I have installed a Xtrons unit PS96MTVL to my 2010 Passat.
I would like to use a different app to manage phone calls, the stock one is awful. But I can not make any other dialer work, looks like stock one is the one managing phone calls and I can not override it. Any help?

I purchased a new Joying head unit 30 days ago and the mic really sucks bad even after mod's, this is a major deal breaker for me. I am about to order another unit (Ownice 8" model OL-7606) but thought I would ask you great folks first. Here is my set up and must have's out of the box: what unit would be best for me is the question.....

WOW No one wants to through their input into this?
I'm in a similar position trying to find a cheap android hu with decent bluetooth. I was looking at an eonon, but found these avinusa units which supposedly have parrot bluetooth - https://avinusa.com/7-universal-dou...android-multimedia-navigation-system-159.html
I own a parrot asteroid smart and it has been a great unit but the software and hardware is dated now. The bluetooth handsfree and voice command are awesome though so I'm very interested in how these avinusa units are. If you do get one I'd love to hear your feedback on it or any other unit you get.

I previously had a carjoying and had the same bs. horrible bt call quality even after mods.
I have a AN-21U 2nd gen unit now, built specifically for my car and BT quality is excellent.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...nd-generation-4-4-2-android-21u-ouku-t3230587
It does have some quirks about the way the unit handles BT (treats BT as separate device from unit instead of part of the unit), but it's still really good and a huge improvement over carjoying.
Hi guys,
nice to meet you.
I've read a lot on this forum about Ownice C500 when I bought and installed this unit.
Now I am searching for the best unit for this car: Skoda Octavia 2 (year 2012).
What I am looking for:
- the best screen possible in an Android unit, at least 8'' diagonal (something to be visible under heavy sunlight would be ideal - don't know if possible);
- Dual Channel CAN-BUS communication - (the unit should display car events: door open, AC temperature settings, parking sensors information)
- as fast as possible (8 cores mandatory ?);
- 4G mobile network;
- DVD unit (I've seen this erases from the list all the 9'' units I found so far );
- good blue tooth phone calls (Is this even possible? )
- DVR camera;
- rear-view camera compatible with Skoda Octavia 2;
What I have currently on the short list
1. Uniway 2G+32G 2 din android car dvd
I cannot find any reviews about Uniway units.
++ Seems to have dual channel can-bus communication.
-- No 8 cores
-- 4G on extra dongle (is this reliable ?)
2. Ownice C500
++ I have used it before. I know it's stable, fast, reliable
++ 8 cores, 32GB ROM
++ 4G embeded - I know it works
-- Seems NOT to have dual channel can-bus communication.
If I have to recommend only one head unit, I would recommend XTRONS. I have recently replace my Skoda Octavia 2014 with XTRONS PST10CTS.
It has many useful features like DSP, Android 10, suports carautoplay, bluetooth.

My XTRONS Android 8 unit has been working without an issue for over 2 years now, it is one of the best radios i have bought from China, no lagging with the system, sound quality is much better than i expected. XTRONS customer is always helpful. Only thing i don't like is the Android version can't be upgraded, so i have to live with Android 8, the apps are still working though.
Just bought the PST10CTS for my Octavia 2014 as well with OBD2 Bluetooth dongle.
So far i've gotten it configured almost the way I want, with using a custom launcher (Nova launcher) to replace the built-in one and using Youtube Vanced as a media source.
I'm a bit confused as to how to connect the AUX/USB of the car to the radio and if it's at all possible to hook up a USB battery pack to the powerfeed, so that it can be on standby mode when the car is off.. faster to start also..
And does anyone have suggestions on how to route the GPS antenna cable to the dash or whats the recommendation where to put it?
Hello everybody,
I'm searching for the best unit for Volkswagen Passat B7 (year 2012) to replace my RCD 510. What I am looking for:
- Android unit with 8'' - 10'' diagonal
- Dual channel Can-Bus - (the unit should display car events: door open, AC temperature settings, parking sensors information)
- VW car steering wheel control support
- DAB+
- Good bluetooth or integration with VW bluetooth module (Is this even possible?)
I've heard about Joying, Seicane and Dasaita and I'm not sure which one is better. Your advice or suggestions will be much appreciated and welcomed. Thank you.
Best Regards
I can hardly answer your question as it stated since I only tried (and use) Joying HU.
I've replaced my RNS-510 mostly because map updates in my region are not supported anymore. Had quite a hard time with Joying, but finally have no any doubts that would do it (change) again.
My HU is 8" with HW buttons, which helps alot: being able to switch to Navi/Radio/Home from any screen is a good thing. CAN bus works OK: climate indication, doors, outside temp, safety belts, fuel, mileage, park sensors, rear view cam, hand brake status, steering wheel controls do work. I did not buy DAB+ and had a hard time with AM/FM radio reception, but changing antenna harness (both were in Joying's direct supply) solved the problem.
BT app is much inferior to the VW factory unit, especially if you do outcoming calls when driving. Incoming calls are also first identified with bare numbers, not names - it corrects on the 2nd call.
I use Huawei E8xxx 4G modem as WiFi hotspot, Joying rear cam and Joying dashcam. All in all - it's a new world which opens to you with Android HU. I could not have something like this (and much more) on factory RNS: https://yadi.sk/i/Zg1TFzHu3PDvou
You plan to abandon RCD unit, which is not a Navi system. For those like me who had RNS Navi - you are going to miss correct tunnel/no GPS guidance and correct direction in the morning when factory Navi knows right from ignition how to make proper guidance. In 3-rd party HU there is no compass, gyros and speed sensor data which are used by a navi program (speed is available via CAN, but a navi program is not aware of it, only GPS). I still agree when VW calls it's 9 year old factory HU a "premium navi".
Sound quality can not compare to factory unit despite that brand new "digital amp" (I have "D" model), but here I am lucky - all my audio interests are in FM news radio.
I also have a Passat 2012 and a Joying Sofia 8" with HW knobs (JY VL130N2).
I am generally very pleased with this combination. Everything works except for
BT indeed is not perfect.
Dasaita units also have a good reputation here. I never had one, so I cannot tell much about those...
Hello,
Thanks for response. I'm wondering if there's a specific model from Joying that's current "the best". At the moment I'm looking at:
VW 6.0 OCTA CORE HEAD UNIT PX5 and VW NEW DIGITAL AMPLIFIER AUTORADIO ANDROID 6.0 HEAD UNIT
If anyone have any other suggestions (Dasaita, Seicane...) please dont hesitate to say. Thanks.
Regards
Do not mess with "octa PX5". The second link is OK, since the part number is DE-JY-VM130N2D - just the same I have. If you have external amp, then "D" model is not recomended, take one without "digital amp" built in - like DE-JY-VM130N2.
With that choice we have a very promising perspective, just take a look here https://forum.carjoying.com/thread-1377-current-state-of-hackishness-.html

Why are you saying do not mess with PX5? A lot of users recomends PX5 because it is new and has unofficial support like PX3, so seems more futureproof than anything else right now.
Having finally given up trying to pair my Doogee S60 phone with my Xtrons TE103P head unit can i simply download all my phone contacts to the head units SD card and use the phone that way? Or does it have to be through BT? Apologies for the question i'm not particularly tech-savvy and what with a host of other problems with this head unit, one of the principal reasons for purchasing it in the first place was to utilise the phone function so i don't get nicked again for using my phone whilst driving so if this function doesn't work its almost pointless having the thing.
Any help much appreciated

I have the same unit too. To be able to make or receive phone calls you will have to be connected to Bluetooth unfortunately. My phone pairs ok but I have obd 2 units that will not be found. Same as on TE103AP. Bluetooth problems seem to be common with Chinese headunits.

I have one problem
a telephone connected to the PX5 station does not display all contacts from the address book
refreshing randomly loads contacts into the station, e.g. contsacts start from the letter S only (I cant see contacts from A to R for example only from S to Z)
other times contacts start from the letter T etc.
What could be the reason for incorrect loading of contacts from the phone?
Hello,
Everything is in the title
I bought an aftermarket unit for my sister's car and, even if its bluetooth application successfully synchronizes all of her contact names and phone numbers, whenever she receives a call, only the phone number of the caller is displayed (in a a very old fashion and transparent overlay at the bottom of the screen) ... Eventually I may suspect this is because she's paired to an iphone (I haven't tested when paired with android device) ... anyway bluetooth aplication succefully synchronizes her contacts, so just sounds weird as is.
As default UI in general look very old fashioned from the 80's, my plan was to buy her a TEyes CC3 unit whose default UI looks more appealing, but I would like to make sure it will fixes issue for displaying caller ID (whatever she's pairing with an iphone or android device).
Do you have some picture/video for incoming bluetooth calls on a TEyes CC3 unit (iphone/android - and when user not particularly inside of bluetooth application already) to see how it looks like ? Maybe caller id display is a well-known issue and you know a fix for it (this would avoid me buying a new unit ^^).
Here below some details about the installed unit if useful:

Thanks.
PS: I also have an aftermarket unit in my car and incoming calls are working fine (tough I'm paired to android phone and I'm using Vivid launcher ... NB: I have tested vivid launcher on my sister car and it does not integrate well with bluetooth/radio, apparently because this is not a MTCxxx device).
