I've only had two issues with the bluetooth. In one case it took forever for an OBD2 adapter from ebay to connect (No name), and some times it would not, and another obd2 adapter from ebay (A Viecar) would not connect at all. It could see the Viecar adapter, but it could never get it to work. The Viecar did not work with my Samsung tablet either, so it may have been a faulty adapter. In both cases I could get it to pair with the devices, but it would display no data in either torgue or dash command,

I bought an OBDLink name brand adapter, and it works perfectly and connects within seconds. Also the OBDLink adapter gives more accurate readings on the dash displays than the ebay one that I was able to get to work. They always showed a low 13 volts for voltage for the car, which would mean a failing alternator. When the correct voltage should be 14+ volts which the OBDLink adapter shows.

Also, the OBDLink adapter works with Dashcommand and torgue.

This is the one I bought that works perfectly if anyone is interested.

Give Kingroot a few more tries. It sometimes takes several attempts to get it to work.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
wow, that one looks expensive - i see it for $50... i bought the $3 one from china via ebay "Super Mini OBD2 OBDII ELM327 v2.1 Android Bluetooth Adapter Auto Scanner Torque", and it has been working just fine with my car unit & phone...
[Android Head-Units] BiliTheAxe:
The question I would ask is, how accurate is the info it gives?

I have owned several android head units and several different ebay obd2 adapters. All of the ebay adapters I have owned showed the incorrect voltage for the vehicle. Even in the cases where they seemed to work fine with that unit.

Accurate data from an obd2 adapter is vital to accurately diagnose issues with a car, so spending a few extra bucks on a name brand, is not a waste of money by any means.

I just think it is better to pay a bit more now, and possibly avoid paying more later from a misdiagnosed problem.

Also, none of the ebay adapters I have owned ever worked with Dashcommand, and it is even better than torque. Dashcommand requires more precise data than the ebay adapters can put out.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
the info. looks pretty accurate to me, although i don't have much other reference... the battery voltage shows around 14V when the engine/alternator is running. i'll try dashcommand soon, hadn't heard of it previously, looks interesting - and maybe post a picture of it. i agree you often get what you pay for, but sometimes not.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
I tried dashcommand, had to sideload it since it didn't show in play store on the head unit for some reason (thanks apkextractor).

Seemed to work fine although I couldn't see all the same info I was able to see from torque, eg voltage was missing.

Love the look, but it's evaluation only lasts 30 minutes.

I have pics but not sure how to post them as they're large.

Hi fyid, can you give me some points on this and which firmware file I need to download for my unit?

Processor Type: QuadCore-R16 1.6G

Android Version: 4.4.2

I don't have the play store, I've tried to install manually the apk but when running the play store app it just pop up and shuts off, hoping to fix that in a firmware update. :)

BTW - How do I upgrade my firmware? is there a link or youtube?

Thanks,

Benny
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
each unit might be a bit different, so you really need to get the firmware from your reseller - its likely they have a version with the play store. they should have instructions also, my seller sent me a link to both and it was pretty easy. the process was just unzipping a file onto a usb drive, plugging it into the head unit and holding a button while pressing the reset button, as far as i recall.

Bluetooth Tip

Hi, I believe that the bluetooth did not autoconnect as expected. But I have since discovered that the autoconnect only occurs at startup time. So my apologies if this has been stated elsewhere:

Turn on your bluetooth before starting the vehicle or restart the Head Unit. It will autoconnect if you have the bluetooth on prior to the android boot.

thanks

My new head unit-Resolution oops

I picked up one of these on EBAY..like a dummy I was messing around in the settings and changed the screen resolution. Fortunately with a little trial and error I was able to fix it. It wasn't easy, but only took about 30 minutes to fix it. When the resolution changed touching the screen didn't register where you could see it. I just managed to get back into the Extra settings, enter in the password and change the resolution back to the original.

QuadCore-R16 1.6G

Android 4.4.2

MCU - 5.3.17-1-10-610101-151112

System Version

4.5.3_20151027

DVD Version

2.13.15-860mc-150417

h ttp://r.ebay.com/LfmGYV

Now, I don't like the resolution in the android screens or DVD playback Aspect Ratio. The screen looks stretched. It doesn't appear that the software is making use of the devices native resolution. I did see one of the fixes was for making applications fit on the screen that wouldn't before. Would that also apply to the android menu's? How about for DVD playback? it's stretched also and there didn't appear to be an adjustment in the default DVD player. Is it possible to get different apps you think?

Also the stock FM radio application is pretty funky. If I accidentally bump the AS button it clears out all of my saved stations and starts searching for new ones. That happen to others also?

If I have to live with this I can, but if updating the software on it could fix it, I'd consider it.

I have a same bluetooth issue with you.

Did you fix it?
[Android Head-Units] sambacha:
I believe mine was a hardware issue (the seller also said it's hardware and agreed to send me a new bluetooth board for free).

I ended up opening the unit, pressing gently on the bluetooth board and reinstalled everything again (the bluetooth board is installed tilted towards the case for a reason I think although it doesn't come in contact with it - there is an exposed line of the bluetooth antenna in the board that comes very close to the case (which is ground) but I really don't know what that does).

As soon as I put everything back together everything worked. I could see bluetooth devices and connect to them (I'm just shocked that the bluetooth audio quality is better than when files are copied to the unit itself).

Now, in your case, in the bluetooth app do you see a device name / pin / auto connect and auto answer already selected? If you see those it means you have selected the right device in config (BC8 or BC6). Everytime you change this setting remember to fully restart the unit (for me I have to switch the car off, wait 10 seconds, then switch it back on).

If nothing shows then it's either you have selected the wrong device or your bluetooth is completely gone and needs to be replaced.

The bluetooth app is just an interface that connects to the stack. If it can't see the device then most likely reinstalling the apk won't help (I have noticed that it's the same bluetooth apk in many of these units btw).
[Android Head-Units] aguea:
Yep, it worked, iq navi 0.1.24 on my D90-610 :cool:
[Android Head-Units] coolnchic:
First of all, thank you for your reply.

When I checked BC8, I can see device name / pin / etc.. that means mine is BC8, right?

Then I don't need to try to check and uncheck all the combinations?

I don't think mine is not a hardware issue. Because bluetooth had no problem until I install IQ Navi.

And someone who had symptom exactly like mine reinstalled Factory firmware and he succeeded bluetooth back.

So I came to think it's bluetooth software problem like bluetooth app, library or something.

I don't know about software. So I don't know how to figure it out now.

A backup method

Hi to all.

I received my audio car system two days ago and after to read all post haven't seen any backup method.

I did a raw backup (bin) of the partitions yesterday and I'm writing how to...

We needs:

- Android rooted

- An app terminal emulator

- Around 2 GB free in SD. (if u haven't installed a lot of thing XDD)

- Optional: looking for Allwinner Partition table (I can't post link yet) :(

To Backup:

1. Start TERMINAL EMULATOR

2. Execute Superuser: su

3. Go to partition directory: cd /dev/block/by-name

4. Copy to SD Card:

dd if=boot of=/extsd0/boot.img bs=4096

dd if=bootloader of=/extsd0/bootloader.img bs=4096

dd if=env of=/extsd0/env.img bs=4096

dd if=data of=/extsd0/data.img bs=4096

dd if=misc of=/extsd0/misc.img bs=4096

dd if=recovery of=/extsd0/recovery.img bs=4096

dd if=system of=/extsd0/system.img bs=4096

dd if=private of=/extsd0/private.img bs=4096​

END ;)

Also I have done a small power supply circuit for the camera, directly of the radio conector, if anyone are interested I publish how.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
very cool - thanks for posting. it wouldn't backup the MCU or DVD or other firmware, correct?
[Android Head-Units] sambacha:
That means you have BC8, correct.

The original bluetooth apk can be found in the russian site I believe. But why don't you flash the original firmware first and test? Because the bluetooth app is the exact same and won't change.

[Android Head-Units] D3LTA:

[Android Head-Units] fyid:

Fixed soft bricked android head unit

Hello All,

I just soft bricked my unit yesterday and today I am back up and running. I wanted to share how I fixed it so others will not have this trouble. This worked because I had the car logo pop up and then it went black. So I knew there was still a ghost in the machine.

1) Have Unit off

2) Have a USB (NOT A SD CARD IN THE SD CARD SLOT, YOU CAN HAVE THE SD CARD IN A CONVERTER BUT HAS TO BE IN THE USB INPUT) with a compatible firmware loaded on the USB

3) Turn unit off

4) Press the "MENU" and "POWER" button at the same time and hold until you see UPDATE START

5) Release both buttons

6) Wait until update complete

7) Restart car

8) Fix Resolution size

Boom! Done and Done

Hello, I bought a Peugeot 208 head unit, quad-core r16, Android 4.4.2, 5.3.18 MCU. All works right, but I cannot use canbus to trigger the reverse camera. If I put reverse gear, nothing happens. Have you got some suggestion? Seller doesn't help... Thank you
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
run a wire from the reverse light to the "reverse" wire on the head unit?
[Android Head-Units] CamilloCorleone:
Sure, but I would prefer a less "invasive" solution. What I thought is: if I don't have a camera (as it was and it is, because I only tried it a week after I installed the HU), is correct that when I put reverse it does nothing, I don't want to see a black no-signal input; logically, if I have a camera, I want to see its output. If we put this two situations together, maybe there is a switch somewhere to enable the auto-trigger and I didn't see it. :) Do you know something about it?
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
sorry, no - mine is hooked up to the reverse light/wire, which works great. you have to run a wire for the camera from the rear, so one more for the reverse light (+5V i think) doesn't hurt much.
[Android Head-Units] joseag1969.jg:
You could connect your reverse signal lead to power 12v with a switch in series. The switch would make the Hu think that it is in reverse when closed.
[Android Head-Units] CamilloCorleone:
Ok thank you all. So there is only this way... I'm upset, because all the other canbus decoder functions work well (open doors, car settings, bsi fuel consumptions, etc.).
