Why there is no RDS on Chinese head units? - Android Head-Units

Hello, I plan to buy Ownice C500, but there is something that always bothered me about these Chinese head units - why they say they have RDS support, but they can't show radio band names on UI? All they can show is the radio frequency. This is not only Ownice. I had WinCE 6.0 Hooligan head unit in my previous car and there was the same case - no radio band names! These Chinese people don't know what is RDS, or there is some difference in the Chinese RDS and US/European RDS? I can't get it.
P.S. Any chance to swap radio app with something that shows band names?

Do you have factory settings and see if you have RDS enabled

Try this one find out were your radio app is and put .old at the end ie .apk.old and rename this app the same as your own radio app.

Thanks. On the Hooligan head unit that I had before, there wasn't any RDS option in the settings, I've searched and I've read a lot if there is any chance of showing band names - turned out there was no chance. I still haven't bought the C500 yet. I just wanted to ask this question before I buy it. Because, maybe there is some other head unit with actual RDS support or maybe better radio app that shows band names. I still don't know where is exactly the problem - is it hardware, or software? Have you tried the app you gave me? Does it show band names?

Hello,
This sounds very interesting ..... what is the name of the Package to the default installed radio app that comes with Ownice C500.
I can not find anything that could possibly be the default Radio App
If this works with the QR Code you entered, you have solved a huge problem with the original Radio app can not display RDS station name.
It's probably many of us would be happy if this proplem could be solved.

The unit in the video doesn't look like a C500?

I don't own a ownice c500 you might find your radio app in system apps if so just rename this one to the same as yours. ALWAYS DO A BACKUP OF YOUR APP

RDS other radio apk
Hi Guys,
just wondering if anybody already tested to swap the radio apk which seems to provide full RDS functionality?
Dipa

there is RDS on the chinese units, you have to either swap the APK or talk to your vendor to update the radio APP.

Hi,
Simply use " App Backup & Restore " from Google play.
I use it before updating any app, you can Always go back. It's easy.

RDS success
I have a Chinese head unit with Allwinner T3 / Android 6 / 1024x600 / 2GB RAM / 16GB Flash.
I managed to turn on RDS by switching the radio region from USA to Europe. But the radio app is still crap, I don't like it. I tried the app from the post above, plus one another from Play, but none of them were working with the tuner. (probably different tuner chip?)
Does anyone have a suggestion for some good radio app that would work on this unit?

Is there any solution for RDS?

The Joying Sofia 3GR units now finally have RDS-txt in the last 2 ROMs. As SYU is the SOM and software supplier, I assume it will come to A-sure, witson and some of the other Sofia 3GR SYU brands as well.

How can i find RDS supported Radio.apk?

It completely depends on your head unit. Which brand and which chipset (PX3/PX5/Alwinner or Sofia 3GR) and manufacturer (MTC or SYU).
There is no universal radio app as radio components are NOT an integral part of the android layer.
They are specially made to work with the Android layer, and that depends per chipset and unit manufacturer.
Note that resellers like Joying, Dasaita, Witson, whatever are NOT manufacturers. They assemble the MTC or SYU SOMs and components and sell them.

DRS3 is the Stationname and the other "JORDAN" is from a titel of a song or a artist name.
Hmm.. i also get the station name as always but no chance to get title informations or any other things! And i know for sure that the station i´m listening to sends those infos..
RDS has always worked on my device, since stock 1.43.
Very exciting! previously he has nothing appears. no sender and no other texts. now he shows that in a lot of stations.
RDS has worked for station name for me since I got the phone, 1.43 I think it was

Joying JY-UMS01N2D Custom Malaysk Rom

Dear Forum
Afaik, Malaysk did some custom roms for different Joying HU devices.
I bought the JY-UMS01N2D (With the Mainboard FYT6021), Running on an Itel Sofia with Android 6 and the so called "digital amp".
Does anybody knows, if one of the existing custom roms from Malaysk fits for this unit?
btw: That's what Joying wrote to this topic "3) Please don't upgrade ROM from Malaysk on forum xda-developers or upgrade with other firmware which is not provided by Joying."
regards & many thanks
i dont believe there are any custom roms for the Intel units.

Some heavy progress is going on though. https://forum.carjoying.com/thread-1377-current-state-of-hackishness-.html Keep your eyes on it.
Hi,
thanks for the hint, I'll keep an eye on it.
Another question, maybe someone knows the answer;
-Does the standard iGO Nav works with the radio TMC? Or if not , would it work with hyperGPS or Omnia TMC?

All those nav apps use HD-Traffic or alikes via a WiFi/data connection. Not via TMC.

Hi surfer63
Would eventually hyperGPS or Omnia TMC be the solution?
It's a pitty, that the unit does not brings an ootb functionallity with it. In my case, I use it offline only.

Then the Dasaita is obviously not compatible. I assume it is totally built for Joying.
Did you try VLC?
Yes, I have VLC
I used to own a joying unit and really like their player, i wanted to see if i could install it on my new dasaita.
Thanks again

MEKEDE NaviFly M150 peugeot 308 RADIO Android9 Carinfo problem and MCU/ROM request

I've purchased this radio for my 2009 Peuget 308cc https://it.aliexpress.com/item/4000837909351.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.10dc1a96zV3PXG&algo_pvid=96f29c04-a7a0-46a5-9df0-00c71f5d29ca&algo_expid=96f29c04-a7a0-46a5-9df0-00c71f5d29ca-1&btsid=0ab50f6215981180996013653ee1bc&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
It is sold by NaviFly but I have discovered that it is produced by MEKEDE and it has a T3 P1 ARMv7-A cpu 2Gb ram 32 Gb rom and a PSA-RZ-15 raise canbus on board
The unit works quite well but I have a problem with the application that manages the car information and messages, it has no text translated into my language (Italian) and some things don't work.
I tried to decompile the app and modify the res file where the texts are inside, I recompiled it, signed and aligned but nothing does not let me install it on the radio while on my phone it does (Huawei P30 pro)
How can I do to translate the texts of the messages and make it work correctly?
Is it possible to enter other messages for other canbus functions, for example if I press the parking sensor deactivation activation key, can I view it?
Also where can I find MCU and ROM updates?
Thanks everyone for the support.

That app is installed as system app...
If rooted you can replace the old apk by the new on the corresponding folder....or use the titanium.backup app to uninstall and install thr system.app
But you need tr be rooted first

Fm radio app for mtk 8227l

Is there any fm radio app for this type of hu?
Stock app works fine but it has a problem...the skin is horrible!
I searched on the forum with no luck.
Thank you!
They are all mostly horrible. What does yours look like?
No way to save stations by name
My stock radio app has same basic display. But I can live with that. My only problem s that I cannot apply names to the stations. It just shows the frequency in the select buttons.
But I see some images of the same radio app (I think) that shows a storage position (P1, P2, P3 etc) next to the frequency .
Unfortunately I cannot find a way to adjust or save the station buttons.
All suggestions would be welcome and highly appreciated!!
