Need better volume controls for MTCH head unit - Android Head-Units

Bought a '09 Porsche Cayman S. Had the crappy factory PCM 3.0 nav head unit; I decided to upgrade to a factory look Android unit. Requirements were wireless Android Auto and front/rear camera inputs. I went to the highest-end unit available, the Android 12 Xtrons unit:
https://xtrons.com/porsche-qualcomm...ram-128gb-rom-integrated-4g-solution-iq82cmpl
Problem: It is all touch screen. Volume literally takes three presses to adjust - absolutely awful. Problem 2 is my car doesn't have steering wheel controls. The upgrade to steering wheel controls (without downgrading to a crappy steering wheel at least) is $2500.
I haven't found any software fixes that will work. Are there any tiny remotes (knob or button) out there that would work that I could hide. The idea was for this to look stock - if not, I'll return it and go with a Kenwood, Pioneer, etc. that has physical buttons.
MCU: MTCH-GS-V3.89a_3
API: 31 (so is Android 12)
RAM: 6GB
CPU: 8-core Qualcomm QC6125

Anyone?

No for a couple of reasons. One - the Cayman doesn't have cup holders there (they pop out of the dash). There isn't a place in the car where that big thing would work. Plus, I want a stock-looking option.

ANDREAM Allwinner T8 - 2GB RAM 32GB ROM - Steering Wheel Control & CarPlay

Hi everyone !
I've been browsing the web for the last 4 month to solve my issues with this Andream Head Unit on Android 8.1.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And I didn't find anything that could help me, so here is my two problems:
First one,
When I use the Z-Link app with the integrated Apple CarPlay solution, it may freeze sometimes and I have to wait until the application unfreeze.
It may happen when I drive with Waze or when I'm on the track screen. So basically, when something is moving on the screen.
I've asked for an update of this app but it seems that the guy at Andream wait till I forget the problem to answer me...
I thought it was a heat issue, but I've put a fan and a few heat sink on the cpu, now he stay between 40 and 70 degree Celsius.
Second One,
The steering wheel control doesn't work at all. I've got an Audi TT mk2 2010, and when I purchased the Head Unit, the guy sent me a BMW can bus decoder. Then after I tell him that I have an Audi, he sent me an Audi can bus decoder. So I manage the cable to have the Audi decoder working because it wasn't the same pins connector. Now, the head unit detect when I light on the car headlight, but when I go to the steering wheel control app, I can't register more than one control and when I test it, nothing happen...
So I'm wondering if I'll purchase or not the new Sony XAV-AX100. But I just wanted this thing to work ! :crying:
I hope you could bring me some help ! Best regards !

I got a new Head unit, I need a lot of help, please

Hi, guys I'm new at this, so bear with me, I got a new android 10 unit from AliExpress, https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLwdGdk, the t7 with 4gb 64gb storage. I got here and checked and it's fine, same specs. My car is a Peugeot 508 2013.
Everything is working according to the specs, but the canbus setting are very different from what I've seen in other units alike this one. The seller has been trying to help me, but is hard due the language barrier and the time difference, 12 hours. I have the code for the factory settings. 3368, dunno if that is helpful.
First I can't seem to find how to put the front camera after reverse with the lines, I tried one option and swaps, but stays on it doesn't automatically turns off. Also there is no option to change the resolution of the camera in the radio.
I saw another video and that unit got messages from the car into the unit.
That's a canbus problem, if it is can I buy another one? Or can it be upgraded without bricking it. Is a launcher issue?, I'm lost.
Also is it safe to install any other launcher via the playstore?
Any tips are really appreciate it.
Thanks
This is the canbus I got installed with the car.

Here are the pics, according to the seller it cannot be used like that, if I change the canbus for another model of canbus that supports my 508? will the menu change of the canbus? or it has to be the software? Can I install for example the junsun or joying? That has the same CPU?

Android Head Unit T5 - Fiat 500x

Hello, I hope this is a good place for the topic I am opening. To get started, I need your advice on how to set up my new T5 head unit properly.
I bought this device online and according to the specification it should have 4 GB / 32 GB of memory. It turned out that the device was modified to show that it has 4 GB but actually only 2 GB and instead of Android 11 the device is actually Android 10. Quite a common scam committed by sellers from China. To cut a long story short, after a dispute with the seller, half of the amount was returned to me. My car is a Fiat 500x and originally the device was set up to use the CANBUS protocol for the FAIT Doblo car. There was no FIAT 500x on the list. Some car settings were not available to me with this FIAT / Doblo protocol so I found it to be a much better option if I use the JEEP - Renegade CANBUS protocol. With this new protocol, some previously disabled car adjustment options are now enabled for me, but I still miss seeing basic data on fuel consumption, mileage, etc ... The Air conditioning settings do NOT work either with this JEEP protocol.
Did any of you have experience with setting up a Fiat 500x car and do you know how to update the device so that in the end I have the original FAIT protocol for 500x.
Thank you all in advance.

Install ATOTO S8 Premium in 2015 Toyota Sienna

Finished the 10 inch head unit install. The ATOTO S8 just fits in the sienna, I ordered a 7 inch one but after it arrived I found that a 10 inch will also fit, so I returned the 7 inch one and ordered the 10 inch. I was able to maintain steering wheel buttons and the JBL sub without cutting a single wire. Really happy-it looks amazing!
Edit:here are the things I needed:
10 inch Head unit:https://amzn.to/39oVNkn(It sticks out, they sell a 7 inch Double DIN one too, but I had just eough room for the 10 inch)
Backup Cam:https://amzn.to/2NF3cUm
Dash Cam:https://amzn.to/3myUS5y
Crux wiring harness-I needed this to maintain JBL amplifier, you might need a different one for standard. It also does SWC but I think you can do it without this box: https://amzn.to/3BoBkHn-Warning on the Crux one: I got two of these for Amazon and both had the backup camera wired backwords, so it started to smoke when I put in reverse. I ended up not using the stock backup cam and didn’t use that part.
I think non-JBL vans can get away with this: https://amzn.to/3Gef8Dn
Antenna Adaptor for the radio:https:amzn.to/3E8PwFS

Hi
I have the following Pioneer Android based head unit:
Best Bluetooth Audio Receiver in Mauritius | Smart Unit Receiver - Pioneer
Pioneer offers Bluetooth audio receiver in Mauritius. Buy Pioneer SDA-835TAB with features like 8 Inch Car AV receiver. Click here to explore more about our product
pioneer-mea.com
The unit doesn't come with any app to configure the wheel controls - I'm using the following wheel buttons:
https://it.aliexpress.com/item/4000251467791.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2ita&spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef3696HTzWqo
connected to the head unit using:
https://automotive.paser.it/it-it/Paser/Unico-Dual-Plus-p80m11.html
The command works but some (like the navigation button) are not being used.
Can anyone advise if there is a way to remap such unused keys to any android application/function?
Thanks
anyone?

What does the seller or reputable installer suggest
Use the standard keys
bump?
Hi..sorry I've just read this post. Currently I'm using this Pioneer SDA-835TAB on my 2018 Honda HR-V. When I'm installed this HU they need an optional steering wheel remote cable to connect the stock steering switch, but the detail installation I leave it to the car audio technician.
I don't use custom steering wheel switch because I'm already have it on my steering wheel.
Hope this help you.
Also I attached a photo...
The Pioneer HU using a new Android Auto UI connect wirelessly to my Samsung S22 (Android 13 One UI 5.0) via Head Unit Reloaded emulator and it works perfectly..
