I am having trouble getting support from the company I purchased my unit from. They are either very slow responding or just ignoring me. Didn't help that I didn't give them the best review in a follow up email. Anyway - maybe someone here can help me. No manual or instructions were provided. The unit is specific for 08 cadillac sts, plug n play adapter to the car doesn't match. I have the wiring diagrams and prepared to cut and splice directly to the car. There are 8 wires on the plug - yellow and black for continuous power - 4 speaker wires - and 2 wires that I don't have a clue where to connect them. I have asked for the instruction booklet or where these 2 wires are to be connected - no response. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi XDA
We bought a new android head unit ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bes...103320.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.4cbf3c006VNKDW) for our Citroen C5 2010 and it works great. Seems like the CANBUS support is way better now, than just 2-4 years ago in the old Android car radios. It detects when doors are open etc. Pretty cool .
I have a few question and maybe some of you might be able to answer.
1) The cable that supplies the USB connector ( on the picture ) also splits out into a grey cable. I was wondering if any of you have seen this cable before and know what it is for?
2) I'm still trying to figure out what brand of radio this is. Maybe someone can help with that?

Here's a picture of the about screen.
Picture of the grey connector would help.
Is there a diagram illustrating connection to the unit?

Here's a picture of the cable.
Btw it says "Mobile Inter" on the connector, so I would guess it's a connector for the USB 3G/4G modem, but I have never seen this connector before...
Color wise it looks like USB, 2 power pins and 2 data pins. You could check if there are 5 volts between red and black.
I found your thread because I'm also considering a Android headunit for my C5 III (2009). What radio was installed before and was the display a drop-in replacement or where any modifications necessary? Are you still satisfied with the unit?
I have an Android head unit I received for free, but it's missing the device cable. The unit has a sticker on the back that says AC-9216B-2+16GB. I was able to figure out what pins were for the battery connection, ground, and accessory. using some clip leads I was able to get it to power up and I found a complete wiring diagram in the settings displayed on the screen. I just need to find the 16 pin connector to be able to use this unit. The clip leads barely hold on and fall off with the slightest movement.
I'll attach some pictures with the device info and the connector.
Any help for where to buy the device cable would be greatly appreciated. It came with the GPS antenna, the backup camera cable, the A/V cable, and the two USB cables. It was just missing the main cable that has the connections for the power, and speakers. It also came with a USB dongle that is supposed to add Android Auto.
I see a lot of posts about this type of unit (8227L) with instructions for how to unlock the bootloader and flash custom ROMs. So if I can find a cable, I should be able to make this unit work pretty well.
You can buy the cable from aliexpress just search for shops:
Carload
Podofo
Both sell 8227L devices and you can get the cables from them.

Thanks for the tip. It took a little searching, but I found the correct cable. If you search for "XY AUTO Android Solution Interface" They come right up. The power cable was only $1.82. I ordered two since I was paying almost $5 for shipping. Of course they will take a month to get here from China.
I purchased a rear view camera adapter for the Jeep Wrangler . Upon examination I see that the power and ground wires are labeled as follows: (Black wire GND) (Red wire B+) and the (yellow wire ACC).
When connected according to the wire ID tags the camera does not work.
After viewing adapters belonging to other CC2 & CC3 owners it appears that the wires on my adapter may be mislabeled.
Other cables are shown as RED ACC, and YELLOW B+
Everything else on the HU works very well.
Any ideas?
Hey guys
So my headunit that I put inside my 2004 E46 does not support Apple CarPlay from the start.
The unit runs android (10)
I bought a adapter and tried to install the app that It comes with but nothing… no signal.
So the issue seams so be that there is not enough power coming out of the USB port from the headunit.
When I use a splitter and plug the end for power into the lighter usb charger and the data one into the usb dongle it works no problem but it looks ****ty …
Any way or any adapter that I can get this fixed with?
Hi,
I recently purchased a usb cable for my android head unit and the lead doesn't work. I didn't buy the unit so I don't know the brand etc. The unit was in the car when I bought the car.
I'm guessing the wires that plug into the usb connection are in the wrong order. I have no way of finding out the correct order. Does anyone on the forum know the correct order or even show me a picture of their usb cable.
I've bought 2 cables so far, neither of them have worked and they cost close the £100. It's very frustrating that I can't get them to work
Thanks in advance
What does the seller suggest and what happened when you tried that.
Also, with no information and detailed screenshots, how did you want help
When I plug in the usb cable and try any basic usb connections like phone chargers usb sticks etc. Nothing happens at all.
I've attached a screenshot from a product guide I found online if that helps.
If anyone knew which pins were for data transfer or voltage, that could help me loads.
Thanks
Measuring is the magic word. 8 pins will be connected in the original cable. (VBUS)+5V 2 times and 2x GND
...then you only have to find out what is D- and what is D+ for the data lines.
If you don´t want to measure: Open the magic box and have a look at the pins from the connector inside.
Just with your picture no one can tell anything. Each supplier does it´s own magic.
By the way... Connecting that wrong, may damage the internal USB-Hub and you can buy a new mainboard... just to mention. Trying around is not a good idea.
