Eonon Android 5.1.1 bluetooth issues & canbus issues

hi guys
new to the forum, hopefully someone will be able to help me
my unit has stock MTCC-KLD6-V2.97 Aug 02 2016 with a RK3188 and 1024x600 screen
Firstly the Bluetooth is not working, quite a lot of apps hang at the part where it try's to turn the BT on, especially one app i really need to work.
I honestly don't know what model of BT chip is installed in the head unit, apparently its BT 4.0 as listed on there website
I have been into the factory menu and changed the BT from WQ_BC6 to WQ_BC6B (as suggested somewhere in this forum) but it has made no change and the BT is still hanging at powering on.
Eonon have told me that the Bluetooth only work with devices that don't require a pin and the radar detector device i need to connect does not require a pin but still it does not work.
Not quite sure if eonon has set the setting wrong and i need to change it or i need to goto a custom rom or I need to pull the unit apart to find out.
Found someone else having trouble getting there ALPconnect app to work aswell on these units, in know ALPconnect wont work on older unit like the 4.4.4 as they only had BT 2.0 and the ALP BT only supports 4.0, but this android unit has 4.0 so it should not be a problem but it is.

The app I use, ALPConnect, does the exact same thing. Fortunately, the hardware on mine includes a hardwired speaker and GPS setup that work standalone. The benefit of the app was to get a nice big visual notification of a trap, as it would come into focus, duck the audio and play an alarm. It would also report the frequency of the radar and the type of laser hitting me. While I can get by without all that, I can't have the music blaring like I usually do, as the little speaker is only so loud and the Joying head unit doesn't have Mute Input wire to duck the audio.
While this is going slightly off topic, you may want to look into the AL Priority, it can interface with your V1 too and you will also gain laser protection. This thing has saved my a** countless times and paid for itself already many times over.

Secondly the control menu in the android head unit for accessing the cars buttons via cambus does not work, all steering wheels button seem to communicate back and work, but i cannot set my clock on my mazda 3.
Also have noticed that the radio wont mute when notification occur or when using other apps like google maps, no way to set the different volumes in this stock rom. Have played around with the factory menu volumes but it makes no diffidence.
Is it viable and worth changing to a different ROM, like Malaysk? or should i message eonon?
any help would be much appreciated
thanks

I'm having exactly the same issue with a Pumpkin MTCC-KLD6-V2.91. (RK3188/1024x600)
The device I want to pair with appears in Bluetooth settings (with a phone icon?) but connecting to it does nothing. It's just a Bluetooth SPP device, like so many other devices.
Malaysk's ROM (from 7/25) doesn't change anything here.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Waiting on a reply from Eonon, but initial news is not good.
Some serious BT issues in this model the MTCC
Anyone know if any Malaysk's Rom's avalable for the MTCC-KLD6-V2.91 that have no BT issues

I'm having the same issue, though my unit (MTCC KLD6) does not show any devices at all to pair with, and the car unit does not appear on my phone.
I'm wondering - if I take a usb BT dongle and attach it to the usb cable, would that work?

I think it might be another issue with your BT, it should connect to your phone at very least.
Have you had a look in your factory menu to see if the MCU has the Bluetooth option set?
Password for me was 126
Unfortunately the unit does not support external USB Bluetooth and probably never will, unless the manufacturer MTC/Klyde adds the required drivers to the unit or a Awesome developer by some stroke of luck here adds it to the unit. I doubt to see the feature in this unit

Thanks for the reply. Yes, i checked to make sure Bluetooth was enabled in the system settings. I've tried a few of them (change setting, reboot, attempt pairing), i guess the next step is to try them all one by one to rule that out. I've sent an email to the seller to see if they have any ideas.

The vendor told me to connect the Key-1 & Key-2 wires from the canbus to the car, not sure why they'd think that would solve BT issues?

Did this fix the issue? I'm unable to see any Bluetooth devices and other Bluetooth devices don't see it.

Sorry to dig up an old thread
I have the Eonon GA2180a (android 10) - and having similar issues to here
I want to pair a bluetooth remote (read, steering wheel controls) to the head unit, but the bluetooth search just shows blank! I can connect to it using my phone but it appears some things are hidden to connect to with these android units? Looks like the bluetooth 'app' is the only way to connect too, theres nothing in the android settings to access a bluetooth menu or anything.
Did anyone get anywhere with this ?
cheers

Finding the Joying Torque APK

Does anyone know where you can find the APK for the hacked Torque app uses to get around the Bluetooth connectivity issues (for the JY-UL135 if it matters) in the app with OBD readers? After I updated my head unit a while back, the app vanished (along with some other stuff, like the MirrorLink and such, oddly enough). I tried replacing it from the app store, but obviously that didn't work because of their stupid handling of the Bluetooth stack. I've scrounged around and so far have come up empty. I don't care so much about the other stuff, but having Torque was one thing I was really hoping to utilize.

are you still using the Joying ROM? it is in there somewhere. I forget if they have an "OEM" app or if that was Malaysk. But you can also use the APK installer app that is there and if you look at the head unit memory it will find the apk in there

Yeah, still stock. I'd thought about trying Malaysk's ROM, but was wary of the unstable state that it said it was in. I'll take a look. I know the tool you're talking about, I'll go dig around on it and see if I can find it somewhere and report back. Thanks!

You were right. The APKInstaller had them under OEM/apk. Unfortunately, I got no love from my OBD adapter as I'd hoped, so I guess that was an exercise in futility. Here's hoping they realize this is pretty much an issue for everyone trying to use OBD on their units and they patch it.

has yours worked before? I got a cheap one from Amazon and it worked with the Joying version of Torque.
I got this one to work:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P...UTF8&psc=1
At first I could not see it. So I changed my Bluetooth password on the Joying to 1234 to match the OBDII. Then I had to disconnect my Samsung S7 Edge. Then when I searched I found the OBDII. I was able to connect it and reconnect my S7 Edge, and have both my phone and the OBDII adapter connected at the same time.

I've never had it work on the unit, but I hadn't tried until now when I realized the app had vanished. I have two readers, one is a bit bigger, the other is a smaller blue one just like the one on the Joying website. The bigger one has always worked with my phone. The smaller one doesn't even seem to work with my phone, so it might be that it's just straight up cheap, defective, Chinese crap in this case. I'll try changing the pin though and see if that helps.
I do see the communications lights flashing on it when the stereo is trying to get going with it, but it never manages to hook up.

you have to change the password on the Joying to match whatever the OBD is

Yeah, so this is neat. I got it working.
I DID have to change the password to 1234. But the funny part is, it still didn't work with the little blue dongle at first when I tested it. I moved back to my bigger one and connected it (worth noting, the blue one identifies itself as OBDII in the list, my big one is CBT - I mention this only because I've seen others report that the reader needs to be name OBD or OBDII). The little OBD icon didn't show up in the status bar this time, but Torque did see and connect to it without issue. So, not exactly how I thought I'd get there, but I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow after all.
Thanks for the suggestion, problem solved. Too bad I can't update the app. Part of me wants to see if I can get OBD Fusion to work on it (I like it better than Torque), but I suspect that'll be a fruitless endeavor.

I'm still trying to get mine to work changed password and see it as obdll but it just says paired device disconnected. Any ideas? I have the fy Android same as joying I guess thanks

I have been struggling with this with my OBD Eleven by Voltas since I've had it. It will pair nicely with my Teclast T10 Master tablet and cheapie M706 tablet, as well as my ZTE Axon Elite mobile 'phone. I have changed the Joying to 1234 and it starts to pair then it pops up another window for 2 seconds before it disappears, not long enough to do anything.
Any ideas welcome. I have a Joying UK-JY-VM130N2D

Up. I'm also looking for the modified Torque.apk from older Joying ROM

SWM8802 Bluetooth settings missing

Hi,
I've just purchased one of these head units for my car. I can connect my phone to it via Bluetooth just fine for calls and music, but I want to connect the head unit to my ODB2 bluetooth dongle so that I can create a Torque dashboard for it.
However, when I go to the general settings, Wifi is listed but Bluetooth is not. I've searched and searched but there is no way for me to connect the head unit to a Bluetooth device. I've tried various third party apps that claim they are able to enable Bluetooth and connect to devices, but they all just seem to hang when I try to enable Bluetooth. Tried a system reset too, but that Bluetooth option is still missing from the settings menu.
Please can anyone help?
G

I'm also interested in knowing this. Torque doesn't seem to detect my bluetooth ELM327 at all. I also attempted to connect a USB-based ELM327 module, and Torque seems to detect it, but it doesn't work beyond that, and the headunit gives me a low-power warning light.

Hi did you get anywhere with this I have the same problem can't get Bluetooth options to show

I have exactly the same problem. I'm running a PX5 unit from Witson. Custom built for a Koleos. MCU is not a standard MTC device. I have no bluetooth option available in the settings and the stock bluetooth app does not display any search option whatsoever. It seems that it broadcasts itself for other devices to detect it but you can't search for devices. Seems like they may be handling the bluetooth via the MCU directly and not via android which is strange because they openly claimed that this device was compatible with the OBD II dongle that I purchased. They even shipped it in the same package. Will keep looking and post if I find anything.

I had the same problem with a different Chinese head unit. Solved by buying a WiFi ELM327 dongle which connected fine with the head unit's built-in WiFi.

Update to my earlier post...I managed to get mine working over BT with the WITSON unit. In the end I had to disconnect my phone completely and reboot the unit. Then I found a search option on the dialer page. Searching found the OBD II module and I was able to pair with it. After I was paired with it I was able to add my phone again and both can run in parallel. I have not been able to test much but it seems like this continues to work until the unit goes into a deep sleep and shows the startup logo again. If that happens then I need to go through the learning process again. Meh...

Hi friend, just a question, in the dialer where did you find the search option I cant find it in my android radio??

If you have the swm 8802 you cannot connect to obd2 this requires bluetooth 4 and the 8802only support bluetooth 2

Always Connect ODB First
The ODB readers are a tad picky but they connect using the same menus as any other BT hardware (headset, speaker, etc). First, turn on the car ignition, do not start.
2. Make sure no other BT equipment is connected to the head unit or even on & near by.
Next, place the head unit in searching/Discovery mode and then & only then plug the ELM BT Module into the car ODB II Port. Most cars must be 96 & newer. 95 GM with for the plug but won't work. They're usually ODB 1.5, don't ask, your screwed.
Finally wait for the module to pop up and ask for the code, it's 1234 not 0000.
After your paired, THEN open Torque and let it connect. Don't start the vehicle till the car icon stops flashing.
You should be good to go from then on. If you ever have problems after that. Make sure the app is totally closed, force stop and then follow this procedure again.

Mine connected no problem. Did it just like I do on my phone. I just got mine too though. Could be an update maybe

the original question wasn't answered and I have that problem too. I don't have a Bluetooth discovery/search option anywhere. the small bluetooth-like icon on the main panel just changes the color of the leds.
so can't connect new phone. although Bluetooth seems to be working, since an older phone, already paired, is still working.

Following this as my head unit is same. Theres no blietooth menu/option but it connects to a phone.
Ive tried a third party bluetooth manager but all that says is bluetooth disabled by admin??

A fix
That happened to me trying to add and ODB2 bt dongle. I had to use the app for bluetooth linking provided by the head unit. When I purchased the unit, I changed the bluetooth discovery and pairing code to 0000. Well, changing it to 1234 allowed me to add the ODB dongle.
I saw it on a YouTube video, and well, it worked for me. (And no, no native bluetooth option, came disabled for my unit as you said)
Hope it works for you too.

same problem with me
Hi sir did you found solution for this problem. I also have this problem with my native bluetooth. when i turn open system setting bluetooth missing. i try to open using shotcut and found shotcut to turn on bluetooth but when i turn on. it do nothing.
I can play music, make call using bluetooth app provide from head unit. Problem is i cant use it with OBD2 . same with your statement this bluetooth only stream signal to other. this Head unit cannot find other bluetooth.
Kindly please assist me. did this head unit still have hope to turn on native bluetooth or not. I still search many post regarding this issue. But issue bluetooth like this not many discussion.

Hello there,
My problem is some how different. My hu use the bluethoot to find the obd2 adapter but there is no dedicated pair button. I can pair my phone for calls and music but connecting from phone to hu.
My unit is a 8227l from seicane.
Has anyone any solution? Thank you!

Change the pair code in the bluetooth custom app provided, to 1234 and try again.

I had this happen and I think I figured it out.... in factory settings there's an option to choose bluetooth connect automatically or with pin. I checked with pin and was able to pair. I think the options are reversed in the settings

I have the same problem i can't connect to the android 7.1 car head unit any more , the bluetooth setting is missing , the wifi settings appear but bluetooth doesn't appear any more
Anyone can help me to fix this issue please ?

I bought a bluetooth usb adapter and I can't select it on the system. I think this would be the way out, but we need to replace the driver inside android. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a Teyes Spro with the same Bluetooth issues as most on this post describe. Did you find an answer to your usb adaptor to solve the Bluetooth problem? I was told to add a line to the config.txt file but cannot locate where to access that to add it.

Bought a Teyes Spro headunit and I have a problem with Bluetooth discovery on my obd II and tpms modules. Does anyone know what is in the "Developer" tab? It is password protected not accessible. The 168 factory access code does not work for it. Anyone know the password?

BMW E8x E9x CIC PX6 Android 10,25" trouble with bluetooth, idrive, display ect.

Hello guy`s
i have some issues with a 10.25" Android Navigation display i bought.
i also did some chat with the sellers but it seems their english is not very good...
From what i saw the system is the same PX6 System 2GB ram /32GB flash as sold for all other E Series BMW cars, only the additional mount is different.
Unfortunately i can`t attach pictures or extranal links yet, so i`m writing the Android spec here.
MCUVer: 023042bGS-CIC-HW7-190118[B1280_170325]
FrameworkVer: 8.1.0 OPM5.171019.019 eng.zxw.20181228.162012
AndroidVer: 8.1.0
AppVer: 2019030801_1280x480_970
Ram: 2G
1st "issue".
when booting the device it does display the Lockscreen, not directly the BMW GUI, i have to swipe to unlock the screen.
any way to change this to go directly into the GUI?
I haven`t found an option yet.
2nd. issue.
Bluetooth does not work like it`s meant to from an Android Device.
there is only a bluetooth menu at the BMW GUI, where i can search for Bluetooth devices and connect them.
the problem is now, it only does find other mobile phones, it does not find the original CIC, not a BT headset, also not a BT mouse or BT keyboard.
when i go to to normal android settings "connected devices" i don`t have an bluetooth option here.
the BMW configuration has set "WenqiangBC6" BT Module enabled.
I want to use an additional Tsumbay Ai01 controller, but i also can not connect this device.
is it possible to reenable the original Bluetooth option there, i think it only has been disabled ?
3rd issue.
It has been delivered with an additional "pseudo" Idrive controller that is directly connected to the Android screen.
the problem is, that the controller will always only work for about 30-60 seconds, then it will not respond anymore, i have to reconnect the controller to get it work for again 30-60 seconds.
does someone also has this controller and had such trouble , or a fix for this ?
4th "issue".
I`m using google maps as i lost the Igo Software because a "factory reset" has been made.
when doing navigation, half of the screen is consumed by grey (bottom) or green (top) surfaces including the Status bar.
is there any chance to change the visuals of google maps to look like Android Auto or at least to make the bars smaller oder disable automatically disable the status bar ?
i have found no option for this, also not for scaling, probably it`s also disabled ?
5th "issue".
the harness does have alot of "CAN" connectors, "CAN A" "CAN B" "CAN C" "CAN 1" "CAN 2".
there did came no description whith the device, does someone have a description of the harness ?
i already updated the cartype.xml and factory.xml to get ID6 back, but that does not help for the other issues.
i hope someone can help me at least with some of the issues
sincerely Chri

Hello
I was able to "solve" the 3rd issue, when the Android navigation is set between Car and original CIC-HU, the original CIC controller does work fine so the pseudo controller isn`t needed anymore
The only thing is that i found a new issue,
7th issue,
the Aux Autoswitch option does go to the wrong menu point.
so when selecting "Music" it does not switch to AUX.
I made a video to show the Start to unlock issue and the Auto AUX issue, maybe this will help
https ://youtu.be/ETWdRfly6PY
you need to remove the space after https
sincerely Chri

Hey Chris, I'm also Dutch and I'm seeing a lot of the same issues..
Doe you know the factory settings code to get in the factory menu?
Thanks!

Hi to all
I have the same unit i get it from AliExpress navifly
I had the same exact issues like chris i did a factory reset and eventually i lost everything i did something wrong and now i have the unit is infinite loading on android and it’s not turning on. I am wondering if someone can help me with this and by the way the factory reset code is 1314

Has anyone solved the bluetooth problem? I just want to load normal android on it to be honest. Their audio bluetooth and phone stuff is taking control somehow. I don't even care for it.

same problem with bootooth here. Not able to connect bluetooth device from other apps (OBD or Flitsmeister)

meanwhile it`s a known common thing that Bluetooth is locked on this devices so only smartphones for playing music and do handsfree calling is possible, it is not possible to add other bluetooth devices like OBD dongles, mouse, keyboard ect.

How do I get a Bluetooth OBDII scanner to pair on this Android 10 head unit?

I just bought this Android 10 head unit from eBay, which claims OBDII support, and even shows a ELM327 Bluetooth scanner in the description. I have that exact same scanner. Problem is, I have no idea how to connect it to this unit. The seller isn't helping. I think it's a language issue, because he keeps answering in ways that have noting to do with my question.
If I go to Bluetooth, there is no option to list Bluetooth devises. I can connect my phone via Bluetooth without any problems, because I do that on my phone's end first. But with the ELM327, I can't do that (there are no buttons on it, you just plug it in). I need to do it from the head unit first, but there is no options that I can see. I installed Torque, but it won't work without first pairing the ELM327.
I know the ELM327 works for a fact in my car's OBDII. The pull-down menu doesn't list Bluetooth devices either. If I go into Settings/Bluetooth, the only options are auto connect and auto answer. Is this an Android 10 problem? Am I over-looking something? Please help. I may have to return it for false advertising.

Try going into the extra settings with pin 8888 206 5678 and under one of the menus you can select other options to put on your menu screen. Look for obd and select that. You can then pair from this

How do you go into extra settings? I've looked everywhere, does it specifically say "extra settings"?
Could this menu be it?

The little settings cog on that screen. Press that and enter one of the codes. Probably 8888. In this menu you need to find the options to add to your menu screen. You need ‘obd’
That’s how I did it

I have a similar question as well, i have been in my extra settings and I cant find any bluetooth

If your referring to pairing to an obd device then you need to add ‘obd’ to your menu screen. I’m not sure which setting it’s under, if you have a look through you’ll find it

honestly I could careless about the odb2 I am just trying to connect different things to my unit, i tried headphones, odbii and the main thing I want connected is vero vn7500..its a ham radio

The question I think we should all be asking is, what version of Elm 327 does our head units require, and what version does our OBDii supply. Is it, ELM 327 V1.4, V1.5, V2.1, etc. I've read that V2.1 doesn't work well. Also, my phone uses BLE 4.0. That seems to work with my ELM 327 OBDII from Obdation. Here's a blog: https://blog.caristaapp.com/the-truth-about-obd-adapters-e98ddf022bf8 Both the article and the store I bought the elm 327 mini says something about Low Power. Well, the BLE 4.0 is Low Power. How can we determine if the Head unit, app and elm 327 supports low power or not?

That's not correct.
The truth about OBD adapters is not in that blog. These obd adapters are knock offs, using stolen IP/code.
The real issue is that the head unit resellers code code the units to require a specific obd knock off adapter that they sell.
New member, the information is covered in the forums, we can chose to read it, or not.

MarchNZ, thank you for your comment. I stand corrected. So, what's our recourse? Do we buy better products, root the device or give in to the cheap suppliers? While I've been researching the cause and fix of this problem, I went back to the supplier and asked how much their obdii adapter is. Honestly I bought an obdii from Obdation for $10. Bought the HU for $179 (dashradio on eBay). They want me to buy their obdii adapter for $69.00. The picture looks exactly the same. Have no way of knowing what's on their obdii. Is their away to see what's on it, like an Eprom reader or something?
Already ordered VieCar BlueTooth 4.0 Dual obdii adapter. My guess, which is probably pretty good, that won't work either. Thanks in advance for everyone's advice!

Genuine type OBD adapters exist, such as an OBDLINK type, SX = USB or LX = BT.
They may not work with cheap Chinese origin greybox Android head units without mods.
My unit is an MTCD type, using a USB OBDLink SX (USB), connects every-time and is blazing fast. The SX also works but is not as fast or reliable to connect.

Hi, merry christmas to all!
I have a similar problem.
I am trying to install a Android 10 10" radio in my car.
The seller (CN) has no idea (they only want to sell, my guess)
I can't get any OBD dongle paired with the radio.
I found the hidden settings for BT by using the search bar in settings,
I set the code from 0000 to 1234, also unmarked the "auto connect" so I get the code input requester.
But while I am typing in the code, it disapears and tells me, code is not correct.
You can try it as fast you want, also to the point you only have to klick "ok" --- but it will not work.
I also tried a USB keyboard, so that onscreen keyboard will not interrupt.
Didn't help.
I show it in the video
Does anyone an idea? A special App?
Why do they make it so hard? They know, that many people want to use the Android device like it is able as a phone or tablet, specialy in a car with a OBD2.
IMO that’s deliberate with a bad mind making it harder and harder to use and config a system.
Then we also don't need the Playstore anymore, just bloodware the derives and the user has to eat it like it is. We are closer and closer to this situations.
What do the developer think? ANdroid is gettig worse and worse in the free usability.
Btw. my dongels I own myself:
- KONNWEI KW902
- vgate iCar Pro OBD2 Bluetooth 4.0(BLE)
And they work with all phones, tablets, laptops - also with DDT4ALL and other programs with no problems.
THANKS!

but but only fakes to work. At the end it also doesn't work.

nobody an idea?

I used this
Bluetooth Pair - Apps on Google Play
Bluetooth pairing - automated. Simply turn on Bluetooth and connect!
play.google.com
Even though my car doesn't seem to be connected or at least doesn't show it in the bar the odb2 works with the torque pro app.
And the only way I could reach the Bluetooth settings was with a Menu entry in the fcc launchers settings...
But that didn't help either because I didn't even get a "enter pairing code" prompt.
maybe that helps too...
Fcc Car Launcher - Apps on Google Play
Car Launcher for Android Head Units, tablets and phones
play.google.com

Last week a friend was on visit, I tested his OBD dongle, that is an older version but worked!
I ordered the successor modell, https://www.pearl.de/a-NX3014-1523.shtml but it doesn't work...
I am getting mad with this ..........
These Apps also don't help in any way, as the system behind can't understand the dongles.
Is this the product of incompetence from the Android Developer or did the Chinese srew it up?

The little settings cog on that screen. Press that and enter one of the codes. Probably 8888. In this menu you need to find the options to add to your menu screen. You need ‘obd’
That’s how I did it

Thanks! This worked for me and I'd like to add on that I was not using the default launcher and the obd icon was not appearing. Switched back to the stock launcher and it was there.
