Under $400! Seicane Nav Android Radio Review 

******DO NOT BUY THESE RADIOS, They continue to fail or work poorly for us.******** Currently we have been using ATOTO head units with great success for over a year now. They do require install kits though.

You two deserve 10x the subs you have

As a tundra owner I LOVE these videos

This video was still helpful for me. I am also installing an OEM backup camera to my 08 Tundra along with a Sony XAV-9500es head unit as my monitor. I was wondering how i would get the wiring from the ceiling down to the dash and you guys are the only ones with a video that shows a clear example of exactly how to do that. Glad you left the video up even though you found out later that it was a bad product. Liked and subbed!

Just wanted to comment and say that I love watching your guys' videos. I've been a fan since ASS2000 days and I'm always pleasantly surprised at how you guys just keep pumping out the great content. I think the way you logically approach improving/tuning a car and I very much enjoy that you actually go out to benchmark and measure the changes to the car. Another thing I also very much appreciate is that you total the costs for the project - very organized and educational on top of all the fun. I have no doubt you both love what you do very much, you guys have an amazing on-screen chemistry that reminds me of my dad and myself in many ways. Keep up the great work. Car people like you guys are the reason I (a software engineer) got interested in cars.

I've had a Joying android head unit for a year and a half and have really enjoyed it. It was specifically made for my Jeep and installed just as easily. Sounds great. I mounted my GPS on top of my dash and that works well and is pretty stealth too. I did have a problem with my touch screen after about a year. Joying did honor the warranty and sent me a new touchscreen which I installed.

Video came across after having the same year with the same problems plus some glitches on the buttons so this is helpful thanks RU-vid Can't forget to thanks the Academy especially speed academy

Bro exactly what I have been looking for thanks!

My favorite two youtube channels are Speed Academy and Mighty Car Mods! No drama and tons of Mods done professionally!

Are you serious ... that was just to easy !!! Guys ,you guys are awesome I’m about to buy a Toyota Tundra and it does have the old stereo...thanks for the info man keep it up!😎

Beautiful unit and very informative install. Thanks guys for share! CHEERS!

Thank u I'm so done with my 08tundra stereo!!! Upgrade time

Im always busting clips...good job Peter!

Great video, but the external GPS module is a curious decision. I read below that you guys had reception issues when it was mounted inside the car, it will be interesting to see how the module goes in the sun and elements. PS; Hope my podcast is one of the ones you'll be playing ;)

Very good review of the product installation.

These guys hit me up also to see if I wanted to do a video. After watching this I think I do.

great video Guys! I will be checking out their website.

I subscribed a while back and forgot you guys had a Tundra. I JUST started looking to upgrade the stereo in my '11 when I saw this show up on my subscribed videos. Its like divine intervention.

It's amazing how a head unit can transform an older vehicle into a newer one

That’s a beauty. Gotta be North of the Border! Great video! Thanks

more of this plz, i love diy :D

Looks like you have to remove the radio brackets from the old radio and install them onto the new one so you can actually use those 10mm bolts you removed to secure the radio. Looks good though. wish they made a factory type replacement for Ford aswell.

Great video, I wish there was one for Toyota 4Runner 2015

Well, you're 6 months into using it, what are you thoughts on it? Also, are you able to retain functionality of your steering wheel controls with this unit?

Great Video, thanks.

That unit looks clean

My factory car audio system has a center speaker. Think I'll lose that function when installing?

I realize that it's been over a year but I would like to know if you would still buy the same unit or wished you had gone with a more expensive unit or possibly even swapping it with an OEM Toyota Nav head unit?? Also, my Sequoia has the JBL Synthesis system....any idea on compatibility?

Are you able to continue the use of the information center of the original set of the Tundra information center?

I just stuck my GPS antenna under the middle of the dash plastic, short run to radio and no firewall run., works fine.

at work we do navi installs for toyota . the antenna works fine when you mount it in the dash . there's no need mounting it outside .

awesome video!

I've just bought the exact same truck and would love to hear your feedback on 6 month ownership of the Seicane unit. Main question - how quick so you see the backup camera when you turn on the truck? I'd be concerned if it takes 30 seconds to boot up the Android before you can see the camera when you shift in reverse. Great video!

Hey Guys, im from Germany and many greetings from here to all. My GPS is behind the Radio and Not Outside or in the car and it works Perfect.

At 8:56 in the video you were cut off telling us what the red wire is in the A-Pillar was for. You said you would elaborate on wire colors in the description but you did not do it.

What wires did you connect for the back up camera? You said you'd add it in the description. I'm having a tough time getting my camera connected properly so it turns on when I put it in reverse. I've tried everything that DOESN'T work it seems.

Does it utilize the steering wheel options? (Track/volume controls?)

With a backup camera, it'd be a $270 mod for my Fit, and that would bring it up to newer standards very nicely. Is the Nav an app, or is it like a GPS unit where you have to pay for updates?

Small GPS antenna probably can be installed hidden under the dash. Signal can go through glass and thin layer of dash plastic.

I need this!

I see the comment you replied to asking for an update a couple of weeks ago, did that update fix the Bluetooth problem?

PowerfulJRE !!!Hell to the yeah!

I don't get it, how does this make it faster? J/K, love the videos, by far the best youtube channel.

Did you try steering wheel controls, TPMS and OBDII?

Not sure if I need it but I sure want it.

These units are cool, when they work (key word..., "When They Work"). These tend to be soooo hit-or-miss. You will find yourself having to tinker with them more times than not. Also, be very careful with thermals. Many people cut a hole into a safe location on the case in order to install a small PC fan (silent 40mm - 60mm size and 12V). There is a huge community at XDA forum.

I just bought the same radio and I want to connect the rear camera on the radio but I did not understand where you connected the black and white cable (camera ground negative) you connected it with the red signal cable and these 2 cables to the red rca ?

Did you consider upgrading the camera as well?

I got a little confused with the back up camera, because he ran 3 wires to the radio one for RCA, and the other one for the ground but my question is where does the third wire go in the radio? Thanks

Can u explain over head connection to the rca cable..in more detail? Would I connect the camera to overhead connector, then splice the cable located in the window console?

Does the original small monitor still work after tapping into the back up camera wires

Hey guys, does it work with the Steering wheel controls in the higher trim level ?

I have been trying to figure out what wires you used for the back up camera ( green, white/black) but missed the last wire.

Those interior removal tools/panel popppers are worth their weight in gold. I bought a full set from Bimmerworld. Makes interior removal so much easier.

I have a 07 what radio are you currently using in your 08? Looking to upgrade mine and I noticed you DON’T recommend this one?

How to hook "front camera"? I got same unit but I do not kniw how to connect/get it work? Aldo like to know is there other software with subwoofer crossover, now there us only eq??

i have a 2010, but it doesnt come with the factory backup screen up on the top like that. im hoping there is a factory reverse signal wire in there some where.

So I got the radio from the link description with your discount code, everything was just perfect with the shipping... now, where do I get that Tundra you're talking about??

Curious to know if it's still working nearly a year later

Did you guys do a bypass to allow the dvd to play while the truck is moving? If so, how’d you do it?

Anyone have that wiring info for the pillar reverse cam? I don’t see it in the description. So I installed the radio and it doesn’t really work well with the iPhone which is a big disappointment to me. Overall it’s a big glitchy but for the price it still looks nice, if I could get the rear camera setup it would be a plus .

Dave, how is the factory GPS, been thinking about getting one for my tundra but dont want to use my phone data... any thoughts

What about steering wheel controls? My 08 Tundra has steering wheel controls and I want to know if this unit will meet my expectations or do I need to look at another model.

I have ordered the same unit but Seicane has messed up my connector. I like to know if you have pictures of your connectors. Cause I have exactly same connectors you have. one of my unit connectors is not connecting to any harness they provided. I have 48 email contact back and forward Seicane. but they haven't solved anything yet. can you please help me with the second connector you connected to your new stereo. Or if you can provide your order number I can ask them for same connectors. I think it is steering control harness.. best regards.

I've been thinking about getting this, but I wasn't sure if it would support the rear-seat entertainment.

I have been thinking of upgrading my pioneer unit in my 13 FRS with an android head unit. does this thing pair with a phone and the obd2 bluetooth adapters? I mostly want to be able to play my music while running torque or dashcommand.

Does that reverse camera stuff come with the new stereo or a different purchase?

Anyone else's backside tighten up every time the plastic pops from the dash?

I have the exact same stereo but I need the wiring harness can you guys tell me how to get the wiring harness or where do I get the wiring harness for the stereo you're installing in the tundra I know you guys are busy but maybe you get a chance if you could figure out how to get how I can get one

1) Great job on the install. 2) Family friendly, well done video. 3) Awesome head unit for an awesome price. It would have been great to see the GPS in action.

"Yeah, w w dot" at 11:10. I can't stop laughing.

Have you guys Done a ATOTO Review?

How is the sound quality on these android unites? would it compare to a high end double DIN pioneer?

Can you tell me do the steering wheel controls work with the seicaine unit, that is the radio controls and the phone controls?

im not sure why you put the GPS module on the outside, I usually put them directly behind the rear view mirror on the inside, Ive never had a problem with them either...

Excellent!!

@ 5:10, "it is powered up and working, it already knows the time!" It is obviously daylight but the time is correct at 7 minutes to midnight???

I figured out how to wire your 07-13 tundra that has the same wire setup that is in the video. (Red Wire) - Positive Video Wire, (White with Black stripe wire) is Negative Video wire. (Green Wire) - is the trigger wire that connects to your andriod stereo backup wire. You will need to get a RCA Video cable which is the Yellow one. You will need to cut it, strip the wire ... there are two wires inside of it the non-shielded wire is the negative and the insulated (shielded) wire is the positive. You will need to strip the insulated wire of the RCA cable. and the then you will have two wires. attach together the non-insulated wire on the RCA cable which is the negative to the (White with Black-Stripe); attach the insulated wire on the RCA cable which is the positive to the (Red Wire) ; Then you can plug this RCA cable into the camera RCA input of your stereo. Last attach the (Green wire) which is the trigger wire to the back of the stereo which is is usually labled backup. That is what he is showing in the video but did not explain it correctly. It took me a minute to research and figure out what he actually did. You should then have video on your unit.

Do you still like this radio in the tundra thinking about getting one for my tundra?

Nice..you know if fit on Tacomas?

Damn....that "Panel Popper" is no joke.

About a year ago my wifes double din died, stock stereo, not knowing the latest greatest car stereo jive, she ordered a sounddesign (cheap china crap, not eveeything made in china is crap, but this was) knowledgable w/electronics but 90's stuff, i installed. Pos lasted 9 months, blue tooth ? Never worked, took apart a hundred times cause preset info would not stay set ? Ended up being the unit itself, as i thought but had to keep 2nd guessing anyway. When it died, my wife was misserable, she has a 1 hour commute in and another hour home. I was so happy, it finally died, i hated the stereo, sounded crappy, well, ok i guess, if your f'in tone deaf, maybe it would sound ok. My turn to order, 'amazons chioce' pioneer AVH-X390BS ITS SO SWEET, $199, had it in hand 2 days later. Sounds absolutley mint, best of all the wife was super happy. And it ALL works. If you get 1 of these and want video while driving (you know, for the kids) dont just ground the saftey video wire (you know, the 1 thats soppose to get attached to the parking brake) you need to run a switch then ground. It asks you b4 you can see video to set then release park brake to test it really is connected. Another interesting note, I've read some units w/gps biult in, know the car is in motion and willshut video down. Buy brand name stuff, get long term results.

Do u need WiFi for the navigator? Or it just work normal like factory

Any issues? I've heard that bottoms stop's working. Would you buy it again? is $500?

You could've put the GPS antenna under the dash. It will work as long as there's no metal above it.

So this is like a tablet to where you can run apps like waze and so on, has a 1024x600 res which is not great but blows any other company (most use 800x480) out of the water and is dirt cheap? I've been looking for a product like this for years. Custom solution with a tablet would have cost me thousands to have someone build for me.

do we have to keep updating it to play or no?

Does this 'head' have an update for the maps/navigation?

Hi, now it's been a very long while. I am in need of the wire harness like yours. So far, I have not been able to find one. I've seen the ones with 5 plugs or 2 plugs harness. I am looking for the 3 plug like yours. Please help! Seicane does not offer it

I have the same truck, but the limited with the JBL speakers, does this guy need anything special to interact with that?

Will the buttons on the steering wheel work with the radio?

I have a 2015 4runner limited. Do you take request for a review on a andriod stereo?

Man is that a big-ass car xD. How much did you guys get for the old radio ? That should make such an upgrade even cheaper

How to retain ur AuX and USB w that particular Head unit cause I have one,...?

Does it have rear camera and other camera recording hookups?

my radio is $40 bucks and it makes me happy.

you should have mounted the antenna on the roof, the back roof is cleaner look, and better for reception

Why would anyone dislike this video!

I really want to see a follow up to this video.

I have a 2018 Toyota Corolla se. Can i do something like this on it? I ask because the screen on mine shows things like mpg and other information about my car. Would this have the same ability’s to do that or do i just lose that completely?
