Hi Guys,
I am very new to using android car stereo and would love some assistance. I bought a Android 4.4 Quad Core Double 2Din Car Stereo DVD Player Radion GPS Navi Wifi OBD and had it installed in my 2009 Toyota Ipsum vehicle; all features work except for the Barasoft Navigator however, I have been having this problem where the radio freezes on the Android start screen when the car is switched on. It does not move from there unless I press and hold the power button for a few second then it powers down and I press it again for it to turn back on. Sometime I have to do this several times before the radio gets pass the android screen.
The other issue is with the Barasoft Igo navigator, I installed a map and everything however, whenever I open the navigator and click on map it says no streets found nearby.
I would love if anyone could assist me with these problems please.
The model number is 121895317249

The UI and other specs are very similar to the HotAudio test preview (thread here). Has anyone had a chance to get their hands on one of these yet? I'm deciding between this or a Joying unit.
Any input is appreciated!
PX3 RK3188 Android 7.1.1 DVD VW GPS 2G ram
Just received and installed this Head unit in my vw touran 2004.
It looks like the specifications are the same : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Pure...32582906631.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.UFTkAD
The unit is a Bonroad C1120801A4/A5 (RK3188 Android 7.1.1 Lecteur DVD de Voiture pour Octavia Fabia Praktik EOS GPS Navigation Avec 1024*600 HD 8 "
So far, i'm satisfied with the unit :
- Radio is now working and stable .RDS works fine (with the last DCMU update). (You need to put a double fakkra antenna plug to get the radio stable on vw cars)
- GPS IGo is fine but not in French, Waze great
- canbus is functional
- Wifi rear camera ok
- BT external micro (mono) installed, i need to shout/YELL (it is an issue...)
When calling, both mic works (front mic and ext. roof mic)
google voice research unusable
I'm waiting for documentation from the supplier as there were no instructions in the box.
Do not hesitate, if you need more informations, pictures and tests. :good:
I tried Kingo root but it failed.
I also bought a car radio on aliexpress similar to yours. Px3 cortex a9 for ford focus c-max.
I have exactly the same worries as you with the microphone, the one integrated in the facade I have to stick my mouth on and scream.
The one who plugs externally is the same thing.
Many people talk about a worry with frequencies that are not the same in china and here
300-3400 for china
50-7400 for others
If you can root your device you can change the frequencies with Pimp my rom.
Personally I can not root it.
Thanks for the feedback. What's the boot time on this thing? Does it have a sleep function similar to Joying units?

About 15 to 20 seconds to boot. For sleep functions, I have nightlight or 15s 30s 1mns ect ...
I've the same unit but it doesn't detect OBDII adapter. Any solution?
After trying everything to get the microphone that works for the handsfree kit, I decided to cut the 4th leg of the bluetooth module and solder a mono microphone directly on it. This was my last option because I did not have the c32 connector. This has been a success. People hear me very well now.
I have ordered this one - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-C...32691433062.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.MbBrvn. Waiting for the the item to arrive. The seller would ship it on 17 July 2017 (Monday).

Can you try the following and see if this gives you root access:
Goto factory settings and instead of typing 126 type *#hct#root#
This may give you temporary root access. Now you can install supersu or magisk to make the root permanent.
Note: I don't have this device or have not used any other Android HU; so I have not tried the steps mentioned above. I found this on the internet. Please try and let us know the result.

Is your Bluetooth scanning OBDII with this ROM ?

i tried your password to root but it does not work

Anyone managed to fix the bad Bluetooth call quality? Any luck with getting root access?

Hello, I bought this unit, but the 9-inch model without buttons and I do not use the search for voice, the free hands works perfectly for me, but for voice searches they do not work with the internal or external microphone.
Nor can I get programs with self-starting like the Radardroid service start only with the start of the radio, I have to manually activate it at each radio start.
I also have no rear camera, only parking sensors, and every time I put the reverse gear turns off the screen and the voice of the radio to try to connect to the back camera even if I do not have it, this did not happen with my previous radio with android 4.4, only with this new one with android 7.1.2.

(1) In the "Shutdown delay when ACC is off" do you have a new option named "Auto Sleep"?
(2) What is the MCU version you have?
Thanks in advance!

Well you're right, if I have the auto sleep option enabled, but programs like Radardroid can not start automatically with the radio, I always have to start them manually.
Hi everyone!
I have a similar unit.
I think that the problem is with android version. In our case 7.1.1.
I had a problem with my OBDII reader and I updated my unit to 7.1.2 and fix it
Now with 7.1.2 I have the same problem with microphone and also I have a problem with USB cameras. Only the DVR app can connect with but only the first time. If I close the DVR app and open it again, camera dont work.
I want to use the USB front camera with Mapillary and iOnRoad but I cant.
Any idea?
Where can I donwload a previos android version? for example 5.1.1 or 6 perhaps its would fix the problems.
Thanks!
I've had a Hizpo 7" no dvd with buttons mcu xrc 2.54 android 7.1.2 2gb 16gb for a week. Came this way so I can't say about previous versions.
My bluetooth microphones (both) work fine for me, calls hear me fine. Even just the internal mic seems good.
I haven't had any bluetooth connection problems.
Android does not see any microphone, there is no speech input in keyboard settings, google voice search hears nothing. Voice recorder apps hear nothing.
Tried a usb mic but that did nothing.
Can't get usb camera to work for DVR. RCA CVI cam works in DVR but doesn't record, does not work in FCAM app however, though rear does.
OBDII worked fine when I first tried it, haven't messed with it since.
Display clear and good.
Haven't seen any bog, even when running nav, audio, video etc.
Audio is so so, lots of noise. Radio reception seems great and RDS works too. Needs an amp.
Wifi reception is great, just a little antenna on the back.
I really like it but for the lack of voice search. It's really fast, I have a load of apps and still tons of space. Runs everything so far.
Nearly instant on, radio is playing in under 2 sec (probably 1).
GPS works good so far, finds my location in maybe 10 sec or less usually. I haven't been thru Pittsburgh yet to say how well it keep its signal.
I just got MTCtools and dialer and will start messing with them tomorrow, hopefully I can get a mic input to android and get voice working, then this will be really great!
I am looking for help with joying headunit and Torque Pro app(specifically the Speech alarms feature), it will only tell me that OBD is connected or disconnected, engine is at operating temperature or fault code present if the radio is not on or i close it before the app starts in dashboards, also the maps will not speak directions or route changes as well, and the older PX5 unit i had from 2018 had a navigation sound mode that you could select <switch> with a GPS mix
Thank You! Sorry i put in wrong format
Hello all,
I have the 1GB AllWinner K2001N head unit. All works good except when using navigation apps, such as HERE by Nokia. No matter the software, the navigation directions get truncated. For example, if the next turn's directions were to go to "908 Sampson Street is in three miles," the unit only say "908 Sampson is in three."
Anyone ran into an issue like this? Even if I connect a CarPlay Dongle to the head unit, the audio still chops off at the end.
Hi, turn to IGO navigation it is much better and sofisticated. You can find maps and other stuff on internet for this.
Download IGO from playstore or other platform that you have.

Thanks for that suggestion. I am still interested in the issue because apparently some music apps stutter like this too.
Hello, after many month of thinking what to put in my car, I decided not to risk with ones straight from china , even though they have a great design , their prices went quite up. So I bought one from my country which again is Chinese but has 2 years warranty. It has the following specs: Android 11 - octa-core CPU, 4 GB RAM, 64GB ROM, RDS, DSP, CARPLAY . A decent launcher design. After I had it put in my car there are some problems of course...
First of all my dashboard became Chinese , secondly the steering wheel controls don't work. I searched for information and found that I can go in factory settings and change the can bus software or something. I found out I can get in these settings with the password 3368 . And there are many types of CAN BUS settings. Around 5-6 have Opel Insignia . So far I tried 3 and it doesn't work - it doesn't prompt me to reboot but I do it anyway. Also in the navigation "car settings" it just seems like it doesn't talk with the car at all. At least I got to put the Opel logo for boot up animation.
Climate control works from the old knobs , and does not visualize on the screen - this is not really a problem for me but still wonder why doesn't it work. Also i got a OBD II dongle which lights up when i plug it in and the navi Bluetooth finds it , but i cant connect to it - it wants a passcode and 0000,8888,3368 don't work .
Now for what DOES work - the new rearview camera starts when I put it in reverse , but the lines don't bend. Music comes out of the speakers . Blinkers and hazards and chimes have e new bad sounding beep , but at least there is some communication with the car. Sport and Tour buttons work ! The mechanics which put in the new unit took out the whole cd changer , I don't know why and if it was necessary and if it is a problem. Park assist also work and the button but it also has changed chime sounds.
When i contacted the sellers they told me they just sell, and don't know much about installations.. they told me its model is just "8581" not really helpful like the Chinese supports which i expected to avoid.
Any help will be greatly appreciated !! Mainly i want to fix my dashboard to be in English again(when the battery disconnects and the computer resets , it usually goes back in German, never Chinese) And the other thing is to get the steering wheel buttons to work and along with it to have more communication between the car and the navigation unit.
Try reading forums and posting what has been tried, or at least try to figure out what the unit is

I found those. But it helps me in no way.
The problem was a wrong connection on one of the many cables . Now everything works , and im quite happy with the unit. I dont know in what standby mode it stays but it boots up for seconds, another 5 seconds for the wireless car play and the music starts automatically from Spotify and the maps are ready to navigate. My car leveled up
