Tasker to Autoplay Spotify - Android Head-Units

Hi all,
I recently put an Android radio (skyshadow 4Gb/64Gb) into my old mercedes S211. I want to have Spotify on the radio automatically start playing. I have a LTE Stick with WiFi in the car also. So I made me some profiles/tasks in tasker:
Profile: On Wifi connect to [SSID] -> Task: set a variable to "1" (LTE Stick needs a while to start, so this is the trigger)
Profile: On variable change to "1" -> Task: Start Spotify, wait 10secs, press (simulated) Play
this works nicely on my mobile, but in the car the default screen seems to prevent to start of spotify. As soon as I enter tasker, the prfiles start running
any ides?

Not tested on your device but may be worth a try:
AppSwitcher v3 - smart SWC launcher (for Junsun, Xtrons and similar devices) incl. autostart
AppSwitcher v3 SWC (Steering Wheel Control) app launcher Stay focused on the street and don't touch the head units display to switch between apps. Support the development of this free app via ko-fi.com/appswitcher

From the threads that are applicable to your headunit, what have you found and tried?

nothing relevant, since it's just a search for headunits using that version. You seem to be a bit of a troll here, no? There is no relevant information at all from you, I could have searched for "TS18" myself, so please stop trolling this thread

If you have the option to set an app as navigation app and enable an autostart of your navigation app with the head unit factory settings, AppSwitcher will help you.
AppSwitcher starts the last used media app after boot and sleep. Additionally you can use the SWC mode button and cycle through your own apps.

S7e notifications in car stereo, possible?

Hello!
As the title says, I would like to know if any of you have an idea if this is possible, I've found an app here on XDA called Botifier but I was wondering if any of you have some alternatives and/or your own recommendations/experience.
Thanks in advance for taking some time to answer.
Hi
I don't really know what you're looking for but I use an app called "volume a2dp" wich read your text message through bluetooth when you're in your cav, you can manage the overall volume when connected to selected bt devices.
Cherry on the cake you can retrieve your vehicle by gps because the app store the last location before disconnection.

Thanks a lot, will try that as well, I just want some options to have some sort of "smartwatch-like notifications" but directed to the car stereo/audio system, you know, just to see if that's safest way of not missing important stuff specially on long rides.

Help with Head Unit YT9250 - MCU HW8227L - 2+16Gb

Hi,
I just discovered that my Android head unit is RDS, as it displays Stations' Names in the Scroll down menu.
Unfortunately the Radio App itself is quite ugly and doesn't displays any Name, so I wonder if there is a different Radio App I could install on it that could show RDS
Thanks
Edit, HU is 2+16Gb

I had a look at my head unit hidden files, and I found a second app called FM RADIO 2.0 that is 10 times bigger than the standard Radio App 1.0 that is the one normally used by the OS.
I suspect the bigger one could be and RDS version but, unfortunately, I can't launch it as it is greyed out the oprion.... any idea?

I have a Toyota Tacoma. Not sure exactly what head unit I have and it looks different then yours. But the hidden menu opens when I start the truck then hold down the "Audio button" while turning on and off the headlights 3 times.

the only thing i figured out is that the Extra Settings menu has two passwords ...123456 which open some features and 8888 which open User Settings.
is it possible that there is a third password that will lead to the Factory setting Menu ?

Jac / Sehol E10X Android Head Unit any info

My JAC E10X has this stereo, It is android based but nowhere in the menus I can find more info.
Does anybody know anything else about it?
It uses the app CarbitLink EasyConnection to mirror the phone but I find it very limited. I would like to know if I can enable or sideload android auto (according to JAC it does not support it)
Are you sure it's android?

Yes, sometimes when I turn on the car the display shows an android asking for a password. It happens seldomly but I will see if I can take a picture of it.

Junsun V1 Pro - custom development

Currently I try to build an app which uses the native C libraries to read data from the MCU. If this works it will open a new dimension of custom app development.
Currently I try to read which SWC button was pressed. In this first aproach I focus on SWC without can box but I think it would be adaptable for can, too.
Please let me know if that sounds interesting for you and if you are willing to try a test app on your head unit.

I attached a test app to first post.
Start the app and its button. Then press a button on your steering wheel (e.g. volume) and see if "key: 0" changes to something else.
I've tried it on every button but the value doesn't change. It stays at 0.

Did you also tested one of the buttons on the left of the device itself? Would be interesting to know.
I'm not sure if it's not working because can follows another logic...

Attached apk opens a can and SWC related activity of Junsuns MainUI application. You may want to test what they're hiding from us...
Unfortunately I can't try myself because I don't use can box - as you already know.
I'll give both a try later and will reply.

Because it is programmed that way in canbus or memory orf head unit.
(root directory - one that you don't see - device must be rooted for super access or engineer mode, then download some file manager from play store and go inside root directory find and edit file responsible for SWC)
You can edit or copy paste or write on root directory a new file.
Even if you can edit it is encrypted or coded for access.
All things can be imported (buttons phisycal of device , SWC, random integrated apps etc.) as a file or number of files into device memory or thru import button on factory settings.

Nevertheless the C library should provide us different values. 0 means no information and editing such a file will not help in current case/investigation.

Double checked on my phone: It creates an icon called "Equipment Settings".
For the test I downloaded the apk here from XDA. So it seems to be OK.
Had you time to test this?
