Hi Guys
I hope some clever guys can help me out. I bought this head unit.
Android Toyota Hilux Navigation - A9 Dual Core, 3G, WiFi, GPS, DVD, Bluetooth, Radio, DSP, OBD from stop shop running android 4.4
Everything is working perfectly and I am happy with the unit, put I struggle to get the DVR function to work properly. It has a head unit specific DVR app installed that does not even pick up the DVR usb camera that came with the unit. I tried different apps such as Road Voyager that displays the camera, put the moment I press record a green disturbance is displayed and recorded. It does take pictures fine.
The camera view code is H.264 with resolution 640*480, even if I select the video settings to match I cannot record anything than the green disturbance.
I tried this on all three usb ports with the same results.
I am not sure what to do, if it is a camera issue or a setting. I cannot find any setting on the head unit itself to set the camera.
Can someone much cleverer than me maybe help. I cant seem to find any similar information on the web.
thanks
" It does take pictures fine "
What resolution are the pictures?, check this out and use the same resolution for video recording.
Some cheap cameras only support single resolution.

I'm looking to add a head unit in my side by side UTV, not sure about waterproofing yet but I'll deal with that later.
What I'll be using it for.
GPS - Must have an external GPS receiver. Will be using third party app specific for off-roading
Cameras - Would like front and rear cameras, or capability. Preferably something compatible with third party cameras so I can get something nice
DVR - The option to record front from front/rear cameras.
Music - Probably will use bluetooth or usb the most.
Anyone have any recommendations to what unit(s) I should look at?
I have no clue to be honest but would be usefull if you give more information like 1 din, 2 din, budget etc
I was hoping to add rear view camera to my Joying head unit, I have a camera which connects SPDIF, which I assume plugs into the Video In port in the back of the head unit, what app can I use to view the camera feed?
I was also thinking of using the camera to record the rear view of the car also, can anyone recommend an app to be able to do this?
I have tested out the camera using AUX-IN app but it just hangs and crashes.
TIA
Hello:
This Eonon GA9153A officially only supports 2.4ghz wifi - which is... ok.
Is there any possibility of adding a compabitble USB 5ghz dongle to it - I'm aware of the driver issue with Android, etc. -
Just wondering if there might be a plug and play option out there buy?
I'm running the Sprint Drive Hotspot ODB2 dongle (via a splitter) and it's ok - slow - on the HU - compared to my Pixel 4 or even the iPhone 11 (work phone) when I connect to the Hotspot to test - seems the bottle neck is the HU... and also would like to be able to connect to 5ghz network? - i.e like in my garage..etc.
Thanks!
I doubt you'll see much of a speed increase between 2.4 and 5GHz, unless 2.4GHz is crowded in your area. But that is then only an issue when you are stationary.

DC is a crowded spectrum stationary or otherwise. However even on 2.4 it’s very very slow compared to other devices ther I can connect on this ODB hotspot. 40-60 (with higher bursts) down for those devices to 2 - 5 down only on the HU.
Perhaps the location of the WiFi antenna dongle of the Eonon may be a factor? I have the same unit, but haven't run any speed tests yet. Regular stuff like Spotify streaming and using Google Maps seems to work fine. I am not looking to stream 4K Netflix, so whatever the bandwidth, it suits my needs.
P.S.: I am using a Netgear AC791L hotspot with a Google Fi data SIM. The hotspot is resting in the center console and the Eonon WiFi antenna sits in the glove compartment.
Also ensure the WiFi antenna is fastened tightly to the HU.

Nope. the antenna is external - and it's vertical per the polarity of the antenna type.
I've tried other antennas - it's just poor performance. Same results with a similar Android HU - however otherwise that one is fine - hardware speed, etc, (it's on 2GB of RAM.)
Eonon has said that the internal antenna doesn't support 5ghz.. and well, the 2.4 isn't that great - Youtube music, Spotify, XM, etc set at high quality kills it. Normal is a tad better, but not much.
BT from my Pixel 4 or iphone works flawless at the higher bitrates - either on cell or via the hotspot connection as a test.... So it's def the radio.
NOTE: the radio stumbles when running split screen apps - it simply stutters, stumbles, and become very very slow - To the point WAZE / or other maps in split screen w/ an audio app get's terrible - quickly.
Again, the 2GB non PX5 Android HU I have putters right along, fine as can be... Technically, a non name brand Chinese - but aren't they all?
I'm going to pick up a Pioneer or like Andriod name brand - the Eonon was $225 +/- - so no big deal. I just want decent performance.
My experience with the exact same unit is more positive (as I mentioned in response to one of your other threads). I had ordered both this unit we are taking about here, but also the Android 9/2GB unit from Eonon. The latter had lots of lag just regularly switching between apps and performing actions. So I returned the Android 9/2GB unit and kept this Android 8/4GB unit. Split screen works fine, as far as my tests with Google Maps and the radio app go. Haven't tried Waze yet, as I prefer GMaps with lane assist. And everything is rather fluid without lag.
Eonon did offer me a software and MCU update when I complained about some static noise issue (see my response in your other thread on this issue), which I didn't yet try, but perhaps they can help you with an update as well, or you can try rooting it and put a different rom on there. If you do that, I'd love to hear your steps and results.
Maybe apps like Greenify help, too. I use that on my Android phone but haven't tried on the HU yet.

Hello,
I have a PX5 unit with Droid 10 and I'd like to connect two (front and rear) dash cam to analog AV input
Please see my photo album. There is the connection diagram
Where do i need to connect to be able to switch modes - parking and front
I use Viofo A119 A129
Thanks
