Hi All,
I’ve just bought a toyota voxy 2004, and the original stereo was replaced for an Android K2001N. The stereo is not amazing but.. it does the trick (has Bluetooth to link my phone and listen to spotify music, and that’s all I need)
The car has a Video reverse camera.. but it doesn’t work when going on reverse.. (I mean the screen of the radio doesn’t show up the camera app)
So Not sure if either the camera is deas or not well connected or if it’s just a software/configuration issue.
In the car dealer garage where I bought it they’re telling me that stereo doesn’t have the reverse camera feature/port.. what sounds really weird to me..
they told me I need to replace the stereo and camera if I want to make it work..
What do you think?
Thanks a lot in advance

Based on your story above, it looks like it's just a device configuration problem.
Check the camera cable line, starting from the connector, cable condition, ignition / electricity to the camera itself, is everything in good condition (it would be better if you use a multitester)
From experience in the field that I have encountered, most of the problems are in the car's cable and electrical connections.
that's all. Thank you.
Hi! you can change the parameters...go to Adjust car, Information, factory setup, and you will see where you can enter the Factory Settings, type 1617 and confirm.
Please don not touch nothing more! you can brick the radio android!
Go to "Backcar Setting"
And you can there see various selections, you can set all the possibilities until you get image! If you don't, maybe your camera is broken!
My problem is when i save the changes...it nothing is saved!
With the motor stops i cab see the image but running...nothing appears!
Be Lucky!

Anybody knows how to use the AUX port to play music through the head unit?
Hi, I have the same doubt here. I bought a pure Android unit (still trying to find out which make and model is, as it's unbranded, with RK3188A chip, but not matching any MCU listed on the HuiFei wiki page), and I see that I can only use the dual zone for DVD while navigating (IGO) on the head unit. I mean, I have no PIP functionality (not a big issue), but the dual is not working as expected. I can only send video to rear monitors if it's played from the DVD. No USB, SD, BT, etc music or video files seem to be allowed to be sent through the AUX out port. And I'm only allowed to use navigation app while DVD is played on rear monitors... No radio, no USB, SD, etc video or audio files.
My previous unit is a WinCE supporting really well all this functions, but unfortunately due to a battery power loss, it only starts in recovery mode (expecting to load some firmware from SD card), and I cannot find any FW valid for it. And this pure Android is unable to do it, so I'm investigating to come up with a solution (it's the main reason I bought the pure Android unit).
Anyone knows any option? I think this could be done via software, but maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks in advance, it's really appreciated.

you'll need a 3.5mm/2.5mm male to 2 RCA cable,connect this cable to your MP3 or someting and the AUX IN L and AUX IN R cables ,open the AV IN app on the head unit,then you can listen to the music through your head unit

So, you cannot play music from a friend's phone and use tomtom (or any app) in the meantime?
There is any possibility to have AUX-IN audio and any navigation app in the meantime?
Thank you,

You just bought the wrong device.
Nearly all units with DVD support only video/audio from this drive, nothing else.
All units without integrated DVD can play anything from anywhere, even from any USB-DVD.
From my understanding this cannot be changed...
May be possible by deactivating the DVD by pulling out the connection to the main board.... I don´t know, needs to be tested.

Where do you read that out of his posting? You always can send the AUX player to the background and can use navigation.
By the way... for what reason did you activate the donate button? Did you create any helpful software to ask for donation?
MY unit has AUX in but no AUX in app. Does anyone have the APK or one they recommend? MCTB running android 10.
How do I delete this I accidentally posted in wrong thread.

Ah, someone said it was. What is it?
I don't know if this applies to all firmware, but on some firmware, you either see the AUX or the Front Camera app icon. In the settings, when the front camera is activated, the AUX program icon changes to a front camera. If you deactivate the front camera then the AUX icon appears and I believe the sound source input is also made active in addition to the camera. On mine, the option is under Factory Settings and is named "Front View" on can be toggled on or off.
I have a TEyes SPro 4/64 which is an s9853i FYT unit. You should check the connection diagram for your head unit to see which pins/connectors are for AUX video and audio.

Interesting so I can't use my dash cam and AUX?
Not sure. Try it and see what happens. Maybe your unit is different.
If both your dash cam and AUX use the same inputs, then I would guess that it's not possible.
Best to try and maybe follow-up with your vendor/seller/manufacturer.
I have a similar problem. I m trying to install an reverse camera. I have connected the orange "reversing" wire but when I am in reverse I get a "no signal error". What's the difference between video in and cam in connectors. Do you know what the pin out of this connector is because the rca female cables are not installed and I m trying all possible combinations in order to connect the video in and grnd cables from the male rca. Thanks
Hello,
I have been searching a while now on various forums. I have a generic Android stereo for my car. It has multiple RCA in connections. Right now I have my backup camera plugged into one, my front bumper cam plugged into another. Then the last is an AV in which I have nothing connected to at the moment. The unit comes with software that allows me to pull up and watch any of my video IN sources. I was wondering if someone might know of a possibility of an app or some other means to record one or more of the inputs. I would like to use my front bumper cam as sort of a dash cam. It has a perfect field of view and would suit perfectly as a dash cam. Having the ability to record any of the inputs would be an awesome feature. Right now it only seems to detect USB camera inputs for some dash recorder apps I have found on the market. Of course I would be looking for something that has the ability to record from composite/RCA/CVBS in the background. I am currently working trying to convert the composite signal to USB using a converter of sorts. I was just hoping someone here might be able to help with a possibility I have not thought of. Any help would be appreciated. I thank you for any response in advance.
On mine it has a car record app..I'll try finding the apk for you
Much appreciated. Mine too came with some apps. None of them worked correctly. Then after a factory reset, I can no longer even install them.
Hi All,
I'm about to attempt to upgrade my Harley RoadGlide's radio.
REEAALLLY like the fact that it will be a all-in-one solution (GPS/Radio etc)
Here is the plan:
Joying 8.8" 4gb /32gb Android 8 unit
Adaptor for 1 DIN radio ( Harley factory is a off the wall size more like a 1-1/2 DIN )
Module to retain handlebar controls (Works like a steering one)
Marine amp (with the remote power on a manual switch so I can shut the speakers off)
Bluetooth transmitter to send music to headset if needed
Before anybody points out the obvious, yes I know the unit is not marine grade..
This leads me the my first question:
How much heat does the display generate?
I was thinking on taking the bezel off, wrapping the whole back in vinyl up and over the edge of the glass and then putting the bezel back on. This would seal the display part since there is not reset/mic/pwr holes in the glass..
Mating the display with the body will be thru a custom device with seals to prevent water getting in at the connectors.
As for the "main" body it is pretty much protected being in the fairing. I will need a heatsink/fan but I think it will be ok.
Now on the operational question:
Can a bluetooth headset be connected directly to the unit? (For listening to music)
Any tips/advice?
Anybody ever done this?
Thanks !
Ok.. just ordered the 8.8" single din 4gb model.
Was 25% off. Black Friday sale. What can go wrong ??
Good thing about that model is that it is solid glass.. no reset/mic holes.. should make it easier to weatherproof.
The fun will begin when the unit gets here.
Lots of config/testing to do before I shoehorn that puppy in the bike.
I'll post pics if people are interested.
Been testing a couple of GPS apps on my tablet right now ahead of the integration and so far Sygic and Osmand are the best I found. Following a preplanned route is a must( ie to not deviate from the plan) , so if anybody has insight please point me in the right direction ?
Patiently awaiting the arrival of the unit...
The beast is here!!
Just received my unit ?
Got to say it is very well packaged
Will setup and start the testing soon.
Stoked!!!!!
Update/ Questions
Hi All,
Well.. the testing is going well.
So far i am able to get all my music audio to the Bluetooth headset by using a transmitter connected to the RCA output.
I had to use an external USB power for the dongle because the transmitter is "recognized" as a USB keyboard by Joying
I am using the soft button on the unit to turn the amp on/off when I want to use the headset.
I am able to use ZLink as well to connect the phone to the unit.
To have the headset capability for phone, I need to have the headset paired with the headset first.
Then I connect the phone to the unit using ZLink/Android Auto on 1 USB input
I can use the radio's display to control the phone and make calls.
All audio/mic is done by the headset. Yeah!
Only 1 problem.. The Joying keeps on wanting to connect Bluetooth to the phone.. Pops a request every so often..
Any way of turning this off? Only happens when Zlink is active...
If I connect the radio to the phone, it kicks the headset off...
Any way to disable Bluetooth entirely on the unit?
Unit is now rooted and I have installed JET.
Waiting for my handlebar controls converter in order to test "steering" functions.
Cheers!

Can't you do that from the settings? Simply switch off Bluetooth?
Or is that when Joying keeps nagging to switch on Bluetooth? ("wanting to connect" can mean to connect because BT is active, or first wanting to switch it on and then connect)
I tried..
The Zlink app automatically turns bluetooth on I believe.
The bluetooth is off in my Joying settings.
It only happens when the Zlink window is "active"
So when I first connect I press cancel on my phone when the request comes in.
All good until I minimize the windows then re-activate it. Then another request comes in from the Joying unit...
I tried to disable the bluetooth in the app settings and Zlink refuses to open.
There is no "access to bluetooth" in the Zlink app settings..
Really more of an annoyance then anything else as I can just cancel the request...
Would really be nice to have some decent bluetooth settings on the unit to be able to connect any devices or change settings.
Or have some ZLink settings to not start bluetooth on demand since it's already been taken care of by the headset...
Thanks for the suggestion
Cheers,
Problem solved! Android Auto using headset instead of Radio for audio
Hi have solved the problem of Bluetooth wanting to connect all the time.
Solution: First time the popup comes in on the phone when connecting USB to the radio (I used Headunit Reloaded but ZLink should be the same), accept and enter proper password (0000)
Once connected, on the phone Bluetooth settings change Joying Radio to No Phone, No Media.
The next time it will not ask to connect and won't kick out the other Bluetooth (Headset)
Android Auto has to be in developers mode to not care which Bluetooth it is using:
To enable it, open the Android Auto app on your phone and choose About from the left menu. Tap the About Android Auto header text about 10 times and you'll see a prompt to enable developer options. Accept it, then hit the three-dot Menu button and choose Developer settings-> Application mode "Developer"
On to the next challenge!
Cheers!
This sounds interesting. Any pics on the install?
Yes pics please, what are doing are weather proofing the head unit or are you a fair weather rider
Here's an initial review for the Ownice K1 (2gb ram/ 16gb Rom android 8 version) and from what I can tell, the first one to appear in English.
Background: This is Ownice's new budget model. No built in 4G support, no DVD slot, 4 core processor, slightly lower internal components (Amplifier, Tuner), TFT screen.
I ordered it on the 11.11 sale for about $200 with DHL shipping and added another 9$ for an external Mic. I ordered the version customized for Ford Mondeo/Galaxy/ S-Max.
Also ordered from other vendors: Ownice TPMS system (has not arrived) , Huawei E8372 4G wingle (arrived shortly after the K1 was installed), and reverse camera that replaces license plate light
Ownice shipped it three days later and it arrived in LA four days after that. From there it was brought to Israel by my kind brother.
Initial Impressions: came well packaged with protective film on the screen. Construction seems good. This is a slim unit and nearly all the connectors are breakouts from proprietary pin-outs on the back.
Installation:
Installation into a 2013-14 S-Max was quite easy as it simply uses the same mounting holes as the OEM unit, and the included connector is wired for the Ford quadlock harness. That said, it included no documentation whatsoever.
1) Connect three rear break-out connections to the back (Quadlock harness, A/V in/out cables, External mic input) and plug the included canbus decoder into the harness
1a) Notice that on harness wiring there is a wire that has a locking connector in the middle that comes disconnected. Assume this is for the reverse camera and connect it
2) Connect quadlock, revers camera RCA. External Mic, GPS antenna, and radio antenna
2a) Notice that they did not include a correct antenna adapter, run to local car audio guy and overpay for an adapter
3) (Spend next six hours wiring in a reverse camera through hatchback (not so easy!)
4) Shove all the wiring behind the unit (plenty of room there) and screw it in, replace trim, voila.
Future items:
5*) 4G wingle arrived a day later so I have only used it with the K1 in hotspot mode, which works fine. I have not gotten around to attaching it directly via USB
6*)TPMS system ordered from DX.com has not arrived yet.
In Use: In the realm of chinese android head units it is no faint praise to say that a unit simply works as one would expect it to, and this unit really does just work 99% as it should. I'll only point out some highlights and a few small disappointments:
+Unit powers on as soon as key is in ignition, stays on after car is shut down until door is opened (just like OEM)
+The reverse camera comes on BEFORE the unit is fully booted (right after the splash screen) so no significant delay there (this was a very pleasant surprise)
+No need to attach extra reverse wiring from reverse camera to car wiring, reverse is already wired via quad-lock
+Steering wheel controls work as they did with OEM unit (but mode button cycles through all inputs, even if they are not installed)
+My existing BAFX bluetooth OBD2 connected fine and works with the included version of torque
+Sound quality with OEM speakers is fine, at least on par with OEM head unit (despite what I've read about ST TDA7388)
+External mic is sensitive enough to work installed in hidden OEM mic location (grill behind map light)
+GPS reception/accuracy is better than my phone's
+Screen splitting works, and is useful
+Push the right knob in and the screen goes blank
-Radio tuner is not as good as the oem unit (I expected this)
-Bluetooth popup to answer calls does not appear for whatsapp calls
-Touchscreen could be a tad more sensitive
-built in media player does not seem to support WMA (thanks to yahoo music (RIP) I have a lot of WMAs) so I mostly use VLC
-No printed manual, onboard manual app does not work, and I can't find any manual online, so it took some futzing and going through the C500 manual to figure a few things out.
That's about it. I don't spend that much time driving these days so haven't gotten around to exploring all the settings and features, but so far I'm quite satisfied.
I appreciate the review; some follow-up questions...
Please tell me if steering wheel controls (up/down track) work on all music apps or just the stock one. Also let me know if you hear any background clicks/pops/noise when WiFi is being accessed. How is the Bluetooth calling quality - can callers hear you ok? Finally can the stock radio and Bluetooth apps be used split screen?
Thanks!

1) Steering wheel controls work with all aps.
2) Haven't heard any noises caused by wifi
3) Bluetooth call quality is good, definitely go with the external mic
4) Yes, those apps and most others work in split screen.

Thanks for the answers. One more question, sorry. Does Ok Google work, and/or can you use Google to initiate a call just using voice or microphone button plus voice? Many units "understand" the request to call but fail to be able to put through the call.
Thanks again!

Sorry for the delay in replying.
As far as OK google calls, since the head unit's Bluetooth functionality works as a microphone/speaker, when you run a google now command on the HU, it thinks you want to make a call using the HU, but it has no phone function of it's own, so it cannot place the call. What would be needed is a button on the HU that activates the phone's google now listening. I don't keep my phone in constant listening mode, so not sure how it would work in that situation. Hope that helps.
Here's a few more observations, not entirely good:
1) The steering wheel next and previous track buttons are reversed.
2) There is a problem resuming Bluetooth streaming from my phone. If you push the play button on the HU Bluetooth app after a restart it will freeze and force a reboot.
3) GPS reception is generally excellent with very quick fix, but occasionally for no apparent reason upon startup it will take 5 or so minutes.
4) Even disabling all of automatic time setting, the unit will inexplicably get an hour ahead when booted and then correct a few minutes later.
5) I can't figure out if there is a way to get the Huawei 4G USB router I bought to function as a modem or only as a hotspot.
Hi Doncres,
I've just finished installing my own Ownice K1/G10 unit for my Hyundai Santa Fe.
Installation was a little bit trickier since in order to use the car's original gps antenna, microphone and rear camera I had to cut some wires and change connectors, as well as installing a stepdown DC-DC converter to get the weird 6.5v power required by the original rear camera.
I've been playing a little bit myself with the unit and, given that I'm quite satisfied with it, I would like to know whether you experienced any of the following little annoying problems:
- handsfree call via bluetooth: remote party is always complaining about a small amount of echo
- general audio volume low even at maximum volume (+30), especially for bluetooth phone calls
- the bluetooth active call popup rectangle gets always in the way, even when the rear camera is triggered by the reverse gear, giving some troubles when parking the car and talking to the phone
- Netflix app not working: I had to install an old 2015 version targeting Android 4.4
- parking assistant lines on the rear camera view have wrong perspective angle in comparison to my camera's viewing angle, thus resulting in a projected trapezium rather than a projected rectangle (i.e. the lines are not parallel to actual parking lines); I know I can disable them, however I'd like to change their perspective angle to match the camera
I read somewhere that there are two hidden service menus on Ownice units: the first is accessible via car settings (the "1260" menu) and this works on my unit
The other should be accessible by dialling a specific string in the phone app, however it seems I cannot start the phone app since the K1/G10 comes with no 3G/4G hardware. Any idea on how to enter such menu?
Thanks,
Alberto

Hi, I'm not sure I can really help other than to confirm a few of the the issues.
-Don't think I have an echo issue, but there seems to be a delay until a caller first hears me.
- I get very good volume. I would assume this is an issue of whether the built in amp is a good match for the speakers. Could be an issue with the impedance.
-Yeah, the call button overlay is sometimes annoying, it can block nav screen as well and no way to hide
-I noticed that Netflix was no showing in the app store, but not a big use for me
-the camera I bought has built in guidelines so I disabled them.
-no idea bout the service menu
The only issues that really bother me are:
-the occasional GPS not acquiring satellites, which I now think may be from a defective antenna. I ordered a replacement and we'll see if that helps.
-the fact that if I have an app like stitcher playing, i then get in the car and it stops it when it connects to the BT, but when I go to the BT music app it will either resume fine or if I pres play it will crash the entire device and force a reboot. Mostly I just run streaming apps on the Unit so not much BT streaming anyway.
Also, my TPMS unit finally showed up 2 months after ordering it from DX.com. Looking forward to installing that some time in the next couple of weeks.
Hi.
I am newbie, and i may be wrong in posting the question.
I got 2 din touch Android for Nissan Murano 2018 - model K1, 2 / 16 GB. Ownice 8227L.
On the manufacturer's website, the model has not been supported by software updates for a long time.
Last owner tried to update it with different firmware versions, including those downloaded from this site, and from 4pda. initially did not save the software that was on it from the factory. Now - it has a version of Android installed in which the radio does not work. Everything works, sound files from usb card play, except the radio.
Help me please, where can I get the firmware on it to make the radio work?
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.

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.
