All good - pulled the radio out, disconnected power for 5 minutes and then reconnected and the buttons started working again. Even the MCU is reporting the correct version again. Very strange a factory reset or recovery mode didn't fix this, but all is well that ends well!

Hopefully this gives hope to others who are worried they've bricked their units.

Did you get a BMW specific unit or just a generic one? To get info about car you need a Canbus interface which connects to car's systems.

Hi All,

Is there a way to remap CANBUS-based steering wheel controls(SWC) on these units. As far as I know, the remap app/menu only affects resistive SWCs, but I was wondering if this might have changed with IQ Navi or if there is some other way to change the mapping.

Thanks for your help!

OK, I'll answer myself then. I managed to fix faulty wifi by using wifi dongle (usb). Just make sure you buy dongle with RTL8188EUS chipset. It works out of the box.
[Android Head-Units] aukev1971:
I Guess the canbus interface is installed because the steering wheel controls are Working. The unit was already installed by the previous owner when i bought the car.

[Android Head-Units] 1rix17:
SWC does not imply CANBUS interface. Probably at this point your best option is to get an ODBII BT to get some info about the car. I got a $3 one from ebay and works great with Hyundai but not at all with Lexus, so make sure it's good for your BMW.

YouTube colours on this device messed up. For example it shows blue instead of red or the other way around. I tried to disable/enable hardware overlay in the setting and mess around some other video settings but was never able to fix the issue.

GPS Fix

Hello,

I have a 2 din android head unit that seams to fit into this thread and every since i got it it has a huge problem fixing the gps signal, i have used tools recommended on the web and it can see a lot of satellites but doesnt fix a position, and when it does it is pretty unnacurate (i am driving on the freeway and it keeps positioning me on the side roads).

This is the info on my unit, can you please let me know if there is any newest ROM or fix for this problem? Everything else works just fine.

Hi All,

I was able to flash version 0.1.25 (1280x480) onto my HU via Phoenix(PC flash to increase to 6GB of internal memory). It works great!

I have one problem, though. I am unable to use TuneIn: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tunein.player

Each time I start the TuneIn Radio app, the unit goes black, and then the unit reboots. (some sort of conflict crashing the app?)

I have performed a full reset of the unit and I still have this problem (with TuneIn being the only app added). All other apps work perfectly.

Anyone happen to have any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Where did you get Android 6.0 on this unit?
[Android Head-Units] PsomA:
Bought it at the start of Jan and it came shipped with it (literally the week I was investigating it went from 4.4.2 to shipping with 6). Good news is... I pulled the fuse and left it for 15 seconds and it all came back. Surprised a factory reset didn't sort this out?!?

A lot of stuff in Android 6 annoys me though. Wish I had 4.4.2.

Hi Guys,

Can anyone help me to enter recovery mode on my touchscreen android head unit to update/restore the firmware. After saying it successfully updating IQ Navi firmware, my system is stuck on boot logo (tried by-passing using animegod trick) after which I get a blank screen. My last radio channel works in the background.

The RST button just switches off the screen (appears to do it) and I'm back to a blank screen without a recovery menu.
[Android Head-Units] djblaze852002:
I am considering purchasing a Quad Core Unit (I have the original Dual Core version running RedMod). I see now that many of these units are coming with Android 6.0. Does that have any advantages? Will it be no problem to downgrade to the latest version of RedMod for Quad Core? Also I am confused about the instructions on how to flash using PhoenixSuit. Can someone help explain better or point me to directions that are in english and more clear.

My current problem with the dual core model is that it is SLOW. Also it only has a 1GB partition for apps and its full. I am hoping by upgrading to a quad core model and using the phoenix method, I will have a faster machine with a lot more space for more apps. I have been out of the loop for a while so any info is greatly appreciated!
[Android Head-Units] jaackyy:
Does anyone know how to reset a custom steering wheel control? When I first installed the head unit, I was able to set one of my spare buttons to open the bluetooth app. I'm trying to change it to my radio app instead now, but it's not letting me. Does anyone know how I can reset that? My car is a Volkswagen so it has Canbus.

Factory reset did not help either. The steering wheel still opened the bluetooth app afterwards. [It used to do nothing before I installed the head unit and set it to bluetooth]

[Android Head-Units] SparkyRih:
Mine was sold as Android 5.1, it does say 5.1 in the system settings, but when I tap the version number it goes to the KitKat easter egg...

[Android Head-Units] athollj:
What is the name of the original Radio App you are using. I have a similar unit from Seicane, for the Volvo XC90, but there isn't a Radio App installed? They said that it uses the original car radio, I assume as a receiver?
[Android Head-Units] SparkyRih:
The app is just called "Radio" and obviously came pre-installed. The radio has its own receiver, I build it into a 2004 Smart Roadster which had an aftermarket radio, which I obviously took out...

When I turn on the car/radio Android starts its boot sequence, however, the radio does already start playing (while Android still booting, it plays static though since I haven't found out how to pre-set a default frequency, anybody?)...
[Android Head-Units] athollj:
Thanks...I don't think my head unit has a FM/AM receiver. The Seicane guys (responsive but lack quality) said to use my car's original radio? So my assumption is that I need to use my original radio as a receiver and there is an app running on the Android Head Unit that does the RDS, change station etc? Not sure howit connects to the radio (canbus??). It all just doesn't seem right to me:confused:
[Android Head-Units] SparkyRih:
Well, like I explained, my Android head unit appears to have a separate radio built in, which starts playing immediately even though Android is still at the bootloader screen... So your situation could be plausible, but I still find it weird...

CAN-BUS can't carry audio, it could be used for controls that you might have on your steering wheel for example, or to display information on your speedo screen (if your original radio did that), maybe even control other stuff in the car, or the car itself depending on how it's implemented, but that's about what it's for...

It should be in the manual how to connect it... Not?

I keep getting requests to post the instructions to install red mod on here. Does anyone have the instructions to install it so I can stop being bugged?
[Android Head-Units] djblaze852002:
I am trying to figure this out as well. I did a rough scan through the Russian forums and I see that he just released an Android 6-based version of RedMod. The instructions seem to describe using a PC and some software (phoenixsuite) to repartition the unit when upgrading from Android 4 to Android 6 roms. However, I am looking to purchase a new unit that comes preinstalled with Android 6 so I am trying to figure out if I need to go through that step or just install RedMod because the Android 6 partitions will already be set. [MENTION=6766547]pfarley11[/MENTION] seems to have gone through the Phoenixsuite route. Hopefully he can provide some info.
[Android Head-Units] -Ilkka-:
Does this work?

It has minor flaws, but pretty good fm radio.
[Android Head-Units] imableeblob:
Found this for instructions on installing Red mod. Going to try it out now.

http://red-mod.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=46

Edit:

I believe the Phoenixsuite is to override the original firmware to save space for apps. The method I found is not a permanent installation of Red mod. While Phoenixsuite writes over everything. Since I use a micro SD to store my stuff this is no problem for me..

Edit 2#: I was able to update using the method I posted. I did not lose any internal storage space.

I have a Penhui unit relying on the same 'motherboard' (R16-CR105-V4), unfortunately it doesn't have a USB-OTG / USB 'device' port installed at all. If someone has dismantled their unit, could they trace where their usb-otg port goes to? Some of the pinout has already been figured out by the guys at 4pda.ru (see here: https://yadi.sk/i/dXAi7JKsthxCn). My unit has two 'host' ports offered, connected to pins 47-50 on the 'right' side in the spreadsheet.

Not having access to a USB device port / no access to ADB makes things complicated.

[Android Head-Units] imableeblob:
Follow these steps to install the device firmware:

1 - Extract the files from the downloaded archive.

2 - Copy the files:

for MST786 the root of the microSD card (no folders);

for Allwinner R16 to the root of a USB flash drive or microSD card (no folders);

3 - Insert the microSD in slot or connect a USB flash drive.

4 - Go to Settings -> Car Settings -> System Update and run the update.

5 - Wait until the Update is complete.

6 - The device will automatically reboot.

7 - Installing the firmware is complete.
[Android Head-Units] patarock2:
but this aplies also for updating from 4.4 to 6.0 ??
[Android Head-Units] imableeblob:
If you have Android 4.4.X then you need to have that Redmod version. These head units are not meant to be upgraded to newer android versions. I suggest emailing the red mod creator to get the other version. Because Android 6.0 Redmod will not work with a 4.4.X head unit.

Thanks! There's a few pinout differences from my version (I just popped the shield off; turns out mine is a R16-CR105-V5) but combined with some of the russian resources it helps a lot! Managed to find a free usb bus on some unused pins. :D
[Android Head-Units] lodewj:
I have the v5 as wel. Didn't measure since I have the schematic. Does it differ a lot? I would have guessed that the v5 was an improved drop in replacement. So with the same layout. I hope to connect an sdcard reader. My radio doesn't have one. And with the sdcard reader, it would be possible to boot a different image and experiment.
[Android Head-Units] Maeslin:
The SD card reader channels seem to be the same; the partial pinout I got from a russian site is for the v4 but that seems to match what I've tested on the v5.

It'd be awesome if you could get your seller on alibaba to send you the full pinout for the newer version. No need for the whole carrier board like in the pdf you provided, just the board with the CPU itself would be perfect. :D

Hi Guys,

I have flashed version 0.1.25 (1280x480) onto my HU via Phoenix (PC flash). It works great, but I have one minor issue. Every now and then, the 'Shutdown Delay' does not work. About half the time, if I start the car within an hour of when I last shut it down, the HU goes right back to where I was(no boot up). The other half of the time, I could have the car on for much less than an hour, and the HU has to completely boot up. I can't think of anything I might be doing differently those times it doesn't work. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone find a solution to this, by chance?

Another questions I have: With this build and my CANBUS adapter, I am able to see track number, time, etc. on the car's gauge cluster display when the HU is playing music with the native(IQ Navi) music app, and I'm able to see the current radio station, etc when I'm playing the native radio app. However, if I use any other app, no information is displayed in the gauge cluster. Does anyone know how to display information from other apps in the gauge cluster? - possibly via the notifications passed by apps like Pandora, Spotify, etc.(the notification provides the current band/album/track names). Has anyone developed an app to pass this information to the CANBUS for display in the gauge cluster, by chance? Or, do you have any other ideas?

Thanks a bunch for your help!

Hi Guys,

I have flashed version IQ Navi 0.1.25 (1280x480 resolution) onto my HU via Phoenix (PC flash). Does anyone know if there is a recent update for this? I'm seeing a couple of bugs I was wondering if might have been corrected.

Thanks!

Patrick
[Android Head-Units] mariob098:
This version is free, and there is no any free update, for other versions you have to pay, you should try to flash again, i did not flash with my computer and it is working very good. I did not notice any bugs, can you write some bugs you have
[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
I have paid for the software on the RedMod site. I think it was $26 for Android 4.x IQ Navi. As far as I know, 0.1.25 was the only flashable version compatible with my resolution (1280x480), at least at that time. There were a few different update files (not flashed(.tar)), but those wouldn't affect partition size for applications. The flashed version gives you a 6 GB partition for applications, if I remember correctly. Much better than the 1.5 GB partition the device has stock.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of an update to that flashed version. Now that I have flashed it, I have the new memory partition(6 GB), I think I can just update through the normal process from here on out - assuming there are updates beyond 0.1.25.

Anyone have any thoughts? Please let me know if I am misunderstanding something. (very possible . . . : )

Thanks!

Patrick

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Sorry. I forgot to answer your other question. Regarding the bugs, I have had issues with the Shutdown Delay not working every time the car is briefly turned off. I have the Shutdown Delay set to one hour. About half the time, the unit has to fully boot after the car was turned off for less than an hour. Other times, it works like it's supposed to - starting without bootup needed.

Another bug has to do with TuneIn radio. For some reason, TuneIn crashes each time it is opened. Seems to be a conflict with this version of IQ Navi. Others have reported the same problem.

Also, occasionally the device gets in a state where apps instantly close right after they're opened. The only way to get out of this is to reboot the device.

None of these bugs are that big of a deal, all things considered. I love IQ Navi, especially compared to the stock software. I was just curious if there happened to be any updates - just in case.

Thanks!
