I just installed one of these new Joying Units, coming from an RK3188 Pumpkin model. The speed Difference and screen quality is night and day better on this (JY-UL128N2 ).

I updated it to latest Dec 8th update from Joying and everything works pretty well, but I do have a few questions.

The stock Joying Music app - Album Art does not show up, It showed up with the same files on my old Pumpkin unit and I know the ID3 tag has album art in it. Any tips or help to get it to show up?

TomTom GO - While the amazon listing I bought it from says it supports TomTom GO out of the box, it does NOT, I asked Joying and they said It wont work they have contacted TomTom and their developers to see if they can make it work. I know from fixing it on my old RK3188 it relied on the serial number to be 12 digits. This unit has a Serial Number of 00000000. What's the best way of changing that with making as little changes as possible to the system?

Thanks in advance

Reading Text Messages - New Joying 2GB

I have been trying to get my Joying head unit to speak the text messages when they come in. I have been successful in doing the following:

- Make bluetooth connection from my phone (phone,media&data)

- I use "tablet talk" to push the SMS messages to the HU ( working )

- Running ReaditToMe on the HU, automatically reads any notification you want it to ( working partially )

The problem I am having is when I have the radio on, it does not read the messages, however any source such as pandora, videos, etc it works fine. The application has both "Music Stream" and "Notification Stream" options but it does not play during radio with either option.

Anybody know what "audio stream" a notification needs to be sent to to make it heard during the radio?

Hello,

how can i set source switching apps? I just want to restrict src switch to Waze, PowerAmp and radio.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] fado5:
OK guys I just ordered my HU from eBay (seller was carjoying so I presume the same but $50 cheaper) Can anyone verify if I buy a cheapo USB dab USB adaptor will work on this? Something like this

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/142202102357

I mean a difference of 90% cheaper compared to joyings own adaptor is worth asking about!

Tomtom lost my business when they changed to a subscription/distance model.

Try something better, like Copilot (offline, lifetime) or Google Maps (online, free). Both work flawlessly.

And just for fun, I checked the tomtom application, and it has native libraries -- which are only provided for ARMv7a instruction set. These intel head units are x86 instruction set. Copilot also uses native libraries, but they provide both ARMv7a and x86.

Bought the JY-VL130N2 with original backup camera for my 2012 Diesel Octavia, and have two very annoying issues which drives me mad:

1: It looks like my unit looses power a brief second when starting the engine, which makes it do a complete boot! And boot time is 50 seconds!

Dormancy setting is useless this way- Unit powers on instantly when turning key only half way around to get the electricity going, but as I said, it goes black and then boots when turning the key all the way to get the engine running.

2: Backup camera only works when electricity is on but engine still is off.

It does not engage during boot, or even when engine is running.

Powered via braking light, red wire on signal cable not connected. Tried turning on park lights/fog lights with engine running to see if I did the wiring wrong, but no picture.

Here is a brief video showing my problems:

https: //youtu. be/u_gbV5DmkQs (remove spaces)

Please help, any idea how to fix this?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gustden:
1. I have the 135N unit and it just blanks during cranking ( no reboot ). Do you have the Yellow power wire connected directly to battery? On my car power supply from the factory harness is removed during cranking. This will cause most HU to reboot. You may want to check to see if power is actually cut to the unit when cranking.

I also installed a capacitor and diode on the red ( ACC ) wire to keep the HU from blanking the screen during cranking. Here is a very good article showing how to do this: www.forum.carjoying.com/printthread.php?tid=79 .

2. The backup camera needs to have the power to the camera from the backup lights. You also need to connect orange signal wire (BACK) from the HU connected to the backup lights. So when you shift to reverse, it powers the camera and signals the HU to display the camera at the same time.

Hope this helps!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gainsville:
Thanks for reaching out!

1) I received no wire to connect directly to battery. Tried connecting the Acc wire, but the same thing happened. Thanks for the link, though. I'll look into that! My original unit (amundsen+) did not flicker or anything when cranking, but then again - maybe it has a capacitor installed already.

The funny thing is, when I crank the engine in one go from "zero state" - the unit doesn't long-boot! But this wears on the diesel engine in the cold weather as I don't allow the glow plugs to warm up properly, so I'm hesitant to do it this way.

2) Backup camera picture displays when I set it in reverse, so I guess I have connected it properly. But it only works when engine doesn't run. Maybe I should try the other method using the relay described in the joying blog (no 7)

Will report if it works!

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words....

[IMG="radio wire"]http://www.carjoying.com/skin/frontend/rwd/default/images/lollipop/site/JY-VL130N2/VW%20Universal%202GB%208%20Inch%20Double%202%20Din%20New%20Android%205.1.1%20Lollipop%20Car%20Radio%2014.jpg[/IMG]

Looks like the only wire that it comes with, is the vehicle specific adapter, rather than the standard pigtail wire.

In this case, the one labeled as "BATS" -- it should be YELLOW where it goes into the socket.

And while you don't ACTUALLY want to connect it straight to your battery (because that would be DUMB), you DO want to have it connected to an UNSWITCHED power supply that entirely bypasses the ignition switch. I.e., it remains powered ALWAYS.

Now, there is one other possibility that you might be wrestling with.... which is that the battery is worn out. If this is the case, then when you're cranking your engine, the voltage may drop down too far, forcing the car radio to reset. The solution is to get a new battery, preferably one with higher CCA -- always best to get the LARGEST battery that you can physically fit in your vehicle.

NO!

Backup camera is NOT to be powered by BRAKE LIGHT. Then it will only work when you PRESS THE BRAKES.

You need to power the backup camera from the BACKUP light. Look at your tail lights -- there is a section of them that is CLEAR and emits WHITE light. The circuit that powers those WHITE BACKUP LIGHTS is the one you need to tap into!

Hi guys, I ordered my JY-VL130N2 2GB 32GB model and I was checking the available updates for it.

As their update file naming is very odd, I need to ask from you.

Android 5.1.1 Lollipop car Head Unit Audio stereo upgrade for Joying 20.12.2016

Joying-blog/42.html Sorry cant post links

MCU update? And it says contact them before updating, and the latest update they have linked is Sep 20th, 2016 altough their post came today??

Joying Newest Android 5.1.1 Lollipop Car Head Unit Audio Stereo Upgrade 17.12.2016

Joying-blog/59.html

Software update? The newest they provide is 8.12.2016 and saw some info on this thread earlier.

So am I supposed only to run the 8.12.2016 update on my new unit? Joying new developed 5.1 system20161208.zip

And can I just straight install the latest update altought I quess there is quite fresh version already.

Thanks.

Mkay, so yellow wire connects directly to an unswitched power supply. What do you suggest I hook it onto, if not the car battery?

Backup lights, braking lights, potato, tomato.. :laugh: YES, that would be utterly stupid. I meant backing lights, bad typo.

Tried with the relay cable now (alternative VW installation found on www .carjoying.com/Joying-blog/7. html) , mostly no signal but I get a flickering live feed from time to time as I turn the steering wheel back and forth. When engine is off, the video feed is just fine. Odd..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] doitright:
There should be a distribution panel or fuse block somewhere near door side driver's knee. If there truly isn't an always on power source in your car's wiring harness, then you can use an add-a-fuse to pull power from there.

That sounds incredibly strange. Turning the steering wheel should have no impact at all on it. I think you have gremlins.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] WILD9:
Do these have a crossover between the sub output and the full range output on RCA, is it adjustable?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
While not 100% correct, one link is for the MTCD units and one is for the Intel units. The Intel units are what they are currently calling "Newest Joying", which is what you have. So you want this link:

https://www.carjoying.com/Joying-blog/59.html

it does list your unit on there as well:

If your head unit is following unit model, then you can update the system :

vw:

JY-Vl130N2, JY-Vl131N2

However I'm not sure if there is a designation on your current unit as to what version of the software is on there

I have seen couple posts about heat problems on the unit with intel processor and throttling. If this is the case, has anyone added an larger heatsink or other solution.

Also is there any kind of fan in the unit?

Lähetetty minun E6853 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
[MTCD Android Head Units General] doitright:
There is no fan.

Some people have added heat sink.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that it is a "problem". Reality is that there are two ways to mitigate heat; either remove the heat faster, or don't make as much of it. Both are correct.

If the performance is inadequate when using the latter approach, then the former approach can improve the situation.

I haven't noticed any particular performance issue with the intel unit under my workloads. I typically run gmaps or copilot, torque, AM radio, and phone calls.

This situation could potentially change in the spring/summer when it gets warm out, hasn't been above freezing out since I installed the unit, so naturally, the unit's thermals will benefit from the cold ambient air.

Dab+ in background

Just wanted to share my experience with the DAB+ adapter which I installed today.

-Reception is good using the original car dab antenna and a fakra adapter.

-App is working OK when in foreground, but won't change stations using the steering wheel buttons.

-When I press home button and send the dab app in the background, music turns in to slow stuttering- even with no other apps open :(

30 sec demo of stuttering here:

Are there any other applications on play store that you could try for this?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
First, long press the arrow button to do a full scan. When you find a station you want to save, long press the button you want to put it on and itbwill replace what was there previously. No ability to name a station exists that im aware of.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] doitright:
It can be done, but how to do it is anything but obvious. The button bar along the bottom can actually be dragged over to reveal a second set of buttons. One of the buttons on the previously hidden side of the bar will allow you to edit the currently selected station shortcut.

There is also a settings button in that side which, among other things, allows you to choose the applicable frequency standards for your area, I.e., North America requires 10 kHz spacing on the AM stations,whereas everywhere else uses 9 kHz spacing.

Did you program your buttons? Or did it just happen to randomly sort-of work?

Like I said... not obvious ;)

And frustrating for the first while, being in Canada, and having the thing defaulting to 9 kHz frequency spacing.... well my preferred channel was 2 kHz away from the nearest frequency it could select. It was a great day when I found the extra buttons.

No at start i don't do anything, my wheel buttons work exept one.

So i try to add the one missing in the option but i can't....

I press my button, after i click the action i want to do but don't work...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] doitright:
You need to go into car media settings and find the wheel programming option in there.

Then what you can do, is press (and hold) the button you want to program. While holding, you tap on the function you want it to perform.

In the new Intel head units, is it possible to program the steering wheel keys for normal and long press?

Also, is it also possible to reprogram the keys when the car needs a canbus adapter?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
how did you hook it up? is it a specific car unit? or did you use an adapter?

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

long press - i dont think you can do a long press via Joying, but if you use the PAC module, you can program it to recognize a long press. I have not tried it, but in theory, you should be able to program a short press and a long press into the PAC and then (in theory) the Joying should recognize the short press and long press as different buttons and then you should be able to assign it different functions

reprogram keys - based on my experience (Jeep Wrangler), you cannot do it if you use a vehicle specific Joying unit that has its own canbus adapter. However if you get a universal unit and use the PAC you can

ODBII connection issue solved ( Joying 2GB )

I was still having issues connecting to my old "ODBII" with my Joying JY-UL135N2 even with the Dec 8 rom . It would see it just fine, but would always tell me the passcode was incorrect. This is kind of an oddball ODB2 adaptor, with the passcode of "1111".

I finally got it to work using this thread: http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-auto-general/obd2-fix-t3522398

It's an old pay app, but I thought I would try it and return it if it didn't work. To my suprise, it actually did work! I was also able to pair a keyboard I was having issues connecting with.

What do you mean by PAC module?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
The PAC module is a specific decoder for steering wheel buttons for specific brands/models to be used with aftermarket headunits

In my case (mazda cx5) steering wheel buttons are resistive so they are recognized by Intel unit....but if I connect the pac (I need it because reverse signal is coded) the headunit recognizes other different signal from each button.

Much other brands/models have the steering wheel buttons nob resistive and coded by canbus that specific can bus decoders (Chinese ones or pac) could decipher

[MTCD Android Head Units General] KamaL:
Thanks for the explanation.

My Mercedes has a canbus, and I need an adapter (which is being shipped to me).

Does this mean I won't be able to have different long press and short press actions?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
Pac is an accesdory specifically for steering wheel controls and it usually has short / long press programming (it converts both signals into resistive signals that can be read by headunit) o don't know if the can bus supplied by the headunit manufacturer has that capability

I pulled /system/app/JY-1-C9-Radio-V1.0/JY-1-C9-Radio-V1.0.apk file off the HU and unzipped. All of the image files are in: res/drawable-land-nodpi. I modified the png files with irfanview to change the color pallets of each image I wanted changed. Once I was done, just zipped it back up and pushed it back to the original directory ( I made a backup of the original first ). I had to reboot before it changed to red. To revert back, just put the old file back. It took a few times trial and error to get it looking decent.

Has anyone tested the maximum amount of files and folders the unit supports via USB or SD? Recently had my 4100NEX stolen, with a 256GB SD & two 256GB USB sticks, over 700GB comprising about 30K files & about 3,000 folders. Would be tough to go backwards.

It's there a way to change volume with gestures?

My unit is without physical buttons, which looks great, but until I receive the canbus adapter in order to have steering wheel controls, I'd like to have an easy way to control volume.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
Without knowing how chrysler or boston wiring works, joying website recommends to contact them before buying, if you have factory amp in your car.

May have something to do with Can unit, amp wake up-signal or something similiar. Some cars for example BMW needs extra wire to wake up the amp also when headunit starts.

You may want to contact Joying first.

Did you buy any wiring harness for the unit? Some harnesses are listed as not for amplified systems.
