I have the same unit. I can only quote what Eonon told me which is that you can't change anything on the home screen. I know that' s not exactly what you asked, but I assume it's the same. There is a steering button learn function, but I think I only saw that come up after I installed an update Eonon sent me. I have not played around with it. Be cautious the update introduced a couple of other bugs (no volume control after using the Google Assistant, keyboard keeps reverting to Japanese (I've set it to English multiple times, but once the HU restarts, the keyboard comes up in Japanese again.
I'll get a video of accessing the steering learn function and get back you.

[Q] accessing MENU via. Bluetooth Keyboard or mouse

Hi all,
I recently picked up the 2.0MHL to HDMI cable along with a Bluetooth mouse and Bluetooth (what appears to be Apples style) keyboard to use with my S4. So far I'm enjoying the experience in terms of uses and navigating relatively easily through the phone. Currently using NOVA as my launcher. Volume, home button, back buttons were easy to figure out. Accessing the multi-window, recent apps/task killer is not a problem. I can't however, for the life of me figure out how to access the MENU button via. the keyboard or mouse. I've done various searches and YouTube videos online and people mention how the right click doesn't access the menu but neglect to mention how to ACTUALLY access the menu. I did see 1 video where it mentioned Control P but when I had tried that, it was a shortcut to select either music player or Google play. Has anyone else had this problem? Any luck with finding the right short key? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

I know this is a late reply to your question, but maybe I can help. I bought a mini bluetooth keyboard designed to use with windows, and for a while I had the same problem. I. could access everything on my S3 except the menu. I searched, found your post, then started randomly trying different buttons. I'm not sure if your board has this key, but it's between the right Alt and Ctrl keys, it looks like a square with an arrow pointing inside it. That`s the menu button on mine. Hope this help, and sorry for the long reply.

Finally happy with my Android stereo

EDIT: So I wrote this post to help others and show what I've done to make the unit look amazing, but seems I can't post pics because I'm new. Not entirely sure I can be bothered now, which is a shame because the launcher looks great.
So I bought the Seicane unit for my 2015 Subaru Outback
First impressions
Sound quality was actually very good, as good as my premium audio that came with the car.
Very quick to boot, basically it's up and running by the time I leave my street
The 3.5G usb modem that came with it didn't work so I ditched that straight away
The interface SUCKS
The screen is bright and clear and capacitive touch is great
The unit also looks 100% stock with no external branding.
4 months on
I found I still hated the interface so I have changed it so it looks like this
Launcher https:// ibb.co/fx5Bfz
App Drawer https:// ibb.co/fRPRDK
I used NOVA Prime launcher with the following tweaks
5 icons wide and 2 icons high for launcher page
Hid the status bar
Swipe up for app drawer
5 icons wide and 2 icons high for launcher
Adjusted text size to suit (I think it's the largest available)
Renamed certain apps to fit in the launcher better
I also installed the Simplicon Icon Pack from Google Play and used this to replace all icons that don't look quite right including the default radio app. Notice they are all circles now.
I also mapped the steering wheel controls to the following
The only button that is out of place is that the Answer button is both an Answer and Hangup Button, this makes sense to me as you can't hangup without first answering.
The hangup button is now a way to launch Android Auto.
Steering Controls https:// ibb.co/mwV2Lz[/IMG]
Android Auto
I have installed android auto natively on the stereo, this means no phone connection is required, it also unfortunately means phone calls can't be made from within the app. Fortunately tapping the answer call button on the steering wheel brings up the native dialler. So it's not too immersion breaking, but it is one of my only gripes.
Sound Quality
Sound quality is great....except when Google maps/Google assistant or Android auto is giving navigation directions, for some reason it feels like the audio is being affected by these apps and the quality goes downhill. Often times hitting the voice assistant button and then quickly hitting back can get things back to normal, but there is definitely a problem here. But as these stereo's are in a grey area of support nothing is being done about it.
I think overall I'm extremely happy with where things are, my next goal is to build a very simple app that once open begins streaming audio from a predefined source. My goal is to install this app x8 or so, create a custom icon for each radio station in my area and put these all on page 2 of the launcher. The plan is I will be able to scroll one page to the right and have all 10 of my favourite radio stations with their logos as the icons, I want to be able to press any station once and have the app launch and start streaming until I press stop, or another app takes over, whether that be another streaming app or my spotify library.
I think it's now a massive improvement from the default setup and worked perfectly for MY needs.
Here it is installed in the car https: //ibb.co/fwPe0z

Help with T3 k2001M

Hi all i bought and installed this unit:
Model: T3 K2001M
Board: exdroid
Hardware: sun8iw11p1
Product: K2001M_MSG_S212101
CPU ARM Cortex A7
Display: 600x1024
Android Version: 6.0.1 (even if it display 7.1.1 in settings)
Build ID: K2001M_msg_s212101.20180919.14412246
Kernel Version: 3.10.65
(all the details are also in the attached pictures readed with AIDA64)
My problem is that the software doesn't allow me to chenge the default music player and radio app (the installed one is without RDS Name station). If i select another music player when i open the Navi software or the settings the music stops. I wish to install on it a better firmware also to able the steering controls because this unit as the canbus but i can't activate it.
Can someone please help me to update the software?
Thanks
I just bought one of these same units to put in an old pickup truck I'm playing around with. I was able to get the steering wheel controls to work with the factory controls by tapping into the correct wires in the vehicle wiring harness. Then playing around with the Car Connect app to program the steering wheel buttons to the unit. I just googled the wiring diagram and pin placement for my vehicle. The lack of RDS and the music stopping when opening another app is my next challenge. Hopefully someone here can chime in.
my unit is a t3-k2001m
after firmware up gradation screen dosent fit 100%, no matter how many time and various FW i tried every time same issue, 20% of screen edge is cut on right side
First of all, I am glad to hear someone bought this radio (and is figuring out how the hell it works) because me too.
If you want to keep spotify or others on background running, youtube vanced or some other apps you must go to the menu showed by attached thumbnail from ceyrekoto, then hit on tab general settings and scroll down the left sidebar until the end. Tap over "White List". Then use add and delete to open a list with radio buttons in order to select which apps you want to run on background.
Any other option like battery settings (three dot button, and background apps) didn't work for me. Also I tried before to change in android settings -> memory and keep Spotify as "not opttimized, that also won't make any difference.
Well I write a bonus for you, forgetting messy things with Chinese cheap radios.
The final archievement was using FCC Car Launcher and Spotify (may be you can look for similar settings in other launcher).
It worked for me fine and with the rounded album art showing from spotify even static picture from Youtube.
When installing FCC Car Launcher and choose a skin showing album art widget you should do this:
1 you must attend to do the checks on android options launched by FCC Car Launcher in its starting guide (about enabling notifications and etc.)
2 when selection of album art settings appears, select the three aps you want to use (I selected Spotify, Youtube and Radio). This enables control buttons back, play/pause and next that appear on this widget.
3 Tap Home to launcher (if not select as always to replace the actual launcher by FCC Car Laucher, there is also the option on Android Settings to change laucher)
4 open spotify, go to library and look for Settings
5 search for the option enable notification for third party apps
6 Play some music
7 Home to laucher and you can see a floating notification by FCC Car Laucher telling the Artist - Song playing.
8 If you are lucky the rounded widget will show the album art. You can test it with youtube if you want
The messy thing I suffer now is that Album Art frozen and but I can read correctly in widget the current correct artist - song playing, also control playing with buttons.
I forgot to tell you anything about steering wheel control, the thing I know I needed an intermediate device to connect those buttons to the radio. Look for your car specific device on aliexpress, I have mine for peugeot 206
Hope it helps
Bye
you have this firmware android 7 ? you can send me please this update, my mail is [email protected]

App windows go small after tapping app switcher button

Hi, I recently installed a Joying head unit, JY-UQ135N4G (7in 2Din with physical volume knob). When I tap the app switcher button on the home screen, it resizes all the apps windows really small, centred within the screen. How do I get these app windows to fill the screen like normal? I'm new to Android so may have inadvertently tapped something. I've posted on Joying forum but had no replies. Thanks in advance.

Frustrated, I reluctantly reinstalled the firmware & did a factory reset. It fixed the problem but the trade off is re-doing all my settings again & reinstalling apps. Oh well…

launcher and climate controls for car

I just got a new head unit for my car. The launcher seems to be VERY limited. I am unable to change the home screen or determine what launcher is being used (perhaps it is custom built). The unit appears to be XYauto 9212A running Android 12.0. Under apps it just shows "launcher" and the version is "null", so not very helpful.
I would like to try other launchers, but am hesitant because I don't want to lose the climate controls that appear at the bottom of the screen.
Does anyone know if the climate controls are a widget, or are they built into the launcher?
Would I need to do anything to backup the current system before trying a new launcher so I can get back to the current launcher if needed?
Many thanks in advance.
Post Android system information including mcu version.
Then search forums based on mcu prefix for information
Here is the info on my system.
I didn't see anything relevant on the forums.
You can use any launcher you want.
The upper buttons are always visible exactly as the climate control.
These are provided by the system.apk (named different on some devices)
The launcher will just take place between both parts. Not a good solution but it is like it is.
If somethings not working, you can just set the launcher back to the original one. Nothing will get destroyed.
At least you should know that this is no real Android 12. That shows also the current used ROM of 2GB, that is never sufficient for Android 12.
Thank you for the info.
This is EXACTLY what I wanted to know.
I can try other launchers without disturbing the climate controls.
You are correct about it not being Android 12. I ran "Fake Device Test" and it shows android 8.x and only 1GB memory :-( I'll have to remove it from the car and send it back.

I like my climate control to be physical, is there any way to disable the climate control from my alps 9211B Android Head Unit? I found nothing in regular settings under 8888 and 8878 doesn't do anything. Any ideas?
Sorry for necromancy

Sorry to say... At least I found no real way to get rid of that.
I use mine in horizontal mode (can be turned 90°) and I use Fcc Car launcher on it. I still have the top bar with these annoying buttons and so fare no way to get rid of them.... but I stopped working on that unit, it´s just now a nice music box in my office, built into a shelf for now.
