This unit is the same as pumpkin RQ0255 unit. There is more information available from their support page and is directly applicable to the Naviskauto unit you have.
I installed this unit with a Metra dash kit into a 2003 G35 Sedan with Steering wheel controls (kit required) / the stock Bose amplifier (audio interface kit required) / and reverse Cam. All the functions you want are available. I assume you want to connect iphone/ipad via bluetooth , it works but the bluetooth interface for music isn't great , and maybe a 3rd party app is available. There is an "IPOD" USB connection through a 30pin connector. (Overall, music quality is very good but not as good has name brand head units for USB/Bluetooth/Radio. ) I use an Iphone 4 as an Ipod over USB, but you should be able to use a lightning convertor cable and use newer iphones/ipods. The music interface is better on USB but still falls short if you're looking for iphone/ipad useability. You can connect the head unit to a wireless hotspot on iphone/ipad or any device with this function. You can also connect via USB to a 3G dongle but the supported devices are limited, (more reading for you.)
GPS works great and the iGo Navi app provided is really good and does not require an online connection. You may need to do some more reading to get maps / poi functioning to your needs depending on your location.
It's my first android head unit install and it was flawless for me. I invested lots of time reading to extract experience from this board and others I am generally familiar with car sound systems, electronics, soldering so I was just a matter of understanding the wiring interfaces for this unit, which are standard.
I'm a newbie on Android , so I'm not experimenting with ROMs yet but there is a ton of info on what is possible with mods and replacement apps for various functions.
so, bottom line, I give the unit a 8/10 overall, but the value for money from Amazon I give it 9/10.

I am considering installing a Joying Head unit in a BMW 118i 2008 car and know that interfaces are required to integrate Bluetooth and steering wheel controls, however after much research I can't any information about replacing the existing BMW Professional radio/CD unit which has a MOST bus fibre optic connection which communicates with other modules in the audio system.
Has anyone done a similar conversion and knows what is required to ensure that some existing features, such as parking sensor system, are retained?

Have you asked joying? [email protected]
(Make your mail simple as their English is not too good.)
I assume you also checked the BMW page on their site? It doesn't seem to mention a 118i
Thanks for that surfer63. Yes I have looked at the BMW page and also been in touch with Joying using the [email protected] address. I did get some advice from them, but it was a bit lacking in technical content. I will try the address you gave to see if I get a different response.
Since my original post I have checked out what I've actually got on the car using diagnostic software and the MOST fibre optic bus is only connected between the head unit and the CD Changer at the rear of the car. So as I'm not bothered about keeping the CD Changer I can probably bypass the MOST bus.
There are lots of interfaces on the market for after market head unit integration; most are quite expensive and don't go into much detail of how they work. What I would like to do is get relevant circuit diagram information, buy the separate parts and make up my own interface(s). So if anyone would like to share appropriate information or links in this respect I would be most grateful.
Hello everyone,
I am planing on inserting an Android 9.0 head unit with PX6 into my Merc CLK (209 series from 2004), but unfortunately Mercedes made damn sure to make life as unpleasant as possible if you want to tinker with their fibre optic D2B Bose System. So in order to get any sound with the built-in Bose speaker system you have to stick to their dated radio equipement with fibre optic capabilty. I don't wanna rip out the whole Bose System at this point and converter boxes only exist for M.O.S.T devices which followed after D2B. Fortunately you can modify their smallest D2B radio with an aftermarket Bluetooth chip and give it some modern day connectivity. And this is where my question comes into play:
Is it possible for those Android head units to send audio "outwards" via bluetooth ? The main idea is for the Unit to stream it's audio signal (like an ordinary phone or tablet) to the Merc Radio, which will be hidden in the glovebox, consequently acting as an "external bluetooth speaker".
And if it's not possible for the head unit to do so, can they be modified / adapted with a dongle, etc. of some sorts to transmit bluetooth? Creative constructive suggestions are very welcomed here. The ideal constellation would be in the end: Phone/OBD2-dongle/etc. connected to radio connected to Merc Radio Bluetooth receiver. So multiple bluetooth connections should co-exist at the same time.
I know I am probably asking for a lot here and I am of course willing to take cuts, so the most important feature would be for the Head unit to emit all its audio signals to the "Merc Radio bluetooth speaker".
So any pieces of advice from the experts here would be very much appreciated! :fingers-crossed:
Best regards,
Alan
Is the fibre optic system SPDIF / TOSLINK? There are head units that have SPDIF out (Joying, via Coax - but you can convert Coax to TOSLINK easily).
You can also get USB SPDIF but they seem hit or miss. Depends a lot on the version of Android you use, and some will not allow OS to control volume, etc.
To answer your original question - seems like my head unit only acts as a bluetooth server, not client. It cannot connect out as you are asking.
I am in a near-identical situation as you (2003 Sl55 with d2b Bose system). My current plan is to run the audio coming out of the android head unit into an RCA to AUX adaptor, which then plugs into the aux input on my command system. The command will be relocated to the boot and connected to the Bose amplifier over D2B.

Hi Rewen,
unfortunately no. It's a proprietary Mercedes System which was not Used anywhere else in that form (at least to my knowledge). It was changend to M.O.S.T in 2004/2005. So Support from third party developers is basically non existent. If you do research on that topic you usually come to the conclusion "stick with it or exchange the speakers, amps, radio....alltogether. It's not the best sounding system to be honest, but for now i don't want to put up with the hassle and the cost of a complete good quality car hifi system.
Thanks for you info, i guess this will account to probably all head units, so i will just stick to a transmitter dongle in the back of the head unit then. That should do the job.

Hi joe,
SL55? very nice choice!
After all my research so far i think the Aux cable / Bluetooth dongle method is the most "acceptable" solution for any D2B owner who wants to stick with the Bose system but also wants an android head unit. I was also thinking of just using an Aux cable (Have the Comand 2.0 with AUX), but i ran into a lot of interference noice with the cable, therefore i was driven away from that idea. That's why I will just get a used Audio 10 CD with D2B, modify it with bluetooth and replace my disc changer with it. This will hopefully spare me from running any cable through the car....(too lazy for that right now^^)
So several years ago I did a custom install on my 500 Abarth for an Ownice C500. I was happy with the sound and display clarity, but it hasn't aged well.
I need to find a replacement for it.
Problems it has:
1) GPS wanders and dances all over the place. Can no longer lock. I have changed the GPS dongle but it doesn't work.
2) Audio has developed a background whine.
3) It reboots randomly while driving. Didn't used to do this.
In my other car, I have a Joying unit that is mostly good but has its own issues.
REQUIREMENT 1: (non negotiable) is any replacement must have full OBD2 support, including support for a high rate OBD2 dongle such as the OBDLink MX/LX. Unfortunately the Joying devices won't work with these dongles because they use newer security than the older Chinese units. I have also experienced that even with the cheap Chinese OBD2 plugs you can get for $20, they don't connect consistently. This is the primary holdup for me upgrading, I don't want to waste my money on a unit that won't let me properly use Torque Pro.
REQUIREMENT 2: Must be able to have a proper AV-IN that allows me to switch to my car's bluetooth module for calls and bypass the radio completely other than speaker output. The Ownice C500 does this fine, but the Joying in my other car does not.
REQUIREMENT 3: No 800x600 units, needs to have a resolution that works properly with modern Android software.
Built-in Dashcam like the Joying is preferable.
Any suggestions?
Hi, you got your player ? also looking for player got full obd2 support.

Obd2 support depends on the adapter and application, not the headunit.

I afraid not that what happening to my case. My headunit wont connect to my obd2 but all my phones, tablets just work fine with the obd2 ?
All,
I have two of these in my commuter cars. (2007 Saturn Ion/2001 Impala)

I commute around 100 miles a day.
I have been pretty happy with these Binize especially for the price point. I have a rear camera on both.
I use it daily for GPS, radio, my playlist (on thumbdrive), and Podcasts (Stitcher). I expect them to be a low end GPS tablet with an amp and they do that. I also have a ELM327 and the Torque app installed on the head unit.
It took some trial and error to get everything setup software wise and I was meticulous on the wiring (soldered connections/heat wrap/full install kits etc.).
They have been installed for over a year now.
Anyways I have decent size fingers and the side of the screen volume can be tricky especially in the Saturn. So I picked up one of these;

The Remote Control unit pairs fine with my Samsung Note S10+ cell phone. It adjust my cell phones volume well and does what it should . The head unit under the Bluetooth icon under AGAMA sees the X09 Bluetooth device but does not Pair as my ELM327 does. I have deleted the ELM327 out of the Paired Devices to see if that is the issue but to no avail.
Is there any application I could download to see what is going on. Is this a issue with Android Head Units?
Are there better Remote Control Units out there to consider?
Also while we are discussing Android Head Units. What Applications or hardware do you have on yours that you find interesting?
Thanks
Chris
Included is what I am seeing...
I have same approach to those head units - low end tablet with BT, gps, mp3, video and reverse cam cappabilities.
But according to your problem with BT connection. Im not sure if bluetooth in those radios is fully functional as in other devices (for transmit files, tethering internet etc) or its just like head set - limited capability only to hands-free talk via cellphone.
But if you use it with ELM (or other CAN decoder), than it should work with SWC also...
Maybe try without Agama launher? Use stock software for test
I think that there are better options for steering wheel control. At the back of your radio there should be two additional wires, marked as KEY 1 & 2. They are designed to be used with resistance-based controls.
Do a refund with that you already have (with BT) and buy this:

or
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-...rand=Unbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
But before that make sure that you have key1 & key2 (or SWC 1 & 2,)
It also uses BT communication, but not this one in head unit. It has own BT module which you solder to harness and sends resistive signals via key 1&2 wires.
Personally I dont use wireless steering wheel control, but instead i bought controller like this

cheap, reliable, easy to install and doesnt require batteries to run.
If you need more buttons you can install the second on other side

I have a generic 9" Android Head Unit (K6_11_OH??) running Realdash app as a car dash board.
It works quite well using both of the USB ports for serial data (UART) and GPS input. Basically nothing else is required other than wifi to install head unit app
Main issue I have is the head unit re-assigns the USB COM ports each time it powers off and back on. This is annoying as I need to re-assign the dash app inputs every time I turn it of and back on.
Can anyone recommend a generic 9" head unit and chipset combo for the following: ??
- Easy to root
- Easy to customise ROM to strip unwanted apps and bloat
- Easy to customise Launcher / UI to remove (Dash app auto launches but not good if radio also tries to auto launch)
- USB ports enabled and easy to assign and access
- GPS
- Wifi
- 2GB RAM is sufficient
- No need for any other features that add cost such as high end music features (So relatively inexpensive)

There seems to be so many options, I don't want to make the same mistake and buy another one that is not well supported, which is why I asked here.
The one I have now has firmware with K6_11_OH and the last updates I could find was 28/06/2019 and it seems they we never very widely supported.
I had a head unit for my Mazda which is nice. I got it from Bestycar which has an SC7862 chipset which is great for normal music player but more advanced and does not seem as easy to customise and simplify like I want for the basic dashboard specific use for my project car.
So I assume one of the MTC units like a PX5 or PX6 chipset might be the best way to go now?
The dash has been built using a 9" unit this exact shape and I would rather keep this the same.

Don´t get your point...
You are searching for a good supported and quality head unit, right?
In this case you really should dive in at Joying for FYT units ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/fyt-android-head-units.12445/ ) or may be Klyde for CSN2/CSM4 units which are supported in this forum part.
At least you need to search for a unit specially for your car, or you need to search for a universal one with 2-DIN. Don´t ever buy a 1-DIN unit, as they all have severe issues with overheating if they are based on 6- or 8-core chipsets.
But by the way... the points you mentioned in your first posting... Sorry, but what do you expect to get?
I was expecting someone might say something like "UIS7862 head units seem to be the easiest to root hack and customise".
I don't actually want an expensive unit with heaps of great audio features as it is just a screen with 1 app and serial data feeds.
If I could get an Android tablet for 12V car use, with 2 x USB ports and completely raw Android ROM I'd be happy.
