Hi guys I'm new on here, i do apologise if i have posted on the wrong area , i have a Chinese 10.1 inch android SPRD head unit with android 10 installed. I have fallen out with the guy i bought it off as there was a lot of miss advertisements on advert which did not match when i got the unit.
However thats another story and wont get into it, what i want to know and if anyone can help me i will really appreciate it as iv tried everything and getting no where. So here are my problems :-
1, Upgrading android 10 to android 11.. there seems to be no menu that has the upgrade option, so how can i upgrade to android 11 or twelve? And How do i upgrade mcu version?
2, im having problems with GPS when car is on i loose gps signal to like half of one bar.. when car/ignition is turned off GPS comes alive and get good signal and catches satellites.. what does this happen? Whats the solution?
3, i cant change the icons on home screen, cant change/add on tool bar, no bluetooth button to turn on and off on bar on top of screen.. but blue tooth is there works fine when connecting phone and bluetooth icon shows on top bar when connected..
4, the android version seems very limited on this unit, even in developer settings there dont seem to be many adjustments options to turn on or off.. i have a meter display shows cars rom gauge and speedometer its all im KM and there is no options anywhere to change this..
5, system does not shut down when car ignition goes off, i have to manually shut it down, even tho in settings its set to shut down when acc off! Any suggestions?
I have attached pictures of GPS ignition off and one of ignition on.. also all the build software info pictures too..
Any help would be appreciated
You have an UIS7862-based FYT unit. Pretty common and there's a dedicated thread with plenty of info. Now, for your questions:
1. There is no (real) Android 11 or 12 for these units.
2. Change the location of the GPS antenna. Radio works OK when car is on?
3+4. Get a different launcher and/or custom ROM. Launchers here
5. did you change that in factory settings? If you did then you probably have an error in wiring.
Also, this post should be moved to the FYT Android Head Units area

Hi firstly thank you so much for your response and information.
1. mine has android 10 loaded.. but have seen others with android 11 and layout set up different to mine. Mine was supposed to be 11 setup but in a nutshell wasnt sold what was advertised. :/ so i would like to load android 11 on at least, i assume there is a way to do this?
2, i have changed location tried behind dash tried on top of dash tried even dangling it out the pan roof but same problem when ignition off gps signal goes up, soon as ignition on or car started signal drops to 1 satellite. Yes everything else works fine just gps problem.
3-4 i will have a look at what you have sent.
5, yes there is two options one for putting unit to sleep and other to turn off unit when ACC is off.. but it doesn't turn it off i have to manually turn it off
Any more help advice would be great thank you.. ps i will put this post on where you have said.
Thanks again

What you have seen is the ability to fake the android versions. The chinese seller use the ability quite often. They fake CPU specs, ram amount, software versions and other things... There are some apps out there, that can proof those fakes. So, there is no android 11 or 12 for your device. It's just all android 10.

Ive had this unit for about 2 months now. Purchased it from the US seller on amazon. It shipped within 24hrs from NY. Arrived in Florida in about 4 days.
It arrived in the typical plain white box, no thumbdrive with this one, no sd card. Not a big deal as i have plenty of both. Well packaged and un damaged.
The vehicle i installed it into is a 2016 Mustang GT, base model with the 4" screen and abomination that Ford likes to call "sync".
Without getting into why, I wanted a head unit that would have navigation and run apps without all of the nanny controls you find on the more common units, and did NOT retain ford sync. If anyone has ever been on a mustang forum, you will see half the threads are complaints about the factory sync, or people testing out various Chinese replacements for the base system. None of these options interested me as i would be still stuck with sync. So i discovered these types of android head units first on ebay, then some research on youtube lead me to the "Joying" brand. Some pretty favorable reviews here so i decided to take the plunge on this unit: h t t p s :// w w w .carjoying.com/android-5-1-car-stereo/android-5-1-car-stereo-2din/newest-joying-2016-automotive-lollipop-android-5-1-1-universal-7-inch-car-head-unit-double-2-din-autoradio-gps-navigation-system-quad-core-hd-1024-600-radio-stereo-audio-16gb-support-revers.h t m l
I figured it was more money than the typical china mustang screen upgrades, but less money than i would spend on an alpine or pioneer that still would not do what i wanted.
Contrary to what most people told me, there was plenty of room behind the dash, as long as you use a bezel from a premium model. I was able to complete the install to this point without cutting ONE SINGLE WIRE thanks to a member on mustang6g forum who made me a custom harness. In fact, Joying didnt even want to sell me the unit as they said it would not fit, despite my sending them pictures showing it would. It was as if the world wants you to suffer with a garbage radio if you own a 16 mustang lol.
So far this uint has performed nearly flawlessly. It has never frozen on me, or even slowed down on me for that matter. I am able to run pandora, spotify-yes spotify! waze, google maps and navigation, chrome, even netflix. I was rather surprised just how well all the apps run on it as ive read threads on here where people have had issues with some of these apps, but it runs just as fast or faster than my galaxy s5. The only thing ive seen happen is if you try to run apps as its still booting up it will bog down.
The sound quality of the built in speaker level amp is very good. much better than stock. I have not tried using the pre-amp outputs yet or the sub output. The factory equalizer does its thing, has a fader but not a spacializer. It appears to be able to use the steering wheel controls but i have not tried to tackle that yet. Also, there is an area where it appears you can read the vehicle can bus, but i have no idea how to connect that as there is almost nothing on the market for the 15-16 mustang yet.
Here is a bad video i made of it lol: h t t p s :// youtu.be/VDxKmkw_as8
If anyone on this forum can point me in the right direction as far as steering wheel controls or can bus connection I would really appreciate it, and of course ill try my best to answer any questions about my experiences with this unit.
Also, i thought i saw there is a contact for JoyingUSA on this forum? Maybe he could offer some guidance.
Thanks
Nick
doctorman is the Joying guy.
Glad to see a good review
Interesting to read the unit works fine for you. I got the equivalent for Volkswagen (EU-JY-VQ125) and got some issues:
The radio app often forgets station names, but at least it refreshes them later during operation.
The radio reception and sound quality is quite bad (with dual aerial + amplifier built in car) compared to OEM.
The "Media" (Music) app has problems with MP3 tracks (on SD card): often it takes a lot of fiddling to get the tracks list (it takes a lot of time after inserting the SD card, occassionally no storage type (internal, SD) is listed at all), often the tracks cannot be changed by tapping on the new directory in the tracks list - the GUI returns to the main app screen, but the original tracks continue to play and the new selection is completely ignored). It is pretty dangerous to operate the HU while driving...
The "Media" button cannot be assigned to a different Music app and even if it can be, the other apps do not work well with the system (e.g. you easily get both Radio and MP3 playback simultaneously).
A note on the 3rd party app Waze: The GUI has always been bad for landscape mode, but since the version 4, Google really screwed it. In navigation mode, the half top of the screen is used by driving directions and notifications and as a result, it is unusable for navigation because there is not enough map shown in front of the car symbol.

Hey CM, I just bought a Joying in 5.1.1 and of course mining all I can before the install. I was wondering if you have already put one of these in your Caddy? I have a CTS w/o amp or at least I don't think it has an amp since its not a Bose system. Hudson has a vid on YouTube showing cutting into the middle plug on the DIC unit with RCA plugs......... how would that work w/o an amp? Also I'm reading these units are a tad bigger than American uints.... how much I tad?
By the way, I'm just across the river from you....

no sorry, I'm actually no longer a Cadillac man, I traded it in on the Jeep Wrangler I have. I previously had a 2011 CTS, with the pop up Nav screen, and I dont know how you'd get one of these to work in it.

Here is the answer concerning SWC: http://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...in-factory-steering-wheel-audio-controls.html
Good morning, forum.
I bought a Quad Core Android Head unit for my Lancer a couple of months ago in Aliexpress and I just love it. However there are a couple of things I would change or I would like to understand better.
First of. I did see there are some subforums for this topic but I'm not really sure on what kind of unit (technically speaking) this is, so I apologize if this is not the correct sub-forum.
Pretty much what I have problems with, is the following:
Whenever I turn on my car, the radio app pops up by default, and that's cool, but what I don't like is that it goes to a random frequency I have nothing stored on and it's pure noise until I change it to a stored station, and I would like it to open up a stored station by default.
Another thing is that I move the EQ but whenever I turn car off and back on, the EQ settings do not remain where I left them, they're not being saved. Saved stations remain in their pressets, wallpapers in the head unit remain, but the EQ settings reset themselves.
I would like to know there's a way to "default" the radio station or preset for whenever the radio app runs and to "default" settings in the EQ or have it saved, or if there's any other radio app I can use with my head unit.
This is it:

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm using Lancer as well, and bought the same android like urs, just that mine is v4.4.2 (kitkat), urs is v5 (Lollipop). So to answer your question.
1. Same like mine, but eventually the EQ setting will stick after a few times of resetting everytime my car starts
2. The radio is a bit troublesome, the steering control, instead of changing to the next preset channel, it scans the next frequency, so I just downloaded another radio alternative, which is much better to customize, and also it will pop up the Radio Channel/Frequency if ur on a different screen.
Hey, thanks a lot for the answer!
What radio app didn't you download? I would like to give it a try.
Thanks in advance!

You can try using this 3rd party radio app
https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...FaWXVCMzhUTGxTd2djczVyQkV0VjBKRzg?usp=sharing
Or try to flash it to IQNavi, it's way much cooler and nicer.

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum and just recently went into the world of Android Head Units.
I few months ago I bought a S160 Android Head Unit (4.4.4) and even though it works ok, I find it super slow and one of my main issues is that you can't run Google Maps properly because it makes it absurdly slow (I assume its due to the fact it only has 1GB of memory)
Now I'm looking to potentially replace my S160 with another unit that is quicker. I've seen the newly released S190 but also heard about PX3, PX5 which I admit I don't fully know the difference.
Main needs for me in the main unit would be:
1. Be quick enough to be able to run google maps and other Android apps (Google play music, YT etc)
2. Improved boot time -- sleep option would be a plus
3. Have proper support/documentation to keep it running for a long time
Any units currently in the market that would be certain upgrade from the S160 and would have the requirements above?
Thanks!
I've got the s190 and love it
I tested so many sat have including Google, and not one of them is slow, at all
Also I put my unit into "auto sleep" which draws 9mA, which is hardly anything, and it powers on straight away, no waiting time or boot loading

Can you share the link from where you bought yours? I've seen multiple sites selling the S190 and different specs.
Thanks!

Mine was the 2004 ForFour
I just purchased this unit and had one identical to it with android 7.1. This one has 8.1 oreo and i'm running into some missing features mainly the subwoofer control seems to be....gone. my old 7.1 has a slider in the Eq but theres none on this new 8.1 unit. I also notice the old one seemed to stay in standby mode and had quick boot up on vehicle start but the new 8.1 boots cold every time. I looked on hizpos site and didnt see any link for tech support so I'm here to see if you guys are familiar with this unit.
nothing?
I have one of these units and mine does not have subwoofer control either... I wish it did
Mine does the stand by thing though the time on the clock gets off frequently
Hi all!
I've encountered several problems with my unit. Hence, the most important question:
Could you help me please to point out the most up-to-date ROM I can update to? I get lost in all threads and I'm not sure which one is correct specs:
Px5, MTCE KSP 2.81e1
4gb ram, 64 bit, 8 cores cortex a53
And 8 now I guess
Rav4 2008 use version
Current compilation: px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5 170623.007 eng.hct.20180418.100720 test-keys
If cannot update, I have some sever problems, listed in priority order, maybe someone will be able to help me:
1. Litteraly yesterday some buttons stopped working. Physical buttons are fine, checked factory settings, mapping is correct and reporting. Nevertheless, screen home button, app switch, settings and probably more are not working, so the physical mapping for these is also down. Moreover, back/next buttons are working only in some apps (e.g. working in radio app, but not working in youtube). No idea what has happened...
2. Apps updates stopped working. Cannot update any app. I suppose it is somehow connected with the first problem.
3. Cannot connect to Wi-Fi network on cold car. There was somewhere thread about it, however, the temperature reason was debunked as far as I remember... but then again, if car is cold I need to restart several times and when heated enough it connects with no problem. Pretty sure it is temperature connected, as during the summer it was way faster to make it work, sometimes even without restart. Additional info: when cannot connect, the Wi-Fi switch in top bar is simply not responding, cannot toggle on.
If someone can help my I can donate a beer or something... I'm on the verge of ripping the device out of the car...
did you find anything? I have an MTCE KSP2 with mcu V3 and android 9 and I don't have any clues where to go

I hit the latest oreo rom from malaysk (3.5), working just fine. Resolved problem with revers camera freezing, other problems still persist (total freez from time to time, wifi on cold disabled, crashing apps from time to time - I guess it is more hardwae problem than system)
