upgrade Stereo to Joying Android Stereo with 10 inch screen
#11
A lot 😉
I'm overseas traveling and don't remember the model number. It's a Kenwood eXcelon like DNX9 something.
Was a complete install.
Focal 3 ways upfront
Focal 2 ways in the back doors
Dynamat doors
Front and rear dash cam install (independent from the deck)
Front and back up cameras connected to the deck
Amps
10" Sub on the back door.
USB power points in rear (replaced stock passenger radio controls)
2 USB and 1 HDMI connection in the dash
Was $5,000 before tax in parts and labor
Sounds awesome and I love the Car Play integration
Rear sub was a lot of work. I wanted it to look stock'ish and not interfere with the fold down jump seats.

I did this in my disco, I have apple carplay, backup camera, etc now, it was a lot of fab work, a lot of bondo and jb weld, etc but works out well. in case anyone is interested in doing this here are a few pictures of the process, basically had to cut the dash trim piece apart, then glue it back together with jb weld and some fiberglass mat for strength, then bondo it up and paint the trim piece, the hvac control ends up being lowered by about 1/2 and inch and has to be trimmed a little on the back side to fit. then i used some aluminum angle to make a mounting bracket for the radio and installed that first, then the trim went on and then all the switches, hvac controls, etc. go back in.
I don't have a final picture of how it turned out on my phone, but will get one tonight and upload it.
Over all it turned out pretty good, the stereo I used was a pioneer that was pretty deep and ended up sticking out just a little further on the top than I would have liked, but because of the awkward shape I could angle it more, if I had used another brand without the lip for the controls I could have got a better fit, but I had already purchased the head unit and didn't want to try and do a different one.
feel free to reach out if your thinking of doing something like this, I can probably give you a few pointers.

Cool, but a bit off topic. The stereo i got fits in a normal single din space, so no need for any fabrication. The screen attaches to the outside and sricks a bit out on the dash.
The question was if anyone know how I can get the speakers to works, or why connecting the iso sockets does not seem to be enough ..
Thanks

I was able to dig out what I think is the correct pinout for the Joying harness, and it looks like it should be correct. Be sure you don't have c0092 and c0098 backwards and plugged into the wrong socket. Should be obvious if they are not right though, since one of them supplies power to the head unit, it would not turn on if they were backwards. I'll attach the diagram I found for the joying for reference.
I'm curious how this goes for you, because I've thought about android in my D2. I would like to incorporate OBD2 data into dashboards, but that seems like a challenge on my 2000 model. I like the options for putting a car launcher solution together with Android though.

My final thought for you for the night. Does the documentation that came with the Joying unit specify what the 'AMP-CONT' wire is for? It could be an internal amplifier that needs to be powered, in order to drive the speakers. Meaning, if the amp in the head unit is powered individually from the head unit itself, it may not be producing speaker output yet, explaining why you're not hearing sound, even if the connector pinouts are correct. Check to see what that 'amp-cont' wire is for.

I'm not sure, but it is entirely possible that any power the D2 radio requires is handled through the power connections contained within the connectors. And if your new head unit requires separate power to an amp, and that is what that connector is for, it could explain your challenges.
