I ordered one of these Xtrons units off of amazon yesterday. It's supposed to fit the stock opening in the 4th gens without a faceplate kit and is supposed to be plug and play retaining steering wheel controls. I have an 08 SR5 non jbl. The stock fit and unlimited customizing available were the big selling points. DVR dashcam, OBDII in the dash, offline GPS, and google play store will all be cool. It seems like XTRONS gives decent product support as opposed to some of the other Chinese units and there is a sprinkling of youtube review that looks decent. I'll let you guys know how it works out- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F84ZMCG

Update- Installed the unit. So this issue was actually my fault but I will leave this info here for you folks.Major issue is the DVD player seems DOA. I have a replacement on the way from amazon and put an email in with xtrons. Takes the disk but it does not spin. Ejects fine. . So, I'm an idiot. There are 2 screws on the top of the unit that are used to secure the optical drive. I failed to remove these even though there is a giant yellow sticker that tells you too. Probably should have been more sober, whoops.

Attached are photos of the install. No splicing needed. It is plug and play and fits perfectly. Looks stock esp with the toyota logo on startup
Wifi, bluetooth, work good. You can change button color to match stock, or any other color. Unit boots fast (20-30 seconds)and has a 1 hour sleep mode to make reboot instant on subsequent starts. Steering controls work. You can map them with short press and long press functions. Still need to test stock AUX. Google maps looks good, will test tomorrow. Built in mic seems good. I called someone and they said the clarity was fine. Google assistant works fine. You can use all the normal apps youtube, pandora, play store. The screen resolution is 800x480 which is lower than advertised (correct resolution is listed on xtrons website, but not on amazon.), but still looks good. Resolution is equal to the high end pioneers. Sound seems the same or better than stock. Still messing around with stuff, but it looks promising.


Overall initial impressions:

Pros-
Looks stock without those cheesy side panels and is unbranded on the front
100% Plug and Play
Layout and functionality is 100% customizable
Touch screen looks awesome and is very responsive
Unit is fast
Looks and feels quality
Xtrons customer support was fast and effective

Cons-

Untested longevity
Sound quality probably isn't on par with the $500+ units
Not exactly cheap

Overall I am really happy with it so far!

Looks like a pretty cool unit! I'd be curious of what you think of the UI and if the audio portion of it is up to par with a comparable name brand unit. Definitely looking forward to your review!

I havent had a chance to mess with any other similar units to be honest, but I assume the higher non android units will have nicer/ sleeker UI out of the box. I customized the home screen for my needs quickly without downloading too much stuff. Pressing the mode button on the steering wheel gets be back to my home screen so I can concentrate on driving. The functionality is incredible to be honest, and fully customizable.

Thanks for the help guys, very helpful. Is there a screen size that is basically a standard given the double DIN size? I see lots of screen sizes on Amazon but you fellas have 6" screen size it appears?

Mines about 7" viewing area. The unit is a hair over 200mm wide. Its fits the stock opening perfectly because its designed specifically for toyota.

A standard double din unit requires a faceplate kit to fill the gaps in the stock opening.

Thanks for the reply. So, I"ll look for a radio made for Toytas. Sounds like Bestfit website has a faceplate that fits the JBL system well. Right?

the joe rogan pic was hysterical. ;)

I wonder if there is a way to make it carplay instead of android

The xtrons px5 does support CarPlay if you buy one of the android CarPlay dongles on Amazon. That’s what I have in mine, works great.

So are you saying from that menu system, you're able to play YouTube videos while you're driving? I thought Android Auto doesn't allow that while driving unless you hack it?

I recently installed this 2 weeks and I love it! I don't know if it came with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to buy a plug-in to where it can work and that's what I did.

Yes, that is correct. It's not hacked, it's just an android unit.

If you guys want to make it even better inst was all this- [ROM][PX5][HD] Malaysk ROMs for PX5 (2-4 Gb)… | Android Auto

what application would it make sense to be watching a video while driving? one youre only interested in the audio or listening to a movie?

I like to watch all sorts of stuff while I'm driving. Looking at the highway gets boring.







It's for the passengers, or when you are parked....

Is this really compatible with the XTRONS head unit we have? There's a link for Android 8.0, the one you linked is for 6.0.1
