iDoing Android 14 Head Unit: Dodge Ram 2002–2005 Full Install

0:22So guys, it's your boy John. We are back again with another video. Today, we're gonna be installing a head unit on the Dodge Ram

0:30So, the unit we have here is the eye-doing head unit. Basically is a plug-and-play solution

0:37That means no splicing or anything like that

0:42Because it's plug-and-play. You look like a one screw and a few screws later. You're

0:48Good to go. So let me just show you all the wiring right here

0:54This is just kind of like the accessories if you try new subwoofers Wi-Fi anten and there's microphone SIM card slot we have a

1:05Kind of like the brackets to hold it in place. You can see there's' a bunch of stuff and the brains of the units itself

1:15It's nice and tiny

1:17And then the main piece that you really need to worry about is this right here. It actually it houses the new

1:27DIN or it's the the factory is a single-din unit and then we have a new enter head unit, which is great

1:34It's beautiful and then this little

1:39Ribbon cable if you want to call that goes to the brains

1:45installed remotely

1:48But yeah, let me just show you the install. It's pretty simple on truck

1:53All right, so the car we brought in is the the 1500 ram

1:58But the thing about this is we bought it used so it doesn't have the OEM harness the previous owner splice it up

2:06So eye-doing also has a kit where you have a universal thing and you can make to tie it to

2:13Something like this to, too. It's a little bit more tedious

2:17You just kind of match

2:20The information from the schematics to the wires here, kind of it's already labeled, but

2:27It is what it is

2:29If you have the OEM head unit, you're not gonna have to do this, but we're making

2:34Yeah, but there we go

2:38To remove this right here. There's one screw on the bottom

2:42Right here you kind of see by the little hook you removed it with a Phillips and

2:47The whole thing is kind of just clipped in after that after you get that one screw out

2:57It's helped by clips, so we removed the cigarette lighter right there, but

3:01He's gonna wiggle sometimes you can remove the move around the transmission shift

3:08to give it a little more clearance the whole thing just pops off real easy and

3:14Just let it just unplug the AC climb control if you need to to make some more clearance

3:20And then, then we have one for the cigarette lighter as well

3:29And that reveals this whole cavity here that that's where the single den's gonna kind of live

3:43And then it's gonna' remote mount to go up a little bit higher

3:46After that we're

3:49All right, so because the Dodge Ram

3:52This is gonna be a little bit Most part is the it's plastic riveted on

3:58So you just got to drill it out and you can see all

4:13This piece all right, so I roughly got it kind of

4:26Just smoke the holes a little bit and then now I'm just prying it out as you can see

4:30Try to be gentle because there's plastic on plastic

4:33So you got to, to keep that in mind and this part is you kind of pray

4:39Prying pray a little bit there you go

4:45The bottom one is going to be a little bit hard to get to

4:48But

4:49That you just keep prying it

4:53Just a little pride

4:59There you go, so we have it out and now

5:06We can

5:09Putter in the new one

5:12Just demonstrate that real quick

5:15the new one will also boost the rigidity

5:24All right, so we have some fasteners right here

5:28You put the washer on top and then you just use the fasteners

5:32to

5:33Basically instead of that plastic weld

5:39Actual fasteners now screws and of course you don't want to torque it too hard. So be gentle and

5:47Yeah, you do that to one two three four four five six seven

5:52Spots and you're. Good

5:55After you put all the fasteners in here

5:57We're just reinstalling the climate control h-fax system control and then there's a little pocket

6:03And you we just we're just screw it in so it's pretty self-explanatory

6:07Reusing the OEM points

6:10OEM hardware on the new shell and

6:15Yeah, it's pretty self-explanatory

6:17All right, so we have it installed right here. So

6:23We're reusing these the outer frame the newer frame is what we did

6:27so we took the plastic rivets out bolted on the new ones with screws actually and

6:34We have the AC climb control from the old shell

6:38Right here and then the pocket as you can see so everything is feels very rigid

6:43there's no like what's going on here and

6:47this should pop in to the OEM area because it uses the main OEM outer so

6:53Very happy with it. I love the fitment. The finish is also a little bit different

6:59In the original the original had

7:01So you don't have that anymore

7:04But it kind of matches the actual these vents more than the OEM one so

7:09Yeah, all right, so we have applied in to the thing first start up

7:25Instant boo, that's good. That's a good good sign

7:30Yeah

7:32It's beautiful

7:33There you go. So we'll wrap it up and see how it goes. All right

7:40So we're just gonna hook up our phone through bluetooth

7:43The name is SYU Android. I don't know if y'all can see that. It's very reflective in here and

7:49We're gonna connect it to an iPhone the pin number should be like zero zero zero zero and we're connected to SC which is

7:58our phone's name and

8:02Let's go to car polink 2.0

8:05it's connecting and

8:12Verification approved. So now we have Android Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

8:17Alright, so everything works carplay works phenomenally the audio works. There's no factory amp on this

8:24So the sound just worked from the rip and then as far as everything else

8:29We're just gonna plug it in mount the brackets get it nice and tucked and clean it all up

8:35All right, so we're just doing the mounts right there

8:40We're gonna have it a little bit loose so we can kind of mock it up. All right after you put it in

8:46We're just doing those

8:48Phillips 2.2 and that's pretty much gonna live

8:52Plug everything up that we unplugged

8:55You're talking about the climate controls

8:58the

9:00cigarette lighters and

9:02What not don't forget that one screw

9:05Test your work. Okay

9:13So when you unplug and re-plug it in it's gonna do the cold boot, but you can keep it on the the accessory

9:20Once it's plugged in sometimes it's like your phone it go in sleep mode. Well preserve the battery

9:27Better

9:30Alright, here's the UI

9:33It's really hot so I have the AC on but the UI the eye doing is absolutely beautiful

9:39I love the wallpaper. It really demonstrates the IPS screen

9:43So you get great viewing angles and just the color saturation

9:47I would say even revels my iPhone. Okay, my iPhone's old it too. So very impressive that these colors just pop

9:55Resolution super high definition. It looks like to be

9:59Almost it's 720 it's HD for sure 720p or 1080p

10:04I'll post the specs, but the colors and let me just show you the viewing angles

10:08Look at, uh, like it it's not shifting the colors not shifting or anything

10:14So it's very impressive. Now the whole UI itself is beautiful, but the orientation is kind of

10:21as a passenger

10:23It's more directed towards the driver and which is great too and I also keep in mind that I have the

10:30Included screen protector you can kind of see it right there

10:34The owner wants to keep it on so I'm gonna respect his wishes

10:40You know you you gotta keep that screen looking fresh

10:45Let's see as far as brightness you want to crank

10:49Let's crank it up all the way to the max that way it kind of beats the Sun. There you go

10:54So that's with the max brightness. Let me kind of show you guys that main menu

10:58Wow, that looks beautiful

11:00and

11:02Yeah, let's just go through over the UI as you saw I was going through the backgrounds

11:08There's a bunch of software in here applications the one that most people are gonna be using is car link

11:14So Apple CarPlay Android Auto. That's how I use my systems

11:19It's also a carpet link, which might be like some kind of phone screen sharing

11:25You got its own

11:28Got some settings right here. I'm not sure if they'll work or not. Let's see

11:33Auto door lock

11:35So if you had can bus it would actually be able to

11:39Maybe do any of these but it looks like it's not working because it's not hooked up to the computer

11:44This is 2004 so it isn't older car, but so vehicle settings you're not gonna be able to do much the EQ right here

11:53We have front left you can choose your stuff or go into that to to it right here check your

12:00fader settings

12:02It's all there. I'm telling you it sounds so much better than OEM

12:05And it sounds way better than the aftermarket one that we had

12:09So just know that the whatever you have

12:14You're probably having an upgrade with this

12:18As far as car link so Apple CarPlay

12:23What what it does shakes through Bluetooth, then it

12:28Goes through Wi-Fi to your Android off your Apple CarPlay

12:32Alright, so we have I have ways open right here, but yeah, this is just the Android Auto

12:38X part the Apple CarPlay experience. Here's the. Widgets from the new iOS and

12:45You know got on data right here

12:48See the app doors just looking really beautiful, and you know something I a really appreciate

12:56so

12:58That's good there

13:01Let's go into settings

13:04I

13:05Love the Apple the aikons will remind me of Apple the way it looks so I feel very familiar with here like all the stuffs

13:14GPS

13:15Bluetooth general

13:18Here's to some of the settings if you guys were interested I'm just gonna skim through, through it. I'm not gonna really

13:24Factory settings so if you want to change your boot loaders and stuff like that

13:29And this is what it thinks it is if we had the canvas set up a Subaru Forester

13:35but we don't have any of the

13:38Canvas information going into the system so you don't have to worry about that

13:43Backlight you can it off of the. Lamps so when you turn your headlights

13:50You can always keep the light lamps on these little like I guess there's no

13:54Panel whites anyways, and then you can

14:25Visibility and then automatic day and night mode

14:29So I'm gonna do it on this so you guys can see a little bit, clear

14:33Sounds, so if you don't want that beat noise that it's making you can turn off key tone

14:39Noises so now I won't have that anymore some people like to have it

14:42It's on by default so you can basically have more haptic feedback where you get a little noise and some just

14:50Little vibrations along your body with the sound

14:54Then you can see more stuff right here storage we have a hundred and twenty eight gigabytes of storage

15:02So if you want to put movies applications

15:06Plenty of storage and then about device here's the build number the app

15:11It looks like a two thousand by two hundred so over ten hit like yeah, the screen did look over 1080p

15:18Super sharp text is in crazy sharp. You can see the storage the memory. It's on an octa-core. CPU

15:25blue tooth right here Android version 14 and

15:32Now we didn't hook up any

15:36Sin card, but this cart also has some information here's some more information about the apps

15:44That's a little more detail, but that's pretty much it of you guys were interested in this product

15:49It was very easy to install. It's very beautiful

15:52I'll leave a link down below where you can buy the I doing head unit and

15:58Yeah, so thank you guys for watching. I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace
