Hi Guys,
I am very new to using android car stereo and would love some assistance. I bought a Android 4.4 Quad Core Double 2Din Car Stereo DVD Player Radion GPS Navi Wifi OBD and had it installed in my 2009 Toyota Ipsum vehicle; all features work except for the Barasoft Navigator however, I have been having this problem where the radio freezes on the Android start screen when the car is switched on. It does not move from there unless I press and hold the power button for a few second then it powers down and I press it again for it to turn back on. Sometime I have to do this several times before the radio gets pass the android screen.
The other issue is with the Barasoft Igo navigator, I installed a map and everything however, whenever I open the navigator and click on map it says no streets found nearby.
I would love if anyone could assist me with these problems please.
The model number is 121895317249

Hi guys,
I have just purchased Xtorns TCD618 with Android 7.1, I then purchased the igo NextGen maps (igo Basar 9.18.27.736574)
Maps installed perfectly and runs ok however I am having issues with Sound.
No matter what I do, I do not get any sound from the Speakers.
The music does go down when ""i believe maps will be talking", I haven't installed the unit in car yet and only testing it in simulation mode.
I have checked all sys.txt files / ini file and all have volume to 255. Unit settings are to allow "intelligent sounds", Map sounds to front or all speakers, and Navi volume set higher than radio.
I had 100% working version on my older unit igo-9.6.2.636868 on my Mazda however that version does not support 1024 x 600 screens so can not work on TCD618.
any help will be appreciated.
Same problem on Chinese Car head units, with all iGO version. The Nextgen kill radio app when I hear sound of the iGO...
Hi All,
I'm about to attempt to upgrade my Harley RoadGlide's radio.
REEAALLLY like the fact that it will be a all-in-one solution (GPS/Radio etc)
Here is the plan:
Joying 8.8" 4gb /32gb Android 8 unit
Adaptor for 1 DIN radio ( Harley factory is a off the wall size more like a 1-1/2 DIN )
Module to retain handlebar controls (Works like a steering one)
Marine amp (with the remote power on a manual switch so I can shut the speakers off)
Bluetooth transmitter to send music to headset if needed
Before anybody points out the obvious, yes I know the unit is not marine grade..
This leads me the my first question:
How much heat does the display generate?
I was thinking on taking the bezel off, wrapping the whole back in vinyl up and over the edge of the glass and then putting the bezel back on. This would seal the display part since there is not reset/mic/pwr holes in the glass..
Mating the display with the body will be thru a custom device with seals to prevent water getting in at the connectors.
As for the "main" body it is pretty much protected being in the fairing. I will need a heatsink/fan but I think it will be ok.
Now on the operational question:
Can a bluetooth headset be connected directly to the unit? (For listening to music)
Any tips/advice?
Anybody ever done this?
Thanks !
Ok.. just ordered the 8.8" single din 4gb model.
Was 25% off. Black Friday sale. What can go wrong ??
Good thing about that model is that it is solid glass.. no reset/mic holes.. should make it easier to weatherproof.
The fun will begin when the unit gets here.
Lots of config/testing to do before I shoehorn that puppy in the bike.
I'll post pics if people are interested.
Been testing a couple of GPS apps on my tablet right now ahead of the integration and so far Sygic and Osmand are the best I found. Following a preplanned route is a must( ie to not deviate from the plan) , so if anybody has insight please point me in the right direction ?
Patiently awaiting the arrival of the unit...
The beast is here!!
Just received my unit ?
Got to say it is very well packaged
Will setup and start the testing soon.
Stoked!!!!!
Update/ Questions
Hi All,
Well.. the testing is going well.
So far i am able to get all my music audio to the Bluetooth headset by using a transmitter connected to the RCA output.
I had to use an external USB power for the dongle because the transmitter is "recognized" as a USB keyboard by Joying
I am using the soft button on the unit to turn the amp on/off when I want to use the headset.
I am able to use ZLink as well to connect the phone to the unit.
To have the headset capability for phone, I need to have the headset paired with the headset first.
Then I connect the phone to the unit using ZLink/Android Auto on 1 USB input
I can use the radio's display to control the phone and make calls.
All audio/mic is done by the headset. Yeah!
Only 1 problem.. The Joying keeps on wanting to connect Bluetooth to the phone.. Pops a request every so often..
Any way of turning this off? Only happens when Zlink is active...
If I connect the radio to the phone, it kicks the headset off...
Any way to disable Bluetooth entirely on the unit?
Unit is now rooted and I have installed JET.
Waiting for my handlebar controls converter in order to test "steering" functions.
Cheers!

Can't you do that from the settings? Simply switch off Bluetooth?
Or is that when Joying keeps nagging to switch on Bluetooth? ("wanting to connect" can mean to connect because BT is active, or first wanting to switch it on and then connect)
I tried..
The Zlink app automatically turns bluetooth on I believe.
The bluetooth is off in my Joying settings.
It only happens when the Zlink window is "active"
So when I first connect I press cancel on my phone when the request comes in.
All good until I minimize the windows then re-activate it. Then another request comes in from the Joying unit...
I tried to disable the bluetooth in the app settings and Zlink refuses to open.
There is no "access to bluetooth" in the Zlink app settings..
Really more of an annoyance then anything else as I can just cancel the request...
Would really be nice to have some decent bluetooth settings on the unit to be able to connect any devices or change settings.
Or have some ZLink settings to not start bluetooth on demand since it's already been taken care of by the headset...
Thanks for the suggestion
Cheers,
Problem solved! Android Auto using headset instead of Radio for audio
Hi have solved the problem of Bluetooth wanting to connect all the time.
Solution: First time the popup comes in on the phone when connecting USB to the radio (I used Headunit Reloaded but ZLink should be the same), accept and enter proper password (0000)
Once connected, on the phone Bluetooth settings change Joying Radio to No Phone, No Media.
The next time it will not ask to connect and won't kick out the other Bluetooth (Headset)
Android Auto has to be in developers mode to not care which Bluetooth it is using:
To enable it, open the Android Auto app on your phone and choose About from the left menu. Tap the About Android Auto header text about 10 times and you'll see a prompt to enable developer options. Accept it, then hit the three-dot Menu button and choose Developer settings-> Application mode "Developer"
On to the next challenge!
Cheers!
This sounds interesting. Any pics on the install?
Yes pics please, what are doing are weather proofing the head unit or are you a fair weather rider
So I purchased this head unit
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8-8-NAVI...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
i also picked up the dab and the carplay/android auto dongle(this is a must other wise it is mirroring and that does not allow touch control on screen or allow you to lock your phone like aa does)
The fitting was easy and all plug and play (did not fit the camera yet)
So how did it peform?
When they supplied the head unit the software which was needed to use the android auto was not installed(link which was cam up with not licensed) and way installed AutoPlayBox and connected fine and works a treat
Good points
Andoid auto works just plug in phone and after a short 30 secs delay the HU boots fine and goes into AA quite quickly.
The android seem quick and not laggy
There is a EQ on the HU but if you turn it up to far it distorts all the audio really badly. but turned up to 4-6 it plays very well with lots of presets.
talks to can bus so you can see your speed / rev / mpg etc etc#
Can get back to the bmw main menu really easy and back to android
Wish i had not bought the dab receiver as i am playing via tuned in or amazon music through AA
Now here are the bad points(NOW BE AWARE I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEVICE WHEN RUNNING ANDROID AUTO IT WORKS VERY WELL)
Bad points
DID NOT COME WITH ANY INSTRUCTIONS IN THE BOX , HAD TO GO FIND THEM ONLINE
the dab app is terrible it plays but you press back or try and start another app with audio ie maps , and it crashes
If selecting navigation from the main menu it kept minimizing all the time (seems to have stopped today so fingers crossed).
the music app built into to interface is lets say terrible, cannot find a way play play lists , stop and start the music etc etc.
The device some time starts with the bmw screen instead on the android screen(no brainer to swop it back over ) just a pain
the wifi on the device is truly bad, sat in the car with my phone on my knee , my phone gets 4 bars , the head unit cannot even get a signal, putting my phone on hotspot and sitting it right above the HU is the only way for me to get a wifi signal (but using only android auto from my phone so no great loss)
the gps puck they supply is quite bad ( i use lots of gps pucks for small models) it seems to want to fix and unfix position all time not very good quality i would say
Would i purchase again
yes i would
but would not buy the dab receiver and would not fit the gps on the HU (even though it come with it as a waste if your using carplay or Andoid auto)
its was easy to fit which was good and works well
Hi, can you please provide me the link for the autoplaybox app as I can’t find it online
Thanks
Greetings, I'm a mercedes sprinter Delivery driver. I switched My head unit for a big 9" android unit because I mostly only need it for android auto.
As far as I understand the processing power in Android auto comes from the phone not the radio so radio only acts as a screen.
I need to use a *autokit USB adapter * to use Android auto which is Ok for me. The problem is, that when I'm in android auto and change the volume my active subwoofer connected via rca turns down 50 % volume and stays there until I restart the unit. That makes it not usable.
If I use Bluetooth Audi from phone and the installed Google maps app it's kinda slow. Calculating a route takes up to a minute. Any ideas for me!? Or did I just buy crap.. The screen size would be so awesome (oh and also screen resolution in Android auto is a bit wired but ok
Hello, after many month of thinking what to put in my car, I decided not to risk with ones straight from china , even though they have a great design , their prices went quite up. So I bought one from my country which again is Chinese but has 2 years warranty. It has the following specs: Android 11 - octa-core CPU, 4 GB RAM, 64GB ROM, RDS, DSP, CARPLAY . A decent launcher design. After I had it put in my car there are some problems of course...
First of all my dashboard became Chinese , secondly the steering wheel controls don't work. I searched for information and found that I can go in factory settings and change the can bus software or something. I found out I can get in these settings with the password 3368 . And there are many types of CAN BUS settings. Around 5-6 have Opel Insignia . So far I tried 3 and it doesn't work - it doesn't prompt me to reboot but I do it anyway. Also in the navigation "car settings" it just seems like it doesn't talk with the car at all. At least I got to put the Opel logo for boot up animation.
Climate control works from the old knobs , and does not visualize on the screen - this is not really a problem for me but still wonder why doesn't it work. Also i got a OBD II dongle which lights up when i plug it in and the navi Bluetooth finds it , but i cant connect to it - it wants a passcode and 0000,8888,3368 don't work .
Now for what DOES work - the new rearview camera starts when I put it in reverse , but the lines don't bend. Music comes out of the speakers . Blinkers and hazards and chimes have e new bad sounding beep , but at least there is some communication with the car. Sport and Tour buttons work ! The mechanics which put in the new unit took out the whole cd changer , I don't know why and if it was necessary and if it is a problem. Park assist also work and the button but it also has changed chime sounds.
When i contacted the sellers they told me they just sell, and don't know much about installations.. they told me its model is just "8581" not really helpful like the Chinese supports which i expected to avoid.
Any help will be greatly appreciated !! Mainly i want to fix my dashboard to be in English again(when the battery disconnects and the computer resets , it usually goes back in German, never Chinese) And the other thing is to get the steering wheel buttons to work and along with it to have more communication between the car and the navigation unit.
Try reading forums and posting what has been tried, or at least try to figure out what the unit is

I found those. But it helps me in no way.
The problem was a wrong connection on one of the many cables . Now everything works , and im quite happy with the unit. I dont know in what standby mode it stays but it boots up for seconds, another 5 seconds for the wireless car play and the music starts automatically from Spotify and the maps are ready to navigate. My car leveled up
