andriod head unit factory setting menu

I have installed an Andriod 4.2.2 Head unit in my 2013 dodge challenger, this is a unbranded unit,
I have been trying to get my SWC to work.
I can enter a "Factory settings menu" with the Password "126" this allowed me to change logo etc.
there are many options under canbus settings in this menu under "Applications"
Mine is currently set to jeep (union) there are other options ie jeep hiworld , Chrysler and many others.
I have searched for posts that explain these menu,s with no success.
My handbrake canbus radio interface works OK but not the SWC.
can I do any harm trying other settings?
The supplier of the radio just tells me to hook up key1 and key 2 wire and ground, however my radio installer
tells me these are only for resistive touch buttons.
The unit was supplied and installed with a canbus adaptor.
Can anyone help me or point me to a thread that explains this.
Thanks Mike

Its a HuiFei type unit (its not unbranded - there are about 10 brands), read the HuiFei thread.

Most steering controls work by sending a certain voltage down the wire that your head unit interprets. Like 160 mhz is play/pause while 190 mhz is volume up. (those numbers arent accurate, but you should get the jist). This type of controls is a direct analog type and what the chinese units use to intrepret your control data.
Some cars,I'm guessing yours is one of them, use a digital signal that can't be interpreted by the analog wires that come from harness. You'd need an SWC interface as a go between for your car and HU.

Or a CAN Bus adapter from the manufacturer of his unit. but as I said earlier all the info he needs is in the HuiFei thread . . .

Re Headunit
Thanks guys, so as I interpret this I need a further adaptor additional to the canbus adaptor supplied by the head unit manufacturer.
I would still be interested in finding an explaination of the factory settings menu ,the one you need the password to enter, as I can not find a post on this?

Hi everyone, I need help with my HU. I followed the factory guidance to set up the wiring and installation but my camera lines appears 90 degrees (from the left) instead of the center. I have tried mirroring, no luck. Please see picture. Can someone help me please.

New android head unit

Hi guys!
Finally it looks like I'm going to replace my car, and I'm going to take my a amplifier and components to a new car, but not the head unit. I'm seeking to buy a new android head unit, and found this one on eBay:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25369100...7d776fc1640a9cbe7502037fff88436&ul_noapp=true
The main issue is that unit should fit Volkswagen Jetta and should have pre out, so it will be connected to external amplifier.
What do you think about unit I mentioned above? Any other suggestions?
Thank you

I have one of the smartech ones from ali express which I am impressed with

Thanx for advice!
I see that all these units can be connected with standard connector (i think it calls ISO connector), and also there are RCA outputs. Are these RCA outputs come before the internal amplifier and can be connected to external amplifier?
Thank you

All units can use an external amplifier. all of them have RCA for this.
All the specialised units like volkswagen, mercedes come with Quad lock and not standard ISO tho.

so if i have VW, i must look for the HU compatible specifically with VW?

Hi guys!
I'm waking up my thread. Almost month ago i got this unit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-2-4G-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649, it should be (according to description) be compatible with my VW Jetta 2015. But once it was installed and connected it behaves little bit strange: all car info (such as doors status for example) and steering wheel control works till the engine starts. When engine was started all these things stopped shown and work. I checked that power cable is not connected, and the seller sent me a new CANBUS, but it still doesn't work. I will appreciate any help on this issue
Thank you

Solved - just used the canbus decoder from previous installed system

Android Head Unit choice for Skoda Octavia 2

Hi,
I would like to install an Android head unit to replace the Swing car radio in my Skoda Octavia 2.
I hesitate between 3 models:
-LJHANG PX6 7" 4/32Go is PX6 a good choice compared PX5 ?
-ZNY PX5 8" 4/32Go PX5 but 8" screen
-SilverStrong PX5 8" 4/32Go with DSP , is DSP a good value ?
Thank you for your help.

After some reading online I choosed Eunavi-WG9018S model, you can find it on AliExpress.
I'm using it for almost a month now and it's plug and play with integrated canbus which works very good - a lot of car system information displayed + steering wheel controls and OEM parking sensors.
GPS is very accurate, I left the antenna in the dashboard behind the unit and no problem with the signal.
Audio is OK, I used mostly with Spotify and the sound is OK. Being Android we have a lot of option in matter of players and equilazers.
PS: I own an Passat B7, but both your and mine are VAG cars so the wiring is similar.

Hi,
On sunday i installed on my Octavia 2 an Isudar NA02A53VW0907 (PX5 4/43GB 9'' ) on Aliexpress store (11/11 Sale).
previously i own an Ownice C200, until this summer when the unit stop working, some overheat problem..
Base only on experience of these days, it's miles better than Ownice..
I need to find some calibration for colour, it's washed..

Hello,
I join your thread for my Skoda Yeti 2015.
@ludz179: did you find a head unit?
@aurelv: I'm interested by your Eunavi-WG9018S model. Did you confirm that all is working fine (OEM reverse sensor, steering wheel controls...)?
I have some other questions:
- did you know if FastBoot is supported?
- I don't see if SDcard slot is on front?
- what do you think about the quality of the screen (reflection, brightness ...)?
- how does it fit into the dashboard? Would you have a picture?
- do you face particular problems (bug, overheating, crash, reboot)?
Did you confirm that you have not added anything in the connectivity between the original socket and the one provided with the Eunavi?
I have this socket:

VW 2009 Multivan canbus problem

Hi i purchased this unit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/[email protected]!!im
for my 2009 VW Multivan, The unit has the PX5 Software with Android 10 and i can't make it to display car information on the head unit, the steering wheel buttons are working fine also when i turn on the car lights, the unit also light's the buttons, meaning there is a CAN communication but i can't make it read information as doors, voltage, AC, etc.
I tried all the VW profiles at factory settings with no luck. Are there any suggestions of how to solve it?
Thanks

Sorry to say, but who told you that the car functions would work?
If I read the text at Ali, there is no single word written about car functions.
That what they offer is working... your steering wheel... nothing else did they offer...

Ok i see, would these functions work with a different canbus decoder?

In most cases the firmware needs to be developed to show the information as an overlay or pop up message.
May be there is someone here who has a VW which shows the information on the screen and you both can compare the content of the firmware and may be you are able to use another firmware from Joying on your unit.
I´m out here, because I don´t have a VW.

By the way...
As this unit is a PX5, you may be wrong in this forum.... May be post a picture of the "About Tablet" where we can see the MCU version of your unit.

Well... I think you have one of these units you can´t change a lot.
There are some threads already open in this forum, so try to search for MF1-px5
Nothing I can support with this kind of unit.

Help identifying unit

Hello ,
First post , please could you help me identify my unit. I probably follow a well trodden path of buying from Aliexpress, not getting a lot of support from the seller and coming on here pleading for some advice!
I've got some minor Canbus and steering wheel control issues Im trying to solve so identifying the base unit will be a good start.
Unit is 6gb / 128 , on the rear is a HDMI and Optical audio ports alongside what looks like the usual Android Harness and various size white molex type plugs.
CPU-Z is telling me :
Model : msm8953 for arm64 (QZD_G1)
Manuf : QUALCOMM
Thats the Chip right? ( msm8953 = Qualcomm Snapdragon 625)
How do I find out what model head unit it is to direct my Q's to the right forum?

Any help appreciated , thanks !

Fake Android 11 head unit from AliExpress... I'm shocked... shocked I tell you.
API level says 28, so it's actually running Android 9.
If CPU-Z is reading the hardware correctly, you only have 4GB of ram, not 6.
The CPU is correct as that's pretty much impossible to fake since the kernel needs accurate CPU information to work.
I really wouldn't trust most of that info though considering it thinks you have a 46" display with 32dpi resolution.
I wish you luck figuring out the rest.
I have a 14.4" unit (GT-6) in my F150, another Fake Android 11 unit that's actually running Android 10.
Difficult to root as they disabled all data access protocols on the USB ports and stripped away ADB over WiFi.

Thanks for the reply, my bad I've read so many posts I actually over-inflated my own ram , it was 4gb afterall and thats all I was expecting.
My main Q is how often these manufacturers wire the Can Hi/Lo direct into the unit as Im missing what I think is Key1 on the main head unit harness (no pin).
I've got ACC +12v , Reverse signals, but so far no ILLLUM (Lights) or SWC.

Some head units require an external CANBUS module. The one I have does.
