Alright I have a question for you guys. My android auto is way quieter than my radio app. Anyone know which setting it is to change that? Been changing these settings around and can't find a difference.

P.S. I got my steering wheel call buttons working by plugging the D wire into D1 instead of D2 but now my left/right steering wheel buttons don't work is that a setting?

Here is a link to the most detailed settings video I could find for the unit. The screen you are on starts at 10:05

It might help with your steering wheel question as well. I think the swap keys might do it.

I dont understand what the USB adapter connects to. I have it connected to my aftermarket stereo, but the under dash usb ports seem to be hidden away in the dark depths. Did you have to remove a bunch of stuff to get to them?

The USB adapter goes from the factory USB connector to the aftermarket radio USB connector, thus this makes a direct connection from the head unit (radio) to the USB plug on the car's center console.

I recently got the same radio as you installed into my 2019 honda hrv . My question to you is that my car isn’t equipped with the passenger blind spot camera . So every time I use the right side turn signal radio shuts off . Is there a setting I can use to turn off the side camera display feature?

Yes, you go into the settings and turn it off. It's been mentioned two or three times in this thread, scroll around and try and find it.

Try this from my notes:

turn reverse (rear) and/or lanewatch (right) camera off:
Settings > Car > Factory Settings > 126 (password) > Other > Prohibit reverse > Disable

route the signal for the Lane Assist camera in a US HRV EX, I had to do the following:
Settings > Car > Factory Settings > 126 (password) > Other > Customer Version > Version 2

 

[Dr. Toboggan]

So now I can access the cameras but only by using the FCAM app and the AVIN app on the head unit. Still not luck with reverse or with the signal to activate them. Dasaita has ghosted me with my inquiry. Anyone who helps me solve this will get 2nd spot on my Christmas card list.

Did you buy it directly from them or from a third party seller? It could be the settings or (most likely) the wrong wire harness and/or CAN-BUS.

I still don't have the right steering wheel buttons and bottom left call/back buttons working so if anyone has those working please let me know.

Mine work but we don't have the same wire harness, so I don't think that we can compare our cars.

I was having (am still having sometimes) a similar problem with my calls on CarPlay and found out that the volume problem isn't in the head unit but rather in the phone. In my case, it seems that certain phones are louder than other phones.

Your timing is right on. I've been in contact with the seller and they did indeed send me the wrong CANBUS. I just received the correct one last night and everything works perfect now.

It was a lot of wasted time but I am happy that its now working. I am now an expert on installing this head unit and can help anyone with how to re-pin a harness as well lol.

An update on the TV tuner install: I haven’t done anything yet (too hot)

I hear that! We're in a "heat dome" here in B.C

I finally got my Dasaita all installed and configured. Works like a champ

A 30 minute wait in the parking lot? No problem! I can watch a movie.

Three things happened yesterday; I updated to iOS 15.6.1 on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, I got a new gigabit modem from my ISP installed (1) and the ZLINK (2) stopped connecting to CarPlay wirelessly in my car. The odd part was the connectivity problem did not start right away, I was actually 30 minutes (22 miles) away from my house when the CarPlay started disconnecting and then completely shut off and would not reconnect wirelessly but would connect with a wire. I waited until I got home to troubleshoot the problem and soon found out that it's most likely not the iOS 15.6.1 update because when I "Forget Network" on the new modem then the connectivity problem stopped. I further tested this by connecting my iPhone to an older router and the problem was resolved. However, the old router is slow, so I want to be able to connect to my new modem for the fast speed. This leaves the option to update the ZLINK software but I'm always afraid to do anything that can't be reverted back (3). The status now is that I sent a message to Dasaita asking if I should update the ZLINK software and I'm using my phone at home with the old slow router for now. It's still a mystery to me why the car didn't disconnect and have this problem until 30 minutes (22 miles) after I left my house because it seems to me the problem is that the gigabit modem is what is stopping the ZLINK from connecting to the phone wirelessly for CarPlay.

(1) my ISP put in fiber optic cables and my modem wasn't compatible, so I had to upgrade
(2) ZLINK is the software that connects the iPhone to the head unit via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to allow CarPlay to be wireless
(3) the only way to revert back to the older version of the ZLINK software would be to do a hard reset of the whole head unit

I did a “hard reset” to my phone and it fixed the problem.

Today I tried to get an OBD2 reader to work with the Dasaita. I tried the Torque app which wouldn’t connect to the ELM reader and the DashCommand app which did nothing but crash. The reader along with the DashCommand app did work on my iPhone though. However, it’s over Wi-Fi and I would have to sacrifice wireless CarPlay, so no.

You should either use the one that came with it or get another, a correct one. The reason that the "MIC" is louder is because the external microphone isn't working, so it defaults to the internal microphone (which is junk). This was my same experience when I bought the wrong microphone. I learned, after some research, about the TS, TTS and TRS microphones but never could find that listed in the sale description; instead I only found mono or stereo. The one that I bought to replace the Dasaita microphone, because I didn't like the design, looks exactly like the one in your picture. That is the one that worked for me (link below).

Hey, thank guys for the helpful I communication,

I've just got a Dasaita PX6 Android 11 for a Honda Accord and have the same issue, the external mic that came with the Dasaita head unit is not working, everyone says that cannot hear me well and cuts the transfer. so what is the exact Mic you bought? Shall I buy Mono or Stereao?

 

[Dr. Toboggan]

The post that you quoted has answered your questions, it (the quoted post) has a link to the stereo microphone that I purchased.

I watch movies on the Dasaita at least once or twice a week and have had no problems for two years but for some reason it would not read the USB that I inserted today. I had to plug it into my computer and it had two folders (one named Android) that I had to delete. After that it is working normally again. The “USB-A” wasn’t even showing until I deleted those folders.

does your system still turn off sometimes where you need to turn the car off? i used to have a Seicane unit in my 2008 accord that did that and after i updated the firmware it started happening less. when i replaced the dongle they sent me with a wireless one I got on amazon then it stopped altogether.

i just want to be sure i am getting the right option here. from what i read the choices seem to be:

• dasaita or maxca head unit that retains camera functionality (full screen/best looking, less familiar brand/riskier)
• swapping with a 2019 head unit (almost exact same design, small screen/waste of space, loses lane watch camera (i think?) )
• 2013-2015 CRV head unit with firmware update (same wiring harness/plug and play, OEM, older design)
• pioneer or kenwood head unit (more familiar brand, small screen/waste of space, 2nd least favorite option)
• keeping the existing head unit installed (no)

im leaning towards the dasaita head unit since i have ordered from Seicane before and the risk was comparable, but overall i was happy with my purchase. I just want to make sure that everything should work as expected. from what I read the cameras will work if you apply the correct settings, but I was curious if any other problems have been noted.

 

[Dr. Toboggan]

Just to be clear, the system never "turned off", what I complained about was that if CarPlay would not connect (wirelessly) then I had to turn the car off and restart it again so that the head unit would reboot and try to connect (with zlink again). I tried everything, including as posted before to assign the power/mute button to reboot the head unit. Unfortunately that didn't work either, the problem remains (problem is that sometimes zlink doesn't connect the CarPlay from the phone to the head unit and I have to restart the car to try again). It only does this problem about every 8 of 10 start ups, so I just live with it, because I'm too afraid to start "working" on it.

I have no preference to any particular brand name, all that I care about is that CarPlay works. All of the other features on those head units are nice but I don't really need them. CarPlay has always been my goal ever since my first test drive at the dealership when I knew before buying this car (the LX) that it didn't have CarPlay and that I would have to install it myself. So, make your best choice for you and you've already pointed out the obvious from your list there. What you've said is also my opinion.

I've read the CRV thread here and the EX upgrade to the LX thread too, both of those seemed to much of a hassle for me. I wanted plug and play with as little work as possible. Pioneer is a head unit that I've installed in two of my other cars before in the past and that would be my choice if it were not for the tiny screen. Although, the software on those is limited, so if you want some features then the Dasaita would be your choice solely for its Android system.

All that I can add, from my own experience, is that Dasaita will continue to work with you until everything is functioning properly. What is vital for that is that you have three things; the correct harness, the correct CAN-BUS and the correct CAN-BUS setting. Once you have those three I'm confident that everything will work, that was my case.

I just received my unit in the mail and I’m going to begin the install today, however I think the unit looks somewhat strange. The frame around the screen is somewhat thick and looks like it would make the screen recessed into the dash. Other photos I have seen have a more stock look, so I’m not sure if I need to get another piece, or if the OEM dash will make this fit flush. It also has the word Dasaita on it which I did not see in other photos.
