I just installed mine yesterday. Can you clarify two things...
Voice search? How is this done
How do you lock the device/screen for when the car is at the mechanics.

You will have to download a 3rd party app. On Google Play Store just search for "Screen Lock" and pick the best one.

Hi, you have posted "Edit" link to your video, it will not work for anyone but you. Correct link is:

Thanks. Weird though as it works on another forum!

Is it possible to get short video of how the spotify app looks/works on this unit.
I'm about to purchase a 1024x600 5.1.1 unit and I've been trying to find a video of someone using spotify at this resolution and it's next to impossible to find one.
thank you

Thank you very much for that, I've ordered my unit just then. I'm excited, my cell provider allows for unlimited Spotify/Pandora/Google play streaming so this will be perfect.

I have a different sized Joying, mine is for a Jeep, but it is Android 5.1, MTCD. Spotify works like a champ
Let's you save it SD
And using MTCDtools let's you use the steering wheel controls

Actually, you can set up a pattern, pin, or passcode without a third-party application. The lockscreen section is hidden from Settings, but if you go to the "More" section below WiFi and Bluetooth, then select "VPN", it will show a message saying that a lockscreen is required to set up a VPN. You will be prompted to create one and will be transferred to the hidden lockscreen section to set one up.
While you can access the lock screen settings, it does not enable the lock screen. My bad.

Seicane 10.1 inch Android 6.0 head unit in a Jeep Wrangler

So I have used Joying for over a year, but when my last unit died, I decided to pick up a Seicane and see how it compares. I had my eye on this unit for awhile:
10.1 inch Jeep Wrangler head unit
I made an unboxing video:
https://youtu.be/mHTSLw4HBUw
be warned it is pretty shaky, but i think I fixed that issue on the install video (which I will post in a day or so).
I also got my Joying replaced with 10 inch unit, so I plan on doing a comparison of the two units.

pics of the back of the unit:

Images from the unboxing:
Installed:
i have only had it a few days, and mine does not have a MicroSD card slot, but it will treat a USB like a microsd card:
As you can see in this screen shot it appears to have the SD card icon for my Samsung thumb drive. The name is "Samsung USB", but that is just what I named it.
Google Play Music and Google Maps both recognized it as external storage like they would with a MicroSD card

Here is the music player using MP3s on a USB, weird how some and some did not show album art
Here is the video player playing music videos from the same USB

Here is my About Device page, I am generally only familiar with Joying devices, anyone notice anything interesting?

My friend is very interested in buying this unit. We're you able to keep the steering wheel control through the canbus?

yes all the steering wheel controls work.
left rear side buttons:
track forward
mute
track back
right rear side:
volume up
source change
volume down
front buttons:
VR = mute
phone = opens up phone app.
the only issue is you can't change them to anything

Nice setup. Can't wait to hear your take on the usability. They offer a similar one (probably the same internals) for a Cayenne I want to try.

Part 2 of my install video is up

So how is the functionality compared to a Joying?
Looks nice.

It has some benefits over Joying. I think the screen looks better, but that could be the placebo effect. Android looks more like 6 as opposed to 5. I have had no problems with apps, everything seems to install smoothly. Never had a problem with Google Maps.
Across the top notification bar, you can see multiple icons instead of the one icon like you see on Joying.
Joying has the dormancy which this one is lacking. However others say the newer one has it. And i think Joying sounds better

Here is the overview of the unit

Thanks. That was very helpful. I noticed there was a fan setting in the advanced settings that I think you skipped over. Did you open the thing up before you installed it?
There is a blank section of video starting just before 30min.

please not: seicane has very bad/no service if it brakes down..
Consider before you order with this firm, you mostlike find a simular device from an other seller cheaper and with better service/support.

Here is a video about wiring a PAC harness to a Joying.
The same principles would apply to Seicane or Dasaita. And if the default harness doesn't work with the Alpine and/or Infiniti, it will definitely work with a PAC.

Help with identifying model, and problems with sound quality between apps

Hello, I am new here so I apologize if I am breaking rules with this post. I have been searching for some time to try to identify my unit, I've spent nights reading through the other threads and then give up and finally decided to just post and hope for the best. I want to mod my unit to be able to take advantage of the viper app to improve sound quality. As is only the youtube app and standard radio app will turn on my sub. Spotify and Pandora which I would prefer to use have the worst sound quality from all speakers and the sub barely turns on to a point of me thinking the radio wasn't working when i first installed because I was testing my sound with Pandora then switched to radio and immediately noticed the difference. I intend to run an amp for all speakers and sub, so I'm also curious if anyone knows if any of these units have pre outs for front, rear and sub as i may then look at getting a different unit since mine only has 1 set of outs and then the single sub channel. Anyway, first things first I have not been able after trying very hard and search to identify my unit. I've come to the conclusion it is an unbranded unit and is Model number "AC8227" and MCU version "IAP36/CM02.0.00.02_161215_19:42" i'm also going to include pictures of what that screen looks like. Any assistance with identifying or what I need to do if i can to root this would be helpful, thanks in advance and sorry again if I didnt follow some etiquette of posting.

when i looked into this one it seems similar. I couldn't find a lot of info about rooting though. I mainly just want to be able to use viper for the better sound quality. I get excellent sound from my amped speakers and sub on youtube app, radio app, and bt music app, but spotify and pandora are much quieter and barely push the sub at all. I'm not sure if anyone else has had similar issues but the problem here is that if I tune my amp to push harder to compensate for the quieter apps, then it will be very over powered on the audio that are working correctly. I was also wondering if the youtube app is possibly tuned differently since it is streaming video not music possibly? like if the unit has different sound settings for video playback than audio alone?

Looking for advice on a Android head unit for my VW Touareg

I don't know why I didn't just come to XDA first. I recently picked up a 2008 VW Touareg. The factory Nav system has to go, it's like playing a 8-bit video game and don't even get me started on how tedious it is using the search function without touch screen controls.
What I am looking for in a head unit:
Obviously running Android OS
Customizing ability, aka rooting, custom ROM and/or Launcher. I here THIS launcher is good, but I don't know if it works with all Android head units.
Backup Camera support (a bonus would be to be able to keep my OEM camera)
DVR to use with dash cameras
Steering wheel control support
Ability to install 3rd party apk's as well as use the Google Play store for apps.
It seems all the Android head units have one thing in common, they are all weird companies I've never heard of from China and the support I get is very limited when I have questions. Even if I go to Alibaba there are like 10 radios that all look the same. It also seems they all do about the same thing and have the same look so knowing what is what is not easy. This is where I am hoping you guys can help.
I have my eye on the company Seicane. They make THIS unit that will fit right in with no dash mods but the downside is a smaller screen. So with that said, I am leaning to a full double din radio but a lot of these are universal and don't say specifically if they work for my make/model car. I attached a pic of my OEM head unit if it helps.

Thanks in advance for any answers you have.

I don't have any experience with the seicane or other android units yet (i'm looking at getting my first one now as well). That seicane unit should just drop right in with no issue which is nice. Other standard double din units should work, but you'll need to use a dash install kit. Be careful though. From what i've been reading it sounds like a lot of these chinese units are a slightly different size than standard double din. larger by a couple mm I think. They still fit, but you may have to modify the dash kit a bit to fit it.

Android seicane h2 and external dac

hey everybody my dad just bought a new seicane
Double din H2 10.0 android
With the DSP add on
It’s in a 2012 Toyota sienna
We had a second there originally and we moved to an Alpine
But he’s giving me the Alpine to throw in another car so he got this new one
Problem is the sub else does not have any sound
Things don’t seem to be working correctly
I’ve seen this as a common issue
But is there any actual fix?
Also is it possible to use an external dac?
I have an audio technica and Berhinger card
Using a separate app to push audio through USB output it works but I want to get android system sound to go through
That way radio Bluetooth and all other sounds are pushed out

Hi, most probably , must change radio chip settings in infotainment hidden /admin menu, there is an option IC type of radio, must change to other chip settings.Try with that first

From what I see there is only a part called extra settings with the password 126
Otherwise I’ve checked everywhere I could

Seems like I’m missing stuff

I’m like really struggling lol

What is in factory settings ? Can you make photo of that menu (if it asks pin code try 8888 or what number it is)
And add photo of the menu RADIO in pic nb. 3 please.

"rk3368_user debug" - this is the designation of software update you might look for.
It is most probably on Russian PDA forum. Find & download right software and update device. It might fix the problem. That is one solution.
I'll study more when you get this pic of that radio menu.
P.S. What version of android is it and is it PX5 or PX6 chip?
Look for answers here also - this is for CAN bus and audio control related to alpine: https://www.wranglerforum.com/threa...-premium-sound-in-january-2020.2391881/page-2

Still struggling
For a 2012 Toyota Sienna

Here ya go

Ask your seller for update of system image. If problem is with software not hardware seller must have tyxxxx factory settings update files.
