✔This unit is an ISO standard double din size stereo and usually complete installation requires additional purchase of the following three aftermarket accessories.(not included in the package)
- Dash Kits for your car model. (Use to perfectly match the factory stereo dashboard opening.) If your car's dashboard opening size is double din, you don't need to purchase dash kits. Most brand dash kits use 170*97mm opening can perfectly match our stereo.
- Wire Harness for your car model. (Used to transfer your factory harness and ISO stereo wiring harness)
- Radio Antenna Adapter for your car model. (For transferring the factory antenna to the universal radio antenna interface)
You can find the correct aftermarket accessories by searching the year, make, and model of your vehicle on Amazon or Google.
4. Troubleshooting Tips: The head unit powers on for several seconds, then shuts down automatically?
- Some cars'ACC wires controled by canbus or have a feature called " delayed shut off " for radio and other components.
- These cars may not be able to output stable 12V accessory power to our radio. You need to buy the right harness adpater which " Provides accessory power " for your car model. Like the "PAC" brand of wiring harness.
- Also, if you don' t want to purchase the adapter, you can locate acc power elsewhere in your vehicle, then connect the red wire there.
5. The necessary conditions for powering on the unit:
- The Red wire of our harness gets switched 12V power. ( Have to turn on car key )
- The Yellow wire of our harness gets 12V power.
- The Black ground wire of our harness is valid.
- If you have Electric pen, you can test these 3 wire.
✔The car stereo has a memory function. If the ACC line(Red wire) and the B+ line(Yellow wire) are reversed during installation, the product will have no memory function after the power is off. The working voltage of this car stereo is 12V, it can't be used for big trucks with 24V.

With that in mind, I can honestly say that I am impressed with the SJoyBring JOY-W019. It is *a lot* better than it needs to be at its price point.
I put this unit in our 2002 Honda Accord (250k+ miles), which is rough-looking but stupidly reliable, despite being on hospice-level care for the last 5 years. Until now this car lacked modern A/V and navigation features, but the W019 fills that need, and it's a huge improvement! I just got back from completing a 500 mile road trip with the new head unit in the car, and I can share some thoughts on it.
What I like:
All of the features in the W019 (and bundled cameras!) seem to work as described!! The built-in feature set works: the built-in radio reception is very good, the software support for the cameras is fair/ok (and works ok once you get the hang of it), and most importantly, the CarPlay functionality is outstanding. The built-in mic works well enough for phone conversations, and I have not had any issues connecting my iPhone 12 Mini via wireless Apple CarPlay; imho the CarPlay system works *extremely* well, and since this was my main reason for purchase, I am quite happy about that! Now that my phone is paired to the W019 CarPlay appears automatically as soon as the console boots, which is within about 20 seconds of starting the vehicle.
The JOY-W019 screen has very good resolution, and the touch screen seems to work as expected - no issues at all so far.
The bundle I purchased included a dash cam and backup camera, and although the dash cam controls are a bit funky to use, the dash cam seems to work well (no issues retaining settings, it turns on automatically as expected, it has various parameters you can control via software and it remembers those settings, etc.). The backup camera feature also works well, though admittedly I am using a license plate frame-style backup camera made by another company. That works great with the W019 and hasn’t caused any issues, fwiw.
What I like most: The wireless Apple CarPlay works seamlessly, and this 21yo vehicle now has reliable navigation, Spotify support, a built in EQ, and a subwoofer line out w/a several options for the crossover point. I am *very* pleased with this unit and these features!
What I don’t like:
I have not had any issues with their software, but SJoyBring could be more forthcoming about identifying the current version of the W019’s software on their website! The software in the W019 can be updated, if necessary, but SJoyBring doesn’t have any firmware info on their website, and you have to pry the info from them via email. It would be very helpful if they identified the current software version on their website and made updates to the current software version publicly available. Instead, you need to write to SJoyBring tech support and provide complete proof of purchase before they will provide *any* firmware info, and this makes for some tedious back-and-forth email exchanges.
Other than that minor gripe, I really don’t have any other criticisms to offer. This unit far exceeds my expectations for a <$200 wireless Apple CarPlay compatible head unit with 4x 60W(-ish) output, various line outputs, and included front/rear cameras.
TL;DR: I bought one of these and have used it for >500 miles. It seems to work well so far and I am very happy with my purchase.

TL;DR: I bought one of these and have used it for >500 miles. It seems to work well so far and I am very happy with my purchase.
This went into a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and for that vintage of a vehicle, it really brings new technology to an older vehicle. Functions great out of the box. CarPlay works as it should and connects very fast.
I had read about not wasting money on these types of head units, why, for the price, on lightning deal, what more can you really ask for. Customer service has been on point. You have to keep in mind the time difference so it will take a day or two at most to get everything. That should be understood. Got the MCU upgraded and with my choice of load screen and wallpaper. I wish you had the ability to diy that but, for me, it’s a one time deal and I don’t see me changing that. Looks great.
Could I have went and purchased a $1000.00 head unit with a more known brand? Sure. But for a little more than a tenth of the cost? No way.
Now, don’t get me wrong, this may not last for years and years but I don’t expect it to and if it does - bonus points.
The installation was a breeze if you have any skill in understanding and vehicle wiring. The screen is gast and responsive. I installed the front and rear cameras and the picture is great. The cameras are cheap but give a great picture and capture angle. I appreciate them being cheap because when they inevitably get damaged (they are on a Jeep and a little exposed) they will be easy and cheap to replace. Let’s call them consumable parts for my use.
If in doubt, do it. I think you’ll be impressed with what you get for the money.
When this one serves its purpose I will be looking at their more higher end stuff that they offer. I look forward to seeing the difference.
I give only 4 stars, because there are several things that could be improved:
1. The brackets don't work for the Ford Focus and the ones of the original unit are not compatible either. I built my own brackets from scrap aluminum sheets. That worked but was tedious. (You probably won't have that problem, if you buy a dash kit for your car model)
2. The installation of the camera cable was very tedious. Both ends of the cable have rather bulky connectors and it was nearly impossible to get the cable through the rubber hose of the trunk lid harness. Moreover, the cables connecting to the revers lights were too short. It might be long enough for sedans, but it didn't work for my wagon and I had to use extra wire.
3. I didn't figure out how to run the radio while the unit is connected to android auto. if you have limited mobile data or if the coverage in your region is spotty, you can either run your navigation or listen to music (except you run it from file), but they don't work at the same time.
4. I didn't think about this before, but if you replace a traditional car stereo with such a unit, most likely you will have quite some glare and reflections on the screen. I will probably add a sun 'visor', because seeing is essentially impossible if the screen is in direct sunlight.
5. Apparently, one can customize the startup screen and the wallpaper, which is nice. However, you have to contact the customer service by email or facebook to get instructions on how to do that. I don't understand, why this information is not provided in the manual or internet (maybe I just didn't find it). It is certainly very positive to have a responsive customer service, but I would prefer to have the basic information without extra correspondence.
6. The mirroring feature requires an App to be installed on the phone. You have to scan a QR code which directs to a dubious website where the apk can be downloaded. Why is the app not in the play store?
