Anyone knows how to make the video out work for headrest video screens ? I connected the cables from Video out 1 to my screen , no image received from the main unit when I playing move .

Another questions, how do I change igo voice to the one can read street name ? I changed it in the setting but can't save the setting, it kept going back to the default one

Thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units General] fabien_m2002:
Yes, a kind of siri that i could say "Play [song]" then poweramp launches and plays song
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Sasha0574:
Dunno bout the headrest but the "street name reciting" on Igo depends on having the TTS voices and isn't that dependable... made me laugh my a** off a few times... you can find all you need for it on the gpspower forum anyway ( packs, instructions, and so on)

As far as I know, Android "Siris" are available on GPlay, but I higly doubt their integration goes so far as launching your player of choice and playing your song... Think that is still pretty far out there... at least on these chinese toys... just look at some of the program internal lines translations in their versions of Android and you'll see how far it still is... I mean I saw an "english interpretation" of the "unit needs to reboot" that amused me so much that I changed boot logos a few times only to laugh at it.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] rickthecabbie:
I'll give it a shot in the morning and let you know what i think.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Zermelo:
My unit upon reboot attempts to reload the unit to where it was when shut down, same apps loading up at startup when shut down. Is there a way to disable this feature? The only thing I would like to pick up from where it left off is the music player.

Thanks.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Sasha0574:
What apps would those be more exactly?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Sasha0574:
Anyone tired of their "classical car" logos?

How 'bout these?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Zermelo:
The main one is the phone Bluetooth app. If I use the phone or Bluetooth. Even if I close it and go back to say power amp. When I leave my car long enough for it to fully shut down and start the unit back up, the Bluetooth app will pop back up again. It has also happened with wave and a few others (Torque) as well.

There is definitely something telling the unit to restart the apps that were last in use.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Sasha0574:
Did you consider it might be those programs themselves? I don't use those, though I did plan on getting Torque, but I do remember some apps are set to start with the system, and stands to reason they should have some "switch" to tell them not to. Try the programs' own settings.... Just saying...
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Sasha0574:
Something's moving...

A small heads-up from the Joying site:

"JOYING promise can offer the android 5.1 lollipop upgrade for android head unit hardware and software just for JOYING customers. That these updates are only for Joying head-unit’s running the Android Operating System and will cause problems when applied to other brand head-units."
[MTCB Android Head Units General] jbleasdale:
That is indeed good news. Enough for me to get on and place an order for one now :)

I soldered my external microphone direct to the blurletooth module today, & cut the PCB track as in the early post in this thread. Here's hoping the BT quality will be a bit better!

I also added a Wifi antenna to one of the unused sockets next to the gps ant. Signal seems much better from in my garage to the house.

Let us know how you go and can you post into the hardware mods so that we can keep a track of successful ones..

I need to do this myself and it will be kinda a first for me doing a soldering exsersize..

Not that it bothers me as play with housing electrics and build houses so doing a small job like this shouldn't be a problem..

But it is good to know if it is still a good workaround to do..

Bloody stupid of the manufactures to let this slip.. But after 5 years working in China myself..I kinda know how it can happen.. A room full of engineering and no one picks it up and or picks it up but is too scared to tell anyone.due to the "lost of face'.. So now.. It's a bigger loss of face as people think these are ****ty units due to one small problem..

Otherwise, mine is going well..loving it..

Tested out my mic mod today: its a massive improvement! There is still a low pitched hum/interference evident in the transmitted audio, but it doesn't interfere with the clarity of the voice on the call at all. Certainly not the worst bluetooth hands free I have ever used. This is using the included mic btw which I assume isn't the best quality. Pictures are at the following link (mic mod & Wifi antenna rp-sma mod). Anyone feel free to add them to any faq/tutorial.

One thing I forgot to photograph was where I cut the mic trace on the PCB near to the Bluetooth board. I used a dremel with a small engraving head to grind the track away.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] dgcruzing:
Nice, as time permits will have a go as it seems easy enough..

What I want to know and I am sure it has been discussed is why we have to do this and why not the Chinese engineers didn't find a fix before pushing these units out.

While I take my hat off to them for pulling this piece of equipment together, fundamental things like Bluetooth working out of the box 100% is a deal breaker that will put them in or out of the game for the masses..

Already I know people around me that would buy one but won't due to the Bluetooth problem..

I would like to see another fix being generated by them like a add on USB type .. This way it is am easier option for those that have thier units already installed in the car and don't want to pull them out and get all down and dirty with a full on hardware mod.. (Someone can post this to them if they want so they come and read it)..

While I have the box out I might look to the WiFi mod too as I have done this on a few of the first Android TV Boxs that came out and found it made a huge difference.. Not that I am using WiFi much as yet as I teether the phone when ever I want internet connection..

For myself..I am finding off-line GPS works well..so really I don't need to be online with it that often..
[MTCB Android Head Units General] cam80:
I am about to purchase a Carjoying Quad Core 1024*600 Hyundai IX 35 unit and i am concerned about the bluetooth quality as i really need it for phone calls. If i plug my phone into the USB port on the car can i make and receive calls through the USB port instead of using bluetooth.

I had hard time to get TTS to work with Igo to pronounce street name. Any tips ? Seems like my device won't accept the change. thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Sasha0574:
TTS on Igo problems go way beyond the unit. They are more related to the Android itself and it's various ways of TTS outputs. Try gpspower and you'll get a better idea about it. It's a forum dedicated to navigation programs.

Hi guys

Has anyone had issues when playing music from Bluetooth and then turning on igo maps the music will stop. Initially when I first installed this unit it was working fine but lately I notied this issue. Don't recall changing any of the settings.

Thanks

How are your mixing settings? In the GPS section that is....

[MTCB Android Head Units General] sukhi_basanta:
I am having the same issue. Any solution? It seems at random. I notice that the volume change with remote control still works, only the physical knob on the device stops working. I am on rooted stock ROM.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] rickthecabbie:
For a software solution on this I selected Front Camera in System Settings and a new app showed up called F Cam.

When opened it will look for a camera on the AV input with a camera icon on the left side of the screen.

When I tapped the camera on the left it switched to the backup camera which I keep powered at all times that the car is on.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Sasha0574:
That is a handy solution, however, as far as a guy at the service told me (and I tend to belive him), these chinese cameras tend to hit the bucket pretty fast if you keep them powered at all times. Plus, one might want to have both a rear and a front cam... sometimes, at least here, a front cam is equaly useful as a rear one...
[MTCB Android Head Units General] rickthecabbie:
I see what you are saying. For my actual front camera I went with a USB Logitech C525 unit which did not require the front camera ticked in System settings. It works well with the built in DVR app and will also let me use Dailyroads for higher resolution. I believe the Front Camera option in Settings is for one of the RCA inputs on the back of the unit. Whatever works for you.:good:
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Sasha0574:
'Course, but that is an option that can only go inside the car, and though it works peachy as a dash cam (also very useful here), won't be much of a help in getting you out of a parking jam or stuff like that. Just yesterday I took my baby to the doctor's and when I got back I found the car completely locked between two idiots which considered that half a meter in front and half a meter behind an Octavia is more than enough to get out. It's a very common habit for the romanians to either occupy two parking places with one car or jam you so good, you need two dozen turns to get out. They must be getting their permitts at some lottery or something...

Edit:... neah, they don't get them at a lottery, they just bribe the examining cops

[MTCB Android Head Units General] joelfrojmowicz:
Hi everyone,

I'm interested on buying a Joying unit for my 2008 VW Passat Variant but I need it to mainly make phone calls using bluetooth. After reading some posts I've found that this unit has some problems with microphone and the quality of phone calls using bluetooth. Is this issue still persists? Do I still have to make the microphone mod?

Do I have any other alternative on having a unit with better quality on hands-free phone calls but still have the same flexibility (or similar) as Joying units for installing software, having a 8" display, connect reverse camera, connect front camera, connect to my car using OBD2, listen/watch digital content and others?

PS: Sorry about my english... I'm from Portugal!

Regards!

I asked the same question a few posts back. Would love an answer as well.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] JoeWilcox:
I don't use the internal mic so I'm not sure, but the external mic that came with mine seems fine. Is it crystal clear no, but I've yet to really find an bluetooth mic solution that is. But it's good enough.

-sukhi_basanta : I have not found a good solution. Turn off Wheel 3 in my factory settings seemed to help but not solved it 100%. I just keep a pin nearby to reboot. Not optimal but works for now.

Hi,

How I can activate the screen lock system ?

Does that disabled ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] nixfu:
1) I agree, bluetooth tethering was one of the things I was wanting to do as well. I am guessing this is because of the way that the bluetooth is not handled directly by the android system but is actually a plugin card strictly designed to do audio/phone in out.

2) I wonder if this could be added. Voice search does work for the web browser etc.. when you are presented with a microphone search option.

3) I believe that Malaysk provides a way to change them to other apps as defaults, and you can setup icons like "My Music", etc that point to your own preferred apps.

4) true

5) I think there is a hack in Malayk's rom to try and remember your saved stations
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Acampbell:
I have the Joying rk3188 1024*600 with all the available options, in a volkswagen variant. I have had this unit about a month and half. I do have the issue of the microphone being bad. I also have a problem with low voltage pre-outs(only an issue if you run aftermarket amps). I'm running malaysk ROM for the "jy" variant. As stated above it adds root access. The main reason I switched to it was to change the factory apps I.e. use Google music(with steering wheel controls) instead of the factory MTCmusic. It is very stable with little to no force closes. I use WiFi tethering from my phone to the headunit when needed.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] SilverS4sAreFaster:
Is there an app or will root access allow me to add or edit the buttons in the steering wheel control menu? I want to make one open the voice control app.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] 2safe4you:
Hello and good morning,

great to find a Forum and this Thread about my CarJoying RK3188 with the 1024x600px.

I'm absolute a newbie on ANDROID Devices.

In the Moment i use the Original Firmware that my Car Unit comes for 2-3 Month.

Modellnummer: 8813H

MCU-Version: MTCB-JY-V2.59 Jun 04 2015 17:13:08

Android Version: 4.4.4_09062015

Kernel-Version: 3.0.36+

Build-Nummer: rk3188-eng4.4.4 09062015 08:56:05

Processor: armv7 1.6GHz (x4)

Ram: 1024MB

I tested my booting time from TURN CAR KEY on POWER up to see the Mainscreen on the Car Unit: 24second

But I HAVE RUNNING A 3G-USB Stick for Internet.

It is a Stick from the Provider: VODAFONE

Producer from the Stick is: HUAWEI Model:K3765 HSPA USB Stick

But i have Problems when you want to hear Music with a USB Stick 32GB and the original Musicplayer APP.

After Some Song it stopped to play the music.

After a while the APP will Shut Down and it say: Path to Music are wrong. Or it happens all USB Devices are UNMOUNTED.

No Music over USB MP3 Files and no Internet over the 3G-USB Stick.

Also not realy cool is that my Favorite NAVIGATION App: NAVIGON not realy running. The turn by turn voice will not come and on the Orange Arrow is a small red arrow.

Maybe the Problem is the Navigon App and Android 4.4.4

Other NAVIGATION Apps will work, but not so cool.

First time i think , the Car Unit has Problems with the GPS Signal, but i found a Android APP that save the GPS TRACK in a File. I checked the same Track with my OUTDOOR GPS from Garmin.

Perfekt Track from my Car Unit. The GPS is not the Problem it must be another thing.

Anybody know, that a new Version on Android 5 is comming or available???

A lot of things are not so cool inside the Radio:

- Mediaplayer APP: Not shown in a MP3 File included COVER, but you see it inside the MAINSCREEN

- Rear Camera: I see no green yellow and red Lines

- GPS Sound from the Voice deviate to much if you hear MP3 oder Mediaplayer or RADIO

- generell Sound off Mediaplayer APP and Radio APP deviate to much

- Radio show after a while the Stationame, but why he not show the RDS Text (not supportet ???)

- some times you can not make Sound louder or quiet. It Stop. But you can Press ist for on/off and Mute. I'm not sure, track forward backward is then also not running

- Nice will be to put OTHER APPS on the Button on the left and right Side (MEDIA ---> KODI)

Greet's

Hi,

does anyone know a way to increase the standby time above 2 hrs? This isn't really long enough, I have a duel battery setup and would prefer to up it to 48hrs.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Restrected:
I ran into that problem. I fixed it as follows.

Settings, factory settings, enter password 126, just the 3 numbers, then go to audio, and increase the system gain to 13. This will give you 4v outs. Its high, but IR removes radiated noise from the RCA's. Because for some idiotic reason everyone uses twisted pair RCA's (balanced) instead of shielded RCA's (unbalanced).

I will explain later in detail. In the emergency room right now.

en"joying"

Just found this thread after probing around for an hour looking for the capacitor to remove to fix the mic buzz... I was just about to cut the lead on the PCB when I saw it's already been done! I opted however to cut the trace on the bottom of the PCB, as was a little bit more accessible. Picture attached. I desoldered the existing mic port and moved it over to the Bluetooth module. Seemed to be working great until I put the case back around it, now the buz has returned. Time to look at a shielded wire and socket.

Good to hear there are others with this puppy. So far, it has been an adventure!

Malaysk recent ROMS work well but Google voice needs to be moved back to the version on carjoying ROM.

What on earth do the video outputs on the back do?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Restrected:
Which rom do you use from Malaysk?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] nixfu:
Yeah I did the top of the board. I was too lazy to take the board out. :)

On these units, the video out jacks are for connecting up any extra monitors like are often installed into headsets etc.. My understanding is that it only output's a video signal when you are playing a DVD on the head-unit, and does NOT mirror the normal display to the Video1 and 2 outputs.

For those of us that have units that do not have DVD players/slots built in, I believe these outputs are useless.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Sasha0574:
As Joe told you, the internal mic does have issues, but you have an external one. Otherwise, the mod is inevitable (for now). As for other units, I dunno. I have a Joying, but judging from what I could read on the threads here, they are pretty much the most active in terms in after sale support, which is pretty important, at least for me. I can atest to that, mine broke down pretty fast, but they sent me the replacement part just as fast and I have no problems with it now. Guess all of them are made pretty much on the same principles, and using similar components, so I doubt you'll find something "better".
