Replacing the Radio

[Arman98]

Most reputable shops or installers should have these in stock for when they do the Installation

I’m thinking of just getting the Phoenix...seams a lot easier cost efficient. You think I could install it or should I take it in?

There are no instructions with the unit when you purchase however there are YouTube videos that explain the removal process of the radio, and the install process is reversed, the radio is just plug and play, there is no splicing or cutting required, you will get much better sound even if you don't t swap the speakers, the built in amp is way better than stock, gave some life to the stock speakers

Not sure why you would get the Phoenix over just buying direct from Dasaita, especially with the special pricing on the Android 8.0 model:

What phone mount is that?

Easy One Touch Wireless Fast Charging Dash & Windshield Mount
Model No: HLCRIO134

got it on ebay for $24

only negative for where i have it, it blocks the glove box from opening, but i hardly go in there,
this mount has the reusable sticky suction cup mount, QI wireless charging so when i place the phone on the mount it starts fast charging.

Hey, i have this unit in my 2017 hatchback sport auto, i love the unit, i got the octa-core with 32gb rom, its fairly smooth and all functions work great. i havent seen interior of the 2018 but as far as i know, they didnt make any changes to dash.

everything with the radio is plug and play, no splicing required, and it keeps functionality of all the cameras and usb ports, also shows on the screen what door/hood/hatch is open, and when u change temp settings it shows on the screen

Does it kee the OEM mic or do you use the HU mic?
