2014-2019 Kluger Head Unit Best Car play / AA Decoder

Tarz · July 6

One important piece of technology absent in my 2019 Kluger Grande was the lack of Carplay / Android Auto. After much research I recently installed the Carsynchtech Android Auto decoder , this device fits seamlessly into the OEM head unit with a medium level of installation ability required. The screen resolution of the decoder is brilliant because the device connects directly via a ribbon cable to the screen and uses the factory bluetooth as audio. Other cheaper devices use the AUX for video and sound resulting in poor quality for both. All steering wheel functions work perfectly , I can change radio stations and audio source on Entune while running in AA. If I want audio on AA I simply go to bluetooth audio. Google assistant works great, you switch between Entune and AA by holding the hangup button on the steering wheel or by pressing the top left screen corner for 2 seconds. The decoder fully integrates with the 360 camera as well. This device gives the look and feel of a factory fitted option. The biggest issue with replacing the original HU with a screen on ebay for example is that you lose the ability to control all the vehicle settings , such as door locking. This unit gives you the ability to have the best of both worlds by switching between Entune or Carplay. The customer service is extremely helpful as well, normally emailing back within 24 hours. It took a couple of hours to install taking my time, there are two extra tiny screws (Australian version) that aren't shown on the video installation guide that must be removed when separating the screen. It has definitely transformed the car !

Note: The Australian version Head Unit is Fujitsu Ten, let them know before ordering. These units are being sold cheaper on AliExpress , to be 100% sure I got mine direct from the supplier. There is much info on the net for those interested.
