Hi!

I have an identical HU.

In my HU screen with a blue stripe, Irene sent a replacement.

While I was working with the HU on the table. I use a piece of wire instead of the antenna. Analog audio is connected to the amplifier.

I tried 3 firmware: stock v4.5.9, modified IQ Navi v1.2.4 and from 4pda-forum (DF software v4.5.9).

They all work about the same. Differences in the design and the number of applications.

However, IQ Navi gives you access to more device settings and has preinstalled root-access.

I have installed the firmware from the USB-stick by Settings->General->System Update->USB.

All installed applications are preserved me, in some settings reset to defaults.

Described you not had problems. Maybe in the car antenna is not receiving power?

There are settings in the HU. Or plug is not coming 12V from HU 12V (blue-white wire, pin 85 on HU and pin 19 on connector A).
[Android Head-Units] D3LTA:
I dont know the exact brand, bought it off eBay but its working with naviq firmware and had mcu Version 5.3.18
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
Thank you mgulbis and D3LTA for your feedbacks

I've tried with an external antenna and I have always the same result. No sound at all. When your antenna isn't connected to the 12V you have at least a white noise. In my case nothing and Sygic is getting mutted as soon as I switch to the radio tuner..

I will try IQ Navi, expecting I can access to more sound or radio settings.

Irene sent me a new IC :confused: Let see what is the IC and how to replace it. I'm not good at fine soldering :cyclops:

A video with my tests (white noise come from recording not from the radio)

https://youtu.be/sJLUlUOtmgM
[Android Head-Units] BiliTheAxe:
It sounds like the radio software is set on mute.
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
Yes indeed. How to change the setting? Even the reseller were not able to find a solution :p

With my other HU I have a setting panel for that
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
just a stab in the dark, but maybe the "full format" firmware would help? (search the forum)
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
Just try IQ Navi and I must say this interface is really nice and is working nicely. Even the music application is much better than the native from Infidini. I could, for a daily use, avoid using Poweramp. Only the search function is missing. iPhone is pairing without any issue and address book synchronized at the first try. The radio side stayed without any improvement :crying:. I saw there are much more setting options but nothing to set sound input (as per my picture above).

I will read a bit more about "full format"
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
In the end, I've risk to install this firmware from this forum.

Everithing works!!!! I'm surpising... But in all screens I'm receiving a message that says "UI unauthorized, please contact the supplier"

Any idea?
[Android Head-Units] Hisma:
so those of you with these units can confirm that the iq navi firmware works? I will give it a shot today and confirm.
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
Works with my HU. I was a bit afraid before switching, but I really enjoy the clean design and new features: customizable application color, default application setting, Information of the song over the front application (e.g. GPS) by each change ...etc
[Android Head-Units] dud89:
For those on the IQ Navi firmware. Is it possible to install SuperUser or another root software? I rooted with Kingroot but would rather replace it with something else.
[Android Head-Units] Powderman:
Legend1977, I did the same thing and now I have messed up video. Could you explain how you managed to get it reset back to original resolution or maybe someone can help me get back to factory setting . Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Hisma:
Thanks for the feedback. With so many users reporting positive results I decided to upgrade my firmware as well. It went perfectly smooth. Haven't played with it much yet but I have read about the improvements it brings so I'm glad I did it. It did default to Russian language so took me a minute to figure out where to change back to English. Just a minor inconvenience
[Android Head-Units] danknasty:
I been following this forum for a while and it just occurred to me I might not be in the right place is this head unit considered part of this discussion?
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
I've this unit. Is different but is the same. I don't know how to explain.

I've install this forum firmwares and works, but a message appears "unauthoriced UI..."

Be carefull... I've discover that with the 1280x480 resolution there are a lot of incompativility with apps. Not google maps, not google music, and more and more.

Any idea about how to solve it?
[Android Head-Units] markastor:
Hi!

I just bought a unit like this (10.2 inch for Focus II).

But how can I add bluetooth devices? At bluetooth its seems paired, but it doesn't.
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
Hello,

Somebody know hw to solve my 2 problems?

1: "UI unauthorized, please contact the supplier" this happen when I install firmware from this forum.

2: inpossible to install Google maps, or google play music...

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
No answers? :(
[Android Head-Units] mgulbis:
1. Replace file /system/priv-app/com.tw.service_a5a4.apk from previous firmware.
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
But I'm not root. I can't root my system :(
[Android Head-Units] mgulbis:
Sorry, but i don't know another way to solve your problem with "UI unauthorized, please contact the supplier". Why you can't root your system? Try Kingoroot.
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
When I try to install kingroot installation fails. I think Kingroot is one of the corrupt app :(
[Android Head-Units] mgulbis:
Kingoroot
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
Ups, Kingoroot is different? I thought it was a typo.

I'll try. Thank you very much!
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
Thank you very much!

With Kingoroot eveithing is OK (unroot when restart but is OK) I delete the unauthorized problem and install GMaps. :laugh::good:

Next step:

I've install and reinstall a lot of apps, firmwares (testing because my HU is different maker, very extrange) and I'll like to make a WIPE, but (I think always is a BUT in my hgeadunit) I can't enter to recovery mode on my headunit. The buttons are touchpannel buttons, not physical buttons, so I can't enter to recovery...

Any idea of how can I Wipe all to make a clean installation?
[Android Head-Units] mgulbis:
Put 2 firmwire files on USB-flash (into root directory, as for firmware update), connect USB-flash to HU, connect pin KEY1 to ground and press Reset.

I'm russian. Sorry for my very broken english.
[Android Head-Units] Marchombre:
Hello guys,

I bought this head unit that is made for my car, which seems like a no name Tonghai Head unit to me :

aliexpress.com/item/Top-Quad-Core-Android-4-4-Car-Radio-for-Renault-Duster-With-Mirror-Link-16GB-Flash/32584501678.html

It was made for my car so normally everything should be compatible, including all the harness

There are some wires not used yet, and I'd like to know if they are usefull. Here are pictures of my harness :

FIRST HARNESS :

What is the "ACC" red cable on the first harness ?? Translating what is written in Chinese says "Ignition control line". My unit powers just fine without it. Or is it used for powering on accessories ? Like radar, camera, ... Is it there because it's a generic harness, but is useless on my car ?

What is the "BACK" pink cable ? Translating Chinese i get : Rear view camera control. Is it there to tell my head unit that the reverse light is on, to power up the camera when in reverse ? Because there is also a "REVERSE" cable on the second harness. Redundant maybe ? Should I use both ?

There is a "LAMP CONT" orange cable. translation : "Light line control". I know that it is normally used to dim the screen brightness at night. But my second harness has a Pin specific to my manufacturer. It connects itself to two cables, one of which is the cable that gives the information whether my lights are on or not. So why is there the LAMP CONT cable ? Actually, this function doesn't work so I think I'll have to use that orange cable. Or maybe I missed some settings in android ???

SECOND HARNESS :

There is a KEY1 brown cable. Since I have a Pin specific to my Can bus, it should be useless, right ? If I understood well, KEY1 and KEY2 wires are used for wheel control.

There is a AMP-CON blue/white cable, but I have a built in amplifier, so I guess it is useless.

There is a PARKING orange/black cable. I think it is used to restrict the head unit features if you are not parked (impossible to read video, etc). I read that sometimes, just connecting it to the chassis of the head unit is enough. Is that true ?

There is a RADAR-IN white cable. Any info on this one ?

Finally, there is an orange REVERSE light. I'm wondering if it starts special features when putting the reverse gear, like shutting down the sound, switching to video imputs if there is any...

My seller didn't have any manuals for this head unit, except something very basic for setting up android... If anybody has something about wires... So far I found a good website about it, but I'd like to know if you guys have any specific info for Tonghai units.

PS : website is

[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
When I do this, is the same as Sistem update from android menu, not clear installation, mi files and apps continue there...
[Android Head-Units] mgulbis:
I do not understand - what do you want from a clean install?

Unnecessary application can be uninstalled, the application data can be deleted.

This is all done by means of Android.

What is it you do not like?
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
I'll like to wipe all. To make a new install of all.

Or any app to delete all info and installed apps to keep as original.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
does "factory reset" from the settings work?
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
I think that factory reset delete files and installed apps. But doesn't make a wipe on "/"
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
My unit didn't have accessibility services in the settings app. Is there a way to turn it on? I did root the device, but it is still not in the settings menu. Any ideas on how to correct this? Some of the apps I want to use (Autovoice) work better with accessibility enabled.
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
I am glad you gave it a try! I want to give it a try, but I am scared that I won't be able to recover my system if it something goes wrong. I have the 9" screen version that only has USB ports (no accessible SDcard). Has anyone with this setup given it a try? I don't have the hardware buttons to reset if I need to.

Can you tell me more about the improvements over stock version?
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
I have an HU 9" without physical buttons. So IQ Navi should work as well for you.

Improvements:

Better music app integration

Root

Clean design

Notification of the audio and radio FM over front application

Full customizable color for all natives application

Setting of each application button to the application of your choice

I've tried to assign Poweramp as main music player and it is starting when I press the audio button, but Poweramp is not responding to the SWC :crying:. What I'm doing wrong?

Today In Madrid it is really hot (more than 35ºC) The HU is working with lot of lags (notification are coming late and switching between audio and video is really painful). I don't know whether it is because of IQ Navi or it is a matter of the HU without any cooling fan in the back side.

I'm still working to get sound with radio FM.

I've received from my seller a tiny IC. It is the audio one. Is so tiny that I don't feel confident to change it. Only to remove the old one, I see only risks to burn some components. Furthermore, the sound is not an issue with any applications, but only with the radio FM.

I'm looking to check the sound level of the radio FM audio channel. With other HU brand that can be done in the Factory settings (See attachment). How can have access to that settings?
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
Hello everibody.

I've installed IQ Navi on my equipment and I receive this message when restart:

"System UIDs Inconsistent, UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need wipe your data or your device will be unstable"

My system doesn't have TWRP or any recovery, I don't have phisical buttons so I can't enter to recovery.

Any way to make a wipe all from Android? I'm ROOT thanks to Kingoroot. Or is possible to install TWRP?
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
Thank you for the response! Wow, Madrid is HOT!!! We're not too far from that temperature. I think it hit 35 degrees here too. I noticed mine gets hot too. We may have to add a fan.

A few more questions

1. Do you know if the FM radio problem is common? Is AM working for you?

2. If I switch to IQ Navi, is it difficult to switch back to stock? ( i have the firmware from my last upgrade)

3. I primarily want the music app. The IQ Navi apps looks very nice. Is it available alone an apk that I can install?

4. Are accessibility options available in the settings menu?
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
I bit the bullet and gave it a try on my Seicane 9". Worked perfectly (including Radio). I didn't expect this to be so easy. I thought it was going to wipe my apps and settings. Instead everything was perfect!
[Android Head-Units] sambacha:
I noticed IQ Navi no longer provide updates to public. On their website they are asking people to bring them the head units to be flashed. That's a pity.
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
1. I didn't find any similar issue on the web. It seems that I'm the only one with this issue. AM is working the same way. Stations are found and stored but no sound. (this issue is not linked to IQ Navi)

2. Is it really that easy to update through the setting menu.

3. I don't know really if the apk can be installed out of the system

4. Can you develop your question?

Today I found a bug in the Music app. The backward button is not working (digital neither with SWC): The previous song is not shown, instead the current song is displaying with title and Album Unknown (Usual when the music app doesn't find any directory). Forward button is working as expected.

I will try with another USB media, with less music.
[Android Head-Units] wigglitz:
Hello,

I hope this is the appropriate thread for the unit I have just purchased (I have attached pictures if anyone would be kind enough to let me know)

I've tried searching through this forum and others, but could't seem to find any definitive answers. I apologize if I am asking a lot of questions :(

If I am in the right place IQ Navi should work right? If so I think that might knock off a few of these questions of mine.

I was wondering:

1. Has anyone attempted to install/use a version of Xposed without issues for these types of units? I would love to be able to use the disable full screen keyboard mod plus a handful of others.

2. My unit has no physical power button or any way to perform a soft reboot within the UI. Might there be a key combination that could accomplish this on the unit?

3. I came from a MTCB unit using a Malaysk custom ROM. I found that the 9 EQ app with the "Loud" switch was pretty great. Now, this current unit only has the 3 bass/mid/treb along with three "F" settings along with them. I can't seem to fully grasp how these "F" settings work together with the main 3 settings. I was able to tune the settings on my old unit with no problem and got some great overall sound from it. Would anyone be able to help me understand how these might work along with the "Loud" setting?

4. Has anyone else experienced a slightly deep "pop" from the speakers sometimes when the unit is waking up from sleep or just starting the car? It doesn't seem to matter if the volume is all the way down or off.

5. I have the 1024x600 version. I have read not to change the resolution from the settings option on the unit. But some random things like widgets/some apps seem to have very tiny text while others don't. Or some sections of widgets are kinda disproportionate with the text and/or image (Spotify widget for example). Aside from the stock resolution changer, would a 3rd party DPI changer cause similar issues? Or is would it be okay to change individual apps/widgets DPI?

I am sure I have other questions, but I should probably stop rambling... Thank you in advance if anyone can help answer even just 1 or 2 of my questions. :)
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
I win!

I go to System/devapps and delete kingroot. Not more error!!!!
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
How do you enter in recovery mode? I'm just curious how to do it without physical buttons

Not sure you have an Allwinner. Do you have a menu Extra or Factory setting in settings?
[Android Head-Units] wigglitz:
Hi :)

Yeah. I have the extra setting in settings. All the passwords to enter that and to turn on debugging listed here worked on my unit.
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
I didn't enter to recovery.

As root, I deleted all the crashed apps folders from "data/data/" and "/system/priv-app/" then restarted.

No more "System UIDs Inconsistent, UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need wipe your data or your device will be unstable"

I'm really happy with the IQ Navy room, it's amazing.
[Android Head-Units] txesin:
You can use secure settings with tasker to enable or disable the accesibility services available[emoji106]

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5 mediante Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
With Extra settings, that is probably an Allwinner ;)

Good to know, thank you for your feedback

Can you explain how to do that? I would like to hide Extra settings, since they are not password protected with IQ Navi, I'm a bit afraid that someone can mess up my settings :rolleyes:
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
I did try it and I got an error that Settings had crashed. :(
[Android Head-Units] wigglitz:
Hi Remiguel,

Thank you for letting me know. I installed CPU-Z and it seems like you're right. Although I am still having a hard time understanding with the information CPU-Z states my unit has.

Allwinner A23 1.63GHz

4x ARM Cortext-A7 @ 1.63GHz

But then it says my model is "QuadCore-R16 (astar_y3)"

Is this still the correct thread for my Android Unit? Everything that was posted in the guides here like rooting/passwords/backing up the original ROM has worked for me. Or does this just mean that IQ Navi would not work for me? I apologize for asking so many questions. I still cannot find any %100 reliable information for my unit. I am struggling a little bit with all of the A23/A7/A9/R16 lol.

I have attached a few more pictures. For anybody that is willing to help me find my home in these forums among all of these variations :(
[Android Head-Units] wigglitz:
Well.... I am way too impulsive and just flashed IQ Navi on my unit. Surprisingly it treated it pretty much like a update/dirty flash. My launcher/apps/settings are right as I left them. I haven't seem to run into any issues with FCs or lagging. Now my unit just runs way faster, and I finally have back a good EQ app that makes my sound system sound even better than my first Android MTCB with with 9 EQ bands. This unit blows my factory RNS-315 out the water in every way. And for a tiny fraction of what that ridiculously overpriced junk goes for. My Dynaudio package now sounds how it truly should have from the factory... Thank you for the help and hints that got me going.

[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
Is possible to change the default music player for PowerAmp?

On default I can't easily browse my music, play all, things like thats...
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
It was also my impression that IQ Navi brings a better sound quality level. My HU is still with an excellent sound shape and better with Viper FX. The only issue i'm facing now is the Music App. The Music app has becoming time after time laggy to start. Once fully started The sound is excellent and music is changing without any lags. Backward has stopped working :(. Maybe it is just to flush a memory or reset audio app preferences. Until now I didn't find any solution. I've tried also with a fresh formated USB memory.

For that reason I start again to use Poweramp. Once the Music app is stopped, SWC is working with Poweramp. IQ Navi allows to set Poweramp as default music player. Viper settings are "Embedded" in Poweramp.
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
It's nice to know that I can make Poweramp the default. So I don't need ViperFX if I use Poweramp?
[Android Head-Units] Remiguel:
With the regular firmware Poweramp was working with SWC natively. Now with IQ Navi Poweramp can be selected as default and SWC works only when Music app is totally turned off

ViperFX is not necessary but increase the sound quality (just my feeling)
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
I gave it a try before, but I couldnt' figure out how to stop the visualizations. I only want to see album cover on the screen. Does anyone know how to stop the visualizations?
[Android Head-Units] Txori82:
Where is the menu to select poweramp as default on IQ Navi? I dont see it...

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] wigglitz:
Also, just in case anyone was wondering/wasn't sure. I have installed the the Stable 2.6.1 version of Xposed while I was at it too. So far everything has been completely stable. No loss in performance and all modules are working as intended (Like "Disable Full Screen Keyboard" which I had missed soo much...). I am just reporting my results. I can't %100 assure that someone else won't run into any issues. Thank you all for posting your experiences and information so far. I do hope that this continues to grow and allows more options to open up for us.
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
That is great! What other xposed modules are useful in the car? I was planning on adding XPOSED OK Google for 3rd Party module so that I can say "Ok Google" from any page. I need to figure out a way to pause music or decrease volume of music because sometimes its just too loud to interact.
[Android Head-Units] samm000:
Hi,

Can someone help me out?

How can i push notification from my iphone to the radio?

Cheer
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
Use an older version of Pushbullet that has notification mirroring between android device. Version 15.8.4 has it. Be sure to uncheck auto-update for the Google Play Store or it will update to the latest version.
[Android Head-Units] samm000:
And this one works with iPhone?
[Android Head-Units] hgupta:
Doubt it. Apple plays on its own field by itself.
[Android Head-Units] JoeNorton93:
Hi,

This is my first post on the forum but I have read through this thread from the start.

I fitted my head unit yesterday, system version 4.5.9

Today I have flashed the 1.24 IQ Navi Rom as I was not 100% satisfied with the stock rom, h was having some small issues with the EQ and radio apps.

I have flashed the rom and now unfortunately my Wifi will not turn on.

When I press the toggle the message still appears "to see available networks, turn wifi on".

Could someone please suggest the best course of action as I really want to get my unit back up and running ASAP.

Many Thanks

Joe.
[Android Head-Units] JoeNorton93:
I have managed to resolve the issue by installing a stock rom. Version 4.5.10, I found a download for it on the Russian forum. It works as the original rom did but now there is a water mark on the screen saying "unauthorized UI" does anyone know how to remove this?

Also now I am back on the stock rom I would like to share my original snagging list to see if I can resolve any or the tiny issues that bug me. Don't misunderstand me, I'm a massive fan of this unit, I'm just trying to get the perfect set up.

1: The stock radio app launches on start up to white noise. I would like to have it so a default radio station can be selected when the unit starts or make it so the radio doesn't launch on start up l.

2: The equalizer does not store my settings. This is very frustrating as I have to redo them every time I start the car.

3: The bluetooth app will not pair with my ODB adapter, it can find it but says pair failed when I select it, the adapter pairs with my phone.

I would be very grateful of anyone could help me try and resolve some of these issues.

Thanks

Joe
