Mazda 3 Canbus dilemma - Android Head-Units

Hi guys ,
just installed a Chinese 9" Head Unit in my Mazda 3 2011 sedan, unfortunately the steering wheel multi function doesn't work at all.
the unit is based on 9218 motherboard and work with Android 8.1, with 2GB of ram and 32 GB flash memory.
i tried to set up the can bus from factory settings but what ever i tried to do nothing is working.
oddly the same can bus, with the same wiring harness works very normally with another and similar head unit (belong to my friends car) but with 1GB ram and 16GB Memory.
my question is (beside find a solution to the problem) Can I use this can bus with any head unit? .. of course with the correct settings.
and what is needed to run a can bus with specific head unit?

I just wanted to say thanks to the forum here. I recently purchased a 2002 VW Passat. I have a pile of parts building up in the trunk. Still waiting on the HU cage and Axxess ASWC-1. It looks like I won't be able to get to the install until next weekend.

Chinese Headunit Canbus

Hello...
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this or not so apologies.
I've just bought and installed a chinese Android Auto head unit into my Ford S Max. I think the unit is an XY Auto 3.1 8227L, nothing on the box but this is what is specced in the system info. I've purchased a Connects2 Canbus adapter to use with this so that i can retain steering controls etc.
Everything is all wired up correctly and working but I can't find Connects2 in the Canbus setup list or a Ford S Max under any of the other canbus manufacturers. Does anyone know how I can sort this out?
Other issue is that I no longer get my parking sensor beeps - does this go through the canbus as well?
Not fitted a aftermarket unit in years so no real experience with canbus setup.
Thanks
You need to have a look at the right forum... I asked a mod to move your posting to the right one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units

External microphone for head unit from Aliexpress (A7 1.3GHz, Mali-400, Android 8.1)

edit: I had to replace links with search terms
Hi,
one year ago I bought and installed this android head unit from aliexpress for my Suzuki Liana:
Android system 2.5D 9 Inch car multimedia player for Suzuki LIANA 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010-2013 car radio vehicle gps navigation
Some stats: Android 8.1, CPU: A7 1.3GHz, GPU: Mali-400, RAM 1GB, ROM 16GB, Radio Chip: NXP 6851, Amplifier: AC 7315 4*45W
Everything (even including they steering wheel buttons) works fine only the internal microphone is virtually useless. I read that some head units have really cheap and weird cable-ling going through the Bluetooth module. It also just be the cars vibrations transmitted in the head unit casing. Anyhow, the microphone as it is, and thereby any google assistant functions, are non functional. Unfortunately the head unit does not have any jack for an external microphone.
I saw that several people redo the wiring and solder an external microphone in the head unit. I would like to avoid this, since I am not that familiar with electronics and I am not keen on disassembling my dashboard (again).
I read that some people with similar problems connected a external USB sound card to their radio to get around this. I bought an external card and a microphone on amazon (Sabrent USB External Soundcard and augustcoco Microphone 3.5 mm External Microphone). I tried it on both USB ports of the head unit but nothing changed.
I have 2 questions:
1) Does anyone has an idea to make an external microphone on this head unit work?
2) If the USB soundcard would work, can I only use its input (microphone) and keep the output sound from the head unit? I do not want to change the output, since I can not reroute it back from the soundcard to the head unit.
Thank you for your support!

[RESOLVE] Kia Rio 2011 Navifly 7862 android 10. car speedometer disabled

Hello,
After installing my android head unit ( Navifly 7862 android 10 4gb/64gb ), when I drive, my speedometer remains at 0.
it seems that there is no option in the menu to activate it.
Maybe it's a wiring problem.
otherwise everything else works fine

after some research and wiring checks. One of the wires from the universal connector was poorly wired.
The blue wire was connected to the wrong input.
is this navifly device good build quality?
Can you give a review about it.
I'm interested because it seems to have good radio chip (TEF6686), good cpu, functionality, etc but...
Since I have a Bosion with px6 cpu, fake android 10 and a few problems with sound quality, radio quality, steering wheel buttons, I'm disapointed with it.
Thank you

Unknown Android headunit. Who helps?

Hi guys,
I have owned different MTCD headunits (all px 3/5).
For my new car I ordered a 64/4 headunit but it seems like it's a different chipset etc.
As I have a few problems with is and the seller isn't respnding (yet) I'll hope you can help me identify the unit so I can update firmware/mcu etc
Cons:
Biggest issue: GPS is not working. Because of that the time and date are off. If adjusting it manually it stays on the time and date from where the unit gets to sleepmode and won't adjust untill manual adjustment.
I have a annoying humming sound in the OEM subwoofer. It wasn't there with the Kenwood headunit that was installed before this one. Still can't solve it. It also humms when the RCA aren't attached so it seems a power input issue to the amp of the subwoofer. Still figuring out what to do about it.
Pros:
It seems to have wireless Android Auto besides wireless Carplay. It was not advertised but when I put on my hotspot from my mobile, it autostarts Android Auto on the headunit. Very nice!
Bought on Hipzo store (Aliexpress).
CPU INFO: UIS8581A (Octa 1.6GHZ)
MCU: 2021.12.10 15:04:26 NOR_53_L6315_G23P48F64_V:1.0
Android 11 (not sure, seems like Android 10 because of buildnumber)
buildnumber: QP1A.190711.020
System info: APP 1024x600 2021-12-11
Any help is appreciated.
Hello,
Could you share the findings about this head unit?
I have the same head unit, except for CPU and display resolution. I am still trying to understand what is the version which is compatible with this head unit.
Any info is well appreciated.
