Hey guys. My partner has just purchased a second hand Hikity. I have installed it, factory reset it then connected it to my phones hot-spot to update all the apps.
The only problem we're having now is the damn thing ain't turning off when the ignition is off and I cannot find the canbus protocol for a Citroën Xsara Picasso.
I updated the firmware, everything is now in chinese and none of the google apps now work. Does anyone have the english firmware these things originally came with.
According to the information on the System Info section:
Model: F9212B
XY Auto: 7.3.7 (X2)
MCU 4.2 (X2)
CAN Pro: 9.0.2
Android 10
Posting here to see if anyone can help with these issues.

Any firmware update resets all settings and you need to set it first to your language in the settings.
Then you need to connect your unit again with the google account before using them.

When I updated the firmware, it added several chinese apps and the google apps do not work at all even after I set the language to english.

It's a second hand aftermarket stereo, bought through Facebook. He wouldn't know anything apart from installing it in to the vehicle.

Seems to be a quite special issue on your system.
May be wait for someone who is familiar with your special device.
In the mean time, you should have a look at this thread. May be you find something in there.
By the way: The not turning off issue is related to wrong installation. You need to check clamp 15 and clamp 30.
If you don´t have the right CAN-box you even won´t be able to get anything from the car.

It doesn't have a CAN-box, it does the CAN bus straight through the unit. What is clamp 15 and clamp 30?

I search the forum but nobody seems to have the stock firmware for my model of Android unit as its version is 7.3.7, I cannot downgrade it to a previous version.
Right OK. Finally got the correct firmware after many hours of using Google translate. It works to a certain degree but the physical buttons on the unit do not work at all. Any ideas on how I get them to work again.

There should be a page in the settings of the unit where you can set the physical buttons. Mostly hidden behind a special pin. You may ask in the related threads for your unit if you don´t know the pin already.
I've got in to that setting but when holding the correct buttons down, I keep getting study failed error.

I think you don´t have the right firmware for your unit then.
Then I'm stumped. I can get it in to recovery mode but with no physical unit buttons and the USB keyboard not being recognised I am unable to factory reset it completely. I'm struggling to locate the original Xyauto stock firmware it came with.
what password do you used for the factory settings?

Guys I have a AL-C0241 and I just installed Malaysk's firmware.
I stupidly did not check my MCU type before hand, thinking that I would keep the existing MCU if I only updated the image.
Everything seemed to install fine, but when I look in the about tablet section, the first few lines are blank, including the MCU
And now I am getting no sound from the radio. Everything else including the wifi and GPS seems to be working OK, but no sound is a problem.
Can anyone tell me the original MCU code of the AL-C0241 ? This is the autopumpkin 7 inch with no buttons on it, just a flat screen.
you can see my entries on the wiki, it's there

So I think mine is bricked now.
After loading Malaysk 3188/1024 firmware I no longer have:
*sound
*gps
*radio
Still working
*wifi
Any idea what I should do to try and fix it? I tried a few things with the reset button but was unable to achieve factory reset. Should I start trying some of the available MCUs?
Ask Pumpkin to send you an image file of your MCU and Firmware. I just send them an email requesting the same for my unit. I told them that I wanted to back it up and can't unless I am rooted.
Let's see what happens.

Worth a try, I will do that.
Would it be possible to get an image of the stock SD card and use that to revert to factory? perhaps nleitao can take a copy of his if he still has access to the insides of his unit?
I'm pretty annoyed with myself, hopefully I don't have to buy another!

Hello Nuno,
Thanks for your email.
We attached the user manual for the AL-C0241,please check
And about the newer firmware and mcu, once we get it, we would release it on our official support www.news.autopumpkin.com
Thanks for your patience.
Have a nice day.
Kind regards,

Just found a couple of youtube videos, from the official pumpkin channel "pumpkin car stereo support" where they show a software and MCU update for the AL-C0241 !
No download link however! Search AL-C0241 on you tube if interested.
Also checked their blog, no update there
edit: Can't test their firmware because my USBs no longer work, along with most of my hardware.
Its not looking good for me :| Maybe I can find a way to get them working on Malaysk's rom but it's a bit of a catch 22. I can get internet access on the device, however, so all hope is not lost.

Nop, it's an SD card slot
Sorry guys I have no results as yet, got a bit busy last night
I have to rig up a molex connector so I can power the device up while im inside my house, it should be as simple as connecting the yellow 12v rail and the earth to the harness, so hopefully I will be able to inform you of results before long
Thanks for the support
Fixed!
Thanks for all the help
I used the ROM posted earlier in this thread and the internal SDslot and I eventually got everything working again, I much preferred Malaysk's ROM but couldn't manage to get the MCU updated until after I did the ROM update.
I now have alex v1.1.5 however, I used to have v1.1.7, so that's kinda annoying but I can't see the difference right now anyway. I will write to auto pumpkin and try to get the latest image.
I was also not able to get it to power up using my computer power supply. I connected the 12v to the 12v and the earth to the earth but it wouldn't fire up, super annoying.
Now I am just going to enjoy using it for a while

You should had connect the red and the yellow to the 12v...
My apologies to the OP for the kind of hijack but I believe this is the thread with most info for this radio.
I'm having problems with my radio. The screen seems to have a bad contact somewhere, making it complete useless to try to work with it. The odd thing is it never happens in the first 20 minutes ater a cold start. Does someone have an idea what is happening here?

Second problem. I'm completely unable to pair the radio's Bluetooth with whatever devices. I just cant start the pairing process from the radio side.

That screen flicker doesn't look good Is your warranty void due to opening the device? Could be a hardware fault.
As for the bluetooth pairing, I think mine just worked the first time and I haven't looked at it since. I will have another look later and see if mine is doing the same thing

Today I received this answer from them
Support Email said:
Thanks for your feedback.
We're so sorry for the inconvenience and trouble.
1) Firstly sorry for my wrong info about the instruction before,for this new Android product, currently it has no searching function in the built-in Bluetooth. About dropping the built-in Bluetooth app to pair the Bluetooth OBDII with other Bluetooth app, sorry we did not test it before and not sure the operation. However, this product can directly pair the the Wifi OBDII which is tested by us
2) Regarding this issue, frankly we didn't meet it before, if you're good at electronic, it's ok to open the radio by removing screws around the frame then check out the inside connection and we would still promise the warranty.
If we can be of any assistance,please feel free to tell us,thank you!
Best regards,
Colin

So two things I learned. The crappy Bluetooth App can't connect to other devices. The second is I still have warranty after open the cover and check the internal cables.
Yeah, I suspect hardware fault. It only start happening after 20, 25 minutes after power up. something heats up and puff...
Howdy, folks.
I just purchased and installed a Witson 8236 (10.25") Android head unit running Android 8.1 powered by an rk3399 CPU.
Every time I switch over to the Android side, I am getting an Active Headlamp Error (BMW) which goes away when I switch back to the OEM side of the system. The other issue is that the iDrive controller does not work at all in the Android environment, though this is a far less alarming issue.
It's my hope that this is only a firmware issue and I can update to address the issue, or even downgrade if necessary.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to find any available update? I don't even have the Password to access their settings environment, and their support is lousy, which is to say: nonexistent.
Thanks!

Sending a PM now. Are you having trouble with the head unit causing an Adaptive Headlight warning? Every time I switch from the CIC side to Android, the car goes wonky and I get the 'blong' warning sound and a constant error on the headlights. Sometimes it ends in about 10 minutes (an eternity) sometimes it doesn't until I turn the car off for a half hour or so.

It is almost a great head unit wit dsp and optical out, but have some problems:

- the home screen cannot be changed
How could be replaced the stock music app, with similar music user friendly/modded music app like in Hal9k's px5 rom have?
How could it be rooted?
Thanks if anybody could help...

Ownice K6 SC9853
Hi! i bought an Ownice K6 SC9853 media but I completely stopped it, the image is normal but the interface is virtually inverted, I can't handle it normally. i want a hard reset but it won't restart, how is a total reboot possible?
Thanks!
Como podré reset en modo recovery para revivirlo se me a quedado frizado y no pasa del logo de Android
Help me please. With the Ownice K6 radio tape recorder, the device worked fine for 1.5 years, then it started. The problem is rebooted every minute and during the reboot the radio works and the volume is adjusted. Then a minute of normal work again reboots and so on in a circle.
What did I do for the solution:
1. flashed it with my native firmware. (which I received from the seller immediately after purchase)
2. I was flashing it with firmware from the seller SysSoftware_C960_K6_20200721.153132_OLS1 (I turned strangely after a year and a half and he sent a pistol the next day)
3. I was flashing the MCU) I also got it from him without any questions)
4. Installed a fan for cooling.
5. Disconnect everything from the radio except the power supply.
the result is the same reboot every minute.
can anyone come across a similar one or knows where to find a discussion of a similar problem.

No, it's not enough, maybe you ave problems of battery. On mine, after U played about 3 hours with the HU in the car without start the engine, it beniged to shut down, I started and it shut down; after I understood the the battery was discharged.
Without 12,5 volts or more, it didn't work(and it's normal).

Hi, I want to be able to update my firmware but it seems this is not a genuine unit from googling, I bought it off AliExpress a long time ago, was working great but now the control buttons are not all working, eg the back button doesn't go back anymore but brings up the settings like option button, done a factory reset but still the same, android auto hardly understand and commands, works find on phone when not connected to android auto, hoping an update might fix that but can't find anything, anyone any idea from the pictures?
Thanks
No, I would try to contact the seller and ask for help.
This firmware is completely unknown.
Odd ball
Ok, thanks, seller wasn't much help on AliExpress so I tho i give here a try if someone might came across one of these before

By the way... As I can read on your pics, the Android API is called 28. If it would be Android 10, you should read API29 in there.
That means, this is a fake Android 10 version.Instead this is an Android 9 version.
Doesn´t make things better I think.
It´s often a mess with the seller as they even don´t know what they are selling.
Hope that someone has already seen this kind of firmware/MCU, but I have no real hope.
Pardon my ignorance, but quote: "was working great" and "hoping an update might fix that" seem inconsistent. If it was working correctly, why would it need an 'upgrade' to fix it? Surely there is some other reason it is now not working correctly?

pardon my ignorance too, how did you miss all the words between "was working great" and "hoping an update might fix that"
"was working great" but now the control buttons are not all working, eg the back button doesn't go back anymore but brings up the settings like option button, done a factory reset but still the same, android auto hardly understand and commands, works find on phone when not connected to android auto, "hoping an update might fix that but can't find anything, anyone any idea from the pictures?"
I'm not sure why you had to pick out the start and end of it and left out the rest

Calm down folks...
In most units you should be able to adapt the hardware buttons and touch buttons somewhere in the settings.
As I don´t know your specific unit, you need to search yourself... sorry to say.
At least, I don´t think that a firmware update would help here, as those settings are persisted.
So take your time and step through the internal settings of this unit. May be there is something hidden behind a PIN. If there is something like that, you need to try to get the PIN from the seller. They should know them.
...but be really careful not to change anything if you are not sure. Can make things seriously bad.

I have the pin and I have went in to settings for the buttons and dials, setting has not been changed and no matter which button settings I use, no difference
I'm calm alright dont worry, just dont understand the point and purpose of a reply that just picking the start and end of my post and completely ignored the rest.
Because the piece in between is irrelevant. If it was working fine then no update is needed unless you have installed or changed something since that is not compatible with the original firmware. If you have not, then the firmware has not changed itself to make something not work.
I'm sorry you cannot see the logic in that, I'll leave the thread now.
Hello All,
I have an Android 11 head unit with 8GB RAM and 64GB ROM and I'd like to know if I find and firmware update for this. (I've attached some pictures)
As I read on the forum on some head units with an update the iDrive controller can be used in other apps. At this moment I only can use the iDrive controller on the original launcher. I tried with other launcher and it didn't work.
Could someone know what can I do?
Thanks,
This crap from AIDA does not help in any way.
This is no tablet.
Post the complete picture you posted incl the MCU and firmware... and someone may be able to help.
AIDA is useless.

I saw that topic, but I think there is an old version. Mine MCU, I think, is from 22.05.18, correct?

May be, but the guys having those units may answer you in there.

Thank you.
Also I have an issue when trying to open CPU-Z. The app is closing without any error.

There is no need to use CPU-Z. What is the reason for you to get that running?

That does not really help. Aida is good for phone and tablet, CPU-Z if it runs... well...
I would install "Fake Device Test" and you would get all the needed information.

What does the seller recommend to get the iDrive back working?
At least he should know.

This is normal... If you live in EUR, the time difference to China is 6hrs. So if you wake up in the morning, they are near to go home.

...but you are not the one and only customer he has to care of. Be lucky that he answers. There are others which do not answer at all after the unit has arrived.
Idrive started to work. No more issues. All works flawless
