My Toyota Highlander 2010 Got a Game-Changer: AFIXEASY TS18 Car Radio | UAE
From Outdated to Outstanding: How AFIXEASY TS18 Transformed My Daily Drives in Dubai
I’ve had my Toyota Highlander 2010 for over a decade now. It’s been my reliable companion for every journey—morning commutes to Dubai Marina, weekend road trips to Abu Dhabi’s Corniche, and even quick runs to Bahrain for family visits. But there was one thing that always let it down: the factory radio.
Imagine this: You’re stuck in Dubai’s rush-hour traffic, trying to switch to your favorite radio station, and the buttons are unresponsive. You want to navigate to a new café your friend recommended, but your phone’s GPS keeps glitching because you can’t mount it properly. And don’t even get me started on trying to take a call hands-free—fumbling with your phone while merging onto Sheikh Zayed Road? Total nightmare.
I knew I needed an upgrade, but I was worried about two things: finding a radio that fit my old Highlander without looking out of place, and dealing with the hassle of installation in the UAE. That’s when a friend told me about the AFIXEASY TS18 (Model: TS18, XY-093) Android 12 Car Radio—and it turned out to be exactly what I’d been searching for.
The first thing that impressed me? The perfect fit. The 9-inch touchscreen came with a custom frame that blended seamlessly with my Highlander’s dashboard—no messy modifications, no gaps, just a sleek, modern look that made my 2010 SUV feel brand new. It’s a universal 2DIN radio, but you’d never know it wasn’t made specifically for my car.
But the real magic is in the performance. The AFIXEASY TS18 runs on an 8-Core Cortex™ A55 1.6GHZ CPU with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM, paired with Android 12.0—and it’s lightning fast. I can switch between GPS navigation, streaming music, and taking calls without a single lag. The 1280*720 IPS HD screen (with 2.5D tempered glass) is crystal-clear, even in Dubai’s intense sunlight—no more squinting to see directions or song titles.
Now, my daily drives are a breeze. I use the built-in 4G connectivity to stay linked on the go—streaming my favorite playlists from my phone or accessing real-time traffic updates to avoid jams. The built-in GPS navigation is a lifesaver; I no longer rely on my phone because it has offline maps and real-time directions, which came in handy when I drove to a remote beach in Abu Dhabi last month.
CarPlay integration has been a game-changer for safety. I sync my iPhone in seconds, make hands-free calls, send voice-activated texts, and even use my phone’s apps—all without taking my hands off the wheel. The built-in DSP also makes a huge difference; the sound quality is so clear, my morning commutes feel like a private concert.
And let’s talk about the UAE-exclusive perks that sold me. AFIXEASY offers free local installation across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain, handled by the professionals at Al Zarkon Auto Accessories Trading LLC. I booked my installation online, dropped off my car, and picked it up a few hours later—no DIY stress, no complicated wiring. Plus, it comes with a 2-year warranty, so I have peace of mind knowing my upgrade is protected.
I was also pleasantly surprised by all the extra features: 360 Panorama support and front/rear camera input make parking in tight Dubai lots a cinch, steering wheel control lets me adjust volume and change tracks without distractions, and the multi-language support is perfect for my family visits to Bahrain (it works in Arabic and English, plus more).
When I unboxed the TS18, everything I needed was included: the car navigation (with custom frame), power cable, GPS antenna, RCA cable, CAM cable, 6PIN USB, and 4PIN USB—no extra trips to buy accessories.
If you own a Toyota Highlander 2009-2014 in the UAE, I can’t recommend the AFIXEASY TS18 enough. It’s not just a car radio—it’s an upgrade that makes every drive safer, more convenient, and more enjoyable. My old Highlander feels new again, and I look forward to every journey now.
