Hello everybody , I'm owner of Ownice C200 Chinese head unit and i hate about audio quality and Bluetooth. I was using Behringer UCA 202 Usb dac but few months ago it stopped to work. Dac working with other devices but with head unit it is not working. When i use USB audio player, I can hear sound via headphone but from stock car speaker , no sound. For this i bought line converter to connect directly RCA from USB dac, but then i learned it need amplifier to power speakers. ( if i am wrong , please correct me)
I search a lot of topics in XDA and i saw one message using two head unit in car but there is no more information. I want absolutely same things. I want to use Pioneer deh-prs80 ( i will hide it somewhere in car) and will continue to use Android head unit for navigation, watching movies, rear view camera purpose. Is it really possibly ? I don't want to install any amplifier to my car, i don't need loud music, i just need clear and crystal music. I have hertz esk 165.5l as speaker.
If it's possible how will be connection ? Car battery enough to make power for both head unit ? ( i will connect speaker wire to directly pioneer) , is it possible to connect android head unit to pioneer via aux or Bluetooth or what ? I wish when i use android head unit, sound will go to pioneer and this head unit amplifier to speaker quality sound.
I also wonder if it is possible can be sound quality difference playing directly from pioneer or through android head unit to pioneer ?
I hope this topic will help to people who suffer from audio quality expect other features in android head unit..
Nobody can help ?
Well I would connect it via Y Splitter and the Front RCA out on the HU would go to the AUX in the Pioneer deck and connect your bluetooth to the Pioneer HU instead of the Android. You would have to zero out the sound from the Android and adjust your EQ settings from the Pioneer to get the best quality needed.

Hello All,
Galaxy S4 user x1 month and I absolutely love it!
I'm installing an aftermarket stereo head unit in my car, with bluetooth (Kenwood KDC-X896). I chose this head unit for the reviews and sirius-xm and a few other options available on it. http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertainment/2012_Car_Entertainment/KDC-X896
Along with the install of the head unit, I am installing a Rocketfish Bluetooth Receiver with apt-X capability. The reason I'm installing the Rocketfish Bluetooth is to make use of the apt-X on the Samsung Galaxy S4. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...11138&ref=39&loc=01&CJPID=6149808#tab=reviews
The plan is to pair my phone with the Rocketfish play my music collection off my Samsung Galaxy S4 through the bluetooth Rocketfish (using apt-X) which is power-sourced to the car battery (switched) and plugged into the Kenwood head unit's AUX plug. This should provide brilliant sound from my phone through the car speakers.
QUESTIONS
1. Since the Kenwood head unit has bluetooth functionality as well, do you foresee any interference or issues with music playing through my phone?
2. Is it possible to pair the phone to the Kenwood head unit (to use phone via car speakers) IN ADDITION TO the Rocketfish (for music)?
3. If number 2 doesn't work, is it possible to go through the Rocketfish for audio and then switch to bluetooth on the Kenwood head unit for incoming calls?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
I guess it depends on the profiles offered by the Kenwood. My setup is to connect to the BMW inbuilt Bluetooth hands free, connect to an aptX Samsung receiver with a headphones out port plugged into the aux port of the car audio. When I get a call, it switches to the hands free automatically

Check out an app called sound about. You can choose what device different audio uses. For example you have media to be played through head unit and phone calls through you're other bluetooth device

Hi, thanks so much for a fast response! It sounds like what you're doing with your BMW is similar to what I'm wondering if my new setup can do.
A few questions:
1. The headphones out port you refer to - is this from the aptX Samsung receiver to the aux on your car audio head unit? (That's what I'm hoping to do with my Rockefish device). (Or are you referring to your headphones out port from your phone to the aux on your car audio?)
2. What kind of aptX Samsung receiver do you have in your car? (Can you post a link?) Is it similar to the Rocketfish?
3. Are you using specific apps on you phone to help in this situation, or is it as easy as it sounds?
Thanks again!

1. The former. Headphones out port from the apt x receiver to the head unit. The phone has nothing physically attached
2. HS3000. Google brings up loads of results for it.
3. No specific apps. Just regular bluetooth, with Play Music running .
So I replaced my head unit with a after market one a few months ago.
the exact model is an Xtrons TE706PL.
I also have a good set of car speakers ( 2x pioneer ts-g1720f (front door), 2x caliber cds46(trunk)
they work great and stuff but when I try going for more bass the sounds starts cracking. I know I could get a subwoofer to fix
but I wanted to try if it was possible to connect a bluetooth speaker to my car headunit. I have a JBL Boombox which sure pumps out more bass for sure. My idea was maybe trying to connect the JBL boombox to my headunit via bluetooth and using it as a Sub.
Did anyone try this? Is it even possible? if not I think I might have to get a Sub after all but I'd rather keep the 200-300 dollars in my pocket (I don't have a separate car amp and even though my head unit does have a sub input I'm not sure if that's actually a good think with the head unit amp(4x 45w)
any other thoughts and Ideas are more than welcome.
PS. im not 100% sure if this is the correct place to ask this
Hello, I've bought an android head units for my car because it's the only possibility. I can't use 1/2 DIN autoradio. So I bought on aliexpress the only head units that can fit in my Citroen C4 II.
I would know how I can connect this head units to my amplifier without using the poor RCA audio.
Can I use a USB DAC ?
Or a I2S to SPDIF ?
Thank you
Hi,
You can tap in direct into the speakers wires.....cut your wire 20-30-40 cm before your connection to the radio,and take one end into the amp out and the end coming fron the radio into the amp in.... look up high level connection on google.
Does anyone have an recommendations on an double din android based head unit that has a fully working bluetooth module? Something that can pair with and control an Alpine PXE-0850S amplifier. Does such a head unit exist?
Thanks
I would also like to know if such a product exist.
With new headunits including plenty of memory, storage, fast a75 cores and 4g -but high noise floor and only 2 slow usb ports+crippled BT is such as letdown :-(
I noticed the Atoto units have two bluetooth modules and support bluetooth tethering. Any chance those will pair with generic devices?
Well, I answered my own question by buying an Atoto S8 and trying it out. The second bluetooth module seems to be a normal fully working module and does pair with the Alpine amp and allows the amp settings to be configured using the Alpine app. However, since the amp also supports bluetooth streaming, whenever the head unit connects to the amp over bluetooth it routes audio output from music apps (but not the radio) via the bluetooth connection (instead of spdif), bypassing the head unit volume controls. So whenever I want to change the amp configuration I have to pair it with the head unit, run the Alpine app, make the changes, and then unpair the amp. Grrrr.....
Hi. I bought an android head unit for my megane 2.2. All the sound is good except that my subwoofer doesnt sound like with my old Alpine player. I recently bought a bigger and better subwoofer, but its still doesnt sound like it should. I tried connecting to audio R and L and it gave a little more loud bangs, but more disortion. I have 1 subwoofer rca cable, bought a Y cable for it to make that double channel but its still the same disappointing result. Can I somehow make that work like it should or cant help that with these android head units. I want to mention that i dont have a subwoofer setting on the unit.

Hi!
If you bought this device in the link then Android DSP equalizer and output chip is to low to transfer bigger wattage to speakers.
One way to fix that is to buy external DSP output with more wattage then default android unit and connect amplifiers to this one, then reroute unit to use this external output.
If you have external subwoofer with amplifier try to decrease output to this amplifier in extra settings or factory menu (pin code) / sound. Output will usually be marked as speakers.
