I have steering wheel mode button running through the CANbus of a car. When i hit the mode button, an app if started will take focus, or if not already running, will load. Press the mode button again and the new app in the pre-defined series opens.
I would like to modify the list of apps that can be started with the Mode switch. Does anyone have info how to achieve this? My unit is a UIS7862 Android 10.

Hi, thank you for the link. Are you suggesting I remap the mode button?
The remap app does not work for any of my steering wheel buttons or switches. Apparently the apps only remap buttons that aren't wired via the CANbus.
Have you found this not to be the case or have I missed something?

if you can't map the mode button to action in the base SWC app then it probably won't work for you. Been talking with someone else who had a Mode button and it was working at least somewhat.
What I am looking for is the file that holds the list of apps cycled through when pressing the mode button.
I would also like to know how to modify the list if it is not just straight text or XML format list.
If you car is like mine there is a built in Steering wheel mapping application, each mode is mapped to either something like volume, or to an action like "Radio", if you map each of your mode clicks to an action "Radio, Video,BT..." then it will cycle those, if you then use the app I linked you can then override each of thise actions to run any app you want.
I have mentioned that due to a CANbus, I can't map buttons.
If your system has a CANbus, kindly advise how you got the map to work. And please name the app you have loaded to allow that.
That would be an option, too:
Use SWC to switch between Navi and Radio

You could change the Automate flow to cycling without problems.
If he can't remap the mode button to the flowstarter app then I"m not sure this will work for him either. Worth a shot though.
If the apps it launches are really hardcoded in the system and you can't adjust any of it in the built in SWC application, then the only other option I can think of is if you tell me the package names of the apps it runs I can try to make a version of the fyt key mapper for yours, but no promises it will work, if the launch intents are directed directly at the built in apps then you're kind of stuck without root.
Hi! how are you! I am having the same problem: cant remap the steering wheel buttons; the left-middle one opens the radio and the right-middle one switches between many apps.
The learning app that comes in android is not working either, in fact, when I try to remap those buttons, it instantly changes to the other apps.
Have you found a solution?

This app was developed to enhance the experience on the Pumpkin Head unit:
Pumpkin 7" 1024*600 Touchscreen Android 4.4 Quad Core 1.6GHz DSP Car Stereo with RAM:2GB (RQ0270)
Currently, the unit offers the possibility to switch between system apps only. AppShifter provides an alternate way to extend this functionality to include favorite apps (Current maximum is 9). PowerAmp (if installed) control is also added as an extra option.
Once AppShifter is installed,
user will need to repeat the next steps to enable it:
a. Goto the Car Settings app.
b. Select as Navigator App the AppShifter.
c. Goto the Steering Wheel controls under the same Car Settings app.
d. Assign the Navigator App to a steering wheel button.
e. Save the settings and exit.
Next user will need to setup the favorite apps through a simple screen by repeating the next steps:
a. Pressing the assigned steering wheel button will bring up AppShifter. Its possible also to run AppShifter from the Launcher.
b. Long press on the icon that will be shown, will launch the Setup screen. Sliding down on the icon will terminate AppShifter.
c. Using the Setup screen, user can locate the apps to be able to shift through and:
c.1 Assign to them a number. This number will be the sequence in which they will be shifted. Same sequence number may be given but after saving, AppShifter will resort them and assign unique numbers. An app can be unassigned by setting the number to '-'.
c.2 If PowerAmp is installed then the option to allow PowerAmp to play at the background when the specific app is shown, is available. By default, AppShifter will pause PowerAmp when in background.
c.3 Any changes made will be saved only after pressing the Save button.
c.4 Exit button will reload the AppShifter and start using the apps set.
After the setup is completed, AppShifter will:
a. Shift between apps when the relevant steering wheel button is pressed. Same functionality is available when touching the screen.
b. The app shown on screen will be launched in 2 seconds unless it is shifted to a new app. PowerApp will be controlled accordingly (if installed).
c. Sliding down on the screen within 2 seconds, will cancel the launch of the app.
Limitations:
- I have only tested it on this head unit which is running Android 4.4, but it should work on other units.
Permissions:
- Draw over other apps. This is required to be able to switch between apps.
Google Play Link:

And a link for the app?

Just installed a Joying JY-ULS01N2 in my Jeep. Loving it so far, even though it's only been in a day. I just got the steering wheel controls hooked up and was wondering if there's some way to map a steering wheel button to an app. Specifically, I'd love it if I could open Google voice search without having to use the touch screen.
I know there is not button map option for an app, but maybe someone has used Tasker or some other app to do this?
Related question re: the "Source" button mapping. This appears to only toggle through the Joying-installed source apps (radio, BT, phone, aux, video). Can these apps be changed? I'd love to be able to toggle through Spotify, SiriusXM, PowerAmp, etc., since those are my go-to media apps.
Welp, I just checked to see if there were any replies and instead saw this post directly below mine: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...-units/joying-2gb-steering-wheel-key-t3543390. Think I'll give gustden's script a try and see what happens.
I know that you can internally change the functions of the buttons, that's not what I am after.
Instead, is there some way to place a custom function on these buttons - like a URL, that when pressed can take you to a specific URL in the browser, or launch a different app?
Anyone?
Has anyone managed to get the SWC keys working within the Wheelkey Study app on a BMW E39? If so, which Canbus settings did you use in the Factory Settings?
I have an 07/1999 E39, and I have recently installed a Dasaita PX6 head unit. I also have the Resler interface installed and use the iBus app to control the factory DSP amp. I am using the Canbus box that came with the head unit to decode the key presses on the canbus, however I get similar results when I use the iBus app to do the same job.
Firstly, The SWC keys do actually work with the default OS with a single press only, and only with the pre-defined functions. The issue that I am having is that no matter what I do I cannot get the key presses to show up in the Wheelkey Study app, and therefore I cannot reassign them, or assign functions to long presses etc.
I have since installed the Hal9k ROM, and it does have some basic ability to re-assign keys, and that works well, however the basic problem remains: The key presses do not appear when I use the Wheelkey Study app, and so I am not able to assign functions to long-presses etc.
No other app that I have used is able to recognise the keys at all. That includes mtce-utils and FCC launcher. Does anyone have any hints or suggestions please?
Many thanks
Did you ever manage to solve this? I have a E46 and want to change some keys and functions of it. But nothing happens in the SWC app also put the mode on CANBUS in the Car settings (Factory settings)..
Welcome
I recently purchased android 10 auto head unit for my Toyota RAV4 2010
MCU : TS-G5.200630
The unit itself supports front and reverse camera ( 2 inputs )
of course Reverse camera comes up automatically after reverse gear
but in order to activate ( show on the screen ) front camera I need to go to unit press menu-then -F-Cam
very inconvenient ( not possible to add /change shortcut to home screen )
now my goal is to be able to activate F-cam by pressing assigned button on steering wheel
on the steering wheel control learning there is no option for F-cam only vol+ vol - pause etc , and its not possible to add custom button at least not from head unit operation.
There are 6 physical button on the radio but again there is no option to change their function ( there is no physical button learning )
How can I either add F-cam to steering wheel control learning
workaround for example assign F-cam to Mode ( physical button ) , :
then use Steering Wheel Control to assign Mode button to one pf the steering physical button
Perhaps need to modify key layout file ?
or need to play with file that is responsible for programming SWC ?
I am sure it is possible but I need help ,
Thanks a lot
no much help here I guess

Not sure if it support this sort of MCU since mine is based on TS -G5
in the GitHub there is only source code , not APK
