Hello everyone.
I have been wanting to get a Android radio for my 2013 Buick Enclave w/ Bose. I have narrowed the Radios down to Eonon, Pumpkin and Xtrons. I think the setup would be the same for either. My main question is I want to keep my steering wheel controls and get it to work with Bose. I went to Crutchfield to see the adapters that would work and they had Datalink Maestro RR Interface Module as the main with iDatalink's ADS HRN-RR-GM5+. I'm just seeing if anyone got these to work with the Android Head Unit. Thanks for you time.

My car is Ford Mondeo Mk4 2007 year. In description is stated that this device is compatible with Mondeo 2007-2010. I contacted with Joying and they sad that this device is NOT compatible with my car. I'm confused.

Hello
because now most of china OEM DVD Player factories can not resolve the ford Convers +problem ,their canbus can not work with the system ,so steering wheel control ,and convers+ information can not display on the dash ,that's why Joying can not support on your car . If you have Ford car ,when you want to buy a new DVD player ,better give a picture of your dashboard to the sellers ,and consult them about convers +
Hi,
I've sent them a picture of my dashboard and they said their device is not compatible with my car.
Obviously I'm going to buy an Eonon unit. Their devices at least have support for steering wheel.
Thank you for the help.
This video seems to be proof that some unit can talk with Converse+

Resurrect an old thread. Interesting video, we don't know what the unit is or who the supplier is (both of the Canbus and Headunit)? Does anyone know what the current state of affairs is regarding Android 5.1 Headunits and Convers+ ?

I'll second this 'bump' as I too am looking for a solution to get full Convers+ functionality with my Android head unit (Auto-Pumpkin in a Mondeo Mk4) :good:
Seems that the Convers+ issue has not been resolved yet....
on the Joying page there is a blog that clearly states:
And you can installed our Ford Special Car Radio directly in your Ford II (2008-2012), Mondeo (2007-2011), S-MAX (2008-2010). But all of our Android Car Radio cannot support the Ford Converse+ system.
I have seen youtube videos that show otherwise.
So what does support really mean in this case?

I have found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXXcxf1RFqk
The pre-facelift convers+ works with kitkat 4.4.4.
still says no convers+ ( i dont even know what that is), but I know there is a new 2GB unit for the Mondeo:

I got Xtrons pf75fsfa 5.1 unit for my Mondeo mk4 2008. It works with steering wheel buttons, but not with display (i have small display, not converse).
The unit is working surpringsly well - radio reception is good, gps is fast, sound is much better than the oem cd6000.
I have some wishes for the software, but for now is perfect.

What about phone control buttons?
My phone cotrol stalk not responding. Buttons are death. Only volume buttons, M-button and forward-backward buttons work.

I haven't phone buttons.
Do you have CANBus box?

Yes. I have canbus box attached to the HU wiring. But phone buttons are not recognized.
No idea where is the problem.

this buttons doesnt work: http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/g/1LEAAOSwCU1Yq~YI/s-l225.jpg
I think that canbus box doesn't interpret them and they won't work.

I have the same problem with my head unit. The phone controls does not work. The volume buttons works. Is it possible with BOSION can bus will have a result? Does anyone have the BOSION can bus diagram for CAN-TX / RX?
Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum. I know a bit about Volvo (the older ones!), and Volvo head units, but not about Chinese Android head units.
I’m considering replacing the aging head unit of my (also aging!) 2002 Volvo V70. The head unit is a simple HU 603, so no Dolby, center speaker or extra amplifier. I’m looking at Xtrons TA702P (quad core) or TB706PL (octa core). I prefer a 7 inch touch screen, no knobs, no DVD. But navi should be good, as would radio. Music I can play through usb. And my Elephone S7 (Android 7.1) phone should mirror on the unit if possible.
Other functions like back up camera or steering wheel control are not important to me.
I know how to take the HU 603 out. I know I need an adapter harness to connect with the new unit. And a fascia adapter. All that is available.
My questions:
Xtrons has many car/model specific head units (not for Volvo). They have Canbus decoders supplied with the unit. Not so for the TA702P or the TB706PL. Will that give problems? (The answer from the ebay seller is somewhat useless: ‘Both the TB706PL and the TL702P does not come with the canbus so that you just ignore it.’) Anyone has experience with this?
How are user experiences with these modern Xtrons units? I know, ‘you get what you pay for’, I know that. But still, worth the money?
Units from Kenwood or Pioneer are other options, but again, is it worth it?
Thanks!
Hi there
I own and drive a V70 from 2006. I have replaced the original HU with a SONY 2 DIN unit (XAV-V630BT). This unit has great sound. I also swapped the speakers to JBL. It is totally worth it.
I have a CANbus to resistor unit. This makes it possible to use the steering wheel buttons.
Right now i am testing a Android HU. Unfortunately i have bought the wrong one. The unit is full of bad design choices. The sound integration in the unit is bad. I think that radio, BLUETOOTH and AUX sound runs directly to the sound processor. This means that when the Android unit plays a sound, the sound from the other units are turned off. In my opinion the other source should just fade a little.

Hi there
As said, I don't need steering wheel controls, my steering wheel doesn't even have the buttons. Must have been a cheapskate first owner!
Does this mean the Canbus only affects steering wheel control? So ignoring Canbus (no resistor as in your case), will give no problems?
And yes, by now I've found out Android units may not have the best sound quality. Or radio reception.

Looking to purchase an android headunit for my mazda 6, and have narrowed it down to these 3, but don't know which way to go as they seem pretty similar internally, but all 3 different aesthetically and with different versions of android, any help would be appreciated.
Seicane
Funrover
Eonon
Anyone?
Looking at the same for the same...
Did you decide already? I have a small preference for the FunRover but havent dared order it yet.
Take a look at the pumpkin units with 7.1 or 8.0 OS.
I have the 7.1 7" and have not done any mods or rooting but works right out of the box.
I have a 2007 Toyota and steering wheel control works without 100%.
Hi All,
My brother just purchased an all-in-1 9" Android head unit + facia for his 2005 Mazda 6 (GG). Listing can be seen here:
9" Android Car Stereo Non-DVD Player GPS Media For Mazda 6 Atenza GG AU 02-08 | eBay

He has installed the unit and everything works fine while the car's ignition is only turned to accessories. However, as soon as he turns the car key 1 click further to power up the ignition (but the not has not yet started), the steering wheel controls go nuts. That is, once the key is turned to ignition, it's like one of the steering control buttons is constantly being pressed and the head unit either continually skips through songs or it continually skips through tuning radio stations, depending on whether the unit is set to playback songs or to the radio. Curiously, this problem doesn't occur when only the accessories are powered on (ignition not yet powered on).
The details of his unit are shown in the attached image. He currently has the steering wheel controls disconnected due to the issue, which I'm guessing is why the unit shows "Ruishengwei-Mazda6--disconnect".
I did some searching but didn't find anyone else reporting this issue. Anybody have any insights as to what might be the issue? If so that would be greatly appreciated.

My brother has sent a message to the seller querying about the steering wheel control issue, but no response yet, unfortunately.
Okay, good news. My brother managed to sort the issue. For anybody who has the same problem, here are the details of the fix that worked for him:
Coming from the 9" Android headunit there's a wire called 'Key 1'. This Key 1 wire needed to be connected to the red/blk wire of the Mazda's headunit wiring harness.
I should also mention that his Mazda 6 GG has the non-Bose stereo, however, as seen in the attached image, the non-Bose and Bose headunits both have the same red/blk wire.
I have a Subaru Forester Limited with the Harmon Kardon audio system that came stock with the car.
I'm looking to upgrade to something that will provide Android Auto and Apple Carplay without needing to plug in the phone. I'm currently leaning towards Idoing but am open to any suggestions you all might have.
I don't have much experience when it comes tinkering with electronics or cars, so I figured one of these all one solutions would make it the easiest for me. This way I'm not going to be splicing any wires and it will all be plug and play (I hope).
I've reached out to Idoing because I'm not exactly sure which model I would even pick. These are the ones that seem to fit my vehicle, but I'm not 100% sure.
Idoing 9"Android Head Unit For Subaru WRX STI XV Forester 2016-2021 Car Autoradio Multimedia Video Player Navigation Stereo GPS
Idoing 9"2.5D QLED Car Android Radio GPS Multimedia Player Head Unit 4G+64G For Subaru WRX Forester 2016-2020 Navigation NO 2DIN
Idoing 9"Car Android Radio GPS Multimedia Player IPS 2.5D For Subaru Forester 2016-2018 4G+64G 8 Core Navigation Zlink Head Unit
So am I looking the wrong direction? Is there a brand that I'm overlooking that would be better for me to get?
Thanks.
Ask seller to provide screenshots of Android System information, including MCU. With that you could know what is being offered and then research the forums.
You probably want a UIS7862 FYT based uint.
