Double Din Touch Screen DVD/Navigation/iPod System (eBay Edition) - Page 17 - Toyota Yaris Forums

enve1160 · 11-13-2010, 03:17 AM

So I installed my gps that i bought from ebay. Hooked it up to my 4 channel amp with infinity reference speakers. I am very impressed with the sound quality. No static/ engine noise. Very clean signal coming out of the RCA's. Now after a week of messing with it I found a few flaws with my unit.

First, I cant get the color of the knobs / LEDs to change to any color. They are all red. I need them to be green. The option for changing color does not let me change it. I dont know if any other settings are not letting this to enable the led color change.

Second, the radio reception is bad. Picks up alot of static.

Third, DVD player seems to freeze at random times for no more than 5 seconds. Im not sure if its because of bumps on the road or what. I also sat on my driveway to watch a movie and notice it doing the same thing, but it seemed like it would freeze for a couple seconds when it changed chapters.

Other than what i mentioned everything else works great. The only thing I havnt messed with is the ipod connection.

By the way I had to edit this post. I mentioned that the music from the sdcard sound harsh and overpowering, well it turned out the dvd gain controls the sd card gain.

This car has a power amplified antenna, and I believe you are referring to the wire that supplies the power. There is a blue wire in the harness that connects to this antenna power lead.

I really do hope this is what you are talking about. If not, post up quick.

rognewton · 11-14-2010, 01:54 PM

Thanks for advice,
i am going to upload pic,s of the aerial plug plus the back of the radio that came with the car
I think your right WeeYari that the other small black cable is for the power antenna
When i tested the aerial out on my new unit the radio worked,but the EJECT on the CD PLAYER and STEERING COULUM controls did not work on the new unit.
Replaced my old radio and EJECT and STEERING COULUM worked.

Before i join the black lead to the blue POWER ANTENNA lead in the harness will there be problems like my new unit blowing up [/COLOR]
I will email my supplier for help as well
thanks to you all for your help

Try turning you car lights on....I did this and then the other lights came on and I was able to change the colours...

WeeYari · 11-16-2010, 03:18 PM

1 - Yes, the black wire will be the antenna power.

2 - Does this unit say it actually supports steering wheel control? I don't see any connectors for steering controls.

3 - Don't know what to say about your CD eject issue.

Also, I think you should start your own thread. Your head unit is not the same as the one featured in this thread, and you've got your own unique circumstances to address.

sickpuppy1 · 11-16-2010, 09:53 PM

Didnt someone else have a thread about this? European antenna being different than the US? Could be wrong. Where is CT Scot when ya need him,LOL

WeeYari · 11-17-2010, 07:56 AM

^ I think you may be thinking of a thread in which the OP had a similar question. It was European yes, but the vehicle involved was a 1st gen Yaris with a non-amplified antenna.

rognewton · 11-17-2010, 02:22 PM

Thanks WeeYari for your advice again,
and others from the Forum
Yes you are probably right about the power antenna
I have had a reply from the people who supplied the unit
asking me to sent pictures and give details of the proplems
If i get some real answers off them, and manage to fix, and get the unit to work propley
I will set up a full how to with pic's on the forum
other wise, i will sell it on
thanks all for your help

I realize there are a lot of posts in this thread, but there are already numerous links to ebay providers in here.

rognewton · 11-19-2010, 10:07 AM

This is where i bought mine unit Http://www.cardvd88.com
email rebecca for info

Okay.... I was seriously considering the purchase of a Garmin Nuvi but after reading this thread I'm convinced that my money would be better used in the purchase of a new radio/cd/dvd/mp3/gps/bluetooth/kitchensink type radio. Since I HATE the stock radio in my car, I'm probably gonna change it someday anyway.

So I looked at the link that rognewton posted http://www.cardvd88.com but couldn't find the radio on the site. Is there a specific link? What price should I expect to pay?
