BMW e90 keeps displaying metric instead of imperial on start up - Android Head-Units

I installed the Joying JY-BO124N3 Android head unit which works great. The problem I'm having is the car is displaying metric units on start up. To fix this, I have to go into the head unit settings and change to imperial/American units which will then display the correct units on the dash/climate control. The headunit itself always displays the correct Imperial units (mph, F, etc). I contacted the manufacturer who said it wasn't possible to permanently change through the head unit. The Eunavi Android head unit in my Toyota doesn't have this problem so I'm assuming the problem is with the BMW. Is there anyway I can permanently program/code out metric units so only Imperial information is displayed on my dash?
I did a review on the head unit and show this problem at 3:23:

Bump

Anyone?

I can’t help other than to say I had the same issue with my BMW E90 and an Eonon unit so it seems like this might be an E90 thing with these aftermarket head units?

Ah, thanks for the reply. This is super helpful. I'm just relieved to hear that someone (unfortunately) had the same issue as me. If my Joying and your Eonon are doing the same thing, then I can pretty much narrow down that it's on BMW's end.

Hello
because now most of china OEM DVD Player factories can not resolve the ford Convers +problem ,their canbus can not work with the system ,so steering wheel control ,and convers+ information can not display on the dash ,that's why Joying can not support on your car . If you have Ford car ,when you want to buy a new DVD player ,better give a picture of your dashboard to the sellers ,and consult them about convers +
Hi,
I've sent them a picture of my dashboard and they said their device is not compatible with my car.
Obviously I'm going to buy an Eonon unit. Their devices at least have support for steering wheel.
Thank you for the help.
This video seems to be proof that some unit can talk with Converse+

Resurrect an old thread. Interesting video, we don't know what the unit is or who the supplier is (both of the Canbus and Headunit)? Does anyone know what the current state of affairs is regarding Android 5.1 Headunits and Convers+ ?

I'll second this 'bump' as I too am looking for a solution to get full Convers+ functionality with my Android head unit (Auto-Pumpkin in a Mondeo Mk4) :good:
Seems that the Convers+ issue has not been resolved yet....
on the Joying page there is a blog that clearly states:
And you can installed our Ford Special Car Radio directly in your Ford II (2008-2012), Mondeo (2007-2011), S-MAX (2008-2010). But all of our Android Car Radio cannot support the Ford Converse+ system.
I have seen youtube videos that show otherwise.
So what does support really mean in this case?

I have found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXXcxf1RFqk
The pre-facelift convers+ works with kitkat 4.4.4.
still says no convers+ ( i dont even know what that is), but I know there is a new 2GB unit for the Mondeo:

I got Xtrons pf75fsfa 5.1 unit for my Mondeo mk4 2008. It works with steering wheel buttons, but not with display (i have small display, not converse).
The unit is working surpringsly well - radio reception is good, gps is fast, sound is much better than the oem cd6000.
I have some wishes for the software, but for now is perfect.

Yes. I have canbus box attached to the HU wiring. But phone buttons are not recognized.
No idea where is the problem.

I think that canbus box doesn't interpret them and they won't work.

I have the same problem with my head unit. The phone controls does not work. The volume buttons works. Is it possible with BOSION can bus will have a result? Does anyone have the BOSION can bus diagram for CAN-TX / RX?

Chinese Headunit Canbus

Hello...
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this or not so apologies.
I've just bought and installed a chinese Android Auto head unit into my Ford S Max. I think the unit is an XY Auto 3.1 8227L, nothing on the box but this is what is specced in the system info. I've purchased a Connects2 Canbus adapter to use with this so that i can retain steering controls etc.
Everything is all wired up correctly and working but I can't find Connects2 in the Canbus setup list or a Ford S Max under any of the other canbus manufacturers. Does anyone know how I can sort this out?
Other issue is that I no longer get my parking sensor beeps - does this go through the canbus as well?
Not fitted a aftermarket unit in years so no real experience with canbus setup.
Thanks
You need to have a look at the right forum... I asked a mod to move your posting to the right one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units

Help Identifying Unit

I installed a Sinosmart head unit in my car but Im wondering what it actually is. Here are some screen shots. I know it isnt FYT based at Ieast.
Thanks

Any reason I shouldn't buy an Idoing?

I have a Subaru Forester Limited with the Harmon Kardon audio system that came stock with the car.
I'm looking to upgrade to something that will provide Android Auto and Apple Carplay without needing to plug in the phone. I'm currently leaning towards Idoing but am open to any suggestions you all might have.
I don't have much experience when it comes tinkering with electronics or cars, so I figured one of these all one solutions would make it the easiest for me. This way I'm not going to be splicing any wires and it will all be plug and play (I hope).
I've reached out to Idoing because I'm not exactly sure which model I would even pick. These are the ones that seem to fit my vehicle, but I'm not 100% sure.
Idoing 9"Android Head Unit For Subaru WRX STI XV Forester 2016-2021 Car Autoradio Multimedia Video Player Navigation Stereo GPS
Idoing 9"2.5D QLED Car Android Radio GPS Multimedia Player Head Unit 4G+64G For Subaru WRX Forester 2016-2020 Navigation NO 2DIN
Idoing 9"Car Android Radio GPS Multimedia Player IPS 2.5D For Subaru Forester 2016-2018 4G+64G 8 Core Navigation Zlink Head Unit
So am I looking the wrong direction? Is there a brand that I'm overlooking that would be better for me to get?
Thanks.
Ask seller to provide screenshots of Android System information, including MCU. With that you could know what is being offered and then research the forums.
You probably want a UIS7862 FYT based uint.

Thank you! I'm going to add that to my list of questions for them.

Are Canbus Decoders Universal?

Hey guys,
So I was interested in getting the Teyes CC3 head unit for my 2013 Accord EX-L that comes with dual screen. Teyes doesn’t offer compatibility with the trim of my car since it only supports the single screen model. But I came across the Ossuret head unit which is compatible with my car and was wondering if I could apply their canbus decoder onto the Teyes head unit or any canbus decoder from AliExpress onto the head unit. If you guys have any solution or information that would be a great help.
Similar question. Anyone ?
Why not asking Teyes if they support that specific CAN box?
They're selling an universal unit so that should be a legitimate question.

I contacted them, but they just said custom harness. From my research though the accord uses BNR. No way for me to know till i try so hopefully when my harness comes it'll work.
