Is it possible to identify via photo which amplifier is this? I hope I attached it correctly. Or maybe via VIN number?

Thanks,
Mladen

It´s nearly impossible to use that standard amplifier with aftermarket HU. Best option is just to bypass it, but you loose subwoofer, and need to add crossover for front speakers. This also requires a little bit of modification for speaker wiring.

Hi guys, I asked the seller, I will copy the answer, hope you don't mind.
"Dear, put the power cord I marked, put the original car CD back, and use a multimeter to measure whether there is 12V voltage on this line when playing music, and there is no 12V voltage when no music is playing, it proves that this is the line, connect to our power supply The wire is marked ANT blue wire, thank you"

This connector is from RT4 (marked with "a") number 9. We are going to give it a try tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Android Auto is now working wireless on my Joying without any additional hardware. Headunit Reloaded -software did the trick. Also 10" subwoofer finally installed. Sound setup also made, so ready for holiday trip.

Hi all ,
Has anyone with a non Joying unit managed to get AC info to show on the screen?
Also any way to adjust the flexible parking lines?

Yes AC-info is showing fine.

You can adjust parking lines when reverse is selected and parking lines are showing. Just click display then. Unfortunately on my unit those settings are not saved after reboot.

What radio do you have? On my radio there are static and flexible parking lines and you can only adjust the static lines.
