BMW e90 10.25inch screen - android 9 (Help customize it!)

Hi all,
This is my first thread in android head units. And it was a long time ago I was busy with custom roms on phones (Sony xperia) :crying:
But I just bought and installed a Android 9.0 BMW e90 unit in my car

After a week I thought the software should become much better to really enjou the device.
So I make up a list and maybe with the help off others I can get them fixed with apps or actual coding.
- idrive button should work in apps like Google maps/Spotify it only works in the Apps the softwarebuilder created
- when I am in main UI and use idrive button I cannot move from big tiles to sidebar. And if I am on sidebar I can't move to big tiles?
- when I open phone menu my sounds from Spotify or any other music app goes silent. Even when there is no intend to make a call
- you should be able to progam idrive buttons. Like opening Spotify if I push idrive media button.
- Configure steering wheel buttons (example: Speech button on steering wheel I want to launch Google assistent) < now my phone and car are answering on "ok google" at the sime time
- can't the unit switch audio input? Like when I listen FM radio on BMW unit. And android unit receives call it will change input to aux?
- Android is last updated on 2018! That's pretty long time ago. Can we update this ourselves?
Maybe some topic are really easy to answer with it's not possible or there are already apps to do this. Let me know and on each topic I will give a status/update. Hope you can give me input otherwise I would love to get help on how to do this myself. Or where to look.

I would also like to see more activity regarding the BMW units!

Thnx, My first review is that's a lot off talk about latest version but nothing about changing things yourself.
If we wait on our suppliers with updates it would take years. Haha mine said after the weekend I have update.. and then still it was the same haha.

I also have this headunit. Works pretty well except for navi instructions, when google maps speechs the background music is pretty garbled and with a lot of noises. Any hint?

I have the same system, but for an E93 (8,8"). I also had these noises on google maps, but after playing with some settings (under factory settings, aux, rear camera etc.) the noises stopped. maybe it was just a reboot after that.
BTW: I have tried different apps from the playstore to reboot the device directly, without success. Does anyone have a solution that?

For rebooting without root install a Terminal emulator and enter "reboot", all ready made apps require root.
For my rooted device i`m using "Simple reboot" from Play store.

not a solution, but a workaround: boot the unit, start the proprietary mediaplayer, close it, then une google maps and/or your music player. Works like a charm and no background noise. You can set a tasker profile to do the procedure.

Generic head unit fader doesn't function

Hi all,
Just installed an ebay android head unit:
For Kia Optima K5 2011 2015 9 Android 10 1 RAM 2GB ROM 32GB Car Stereo Radio for sale | eBay
Find great deals on eBay for For Kia Optima K5 2011 2015 9 Android 10 1 RAM 2GB ROM 32GB Car Stereo Radio. Shop with confidence.
www.ebay.ca
It of course has the settings page with a sound settings tab where there is then an EQ and a speaker button that opens another page where there is an image of car interior and you can move a dot around to adjust speaker focus. The balance seems to work fine but there is no front to rear change. Had thought it was because i was using a different launcher with poweramp but have since done a factory reset and it also doesn't fade forward or rear using stock launcher and localmusic app.
When I pull the screen down from top there is an amplifier shortcut. Have tried with on or off.
Any other suggestions to try or do these just not actually have a fader ability?

You have to go to factory settings and choose "without amp"

Thank you. Unfortunately I dont seem to have that function to be found. There is an amplifier page in factory options but it only offers level change between 1-100. Made no difference at 1.
I contacted seller and they advise they will send settings file updates to me to load. I thought fader was working when first installed but then stopped after I had installed agama launcher and another music player but cant recall 100%. Will see what seller sends and if fixes the issue. Other than that and the slight hiss at low volume im pretty happy with it for the cost.

No fix from seller yet. File sent thiugh different version # was same issue. Second update wouldn't instal. Waiting on further.
Seems it is also one of the fake info models. Info apps show is just 1Gb Ram not the 2Gb it tries to claim. 8227l it seems from cpu-z info given.
So should I just be rooting and changing ROM? Will that be fixing fader? Or would root and use of that Viper app provide for a fader setting that should function?
Will see what seller does next but I intend to discuss discrepancies found and likely see a partial refund.
Thanks for any further guidance

Do you have a factory amplifier on board?

No speakers are powered by the head unit itself. My car just has the base model stereo. I've seen a walkthrough to load a rooted rom with viper loaded. Just waiting on a male to male usb to arrive so I can connect my laptop and try loading that on

Android seicane h2 and external dac

hey everybody my dad just bought a new seicane
Double din H2 10.0 android
With the DSP add on
It’s in a 2012 Toyota sienna
We had a second there originally and we moved to an Alpine
But he’s giving me the Alpine to throw in another car so he got this new one
Problem is the sub else does not have any sound
Things don’t seem to be working correctly
I’ve seen this as a common issue
But is there any actual fix?
Also is it possible to use an external dac?
I have an audio technica and Berhinger card
Using a separate app to push audio through USB output it works but I want to get android system sound to go through
That way radio Bluetooth and all other sounds are pushed out

Hi, most probably , must change radio chip settings in infotainment hidden /admin menu, there is an option IC type of radio, must change to other chip settings.Try with that first

From what I see there is only a part called extra settings with the password 126
Otherwise I’ve checked everywhere I could

I’m like really struggling lol

What is in factory settings ? Can you make photo of that menu (if it asks pin code try 8888 or what number it is)
And add photo of the menu RADIO in pic nb. 3 please.

"rk3368_user debug" - this is the designation of software update you might look for.
It is most probably on Russian PDA forum. Find & download right software and update device. It might fix the problem. That is one solution.
I'll study more when you get this pic of that radio menu.
P.S. What version of android is it and is it PX5 or PX6 chip?
Look for answers here also - this is for CAN bus and audio control related to alpine: https://www.wranglerforum.com/threa...-premium-sound-in-january-2020.2391881/page-2

Still struggling
For a 2012 Toyota Sienna

Here ya go

Ask your seller for update of system image. If problem is with software not hardware seller must have tyxxxx factory settings update files.

With 0 RAM you won't be able to do anything.

ram is 3gb.

No one here has a crystall ball to know what you unit is, from the hundreds of made up models and brands, that could be different units even from the same seller.
Curious, what does the seller suggest when contacted for support.
Post images of Android system information including mcu version

I think the unit you have is a TS10 Android Head Unit. The model number you mentioned comes up on my Googleplay account as the head unit I have.
If it is then you can update the software on the unit provided it is connected to wifi.

For those who ask, how do I identify my Joying head unit? I only know the following:
SKU: JY-UQD13N6G-R
13.3" Joying
mfr. sprd
model. ums 512_1h10_Natv

I have the same model number on my Atoto A6 head unit.

I have this unit on my Opel Insignia. Fast as hell!

I have this on my IDoing 9in (no idea what it actually is)

Tap Setting -> system -> About ( Something like that ) and take a Screenshoot or photo what your headunit display. and upload here...
Maybe someone who read this thread know or recognize your type of head unit and you can follow up what information you get.

Thanks in front!

I have this one as well. I reached out to the vendor and they sent me an upgrade to Android 13. After downloading it I noticed it was 64kB. After messing around with strings on the file it's of course just a script that changes my version number. I'm still going back and forth with them as I bought this one because it stated it was on 13.
At this point, I'm starting to look for Android Radio ROMS but who knows.... perhaps the vendor will surprise me and send a real update.

What should appear here? Car specific and maybe can bus related data? Maybe can setting is not correct or the head unit is not supporting your car?
What's the sellers suggestion?

You need to ask your seller. They can provide a Lincence.dat file you need to put on the root of head units file system.
