Ford Focus Mk3 - Recommended Headunit RNS - Android Head-Units

Hello everyone,
i have a 2013 Ford Focus Mk3 with Sync 1 - and the Sync 1 System sucks!
So i want to buy a RNS with Android that fits my needs.
I have PDC in Front and Back and the Sony Premium Sound System with Subwoofer.
Anyone knows a Headunit wich supports this? Both Parking Sensors Front and Back and connecting the Ford Sub Woofer? Thats the Minimum that has to work.
Sync isnt a Must and the Automatic Parking Assistent also not.
Anyone that has expierience with a Ford Focus Mk3 HU and working fine Can Bus Stuff?
Thanks!!
Christoph

You have to ask sellers to confirm the features covered by the can bus

Hi i have a ford fiesta 2013 and i got a px5 from ali express and it cam with the canbus prity much plug n play aswell it build to fit all original buttons work even steringwheel control still get access to sync if you want to but i agree it sucks so i dont use it but also can access hill start and that so you can enable a dissable normal car function to door sensors and reverse sensors work they pop up on screen exactly like original so my best guess is if you got one for the focus all functions will work hope this helps

Another image so you get what i mean

Hey, i also have a Focus MK3 (ST 2013) and a few weeks ago i put out the Sony-Radio (8Speakers without Subwoofer) and changed to a "tesla-style headunit" from phoenixandroidradio.com . The Sync-Module is still connected and you can deside using Sync-Bluetooth oder Headunit Bluetooth. As factory-microphone has much better quality than the build-in, i phone via sync, rest of entertainment via Tesly-style headunit
I only have rear PDC and it works over canbus with sound and radar-image. Don't know, if front PDC and factory Subwoofer will work, i do have an active subwoofer put in my trunk and it works via rca-cable and remote-signal.
As mentioned above, please contact the reseller and ask to confirm the features.

I've only seen the Windows CE units supporting the auto park feature.
SWC work for me, open door indicators, music control, parking radar for rear sensors works for me. I don't have all the features you have so can't comment on those.
You do need to connect an external mic as it doesn't use your cars one. No connectors for the glovebox USB/aux port so that doesn't work anymore.
Never had sync on my Focus 3 but from what I've seen it is supported.

On my unit theres a setting called parking assist if thats the feature your looking for

Any opinion about RUISO ??? Thanks !

i would go for the tesla style if i buy a new one again. the angel of the screen is little annoying regarding the sun.

Was that a typo that you would go for the tesla style? Asking because i am considering buying one and am concerned about the screenangle in a focus mk3 2013.

Has anyone looked into the Ownice C600 tesla style head unit?

It looks interesting. But I am a little worried to take a dive. Anyone with experience?

New Android 7.1.1 PX3 Unit from BonRoad - Any Info or Feedback?

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...32699671881.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.KbDCzA
The UI and other specs are very similar to the HotAudio test preview (thread here). Has anyone had a chance to get their hands on one of these yet? I'm deciding between this or a Joying unit.
Any input is appreciated!
PX3 RK3188 Android 7.1.1 DVD VW GPS 2G ram
Just received and installed this Head unit in my vw touran 2004.
It looks like the specifications are the same : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Pure...32582906631.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.UFTkAD
The unit is a Bonroad C1120801A4/A5 (RK3188 Android 7.1.1 Lecteur DVD de Voiture pour Octavia Fabia Praktik EOS GPS Navigation Avec 1024*600 HD 8 "
So far, i'm satisfied with the unit :
- Radio is now working and stable .RDS works fine (with the last DCMU update). (You need to put a double fakkra antenna plug to get the radio stable on vw cars)
- GPS IGo is fine but not in French, Waze great
- canbus is functional
- Wifi rear camera ok
- BT external micro (mono) installed, i need to shout/YELL (it is an issue...)
When calling, both mic works (front mic and ext. roof mic)
google voice research unusable
I'm waiting for documentation from the supplier as there were no instructions in the box.
Do not hesitate, if you need more informations, pictures and tests. :good:
I tried Kingo root but it failed.
I also bought a car radio on aliexpress similar to yours. Px3 cortex a9 for ford focus c-max.
I have exactly the same worries as you with the microphone, the one integrated in the facade I have to stick my mouth on and scream.
The one who plugs externally is the same thing.
Many people talk about a worry with frequencies that are not the same in china and here
300-3400 for china
50-7400 for others
If you can root your device you can change the frequencies with Pimp my rom.
Personally I can not root it.
Thanks for the feedback. What's the boot time on this thing? Does it have a sleep function similar to Joying units?

About 15 to 20 seconds to boot. For sleep functions, I have nightlight or 15s 30s 1mns ect ...
I've the same unit but it doesn't detect OBDII adapter. Any solution?
After trying everything to get the microphone that works for the handsfree kit, I decided to cut the 4th leg of the bluetooth module and solder a mono microphone directly on it. This was my last option because I did not have the c32 connector. This has been a success. People hear me very well now.
I have ordered this one - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-C...32691433062.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.MbBrvn. Waiting for the the item to arrive. The seller would ship it on 17 July 2017 (Monday).

Can you try the following and see if this gives you root access:
Goto factory settings and instead of typing 126 type *#hct#root#
This may give you temporary root access. Now you can install supersu or magisk to make the root permanent.
Note: I don't have this device or have not used any other Android HU; so I have not tried the steps mentioned above. I found this on the internet. Please try and let us know the result.

Is your Bluetooth scanning OBDII with this ROM ?

i tried your password to root but it does not work

Anyone managed to fix the bad Bluetooth call quality? Any luck with getting root access?

Hello, I bought this unit, but the 9-inch model without buttons and I do not use the search for voice, the free hands works perfectly for me, but for voice searches they do not work with the internal or external microphone.
Nor can I get programs with self-starting like the Radardroid service start only with the start of the radio, I have to manually activate it at each radio start.
I also have no rear camera, only parking sensors, and every time I put the reverse gear turns off the screen and the voice of the radio to try to connect to the back camera even if I do not have it, this did not happen with my previous radio with android 4.4, only with this new one with android 7.1.2.

(1) In the "Shutdown delay when ACC is off" do you have a new option named "Auto Sleep"?
(2) What is the MCU version you have?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, I can not find the "Autosleep" option. My MCU is MTCD_XRC_V2.44_1

Well you're right, if I have the auto sleep option enabled, but programs like Radardroid can not start automatically with the radio, I always have to start them manually.
Hi everyone!
I have a similar unit.
I think that the problem is with android version. In our case 7.1.1.
I had a problem with my OBDII reader and I updated my unit to 7.1.2 and fix it
Now with 7.1.2 I have the same problem with microphone and also I have a problem with USB cameras. Only the DVR app can connect with but only the first time. If I close the DVR app and open it again, camera dont work.
I want to use the USB front camera with Mapillary and iOnRoad but I cant.
Any idea?
Where can I donwload a previos android version? for example 5.1.1 or 6 perhaps its would fix the problems.
Thanks!
I've had a Hizpo 7" no dvd with buttons mcu xrc 2.54 android 7.1.2 2gb 16gb for a week. Came this way so I can't say about previous versions.
My bluetooth microphones (both) work fine for me, calls hear me fine. Even just the internal mic seems good.
I haven't had any bluetooth connection problems.
Android does not see any microphone, there is no speech input in keyboard settings, google voice search hears nothing. Voice recorder apps hear nothing.
Tried a usb mic but that did nothing.
Can't get usb camera to work for DVR. RCA CVI cam works in DVR but doesn't record, does not work in FCAM app however, though rear does.
OBDII worked fine when I first tried it, haven't messed with it since.
Display clear and good.
Haven't seen any bog, even when running nav, audio, video etc.
Audio is so so, lots of noise. Radio reception seems great and RDS works too. Needs an amp.
Wifi reception is great, just a little antenna on the back.
I really like it but for the lack of voice search. It's really fast, I have a load of apps and still tons of space. Runs everything so far.
Nearly instant on, radio is playing in under 2 sec (probably 1).
GPS works good so far, finds my location in maybe 10 sec or less usually. I haven't been thru Pittsburgh yet to say how well it keep its signal.
I just got MTCtools and dialer and will start messing with them tomorrow, hopefully I can get a mic input to android and get voice working, then this will be really great!

bmw f30 android 7.1.x head units

Hi,
I am trying to buy an android head unit from aliexpress for my bmw f30 2013. Very few sellers answer questions and not to the point.
e.g.
1) does it supports after market front camera through RCA input and how easy is to select it? (e.g. does it appear automatically right after reverse gear)
2) does it support can bus messages or do I need a can bus converter. I have already tried 2 multimedia interfaces (IW06B-N23 and QHI-BM12) but they dont trigger the camera. So how to be sure that the same will not happen with the android head unit
3) which MCU is used in order to see if I will be able to find updated firmware on xda forum
4) will I hear oem radio during google maps navigation (hearing also google maps directions)
5) will it connect automatically to my iphone hotspot for internet
6) will it work for iphone 11.2 mirroring
7) will it show perfectly the oem screen
8) would I be able to use steering wheel controls for bluetooth and which bluetooth will I be able to use? the OEM one or the Android one?
9) would I be able to use idrive in google maps
All of the above I believe are very basic information that you cannot get from sellers. I dont understand how they sell or I am missing something here.
Is there anyone here with similar problems so we can help each other?
Regards,
Mike
With a name like Mike, you're maybe English or American? I really suggest buying locally. You'll pay £/$30 more but you'll get a warranty and protection from your local trading laws. Buying from China is a game of Russian roulette. I bought an Erisin from China before and it was absolutely fine. Lucky that, because one I bought from England was not fine, and I had to return it. Had it been the other way round, I'd have been in a world of trouble and £100+ down the ****ter.

On mine, there's a setting for it to switch back to the front camera after the rear camera has been operating.

It will come with a canbus decoder unit. Any unit worth it's salt will work correctly with your PDC system. Mine does.
3) which MCU is used in order to see if I will be able to find updated firmware on xda forum
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
MCU is not important. It's the brand that puts out firmware updates. Xtrons, Joying and Eonon have fairly solid reputations for their updates. Xtrons have put out 5 so far for my unit. Erisin have a fairly flakey reputation. The rest are going to be a complete gamble and more likely you'll lose.
4) will I hear oem radio during google maps navigation (hearing also google maps directions)

OEM radio? You're removing the OEM radio and replacing it with this. If you mean will you hear the radio and maps, yes, the maps software dips the volume in a very polite way
5) will it connect automatically to my iphone hotspot for internet

Firstly, sack off the iPhone, it's crap and there's so many things you can do with Android that work with this unit (mine triggers the hotspot on and off when i get in and out of the car). In answer to your question, yes, you can connect it to your hotspot.

You're mixing two entirely different software packages up here.
To conclude, if your car has iDrive. I wouldn't go anywhere near one of these systems, it'll be a ****ing minefield making it work. If yours is non iDrive, like mine, then it'll fit perfectly with no issues
Thank you for the supplied information. I am from Greece/EU and locally there are no such products.
Chinese solutions for BMW F30 are mainly changing only the screen (which is detachable) and the new one includes all the features inside the screen, so the main OEM function remain in-place.
I would take a look at xtrons as I have seen various posts here and they have a decent website hoping to receive updates but I dont know yet if they have an EU warehouse because import taxes is my country are very high. My concern stays for idrive and canbus integration mainly because I have already tested 2 other types of interface and non of them worked.
Lets see if xtrons will reply on aliexpress with more to the point questions!

Your car has iDrive? Be very careful. Those systems are so much more complicated. The reason the non-iDrive works is because it's actually still a simple system. It's just a whole bunch of relays triggered by other relays and a few more relays and then somewhere there's a computer that does it all. iDrive has it's own dedicated computer which does so much more and offers so much more functionality, and that's where you might find problems. Getting those two systems integrated could be an absolute minefield.

Not sure if you are still around or found more info but the above posts are incorrect. The unit you are buying is more than likely the 10.25 screen upgrade with Android built in. It will work in tandem with idrive....everything works and it is easy install and upgrade.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-...00a8-4760-8b00-b2efeaa2fb7e&priceBeautifyAB=0
So a stupid question, it seems there are several Chinese companies that sell these 10.25" Android panels for the F30 BMW. Though the interface looks exactly the same despite who made the tablet, is there really a difference in the ROM image between makes? The one I have is from COG Android (atleast that is what the Bluetooth ID says). I have had in other cars Joying and ITOPWay, are they really something different ( I almost suspect they are the same company)?

Mitsubishi Outlander 2gen (2010-2012) with rockfordfossgate w/sub MMCS w/rear cam

Hi
I have a Mitsubishi outlander 2011 with rockfordfossgate MMCS system and rear view cam.
I have now installed a Dasaita PX5 Octa Core 64 bit 4gb Ram 32 G rom with Android 8.0 I am currentely using Hal9K rom version 3.1.2 works great
I have got everything working, rear view camera (had to solder a bit to get the original camera to work.)
All speakers with sub working, with the original amplifier.
But i can't fade/balance speakers, don't know if thats posible to fix?
Tone controll working fine.
But i am missing some featurers, I am not sure if it is possible to get it to work?
In my MMCS unit i had the opportunity to change car settings "see attachments".
Like how the wipers shall act and things like that.
I also hade speed signal and fule consumption information.
Not sure if the canbus for my dasaita support this?
In the factorysettings on my dasaita i have choosen canbus (111 Mitsubishi pajero&outlander%asx&lancer(simple)
Steering whell controlls working fine, when i put the car in revers i get the rearview camera and that is working fine.
I have see people talking about car_info app, vehicle.apk and controllinfo apps, this are apps working in the background like the rearview camera app right?.
But i get no icons for this apps on my head unit, and nothing in extra menu or car setting menu.
I do not get any signal when opening doors og changing temperatur on the AC and things like that.
So my question is simple, is there any way for me on my car to get the opertunity to change the settings link a was able to do in the original MMCS unit?
In the MMCS hadde an "equpment" meny, that i do not have now. I also like for information like speed signal, doors opening and things like that be poping up on the unit.
Or is this settning for the equipment and speed signa, doors just not supportet with my canbus decoder?
Is there any other way to get to this equpment setting in my car without installing the original MMCS unit?
Mayby with ODB2 or something like that?

I have 2008 Pajero Exceed.. whilst older than yours.
It doesn't have the extra menu controls you're also missing
I was looking at a system fully installed Extnix $600
But didn't follow through.
They advised me everything would work including amp -EXCEPT the fade/balance, so it might be a bit more embedded into the Mitsubishi system and missing from alternative head units ?
I'm really interested for this topic. I have a Mitsubishi Outlander and it would be great if I could still have stock MMCS settings on an aftermarket android unit.

Yes, I do have a gps unit. But if I install an aftermarket android unit I will loose all stock mitsubishi car settings like remote car pre-heating, consumption information as well as other important car settings .

Best headunit (Subaru Legacy IV)

Hi everyone,
My name is Max and today I bricked my headunit Nothing fancy because it was 8227l_demo with 2gb/32gb. I'm looking for the best android headunit for now. Size 9". Android 9.1/10 + DSP. Can you all recommend something for me? TEYES CC2 Plus is a good one?

Depends on your budget. I would start with Rockchip PX6, PX5 or PX3. Just make sure it's a MTCx unit (so MCU type starts with letters MTC)

I just took delivery of one. (3/ 32GB)
Seems very well made. According to most YouTube videos I've seen in general, it is as fast as you need it to be, no bad signs of lag and of course if you're using a phone hotspot also depends on your WiFi. It will do me TBH vs. another sim card bill.
Audio quality is reportedly a plus too (which is important obviously)
I seen 2gb units with preloaded apps loading nicely, playing USB HD video files, GPS maps.
Pic is of unit inside Astra Mk6 OEM fascia fitting you get a GM canbus decoder and another speaker unit for indicators door open warning sounds.
I suppose like most gadgets any cons will be personal and appear after spending time with it.
I will report again after I install it after holidays. I botched a couple of photo uploads. If anyone needs any pics let me know. Merry Christmas Folks.
I have to say it's a neat little device with surprisingly decent A/V quality.
All the usual apps Spotify, Netflix, Prime, YouTube work perfectly.
Just connect your Google acc for most direct main app settings.
(If Google is not a preference, Admittedly I'm not surprised)
I have all connections in place, incl. 8pin CANbus but unfortunately the CANbus decoder is not sending a signal to the CC2 plus unit.
It's a Raise RSC and a guy on YouTube told me he got a Raise RZS which works fine.
(Seller said there is NO Raise RZS only RZC)
I'm disappointed as I've said it's a good unit and a working CANbus would have been icing on the cake as I get no reaction from cd 400 control button panel, Steering wheel controls, Door open warnings, A/C display etc.
I can't think where I go from here except try a different decoder. It's a decent probability I have a non working CANbus. And I've tried a lot of attempting to connect it.
EDIT Feb 2021: CANbus issue resolved.
There was a very slightly misaligned pin in the CANbus decoder connection zone
(zone c on CC2plus)
So I straightened it as best as I thought, connected 8 pin connection from loom and now it all works fine.
Incl; Door open warning s - Original cd400 unit fascia buttons / Steering Wheel buttons - A/C display etc. So happy days.

Android Head Unit lost rear parking sensor sound

Hi Since fitting myself an android Head unit we have lost the rear parking sensors

The link above is the one we bought , we didnt buy the rear camera as we thought the rear sensors would still work .
My question is this ...........is it possible to have the sensors working with the head unit at all or do we have to buy a rear camera .If we buy a rear camera do we just then get an image on the head unit but no sound from the parking sensors ? . If truth told i would sooner have the beeping from the sensors .
Bare in mind im no electrician and dont have a clue .But it is in and fitted and working on sygic satnav and i have installed DAB radio via a dongle to the cars own built in antenna not the packaged kit one that comes with the DAB usb dongle .
Im sort of bodging my way through it but the sensors look a step to far and an auto electrician is needed but i want to know if it is possible to do .
The car is a Ford Focus 1.0 petrol ecoboost 2012 reg hatch .
The sensors must have worked either through the stereo unit or the old display unit not sure which , i have connected up all the original possible connections from the car to the new ones for the android device but there is no joy so something is missing .
What does the reseller suggest when contacted for support? Has that been tried and what was the result?
Suggest consulting a reputable installer first.
