Upgrade Wireless Double Din Car Stereo with Carplay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, 4-Channel RCA, High Power, 2 Subwoofer Ports, 7" HD Capacitive Touchscreen Car Radio, Backup Camera, Audio Receiver

I agree with many of the positive reviews: great sound quality, straightforward installation, and solid features. Installed on a 2014 Toyota Corolla. Manual: The manual is very clear and well-designed. They didn’t try to cram everything into fewer pages, and I appreciate the multiple QR codes that link directly to help videos. It’s nice to see a company put real effort into documentation. Setup & Interface: I appreciate a setup menu that’s clean and easy to read without feeling cluttered. Everything is well-labeled and intuitive. Use & Performance: So far, everything works great. Android Auto connects via Bluetooth (no USB cable required), which is a big improvement over my old system. Even though I programmed the steering wheel controls for volume, I still prefer using the knob. Although it is very subjective, for me, it has more volume than I need. The equalizer has more bands than I expected, and the screen is bright and clear. I haven’t had to adjust the default brightness, even in full sunlight. For the phone connection I've been told the built in microphone "works fine" which means I didn't have to run a microphone like I've seen was needed on some other radios. Why 5 Stars Instead of 4: Value: For the price, it performs better than expected in several areas. Clear Instructions: After seeing so many bad manuals, I really appreciate one that’s thoughtful and easy to follow. Customer Service: I reached out with a question about firmware updates and received a quick, helpful response. Notes & Tips: The system lets you adjust the rear camera alignment lines. In my setup, they could be shifted just a little, but it’s great that adjustment is even an option. If you’re using Android Auto, the default on-screen navigation/menu buttons appear vertically along the left side (next to the physical buttons). You can change them to a horizontal bar across the bottom, which I found easier to use.

I installed this unit on a 2016 Honda CR-V without navigation (note, you'll need to buy a wiring harness and dash trim kit but that would be true of the most expensive head unit on the market). The process was as easy as possible and the instructions were clear. I had previously upgraded my stock speakers but the settings on the factory head unit still made them sound terrible. This was my first head unit install in years so I was pretty much starting from scratch. The whole thing took about 30 minutes once I had the harness wired up. Once I installed the unit, I adjusted the EQ (which was impossible in the stock unit) and the speakers came alive. I never write reviews but as long as this thing lasts a few years, I will consider this an excellent purchase. Pros: - Exceptional value (assuming it lasts for at least a few years): This unit performs exactly as expected. I was worried about screen lag and limited functionality but I'm shocked at its features for the price. It feels very light compared to some electronics I've used in the past but I'm not totally sure that's a strong indicator of quality. - Screen responsiveness: This was a major concern of mine. I assumed that the screen would be pretty terrible given the price but I was willing to accept that as a tradeoff for a non-name-brand unit. I was pleasantly surprised that my device is incredibly responsive. I don't notice any lag whatsoever once things are all loaded up. - Customizability/Software updates: Once you get the unit and provide proof of purchase, customer service provides free software updates and custom car logos so your launch screen has a more factory-feel. - Sound: The ability to control the EQ frequencies is a game-changer for my vehicle. The stock head unit and speakers sounded terrible. After a cheap speaker upgrade, it still sounded awful. Worse, actually. Once I installed this new head unit, I was able to deliver the right frequencies to the speakers to get way better sound out of them. - Wireless Carplay: I synced my phone and had carplay running in minutes. I had never used carplay before and thought it would be kinda worthless because I can just use my phone in "car mode". I was seriously wrong. Carplay alone is worth the upgrade to this system. - Customer service: So far, their customer service has been very responsive via email. Sending me software updates and new screen savers - Physical buttons/knobs: One of the main reasons I ended up with this particular unit was because I like the volume knob. I think about trying to operate a touch screen in the winter with gloves on or quickly turn down the volume because a kid is yammering at me from the back seat…I don't want to have to use a touch screen for that personally. Cons - iPhone screen mirroring: I have yet to figure out a way for me to mirror my iPhone. It's not something I intend to use often but it would be nice to have.

Overall: 4 stars 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer (CP9A) Why is it for DIYers? This is a great entry level head unit. As you've read from other reviews there are some troubleshooting that you'll need to fix from time to time and if you are somebody who just wants to pay somebody to install this and do not like, want or cannot figure things out please look somewhere else. If you are a DYIer like myself this is not an issue. Pro's: - Feature to price. This thing has a lot features that you'll only see above the $500 range from other name brand companies. - Installation is straight forward. I do not understand on what other reviewers are saying that they had to make their own diagram to connect the unit? Just like any other head units it's a lot easier to purchase a harness and mounting frame that matches the make and model of your vehicle just like any other aftermarket head unit. Also, there is a diagram on the instructions and you can youtube or google anything nowadays. Furthermore, yes you do need tools to install or fix things. - Manual Control Knob. Touch screen is ok, but manual controls are still my preferences. - Carplay and Android Auto works great with no issues. Con's: - This thing is picky with which USB it wants to work with. I've reached out to support because some MP4/WMV files will play and some will not. I received a response that if the file is too big it won't play. The issue that I get is some movies as big as 5 GB's will play with no issues and some videos with 20 MB's will have the file not supported issue or I would get the spinning loading screen... - This is random and my biggest complaint as this is the reason for the purchase to have a dedicated music/video/movie player without requiring a phone or internet. *** Update *** I was able to reduce the issue by using a smaller 32 GB USB/SD card, I think 256 GB of music/videos/ movies takes too long for the unit read. - Dedicated DSP. I have aftermarket 4 channel speakers and I've read a lot of reviews that this thing is loud, but I do not have this. Rather, it doesn't' have the same bass punch as the 12 years old Carrozzeria unit that I replaced it with. I'm glad I have a dedicated powered subwoofer to push the bass in my car, I may install an amp to push the other speakers in the future. I would like to have: - Two features cannot work the same time. For example, you cannot play music from USB/SD card while you are using maps from Car Play/Android Auto. - There is no website support to update the unit and/or change boot logo without emailing the support team. I would rather have the option of downloading the update file and have the option of changing the boot log/ wallpaper without waiting up to 24 hours. - UI response is not instantaneous or snappy. But, has a slight delay. Does not bother me, but something to point out. - The website states the dashcam supports up to 32GB of sd card, but nothing states max capacity for the actual head unit. I reached out to support and their response is 64GB. I have yet to confirm this and will update once I do. - I would like for the dash cam and back up camera to be at least 1440P. But, not a deal breaker.

Installing the SJOY-W019 stereo in my 2000 Mazda Miata was one of the most satisfying upgrades I’ve done. From the moment I unboxed it, everything about this unit felt intuitive and well-designed. 🔧 Installation Was a Breeze The unit fit perfectly into the dash with minimal fuss. You have to order the correct harness for your car equipment. Wiring was straightforward, and the included harnesses were clearly labeled. For anyone comfortable with basic car audio installs, this is a plug-and-play dream. 🔊 Bose Amplifier Workaround If your Miata is equipped with the factory Bose system, be prepared for a small detour. The SJOY-W019 doesn’t natively support the Bose amp, so I had to bypass it using a use harness from a bose amplifier in ebay It’s a manageable fix, but worth noting for those expecting full compatibility out of the box. 🎨 Looks That Elevate the Cabin The sleek, modern design of the SJOY-W019 instantly refreshed the interior. The touchscreen is crisp and responsive, and the interface feels premium without being flashy. It complements the Miata’s classic aesthetic beautifully. 🧭 User-Friendly Interface Navigation through menus is smooth, and the layout is intuitive. Whether you’re adjusting audio settings or switching between apps, everything is just a tap away. It would be nice if the icons could be arranged based on your commonly used. Car Play and Android Auto work great. Bluetooth pairing was instant, and the unit remembers devices reliably. 📸 Camera Integration Is Spot-On Both front and rear cameras synced flawlessly. The image quality is sharp, and the switching logic (reverse trigger, manual toggle) works exactly as expected. It’s a huge boost in safety and convenience, especially in a low-slung roadster like the Miata. It would be nice to add a front parking camera, because the Miata is so low. If you're restoring or upgrading a classic car and want a stereo that blends modern tech with timeless style, the SJOY-W019 is a fantastic choice. Just be ready to tackle the Bose amp workaround if needed—and once you do, it’s smooth sailing from there.

I'll preface this review by saying that I have been a car audio hobbyist for over 40 years and have experience installing everything from simple replacement radios to high end, multi-amplifier, separate-component car audio systems. This is not my first installation, and I come to this subject with knowledge, standards, and some expectations. With that in mind, I can honestly say that I am impressed with the SJoyBring JOY-W019. It is *a lot* better than it needs to be at its price point. I put this unit in our 2002 Honda Accord (250k+ miles), which is rough-looking but stupidly reliable, despite being on hospice-level care for the last 5 years. Until now this car lacked modern A/V and navigation features, but the W019 fills that need, and it's a huge improvement! I just got back from completing a 500 mile road trip with the new head unit in the car, and I can share some thoughts on it. What I like: All of the features in the W019 (and bundled cameras!) seem to work as described!! The built-in feature set works: the built-in radio reception is very good, the software support for the cameras is fair/ok (and works ok once you get the hang of it), and most importantly, the CarPlay functionality is outstanding. The built-in mic works well enough for phone conversations, and I have not had any issues connecting my iPhone 12 Mini via wireless Apple CarPlay; imho the CarPlay system works *extremely* well, and since this was my main reason for purchase, I am quite happy about that! Now that my phone is paired to the W019 CarPlay appears automatically as soon as the console boots, which is within about 20 seconds of starting the vehicle. The JOY-W019 screen has very good resolution, and the touch screen seems to work as expected - no issues at all so far. The bundle I purchased included a dash cam and backup camera, and although the dash cam controls are a bit funky to use, the dash cam seems to work well (no issues retaining settings, it turns on automatically as expected, it has various parameters you can control via software and it remembers those settings, etc.). The backup camera feature also works well, though admittedly I am using a license plate frame-style backup camera made by another company. That works great with the W019 and hasn’t caused any issues, fwiw. What I like most: The wireless Apple CarPlay works seamlessly, and this 21yo vehicle now has reliable navigation, Spotify support, a built in EQ, and a subwoofer line out w/a several options for the crossover point. I am *very* pleased with this unit and these features! What I don’t like: I have not had any issues with their software, but SJoyBring could be more forthcoming about identifying the current version of the W019’s software on their website! The software in the W019 can be updated, if necessary, but SJoyBring doesn’t have any firmware info on their website, and you have to pry the info from them via email. It would be very helpful if they identified the current software version on their website and made updates to the current software version publicly available. Instead, you need to write to SJoyBring tech support and provide complete proof of purchase before they will provide *any* firmware info, and this makes for some tedious back-and-forth email exchanges. Other than that minor gripe, I really don’t have any other criticisms to offer. This unit far exceeds my expectations for a <$200 wireless Apple CarPlay compatible head unit with 4x 60W(-ish) output, various line outputs, and included front/rear cameras. TL;DR: I bought one of these and have used it for >500 miles. It seems to work well so far and I am very happy with my purchase.

I have to say I'm very impressed with this unit, especially for the price. I had previously purchased the joy d008 back in 2022. At that time wireless Android auto was not available even on the new car market. Although the screen mirroring worked and did what I needed it to do, I felt like it was time to upgrade. So I bought this new unit and I couldn't be happier. The install was super simple because I was upgrading from a previous Sjoybring unit, I didn't have to do any rewiring, all the plugs were exactly the same. The main reason I bought it was for the Android auto and that works better than expected. It connects automatically as soon as I start the car and very quickly. The touch screen is very responsive, and the sound quality is great. I do have aftermarket speakers so that may have something to do with it. If I had only one complaint, it's that when playing music on Android Auto with either Spotify, or Pandora, etc. the sound volume is not nearly as loud as when playing the radio. I can turn it up as far as it will go and it doesn't blow me out of the car. But that being said, with it turned all the way up, there's zero distortion. The quality of the camera is also very good, I used the same camera that I had installed with the previous unit. One funny thing with that is that the camera video gets a little staticy but after watching it I realize that it was in time with the music. There's a setting that allows you to mute the music while reversing and that makes the picture crystal clear. The other thing I liked was that I was able to contact the company after install and they sent me a file with a custom logo and upgraded firmware so I have all the latest stuff. Once again, All in all I am very impressed with this unit.

Technically it works but it definitely has its flaws -even with EQ tweaking the sound is not that great. Acceptable but far from amazing -bluetooth connection is hit or miss. Sometimes it quickly and automatically connects, other times I have to manually connect which leads to my 3rd issue; -every single time I manually connect all my custom EQ settings reset. Not only does it take a long time to manually connect but then I have to go into the settings and adjust all the EQ so it doesn't sound like muddy water. I just want to get in my truck and go, not spend several minutes messing around with the stereo. The touchscreen and reverse camera do all work but as a budget stereo you're definitely getting what you pay for. If you just want something to throw in your rig then it's fine but if you want to listen to high quality music I'd fork out for something a little better.

Just installed this radio in an 05 buick Rendezvous about 2 weeks ago and it was the perfect size to replace the factory radio. I has not disappointed. The touch screen has very vibrant color that is nice and bright, you can even customize your logo/wallpapers with a little help from the Sjoybring support team. It has great sound quality with an easy to use EQ system. Linking to an android phone was quick and easy with android auto, it also has the option to mirror your phone via a data transfer cable(sold separately). So far it has held up nicely and will update later down the line. The best part of this radio is it is backed by a great support team that is very helpful and is quick to respond to any issue you may have.
