I had an issue connecting; however, found that it was a port problem. Switching the port fixed the issue.
Android Auto works fine on my 2016 VW Passat.

We're you able to get it working with the Accord? I'm thinking of getting this phone, but I need it to work with my Civic.
Also won't work with Chevy Mylink system. Huawei Mate 8 and Nexus 6P work fine, Pro3 does not. After connecting the phone, the car detects it and asks to connect, and when selecting yes, it return the car infotainment to what it was on (radio), and not the android auto screen. On the the phone there is an Android Auto notification, which cannot be clicked. The phone switches to a USB screen stating that it is in charge only mode.
Anyone have any steps to get around this.

Can you clarify the port change you made. Both my car and phone only have one port, so I am not sure what you mean by switching ports. Thanks.

VW has confirmed that my USB port is faulty and ordered a replacement. I have two USB ports in my car, the front one does not work properly, where as the rear one works just fine.
If your car recognizes your phone, your phone is charging, but not connecting, then, most likely, one of the pins of the USB port might be loose. Have your dealership check it.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the clarification, i understand, you are physically changing a port! I doubt this is the issue in my car, as the car is in regular use by many drivers. 3 other phones work. A nexus 5, a nexus 5x and a Nexus 6P. You can see apettern there on what phones we prefer! I am also currently trying the Huawei Mate 8 which also works. But the Le Pro3 (x727) fails every time. A bad port would likely not work or be intermittant on at least some of the other phones.
I did try other cables, including the one that came with the phone, no difference. Did your dealer let you plug into a car on the lot, to verify the phone will work?

No, I just started the issue and they were able to test for it.
Have you enabled USB debugging in dev options? Try disabling it, try MTP/PTP options while connecting. Also, try clearing data or reinstalling Android Auto or verify the app permissions.

I have a 2016 Civic Touring and my X727 works fine with Android Auto on it.
@Karthi14 I work for American Honda (HQ) and I can check regarding the 2016 Accord for you. What trim level do you have? I'll check on several trim levels with the DA audio to be sure.

Is it safe to assume that it will work with all 2016 Civic trims? I have an EX-L.
If it's compatible, I am going to get the X727 on Black Friday. Thanks in advance for the info.

It should work fine with that, and I'll check that civic trim today to be sure as well.
I'll keep you all posted in that.

Yeah, I think I have tried everything, which is why I decided to come over here to the smart folks for help. I enabled USB debugging, turned off battery optimization, checked all permissions. It is interesting that when it connects to the car USB port, the USB computer connection screen pops up, which is where you set MTP/PTP/Charge only, and it is set to charge only, and the options are grayed out, so I can't change them. With USB debugging enabled, it allows those to change, but it still makes no difference. It may be the combination of the Chevy AA implementation and the X727 ROM. It seems other users here are getting connected, so change the car it works. On my end, change the phone and it also works. Bummer. Will have to sell the Chevy or the phone. !!

I tried my phone on a 2016 Accord Touring: Android Auto worked fine.
Tried on 2016 Accord EX-L: Did not work. I tried all options on my phone; MTP, PTP, Charging, USB Debugging On/Off...No bueno. I'll look into any possible software updates for the audio unit and report back.
Tried on 2016 Civic EX-L: Android Auto works fine.
Looking into the Accord situation, I don't see any software updates for 2016 Accord. There are two different audio head unit part numbers used for 2016 Accord, both made by Clarion. The Touring, EX-L Navi & EX-L Navi V6 all use the same head unit. EX-L & EX-L V6 use a different head unit than the others. That may be the issue, but I don't know the root cause of the difference. Still looking into things.
Waiting for feedback from Clarion tech line rep at our offices in Ohio. I sent software version info for both units to him, so I'm waiting to see what he says.

There is a software update available for the audio head unit in your accord. I got the update file from our product development group here and I wish I could send it to you, but it's 19gb. Probably the best thing to do is go to your local honda dealer and have them update it for you. I imagine they would charge you for that, but I don't know for sure, and I don't know how much.
The update took about 30 minutes or so, and I can confirm my phone now works on it.
To summarize, my phone worked on our 16 Accord Touring and now the 16 EX-L after the update.
Hi Honda John,
I took my Honda 2016 Accord to the dealership, they said that they couldn't find any software update for the audio head unit in their system, could you please guide me towards my next steps?
thanks!
Ashmit
I factory reset my Honda Civics Bluetooth system and I can add my LEX727 to Android Auto now. It may also be because I'm on TARS ROM, but I never got that far before until I did the factory reset.

Which Honda dealer is it? I'll contact our Honda DPSM for your district and have them work with the dealer. According to our Product Development group, the update files are available on the server, but at this point an official Service Bulletin hasn't been published directing the dealer to look for the update. it's supposed to be coming out soon, but no specific date.
I'll keep you posted in it...

Hi John,
Thank you for getting back at me. My dealership is Valley Honda in Naperville, IL. They said that they weren't able to find any softwares in the bulletin, and my Car's software said that it was most updated one. I would appreciate if you could contact the DPSM and share with him about the issue.
I am still under 15 days of purchasing this phone, so I have the opportunity to return the device, if this does not get figured out. I need android auto for navigation as I am seriously direction impaired
I really appreciate your help!
Thanks,

I'm waiting for an answer from the person responsible for software updates to see if the newest version is available to the dealers yet. He's at Honda‘s R&D in Ohio. I should head back by tomorrow.

Sounds good! The person at honda said that they would like to know where the files are, if they are in the server, which server they are.. I will inbox you the name of the person I have been talking to.

Hi Ashmit, the Clarion engineer told me the update will probably be released by the end of this year, or early next year. Evidently, Honda will send each dealer two thumb drives when the service bulletins (one for Pilot, one for Accord) are published.
Unfortunately I think that's outside of your phone return window. If you'd still like to PM the name & number of the person you've been talking to, I'll give them a call & explain the situation.
I'm sorry it's not better news.
I just installed a joying JY-UO138P4 (https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-l...ouble-din-car-audio-system-with-4gb-32gb.html ) in a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix.
Most things work - I am still working out the steering wheel control wiring with Metra Axxess and Joying - I think this is an issue with Metra identifying the car correctly, I had a similar problem with an older metra unit on a Sony receiver.
One thing that doesn't work is accessing google voice services when I click on the microphone, I get a message 'Cannot reach google at the moment'. I am connected via wifi and can open the Chrome browser and get to google. All other internet access I tested works fine as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
p.s. I'll probably have other questions on improving the UI - would like a better blue tooth phone client, and something better with the radio.

Search the forum. This has been mentioned several times. Google voice currently doesn't work. Joying is working on it.
A lot of us have questions and remarks on the UI, on a lot of aspects, and on the functionality. Most/some of us are already pushing Joying 2 years for improvements. Some improvements and bug fixes came, others not.
Please help pushing by directly mailing to Joying ([email protected]) about your comments and questions, but don't think you're the first.
You don't mention your issues with the Radio, but if it is about layout: see here.
Those radio mods are made for the Sofia units, but work just as well on your type of PX5. I'm using one of them (and the PX5 models ending on P2 or P4 can use the exact same software)

Thanks for responding, I did find a rom on their site (have the link on my home machine) , not sure it is for these devices, just says for 2gb/4gb 16gb/32gb Octacore, but from the looks of it, it is an AOSP build.
After trying an older 'personal assistant' app AVX Extreme, I found out the google speech to text module is missing. - this thread (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/Gu8c8JLMo6w) shows that it is not part of AOSP, so if we can figure out how to get the speech to text module installed, I think it will work.
As for the Radio, it is a layout thing, it is not a bad layout, but I feel it could be better somehow. I'd like to find a launcher that supports the OBD-II input for speed/etc, a nice clock, radio/volume control, and navigation
I see you also have a thread on the 8.0 build so I will follow up on there.

You have a FYT hardware model (models ending on P2 or P4). The firmware you see there is for the QD models which are completely different and completely incompatible with regard to the underlying hardware, drivers, etc.

Dit you managed to get the steering wheel control wiring with Metra Axxess to work on your Joying? I also need a canbus decoder for the joying i'm planning to buy. Can you recommend the Metra Axxess, and is it difficult to connect the wiring?

Yes- I got it to work, though don't ask how I had multiple back and forths with Metra on it- for some reason the Axxess could not properly detect my car, metro told me the instructions printed and on the pdf could be wrong and I should try ""VOL UP, SEEK UP, BAND, MUTE, VOL UP"" - but that didn't work. At one point I got frustrated working on the car, and reset the Axxess for the 20th+ time, and didn't notice the steering wheel was turned, so i hit the buttons 'upside down' - I am not sure the combination, but once that happened everything is working good.
In my car, two of the buttons overlap - so I have 6 buttons I can assign instead of 8, but the important one (Seek/Volume/Mute) are mapped so I am happy.
I am not using CANBUS on my car, so I can't speak to that, though I am trying to find out if there is any information anywhere on connecting to the build in HUD in my car.
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.

It will come with a canbus decoder unit. Any unit worth it's salt will work correctly with your PDC system. Mine does.

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.

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)?

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

cheers.
Back in 2017 I installed the Joying JY-UL124N2 SoFIA in my 2006 Dodge Ram. With lots of help from this forum I was able to get it working the way I wanted......I was able to get "OK Google" to work as it should, along with tweaks so that I could use Tasker and lots of other issues I cannot even remember..... but overall I was happy with it......anyway, moving forward this unit has acquired too many bugs and I do not have time to tinker with it. I would like to replace it with something that will work exactly as if I installed an Android tablet in my dash but also plays AM/FM. My requirements are.......
Volume knob on left
reverse camera input
video input for my front camera
dash cam....USB
RCA output for Kenwood amp
Sub output
DO NOT want DVD/CD
steering wheel control
MUST have working Google Play Store
As I stated, I am not looking to make a hobby out of making one work as it should.........Does such a unit exist?....
Have you looked at the Atoto A6? It seems to meet all your requirements except for the volume knob. It also has dual Bluetooth. Also the unit is not rootable but from what I gather reading and watching videos...it really doesn't need to be. I just purchased one and am going to install it later today. It's on my bench right now. I've been configuring it and am impressed so far.

Thanks. ...I'll check it out. I'd like to know if "ok google" and Google assistant work, does it give turn by turn voice navigation?

Yes sorta....Apparently google changed something and they are using a workaround using the HOUND app. The Atoto has dual bluetooth so you can tether your phone's internet over bluetooth. I will say that google assistant works when you hit the little google microphone and works pretty well. Also voice navigation in Waze works straight away. I literally just got it installed today and am still learning. You can read several threads about Atoto on here.
Hey Guys,
i have my head unit now for about 3 Months and i costumized everything i could including the Factory settings!
I have some problems where i cant google a solution or couldnt find one by myself:
First and the biggest for me:
The Bluetooth CallApp sucks - i can't sort by first name - its only sorted by last name
Is there maybe a ther app i can install?
Second Problem:
I cant finde or activate the Developer Options - tried every app on the playstore! not working
- a less big problem - i would love to get it done - but i dont see a chance someone can help me with that...
In the Factorysettings under the Tab Canbus ill have 2 Options that kinda work for me.
78_Jeep
and 48_Jeep
on the 78 Setting, i have all the Settings for my car in the Menue (light, brake etc) but with this setting my steering wheel app dosnt work. it only has a few "preset options"
(Yes i changed the Steering Wheel Canbus Type)
With the 48_Jeep Seetings the Steering Wheel app functions perfectly and i like how i can costuomize it, but the "Settings" app is gone - and my rearcamera curve strings are gone
So is there a way to use the 78_Jeep canbus type but for the steering wheel the 48 settings?
i appriciate every help and if someone needs more details - i will provice everything!
no one? This section of xda even alive?

Yes, this section is very alive.
You do not mention which kind of unit you have, which android version, etc, etc. That is like mentioning "my computer doesn't work anymore. Help".
If you have an MTC unit you might have luck in the MTC threads. There are multiple custom roms also having bluetooth mods, but BT mods are really hardware and MCU dependent. There is no such thing as a good BT app.
Developer options: On some units the settings app has been recompiled removing quite some options like developer options or bluetooth settings.
Jeep canbus settings: You can only hope for a Jeep owner to react. Besides: there are so many units. Mentioning the 78 or 48 jeep version might be specific for one type unit that nobody has.
Everything you mention is not on my units.

You have an MTCE unit. The experts on those units are in the MTC sub-forum, not in this sub-forum.
@ikerg, @typos1 and @marchnz are the MTCE experts. If any, they can help you. ( there are more, sorry if I can't name them from the top of my head, but these 3 also regularly "visit" this subforum)

Hello sir!
I too have a Jeep Renegade (2015 though) and am currently ironing out the kinks of my new radio.
My unit is a Dasaita HA-5288-v940 , PX5 w/ Android 9.0 and I have to use the same canbus settings
as you to acquire steering wheel control.
One thing that did help me with my steering wheel keys was using the settings built into the FCC Launcher.
There was an option to switch the steering wheels keys from like 'SW'? to CANBUS. Selecting CANBUS allowed
me to map my keys correctly. I left my canbus vehicle selection to the same one as in your picture (Simple).
Note: you can verify if this is the maker of your canbus by taking a peek at the decoder.. it will be made by
'Simple' or 'High' etc..
FCC is the first 'headunit specific' launcher I've tried.. but playing around with it
resolved a few jeep specific issues. Eventually I'll throw Nova Launcher on the thing when everything is working.
I am currently trying to figure out why I can't hear call audio, but can hear ad2p without issue...
My BT module appears to be a GOC-MD-705D and has to use the WQBC6 module (from what ive tested).
Callers can hear me, but I can't hear anything My harness wiring is labeled for a 'CHEROKEE', but I've
confirmed with Dasaita that I appear to have the right harness. Their support from their official ebay
store have been really helpful. I'm super hoping to resolve the lingering issues I have.
I have spoken with Dasaita support about my issues and through the conversation I have been told
that developer options has pretty much been removed. =/ I was hoping to see what bluetooth codec
was in use and see if me matching it on my mobile would resolve the audio issues...
By all means if you've resolved any issues Jeep specific send me a message??
I've had my unit for maybe 1-2 weeks now and seem to be making things a 'little' easier with every change.
I'm going to look into Viper4Android to help with some audio improvement and hoping to find a better
'bluetooth dialer' application that is better than the factory installed one.. I am totally new to the head unit
world, but trying to learn as much as I can.
I'll try and remember any specific Renegade tweaks that have improved things for me and send you a message?
I can't tell you how relieving it is to find another Jeep Renegade owner who gave U-Connect the boot..
@broach4313 I know it’s only simple but for the Bluetooth audio that you can’t hear have you tried making a call and then when the call has been answered then increasing the volume? It is a separate volume for a Bluetooth call and I had the same problem a few week back, then I remembered I turned the volume down for some reason when I was playing around with it.

This worked for me : factory settings, type code ADBON and press enter/complete. Developer options menu then appeared. (PX5, 4gb, Android Pie)

From what I see the volume is up. I can hear music via bluetooth when its played over a2dp. I appreciate the help though!
I just updated to the most recent firmware for the unit. Not change though.

The volume on a2dp music and on Bluetooth calls are 2 different things.
Try making a call in the car when your Bluetooth is connected to the unit, then when the call is answered then increase the volume on the unit. You might find the volume is currently on 0.

Nope, volume is up. I generally only see a single volume meter (sort of goes for everything?) unless I go into the
canbus settings and then i see notifications, voice, bt etc... everything is up.
Just this one huge problem solved and I'll be happy thinking about rooting the unit to gain more control, but
not sure if this is a software issue or maybe wiring related to the harness. I'm out of ideas. :|
