Double Din Touch Screen DVD/Navigation/iPod System (eBay Edition) - Page 23 - Toyota Yaris Forums

What about you toy? Did you come up with a way around this?

toy_toronto · 09-22-2011, 12:36 PM

I suggest you guys explore the unit a little further. I learned all the settings by trial and error.

There are lots of hidden menus in this thing and as you already know due to lack of documentation, you must find a way to really drill down deeper into the menu system and try them all. This is how I learned how to use this thing and I'm not even an audio expert.

On the first post, picture #5 shows the audio menu where if you hit "next" button I believe the following screen will show the option where you can increase/decrease the volume GAIN for Bluetooth, radio, DVD, etc. Give that a shot.

Does anyone have link or seller name that for sure sells the 128mb memory version of this headunit?

Sweet! That worked!

anyone using this headunit with an ipod/iphone? Is the interface fast or slow?

WeeYari · 10-21-2011, 02:52 PM

Pen is not necessary for touch screen operation. As far as climate impacting the unit, toy_toronto has no reported issues. In fact, he continues to show this thing off at every public opportunity.

My girlfriend plugs in her iphone in it all the time and it runs great.
It even charges it as well as plays the music.

I've noticed that these head units come with a pen for the touch screen. Does this mean the pen is necessary for operation? What is the touch screen like in the winter for us Canadians?

I've had mine for 3 months now and I haven't used the touch pen once.
Mine even came with a remote control...which I haven't used yet.

that's cool does it sounds good?

BennyLava · 11-21-2011, 02:06 AM

Alright guys I think that by now I've given this thing its fair shake. And really, the only problem that I can complain about is going to have to be the bluetooth sound quality. Its pretty bad. When you're on the other end, its difficult to understand the person who is in the car, using the unit. When you're the one in the car using the bluetooth, it sounds like the person you're talking to is on speakerphone and its really difficult to understand them. And you have to yell at the unit or the person you're talking to can't really hear you very well. Its just not a very high quality bluetooth. But, what can you expect for the low overall price of the unit.

So my question is this: Can a better aftermarket bluetooth unit be used with this headunit? I noticed that there is an aux input available on the back of the head unit itself. Think there is any way to get a higher quality parrot brand bluetooth unit rigged up?

I don't think so, you'll have to look through the thread and see.

Yeah, I have to agree that it's not the best bluetooth ever. I don't have a problem with the sound from the other person, it's just whenever I try and talk.

hi guys

long thread to read ( forum is working )
I am a uk installer and r and d for many manufacturers.

The Dynavin unit I have played about with (mainly bmw vw audi) based.
but it seems to be a generic unit with differing faces. coming from a far east (china)
company.
The unit is visual based and in our experience does a bit of everything and is cost effective, all in one box, but there is a lack of quality.

On the bluetooth we have found the volume differs from phone to phone also.
radio reception and music quality is not fantastic.

but at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost for a complete after market soloution and the amount of space it would take definately worth considering.

boggydee · 12-12-2011, 01:33 AM

sorry guys for re-opening this thread... but doe anyone know where I can get wat toy got... with the gps, sdcards, bluetooth and remote? I cant find it anywhere on ebay... =/

thank you

BennyLava · 12-13-2011, 10:49 AM

Anyone know if you can use an aftermarket bluetooth in the aux slot of this unit? Somehow?

grelise · 12-16-2011, 08:27 PM

This the one I recently got for the car off ebay,

So far, quite happy with it, missus loves it.
Also, does anyone elses after a couple of seconds, on start up or turn on, give a little chirp before it continues as normal?
It's something I noticed first, but doesn't annoy me, just curious.

Spidermandud · 01-27-2012, 01:25 AM

My unit's been doing great for months now, and then spontaneously it resets itself after a trip to Nashville from the 'boro. That didn't bother me any; i even learned some new stuff about the unit's gps as i getting all the options reset. . . . . However. The voice option is no longer the UK Thomas; but the Alima . . . spanish? . . . voice. Whenever I attempt to move up the menu to change it; an error pops up on the screen, and won't allow me to progress. When I click okay, it resets the GPS as well.

. . . Wondering if anyone else has had this issue to solve.

Edit:

I put the SD card up on my computer; deleted all the non english voices. I don't plan on needing my gps to speak dutch to me anywho. Put it back in; works great again. I'm taking a shot in the dark and saying one of the voice files was corrupted and when it tried to load it as I moved through the voices it would pop the error.
