Hello. I have a Logitech G920 wheel, and I wanted to use it on the Nintendo Switch (both Sysnand and Emunand).
Currently, if I connect it, the Switch recognizes it as a parallel control, it doesn't allow editing commands, and the directional pad goes a little crazy (and it normalizes when I calibrate the buttons). But when I enter the games, the steering wheel doesn't work and the buttons are miscalibrated again. I wanted to know if there is some configuration or sys-con fork that allows using steering wheels on Switch.
Hello everybody!
I came here to ask about the possibility of connecting a Logitech G920 steering wheel to the Switch. I wanted to share a few things I discovered:
- By the sys-con module, the steering wheel is recognized as an XBox One control. The buttons worked normally, but it acted like it was pressing down on the directional pad the entire time, and the steering wheel movement itself didn't work.
- In the sys-con settings, I found a file named config_xboxone.ini, and inside it I reset the dead zone values of the analog sticks. Now the steering wheel works like a Pro-controller, but without the movement of the steering wheel yet.
- What's next: The sys-con configuration files use values to map the Switch's control buttons. For example, FACE_UP is the value for the X button. What I would need to know is what value I could use to identify the steering wheel movement command. Does anyone know how I can figure this out without going through the trial and error of countless codes?

I would like to make my mode button on my Titan's Steering Wheel to open the Voice Control app on my Joying head unit. Anybody figure out how to do stuff like this?
Hi there
I installed a JY-VM131N2 in my 2014 VW Passat. The Steering Wheel is working (out of the stock).
I'd like to change the mapping of the buttons, but all of them shows Parameter 255. Video is attached under the link:

Can you help me to change the mapping?
Answer from Joying:
Nice day
I am sorry can not support to remap the steering wheel control buttons
Hope you can understand
Can anybody help?

You have a CAN decoder (a little box attached to the harness) that is programmed with a certain steering wheels keys mapping and you can't change that.
Your best chance is to wire the steering wheels buttons directly and bypass the CAN decoder, but it works ONLY IF the steering wheel buttons are the resistive type.
If you don't have the experience please don't try to mess with the wires... things can go wrong with the headunit or the car.
My nexus 7 install is showing it's age so I'm looking into the newer 4gb units that are starting to show up. I used a joycon to connect my steering wheel controls to my tablet via usb and was able to use a keyboard remapper and tasker to get some really custom buttons. The newer joycon (http://www.rcjoycon.com/cpjexc/)also has Can-bus and rotary encoder support so I could potentially add a physical volume knob or fit my car with an idrive knob for even more control.
The Joycon registers as a keyboard but I was able to keep the on screen keyboard too in android 6. Does anyone know if a joycon works with most android headunits?
Thanks!
"Joycon" didn't turn up anything in search and the next closest thread was this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...idrive-style-controller-android-head-t3697530
I have a Seicane (Chinese-made) head unit with no hardware buttons. It has 2 USB ports that I can use to connect hardware to it. I'm looking for a keyboard/keypad that I can either attach through USB, or connect through Bluetooth to the phone. They already sell round "media" remote controls that connect to the phone through bluetooth. I don't need that because I get media controls already using the steering wheel controls.
I want to be able to navigate android auto without having to touch the screen, so ideally I would like a "d-pad" (up, down, left, right) that connects through USB.
I've looked, and the closest thing I find is a numeric keyboard, it's full size, so fixing it somewhere in the car could be difficult.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Update: 10th Feb 2021
Got the zbox2 working with all my steering wheel controls including voice button mapped to siri.
Basically i decompiled the apk and intercept certain key-codes and changed them to the key-code zbox2 needs to trigger Siri.
Basic Steps:
1) Decompile with apktool / jadx-gui
2) Change mainActivity methods onKeyDown & onKeyUp so if keycode 86 is pressed it's substituted for keycode 1500.
When i get time i'm going to try and map the mode steering wheel button to cycle through maps, nowplaying etc which should be possible.
Context First:
i've got a px6 unit running android 9 with a canbus decoder in my mk2 audi tt.
The unit came without carplay and i've used various carplay dongles over the years and had a wireless carlinkit dongle from a previous car so decided to use that.
However using the autokit app for the carlinkit dongle i've always had audio delays on phone calls of around 2 seconds so you end up talking over each other. this is both with my current and previous head units. The dongle firmware and software is up to date using the built in updater.
Autokit works great i even managed to map all steering wheel buttons inc siri for use in Autokit its just the audio delay problem.
In regards to trying to solve my audio delay problem i bought a zbox z2 wireless carplay dongle which uses the zbox app http://www.zjinnova.com/article-34185-44239.html and the audio delay is almost not noticable basically at the level of a normal carkit.
The problem is that all the steering wheel controls work out of the box apart from siri as the zbox app has no facility to remap keys like in the autokit app (see bottom of post). Zbox only recognises the standard android media keys.
In summary i need some help?
Q: Anyone had audio delay issues on carlinkit for phone call and found a solution?
(my carlinkit dongle is from when they first released them a few years ago, i did think a newer hardware revision might help).
Q: Anyone with a zbox 2 manage to get steering wheel controls working for Siri?
Zbox 2 what ive tried so far:
Decompiled zbox 2 apk to find that it does listen to a few custom keycode events
1500 - open siri
1504 - open map
1505 - open phone
1507 - open now playing
Issued keycode event over adb while zbox is open and siri does activate.
adb shell input keyevent 1500
using tasker and autoinput together to try and grab the key that is mapped to the voice button (stop button see autokit belor for why). unsuccessful - the key doesnt get grabbed by tasker.
used tasker and media button state of stop key to then issue a shell command to send keyevent - unsucessful the key does get grabbed and issues the command but siri does not activate in the zbox app. maybe becuase i'm not root ?
next steps:
Asking for help on here?
Look at modifiying mtcd tools to send custom keyevent for siri as this does recognise the steering wheel keys being pressed but is currently limited to only send keyevents for android media keycodes.
How to map steering wheel keys in Autokit for Siri:
in wheelkeystudy app set steering wheel voice command button to stop button, needs to be these as then autokit can recongnise it.
in autokit goto advanced settings and go into key learning and the voice command button will be able to be mapped.

I'm curious about the autokit app Siri mapping. I'm using a Yulu 9853i Android head unit, so a little different. I'm having a hard time getting Siri to work with SWC voice button. The built in wireless Zlink works with SWC voice button, but zlink doesn't like to start everytime. So I am trying a USB dongle that has Autokit. Which I was trying to figure out if I touch the siri button on head unit, then activate the SWC button twice like it says etc. But nothing happens. I had a feeling the button is being reserved by another app or the head unit voice software. Sounds like you figured that out? Did auto kit recognize it right away after setting to stop button? Or have to reinstall Autokit app? I don't think I have a stop button on my F150 steering wheel. TIA!

i didnt need to reinstall autokit theres a possibility your head unit maps swc buttons in android differently then mine. although if you have sucessfully mapped the stop button to your steering wheel controls if you go into any music player app and music is playing it should stop the music.
all i did was as stated below:
