ROFL.. I had a chat with ZWNAV seller on Aliexpress about the same model (MaxPAD 11.8") and they said the head unit does not support factory cameras... odd
anyways.. explained again my concerns and sent pictures. I've requested a picture with a connector frim this head unit which can connect with our audio connector.

(but from my experience working with asians/chinesse .. they almost all the time have positive answers but they are not telling the truth
sometimes because they don't understand and sometimes because they just don't care..)

anyways, now seriously, I really need to find a replacement for this piece of crap. A 10" or 11" would be perfect (the one you posted above is awesome) but I can survive with a 9" as well.
I'm very confused because there are just 2 ppl (you and I) trying to find a good replacement.. really? there are no other ppl here interested in this topic?:unsure:

I started following this because I'm interested in doing an upgrade as well. I'm not as concerned about screen size as I'm wanting to get carplay and retain back up cam and steering wheel controls.

hmm.. you don't have carplay and android auto available on your head unit? odd again
I have these features available on my HU but I need a decent android 9 or 10 head unit with at least 9" display. Keep in mind that I have a different level of equipment (trim) on my car. It's Executive, the highest trim sold in Eastern Europe, there 2 more: Elegance (mid class), Lifestyle (low class).

I have the LX (US spec) I'm guessing Lifestyle would be the closest match. No carplay or nav just bluetooth and ipod controls in mine.

My Joying HU would actually work for you perfectly. This guy actually installs the HU on his 17 LX, audio, rear camera with tracking (tracking doesn't work on the touring....no idea why but don't really care since it never was correct).

Installation
Updating

I actually really like the 9 inch. Having the volume knob is a plus (not that I can hear anything ATM lol) and access to the Hazard lights and vents not being blocked is safer.

And it's fast. Only issue that I have is because it's a Chinese HU, Netflix doesn't properly install because they have blocked all unauthorized units so now I have to find an older apk.

Also AA/CP will work too. I'm not promoting this product but if you're looking for a good HU for your LX/S/Lifestyle and you have 4 speaker set up, this is a good HU.

I was reading across different posts and does the Touring have the amp built into the head unit? And I'm currently in discussion with Joying and hopefully they'll have a fix for me or else I'll just end up selling this head unit to someone with an LX model

It looks like the gauge cluster is dependent to the original headunit or the joying headunit overrides something.

- reinstalling the oem headunit displays the wrench icon again

- reinstalling joying's headunit makes the wrench icon disappear. However, you can make it reappear by continuously pressing "Restore intial values" in Car Info > Vehicle personalization. I've already reached out to joying regarding this issue. I hope joying can fix it coz it's annoying 😵

When selecting the proper vehicle settings, it ended up disappearing from my cluster, but I was able to get it back by installing the original head unit

Are you able to access the maintenance minder?

Reviving this thread...

Today I was at a local Honda service for some checks.
Off-topic: an engineer is collecting evidence of an "issue". There is a sound (in high frequency) coming from the engine compartment that appears on decelerating (40km/h to 20km/h). This happened since the beginning, it didn't happen over the night. Though, that engineer is not familiar with this sound, have checked several Honda CRVs automated 2019 having this odd sound. I don't know if this is a bad sign or not, the car is working perfectly. I suppose the final resolution would be "all act the same, proper functionality, no issue".Anyways

On topic: I was complaining to this engineer about several negative aspects, one of which was the tablet. He put me in touch with another guy (highly likely knowing much more on this direction). I explained that I want to change my infotainment system because it's a crapy tablet with much fewer resources but I have several aspects which stop me in doing so:
1. amplifier existence which makes the aftermarket tables incompatible on the sound side
2. lower sound volume (I would say sound quality) on the rear doors speakers even though the equalizer was checked, no wrong settings like fader etc.

The guy explained to me that we can bypass the amplifier, basically wiring all speakers directly to another harness (highly likely acting like a Honda without an external amplifier, wires connected to the bigger harness). This will solve the lower volume on the rear doors (happening probably because the existing amplifier is set like this).
What do you think?

Hey guys, got an awesome update. So after many conversations with the seller and back and forth, they sent me a different cable then what originally came with the head unit. After a couple of test runs, I am glad to say that sound is officially ON! Only thing I need to get now is a version of Netflix that will run and install on the head unit.

  • Phone works (didn't bother installing the mic as the head unit mic is surprisingly good)
  • GPS works great.
  • All videos work great and the sound is very good. Much better than the stock HU.
  • The instrument panel has remained the same, with provide information such as seat belt unbuckled

  • Only things I can complain about is that sometimes the audio can be a bit weird at times. Like if I play music from my phone via Bluetooth, the sound won't kick in right away. But if I go into the app on the HU, there's no issues
  • No Netflix APK supported (if anyone can find an APK for it, I'll try it out. Ive multiple versions off of apkmirror and other sites.)
  • Lastly, there's a bit of the HU near the bottom where light is shining through. Not enough to bother me but it's there.

Now there's plenty of nice features and one is that you can set the timer on the HU to turn off, I've set mine to 10 seconds so that when I've shut the car down but I still want to watch something. Cycling with the push start button won't turn the HU off so my videos don't get interrupted. Having a quick operating HU is sooooo nice now.

I got an update that I posted here: New Joying Head Unit No Sound

No need to bypass the amp and audio works great!

oh wow.. that's great news. What exactly did you do? What the service provided to you?
Again, just to be sure that I've correctly understood the situation here:
  • you have a stock external amplifier and 10 speakers (1 on dashboard, 2 on each door, and 1 on boot);
  • the audio harness is the one that connects to the socket marked with the blue box (see the picture posted on the first post of the thread);
  • you bought a Joying Head Unit which you mounted but you didn't have sound because of the incompatibility between the original audio harness and the Joying HU audio harness;
  • someone from Honda service provided you a cable/connector which solved the issue;
If all I wrote above is correct, please send me some pictures of the piece you received from the service to resolve the sound problem.
I really need to change the HU too but I just don't want to bypass the original external amplifier.
