How did you manage to root it? I'm only able to achieve temporary root with kingroot?

[Android Head-Units] Hisma:
why did you try to flash the mcu? just curious. something probably went wrong while flashing the mcu which caused it to brick. it's fairly easy to recover from a firmware issue, but if something goes wrong w/ the mcu you pretty much perma-bricked the device. i don't think it's recommended to flash the mcu unless you're having major hardware issues.

flash the latest iq navi. it comes pre-rooted w/ supersu.
[Android Head-Units] moses_dx:
Where do I find that firmware?

here is 1.25. latest version that i know how to acquire. i think they are at 1.29 or something now but don't know where to dl it. this version has supersu tho.

My wifi completely went out on the unit so seller gave me MCU + Firmware to install.. Both went "fine" they both flashed but when I went to get out of the car the unit wouldn't shut off at all & I lost all button functions. It was late so instead of leaving the unit on I pulled the power to it.... Well that was the last time it was powered on.... =\
[Android Head-Units] moses_dx:
I guess you just needed to choose the proper model in extra settings

Nah its toast I've tried jumpering the key2 to ground & nothing happens. (as per sellers instructions) to force into recovery mode.

Tried installing offline maps still does the same thing. Its almost as if when the voice is about to start navigating it pops out of navigate mode back to the overhead map.

I am planning a long road trip through Mexico and if I can use Google maps I'd like to find an app that can navigate with a solid database of locations and not have to pull over to figure out what the hell is going on.

As far as the OBD2 reader I'm convinced its china crap. Reads real time sensors but failed to pull the P0420 code (catalytic converter) Engine light on no code. I was using Torque. Torque does not have a setting for my model car nor does extra settings. Going to invest in a OBDLink here soon.

Sorry about the bricking. I read that some models have a button inside? But returning it was the best move as opening it voids you out.

hi, I have this unit.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] moses_dx:
Yes the Bluetooth is crap, sometimes it doesn't display the contact name and the phonebook is not alphabetical. Unfortunately there's no Chinese radio with parrot Bluetooth, anyway it's very easy to search contacts, it's android after all

I need to send my unit back for repair, and I want to restore the original firmware so that they don't blame the IQ Navi firmware. Where can I get a copy of that? Is it saved on the unit somewhere?

I have a second unopened unit that has never had IQ Navi installed on it. Is there a way to pull the firmware off of this and transfer to the defective one?
[Android Head-Units] -Ilkka-:
Hi to all!

Im new to android car units, in not native english speaker but have have red alot this site and i have no experience about any rooting so please have patience :D.

My first question is: Am i in the right thread?

My head unit is this: edit i cant link... :(

So i try to copypaste some information from dealer site. ( and these are from my device)

8.8" Android 4.4 Quad Core 1280X480 Car Stereo Audio Head Unit WITHOUT SD OR DVD

Pure Android R16 Specification

- Android 4.4 (4.4.2)

- CPU R16 Cortex-A7 Quad Core 1.6GHZ

- RAM:1.6G DDR3 ROM:16GB INAND

- Resolution: 1280X480

- MCU: 4.3.16-10-E40101-150901 (5.3.18-23-10-E43101-160531)

System:4.5.3-20151023 (4.5.10_20160716)

And my second problem and reason why i am here:

I dont like my default radio app and music player.

I have installed power amp and radio app from this thread page 18, ( i would provide link for you but i cant yet...)

Both apps running fine, and i would like to make them default and shutdown what came with unit.

Is rooting the only way to proceed?

So i have found too many generic rooting guides, is there any specific this model?

I did try "Type the code - *#hct#root# into the factory settings password box and press "ok", NOTHING HAPPENS?

3rd question. Is this compatible with iq navi, should i try it? Is there any way to go back if something does not work?
[Android Head-Units] wigglitz:
Did you ever perform the backup of your original system that's listed on the first page? Is your second unit the exact same type? If so you can probably run the backup on that, then restore it on the first one.

You have no SD/TF slot for a maps card? Also, look on the first post here how to backup your original system partitions. So far according to the specs of your unit that you posted, you seem to be in the right forum thread. If you search this thread you can find out how to root your unit using "KingRoot" and/or "KingoRoot". IQNavi should work with your device.

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

I am sorry, but I am not sure what you are asking for help with...?
[Android Head-Units] -Ilkka-:
No i do not have any SD slots, only 2xUSB

I have to forged dreaming about iq navi for now... too big risk to screwup whole device.

So i did try kingroot, Root not found and attempt failed.

Kingoroot gave me ERROR CODE 0x1AF6B8 couple of times, but rooted after many tries with success, sadly only temporary.

Root dissappear on every boot.

So i cant make my new radio and poweramp to defaults?

In settings there is only option for default navi.

Im using nova launcher and i have these apps in launcher bar now, but every time i start my car, i have to shutdown default radio and start the other one...
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
keep trying kingroot, it should work eventually - make sure your head unit is connected to the internet when you try it.
[Android Head-Units] wigglitz:
If you search this thread, there is a post that tells you a very specific version of kingroot or kingoroot to use, and how to keep root after reboot. As for power amp, I am not sure :(
[Android Head-Units] EnixNeo:
This post recommends you use Kingroot v4.5 and to make sure your head unit is connected to the internet. There's a link to download Kingroot v4.5 in the post. It may take 2-3 install attempts.

[Android Head-Units] -Ilkka-:
I kept trying and trying... Finally it worked! THANKS

Then what?

I would like to freeze original radio app, and start my own in boot.

Any free apps?
[Android Head-Units] Oshell:
I looks like I've got everything ironed out as far as making this thing work the way I want. IQnav is a must as well as poweramp. Google maps did an update and now it works as well. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with camera recording apps. I have 3 total cameras connected to my unit. A rear back up camera wired to a switch so I can turn it on when I need. A front mounted camera and a third camera mounted facing the driver window to record traffic stops and what not. The front camera is Fcam and the third is AuxCam. The programs list has buttons to access these cameras and I can start screen record from the drop down notifications menu. But this method involves hitting back and pulling down the menu to switch and start and stop. Plus when the camera is on the music stops. I have found one app that will record the aux camera with one button push and does not stop the music but it does not access the front camera nor is there any setting to change. It also distorts the image. That app is Audio and Video Recorder Lite. I'd love a program that has a record button and a switch camera button that does not kill the music. Anyone?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Is supported spanish language in IQ Navi?

Regards
[Android Head-Units] wigglitz:
I have my rear camera always powered. I can only view it when switching to reverse gear. Are you able to view it with an app on the unit of some sort? I have a front mounted USB dash cam that used to work, but only using the "Recorder" app. I am curious also on how you have your front cam setup too. I have messed with the front camera options in IQNavi to no avail. I would be grateful for any help or information you might be able to provide.

Oh, Fcam used to work on my previous unit whenever I wanted to view my rear camera. That was a MTCB unit with the other custom firmware in this Android unit forum though.
[Android Head-Units] Oshell:
As far as the reverse camera is concerned, these are set up so the reverse camera overrides the OS. I wanted the option of turning it on when I want and didn't want to cut in to my harness so I wired a power wire with the camera wire, I added an inline switch and wired it to the yellow + wire. Mounted it on the dash so now its only is on when I flip the switch. Fairly simple aside from I had already ran the camera wire before I decided to do it this way so twice the wire running. The other two cameras are the same yellow rca cable labels as the buttons in programs. So Fcam is Fcam and Aux is Aux, it also has a DVR rca that seemingly is inaccessible from the buttons and the recorder button finds no cam no matter what is hooked up. I have a feeling these are slightly different from model to model as I have one that isn't pictured but has/had the same firmware. I'd love to find a recording app that can access all that cams.

whenever i do a factory reset, the preset china apps will be there too. have to manually uninstall it.

i am on the ** **** firmware.

** **** firmware working fine on a cloned tonghai create unit.

Here's a trick to bypass corrupted boot animation, in case you've had it and unable to load into the homescreen where the screen stays black for eternity.

Turn on the HU, immediate after the logo flash up, engage into reverse gear. The screen should show the reverse cam feed. Wait a few seconds till the supposed boot animation had completed,

then engage into any other than reverse gear. You should be able to view the homescreen now. Quickly remove or choose another working boot animation.

I guess the boot animation got bypassed when engaged into reverse gear.

Hope it helps somebody.

Need firmware updates for Topway android 4.4 deck

Does anyone have the firmware updates for the android head unit MCU 5.3.17-1-10-610101-151112 system ver 4.5.3_20151027 dvd ver 2.13.15-860mc-150417 cortex a7 armv7l 32bit 4 x 1632mhz arm polaris. Even though the sell advertises this as a Tocado brand and with a processor type cortex a9.

I bought it from seller endanky5213 on Ebay

Hi, I just purchased a new head unit and I am completely lost. My unit looks like the top left picture on the first post; the box says that the brand is TOCADO. Hardware Info app identifies the brand simply as TW. This is the information I have on "About Device":

Processor:

Quadcore-R16 1.6GHz

Android Version:

4.4.2

MCU Version:

5.3.17-1-10-610101-151112

System Version:

4.5.3_20151027

DVD Version

2.13.15-860mc-150417

So, I want to know if this is the right thread for my unit (I got here after I google searched my MCU version). I have other questions but first I want to know if I am in the right place.

Hi!

Is there a way to set the illumination brightness? If I turn on the lights on the car the HU takes down the brightness but its to high. I wan't to take lower.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] leunam12:
If you pull the notification down there is a button for brightness that will dim the screen. you can also add a power widget to one of the home screens.
[Android Head-Units] Prison91:
Thats ok but it can't be set how its decrase the brightnes when i turn on the lights?
[Android Head-Units] leunam12:
I don't know the answer to that. My son's head unit has a setting just for that but mine doesn't seem to have it. have you checked the display section under settings?
[Android Head-Units] Prison91:
Yes but i haven't saw anything about this. But i think there should be something..
[Android Head-Units] leunam12:
I checked mine and there is nothing.
[Android Head-Units] Prison91:
Maybe someone know, how to solve this. Thanks for your help.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
i simply programmed one of the steering wheel controls (long press volume down) to dim brightness, as it was one of the choices in the steering wheel control app.
[Android Head-Units] leunam12:
Did you have to use an adapter like Axxess or PAC to wire your steering wheel controls? I'm trying to wire my Mazda 3 controls but it seems that the only way to do it is with one of those adapters (AXXESS-ASWC-1)
[Android Head-Units] Ahfish22:
how do you do the steering wheel controls learning for long press?

i tried pressing and holding the button at the steering wheel controls learning page but it just registers as a normal press?
[Android Head-Units] Prison91:
I don't have steering wheel control. But i can't believe this is a fix function and can't be modified somewhere, somehow...
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
no, i have a 2005 toyota sienna and just wired the controls directly to the ones coming from the stock harness. researched it for what seemed like months before buying because it seemed too easy, and it worked out quite well.
[Android Head-Units] fyid:
i can't quite remember, but i think if you press and hold the button on the screen and it will give you more options. i also thought you would have to press and hold the steering wheel control to program it, but that's not how it works as i recall.
[Android Head-Units] philseven:
top way

Couldn't seam to find firmware was wondering if you could point me in the right direction thanks in advance. ✌️
[Android Head-Units] mikewest21:
Ok so I ended up using a different firmware in the russian thread called IQNavi. If you have the allwinner r16 4core like me then use the iqnavi firmware this is the Dev's website firmware-an21.wixsite.com/iqnavi

Sorry won't let me post links yet here. But hopefully that helps you out. That update should update the necessary stuff you need.

He let's you download the 0.1.25 (4CORE) for free and if you like it you can follow the instructions and do a donation of 25usd via paypal and he will open up the download section on the forum to download the new and improved version of it I believe the new one is 0.1.294 (4CORE). It's locked otherwise. I started with the 0.1.25 and was happy lots of customization already and I already donated to get the new version which I plan to try out today. Will let you know if I feel it was worth it. But make sure you use google translate you guys will be best friends as everything is in Russian.:good:
[Android Head-Units] philseven:

[Android Head-Units] leunam12:
I use CoPilot, it's pretty good and works offline; you download the maps to your device first.
[Android Head-Units] philseven:
OK I know this may be a stupid question I have king root and zip file for correct unit how do I update using zip file.
[Android Head-Units] leunam12:
I think the instructions are: Unzip it and put the two files on a FAT32 formatted card or USB stick and go to settings and click System Update. Check post #326.

I have never done it myself.
[Android Head-Units] philseven:
OK thanks going to try that.

Goodnight everyone.

I apologize first because my English is translated with the google translator, so I hope it is understood well.

I received my equipment a week ago and I would like to update it, since I do not know if it is that the rom has corrupted, but it gives me a lot of forced closures in many applications.

My model is:

Quad core r16 .16g

Version android 4.4.2

Version Mcu 5.3.18-7-10-650201-160220

System Version 4.5.7_20160108

After reading a lot in the forum it is not clear to me if the rom that I have to take is the IQnavi, and in case it was that, would anyone know if it is in Spanish?

Android 7.0 Struggles

Alright everyone, I've got this unit (aliexpress.com/item/9-Quad-core-1024-600-HD-screen-Android-4-4-Car-GPS-Navigation-for-Subaru-WRX/32717191246.html), I managed to flash IQNavi .0.1.2.5. However, I did this in an effort to get my Pixel XL to pair with my unit, and I've had absolutely no luck. I managed to an S7 to the unit, but it seems it won't work for my phone, and when I try to pair it, it connects and immediately drops the signal. I'm not sure if an MCU update is required for Android 7.0, but hopefully someone on here could be of some help. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] slide200sx:
Hi, I am an old member but havent posted in ages.

Following this thread for about two weeks and gone through all posts, my unit arrived today and fitted it easy enough, all seems to be working 100% for out of the box, haven't seen anything obvious wrong just yet so I am happy.

Wasn't sure what version android I would get as the advert said 6.0 and then further down the page it said 4.4 upgrade to 5.0 in future, so I was shocked to see android 6.0 in about device and tapping on it revealed the Marshmallow logo and game. I will post pictures tomorrow as its late already here but the system version said 7.something and the MCU 5.something.

We need to check this out more

Hi Grumpycat62,

This is the wrong unit for this thread, you linked to a unit with Rockchip 3188
[Android Head-Units] Grumpycat62:
Hey! Well, that's false advertising. My dispute with AliExpress went through, as the unit advertised the rk188, but came with the allwinner r16. I'm just trying to fix it, as it'd make my life easier. Hopefully that clears things up a bit.
[Android Head-Units] slide200sx:
Yes that helps, you dont get 7.0 on these units, what is yours running?

Have you tried factory resetting the unit and doing the flash again, this sometimes help fix issues, or try and force the BT application to restart.

Maybe others here have a better idea, I'm new to these units too but I'm pretty okay with android, though the BT is part of the MCU and not that clued up yet other than what Ive read here.
