Quite a bit of aftermarket interior pieces for the 2018 on that site. Nice find but hows it going to work with my setup when the HVAC controls and display are all one piece? The image in the link you provided looks like it's separate from the HVAC controls.

Mine looks like this:

Which models come with the display that looks like this:

So I could buy the aftermarket nav and a set of HVAC controls from the non JBL system and then using the 2018 wiring schematics from both setups, wire it so that it works. I wouldn't put it past me, I've done crazier things with factory wiring. :grin:

Anyone have the wiring diagrams for the radio and HVAC controls for the JBL and non JBL systems?

Personally, I would advise waiting. Seeing that these are new systems, they've probably been rushed out to be first to market. Also, I've never heard of any of these companies...so good luck if something goes wrong or breaks.

It would be prudent to at least wait until the Avalon comes out later this year. A member on here called entune support who said they were working on CarPlay for 2018 Camry's, so there's a chance the update will be released when the Avalon comes out (which is supposed to be the first toyota with CarPlay).

Whether that includes android auto or not, i have no idea. Even then, by that point there will be even more aftermarket systems out--maybe one from a reputable brand.

Just my 2 cents, it's your car so do what you want

Thanks you! I forgot to search for these, thanks for finding them for me. I might jump.

I'll take a dedicated android HU over android auto and carplay any time.

Pretty sad when a small company, a Chinese company at that can make an infotainment system that users want but a multinational billion dollar company can’t. Was planing on picking up a tundra next year but won’t bother at this point until Entune is fixed or gone

I had one of these units on my corolla.. only lasted about 3-5 months before it started having all sorts of issues like freezing, not turning on, and eventually it just never turned on again.

1/5 for reliability.
5/5 for install, everything was plug and play with harnesses for everything.
4/5 for ease of use. Some things like bluetooth are wonky and won't work well but everything else was good.
4/5 for being android.

Maybe you will have better luck with reliability.

3-4 weeks was their estimate, to this day, they didn't ship it yet. I sure hope to get it sooner.
I asked them to inspect the package for completion and thoroughly test the unit before shipping; may be that is why its taking them longer to ship.

I'm planning on taking a lot of pictures and will post here along with a full review of the product and compatibility / installation issues if any..

Depends how video is supplied to the HU. If there is only one cable coming in the HU that carries signal from all cameras at once, then I don't see a problem. However, if there are multiple video cables coming in the HU and it merges the signals then I don't think so. There might be an external device that does this though, you would have to look around.

In short, as long as you have video signal from all cameras on one cable then yes.
