Hello everybody.
I am from Greece and I am new here. I want make some questions about this cheap multimedia screens I bought a plug n play android for Ford focus 2008. Factory setting menu does work fine and I can't calibrate things. Ex background button color, mcu infos etc. Radio doesn't work fine, doesn't let you give name to station etc. Also the most annoying thing is that when you switch off the engine, car dash board stays on all night. When you switch on again, android doesn't start from the beginning booting logo etc, but it open from the last screen before I close the car. That's why I put the old stereo back.Also at factory settings with code 8888 when I choose the model of can bus, it doesn't have focus inside. Only mondeo, fiesta and 2 more. I read something about fake android and that I have to install a new firmware. I also know the fake android because I had same problem with old xiaomi cell phone that I bought from China. Any way. Can someone tell if I have fake android and if i have, where I can find the right firmware to download and install it?thanks a lot
(I can't find how to upload photos)
Nobody can help me?

Hi everyone, my first thread here and absolutely new for android world! Was able to configure everything and like it much, just tryed everything without luck about this camera setting so hope you can help me
I bought an android head unit from ebay, all i can say from it is that it has a 10.1” display, works over android 6.0.1 and connects to the vehicle (chrysler) throw a canbus decoder. I think the system is not rooted, but it does something weird, when i try to read and write files throw the diferent directories, some times it let me do it, most of the times not. But as its a head unit i cant do anything more than what i can do when the system is running...
Ok wheres the problem, when i engage reverse gear, the unit detects it and goes to reversing mode were it looks for a video input from camera and after that a “no signal” messege is displayed, but doesnt let me go back or home, it stay there and there is no camera conected by wire, the camera is conected by wifi (i can perfectlly see it throw an app, and i connected it to parking lights so it starts before i reverse and wile im getting the place were i need to park it gets conected automatically).
What i need is to modify parameters on the head unit to open the reversing app in place of going to reverse mode when i engage reverse gear, do you think is yhis posible? If not, at least its ok for me to disable this function, so i can manually open the app, but as i told before, the unit gets the information throw a canbus decoder, so i cant just cut a wire.
Looked for a script or something, found a com.reversecar file but it dosnt let me modify it, i was just able to change “no signal” messege to “[email protected]” haha but nothing else. There is another file throw /sys/modules but i cant copy it to a usb or sd car so i have a back up if i delete it hoping that disables it.
So any ideas?
Thank you very much!!
Pd: A music control widget for apex launcher that can control stock music player (that is the only one that works with steering wheel controls would be great)
I think the idea is death already!! and New one comes to get all solutions!!
I recently purchased a chogath a7 for 03 Accord first is it any good secondly I cannot get the climate display to show for anything the buttons work but no display for it. It's running Oreo with octa core also when I connect to WiFi the time goes back to something not my region in USA NJ I'm willing to pay anyone who can help me.
If
you mean that the AC is not displaying, there is a couple of things you could try but it's not guaranteed it will work. Go to settings, then find car settings and in that menu go into the Factory Settings option. The code is something that you need to find out from the manufacturer. In there there is a canbus menu option. I suppose it will say "No" in there so just try to find the one matching your car. Then press apply and restart the unit. Try to see if the wheel controls work. If not then try to find an app called vehicle information or something similar. Enter that app and see if you get any info. If you dont then get back to the factory settings again and try another CANbus setting. There might be 2-3 that work on your make/model.
If nothing works and you lose the wheel controls, just change that setting back to "No" and you will need to live without AC and open door information
About the steering wheel controls... You mean that you dont get the volume changer graphic on your head unit?
For the wifi issue, you can just disable the auto time setting in the settings and it will never revert back again
Yes and no
With climate my ac works when I got the button but as far as coming up on the screen I just don't know how high or low it is. Like fan speed whether it's dash or dash and feet. The temperature it's set to those things. I get WiFi. And when I go into my settings I don't have any user settings and I do see ether canbus model selections but only one for 7 gen Accord. Is this something a update would fix or a custom rom
Anyone ?

Did you ever find a solution? I'm in the same boat as you.

Nope i went on eBay and asked other sellers to help me but in the mean time the control for climate stopped working completely. It was only the display but now it don't even control it the lights don't light up when i push the button like they used to either. You can't get any help for these units anywhere. It's frustrating. I can't find ROMs updates help information. Apparently all winner makes cops for more then just head units. The brand don't really mean much because underneath there all the same. I have been trying to find any help at all for one of these units and a 03 Accord ex that has factory navigation and i can't get any help and this site is usually pretty good with help. I learned allot about phones on here but it got nothing with help for the head unit or wiring or anything.
You're best bet is to take it to a mechanic, or a person who deals with chinese head units in real life, and get them to set it up for a small fee
Chinese headunits are pretty wierd, you'll most likely be having to experiment on your own..

I may have a solution for you. Solution is a new CANBUS deocder , the one that supports all settings from your car MCU (decoder interacts with your car computer, some cheap Chinese stuff that came originally with multimedia device are somewhat limited - cheap but expensive in hole multimedia order).
Had similar problems and my seller choosen one of the expensive ones, but I did not order it yet, but told me that this one limited in my car cannot get all the functions from car MCU.
It gave me specs for a most possible replacement so all of you in need of a new canbus to resolve your issues look on Ali Express by this :
- origin : CN
- Year : 2019
- External testing certification : CCC
- Model name: ASPI decoder
The Store on Ali Express is called NEVEGETOR STORE
NOTE: generally this one described works with ALPS multimedia devices
Good luck and tell me if your problem is fixed, post here !
Firstly hello i am new to the forum
i have been searching the web about this ever since i purchased my android head unit (about a week ago) as i have issues i cant seem to get my head around.
The unit is branded up as XONRICH (CHINESE UNIT) its running oreo 8.1
i previously had the same unit in my other car with no issues how ever was running 7.1 android - the settings seem alot more accessible on the 7.1
so here are my issues if anyone could shed some light on this
1- The time when i set to automatic it is one hour fast even when set to time zone london
2 - the canbus keep forgetting the head unit and not working to turn on and off with key ,reverse cam loss and steering controls - all works again after reset - i here you can set canbus to 0 or faint to amend ?
3 i cant access factory settings to play with any of the above as it is not even listed in the menu ..
4. i can not seem to change the boot logo to a personalized upload
Hello, I have all those problem too with android 8.1 and also :
5 - cannot find accessibility settings to approved some apps like maps navigation or any app required to accept service (error service google play)
6 - brightness app is always automatic at boot (even if I untick auto)
I'm starting to think it's a bad deal

me too ... i am sorry to hear you are having the same issues ... i do feel if i could access the factory settings i could probably fix most issues
is your unit also xonrich?
i was wondering if it is possible to flash 7.1 software on to the unit as it is so so much better to use
the manual they send does not match the 8.1 software it is for 7.1 as ive had both units maybe if we could lay our hands on an 8.1 based manual this would help ?
Yes it's bad story, my unit has no name :laugh: I posted here this morning :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...units/8227l-android-unit-8-1-chinese-t3905535
It's incredible to not find any combination to reboot into recovery, I tried all I think
The only acces is MCU Update but without any update ... it's difficult
I have instructions.pdf in system, but there is nothing very important
Mine loses qualizer settings if o turn of car or if i change volume
I am sorry to hear your issues . Maybe this brand unit is not ready for Android 8.1. I am owning ATOTO A6 Pro. It works great even though it is Android 6.0.
Mine is same through seicane website
I found a you tube video

I also own an Xonrich unit and the only problem I have is that when the radio tuner is working, the audios of other applications, for example radar announcers, do not sound, but if I turn off the tuner or put another audio source, including internet radio, TuneIn for example, these radar announcements are perfectly heard. The only thing they don't hear is with the radio tuner working.
I could not find the appropriate configuration to achieve it.

Hi.
I also have some issues with the time on the unit being one hour fast, but after it's been on for a minute or two and GPS is fixed the time changes to the correct time.
Where did you buy your canbus for the unit? I have a Volvo V70 '04 which I want the steering wheel buttons to work with.
I'm also having trouble with the Bluetooth option missing in the settings list. Its only possible to pair the unit with Bluetooth trough the phone pair function on the unit. I really want to pair my OBD2 adapter to my unit but am unable to do so when there is no Bluetooth menu.
Is there a possible way to add this function to the unit trough a software upgrade or such?
Hello dear friends. My headunit is this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32972656000.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802BpouAa
Specs:
9212B_00020_V001 / Android 9.1 Car Edition / XY AUTO J7.3 / 1GB-16GB / CAN Pro 9.0.2 .
My big problem is that i can't install CanBus (CAN PRO: 9.0.2 disconnect).
I ordered from Ali this one : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004121186291.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802H1XVko
But , in factory settings -> Protocol, there isn't any option to select for this CanBus (OUDI).
I sent message to both sellers to help me , but i haven't any answer yet.
My car is Opel Combo C (2005) and the. factory stereo was CD30. Pleaseeeee , can anyone help me with that?
1. Do i have to change the pins in harness?
2. Can anyone upload/share the Canbus folder with host and plugins?
3. I have upgrade the software from 1.000 to 1.008 and the model list, but when I try to confirm Opel (OUDI doesn't have Combo model), just loading and appears a message about connection.
We had the same problem, you just had to go into settings, hard manager, and there's a CANBus file where you have one or two apps to install. Now in your situation, you have nothing to do but reinstall your Android. Alone is very hard (I say it from my own experience), many applications drivers to install, pc laptop performance, and if you did something wrong.... He's gone. You need to look for a company that does that in your city or nearby, or if not like I did. Contact the people from whom you bought the device and agree to reinstall it for free or in exchange for a sum of money.I just have reinstalled my Android on two devices... Free... It only cost me to send them to China, and a lot of patience. From July 5 only two days ago I received the two motherboards. One more thing you need to have basic knowledge to know how to dismantle the motherboard. I hope it was helpful to you with something... Good luck. Michael
Hello, my name is matteo.
I'm new to this forum, so i hope i put this thread in the right place.
I have a ford kuga 2016 that was equipped with sync 2.
I updated it with and android unit ( https://a.aliexpress.com/_mPSzOAK model ts10-4g) with climate controls on screen.
After a bit of fiddling around and few installations everything work fine a part from the climate controls:
Everything related to climate controls works fine, but the problem i have is that the temperature displayed are mirrored to the one on the phisical control panel, for example the right temperature (uk driver side) is shown on the unit on the left side and viceversa for the left temperature.
Now i read on few forums that other people had the same problem when upgrading from sync 2 to sync 3 and that it was actually a mistake from the ford programmers.
Someone told me that probably whoever programmed the unit copyed the sync 3 code into the unit to control the climate controls, and therefore i have the same problem.
i found this solution that works for sync 3:
FMods - Login
I tryed to run the autoinstall.sh file that comes with the fix (obviously not expecting it to work), and of course it says there is an error and it cant find the folder (the one where the change of files should happen in sync 3).
So my questions are:
Does android have a similar folder where i can find these files and just swap them?
If not where can i find the file responsible for the climate controls and how can i change the code with the correct one written in the new fixed files?
I will be more then happy to share details of the unit and pictures or video if it can help

Chinese support people, they are less then useless.
Plus they text to me in chinese on wechat and need to translate every message, so i let you imagine how messages dont make any sense at time.
I've been in contact with them since i got the stereo over 2 months ago, and they told me they were speaking to their engineers and they sent me a new set of cables, but the problem was still there in the same way .
Hense why i did a bit of deper resarch and found that is not hardware but software.
Now they told me to just change the factory canbus settings to one without the ac controls and not have them, and that was their "solution".
As i sort of know whats the problem, i would like to fix it but i don't know how to do that, as im familiar with programming, but i never programmed android in general and dk how the system directorys works etc.
I was wandering if anyone could help me find the file that need modifying and guiding me on how to do it
