Hi, just brought my mum a Eonon GA1312 Android head unit, I've set the majority of it up and brought a lifetime service for Sygic Navigation for offline maps, it seems when playing the radio the directions on the GPS being said sounds like its coming out of a separate speaker or something, this applies to both Google Maps and Sygic, I highly doubt the directional commands aren't coming from a separate speaker, but the volume is absolutely dreadful, you can literally just hear it, I haven't tested this head unit properly yet but I've heard the directions speak out a lot louder while dimming the background music of Spotify, can anyone help me with this problem? I don't want my mum not to be able to listen to the radio while using the GPS Navigation just because we can't hear it. Thank you.
Same problem whit mm y MTCD 3188 and sygic. Sygic nav volume really low. Did I have to mix something in factory setting voice?
same.. does anyone have a solution please?
the head unit have no sense if we can use android app...

I'm hoping I can get some answers here about this. I have a Kenwood bluetooth head unit in my truck. I like to use S Voice to text, play music and other stuff without touching the phone while driving.
My issue is if Bluetooth is on and if I say Hi Galaxy then say Play Music it acts if it doesn't hear me. If I turn off bluetooth connection between the Note 3 and head unit then say Hi Galaxy then play music it hears me fine and plays music.
I was thinking maybe the mic pickup wasn't cranked up enough to hear me on the head unit. On my head unit I have a setting for Mic Gain. Is this suppose to increase sensitivity for the mic to hear more clearly? It was set to 0 but I cranked it up to +8 and then tried it again with no result.
On the sound bars, below the microphone button on the S Voice, if sound is picked up it will move up. It never moved so it's not hearing me. Now if I banged on the top of my dash with my fist the sound bars move and shows it is picking up sound but it has to be a loud bang to a point I feel like I'm gonna cracked my dash if I keep on doing that.
I can't tell if the issue is my head unit or the phone itself. Bluetooth volume is cranked to the max on the phone.
Do bluetooth head units have built in microphones? I would think they do otherwise it would be a pointless head unit and pointless to have call button functions on the head unit.
Anybody have suggestions?

Nevermind. After looking over the manual to my head unit I somehow skimmed over the microphone part even though it came with the head unit. I have no clue why I didn't attach it and understand the point for it was to communicate hands free or else the person would not hear me.
Had to take the unit out and install it and it works perfectly now.

Hi there,
Since this is my first post i want to say hello to everyone!
I decided 3 weeks ago to buy an android head unit for my audi a3, since i was bored listening radio or audio cd;s only...
Audi OEM RNS-E navigation was an option but it's too expensive just to have navigation, bt, and mp3 in my car... so i decided to go for an android hu that fits my dash...
I found this Xtrons android HU and bought it....
I was aware about the poor sound quality BUT it's actually VER VERY bad!!! on standard 10 speakers Audi sound system... (i was ready to root the device and use viper4android, or any hardware mod to improve the sound)
BUT I was lucky to find a BOSE sound system which i retrofitted on my car, and now the sound it's much better... like 8/10
NOW the last problem that i'm facing is some background noise, which i can't explain where it came from.
It only happen when i plug in the xtrons head unit. I swapped to the original Audi HU and there is no background noise. This means the background noise is picked up / generated by the Xtrons HU.
The noise is like a continuous "buzz" plus 2-3 pops and it only appears when the unit is on pause, mute or very low volume AND ONLY WHEN I SWITCH THE IGNITION ON (NO ENGINE RUNNING), if i revers the ignition to 0 position the noise disappears.
If the engine is running the noise is there, but is very hard to hear due to the diesel engine...
This noise IS NOT a wining noise, like an alternator generated...
Anyone encounter this problem? Is there any fix?
Tomorrow i am going to replace all the Xtrons HU extension cables (audio/video in/out) with shielded cables, and if doesn't work, i'll try some ferrite(s) maybe it helps...
Thanks!

I have that problem with my Erisin, too. Curious whether your new cables will solve the noise problem. Please post it here, if it worked out :good:

Hey you. Did the new cables solve the problem? I'm asking because I want to get rid of the annoying sound, too.

It's a pity ?
Did you also try a noise suppressor or something like that?

Hey,
Has anyone found solution to this annoying noise ? I have installed XTRONS unit in my audi a3 and can't get rid of it. Have tried already ground loop isolators and ferrite filters with no luck.
Hey guys,
Ive recently delved in to installing a 2 din unit into my Peugeot 307, and after searching for whats available and many youtube reviews, i settled on the Panlelo PA09YZ16. However, after litereally 1-2 days, issues started to occur, and ive been searching these forums for either fixes, or alternative units. (the capacitive buttons stopped working, spotify wont play in background, overall unit it sluggish).
So id like some advice on a new unit.
Would need:
7 Inch screen
Spotify playing in background, while using google maps
Next/Previous track control in spotify with steering wheel control
Physical buttons, not capacitive
Budget is up to £200 GBP
Any recomendations?
EDIT: I dont mind capacitive buttons, as long as they actually work. Just a preference to a volume knob.
Also, bonus points if its Amazon Prime eligible (not a necessity, i just want something that works and meets my requirements)

Thats actually a nice looking unit! Wish the screen was a little bigger, and dont care for a CD/DVD drive, thanks!
Any other suggestions welcome.
Tried some of the launchers, and allsorts of the apps people have created to try get the steering wheel controls working, and none of them are working at all on my current Panlelo unit.
Can anybody recommend just a 7 inch screen unit, which will 100% just allow me to control spotify with steering wheel controls, in the background while using google maps?
I see a lot of talk about the Sofia Joying units, will these work?
Hey guys, the Joying units seems fairly well received on these forums, and it would seem people have been getting the Steering Wheel Controls working fine.
Can anybody confirm whether the steering controls work fine with spotify?
Also, whats the major differences between these units?
https://www.carjoying.co.uk/android...uble-din.html?dir=asc&order=price
All seem great, but any reason to not get the cheapest one there?
I have had multiple Joying devices, they seem to be moving from the Intel platform back to the MTCD.
Their latest would be MTCD PX5. My intel was awesome, but it died. They ran pretty hot and a lot of people had issues with the dying after a year or so. In Joyings defense, they did send a replacement
Hi All - I've had a Joying Sofia 3GR head unit since March 2017. I need to replace it. I currently have a 2008 Nissan 350Z without Bose or navigation, if this helps in the discussion. I like, but certainly do not love my Sofia unit, overall the experience has gotten far, far too frustrating not to replace this head unit. So here's what I do not like about the unit, and what I'd like to fix with new hardware.
1 - Right off the bat, the unit doesn't fit into any double-din dash kits I have found for this car. I've tried Metra and Scosche kits for the 350z, and the unit is a few mm too wide and too tall for it. Given the way the Z's center stack is designed, going with a unit where the display sticks out and is wider and taller than double-din likely won't work as I only have about 10mm of wiggle room before it touches the HVAC controls or prevents me from opening the center console compartment.
2 - I'm looking for a new unit with capacitive or no buttons. My Joying unit's NAVI button mechanism has failed, so it's stuck in. In addition, the volume encoder randomly adjusts the volume without me touching it. I'll be driving and all of a sudden the volume rises quickly and drastically, I can't have that obviously, it's too large of a distraction. Ideally, I'd like to get my factory steering wheel volume controls back. This has proven difficult as the standard aftermarket steering wheel control modules in the industry are frustrating and there's little documentation about it at all, and I don't believe my car has a CANbus or anything similar. I don't want to stick a BT remote on the wheel, that's silly.
3 - GPS randomly dies completely and bringing it back is luck of the draw. If I go into the Car Settings app or any GPS utility app, it cannot reach satellites. Ever. I've tried a reboot, I've tried manual A-GPS refreshes, I've tried making sure the date/time is correct, I've tried factory resetting it. Nothing, absolutely nothing fixes it with consistency, factory resets have gotten it back sometimes, but not always, and not currently. I guess this could be hardware, I just don't know. Navigation is a big part of why I decided to get one of these units in the first place.
4 - Poor performance. I'm trying to have to interact with the unit as little as possible. I'd like to be able to quickly set the music I want to hear, or the navigation destination of my choice, and have it work as reasonably well as say, my phone does. Currently, the Sofia unit hiccups, gets stuck, crashes, sound glitches, etc often. Usually at least once a day.
5 - Poor sound quality. It just doesn't sound as good as my factory CD player did. Not even close. I was able to get it sounding great with Viper4Android, but that takes up too much CPU headroom, so everything else will glitch, heat up, etc so it's not viable. Also since the 6.0 update, I can't use the EQ function in Viper, which is a large reason of why I was able to get it sounding good previously.
Does anyone have an Android unit that they love, and that actually works with consistency?
I wrote up a review here [Review] ATOTO A6 Install in Subaru WRX, but the bottom line is that i'm happy with ATOTO A6 Pro. I wont repeat the details here, but it addresses most of your needs and I was able to get the steering wheel controls working in my older car.
I ordered a PX6 4 /64 GB (MTCE_CHS) head unit with 720 p display and Android 9 for my Mercedes-Benz W211. I found a seller at AliExpress with great reviews so I felt safe to order from them.
This will be a short review which I hope can help someone who is looking for info before buying a Android Head unit, but I am also very thankful if someone has ideas how I can solve my problems.
Pros:
- Very sharp display with good viewing angles.
- Reverse cam works great in good lightning conditions.
- Fast startup from standby.
- Useful equalizer which makes it possible to get a great sound experience.
- Custom ROM, root, Tasker and FCC Launcher make it possible to customize the head unit in many ways.
- Very good GPS performance when connected to original powered GPS-antenna in car.
- Apple CarPlay works and looks generally very good, but has problems with sound mixing which makes it useless.
Cons:
- Handsfree sound quality sucks so much it's useless. Sound from the other persons is bad and they can't barely hear me. Tried with external microphone also.
- No auto brightness and max brightness is low in sunny conditions.
- General audio quality, there is constant background noise and interference from wifi, bluetooth and USB devices makes it worse.
- The head unit was supposed to be plug and play but I had to modify my car and use an dremel multi tool to cut the plastic in the car, which makes it difficult to go back to original head unit. This is normal according to seller but no info before buying.
- Android apps does not display well in a car head unit. Even when adjusting dpi it is difficult to find a good setting. Text and objects will be too small or too big, sometimes frustrating and dangerous to control music and navigation apps when driving.
- Android Auto is displayed in low resolution and looks bad, it also has problems with sound mixing which makes it useless.
- FM radio reception is bad, even though I use the original powered antenna in the car.
- General sound mixing problems in different apps.
- I had dust debris inside the display, which is visible with both display off and on.
Problems:
- I have an intermittent problem with a "popping" sound and at the same time the display goes to night mode for a second and reset the clock to 0:00. Tried to disable auto night mode in factory settings but no difference.
- Sometimes when opening a door or turning on the ignition there is a loud high pitch sound from the speakers, very uncomfortable, almost hurts the ears and scares the passengers.
- Sound mixing, when using Android Auto och Apple CarPlay, it will automatically lower music volume when giving navigation directions, but will not increase volume afterwards. So when you manually increase music volume again, next time the voice will be so high it almost destroy your speakers and ears. The navigation voice in Waze Android app gets cut 0,5 - 1,0 seconds to early.
When speaking to the seller they have problems understanding my issues, and just tell me to wait for MCU update (I already have the latest). Seems like they just want to delay so the time when it is possible to open a dispute will end.
What would you recommend me to do? Demand an exchange of my head unit and canbus decoder and hope it will solve the problems? Demand a refund and buy a Sony or Kenwood Android Auto / Apple CarPlay head unit?
Just accept the problems and issues and try to forget that I paid A LOT of money for the head unit and all the accessories?
There are dozens of different manufacturers and hardware types using PX6.
Post MCU type so people can know the manufacturer and type of unit being reviewed.

Sorry, it is a MTCE_CHS, I added the info to the first post.
I think that this highlights a general problem with the chinese android head units: They just aren't "consumer-ready". Don't get me wrong, they provide fantastic bang for your buck, but they all have their problems (many of which can be solved through help from this forum) and they all lack any decent support. Having said that, I also have a PX6 4G/64G unit in my car, and I just don't have any of the problems you mention. It's not without its annoyances, and I have had to work through several problems to get it sorted, but after just a few months I am very happy with what I have ended up with. The sound quality is fantastic to my untrained ears, and it all works fairly smoothly. I got a massive upgrade in functionality in my 21 year old car for not much money.
In your case, there seem to be too many problems that appear to be related to the hardware. I don't think that an MCU update is going to fix the issues that you list, and so If it were me, I would be returned the unit asap, and trying a different manufacturer, either another chinese manufacturer or one of the proven japanese manufacturers.
