There's a before and after in my Toyota CHR after upgrading the original equipment to a Dasaita. Once installed and configured, you have a functional, powerful, and aesthetically flawless system. Although it should be noted that the launcher is very improvable and the Android 13 system is already quite outdated and should be updated.
In general, the system is not complicated to install but it is quite laborious and the instructions are not clear at all.
I'm going to list a series of pros and cons:
Pros:
All the cable assembly is done without cutting or soldering, which is appreciated for the installation.
With the appropriate CANbus, no original vehicle functionality is lost.
The sound improves considerably even with the JBL amplifier, although I needed a software update to eliminate background noise.
Two additional USB ports to the one the vehicle already has.
The SIM card connectivity allows you to always be connected to the internet.
The quality and sharpness of the screen is very good.
Wireless Android Auto.
Smooth handling and interface.
Cons:
I needed to find a lot of information and tutorials on the internet to be able to carry out the installation since there are no clear and concise instructions for my Toyota CHR 2017 vehicle.
The cables and connectors are generic and many are left over unused, taking up space and making assembly difficult.
The final finish once screwed in is not perfect.
The digital clock plastic is very dark and blurry.
The launcher and applications are very basic.
The Android system does not allow many options to be configured. For example, I have a persistent USB notification with music to open the explorer every time I turn on the vehicle and it is not allowed to delete notifications from Google services, which any phone or tablet does allow.
The Bluetooth phone application does not allow its configuration and cannot be opened with voice commands, so touching the screen is required to make a call or activate Android Auto.
Android 13 is already outdated.
Price is somewhat high.
Despite the problems I had during installation, after seeing the final result I can fully recommend purchasing the product as it significantly improves the functions and options of the vehicle's original equipment.
