Hey all, last weekend i had a Joying VM130N2 had unit installed in my 2006 Mk5, and since I have had constant battery issues. I have done plenty of searching, but I am yet to find anything.. I thought it was alternator, seems not, then settings in the head unit which isn't looking like the solution..
I am not the best with card and am at my wits end! Any help would be really, really appreciated
Thanks
Mike.
Wired it wrong?
How do you know its the radio? Have you actually tested it?
Wired by an auto electrician and then rechecked it after the battery drain was first detected.
Some people have suggested that it could be the canbus controller? :S
I never managed to solve the Joying battery drain in my Mk5 Golf. Swapping wires was no help, so CANBUS controller was certainly a possibility.
What did you do in the end man?

I gave up tbh. I loved using PowerAmp, Google Maps, a cheap (compared to VW OEM) rear view camera, but the awful FM signal, constant battery drain and another annoying bugs made me switch back to a VW OEM stereo.
Mine was an older Android 4.4.4 unit, so may consider giving an Android 6 unit a try in the future if they can sort out these issues.

Well they seem sure that it shouldn't cause a flat battery :S
It was 100% the unit causing it in mine. As soon as I swapped back to OEM VW head unit, no flat batteries.
With the Joying, I would lose 0.5v approx overnight
You need to swap can-gateway in VW MK5 Years like 2004-2008. You can buy from me. About 70 Euro.
OK, so I have replaced the battery, and it seems that it may be draining slowly again.. I tried running without canbus, with the accessories cable connected, however it doesn't turn off when I take the key out. What do i do? Is it possible to bypass canbus?

hmm ... that link does not work anymore. Do you know whether this information is still relevant in the case of VW and the March 1 update?

March 1 update? That's old.
It is not relevant to the firmware version. It has to do with the CANbus and the 2 ways VAG connects its cars.
See here the pdf.

VW Passat B6 aftermarket radio drain issue Solved.
Hey I had a similar issue. I have a 2006 Passat 2.0T , I had the base stereo=premium 7 . I purchased a aftermarket Podofo 9" Android radio for my Passat.
It came with a canbus box, I installed it plug and play . Had horrible battery drain. I could not figure out wth was going on. Then I ran into this video from Dan Sohan on YouTube . I can't post links here because I'm a new user and it's disabled till the 10th post not sure why. But anyways I can give links to solve this issue 1000% and stop the battery drain.
Basically you cut the factory can hi and can low from the harness and run the can hi and can low from climate unit that's basically piggy backed on the climate control canbus wires. For me it's solved everything. I can leave the car for 3-4 days no issues... battery doesn't have the so called parasitic drain anymore and I believe it is the root cause to many aftermarket stereo installs on these newers VW's that did not use the K Line wire system and instead a CAN Hi + and CAN Low - ........hopefully these links help you guys like they did me I went through alot of headaches with the unit but overall it's a great unit , backup camera with sensors works flawlessly, GPS is great only downfall is Sound quality is not great but overall a good unit and not many people will notice the sound quality difference with something like this vs their stock unit. All the credit for this fix goes to Dan Sohan and his YouTube video .

Hi
I have the drain battery problem on my 2014 qashqai. The life of battery is one year.
You have bypass the canbus?
Could I have the video?
Thanks
Hi all,
I am also suffering from battery drain on my RK1388 MTCD_MX. It was confirmed by my garage who measured 500mA from the radio while the ignition is shut off.
It seems the problem started after I recently did an MCU update from MTCD_MX 2.56 to MTCE_MX 3.73. I checked the "Shutdown delay when ACC OFF" setting after the update and tried several settings, without result.
The strange thing is that regardless of the "Shutdown delay when ACC OFF" setting, if I quickly turn the ignition off and on, the unit will always do a cold boot. So this is strange in two ways:
1. Why doesn't it behave according to the setting
2. Why does my battery drain if it indeed the unit is being shutdown and not sleeping when I turn the ignition off.
The wiring seems all ok (it is plug & play adapter), I measured everything: Red = ACC, Yellow +, Black ground). The only thing I noticed is that the ACC still has 0,14 V when the ignition is shut off. Could this be the source of battery drain?
Today I removed the unit and started measuring currents.
The smoking gun for me was the MCU update. However, I did not want to fully revert to MCU_MX 2.56 because under that version I had problems with the unit remembering radio presets for which I opened another thread.
After I set everything up such that I could measure red and yellow wire I found out that indeed the unit does not fully shut down when I take the carkey out of the ignition, despite the unit reporting 'shutting down'. After the shutdown delay (in my case 30s) the current was still around 400mA.
After downgrading from MTCE_MX_v3.73 to MTCD_MX_v2.56 the issue was gone. After removing the carkey and waiting for 30 seconds, the current indeed dropped to 0 mA. So this MCU version would not drain my battery.
I now upgraded to the before last MCU version MTCE_MX_v3.30, and with that version the issue did NOT return. So my conclusion is that for some reason complete shutdown does not happen under MTCE_MX_v3.73, hence this version is not okay!
It does make sense that radio presents were never gone after I updated to MTCE_MX_v3.73 as the unit would never fully shut down. Only after the battery drained I lost my channels again. Let's hope that the radio channel presets are preserved under the MCU version I am now running (no clue if it has anything to do with it). That issue is super annoying!

I hope you reported this issue and your analysis to Joying. It is really important info. [email protected]
Hi everyone,
Due to the lack of (and dispersed) information about these particular head units, here's a thread where we can discuss and help each other out to make the most of these units. Please note this thread is not for Sofia or MCDB/C/D/E units, there are ample threads about those. I am not a full-time software developer, so please do correct me if you think I'm wrong about something. Please do think twice before experimenting on your unit, no one else is responsible for it but yourself. I'm also dying for a custom ROM, if there's any dev making one for these, please know I'm availing my unit for experimentation. It is a powerful Unit which unfortunately is plagued by software problems which is why I believe a dev can make a better job than the manufacturer.
Also, special thanks to @surfer63 for his Joying Extra Tools (JET apk) which has been a critical tool for rooting, among other things.
I will be taking the unit out of the car and opening it up to install a heat sink and take some pictures of the insides, let me know if anyone's interested in close-ups of anything on the board.
{Reserved for Hardware}
The unit was advertised as compatible with BMW X5 and E39 (5series 1996-2001). My car is a 1997 520i with the low-end dashboard so that's the context I'll be speaking in. The unit shipped complete with adapter cables which connect to the original connectors for the radio, magnetic GPS antenna, external mic (more on the internal mic later), 2 USB ports which are permanently attached to the unit (as well as an sd card slot), a couple of flimsy brackets which screw in place of the original radio holder. However 2 screws which attach the unit to the brackets were not provided and i had to rummage around until i found 2 screws that fit. Unfortunately the original radio antenna cable on the car doesn't fit the unit, however the bundle of cables has an antenna plug with it, it's just a matter of replacing it (someday, as I don't really use radio at all).
The Unit is reporting to have an ARM64-v8a architecture and an rk30sdk board, 4GB RAM as well as 32GB of internal storage. External storage is detected almost immediately as well and I had no problems with files stored on a pendrive. The CPU tends to run hot, occasionally going beyond 80degrees Celcius, I therefore have a small fan and heatsink ordered which I will try to squeeze into the single-DIN box. Worth mentioning it has buttons and a knob on either side of the screen which are backlit and positively responsive. Regarding the in-built microphone, it "works" in theory, ie. it hears you if you tap on it, but it doesn't hear my voice even with the engine idling, let alone cruising down the autobahn. Fortunately it comes with an external mic, I'll hook it up when I pull it out for the fan job.
{Reserved for Software}
This is the latest ROM & MCU update from the manufacturer:
Android Version: 8.0.0
Build number: px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.bsp.20181107.190240 test-keys
System info: APP 1024x600 2018-11-23 08:48:14
MCU Version: 2018-11-23 16:12:28 JY_(R68*)__26_C26_CAN(All)
BT Version: BLINK_8723DS_RELEASE/2018:10:08:17:05:26
DigitalAmp Version: Unknown
CAN Version: Unknown
Serial Number: 00000000
I'm not going to give the Wifi Mac address for obvious reasons.
Cold boots are pretty quick, it's usually done in half a minute. It has a rudimentary "recovery" mode which is achieved by pressing the reset button with a needle 3 times, and after a pause, a countdown is shown under the boot logo, at which point one has to insert the SD card into the right hand slot. If it identifies the ROM on the SD card as equivalent or better, it starts flashing. If it doesn't recognise it, it does apparently nothing and leaves you with a black screen until you remove the SD card and boot it up again.
I have on several occasions attempted to flash TWRP recovery image as well on the unit, with no success.
Description of operation & issues:
Ever since the latest ROM Update, I've been having issues with the WiFi: despite the dozen wifi hotspots around the neighbourhood including my phone and home wifi, the unit doesn't "see" any until I completely reboot it.
The ROM provided by the manufacturer doesn't have a proper bluetooth menu. Despite being equipped with Bluetooth 4.0, as it stands for now, there is no proper bluetooth menu like you get on your phone/tablet/etc... a bluetooth app shortcut does open this menu but the menu doesn't offer any options or work at all except for the on/off toggle.
The CPU runs hot, it is a well known issue and I'm intending to install a heat sink and fan on it.
Several other settings menu items usually found on phones are also missing.
There buttons of course are lit up but the colour options are just 7. There is no way to choose your own colour and I don't know of any app that can do it on this particular model.
So I've opened up the unit and took some pictures before i stuck on a few small heatsinks on the FYT6026 bigger metal heatsink as well as a small fan. I've not taken pictures of what I've done, but you can all suppose how it's set up. It's pretty easy. I've got more closeups of the board for whoever wants to see them, just ask.
Hey @surfer63 or @gtxaspec @xxRaiyanxxYT do you know what the connector circled in red (4 pins) is for? It was not connected to anything in my unit. The other 2 are USB (5 pins) and the one on top (2pins) is microphone.
Sorry didnt upload for some reason.

Connect those Plugs Red, Green and Blue
Wondering that myself... Could it be power for a fan?
I have the same unused plug in mine.
Any info would be appreciated

What? No you didn't understand. I disconnected the plugs before i took the picture to get a clearer view of the board. The 2 plugs in the Blue circle are both for USB cables that go out from behind the unit, and the green one is for the external microphone which I also use. The one I don't know about is the one in the red circle. it was not connected to anything when I opened the unit and I'd like to know what it might be useful for.

I was thinking the same thing, I was going to hook the fan up to them but I needed to measure the voltages across those pins and my car is downstairs in the basement and I don't have a proper kit to power the it up on the bench. I would've made one but I was in a hurry yesterday. I need a whole day to mess around with it properly and find out what each part does but right now I'm working through the weekends until the end of the year. Until I get some time like that, I'm trying to gather some more info about it so I won't take it out for nothing (it's a ***** to install this unit back in the car).

Good stuff, that'd be great, thanks! Which unit have you got? (specs) And have you managed to change the bootloader or flash a custom rom on it? Feel free to share pics of the motherboard.

I have the JY-HOS01P4
8.8" 4GB/32GB
No Hardware button at all. Not reset hole.. nada (Will make it easier to weatherproof.. )
Will at some point put a heatsink on it.. But being single DIN the room is limited...
So far I have only have it rooted and JET installed on it.
I do not think I will mess with the bootloader/custom ROM as it does pretty much what I want out of the box.
Testing different software now.
And the unit will be installed in my HD Roadglide.
So basically the sound output will be 2 fold:
Speakers driven by an external AMP so I can shut of sound by turn the amp off thru the settings
Bluetooth comms headset connected to a bluetooth transmitter taking it's input from RCA jacks
My requirements are the following:
Launcher: CarWebGuru
Radio -> will use stock app
MP3 -> Still testing players but for now I'm happy with google play music
GPS -> Osmand+ with data on SD card
Phone-> Android Auto + Headunit Reloaded (will finish testing and probably will buy.. Do not link ZLink.. even thought it works sort of ok) At this point I'm able to dial/see the phone on the radio and hear/talk with my BT headset
That is pretty much it.. Might attempt to put a DVR at some point...
I'll take a pic tonight of the board but aside from the location of that big capacitor (Mine is beside the wall of the radio) it is pretty much the same as yours.

Ah I see, so what they're doing is basically hooking up a different screen to the same single-din box. Have you had any issues with the wifi since the last update?

I have not seen any issues.. Mind you I only have an internal network.. Still waiting for internet to be installed ^%@%#
I had to hotspot my phone for connectivity when needed but it is chewing my data!!!
I did all my downloads from work and brought the files/apk home to install.
What kind of issues are you seeing?
Which version of the latest do you have? the first 2018-11-7 or the 2nd 2018-11?
(I hate how the have they same file name.. Joying is pretty bad naming stuff...)
Hi,
I tested the header last night and got nothing. 0 power
Now, I have not had the time to play with the settings in the radio so I do not know if something would turn that on.
Cheers,
haven't tested it myself, but from my memory this red-circled connector has something to do with audio (either Ins or Outs).
Here is the picture of the inside of the single DIN unit

I didn't realise they published the 2018-11. I downloaded the previous update, 2018-11-7. I think they published the second one after the first november update gave us issues and somehow forgot to put the full date on it. I'll try flashing that update at some point and see what happens.
Hi guys,
I also bought a YT5760B/AC8259 unit (vertical) which came preloaded with XYAuto v.1.66, so there seem to be no need to upgrade, but I'm facing some issues that I would love to be able to solve somehow, so if someone have a hint/an advice about one of them please feel free to say
Issues:
a) Unit does not seem to turn off, even after 2 days, and it seems to drains my battery. It starts then right away when I turn the car and there is no boot time, but on motor stop, only the LCD screen seems to turn off
b) The unit is equipped with a LTE SIM card, which disconnects and reconnects every now and then irregularly. Vendor sent yet a new SIM card cable, will see...
c) A Phone conversation on the LTE SIM Card (not via bluetooth) does not go to Car Speakers, but instead stays on the head unit internal speaker...
d) I can't seem to customize the shortcut bar above the screen (marked with the red arrow on the picture), and that has nothing to do with the launcher which I changed
e) Has someone managed to root this unit ?
f) Does some have this unit installed in a Jeep Grand Cherokee? I can't seem to enable FCW (Front Collision Warning)
Thanks a lot in advance,
Nick
by the way if you disassemble the head unit you will be able to find 2nd sim slot in the head unit logic board and this sim support to work much better
haven't tested it yet but i guess it can solve your issue
Meanwhile, I received a new SIM holder cable and there is no more SIM disconnections

Mine also a AC8259 with a diferrent skin I guess. Hate the launcher and homescreen. Cant change Icons.
Any know how change the interface? Launcher ?
Do you have a dump of your firmware?
if not, make a dump using the program Flashtool
And send me a link to the firmware I'll try to fix the bugs

how did you managed to get the speed working? mine doesn't move
Following this thread closely as I have the same unit, don't like my launcher with the fixed icons that we can't replace at all.
Have this same head unit. Does anyone know if there is a way to:
A) disable the top and bottom nav bar banners?
B) access an adb shell to disable some bloat apps
C) if there is custom roms out there to replace the stock xyauto software
Thanks in advance for any help, the sopport team for this head unit sucks.
Hello and sorry for this but I am trying to get help about my new radio and it's not been easy
I bought a Android Unit and Can bus for my Peugeot.
Everything works, even BT GPS INTERNET and steering wheel commands... no Power Flash..
Soon as I start driving 10mph + , I have some Power flash .. power goes out for half a second...
Can happen 1 time in 1 minute or 10.
Not related with holes, bumps or G Force...
First I thought it was some cable related issue, but with car idle if I shake a lot the radio and wires, dont fail... only driving.
Can someone help me ... Car shops dont want to touch it... and seller isn't much of a receptive to the problem
I already tryied with 2 diferent Cables and Canbus ( both Raise PSA15 )
Cant find any help anywhere
I think maybe is a unit defect
Hello there.
I would like to get some help regarding eonon GA9449-UA0153 head unit for bmw e39..
My friend went in settings and changed user version, then the unit restarted and never came back on again.
I fixed some of these android units before that had the YD1821B power management ic blown but never found this issue.
I suppose the firmware should be written again. The unit draws only 25 mah and doesnt boot. Tried using the reset button in combination with power button in 100 ways.. No luck.
Can any of you help me with firmware file(s) and give me a little guide on how to upload it ? The unit has a USB port on the back, close to the FM antena.
I'm willing to even pay someone that can help me revive it.
Thank you!
In this link you can see pictures of it cause I can't upload them here.. they are too big.

Hi, I ran into the same issue installing the same GA9449-TE0180 (I don’t think the second part matters as much) for my E39. Tried everything, checked fuses, checked voltage and it reads 12 volts coming from the connectors. I’ve tried everything you’ve done except take it apart. Have you found a solution?

Nope, not yet. Seems like nobody knows any fix yet.
Hey I found the issue with mine. Turns out it was a bad CAN bus decoder. I unplugged it and shorted the yellow and red wires together and the unit powered on immediately and everything seems to work. This might be your issue as well. I’m going to order a new can bus decoder and put everything back together.

I'm glad to hear that. It's not the case on mine. I powered it right through de output of the can bus wires. +12v on red and yellow and still nothing.
Well new issue, after fiddling with the device and getting stuff set up, it shut off on me and I found that there isn’t any voltage going to the radio harness. I checked fuses and they’re all good so I can’t imagine why
anyone?...
