andriod head unit factory setting menu

I have installed an Andriod 4.2.2 Head unit in my 2013 dodge challenger, this is a unbranded unit,
I have been trying to get my SWC to work.
I can enter a "Factory settings menu" with the Password "126" this allowed me to change logo etc.
there are many options under canbus settings in this menu under "Applications"
Mine is currently set to jeep (union) there are other options ie jeep hiworld , Chrysler and many others.
I have searched for posts that explain these menu,s with no success.
My handbrake canbus radio interface works OK but not the SWC.
can I do any harm trying other settings?
The supplier of the radio just tells me to hook up key1 and key 2 wire and ground, however my radio installer
tells me these are only for resistive touch buttons.
The unit was supplied and installed with a canbus adaptor.
Can anyone help me or point me to a thread that explains this.
Thanks Mike

Its a HuiFei type unit (its not unbranded - there are about 10 brands), read the HuiFei thread.

Most steering controls work by sending a certain voltage down the wire that your head unit interprets. Like 160 mhz is play/pause while 190 mhz is volume up. (those numbers arent accurate, but you should get the jist). This type of controls is a direct analog type and what the chinese units use to intrepret your control data.
Some cars,I'm guessing yours is one of them, use a digital signal that can't be interpreted by the analog wires that come from harness. You'd need an SWC interface as a go between for your car and HU.

Or a CAN Bus adapter from the manufacturer of his unit. but as I said earlier all the info he needs is in the HuiFei thread . . .

Re Headunit
Thanks guys, so as I interpret this I need a further adaptor additional to the canbus adaptor supplied by the head unit manufacturer.
I would still be interested in finding an explaination of the factory settings menu ,the one you need the password to enter, as I can not find a post on this?

Hi everyone, I need help with my HU. I followed the factory guidance to set up the wiring and installation but my camera lines appears 90 degrees (from the left) instead of the center. I have tried mirroring, no luck. Please see picture. Can someone help me please.

Peugeot 508 aftermarket radio no powering on

Hello!
I have a very strange problem with my android radio in my 508. When I'm trying to connect it with delivered canbus decoder, it's simply not powering on. I tried various combinations with power supply to the unit but without positive result yet. The only way that turns my radio on is bypassing power supply of canbus box and conecting it directly to power in on the unit. I thought that maybe canbus decoder is defective, so I returned it to supplier and received new one...still no success. I have red many manuals and forums but I cannot find the answer how to power on the unit with canbus decoder. I really need it to be connected because I need steering wheel buttons and readings from car computer (like AC, fuel consumption etc.). I know that to maintain it, power supply must be connected to canbus decoder, which triggers signal to power on the unit. Somehow it just doesn't work. I measured voltage on power harness, there is a good reading. I have also readings on canL and canH line. Everything is good on input side to canbus, on output I have zero...just like canbus is not working.
My radio is 1din android 8 unit equipped with canbus decoder:
decoder: MH (PA-SS-05)20180402
SS-PA0503271018-2
For: Peugeot 2008
P/N 1801300412
Software: PSA V2.27 005BYPS
Unit: MCU version: MTCE_MX2_V2.83_1

Please guys help me out because I am fighting with this chinese **** almost 2 weeks now

Hi,
I know it's a long time since your post, but I just installed an Android Head unit in my Peugeot 508 with JBL Sound, and the decoder I received was one for Peugeot 407, maybe that's why it's not working?
Also I cannot see your photos, they are most likely not online anymore.

Help with Chinese Android Headunit XY Auto 8227L (audio problem)

Hey guys,
I've recently bought a 2nd hand car from a private sale, Honda Accord Euro R 2007 which came with those android headunit thing from aliexpress which I've seen few on this website.
However my problem is that when bluetooth is connected, the connection is fine (I can use the headunit to change songs etc) however there is no audio produced from the car speakers when playing through bluetooth.
I can play the radio and sound will come out fine but whenever I try to play something through bluetooth no audio is played, previous owner said when he had it installed from a specialist they couldn't get it working either so was wondering if you guys had any suggestions.
Also i don't know if this is the case for you guys as well but the volume for the radio (the only thing that makes sound currently) when it goes from 0 to 1 it's extremely loud, like it's not a subtle change from no sound to little sound, it just goes from no volume to Very loud as the first option.. is there some firmware update that can fix this problem as well as the bluetooth issue that I am having? Maybe you guys think it's the wiring at the back?
Specs for my headunit are below:
Android: YT9216C_AHD_00005_V004_20190522_HIFI
System: Android 8.1 Go
Kenel: 3.18.22
CAN Pro: Daojun-Accord7 Single-V4.7.2-connect
DDR: 1G
Flash: 16GB
CPU: A7 1.3Ghz x 4
Capacitance: 10000 uF
Display: 1024*600
MCU1: HW8227L-3.3-SW0-3.0
I've also attached photos of the above. Any suggestions or comments will be very helpful as I honestly don't know what to do and before I replace it I would like to try get it working if possible.
Thank you for your time!

If you have an external amp, the blue antenna wire is probably used to turn on the amp. This only has power when using the radio app. You must change the wire over to the red ACC wire so the amp is turned on when the car is started. I had to do this on mine today.

My 8227L unit had an antenna wire with about 10V when the radio app was running... But it also had an amp wire that could be enabled somewhere in settings (amp=on) I think it was in factory settings but I can't really remember.
TboneL's suggested fix should also work just fine.

This would be awsome if I could do that in mine. I have a Peugeot 407 SW with the 8227L Android, and no sound plays whatsoever. As I've read, I need to connect the AMP-C wire coming from the car connector to the ACC red wire. Or if it has a way to achieve this through software, would be great. I searched everywhere in the options but can't find it.

Selecting the right head need unit Help please PX6 or 8257 or Unisoc 7862

Can I get some advice please
I got a basic android headunit years ago and not long after it became very laggy even with basic factory settings so i dint want it to happen again?
Looking to get at least a 4gb+64gb version
The main concern is reliability for as long as possible (as i understand as android updates certain units become obsolete)
But mainly DSP Quality and highest power RCA output for the amplifiers
Plus android auto and apple carplay for phone calls and GPS maps
It will be used in a weekend cruiser car with a old school set up of 2x12" subs and 2 sets of splits with 2 x descent RCA input style amplifiers
These are the models i have come across but not sure if or which one is best choice or should i consider something else?

Can someone help please?

7862 > px6 (11500 benchmark)> 8257 (9000) > px5 (4000)
Benchmark is in brackets. Can't find benchmark for 7862 but it is much better.
Get unisoc 7862

Make sure to check out our blog article talking about PXx and Unisoc units.

Specifically an FYT 7862UIS, such as Mekede/Navifly sell, but ask for screenshots of the system info first after reading the forums and knowing the differences.
After recently purchasing a FYT type 116 sold by "mekede", I would not go back to MTCD type.

MTCx units are best if one plans to run the Malaysk ROM which frankly blows any firmware out of the water.

VW 2009 Multivan canbus problem

Hi i purchased this unit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/[email protected]!!im
for my 2009 VW Multivan, The unit has the PX5 Software with Android 10 and i can't make it to display car information on the head unit, the steering wheel buttons are working fine also when i turn on the car lights, the unit also light's the buttons, meaning there is a CAN communication but i can't make it read information as doors, voltage, AC, etc.
I tried all the VW profiles at factory settings with no luck. Are there any suggestions of how to solve it?
Thanks

Sorry to say, but who told you that the car functions would work?
If I read the text at Ali, there is no single word written about car functions.
That what they offer is working... your steering wheel... nothing else did they offer...

Ok i see, would these functions work with a different canbus decoder?

In most cases the firmware needs to be developed to show the information as an overlay or pop up message.
May be there is someone here who has a VW which shows the information on the screen and you both can compare the content of the firmware and may be you are able to use another firmware from Joying on your unit.
I´m out here, because I don´t have a VW.

By the way...
As this unit is a PX5, you may be wrong in this forum.... May be post a picture of the "About Tablet" where we can see the MCU version of your unit.

@yprat

There are some threads already open in this forum, so try to search for MF1-px5
Nothing I can support with this kind of unit.
