I´ve recently installed a new android head unit in my car and initially everything worked fine and I was really happy with it.
Background Info:
-Atoto S8 Snadard 1DIN S8G1A84SD
-Android 10
Today when the radio started the touch screen was inverted... It is as if the screen was rotated.
It´s just like in this video.
I´ve already tried putting 5 fingers on the touch screen, but unfortunately nothing popped up.
I´ve also tried holding the the RST button, but it doesn´t actually reset the Head unit, it just kinda restarted it.
Later today I´m going to try plugging a mouse into the radio and calibrating the touch screen via. factory settings. Is there a password for the factory settings, if so, what it is? I´ve already disposed of the manual as everything was working fine before.
If anyone knows how I can calibrate the touch screen so it is not inverted anymore I would highly appreciate any help. ♥
Not Android Automotive, requested moderator move to Android Head-Units forums.
First point of support is seller, what do they suggest.
Curious as to how much, if any reading of these forums was put in. Doesn't look like much.

Hi Folks, Firstly I know I have been very stupid. Please don't make me feel worse than I already do. I have read through this board and after feeling like I was about to give in trying to fix my Chinese GPS I have a bit of hope. I bought the unit as working from ebay and decided (stupidly) to flash Mio Pocket after a guy on a car forum sung its praises. I initially meant to run from the sd to test but I accidentally clicked install and it did its thing then froze on reboot. After rebooting it was just stuck on the screen saying Welcome to Navigation. I have measured my screen, it seems to be 6.5" measured diagonally
I found a chinese site and have tried all the firmware on there, it all seems to restore my original GPS side of the software but the screen is the wrong resolution and too low on the screen. I can just about calibrate it by poking my nail down the bezel for the lower calibration points but then when I select the navigation source selection screen I cant see the files as they are off to the left (off screen) I tried using the remote to no avail. I have also tried the 117_nav_en.exe floating around on the internet which again seems to be the right software but the wrong resolution. My problem is that I bought the unit off ebay and I don't know the brand or model number to contact support. Neither does the seller unfortunately (it was used)
The unit is for a Skoda / VW it has GPS, BT, TV Tuner, 2 x sd slots (one for nav one for media) and an iphone input on the front. It has the car door open indicator pictures etc and the non ce side of things is still working fine.
I am reasonably confident that the firmware I have tried so far is for bigger screens than my 6.5" and hopefully if I can find a firmware version for this size I should be ok.
I have included an image of how it currently looks
I really hope someone can help me
Thanks for reading

Hello. I'm going to try to keep this short, but some backstory is required.
I purchased the Eonon GA9450B, found here, several months ago. Installed just fine, and worked for the most part. I tried to use Head Unit Reloaded, but I couldn't get it to work properly, so bought the dongle Eonon sells to be able to use Android Auto. It also did not work. Weeks of back and forth with the company lead to them sending me a file to put on a USB drive and update the firmware. It errored at 3%, more talking with them ensued, and long story short, I got a refund as well sent a new board for the radio. It finally showed up, I take the thing apart, put the new board in.
The radio boots up fine. Bluetooth works, the radio gets signal, etc. My problem is now the screen seems to be reversed. I tap on the left, it will show that I'm tapping the right side, and vice versa. It wasn't doing this previously, so I'm at a loss for what the problem could be. Because of the refund, Eonon is obviously no help with this.
Anyone have any ideas? I can attach pictures or video if needed. Googling lead me to search through the settings, but I couldn't find anything that allowed me to reverse the touch screen. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I have this issue as well in my e46. Everything works fine except the screen is inverted. Tried full reset, hard reset, factory data rest and no change. Wondering if this can be fixed with updated firmware maybe? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m having the same issue on my E46. I’ve had it for 3 days Did you manage to solve the issue?
5-fingers-press on the screen at the same time. Keep fingers not moving until you get a red point in the upper left corner.
Press the red points coming up on each corner and safe the setting... done.
Hi all,
my Mercedes V-Klasse got an Android Head Unit update several weeks ago. Everything was working pretty well and I was very happy. But today, the Android Head unit only shows colorful stripes on the display. The system in the background is still working (as I can head Audio and CarPlay works too). (see picture attached)
After several resets, I was able to see some kind of "normal" picture on the screen. Still with stripes, but at least something was visible. (see picture 2). I should have stopped here with hitting the reset button because just after doing it again, everything is as bad as it started.
Do you know how to do a factory reset with this device when you can't read the screen? Any special trick for the reset hole?
Or you you know this behavior and have an idea beside "switching the device".
Thanks
Sven
Hey Sven, Just wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem as I have just had the same thing happen to mine?
I believe that it may be a capacitor open the board, but I though I would ask you before opening up the unit. Look foward to the response if you find the time.
Regards,
