How to change the radio app on an Android head unit

I have bought a non branded Android head unit and would like to change the radio app cause it is way too colorful, I have no idea what as the to do and where to start if anyone can help. Thanks alot, also it looks like my head unit won't connect to my hotspot at all times, I have to turn WiFi off then on for it to work.

Anyone?

wolf1306, "non branded" does not say enough to be able to give an advice. Please post your device data which one can find under Settings -> About tablet (or alike).
As to WiFi hotspot - I had similar experience with Joying 4G/WiFi dongle. Replacing it with Huawei E8372 helped to completely forget about any problem (same SIM).

Android 4.4.4
Could cortex A9
GPU mali-400 mp4
1024x600

So it is not similar to Joying (Intel Atom x3) and using Joying's FWs and additional soft like Radio mods is, as I believe, unlikely. Hope other brand/make users could give further advice.

I have the same prpblem.
In my case the android head unit is a "non branded" chinese one.
- Model Number: AC 8227
- Android version: 5.1.1
- Kernel version: 3.4.35
- MCU version: IAP36/CM02.00.00.02_161223_15:24
As I have googled, tha radio app is linked with the MCU version. As far as I know, you must install a radio app that works with you MCU.
So it is not easy...
Anyone hace ideas?
Thanks in advance

You need to provide screenshots from "About Tablet" or similar, which shows the current installed MCU and Firmware.

This is NOT the same unit. Its a STM32 with Android 11 as visible in your photo... What do you expect here???

I have the problem.
Unfortunately, the radio still doesn't show the name of the station and I can't change the memory location of the station.
With the canbus I had to swap the two cables (7 canrx 13 cantx). Now the display is in the car work and i can see all. With the two sdcarten only the map slot work not work the other. The reversing camera only shows black and white, no more color. no matter what setting.

TBH, I will not download these files...
Who sent you these files? The seller? In this case: Get in contact and tell them that you have issues. If you got these files from elsewhere... Set it back to factory and get in contact with the seller.
BTW: There are a lot of threads about your MCU "STM32", please use the search and read around

Search for the MCU in this forum and tell the seller that you have issues. This unit is quite new... so send the unit back if they are not able to get it running.

Thx.

Fader-Balance not working on 8227L_Demo Head unit

Hi guys,
I have a Chinese Android headunit with the 8227L_Demo chip and the fader-balance is not working. I have the option but when I move the dot around the car image, the sound still plays on all 4 speakers. Also, the EQ settings doesn't seems to change anything. The other bug I have is there a big gap/jump in the volume between 17 and 18 and the sound mute for half a second when I switch from 17 to 18 and vice versa.
Anyone experienced something like that ?

As I can't upload any image here I write all the info of my headunit.
Android: YT9213AJ_00011_V001_20200330
Android OS: 9.1
XY AUTO: 3.2 (8227L)
CAN PRO: 3.1 (8227L)
DDR: 1G
FLASH: 16G
CPU: A7 1.3Ghz x 4
Display: 1024*600
MCU: 3.1 (8227L)

me too, same problem. my unit is Blaupunkt key largo 970 but CPU-Z and some other in system hidden settings confirm that this unit is alps_ 8227L_Demo.
can you share your Equalizer.apk app?

plz help me i cant use sound fader , the sound too loud behind me and it disturbing mz

Hello Guys, I don't have any solution, but I have the same issue. Fader doesnt work. As far as I know, this is not because of the HU but the Harness. I have a JBL System and I had to buy an extra harness which doesnt allow me to use FADER.
My 2 cents.

can you show us picture please

I'm afraid guys, there is no solution. The reason it doesn't work is that your unit does not have a dedicated audio chip. Older units all had it, like YT9216, YT9217, YT9218, and even (older) YT9213AJ. If you buy Android 8.x or 9.x then the audio chip will be present.
See the pictures below explaining the issue.
The audio chip is TDA7729 (TDA7719 , CSC37033 , SCS37534).
Now there is a fix but it requires advanced soldering skills and a proper setup.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Chinese Android Auto - 8227L

Dear community,
Thank you for letting me posting this here. First of all I want to tell you that this is my first post here and I choose your forum as I found here a lot of answers in the past.
I just got into Android Auto head units and I've started as all the newbies with a Chinese one.
As I cannot post the pictures here and I'm not allowed to post the imagur link, after imagur dot com you can do /a/pXNlVgJ to check my headunit.
Main details:
MCU 3.1 (8227L)
CAN Pro 3.1 (8227L) - I have a question here, when I switch on the ignition looks like the unit is already up and running, will this draw my battery? I think canbus is not working or so? (Chevrolet Spark 2012 - M300)
Android os Android 10.1
XY Auto 3.3 (8227L)
Android: YT8213AJ_00011_V001_20200421
CPU A7 1.3Ghz x 4
DDR 2G
FLASH 16G
Display 1024*600
About vehicular platform (android settings, where you enable dev console on phone):
Model number: 8227L_demo
Android version: Android 10.1 (even with Oreo easter egg)
Android security patch level: November 5, 2017

Could you maybe teach me some tips and tricks? I wanted to change the light from the left (I saw it on youtube to others) from White to Cyan to match my car design and also the Home Screen maybe with something cyan (if I change the wallpaper it only affects the menu). Maybe I can remap the "Music" from Home Screen to go to Spotify instead of "localmusic" app? Should I use other launcher? This will affect performance? I can see that I have Android 10.1 but security patch level Nov 2017?? I'm sure that is something wrong with it, I tried to change the colors from the Factory Settings (found around here the code 8888 to enter and others actually could do something about it).
TLR - I want it with Waze at Navigation (I already managed that), Music to open Spotify and I want it to be cyan (to match car color scheme) and I'm really fine with it!
Thank you for your time!

You can make this unit fully customizable by rooting it.

I have the Cruze Tesla Style. How can you change the KM to MPH and Celsius to Farenheit? My one unit has the settings in Protocol Perimeter Settings but the unit I got my nephew has no setting for this but man, his sounds so much better with factory speakers than my unit does with almost 700.00 worth of speakers.

how can you customize with root? Are you able to do it? I've rooted but nothing else

I'd like to root mine but I'm about half afraid I'll brick it. I've seen some pretty cool stuff on the Russian board. It looks amazing but I don't know if I'm confident enough to try it.
My unit is a Tesla Style Headunit with the YT9213B program. I've tried to install updates, etc and everything I've tried says that it is not applicable for my radio. I just want the new settings in Perimeter Protocol Settings so I can change my Celsius and KM to Farenheight and MPH. I have a board I got for free on Facebook but the guy who had it really messed it up when he tried to install a new amp chip. Anyone on here from US who could repair the board?

Hi everyone. I have 8227l demo android headunit in my car running on android Go 8.1. It has 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM (have verified that it really has these specs). All apps run fine but Google Maps app works very slow, lags too much. Kindly anyone guide me how to fine tune the headunit for a better & smooth speed of Google Maps working. Thanks

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".
