car multimedia android - no radio sound - Android Head-Units

Hi
Car wolfswagen duble din andoid 4.4.2 system.
no rado sound at all . youtube and bluetooth sound is working.
tried to reset and system and still no sound..
does the radio have a ddiffent connection to the speakses?
Thnx.

Are you able to hear MP3 music stored on SD/USB or internal memory?
Is the FM receiver set to the right market? There are differences between the states. You need to check in the system settings of your unit.
Do you hear at least white noise? If you don´t hear anything and the FM receiver does not find a station, the FM receiver seems to be broken. Can mostly be exchanged if you are able to solder. Depends on the unit.
...but related to the age of this unit, I would not recommend that.

Station names is something different and is related to bad FM reception.
Well you are talking about VW. So I expect that your car has at least 3 antennas. One in the back window and one in each side window.
You most probably did not connect the antenna correctly. I don´t think that the receiver is broken.
Seems that you need some professional help to get this working with your setup.

With VW cars (and all others of the VW family) we are talking about Antenna-Diversity.
That means that a control-unit in the back of your car is checking all available antennas for the best reception and routes only this antenna to your radio.
You will find the control unit behind the right plastic panel in the trunk of the car.... at least mostly.
Antenna-Diversity is not really usable for any known-to-me aftermarket head units.
You need to check now:
Pull out the radio and check the antenna cable from the car.
Do you see a double FAKRA connector on car side?
Do you see only 1 single FAKRA connector on car side?
Is there a phantom power adapter between the radio and the car FAKRA connector, with a +12V connector?
In case you are struggling with that... Just pull out the radio and provide some photos where we can see the cable and the cable colors of the connectors.... Do that for all the cable tree connected to your radio.

hi all
got it working just bu plugging a USB cable and it works as antenna....
thank you all!!

Well... you should get your antenna working, instead of a workaround with some USB cable. At least I don´t get the connection between FM and USB.

Seicane S6920 (Android 7 head unit) microphone and antenna issues

Hi everyone, I tried searching, I'm very sorry if I missed it. The one we have is the typical quad core, 16GB storage / 2GB RAM unit with Android 7.1 pre-installed, running on a PX3.
We just installed this last week, and we love it, but we have a couple of issues.
I have a microphone wrinkle that seems different than other posts. I don't use the mic much, and right now, I don't want to install an external. The mic clearly works for the bluetooth phone dialer (I put my phone outside the car to verify that the head unit mic was being used), but I get nothing at all for any other app (OK Google, OK Waze, a voice recorder app I downloaded to test, etc).
There had been mention in threads I searched of going into the factory settings menus / independent volume levels, but I see menu options only for adjusting volume levels to speakers (radio, apps, etc), but nothing for the mic. And obviously it's not zeroed out because it works with the bluetooth dialer. I asked the seller (Seicane) and they are looking into it. Any thoughts? Just to be clear, again, I just want to know about getting the internal one seen for other apps (mostly to be able to use OK Google), I know there are options to splice in an external mic... and we'll cross that when we come to it.
Also, we installed into my 2010 VW Eos... has anyone connected the VW diversity antenna lead to this stereo, can you recommend the right adapter, since this is the only piece that does not seem to have been included with the head unit that we need?
The only other thing I'm trying to figure out right now is how to stop it from going to a hazard icon (because I don't have a backup cam) whenever I go into reverse. It sounds like what I need to do is root the device and delete the APK for the reverse cam, or else it sounds like cutting a wire is also an option, I just haven't tried either, yet.
Thank you for looking!
i have a Seicane, 2 actually, the older 6.0 unit and the newer 7.1.2 unit with PX3:
https://youtu.be/MWVsNWZjeCQ
You shouldn't have to splice anything for an external mic? Did it not come with one? there should be a hole to plug in? That being said, I have not tested it without the external mic, but I definitely can get OK Google to work with the External Mic. Next time I take it apart, I'll try the internal only.
as far as the backup came, did you look in Extra Settings? or Factory Settings? I do have a backup cam, so I want it on, but I think there is an option to turn that off somewhere.
Edit to add - I also started a Seicane subreddit:

Hi, I'm sorry, external radio antenna (not mic). The car has something that looks like maybe a twin FAKRA connector? The adapter that attaches to the back of the head unit is supplied for antenna, but it doesn't match that... I see things that look like they might fit on Amazon, though, going to order one ASAP and give it a try.

Hmmm, I might be missing which setting controls this, there doesn't seem to be one related that I can find, although what some of them do seems kind of counterintuitive.
I'm going to go check out your subreddit! Thanks!
The Seicane will included an AM/FM radio adapter for regular radio, but I already had the Metra 40-EU10 Antenna to Radio Adapter:
http://amzn.to/2y2pJln
That one is Jeep specific, is that what you are looking for?

Thank you, we went back in and looked more closely. So it turns out my Eos actually has three different antenna systems, and the stock radio connected to them all in a diversity arrangement and switched between them as needed, apparently. One of them has a single Fakra connector (what plugs into the piece you posted), which is what we plugged into (except that we missed plugging the power wire back into the wiring harness to the CANBUS), but I found several posts related to other head units that said that the other pair of antennas, that are in a twin Fakra connector (two of those plugs side by side) actually works better (but it sounds like it isn't possible to use them all at the same time). So the next step will be to order an adapter from the twin Fakra to the plug on the head unit (sorry, I haven't hit ten posts so I can't link it) and in the meantime I'll see if the missing power wire makes things any better, it sounds like I was using the antenna that I was using, unpowered, when it's supposed to be a powered antenna....

One more update from me. I missed this fairly large thread about the microphone issue, which seems to not have a known fix, yet:

Joying Intel AM/FM Radio Issue

So I just installed this unit in my 2002 sierra
https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-8...een-car-navigation-system-with-4g-module.html
AM and FM radio were working fine.
Drove around for about an hour. Came back to my vehicle later on radio worked for about 10 seconds and now my radio just makes a humming sound like something is turning off and on. I took the radio out, rechecked my connections (I connected the Antenna CONT wire to my blue antenna wire, and even tried switching it with the AMP cont wire). I have turned on the setting of ANTENNA ON in the unit options.
What could this be? My bluetooth and music work just fine, it is only the radio. My truck doesn't have a visually retractable antenna, but it does have an onstar antenna, so maybe it technically it is a "power" antenna. Regardless it was once working and now is not. I have emailed JOYING, and their help in broken english is useless. I have had this radio for 1 day and its already malfunctioning. I had a pumpkin px5 in my last truck that glitched here and there, this is just unacceptable on day 1. Not to mention this single din unit doesn't even click into place within the single din radio chassis/housing....
I am attaching a google drive video so that you can hear the humming I am talking about.

Any help is appreciated
As a guess, sounds like the tuner has failed.

Is that something I can fix through software or taking apart the unit? Or will I have to exchange for a new one?

Teyes cc2 plus installed but no sound

Hello, I recently bought a Teyes cc2 plus for m'y Mazda CX-7 2009 and I installed it. Everything Is working and plugged in except there is no sound. I tried to do a Factory reset and a canBus update but it doesn't repair it. Can someone have an idea on how to make it work properly and what IS the problem? Thank you very much

Hi, if Radio only has no sound probably is wrong chip settings in hidden menu, try changing to other IC type - like 7686, sx7380 etc.
If not restored upgrade new android version (find similar software here on forum for your devcice and upgrade from USB)
Thank you for the response. Do you know how I can access this hidden menu to see if this is the problem?
I have a grey connector on the loom that I can't connect to anything and a blue wire that is named AMP-C.
Do I need to connect those for the sound to work?
You must connect antenna cable - that black wire one with fat belly at picture nb. 4 along with gps and dab black wires (if they are for that - with gold ending), and blue and black for amplifier I think and harness cable / this wires in a lot
Can you show me back end of a radio what looks like ? Where ports and connectors are.
That's all I got.
Connect all wires properly and plug fm antenna in device, all wires as I see have designation what is for, connect them all in ports where they belong. Turn device on and go inside hidden menu of device , with pin 8888 (or 0000 or what number is for your device and once in take photo of that menu , if has RADIO MENU inside take photo of that aswell).
I already did that and try a lot of things but nothing works. There is a developer menu and inside there is nothing about the sound or radio. Same for the factory menu. I tried to connect the blue wire named "amp-con" with the red wire named "ACC" like the vendor on Aliexpress said but it doesn't work.

Do you have phisical amplifiers in car (connected to audio)? If do unplug it and start machine and see if helps (if does help amp is too high and powerfull for your device).
Maybe some antenna like GPS antenna is faulty and is interfering with device, it happened to me once. I bought a new gps antenna and radio and sound works now. To test this simply disconnect GPS antenna and plugg FM antenna and try it without gps antenna, if works that is the case here.
Are you connecting to an external amp? If so you need to be able to turn on that amp with the amp trigger wire (blue wire)
There is an amplifier inside the car yes. It's in the trunk a bose amplifier. What's weird is that when the original radio is connected it only uses the big connector between the car and the radio.

Is it a factory amp or aftermarket? Factory amplifiers usually use the SPEAKER level inputs
It's the factory amp. Here more pictures about what I have for wires.
My guess is that your amp isn't getting a "turn on" signal. Go to FACTORY SETTINGS and make sure you have "with amp" (or something like that) checked to YES.
Some factory amps are turned on through CanBus and some are simply turned on with a trigger wire. Not sure which one yours is... you will have to investigate, but it sounds like the amp is off.
I have already set the amplifier power supply to Yes inside the factory settings but no sound again. Could it be the canbus brown box that is the wrong one or do you think this is something else.

Reduce amplifier level and see if helps, some amplifiers are to strong for aftermarket headunits. Try with low audio levels first. Just to see if works.

Do you have DSP effect in headunit ? Turn to lowest levels, then restart machine (and remeber old setting in case you might turn back)
I'm going to check that in a minute
No there isn't dsp effect in the menu. In this video you can see that the only thing that's need to be connected except the rear camera(brown + acc) is the big red connector. I have the same car has him. His car have the bose system too. The only thing that he have different is the canbus decoder that is named MZ-SS-06 when mine is RP5-MZ-002. Could it be the real problem?

Car radio app

Hi, does anyone know what radio app supports vordon ac-8290 nexus. I don't seem to find one that works. Rds would be a bonus, if it is even possible.

As always: Radio is placed on the main board and Android is just some sort of "monitor" for it and reacts on system internal communication. There is mostly no other radio app which will work with your main board. May be you can try https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...9-intel-ts10-uis7862-and-ts18-uis8151.4024701 if your unit is supported.
Thank you for your reply, but sadly it doesn't work.

Well, but this is not FM/AM, it´s another source. Other that DAB+, he could use as example any Online radio application.... but this does not change the bad FM reception...

Most of the time there is something wrong with the antenna connection.
VW, Audi... with diversity:
If your car has multiple antennas like VW, Audi.... you need to make deeper changes to get a good FM reception, because these units do not support diversity. In this case, you need to search a car shop who is able to disconnect the diversity module and connect one single antenna to the unit. In this case you need to get a good antenna amplifier to get this working.
If your car has no deversity:
These cars have an antenna amplifier which needs just a phantom power adapter to get in between the Radio and the antenna, connected to the amplifier cable of your unit. If there is no, just add it to the cable which is marked as ACC.
DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE CABLE MARKED WITH BAT!
These adapters are really cheap. Don´t buy the cheapest for $5, look for a known supplier.
Before doing anything else, try that out and report back.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I just ordered tha dab+ usb and will try that out. Its not that the FM radio doesn't work, its just the stock radio app is not good, that is why I was looking for an alternative, preferably with RDS and AF which this one does not have, also there is no customization and so on.

In this case you should look for DAB-Z.

Junsun V1 Pro FM reciever stopped working

Hi!
I recently bought a Junsun V1 Pro 4GB + 64GB. And I got, like many other problem with microphone quality. Thanks to (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ooth-phone-calls-junsun-v1-pro.4166471/page-3) I solved that problem.
And in the process i got new firmware from junsun and updated.
And then i connected headunit in car again and then FM stopped working. (Which was working perfect for a couple of weeks when troubleshooting bad microphone quality)
When starting the unit and then radio app there is a brief noise from radio that fades away quick. The channels are set to 0. And nothing happens if i try to scan for new.
I have triplechecked the connection to antenna, I measured the adapter for cable breaks.
I have tried a ton of settings in 8878.
I'll post screen of current settings, please help me troubleshoot this!

Hi, first things first...
Antenna. It must be connected to a mass (zero) of car in order to work so check that first.
Second... Change Radio chip in system settings and see if it is misconfigured. TDA 7851 is the common one used in this devices.
P.S. in image I see that RDS is OFF turn this ON !

Hi Anton, thanks for engaging with me!
When you talk about the mass connection, do you mean at the antenna side or on the head unit?
I'll try the TDA 7851 with RDS On, but i've already tried a ton of combinations in this menu since problem started.
I thought that reset to factory would also reset these settings but unfortunatley it only reset android.
Anyone know how to get these settings to factory?
Antenna works in that way that when jack is connected into antenna port mass of the car / or units mass - metal casing gives contact. But if it is not antenna case here and double checked, you can also check for a faulty GPS antenna if you have one , if faulty it can freeze radio , I had this problem on my old device. Go to GPS antenna test app and see if signal is constant with at least three satellites if not disconnect GPS antenna from unit and open radio app, see if works without GPS antenna. If yes, replace GPS antenna, buy new one.

Ok, I quadruple checked the antennaport mass and checked GPS on which i have aprox 30 satellites.
Something with update changed your RADIO chip consult with seller or gaver of update
Problem solved now! I reached out to seller. And it turns out that "Radio" has to be in "Menu Icon" in order to function properly. (8878 Menu)
I removed radio since I wanted the button to open phone. Which I didn't got working anyway.
Thank you for helping!
