I'm so glad I've found this forum. My hope was gone but now I've seen so many experienced users I think there might be a solution!
What's happening:
Needed to turn off battery to instal HU. Car date went back to 2-1-2013 12:00PM. When I change the date in the HU, after the minute changes, it goes back to 2-1-2013 12:01PM (because one minute has passed).
Probably the unit is not being able to send CAN commands to the car? Even tough all steering wheel commands still work with new HU.
With the wrong date I cannot use any applications (Chrome, Waze, Facebook, Spotify, Google Maps). And ClockSync only works in root (my unit isn't rooted, I've already tried using KingRoot but it didn't worked).
The second problem is that I've messed up with the factory settings to get the unit to send sound to speakers, and now when I put the gear in reverse, it just shows the radar in the display, the reverse camera stopped showing (it used to show before setting factory settings to default).
Sorry for so many questions, but I'm a beginner to Android and here in Brazil no one has ever seen these Android HU. (My model is CA380-XLA HD from Caska, and they have a ****ty customer support)
No answer yet.
I discovered a few things: the HU time and date is determined by the cars ECU date (it's a 2012 Hyundai IX35).
When I was installing the HU I had to unplug the car battery and the ECU was reset, going back to 2013. The Hyundai GDS (ECU scan tool) wasn't able to set the car date and time.
The time sync options in Android are "frozen" in "don't sync". So my plans are to use Clocksync after rooting the unit.
I've tried to root the HU with many self-contained APKs with no success.
When trying to root with a computer, there's no "developer menu", so I hit the kernel version three times to enable developer mode and it said it was already in that mode. Still no menu showing up, no "enable usb debug" option, so when I plug the USB cable, no device is detected, making me unable to root that way.
Please, any suggestions? I've paid $500 for installation and $2100 for this HU that just doesn't work.
Intro:
For many years I used to use 1 DIN headunit connected via BT with my android phone. Phone was nicely mounted in bracket hard fixed to the dashboard.
So, I was getting into the car, putting phone into the bracket, starting the car and phone was connecting BT with headunit automatically. Could do phone calls, playing music etc. in 10 secs. Done, finished. No extra configuration, setting up, pressing buttons...
If I needed to use Google Maps, I had to use the phone screen, but it was ok with me, just two clicks.
But... I've upgraded my car and I have to redo my car-audio-phone connectivity
And now..
I'm browsing the market of 2din android based headunits (HU) for a couple years now. They are getting better and better, having more and functions (too many?) etc. Are they not to complicated in daily using? I seen many YT videos where people showing many options of their HUs, but there is completely nothing about daily using.
I'm thinking to purchase one of the latest Joying 2DIN HU and connect it to my android phone via BT, but "The more I know, the more I know I don't know"
That should cover my phone calls and music needs, however I have some doubts I cannot find answers to:
1. Does HU will connect to my phone every time by itself (BT) once paired?
2. How do you Guys, use Google Maps? Screen-mirror (via wifi using phone's "external display" option) or preinstalled in HU Google Maps app?
If phone's mirror, can it be turn on by itself automatically to see my phone app on HU screen without getting into phone's settings?
If preinstalled app, how HU can connects to my Google account? Does it mean I need to buy extra SIM card? Or it can use my phone's data, if so, does it mean I have to go into phone's settings and create a hotspot?
3. DVR, again, does it can be turned on once HU is up by itself, or do I have to turn it on by myself? I hope it has the time loop feature like proper DVR cams do?
4. Parking camera, does it turn the camera on (and screen) once I put R gear on?
Does the latest headunits can be driver friendly or it's still to early and I expect too much?
Thank you for all your answers.:good:
I can speak for Joying (see footer):
1. Yes, it does. It does not show contact names (only numbers) right after start, but they appear after 1st call
2. I can not see any reason using screen mirror (or Android auto) on HU with Android 6+ - PlayMarket apps are almost all yours on HU. My Google account is accessible via WiFi hot spot (USB dongle (auto) or Phone - you have to start hotspot on it), I can pay for apps from HU.
3. Joying DVR does start automatically. It has some issues making additional files until GPS locks, but anyway "ends" still can be put together. One drawback - J.DVR only uses 20Gb on max allowed 32Gb card - too bad.
4. Reversing camera works properly if connected properly, everything is on screen when R gear is on, including dynamic parking lines.

But, still it's chinese, be prepared
Firstly hello i am new to the forum
i have been searching the web about this ever since i purchased my android head unit (about a week ago) as i have issues i cant seem to get my head around.
The unit is branded up as XONRICH (CHINESE UNIT) its running oreo 8.1
i previously had the same unit in my other car with no issues how ever was running 7.1 android - the settings seem alot more accessible on the 7.1
so here are my issues if anyone could shed some light on this
1- The time when i set to automatic it is one hour fast even when set to time zone london
2 - the canbus keep forgetting the head unit and not working to turn on and off with key ,reverse cam loss and steering controls - all works again after reset - i here you can set canbus to 0 or faint to amend ?
3 i cant access factory settings to play with any of the above as it is not even listed in the menu ..
4. i can not seem to change the boot logo to a personalized upload
Hello, I have all those problem too with android 8.1 and also :
5 - cannot find accessibility settings to approved some apps like maps navigation or any app required to accept service (error service google play)
6 - brightness app is always automatic at boot (even if I untick auto)
I'm starting to think it's a bad deal

me too ... i am sorry to hear you are having the same issues ... i do feel if i could access the factory settings i could probably fix most issues
is your unit also xonrich?
i was wondering if it is possible to flash 7.1 software on to the unit as it is so so much better to use
the manual they send does not match the 8.1 software it is for 7.1 as ive had both units maybe if we could lay our hands on an 8.1 based manual this would help ?
Yes it's bad story, my unit has no name :laugh: I posted here this morning :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...units/8227l-android-unit-8-1-chinese-t3905535
It's incredible to not find any combination to reboot into recovery, I tried all I think
The only acces is MCU Update but without any update ... it's difficult
I have instructions.pdf in system, but there is nothing very important
Mine loses qualizer settings if o turn of car or if i change volume
I am sorry to hear your issues . Maybe this brand unit is not ready for Android 8.1. I am owning ATOTO A6 Pro. It works great even though it is Android 6.0.
Mine is same through seicane website
I found a you tube video

I also own an Xonrich unit and the only problem I have is that when the radio tuner is working, the audios of other applications, for example radar announcers, do not sound, but if I turn off the tuner or put another audio source, including internet radio, TuneIn for example, these radar announcements are perfectly heard. The only thing they don't hear is with the radio tuner working.
I could not find the appropriate configuration to achieve it.

Help and additional problems

Hi.
I also have some issues with the time on the unit being one hour fast, but after it's been on for a minute or two and GPS is fixed the time changes to the correct time.
Where did you buy your canbus for the unit? I have a Volvo V70 '04 which I want the steering wheel buttons to work with.
I'm also having trouble with the Bluetooth option missing in the settings list. Its only possible to pair the unit with Bluetooth trough the phone pair function on the unit. I really want to pair my OBD2 adapter to my unit but am unable to do so when there is no Bluetooth menu.
Is there a possible way to add this function to the unit trough a software upgrade or such?
I picked up a Hizpo 3C from Aliexpress for my Honda Accord. Seemed like a nice little package with the custom bezel etc.
I am having a few issues with it, the most annoying being the Bluetooth not working as I had to remove my factory Nav/Tech info screen to put this in and was replacing that with the BT OBD II scanner and running Torque Pro on the head unit.
In short it will connect to my phone via BT just fine, but it either can't find, or finds and won't connect to the OBD II scanner nor my Radar detector. (If anyone can help specifically with this I can go into the details)
The BT issue and the fact that I cannot change anything on the main screen. I tried running Nova Launcher and setting it to default but the head unit just changes it back to the factory crap. This led me to start looking on this forum for rooting / rom options.
So the name given on the sales ad page is Hizpo 3C, but from what I can tell from CPUz is that it is a "Roco K706". I have tried searching here and really anywhere on the internet and didn't find anything about these nor the build numbers. Attached are images from my CPUz that I am hoping you may be able to shed some light on what I am working with and what options I may have to trouble shoot and/or root to change launcher, uninstall the bloat apps etc.
I would also like some help with how I could go about ensuring there is no preinstalled spyware/malware etc. before I start adding more than just google play.
And an explanation on the "faked" android versions I see mine say 11, but has API 29 , and if I double tap the "Android 11" in setting it then brings up a full screen that only displays "Android 10" which I thought was funny.
Check for preinstalled malware
Bluetooth Issues
Change Loader screen
Bump
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same unit with the same issue.
Nope. Nope as you can see no replies here and after months of back and froth with the company they keep trying to have me do the same upgrade after I tell them its done. They say I can get a replacement but I have to send them EVERYTHING back to get another unit. Which now I don't think I want to do because you are moving closer to confirming my fears I would pay for that and get a new or refurb unit that will have the same problem. I am considering trying to return the whole thing for a refund.
Hi there, I think I just ordered the same unit. Did you reach anything regarding that unit?

Not exactly related to the problems mentioned in this topic, but I bought a similar unit from Hizpo and one thing that drives me crazy is an annoying high-pitched noise coming from the speakers that makes my ears bleed. I ruled out all external factors (external interference, grounding issues etc.) and there seems to be no way to fix this. Do your units suffer from this as well or is mine just defective?
First connect to a power source at home.
If all ok then try to connect through a noise filter in auto

random question, I have a roco (k706) android 12 Api 31, I bought it 2 months ago and I was wondering if there are any updates, or who I contact to get them.
Currently I have:
Firmware: QF001.20220920.205721
MCU: QF01.V01.60.20220929.002121
Or it will be that before sending them they load the firmware and the newest MCU.
My problem is that when I connect the wifi it closes Android auto or Carplay and if I connect them again it disconnects me from the wifi.
And in case I need to activate Carletter, to whom do I have to send the QR to activate it again?

atsitiktinis klausimas, turiu roco (k706) android 12 Api 31, nusipirkau pries 2 menesius ir galvojau, ar yra atnaujinimu, ar su kuo susisiekti, kad juos gautu.
Šiuo metu turiu:
Programinė įranga: QF001.20220920.205721
MCU: QF01.V01.60.20220929.002121
Arba bus taip, kad prieš juos išsiųsdami jie įkelia programinę-aparatinę įrangą ir naujausią MCU.
Mano problema yra ta, kad kai prijungiu „WiFi“, jis uždaro „Android auto“ arba „Carplay“, o jei vėl juos prijungiu, mane atjungia nuo „WiFi“.
O jei reikia suaktyvinti Carletter, kam turiu siųsti QR, kad vėl suaktyvinčiau?

I bought this second-hand stereo from a car that was being sold for parts, do you think it would be possible that if I do the update and my carletter is deactivated, could you help me by sending my QR to activate it? I have to have the car connected to the internet while they do it I guess.

Hi, could you send me that firmware?
And does anyone know the password fpr the factory reset?? Its not the usual 0000,8888,123456 nor my google password.
Another problem: how can i connect the head unit to my PC to use ADB? The head unit has 2 USB-A connectors. I tried an USB-A to USB-A Cable without success. Also i can´t see the usb connection dialouge on the head unit because the status bar doesn´t show any notifications...
What i wanted to do with ADB: i want to use Nova Launcher on my head unit but it can´t access the OEM "apps" like FM radio or DSP. Tasker says it nees "permission.manage_activity_stacks" to start those apps. So i will try to give nova launcher this permission over ADB. Or does anyone have another suggestion to solve this problem?
Best regards

Connect ADB via Wifi, but must first enable developer option
