New Android 7.1.1 PX3 Unit from BonRoad - Any Info or Feedback?

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...32699671881.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.KbDCzA
The UI and other specs are very similar to the HotAudio test preview (thread here). Has anyone had a chance to get their hands on one of these yet? I'm deciding between this or a Joying unit.
Any input is appreciated!

PX3 RK3188 Android 7.1.1 DVD VW GPS 2G ram
Just received and installed this Head unit in my vw touran 2004.
It looks like the specifications are the same : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Pure...32582906631.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.UFTkAD
The unit is a Bonroad C1120801A4/A5 (RK3188 Android 7.1.1 Lecteur DVD de Voiture pour Octavia Fabia Praktik EOS GPS Navigation Avec 1024*600 HD 8 "
So far, i'm satisfied with the unit :
- Radio is now working and stable .RDS works fine (with the last DCMU update). (You need to put a double fakkra antenna plug to get the radio stable on vw cars)
- GPS IGo is fine but not in French, Waze great
- canbus is functional
- Wifi rear camera ok
- BT external micro (mono) installed, i need to shout/YELL (it is an issue...)
When calling, both mic works (front mic and ext. roof mic)
google voice research unusable
I'm waiting for documentation from the supplier as there were no instructions in the box.
Do not hesitate, if you need more informations, pictures and tests. :good:
I tried Kingo root but it failed.

I also bought a car radio on aliexpress similar to yours. Px3 cortex a9 for ford focus c-max.
I have exactly the same worries as you with the microphone, the one integrated in the facade I have to stick my mouth on and scream.
The one who plugs externally is the same thing.
Many people talk about a worry with frequencies that are not the same in china and here
300-3400 for china
50-7400 for others
If you can root your device you can change the frequencies with Pimp my rom.
Personally I can not root it.

Thanks for the feedback. What's the boot time on this thing? Does it have a sleep function similar to Joying units?

About 15 to 20 seconds to boot. For sleep functions, I have nightlight or 15s 30s 1mns ect ...

I've the same unit but it doesn't detect OBDII adapter. Any solution?

After trying everything to get the microphone that works for the handsfree kit, I decided to cut the 4th leg of the bluetooth module and solder a mono microphone directly on it. This was my last option because I did not have the c32 connector. This has been a success. People hear me very well now.

I have ordered this one - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-C...32691433062.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.MbBrvn. Waiting for the the item to arrive. The seller would ship it on 17 July 2017 (Monday).

Can you try the following and see if this gives you root access:
Goto factory settings and instead of typing 126 type *#hct#root#
This may give you temporary root access. Now you can install supersu or magisk to make the root permanent.
Note: I don't have this device or have not used any other Android HU; so I have not tried the steps mentioned above. I found this on the internet. Please try and let us know the result.

Is your Bluetooth scanning OBDII with this ROM ?

Anyone managed to fix the bad Bluetooth call quality? Any luck with getting root access?

Hello, I bought this unit, but the 9-inch model without buttons and I do not use the search for voice, the free hands works perfectly for me, but for voice searches they do not work with the internal or external microphone.
Nor can I get programs with self-starting like the Radardroid service start only with the start of the radio, I have to manually activate it at each radio start.
I also have no rear camera, only parking sensors, and every time I put the reverse gear turns off the screen and the voice of the radio to try to connect to the back camera even if I do not have it, this did not happen with my previous radio with android 4.4, only with this new one with android 7.1.2.

(1) In the "Shutdown delay when ACC is off" do you have a new option named "Auto Sleep"?
(2) What is the MCU version you have?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, I can not find the "Autosleep" option. My MCU is MTCD_XRC_V2.44_1

corolla E12 2din model
I have problems with the sound by hands free, to my listen very low, my unit is the MTCD_XRC_V2.54a_1 with android 7.1.2 ... is there any possibility to get down to version 5 of android?

Well you're right, if I have the auto sleep option enabled, but programs like Radardroid can not start automatically with the radio, I always have to start them manually.

Hi everyone!
I have a similar unit.
I think that the problem is with android version. In our case 7.1.1.
I had a problem with my OBDII reader and I updated my unit to 7.1.2 and fix it
Now with 7.1.2 I have the same problem with microphone and also I have a problem with USB cameras. Only the DVR app can connect with but only the first time. If I close the DVR app and open it again, camera dont work.
I want to use the USB front camera with Mapillary and iOnRoad but I cant.
Any idea?
Where can I donwload a previos android version? for example 5.1.1 or 6 perhaps its would fix the problems.
Thanks!

I've had a Hizpo 7" no dvd with buttons mcu xrc 2.54 android 7.1.2 2gb 16gb for a week. Came this way so I can't say about previous versions.
My bluetooth microphones (both) work fine for me, calls hear me fine. Even just the internal mic seems good.
I haven't had any bluetooth connection problems.
Android does not see any microphone, there is no speech input in keyboard settings, google voice search hears nothing. Voice recorder apps hear nothing.
Tried a usb mic but that did nothing.
Can't get usb camera to work for DVR. RCA CVI cam works in DVR but doesn't record, does not work in FCAM app however, though rear does.
OBDII worked fine when I first tried it, haven't messed with it since.
Display clear and good.
Haven't seen any bog, even when running nav, audio, video etc.
Audio is so so, lots of noise. Radio reception seems great and RDS works too. Needs an amp.
Wifi reception is great, just a little antenna on the back.
I really like it but for the lack of voice search. It's really fast, I have a load of apps and still tons of space. Runs everything so far.
Nearly instant on, radio is playing in under 2 sec (probably 1).
GPS works good so far, finds my location in maybe 10 sec or less usually. I haven't been thru Pittsburgh yet to say how well it keep its signal.
I just got MTCtools and dialer and will start messing with them tomorrow, hopefully I can get a mic input to android and get voice working, then this will be really great!

New Joying PX5-based Android 8.0 Units - [Rockchip PX5 A53 | Android 8.0 | 4GB RAM]

I installed two different models of Joyings newest PX5-based head units. Both are the 7 inch screen 4GB RAM / 32GB flash double DIN model with flat buttons on the left edge.
Please note that as of May 2018, there appear to be multiple new 4GB / 32GB Joying head units have different internal hardware and are not compatible with each other or with the PX5 2GB Joying head units.
JY-UM128N4PX5 is a QD unit
JY-UO128P4 appears to be an FYT unit
Buyer beware. My recommendation is AVOID the QD based units and seek out the FYT units.
See below for more details.
The following information is for JY-UM128N4PX5. Further down the page is information for JY-UO128P4.
=============== JY-UM128N4PX5 =================
Came with Android 8.0.0 installed.
APP Version TP6735 0.0.65
MCU Version TP6735 4.40
Kernel Version 4.4.103
Master password:126
Password for changing logo:0000
Password for changing UI:8086
So far I have noticed the following:
The unit does not trigger the amplifier turn on signal wire - the orange and black wire labeled AMP-CONT always measures zero volts on my voltmeter. Workaround is to use either the antenna signal wire, or the ACC power signal wire, to turn on your amp. Joying is aware of this issue.
Sleep does not work. The unit shuts down completely about one minute after you turn off the vehicle's ignition. It doesn't sleep and then come back on instantly like my Intel-based Joying unit. Boot time is about 20 seconds. Joying support now says that sleep is not supported on the QD units.
I cannot find the radio settings in the new radio app. You used to be able to slide the bar at the bottom of the radio app to get to settings. Now in Android 8, there are a couple of radio settings that have been moved to the main android setup dialog.
Some of the functionality of the former car settings app has been moved to the android settings dialog. But not everything is there - for example this is where I was looking for the ability to tell the unit to toggle the amplifier signal wire. I could not find any such setting.
AM radio reception is non-existent - static on all AM channels.
FM reception is good, but I cannot figure out how to get the FM Radio to enable display of song and station information - this used to be under RDS settings, which no longer exist.
Bluetooth calling works fine. Seems more stable than my older Intel-based unit.
Sound quality is good - I am using an external amplifier.
The logo set up is missing Porsche and Saab Logos. My Intel-based Joying unit had these. Easy enough to load my own custom logo.
The unit ships with Joying's "Launcher3" selected. On the home screen, the labels of the bottom row of icons are cut off. The screenshots on Joying's website show the same thing. The joying2 launcher is missing.
If you reflash the unit, the vertical keypad on the left side of the unit gets un-mapped and stops working. Fix is to go into car settings and remap it.
========================= JY-UO128P4 ==================
Android Version 8.0.0
Build Number px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007
System Info APP 1024x600 2018-04-27 21:42:36
MCU Version 2018-01-23 10:59:33 JY_(R68)_R-86C-096I-NC-NP-1.0-P12S
Passwords:
Factory settings: 3368
Developer Options: 3368
Reset: 3368
Password for changing Launcher:8086
Password for changing screen current:
So far I have noticed the following:
The software on the JY-UO128P4 is very close to that of my older Joying Intel based system.
The developer has replaced all of the system settings screens native to android with their own settings screens. Not super cool. All of the car settings and android system setting are now intermingled.
Upon unboxing, the JY-UO128P4 has only a single Wifi antenna wheras the JY-UM128N4PX5 had two (diversity) wifi antennas. I have not tried to compare reception differences.
The amplifier turn on signal now works as expected (AMP-CONT wire correctly signals 12V when unit is active)
Sleep works as expected
AM radio reception works weakly.
The FM radio application works as expected. Radio app settings are accessed within the radio app. It's possible to enable RDS for song and station ID within the radio app.
All of the joying launchers are available - I prefer launcher 02 and it's available on this unit.
Many more car logos are available on the system. Porsche logo was built-in.
The only things I've noticed so far that are worse with the JY-UO128P4 than the JY-UM128N4PX5
The unit suffers from the android 8.0 bug on Joying where all of your google contacts are deleted if you allow your account on the head unit to sync contacts with google.
As noted above - the native android settings panels are all removed.
The app for setting the color of the buttons on the side panel is limited to pre-determined solid colors - yellow, white, red green etc. On the JY-UM128N4PX5 you could select and set any RGB color, which made it possible to match the button illumination to your other dashboard lights.
As I learn more, I will post more.

I cannot find most of the passwords needed to set up the unit. The master password is 126 - I found that by watching a joying video. But I cannot find the second level passwords for changing the logo, changing the launcher, etc. Anyone have the other passwords?
The utility to change the color of the buttons on the left side of the unit works, but the buttons do not illuminate one the unit is booted.

Who else has a new Joying Android 8 unit - what else are you seeing? Has anyone found solutions to the items above?

I have had several back and forth emails with Joying support in the last couple of days.
They are trying to find the passwords for their new units under Android 8. Support didn't know. They had me try 00000 and 123456, neither of which worked. I told them the main password is 126 - they didn't know this either. I still need passwords for all of the second level settings - change the launcher, change the logo, see if there are more developer options for car config, etc.
They are apparently aware that the AMP-CONT lead to turn on the external amplifier does not work. They recommend connecting the accessory wire from your vehicle to the amp signaling wire instead, so the amp will turn on when you turn your key to the accessory or on position, bypassing the head unit.
They acknowledge there are no detailed settings available for the radio under Android 8 in the radio app. So there is no way to turn on station or channel ID for US customers.
I also let them know about another radio issue - FM Radio reception is normal, but AM reception is awful to non-existent.
Google maps is ok, directions from Google maps are mixing with other audio ok.
Feels like Android 8 on the new Joying 4GB units isn't quite ready for prime time yet... Has anyone tried to upgrade a 2GB Android 6 unit to Android 8 now that the Android 8 files are on Joying's website? Do you see the same behaviors, or am I seeing hardware issue with the brand new 4GB units? I suspect it's all software, but would be nice to know.

The 2GB units are not compatible with the 4GB units. They need different hardware drivers and different MCU firmware as the firmware in the 2GB units is from FYT. I forgot the manufacturer of the 4 GB units but @gtxaspec knows.
There is no downloadable firmware yet for the 2GB units.

hi, i've the same unit and the password was noted into the user manual, it's 3368.

If you buy Joying android 8.0 unit the SKU like:JY-UO135N4PX5 or JY-UOS03N4PX5,password as below:
Master password:126
Password for changing logo:0000
Password for changing UI:8086

TomTom
It seams to be so hard. Again an Android HU, where TomTom navigation does not work. It let's me download the maps, but after that it crashes every time I try to load the application.

I can confirm these passwords are correct:
Master password:126
Password for changing logo:0000
Password for changing UI:8086
Other findings so far:
The illuminated buttons do work - they sometimes take a few seconds to come on after your illumination wire signals with 12V.
The logo selection with this new unit does not include Porsche or Saab. You can still upload your own custom logos.
I updated the unit to the latest (2018-4-20) release on the Joying website which is supposed to include optimizations and Zlink and my unit is now hanging at the Android text logo (right after the animated Android logo). I sent a note to Joying support for help and will also wait for a few hours to see if it comes back to life.

The same happened to me
After writing about 25 emails with Joying support I had to reflash the whole system ... loosing all my data.
For now I am really not going to try any more updates from Joying with this unit.
Really hoping for a Custom Rom & Root for this unit.

I have one of these as well. Any one find where the setting is to make the sleep mode last longer(2hrs) before it full shuts down? it seems to be locked on 30sec currently. Also it wont pair with my OBDlinkMX BT dongle. in the older MTCD units, making the BT password 1234 let you do it, but not here. anyone have any luck with BT OBD dongle pairing?

I was really leaning towards getting this unit but have been holding off because I wish it had Bluetooth 5.0, maybe I should wait a little longer since it seems to have a fair amount of bugs. I know a lot of people are happy with the Xtron since it has all the best features I just really prefer to have the buttons on the left like this unit has. Looking forward to seeing if you guys can get this squared away

I was able to get my unit working again by reflashing. It took about 10 tries with three different USB cards but it finally worked. Joying support provided a file that included a system image and a Window-based chinese language USB card writing programs, along with a word document with instructions. You build the USB drive and then plug it into the left hand USB connector, and click the reset button on the front of the unit. It loads, then tells you to remove the USB drive, and then if you are very lucky it will reboot into Android.
After re-flashing, the vertical keyboard on the left side of the unit did not work. Turned out the mappings had been erased. Fix is to remap the keys - there is an option in car settings.
Current issues still present in the unit seem to be:
Unit shuts off entirely after 30-60 seconds instead of sleeping when you turn off the vehicle. My intel-based unit sleeps for several days.
No AM radio reception - static on all channels.
No way to turn on song or station identification in the radio settings for FM.
AMP-cont signal wire does not work. I've worked around by wiring my accessory wire directly to my amp's signaling wire.
Have not tried Torque and Bluetooth ODBII reader pairing yet - on my list for this weekend.

So, it's not just me...
I purchased a JY-UM135N2PX5 (PX5 2G/16G) with Android 6.0 mid to late March.
I had it on my bench through April, testing and configuring it prior to install.
After trading emails with Joying tech support, I was sent an Android 8.0 update to address a Zlink/iPhone issue.
I started my install in the car today, and discovered "no sound". I guessed that the AMP-CONT wasn't turning on the OEM amplifier. I rechecked the cables, which checked out just fine. Tried a Joying JY-UM135N2 (Intel Sofia 2G/32G Android 6) on the same harness, and it functioned as expected (turned the OEM amplifier on and had sound). I took them both back to my bench and noticed that the "AMP-CONT" on the PX5 unit did not appear to have 12V on it, while the Sofia unit did.
I did not leave the non-functional PX5 unit in the car long enough to see any other issues.
I am curious if I were to revert back to Android 6 on the PX5 unit, if it would fix the AMP-CONT issue (at the cost of breaking the Zlink/iPhone functionality)

Would you be so kind as to share those files with us? This would be a good starting point for further testing and research. Simply upload to a hoster like mega.

Here is the reply I got from Joying support this morning in regards to the open defects I am tracking with the unit. I suspect that all of this will get fixed in subsequent software releases, it's relatively obvious stuff. Can anyone confirm if these same issues exist in the Android 8 builds on Joying's 2GB PX5 head units, or are these unique to the newest 4GB units?
Dear friend,
Please noted :
1) sorry that your system is different with Intel head unit , it do not have fast boot feature . so it will completely off .
2) for the AM receptions is bad , you need to set the proper time and zone . also the radio area choice .
3) sorry, the head unit you purchased do not have the RDS setting .
4) for the am-cont not voltage , please connect the ACC (red wire ) to your amplifier wire . then can offer 12V .
Hope your noted .

Are they serious? I would suggest to try the Malaysk Rom, i guess your units are MTCD and MTCE devices so maybe this rom would support the missing software like rds and the other hardware not supported by Joying

I have a 2GB Android version 8.0.0 unit, but my unit is a FYT based unit like the Sofia 3GRs, unlike yours which is a QD unit.
Mine does have fast-boot as my unit is a FYT based unit, using the same hardware/SOM as the Sogia 3GR intel units.
I never used AM-reception. I wouldn't know, but I know from previous users on Sofia 3GR that they also complained about the AM reception
Which RDS-setting? This is so confusing and so not concrete. RDS is a complete set of functions. The syu/FYT based software on the FYT based units support RDS-PS, RDS-PTY and RDS-TA/TP. The latest firmware versions on FYT units (Sofia 3GR and my PX5) also support RDS-RT. They do not support RDS-AF. They implemented "something" like AF. If you use that option it does not select the Alternate Frequency of your radio station, it selects the strongest signal it can find of any station. Note that it is the software. The radio chips in all these units support the complete RDS set of functions.
Don't know about the the amp-cont wire.
You ask about and mention AM and about RDS. I hope you know that RDS can only be used on the FM signal. RDS is not available for AM.

You have an Allwinner T3 chipset in your unit.
Do not use a Joying thread to ask a completely off-topic question.

I've received the same unit, facing the same issues as the OP.
Also the localisation in my language is quite poor.

I've bought this unit in the hope that it would be compatible with custom ROMs.
Are you saying that the unit MCU is almost unknown and that no custom ROM would be available in the near future?

I will pay for help plzzz

I recently purchased a chogath a7 for 03 Accord first is it any good secondly I cannot get the climate display to show for anything the buttons work but no display for it. It's running Oreo with octa core also when I connect to WiFi the time goes back to something not my region in USA NJ I'm willing to pay anyone who can help me.

If
you mean that the AC is not displaying, there is a couple of things you could try but it's not guaranteed it will work. Go to settings, then find car settings and in that menu go into the Factory Settings option. The code is something that you need to find out from the manufacturer. In there there is a canbus menu option. I suppose it will say "No" in there so just try to find the one matching your car. Then press apply and restart the unit. Try to see if the wheel controls work. If not then try to find an app called vehicle information or something similar. Enter that app and see if you get any info. If you dont then get back to the factory settings again and try another CANbus setting. There might be 2-3 that work on your make/model.
If nothing works and you lose the wheel controls, just change that setting back to "No" and you will need to live without AC and open door information
About the steering wheel controls... You mean that you dont get the volume changer graphic on your head unit?
For the wifi issue, you can just disable the auto time setting in the settings and it will never revert back again

Yes and no
With climate my ac works when I got the button but as far as coming up on the screen I just don't know how high or low it is. Like fan speed whether it's dash or dash and feet. The temperature it's set to those things. I get WiFi. And when I go into my settings I don't have any user settings and I do see ether canbus model selections but only one for 7 gen Accord. Is this something a update would fix or a custom rom

Anyone ?

Did you ever find a solution? I'm in the same boat as you.

N
Nope i went on eBay and asked other sellers to help me but in the mean time the control for climate stopped working completely. It was only the display but now it don't even control it the lights don't light up when i push the button like they used to either. You can't get any help for these units anywhere. It's frustrating. I can't find ROMs updates help information. Apparently all winner makes cops for more then just head units. The brand don't really mean much because underneath there all the same. I have been trying to find any help at all for one of these units and a 03 Accord ex that has factory navigation and i can't get any help and this site is usually pretty good with help. I learned allot about phones on here but it got nothing with help for the head unit or wiring or anything.

You're best bet is to take it to a mechanic, or a person who deals with chinese head units in real life, and get them to set it up for a small fee

Chinese headunits are pretty wierd, you'll most likely be having to experiment on your own..

I may have a solution for you. Solution is a new CANBUS deocder , the one that supports all settings from your car MCU (decoder interacts with your car computer, some cheap Chinese stuff that came originally with multimedia device are somewhat limited - cheap but expensive in hole multimedia order).
Had similar problems and my seller choosen one of the expensive ones, but I did not order it yet, but told me that this one limited in my car cannot get all the functions from car MCU.
It gave me specs for a most possible replacement so all of you in need of a new canbus to resolve your issues look on Ali Express by this :
- origin : CN
- Year : 2019
- External testing certification : CCC
- Model name: ASPI decoder
The Store on Ali Express is called NEVEGETOR STORE
NOTE: generally this one described works with ALPS multimedia devices
Good luck and tell me if your problem is fixed, post here !

New to Android headunits: Bluetooth and firmware questions

Hi!
I'm new here and am wondering if someone could help me out.
I got an Android headunit through a local workshop. I thought it'd be an upgrade, and in some respects it is, but it's been giving me endless problems. I've also eventually come to the realisation that the mechanic is pretty clueless about troubleshooting software issues (I suppose he's more of an installer) so I'm pretty much on my own here. He's talking to his supplier but has been established these Chinese suppliers aren't usually helpful.
There are 2 things which I can't figure out:
1. On day 1, the bluetooth worked. I could pair my iPhone with the headunit through the unit's stock "bluetooth/dialer" app. But the unit wouldn't power back on after it was installed the first time. Mechanic told me the the unit came shipped with a wire switched around and once he corrected that problem, the headunit has been working pretty reliably. Bluetooth stopped working after this, however. I've done a factory reset, tried the RST button upfront but to no avail.
I've go to settings and searched for "bluetooth" (yes, noted that it's hidden on these units!) and made sure it's switched on. Occasionally, I see my phone's name appear on the "settings" page, but I can't pair it with the unit. It remains stuck on "pairing." It still searches endlessly in the bluetooth/dialer app.
Is there anything else I should look into?
2. Can the OS and firmware be upgraded on my unit? I unfortunately, have no idea what brand/model the headunit is. My car's pretty rare in my country (Renault Clio 2015) and the headunits on Aliexpress were for a lower-end version with different connectors. The workshop got a unit for my model through its Chinese contacts, but it came in a non-descript box. Here's the info I've gotten from the Settings screen:
Processor type: QuadCore-T3
Android Version: 7.1.1
MCU version: T5.3.21-63-9B1-C06101-180904
System version: V8.3.2_20180919.193359_ZH5-N
I'll be going through the forum to learn as much about Android headunits but would appreciate any help in the mean time.
Thanks!

Spent some time looking around the forums. Thought I'd log what I've discovered for others who may be searching for similar info.
To recap, I have an Android head unit with no branding. Initially, all I had was the info from the "about device" screen, which provided a bunch of numbers.
I got more information by downloading a hardware info app. There are a few but they generally work the same by providing you with more hardware info (ie. clues).
Discovered I have an Allwinner T3 P3 system. I'm sure I'm lumping several things together but it was enough info to search the forum with.
Discovered this wonderful thread which is generally about Android units based on the above chipset.
Within that thread I came across this one which was extremely helpful. It details how there are 3 types of Allwinner T3 P3 systems which are all different as far as firmware is concerned. Links to their respective firmware are provided, as well as some info on how to reset/recover the system. Glad I found this as I have a better idea how these things work, and more importantly, it cautions against what NOT to do (and risk bricking your headunit).
The the post also links a Russian site that has even more info on my unit from the Allwinner T3 P3 family. Will explore this next (thanks Google translate!).
Will also try to do a factory recover to see if I can fix the bluetooth problem. It worked on Day 1 so at the very least I know the hardware works. That said, who knows if the hardware was fried when the wires were switched around.

Solved the bluetooth problem. Answer was in the Russian thread posted above!

Thank you, just got a unit with same MCU version and your post has helped me identify this thing!

Hi Ultimax,
I have a small question. I have the same car as you ( a 2015 clio 4) and I'm wondering about the Canbus configuration to use to get the steering wheel boutons to work? Looked everywhere and nothing on this topic so I'm really waiting for your directions..

Hey!
Glad to help!
What headunit comes installed in your Clio 4? Is it a R-Link TomTom unit (without the USB port next to the screen) or the more basic MediaNav (with the USB port next to the screen)?
If it's the MediaNav headunit, you're in luck. There are quite a few aftermarket Android headunits which are supposedly plug and play, including steering wheel buttons. At least that's what's claimed. I know Pioneer Europe has a headunit which is a 1 for 1 replacement for the stock unit. It even comes with a new plastic front so it fits perfectly and a new wiring harness.
https://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/products/sph-evo62dab-clio
If it's the R-Link TomTom unit, then I'm afraid you're out of luck. This is the version of Clio 4 I have unfortunately. I've searched high and low on the internet for a suitable wiring harness+CANBUS which would allow me to use the factory steering wheel buttons but couldn't find any. The closest I came was one I got from China through a local installer, but only the volume and channel up/down buttons worked. The Android headunit itself which came with the CANBUS was sh!t and I was tempted to go back to the factory unit. Only thing keeping me from doing so was I'd already spent too much time and money getting it to work somewhat.
However, I recently installed a new Pioneer headunit. My local installer managed to replace the Android unit with it. He couldn't get the steering buttons to work though. He said he'd have to custom program one which would be pretty costly. So, I've given up on using the factory steering wheel buttons.
A cheap workaround is to use an aftermarket steering wheel control kit. You attach new controls to your steering wheel (either clipped, glued or recessed into new holes drilled into your steering wheel). The controls are powered by a long-life battery. The control unit is paired wirelessly with a receiver which you connect to the your headunit via the KEY1/KEY2 (Pioneer calls them Input 1 and 2), ground and ACC wires. Most headunits have these wires.
This is the option I'm going for. My kit hasn't arrived yet but I'm optimistic it'll work.
FYI, this is the one I bought:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000584816400.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.317a4c4dfTx6k3
There are other designs too. Just search the site for "universal steering wheel control radio"
Hope this helps!

Eonon GA9465B BMW 3 Series E90 E91 E92 E93 "Android 10"

For every one that bought this product and is looking to change the look since the default UI is trash.
Specs: If more is needed let me know
HMI: XRCH.D.Q.F.3.04_1.2020.11.30.16.30
MCU: TS907.190518(H)
My Car: E92 335xi No Logic 7 (If you have the logic 7 amp you will need to buy the additional decoder to get the HU working)
I bought my unit off their website instead of Amazon since it looks like it cost more on Amazon. They also threw in reverse cam, OBD2, and Front cam. I paid for 5$ shipping insurance incase I opened it and it was broken which I saw a few on Amazon like that. Shipped and received in 5days.
How to know if you have a logic 7 amp:
Look in the driver's side of the trunk behind the tail light for the long silver box. If there is a black box/amp its the HK/Generic
On the non-nav head unit, there is a large black wire connector and there should be two sets of 8 wires plugged in and then MOST fiber cable.
Their website has a picture but it's not the best.
Steps to change appearance:
1. Download the Nova Launcher from the Google Play Store. (I am a former Android user and switched to Apple so I was not aware of this lol)
Use a Hotspot or connect to your home WiFi
2. Run the launcher and it will have you customize a few options which you can pick what you like.
Steps to add Custom "Baked-in" UI buttons Eonon's UI has:
1. In the Nova launcher UI Hold the center of the screen until the customize options appear.
2. Select Widgets
3. Select and hold Activities. Place it somewhere and a new screen will appear. Can take a few seconds.
4. You should see a list of Apps. Scroll down until you see "com.ts.MainUI8"
This will show all apps that are "Baked-in"
(Optional)
Get an icon pack that you like and edit the icons by selecting one and holding it.
Common Apps you would want:
CarPlay == PhoneLink (Not under com.ts.MainUI8. Just in the list.)
All under "com.ts.MainUI8"
Equalizer == Setup
CarInfo == CarInfo (Seat Warmers, MPG, etc.)
Radio == Radio (There is a CarRadio option but it is not the actual radio)
Settings == Setting (Limited setting not much here)
Things I found that the consumer was not supposed to: (WIP)**
(All of these were found using )
Dev mode (From what it looks like there are more settings here but I have not gone through them all)
Annoying features:
The door chime is now a beeping from the HU. I have not figured out how to disable this. This also beeps for seatbelts and MOST SOS error on the dash.
The screws that come with the HU for the side mounts do not reach the car clips/mounting points and you will need to get 2 1/2" screws.
WiFi signal is not that great but considering it is inside an insolated dash it's probably the reason it does not find networks that great.
Time and Date do not seem to keep after shutting off the car and turning it back on. (Will if you have your hotspot connected constantly)
Can not find the option to disable the reverse cam. (Still looking will update if I find it.)
Have not found a way to root the device. Since I do not think there is a sim card I am looking for an app-based root that will not brick the device lol need to figure out how to back up the ROM remotely. There is a USB so I can probably restore the ROM or I'll just send it back on Warranty (2-year warranty)

Been trying to root mine as well GA2180A, I can connect via adb console but can't gain su access and disk is in read only mode. I can boot to recovery menu but I can't toggle any of the choices using vol- vol+ or power button

Hi,
I bought the GA9465 for my BMW E90.
It works well, however, the radio application can be improved. Indeed, it is not possible to navigate in 10hz steps, only 20.
So it is impossible to switch to a radio frequency 104.40.
Is there a particular adjustment to be made?

eonon is too expensive
