Toyota pure display audio exchange, is it okay? [sound unit setting method]

This series attempts to reveal the interest and mystery of car audio by explaining the installation method of car audio unit and the theory in operation. This will continue the last time, to bring you the fun way of Toyota pure display audio and the sequel to change the relevant instructions.

Well, in the last report, Toyota's pure display audio is beneficial on the one hand, and it also shows that some car owners are dissatisfied with it on the other hand. There are two main points of dissatisfaction that may arise. One is "the comfort of mobile navigation applications", and the other is "it is difficult to enjoy film and television content". On this basis, this time will be corresponding to the former dissatisfaction with the method to explain.

By the way, Toyota's pure display audio is characterized by support for Apple CarPlay and androidauto. As a result, mobile navigation applications can be easily used. The map is displayed on the car display, and the operation can also be carried out on the screen. However, in the case of accustomed to the use of high-performance market navigation system, sometimes can not meet its comfort.

So there are two ways to deal with this discontent. One is to add a navigator to import pure options, and the other is to replace it with a navigator on the market.

However, whether it can be replaced depends on the model. First of all, it is easier to replace models that do not have audio to choose from with navigators on the market. On the contrary, in the model that can only choose pure display audio, it is difficult to replace the commercial navigation system when the central cluster panel is difficult to ensure 2DIN space. In some cases, the central cluster panel can be replaced by transforming the central cluster panel, but the cost is relatively difficult.

On the other hand, in the case of models such as Alfa / Verfer that can ensure that the navigation systems on the market enter the space, the navigation systems sold on the market can be replaced.

However, there is one caveat. That is, "optional products bound to monitor audio cannot be used." For example, the optional CD/DVD player or digital tuner cannot be operated if the genuine display audio is removed. This is because it is the specification for operating on the audio screen of a pure display. In other words, if the audio of the genuine monitor is removed, the switch class will be lost. That is, the option of using them as an external player cannot be taken.

Therefore, when buying a car body, I would like to consider whether to continue to use pure display audio or to change the market navigation. Then, if the conclusion is to switch to the navigation system on the market, choose the car without audio from the beginning if you have a choice, and if you can't, make the decision not to add the option product. If options are accidentally added, the cost will be wasted.

In addition, in the case of replacing the pure display stereo with the navigation system sold on the market, it will be relieved if it is carried out in an experienced car audio store. I hope I can refer to it.

That's it this time. Next time, we will continue to explain the audio of Toyota's pure display. Begging expectations.
