I have an old PSU which I've modified to get a 12V (yellow) and GND (black), there are a lot of videos on youtube that shows how to connect a car stereo to a PSU.
But I have some doubts about which cables I have to use. In the ISO Wiring Harness I have 4 connectors I suspect I need to use (see picture).
GND - to ground
Illumination - ???
B+ - ???
ACC - to 12v?
Anyone could help me, I know a lot of you test their units at home using specific 12v power adapters or PSUs.
Yellow and red simultaneously to a +12V
Black to gnd

With the old head unit, it works, but with the new one, it doesnt.
I've put the 12v wire to red and yellow and the ground wire to the black one.
Edit: I've already tested the PSU, it gives 12v.
See the cables (photo attached).
Have you the ACC wire connected to Can bus decoder?

Nope, should i?
I've used the other iso wiring harness (marked as 6B in the first image) , conecting a2 to gnd and a4+a8 to 12v and it works.
I might be making something wrong with harness 6
Edit 2: You were right, the red wire has another connector that was unpluged with a label "if no cambus connect here", I've connected it and it works.
I guess i must unpluged it again when installing the hu on my car, isnt it?

When you mount on car:
- If you have canbus decoder the ACC signal come from Canbus and you must unplug the connector.
- if you NOT have canbus decoder you must connect the 2 connectors togheter and ACC signal come from ISO connector and reach the radio.
Case when you use a bench power supply:
1. You not have canbus signal, so you must unplug canbus decoder.
2. Without canbus decoder you must plug togheter the ACC connector for allow that ACC signal reach radio from ISO connector.
IMPORTANT: Don't give 12V to ACC if you connect the 2 connector togheter and have canbus decoder connected. You can damage the canbus decoder!
Remember: OR you connect canbus decoder, OR you connect the 2 connectors togheter!
Hope this help you
Absolutely brilliant explanation, thank you.

Hi all, I am trying to connect my android Headunit to an atx power supply. I connected the positive from the psu to the Yellow (positive) + Red (ACC) connectors bridged together, on the quadlock, and gnd from psu to gnd on the quadlock. It turns on for a second and then it immediataly turns off. I don't understand the canbus decoder thing, can someone give me some help please?

Hello,
Kind of same problem I have.
Trying to bench power newly received FunRover Android 7" 2DIN head unit using a power adapter 12DC 2A.
I am applying power to pin 12 and 15 of the ISO conn at the back of the unit. I have also installed jumper C (17-18 and 19-20) ILL and ACC. Unit has built in CAN bus decoder. When applying power screen blinks and then nothing. It will do same if I apply power again after 10 min, otherwise nothing.
I can not understand what am I doing wrong ? Anybody help please ...

Most radios are fused at 10A, remember this when picking a supply, I have a 10-20VDC 10A power supply to my tb103ap hu and have no issues running it.
Your 2A may be too low for the power up state.

Thank you,
True, my fuse is 15A, but I beleive this is taking in consideration a powerfull stereo you'd have installed in your car.
Android unit by itself, without any periferals connected can not take 10A, no way.
Next day I have actually used 12VDC from my ATX PS of my desktop PC, that should be 300W I belive ...yet ...same ...
If you're using an ATX power supply it needs to have a load on the 5V rail and maybe on the 3.3V too. Just put a 10 Ohm 5W resistor between a 5V line and Ground. An old AT PSU won't give you that trouble.

Do you have pins on the back of your device?
For some reason mine didn't want to boot unless I changed the pin configuration.
Check the top side of the unit, it should have a standard configuration.

Sorry, I believe they are called DIPs. They are little switches you can turn on and off. My unit has 4.

Hi there,
I'm trying to install one of the Dasaita PX5 headunits in my new QASHQAI and I've hit a snag. Two of the connectors on the wiring harness included with the unit are identical, but have very different wires coming out of them. I assume they are dependant in your cars factory setup, but since my unit didn't come with any sort of instructions I'm at a loss as to what they are.
My car has the small colour LCD from factory, with a factory rear camera (not the 360 camera) and front/rear parking sensors. Standard manual AC controls (not dual climate).
Any guidance would be appreciated!
I would assume that the "Low Plug" is for cars with low a equipment variant (as you can tell from the cables going into the connector already) and the other one is for cars with a more stuff.
So as of your cars description I would say go with the medium one and test it out.
Yep, I had a better look at the existing wiring loom today and the wires matched pretty well.
Decided to give it a try and it works brilliantly!
Factory rear camera and steering wheel controls all work, and I swear the audio quality using on board apps is better than the factory unit.
Hello, is it an android 8.0 unit ? If yes, does bluetooth works ?
This unit runs Android 6.0. There are 8.0 upgrade guides floating around but I honestly haven’t had the time or inclination to try it, the unit is working really well as is.
Bluetooth phone calls work great.
Bluetooth audio streaming works but I’ve used it maybe once briefly (I do all music and streaming directly on the headunit) so I cant really comment on how well audio works.
Ok thanks, I'm considering byuing a dasaita but I heard bluetooth doesn't work with android 8.0 units !

Have you connected the reverse trigger wire? I *think* its pink in color.. or blue. You'll probably have to splice it. This trigger is connected to your reverse gear, so that when you are in reverse, the screen will switch to camera.

Hey mate, I'd have to pull out my unit to check, but I'd expect you connect it to the CAM IN connector. The White/Red RCAs should be for the AUX input in the armrest, and the yellow RCA for the camera.
I assume you have a factory camera yes? With it all connected my factory camera automatically flicks on when in reverse (even if the unit is still booting).

I'm really drawn to this head unit for my 2017 Rogue SL AWD. My current non-Android Auto/Car play unit is basically just a bluetooth steamer. The built-in maps are so slow, outdated, cumbersome and without helpful traffic info that I simply use Google maps. This new unit looks sharp and allows full functionality without paying Nissan that crazy monthly fee.
I'm in 100% if I can more or less just do a swap out.

Hi all, i have Nissan Qashqai 2018 and i just few days ago i got my Dasaita PX5. Everything looks fine and work very well, but I am little bit concerned about noise which is coming out from device. Every time when I accelerate I am getting some kind of whistling noise coming out from device. Noise sometimes disappears but than come back again and started to be very noise. I tested and its coming from screen device, only disappears when I unplug the big black plug (which I think it is a main electrical socket or power supply because without that is not working). Do you guys have any similar issues before? Do you have any suggestions how to fix same one?
Second question is regarding to the SWC option. I connected everything how they did suggest but still is not working. I did choose proper settings on display and still nothing changed. I tried to contact support but until today no answer.
All help is more than welcome

I reinstalled the stock radio, in the speakers work. So does not a wiring issue from the harness to the speakers. My guess is it something in the amp of the head unit itself.

Any ideas? Is this a hardware issue?
Thanks in advance!
Yes definitely a hardware issue. Do you like to play it loud? There was a load of heatsink compound between the amplifier chip and the case in my HU indicating a fairly large gap between the two. Should your HU have similar poor assembly the amp could have blown even if they're supposed to have thermal protection. It's also possible that at least one solder could have broke. If you can connect an amplified speaker or headphones to the line out you could find out if audio is making it out of the mixer chip at least.

Thank you sir. I'm going to try to connect it back up and see if I can run it to a Bluetooth speaker. Until I get my new one. Better than having a hole in the dash I suppose.... also I did see the amplifier chip you're talking about it looks like it does have thermal paste and is screwed tightly to the back heat sink area .

Crystal ball says Defective install
I checked everyhting, radio is coming with a harness and it is specifically designed for my car so no possiblity for error. There are two +12V wires, one is continuous +12V (yellow) and the other is ACC (+12v when key is in ignition position). I will probably will cut the yellow wire and will connect everyhting to ACC wire so there is no power in the system when ACC is OFF

My MCU is a PX5 using firmware MTCE_HA_v3.78_1, I got a Mazda 3 2006 and are several options for canbus configuration.
I checked the canbus module has a yellow wire with always +12V, I was thinking of switching this wire by ACC ON so it has +12V only when ignition is ON

Once again: Check the health status of your battery and measure the current when the car is in deep sleep.
On top: check the CANbus settings in your head unit.
It´s normal if the head unit takes about 4-12 milliamps during deep sleep. Nearly the same as each single OEM radio.

Hi,
First time posting. I'm looking for ideas or possible fixes to this issue.
Recently installed a EKIY T7 into 2010 Outback. Headunit turns on and works fine in ACC, but when I start the engine, the screen goes black, turns off. I thought maybe it was rebooting from loss of power when engine starts, but it does not turn back on when driving.
Only thing I'd say I did that would be off, way cut the blue wire that runs from the power harness, on radio side, to the antenna. The 2010 outback antenna adapter with blue wire did not fit, so ended up using one without it.
I think this is just the power antenna wire, but am unsure. was thinking one solution might be installing a remote on switch.
Attached photos, is screen on when in ACC. Type of plugs, and pin diagram.
I had this problem with Nissan X-trail, after it had been in for repair. Turned out a fuse had been removed and not replaced, by accident or on purpose I have no idea. Might be worth checking ALL your fuses. There are two boxes in the cab of my car.

It sounds like a ACC red cable problem. ACC controls if the unit should sleep or not. Measure the red cable when your engine runs, should have 12 -14 volt something. I.e. red cable in your HU harness.
Thank you. I'll try that. Was thinking maybe red and yellow wire are backwards. Will report back on progress.

In that case the screen should not be black when the car is running. Yellow is B+, always on, while red is sleep (No 12-14 volt) or no sleep=active(12-14 volt).
After trying a few other things, I was able to keep it turned on with the alternator unplugged. So maybe a diode in the alternator is going out. Will keep updates on whether a new alternator fixed it
Finally got it figured out with the help of their tech support. Solution was to cut the steering wheel learning wires (a6 and a7). Not sure why but this fixed it hope that helps others if they encounter same problem.

What did you do with the SWC cables Key1 and Key2 for the problem to appear? I mean before you solved the problem. Normally if you have canbusbox they are not used at all and left open. Did you ground them or what?
I didn't have a canbus connected at all. Was told to just snip pink wire, A6 and A7 going to the head unit. fairly certain it was just the A6 wire that did it. I have no idea why that worked at all, but it did.
