the head unit bring everything you need to make it plug and play? So I’m assuming this will work with a 2016 STi no navi or HK.Thank you have a nice day

It looks great bro. It changes the whole look of the interior of the dashboard.

New unit looks great. Would definitely like to see the install vid, as i think you’ve convinced me to ditch the 2015 stock head unit and go with this one. Thanks man!

It only uses 1GB with all the Apps open because it has Memory Management activated. Meaning everything in the background gets stopped. Which sounds good but will mess with certain Plugins in Torque, etc. you can put apps in the exception list in order to keep them open but it will consume more RAM having them run in the background. Meaning just make sure your headunit has atleast 2GB RAM or 3 would be even better. 1Gb is not recommended no matter how much you do. Also allot of Headunits do not support BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) Mode. Meaning it odes not support aftermarket TPMS without addons for example. This is very annoying. But all in all dont get me wrong these Headunits are way better then most manufacturer OEM Units.

these reviews still seem to leave out alot of unanswered questions...does it support subwoofers and aftermarket amps, it already kind of bums me out that it doesn't have a cd player or aux. Aesthetically. it's beautiful, but what is it good for otherwise?

Hey man, I was looking into getting one of these a while back when I saw your first upload of an android head unit. This video helped me decide what I wanted, but they don't have a good fit model for my car (2013 dodge dart) Thanks for the upload, man!

I saw this and got one, installed it today, it’s really good. Very impressed. Loud too. So much better than the VW rubbish. Thanks

I have a 2017 wrx. What do I need to do in order to get my back up camera to work?

factory backup camera doesnt work on 2016+ models. You have to solder for it to work.

You’ve help me make up my mind. Will be looking into this for my mitsubishi.

Can't wait to get one now!!

No, really let your hands do the talking! 🤣

To which cars can this be installed? only subarus?

Sick review bro. Hope can find a good unit like yours. It so smooth and look so clean in your car!!

I'm absolutely loving these new Android headunits!! I'd love to ditch my Kenwood DNX9702S for one of these. The boot up time on my Kenwood takes forever. 😞

What launcher are you using?

So you bought a new head unit or you just upgraded the software?

I have ordered an Octa core 1.6Ghz with 4GB DDR3 Ram Android 8.0 for my Honda Jazz. Can't wait to install it in my car. 😊

I have one in my e46, one din unit and also fitted rear view cam easy to fit; the unit I have is for e46.

Nice meme m8

Why are you waving your hand around over the screen. Stop it.

I keep reading the audio signal out of the unit is dirty and over time will burn out speakers. I have a 2018 Wrangler I'd like to install one it but am worked about the comments I've read. Anyone have one over a long time have any issues??

great video man.

bought an android headunit to look like apple lol

Can this (or any Android head unit) be hooked up to something like a Siriusxm radio connect tuner box and then plug that into the stock antenna?

I purchased the Pumpkin 7.1 I like it a lot no probs and sounds surprisingly good. Only negative is the RCAs are very low voltage. .50-.75 volt on the 4 channels and less than .5 volt on sub output. This was forcing me to turn the gains on my amp all the way up. Had to install a line driver(audio control) everything sounds great now.

Dope! You got me sold bro lmao. Will be ordering one soon!

I would try setting the CANBus type to Subaru, in the factory menu. The CANBus function lets the head unit read and display data from the car's internal communication bus and sensors (A/C status, doors open/closed, dynamic guidelines for the reversing camera, TPMS, oil/fuel/washer fluid info). There's a higher probability that it won't work, than that of it working, but it's worth a try. This usually needs a small CANBus decoder box, that comes with the head unit, or is bought separately. The head unit is generic, whereas the CAN decoder is car manufacturer specific, that's why it's separate. Depending on whether the CAN bus has a separate plug on the back of the head unit, or is just one of the wires in the existing connector, and whether your Subaru model supports that, you may or may not need to buy the CAN decoder for Subaru. I don't know how Subaru does it. That's why I think it's worth a try, enabling it in the factory menu and seeing what happens (by opening/closing the door on the car, fiddling with the A/C controls).

In love with these

Great video man

Very good tips. Thx man! Also if u guys DON'T have reverse cam & annoyed when u get black screen.. just cut the orange/black cable =) At least that's for my ES4727A 7" Android 7.1

Man, fantastic review!! Congrats!! Question: aparte from changing de amp in the HK 2017 model, the rest of the cables are plug and play or you have to adapt everything when you have the HK model 2016+? Thanks!!

I have car dvd android unit that is 3 years old with 4.4.2 firmware. Quadcore and 2 gb ram included. Is there any way i can update it to latest firmware?

I got the newest one, octacore 4gb with 8.0 and this one looks like the software looks alot better I think

Wow, looks like I will be doing this mod soon.

Hey John I just installed the unit in my 2015 sti and im having 2 issues, wondering if you know of a fix. 1. The Bluetooth audio using my iPhone 6 is distorted and poor quality 2. The mode and call buttons on the steering wheel don’t register for the hot keys? Any help would be much appreciated!

So are these only good with Android phones? I want to change my 18s radio so I can mirror my iPhone mostly to use the navigation.

John, I see that (in this video) you live near me. Do you still use this Head Unit? also can this be installed into an Acura RSX?

Hey John I got a dasaita because you recommend it but I was wondering if you have the tech support number.. Or do you know how to used the new HDMI port that it has now.. I can't figure out where to go to used the HDMI port.. Any info will help thanks

Also can you have the GPS open and navigate to the radio to change the station and go back and resume your trip on your GPS without anything affected?

What features are lost with this from the factory radio? Can I change my car settings like; fob settings, door settings, dome light settings, etc?

Hi there, question/ anyone/ I have a 2015 outback any recommendations for one of these head units? is it worth it? how's the quality? thanks

Can u pit a sim card in their to have 4g internet?

Does it have a SIM card slot or is tethering your phone's 4G the only option?

Hey brother could you help! My unit won't let me download apps. Says it cant connect to the internet.. but I can search the internet search apps everything but download app?

John, do you happen to know how to lower the ringtone volume when you get a phone call? The ring is too loud when I receive calls.

How to retain ur factory Aux and USB port ,. with this particular head unit,.... Also how do I get USB cables for ports (B) and (C) for this particular head unit mine got damaged I've tried to get them from there site but with no luck giving me the run a round ,..

I need one of those for my Z!! Great review!!

Is there a way I could get this model without the suburu panel ? I can't find it.. if not can you recommend a similar model without suburu fitting

Will this fit my 2005 impreza ??

Damn i need this on my gti

If you don't have steering wheel controls and you add a bluetooth remote control? I had this issue with a Joying android head unit, I assumed I could pair a bluetooth remote control, but wasn't able to.

When you bought the radio, it came with everything you needed to hook up your rear view camera and steering wheel controls ? Also it keeps all the same functions from the stock radio?

Ok thanks for the great review, can you update the Android OS? I ma about to get a unit that is having Android 6 on it.

John, I am able to get netflix to play/stream but will not allow me to download . Also apps like Hulu I was able to get the audio but throws error code when I play movies . Is this a software issue or something? Certain apps I am able to download using playstore but simply put they don't work.

Yo John. Did you have any weak radio signal issue after you installed this unit? I'm receiving terrible FM/AM signal after the head unit install. Also, when I install apps on Google Play, it installs really slow. Anything you can recommend?

Do i need to buy the converter for the OEM Rear Camera? Also, it keeps the OEM microphone or i need to use a new microphone? Ty

Any way to upgrade the rom storage? 16gb is pretty low nowadays

this may have been answered already, but does this plug and play with the 2018 wrx premium?

Can these be used with an iphone? I know it can use carplay but I was wondering can it still be used without carplay? Like bluetooth and stuff

will this overheat in the dead of summer? my ipod will turn itself into cool down mode if i leave it in the car.

Hi may I consult u? My unit come without google services frame work. As a result I can’t access google play etc etc. Any solution? Thanks

How is the Bluetooth call connection every Android head unit I have used has horrible call quality.

Can you get Sirius xm on it ? Would it a Hyundai Tucson 2013?

Hey there! awesome video! What extras did you select when you purchased this head unit?

I have a 17 STI limited with Harmon Kardon, will this work just fine with this installed??

I live in California bay area, can’t find the right stereo shop to install joying unit. You dont mind me asking where you got yours installed?

Do you need to be still and on WiFi connection to pull info from your phone for videos, or RU-vid? Also can you use Netflix or anything?

What’s the best android head unit brand you’d recommend? Is Seicane good or would you recommend a brand like Dasaita?

Hey John, Can you tether internet via bluetooth or does the bluetooth only do audio, like on the older pumpkin models?

How did you connect the wheel controls? I have a Honda, will it plug in? How did you connect yours? Thanks,

I'm trying to check out on the page but it's asking for all these options idk what I need.

I have seicane android head unit ,version 8.1 Is this compatible for Apple car play wirelessly ( without dongle)?

just bought this last week thanks to you.

do you know if this headunit works with a 2015 regular impreza hatch? my model is the one with eyesight

The backup camera harness you have linked is different than the one in the how to install link. Will it still work for a 2018 wrx?

It does not work with the xt 2016 with HK right? The website is not clear, they don't reply to the phone, there is no chat, can you please guide me? Thanks a lot

How about android updates? Can or will it do that? Without replacing the radio in a few years? Some apps will eventually stop working down the line because of that. Just wondering because of that. Cheers

Do you always have to manually connect to Bluetooth every time? Also does this read your text messages out loud? This is a really important feature I need when driving.

John. Voice command & backup camera. I have a 2018 wrx premium and I don't want to sacrifice OEM features. Can you tell me how this would work?

Does your USB work? I’m trying to connect it use that way and it charges the phone but can play anything, do you have a solutions? Thx

How does the backup cam look like? Any different? Are there the lines on the camera?

Ive been thinking about getting on of these, thinking about using it for GPS however i dont want to use data plan or my phone data. it is possible

hi, can this setup go into any vehicle...Have a 07 Chevy avalanche with an OEM double din and thought this would be a good upgrade...Would I have to buy BOSE / onstar additional adapters to make them work ??? thanks

question does the reverse (back up camera) still work when installed

Can anyone confirm that this unit is plug and play for 2015 wrx with nav and Harmon kardon system? I have read all you need to do is tap the amp turn on wire.. I am getting conflicting info from seicane

HI John, Hopefully you can help me. I have Forester 2015 XT but it has harmon Kardon head unit (with gps), as i understood that Forrester or WRX with Harmon Kardon need different harness. Do you get it from Seicane too ? I am so afraid that it is not going to work with my system. Do you know anything about it ?

Hi John what's the name brand of this Android unit,will it fit in my Mercedes benz Ml 55 amg.thanks for your info

So based on all of your reviews. Which android radio to believe is the best for the money. Thanks for the reviews

What do you think about this one vs the gcs one sold by subispeed? My gcs had the screen stop working after like 3 months
