Good morning, I have got an Avin unit Avant 2 for BMW E46 purchased on january 2015 with Android 4.4.1 and last firmware release
After two years of perfect run now I have a big problem. I want to make a short summary of avin e46 isuues. (sorry for my bad english)
On the 2th January 2017 in the afternoon I start my car from a park and avin unit run without problem;
After 10 min of travel with navi on, unit stop to run screen become black and when I restart the car or the unit avin logo was showed for a few second and after disappear:
On the 3th January 2017 when I start my car in the mornng unit was run regular but during the day i park my car and when i restart I've got the same issue of day before. So I try to make a soft reset but nothing run (
On the 4th january 2017 I hope then unit start after the night but when I start my car in the morning nothing run. Avin logo appears NOW for less than a second and anything run.
So I wrote an email to Avin support and after I try to:
- check wires and check battery (wires ok battery is a brand new exide plus)
- made reset factory whit power button (8 shot + 1 15 sec as you suggest) result RESET FACTORY DON'T START
- update with sd card in navi slot and reset hole with your software update result UPDATE DON'T START
- remove unit from the car and power in with a 12v dc external power source result SAME ISSUE THAN MOUNTED IN CAR
All thing that I do give me the same response: nothing.... run and avin logo for less then a second (power is ok because red light is on, cd run ecc ecc)
Please someone can help me because buying this quality unit was very expensive I have preferred it for a cinese unit but I need that it works fine. Thank you Marco
Avon avant 2 stuck on logo
My unit powers up, shows the BMW logo and then stays on Android logo and won't move on from that. I have tried the 8x power button rest but can't reset. Could this be a power issue.
Marco did you find a solution for yours?
Hello,
I bought an android head unit last year with android 6.0 marchmellow on it, however through-out the winter, the mcu became corrupted which caused all of the following issues.
* All factory apps besides the iGo navigation app instantly crash (no radio, music, bluetooth, etc..)
* Nothing can be triggered in the settings menu as it also instantly crashes as soon as you select anything.
* Side buttons no longer light up
* All side buttons no longer work, only the power and volume knob.
* A precious cd stuck in it due to eject not working (factory app).
After multiple times researching a bit here and there over the past few months, I've determined it to be a corrupted MCU.
Head unit is this one:
https (u know what goes here) www (dot) amazon (dot) com/gp/product/B071XXBD9S
"EinCar
Android 6.0 Marshmallow Car Stereo Double 2 Din 6.2 Inch Capacitive Touch Screen Car DVD Player In Dash GPS Navigation Bluetooth Support OBD2 WiFi Mirrorlink"
I can provide more info if needed just have to power it up. j
If I go into the settings menu and look at the about info, the MCU and a few other things are completely blank.
I need help figuring out how to root & flash it. It has a bunch of female end USB, and two micro usb slots.
I've tried doing it from a micro usb, by holding the reset and power buttons but the recovery boot screen gives no options, simply says its updating, then starts up staying the same.
I do have a laptop but have to buy a male to male usb to connect it.
Trying to flash what I think will work with it is called V7.3.2_20171116.202256_KED1-mod
I can access the play store app as well and install app from there which work, just not any factory ones will work.
Any help would be... super helpful
Hi all
I bought a second hand car stereo 8.1 reference 8227l Chinese without name ... see pics
I have several problems : impossible to find how to go into recovery and therefore impossible to root for now ... (I tested all possibilities: reset / power and all keys)
But more serious: impossible to have access to settings / accessibilities necessary for google maps which bug in navigation, or install a program like "velociraptor" to have the speed in real time
Cannot find out how to do a hard reset too : rolleyes: there is a reset / settings function but it does not do anything ... reboot everything stays in place
Thank you for help and good day
Usually reboot and volume +
Thanks for help but not possible with vol+. I'm not sure buttons are enabled during boot they're lightning only after android is running.
Android Head Unit 8227
Good day to everyone, ive also got a head unit 8227L from ebay, its a 7" android 8 head unit, none if the physical buttons do anything, they died after i changed the boot logo, i have tried putting it back to the original one but no help, on top of that, the touch screen dosent work in the cold, and here in the great white north, its 30 degrees below freezing for months, Ive tried everything to get them working again but no luck. I have to use a USB mouse to even do simple things like change volume, so needless to say, its a useless radio until i can get the buttons working again. Any help be greatly appreciated. Ebay just refunded me for the radio they quit trying to help, all they said was to just press the reset button, which dosent help

I do not have an 8227 unit but try to help here.
With my px3/5 and T8 units, I can remap physical buttons using either a built-in app, or Settings/Car Settings menu. You may try to find out available options on your unit.
There is a Russian forum for 8227 units and you may use google translation to see its contents: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=930058 .
Thank you for your response, the touch screen works when the truck gets warm, and only when it gets warm, says on ebay listing that it only works to -10 C, and well it will be awhile for that to happen here, the real problem is the no buttons work, i went to that site you provided and google did a great job translating it, but unfourtnley didnt help my problem, also the picture provided looks different then mine, im not sure how to add photos so i cant even show you what mine looks like, but ebay item 273656041408 thats the one i have
I have an 8227 device but its a hizpo not the same as yours so I dont know if you have the same options. But on mine, when you go into the about device in settings there is a gear icon you can click on which the code 8888 works so you can access deeper settings. One of which is the buttons on the front.
yes, ive tried that option, i can key into the key learn option, but it wont program any of the keys, what i dont understand is, how would changing the boot logo affect any of the keys, it is the 8888 code as you said to get to the other menu page, there is however a slider bar at the bottom of the key study option, has Chinese writing before it, i can slide it from 0-55, not sure what it does or if thats my problem
defective gps module ?
Hi everyone.
I recently bought an 8227L chinese 8.1.0 android car head unit. Everything works well, except the GPS: it can't find any sattelites. The connection of antenna is properly made, I tried to put it in different locations, even outside of my car, but no sattelite found.
Is there any setting I can change (e.g. factory settings or so)? Maybe the GPS chip is defective ? How can I get into that ?
Thanks.
hi there and welcome here, possibly you plugged GPS ant into wrong spot, i know on mine the radio and gps ant look very similar, tho im not sure if thats even possible, it is normal for the radio to take up to 5-10 min for the first calibration. You may be correct on a defective gps antenna, if your antenna has a clear line of sight and its been on for 10-15 min, if its still not finding any satellites id go with a bad antenna, but im sure theres many more people here with much more experience then myself, hopefully someone else has better suggestions

Lucky to get a full refund. lol. Go to Car Settings, Factory Settings, enter password 8888, go to Physical button study and have fun. Remember that some buttons have multiple features like the power button is power and mute.
Btw, it is very hard to find info on these units. Weird since they are awesome for the price.

Dear, I found this procedure to root: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=930058&st=340#entry82160226 .
I can't download the attachment cause I can't login due to Russian.
Did you try this procedure?
Tks.
Hi I cant login to 4pda too, and I doubt this process cause I can't even connect to my laptop (not recognise / no sound with usb)

Oh yes you are absolutely right, in settings/ others/ enable USB2 debug and save/reboot at boot I can see a line at the top (don't remember exactly ... "waiting usb" or something like that.
Now I'm really afraid to try root as I don't have any backup and it's a second hand radio :silly:
Did you try rooting
Hello yes but flashtool.exe is not working on my laptop (I tried with Windows 7 pro)
Ok I gave a new try to Mekede root... so flashtool.exe must be at c:\ on the computer to work but when I put AC8227_android_scatter nothing happened, all is grey, 0kb/s. I tried to connect USB on unit but impossible to recognise (I tried to enable debug USB in dev settings) drive me crazy...
Edit : I totally bricked by flashing MekedeRoot via sd card. I opened unit and saw it's MEDIATEK MT6323LGA 1831AGAH CTG39W03
I'm searching drivers for Windows to connect USB but no chance for now
It looks like I may have come to the right place.I have one of these units from Ebay. It reboots every time power (ACC) is applied and again when you start the engine. I went back to the Chinese vendor and they suggested I do a hard reset. Now the left hand side of the touch screen X0-X200 doesn't work. Nor does any of the soft buttons on the left hand side.
I've gone into the factory settings screen and found the touch related functions; Touch Settings, Touch Test, Physical Buttons Study and debug touch.
The Factory Setting App looks similar to this guide on the Joying website dubdubdubdot joyingauto.com/blog/category/head-unit-problems-solved (I cant post links yet) particularly the Physical Buttons Study and step 3 where the X/Y deltas can be set. However, when I select 'config' in the unit I get a config file not found error.
So would it be possible for somebody to post a copy here of that file for me?
Also in the 8227L Factory settings Menu is the "export Config" option. That creates a file metazone.bin on the USB drive. Could I get a copy of that from a working system please? Mine is 1Mb but checking with GHEX it is pretty empty (0x00's). Also any clues on where it is located or how to import the data?
In /storage/emulated/0 is a file calibration.ini it has zero bytes does that have anything to do with it? A copy of that would be appreciated as well please?
Then there is the reboot problem. I have another, different, Android 7 unit in another vehicle it comes on and stays on immediately power is applied.
I have found this file auto_shutdown.sh in the root folder
I hope you can help please? I'm having trouble with the vendor etc to get any resolution or refund
Hello guys. I picked up an A-Sure 9" touch screen head unit to put into my MK5 GTi. I got it as it was local and only 50 euro. Tested it at home, workes perfect, couldn't reset the system due to a password but little bit of googling got me 3368 code which worked!
Today I spent a good while downloading Spotify, Google Maps etc. To the unit. Set it up in the car, all going well. I had to turn the car key on/off a couple of times and the unit booted with the usual VW logo however a message underneath that said something like "system not started 3 times fully, will self-test and restar automaticallt". Aaaaand that's where I am now, can't get anything else out of it ?? Any help is apprreciated. Managed to get some screen when I held the vol up+down buttons, said API Active:3 and Intel Sofia 6 I believe? The wait here and nothing again.
What did reseller suggest to try and resolve?
