Hi,
I have one of the cheap Chinese Android 9.0 headsets with the PX6 Octa-core Processor 1.5 GHz RK3399 (Radio Chip NXP 6686). The model is Fongent Car Android 9.0 Radio Multimedia Player PX6 4G RAM 64G ROM.
The problem I have with it is that the radio will not stay on any station that I choose. Everytime, I switch to a programmed station, it starts to scans after like 10 second and always stops on the first station in memory that it had found. It is getting very annoying now. I tried to fiddle around with the AF TA PTY settings but that didn't do anything.
Anyone has experience with this radio app? Is there another one I can use that doesn't need internet connection to use and can use the antenna?
Please help!
Thank you.
Somewhere in the radio settings you must also select the correct region: japan/europe/etc.
Did you do that?

Yep, i had to do this on mines when i first got it. it was still set to China. Also if you flash the wrong MCU file it could also cause this issue.

I didn't flash anything. The unit is as it came from the factory. I did change the region to US. The radio has automatically programmed different stations under P1, P2, P3, etc all the way to P18 I think. But always stops at 88.7 New station. Even if I choose a different station like P5 or whatever...I get to listen to that station for like 5 seconds or whatever and then it starts to scan and then stop at 88.7! So frustrating. To the point, I just want to use a different FM app for this. But I don't know of any that uses the FM radio to broadcast instead of looking for an internet connection. I am not looking for internet radio.

It happened to me with some radio stations, I solved the problem by turning off the TA.
First question did you contact your seller about this? When you do get to listen to a station does it sound clean? Are you moving or parked? Can you manually tune in or enter a station frequency and see if it starts to scan again? It's possible your car has an amplified antenna and it needs a power injector. Otherwise I'd say something is wrong with the radio and you should send it back.

No I did not contact the seller in China about this. Yes the station sounds clean and clear. I have tried it while parked and/or moving. It doesn't make a difference. Yes I can manually move the tuner to a different station and it plays for a few second and then again starts to scan. It does NOT stay in a particular station other than 88.7. Everything was ok with the stock stereo that came with the car. Is there only on radio app on Android 9.0? Can I not try a different radio app to see if that work? Mailing the unit back would be more hassle that it is worth. To me it is a software issue or some settings/tweaks that needs to be made.
Well I understand that shipping back to China is less than ideal, but your seller is better placed to help you than any of us especially with the little bit of information you provided. Best case they can give you an MCU update that could fix the problem or at the very least work with you to adjust settings in the service menu. Or they may realize the MCU is defective and send you a replacement. The only alternative radio apps I know of are only for MTC MCU. Yes the radio chip is controlled by the MCU so you're not likely to find a generic radio app.

I was considering this HU for my 2016 VW Polo since I don't care much about having a DVD slot. The title for this HU says DVD but it doesn't sport a drive. Though the spec seems good (RK3188) and the price isn't much either I didn't find any reviews or information about this HU on XDA (or outside).
There are couple of places this is being sold from Ali express to GearBest and also on their own website.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this one? Specifically I was looking for community support (root, custom firmware). Since this sports a RK3188 chip can other ROMs be used on this? Also the HU has a very thin form factor (compared to other HUs) - so would heat be an issue?
Who knows?
It doesn't have a volume control knob, if you can live with that. Personally, on screen adjustments for volume, track selection, "back," and on/off is very unhandy and annoying. You can't just reach up and adjust it with out looking. Also the volume steps of the touch controls are not always small enough to set a precise level. These units, with no US contacts or service, are a pain if you need something. Carjoying is in the US and quite responsive. Updates are also made.....who knows about those other relatively unknown products. They may never update and may no work with other software. I have never seen a 9" screen wonder if the thin bezel is just a half inch smaller and uncovering the edges of an 8" panel. This is just conjecture but perhaps worth considering.

Thanks for the response. I ended up placing an order for this unit instead. I dropped the other one mainly due to there being hardly any orders and reviews. I also did not get any proper responses from the sellers regarding that unit - probably since its new and they are themselves unaware of its features/fit. I agree about the support issues but I also had a tight budget and as long as it works fine :fingers-crossed: I should be OK. Importing these into India attracts a sizable customs duty The unit I bought costed me about $190 shipped via FedEx so I expect the customs would be proportionately lower.
Regarding the volume I have steering wheel controls which should serve the purpose of physical buttons. Though I agree that having a knob is more convenient I also kind of like the flush surface of these full touch units - lesser issues of dust settling.
I will post an update here once I get the unit and install it. BTW the reviews for this on AliExpress are excellent - would love to hear from anyone already owning this. I asked the seller about rooting and custom firmware (kind of essential for android units) but didn't hear anything positive This lack of support and the fact that this is an AllWinner solution (R16 QuadCore Cortex A7) were the only two drawbacks I saw in it (given its price).
How to root Junsun Android 4.4.4
I purchased this unit also from gearbest and like some things about it, but question other things.
The good:
1. The unit is ridiculously thin for a car stereo. There is no CD/DVD player
2. Sound is actually decent. Little difference from the stock unit
3. The home page with rotating icons is cool and different. I can also put a live wallpaper behind it
4. Mirroring app works ok, but I'd rather tether.
5. I can play videos and music on a USB flash drive
The bad:
1. I can't launch other apps and listen to music at the same time. (i.e. when I load Google Maps, radio stops)
2. No native capability to bluetooth tether. USB tethering with EasyTether also didn't work.
3. There are no microsd inputs like other Chinese Android units I've see thus far. I can connect a USB drive to 2 available connectors routed from the back of the unit. This isn't necessarily bad. Just requires different process for rooting that's TBD.
4. Instructions are only in chinese. Don't know who really makes this device, or how to get their technical support. So far, gearbest has provided some answers, but they're far from accurate!
So that said, I'd like to root and install some different apps and drivers that might make USB or bluetooth tethering possible. And that might allow me to listen to radio or USB music or Pandora while I have something else like Torque or Waze running.
Here are settings from the unit:
OS Version/Build Version: JAX1602191130G-WQ-16EN
MCU Version: 201512161416-SLX7786-GEN
CPU Model: RKPX3
Android: 4.4.4
There is also a 'system' page, where I can go to advanced, press 1234 as the password (found it through trial and error) . A screen is then available to upgrade MCU or firmware. However, I don't know where the files should be placed for this screen to register them.
Any pointers on process to root this and/or install something like Malaysk Firmware? Thanks!

This is really bad since it defeats the whole purpose of an Android-based HU. Are you using the stock music app or trying something you installed?

I think all these units restrict the bluetooth to the MCU and is generally not available to other apps. Though I am not sure how Torque works.

This is a problem with most Chinese purchases - informed support is almost non-existent. However since you have an RK3188 based unit I think some of the support threads here may match your unit (at least partially). First try to get into the extra setting menu using the passwords given in the RK3188 threads and rooting as well. You need to find the thread that matches best to your unit/firmware based on trying out the various settings/tweaks. Don't flash anything till you are certain you are in the correct support thread. All the best!

I am sure that this is some soft/firmware restriction. Android 4.4 has a native support of multitasking, so it should be by default in any of core versions of this OS. Main problem that I didn't find any resources where this issue was resolved.

This is really awful - how can they sell a "Android" HU with such limitation? You should give the seller an earful and a bad review for the unit so they are forced to fix it!
I have the same unit also , the camera doesn't show when I am in reverse mode , the steering wheel don't work with the radio, rkpx3 model
I need to know what MCU is installed on this unit . Someone has any clues ?
You can have a glance at this Pumpkin HU for VW, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pumpkin-Android-Navigation-Subwoofer-Multimedia/dp/B01D30XDXY/
Lol. Even on the official video where this HU was demonstrated , MCU version is 'unknown' ))) http://screencast.com/t/RnQxbkAZBaWX

I bought this device.
The menu is exactly the same, firmware is the same: JAX1603281325G-WQ-16EN.
There's a microSD slot on the front panel.
MCU version: 201601251011-SLX7786-GEN .
Built-in player and radio can not work in the background, and this is the biggest trouble. There is not a full solution is to install third - party players who know how to work in the background, for example: BlackPlayer. But unfortunately, in third-party players do not switch tracks from the steering buttons. Adjust the volume and MUTE works as it should, because these buttons are programmed for the entire system. I liked that as a quick call navigation, you can assign any button on the steering wheel and choose any app.
The unit is decent, especially for the price. But such silly mistake with a built-in player and radio can wipe out all the pluses. Wrote to the seller, promised to talk to the engineer, perhaps
Typo?

No. I have already found it when disassembled this HU. Its located on left edge of device. You can use it to flash ROM , or like normal SD... Now I working with stock firmware, trying to solve all issue mentioned in this thread. Its not so easy... bcz this MCU and firmware are not usual for this type of HU, and I didn't worked with this OS before ).

I noticed that the built-in player and radio do not have the manifest permissions to change the audio system settings ("modify audio settings"). Using APKEditor added this line to manifest, but to save, unfortunately, did not work, because I get the error message: the program is already installed and is missing a digital signature. If necessary I can put the modified and the original source code of the apk "music" and "radio"... Now are struggling with receiving the digital signature, the idea is APK Editor must sign the modified apk with the native signature. Apparently, there is some protection.
n the process of using the device revealed the following shortcomings (about the first two already written):
1. Not running in the background built-in music player . That is, when playing music you can't use Navigator. You have to use one or the other.
2. Not running in the background built-in radio programme. That is, while playing the radio you can't use Navigator. You have to use one or the other.
3. Not running in the background audioclub built-in bluetooth . That is, when playing music from phone via bluetooth you can't use Navigator. So you have to use one or the other.
4. After the completion of the incoming call via the bluetooth Protocol SOMETIMES falls off the sound of the entire device. Most likely, the audio service bluetooth does not give audio device. You have to reboot the head unit by switching off the ignition.
5. I really want the joystick on the steering wheel could switch tracks on ALL the audio players and not just on the built.
6. Lost sound player and radio when you lock the screen (press on the power button), which is very inconvenient at night, since I want to eyes did not detract.
7. It is unclear how sync contacts via bluetooth. Some appear, some don't.
I received from the seller working firmware, music is now able to work together with NAV. If anyone needs - let me know.

You don't give enough info so I can only give a general answer. On some of the older Android 5.1 units this happened when using google Maps in combination with the radio app in the background. The later 5.1.1 firmwares or updates to 6.0.1 solved this issue.

Like mentioned before: Did you use the horizontal menu bar at the bottom to swipe left/right to activate the several RDS options and to use the settings (gear) in that bar to activate RDS and Europe band?
Radio reception could be that your antenna needs an amplifier. That depends on the car.
Only for @mclaudio: Please unzip the attached zip to a clean FAT32 formatted usb-disk/sd-card. you should have an Allapp.pkg and lsec6521update. Put it in your unit. It will flash my Joying radio mod to your unit. I renamed the radio app to the format your unit is using (other users: ONLY flash this to your unit if your radio app IS called 190001002_com.syu.radio.apk (and/or if you have a Sinosmart). Check the numbers up front correctly. It is not for a Joying)

Any one else know of these units, I cant even find a contact address for the seller?
new to forums, can't post pic but details are;
MCU ver: 023055dGS-CCC-GTL-DC-200805A
APP ver: Ksw-q-Userdebug_OS_v2.0.9
System ver: 10-8953EA-1
Is there later/better firmware?
Main issue I have is that often the sound when playing music from USB or SDcard is crackly and bluetooth will not stay connected unless set to Bluetooth calling is turned on even though I'd rather use the cars factory bt calling and just want to have BT music through the android unit.
not sure how to sort the bt calling but to sort the poor audio try lowering the volume output of the android device just a little, the of course use your car's volume control to make it as loud as you wish.

I purchased from this seller as well. Although I got the NBT version. Unfortunately, CCC versions are known for their issues with sound. The only solution is to modify hardware - dramatically. It's not Ebilaen's fault, however - there are simply no good, out-of-the-box Android Head Units for BMW CCC.
You need to check Bimmer forums etc. I think the closest solution is to buy an Android Auto unit. It won't give you the full Android experience but it might be enough for what you need.
Hello, I have exactly the same problem. can you give me the pin code of factory settings? I have tried with a whole list and nothing, I cannot access.

Hi,
hello, i bought this radio from aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000620695689.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.421e4c4dx9cnJf / MT8227L 4-Core Android 10 2GB+32GB (Radio IC: ST7708, Amp IC: AC 7315, DSP normal)) but the concerns turned out:
1) First, the radio always turns on for a long time (as if the memory is cleared. While the radio channels are still there).
2) Searching for a gps signal takes a very long time.
3) The radio loses the signal in the meantime when the car is switched off.
4) There are very few options to configure. Even in menu 8888.
There is no help from the Chinese. As always Tried different cables, locations, etc.
Since I already had one experience with Chinese android software, it is clear that the error is in android software.
Although there was another android radio but with malaysk mod software all the troubles were solved.
Here is the Chinese android radio software: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z0UrWRHSb_ZCvt3YsDVytRMMHUutrVpT/view?usp=sharing
Can anyone help or provide better software or improve existing one?

Hi,
hello, i bought this radio from aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000620695689.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.421e4c4dx9cnJf / MT8227L 4-Core Android 10 2GB+32GB (Radio IC: ST7708, Amp IC: AC 7315, DSP normal)) but the concerns turned out:
1) First, the radio always turns on for a long time (as if the memory is cleared. While the radio channels are still there).
2) Searching for a gps signal takes a very long time.
3) The radio loses the signal in the meantime when the car is switched off.
4) There are very few options to configure. Even in menu 8888.
There is no help from the Chinese. As always Tried different cables, locations, etc.

From the few pictures you posted, I think your device is a FF-5500 right? If so, then it uses the same firmware as Junsun V1 and Hizpo ad907001

For your GPS you can use gps amplifier. (this is for increasing gps antenna signal) i've ordered one of this and still wait it to arrive.

Install Device Info HW and it will say so in the system tab.
I'm a newbie to this site so apols if I have contravened any site rules!
Hoping someone might be able to help. I bought a 12.3inch HU on AliExpress. Its model number is uis8581a2h10_Automotive, which I think is a FYT HU. It's coded specifically for BMW.
After a full boot everything on the HU works fine. But then if I stop the car, for example to grab something from a shop, when I start the car again the head unit starts up instantly but there's no sound despite Zlink5/Spotify appearing to run properly on the screen. The only option to get sound back is to reboot the head unit and wait for Zlink5 to reestablish a connection with my phone (a Galaxy S10). Interestingly though, even when the music fails to play through the speakers, if I press the microphone button, Google Assistant plays sound and can properly make a phone call played through the car's front left speaker.
Also, when I'm getting no sound after the HU wakes, if I switch to the DAB app, I can hear a millisecond of Spotify music before it cuts off, and then the DAB app also fails to play sound - although it too, like Zlink5/Sportify, responds properly onscreen. So the HU seem to be playing music after waking from sleep, but just not routing it to the amp.
Apparently this unit is supposed to output sound via an aux cable which plugs into the BMW stereo's aux port. However, my unit plays music through the speakers on the aux setting whether or not the aux cable is plugged in. Not sure if that's affecting things?
The final issue is that Zlink5 won't work with bluetooth and WLAN/hotspot at the same time. It switches off WLAN while connecting to my phone via Bluetooth. If I then enable WLAN and set up a hot spot, Zlink5 either switches WLAN off and reconnects via Bluetooth, or else it will connect to WLAN, after which music pauses every second or so.
The sellers have sent me an MCU update file, which I have applied, and I have also tried every option in the HU settings for Car Aux Switch Mode. I can't think of anything else to try.
Can anyone advise whether these problems are likely to be software or hardware related? And has anyone any ideas how they might be resolved?
Many thanks!
In regards to not being able to use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth together when you use zlink it uses the wifi to connect to you phone in the background. If you manually turn it back on it will disconnect from your phone. My advice would be to put a SIM card in your unit.

Many thanks for getting in touch Marchnz. The MCU is ZLH_BMH220425A_8581. The original version was ZLH_BM_OS_1.37, but the seller has since provided an update to ZLH_BM_OS_1.53 which has fixed the problem.

HI there, I've found the update but it's 1.4Gb or so. Can you send me a DM with your email and I'll send it to you via Wetransfer? Obviously its use would be at your own risk, as I'm not sure whether it will work across different manufacturers/companies.
