Toyota Tundra 2007–2013 / Sequoia: iDoing Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Head Unit Install

0:13Alright, so we have a, this is the Tundra, and we actually have an Android head unit in here already.

0:22Now when the Android head units first came out, they weren't as good as they are right now.

0:28There's the iDoing one to be a much more powerful, better technology, and, well,

0:34I have the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and that's the reason why we're upgrading to the newer one.

0:39and you can even tell just the difference. Alright, so we have it for the most part

0:51installed and, and the unit's removed and this is the OEM harness. I'll go over the

0:58wiring because that's usually the most difficult

0:59difficult part when it comes to installing and tell you what each thing

1:03does. Right here is for your FM radio. I'll go to this one right here. This is

1:10the Toyota 10 pin and this Toyota 10 pin carries most of the main functions

1:15when it comes to accessory which is when you turn your key on it powers it on. It also has constant

1:21power, grounding, controls of front speakers, dimmer and sometimes controls the amp which

1:28looks like it's missing those two pins right there. So that's that. Right here is generally

1:35the steering wheel controls but anyhow it likes to move things around or back of camera if this

1:40car had it same with these ones they're just like accessories this one right

1:45here is blue this is for you USB which is right

1:49here so if you want to retain the USB which we're we're going to do so you can

1:53plug in the USB to charge the iPhone or Android Auto Apple Card Play you, you can

1:58plug in it right there. Lastly this is also the main one this is

2:04ones for the rear speakers. Driver rear, passenger rear. And that's all the

2:10cords we need to worry about. Now the main ones were the 10 pin and the 6 pin

2:16which carries the speakers and that's going to be located right here. 10 pin and

2:20Now they only go one way, so you plug it in and it will just fit in the burp.

2:28You don't have to force it or anything.

2:30anything like that. So we're actually going to do that right now. We're just

2:34plugging the 10 pin and not really worry about the other stuff and the 6 pin.

2:41The reason why I do this is just to make sure the unit works and fires up. We're

2:46just gonna place this gently on here and put the keys on and hopefully it

2:54turns on. So I'm putting an accessory in the fires right up. So we have the

3:10screen showing up and Instant Boot which was insane for me and now

3:13we can hear the audio so we're in good shape here. The next thing I would want

3:18to do is to test it is just check up Bluetooth and play a song. Do you want

3:24to use your phone. So we got a bluetooth here and then we go to the little app hit

3:33that search and now it's going to go look for my phone right here. So it says I

4:03it so it's zero zero zero clear sure and then- then it's gonna prompt me to do

4:14Android Auto. So you can geti get out of here and then

4:21believe it's car

4:23or Z. it's 2.

4:34So they use Android or Apple?

4:36Android.

4:37Okay so it's all wireless and you're driving now this is n

4:41main feature that everybody wants to do when they have a car

4:45is just use Android Auto. I actually have a Tesla

4:53I actually have a Tesla and I actually prefer using Android Auto. It's just faster, smooth

5:00the search is better and the resolution and everything looks so clean so more of

5:05it's just a better experience and this is Android Auto it's just amazing so I

5:13have Spotify open right now and then things are installed on my phone would

5:22just for like charging messages if I if someone text me it'll show up right

5:28here which is really nice if I get calls it's all it's all right here and it's all

5:32like it's like you have a 2022 tundra maybe even better weather and stuff like

5:38that you can even do teams calls you know you're working get your teams call

5:43right there game relates if you have kids they can play games now I haven't

5:49tested this but kind of like how Tesla has games you can put games and the

5:55I've never messed with these but that's.

5:58That's what game snacks is it's included in Android so it's everything on the phone I

6:03didn't sell that so great we know it works we have sound and it's all wireless

6:09which is it's beautiful so let's just finish the other wiring and then we're

6:16pretty much set here because we know that it works. Alright so we have it working

6:23when it comes to audio, Bluetooth, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay so the next thing we

6:29want to do is make sure the steering control work which we don't have plugged in yet.

6:33I'm just going to have to pull this a little bit. Do you have a towel or something?

6:38I just don't want to scratch. So I usually like plastic my scratch and stuff so I kind of like

6:44using a towel to hold it where we can show, just

6:48to be a little bit more safe.

6:50Now, we have other plugs in here, which we can use to plug in.

6:55So I try to plug in anything you see.

7:11So we plugged in this bigger pin.

7:15Not sure if that's the steering wheel controls.

7:22I'm going to pull out this bag that has so many harnesses,

7:25which is a little bit daunting.

7:32But this, this one will plug into the back of your head unit, if you want to have, if you don't have a backup camera do you?

7:40If you want a backup camera, you can and you can the install it, we don't have a backup camera here and it has more functionalities like

7:50Reverse amp control, this car had like the JBL system which it doesn't keys and stuff like that

7:57that so we're going to just plug it in but we don't have that functionality and

8:01we have another USB so we're going to test out the USB as well let's just

8:07focus on this we're just going to plug it to the back because it does have some

8:12extra wiring and actually shows you which way to plug it in I just like

8:37having everything plugged in in general just so we know we have all the

8:47functionalities next is the USB so because it has it directly plugged into the

8:54head unit you don't have like an extension harness you know you wouldn't

8:58have another harness where it's in between it usually gives you a little

9:02more wiggle room so it's a little harder to record jeez I can't even untwist the twist time

9:08Yeah I was doing it the right way and then

9:12I did it the wrong way. So USB and then again it really only fits one way. I can

9:21show you guys after I have everything. So we did the USB right here and so we

9:35have to get that original OEM harness. So right now we have radio and then we

9:40have this extra one that we are not using then there's the USB and there's

9:49another one. These extra ones might control another function

9:53but it might not even matter. So

10:00because we're trying to hook up the USB.

10:05This is for the radio, which we don't need,

10:08because we're just going to be,

10:11depending on your harness sometimes,

10:13Toyota has a different plug.

10:15This plug actually just plugs straight into the back,

10:19which I will show you as well.

10:21So this is a USB adapter to have it so we should be able to use this

10:30that's spee adapter to have it so we should be able to use this USB that's in theory if it fits

10:32so we should be able to plug it in like this

10:41if it doesn't then that's a shame

10:55it looks like it's a different plug

10:58So unfortunately, this plug doesn't fit.

11:02Again, that's a bummer.

11:05But you would have to buy a different one.

11:08I know Toyota uses two different styles.

11:10So if you look at this one right here,

11:13this one usually plugs into a gray version.

11:16And then this, this blue one usually

11:17plugs into a black one.

11:18So I actually had the black one on another car

11:22where I had to use it for a Subaru at crazy enough.

11:25and that adapter is 10 bucks.

11:28So we won't be able to retain this

11:30with a kit that they installed.

11:33They provided us, unfortunately.

11:37But we can route that USB somewhere else if necessary.

11:46And let me show you, so that's about it.

11:50Next off is we have this blue wire, which we do need,

11:53so we can have a stronger WiFi signal.

11:55Now we were using Android Auto earlier without the antenna.

11:59so the signal is probably really weak.

12:02When we plug this in, the antenna's gonna be a lot stronger,

12:05we'll be able to get better reception.

12:09This one's a four pin,

12:10and then you can tell by where it's marked right here,

12:14so you can tell where you should put it.

12:17Boom.

12:18So now we actually have an antenna

12:19and we should have better signal.

12:22And here iss the FM/AM radio antenna,

12:27which we plugged in, which is nice.

12:30So right now AM FM radio this one is not needed. This is if you have a backup camera

12:37USB which we just kind of have it dangling right here now

12:41We can route this to the glove box or somewhere else or we can purchase a adapter so we can use this

12:49This is this blue one right here is our Wi-Fi signal antenna. So you want to make sure you have that plugged in I

12:56I believe it's a steering control that I'm not too sure yet and then we have our main

13:01main one which is a 10 pin 6 pin.

13:03So let's flip this around and see if we can get our serial with our

13:16Controls

13:26to show, because it's actually really bright. You have to go to your application drawer

13:31and then you follow by control. So let me zoom out. Hopefully you guys can see it might

13:38look kind of blurry. But you see how when I'm pressing the buttons there's some kind

13:44of reaction. So the way steering controls work is each button has its own resistance.

13:53What that means is when I press this minus it's basically putting some resistance into

13:58the wire, let's say 10, and I put the volume up, maybe resistant 15, next 20, etc.

14:09So it's not mapped right now, what you do is you hold the volume down, you go to the

14:14screen and you set this volume down and use that a number, then I hit volume up,

14:23it's volume up in the previous song. Next song, and there's a bunch of ones that you don't have here,

14:34which is fine. For this mode button, I'm going to use it as home for pick up. I am going to use

14:45the pick up. So you can, and if you say you never use these buttons, you can map it to

14:49something else like mute or turn off you can have it so it instantly goes to the

14:56camera if you have that that's a nice feature that I count

15:00like to have because in in my car I like to have like a front camera and a back of

15:05camera so if you press that mode you can have just the camera show up which is

15:09nice so now I should be able to have a volume control if I go up down all the

15:18controls so yeah you don't have a knob now but now you have this which is

15:23nice. And then wireless right now, and let's let's, can we plug in this real quick to see

15:32if the USB is charging. So we have a USB, make sure the USB works. My phone is charging.

15:45And it's charging decently. It's not fast charging anything, but it'll charge, generally

15:52from my experience, it'll charge faster than your OEM1. The OEM1 will usually only

15:59So it'll charge it at a faster rate where your battery just looks like it's going nowhere.

16:06So yeah, we have pretty much everything we need to install AM FM radio.

16:12We can actually test that run at too, just to make sure we have signal.

16:30So we do have signal, which is great.

16:33And then to hold a preset, so this is 1.2.5 here.

16:37And then bam, now every time we go to this one, it's going to be that.

16:41and you can set your presets, which is awesome.

16:45Now you said, okay, there's a bunch of these wires,

16:47why didn't you install it yet?

16:51This one is for the 4G capability,

16:53so if you, you wanna have LTE connection to your phone,

16:57you can, of course, you can put a SIM card,

17:00but we're not gonna do.

17:02These are extra USBs, we can add them to the back.

17:06It has more, more clutter, but if you,

17:08that's something you're interested into,

17:10Go ahead and that where you have three USBs and so on and so forth.

17:14Now this is RCA inputs and outputs for your subwoofer and if you have RCA component.

17:26This is for your LTE SIM card, so that's where you would put the SIM card.

17:30You can use your phone's zoom card.

17:33So if you want to test that.

17:36GPS antenna, we're actually going to install it.

17:38So let me just put this thing here.

17:42GPS antenna.

17:45So you're like, okay.

17:51You're like, okay.

17:55We already just installed, we saw like Google Maps

17:59and Waze and stuff like that.

18:01Why do we need to install GPS antenna?

18:03Yes when you're pulling Android Auto it uses GPS on your phone. Let's say you lost your phone or something like that and

18:10You need to find your way home. This will help and you're like, okay

18:14There's no internet connection though because I don't have my Etsy think of this more like a Tom Tom or a Garmin

18:20You don't need that it just it looks at the satellites and I don't know where you're at

18:24that. So, when it comes to these insoles, some people put it on the top. I'll tell you,

18:29I just put it right here, and it's easy, it's fast, and I rarely use it, but when I do, it

18:35actually still has a touch connection. Look for the GPS lettering. I like how they have

18:41these little... and then you just screw it on. The other two ones are for 4G, which

18:50we are not using because like it's nice to have but here in America we're just

18:59gonna use Android Auto and we're just gonna use the connection offer phone

19:02it's nice because Android Auto doesn't or Apple CarPlay also doesn't need hot

19:06spot so you don't have to pay that for that extra it just works and that's

19:13pretty much what's left in here oh there's one last thing is microphone now

19:19Now for my experience, we actually did a test where we used this microphone versus the

19:24microphone.

19:25They sound exactly the same, in terms of quality, except this is ugly because you have to route

19:30this around.

19:31This is extra work.

19:32So I, I, I, you know, I had this microphone placed right here, I think you know it looks

19:39ugly, but it sounds better just using the microphone on the screen.

19:46we're not going to install that so all all this stuff is not going to be

19:54installed that's just mostly for 4g

20:00subwoofer stuff that you just don't need other than that. Yeah, we're gonna wrap

20:05this up. Alright, so we're just basically pushing back in. Make sure it's all lying here.

20:15There you go. This one actually doesn't have a connector, right? No. For some

20:27reason. So we have that popped in. And lastly, they're all, it's just held by

20:35plastic clips. There you go. It's a beautiful beautiful dog. Check that out. Let's look at the fitment. That's really important. Nice clearance right here. Nice tolerance all the way around. Looking good right here. There's a slight little bit loose right here but

21:07um yeah and then we just got turned on this thing have you seen the new tundress yeah a

21:15big screen i have it oh you have it in the sun oh man so we have it right here um looking beautiful

21:26this unit looks amazing what's really nice is it's a glass so the other um the oem one was

21:38Yeah, we'll keep it up out for now you keep it on look at the man, you know, we can't do the whole

21:44Sound but we're all good, so yeah. Thank you guys for watching. I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace
