JY-UN138 - Joying 8" 2DIN Android 4.4.4

I ordered this from the CarJoying website.
https://www.carjoying.com/2-din-car...-bluetooth-dab-wifi-mirror-link-obd2-nfc.html
It took less than 1 week to arrive and it also had postage tracking details.
I installed this into my 2016 Toyota Fortuner (Australian model). Below you can see a picture of what the original head unit looks like. It's about 8-9 inches and I didn't want to install it using the original facia because there would be a very big gaping hole around the headunit. You can find 2Din facias on EBay and Aerpro webiste

I didn't want to cut up the original wiring harness on the car so I bought the following harness from the Car Joying website. 3 of the plugs were not required for my car and I had to re-wire SWC1 and SWC2 into the correct wires
https://www.carjoying.com/joying-ha...-radio-installation-wiring-harness-cable.html
I also used this 24pin plug for the reverse camera. The Toyota camera uses 5V (not 12v). I had to tap this into the reverse wire in the wiring harness I bought. Like I said earlier, I didn't want to touch the car harness.

I had to modify the original mounting brackets to remove the locating bumps so that it would fit the new head unit. I don't have pictures of what I did, but you can see the original mounting brackets here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i9neetzctpu2h7p/IMG_20160618_134150.jpg?dl=0
Here's the finished result

Some items of note with this head unit.
1.) I initially had some issues with install apps from the Play store. Something error about "Cannot install to SDCard or internal memory". I used a paper clip to reset the unit and it seems to have fixed it.
2.) Wireless signal strength is weaker than my older 7" 2Din Android 4.4.4 headunit. My other car has one like this https://www.carjoying.com/2-din-car...th-and-gps-navigation-rotate-menu-hd-800.html and it seems to get faster download speeds and signal strength.
3.) The launcher cannot be changed. You're stuck with 2 options only
4.) The "factory settings password" is 3368 - None of the information documented here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Hui_Fei_Type#Factory_Settings_.22Passwords.22 is relevant to this new unit
5.) I much prefer the old menu system. If you watch here https://youtu.be/W-Q3qz0dgd0?t=377 you'll notice a separate app is launched to get to the headunit specific settings. In my other headunit, all these settings are embedded into the normal Android Settings App. This application has a lot of toggles for settings that have lost their translation from Chinese to English. None of toggles are documented so you'll find yourself switching stuff on/off trying to figure out what's changed.
6.) No root Unit can be rooted using Kingoroot. I used an older version but it worked
7.) All things aside, it's actually a very good head unit. I've only had it in for 1 day but it's done everything it's supposed to do
Here are some pictures of the system information

First post updated. I have root

Hi,
my Radio arrived yesterday.....
I've rooted the unit and installed Xposed (Youtube in background, Youtube Adaway, ....)
Everything is working good.
Now I am looking to install a custom Rom on it (DSA Rom)....lets see -> there is a problem with the MCU....its not compatible with the "other" Roms here on XDA

I found this website to have some useful info that is related to this unit
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=738689&st=180
I used Chrome to auto-translate from Russian to English. It's not perfect, but it's good enough.
The videos here are also somewhat relavant
http://www.witson.com/en/introduce001.html?newsTypeID=100022485&newsType=Video F9XXX Android 4.4
Not sure of the ROMs/MCUs here are relevant, not willing to try yet
https://mega.nz/#F!OlpkjYIR!jHVYotE0fh3FJZKmFX9d7g

Not the same unit as yours, but my Joying has worked like a champ

It seems i have the same mcu as you, my radio is a 10.1" screen single din.
Have you got a link that you used to root the device?
Im new to android and its all a bit foreign to me.
Ive just started a thread as i couldn't find any info on my unit and then i found your thread.
Things id like to change about my device is
- get rid of mute in reverse
- get rid of the car picture in reverse
- be able to play an apps (foxtel go) that says it won't play on a rooted device (if possible)
- increase the amount the screen can dim or be able to turn the screen off
does rooting allow you to change any of the above?
thanks

get rid of mute in reverse should be easy. Go to Settings and there is an option in there somewhere, I think it is Car Settings. There are options to Mute on reverse, or lower the volume, or just leave it regular. At least that is how my Joying works.
Not sure what you mean by get rid of car picture?

yeah that option is there but it doesn't change anything the mute still works.
unfortunately i can't post links until I'm above 10 posts, seems you can't upload pictures here without a link. But there is a diagram of a car when the reverse camera comes on, I've been able to get rid of the reversing guide lines but not the car picture.

If you're new to Android, I suggest you don't root it until you're familiar.
To answer your questions
1.) I've not tried, I like the music muted when I put it in reverse
2.) There is a setting in the Car Media Settings App. I'll find it and update this post
3.) I can't help you there, I don't have Foxtel Go.
4.) There is a Sleep functions in Settings->Display that will allow you to turn the screen off after X minutes of inactivity.

4) yeah I think the minimum is 3 minutes was hoping for something less.

To remove the car picture when you put it in reverse, launch the Car Media Settings app, press the 3rd button from the left on the bottom row of options. Enter 3368 as the password, set the setting "Car Radar" to off.

Thank you, joying actually responded with that today.
Also managed to get the volume working in reverse. There was two settings "reverse mute" or something like that had to be turned off and then there was a mute in reverse setting that had to be set high not low - reverse to what I thought.

Any updates on this unit, recieved my JY-UN138 yesterday
what is it ? MCTB or KYL ?
Looks like the interface for the 4PDA forum is the same but i'm not sure it's the same hardware

Neither
According to the system info menu it's JY_60_C6R_7706_5006_CAN(A)_Newlap
See picture https://db.tt/VMWBmyEN

yeah i know that.
Hope there will be some support for them in future
if anyone got a update please post it here

Does that mean, it is currently not possible to update this unit to 5.1.1 with Malaysk ROM? Just thought about ordering this one, but if it is not possible to upgrade to 5.1.1 then probably I will wait...
Also on the Joying page this unit is listed as "PX3 1.8GHz Cortex A9", while most (all?) other units are listed as "RK3188 1.6GHz Cortex A9". Is there a performance difference between these SoCs? What is your boot time with this unit?

Actually the performance is excellent, but indeed it's not upgradable with Android 5.1 now because of total different hardware, unit will die if u try what I have been told.

Official restore
Hello,
had some issues with the unit and seller send me new firmware
Check this and this video for update instructions

Thanks for that. Do you mind taking a picture of the Android version screen of you unit now that you have a different firmware?

Hi,
did you update the unit?
How can I update it? Via recovery?
I have some problems to boot in recovery mode :/
Best regards

android head unit

I have a unknown brand of android head unit, it is android 9.1 and pretty nice looking unit.
I'm wanting to get a better Bluetooth dialer\contacts as it puts it in a crap order and is now half shrunk on my screen also. Is there anyway to get a contacts app that can be used like my phone and just look up who to call and press call? also is there anyway I can make it so when I get a text message it will notify me and I can read or reply from the head unit?
the head unit is quad core but running really slow and I can't even fix the lines on my reverse camera to make them smaller so it's at proper size.
I would like a custom Android setup like Android 10 and be able to fix the issues i am having.
let me know any of the pics of the head unit you might need and specs and I'll get back on here and supply them.

TS10 Head Unit problem with touch Screen

Hi Everone,
I bought TS10 head Unit from a dealer and was everything perfect and smooth, but after 1 month the head unit started to go crazy by opening apps by itself
like the below video, I returned to the dealer again and managed to replace the unit with a new one, but again after like 2 weeks the head unit starts again crazy
please I need your help figuring out what's going on, PS the dealer says that may be the problem with the wiring (is that possible ?)

hi Wissam.pcld, I have a TS10 head unit similar to yours and I have your identical problem with the touch screen going crazy, watching your video it seems to see my screen, I tried to format and reinstall an old firmware but I failed to solve ... did you find any solution?

I have a similar issue with a similar head unit. It's random and intermittent, working OK most of the time, but every once and then goes crazy like that. Have you been able to solve it? Thanks for any advice.
Just as reference, I'm based in Argentina and the Android head unit is branded "Wis Huan", probably a chinese whitebrand.

Phoenix Automotive Android 9 Tesla Style head unit

Hello all!
Brand new here and desperately looking for answers.
I just purchased a used 2019 Ford Fusion with an aftermarket head unit. Below are the details.
Tesla style PX6 SIX-CORE 13.6" VERTICAL SCREEN ANDROID 9 FAST BOOT
While I was impressed at first I’m having issues with the screen turning black but everything is still functioning properly. I’ve went through all the settings and turned off any sleep settings or anything that may have pointed to the screen shutting off. The only solution right now is pressing the reset button on the front which is difficult to do while driving because I have to insert a paper clip to reset it. It’s extremely inconvenient as it literally disables access to everything including all my heat/AC settings.
I’ve contacted Phoenix Automotive directly but they are of zero help unless I provide an order number.
Really in a pinch here as I use this vehicle to Uber with and it’s definitely preventing me from doing my job.
Any help or direction would be appreciated more than I could express!
Thanks so much in advance!

Randomly? After an amount of time? While running specific app?
Outside of that it could be a heat issue, or a loose cable connection.
Have you "opened" car console to inspect the back side of the head unit?
The more info you give the better

Yes, pretty randomly at this point with no specific amount of time. I tried narrowing it down to certain apps but it still does it with my phone disconnected and no apps running.
I did however notice that the unit seems to be pretty warm towards the top which coincidentally is right below vents. Any solutions you can think of for this?
I haven’t taken it apart yet as I just picked up this vehicle last week. I’ll be ordering the tools to access the unit.
I can’t find any documentation on this unit at all and that’s the most frustrating part.

You're welcome. Yes in general the info only these units is very sparse...
So the black screens are happening while using Carlink/Android Auto connection?
Connected by usb?
Maybe a bad usb connection to phone?

It’s baffling to me that a manufacturer would not provide support unless you provide an order number.
The black screen has happened when absolutely nothing was connected, even Bluetooth.
I’ve contemplated returning to the factory unit but at this point it would be challenging to find all the parts.
I love the unit, when it’s working. It’s just so inconvenient because I lose access to all my controls.
Again, everything continues to work when it goes to the black screen so it’s not that the unit is completely shutting down.

And yes, the support across the board from manufacturers is basically nil.

Support costs money.
None of these head unit sellers will spend any time (and therefore money) helping you unless you are their customer.
Your order number also confirms the purchase date which gives them the out of warranty date.
Just because you have 1 of their units does not make you their customer. They are sold worldwide by resellers and support would have to come from them.
It isn't unique to head units or to Chinese sellers. If I buy something and it breaks then I take it to the shop I bought it from.
As to your issue, if everything is working perfectly when the screen goes black then I would remove my unit, open it up carefully and I would reconnect the screen ribbon cable ensuring it is connected properly.

Makes sense. I actually didn’t realize there were so many resellers of these head units. It was a mistake on my part to assume Phoenix Automotive was the only company who sold them. After doing some research I realized the party that I bought the car from could have purchased this head unit anywhere…
Thank you for the suggestion! I didn’t want to pull the unit out but it looks like this is my only option.
