All,
I have two of these in my commuter cars. (2007 Saturn Ion/2001 Impala)

I commute around 100 miles a day.
I have been pretty happy with these Binize especially for the price point. I have a rear camera on both.
I use it daily for GPS, radio, my playlist (on thumbdrive), and Podcasts (Stitcher). I expect them to be a low end GPS tablet with an amp and they do that. I also have a ELM327 and the Torque app installed on the head unit.
It took some trial and error to get everything setup software wise and I was meticulous on the wiring (soldered connections/heat wrap/full install kits etc.).
They have been installed for over a year now.
Anyways I have decent size fingers and the side of the screen volume can be tricky especially in the Saturn. So I picked up one of these;

The Remote Control unit pairs fine with my Samsung Note S10+ cell phone. It adjust my cell phones volume well and does what it should . The head unit under the Bluetooth icon under AGAMA sees the X09 Bluetooth device but does not Pair as my ELM327 does. I have deleted the ELM327 out of the Paired Devices to see if that is the issue but to no avail.
Is there any application I could download to see what is going on. Is this a issue with Android Head Units?
Are there better Remote Control Units out there to consider?
Also while we are discussing Android Head Units. What Applications or hardware do you have on yours that you find interesting?
Thanks
Chris
Included is what I am seeing...
I have same approach to those head units - low end tablet with BT, gps, mp3, video and reverse cam cappabilities.
But according to your problem with BT connection. Im not sure if bluetooth in those radios is fully functional as in other devices (for transmit files, tethering internet etc) or its just like head set - limited capability only to hands-free talk via cellphone.
But if you use it with ELM (or other CAN decoder), than it should work with SWC also...
Maybe try without Agama launher? Use stock software for test
I think that there are better options for steering wheel control. At the back of your radio there should be two additional wires, marked as KEY 1 & 2. They are designed to be used with resistance-based controls.
Do a refund with that you already have (with BT) and buy this:

or
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-...rand=Unbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
But before that make sure that you have key1 & key2 (or SWC 1 & 2,)
It also uses BT communication, but not this one in head unit. It has own BT module which you solder to harness and sends resistive signals via key 1&2 wires.
Personally I dont use wireless steering wheel control, but instead i bought controller like this

cheap, reliable, easy to install and doesnt require batteries to run.
If you need more buttons you can install the second on other side

This unit is the same as pumpkin RQ0255 unit. There is more information available from their support page and is directly applicable to the Naviskauto unit you have.
I installed this unit with a Metra dash kit into a 2003 G35 Sedan with Steering wheel controls (kit required) / the stock Bose amplifier (audio interface kit required) / and reverse Cam. All the functions you want are available. I assume you want to connect iphone/ipad via bluetooth , it works but the bluetooth interface for music isn't great , and maybe a 3rd party app is available. There is an "IPOD" USB connection through a 30pin connector. (Overall, music quality is very good but not as good has name brand head units for USB/Bluetooth/Radio. ) I use an Iphone 4 as an Ipod over USB, but you should be able to use a lightning convertor cable and use newer iphones/ipods. The music interface is better on USB but still falls short if you're looking for iphone/ipad useability. You can connect the head unit to a wireless hotspot on iphone/ipad or any device with this function. You can also connect via USB to a 3G dongle but the supported devices are limited, (more reading for you.)
GPS works great and the iGo Navi app provided is really good and does not require an online connection. You may need to do some more reading to get maps / poi functioning to your needs depending on your location.
It's my first android head unit install and it was flawless for me. I invested lots of time reading to extract experience from this board and others I am generally familiar with car sound systems, electronics, soldering so I was just a matter of understanding the wiring interfaces for this unit, which are standard.
I'm a newbie on Android , so I'm not experimenting with ROMs yet but there is a ton of info on what is possible with mods and replacement apps for various functions.
so, bottom line, I give the unit a 8/10 overall, but the value for money from Amazon I give it 9/10.

Thank you for your information.You're more experienced than me as I can tell. According to the review,it seems a good choice.I will look at more and make a "experienced" choice,I think.thanks again,man.:good:
Hey guys, I've been doing some reading around, and can't find a few answers. I have a 2013 F350, and wanna do a new head unit. My 2 main functions are running Spotify, with the ability to use my phone to control the songs, and integrate the steering wheel controls. I haven't found any head units that after specifically for my truck, so I will probably have to get a universal one. I like the ownice C500, but the steering wheel controls integration is a must for me. I had a nexus 7 in my previous truck, and liked it a lot, just want something that's more OEM looking and more reliable in the Las Vegas heat.

I just put a C500 in my 2007 Nissan Titan and connected up the steering wheel controls. They aren't automatic - you'll have to hunt down the 2 control wires and connect them up, then program the buttons using an app on the head unit. I'm pretty sure that's the case with ANY aftermarket unit. FWIW I added a SIM card from AT&T so I've got 3G (it says 4G, but it's only connecting at 3G on AT&T) so I can stream music and use Nav. Also you won't be able to control Spotify from your phone, rather, you'll do it from the Spotify app on the head unit.
From all I have read, it sounds like the top units are the Joying Intel Sofia, the PX5-based units like Dasiata, and the Ownice C500 Octacore.
I am still having trouble understanding which unit would be best for my application as a data recorder for a track car. Specifically, I would like to be able to connect both a Bluetooth OBD2 reader and an external high-refresh-rate GPS receiver (like the QStarz or Dual units) for use with a program like Track Addict. In other words, I'm probably looking for the most fully featured Bluetooth available, ideally without too terribly much fiddling.
Along these lines, do these units recognize external USB dash mount cameras like the internal camera of a cell phone for track video?
Thanks for the help.
Bob
I have a Joying unit but while it connects to torque pro using an ODBLINK MX, it refuses to connect to my SkyPro XGPS160 GPS Receiver. Also, as far as I know no headunit has motion sensors to record acceleration, lateral G's, etc. For the track I'm using an old Nexus 7 2013. Works great with all track apps and OBD and external 10HZ GPS plus has all the sensors you could want.

Hi All,
My brother just purchased an all-in-1 9" Android head unit + facia for his 2005 Mazda 6 (GG). Listing can be seen here:

He has installed the unit and everything works fine while the car's ignition is only turned to accessories. However, as soon as he turns the car key 1 click further to power up the ignition (but the not has not yet started), the steering wheel controls go nuts. That is, once the key is turned to ignition, it's like one of the steering control buttons is constantly being pressed and the head unit either continually skips through songs or it continually skips through tuning radio stations, depending on whether the unit is set to playback songs or to the radio. Curiously, this problem doesn't occur when only the accessories are powered on (ignition not yet powered on).
The details of his unit are shown in the attached image. He currently has the steering wheel controls disconnected due to the issue, which I'm guessing is why the unit shows "Ruishengwei-Mazda6--disconnect".
I did some searching but didn't find anyone else reporting this issue. Anybody have any insights as to what might be the issue? If so that would be greatly appreciated.

My brother has sent a message to the seller querying about the steering wheel control issue, but no response yet, unfortunately.
Okay, good news. My brother managed to sort the issue. For anybody who has the same problem, here are the details of the fix that worked for him:
Coming from the 9" Android headunit there's a wire called 'Key 1'. This Key 1 wire needed to be connected to the red/blk wire of the Mazda's headunit wiring harness.
I should also mention that his Mazda 6 GG has the non-Bose stereo, however, as seen in the attached image, the non-Bose and Bose headunits both have the same red/blk wire.
