Android HU: Junsun DVD-9.0-AN Android 4.4.4 9.0 inch

I was considering this HU for my 2016 VW Polo since I don't care much about having a DVD slot. The title for this HU says DVD but it doesn't sport a drive. Though the spec seems good (RK3188) and the price isn't much either I didn't find any reviews or information about this HU on XDA (or outside).
There are couple of places this is being sold from Ali express to GearBest and also on their own website.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this one? Specifically I was looking for community support (root, custom firmware). Since this sports a RK3188 chip can other ROMs be used on this? Also the HU has a very thin form factor (compared to other HUs) - so would heat be an issue?

Who knows?
It doesn't have a volume control knob, if you can live with that. Personally, on screen adjustments for volume, track selection, "back," and on/off is very unhandy and annoying. You can't just reach up and adjust it with out looking. Also the volume steps of the touch controls are not always small enough to set a precise level. These units, with no US contacts or service, are a pain if you need something. Carjoying is in the US and quite responsive. Updates are also made.....who knows about those other relatively unknown products. They may never update and may no work with other software. I have never seen a 9" screen wonder if the thin bezel is just a half inch smaller and uncovering the edges of an 8" panel. This is just conjecture but perhaps worth considering.

Thanks for the response. I ended up placing an order for this unit instead. I dropped the other one mainly due to there being hardly any orders and reviews. I also did not get any proper responses from the sellers regarding that unit - probably since its new and they are themselves unaware of its features/fit. I agree about the support issues but I also had a tight budget and as long as it works fine :fingers-crossed: I should be OK. Importing these into India attracts a sizable customs duty The unit I bought costed me about $190 shipped via FedEx so I expect the customs would be proportionately lower.
Regarding the volume I have steering wheel controls which should serve the purpose of physical buttons. Though I agree that having a knob is more convenient I also kind of like the flush surface of these full touch units - lesser issues of dust settling.
I will post an update here once I get the unit and install it. BTW the reviews for this on AliExpress are excellent - would love to hear from anyone already owning this. I asked the seller about rooting and custom firmware (kind of essential for android units) but didn't hear anything positive This lack of support and the fact that this is an AllWinner solution (R16 QuadCore Cortex A7) were the only two drawbacks I saw in it (given its price).

How to root Junsun Android 4.4.4
I purchased this unit also from gearbest and like some things about it, but question other things.
The good:
1. The unit is ridiculously thin for a car stereo. There is no CD/DVD player
2. Sound is actually decent. Little difference from the stock unit
3. The home page with rotating icons is cool and different. I can also put a live wallpaper behind it
4. Mirroring app works ok, but I'd rather tether.
5. I can play videos and music on a USB flash drive
The bad:
1. I can't launch other apps and listen to music at the same time. (i.e. when I load Google Maps, radio stops)
2. No native capability to bluetooth tether. USB tethering with EasyTether also didn't work.
3. There are no microsd inputs like other Chinese Android units I've see thus far. I can connect a USB drive to 2 available connectors routed from the back of the unit. This isn't necessarily bad. Just requires different process for rooting that's TBD.
4. Instructions are only in chinese. Don't know who really makes this device, or how to get their technical support. So far, gearbest has provided some answers, but they're far from accurate!
So that said, I'd like to root and install some different apps and drivers that might make USB or bluetooth tethering possible. And that might allow me to listen to radio or USB music or Pandora while I have something else like Torque or Waze running.
Here are settings from the unit:
OS Version/Build Version: JAX1602191130G-WQ-16EN
MCU Version: 201512161416-SLX7786-GEN
CPU Model: RKPX3
Android: 4.4.4
There is also a 'system' page, where I can go to advanced, press 1234 as the password (found it through trial and error) . A screen is then available to upgrade MCU or firmware. However, I don't know where the files should be placed for this screen to register them.
Any pointers on process to root this and/or install something like Malaysk Firmware? Thanks!

Congratulations! Like I said I dropped the idea of buying this due to reasons mentioned above.

This is really bad since it defeats the whole purpose of an Android-based HU. Are you using the stock music app or trying something you installed?

I think all these units restrict the bluetooth to the MCU and is generally not available to other apps. Though I am not sure how Torque works.

This is a problem with most Chinese purchases - informed support is almost non-existent. However since you have an RK3188 based unit I think some of the support threads here may match your unit (at least partially). First try to get into the extra setting menu using the passwords given in the RK3188 threads and rooting as well. You need to find the thread that matches best to your unit/firmware based on trying out the various settings/tweaks. Don't flash anything till you are certain you are in the correct support thread. All the best!

I am sure that this is some soft/firmware restriction. Android 4.4 has a native support of multitasking, so it should be by default in any of core versions of this OS. Main problem that I didn't find any resources where this issue was resolved.

Mine will !

This is really awful - how can they sell a "Android" HU with such limitation? You should give the seller an earful and a bad review for the unit so they are forced to fix it!

I have the same unit also , the camera doesn't show when I am in reverse mode , the steering wheel don't work with the radio, rkpx3 model

I need to know what MCU is installed on this unit . Someone has any clues ?

You can have a glance at this Pumpkin HU for VW, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pumpkin-Android-Navigation-Subwoofer-Multimedia/dp/B01D30XDXY/

Lol. Even on the official video where this HU was demonstrated , MCU version is 'unknown' ))) http://screencast.com/t/RnQxbkAZBaWX

I bought this device.
The menu is exactly the same, firmware is the same: JAX1603281325G-WQ-16EN.
There's a microSD slot on the front panel.
MCU version: 201601251011-SLX7786-GEN .
Built-in player and radio can not work in the background, and this is the biggest trouble. There is not a full solution is to install third - party players who know how to work in the background, for example: BlackPlayer. But unfortunately, in third-party players do not switch tracks from the steering buttons. Adjust the volume and MUTE works as it should, because these buttons are programmed for the entire system. I liked that as a quick call navigation, you can assign any button on the steering wheel and choose any app.
The unit is decent, especially for the price. But such silly mistake with a built-in player and radio can wipe out all the pluses. Wrote to the seller, promised to talk to the engineer, perhaps

Typo?

Is that a typo? There is NO microSD slot on this unit. You can connect a USB Flash Drive to the USB connections on the back of the unit though.

No. I have already found it when disassembled this HU. Its located on left edge of device. You can use it to flash ROM , or like normal SD... Now I working with stock firmware, trying to solve all issue mentioned in this thread. Its not so easy... bcz this MCU and firmware are not usual for this type of HU, and I didn't worked with this OS before ).

I noticed that the built-in player and radio do not have the manifest permissions to change the audio system settings ("modify audio settings"). Using APKEditor added this line to manifest, but to save, unfortunately, did not work, because I get the error message: the program is already installed and is missing a digital signature. If necessary I can put the modified and the original source code of the apk "music" and "radio"... Now are struggling with receiving the digital signature, the idea is APK Editor must sign the modified apk with the native signature. Apparently, there is some protection.

n the process of using the device revealed the following shortcomings (about the first two already written):
1. Not running in the background built-in music player . That is, when playing music you can't use Navigator. You have to use one or the other.
2. Not running in the background built-in radio programme. That is, while playing the radio you can't use Navigator. You have to use one or the other.
3. Not running in the background audioclub built-in bluetooth . That is, when playing music from phone via bluetooth you can't use Navigator. So you have to use one or the other.
4. After the completion of the incoming call via the bluetooth Protocol SOMETIMES falls off the sound of the entire device. Most likely, the audio service bluetooth does not give audio device. You have to reboot the head unit by switching off the ignition.
5. I really want the joystick on the steering wheel could switch tracks on ALL the audio players and not just on the built.
6. Lost sound player and radio when you lock the screen (press on the power button), which is very inconvenient at night, since I want to eyes did not detract.
7. It is unclear how sync contacts via bluetooth. Some appear, some don't.

I received from the seller working firmware, music is now able to work together with NAV. If anyone needs - let me know.

bmw f30 android 7.1.x head units

Hi,
I am trying to buy an android head unit from aliexpress for my bmw f30 2013. Very few sellers answer questions and not to the point.
e.g.
1) does it supports after market front camera through RCA input and how easy is to select it? (e.g. does it appear automatically right after reverse gear)
2) does it support can bus messages or do I need a can bus converter. I have already tried 2 multimedia interfaces (IW06B-N23 and QHI-BM12) but they dont trigger the camera. So how to be sure that the same will not happen with the android head unit
3) which MCU is used in order to see if I will be able to find updated firmware on xda forum
4) will I hear oem radio during google maps navigation (hearing also google maps directions)
5) will it connect automatically to my iphone hotspot for internet
6) will it work for iphone 11.2 mirroring
7) will it show perfectly the oem screen
8) would I be able to use steering wheel controls for bluetooth and which bluetooth will I be able to use? the OEM one or the Android one?
9) would I be able to use idrive in google maps
All of the above I believe are very basic information that you cannot get from sellers. I dont understand how they sell or I am missing something here.
Is there anyone here with similar problems so we can help each other?
Regards,
Mike

With a name like Mike, you're maybe English or American? I really suggest buying locally. You'll pay £/$30 more but you'll get a warranty and protection from your local trading laws. Buying from China is a game of Russian roulette. I bought an Erisin from China before and it was absolutely fine. Lucky that, because one I bought from England was not fine, and I had to return it. Had it been the other way round, I'd have been in a world of trouble and £100+ down the ****ter.

It will come with a canbus decoder unit. Any unit worth it's salt will work correctly with your PDC system. Mine does.
3) which MCU is used in order to see if I will be able to find updated firmware on xda forum

MCU is not important. It's the brand that puts out firmware updates. Xtrons, Joying and Eonon have fairly solid reputations for their updates. Xtrons have put out 5 so far for my unit. Erisin have a fairly flakey reputation. The rest are going to be a complete gamble and more likely you'll lose.

You're mixing two entirely different software packages up here.
To conclude, if your car has iDrive. I wouldn't go anywhere near one of these systems, it'll be a ****ing minefield making it work. If yours is non iDrive, like mine, then it'll fit perfectly with no issues

Thank you for the supplied information. I am from Greece/EU and locally there are no such products.
Chinese solutions for BMW F30 are mainly changing only the screen (which is detachable) and the new one includes all the features inside the screen, so the main OEM function remain in-place.
I would take a look at xtrons as I have seen various posts here and they have a decent website hoping to receive updates but I dont know yet if they have an EU warehouse because import taxes is my country are very high. My concern stays for idrive and canbus integration mainly because I have already tested 2 other types of interface and non of them worked.
Lets see if xtrons will reply on aliexpress with more to the point questions!

Your car has iDrive? Be very careful. Those systems are so much more complicated. The reason the non-iDrive works is because it's actually still a simple system. It's just a whole bunch of relays triggered by other relays and a few more relays and then somewhere there's a computer that does it all. iDrive has it's own dedicated computer which does so much more and offers so much more functionality, and that's where you might find problems. Getting those two systems integrated could be an absolute minefield.

Not sure if you are still around or found more info but the above posts are incorrect. The unit you are buying is more than likely the 10.25 screen upgrade with Android built in. It will work in tandem with idrive....everything works and it is easy install and upgrade.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-...00a8-4760-8b00-b2efeaa2fb7e&priceBeautifyAB=0

So a stupid question, it seems there are several Chinese companies that sell these 10.25" Android panels for the F30 BMW. Though the interface looks exactly the same despite who made the tablet, is there really a difference in the ROM image between makes? The one I have is from COG Android (atleast that is what the Bluetooth ID says). I have had in other cars Joying and ITOPWay, are they really something different ( I almost suspect they are the same company)?

I will pay for help plzzz

I recently purchased a chogath a7 for 03 Accord first is it any good secondly I cannot get the climate display to show for anything the buttons work but no display for it. It's running Oreo with octa core also when I connect to WiFi the time goes back to something not my region in USA NJ I'm willing to pay anyone who can help me.

If
you mean that the AC is not displaying, there is a couple of things you could try but it's not guaranteed it will work. Go to settings, then find car settings and in that menu go into the Factory Settings option. The code is something that you need to find out from the manufacturer. In there there is a canbus menu option. I suppose it will say "No" in there so just try to find the one matching your car. Then press apply and restart the unit. Try to see if the wheel controls work. If not then try to find an app called vehicle information or something similar. Enter that app and see if you get any info. If you dont then get back to the factory settings again and try another CANbus setting. There might be 2-3 that work on your make/model.
If nothing works and you lose the wheel controls, just change that setting back to "No" and you will need to live without AC and open door information
About the steering wheel controls... You mean that you dont get the volume changer graphic on your head unit?
For the wifi issue, you can just disable the auto time setting in the settings and it will never revert back again

Yes and no
With climate my ac works when I got the button but as far as coming up on the screen I just don't know how high or low it is. Like fan speed whether it's dash or dash and feet. The temperature it's set to those things. I get WiFi. And when I go into my settings I don't have any user settings and I do see ether canbus model selections but only one for 7 gen Accord. Is this something a update would fix or a custom rom

Anyone ?

Did you ever find a solution? I'm in the same boat as you.

N
Nope i went on eBay and asked other sellers to help me but in the mean time the control for climate stopped working completely. It was only the display but now it don't even control it the lights don't light up when i push the button like they used to either. You can't get any help for these units anywhere. It's frustrating. I can't find ROMs updates help information. Apparently all winner makes cops for more then just head units. The brand don't really mean much because underneath there all the same. I have been trying to find any help at all for one of these units and a 03 Accord ex that has factory navigation and i can't get any help and this site is usually pretty good with help. I learned allot about phones on here but it got nothing with help for the head unit or wiring or anything.

You're best bet is to take it to a mechanic, or a person who deals with chinese head units in real life, and get them to set it up for a small fee

Chinese headunits are pretty wierd, you'll most likely be having to experiment on your own..

I may have a solution for you. Solution is a new CANBUS deocder , the one that supports all settings from your car MCU (decoder interacts with your car computer, some cheap Chinese stuff that came originally with multimedia device are somewhat limited - cheap but expensive in hole multimedia order).
Had similar problems and my seller choosen one of the expensive ones, but I did not order it yet, but told me that this one limited in my car cannot get all the functions from car MCU.
It gave me specs for a most possible replacement so all of you in need of a new canbus to resolve your issues look on Ali Express by this :
- origin : CN
- Year : 2019
- External testing certification : CCC
- Model name: ASPI decoder
The Store on Ali Express is called NEVEGETOR STORE
NOTE: generally this one described works with ALPS multimedia devices
Good luck and tell me if your problem is fixed, post here !

RK-A715 Generic Android head unit

Hi. This will, iirc, be my first ever post here but have browsed the forum for a while for Android things. I have just bought a generic Android head unit:
(ah, no links for me...)
2Din-7in-Android-7-1-GPS-Navi-RDS-FM-Radio-Quad-Core-Car-Stereo-MP5-Player-Cam-
This model, but without a camera since I already have a cam. Anyway, this is not the issue. I am trying to get info about it and the seller is not exactly full of help. I suspect they don't really know much about the system. I have got it working fine: Radio is good, installed Poweramp, Sygic navigation etc etc. I also installed Torque pro as I have used it on my phone. My problem is that when I go into the settings there does not appear to be any option for bluetooth. There are very few options in settings in fact and I cannot see any way to pair up my bluetooth obdii unit to the head unit.
I realise I have not given a lot of info here, but there is not much info available from it though. What I can find is:
About Car Machine

it has an ARMv7 Processor rev 3(v7l) with 1GB ram and 16GB nand flash.
The steering wheel controls don't work either and I know my canbus adaptor is working as it worked fine on the last unit I had.
Any help you guys might be able to offer in the way of pointers for O.S. or even how to get the proper android settings on the machine would be really useful. Ta in advance, and I was not sure if this was the correct place for this post so if not could a mod shove it where it should be, if not here.
[Update]
Just ran some diagnostic tool on the unit. Hmm, It is reporting Android 7.1_KitKat! I suspect this is why the settings menu does not look right... It's also showing a build of ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.11 so I might be able to find something here for the unit?

I'm guessing that's a no then!?

Hello man.
I bought plenty of android head units.
those devices is a BLUETOOTH READY,
which means ., You're able to connect to your phone and check address book and make phone calls also listen to music through the BLUETOOTH app in menu, NOT TO BE FOUND IN SETTING.
you can think about it simply it's a Bluetooth that's independent from the android system.
so you'll not be able to find and connect to OBD's tools whatsoever.
hope this helps
regards.

I have the same unit. The cpu is MT6582 it's a quad core.
Kingroot failed many times (said it clearly) but, after some reboots, finally succeeded (without saying it clearly).
Once root, I used a shutdown app to boot into recovery, but the buttons are not responding. It also managed to boot into fastboot mode,
but my pc doesn't see the device (I've tried both usb ports). Maybe it needs a driver ?

Help with Chinese multimedia stereo

Hello everybody.
I am from Greece and I am new here. I want make some questions about this cheap multimedia screens I bought a plug n play android for Ford focus 2008. Factory setting menu does work fine and I can't calibrate things. Ex background button color, mcu infos etc. Radio doesn't work fine, doesn't let you give name to station etc. Also the most annoying thing is that when you switch off the engine, car dash board stays on all night. When you switch on again, android doesn't start from the beginning booting logo etc, but it open from the last screen before I close the car. That's why I put the old stereo back.Also at factory settings with code 8888 when I choose the model of can bus, it doesn't have focus inside. Only mondeo, fiesta and 2 more. I read something about fake android and that I have to install a new firmware. I also know the fake android because I had same problem with old xiaomi cell phone that I bought from China. Any way. Can someone tell if I have fake android and if i have, where I can find the right firmware to download and install it?thanks a lot
(I can't find how to upload photos)
