How to change the radio app on an Android head unit - Android Head-Units

I have bought a non branded Android head unit and would like to change the radio app cause it is way too colorful, I have no idea what as the to do and where to start if anyone can help. Thanks alot, also it looks like my head unit won't connect to my hotspot at all times, I have to turn WiFi off then on for it to work.

Anyone?

wolf1306, "non branded" does not say enough to be able to give an advice. Please post your device data which one can find under Settings -> About tablet (or alike).
As to WiFi hotspot - I had similar experience with Joying 4G/WiFi dongle. Replacing it with Huawei E8372 helped to completely forget about any problem (same SIM).

Android 4.4.4
Could cortex A9
GPU mali-400 mp4
1024x600

So it is not similar to Joying (Intel Atom x3) and using Joying's FWs and additional soft like Radio mods is, as I believe, unlikely. Hope other brand/make users could give further advice.

I have the same prpblem.
In my case the android head unit is a "non branded" chinese one.
- Model Number: AC 8227
- Android version: 5.1.1
- Kernel version: 3.4.35
- MCU version: IAP36/CM02.00.00.02_161223_15:24
As I have googled, tha radio app is linked with the MCU version. As far as I know, you must install a radio app that works with you MCU.
So it is not easy...
Anyone hace ideas?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Help with my Android Head Unit (update and video-issue)

After searching al lot on this forum I can't seem to get some answers (maybe because there is a LOT of info!) I am trying to identify my Android Headunit so I can make some changes. First of all some info about the unit:
I bought the unit half a year ago from aliexpress for a Suzuki Swift (>2011).
- Android 4.4.2 OS, HD 1024*600 Pixels Capacitive Screen.
- Cortex A9 Quad Core 1.6GHz CPU.
- DDR3 1GB RAM, 16GB NAND Flash.
- Built-in WiFi
Processor type: Quadcore-R16 1.6G
Android-versie: 4.4.2
MCU version: 5.3.17-1-10-610101-151112
System version: 4.5.3_20151027
DVD version: 2.13.15-860mc-150417
USB Debugging password protected password: "[email protected]".
Factory Reset / Developer Options password: "7890"
Extra Settings password: "123456"
I need help with 2 issues:
- I would like to update is to a newer OS. Is this possible?
- Since I have a pair of rear headrest monitors in my car, there is a second thing I would like to change. ONLY when I use the DVD function the external monitors get an videosignal. Usualy this is no problem because this way my kids can watch a movie and I can use the navigation app. BUT when I want to show them media from, for instance, youtube of a USB stick, there is no videosignal sent to the monitors and the can only view it on my headunit . Is there a way to cure this? Maybe a way to emulate the DVD function?
- Is there a way to change the current orange illumination colour? (anyone know if there are a lot of led's and if it's do-able to solder red ones instead?)
Ik really hope someone can help! Thanks in advance!

EINCAR head unit firmware

Hi all,
Just recently purchased this unit: EINCAR Android 10 single din (Model no on the box is HTT-AD9505) I would post a link but can't due to my post count!
The sole purpose of having the unit is for me to be able to view live data from my ECU via an app connected to the bluetooth module on the ECU. My issue is that I can only seem to connect to phones. The settings don't have the usual bluetooth settings options I am used to seeing in android settings, the only place you can access anything bluetooth related is in the units music or phone app. Is this likely to be by design with the firmware? Can I change the firmware to something different that can attach to any old bluetooth device?
The units about device page has the following info:
Android Version: 10
Hardware Info: Quad Core AllWinner - ROM 32GB - DDR3 1GB - 1024x600 - b2
Kernel Version: Linux 3.10.65 - Wed Jan 8 111:19:29 CST 2020
OS Version: HTTC0101-N78-2.4.4.3.12 - IVT - 200108
MCU Version: STM8-20200316-74-HHT-32
BT Version: 3A03
The app I am using is VEMs Display (vems.hu/android/) and the bluetooth device is communicating serial over bluetooth.
Thanks in advance for any help
After trying to install and run Bluetooth scanners, I now realize that the unit is blocking anything that isn’t the pre-installed bloatware from accessing Bluetooth. I now feel I have a giant paper weight!

we have same situation with same car radio and same BT problem, i ask everywhere without a valid answer.
maybe the only difference from us are:
2gb/32gb (instead 1/32in your device)
mcu: stm8-2019 (instead your 2020 in your device)
and maybe something else

PX5 MTCE Android 10 - WiFi Connectivity / Stability Issues

Hi All,
I'm bit new to the world of Android Head Unit who recently purchased a PX5 Android 10 head unit for my Peugeot 407.
After installation everything works fine expect for one problem. WiFi doesn't work.
If I turn ON the WiFi, it finds my network, connects to it, and then immediately the WiFi turns OFF. It keeps turning ON and OFF in loop.
So reached out to my seller who provided a firmware file using which I upgraded my unit successfully. But no luck. WiFi still has the same problem. It keeps turning ON and OFF in continuous loop.
Head Unit Specifications
Car: Peugeot 407
Unit: PX5
CPU: Octa-core Cortex-A53 @1.5G
Memory: 4GB
Storage: 64GB
MCU Version: MTCE_MX2_V3.60_1
Kernel Version: 4.19.111+
Build Number: rk368-userdebug 10 [email protected] eng.hct2.20200909.085823
Bluetooth Module: WQ_RF210 (as pre-selected in the Factory settings in the head unit)
I've attached a video of my symptoms as well. Please can you have a look and advise / point me in the right direction to fix this WiFi problem.
I spent time tracking down the seller for firmware update because I'm not sure how to identify the specific model / manufacturer etc of the unit.
Any advise on how to identify the finer details associated with the Head Unit Model would also be very helpful.
Thank you.

Did you check the wifi antenna?
I have a 407 - (2007) - does your head unit allow for aircon and heating/ventilation controls and all the canbus functions?
my orange dispaly is failing so thought I'd install one of these instead
Do you have a link for the one you bought? I've been looking for octacore - most are quad
Thanks
Found some interesting info here

I can't find my exact seller listing but below link is a similar eBay listing for the same model I have got.
Peugeot 407 Android 10 PX5 4-64
Yes, it integrates seamlessly with canbus / climate control etc. It comes with a canbus connector. There's an option to connect reverse camera if you want to. But you have to buy the reverse camera separately. Other than that there's a GPS antenna, built in and extra microphones for phone calls, memory card slot, USB slots etc.
I wouldn't recommend any sellers for this kind of after market head units as they are all sold / shipped by overseas / international sellers. There's always a risk with this type purchases. So proceed with caution. If you end up getting a good unit, the risk is well rewarded. Your Pegueot gets a major upgrade.
All the best!
Thanks!
I've been looking at these ones.
Still undecided
Might just get a new mfd screen & keep using my phone!

Have you guys found any solutions to your canbus problems with Peugeot 407? I lost my automatic headlights / daylights which I'd love to have back. Have you encountered and solved other issues with Android head units?
I can't either enable some car functions from car app from head unit (automatic lights, rear wiper, parking radar etc.). Can you see the outside / inside temperatures of the car somewhere? My A/C works somehow (responses like it should to physical buttons, but I bet it has mechanical faults instead communication problems with head unit).

Hello there,
See this workaround.
Custom ROMs such as @Hal9k_ 's Mod V5 have workarounds for this under Mod settings. In that ROM, go to Mod settings, select "Hardware settings" and toggle on the "Reset USB devices when booting or waking up".

Unknown Android headunit. Who helps?

Hi guys,
I have owned different MTCD headunits (all px 3/5).
For my new car I ordered a 64/4 headunit but it seems like it's a different chipset etc.
As I have a few problems with is and the seller isn't respnding (yet) I'll hope you can help me identify the unit so I can update firmware/mcu etc
Cons:
Biggest issue: GPS is not working. Because of that the time and date are off. If adjusting it manually it stays on the time and date from where the unit gets to sleepmode and won't adjust untill manual adjustment.
I have a annoying humming sound in the OEM subwoofer. It wasn't there with the Kenwood headunit that was installed before this one. Still can't solve it. It also humms when the RCA aren't attached so it seems a power input issue to the amp of the subwoofer. Still figuring out what to do about it.
Pros:
It seems to have wireless Android Auto besides wireless Carplay. It was not advertised but when I put on my hotspot from my mobile, it autostarts Android Auto on the headunit. Very nice!
Bought on Hipzo store (Aliexpress).
CPU INFO: UIS8581A (Octa 1.6GHZ)
MCU: 2021.12.10 15:04:26 NOR_53_L6315_G23P48F64_V:1.0
Android 11 (not sure, seems like Android 10 because of buildnumber)
buildnumber: QP1A.190711.020
System info: APP 1024x600 2021-12-11
Any help is appreciated.
Hello,
Could you share the findings about this head unit?
I have the same head unit, except for CPU and display resolution. I am still trying to understand what is the version which is compatible with this head unit.
Any info is well appreciated.

Confirming Head Unit Type

Hey all, I installed an Inav Android 10 unit on my BMW. Just wondering how I can confirm the unit type, as I see there are many sub forums here and want to make sure I post in the correct one. I looked through the settings on the unit and all I see is:
MCU Version: I believe this is the version for my OEM radio interfacing, in my case NBT.
APP Ver: Begins with Ksw-Q
Model: says msm8953 for arm64 I know this is the chip version in the unit.
Not sure where else to look. I am looking to upgrade my Zlink to the latest version for my unit, and also try to restore the bluetooth functions as it has been crippled by the manufacturer of the unit, and i have trouble connecting the wireless carplay and getting sound out properly.
