Double Din chinese car head unit with custom software...any way around it?

Hey guys, I am really unsure where to ask or even if this is the forum to go to, but I've came across a few of these Chinese headunits online and they seem to be priced so well that I'd like to play around with it.
Example,
http://m.tomtop.com/7-inch-universa...-with-rear-view-camera-k3839.html?aid=CRM0223
This is a 7" double din unit that I'd like to see if it's possible to install some other kind of operating system other then what's preloaded on this.
A fellow forum member has purchased it and it looks like a decent unit that will match our older (2003) volkswagens interior.

Does anybody know if it's possible to load up a different OS/Android onto these units? This one specifically is sold as Model 7018B
Thanks

It's definitely not running Android. Might be a WINCE unit, or proprietary. I very highly doubt you can load anything else onto it. If you do want an Android radio you have to be sure to search for "pure android car radio". Also suggest not getting a AN21-U unit and try for the units with a RK3188 processor and look over to the unit with the MTCB MCU. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcb-android-head-unit-general

You need to open unit. There is board number written inside.
You need firmware for board version, not for the model. I installed firmware from gearbest and it bricked my unit (it was listed for model 7018b).
After few days searching i found out on other website about that.
It will be like this:
Model: 7018B
Board: 7022B-C500-V0.1
and then you can find firmware. Also you cant flash firmware through sdcard as there is no working firmware for that model.
You need to use CH431 programmer and flash directly eeprom chip.

7018b
Did you guy got any news about the firmware, I just did the same from that website

i have purchased same unit with ali express 2gb ram 32 gb internal memeory andorid... i can install all applications via playstores including sygic and google maps... is it not andorid ?

Hi! Is there any page you recommend that explains the proceadure? This just happens to mine and it says "No Signal". It doesn't read the sdcard any more.

I have a strange problem with this device.
All other phones got connected via bluetooth and play music fine.
Only Oneplus 7T when connected
music stutters.
Any workaround for it.

I have purchased a 7018B , 2GB , 16GB internal storage. It came with Oreo 8.1 installed and works great with Sygic GPS as well as Google Maps & Waze. I have also installed VLC for music playback. I have about 20GB music loaded onto a 32GB MicroSD. Great value - does all I want it to do.

here you go.

btw ... im playing around with getting it to go to sleep/screensaver mode after X minutes of inactivity, but i'm not so strong in android coding. if anyone wants to give it a go.
in the meantime you can activate the screensaver/clock mode by pressing the LOGO.

This is really cool, thanks! The only thing that's bugging me about my Android HU is that I can't seem to change the app icons like I can on my phone.
Is there any way to do this?

Hey can you please tell me the path where all the backgrounds and themes are stored? I want to edit it for myself but I can't find it. Thank you

Thanks !
Hello, thank you for your work. Is it possible to have a functional link for BMW?

Can you please Upload it again? one for VW - Thank you

Found a work around. Using "Automate" you can setup a timer and invoke the screensaver from the app every once in a while by running activity "com.autolauncher.screensaver.Clock_Activity"

They are stored inside the APK under "res\drawable-nodpi-v4"

Hi any chance you can customize one for Subaru

Themes
The linked files are packages for the complete free version of the program. The program now allows saving and loading themes (Pro version only. If you don't have the Pro version why not? It is brilliant!).
I assume that you have the Pro version - can you please upload just the themes so that I can continue to use the full App?
Many thanks

Need help with chinese android head unit

I purchased a chinese head unit the other day with the Allwinner R16 A9 Cortex single din head unit currently I cant post links but I will add one later or pictures the best I can I have the model number
Hizpo
AD601UN7001
Not paying attention I downloaded and flashed the wrong file i thought I chose single din file but instead got the file for double din radio an now my screen shows nothing bu lines through it although everything else works fine radio and music apps i just cant see the screen or what I am selecting I have been looking for the stock/original flash files for this radio without any luck hoping i can recover it with a bootable disk option of some sort to reflash it any help would be much appreciated currently stuck with a very expensive brick

I believe 2din vs 1din does not make any difference in terms of ROM version, screen resolution does. Is there a chance you've downloaded wrong resolution ROM? If so, just download yours and reflash.

Long story short the file i ended up flashing i got off the russian forums because thats the only place i could find files for my specific unit but i didn't read the small print at the bottom that had files linked somewhere else and i wasnt suppose to do a certain update because it makes the screen stop working an I was originally trying to fix the battery threshold level to keep unit from restarting from acc to on position it took the update fine just when it restarted the unit the screen hasnt worked since so I've been trying to find a way to either make a auto update recovery disk of some sort or connect a pc to it through adb or something an anither thing to note is i have no back up or anything of my unit an its been a pain trying to find one i messaged the original seller to see if they could help me out an send me the stock files

TS18 TLink CarPlay SWC problems

Hi!
When I am connected via Bluetooth only to the unit, all steering wheel buttons work.
But when its connected to CarPlay, next, pause and previous keys do not work anymore.
If I connect it again via bluetooth, and the CarPlay connection is still there, everything works, but it annoys me to connect everytime via bluetooth again.
I also tried to rebind the buttons and changed them from high to low and back.
Seems like the keys don't get send properly to TLink/CarPlay.
Does anyone faced the issue also before and solved it?
Spoiler: hardware information
Android 11
recently updated firmware, as it says no updates available

I've had the same issue for about a year now.
A completely separate note do you have a backup of that APK for t-link. I did a factory reset and lost mine

There are some Tlink APK’s here;
List of TLINK versions availables
Hello! I'm a new user of a ONWICE T10 Android Head Unit and tester of a lot of versions of TLINK APK, specially for CarPlay. After begging a lot I get a possible latest version of that app but still doesnt works decently. I dont know if it...
forum.xda-developers.com
I downloaded 1.8.8 from there, works well for me. Solved some SWC problems (came from 1.8.6).

upgraded my tlink now to 1.9.5
still did not solved my problem

Merhaba!
Sadece Bluetooth üzerinden üniteye bağlandığımda, tüm direksiyon simidi düğmeleri çalışıyor.
Ancak CarPlay'e bağlandığında sonraki, duraklat ve önceki tuşları artık çalışmıyor.
Tekrar bluetooth ile bağlarsam ve CarPlay bağlantısı hala oradaysa her şey çalışıyor ama her seferinde tekrar bluetooth ile bağlanmak beni rahatsız ediyor.
Ayrıca düğmeleri yeniden bağlamaya çalıştım ve onları yüksekten alçağa ve arkaya değiştirdim.
Anahtarlar TLink/CarPlay'e düzgün şekilde gönderilmiyor gibi görünüyor.
Bu sorunla daha önce karşılaşıp çözen var mı?

TBox Plus (CPC200-Plus) Firmware for QFIL or backup

Hello, I have a problem, my device stopped turning on after a failed firmware and it no longer works in the car. I need a system backup with userdata or firmware for the QFIL program. Help me please, thanks.

При включении загораются две лампы синия и красная. Что это может быть?
Mod translation: When turned on, two lights turn on blue and red. What could it be?

Same as you, the machine is currently not booting due to firmware update problems.
Currently, my machine has a red light on.
The blue light is blinking.
Did you solve the problem?
I'm so curious.

My TBox plus is also in the same condition,
the F*** carlinkit korea's firmware (update.zip) droves me hell. (my t-box plus is from aliexpress, EAU version)
So i tried to solve using EDN mode and QFIL utility. as a result.. no mbn file for TBox plus, and QFIL backups.
pls, help!!

same boat as you ....

I am also a product of the same EAU version, and the product became brick because of the Korean firmware file.
If someone provides a full dump file, I think I can save it using QFIL.
Anyone please share the dump file of CPC-200 plus.

That image link worked perfectly, thank you! Got Android 12 running on my T-Box Plus now

1) What files to use if I have the 138 EAU with Android 11 and want to upgrade to Android 12 ?
2) What can I do to backup the unit now to revert everything with the current, if something does not goes right in the upgrading?
Please help, as I don't want to brick the device and be left alone without it working..
It is working great now, but I just want to upgrade it from Android 11 to Android 12.
138 EAU edition. 4GB+64GB.
