I think so.

I am running now this firmware on my unit V2.9.5_20150513_1024X600_SYSTEM_DZSJ_L_EN on dual core unit

I asked them what is the new firmware for my unit and they send me the above mentioned file.

The reason I am asking because of the version number. A year ago they sent me the v 2.9.5, _DZSJ but now it is suddenly v4.5.3 with TW, it is not what I have expected, I thought 2.9.6. or 2.9.7. and so on.

Does anyone know the difference between DZSJ and TW are they compatible with each other?
[Android Head-Units] dragoescu:
I am running last RedMOD. Previous I was running RedMOD 2.5 and i upgraded to 2.81.

I like the new features (some of them are before 2.81 but none in 2.5):

dim volume (not mute) when switch to reverse gear

activate(optional) front camera video feed after exit from back camera video feed

there are toasts that displays current playing track/radio station

The only problem that I have is that Music app is not seeing my SDCard. Mobi97 suggested to switch internal with SDCard but I will wait for a fix, since I have all my waze and other apps cache and data files on SDCard. If I will switch I will have to reconfigure some apps and I prefer not to.

As the author said, send him a private message and you he will help with archive password. Also, since I am developer I know that these kinds of "mods" requires time. I fully encourage to support his work.

nice, can you share some picture with about screen? What is the "reported" android version? Also where can we download the firmware?
[Android Head-Units] majB:
I am skeptical, i don't like to change alot in the unit if it is totally another design, let alone bricking the unit.

If somebody have the courage or need to test on a spare unit, I will be more than glad to upload the firmware.
[Android Head-Units] dragoescu:
but what is the android version on that firmware? 4.2 or 4.4?
[Android Head-Units] majB:
Honestly I don't know that' s why I am asking. I did not installed the software yet. I need more information about it before I do so.
[Android Head-Units] wanxu:
Agree. I also donated to support his work. I hope he will keep updating the firmware! I would love to see an iPod updated app :D
[Android Head-Units] dragoescu:
btw, ipod app works with iphone6 (with lightning to 30pin adapter)?
[Android Head-Units] wanxu:
I'm sorry, I don't know, I use an old iPod.
[Android Head-Units] dragoescu:
will it work with an ipod 3? I found one functional but the battery is dead (can not be charged).
[Android Head-Units] wanxu:
Yeah, I think so. Actually your battery problem makes it the perfect fit for your iPod! Try it, the iPod app interface is uglier than Music RedMod app, but it has some advantages, like music organization and you avoid internal/external memory problems, the app works like radio app, even before of whole system boots.
[Android Head-Units] StuBFrost:
I think I've lost the plot with this thread.

Who do I need to ask for the latest RedMod and do I now have to pay for it ? I've never used it before so will I be able to try it first ?

[MENTION=7438243]Ilin Alexandr[/MENTION] , another good feature would be Bluetooth Play/Pause widget. /Еще одна хорошая особенность будет Bluetooth Воспроизведение / Пауза виджет.
[Android Head-Units] dragoescu:
[MENTION=5596572]@Ilin Alexandr[/MENTION] :D, is it possible to add a feature to change the amplification for different sources? For example BT playback volume is lower comparing with music app or radio. I thinks this is a MCU setting but it will be great to have it!!!

I am having weird issues with my GPS. Once in awhile it completely loses track of where I am and by that, none of my Map Apps can detect my location, then it will work again but its very sluggish, interrupts the radio, ect. When I disable GPS everything works fine so I know its the GPS. The Antenna is still in the same position it was originally installed in. Does it sound like the Antenna is going bad or does it sound like the Head Unit is going bad?

I'm having issues with touchscreen and bluetooth. At first I installed redmod losing my bluetooth, so I tried to install several versions of firmware losing even the right touchscreen that doesn't work in the center of the display... I tried full format but nothing works. Is there anybody that can solve this problem? I think that it was better if I didn't flash nothing

[Android Head-Units] dragoescu:
:)) that is the password. If you translate the contents of the file you will get Password: .... Of course, the password is in Russian and you will need a software that knows to use Russian characters for password (not to convert them )
[Android Head-Units] wanxu:
I don't know. I would do a factory reset (from settings), then I would install original firmwares, first older ones and then the newest. After that I would try redmod.

[MENTION=1512498]dragoescu[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5825907]Cebulon48[/MENTION] I also donated. It's important to make him know we care.

[MENTION=6863837]Need4Camaro[/MENTION] in my case I can say one thing: if I start the unit and immediately start the GPS it will fail, but if I wait one or two minutes and then I start the GPS app (Igo or Sygic or whatever) the GPS works well. Usually if it starts working it won't fail, but sometimes if it is cloudy it fails a little bit.

By the way sometimes when I boot the unit it, when the launcher is started it takes too long to work. Maybe I can do a video. It is stuck at "mounting cards" or something like that and it gets locked there I don't know why and then it continues like anything happened, but after some minutes. Do you know what could it be? Some service starting on boot or maybe some options?

So has anyone had their head unit start installing malware by itself recently? A friend of mine running 2.7.x from the same source as myself and my head unit running 2.8.8 started downloading a bunch of apps all by itself today. First a porn advertisement popped up and then a bunch of apps including a new locks screen app downloaded, all in a foreign language. My friends symptoms are exactly the same. The only things we have in common are we used Baidu root and bought our headunits from the same ebay seller. Here are some photos of what started installing by itself:

90?[japanese]?

Freebird

(Some [japanese] app with a "1." as the logo)

(Some [japanese] app with a girl sucking on a freezer pop as the logo)

The following error messages also pop up:

"Unfortunately, vzcorehas stopped"

"Unfortunately, Loading has stopped"

""Unfortunately, com.channel.lgy0415 stopped"

Video:

[YOUTUBE]ZUrBNQ-O_yg[/YOUTUBE]

The head unit has become almost unusable now. I did notice it was getting slower and slower to respond to track changes lately even when the wifi was off. I assume the malware was hogging the CPU or something. Now it appears to have unbinded all the function keys except home. I cannot even force it off by holding the power button. It's crazy. I run a tight ship, I don't pirate any apps or install anything outside the play store (except root)... now I get to spend a good 3 hours re-setting everything back up :|
[Android Head-Units] Ackms421:
Yes, this is happening to me also as of a few days ago. It has to be from Baidu root. I bought my unit from Aliexpress, so it's not the unit. I am trying to use Titanium to freeze all the bad programs, but I haven't been able to do this successfully yet. This is really crazy. All of my friends this it's hilarious. Please let me know if you figure something out.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Also, I had updated the unit a while back. I'll get the exact build later today, but I am not able to reset it using "7890." I go to reset, enter "7890" and nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Head-Units] gustavocwb:
My GPS doesn't work anymore too.

I don´t know what could be, I change every available firmware, bought another antenna, did a full format but nothing worked.

I think is probably a hardware fault. If anyone could help me in this problem I will be really thankfull.

Reagards.
[Android Head-Units] striker1211:
I will let you know if I figure something out. I haven't had much free time to sit in my car and play with it. I've just been living with it.

Some things to note:

It keeps turning WiFi on by itself.

It momentarily pauses music that is playing like the audio focus is changing. I wonder if it is trying to enable the mic?

It is blocking the launch of TitaniumBackup (maybe because it asks for root)

If I disable all the applications that are "new" they still come back so I feel this thing is deeply entrenched into the OS of the head unit. It makes me leery that I rooted my cell phone with KingRoot as it is the same kind of chinese company that nobody knows if they can trust.

[UPDATE]

[UPDATE]

So I was right in thinking that the malware had embedded itself as system apps because when I did a factory reset the malware all remained. Only after reflashing 2.8.8 permroot did they disappear fully and was I able to reclaim my storage space. I was also right in thinking the malware did not want you overpowering it and was blocking EVERY app that requested root. Right now I am debating if I even need root. I know I cannot trust Baidu anymore. I had to change my password for my main google account that has all my app purchases on it because who knows what the head unit has been doing in the background. I also noticed the damned thing has been placing files named ".tcookieid" in EVERY folder on my sd card and the internal memory of the unit (including all sub-directories of partition /) . The file creation dates on those files are the day that I connected to wifi and it went haywire. I wish companies would just let us root our devices that we paid for without opening ourselves up to risk. So now I get to go and reconfigure everything and hold off on rooting until I know I need it. I really would like to have cerberus embedded into the devices /system/ but if it means using Baidu I cannot do it.... attached are screenshots from my system.

I've tried to update but every method I try gives me "update failed" message.

I've extracted the files from the rar to my micro SD card as instructed...

Thanks

You need the 2 files 8db... in the root of the card and NOT another card or USB plugged in the device. But "failed" seems that the update files are not correct, not an SD/USB issue.

For what its worth your recovery screen looks nothing like mine. Mine has the car company boot logo on it. If you have ONLY "8e3513e2-ea4a-11e2-8a0f-000c29ba27c0" and "8d8d1b1a-ea4a-11e2-a661-000c29ba27c0" on the SD card (16gb or smaller formatted to FAT32) it should work.

I have the An 21 u installed in my ford expedition. Its rooted and I had updated the software a little while ago.

Ive had use of my steering wheel controls since I got the radio but now they've been acting strange.

My I cant seem to properly map my volume up and volume down buttons. The steering control app only allows me 2 map 1 or the other. It didnt used to do this. Though before there used to be a glitch that happened from time to to where the volume up would turn the radio down. Could it be that this happened when I installed the update and rooted the radio? This was abt 2 yrs ago.

Also, how do I change my radio app back to the blue one?

Anybody have a fix for the inverted touchscreen on the Chinese Android Dvd headunit?

Hi guys

Today my unit suddenly stuck at boot. (android logo)

I've tried to flash some different firmware, to reset, but nothing helped.

Had to make a full format, and now I've managed to flash the 2.7.29 version found in the file repository (http://androidstereo.mobile.eu.org/?dir=firmware

The unit boot normally, then on the main screen I have this red message:

"UI unauthorized please contact the supplier"

Off course everything is working weird or not.

What should I do? my unit is 1024x600, can you point me the firmware supposed to work with it?

Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] dragoescu:
Did you tried to read AN-21U Wiki? There is a solution presented there.
[Android Head-Units] Gus84:
Yes, it seems I have to root my unit?

Ok, but before I need to fix the touchscreen.

I've flashed the 2.9.5 (Kaier) found on 4pda (the 1024x600 one) and my touchscreen is weird.

the screen is out of scale (image too big for the screen) and I can't tap any shortcut.

My unit is supposed to be 1024x600, maybe I'm wrong and I should flash a 800x480 version?

Or maybe that full format wrecked my touch screen
[Android Head-Units] Gus84:
After some testing, I've flashed the good old 2.8.6 and:

-this is definitly a 800x480

-my touch screen is inverted

In response to my issue of loosing sound and the knobs on the face plate not working.

It is a 2 knob universal type with an original MCU 4.3.5-7-10-6501 . It now has a MCU file 4.3.10-19-11-650101.

Hi Friends,

As mentioned above, this Android DVD i bought was for 2013 Model Ford Fiesta and above , whereas mine was a 2011 Model car. Apparently the AN21U Android DVD's are made only for 2013 Model Fiesta's and I could only find Wince OS DVD Players for 2011 Model.

So i purchased the CANBUS decoder of 2011 Wince model to check it with my car. Fortunately the decoder is able decode the can signals. I was able to plug in the +12 volts analog signals to the DVD, but unfortunately the digital signals form the Canbus (for climatic control and door opening warnings ) are not compatible with Android DVD or with its can-bus.

Is is difficult to modify the codes in MCU file? Because if i could replace the 2013 Codes with 2011 Codes and make a new MCU file for Ford Fiesta, it should work like a gem, won't it.

[Note: The MCU Code for Ford Focus model suits the Ford Fiesa 2013 Model, the same goes with Eco-sport too)

I am wondering if someone here already faced this issue and have prepared an MCU for Ford Fiesta 2011 model. Kindly save me, as i have been searching the internet for almost an year now.

Many Thanks,

Shaju Mathew

Hey all,

My AN 21u is about 2 years old. Its the rooted 2 knob version.

I havent had any issues so far, but now, out of the blue my steerijg wheel controls aren't staying set.

Everytime I reset them, they work for a while, then they start working out of order [for examlpe, the volume up will change to the next song and the next track button will work as the "mode" button].

Everything is wired up through the harness for my 2007 ford expedition and I never had this problem before.

Any help?

ETA: im not using a canbus adapter
[Android Head-Units] j2gifted:
Ok so I did a factory reset and made sure all of my connections were tight and all seems to be well.

Now I have 2 new issues...

1. My EQ settings wont stick. Specifically the "Loud" and "Subwoofer" settings.

2. Whenever the radio powers on, in green I see "update start" then "update end"

Any help for this?
[Android Head-Units] dragoescu:
If your car is fiesta eu version these cars and also mondeo and focus does not support clima and door info. This is because the swc are decoded as resistive and not digita can. Search google for resistive swc vs can bus swc. To conclude, all info that these canbus decoders is doing comes from analog input. If you check wiring you will see that canbus decoder is connected to swc+ and ground, not on can+/can-
