steering wheel control buttons remapping - Android Head-Units

I have a universal android head unit with Allwinner T3 processor. I’m not sure about the MCU, it mentions MCU version: 20180426-1-KC1-18.
I want to use another Music app and I tried poweramp. The only issue is that I cannot use the steering wheel buttons for previous/next song.
I don’t think its a poweramp issue. I used the preinstalled app called "Wheel" (SWC.apk) to assign an action on each button. The next/previous buttons are working with the stock Music app and Radio app. When I use poweramp the buttons are useless. If radio app was running before opening poweramp, I get a momentarily mute on each button press (next/previous). If I go back to the radio I see that the frequency has changed by the buttons. The same thing is happening with the rotary encoder on the head unit. So the buttons are working but they are not assigned as real next/previous buttons. The probably perform another internal action.
Is it possible to change their behaviour so they perform as previous/next and change the track on 3rd party Apps?
My device is rooted. The steering wheel buttons are not connected with canbus, they are connected on head unit key pins.

try to check with different music player (e.g. AIMP, JetAudio, etc.)
Different players react differently on different ways to send FF/prev/play/pause buttons (whether it is broadcast intent or MediaKey event).
BTW, ever tried NWD key app? I don't have problems on Joying/SoFIA HU, but you can try http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=899753 - there it is mentioned, that it is for T3 HUs.

Joying 2gb - Steering wheel control issue when pressing next button

I have a Joying JY-UL135N2. Newest updated installed. I have a 2015 Camry and I have the steering wheel controls mapped and working. Problem is that when I press the next button on the steering wheel it opens other music apps. For instance if I am using Pandora and click next on the steering wheel Spotify, Tidal or BlackPlayer will open and start playing. This happens within any music app I have installed when I click next. This even happens after a restart and when I have only opened a single music app. This is basically making steering wheel controls only good for volume up or down. Anyone else experience this issue or know how to fix it?

Sounds like it's mapped to the media button. What does the "Previous" button do? Under "Car Settings" you can remap steering wheel controls so give that a try.
i had the same problem after updating to the February Update. Only Factory Reset solved my problem.

Did you install @gustdens "steering wheel cutomization Sofia server"?
If the answer is yes, then that is probably your "issue" as the keys are remapped.
@mad212 hey I will be installing a joying universal intel 2gb soon in my 2014 camry and I have a few questions.
-Did you have a orange canbus box attached to your harness? How did you wire it to have steering wheel control work?
-Do you have door open/close feedback?
-Do you have Fuel info and Tire pressure info on the joying head unit?
Thank you!

I did not receive an orange canbus box with my head unit. I bought from Amazon so I didn't have the option to request it. I assume I would need this canbus box to get the door open/close function and tire pressure stuff to display. I actually don't really care if I can see that info or not. As far as steering wheel controls I use a Metra ASWC-1 for that.

I have fixed this issue by installing @gustden steering wheel key customization script. The next button now works as it should.

Need help rooting headunit. (1din pop out display)

This thing has no home button and I can't figure out how to get this to recovery mode.
Does anyone have experience with this headunit?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074J7D98W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I want to change the volume knob click function to the home button. And get Amazon music to work with the front skip button controls since they currently only work with the radio and music app.also af ew other things like nav volume ratio to music when it plays over it. for some reason this head unit settings is very limited.

[Radio][Joying] Issues with New JY-VQ131N4GN

Hi all,
I posted this in the Joying forum but have had no success so figured I'd try my luck here too.
I just installed a Joying JY-VQ131N4GN Android 10 unit with newest firmware shipped into my '14 VW Passat with Fender Audio. Here are some of the issues I am running into and hope other people that may have experienced/solved these problems can help. I purchased the Can bus option for my vehicle and it was supposed to be plug and play.
1. Rear speaker output is very low for all output types (radio, android auto, BT audio, etc.). When fader setting is moved all the way to the rear, I get no sound at all from the rears. I don't know if this is due to the headunit or the Fender DSP located in the car's amp. I messed with the volume balance in the factory menu but I didnt notice any difference. I ordered a 12v bench tester and will test the speaker outs directly from the headunit soon.
2. The Joying supplied BT Music app/shortcut sends you to the BT phone app when used in a launcher. Sometimes it does this even when using the native launcher/UI.
3. I am unable to set custom steering wheel control buttons within the unit. It says to "hold down button to learn" or something like that but when I hit (and hold) any button it just does what the original button normally does (I am trying to change the phone button on the steering wheel to play/pause).
4. Hand brake sensor is backwards, when the handbrake is off, the headunit says it is activated and vice versa.
5. The unit won't switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit even after changing it in the setting menu. However, car launcher pro does allow switching to Fahrenheit but the top of the screen still reads Celsius regardless.

Looking to get this exact head unit. Did you ever overcome these issues?

Ford Fiesta 2010 Android unit caused some problems

Hello there all, I recently installed an android head unit from AliExpress, and everything went well until I first noticed that non of the buttons on the wheel worked. I saw many posts about this, but I didn't mind as I really didn't use it much. However, I got a professional to install the reversing camera that came with the head unit and try fixing the steering wheel's buttons. Because the professional attempted to fix the buttons for the steering wheel, he caused non of the buttons below the head unit to work (e.g. radio, the numbers, and turning the circle to try and change the volume). The "professional" was only able to get 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel to work (volume up and down, but you have to hold it down for like 5 seconds before it works), and when I tried to get back to him, they didn't respond. Also some reason, the volume will randomly mute every now and then (e.g. listening to music and the volume goes to 0).
I have seen many other threads about checking fuses and removing the battery for 10 minutes; however, I was wondering if there may be other fixes you guys may have that may help before attempting the battery method.
I would also like to say that I'm not overly confident working with or in cars. However, if there is a video or a simple explanation on how to do the fix, that would help make me feel confident.

edit: I have checked both 15amp and the 7.5amp and they were both fine.

Have you set the right car in the CAN-settings menu?
Clarify if your steering wheel buttons are provided via CAN or resistor related. (Car dealer)

I have set the CAN-settings to what the seller provided from AliExpress.
However, I think the steering wheel buttons are functional by resistors/resistance. (e.,g. wiring of KEY1, KEY2 and KEY GND).
I have a feeling that the "professional" may have done something to the wiring or such just to get the steering wheel buttons to work but in the process, he has made the radio control panel buttons not work anymore.
My main focus is just to fix the radio control panels (the picture below) as I use those way more than any other buttons on the steering wheel.

The radio control panel is provided by the CAN.
As no one knows what they did to the wiring, any help with it is no possible. You need to talk with the "professional" to get this fixed.
In your case about the SW buttson are connected to the resistor cales, you just need to search for the related app to set them. This is no automatism. May be you need to search for the SW in the settings. As I don´t know your system, I am not able to provide more help here.
Edit: You may test some other CAN-settings, may be they changed something and this leads to the issue with the radio buttons.

I get that, I don't really care about the SW buttons. I'm mainly just more focused on trying to figure out the radio control panel. I'm confused because the radio control panel stopped working as I had the "professional" help. Also, it's hard to talk with them again as they gave just left me on read for about 2 weeks now (from Airtasker).
I'll have another look tomorrow deeper into the CAN-settings, and will message the AliExpress seller for some help as I remember they said a problem like this might occur without the correct CAN-settings as you mentioned as well.
