Why do so few head units have cd trays anymore?

Comment from : @MrZattack101

Today I'm installing a South African branded head unit called BlackSpider Got it because of the volume control knob and wireless Android Auto brbrCost around $80, so I'm not expecting too much Anyway it will be nice to bring my 2001 model Toyota Hilux pickup into the year 2025

Been using mine for 15years 👌
Comment from : @Arturito2017

After almost a year with this head unit I’ve noticed it only needs a music signal If you stream from your phone just turn the volume to the lowest setting on your phone and let the head unit take over from there
Comment from : @guestguest

You had me at volume knob I hate having to overthink turning down the volume at the drive through or if I get pulled over (real scenario - couldn't think fast enough to turn it down because there is no knob on my current unit New city, with new traffic patterns, and I did an illegal U-turn right in front of a cop Very nervous and that stupid volume got to me as he walked up and started asking me to turn it down I was flustered and told him I'm working on it)brbrI am in the process of getting a new unit that does indeed have a volume knob But it is in the center on the bottom like Chevy vehicles which I also don't like Would like it to be upper or lower left Picky I know

45 sec boot time!? Got damn 😅
Comment from : @1130bros

Any serious basshead Needs a volume knob , for turning down the system quickly Especially when a cop or school bus rolls up lol 😎👌
Comment from : @HighVybeTribe

i bought coil overs from MAXSPEEDINGRODS and they are AWESOME! 300$ for my civic and they really handle well 2 months later and they are finally set at the height i wanted no complaints other than the strut boot covers were set in place after install they contacted me after i gave them my review and said it was nothing to worry about
Comment from : @iAmRaiderx

They’re out with a newer model that has USB-C, Android 13 & a 36 band EQ but it doesn’t specify if it kept 51 stereo Would love a revisit of that unit to see if it’s still a great performer with external amp!
Comment from : @SKOOBgotSNAX

The only reason why I wouldn’t want a knob or USBs on the front of the unit is because it muddies up the dash of my car when I already have a volume knob, I would rather get a unit that can hook up to the factory knob and use my wheel control I have a Chrysler 300, and would love to get rid of the god awful sounding uconnect system for something that doesn’t distort, and doesn’t auto cut frequencies at certain volume levels to protect their cheap speakers… seriously, stock base model speakers from ford sound better…
Comment from : @sirreal2290

The factory music player was limited to 12,000 songs for me brbrPoweramp and foobar2000 works, but its buggy and crashes often on both This was the reason i bought it Even the play store kept crashing Plus if youre like me and used to changing bass boost from 0 to 3 on a pioneer depending on the song, there isnt any quick way to do it here brbrTl;dr if you don't use android auto/car play/built in player/Bluetooth, i wouldn't buy this
Comment from : @tatsumaru12345

Sound is not the first thing to look for Response and display ? how can you not test apply car play
Comment from : @wizardng

Those volume knobs on "whoop de' whoop" brand radios crap out right around ten years brIt's all trash
Comment from : @-fuk57

What tone did you use for mids?
Comment from : @guestguest

hellobrwhat kind of bluetooth is this?br5 52?
Comment from : @padrepinball

I just installed a cheap android unit and have already ordered a usb volume knob to add to my set up
Comment from : @nicholasespinoza9610

Need a video of how to set the crossovers on this:)
Comment from : @gbresaleking

Bought the head unit I like the DSP Nobody needs 8 output channels though, I have like two or three wired up It's glitchy, and the bluetooth is slow, but nothing has broken
Comment from : @benedictgoodman3995

garbage
Comment from : @Guydude79

What's up with the HDMI? Any use for it, or access to it?
Comment from : @rhomis

Can you do an update video comparing this one to maxpeedingrods newest double din running Android 13?

Great info in this review!

Can you change the started logo to the car brand?
Comment from : @arturogarza8549

The most Chinese name EVER LOL
Comment from : @foxxrider250r

Purchased this unit and I connected my “amp c” wire to my factory amp and external amp as I had it previously on my old radio and it’s not turning my amp on It’s the pink cable on the rca harness Can’t figure out if there is an amplifier switch in the settings or not, I don’t see any
Comment from : @RagingBullNuts

thats a parabolic eq not a parametric eq parametric sets the curves for set points and they dont change parabolic changes the curves at any point, there is a differene i use parabolic term a lot on my channel in refernce to dayton audio dsp and people try to correct me and say parametric i shake my head and give the explanation of the 2 i like your channeland your videos i promise im not hating just saying id ;ike to know your thoughts on this
Comment from : @TrapMyRide

Sadly the link shows a different HU now With no volume knob :/
Comment from : @h4z4rd42

I wonder why no head unit has a rms above 15? 11 watts x4 7volts on subs I have a sound digital 4004 that fits in the palm of my hand That tech could easily fit inside a head unit Micro amps out perform head unit amps and that’s just dumb!
Comment from : @guestguest

I got this unit a i love it😊
Comment from : @barrymonroy7138

My phone was sitting in front of the computer while I watched this video and you managed to get it to navigate to down with sound Incidentally it's 16 hrs from here
Comment from : @joshualaird5303

45 second boot time is a no no
Comment from : @jrvillanueva859

This may be a bit of a reach, but does this unit have the ability to tune SiriusXM channels? Or would the external tuner still be needed?
Comment from : @Thompsongs

should I set my gains at full volume on this head unit or more around 32?
Comment from : @waffneezy

Car people can't wait 45 times too long Android and Apple people drag too slow
Comment from : @hcho8164

Were you able to test the screen rotation?
Comment from : @juliusharper1312

I'm talking about the first unit maxspeedrods unit with knob ✅
Comment from : @tomasexteriors

Sir I can't find exactly the same unit can you update the link or give me full model of it so I can search in China directbrThe audio menu this unit has (despite ugly design😂 I still very interested just in that menu alone🎉
Comment from : @tomasexteriors

Ummm, wow i just learned A LOT about car audio Also what kind of multi meter is that? Asking for a friend
Comment from : @Turshin

What is a good non amp unit
Comment from : @lilfide07

Shame it doesnt have rca outputs I wanna put those pumpers in the trunk
Comment from : @fatjaysgarage

Nice review!
Comment from : @laurantsmccloskey5927

Maxpeedingrod coilovers are the most dangerous coilovers ive ever used, never buy them, spend extra and get any other cheap set
Comment from : @YungSteambuns

Does the DSP does it have by chance time alignment on the speakers? Having over 4 volts on all those RCA’s a big selling point
Comment from : @Ron_Presley

Max speeding rods rebrands cheap Chinese parts and puts a warranty on it and people think that's good lol I wouldn't put their components on somebody's car who I hated lol
Comment from : @samvega827

Any recomendations for a 5 channel amp for this to push 4x 65 door components and single sub
Comment from : @JockoJohnson2012

So pretty just to make sure I fully understand, this headunit will sound great as long as it's paired with a 4 channel amp correct? I have a 18 inch sundown on a jp23 and door speakers on a skar 1000 rms 4 channel amp Will this head unit satisfy my needs for good sound quality??
Comment from : @juniorhernandez9693

I only buy with knob volume
Comment from : @edwincors

By the sound of it its Chinese so avoid it
Comment from : @aidanmaguire8712

that 40 second bootup is a deal killer that sucks would be a good unit if it were 5-9 seconds does this come with a larger screen? like a 10/13/17" screen?
Comment from : @beardedgaming1337

I like the YouTube song pick
Comment from : @jamescorfield534

The suspension is a death trap maybe the audio is better
Comment from : @garrettgiuffre7298

Yes pls save the volume knobs Never buying a new head w out the knobs
Comment from : @RealistNda8

Internals look exactly the same as every other chinese android head unit you can find right now from as low as $40 up to $1000 Only difference between them is slight changes to the housing and front inputs, and the software that comes preloaded They're all totally unlocked so you can root them and install any version of android and any car audio software you want on them if you don't like the stuff that comes preloaded I have one friend that spent $300 on one from ebay, another that spent $100 on amazon, and I just bought one recently on amazon for $40, they are all exactly the same unit Ironically the most expensive one was the only one that had any problems, when we went to add subs to the radio anytime we connected the RCA's the door speakers would cut out and only the subs would play, I searched through the settings for hours trying to find something that could be causing it, even stranger, when we just said f it and bough a loc to bypass this issue, whenever we connected the RCA's to the loc the same thing happened again, and I was left totally baffled HOW could the door speakers not be playing if the loc is getting its signal from them? Never did figure it out Ended up having to get an amp for the door speakers too
Comment from : @austinv183

they make terrible coilovers, pretty good connecting rods for the price tho
Comment from : @BEAMERNOOB

Does the unit clip when you start moving the frequencies up and down
Comment from : @Arturito2017

Ahhh I want this for the DSP But only planning to use the internal amps Recommendations?? Looking for cheap and double din
Comment from : @CrashCarson14

excellent review!
Comment from : @southern_merican

What is the brand and outputs of the blue amp with clear top
Comment from : @dcarden3031

So my experience with them is a set of coilovers Pretty cheap, thought I’d give them a shot And yeah… They are cheap, they feel cheap, and the ride quality was CHEAP Dampening all the way up? Felt like a rolling spring All the way down? Felt like a rolling springbrNot good
Comment from : @TheCompleteConfusion

Yeah my motorcycle speedo/tach is made my them Great display Still works 👍

Comment from : @ivanrios1383

USUAL Boot-Time is 45 seconds?! What potato is powering this brick? Tho I like the advertised feature- set, not gona wait nearly a minute to start the thing up That's just a deal-killer
Comment from : @neightneight1280

Here's a question for you Do any of the android head units support USB external DAC Have anice dac amp speaker setup I've been running with an android tablet as a head unit Its getting tired and looking to update, do the USB ports support external DACs? (or any other units?)
Comment from : @wondergoatness

Watched this 3 times and was very interested until I caught the boot up time of 45 seconds so I checked my other car which has a Kenwood Excelon DDX396 and the boot time for it is 16 seconds via key turn on until sound on FM and about 3 seconds longer to sound with USB on I figure 45 seconds is unacceptable and will annoy me immensely Checking in to XTRONS with volume knob as well
Comment from : @spec1923

Is the hdmi an input or output???
Comment from : @Josevargas-sb2ds

I ordered one from your link I'm trusting your measurements Might have some questions during install Well I'll ask now if I have four channels on my amp Do I run a splitter from each channel of my amp to my RCA hook ups running from the radio?
Comment from : @younglion72

Thanks for the review! I'm about to buy this thing but I really need to know if the DSP will allow good-old-fashione Front/Rear/Sub configuration I've got passive crossovers for each set of components
Comment from : @davidjeffers5611

This should sound great with my Orion XTR amps and my old school JL audio 3 12’s W6 even though I already have an Audison DSP on it
Comment from : @bigtg42

I wonder if they just took some generic Chinese stereo and slapped their brand name on it
Comment from : @mrmustache8735

Been looking for a budget double din and this seems to fit the bill But a little confused Since I'm only running doors and rear 6x9s with a sub, that would be the 2way setting, right? Which rcas would I use for that?
Comment from : @jimmybass7595

Just to clarify on the RCA outputs, you're recommending to use the 51 center L & R for the front speakers? I recently purchased 2 of these units for 2 different vehicles Both are using factory type 2 way speakers with no subs, not yet anyway Great video and very informative!
Comment from : @Crzyfrlss1

Cant Thank you enough! Awesome DIY Guide
Comment from : @ericg1149

is it possible to connect a dashcam to the HU?
Comment from : @aprilscherz1233

9:30 Pioneer had a basic version type of function back in the late 90s (maybe earlier?) it blew every other stereo off the market
Comment from : @rd400d

Is the rear fan noisy?
Comment from : @TestIng-iq1kq

Max PEEDING rods did start with rods 18t Audi/VW was an early one 144mm x 20mm extremely common Audi/Vw connecting rod size from what I remember
Comment from : @fixyourautomobile

What is the best sub I should run with this
Comment from : @thatdog8404

Could u test out a Eonon unit for bmw e39?brAnd should I get an separate amplifier with that
Comment from : @_unknown_-lk9wk

That's a nice one I haven't seen yet, Looking at options for my recently bought magnum You forgot to mention, the ability to run both a dashcam, as well as a backup cam, off the head unit (it's in the description) with all the bad drivers out there, a little protection is needed
Comment from : @crazylarryjr

I bought it, based on your video, and well love it! And gonna buy another I put this in my wife's car which has 4 kickers series door speakers and a Parts express 10' dual passive radiator sub set-up and everything came to life!brI will be replacing my Pioneer soon
Comment from : @fullerjoseph12

So i literally just installed this in my 06 rsx after having bought a cheap chinese knock off 2 years ago… bought this because of the wireless carplay, volume knob, being able to watch netflix or youtube, mirrorplay, and honestly my last unit was trash brbrGotta say i am absolutely in love with this thing for its price point nothing can beat it brbrBoot time is super quick I turn on my car and its paired with carplay in 5-10 seconds brbrI haven’t had any issues with the touch screen at all so far Smoother than the “Heiha” double din i had brbrUsb port for fast charging works perfectly brbrUsb for downloaded wallpapers and movies work perfectly Rewatched Spiderman no way home on it, quality was good Resolution is 16:9 ratio so most movies look fine brbrSound quality is great Max Volume on my last unit was 35 and i never needed more than that On this unit 30 is good enough but i it can go louder My rsx factory speakers sound great with this thing Planning to do a system so i guess this was worth it in the long runbrbrHonestly im glad i got this over atoto because some of them dont even have knobs or the physical buttons are too small Bigger brands cost too much and have way less features that i need brbrInstalling was super easy although i had to plot and drill holes on my actual honda brackets but idc i can get that at any junkyard or ebay
Comment from : @YTnMe

Hey I bought this because of your video and I installed it in a 1988 Honda Goldwing and ya without an amp is stinks but its way better than the factory radio oh volume is louder though I am running 2ohms and the FM radio is better and Apple Support is awesome great sound !!brbrcan’t wait to install an amplifier and sub
Comment from : @mid-mowinger4268

My silverado has the bose system with factory amp, would this unit be ok with my system ?
Comment from : @Knarf14

Of course it's double dinbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrAnd of course I drive a 93 BMW
Comment from : @SullySadface

very interestingi want to for a long time use such a unit but only have single dinwill need to mod the dash to take it
Comment from : @jacquesb5248

What 4 channel amp would you recommend for this headunit and on a budget under $120?
Comment from : @gabegalera

Anyone know what the factory password for this is to get into the settings?
Comment from : @iaidozen

Thanks for the video! This is exactly what I was looking for I am going to use it in a VW Jetta with the monsoon amp Do you think this will work since the monsoon amp uses speaker level inputs since the signal is clean until volume 29?
Comment from : @nicka9103

I have an 03 Yukon XL with Bose and plan to buy thisbrWould running rca to speaker wire adapters off of the headunit instead of wiring the vehicle harness to the headunits speaker outputs work?br I'm assuming the Bose amp is only looking for a low level audio signal, not an amplified signal from the headunit brI'm hoping to get around the Distortion the headunit has at its speakers outputs without bypassing bose and running a new amp to all of the speakers
Comment from : @WTFBROKEGarage

They make pretty damn good conrods!!
Comment from : @klubstompers

this was such a bad ass thorough review I bought a $60 Dual touch screen and it was terrible everything about it was garbage I've ran Maxpeedingrods coilovers, but never expected them to get into car audio too I'm impressed with the RCA outputs and DSP and ability to watch movies, I'll probably buy this with intention of pairing it with a 4 channel amp thanks for the vid
