Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / New Head Unit/Infotainment

« Last post by UKjim on Today at 04:30:52 PM »

For comparison this is what the Alpine with a 7" screen mounted in a Connects2 fascia looks like.



The Joying screen may appear less bright because I have fitted a matte screen protector.

I didn’t have an OEM rear camera so I fitted an aftermarket camera. I don’t believe the Joying or other Android units support the Honda camera but you would have to check with them.

I asked them this question and they said it does support the OEM camera which means it must be able to supply 6v to the camera (the OEM camera is a non-standard voltage). I am impressed with the specs then, it seems to be a plug and play replacement!

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Buying Advice - Jazz Advance

That was my thinking embee

I’m actually quite annoyed also that my local dealer has still not been in contact with me after I had a test drive last week

I just wonder if Honda are going to pull out of the UK?  I certainly don’t see many new cars about

I was in a similar position a year ago. The sales manager at my local Honda dealer was rather arrogant and not at all interested in cutting a deal even when I showed him I could get a better price elsewhere. In the end I used Carwow and took the best deal on offer.

I placed the order directly over the phone with the dealer who made the offer. He then emailed me a copy of the order form to check and sign. It really couldn't have been any easier, though it was a cash sale with no part-ex. The car was delivered to my home by trailer free of charge despite the dealer being 150 miles away.

I'd recommend using Carwow or another broker even if you go with Toyota or Renault. The discounts on those brands are crunchier than Honda and you can still use your local dealer for servicing and warranty repairs. Buying over the phone also places the purchase under the distance selling rules, so you could return the car within 14 days of receiving it for a full refund if you didn't like it. Just make sure to pay by bank transfer or a cheque in the post, and have the car delivered. If you visit the dealer to sign a contract, pay in person, or collect the car then the distance selling rules no longer apply.

I agree about the dearth of Mk4 Jazzes on the road. I've only seen 3 in my area since I started looking over a year ago. The price has to be a factor. I bought an Advance Sport and the list price with metallic paint now tops £30k. That's a lot of dough for a small car. Both the Yaris and Clio are significantly cheaper. A friend also noticed that the Jazz was pulled from the list of models available under the Motability scheme in April which won't help matters.

After some thought I'm going to be less adventurous, and I probably won't go for the JOYING (thanks for the recommendation though UKJim). Main reason is I would like to be able to have some recourse if something goes wrong with the unit - I don't have the skills to troubleshoot and fix myself 

Apart from the Alpine ilx-750d system UKJim mentioned, can anyone recommend a good HU that plays nice with wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto? Ideally I'd like to keep the cost down to £500 (including parts and labour).

Thanks 

What do you expect to go “wrong”? You connect a few cables and customise buttons on the steering wheel. If you brake the OS (not sure how much you would have to be messing around to do so) then just factory restore. Joying is probably the safest option for a valid radio replacement for a Jazz

eskatephil I’ve ordered for AliExpress before, but never electrical items. I worry about the whole returns palava with electrical items (in the event it arrives faulty or goes bust) but perhaps I’m overthinking it.

Any pictures/videos you could share of your fitted JOYING HU?

UKJim yes, I’m a bit torn between the two now (JOYING and Sony) - this thread is very persuasive 

Any pictures/videos you’re able to share of your working HU?

I found an alternative: Sony XAV-AX6050

Anyone had any experiences with this HU?

Going to dig into the specs later but apparently plays nice with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto (which doesn’t always seem to be the case with some of these HUs).

That’s your budget blown, plus £100 for fascia & connecting kit and £150 for installation & you end up with a 7” screen.
