Best car stereo for Galaxy S4? (ARLiberator, MirrorLink, etc)

Is anybody here using any advanced car stereos with their Android phone? (i.e. Galaxy S4)
My stereo supports iPhone and lets me browse artists, etc, but it only supports USB mass storage for Android and it's extremely limited.
However, I've seen pretty neat options using AppRadio 2 (and ARLiberator for screen mirroring) and MirrorLink...
What do you guys recommend?

I use my S4 as the head unit it works well for me since it's eye level while my car stereo is far below eye level.
If I had access to a double din opening closer to eye level then I'd go with a Car-PC instead. And use the S4 only as a modem.
Otherwise the AppRadio3 from Pioneer with appliberator would be my 3rd choice.

I use the sound fly BT transmitter for my car, it supports listing song names on my radio.
Might not be what you're going for, as a transmitter I highly recommend it though

I have a Navigation Pioneer unit in my car and stream music through Bluetooth and it works great.

Pioneer AVIC D3 with BT (works great) in her car
Pioneer AVH-X8500BHS (also works great) in my car
standard Porsche BT in cayman s (has some issues staying connected)

I use a Kenwood X996. They just had a recent FW upgrade which seems to have improved BT, but now it doesn't play at the highest quality sometimes and has been skipping lately.
I'm waiting for the technology to advance a little further to guarantee a solid high quality connection wirelessly, as this is more than doable with current phone hardware. I know some units support wifi streaming, but you can't take calls via wifi.
Other than a few minor issues here and there I love the headunit. It has multiple very powerful pre-amps, HD radio built in, usb/ipod in, 3.5mm aux, connection for external microphone for BT calls, pandora, satellite radio ready, and it does display song names with the stock music app and pandora, but not through spotify(sigh). It's just a single din head unit though, would be great for a soundsystem.
It also has a decent amp if you are going to use stock speakers in your car, gives you a little extra bump, and a 12? band equalizer.
I bought it for $300 about a year ago.

My car bluetooth doesn't support a2dp so I got this..

Very good.. Even has mic so if ur car doesn't have bluetooth at all, this will be very useful

Looking for a double din that works with s4 screen mirroring....anybody have an answer?
Sent from my Xbox One

This is what you need:
Jvc NSX1 (on sale from crutchfield.com)
Full mirroring drivelink app by auron89
There are many headunits that may work but I chose this one specifically because it is what the developer of the app uses. The headunit display is ok but there is great independent switching or tandem use of various audio and video feeds. With the right apps you will beat anything else out there. One note: drivelink is a little laggy so no streaming video. If you want that then use appradio with mhl adapter for hdmi output but then you lose touchscreen headunit capability.
Please thank me for the reference because this will be the best thing you will ever do with an s4 minus the "home videos" !!!!!!!

False, using ARLiberator you get full control of your phone using touchscreen

I stand corrected (at least with appradio2) but I have not seen a fully working mod for appradio3

Hi just read your post, so do you actually have the gs4 and the jvc nsx1 working together with drivelink? If you do maybe you could give me some tips cause eveytime i plug mine in it says "This content can not be displayed while driving. Please disconnect then re-connect you smartphone cable". Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

The first thing you want to do is install the modified drivelink app by auron89 and uninstall any other drivelink previously installed. The error message seems to be related to the cable shifter wire to make sure the screen doesnt display while not in park. Just ground that wire permanently to the frame. Now you must connect the phone by following these steps in order
1) turn on phone and pass through lock screen if being used.
2) load modified drivelink app
3)plug in phone to usb coming from headunit external box
4) wait for screen to mirror phone
5) hit physical home button on phone. (Headunit will mirror home screen if you are using launcher like nova launcher OR you must select app on phone first then it will mirror)

I have AppRadio 2 with ARLiberator. It can be fussy with some ROMs and doesn't like TW launcher, but it is ABSOLUTELY worth the hassle. I have Google Music All Access, Pandora, YouTube, etc. all at my fingertips. I drive about 25k miles a year with my current job, and this makes it more tolerable. Also, I've used Garmins, TomToms, and an older Pioneer navi, but having Google Maps projected onto the screen, through the car speakers, and using a external antenna is the ultimate. I can't recommend it enough. :good:

SWC issues with new Joying 2gb single din

Bought this unit from Amazon
JOYING New Android 6.0 Aftermarket Head Unit 2GB RAM In Dash Stereo for Car Single Din Touch Screen Car Radio Media Player with GPS Navigation Bluetooth HD 1080P Resolution & Wifi, 7 Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071R5PK3Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pt4JzbNJER09W
It has the detachable screen. I also purchased the wireless SWC accessory. Wiring was simple and programming was easy.
The problem I'm having now is tht my seek buttons trigger more than 1 app at a time.
For example, if im llaying spotify and hit NEXT, spotify goes to the next song and pauses, and then the radio plays something from stitcher. So annoying...
This is after closing the apps, clearing processes, and etc. I have to go in to the menu and force close the other app for the app i have open to function properly.
Never had this issue with other android radios, what do i do?
Is it a sound priorty issue? Nothing in the menu or manual

Dasaita Max 10

I hope I'm posting this in correct section. Has anyone got information on the newest Dasaita Max10-cp? I'm specifically curious about 1280x720 and Android 10
On AliExpress is says it's both 1024x600 and 1280x720 on same advertising page so it's very confusing.
Dasaita communication via messenger is very short answers and they don't seem to answer my questions maybe because there is a major language barrier.
It's supposed to have Android 10.0 among other things. If someone can provide some more info that would be great.

Apparently it's 1024*600 but 1280*720 is coming middle 9r the end of July. This is what I was told by Amazon Dasaita rep.

Hi,
I also bought this PX6 Max10 1280x720.
I found some issues after a few days of use:
1. When no music is playing I can ear a backgroud noise. The seller (Aliexpress MTKNAVI Store) is sending me a new RCA cable, still waiting for it...
2. I have a Toyota Rav4 2017 and with this Max10 all the lock doors settings doen't work such as:
- Lock all doors over 20kms/h
- Unlock when shifting P
- Driver lock button doesn't lock all doors
After speaking with Dasaita over FB Messenger they told that there is a new Canbus version and the seller MTKNAVI is sending me the new one.
So far, all the issues has been addressed by Dasaita and the Seller.
Try to reach Dasaita over Facebook Messenger.

He means the background noise.
They released a rca plugs to avoid that noise...normally coming from the stock amplifier....
Customer must specify the version of the car in order to check if the rca is required.

Get mine in a few days. Will post thoughts here.

Just got mine. RAV4 2014 AWD cruiser with amplifier. I have the same problem with the hissing and background noise does anyone have a picture of the RCA cables that are supposed to fix the issue - it's not these?

I have no idea what these rca cables are that people are talking about, but I doubt they remove hiss. I suspect these people are talking about ground loop noise which CAN be cancelled out with a special rca cable set.... but the hiss is coming directly from the unit itself.
I just ordered a dasaita max 10 and it's still in the mail but my old dasaita px5 is plagued with the same hiss issue which I was never able to get rid of. My guess is that my new max 10 will be the same. Fortunately I drive a jeep with a soft top and big mud tires.... which all pretty much drowns out the hiss
Are you connecting to your amp with the speaker level outs or the rca outs?

I don't think I'm connecting to the amp at all (JBL Greenedge)! I didn't end up using any of the cables numbered 3 to 11 in the attached pic and 14 - 17 are for the reverse camera and factory aux connector. There is no input for it in the bundle of cable harnesses that I can find...am I missing something here?
Thanks for the help, I've asked the seller on Ali about the harnesses - I'll share his replies here.

I Installed mine yesterday and have some issues I bought this one.

Hopefully I am just missing something on my setup.
I have a 2018 Toyota Highlander LTD w JBL sound system
I bought the adapter that basically converts the speaker outputs to RCA for the factory amp. I also am using a 4chan Kicker amp so needed to use 4 male to 2 female y splitters to use both. No hiss
My issues are as follows hopefully there is a quick fix.
1. Bluetooth paired with Max10 but just basic info won't send contact info to HU.
2. Offline Nav does not see data without My Samsung Note 9 connected to the MaX10. Using supplied GPS antenna with strong signal.
3. NO Am radio at all ant is plugged in.
Any help would be appreciated. CHEERS

1. Once paired to your Note 9 go to bluetooth settings on your phone and choose the connection to the headunit. You can see a gear . Push it and check the profiles for the connection. Ensure "contact access" is enabled.
In case it doesn't work. Remove the paired connection from both headunit and phone and pair again. I remember the same issue and corrected after deleting and pairing again.
2. Gps offline. Which offline gps did you installed? If you mean igo gps...perhaps maps were not included...note that installed igo is just a pirated copy if the software...so no support
Isuggest you to get a good offline navigator (like "tomtom or "sygic"....or the free "here maps")
3. Check on factory settings that you have setuo the radio correctly to your region (europe, America1, america2, asia...) password for factory settings = 126

I have IGO nav on my Dasaita px5 and it is most definitely an off line system which does not require a connection. As @ikerg suggested maybe you didn't download the updated maps for your area? If you're talking about google or waze or some nav system like that... they are not really off line systems.
As noted on my above post, I haven't got my max 10 yet (still in the mail. It might come within the next 5 years or so given the speed and accuracy of China Post!) but I did notice with my px5 the request for permission to download bluetooth information (contacts, recents... etc) always came in like 10 or 15 minutes after initial pairing. Never did figure out why the delay, but give it a little while.
Interesting about the lack of hiss. I'm using the rca's directly off the back of my px5 (which I always assumed to be cleaner than the speaker outputs) to my amps and I DO get hiss. Even when volume is ZERO you can faintly hear it. Maybe I will try the speaker outputs

Sorry to be clear I am using the 2v rca outputs as well the y splitters are used for the adapter to the JBL factory amp and to my Kicker amp connected to the outputs from the HU . I guess Dasaita made this adaptor to send a better signal to the factory Amp to get rid of that noise Is my guesstimate Others have said it fixed their issues on the JBL system
And your right probably need to connect through hotspot again and go to maps and download the offline data just like my phone not used to a andriod HU as a stereo replacement.
Anyone know how to get the Max10 to auto pair with my hotspot I leave it on the phone side but have to keep hitting the wifi connection every time .The system setting is set to auto connect i believe.
OK FIXED the Max 10 Bluetooth issue after pairing go to phone icon on Dasaita hit the Sync button two arrows doing the spin third button down on the right menu . Then the request for sharing contact info showed up on the phone request and voila!

Ah ok, so it arrived with your order? I guess I'll need to try and get them to ship the adapter out to me...
Does anyone have a pic of the adapter? I want to see if I could make it myself instead of waiting another month for it to arrive from China

Mine arrived in 5 days with DHL should not take that long. Honestly better to use the head unit power than the JBL but I was feeling lazy LOL

Junsun V1 pro 8/128 - no app sound

Hello everyone,
recently i installed a Junsun Head Unit in my Audi TT MK2 (2012) with the bose system.
I had a xtrons PX5 before that worked like a dream until the touchscreen died.
The JunsunHead Unit works fine, but there is a strange behaviour i can't figure out.
Everything is connected through the quadlock and a canbus adapter from the seller, also there is a aux harness connected. pretty much standard stuff.
My problem:
The integrated radio app has sound. Music via Bluetooth works also just fine.
Every third party app like youtube, spotify, waze, maps, ... has absolutely no sound. nothing.
Googling my problem wasn't really helpful. Connecting the AMP CTRL Wire to ACC oder every other 12V wire to activate the bose amp in the trunk doesn't do anything, still no sound. And yes, the amp is working just fine, when i connect the amp ctrl wire to the powered antenna while using the radio app you can hear the difference in the sound qualitiy because of the amp working, but like i said you also have sound without the connected amp so there should be sound in any other app also, right? I don't want to listen to radio stations all day - i want spotify
In the hidden menues every setting looks just fine, everything works except the sound in app.
So my guess is the firmware, i already contacted the seller but he didn't responded yet.
Is there a newer firmware available? Or do any of you guys have any idea how to fix my problem?
One more thing: how to do a factory reset on this unit? Is there a code or a special way to press the touchbuttons...? Is it the "erase all content" in the factory settings?
Thank you so much in advance!

no idea?

How is audio output connected to your car/amp? SPDIF coaxial?

I've seen this thread. Didn't really help.
Everything is connected through the OEM quadlock (with bose) + the canbus encoder and AUX left/right in the wiring harness.
Spoke to the seller several times now and he has no idea either. He's sending me a new firmware the next few days to test... otherwise i'll send the head unit back. Must be some software issues cause some apps have sound, others don't... doesn't make any sense to me

The radio app is only an interface to control the radio hardware. Bluetooth may be the same. So it makes sense.
