Noob in Android Head unit. Need advice in a few things. - Android Head-Units

Hi, just got an allwinner based head unit and currently I am having issue with a few things.
1. Bluetooth audio isn't playing on boot i need to manually select Bluetooth music for that. Am i not setting it up properly or am I stuck this way?
2. If I'm stuck that way, is there any app that will help with it?
3. If I'm stuck, is there a way to tether my phone without hotspot (over Bluetooth or something) so I can use YT music on the head unit directly?
4. What is the best launcher app for the head unit that you have tried?

No one knows what that unit is post details

Eonon GA6150 BlueTooth question

Hello xda people!
I recently purchased an eonon head unit for my E46 316i from ebay. Specifically a GA6150 (rk3188), which was sold together with a reverse camera.
I am really happy with my order, and pleased with the HU's performance. I managed to connect succesfully my OBD adapter, my bluetooth phone and my wifi hotspot and all is working great.!
Although, I found out something which bothers me. I have purchased a Bluetooth RGB LED controller from ebay, in order to DIY install some LEDs in the interior of the car, and I wanted to control them from my eonon android HU. I can control them through my S7 Edge Android phone via the app called Happy Lighting. I have found out that the manufacturer of these controllers is called Triones. So my problem is, that when I open the app, it asks me to turn on the bluetooth, and allows me to press one of two buttons, allow and deny. If I press allow, a message will appear saying: "Turning on Bluetooth" or something like that, with a spinning wheel, indefinately. It will not stop and it will stay like this all the time, making the app useless, making me press home button to exit. All this happens, even though I know that bluetooth is actually on (I havent yet found an on/off switch for Bluetooth, so I suppose it is always on). If I press deny, then I can enter the app, but I am not able to see any of the bluetooth controllers, is there any way, to make the app think that the bluetooth is on? Or actually turn it off or anything? Would you please help me figure out what should I do? And one last question, is how can I change my screen orientation from landscape to portrait?
I will attach a photo of the details for the version of my Head Unit.
This is the link of the HU I purchased from ebay: http://r.ebay.com/aegMSa
And this is the link to the controller: http://r.ebay.com/aDfflI
While this is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qh.Happylightgoogle&hl=en
Thank you very mych for your time!
Yep had 3 Paypal disputes with Eonon about that issue a year ago on a MTCB unit, I would imagine it would be the same with the MTCD
I think they route all Bluetooth information through the MCU and use non standard configuration of their Bluetooth drivers. So applications that ask to turn the BT on cannot as it is not configured that way.
This is something they were not willing to fix or were unable to.

First of all thank you for your reply, i really appreciate it.!
Second, damn it. Damn them! That is really frustrating, i've managed to find a bit more info digging around here and in russian forums. It's sad that i cannot use anything else via bluetooth other than a few OBD adapters and my phone..
I will shortly contact Eonon for my MCU update file and see if anything can be done there. Otherwise, i will see if anything can be fixed via a custom rom and xposed stuff.
P.S.: If there was any other android HU that could support full BT, i would gladly return my Eonon and buy that instead..

Joying intel Sofia units is a bit better with the BT, but do some research first.
Good luck with Eonon
From memory it to do with kernel drivers and BT stack and they would not fix
Also be careful with Eonon and returns, additionally PayPal protection does not cover car audio products.

Digging up an old thread
I would like to connect bluetooth accessories to my eonon new android 10 head unit (2020) - the above looks familiar as i cannot seem to 'find' the devices when searched for using the strange bluetooth 'app'.
Is there anything that can be done? I'd like to add a bluetooth remote (alternatiev to steering wheel controls) - but its not detected by the HU

I CAN'T change the wallpaper of my Seicane car radio...

Hello everyone, i buy this radio and I have several doubts, the first is that it cant change the wallpaper, it puts me action not allowed, does anyone know how I can solve this? only let me put 7 predetermined wallpapers, and there is no option to put a custom, my second doubt is that this radio supposedly brings bluetooth but there is no option to search for devices, just let me connect from the mobile to listen to music, there is some solution? I wanted to know finally if i can root and put a newer android or if I exist an update for this model, I have not found anything in the forum, thank you very much! This is the radio model that I have.

Hello everyone. I received an updated Firmware directly from seicane for their head unit. This is Android 10 update for the 2/32 GB unit. Everything seems to be working great so far on unit. If you would like to try it for yourself please feel free to download and install. I'm not too tech savvy so if you have any questions I'll answer them the best I can. Thought I would share for anyone to update their own unit if possible
PLEASE BE ADVISED YOU USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I will not be held responsible for any damages done to your own unit.
Thank you!

Using an Android phone with a Android head unit

Hi everyone, i am considering getting an android head unit for my vehicle, was wondering what's the best way to connect my android phone (galaxy s7) with it? Screen mirroring? Android auto host?
Curious, how does most people use their android head units? Just directly from it?
Question, what is the point in getting an Android Head Unit just to screen mirror your android phone to it? I share my internet from my phone to my head unit.

My Joying has an app called Easy Connect on it that allows screen mirroring through USB. The Android Auto app does a pretty good job of showing my text messages and probably works with Whatsapp too. You could also probably just download Whatsapp directly on the head unit itself.

witson radio recovery?

Hi i recently purchased a witson head unit.
I know its not "witson" it is just the store i got it from.
So i need to at least factory reset this unit, and i cannot reset it via android settings so recovery is my only option?
The main reason i am witing this thread is i am having trouble even finding the proper model number etc.
To witson it is a witson k6xxx model with 2 gb ram qc cpu etc but it is a custom radio with the dash facia built in with the oem looking buttons etc and i have tried the common button combos i have found here on xda.
Any ideas are appreciated
Do you have the link where you bought the unit?
or pictures of the unit?

I got it from witson, there just a reseller, i will include a picture, it will be hard to figure out the radio model as it has a custom facia built onto it.
If there is any info in the settings that would help i can post that as well, only thing i was able to figure out is the passcode which was not the same as in the on screen manual
So perhaps somebody could help with the problem i am having as well!
When the unit auto connects to my phone, then i try to play music the unit locks up and then reboots. If i disconnect bt then reconnect it usually works fine

Here is a pic of about system in car infotainment settings
Due to lack of response... I have purchased a new radio and i am closing this thread
Thank you for your response

Take a look here : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=973677
I use Google translate, but I am not brave enough to flash any of the ROMs from there.
I have the same unit I'm my Camry.
I have the same one, bricked it flashing boot.img patched by magisk. Supposedly magisk patched boot.img has to be flashed into 'recovery partition', not 'boot' partition. I have made more or less full backup of the unit but do not know how to enter recovery mode using buttons or shorting wires.
Regards
I have a Hizpo Android10 head unit with the same MCU version (I think, first letters are same: S32F0). Also interested in if there are updates available and how the h**l you can acivate recovery mode with button presses.

Just wondering if there is a way to root this device is all

Hoping as time passes more will get these HU's and eventually root and cook a ROM for them.
Mine has a number of issues,
1) The OEM reverse camera only works for 3 seconds when selecting reverse then it switches off
2) The basic DSP works but the more advanced DSP doesn't
3) GPS is very inaccurate
4) No RDS
5) Volume and radio channels change by themselves
6) Car settings don't work
7) Open doors indicator is switched around, left door open shows right door on HU.

Are you sure you have the same unit?
Because:
1) My reverse camera works,
2) DSP Works
3) Gps never give me problem, error of 3 meters is normal
4) RDS works perfectly
5)Never happen to me
6) car setting works, i changed SW and other settings
7) I didnt have that functions (in my car) so i cannot test

I have a RK3368 RockChip PX5 head unit with MCU S32F0 processor, I have no idea what one you have or if it's the same.
What I listed are the problems with mine, why I don't know, but as there's not much other recourse hopefully a ROM update might fix things with mine.

Thanks, I had seen that but the first post says (translated):
"There is essentially no information about it, there are no modified firmware either., The firmware in the header was sent by the seller and was not checked for operability, it is up to you to sew or not.
There were no known attempts to get root on the device."
so it doesn't seem much has been done

The gps works well.
No GPS navigator in the rom.
Torque OBD included
WeTransfer

Installation:
Copy the zip file to a USB stick or SD card formatted in FAT32
Put in the radio on, press RESET
The installation is done at restart, duration 10mns, remove the key or the SD when installation finished and green screen displayed.

I have an really odd problem with my HU, the reverse camera view goes off as soon as one starts moving and comes back on when stopped again. I fixed most of the other issues I had but this one still persists.
It's an Android 9 HU in a Ford Ranger PXII/T6.
Any ideas?
I had the same issue it turn out the video cable going from the headunit to the camera was bad

I have a Hizpo Android "10" Headunit (Advertising claims Android 10, but the unit actually runs Android 9). This model is specifically designed for BMW E90 Series cars, but I'm sure the chipset and software is the same across their devices. (Part: AD8CHKSOI2I08772)
Specs are the Cortex A53 Octa-core and 4GB Samsung DDR3.
Here is the Build number information from inside Android settings:
ANDROID: 213328
MCU: S32F0_XinRC-18_20199820_HA1_6686_D_FF_C8
APP: PX5_C54_HA1_XRC_EN2019-09-02-2008
The password for the factory settings on my unit is "0000".
Inside here there are a couple useful features such as:
1. Mute Radio on system startup
2. Reverse Doors for Car Overlay Feature
3. Change Boot Splash Screen
I am hoping to root this device so I can hide the Android navigation bar and convert over to gesture controls only, enable USB data tethering with my iPhone, and disable some system services/apps as the device can be laggy at times, unacceptable behavior with 8 cores and 4GB RAM, especially in mid 2020!
But overall I am happy with the device.
Bought my new head unit for Jeep Grand Cherokee from Erisin.
It is the new model ES8176J, PX5 Octa Core with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM.
I was supposing that it was a MTCx but it seems that the MCU is the S32F0 one.
Do you know where I can find updates, modded ROM, root, etc?
I have a Zltoopai unit for a BMW e82. Think pretty much the same as jahjah440.
ANDROID: 145358
MCU: S32F0_XinRC-18_20200527_HD1_7708_D_FF_DSP_C8
APP: PX5_C54_HA1_Xrc2_EN2020-06-05-1728
I'm running it with a Carlinkit carplay dongle which works great. It just doesn't allow me to run radio in the background. I'd like to be able to set the carlinkit app as navigation app so it won't mute the radio. I can't do that now.
Want to get rid of the stock launcher because the unit keeps asking me to chose between that and Agama...
If it can do that it's perfect. Now it's pretty good.
