Front Camera (RCA) app needed for Topway TS9 android head unit - Android Head-Units

Hi, all. New to the forum.
I have a KUNFINE head-unit which appears to be based on the Topway TS9. It has multiple RCA video inputs, one of which is labeled front camera, but I do not appear to have an app installed that can make use of it.
Ideally, I'd like to install an AHD cam in the front and use that with a DVR software. Searches only turn up USB cam apps, but the vendor advised me that it is possible to use the F-Cam input for that. I just don't know where to get the right app.

I have a KUNFINE head-unit, I think it's a Topway too. I just looked though my settings and do not see that option. I had planned on adding a front camera but had not looked for it yet, since I have been dealing with other issues. What system version does your head-unit have?

Front camera on Joying JY-UL135 - Android 5.1.1

Hello guys,
I have a huge deal trying to implement the front camera on Joying JY-UL135.
I have allready the rear RCA camera installed, and it works great with the reverse gear.
I've connected the front camera on the AV-IN, and it works when I use SRC button on AV-IN, but I want it to work as a front camera, so I've activated it in "Factory Settings Menu", but it shows me a yellow ! sign, and no way to make it work.
I've asked Joying, but no good answer. :crying:
Is it possible to make it work somehow? Maybe by flashing with a compatible MCU? which will handle it as Front Camera and not AV-IN?
Thank you,
Cheers,
Front Cam
Did you power the front camera beside's using the RCA.
Damit17, not yet.. this is what i was thinking about... but from 4pda forum, it seems that F-CAM RCA and AV-IN are differnt.
Is it same input? did you tried it?

Thanks marchnz.
My problem is, Joying does not support officially front cam. The unit has only AV-IN.
Would this be because Joying expect the front camera to be a USB camera/DVR as listed in the wiring diagram? The AV input wasnt intended for front camera operation; this is for DVD players, DVB-T TV tuners etc.
Unless there is a way to assign the AV input via [Factory Settings Menu]?

Hi, maybe something like this may help - Car Parking Camera Video 2 Channel Converter Auto Switch Front /Side/Rearview Rear View Camera Video Control Box with Manual
I have no experience with this unit but tempted to look into a solution like this.
did you ever get this to work?
F-CAM app does not work for me either for rear cam... It shows yellow ! sign... I have a Seicane PX3 android head unit.

My mtcd unit has a front camera RCA input and an F-CAM power connector. F-CAM app and front camera work out of box with this unit.
If you don't have these connectors and are interested in getting F-CAM to work, follow this thread:

Newer Joying head unit

Does anyone have this newer Joying 8.8" widescreen single DIN head unit with the new UI, JY-HOS01N4GS-2 ?
I just got it in and am trying to set it up before I install it in the car. Can it be modded or customized? While this new UI isn't that bad looking, it's a little more modern, but it does have this damn clock on the right side taking up real estate on the screen and I can't get rid of it. I tried using another launcher but the clock still stays there. I also can't get it to connect to my BT keyboard even though it sees it. Nor can I get it to see a universal USB cam which I want to use for a rear view mirror display. I did get it to recognize the universal non-Joying internal sensor TPMS unit I got as well as XTRON front DVR cam (I had to use the program on the XTRON cam to see it though) and an XTRON backup cam.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction for modding this unit?
Anyone? I did find an app that can see the universal cams now but still need help with the other stuff. Plus I want to change the boot logo to an animated one I made.

I don't have such a unit, so I would not know about your Launcher, but it has been mentioned before in the forum. Please search a bit more.
You can only connect phones and approved devices to your device on BT. See this post and further for a possible modification.
Most universal usb webcams are not supported.

Why the hell do they do that? If I had known that before hand I would've probably went with another unit like an ATOTO or a Dasaita. I went with this one because the widescreen 8.8 IPS display fits my car perfectly plus it has a 4g module built in. (grumble)

Dasaita is microntek. All those units have crippled bluetooth as well. It is something the Chinese do to promote selling their own stuff, I guess.
No idea about Atoto though.
Does your keyboard have a usb-dongle? As far as I understood, keyboards with a usb-dongle do work. All BT equipment relying on the host bluetooth are hit-and-miss, and almost always miss.
No. It uses whatever's is built in to what you want to connect to I guess. I do have a Bluetooth CSR 4.0 dongle and tried using that on it but I can't see where it recognizes it.
The HU sees the keyboard it just won't connect to it. I damn well better not have any problems connecting to my OBDLink MX when I put it in the car. ?
Ok I tried what they said to do in that post but it didn't work. Not sure I did it right. It appears all I had to do was copy those two files in that bluetoothsetting.zip to a clean SD card put it on the HU and reboot it.
If that's what I was supposed to do then no luck. I have read that the firmware on these widescreen units are slightly different than the other Intel Airmont units.

This Head Unit not a Topway platform, so password be not 7890, It's look like FYT platform, maybe take some system info can easier to judge

I thought something like that as I saw your desktop with the buttons on top.
We are talking about a Klyde derivative, with some different things inside.
Now it´s clear, this is a RL9Ac, so my expectation was correct.
There are only 2 PINS available in this unit:
7890 is the first one to enter the system information
8861 for deeper settings menue
There is nothing else.
possible that it is so lacking in options? when the px6 is also too full of options to set

This unit is so different from the ones you seem to use...
All options are available with these 2 Pins. There is no need for any other settings page.
Edit:
The RL9Ac are the pendants to the rotatable screen used in Klyde KD-1280, which are delivered with the RL7Ac MCU. The main setup menu is the complete same in both.
There are already some threads in this forum. Just some guys don´t understand this unit and the features with it.
It´s completely different from all other currently available unit.
this radio has two RCA connectors with written VIDEO IN and S. CAM IN in yellow color ..... I wanted to connect a front camera with RCA connector .... but then how do I select it on the screen?

Well... If you want that the front cam act like a dash cam... no, that doesn´t work.
If you want to have the front cam acting as a parking cam, you can activate that in the settings and it would be activated for some sec. after you leave the reverse gear.
no for the dash cam I have already ordered a dash cam to be connected to usb .... I also bought a simple camera to be inserted in the front grill but it is rca .... I do not have the icon on the screen to activate it .... that's the problem
the radio being specific for the captiva is all plug & play .... but there are some scattered wires that the Chinese say should not be connected .... I am attaching photos .... I had number 5 translated and it is "camera power" but I don't know if it refers to a possible front camera to be powered .... the camera behind the machine works without problems and without using any rca connector.
For front camera i have buy this.... I not want that use like dvr or dash camera..... Only parking camera
My car have front and rear parking sensor

Problem recording front and back camera

In my car I installed a chinese android head unit, with front and rear camera (no dash cam). The cameras both work well, the front one is always active (frontview), the rear one is activated with reverse gear and then for 5 seconds it is viewed frontally. The head unit does not have a dvr included even if it is checked in the options and I can't find an android application that records the video signal of both cameras, but to date no application works!!!
Please help me!!!
Thank you.
Was the head unit sold as being able to record both cameras while driving?
There are dashcam apps on the playstore.
I bought a combined pair of front and rear cameras designed to work with a head unit but it appears they can only record video onto the SD card in the camera itself. The head unit helps to align the cams for best viewing and to see what is happening in real time. My cameras will work without a head unit to record every time they are powered on.
As a thought maybe you could use 2 different dashcam apps and have 1 record the front cam and the other record the back cam.
I suspect those cameras were only intended to be used as navigation aids not as dashcams. You can probably download an app to use one camera as a dashcam but maybe not record from both. The best solution is to buy a dedicated dashcam with good reviews. https://dashcamtalk.com/best-dash-cams-of-2023/ You can ask more specific questions to learn more about the best dashcams for you on https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/
If the cameras came with the head unit ask the seller for the app to allow them to record onto the head unit. If the cameras were bought from a different seller ask that seller to get you the app to make them work with the head unit. If there is no app available for that purpose then probably you need to get a dashcam instead.
I found a potential app xcdvr2. It is not found on google play store although xcdrv1 is there.
I did find xcdvr2 online as an APK.
Download XCDVR2 2.12.0-gsj for Android | Uptodown.com
Download the latest XCDVR2 update for Android. The new XCDVR2 2.12.0-gsj version is now available for free
xcdvr2.en.uptodown.com
Make sure you virus check the APK before using it.
This may or may not be a newer version of that app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.williexing.android.apps.xcdvr1
Here is the video I found that demonstrates that app.

Questions Joyx autoradio Android 12 cameras 360

Hello,
I got this unit from Amazon:
JOYX - [6G+128G] - Android 12 IPS Car Radio Suitable for Ford Tourneo Transit Custom (2013-2021) - Wireless CarPlay / Android Car / DSP - LED Camera & MIC - 9 Inch 2 Din - DAB SWC WiFi Fast-B oot 360-Camera​And this accessory:
4-part AHD cameras must be purchased separately, ASIN:B095HQSV15
1) When I connect 1 of the 360 camera, the front one, it shows as if it's two video feed in one. Let's say it's not showing 1 image properly, but lines and what seems to be noise.
What am I supposed to see when connecting 1 camera only, a proper video feed for the front camera?
2) It says AHD camera, on the autoradio there are various "camera settings" about which format is it (NTSC, PAL, and 2 different AHD with different resolutions). I tried we get an ugly signal from all but one AHD (signal not found for the latest). I am supposed to change or it should connect straight of the box?
3) We tried to have the rear camera provided from the head unit box (not the 360 ones), we also did not get signal despite a cabling that works (let's say the power was tested in each cables and it should have been done properly). The camera works on another vehicle. When engaging the rear on the gearbox, we do see the lines but no video signal.
Any idea?
Thanks for any help,

The vendor sent me a video showing one need to click on settings/video/ and change a setting to AVM.
The vendor activated using the QR Code. I had to sync the options, it's now activated.
Problem is, the application for 360 crashes every few seconds.
Setting required to get the video feed:
It's activated.
