I have installed an Andriod 4.2.2 Head unit in my 2013 dodge challenger, this is a unbranded unit,
I have been trying to get my SWC to work.
I can enter a "Factory settings menu" with the Password "126" this allowed me to change logo etc.
there are many options under canbus settings in this menu under "Applications"
Mine is currently set to jeep (union) there are other options ie jeep hiworld , Chrysler and many others.
I have searched for posts that explain these menu,s with no success.
My handbrake canbus radio interface works OK but not the SWC.
can I do any harm trying other settings?
The supplier of the radio just tells me to hook up key1 and key 2 wire and ground, however my radio installer
tells me these are only for resistive touch buttons.
The unit was supplied and installed with a canbus adaptor.
Can anyone help me or point me to a thread that explains this.
Thanks Mike
Its a HuiFei type unit (its not unbranded - there are about 10 brands), read the HuiFei thread.
Most steering controls work by sending a certain voltage down the wire that your head unit interprets. Like 160 mhz is play/pause while 190 mhz is volume up. (those numbers arent accurate, but you should get the jist). This type of controls is a direct analog type and what the chinese units use to intrepret your control data.
Some cars,I'm guessing yours is one of them, use a digital signal that can't be interpreted by the analog wires that come from harness. You'd need an SWC interface as a go between for your car and HU.

Or a CAN Bus adapter from the manufacturer of his unit. but as I said earlier all the info he needs is in the HuiFei thread . . .
Re Headunit
Thanks guys, so as I interpret this I need a further adaptor additional to the canbus adaptor supplied by the head unit manufacturer.
I would still be interested in finding an explaination of the factory settings menu ,the one you need the password to enter, as I can not find a post on this?
Hi everyone, I need help with my HU. I followed the factory guidance to set up the wiring and installation but my camera lines appears 90 degrees (from the left) instead of the center. I have tried mirroring, no luck. Please see picture. Can someone help me please.

Hello!
I have a very strange problem with my android radio in my 508. When I'm trying to connect it with delivered canbus decoder, it's simply not powering on. I tried various combinations with power supply to the unit but without positive result yet. The only way that turns my radio on is bypassing power supply of canbus box and conecting it directly to power in on the unit. I thought that maybe canbus decoder is defective, so I returned it to supplier and received new one...still no success. I have red many manuals and forums but I cannot find the answer how to power on the unit with canbus decoder. I really need it to be connected because I need steering wheel buttons and readings from car computer (like AC, fuel consumption etc.). I know that to maintain it, power supply must be connected to canbus decoder, which triggers signal to power on the unit. Somehow it just doesn't work. I measured voltage on power harness, there is a good reading. I have also readings on canL and canH line. Everything is good on input side to canbus, on output I have zero...just like canbus is not working.
My radio is 1din android 8 unit equipped with canbus decoder:
decoder: MH (PA-SS-05)20180402
SS-PA0503271018-2
For: Peugeot 2008
P/N 1801300412
Software: PSA V2.27 005BYPS
Unit: MCU version: MTCE_MX2_V2.83_1

Please guys help me out because I am fighting with this chinese **** almost 2 weeks now
Hi,
I know it's a long time since your post, but I just installed an Android Head unit in my Peugeot 508 with JBL Sound, and the decoder I received was one for Peugeot 407, maybe that's why it's not working?
Also I cannot see your photos, they are most likely not online anymore.

Hi
Did you find a solution for this issue.
Best regards

Hi,
I would like to install an Android head unit to replace the Swing car radio in my Skoda Octavia 2.
I hesitate between 3 models:
-LJHANG PX6 7" 4/32Go is PX6 a good choice compared PX5 ?
-ZNY PX5 8" 4/32Go PX5 but 8" screen
-SilverStrong PX5 8" 4/32Go with DSP , is DSP a good value ?
Thank you for your help.
After some reading online I choosed Eunavi-WG9018S model, you can find it on AliExpress.
I'm using it for almost a month now and it's plug and play with integrated canbus which works very good - a lot of car system information displayed + steering wheel controls and OEM parking sensors.
GPS is very accurate, I left the antenna in the dashboard behind the unit and no problem with the signal.
Audio is OK, I used mostly with Spotify and the sound is OK. Being Android we have a lot of option in matter of players and equilazers.
PS: I own an Passat B7, but both your and mine are VAG cars so the wiring is similar.
Hi,
On sunday i installed on my Octavia 2 an Isudar NA02A53VW0907 (PX5 4/43GB 9'' ) on Aliexpress store (11/11 Sale).
previously i own an Ownice C200, until this summer when the unit stop working, some overheat problem..
Base only on experience of these days, it's miles better than Ownice..
I need to find some calibration for colour, it's washed..

Hello,
I join your thread for my Skoda Yeti 2015.
@ludz179: did you find a head unit?
@aurelv: I'm interested by your Eunavi-WG9018S model. Did you confirm that all is working fine (OEM reverse sensor, steering wheel controls...)?
I have some other questions:
- did you know if FastBoot is supported?
- I don't see if SDcard slot is on front?
- what do you think about the quality of the screen (reflection, brightness ...)?
- how does it fit into the dashboard? Would you have a picture?
- do you face particular problems (bug, overheating, crash, reboot)?
Did you confirm that you have not added anything in the connectivity between the original socket and the one provided with the Eunavi?
I have this socket:

Car builtin display shows "mute" on audio menu after installing Android Unit.
I installed this radio, it works, steering wheel buttons work. Only thing is the display audio menu in the car shows "mute" regardless of what channel is in (FM1, FM2, DVD, AUX etc). The radio is not mute. The canbus decoder is connected. Any idea?

I had something similar a few days ago.
In my Joying I have with the steering wheel buttons in third party apps problem. Then I have to test the CAN BUS adapter infected by the Old Joying radio. After a After a restart I also had Audio Mute. However, the buttons and knobs on the radio were no longer synonymous.
In the radio app, I could not select a station.
Then I exchanged the CAN BUS adapter again and then it ran well.

Sorry but I don't think I understand what you are saying. Do you have a mercedes benz with cluster display that was showing mute or what? Also, you changed the can bus, you mean the canbus decoder or a setting in the radio? My unit doesn't have access to factory settings menu.

I have a VW and there I exchanged the canbus adapter. After that, I had the problem that I no longer had an audio output. Mute was displayed on the car radio with me.
Hi i purchased this unit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/[email protected]!!im
for my 2009 VW Multivan, The unit has the PX5 Software with Android 10 and i can't make it to display car information on the head unit, the steering wheel buttons are working fine also when i turn on the car lights, the unit also light's the buttons, meaning there is a CAN communication but i can't make it read information as doors, voltage, AC, etc.
I tried all the VW profiles at factory settings with no luck. Are there any suggestions of how to solve it?
Thanks

Sorry to say, but who told you that the car functions would work?
If I read the text at Ali, there is no single word written about car functions.
That what they offer is working... your steering wheel... nothing else did they offer...

Ok i see, would these functions work with a different canbus decoder?

In most cases the firmware needs to be developed to show the information as an overlay or pop up message.
May be there is someone here who has a VW which shows the information on the screen and you both can compare the content of the firmware and may be you are able to use another firmware from Joying on your unit.
I´m out here, because I don´t have a VW.
By the way...
As this unit is a PX5, you may be wrong in this forum.... May be post a picture of the "About Tablet" where we can see the MCU version of your unit.

@yprat
Well... I think you have one of these units you can´t change a lot.
There are some threads already open in this forum, so try to search for MF1-px5
Nothing I can support with this kind of unit.
Hello ,
First post , please could you help me identify my unit. I probably follow a well trodden path of buying from Aliexpress, not getting a lot of support from the seller and coming on here pleading for some advice!
I've got some minor Canbus and steering wheel control issues Im trying to solve so identifying the base unit will be a good start.
Unit is 6gb / 128 , on the rear is a HDMI and Optical audio ports alongside what looks like the usual Android Harness and various size white molex type plugs.
CPU-Z is telling me :
Model : msm8953 for arm64 (QZD_G1)
Manuf : QUALCOMM
Thats the Chip right? ( msm8953 = Qualcomm Snapdragon 625)
How do I find out what model head unit it is to direct my Q's to the right forum?

Main board inside the unit has this info
System Info from CPU-Z :
Here is the rear of the unit
Any help appreciated , thanks !
Fake Android 11 head unit from AliExpress... I'm shocked... shocked I tell you.
API level says 28, so it's actually running Android 9.
If CPU-Z is reading the hardware correctly, you only have 4GB of ram, not 6.
The CPU is correct as that's pretty much impossible to fake since the kernel needs accurate CPU information to work.
I really wouldn't trust most of that info though considering it thinks you have a 46" display with 32dpi resolution.
I wish you luck figuring out the rest.
I have a 14.4" unit (GT-6) in my F150, another Fake Android 11 unit that's actually running Android 10.
Difficult to root as they disabled all data access protocols on the USB ports and stripped away ADB over WiFi.
Thanks for the reply, my bad I've read so many posts I actually over-inflated my own ram , it was 4gb afterall and thats all I was expecting.
My main Q is how often these manufacturers wire the Can Hi/Lo direct into the unit as Im missing what I think is Key1 on the main head unit harness (no pin).
I've got ACC +12v , Reverse signals, but so far no ILLLUM (Lights) or SWC.

Some head units require an external CANBUS module. The one I have does.
