So I am quite disappointed with the factory head unit, even after replacing the dash and door speakers with Tacotunes upgrades. And I want carplay. The T9 seems to have way too many issues and the Dasaita appears to be solid with frequent updates pushed out to fix issues. Any forum users running this or know someone who is? Cheers.

I went with the Alpine Halo9 and am happy with it. Was having issue with my 2017 head unit. I’m also able to control my accessories (LED, Winch, Compressor, etc) through it.

I don’t like the screen size of Dasaita. I got the t9 and it’s awesome. It’s more of a tinker stereo. But it does everything I want it to do, CarPlay, Netflix and YouTube

Woah. How do you do that? I was looking at one of the larger Kenwood Excelon headunits because they have the volume knob but this is cooler

I just bought it and am in the process of swapping over. My backup camera isn't working, so I have a request in for tech support. The trim is flat and a little bit cheap looking but the screen looks nice. I will let you know how it goes. I have installed.probably 15-20 stereos in my life and if everything would have worked this would have been one of the easier ones to do even though the directions are vague. I will let you know how it goes. Screen looks good and the audio sounds good too.

The functionality of the Halo is amazing, but I dislike the blocking of the front vents as well as seemingly having an iPad sticking out of my dash.

The long screen is kinda weird, looks awkward. I was in the T9 FB group for a while, and along with other online reviews, there just seem to be so many glitches and errors with the unit. If they would release a T10 i'd look in to that probably.

Thanks, definitely like any further feedback you have. From what I read on Amazon you have to contact them and specifically ask for the backup camera cable.

So all I needed to do was connect the RCA video cable from the main harness to a secondary harness toake the backup camera work. Actually pretty simple if they would have described the install adequately.

First impression is favorable but most of the features are pretty slick. Many of them I won't use since my primary intent is to use Apple Carplay and android auto. the integration of those work very well. I also like that the heater info, battery voltage And door status is pretty slick.

One thing I found annoying was if you want to keep your factory GPS antenna you will need to rig up a couple of adapters.If you have any specific questions let me know and I could possibly do a video or whatever.

Sending a PM. Really appreciate it brother.

I just installed the dasaita on my 2016 4runner. easy install and Works great overall. only issue I had was sometime's it didn't connect to apple carplay right away and had to reset it.

did you go with the flat black or the silver trim. My silver trim came a little scratched on the top near the ac vents.

How’s the microphone for talking on the phone. That’s what I’m worried about

i have a 2018 SR5, and would like to upgrade the factory unit as well. Im definately going to ;ook into all of these options. That being said, can some of you post pics of what your headunits look like installed as well. Thanks in advance. cant wait to see how they look.

As soon as it stops snowing I will post some photos.
