General "Where to start" questions - Android Head-Units

Hey all,
I just installed a "tesla style" radio. As advertised, it's a 9.7'' Android 10.1 tablet. Here is a pic of some of the details
Android: YT9216BJ_00012_V001
Android os: Android 10.1
XY AUTO: J6.5 (X2)
CAN Pro: Hiworld WeiChi-Foucs-V2.21.0-connect
DDR: 1G FLASH: 16G
cpu: A7 1.3GHz x 4
display: 1024*7686 bits)
MCU: 3.7 (X2)
There are many things I can't stand with this launcher and I wanted to see if it's possible to change them and how difficult it might be. I did some android development a while ago, but I was only making apps, not launchers (or whatever this is called).
I tried downloading a launcher and when I opened the launcher, the annoying issues still remained. One of the worst parts is that there is a bar on the top (like a quick-access app bar) and a bar on the bottom for climate control. Since my climate control is manual, the lower bar is mostly useless, takes up space and is just plain ugly. It does have the back, home and volume control as well, though I'd like to redesign this. The top bar, I'd like to be able to switch apps on the quick access list, but nothing is movable or anything like a regular android device and I would only use a single one.
There are other issues that I'd like to change or even upgrade, maybe even try to add the sync functionality back in there...
Anyways, I read some of the launcher threads here, but after trying a 3rd party launcher, it feels like the things I need to change are deeper than a home app. Is this possible to change? If so, how do I even get this image on to a computer to start editing?
Thanks!

I have similar unit on my 2015 corolla

I tried this launcher (https://www.mediafire.com/file/9gxd5wy57c9wsh4/Launcher.apk/file) and i'm happy with it... One of the the themes can show your speed in MPH if you need that also. However.. the car lost the AutoLock door feature, and the Chirp/Beep when locking on/off the doors.. Any idea what could be the reason?

I bought this radio on Black Friday of 2017 and ever since then it seems like it has just been one headache after another. I've done Desktop Support, been a NOC engineer, and currently pursuing my OSCP so I'm not computer illiterate; yet this makes me feel like I am. One of the things that interested me was the 10-band stock EQ. Then that was removed. Fine, I'll go to V4A. Nope. That doesn't work anymore. I knew beforehand that some of the buttons on the face wouldn't do what they stated they'd do but the option to reprogam them in the Joying settings only works on touchscreen buttons, not physical ones. The radio is fine. Just fine, could be better. Basically here's a short list of what I'm trying to do. I've tried more apps, APKs, and reflashes in the past few months than I can even begin to remember. I don't care how much effort this takes to get it going, as long as it just works. I don't know if what I'm asking for is even possible but at this point I'm tired of going in circles.
-A good, 10-band, virtualizer EQ that works on the entire unit. Something that will affect every bit of audio played.
-A way to reprogram the front-facing buttons.
-Preferably a better radio with HD funtionality
-A quick way to tether internet to the device. (I was using Bluetooth Tethering PRO but it made the unit super slow and unresponsive at times. Ideally gain connection by just plugging my phone into the USB connector but any way will work. I can't seem to get it to function. I'm on Verizon, which from what I've read restricts stuff like that.)
-A car launcher that keeps all functionality. (I was using Car Launcher AG but then I lost all functionality of the Bluetooth player unless I spammed source until I landed on it. Choosing BT Music only took me to the pairing screen.)
-Is there a way to replace stock apps? Like say I found a better app and wanted to replace a stock selection when Source scrolls through, could I do that? Like the Aux app for instance that has a video feed on it for no discernible reason

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.

How to upgrade Android version on head unit? "YT9216BJ"

Hey All.
I just got a head unit for my 2005 Mazda and found out that the actual version is Marshmalllow 6 instead of the advertised 8.1.
Do most head units come with fake 'upgrades'? I used Aida64 app to query list my device (hope accurate).
Is there a way to actually install Android 8.1 on my head unit?[/SIZE][/SIZE]
Unit Info:
YT9216BJ_00012_V001_20200515 <--- build I.D. kernel version (supposedly)
MCU 3.1
Alps AC8227L_demo <--- (not upgradable?)
And... what the heck is 'XY Auto' ?

I had an issue with connecting to my steering wheel control until I went into the Factory Settings to change my CanBus info.
After cycling through different providers and versions I found the 'Raise - 22017 Mazda' works for my 2005 control. (finally says 'connection' instead of 'disconnect")
The only issue I still have is Not being able to connect my stock OEM LCD panel to the head unit, different connection (12-pin vs. 14pin)
Another con I have to get used to: No AM Radio, FM only.
But overall, not too bad for a $130 unit to upgrade my stock radio in my old car.
Now if I can actually get Android 8.1 on it.
Anyone know where I can get latest firmware that'll work for this particular unit ?
Looks like I have the same HU than you in my 2018 Sorento. I'll take a look to see what Aida64 has to say about mine.
Check out this guide to make your unit much better. Faster, better looking and with unlimited tweaking options as well as vast sound improvements.
can anyone know where I can get this update for Android car stereo
update name- "UP_UI19_F27LJ_00011_V001
Hello does this mod or any other fit my radio

Joying HU 2020

Just installed a Joying 7" HU to an Australian Hyundai i30:
Spec JY - UO128N4GSN 8-Core Intel Spreadtrum SC9853i 1.8GHZ
Operating System: Android 8.1 Oreo
GPU: Maili T820 MP2
So far I have been very pleased with the operation and appearance of this HU after owning a prev version 4 years ago.
I have one bug I don't seem to be able to get the better of. I hope someone on this forum may be able to help.
I got a USB front camera mounted beside the center mirror. The camera is a generic Chinese unit U2 with ADAS etc. from E bay. The camera came with "Traffic Safety Guard" pre loaded into it's RAM. I put a 16G card in the camera slot. The software installed into the HU OK.
The picture from the camera displayed on the HU is very good. If I start the program it records the video very well and tags it with date time etc.
Problem:
The HU will not auto load the camera software on restarting the car.
The HU auto starts all other programs I left running like Radio, GPS nav and all others like music player.
If I manually restart the "Traffic Safety Guard" app all is well until I restart the car. Then the HU drops the program again. - infuriating.
Joying offered NO help on my request, said it was normal.
I tried a few Auto Start Apps but they do not change the problem - it still wont restart the camera app automatically.
Any help would be great. Keep in mind I am not proficient at writing software I am an ex telephone tech so elec trickery is my thing.

Use FYTStarter from @bambapin
See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-ram-32gb-flash.3897206/page-58#post-80411035
You can sssign apps to be started on boot/resume from sleep.
That solution worked perfectly first time!!!
I now don't have to worry every time I start the car if I have turned the camera on.
Thank you for your help!
This forum and ones like it are one of the better things about the internet.
Thanks again.

Junsun V1 PRO 4GB + 64GB can't set speed in KPH instead of MPH

Hi to everyone.
I installed this unit some mounts ago on my Jeep Renegade MY17 with a lot of small issues. Now most of them are solved, but I'm still missing the possibility to set the speed unit of the car display in KPH instead of MPH
The speed on the Junsun itselfs is showed in KPH, but since I installed the unit the car display only shows MPH.
In the CAR app there is a setting to switch units from US (i reckon it means IMPERIAL) to METRIC but I cannot change it (does't save if I select METRIC) (see pics)
Maybe there is some other setting to be changed?
thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Fist poor idea would be to change the language, too. There shouldn't be a relationship with the units but sometimes our Chinese friends have crazy ideas.
hi,
yes I tried that already, no luck. Is there anyway to check the version of the car setting App? Maybe there is an updated version that could be fix the problem
thanks!
Where did you find this menu? I'm searching how to set fuel consumption from 1l / XXkm to liters per 100km.
It's from the preinstalled App "Car Info" and then "display"
Thanks! That helped. I'm using Agama car launcher, this app was missing from there. Switching to original launcher, icon appeared.
no worries. Can you manage to switch in your car in that car from KPH to MPH and vice versa?
thanks
