I just installed this a couple days ago on my 2017 STi and I'm loving it. I instantly downloaded a different launcher. Since you stated you don't like the UI, you can change to whatever launcher will work. I use Nova Launcher. It's what I've been using on my phone for years. It definitely cleaned up the home screen because it's so customizable.

I had this before on my older STI but since then I traded to a STI with the newer headunit with carplay so been using that but I remember mine used to get black screen from time to time and used a pen tip to click the reset button even while driving and that solved the issue for me.

If you hold the power button for long enough it will do a hard restart and then you'll be able to connect to Bluetooth. You don't need to shut off your car

Do you use wireless android auto/apple car play? If so, have you noticed a difference in volume as opposed to Bluetooth or radio volume? I love using the wireless android auto feature, but I find it disappointing that it doesn't match the volume level like it would when listening to BT or radio. So instead I use the GPS system and BT to play my music that way.

Hi, I just saw your video about the Idoing vs Seacane comparison, and the Idoing Long Term Review Subaru WRX. I have a Subaru Forester 2013 X Premium, and I decided to keep it many more years, so I want to upgrade its OEM Clarion radio. And your video strongly grabbed my attention. So I have a couple of questions for you so you can give me more lights about my desicion I have to make, whether to choose for a well known Brand or these chinese ones that has a lot more and interesting features as well as the biggest screen in the market and practically everything included to perform the installation. I think it has been a year since you made the video, so how is it going, do you have regrets? Is still performing good? I would like to know, if through the USB port, is it possible that the unit can recognize a external DVD via USB port, I have one connected in my laptop and works great so I was wondering if the native android OS would recognize it. Thank you so much for your kind attention.

FWIW, heres my 1 year review - 2017wrx. i did the 9" idoing with volume & tuner knobs. After installing, instant regrets. Sound was definitely an improvement (initially) from the stock unit. However, nothing worked as advertised. Wireless Android Auto didnt work, so USB was used instead and that crashed all the time. 6months in, the sound quality went from perfect, to what i would call an illegally downloaded mp3 file - absolute trash. I was told it was probably my speakers, so i purchased a full set of speakers/tweeters. the sound still sucked. After a decent enough exchange with idoing "customer service" they told me that nothing was wrong, but offered an exchange - i paid shipping. I installed the new one, and sure enough, sound was back to great. now here i am again 6months afte the exchange and the sound quality dropped again. i reached out to idoing, and they told me there was nothing wrong with the one i sent back, and I havent heard anything back since after requesting troubleshooting tips, or diagnosis approaches.

what voltage does the headunit put out? consensus that android headunits are garbage for sound quality... anybody that upgrades the stock headunit is going to "sound better" because it sends more voltage to the speakers. but how much? trying to compare to the well known headunit manufactures in sound.

Yo man, just stumbled upon your channel. I bought an idoing for my 15wrx a few months ago, and out of nowhere a month or so after i installed, it started to do this weird thing, where the screen goes black and turns off back and forth all of the time. The touch still works and I remember how to get into bluetooth and carplay, but its been like 3 months or more at this point where it hasnt worked properly. I contacted idoing and they said they’d send a new screen, but they havent responded after that, what do i do lol
