Dasaita Tesla-Style Vertical Android Head Unit for Subaru: Prototype Tour and What to Change

0:01[Music] you

0:20all right what's up guys it's your boy John and today we're gonna take a look

0:22John and today we're gonna take a look at more of this in-depth unit it's

0:24at more of this in-depth unit it's called the Tesla Styles what they call

0:26called the Tesla Styles what they call it and I just want to go over this

0:29it and I just want to go over this specific one what's made for you know

0:31specific one what's made for you know the Subaru obviously because it fits

0:33the Subaru obviously because it fits pretty snug it actually comes up another

0:36pretty snug it actually comes up another trim piece but I'm not using it here

0:37trim piece but I'm not using it here because it's more designed for the

0:40because it's more designed for the forest anyways I need your help and

0:43forest anyways I need your help and maybe this can help you so let's learn

0:45maybe this can help you so let's learn together let's get it alright guys let's

0:51together let's get it alright guys let's talk about the design of the unit and

0:53talk about the design of the unit and what we can do to change it

0:56what we can do to change it this is again a prototype model meaning

0:59this is again a prototype model meaning because it's at prototype model we can

1:01because it's at prototype model we can talk to the manufacturer well I can talk

1:03talk to the manufacturer well I can talk to and they can check out your comments

1:05to and they can check out your comments and they want to see what the people

1:06and they want to see what the people want so you can be involved with how the

1:09want so you can be involved with how the unit looks and of course the most thumbs

1:11unit looks and of course the most thumbs up comments and stuff like that and what

1:13up comments and stuff like that and what people want from a unit at least let's

1:16people want from a unit at least let's start with some few categories like

1:17start with some few categories like design we can implement them in the

1:19design we can implement them in the final version so right off the bat

1:22final version so right off the bat something that I would want preferably

1:24something that I would want preferably is a bigger screen now this screen is

1:27is a bigger screen now this screen is really big but I think that these little

1:30really big but I think that these little bezels need to go and if you can even

1:32bezels need to go and if you can even extend up the screen a little bit more

1:34extend up the screen a little bit more because I'm you know it's 2019 you want

1:37because I'm you know it's 2019 you want a less bezels maybe right here they can

1:40a less bezels maybe right here they can push it out a little bit and that's

1:42push it out a little bit and that's great so a bigger screen now though this

1:46great so a bigger screen now though this resolution is okay this reminds me of

1:49resolution is okay this reminds me of the same resolution as the top screen

1:51the same resolution as the top screen right there so hopefully they can make

1:54right there so hopefully they can make this into a higher resolution display

1:56this into a higher resolution display another thing I like to note is if they

1:59another thing I like to note is if they could maybe do a some people want this

2:03could maybe do a some people want this is what just some people want they want

2:05is what just some people want they want a volume knob like around here and these

2:08a volume knob like around here and these little plugs right here it's because

2:10little plugs right here it's because there's actually you can take them off

2:12there's actually you can take them off and then there's actually two screws

2:14and then there's actually two screws that you can screw into your dash now

2:15that you can screw into your dash now because I don't have it screwed in the

2:18because I don't have it screwed in the fitment could be a little bit better but

2:19fitment could be a little bit better but it's that's just how I have it right now

2:22it's that's just how I have it right now not fully screwed in

2:24not fully screwed in so if you guys went to a volume knob

2:26so if you guys went to a volume knob right there then that could make the fit

2:28right there then that could make the fit male a bit worse now that could change

2:32male a bit worse now that could change too cuz though I like this two-piece

2:35too cuz though I like this two-piece design where it's like one two I it'd be

2:39design where it's like one two I it'd be really nice if they could just make this

2:41really nice if they could just make this all one piece and free-flowing now if

2:44all one piece and free-flowing now if they make it one piece I feel like they

2:46they make it one piece I feel like they can bring the screen up a little bit

2:47can bring the screen up a little bit more than or you know mean screen and

2:50more than or you know mean screen and then have the fitment a lot better these

2:52then have the fitment a lot better these latches up here are really snug to

2:55latches up here are really snug to making it that fitment just even better

3:00making it that fitment just even better but that's again volume knobs

3:03but that's again volume knobs potentially some people want to have

3:06potentially some people want to have capacitive buttons for an example saying

3:08capacitive buttons for an example saying they turn on the AC with capacitive

3:10they turn on the AC with capacitive touch buttons instead of having a hard

3:12touch buttons instead of having a hard button or maybe some people just had

3:15button or maybe some people just had likes to have no buttons for me

3:17likes to have no buttons for me personally I do I mean turning on your

3:20personally I do I mean turning on your AC this way is one thing but turning it

3:24AC this way is one thing but turning it like this it would be easier so that's

3:28like this it would be easier so that's something to keep in mind of if they can

3:31something to keep in mind of if they can move these two buttons down that's what

3:33move these two buttons down that's what I would want so two buttons these

3:35I would want so two buttons these buttons can move down a little bit maybe

3:36buttons can move down a little bit maybe I don't really care about the volume

3:39I don't really care about the volume knob but I know that's a big thing for

3:42knob but I know that's a big thing for people I use the steering wheel controls

3:44people I use the steering wheel controls a lot from my volume controls so that's

3:47a lot from my volume controls so that's just me personally they can move these

3:49just me personally they can move these two down

3:49two down maybe movie these two down and then

3:51maybe movie these two down and then maybe have you know a climate control up

3:55maybe have you know a climate control up and down right here too which would be I

3:57and down right here too which would be I think it would look nice and maybe and

4:00think it would look nice and maybe and there's some other buttons right here

4:01there's some other buttons right here maybe know generally other Android head

4:03maybe know generally other Android head units have like home um someone have

4:07units have like home um someone have home you know volume up down but like

4:10home you know volume up down but like capacitive I really dig a flat style but

4:13capacitive I really dig a flat style but I can see why some people want volume

4:16I can see why some people want volume knobs now another thing is something

4:20knobs now another thing is something about styling with this is I don't know

4:22about styling with this is I don't know if you guys didn't even see that let me

4:26if you guys didn't even see that let me crank up the brightness a little bit

4:30crank up the brightness a little bit you see how it overhangs a lot so the

4:33you see how it overhangs a lot so the unit generally stops right here on most

4:36unit generally stops right here on most car most cars but this one overhangs a

4:39car most cars but this one overhangs a little bit creating a little cave even

4:41little bit creating a little cave even mr. shy guy right here have us has a

4:43mr. shy guy right here have us has a hard time fitting now I'd say it's about

4:45hard time fitting now I'd say it's about a like I have a normal-sized hand more

4:47a like I have a normal-sized hand more maybe on the smaller side but you can

4:49maybe on the smaller side but you can see it's a four finger gap so that's

4:55see it's a four finger gap so that's kind of cool it's a little cave right

4:56kind of cool it's a little cave right there you know a little curvy right here

4:58there you know a little curvy right here even a small little Kirby can barely fit

5:01even a small little Kirby can barely fit now this is a note eight because most

5:05now this is a note eight because most people have phones a larger phone you

5:10people have phones a larger phone you can still fit but it's always been kind

5:13can still fit but it's always been kind of tight in the STI center console WRX

5:17of tight in the STI center console WRX one's a little bit wider but yeah so

5:20one's a little bit wider but yeah so just uh I would keep the overhang I

5:22just uh I would keep the overhang I think it's a really nice design choice

5:25think it's a really nice design choice and it's so subtle but it really makes

5:28and it's so subtle but it really makes it cool look cool so I would keep that

5:31it cool look cool so I would keep that it's a good design having it overhang a

5:33it's a good design having it overhang a little bit as far as finish I'm actually

5:38little bit as far as finish I'm actually torn I do like the gloss black but of

5:41torn I do like the gloss black but of course that's that gets dirty easily not

5:43course that's that gets dirty easily not a hard problem for me because I do keep

5:45a hard problem for me because I do keep things pretty clean but because it's

5:49things pretty clean but because it's glossy it kind of matches the center

5:51glossy it kind of matches the center console kind of Nestor's this kind of

5:53console kind of Nestor's this kind of matches that it kind of ties in the

5:55matches that it kind of ties in the thing but having it Matt I wouldn't be

6:00thing but having it Matt I wouldn't be mad so whatever it's finished they

6:02mad so whatever it's finished they choose where they choose like this matte

6:03choose where they choose like this matte color or the piano black you guys vote

6:07color or the piano black you guys vote on what looks better piano black or a

6:09on what looks better piano black or a matte texture for this interior of

6:13matte texture for this interior of course general I like more matte things

6:15course general I like more matte things but in general so that's that's it when

6:20but in general so that's that's it when it comes to how this unit is design and

6:23it comes to how this unit is design and looks and maybe what they can prove on

6:26looks and maybe what they can prove on the final version so to go over I prefer

6:29the final version so to go over I prefer a one one piece so not having a top trim

6:33a one one piece so not having a top trim I'm just having a flow all one piece

6:36I'm just having a flow all one piece bigger screen higher resolution that's

6:40bigger screen higher resolution that's important for me

6:42important for me and then some additional buttons right

6:45and then some additional buttons right here like the home a back volume up not

6:48here like the home a back volume up not volume up and down capacitive keeping it

6:53volume up and down capacitive keeping it still very looking flat as far as volume

6:56still very looking flat as far as volume knobs I do without but if they had it I

6:59knobs I do without but if they had it I wouldn't be mad at I feel like with

7:01wouldn't be mad at I feel like with volume knobs it'll make it look more

7:03volume knobs it'll make it look more like a truck that's just me anyways

7:06like a truck that's just me anyways let's move on to the next category so

7:09let's move on to the next category so the next category is going to be

7:11the next category is going to be software and let me just go you over the

7:13software and let me just go you over the software right now right now of course

7:17software right now right now of course you had the volume I don't know if you

7:18you had the volume I don't know if you can you can't see it but you can see on

7:20can you can't see it but you can see on the screen volume controls do work using

7:24the screen volume controls do work using the steering wheel so let me just talk

7:26the steering wheel so let me just talk about integration that comes to that so

7:29about integration that comes to that so there's wheel settings and there's a lot

7:31there's wheel settings and there's a lot of settings you can do mode and all that

7:34of settings you can do mode and all that I just have previous you know just very

7:38I just have previous you know just very basic I don't even have everything

7:39basic I don't even have everything mapped right now but that's how I have

7:42mapped right now but that's how I have it right there and this but so the

7:47it right there and this but so the software is integrated in that respect

7:48software is integrated in that respect most Android head units don't have a

7:50most Android head units don't have a problem with still controls now AC

7:54problem with still controls now AC control that's another nice different

7:56control that's another nice different story so if I showed you guys earlier

7:59story so if I showed you guys earlier let me move it up a little bit so if I

8:02let me move it up a little bit so if I turn on the AC my climate control is

8:06turn on the AC my climate control is working it's doing 75 it thinks it's a

8:09working it's doing 75 it thinks it's a dual climate control my car is in dual

8:11dual climate control my car is in dual it's a single zone but you know certain

8:14it's a single zone but you know certain cards you have duals like am I thinking

8:16cards you have duals like am I thinking this like the sei has a dual so it does

8:19this like the sei has a dual so it does have the auto function now you can turn

8:23have the auto function now you can turn it off hard buttons great works these I

8:26it off hard buttons great works these I have me have figured out how to work it

8:28have me have figured out how to work it yet and the software it just doesn't

8:34yet and the software it just doesn't work for me

8:34work for me if I turn on I tried honestly I tried

8:37if I turn on I tried honestly I tried for a few days and I tried different

8:39for a few days and I tried different different things different protocols

8:41different things different protocols different UI settings and styles and

8:45different UI settings and styles and bandhas come air box a bunch of stuff I

8:48bandhas come air box a bunch of stuff I just can't get it to work so if you guys

8:51just can't get it to work so if you guys I have a head unit similar to this and

8:53I have a head unit similar to this and you guys can tell me how to

8:55you guys can tell me how to get to work let me show you guys it's a

8:58get to work let me show you guys it's a little password real quick seven eight

9:01little password real quick seven eight nine zero it's gonna open this little

9:04nine zero it's gonna open this little thing so I have it as this seven it's

9:07thing so I have it as this seven it's basically a force or however you

9:09basically a force or however you pronounce that and there's an L and then

9:13pronounce that and there's an L and then there's an H so if they can tell me

9:14there's an H so if they can tell me which version they have theirs without

9:17which version they have theirs without AC theirs with AC

9:19AC theirs with AC I tried all I tried every single

9:21I tried all I tried every single protocol and on top of that I tried

9:24protocol and on top of that I tried system settings as well every single

9:28system settings as well every single protocol and I reboot it every single

9:30protocol and I reboot it every single time I try comm and I said sing PI I

9:33time I try comm and I said sing PI I tried all these different things and I

9:36tried all these different things and I have had luck so if you guys know how to

9:40have had luck so if you guys know how to get the air things set up and working

9:42get the air things set up and working feel free to comment down below and I'll

9:45feel free to comment down below and I'll definitely you know thank you and we can

9:47definitely you know thank you and we can move forward with manufacturing this to

9:50move forward with manufacturing this to work with the WRX because some some

9:52work with the WRX because some some users have had it work with earlier

9:55users have had it work with earlier prototypes and other models from you

9:59prototypes and other models from you know al Express but it's been really

10:01know al Express but it's been really buggy so there I just want to go over

10:04buggy so there I just want to go over that real quick if you guys know how to

10:06that real quick if you guys know how to get that the climate control working

10:08get that the climate control working please let me know comment but let's go

10:11please let me know comment but let's go back to the software and what they can

10:13back to the software and what they can improve on of course climate control

10:15improve on of course climate control would be great if they had it actually I

10:17would be great if they had it actually I if I can end up working this car picture

10:20if I can end up working this car picture if it was like I think this is

10:22if it was like I think this is customizable and make it customizable so

10:24customizable and make it customizable so you can change your car to of course

10:26you can change your car to of course whatever car you drive I haven't had

10:28whatever car you drive I haven't had these things working I tried a nobody

10:30these things working I tried a nobody two-port reader and all that it's just

10:33two-port reader and all that it's just there's no CAN bus information for it to

10:35there's no CAN bus information for it to work I mean all the CAN bus might be at

10:36work I mean all the CAN bus might be at the top for our for our cars but that

10:39the top for our for our cars but that isn't working for me so this is how the

10:43isn't working for me so this is how the setting looks like let me just play a

10:45setting looks like let me just play a video or let's let's look at the radio

10:52there you go there's the radio fullscreen it does look B or is gone for

10:59fullscreen it does look B or is gone for like 30 minutes so I had to turn my car

11:03like 30 minutes so I had to turn my car on so the battery doesn't die anyways so

11:07on so the battery doesn't die anyways so this is the radio app right here it does

11:09this is the radio app right here it does look great

11:10look great I wouldn't change anything at UI wise

11:13I wouldn't change anything at UI wise honestly you can have your your presets

11:15honestly you can have your your presets right here aesthetically it looks nice

11:18right here aesthetically it looks nice of course because of the the processor

11:23of course because of the the processor and stuff I wish it was just a little

11:25and stuff I wish it was just a little bit snappier

11:30so that's the radio app let me show you I don't know why you'll be looking at

11:32I don't know why you'll be looking at pictures but here's a here's a video so

11:37pictures but here's a here's a video so this is how like a video will play that

11:39this is how like a video will play that note the aspect ratio so it only plays

11:42note the aspect ratio so it only plays because it's a portrait style the

11:46because it's a portrait style the landscape there's a lot of huge cut-offs

11:48landscape there's a lot of huge cut-offs so it's a very tight I think this is

11:51so it's a very tight I think this is still like a seven-inch screen give or

11:53still like a seven-inch screen give or take

11:54take it was pretty massive but listen you

11:57it was pretty massive but listen you don't wise the whole screen and there's

12:01don't wise the whole screen and there's a lot of other features like here and

12:03a lot of other features like here and then of course this is full Android so

12:04then of course this is full Android so you can download any Android app now

12:06you can download any Android app now what I use is Android auto a lot or

12:09what I use is Android auto a lot or apple carplay so if I plug in my phone

12:13apple carplay so if I plug in my phone right here it should automatically boot

12:18right here it should automatically boot up

12:25Android auto now I'm using an adapter from the side and it's really cool

12:28from the side and it's really cool because phone mirroring and all that

12:30because phone mirroring and all that stuff is built into the actor and I do

12:32stuff is built into the actor and I do get consistent updates making that a

12:34get consistent updates making that a really useful application let me see if

12:37really useful application let me see if you guys can see that really clearly

12:40you guys can see that really clearly turn off the lights all right so notice

12:46turn off the lights all right so notice that the aspect ratio again gets kind of

12:48that the aspect ratio again gets kind of wonky because of the portrait style and

12:53wonky because of the portrait style and yeah that's just kind of how it's it's

12:55yeah that's just kind of how it's it's just a little bit wonky because it only

12:58just a little bit wonky because it only takes that it does even go to the very

13:00takes that it does even go to the very end which is kind of strange so this

13:03end which is kind of strange so this does support apple carplay and android

13:06does support apple carplay and android auto with the adapter I'll link that

13:08auto with the adapter I'll link that below if you guys already have an

13:10below if you guys already have an Android head unit or we're looking for a

13:12Android head unit or we're looking for a really good adapter so there's that

13:17really good adapter so there's that settings is of course where things get

13:20settings is of course where things get kind of interesting when we talk about

13:22kind of interesting when we talk about software you can change the time and

13:24software you can change the time and stuff language eq's squared I have it on

13:29stuff language eq's squared I have it on dimmer you can control when you turn on

13:32dimmer you can control when you turn on the headlights how much the screen dims

13:42system settings a lot of information again to accommodate different cars so

13:48again to accommodate different cars so there you go

13:51there you go wheel settings we already took a look at

13:53wheel settings we already took a look at that so there's a lot of settings that

13:54that so there's a lot of settings that are tailored to it of course I'm not

13:57are tailored to it of course I'm not sure if the manufacturer can make these

13:59sure if the manufacturer can make these adjustments when it comes to their

14:01adjustments when it comes to their engineers and stuff like that this is

14:04engineers and stuff like that this is running out on a px three with a twenty

14:07running out on a px three with a twenty six gigs of storage and I think it's

14:10six gigs of storage and I think it's already using twenty four and this is on

14:12already using twenty four and this is on a two gig ram now this is probably the

14:14a two gig ram now this is probably the biggest bottleneck of the system the PX

14:17biggest bottleneck of the system the PX three is more of a budget oriented but

14:20three is more of a budget oriented but the software that revolved around this

14:22the software that revolved around this revolves around the PX three so keep

14:25revolves around the PX three so keep that in mind changing processor might

14:28that in mind changing processor might not be the most optimal but I'm trying

14:30not be the most optimal but I'm trying to tell that the manufacturers should

14:32to tell that the manufacturers should try to push a px 6 in here with DSP so

14:36try to push a px 6 in here with DSP so the performance is lost snappy

14:38the performance is lost snappy right now the performance is similar to

14:40right now the performance is similar to you know a factory head unit not as bad

14:42you know a factory head unit not as bad as the super ones that thing is slow but

14:45as the super ones that thing is slow but it's um you know not not the fastest

14:47it's um you know not not the fastest just like an okay experience not buttery

14:50just like an okay experience not buttery smooth 60fps kind of thing and you guys

14:53smooth 60fps kind of thing and you guys catch my drift

14:55catch my drift here's some more settings you can do

14:59here's some more settings you can do logos stuff like that so you can show

15:02logos stuff like that so you can show off your car so that's what it is with

15:04off your car so that's what it is with settings which is kind of cool software

15:08settings which is kind of cool software wise there's a lot of things you can do

15:13wise there's a lot of things you can do and oops

15:17and oops advance is eight eight six one again you

15:21advance is eight eight six one again you can change your more settings right here

15:23can change your more settings right here more software stuff gets get it gets

15:26more software stuff gets get it gets kind of overwhelming and I hope that

15:31kind of overwhelming and I hope that when when this thing's more feel it

15:32when when this thing's more feel it fine-tune you can change all this stuff

15:35fine-tune you can change all this stuff yeah and you can change a head unit to

15:37yeah and you can change a head unit to accept kind of can bucks from Lexus

15:39accept kind of can bucks from Lexus Toyota Benz and stuff like that just

15:42Toyota Benz and stuff like that just want to show you guys that real quick

15:44want to show you guys that real quick right now it has the force there l4

15:47right now it has the force there l4 store each Outback Legacy low high and

15:49store each Outback Legacy low high and it's like different trim levels I guess

15:52it's like different trim levels I guess and then even like Subaru XV and it kind

15:56and then even like Subaru XV and it kind of shows you their logo and stuff like

15:57of shows you their logo and stuff like that
