Help with identifying model, and problems with sound quality between apps

Hello, I am new here so I apologize if I am breaking rules with this post. I have been searching for some time to try to identify my unit, I've spent nights reading through the other threads and then give up and finally decided to just post and hope for the best. I want to mod my unit to be able to take advantage of the viper app to improve sound quality. As is only the youtube app and standard radio app will turn on my sub. Spotify and Pandora which I would prefer to use have the worst sound quality from all speakers and the sub barely turns on to a point of me thinking the radio wasn't working when i first installed because I was testing my sound with Pandora then switched to radio and immediately noticed the difference. I intend to run an amp for all speakers and sub, so I'm also curious if anyone knows if any of these units have pre outs for front, rear and sub as i may then look at getting a different unit since mine only has 1 set of outs and then the single sub channel. Anyway, first things first I have not been able after trying very hard and search to identify my unit. I've come to the conclusion it is an unbranded unit and is Model number "AC8227" and MCU version "IAP36/CM02.0.00.02_161215_19:42" i'm also going to include pictures of what that screen looks like. Any assistance with identifying or what I need to do if i can to root this would be helpful, thanks in advance and sorry again if I didnt follow some etiquette of posting.

when i looked into this one it seems similar. I couldn't find a lot of info about rooting though. I mainly just want to be able to use viper for the better sound quality. I get excellent sound from my amped speakers and sub on youtube app, radio app, and bt music app, but spotify and pandora are much quieter and barely push the sub at all. I'm not sure if anyone else has had similar issues but the problem here is that if I tune my amp to push harder to compensate for the quieter apps, then it will be very over powered on the audio that are working correctly. I was also wondering if the youtube app is possibly tuned differently since it is streaming video not music possibly? like if the unit has different sound settings for video playback than audio alone?

Looking for advice on a Android head unit for my VW Touareg

I don't know why I didn't just come to XDA first. I recently picked up a 2008 VW Touareg. The factory Nav system has to go, it's like playing a 8-bit video game and don't even get me started on how tedious it is using the search function without touch screen controls.
What I am looking for in a head unit:
Obviously running Android OS
Customizing ability, aka rooting, custom ROM and/or Launcher. I here THIS launcher is good, but I don't know if it works with all Android head units.
Backup Camera support (a bonus would be to be able to keep my OEM camera)
DVR to use with dash cameras
Steering wheel control support
Ability to install 3rd party apk's as well as use the Google Play store for apps.
It seems all the Android head units have one thing in common, they are all weird companies I've never heard of from China and the support I get is very limited when I have questions. Even if I go to Alibaba there are like 10 radios that all look the same. It also seems they all do about the same thing and have the same look so knowing what is what is not easy. This is where I am hoping you guys can help.
I have my eye on the company Seicane. They make THIS unit that will fit right in with no dash mods but the downside is a smaller screen. So with that said, I am leaning to a full double din radio but a lot of these are universal and don't say specifically if they work for my make/model car. I attached a pic of my OEM head unit if it helps.

Thanks in advance for any answers you have.

I don't have any experience with the seicane or other android units yet (i'm looking at getting my first one now as well). That seicane unit should just drop right in with no issue which is nice. Other standard double din units should work, but you'll need to use a dash install kit. Be careful though. From what i've been reading it sounds like a lot of these chinese units are a slightly different size than standard double din. larger by a couple mm I think. They still fit, but you may have to modify the dash kit a bit to fit it.

Generic head unit fader doesn't function

Hi all,
Just installed an ebay android head unit:
For Kia Optima K5 2011 2015 9 Android 10 1 RAM 2GB ROM 32GB Car Stereo Radio for sale | eBay
Find great deals on eBay for For Kia Optima K5 2011 2015 9 Android 10 1 RAM 2GB ROM 32GB Car Stereo Radio. Shop with confidence.
www.ebay.ca
It of course has the settings page with a sound settings tab where there is then an EQ and a speaker button that opens another page where there is an image of car interior and you can move a dot around to adjust speaker focus. The balance seems to work fine but there is no front to rear change. Had thought it was because i was using a different launcher with poweramp but have since done a factory reset and it also doesn't fade forward or rear using stock launcher and localmusic app.
When I pull the screen down from top there is an amplifier shortcut. Have tried with on or off.
Any other suggestions to try or do these just not actually have a fader ability?

You have to go to factory settings and choose "without amp"

Thank you. Unfortunately I dont seem to have that function to be found. There is an amplifier page in factory options but it only offers level change between 1-100. Made no difference at 1.
I contacted seller and they advise they will send settings file updates to me to load. I thought fader was working when first installed but then stopped after I had installed agama launcher and another music player but cant recall 100%. Will see what seller sends and if fixes the issue. Other than that and the slight hiss at low volume im pretty happy with it for the cost.

No fix from seller yet. File sent thiugh different version # was same issue. Second update wouldn't instal. Waiting on further.
Seems it is also one of the fake info models. Info apps show is just 1Gb Ram not the 2Gb it tries to claim. 8227l it seems from cpu-z info given.
So should I just be rooting and changing ROM? Will that be fixing fader? Or would root and use of that Viper app provide for a fader setting that should function?
Will see what seller does next but I intend to discuss discrepancies found and likely see a partial refund.
Thanks for any further guidance

Do you have a factory amplifier on board?

No speakers are powered by the head unit itself. My car just has the base model stereo. I've seen a walkthrough to load a rooted rom with viper loaded. Just waiting on a male to male usb to arrive so I can connect my laptop and try loading that on

Joying HU 2020

Just installed a Joying 7" HU to an Australian Hyundai i30:
Spec JY - UO128N4GSN 8-Core Intel Spreadtrum SC9853i 1.8GHZ
Operating System: Android 8.1 Oreo
GPU: Maili T820 MP2
So far I have been very pleased with the operation and appearance of this HU after owning a prev version 4 years ago.
I have one bug I don't seem to be able to get the better of. I hope someone on this forum may be able to help.
I got a USB front camera mounted beside the center mirror. The camera is a generic Chinese unit U2 with ADAS etc. from E bay. The camera came with "Traffic Safety Guard" pre loaded into it's RAM. I put a 16G card in the camera slot. The software installed into the HU OK.
The picture from the camera displayed on the HU is very good. If I start the program it records the video very well and tags it with date time etc.
Problem:
The HU will not auto load the camera software on restarting the car.
The HU auto starts all other programs I left running like Radio, GPS nav and all others like music player.
If I manually restart the "Traffic Safety Guard" app all is well until I restart the car. Then the HU drops the program again. - infuriating.
Joying offered NO help on my request, said it was normal.
I tried a few Auto Start Apps but they do not change the problem - it still wont restart the camera app automatically.
Any help would be great. Keep in mind I am not proficient at writing software I am an ex telephone tech so elec trickery is my thing.

Use FYTStarter from @bambapin
See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-ram-32gb-flash.3897206/page-58#post-80411035
You can sssign apps to be started on boot/resume from sleep.

That solution worked perfectly first time!!!
I now don't have to worry every time I start the car if I have turned the camera on.
Thank you for your help!
This forum and ones like it are one of the better things about the internet.
Thanks again.

Newbie Question: What kind of headunit do I have?

Hi all
New here, so please be kind ;-)
I've purchased the following headunit from Aliexpress. It is the 12.3" 6G128G LTE Carpl 360 model. It is for a 2011 Toyota Prado 150 Kakadu with navigation system, amplifier and factory 360 cameras.
I downloaded the AIDA64 app which states the Manufacturer is sprd and model ums512 1h10_Natv and brand is SPRD.
Figuring this was a Spreadtrum model I went to the General FYT based Spreadtrum uis7862 (unisoc ums512) - Q&A, Mods, tips, firmware page and read through things there. The first thing I did then was download the HWGet_Info.apk app and ran it on my headunit. The response was "I did not find any FYT properties. This means your unit is NOT a FYT compatible unit. It stops here."
So this is where I'd like some pointers as to where to start please.
I'm attaching a couple of photos which hopefully might help.
Kind regards
Michael

AIDA is not helpful for Android car radios.
Important is the System Setting page you showed in the first 2 pics.
It is stated there...
You got a TS10 unit. If you use the search function in this forum you will find a lot of different threads regarding this kind of unit.

Thanks so much Rigatoni...I've started having a bit of a read. A lot to learn.
I appreciate your help
Cheers Michael

Have the same car type and the same head unit type. I managed to install it but no steering wheel controls and the sound plays with gaps (2-3 second play silence fot some seconds again play). Cameras work, original cd plays fine, temperature control works. Did you manage to install yours?

Hi Ovic, yes I got it all installed OK. The only thing which doesn't work straight out of the box is the steering wheel volume controls which is not biggie as I can reach over to the know right next to the steering wheel anyway. I don't get any sound gaps although occasionally I get no sound at all. I find switching to the bluetooth setting and pairing again (even though already paired) fixes things.
I mostly use wireless CarPlay and it works a treat.
