A-Sure Android 8.0 problems with ignition and steering wheel control - Android Head-Units

Hello together!
First of all, I'm totally new into Android Head Units so I don't really have a clue about the different versions etc. Also, I am an iPhone user since almost ten years, so I'm also kind of new to Android
I bought a 9 inch Head Unit with the stated down Specs for my Seat Leon (VW Family) which I directly connected via the original CAN BUS to the radio. It runs just perfectly, except for the following two really annoying problems:
1. The radio ignores the ignition. When I turn on/off the ignition (start/stop the car), nothing happens to the radio. I can normally turn on/off the radio, but the ignition has no effect on the radio - the radio just ignores it.
2. The steering wheel setup doesn't work. In general, the volume up/down, next/previous and phone button works by default, but when I enter the setting for the steering wheel and reset the defaults, the radio doesn't recognize the entries ( I would like to change some buttons).
Does anyone have and idea how to solve this? Are there other apps that can control these settins?
Generel questions: Is there a custom ROM available for this Head Unit? If I can't solve the issue, I would probably send it back and would buy a similar one from another manufacturer. Is there a brand where there are a lot of custom ROMs? Or is it all the same?
Sorry for these beginner questions, but I wasn't able to find real answers to these questions :
Thank you in advance!
Modell: PX5

I've got quite similar problem in my peugeot 508 - 2012. My head unit is:
Android 8

SS-PA0503271018-2
For: Peugeot 2008
P/N 1801300412
Software: PSA V2.27 005BYPS
I have no control over steering wheel at all...and all rest that supposed to be decoded by canbus decoder. In my case I had to connect power line, in the way that bypasses canbus, otherwise I cannot even boot up the device. I don't know if updating MCU would help. My device is brand new with stock MCU updated to 26 of April 2018. I thought that maybe downgrade would be a solution but I've got no control over my device to enter into a recovery mode, so I don't want to brick my HU completely.

Does it turn off when open the driver door?

No you can not change the function of each button because the head unit takes the commands ready from the can bus module. If you want to make your differences then you must cancel the can bus module and an additional interface that makes the can bus , into resistive commands

[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!
video issue on Android head unit
HI i purchased my head unit in january of this year from a chinese manufacturer it works fine with one exception and that is i recently purchased a pair of head rest to add to my vehicle so that my kids can see movies ect. but my surprise only dvd shows on the monitors i checked the monitors against another source and they work fine so it took me back to the head unit i've reached the issue over the internet and found many others have the same issue.
Can anyone help solve the problem as it seems to be a programing/software issue i could be wrong. but i really need your help.

New Joying PX5-based Android 8.0 Units - [Rockchip PX5 A53 | Android 8.0 | 4GB RAM]

I installed two different models of Joyings newest PX5-based head units. Both are the 7 inch screen 4GB RAM / 32GB flash double DIN model with flat buttons on the left edge.
Please note that as of May 2018, there appear to be multiple new 4GB / 32GB Joying head units have different internal hardware and are not compatible with each other or with the PX5 2GB Joying head units.
JY-UM128N4PX5 is a QD unit
JY-UO128P4 appears to be an FYT unit
Buyer beware. My recommendation is AVOID the QD based units and seek out the FYT units.
See below for more details.
The following information is for JY-UM128N4PX5. Further down the page is information for JY-UO128P4.
=============== JY-UM128N4PX5 =================
Came with Android 8.0.0 installed.
APP Version TP6735 0.0.65
MCU Version TP6735 4.40
Kernel Version 4.4.103
Master password:126
Password for changing logo:0000
Password for changing UI:8086
So far I have noticed the following:
The unit does not trigger the amplifier turn on signal wire - the orange and black wire labeled AMP-CONT always measures zero volts on my voltmeter. Workaround is to use either the antenna signal wire, or the ACC power signal wire, to turn on your amp. Joying is aware of this issue.
Sleep does not work. The unit shuts down completely about one minute after you turn off the vehicle's ignition. It doesn't sleep and then come back on instantly like my Intel-based Joying unit. Boot time is about 20 seconds. Joying support now says that sleep is not supported on the QD units.
I cannot find the radio settings in the new radio app. You used to be able to slide the bar at the bottom of the radio app to get to settings. Now in Android 8, there are a couple of radio settings that have been moved to the main android setup dialog.
Some of the functionality of the former car settings app has been moved to the android settings dialog. But not everything is there - for example this is where I was looking for the ability to tell the unit to toggle the amplifier signal wire. I could not find any such setting.
AM radio reception is non-existent - static on all AM channels.
FM reception is good, but I cannot figure out how to get the FM Radio to enable display of song and station information - this used to be under RDS settings, which no longer exist.
Bluetooth calling works fine. Seems more stable than my older Intel-based unit.
Sound quality is good - I am using an external amplifier.
The logo set up is missing Porsche and Saab Logos. My Intel-based Joying unit had these. Easy enough to load my own custom logo.
The unit ships with Joying's "Launcher3" selected. On the home screen, the labels of the bottom row of icons are cut off. The screenshots on Joying's website show the same thing. The joying2 launcher is missing.
If you reflash the unit, the vertical keypad on the left side of the unit gets un-mapped and stops working. Fix is to go into car settings and remap it.
========================= JY-UO128P4 ==================
Android Version 8.0.0
Build Number px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007
System Info APP 1024x600 2018-04-27 21:42:36
MCU Version 2018-01-23 10:59:33 JY_(R68)_R-86C-096I-NC-NP-1.0-P12S
Passwords:
Factory settings: 3368
Developer Options: 3368
Reset: 3368
Password for changing Launcher:8086
Password for changing screen current:
So far I have noticed the following:
The software on the JY-UO128P4 is very close to that of my older Joying Intel based system.
The developer has replaced all of the system settings screens native to android with their own settings screens. Not super cool. All of the car settings and android system setting are now intermingled.
Upon unboxing, the JY-UO128P4 has only a single Wifi antenna wheras the JY-UM128N4PX5 had two (diversity) wifi antennas. I have not tried to compare reception differences.
The amplifier turn on signal now works as expected (AMP-CONT wire correctly signals 12V when unit is active)
Sleep works as expected
AM radio reception works weakly.
The FM radio application works as expected. Radio app settings are accessed within the radio app. It's possible to enable RDS for song and station ID within the radio app.
All of the joying launchers are available - I prefer launcher 02 and it's available on this unit.
Many more car logos are available on the system. Porsche logo was built-in.
The only things I've noticed so far that are worse with the JY-UO128P4 than the JY-UM128N4PX5
The unit suffers from the android 8.0 bug on Joying where all of your google contacts are deleted if you allow your account on the head unit to sync contacts with google.
As noted above - the native android settings panels are all removed.
The app for setting the color of the buttons on the side panel is limited to pre-determined solid colors - yellow, white, red green etc. On the JY-UM128N4PX5 you could select and set any RGB color, which made it possible to match the button illumination to your other dashboard lights.
As I learn more, I will post more.

I cannot find most of the passwords needed to set up the unit. The master password is 126 - I found that by watching a joying video. But I cannot find the second level passwords for changing the logo, changing the launcher, etc. Anyone have the other passwords?
The utility to change the color of the buttons on the left side of the unit works, but the buttons do not illuminate one the unit is booted.
I cannot find the radio settings in the new radio app. You used to be able to slide the bar at the bottom of the radio app to get to settings.

I cannot figure out how to change the launcher - with the default launcher the lower row of app icons is only half visible on the screen.
Who else has a new Joying Android 8 unit - what else are you seeing? Has anyone found solutions to the items above?

I have had several back and forth emails with Joying support in the last couple of days.
They are trying to find the passwords for their new units under Android 8. Support didn't know. They had me try 00000 and 123456, neither of which worked. I told them the main password is 126 - they didn't know this either. I still need passwords for all of the second level settings - change the launcher, change the logo, see if there are more developer options for car config, etc.
They are apparently aware that the AMP-CONT lead to turn on the external amplifier does not work. They recommend connecting the accessory wire from your vehicle to the amp signaling wire instead, so the amp will turn on when you turn your key to the accessory or on position, bypassing the head unit.
They acknowledge there are no detailed settings available for the radio under Android 8 in the radio app. So there is no way to turn on station or channel ID for US customers.
I also let them know about another radio issue - FM Radio reception is normal, but AM reception is awful to non-existent.
Google maps is ok, directions from Google maps are mixing with other audio ok.
Feels like Android 8 on the new Joying 4GB units isn't quite ready for prime time yet... Has anyone tried to upgrade a 2GB Android 6 unit to Android 8 now that the Android 8 files are on Joying's website? Do you see the same behaviors, or am I seeing hardware issue with the brand new 4GB units? I suspect it's all software, but would be nice to know.

The 2GB units are not compatible with the 4GB units. They need different hardware drivers and different MCU firmware as the firmware in the 2GB units is from FYT. I forgot the manufacturer of the 4 GB units but @gtxaspec knows.
There is no downloadable firmware yet for the 2GB units.
hi, i've the same unit and the password was noted into the user manual, it's 3368.
If you buy Joying android 8.0 unit the SKU like:JY-UO135N4PX5 or JY-UOS03N4PX5,password as below:
Master password:126
Password for changing logo:0000
Password for changing UI:8086
TomTom
It seams to be so hard. Again an Android HU, where TomTom navigation does not work. It let's me download the maps, but after that it crashes every time I try to load the application.
I can confirm these passwords are correct:
Master password:126
Password for changing logo:0000
Password for changing UI:8086
Other findings so far:
The illuminated buttons do work - they sometimes take a few seconds to come on after your illumination wire signals with 12V.
The logo selection with this new unit does not include Porsche or Saab. You can still upload your own custom logos.
I updated the unit to the latest (2018-4-20) release on the Joying website which is supposed to include optimizations and Zlink and my unit is now hanging at the Android text logo (right after the animated Android logo). I sent a note to Joying support for help and will also wait for a few hours to see if it comes back to life.

The same happened to me
After writing about 25 emails with Joying support I had to reflash the whole system ... loosing all my data.
For now I am really not going to try any more updates from Joying with this unit.
Really hoping for a Custom Rom & Root for this unit.
I have one of these as well. Any one find where the setting is to make the sleep mode last longer(2hrs) before it full shuts down? it seems to be locked on 30sec currently. Also it wont pair with my OBDlinkMX BT dongle. in the older MTCD units, making the BT password 1234 let you do it, but not here. anyone have any luck with BT OBD dongle pairing?
I was really leaning towards getting this unit but have been holding off because I wish it had Bluetooth 5.0, maybe I should wait a little longer since it seems to have a fair amount of bugs. I know a lot of people are happy with the Xtron since it has all the best features I just really prefer to have the buttons on the left like this unit has. Looking forward to seeing if you guys can get this squared away

I was able to get my unit working again by reflashing. It took about 10 tries with three different USB cards but it finally worked. Joying support provided a file that included a system image and a Window-based chinese language USB card writing programs, along with a word document with instructions. You build the USB drive and then plug it into the left hand USB connector, and click the reset button on the front of the unit. It loads, then tells you to remove the USB drive, and then if you are very lucky it will reboot into Android.
After re-flashing, the vertical keyboard on the left side of the unit did not work. Turned out the mappings had been erased. Fix is to remap the keys - there is an option in car settings.
Current issues still present in the unit seem to be:
Unit shuts off entirely after 30-60 seconds instead of sleeping when you turn off the vehicle. My intel-based unit sleeps for several days.
No AM radio reception - static on all channels.
No way to turn on song or station identification in the radio settings for FM.
AMP-cont signal wire does not work. I've worked around by wiring my accessory wire directly to my amp's signaling wire.
Have not tried Torque and Bluetooth ODBII reader pairing yet - on my list for this weekend.
So, it's not just me...
I purchased a JY-UM135N2PX5 (PX5 2G/16G) with Android 6.0 mid to late March.
I had it on my bench through April, testing and configuring it prior to install.
After trading emails with Joying tech support, I was sent an Android 8.0 update to address a Zlink/iPhone issue.
I started my install in the car today, and discovered "no sound". I guessed that the AMP-CONT wasn't turning on the OEM amplifier. I rechecked the cables, which checked out just fine. Tried a Joying JY-UM135N2 (Intel Sofia 2G/32G Android 6) on the same harness, and it functioned as expected (turned the OEM amplifier on and had sound). I took them both back to my bench and noticed that the "AMP-CONT" on the PX5 unit did not appear to have 12V on it, while the Sofia unit did.
I did not leave the non-functional PX5 unit in the car long enough to see any other issues.
I am curious if I were to revert back to Android 6 on the PX5 unit, if it would fix the AMP-CONT issue (at the cost of breaking the Zlink/iPhone functionality)

Would you be so kind as to share those files with us? This would be a good starting point for further testing and research. Simply upload to a hoster like mega.

Here is the reply I got from Joying support this morning in regards to the open defects I am tracking with the unit. I suspect that all of this will get fixed in subsequent software releases, it's relatively obvious stuff. Can anyone confirm if these same issues exist in the Android 8 builds on Joying's 2GB PX5 head units, or are these unique to the newest 4GB units?
Dear friend,
Please noted :
1) sorry that your system is different with Intel head unit , it do not have fast boot feature . so it will completely off .
2) for the AM receptions is bad , you need to set the proper time and zone . also the radio area choice .
3) sorry, the head unit you purchased do not have the RDS setting .
4) for the am-cont not voltage , please connect the ACC (red wire ) to your amplifier wire . then can offer 12V .
Hope your noted .

Are they serious? I would suggest to try the Malaysk Rom, i guess your units are MTCD and MTCE devices so maybe this rom would support the missing software like rds and the other hardware not supported by Joying

I have a 2GB Android version 8.0.0 unit, but my unit is a FYT based unit like the Sofia 3GRs, unlike yours which is a QD unit.
Mine does have fast-boot as my unit is a FYT based unit, using the same hardware/SOM as the Sogia 3GR intel units.
I never used AM-reception. I wouldn't know, but I know from previous users on Sofia 3GR that they also complained about the AM reception
Which RDS-setting? This is so confusing and so not concrete. RDS is a complete set of functions. The syu/FYT based software on the FYT based units support RDS-PS, RDS-PTY and RDS-TA/TP. The latest firmware versions on FYT units (Sofia 3GR and my PX5) also support RDS-RT. They do not support RDS-AF. They implemented "something" like AF. If you use that option it does not select the Alternate Frequency of your radio station, it selects the strongest signal it can find of any station. Note that it is the software. The radio chips in all these units support the complete RDS set of functions.
Don't know about the the amp-cont wire.
You ask about and mention AM and about RDS. I hope you know that RDS can only be used on the FM signal. RDS is not available for AM.

You have an Allwinner T3 chipset in your unit.
Do not use a Joying thread to ask a completely off-topic question.
I've received the same unit, facing the same issues as the OP.
Also the localisation in my language is quite poor.

Are you saying that the unit MCU is almost unknown and that no custom ROM would be available in the near future?

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.
UIS7862 FYT based unit
