SINOSMART Ford focus 2017 Tesla style head unit CANBUS - Android Head-Units

So I pulled the trigger and purchased a tesla style head unit from aliexpress. All good except for the Canbus steering wheel control doesn't work even though they assured me it would.
The air con and temp comes through but nothing from the steering wheel or through their app.
Anyone had any success with this on fords? The steering wheel app doesn't work at all or register buttons.
Merry Christmas all

Having the same issue as well, ford focus mk3.5 2018 model.
May revert back to stock headunit soon

I don't know about the latest generation Focus but usually the steering wheel buttons are not on the CANbus. They're connected through the Key1 pin in the quadlock connector. You might have a connector that's wired wrong.

OEM GPS on Joying 2GB Intel Unit

Hi All, I am wondering if i can use the OEM GPS antenna with Joying Intel units by using below adapter.
I have ordered VL 131N2 unit for my VW Passat 2012 B7 car and if possible i would like to use OEM GPS.
I checked with Joying and they said i need some adapter but they didnt know what kind. I googled little bit and i understand VW OEM headunit RNS310 GPS has " FAKRA " connector. So is the below shown " FAKRA-SMA " adapter right now for me ?

Let me know if anybody has information on this. Thanks !
I have the same car and the adapter looks good. Should work.
Myself I use the GPS antenna that came with the JY device, because I replaced the OEM roof shark antenna (GPS, GSM) with a Calearo 16V DAB/FM antenna.
Should work. I have the same

Ownice C500+ Key Ground wire

Update: I got it working now. There is no SWC ground in the connector. I had to ground the SWC Ground from thr car side to any ground to get the steering working. Thanks guys.
Does anybody know which pin is key ground in the connector that comes with c500+ headunit?
Or do i not need it to get SWC working, only connecting key 1 and key 2 is enough?

ANDREAM Allwinner T8 - 2GB RAM 32GB ROM - Steering Wheel Control & CarPlay

Hi everyone !
I've been browsing the web for the last 4 month to solve my issues with this Andream Head Unit on Android 8.1.

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And I didn't find anything that could help me, so here is my two problems:
First one,
When I use the Z-Link app with the integrated Apple CarPlay solution, it may freeze sometimes and I have to wait until the application unfreeze.
It may happen when I drive with Waze or when I'm on the track screen. So basically, when something is moving on the screen.
I've asked for an update of this app but it seems that the guy at Andream wait till I forget the problem to answer me...
I thought it was a heat issue, but I've put a fan and a few heat sink on the cpu, now he stay between 40 and 70 degree Celsius.
Second One,
The steering wheel control doesn't work at all. I've got an Audi TT mk2 2010, and when I purchased the Head Unit, the guy sent me a BMW can bus decoder. Then after I tell him that I have an Audi, he sent me an Audi can bus decoder. So I manage the cable to have the Audi decoder working because it wasn't the same pins connector. Now, the head unit detect when I light on the car headlight, but when I go to the steering wheel control app, I can't register more than one control and when I test it, nothing happen...
So I'm wondering if I'll purchase or not the new Sony XAV-AX100. But I just wanted this thing to work ! :crying:
I hope you could bring me some help ! Best regards !

SWC remap

Hi
I have the following Pioneer Android based head unit:
Best Bluetooth Audio Receiver in Mauritius | Smart Unit Receiver - Pioneer
Pioneer offers Bluetooth audio receiver in Mauritius. Buy Pioneer SDA-835TAB with features like 8 Inch Car AV receiver. Click here to explore more about our product
pioneer-mea.com
The unit doesn't come with any app to configure the wheel controls - I'm using the following wheel buttons:
https://it.aliexpress.com/item/4000251467791.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2ita&spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef3696HTzWqo
connected to the head unit using:
https://automotive.paser.it/it-it/Paser/Unico-Dual-Plus-p80m11.html
The command works but some (like the navigation button) are not being used.
Can anyone advise if there is a way to remap such unused keys to any android application/function?
Thanks
anyone?

What does the seller or reputable installer suggest
Use the standard keys
bump?
Hi..sorry I've just read this post. Currently I'm using this Pioneer SDA-835TAB on my 2018 Honda HR-V. When I'm installed this HU they need an optional steering wheel remote cable to connect the stock steering switch, but the detail installation I leave it to the car audio technician.
I don't use custom steering wheel switch because I'm already have it on my steering wheel.
Hope this help you.
Also I attached a photo...
The Pioneer HU using a new Android Auto UI connect wirelessly to my Samsung S22 (Android 13 One UI 5.0) via Head Unit Reloaded emulator and it works perfectly..

Need better volume controls for MTCH head unit

Bought a '09 Porsche Cayman S. Had the crappy factory PCM 3.0 nav head unit; I decided to upgrade to a factory look Android unit. Requirements were wireless Android Auto and front/rear camera inputs. I went to the highest-end unit available, the Android 12 Xtrons unit:
https://xtrons.com/porsche-qualcomm...ram-128gb-rom-integrated-4g-solution-iq82cmpl
Problem: It is all touch screen. Volume literally takes three presses to adjust - absolutely awful. Problem 2 is my car doesn't have steering wheel controls. The upgrade to steering wheel controls (without downgrading to a crappy steering wheel at least) is $2500.
I haven't found any software fixes that will work. Are there any tiny remotes (knob or button) out there that would work that I could hide. The idea was for this to look stock - if not, I'll return it and go with a Kenwood, Pioneer, etc. that has physical buttons.
MCU: MTCH-GS-V3.89a_3
API: 31 (so is Android 12)
RAM: 6GB
CPU: 8-core Qualcomm QC6125

No for a couple of reasons. One - the Cayman doesn't have cup holders there (they pop out of the dash). There isn't a place in the car where that big thing would work. Plus, I want a stock-looking option.
