Eonon sleep and steering wheel controls - Android Head-Units

8 years and a new head unit! having wired and fitted in the past I am a bit lost why I
have 2 problems with the new unit an Eonon Q03 Pro
I wired in the correct wires from the steering wheel to the headunit, I measured the resistance and checked it all works.
In settings nothing registers. I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara 2010 all I cana find is that Canbus was not applied to the steering wheel controls as they are analogue
My old head unit worked ok. no problems with steering wheel.
The second problem is I replaced my old head unit an 8 year old android headunit, I thought the 7floor mod I did on it was draining the battery. Drain is on the stereo fuse.
No sleep set. Could there be drain on the reversing camera or the powered antenna? Trickle charged the battery twice.
any help is very grateful, google is not helping with this problem

Xtrons and Volvo

Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum. I know a bit about Volvo (the older ones!), and Volvo head units, but not about Chinese Android head units.
I’m considering replacing the aging head unit of my (also aging!) 2002 Volvo V70. The head unit is a simple HU 603, so no Dolby, center speaker or extra amplifier. I’m looking at Xtrons TA702P (quad core) or TB706PL (octa core). I prefer a 7 inch touch screen, no knobs, no DVD. But navi should be good, as would radio. Music I can play through usb. And my Elephone S7 (Android 7.1) phone should mirror on the unit if possible.
Other functions like back up camera or steering wheel control are not important to me.
I know how to take the HU 603 out. I know I need an adapter harness to connect with the new unit. And a fascia adapter. All that is available.
My questions:
Xtrons has many car/model specific head units (not for Volvo). They have Canbus decoders supplied with the unit. Not so for the TA702P or the TB706PL. Will that give problems? (The answer from the ebay seller is somewhat useless: ‘Both the TB706PL and the TL702P does not come with the canbus so that you just ignore it.’) Anyone has experience with this?
How are user experiences with these modern Xtrons units? I know, ‘you get what you pay for’, I know that. But still, worth the money?
Units from Kenwood or Pioneer are other options, but again, is it worth it?
Thanks!
Hi there
I own and drive a V70 from 2006. I have replaced the original HU with a SONY 2 DIN unit (XAV-V630BT). This unit has great sound. I also swapped the speakers to JBL. It is totally worth it.
I have a CANbus to resistor unit. This makes it possible to use the steering wheel buttons.
Right now i am testing a Android HU. Unfortunately i have bought the wrong one. The unit is full of bad design choices. The sound integration in the unit is bad. I think that radio, BLUETOOTH and AUX sound runs directly to the sound processor. This means that when the Android unit plays a sound, the sound from the other units are turned off. In my opinion the other source should just fade a little.

Hi there
As said, I don't need steering wheel controls, my steering wheel doesn't even have the buttons. Must have been a cheapskate first owner!
Does this mean the Canbus only affects steering wheel control? So ignoring Canbus (no resistor as in your case), will give no problems?
And yes, by now I've found out Android units may not have the best sound quality. Or radio reception.

PX5 Steering Wheel controls

Hello,
I bought an Android unit on July and after some troubleshooting everything was working fine. Now I have a problem. I have a Renault Clio 4 Pre-Restyling and steering wheel controls are managed by CAN-BUS. The problem is that Volume controls and radio station change don't work if I don't turn on Head Lights. Other canbus functionalities seem to be working fine. For example when I open doors I can see them on my video. Could it be the CanBus decoder faulty or I have to check some wire connection? Thank you
Anyone can help me? Do you need any further information? Is it possible to know the pinout of CANBUS connector? Usually is 20 pin.

Eonon GA453B (2gb / 32gb) - car connection issues - B6 passat

Hi all,
I know this isn't a car forum, but car forums usually aren't android forums
I'm entering the world of Android HUs, after spending the last 5 years in the world of android media units.
Recently bought an Eonon GA453B - let me know if you want system info etc.
Only seems to run when I bypass the CANBUS connector for power.
Steering wheel controls work, and the HU picks up doors open, battery voltage etc.
But I need to connect two wires together that bypass the CANBUS and therefore the HU to powered on ALL the time, draining the battery over a few days.
I can even walk past my car, and my phone connects to its Bluetooth.
I have a VW passat r36 (b6), and the OEM headunit works fine.
Any ideas?.
Thanks a lot.

2017 Nissan Rogue with Seicane head unit can't figure out how to get steering wheel controls and intermittent camera functionality

I recently purchased and installed a seicane unit in my Rogue, initially I wasn't able to get the cameras to work at all but a neighbor helped me get it working, I'm not exactly sure what fixed it between messing with CANBUS settings and messing with the wires that could have been making poor contact with the connector. I haven't been able to get the factory steering controls to work as the unit is advertised to work with. Any advice would be majorly appreciated.

Eonon 10.1 inch universal double din steering control

Just bought one of these eonon q03pro units to put in my 2006 mercedes c180 (W203), its a universal unit not car specific, to replace a failed other chinese unit(8 core 8667 chip based unit). I have tested it today but not fully fitted as waiting for facsia kit to arrive.
My last unit was car specific with dedicated wiring harness and canbus for steering controls, this one only came with a standard ISO connector and I have a dedicated mercedes wiring harness coming with the facsia kit, however having a day off I decided to try powering up with the harness from the old 8667 unit, it powered up ok but the steering controls will not work. I have been told Mercedes don't use the resistive control method, you can't program wheel controls like that via the key wires. You would need to use the high/low wires and select your Mercedes model in the advanced Canbus options

Hi, as you changed device , you must set also model for wheel controls via canbus settings in factory settings. It must work.
Sometimes controls must be set afterwards, depends on the canbus box (if it is SIMPLE SOFT, HIWORLD or RAISE canbus) that you installed. You have to shift between canbus settings of various car models in order to work. If you have online update for canbus controls update via internet.
Thank you will try that, maybe trial and error but I thought there would be a way to make it work, as it was from a previous unit set for W203 Mercedes c class. This is my 3rd android unit in the car so hopefully this one will work
