Hi,
We have 3 cars that presently have 3 old factory head units (one has a cassette!)
We have
1) a BMW E46 that ideally would take a single din unit (so we do ot have to buy a new aircon controller)
2) a Toyota mr2 spyder that has a 200mm x 100mm head unit (no steering wheel buttons) mounted down low
3) a 2008 Ford Transit van with a 6000CD player with steering wheel buttons
We would ideally like 3 units that all work the same (i.e. buttons in that same place)
We would like:
Sat nav
reversing camera WITH VIRTUALLY INSTANT ON AFTER HEAD UNIT POWERED ON
output for sub woofer / external amplifier
CAN ANYONE HELP?
Thanks in advance

Hi There,
I have an VW Touareg I from Year 4/2008. It is the Facelift Model with CANBUS 2.0
Buy a Erisin 5056T Unit (PX5 / 2 GB) with integrated VW CANBUS Decoding Box (Decoder inside the Radio it´s not external Box).
Inside the Unit i try different Types of CANBUS settings (Default was 1 (VW / Scoda))
I am little Frustrated because of the limit Implementations of decoding CANBUS Signal inside this Unit.
Whats running:
ACC Signal (Radio turn on when i plug IN the Car Key and go into "Sleep Mode" when i pull the Key out.
Steering Wheel Keys: Only Loud / quiet / Phone / Mute keys are running (can´t change any Responsible of keys in the Unit) seems hard coded
Screen for Camera Switching if i switch my gear into Reverse
Whats not running:
NO , really no Data inside the vehicle App.
Reaktion of draw lines for the backwards Camera change/move only when i turn 100% left or Right on the Steering Wheel. And only for millimeters....
Is there any Experience with other Units that can better Communicate with VW Touareg?
Regards
Ben
no one use a Android Car Unit in the Touareg ?

Hi
Thx for response.
Did you have experience with that Unit?
Can the Radio read the Door or/and Park Sensors?
Regard

Hi

Hello guys,
I have the exact same problem with a Erisin PX5/4gb/Android 9.0, but I have a Treg from 2005 with Canbus 1.6. I have contacted Erisin, sent them my original wiring diagram and am waiting for their response. in the meantime I have the latest MCU updates, I'll try them today.
Have you tried the Canbus setting VW_TOUAREG(Hiworld) ? For me it doesn't work, but maybe for those of you who have Canbus 2.0 will work.
If I find a solution or I have any news I'll post them here, hope you do the same, maybe we will get this unit to decode all the signals from Can-Bus.
If anyone wants the updates images, just let me know and I'll upload them.
Regards,

Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum. I know a bit about Volvo (the older ones!), and Volvo head units, but not about Chinese Android head units.
I’m considering replacing the aging head unit of my (also aging!) 2002 Volvo V70. The head unit is a simple HU 603, so no Dolby, center speaker or extra amplifier. I’m looking at Xtrons TA702P (quad core) or TB706PL (octa core). I prefer a 7 inch touch screen, no knobs, no DVD. But navi should be good, as would radio. Music I can play through usb. And my Elephone S7 (Android 7.1) phone should mirror on the unit if possible.
Other functions like back up camera or steering wheel control are not important to me.
I know how to take the HU 603 out. I know I need an adapter harness to connect with the new unit. And a fascia adapter. All that is available.
My questions:
Xtrons has many car/model specific head units (not for Volvo). They have Canbus decoders supplied with the unit. Not so for the TA702P or the TB706PL. Will that give problems? (The answer from the ebay seller is somewhat useless: ‘Both the TB706PL and the TL702P does not come with the canbus so that you just ignore it.’) Anyone has experience with this?
How are user experiences with these modern Xtrons units? I know, ‘you get what you pay for’, I know that. But still, worth the money?
Units from Kenwood or Pioneer are other options, but again, is it worth it?
Thanks!
Hi there
I own and drive a V70 from 2006. I have replaced the original HU with a SONY 2 DIN unit (XAV-V630BT). This unit has great sound. I also swapped the speakers to JBL. It is totally worth it.
I have a CANbus to resistor unit. This makes it possible to use the steering wheel buttons.
Right now i am testing a Android HU. Unfortunately i have bought the wrong one. The unit is full of bad design choices. The sound integration in the unit is bad. I think that radio, BLUETOOTH and AUX sound runs directly to the sound processor. This means that when the Android unit plays a sound, the sound from the other units are turned off. In my opinion the other source should just fade a little.

Hi there
As said, I don't need steering wheel controls, my steering wheel doesn't even have the buttons. Must have been a cheapskate first owner!
Does this mean the Canbus only affects steering wheel control? So ignoring Canbus (no resistor as in your case), will give no problems?
And yes, by now I've found out Android units may not have the best sound quality. Or radio reception.

Hi,
I have old cars without steering wheel stereo controls. But maybe some cheap new cars still don't have these, so some may relate.
Universal 2din Head units with px6 4gb and 7" screen (there would be space for more ) don't have skip track/next track button.
I also tried to find if there is way to use some Bluetooth remote with these units, but all info seems to be that it does not work.
I don't want to hard wire controls to steering wheel.
Is there some head unit that I missed? Is there a way to make bluetooth remotes work?
Maybe something with sc9853i has next track button?
BTW i found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wptzk5W6uxI - i did not know there were any px5 with matte screen!
I recently installed a unbranded unit model 7918 from eBay) with 8227L chip in my 2015 Mazda 5 sport. Things are working fine. I do have the following questions
1. What is the difference between 4 pin and 6 pin USB sockets on the back of the unit?
2. My steering wheel control communicates with the Android unit by using key1 (resistance) and key2 (ground) without any interface. I am hoping to add more buttons on the steering wheel. Can this be done wirelessly?
Just bought one of these eonon q03pro units to put in my 2006 mercedes c180 (W203), its a universal unit not car specific, to replace a failed other chinese unit(8 core 8667 chip based unit). I have tested it today but not fully fitted as waiting for facsia kit to arrive.
My last unit was car specific with dedicated wiring harness and canbus for steering controls, this one only came with a standard ISO connector and I have a dedicated mercedes wiring harness coming with the facsia kit, however having a day off I decided to try powering up with the harness from the old 8667 unit, it powered up ok but the steering controls will not work. I have been told Mercedes don't use the resistive control method, you can't program wheel controls like that via the key wires. You would need to use the high/low wires and select your Mercedes model in the advanced Canbus options

Hi, as you changed device , you must set also model for wheel controls via canbus settings in factory settings. It must work.
Sometimes controls must be set afterwards, depends on the canbus box (if it is SIMPLE SOFT, HIWORLD or RAISE canbus) that you installed. You have to shift between canbus settings of various car models in order to work. If you have online update for canbus controls update via internet.
Thank you will try that, maybe trial and error but I thought there would be a way to make it work, as it was from a previous unit set for W203 Mercedes c class. This is my 3rd android unit in the car so hopefully this one will work
