New Head Unit/Infotainment

[eskatephil]

That’s a big shame - I really hate how the pause button / menu operates - it’s the worst design I have ever seen in a car.

Hi

we pick up a niced used 2019 Sport model on Sunday to replace our aging 2007 SE and I'm already looking at changing the head unit. The newest Joying with Android 12 is top of the list and I think i know most of the ins & outs. I still have a few queries though.

The included faceplate doesn't include a cutout for the passenger airbag notification - can that be tucked away behind?

I think the Sport model has a reversing camera - any adapter required?

If I add a DAB radio module - is there an oem antenna adapter required? (I realise there's one required for FM)

Someone posted earlier in this thread that a GPS antenna may be already installed - is that easy to find?

Thanks folks, roll on Sunday.

Just tuck the SRS connector behind the fascia, no problem.

The Sport does not have an OEM camera, just order the one from Joying.

There is no OEM adapter available for DAB, believe me I’ve tried & tried to obtain one without any luck.

There is an OEM GPS fitted to the Sport even if it has no Navi and the cable is tucked away in the dash fairly easy to find. You will need an adapter which is easily purchased, I think I mentioned where to get it in one of my earlier posts.

Hello - I have recently bought a mk3 - 70 plate jazz that I think is an "S" version.  It has a radio only and no internet capability. Could anyone please tell me - a total tech novice - if  there any way I can buy a compatible upgrade on this radio for my car so I can use android auto / internet please?

You will need to change the headunit to be able use Android Auto/ CarPlay etc, if you look through this thread from the start you will find all the information you need

Another question to the joying owners - what happens when you want to pause playback on CarPlay - does a menu show up for the pause/play or pressing the pause button just pauses the playback?
