Review on 📱 Dasaita 9" Android 10 Head Unit for Subaru Forester WRX 2016-2019: Bluetooth Radio Stereo, GPS Navigation, Android Auto, 1280x720 HD Multimedia Video Player, Wireless Carplay, 4G/64G, PX6 DSP by John Hall

1st review (will update again after a few months) Why I chose this unit: If you own a 2015+ WRX/STi and want better sound, you probably have John Viewed Nguyen's YouTube video with all Android head units. The latest devices in the WRX/STi that he has reviewed are the iDoing, but before settling on the Dasaita I also compared Joying and Seicane, other big names in these types of devices. I chose Dasaita over other brands as I wanted what I felt was the newest and fastest processor and the most up to date Android which is 9 atm for all these devices but if you don't want to spend 600, just spend 300 on iDoing. has android 9 and PX5 chip if there is no more updated one. I particularly enjoy working with cars but I eventually left it because I found many YouTube videos showing how to take out an old block with 2 screws on the sides and 2 on top, mostly using only 1 plate for each screw removed. The wiring is also fairly easy to connect as you will be given 2 sets depending on the year of your WRX/STi with each wire labeled in English and Chinese but you just know where to connect it. It took me about 2 hours to figure out everything from removing the old device to transferring everything to the new one and plugging everything in, but if I were to do it all over again on the new one, it would probably take 45 minutes and it took at least a few more hours to get settings and everything I wanted right on it. Technical Rating: Compared to the latest Android phones (like my Pixel 3 XL), it's not as fast as expected, but fast enough. If you enable Auto Sleep it will load much faster, but without it it might take 5-10 seconds to start. I have a 2016 WRX Premium and the default sound wasn't even as good as my phone's speakers. I switched to factory OEM Kicker speakers and an Alpine Powerpack amp and in my opinion it went from OEM 2/10 to Kickers/Amp 6/10 which was tolerable but now the sound with this unit is definitely 12/10 . Even at volume level 1, it has great power in music. For some reason not all android apps work with it due to the layout of the screen or the apps themselves. but in any case they are not fully optimized for this platform. so just for info. I only use Radio app, A2DP for Bluetooth audio, Musicolet which I think is the best music app for music you want to play from HDD or USB, Android Auto and offline Google Maps. I only update the wifi when I park in my driveway as I can't get the hotspot to work. In general, it is of very high quality in electronic form. The screen is as sharp as any phone's screen (when I tried YouTube) and it's just superb. The backup cam was fine when I plugged it in, and since the screen is larger than standard, it's blurrier, but still works well. The packaging it came in was as beautiful as some famous brands, like Sony or other companies. My brother bought an Alpine ILX-F259 for his Tundra before I bought this one and I would say the quality is almost comparable in terms of look and feel. Cons: There is a gap at the top and side of the vents. , and a frame around the screen. They told me to cut off the inner clamps to mount them, which I tried to no avail. I was able to return 100 to make up for this and they will send a replacement bezel as you can unscrew the screen to fit another bezel so we'll see later if that fixes the gaps. TLDR: $600 for it? It's up to you, but knowing what I know now, I'd go with the highest spec iDoing at half the price. I'm sticking with it as I don't want to mess with the return and then buy another to troubleshoot more issues. Will update after a few months of use, hope it helps. and they will send a replacement bezel as you can unscrew the screen to fit another bezel so we'll see if that fixes the gaps later.
