Hi, I have the volkswagen unit with the physical buttons, and yes the information is shown on home screen when you adjust your climatronic or open doors etc.

If there is someone with a parking sensors eguipped VW with the new unit, does the sensors work with this unit, my car is spending the winter in garage so cant really test that function
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dayanandgp:
Hi , thanks for your reply. Originally i wanted to buy 8 inch model with physical buttons and there are videos confirming that " door, climate etc " information is displayed. However i liked

the 9 inch model because it looks very clean without any buttons :) :)

When going through video for the 9 inch model, the person opened a dedicated app to see such information. I thought the Software is all same

except for screen size but i wanted to make sure in case somebody is using this model.

I have PDC on my passat and Joying confirmed that PDC will work...also some videos have shown that PDC information is shown on the screen.

PS: By the way do you also have Passat ? Would love to see the fit and finish of the unit after installation :) let me know

Regards,

Dayanand Patil
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
Hi, there is an dedicated app that shows some information about the car.

But the small information section appearing when you adjust something should be the same for both units.

I have a 2010 golf mk6, but i guess the center console is quite similiar. I will post a phto in just a minute.

Thanks for confirming the pdc thing.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Hilari0:
For those on the fence on buying this one or not, here's some news from Youtube user "Boy Ka". I asked if they planned to release an upgrade to Android 6 for these Intel based units any time in the future. His reply: "We will release android 6 Octa-Core with DSP amplifier in next year.﻿"

That sounds interesting! Remember, chinese new year is on january 28, so that is what "next year" would be for these people. Is it 1 or 6 months away? Who knows, but if you already have a working head unit, either an older Android or something else and you're not in a hurry to get one, you might put some ice on it and wait and see what they come up with. The Android 6 and Octa-Core doesn't mean so much to me. The Intel does the job well enough, and I think it performs well enough for anyone who's not looking to do gaming on their head unit (why would you anyway? :p ), but the DSP amplifier part sounds very interesting to me!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
Ok so i tried to replace the apk in the system/apps folder but i cant remove the original one, or do anything with those folders, I assume I nees root? If anyone has good guide howto do it please help. I cant acces joying forum, i just get millions of advertises popping up.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Hilari0:
Yeah, I know Android 6 won't do much for us, hence I stated that the CPU and OS upgrade didn't mean so much to me. They might surprise us with a good CPU, but I guess they'll just stick with the current Rockchip stuff which I suppose is A53 cores for the time being. I am however curious to see if they listen about the Bluetooth stuff and other things, proper Google Now implementation and give access to the stock Google phone and contacts apps and such but I guess that's mostly wishful thinking. The DSP amplifier he mentioned will be interesting to see what it is though.

It's really weird that these chinese manufacturers aren't able to release a simple head unit with a strong CPU, 3-4GB ram, 32 or more internal storage and with a minimally modified Android where they only add the necessary settings for the extra hard buttons and hardware specific for head units, then charge 400 bucks for it.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
you get advertisements popping up from going to forum.carjoying.com?

I go there every day and have not had that issue? Does anyone else have that problem?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KamaL:
Never had this problem.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] m3co:
The unit already do that, you can choose to dim and turn on/off buttons light, with your car lights (must connect cable) or by a set time.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
Yes, constant stream of "you are the chosen one to get million dollars" adverts. Cant even get back, have to close the tab.

Lähetetty minun E6853 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
did you ever think.... maybe you were chosen to get a million dollars? that could be pretty cool..

maybe try another browser and see how it acts, you also probably want to scan your computer to make sure it is clean
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KamaL:
I just tried that. It was set to "small light control", and the lights turn on and I can change colors etc...

But when I set it to "time control", even if it was after 18:00, the lights are always off, and I can't change colors etc...

Any idea why? Maybe a problem with my illuminate wire?

Is there a way to change the time in which this works?

Thx
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
Actually I noticed that if I use these straight links to someones post, the flood of ads start. The same happens on my phone. Do you get the same thing, do they just try to get more money with links to removed threads or something?

When I used the link to the main forum you linked, no ads.

Im keeping good care that the pc doesnt have any suspicious files.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
i do pay for XDA to be ad free, but I don't pay anything for Joying, I don't think they even have an option there. You can always go to the carjoying.com site and look for the forum link to go directly to it.

always good to double check your computer, some good free tools are:

http://www.superantispyware.com/

and

https://www.malwarebytes.com/
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
Yeah I use malware software frequently. No problems on other site, didn't think anyone redirects to those sites anymore. The advertisement site adresses usually have "ref=joying"
[MTCD Android Head Units General] :
Ref= is an affiliate tag. Means they are earning money on those links, or at the least, a commission on sales gained through those links. :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
Yeah, I was so pissed when I got into my car to mess with adb root stuff and tried to look a quide from the link, and ended up blocking 20 popping ads and the play store wanting me o get uber app....

I already gave them my money and I would respect that they wouldnt do that kind of ****..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] :
Well, ref=joying means someone named joying is making a good sum on all those ads then. Lol
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dcman008:
Can you give me a link to that code/app?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gustden:
The 'time control' just leaves the button lights on for a few seconds after one is pressed. I had an issue with my car's illumination wires not giving the correct signal. The car has 2 wires in the harness for illumination and supplied 12v to both wires when the lights were off, and 12/0 when the lights were on.

The solution was to run a wire from the headunit directly to a source that was 12v when lights on, 0 when lights off. A good place to look is the power wire going into the car's dimmer switch on many cars.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] concept5400:
While my phone is connected through BT to the headunit everytime I receive an e-mail Spotify is muting itself and it lookks like the unit is trying to play the notification sound but fails to do so. It's pretty annoying to have music muted for a few seconds every now and then.

The workaround is to switch phone's media output to internal speaker after establishing BT connection with the unit. I am leaving the car and coming back quite often and switching phone's media output each time is quite tedious...

Is there a possiblity to connect a bluetooth device (phone) for calls only?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
On headunit: Settings , applications, gmail, notifications. There is option to disable notifications for the gmail app.

Im not 100% sure about the calls only but on my phone when I go to bluetooth settings and edit the headunit connection, there you can disable audio or/and call connection.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scrfce:
Does everything work right if I use Automate as default launcher. By everything I mean call function, google voice, switch to parking camera when I reverse, radio etc? Is it even possible to set radio as default music app and change station with next and previous buttons. It would be nice to know, because I prefer it seems a lot of more usable than original launcher (google maps, here maps, spotify integration). I dont have Joying head unit yet, so can someone try it out :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
In the phone BT settings you can uncheck the media setting, then it's phone only. Find the little wheel icon for the joying connection, click it while connected and uncheck the media box.

Use CF Lumen by Chainfire from the play store. Itbwill automatically adjust the screen and sunrsie and sunset. Or use Tasker to do it. If you're using Tasker for something else, that would be the best option, as it will use less memory.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] demo84:
Guys

This is probably best response regarding Joking aftersale customer care service.

It is regarding my HU being sent incorrectly and instead 2GB ram unit I have received 1GB with 16GB memory.

Had to sent few messages to the aliexpress seller which meant to be official one and finally I had promising response today ;)

See attached

Now wondering what shall I do lol
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
I would make them to send the new unit, you maybe would want to ask them to send the new unit at the same time you send the old, to reduce the time wihout headunit.

It may take some time.

Lähetetty minun E6853 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
[MTCD Android Head Units General] demo84:
Yeah That would make sense but just wondering to ask them to exchange the unit only without the screen (which is the heaviest thing I believe) and without any accessories

What you guys think?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Need4Camaro:
No...I wouldn't do that... You can kiss your warranty good bye if you remove the screen and any other accessories and exchange onto the newer unit should the new unit arrive and have issues. Exchange like for like.

Also..

Don't pay a penny for shipping the wrong unit back, make them send you a shipping label, this was their error.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] tuuza:
I guess he speaks about the universal unit that has removable screen? But i think they dont work with the new 2gb/32gb units.

Lähetetty minun E6853 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
[MTCD Android Head Units General] demo84:
Yes this is universal version with removable screen. I thing both versions screens are the same

One more Q

Do the 1GB units comes 32GB as well? or 16GB only?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Need4Camaro:
Guys, is there anything we can do to push for the resolution of the following issues with the Joying Intel units?

#1 No Okay Google Everywhere

#2 No audio while any other GPS is active while music is playing - canceling both the music and GPS volume out.. UNLESS you use the GPS you set as the Navigation...

What can we do to fix these issues?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] aneesp:
I too have this issue. What I did was, I used 'Power Amp' for music playback instead of stock. Used MX player instead of stock video player. Both can also run in background.

If anyone have a workaround for this issue, please share.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
I do not use OK Google, but I have seen posts of people saying it works
[MTCD Android Head Units General] concept5400:
Is there any way to "lock" the HU while leaving the car in a repair shop? I would prefer not to hand over access to my gmail inbox ;)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Hilari0:
might be possible to install a lock screen or something, not sure. Logging out of your google account on it might be an even safer option.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
Why are you getting Gmail on your car screen? That tells me you're reading Gmail while driving! Very dangerous! Keep your email on your phone, stopping sync of email and you have no problem with the techs reading your email at the shop!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] concept5400:
Actually I would prefer to remove gmail app from the HU but apparently it is not possible using the normal way - I have tried uninstalling it but it's still there. Is there a way to remove it?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] CadillacMike:
I have the same issue. You could get rid of it on the old MTCD units, but in these new Intel units they never go away. You can disable it, but it will return
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
First, go to settings, accounts, Google, long press your Gmail address, stop syncing Gmail.

Be sure your HU is rooted (directions are in this thread), install Titanium Backup, find the Gmail app (and any others you don't want), back it up, FREEZE it. You can uninstall it if you have it backed up if you want. Freezing it will remove it from you apps list and stop it from running. I also froze both stock launchers to prevent them from interfering with NOVA Launcher on reboot.

Has anyone installed this update? Curious to know what's different & if its worth installing?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] concept5400:
I have this January update installed, I was hoping it would help with my bluetooth problem (no download + sign before numbers). Didn't solve the problem. Nothing has changed after the update, except extra UI.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
Thanks for the info, I won't bother to update my units with this update. I use NOVA Launcher Prime with a completely custom UI, so any UI change doesn't really do anything for me.

As for your contact list issues, I installed the latest version of Google Contacts because the contacts app installed couldn't be accessed. It helped alot for me. You might try it (attached). Also, I can download my contacts via BT, but I don't because it causes a conflict with syncing Google contacts and actually deletes them! So I just let Google sync them and it works fine. Maybe you could try that?.

I'm going to try to install the Lollipop Gapps as soon as I can figure out how to get TWRP (or some other custom recovery) installed. That should fix a lot of Google issues.

Does anyone have a custom recovery that works or know if Flashfire will work on these units?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dcman008:
So far no custom recover. Would be really helpful as stock recovery is useless.

Has anyone installed or seen an install of the joying unit in a 2015sti with the stock navigation? I ordered a 7inch unit and the fitment is way off. Was curious if anyone had seen or done an install

View attachment 3996122
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dcman008:
Fitment is an issue with most, if not all USDM, cars. I had to trim all 4 sides of mine brezel for it to fit in my WRX. There have been a few others in this thread that have put them in WRX/STIs and I think all had fitment issues.

Have you asked/looked on nasioc?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] thedru13:
Thanks for the reply. I searched a good bit on Nasioc and a few others. Nothing to comprehensive. I have found a few bits and pieces of parts that maybe needed but the HK option throws a wrench in things. I think the surround is different.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gustden:
I am working on a modification to the code (Joying 2gb). I am remapping the 'Source' button to bring up google voice. This should work both with the 'Source' button mapped to on the steering wheel and physical 'Source' button on the unit if it has one.

I was really annoyed with the 'source' button was essentially worthless, plus no way to activate google voice from the steering wheel. Hence the idea to reuse the 'source' key for google voice actions. The way the code is written it would be very difficult to change what programs are rotated through with the current source button, but shutting some off looks doable.

If anyone has any interest I can post the apk file and explain the code change.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Need4Camaro:
Well I am definitely interested. I don't have a source button or steering wheel controls although the steering wheel issue will change in the future as I intend to add a new one.

Is there any other method you could get it to work such as literally saying "Ok Google" ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Saiyajin:
Isn't that the universal version with detachable screen? I think it's supposed to look like that.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] jonssoni83:
Has anyone updated to the latest January update? Anything new? Any new bugs?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] demo84:
Seems like it just UI upgrade
[MTCD Android Head Units General] BlueVan:
Did you already fix this? In case not, I had the exact same problem on my VW T5 Transporter. In my case the cause was the CAN Bus sensing the (small) different load that the camera trigger represents, and attempting to adjust voltage, which knocked out the camera. The solution for me was to fit a standard auto relay to the reversing/backing light 12v and let that feed steady 12v from battery to the camera. Good guide at 12voltplanet.co.uk/relay-guide.html.

Meanwhile, I have a question... Can you turn the Joying head unit on without having the key in the ignition, as I can with the standard RCD310?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] m3co:
Id love this too, it will make my live easy
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Kurt Lund:
You can easily solve this problem without relay by putting a 470µF 35V capacitor on the camera and then you need a 1N4001. (50V/1A) diode to make sure that the power does not "run back" into the reverse light. I hope you get the explanation.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] braddman:
Apologies if this has been answered before but I'm so glad I came upon this thread before I mistakenly ordered a Pumpkin unit. I got tired of reading 30 pages of arguing about GPS, but can someone let me know if there's a thread or instructions on rooting. Thank you again for all the help in advance.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] fabien_m2002:
Hello

great news! What is this apk? I thought SRC buttons is coded/mapped into the ROM/firmware!?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
Be sure you're on at least the 12/5/16 update, then go to Bluetooth app, change the default BT Pin to 1234 (or whatever the pin for your unit is) and confirm. You can change the name if you want and confirm. Then go to the Link button and press the search button (magnifying glass), locate your ODBII device and it should now link up. Check torque app for confirmation.

Sorry, theres another file attached below. You will need the ip address of your HU to insert in place of the example address in the file.

Inside the usb-drive folder is an apk you install on the HU (ADB_Wireless.apk) install & run it, get the IP address from the app. Load the files from the usb-drive folder onto a usb drive/sdcard and insert into HU.

go to PC open the ADB_FOR_PC folder double click on OPEN_Command_Here.bat and copy - paste commands in the file attached. Sounds like a long process, but reall takes less than 5 minutes. Be sure you change the IP address.. ☺

Seeing as I primarily use PA could i just set something to auto start it?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] wanb1i:
Try Tasker. My Poweramp must be started on 1st power up, but starts right up after that. I also have selected auto start on BT connection. That might work.
