I need root C500 and install xposed additions on the head unit.

I also have newsmy carpad III (NR9001) head unit, with xposed addtions we can set everything on steering wheel control (do action, open apps,...) by single press, double press, tri press (press 3 times), longpress .... So one button on the steering wheel control we can program 6 functions . It is very very cool on carpad III!.

Please think about xposed additions on our C500 head unit.

You can see video, which made by us to introduce xposed addtions on newsmy carpad III. Sorry for video's langues - we will translate it to english later.

Most of them (the method to root android 6.x) must be done via Recovery (TWRP or CWM), we have only stock recovery , which doesn't support flash zip file (e.x SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip).

The remain method are: King root, Kingo Root, Root master... have 2 way to do: (1) via PC - we need a head unit, which has OTA USB port suck as Carpad III, but our head unit hasn't got. (2) By install APK (I have tried this method) , but all of them not work now.

3 - Connect to head unit and restart

4 - Pick your finger continuity on top corner of the screen while the head unit (HU) starting and then HU will automatic run update.

I read somewhere, that the cables of GPS antenna and DAB radio antenna, is not good idea to be close to each other...

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Note - not all FM radio stations broadcast RDS signal that contains the name of the station. Sometimes to receive RDS signal, radio needs a few seconds or even 1 minute to show relevant information such as name, type of music genre that emits or program type. Note that IEC standards do not work in the US. There RDS exists as little amended version, called RBDS and adapted to meet the specific needs of the North American FM stations. Standard RBDS has a formal name NRSC-4-A and curated by National Radio Systems Committee (National Committee on US radio). Therefore it is possible that RBDS signal in the US, can not be decoded correctly / or general / by our Chinese gadgets :)

Bob,

I would like to add the tpms option to my c500. *However, I do not like the external transmitters that you package. *I prefer the inside the tire type of transmitters. *I think many other buyers have same preference.

Can you add a second package or sell receiver separately and I can purchase internal sensors elsewhere?

Also, you offered me special direct price on octo c500 universal, no dvd. *What might that be. *My wife wants one for her Buick.

Thank you for your assistance.

I suggested Bob that they have to cooperate with Orange TPMS systems, if one sensor breaks down, you kan scan the id of the faulty sensor and copying it to the new TPMS sensor with a reader/copy device from Orange.

Hi, got a question. I have the C500 in my Abarth. My previous Chinese radio had a Canbus/Steering Wheel Adapter that said it was "Fiat Bravo" compatible. On the Ownice C500 I have to use a METRA Canbus/Steering Wheel kit.

For some reason I can't get the steering wheel controls to work at all. They worked on the previous two radios I'd used, one with the Chinese canbus, and another with the same METRA kit. In the Factory Settings, there are options for Canbus Type either "Fiat ALL" or "Fiat Bravo". I have tried both.

Hoping you guys have tips on getting steering wheel controls working! Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] lotherius:
The OBDLink LX will pair with the 4 digit pin. It does work with Torque Pro. However, it will NOT connect with DashCommand, OBDLink software or other apps unless I open Torque Pro first and then exit Torque, then open the other app quickly.

EDIT: After further investigation it's not even that predictable. It just sometimes will connect to the OBDLink and sometimes it won't. Very unreliable unless I use the cheap Chinese adapters. It's obvious they only ever bother testing with the cheap junk.

I have updated the OBDLink to the most current firmware and that didn't help.

Hey! I have try to get root as per instruction from here, yesterday.

After few incorrect commands in terminal I don't have proper name of new line with started name "root".

What can make to try more? I don't want to reinstall system fully.

Sorry, I can't post pictures, I am new user and don't have that option, I think. In app during uploading picture there is message "upload error".

I'll try to explain.

When I installed super su in first time, the app propose to update binary file - it's correct request.

After in terminal I have wrote all commands as per instruction. And when I start super su again, the app doesn't propose to update binary file. Message in super su is "where is no SU binary installed" like binary file is missed, bla bla bla and appears only one button HOW TO ROOT, it's link to web page.

Now in terminal I don't have proper name of each new line in format "root" and in super su binary file is missed.

Is this only on my car or have other people the same issues?

[Android Head-Units] yurtesen:
It would be difficult to answer the question for you. Because you know better if you need any features of this unit or not. For example if you just listen to radio and you do not need any other feature, then it is not worth. But if you want all sort of things like 4G, install apps from play store etc. then perhaps it is worth to change... As I said, answer depends on what you need and want.

What is voltage of key1 and key2 wires for remote push buttons? 3.3V or 5V?
[Android Head-Units] halloj:
If the SWC system in your car is of the resistive type it all depends on your car brand. It is in some cars a resistive-ladder.

To find your voltages, connect a voltmeter to your cars resistive ladder. While pushing various buttons you

will find your voltages.

For you techs out there..... I have the Ownice dvr front dash cam. It works well. I now would like to add a second same dvr cam to my back window. I envision a 3 plug usb hub plugged into the dvr usb port. Then the front and rear dvr cams would plug into the nonpowered hub. We need to find out if the car dvr software will see both cams and let you pick which one to view and allow switching from one to another. If the software can do this then this is a great solution. I think the nonpowered usb hub would have enough power from head unit for 2 per cams. Now we need to find out if anyone has tried this or could try this on a test bench. Maybe Ownice Bob can have his techs simulate this possibility. Comments?

Hello to everybody!!!

I bought this unit before some weeks and i receive it last wednesday.

I buy ownice c500 for VW with the 7 inch screen and quad core cpu.

After i install it on friday i understand that the unit never switched off.

Even after i remove the key and also after i lock the car.

This occurs drain of battery.

Anybody have any idea?

Before i had ownice c180 for vw and never had this problem...The only difference is that the c500 is the model with the external canbus and 2in1 cable adaptor.

thank you

I recently installed an Ownice C500 and am really happy with it except for one problem. It reboots randomly. Sometimes it will be once a day, sometimes it will be multiple times a day. I have checked the GPS & 4G antennas (as I saw it mentioned here) and they are installed correctly. I pulled everything out and checked all of my wiring and it all looks good. I have also installed the latest firmware that is available. The unit is not rooted and I have only installed a few play store apps on it:

Google Voice, Maps, Hangouts, Music, Search, Calendar, and Nova Launcher.

Does anyone have experience with this or any recommendations?
