Hello! I own a Skoda Octavia mk2 2008/2009 and I would like to upgrade the stereos in it. Current ones do not include bluetooth, but thats something I would love to have in it. I have thought about android stereos and something else, but seems like android would fit best? What do you think? It should work with all dashboard buttons the default stereo also works with. I have seen multiple different chinese brands in aliexpress, but I'm not sure which has the best sound quality.
My current stereo:

}
Now to the real question:
What stereo would you suggest for ~150-200€ budget WITH bluetooth? Would be awesome if you also knew that it would 100% fit.
Thank you!
Hi, i bought this from European site for 85$:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000046636557.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.4c041ae9COaKGp
I was quite surprised, it works quite fast, it is just sleeping (not turned) but does not draw much power when off (just like sleeping tablet).
Wheel buttons work, radio has strong signal. This version has only 1gb of ram, it is enough for preinstalled software but fe waze or spotify is a little slow.
Preinstalled Sygic works great but does not provide traffic info.
Beware different frame size as seen in picture, i bought used but if you are not as lucky, new costs around 1000CZK.
I also installed this launcher:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=altergames.carlauncher&hl=cs
I am sure you can find even more satisfying radio for 150+ USD, there are some models with 4GB ram and Android 10.
Is there any models you suggest for 150+ USD? I can't really find any.. :c
Hard to suggest something i am not familiar with, try to look here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesal...&minPrice=120&maxPrice=200&page=1&groupsort=1
Take a look at this:
https://www.erisin.com/erisin-es272...b-carplay-for-skoda-superb-octavia-p0542.html
I have a unit for Mercedes and I'm very satisfied.
I bought mine from Pumpkin and its ok.
Make sure to buy a unit which will be delivered with an can-bus adapter for Skoda|VW!
As your car is a before-facelift model, be aware that not everything will work (parking distance, changing climate).
Also keep an eye on the battery, because on this building year the new radio can drain the battery empty.

Hi All!
I bought a N4 off ebay that had its back replaced, here is what the listing said, "This phone has a replacement back glass WITHOUT wireless charging or NFC capabilities." which I dont really care about but my WIFI range and GPS is terrible.
I've tried multiple kernels and roms *including complete stock everything*
Its not my setup as my HTC one s, multiple laptops, wii, ipod, ect,ect all work perfect on my Asus Router rt-n66u.
Does anyone have anything I can try?
Also have a thread up for my gps : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365187
Thanks for reading!
Since the replacement back does not support NFC or wireless charging, do you think it was suitable to support any other wireless feature that was designed for the Nexus 4? Does Bluetooth suffer the same reduced sensitivity? If the replacement back is not made of similar materials withsimilar characteristics as the original back it might be absorbing or reflecting signals, interferring with proper wireless recepton.

Looking at this post it looks like whoever replaced this phones cover didn't transfer over the copper attenna's , that would be my guess and would explain my horrible wifi and GPS ... luckily my phone reception is good.
I'll have to open up my back now and take a look... now to have a T5 screwdriver at work..
Unfortunately cant find a t5 here at work , I'll have to wait till I get home.

Looking at this image looks like I should only be missing the top right 2 antennas for Band 5 , GPS, WLAN, BT. I assume I have the other 2 antenna's as my phone reception is good .
Anyone know where I can buy just the antenna's?
Hi everyone
I have a no-brand unit directly purchased in China. It is a Sofia 3GR, 2GB ram, Android 6.0.1.
It is more or less the same as the Joying unit, for what I saw on this forums.
One day I factory-reset the unit, and the sleep function is gone. I then tried updating the ROM to a Joying ROM (2018-01-10 Android 6.0.1), but still the sleep function is gone.
I tried clean install by wiping all data in the internal storage.
The sleep function is not there even when no other apps are installed (just the stock/system apps), neither not rooted nor rooted.
The unit will shut down after 5-10 seconds when I turned off the ignition. Before I factory reset the unit at the first time, it can stay at sleep for around 2-4 days.
What could I do to make it back? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

One of the first options in the Settings is whether the unit needs to switch off, or go to sleep mode. Did you check that?

I know it is NOT. For what I saw on this forums, all Joying problems/solutions can be applied to my unit. So I just said it is a no-brand but more or less a Joying.
And I guess Joying and my unit are made by the same factory. It is usual in China that many shops are actually selling the same products (with their own brand name) made by the same factory.
And it looks like Joying is one of the popular units here. That’s why I tried to ask if anyone had this problem before on his/her Joying or “no-brand but Joying like” unit. And I hope the same solution can be applied to my unit, or at least I am open to try.

Hello everybody from Italy,
Can you please help me with this issue? I've just purchased an Android 10 AllWinner head unit, had it installed but the original rear camera, parking sensors, beeps, etc are no longer working. Before everything was great on the original MyLink.
I've attached pictures so that you can have a look.
A Raise canbus was sent together with the car radio but even if it is set to CHEVROLET TRAX, it is not working.
Anybody knows how to help for this GM car? THANKS

the sad fact about getting a aftermarket unit that's not specifically made for your vehicle is that you won't be able to get any of those things working especially if they communicate through proprietary connectors and communication methods. You might be able to get the camera working through some special wiring and wiring diagrams. Other than that I doubt you will be able to get the ultrasonic parking sensors working with a basic aftermarket unit by itself.
And on another note if you had somebody install it other than yourself it will be even more difficult getting it to work. Being that you have no knowledge of what's going on behind your dash right now

Hi,
My android head unit has no option for GE - Trax.
I set the can bus to GE - Aveo. I use Raise can bus.
I mis plugged the connector on head unit side upside down, but after fixing it works fine.

Bought this radio for my 2021 Toyota C-HR XLE, because i need rca outs for front/rear/sub as im running a 5 channel amp. BUT STILL HAVING A FEW ISSUES.
1. First off it doesn't fit all the way into the dash, sticks out about a 1/4 to 1/2 " all the way around. had to put a strip of blue painters tape across top of unit to keep it from falling out while driving which works. Looks like the outside tabs on bezel seem to align up with dash slots, but something is keeping it from locking into place.
2. audio cuts out when reversing. - i found the option to turn this on/off, but no matter which way you set it, it still cuts audio off.
manufact. said they will send a different canbus ? the one they sent me has alot of different settings, they told me to use xp for canbus type, but after trying every single option under xp/toyota nothing fixed the issue. so will have to wait to see what they send.
3. OEM rear camera does not come on. car switches to camera view when reversing, but nothing shows. they sent me a diagram to follow, but that didnt work either, and since that they keep sending me diagrams for connecting the included cameras but nothing to get my oem one to work.
Steering wheel controls started working as soon, as i connected canbus, so didnt have to do manual setup, but i think today, i may try and remove canbus to see if it fixes the reversing/audio issue, if it does, will see if i can manually add the steering wheel controls back or not. probably going to be a waste of time, but figured i'd at least try and see what happens.
If anyone else with a toyota c-hr has ahad any fixes for these issues, please post what worked for you. - many thanks
Hello,
I'm new to this area of tech. Im trying to get the latest firmware versions. Andriod Auto, and Some wheel keys wont work. Found several refrences to upgrading to B7.3.8, fixing the issues im having. I also believe my Canbus has outdated software, and the MCU can all be upgraded. The firmare on my CAN Pro ( Hiworld WeiChi-Foucs V2.24.0 ) can also be upgraded. I just can not find what exactly im supposed to download. The Firmware would have to work with a 768*1024 (mipi_YUNT_S6D7). Came with these specs in a Vertical mount.
SpecificationsSystem: Android 10.1
Memory: 2GB (RAM)+32GB (ROM)
Screen size: 9.7 inch
Screen resolution: 1024*600 WRONG
Power output: 4*45W
USB: Double USB interface
Factory setting keyword: 8888
Multilingual settings, Time setting
Tips
Please check the Voltage of car radio: 12V. Short circuit may happen if applied to different car voltage.
Please connect 3 lines correctly before turning on the monitor: Please check wiring: the black wire is connected to the negative pole, yellow wire is connected to the positive pole( 12V B+), and the red wire is connected to the ignition switch positive(ACC). If this is not turned on, the red and yellow wires can be combined and connected to the positive pole.
Please must use our power cables to connect our car radio.
