Rebinding buttons on head unit? - Android Head-Units

Hi guys,
I recently bought and fit this: Pumpkin Android 4.4 Car DVD Player for VW Vehicles Quad Core 7 Inch Double DIN Supporting Mirro-link/3G/Wifi/GPS/Bluetooth ( I am unable to post the direct link)
I was wondering if you guys knew of a way to rebind the "seek" knob to next and previous track? as I would like a physical button/knob for it instead of using a touchscreen while driving.
Thanks.

Xtrons and Volvo

Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum. I know a bit about Volvo (the older ones!), and Volvo head units, but not about Chinese Android head units.
I’m considering replacing the aging head unit of my (also aging!) 2002 Volvo V70. The head unit is a simple HU 603, so no Dolby, center speaker or extra amplifier. I’m looking at Xtrons TA702P (quad core) or TB706PL (octa core). I prefer a 7 inch touch screen, no knobs, no DVD. But navi should be good, as would radio. Music I can play through usb. And my Elephone S7 (Android 7.1) phone should mirror on the unit if possible.
Other functions like back up camera or steering wheel control are not important to me.
I know how to take the HU 603 out. I know I need an adapter harness to connect with the new unit. And a fascia adapter. All that is available.
My questions:
Xtrons has many car/model specific head units (not for Volvo). They have Canbus decoders supplied with the unit. Not so for the TA702P or the TB706PL. Will that give problems? (The answer from the ebay seller is somewhat useless: ‘Both the TB706PL and the TL702P does not come with the canbus so that you just ignore it.’) Anyone has experience with this?
How are user experiences with these modern Xtrons units? I know, ‘you get what you pay for’, I know that. But still, worth the money?
Units from Kenwood or Pioneer are other options, but again, is it worth it?
Thanks!
Hi there
I own and drive a V70 from 2006. I have replaced the original HU with a SONY 2 DIN unit (XAV-V630BT). This unit has great sound. I also swapped the speakers to JBL. It is totally worth it.
I have a CANbus to resistor unit. This makes it possible to use the steering wheel buttons.
Right now i am testing a Android HU. Unfortunately i have bought the wrong one. The unit is full of bad design choices. The sound integration in the unit is bad. I think that radio, BLUETOOTH and AUX sound runs directly to the sound processor. This means that when the Android unit plays a sound, the sound from the other units are turned off. In my opinion the other source should just fade a little.

Hi there
As said, I don't need steering wheel controls, my steering wheel doesn't even have the buttons. Must have been a cheapskate first owner!
Does this mean the Canbus only affects steering wheel control? So ignoring Canbus (no resistor as in your case), will give no problems?
And yes, by now I've found out Android units may not have the best sound quality. Or radio reception.

Android Head Unit for Nissan Note (2009/2010)?

Hi guys,
I'm considering buying a Nissan Note (2009/2010) which comes with a Sat-Nav touchscreen.
I was wondering what the most appropriate Android head unit would be to buy that would be compatible with the Nissan Note and whether I can link it to be used by the steering wheel buttons and any existing sensors in the car that would normally be used through the touch screen.
Thanks in advance,

Advice on 3 head units

Hi,
We have 3 cars that presently have 3 old factory head units (one has a cassette!)
We have
1) a BMW E46 that ideally would take a single din unit (so we do ot have to buy a new aircon controller)
2) a Toyota mr2 spyder that has a 200mm x 100mm head unit (no steering wheel buttons) mounted down low
3) a 2008 Ford Transit van with a 6000CD player with steering wheel buttons
We would ideally like 3 units that all work the same (i.e. buttons in that same place)
We would like:
Sat nav
reversing camera WITH VIRTUALLY INSTANT ON AFTER HEAD UNIT POWERED ON
output for sub woofer / external amplifier
CAN ANYONE HELP?
Thanks in advance

PX6 with skip track/next track button or bluetooth remote?

Hi,
I have old cars without steering wheel stereo controls. But maybe some cheap new cars still don't have these, so some may relate.
Universal 2din Head units with px6 4gb and 7" screen (there would be space for more ) don't have skip track/next track button.
I also tried to find if there is way to use some Bluetooth remote with these units, but all info seems to be that it does not work.
I don't want to hard wire controls to steering wheel.
Is there some head unit that I missed? Is there a way to make bluetooth remotes work?
Maybe something with sc9853i has next track button?
BTW i found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wptzk5W6uxI - i did not know there were any px5 with matte screen!
