OP5 and Android Auto - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Has anyone got Android Auto working? I have installed it OK, but the car says it can see it, but gets an error when trying to use it. Is there a Comms setting I need to change?

SMS auto send over Bluetooth radio

Hello, havent noticed this before on previous note devices, but any time I receive a text while my phone is connected to the Bluetooth radio in my car, it will auto respond with "im currently driving" . Is this a handsfree option on the phone itself? I can turn off HF through bluetooth settings which disables it all together, but prefer it on without the need to an auto text. Ive looked all over the phone looking for an "auto send" option of sorts but no luck found. Did find the auto answer option which I have disabled, but didnt take care of the sms issue. The radio in question is a kenwood, so its no factory radio unit. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This is a function of the radio. Go into it's SMS menu and turn off auto response. If you need more help Google Kenwood and the message you are getting.
Thank you, wasnt sure if it was the radio as its never been an issue before.

Can't get Android Auto to work using EONON GA9449 radio and the A0585 dongle

I installed the Eonon GA9449 radio and connected the A0585 dongle for Android Auto. After downloading the APK file on the Eonon radio, I turned on USB Debugging in the OnePlus 6t Android phone settings. I used the original OnePlus usb cable to connect to the dongle and could NOT get Android Auto to work. I then tried a different data cable and Android Auto would still not work.
WHAT ELSE IS NEEDED TO MAKE ANDROID AUTO WORK?
Is there another application or APK I need to download? (By the way, I never saw Android Auto as an icon or application on the Eonon radio.) Also, what is the "Auto Kit" application mentioned in the following video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHoAZFoSPhwIt because it was not mentioned in the instructions. The instructions mentioned the download of an APK file and provided a link which we successfully did.
I just installed a EONON head unit and I'm facing the same issue. I've reached out to the support team but no response as its a weekend. Were you able to fix the issue you had?
Anyone get it figured out?
Its been since summer 2020 that AA was working fine so I cant remember installing "autoplay" but you can find it here Autoplay . Im going to try installing Autoplay to see if it works.
Heres my thread to try and revive this topic to hopefully figure this out. This has made me realize how laggy the headunit it. AA has been so awesome its all Ive used.
Also I have reached support and waiting response.

Not yet, but I saw the thread that you created and the response that EONON sent you. Also, apart from this issue, for some reason my head unit also keeps randomly restarting while I'm driving, which is pretty scary when the navigation cuts off suddenly.
EONON did reach out and they are working on a solution. But I was able to make mine work by disabling the Chrome app entirely. I didn't use Chrome anyway so doesn't hurt me.
I so have a question about Eplay though. My android auto google maps never goes into dark mode which usually should happen at sunset or be controlled by the headlamp. I have the day/night set to auto in my Eplay app settings.
There is and app called Auto Kit I downloaded directly from the radio web browser and installed it.

New TS10 UIS7862 6gb ram 128gb head unit q&a's

So I bit the bullet and bought myself this head unit:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_9JZiHu
Ad stated that unit is 4gb ts8, but unit shipped and arrived is 6gb TS10.
Plugged everything up unit works nice and smooth as expected, but one seriously annoying bug.
Phone connected to HU and when I try to make a phone call I can hear receiver speaking, but they can't hear me.
Head unit does have internal mic. And Mike does work with other apps
I've checked permissions and Bluetooth app does not even request mic permission.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Anyone else got similar issues?
Maybe custom ROMs available etc?
I've managed to enable USB debugging, got passwords for engineering mode, extra settings etc...
Pics of my headunit attached

Hi there, did you have any luck with this? I've just received the same head unit and found the same problem. I've had a quick troubleshoot but haven't had any success so far. Thanks

I did actually managed to sort it out. Store suggested connecting external mic to 3.5mm plug on the harness that came with head unit. Did that, but nothing changed.
Can't remember exactly what I did, but it's something down the lines of Google Voice setting that it's setup to constantly listen for "hey Google" you have to disable that and than "hey Google" function will only work when you in the maps etc not constantly whilst head unit is on.
If you can't find that setting let me know I'll find it and explain in detail how to do that.
If you have the same issue as me I'm positive that this might be the cause

That was 100% it. Turned the 'Hey Google' activation off and problem solved. Thanks!
Glad I could help. I remember being frustrated fumming looking for answers for almost a week... With seller being let's say close to useless they did try...
I came across answer online somewhere where same issue was happening with a phone not headunit so thought worth a try and it worked
Anyway, good luck
Could you please give a screenshot of the setting you changed or at least where in the settings the function is.
Go to applications/car settings/ click on the left button ---more/ Google services and preferences/ click on account services/ search, assistant & voice/ voice/ voice match.
First line should say hey Google access your assistant any time you say "hey Google" when your screen is on. Turn this off.
This worked for me. I'll make a short video just in case

As promised, sorry video seems a bit blurry phone failing to focus
You have gone over and above. Thank you. Found never have thought to delve that deep into settings for the solution.
I did try to be helpful, because I know how frustrated I was being unable to make a phone call or rather switch to hands free mode on the phone every time there was a call. And it really bugged me. It was obvious that it was software not hardware issue since mic worked everywhere else.
Seller couldn't explain anything either and I ended up ripping my brand new cars dashboard 4 times trying to work it out... So I kind of understand and if it helps somebody else I'm more than pleased with taking 10minutes of my time to do so .
Good day sir

A generic firmware update for TS10 deviced. (link expires in a week - probably worth somebody reuploading)

Place the file in the root of a USB and hit the system upgrade button in the settings.
After the update, go to settings - car settings - extra setting - 123456 - config info - choose the options that were ticked prior to the update (BC6 for me)
The update file is titled: TS10.1.2_20210106.173438_THEME1.zip

Headunit reloaded works very well (for seamless android auto support) on these TS10 units for those who have not tried!

I can't tell you with confidence what units are compatible. I do note it has settings for screen resolution - this is on my 720p device. I also note I needed to adjust the config info setting to match what my stereo comes with after flashing. The canbus receivers are set up using a database queried online and car specific apps and logos are automatically added.
The update is excellent - everything works very well. Head unit reloaded works with wireless android auto and wired (though a little buggy wirrless)
This
Thanks for this. It is useful.
A couple of questions.
1. Can you run that config again if something is incorrect? If so what is the name of the APK? Or do you need to load the whole ROM again to get to that stage?
2. There is BC6,7,and 8. Do you know what specs they refer to?
3. 20210302_221437.jpg shows a mic gain. Could you please advise on the setting path you used to get to that setting page.
Thanks again.

Can you access the extra settings menu on your current firmware (password 123456)
I would copy the settings for BC6/7/8 from there.
You can update the config as often as you like. This sounds like a risky update, probably not worth attempting if you don't currently have similar software with similar settings.
Another password might be useful for somebody:

Cant get android auto to work on android head unit: roadanvi 8gb ram 128gb storage.

Anyone have luck with getting android auto to work on your roadanvi units? I cannot get it working.
I see similar questions frequently here.
With 8g / 128g your unit has absolutely sufficient resources to run all the apps you would need by itself so just load the apps directly on the unit and put away your phone. Why anyone in your situation wants Android Auto escapes me.

Internet.no matter how you swing it, you have to connect your radio to the internet to use all those apps, plus it's much more snappier to use all those apps when they are being accessed through Android auto vs just adding the apps to the radio and using them. Also call audio is horrible over Bluetooth for some reason.

I've been doing the phone Hotspot thing for a while but that is still relatively a few more clicks than I would like to do when getting in my car. I would like to get in May car plug in my phone, and just use it, not plug it in, turn on Hotspot click on radio, make sure it connects to Hotspot, then run Spotify then go home and then run Google maps.

Do you not have Autolink (or Tlink) preinstalled to connect your phone to Android Auto?

So I do but autolink just gets stuck on the connecting message. There have been a. Few times were it briefly went all the way through to Android auto but it closes like 5 seconds later.
Well if i was you would i first try to unbind Autolink to your phone (and the same on the headunit) then reconnect everything again be sure to have bluetooth and WiFi activated when u do this. If the same problem still occur.
Try Tlink 1.95 (im not sure it will work for your headunit but its worth give it a try) to activate it must you be online (WiFi hotspot or similar) in the settings of Tlink can you choose several settings like autoconnect on wireless/wired and so on and it will autostart Android Auto.
Check your Autolink settings also and see if you have it set to autoconnect and if its a activated version.
Here is a link to Tlink 1.95

I wonder if that's the same issue then, both for my Porta register a connection but it just doesn't translate to android auto
UPDATE: Finally got android auto to work. its very glitchy sadly. My process was to uninstal the various Link apps, uninstall android auto, uninstall head unit reloaded.
Then reinstall Android Auto, Autolink, and head unit reloaded. Android auto will still give the "auto no longer available on android devices" message and autolink will never say connected but as long as I open all 3 apps then plug in my phone, it will start the android auto interface. As I said before, its still very laggy, almost unusable at times and I've still not able to play any music. Anytime i press play, it plays for 5 seconds and shuts off, this has been an issue outside of android auto as well.

Trying to identify a UIS8581 unit

Is anyone able to help me identify what unit this is? Its meant to be a higher end unit but finding it really sluggish and also looking at some of the reports its using > 6GB of ram OOB out of 8GB (Not sure how the 2GB unit would have worked) .
Sometimes when turning it back on from standby when playing music etc its really jumpy as its its doing something in the background. Anyone got any recommendations on apps to show what using up all the CPU?
It appears to be a UIS8581 based unit, I have run the HWGetinfo tool on it but its reporting its not a FYT unit.
Post Android system information, including MCU version

This is a completely known unit in here. Try search yourself in this forum for ZLA_ you won´t find anything.
Bit harsh - I have been search but how am I meant to know to search for ZLA not ZLH? Also, searching for "ZLA_" returns a total of 1 hit, a google search for `XDA developers "ZLA_"` also returns just a couple hits not in this forum?
I'm also with the same thing.

ZLA was a typo... sorry.
My posting was not meant to be harsh, but this unit is really completely unknown on XDA.
Yeah that looks like the BMW equivalent to mine with a slightly different CPU

Talking with the seller, mine was sold by COIKA.
It seems that it follows some patterns that are very similar to other HU's, you just need to make the following to update for example, the boot logo:
Folder structure:
- HUTUpdate
- OS
- bootanimation.zip
- logo.png
- upgrade.en (empty file)
- upgrade.system (empty file)
So, if you find other examples of HU types that are Android-based, this may work.
To upgrade the MCU is
- HUTUpdate
- mcu
- upgrade.mcu
- BMW_8581.bin
I was trying to make backups with other tools, but no success yet.

Which HU do you have?
I have also an UIS8581 Unit von Coika. I have software version ZLH_AD_OS_1.86, and MCU LZH_qxha20830A_Q3H0_8581...
I have also some problems... the bluetooth does only work as a headset. you cant switch it on and use it as a normal conection for apps.
Once you switch to original system and then back, all apps are closed( spoitify etc) you need to restart them...
also my sim does not work at all, cause there is no APN setting in the system. once i try to enter it it says user is not able to change settings...
all in all the system is nor really well programmed and has lot of bugs.
If there is anyone who can help with get all the normal functions back pls contact me?
Best regards

I use my phone via original Bluetooth on the car. I don't use zlink anymore. As I have the headunit online it makes it easier to use gmaps etc directly.
Do you have a SIM card installed? Does it work? My one does not connect as there is no apn and I cannot set new one. Did you bought it from coika?

i use only zlink...because i like the home of carplay..i don't use the sim card ...yes i bought from coika by aliexpress. for me you need disable original bluetooth of car..and use only headunit..one question..but the our unit is mtcd?
I don't know who is the main manufacturer. Coika says they are the own manufacturers. But don't belieb them. Struggling with the service people since days... Apps are closing after you switch to car system... bluetooth is only working with mobile phone...no obd device etc... SIM card is not working...but they keep me waiting
Similar unit here (Mercedes version):
Version: ZLH_BZ_OS_1.80
MCU: ZLH_BZL221030A_8581_13
Android version 12 (fake - it's 10 - see below)
More info in attached photos.
The 8888 code gets you into factory settings, as in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-not-fyt-based-read-first-post-first.4525675/
I installed the "Fake Device Test" app and it closes after 1 or 2 seconds (possible sabotage by the device?) but I managed to get the OS info by quickly flicking down the screen while videoing it, then playing back in slow motion. This confirmed the Android API level as 29 (ie Android 10). It also seems to confirm the claimed 8GB RAM and 1920x720 screen are correct.
I want to have a poke around with ADB and busybox, but so far haven't been able connect. The unit claims to be rooted.
Wireless Android Auto works, but one minor annoyance is that my phone seems to give up on Android Auto before the unit is ready to connect. A quick toggle of bluetooth and reconnect to the unit once it's ready is necessary. Also, you need to use a cable for AA when the ZLink app on the device is set to HD - wireless AA on HD delivers a pillarboxed display.
And despite all the images on AliExpress showing 5 icons per page in the launcher, I've only got 3 per page. Is this launcher configurable?
I don't know why exactly, but I have a nagging suspicion that the screen might be a lower resolution than reported, I need to see what the kernel/sysfs says. Do these units have a dmesg somewhere? Or could there be a problem caused by the screen being reported as only 7 inches, as I saw in the output of one of the System Info apps I tried? (Screen is actually 10.25 inches.
One thing I really want to do is get a full backup in case of future problems. Is using TWRP possible on these devices? There is a 1.5 GB "update.zip" on the internal storage, I need get a copy and examine it.
Investigations continue, I'll report back. In the meantime, does anyone have any thoughts on the above?
