iDoing 9" Full Install (Accessories + Steering Controls): Camry 2006–2011

0:00What's up guys, it's your boy John. We're back again here with another video today

0:04We have the Toyota camera. I believe this one's the 2011. Hey, what do you think white white looking pretty good?

0:11You got the upgraded headlights

0:13So it's that more that Lexus same same with the tail lights

0:18The owner also upgraded very cool. It's all tinted out now. We're gonna do a very important install because

0:26I mean, if you're watching this you already know

0:28He is rocking a

0:31Alpine head unit right now and he sent it constantly disconnecting the buttons on

0:39Pressing like goast, but you even know he's not pressing it. It like it presses on its own

0:44So we're gonna take this head unit out

0:47It's a nice looking Alpine head unit, and I'm actually a big fan of Alpine but compared to these Android head units

0:55Hard to beat, it's hard to beat

0:58Let's just do a quick comparison

1:00This is the I doing head unit, which is one of my favorite brands

1:07Look at that

1:08Boom the screen is so much significantly bigger and the paint match

1:14I don't know what kit he has right here. The paint match is actually another you can pick that up

1:21It's gonna be better as well

1:24It's hard to hit up with the lighting the angles and everything

1:27But it should be a pretty easy

1:29Uninstall so I'm gonna cut to a footage of me uninstalling the OEM head unit because I don't want you guys to see

1:36How to take this one off because most people are gonna have the specific

1:40Unit then we'll cut back to putting the new head unit in

1:43That's what I just want to show you is the screen quality

1:47Oh

1:48Oh, oh my gosh, this is insanely slow

1:51Resolutions absolutely garbage

1:54Colors are very muted

2:00Looks so 1990s my goodness firsted

2:04First you need to do is you can remove the shift knob

2:07You're gonna have to remove this whole trim piece and I know it sounds kind of frightening

2:13But it's very easy so to unscrew you left a loose it that bad boys comes out

2:24So put that somewhere safe. I'm gonna put on the passenger seat. Next thing off is you just pull for this

2:30You just grab it and pull and there are two clips. They're just plastic clips

2:35so looking too strong

2:39Grab and pull and that's gonna reveal two

2:42Phillips screws which we will have to unscrew so

2:46Get the tool

2:48This is a little small one. So I'll have a little more of a smaller. I like using small screw drivers because inside of a car

2:58There's a lot of room these screws. You definitely want to keep in a safe place

3:05Usually I put these in a cup holder. I'm just gonna put it in a cup holder because it does have a door

3:10So maybe it won't get lost. So now you can pull this out

3:14But you have this trend down here blocking it

3:19So I don't know you see that you see the trim piece. It's this trim piece right here. Not the bottom one

3:33So you get this trim piece and I just use my hands, but you can pry it open

3:39Kind of slowly like this. I'll show you where the clips are at so that it makes more sense

3:44So there you go the clips there's three clips up here and there's the two clips that kind of

3:50You kind of put it down and it goes in. So you kind of want to start. I like starting from here

3:57So you saw where I pulled it from or on this

4:00Shifter because these clips right here are a lot weaker and it's away from the spray point

4:05So now that with that piece gone

4:08we can

4:10Go further

4:11All right, so the next step is we can try to pull this out, but we're gonna have issues with just shifter

4:19So with this shifter lever here, you're gonna see a little button right here now make sure your car is in

4:26It's in park right now, but you need to have your parking brake engage and the parking brake is on the left of your brake pedal

4:34Have that pushed down because when you shift it to into a gear

4:39You I mean, you're not you're not in parking anymore

4:42So keep that mine too when you start your car. Sometimes other cars will detect that and they won't

4:49bother you with it, but so you're gonna have that and we're out there

4:57Remove this trim too

5:21Here a little seam and it's kind of hard to get in camera. Just pull that out

5:30Now there is wires up for the cigarette lighter

5:36But boom look at that all

5:39It got six boats. I know the lighting's a little bit harsh

5:45But you know bear with me

5:49The clips on this right here if you guys have a hard time is

5:53Is right here

5:55And this is where I pulled in this section right here where it's a little bit weaker these clips aren't as strong as these yellow clips right here

6:03So try to pull from this one and I pulled from both sides straight up

6:10Okay, so

6:12Now that we had that out of the way

6:14You don't have to unplug it. You can just kind of twist it like this

6:21And then we just have to remove this piece right here

6:24The reason why we had to remove this piece right here, which is slide out a little bit and then you'll be able to

6:30Who unplug the cigarette lighter and then he also has an ox porch both used to be very useful at the time

6:41Not so much anymore now these are these ports are held by clips

6:49So there's a little plug in the back of them and you just unplug them

6:54And this is how the plucks look like and you can see there's little clips

7:06Sorry, there's little clips and you just squeeze it and then pull the cable out

7:11Squeeze it pull the cable out and

7:15I was saying this now reveals the two 10 millimeter bolts down here

7:21So we finally got it what holds this head unit together is two tens right here and two tens above here, and that's it

7:30so

7:31all right

7:33so

7:34You can see that this is a point of view, so we look in

7:41Now you'll see a 10 somewhere around here and

7:44Ten somewhere around here, so there's two of them remove those and we are done on the bottom

7:52drop it about a boom

8:04About to be one more to go your fingers and

8:09Ta-da that's exactly what you

8:14Good thing I still see it make sure you don't lose these in the capper

8:19Now the top piece is a little bit more

8:23Risky I say risky because this the Toyota trim right here this dashboard

8:29It's there was a recall in it because it's not very good

8:33It gets kind of gooey and it kind of breaks down so the plastic or whatever they use here

8:39It it like deforms and stuff, so when you're prying at it try to be very careful

8:46You're gonna have to pry this open somehow without damaging your dash

8:51so

8:53Just kind of go easy at first see how the dash takes it so it's it's because of Toyota and

9:05The quality on their dash

9:07This one seems good. I kind of taken it slow

9:13My little trim tool. Yes, you can use a flathead, but for this part

9:19I would definitely try to find a plastic pry tool

9:22Which is included

9:24At least in my eye doing it. There you go

9:39Somehow some way this event stayed on it pop that off

9:55Okay, and then as pop this vent back in

10:01So the way these vents work is there's little tabs and

10:07Push it back in

10:11You can give you with that there you go and make sure it's clipped onto here

10:20There you go

10:22So yeah, we'd that I would say that's the hardest part and

10:26What was great is there was no damage to the dash and

10:32And get close up so you guys can see it reveals two tens right there

10:39See if I can brighten it up for you. I can see one two

10:45So let's remove those and we should be golden all right, so

10:58After you remove the two bolts up top and the two bolts down below

11:03This is where things

11:05Go a little more you think it's put some muscle into it. We call this the prey and pull that just means be careful when you're pulling it

11:13Nothing else is holding it besides clips and you just pull which I just did now

11:19I like to put a little microfiber towel to kind of help any like if it falls down or something like that it protects like the paint

11:27here

11:29So you just pull it down and

11:31That just reveals all the plugs now. It's in an awkward angle

11:36So I am gonna have to just pull it out and you guys are just gonna have to do that on your own

11:41Without me can't really seeing it, but I will pull

11:46one

11:48two

11:52Three, so there's three plugs on the head unit and then now there's two more antennas on the head unit, so

12:04one two and

12:06Then don't forget we are also messing with the AC down the below

12:11So we're gonna have to unplug the AC, which is a great plug and

12:19And voila, that's it. So let me show you guys again

12:26There's I know this shows four, but there was three plugs here two antennas and

12:33Then we have the AC now your car might vary because this is a US model and it's also always a lot of different kind of

12:41configurations, but for my configurations that's how it was

12:45All right, welcome back to present time. So we removed that Alpine head unit and now we're gonna install the I doing head unit

12:54once again to this axis area

12:57You have a bunch of packets and all this harnesses I do it makes it very easy

13:03To set it up because

13:07I doing even all these harnesses will give you extra features if you look at the back of these I doing head units

13:13Use the OEM wiring

13:16so

13:17All you have to do is you don't have to put in your harnesses you just plug straight in to the back of this

13:25all these

13:26Three white ones right here plug into the back and then you have your AM FM radio right here as well

13:34All right, so we are done uninstluing that aftermarket head unit. We are back in the present time

13:43Here we will see these three harnesses the great thing about the I doing head units is you don't have to plug in any extra harnesses

13:52You just plug in this

13:54You'll get your power your sound and everything and this is for your radio

14:00Intetta now if you want to hook up additional accessories

14:03We have additional accessories right here like for RCA jack out

14:08Let me just show you

14:10Now these are extras you don't technically need them

14:14This is for for G LTE antenna some people especially the United States we don't really use SIM cards in our head units

14:26This one is if you want to opt in for a reverse camera

14:30Which we didn't hear

14:34So it's good to have a reverse camera

14:36Here are your RCA jacks

14:38So if you were gonna redo the whole audio system and want to hook up to every single speaker like this

14:45You can

14:48Next off is USB and actually we're gonna we're gonna plug in this USB the great thing about these USBs

14:55They have two right here and there are they are labeled like an arrow and TLS

14:59I usually route these to the glove box

15:05Also the customer here uses an extra USB one of these

15:11cheap ones right here

15:13To power his reverse

15:15Or not reverse, but they're wireless chargers

15:19So we're just gonna have it hidden so the wiring is nice and clean for him for the wireless charger

15:25This simply plugs in to the back you can't really mess this up because they only go one way

15:30So you can try to plug it you'll see a notch and because of the notch, you know it fits right here

15:36No, you can't mess it up because it only fits one way

15:42I'm going through the bag some more

15:45GPS antenna, so this GPS antenna doesn't use your phone's GPS

15:50It uses a built-in GPS within the head unit itself and I can show you how to wire that real quick

15:58Now you could route this to the top of the dashboard, but because this user only uses apple car play

16:05This is more like a last resort if you strand it and needs to use the built-in GPS

16:12I've actually done this right here and it picks up the signal perfectly fine

16:16Just having it at the top and you want to get the one that says GPS

16:22The other two are the for the 4G

16:26Internet which we're not going to use and they just kind of it just screws on

16:32Make sure it is snug and now you have GPS antenna plugged in

16:41Next off is another additional USB now USBs are pretty useful

16:46So I am also going to wear this extra USB into this car

16:51This one only has four little pins and they match it up with the four little pins right here boom there we go

17:03Last I guess what's it? We're almost done with the baggie

17:07This is for the SIM card reader. You want to see how it looks like

17:12You put your little SIM card in there

17:16That's actually pretty handy. I know I have the SIM card on my

17:21Tesla

17:22I pay like an extra ten dollars a month

17:27But this car already has apple car play and then lastly you want to hook this up

17:32This one has the microphone attachment where if you want to attach an additional microphone and it also has the Wi-Fi

17:39antenna built in

17:41So we're just going to do that right here

17:44And we're going to plug it in

17:46In the winter so this is this little baby antenna. It's going to give us all the goods we need

17:53And in this bag, we have an extra USB and

18:04FMAM

18:07Adapter which we don't need to use because the OEM one works

18:12But it's good that they give it to you just in case you have a

18:15Weird model

18:17Here's the a microphone now the current microphone is

18:23installed after marketing and it's just kind of like this

18:29It's kind of just I don't know dangling like that

18:33So I'm just going to install it

18:36Now there's one on the front of the head unit already if you can cut this here it there

18:42Which is fine

18:43But sometimes the AC vents below around that area so I'm just install it just kind of right in front of the dash like right here

18:55And that's how I'm going to pull it just right there

18:58so it's not dangling and

19:01You get your facing forward and talking to the mic which is the best quality you can get

19:06So you can just I mean this part you kind of just fish it through and now it's in

19:21Now it depends on how you want it you can either tape it right here

19:26Which might look a little bit cleaner or have it a little bit higher

19:31And it kind of latches on right here

19:35It would look a little bit

19:37nicer

19:39But I'll give the owner

19:41Here's preference so it comes with tape

19:46Double-sided tape that if you want to mount it on the steering we'll call them instead of like this dash trim piece

19:53But yeah, that looks a lot nicer than having it kind of dangles like

19:57Literally dangling the aftermarket side up he did and you can see

20:03Where this thing is

20:06That's kind of

20:10All right, so we have the USBs go to the glove box

20:15It's basically just I just kind of tuck my hand through there and put this wire out

20:20I have the microphone coming from the top and it kind of just swings through this little hole

20:25Very good

20:29I have a little USB that kind of this we're out of down here

20:32This is optional this is because he wants a wireless charger

20:35So I have it right there for him

20:38And then I have nothing plugged in besides those those ports we talked about

20:43The USBs I do need a re-plug

20:46This is a little tight

20:49Now we just plug in those

20:51three white harnesses to the back of the head unit right here

20:57Do ones that fit this is a 10 pin which

21:00powers everything in terms of accessories when you have the car on accessory when you have it to on

21:06It also powers a front speakers and it also powers the

21:11Illuminate so when you turn your headlights it tells the head unit that it is on

21:15These the six pin right here is for the rear speakers

21:20There's like

21:22Yeah rear speakers right there

21:26That should do it

21:28These ones let's see what it plugs into

21:31I believe that's a 20 pin or I don't know exactly about one two three four five six seven eight nine ten

21:3920 pin this generally controls the stereo control

21:42So yes, we're gonna retain the stereo controls on this bad boy if you have issues with stereo controls

21:47It will be this hot one

21:49That's pretty much it we plug everything in

21:54Oh, forgot the radio

21:56And there's a big two connectors. You can only really plug the

22:01FM one right here

22:03boom

22:04So we have that plug did

22:07And you can get it kind of get us seated right here to see how it looks like

22:12And it looks amazing now this gray wire the bottom is gonna be for your

22:18Climbing control system

22:21Let me go get that

22:24So your client control system is right here and then you have that bottom plug the way this latch is on

22:30As you'll see these little notches

22:33So start from the left

22:35And then it slides to the right so now it's on there

22:38And we want that because this thing kind of gets clipped in to make it more secure

22:45But I'm gonna plug it in first just for a little more room

22:48And then you just slide it in

22:51boom

22:58So we got it in there and now I just want to test it to make sure it works

23:12boom that booted up really fast

23:15Said you can hear the sound

23:17Awesome amazing

23:21Now I'm gonna move to the

23:28Optimal point so he has a wireless charger right here

23:34And I have that USB where I was talking about sorry for the chime

23:38It's gonna be really short

23:42So we're gonna see if it charges an iPhone 15 Pro Max

23:46There you go it does charge

23:48So

23:50Amazing

23:51We are good there

23:52So here's another wire

23:58Yeah, just kind of wrap everything up in reverse and we're good to go

24:15All right, so check everything that works AC that works

24:20Beautiful

24:21i now let's go over the head unit real quick

24:25We have been the I doing settings or the the home screen it looks beautiful

24:30Carbit Apple card play this does have the screen protector on or right now

24:34So these are like not the ones that are technically a screen protector

24:37But just protects the screen during shipping

24:40So if you want to peel it off we can I'm gonna leave it to the

24:43customer to see if they want to do that

24:47Now here's some settings that I want to go through

24:50Wireless this is for your Wi-Fi

24:53Device has all a bunch of stuff. Let's go through it real quick

24:56Screen brightness

24:58When your headlights are on and off you can see that

25:01When I try on the headlights you can probably barely see that

25:04But it does activate the

25:07Little lights

25:10There you go, so you can see that

25:12GPS storage apps now something I don't like is that beep sound every time you touch it

25:17It's good for tactile feedback, but I it's just kind of annoying to me

25:22So you got that amp on

25:25Let's just all default

25:30So that's good

25:31General here's some general stuff

25:34Cameras, I don't know the

25:38Looks like it's got white light

25:40So you can change the light of this if you want it to

25:43so

25:44Red

25:46Blue just keep it white

25:48You can also do RGB

25:50Now something I do need to get to is the steering control

25:54Because

25:55There's Alpine head unit to have steering controls

25:57But we need to hook them up with some steering controls

25:59So you go to this screen right here

26:01You just hold

26:03You see how it you see how it kind of does that

26:08That's how you program it

26:10So I'll do it in real time for you

26:12So this is volume down you hold it you press that

26:16Volume up you hold it press that

26:19Next

26:21Skip

26:23Mode mode can be

26:27Is home there you go

26:30So now

26:32You kind of see the volume slider right there

26:35We're moving it up and down

26:37Next on next track

26:39Beautiful

26:40AMFM radio

26:41That is the

26:43It's like you're getting a signal

26:50Great so we got that

26:52Settings

26:54Factory settings

26:55I think the the passwords always change with this

26:58So I will leave the password down there

27:02Because sometimes it's like this

27:04I don't know maybe

27:10Yeah, I don't want to keep trying

27:11They change all the time

27:13The lay power went off

27:17This is

27:19When your car is off

27:21Keep the head unit running for a certain amount of time

27:24Some people like that I know like luxury cars do that

27:26So when you turn your car off

27:27Your music still playing

27:32But yeah that's pretty much the set up apple car play

27:34I'm gonna hook it up with the customer

27:37See if he's okay with me filming

27:39But if not

27:42If you guys were interested in this product

27:44I'll leave the link down below

27:45This is 2024 head unit IPS display

27:48It's bright

27:49Crispy

27:51It's a really nice Christmas play
