Review on Dasaita Android Stereo 4Runner Carplay by Adam Stone

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good overall with a few minor imperfections

I installed this stereo in my wife's 4runner as she was jealous of Android Auto in my car and encountered heavy traffic on her daily commute. Overall we were very happy with it, although as they say it's not perfect. Pros: * Fairly easy installation * The seller asked for photos and info on the car and the seat belt I received was plugged in and working (the only issues I had was that I couldn't read very clear markings myself, I swapped the USB ports and cameras on the back of the device!) * Nice big screen, sound quality is good enough for my wife, even the built-in mic is good enough (I'd love an adapter for a standard mic with an amp) * Looks very close out of stock and the package is very good / not sticky.* Android Auto Wireless works right out of the box (although it's not listed as a feature on the product page). Cons: * zLink (Android Auto and CarPlay app) does not support multi-touch. This is a pretty big omission considering that without it you can't easily manipulate the map. I hope this feature will appear in a future update. I am considering other options as it is driving my wife and I crazy. (The system itself supports multi-touch, but not zLink/Android Auto)* Touch screen accuracy. Near the edges of the screen, the touch sensor only seems to give way / has dead space. This can be very annoying for some apps and features. * Highly reflective screen. The screen's reflectivity is a little too high for my liking, especially on a sunny day, although my wife says she's ok with that. I'll probably try to get an anti-glare screen coating to lessen this issue. There are a few small screws in awkward places. It's not impossible, but replacing the plastic of an old stereo with this one will take twice as long as you first think. Grab some plastic pry bars and be VERY careful not to break the plastic pieces. take your time.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not bad
