So it looks like the CTHome T9 head unit is out, waiting for reviews.

Since I'm not on Facebook, can someone ask there (or tell me if they know) how the CarPlay notification volume can be adjusted separately than system volume? I can't seem to find a way. Or is this something everyone deals with?

Any news on the new gen? I'm assuming it will be called T10.

On your iphone ... Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics. Verify that "Change with Buttons" is on. Then, when using Maps in your car, use the volume buttons on your phone to adjust the sound volume.

Or just change the volume on the head unit while Siri is talking, you're on the phone, or music is playing.

Three different volumes:
- Siri
- Phone Calls
- Music

Each can be adjusted independently but only while actively using that method. If nothing is active then it's the Music volume that is adjusted.

What is the consensus between the T9 and Dasaita these days? Best to wait on the T10?

New to me 2018 TRD ORP in my driveway and I've never been so underwhelmed by a factory headunit. Coming from an Alpine Carplay unit in my 4th gen it feels like a huge downgrade.

The bezel kits for a standard double din Carplay rig are hideous. These look like the only real options.

Thank you both for the quick info on the volume adjustment.

I've tried numerous times, while Siri is talking, to adjust volume from the phone. Nothing happens unfortunately (and yes in the iPhone that option is selected).

I apologize if this has been discussed but I didn’t see it, does the provided wiring harness work for the limited JBL system and retain the subwoofer?

I asked this question of CTH’s customer service and was referred to the Facebook group but I don’t use Facebook.

Is there any difference between the CTH and Rhino model?

also would like to know which one is better.

It actually depends on the model. The 14+ models seem to have no issues with the subwoofer working, but the 10-13 does. I have a '10 Trail with the jbl system and i also needed to add a RCA cable between 2 of the CTH harness connectors to get the rear audio working, but still no sub. I feel like there's a simple solution but no one has found it yet.

For the few Android Auto users out there... For anyone like me who has been using a third party dongle for Android Auto on their T9, I'm happy to report that you don't need the dongle. Kinda feel dumb that I didn't know this app was out there, but install Headunit Reloaded. It works really well. I haven't been able to get Android Auto to consistently work wirelessly yet, but connecting using the usb works flawlessly. Plus, and this is a big plus, Headunit Reloaded (aka HUR) also lets you adjust the resolution a lot higher for AA. I set it to 1920x1080 and it updates the page layout which makes Android Auto look so much better. See my pic below:

[MENTION=485506]Chadical[/MENTION] - Thank you for taking the time to post your experiences with a 2012 model. I also have a 2012 SR5 With Non-JBL navigation and your posts give me hope I will feel like my vehicle is "up to par" with its electronics again! I just need to decide if I want to take a chance at the potential for an off color silver match or do I just want to get the black bezel trim.

I have had my T9 hu for about a year. I have been able to connect to the internet through data from US Cellular the whole time. I have also been able to connect through my phone Hotspot and my house wifi. Recently, while on a trip, my son was able to watch football games on ESPN+ without issue for about 30 minutes. We reached an area with spotty data service and lost connection. After that we were never able to connect again through data or phone Hotspot. We did a reset with no luck. We figured it may have something to do with roaming so we waited to get home, but we were still unable to connect. We then went ahead and did a factory reset and still have had no luck connecting to the internet through data ot Hotspot. We can connect through my homes wifi and business wifi, and any other wifi that is not from a hotspot, but nothing from data or hotspot. I have tried entering US Cellular APN with no luck either. Has anyone else had this problem and figured it out?
