I think it doesn't exist, I've never installed one.
It's a shame that Torque needs an OBD adapter.
If you know what root is, flashing firmware, etc. you can change to another canbus app, but it still shows the same thing, just in a different graphic. No new information.. You can also change the picture of the car in the app, etc.
Try to change the car model, year, etc. in canbus settings. You might find something. Of course, everything at your own risk.

Hello xda people!
I recently purchased an eonon head unit for my E46 316i from ebay. Specifically a GA6150 (rk3188), which was sold together with a reverse camera.
I am really happy with my order, and pleased with the HU's performance. I managed to connect succesfully my OBD adapter, my bluetooth phone and my wifi hotspot and all is working great.!
Although, I found out something which bothers me. I have purchased a Bluetooth RGB LED controller from ebay, in order to DIY install some LEDs in the interior of the car, and I wanted to control them from my eonon android HU. I can control them through my S7 Edge Android phone via the app called Happy Lighting. I have found out that the manufacturer of these controllers is called Triones. So my problem is, that when I open the app, it asks me to turn on the bluetooth, and allows me to press one of two buttons, allow and deny. If I press allow, a message will appear saying: "Turning on Bluetooth" or something like that, with a spinning wheel, indefinately. It will not stop and it will stay like this all the time, making the app useless, making me press home button to exit. All this happens, even though I know that bluetooth is actually on (I havent yet found an on/off switch for Bluetooth, so I suppose it is always on). If I press deny, then I can enter the app, but I am not able to see any of the bluetooth controllers, is there any way, to make the app think that the bluetooth is on? Or actually turn it off or anything? Would you please help me figure out what should I do? And one last question, is how can I change my screen orientation from landscape to portrait?
I will attach a photo of the details for the version of my Head Unit.
This is the link of the HU I purchased from ebay: http://r.ebay.com/aegMSa
And this is the link to the controller: http://r.ebay.com/aDfflI
While this is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qh.Happylightgoogle&hl=en
Thank you very mych for your time!
Yep had 3 Paypal disputes with Eonon about that issue a year ago on a MTCB unit, I would imagine it would be the same with the MTCD
I think they route all Bluetooth information through the MCU and use non standard configuration of their Bluetooth drivers. So applications that ask to turn the BT on cannot as it is not configured that way.
This is something they were not willing to fix or were unable to.

First of all thank you for your reply, i really appreciate it.!
Second, damn it. Damn them! That is really frustrating, i've managed to find a bit more info digging around here and in russian forums. It's sad that i cannot use anything else via bluetooth other than a few OBD adapters and my phone..
I will shortly contact Eonon for my MCU update file and see if anything can be done there. Otherwise, i will see if anything can be fixed via a custom rom and xposed stuff.
P.S.: If there was any other android HU that could support full BT, i would gladly return my Eonon and buy that instead..

Joying intel Sofia units is a bit better with the BT, but do some research first.
Good luck with Eonon
From memory it to do with kernel drivers and BT stack and they would not fix
Also be careful with Eonon and returns, additionally PayPal protection does not cover car audio products.

Digging up an old thread
I would like to connect bluetooth accessories to my eonon new android 10 head unit (2020) - the above looks familiar as i cannot seem to 'find' the devices when searched for using the strange bluetooth 'app'.
Is there anything that can be done? I'd like to add a bluetooth remote (alternatiev to steering wheel controls) - but its not detected by the HU
Hi
I have a Mitsubishi outlander 2011 with rockfordfossgate MMCS system and rear view cam.
I have now installed a Dasaita PX5 Octa Core 64 bit 4gb Ram 32 G rom with Android 8.0 I am currentely using Hal9K rom version 3.1.2 works great
I have got everything working, rear view camera (had to solder a bit to get the original camera to work.)
All speakers with sub working, with the original amplifier.
But i can't fade/balance speakers, don't know if thats posible to fix?
Tone controll working fine.
But i am missing some featurers, I am not sure if it is possible to get it to work?
In my MMCS unit i had the opportunity to change car settings "see attachments".
Like how the wipers shall act and things like that.
I also hade speed signal and fule consumption information.
Not sure if the canbus for my dasaita support this?
In the factorysettings on my dasaita i have choosen canbus (111 Mitsubishi pajero&outlander%asx&lancer(simple)
Steering whell controlls working fine, when i put the car in revers i get the rearview camera and that is working fine.
I have see people talking about car_info app, vehicle.apk and controllinfo apps, this are apps working in the background like the rearview camera app right?.
But i get no icons for this apps on my head unit, and nothing in extra menu or car setting menu.
I do not get any signal when opening doors og changing temperatur on the AC and things like that.
So my question is simple, is there any way for me on my car to get the opertunity to change the settings link a was able to do in the original MMCS unit?
In the MMCS hadde an "equpment" meny, that i do not have now. I also like for information like speed signal, doors opening and things like that be poping up on the unit.
Or is this settning for the equipment and speed signa, doors just not supportet with my canbus decoder?
Is there any other way to get to this equpment setting in my car without installing the original MMCS unit?
Mayby with ODB2 or something like that?

I have 2008 Pajero Exceed.. whilst older than yours.
It doesn't have the extra menu controls you're also missing
I was looking at a system fully installed Extnix $600
But didn't follow through.
They advised me everything would work including amp -EXCEPT the fade/balance, so it might be a bit more embedded into the Mitsubishi system and missing from alternative head units ?
I'm really interested for this topic. I have a Mitsubishi Outlander and it would be great if I could still have stock MMCS settings on an aftermarket android unit.

Hello. guys
i got hold of a TPMS kit from Teyes. 4 tpms in tyre sensors, and usb reciver device with usb. i also got the Teyes cc2plus head unit.
My problem is that i have to sets of tyres. Winter/summer. So teyes or other brands that supports android 10. only ship with one set of 4 sensors.
I Have a Autel MaxiTPMS TS508 unit. I tried to read the sensor but faild to read. As i know the sensor is on 433mhz. and like other china products no markings or numbers.
I would think it was a easy job to just read the sensor and wright to a new one. so then you would have 2 duplicate sets. but no.
I am hoping some of you have the knowledge to help me.

What about the teyes thread that discusses your unit. You have to put some effort in on xda, there are no guys
First contact for support is Teyes, what did they suggest you do before returning defective product
I'd like to read my factory(!) TPMS sensors with my android head unit. Since OBD2 dongles don't seem to provide TPMS data (shame...), I think buying an aftermarket TPMS set, solely for the USB receiver unit. Since I can read TPMS data using my RTL-SDR dongle from my PC with no problem, it may be working, just a question of configuration.
And yes, "question of configuration". Did anyone around here have experiments / experience with such an USB receiver unit? Or am I just overcomplicating things?
@hurjup
Check the CAN settings in your unit. The OEM TPMS data are provided via CAN.
Depends on the car if the CAN box is able to translate these data to be able to see that in your radio.

Could you explain a bit "can box"?
For the very same(?) head units sometimes an additional box (can box?) was provided and sometimes not. Amyway, I didn't receive anything like that for my suzuki s-cross, which looks normal to me. Is it embedded into the unit (which doesn't implement TPMS reading)? Or is it not needed for general functionality?
In short, knowing my car type, can I improve the situation with TPMS, or it is better just let it go?
Thank you in advance...
Well...
I don´t know if your unit has an internal CAN-Box or not. Please ask your reseller.
Nevertheless:
Even your suzuki s-cross should provide these data via CAN.
So possible issues could be:
No CAN-box internal or external (but I expect to get clamp 15, Reverse gear and some other stuff to be provided by any can box)
CAN settings in the unit are wrong
Wrong car set
wrong CAN box set
But most of the time you run into the issue that the CAN box (internal or external) does not translate these data. (most of the cars are not supported for data more than SW-Buttons, Clamp 15, Reverse gear, e-brake)
You should contact your reseller and ask if there is a CAN Adapter available which decodes these data for your car.
I searched already, but did not find any for your car which should be able to do what you want.
I vote for the "CAN box does not translate these data" option. I've contacted my seller, but expect multiple rounds when it tries to google translate "can type" or "can adapter" before hitting a dead end. I don't expect any resolution of this problem through support, simply because the product page wanted to sell me an aftermarket TPMS set for my particular car type.
Some time possibly I'll make a try with such a set, maybe an app dev was lazy enough to adapt rtl_433 with minimal modifications and it will just work.
You´re not allone...
For my Mitsubishi I even don´t get the door open messages and climate control through the CAN box.
Even intire OEM TPMS is not visible. Just visible in the cluster. It is available on CAN, but not translated.
If you would own a VW Golf as example, you would get all this stuff on your unit....so guess why no one get´s on the CAN traces and translates the signals for cars which are not sold that often...
I have a generic 9" Android Head Unit (K6_11_OH??) running Realdash app as a car dash board.
It works quite well using both of the USB ports for serial data (UART) and GPS input. Basically nothing else is required other than wifi to install head unit app
Main issue I have is the head unit re-assigns the USB COM ports each time it powers off and back on. This is annoying as I need to re-assign the dash app inputs every time I turn it of and back on.
Can anyone recommend a generic 9" head unit and chipset combo for the following: ??
- Easy to root
- Easy to customise ROM to strip unwanted apps and bloat
- Easy to customise Launcher / UI to remove (Dash app auto launches but not good if radio also tries to auto launch)
- USB ports enabled and easy to assign and access
- GPS
- Wifi
- 2GB RAM is sufficient
- No need for any other features that add cost such as high end music features (So relatively inexpensive)

There seems to be so many options, I don't want to make the same mistake and buy another one that is not well supported, which is why I asked here.
The one I have now has firmware with K6_11_OH and the last updates I could find was 28/06/2019 and it seems they we never very widely supported.
I had a head unit for my Mazda which is nice. I got it from Bestycar which has an SC7862 chipset which is great for normal music player but more advanced and does not seem as easy to customise and simplify like I want for the basic dashboard specific use for my project car.
So I assume one of the MTC units like a PX5 or PX6 chipset might be the best way to go now?
The dash has been built using a 9" unit this exact shape and I would rather keep this the same.

Don´t get your point...
You are searching for a good supported and quality head unit, right?
In this case you really should dive in at Joying for FYT units ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/fyt-android-head-units.12445/ ) or may be Klyde for CSN2/CSM4 units which are supported in this forum part.
At least you need to search for a unit specially for your car, or you need to search for a universal one with 2-DIN. Don´t ever buy a 1-DIN unit, as they all have severe issues with overheating if they are based on 6- or 8-core chipsets.
But by the way... the points you mentioned in your first posting... Sorry, but what do you expect to get?
I was expecting someone might say something like "UIS7862 head units seem to be the easiest to root hack and customise".
I don't actually want an expensive unit with heaps of great audio features as it is just a screen with 1 app and serial data feeds.
If I could get an Android tablet for 12V car use, with 2 x USB ports and completely raw Android ROM I'd be happy.
Hello everyone. It is a BMW X5 E70 2008, ccc. I bought HU on Aliexpress (the version is in the picture). After installation, the OEM BMW menu does not work (no signal), the usb does not show and the electronic steering wheel adjustment does not work. All cables well connected, checked several times. Can someone help me enable these functions? Thanks in advance
Hi , did you get CANBUS box with this unit?
Canbus is used to connect multimedia device with car functions and car ECU.
If you have one installed probably wrong settings are set for car. You can change it in factory settings menu (hidden menu with PIN code access).
And consult with your seller about bought head unit rather than writing problems here on forum.
As for system update, you can ask seller for update or find on this forum or net, by search term "ZLH_BMH" - that's your version of software for unit.
Hello and thanks for your reply. I have the canbus and it is connected properly. Checked several times by an auto electrician. Everything works as it should except the oem bmw menu. In the factory settings you're talking about, I tried all the options, but it's always the same - no signal. I think it's definitely a software problem and I can't find an update here or anywhere. And the seller is completely useless

I would try to change canbus box with other one, another model like HIworld or Simplesoft, obviously there is no communication between ecu of car and head unit or cables behind unit for keys / steering wheel are misconnected or misswired. Check for wiring diagram for this device, find it one net somewhere.
