I recently installed an android head(from Idoing) unit in my 2016 WRX. The unit has a wheelkey study function which works fine with my steering wheel controls but doesn't allow you to have short and long press capabilities to program different functions. It also doesn't provide an option of programming a back/home button on the steering wheel.
My question is, is there any way to install a different wheelkey study app that would allow me to do so? I used to have a Seicane head unit which did all this in their wheel key study app.

I would like to make my mode button on my Titan's Steering Wheel to open the Voice Control app on my Joying head unit. Anybody figure out how to do stuff like this?
Evening all.
I have an xtrons 4.4 HU, it's fitted with a canbus decoder in and Audi A4.
The HU came with the steering wheel controls preset, I've tried to map them to add my own touch but I can't. When I go into the steering wheel control option, I operate a key and he screen does not recognise this, I've also tried highlighting a button then trying to use a steeeing wheel button and it still doesn't recognise it.
What ami missing guys? All the YouTube and Google tutorials say to do it how I am!
Thanks.
I have the same issue on a 2012 Mazda 3, the head unit only recognizes a direct voltage input from the steering wheel buttons, yours is probably controlled by the CANBUS, with the head unit, there should be 2 wires (Key1 and Key2), they should be connected to the car wiring I believe. Please wait for someone with more experience to confirm.

From what I've read they are connected through canbus but I have no idea how to work around this. Thanks.
Anyone? Tried downloading the rk1188 headunit app but it does nothing!
interested about!
Anyone please?
Hello all,
I'm having trouble finding a solution to this, not sure if this is where to ask but its worth a shot. I have an Intel Airmont Joying head unit, the one with physical buttons. Its running android 8.1 I believe. I use apple carplay through Zlink. I also use joyings universal steering wheel controls add-on since I dont have built in ones (I cant post links yet but google those exact words to find it, its a circle lookin thing) . I'd like to be able to map it to Zlinks controls (siri, left, right,home, etc), but I'm unable to. Under Joyings built in steering wheel controls mapper I can map it to universal play/pause etc for the head unit itself, but when I enter the Zlink control learning they dont work. Any ideas what to do? Apologies if that was confusing, I can clarify if needed. Thanks!
Update: 10th Feb 2021
Got the zbox2 working with all my steering wheel controls including voice button mapped to siri.
Basically i decompiled the apk and intercept certain key-codes and changed them to the key-code zbox2 needs to trigger Siri.
Basic Steps:
1) Decompile with apktool / jadx-gui
2) Change mainActivity methods onKeyDown & onKeyUp so if keycode 86 is pressed it's substituted for keycode 1500.
When i get time i'm going to try and map the mode steering wheel button to cycle through maps, nowplaying etc which should be possible.
Context First:
i've got a px6 unit running android 9 with a canbus decoder in my mk2 audi tt.
The unit came without carplay and i've used various carplay dongles over the years and had a wireless carlinkit dongle from a previous car so decided to use that.
However using the autokit app for the carlinkit dongle i've always had audio delays on phone calls of around 2 seconds so you end up talking over each other. this is both with my current and previous head units. The dongle firmware and software is up to date using the built in updater.
Autokit works great i even managed to map all steering wheel buttons inc siri for use in Autokit its just the audio delay problem.
In regards to trying to solve my audio delay problem i bought a zbox z2 wireless carplay dongle which uses the zbox app http://www.zjinnova.com/article-34185-44239.html and the audio delay is almost not noticable basically at the level of a normal carkit.
The problem is that all the steering wheel controls work out of the box apart from siri as the zbox app has no facility to remap keys like in the autokit app (see bottom of post). Zbox only recognises the standard android media keys.
In summary i need some help?
Q: Anyone had audio delay issues on carlinkit for phone call and found a solution?
(my carlinkit dongle is from when they first released them a few years ago, i did think a newer hardware revision might help).
Q: Anyone with a zbox 2 manage to get steering wheel controls working for Siri?
Zbox 2 what ive tried so far:
Decompiled zbox 2 apk to find that it does listen to a few custom keycode events
1500 - open siri
1504 - open map
1505 - open phone
1507 - open now playing
Issued keycode event over adb while zbox is open and siri does activate.
adb shell input keyevent 1500
using tasker and autoinput together to try and grab the key that is mapped to the voice button (stop button see autokit belor for why). unsuccessful - the key doesnt get grabbed by tasker.
used tasker and media button state of stop key to then issue a shell command to send keyevent - unsucessful the key does get grabbed and issues the command but siri does not activate in the zbox app. maybe becuase i'm not root ?
next steps:
Asking for help on here?
Look at modifiying mtcd tools to send custom keyevent for siri as this does recognise the steering wheel keys being pressed but is currently limited to only send keyevents for android media keycodes.
How to map steering wheel keys in Autokit for Siri:
in wheelkeystudy app set steering wheel voice command button to stop button, needs to be these as then autokit can recongnise it.
in autokit goto advanced settings and go into key learning and the voice command button will be able to be mapped.

I'm curious about the autokit app Siri mapping. I'm using a Yulu 9853i Android head unit, so a little different. I'm having a hard time getting Siri to work with SWC voice button. The built in wireless Zlink works with SWC voice button, but zlink doesn't like to start everytime. So I am trying a USB dongle that has Autokit. Which I was trying to figure out if I touch the siri button on head unit, then activate the SWC button twice like it says etc. But nothing happens. I had a feeling the button is being reserved by another app or the head unit voice software. Sounds like you figured that out? Did auto kit recognize it right away after setting to stop button? Or have to reinstall Autokit app? I don't think I have a stop button on my F150 steering wheel. TIA!

i didnt need to reinstall autokit theres a possibility your head unit maps swc buttons in android differently then mine. although if you have sucessfully mapped the stop button to your steering wheel controls if you go into any music player app and music is playing it should stop the music.
all i did was as stated below:

Hello everyone!
After many complications (not correct wiring, canBus), I was able to install this Android unit, the Chinese are not very helpful! (I don't understand why the Escape model, even though it's a common model doesn't appear in the CanBus list, I chose the Kuga model instead, but..
Here are my problems:
- the steering wheel controls regarding telephony, voice commands, home, it is impossible to make them work, despite trying to get them recognized.
- (and now I don't know why the forward and backward controls have no effect when listening to a piece of music, from the steering wheel or the controls of the Chinese console, while it worked some time ago!) When pressing one of these keys, the same piece of music is played again! (on the other hand with the radio stations, it works).
- the central locking control on the chinese console does not respond as well!
** Who has a 2013 Ford Escape please!? **
The Chinese answered me as if customers with this same model would have managed to make everything work! that's what they tell me. To be verified!
thanks
