Hello ,
I bought this head unit to fit into my Audi A3, bought the fitting cage and wiring harness for the amplified rear Audio. Connected it up and it’s was all fine besides some questionable sound quality and then the next time I switched it on I was met with a blank screen. It’ll beep when I reconnect the power but that’s about it.
I was advised to load the boot menu by holding reset and power for 5 seconds then releasing reset followed by power which gave me three beeps but no boot menu! I also tried disconnecting my car battery to reset everything but it made no difference, it still won’t boot back up.
Has anyone come across this before? Is this an issue with the unit or could it not be getting the power it needs? I’m in desperate need of some help, any advice at all would be a massive help!
Thanks!

Hello, I recently bought this head unit and I am now facing the following problem. It won't turn off! To be specific, for as long it gets power from the ignition switch, if I turn it of it will retract screen, say bye bye etc but the clock on little screen, button illumination and any power supply to amplifiers electric antenna etc will stay on. Does this happen with other brands too? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Anyone to tell if this applies also in his head unit, even of another brand?
Try to switch the acc and power cable on the connector
Hi Everyone!
I've recently installed a Chinese (Funrover) Android HU into my 7th gen Honda Accord. For the first few weeks everything worked fine. Then I tried to install the rearview camera that came with the HU. On the first try before putting the camera to it's final place I tested it and it worked fine. After I put it in it's actual place and tried again, it didn't work. The camera lights up, so power is fine but the HU doesn't switch to the camera's feed.
Next day I had some issues with the HU - the sound just went away. This still happens randomly.
And now recently the HU started turning off randomly, sometimes it doesn't even start up when I start the car. It does work sometimes though. Also it sometimes tries to power on en-route, but usually fails and goes blank again in a few seconds. I noticed that this usually happens when I'm braking and also at the same time the car's original built-in bluetooth unit (which I've never used so I'm not sure how it works) would flash it's leds as if it's getting power from the same source.
Does anyone have any ideas what to check / how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
(let me know if you need any more details)
Hi I have an android head unit for my car that I have managed to mess up by putting Spotify into the auto start slot (was navi) as I thought it would be good to come on at the start. The problem I now have is that is has the volume of the sat nav which goes down to 3 and then off. I've tried pressing the reset button on the front of the unit (nothing changed) and also uninstalling Spotify/Navi/maps and it's still the same ???
Is there a way to factory reset these head units?
Thanx for any help I receive ?
Hello,
I have recently purchased a 12.3 android unit and got round to installing it the other day.
Everything works on the unit the only problem I seem to be having is a timed cut off on the android unit of the old ccc.
The ccc menu will only power on the android side when the old power plug is connected to the old screen. I can remove the power from the old screen and it will still run on the android side for a short amount of time before doing the same. I have to connect the old power plug back to old screen for it to load up on the android side.
Hope this makes sense
Any help would be much appreciated
So exactly, when you unplug the old headunit. The new one stays on then turns off
Yes the ccc menu goes off on the new android unit after 10 minutes every thing else stays on, on the android side. Only when I plug back the power to the old bmw screen and unplug again it then shows the ccc menu for another short amount of time.
I would hazard a guess that there is a wire to switch on the CCC unit from the original screen so connect it to your remote output wire or amp turn on
I recently installed an Android Head unit in my 2012 BMW 128. I have the HiFi non HK stereo.
Sound works fine. Steering wheel controls also work (set for an E90 to match the canbus decoder that was included. There is no option for E82)
GPS/WiFi, etc all work as expected.
The issue I'm having is that when I shut the car off and lock it, it never goes to sleep. Normally it takes 15-20 minutes for it to finish all the checks and enter sleep mode but with the power connected to the Android unit, that process never stops. I've waited hours and came back to it still making noises, the start button periodically lighting up, etc.
If I disconnect the power cable to the head unit/canbus controller, the car goes to sleep as expected. I have gone into the factory settings and disabled sleep mode which causes the stereo to have to boot when you start the car but that also didn't resolve the issue.
I have not connected the extra yellow cable to the fuse panel - I understand that's for clock/radio presets but those are not of concern at the moment.
I can't find any settings on the head unit that would be causing this. The yellow power appears to flow through the canbus controller to the head unit because if you disconnect the canbus controller the head unit will not power on so I tend to think it's likely the canbus controller that's the culprit.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and how they resolved it?
Connected the yellow cable to the power for the 12v outlet and the car goes to sleep as expected.
Bumping my own old thread.
Connected to fuse #2 in the panel and the car would sleep and the stereo retains clock, etc but I get a battery drain warning.
Went back to 12v outlet and no more battery drain but it cold boots every time I start the car.
If anyone stumbles across this and has a solution please let me know!
