So, it looks like you are still on the original firmware. There have been many updates since. The best repository for firmware is the 4PDA forum in the sticky at the top of each page.

There are also many other topics in that forum that apply to your radio. Just use Google translate on the page.

Anyone broken any ground on:

A: Gaining PX6 root access

Or,

B: Finding a way to remove stock navigation bars on PX6 UI?

These useless Chinese icons are killing me. Lol
[Android Head-Units] veilside244:
Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I bought my Tesla style unit2 weeks ago and installed it last weekend.

I now have 2 problems that I'd like your help.

My unit is from Phoenixandroid and the model is [PX6 SIX-CORE]10.4" Gen 4 Android 8.1 Vertical Screen Navi Radio For Cadillac ATS CTS XTS SRX Escalade 2014 - 2019 4 g ram 64 g rom / PX6 Android 8.1 kv-cac3-448-b3xn

I will post the pictures of the info of the radio.

Info: MCUver: RL7A_KWY_E029-KV2GM1_9812V105

FRAMEWORKVERS: RK3399-userdebug 8.1.0 OPM5.171019.019 eng.zxw.

AppVer: 20190816-1024X768-960-Ver1.0.1.kw-ov

BTVer: SD 190629

Model RKPX6

Kernel vers:4.4.126 (gcc vers 6.3.1 20170404 (Linaro GCC 6.3-2017.05)) zxw@debian #58

My biggest problem is when I start the car, the radio boot but get stuck on the back up camera screen but without any image (see attached pictures).

It has done that 3 times in the last 2 days. If I restart he car, it boot up normally and everything is fine.

I've installed the MCU update (given by PhoenuxAndroid version RL7A_KWY_E029) and it still get stuck on backup camera. It happens this morning when I started the car and waited 2-3 minutes but never booted.

It's now bugging every time I start the car after more than 5 minutes. I need to stop the car and restart it and even then, may take several attempts for the radio to boot.

Another update maybe?

And my 2nd issue is with the RST (reset) button hole...I can put in a paper clip and I can insert it in about 2 inches and can't feel the button (my guess here is that I don't have a reset button at all).

SO any input of you guys would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] SteveLabus:
Depending on how tech savvy you are, I'd maybe take out the unit and remove the sheild off the boards and see if you indeed have a reset button. The board might just have come loose, or not be aligned with the hole properly.

The other issue may be solved by a Firmware update. I have one that would probably be compatible with your unit.

I have another forum where a guys has the same reverse cam fault, and he is flashing it sometime very soon. So if it works and your unit is compatible, I'll send you a dropbox link for the Fw file with install instructions.

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 AM ----------

Before opening the unit however, you should maybe contact them for a replacement unit or refund if within the 30 warranty period. Just a suggestion
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Also before flashing it's good to have a copy of the original firmware to role back to. Especially if the firmware shared is for a different model vehicle.

It may be by now though that the newer firmware has all models included with just incremental fixes for the various vehicle configurations.
[Android Head-Units] SteveLabus:
My FW update is not compatible, unfortunately. Try getting an updated version of the FW from Phoenix. It might take a while, as they don't seem too keen on customer service. But try anyway
[Android Head-Units] veilside244:
Thanks SteveLabus!

I won't try to open it, it's under warranty and I'm trying to have it replace under the 30 days but they are very slow to answer...if they answer at all.

If you have the firmware update, I would try it...if it can be fixed before I have news from them, I could atleast enjoy the radio by the time I receive the new one (no reset button really sucks).

Thanks again for your fast answer!
[Android Head-Units] SteveLabus:
His APPVer and mine are different.
[Android Head-Units] veilside244:
Ok good, I'll wait for PhoenixAndroid then. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Don't get me wrong, Steve is right and the firmware he has "should" work. But if it doesn't it's good to have a backup plan lest you feel like somebody stole your car radio (then you'll just sit in silence)...
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
quick update on my 8.1 new head unit... finally I had substituted the entire HU sending back to china mine!

Now the GPS works like a charm!!!! then it was an hardware issue.

i'm still trying to get the correct password for dev options...
[Android Head-Units] UniqueSoul:
can i change or reorganize the apps on top menu bar?

i have Tesla 12.1" for Ford Explorer 2013

Android ver 8.1
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
If You installed the latest version, so with long touch of Button at top menu bar You can reorganize them. Also You can assign your APPs as Radio, Video, Music and Navi (look settings for it) and You can use Custom buton for your favorite App.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Is this a Android 8.1 only thing?
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Yes, they added just for 8.1 and only for latest firmware version (end of september as I know).
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Good to know. Changing the default apps seems to be one of the biggest things people want on these.
[Android Head-Units] warata:
Where can I download the latest firmware? (my seller CARBAR212616 Store doesn't give me any update)
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Look, all firmwares for PX6 use same name px6.zip.

But If You will install inporoper firmware, You will get black screen. So You need ask firmware for your unit from seller.
[Android Head-Units] warata:
Thanks, I asked seller about update againe then they finally give me a px6.zip.

Unfortunately nothing happend with long touch of Button at top menu bar...
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Man, this unit is not from this topic :)
[Android Head-Units] warata:
sorry,I never know this unit doesn't belong to this topic.

At least my unit is Tesla style and px6 though I only know very little information.:(
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Can You give photo of full unit?
[Android Head-Units] warata:
this unit is 2din universal model and i bought it from here.

[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
me too I need to change top menu app but it's not px6...
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Its some kind of ours unit.

Hi everyone,

The radio stopped responding suddenly. Everything else works fine. Tried to reset but didn't work.

I have f150 2016, and my unit has 4.4 KitKat.

Please help me.
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
is it a px3? put in usb pendrive a firmwaer image and rename it in force_name... and reboot
[Android Head-Units] Jordanian.1:
Thanks for your help.

Yes it is a px3. Would you share a link so I can download the latest firmware?

Thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
does it boot to home screen or just blank screen? Do You see Boot logo and how long (2-3 seconds or more)?
[Android Head-Units] Jordanian.1:
It does boot, everything works except the Fm radio. Does not allow me to change channels or seek channels.

Every single app works except the Fm radio.
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
make video with issue also check Settings - Radio Zone.

Make good photo of Radio App (may be You set wrong buttons). And try to long press Search button to scan channels.

Also Radio is part of MCU, Radio App is just interface with it.
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
$50 to anyone who can program this..

Too busy at work and I just can't get my head around the broadcasting/receiving code to get "tvSpeed2", "tvValidModeInfor" & "tvValidModeOtherInfor" that is used in Launcher into EventCenter... I can place the code into the layout xml's but just can't get my head around it...:confused::silly:

[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
sorry I don't have a link
[Android Head-Units] Jordanian.1:
The fm radio used to work fine. In fact, it stopped while I was driving and listining to radio. As I said before, everything else on the unit works perfect.

I am not sure if forcing firmware would solve but I guess I have to try. Any idea about the link to Dropbox?
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
First and simplest - check antena cable, May be unplugged from unit. But i Have one history where Radio were dead, totally. I hope, its not your case.
[Android Head-Units] brunes:
Stock Bluetooth Settings Screen

Does anyone have any idea how i can launch the stock bluetooth settings screen, so I can enable data sharing?
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
You cannot. As I know Bluetooth is only for hands free.
[Android Head-Units] Jordanian.1:
I checked the antenna at first. The plug is fine. I hope it is not totally dead as you mentioned. Any idea about a link to the firmware?

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

I have been reading and thought you might help me.

My unit installed on 16 F150 used to work fine. Suddenly, the Fm radio stopped working or responding. Not seeking channels, no sound from the radio.

However, everything else works perfectly, AC, other apps including music and Bluetooth.

Tried to reset, checked the antenna plug.

I think I might try to force new firmware. Any idea where i can download the file. My unit is 4.4.

Thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
As I said, Radio is part of MCU unit (not a part of firmware). If it's dead, You need to replace unit with MCU (it's plate inside of block behind the display - there is 2 plates, try to change one by one). You cannot fix it with firmware update, I guess.

I can give You link for firmware, but You need to save your customer.xml and replace it after updating process.
[Android Head-Units] Jordanian.1:
Thanks for the clarification. Would you share the link for the Mcu and firmware update? I guess I have to try, nothing to loose.

Thanks again.
[Android Head-Units] JohnWPB:
I just installed the unit in my 2008 Cadillac CTS. It is supposed to be a 64 gig, Android 8.1 unit. When I went to the settings, device info, pressed and held to get the password dialog, I used 7890 and it worked.

I have not seen photos of the process of switching the factory switches and A/C vents into the radio, so here is a shot showing just what all is involved. You definitely need some patience and some basic mechanical skills.

[IMG="Assembling the Radio"]https://i.postimg.cc/bwkmM2th/Tesla1.jpg[/IMG]

The problem now, is there is absolutely no audio. Nothing on the radio, nothing on video, YouTube ect. Has anyone else ran into this problem, could it be a setting somewhere? I certainly do NOT want to go over a month with no radio in the car if I have to send this one back. As I am certainly not going to reassemble the old radio all over again.....
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
You can download last firmware here

[Android Head-Units] diablo_dave75:
Hey everybody, sorry I haven't taken the time to read all 192 pages in this thread, but I have one of these headunits (just installed a couple of months ago in a Chevy Cruze, it's the 7.1.1 version) and there's a few quirks about it that I'm hoping there are fixes for:

1- EQ only works if you pick one of the 4 or 5 presets that it came with; setting it to User and trying to adjust the frequency bands yourself has no effect on audio at all.

2- Rear view camera frame rate is jittery/stutters/flickers (this does not happen if the camera is in use while Android is booting; once Android is loaded up the framerate suffers).

3- Is internet tethering over bluetooth possible?

That's all I'm curious about right now. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
1. Yes. User preset do nothing

2. You cannot fix it, confirm this issue.

3. Yes, tether internet at Phone and connect unit to it as hotspot. Use Tasker to auto do it
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
hi guys!!! yesterday I've tried to make a mod on my new head unit, I think shoould be the same on the px3 one...

as usual it doesn't work, then I ask to you: is it possible to connect he original microphone of my ford focus using the 2 pins of FORD 54 pin connector to the 3,5 jack input of my radio? I've made a cable with these 2 pins and a jack
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
I have a 7.1.1. and the 'USER' settings work if DSP is switched off in advanced settings

If DSP is switched on (if you don't have DSP) they don't work.
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Can You give photos what I need to set OFF for sure?
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Hi mate, I'm sure it's just called dsp but I'll have a look later.

I wonder if the 'customer' setting has anything to do with it also?

Having the 'USER' settings is essential, especially if you are a basehead like me :)
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
I use POP (my SUV is scared when I use ROCK presets) for EQ :) because it's enough for me (stock audio). But many asked about USER presets so I wonder that it works for You :)
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Well using KSP gold under customer 5 seemed to unlock the albumart so maybe it's customer/theme related?

I have the base crossover set at it's lowest setting and the windscreen vibrates on some tracks :D
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Write me to whatsapp with photo or video. I will look code. There are many features, that I don't need to understand :)
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
:good: will do it later this morning

Hey guys! Just got my Belsee head unit installed. I think this is the right thread for this head unit. I've attached two pictures of it. It seems to be working fine, I'm getting noise when the WiFi is on, but I'll be replacing the antenna so not a big deal but....

I can NOT get it to connect to my OBD2 reader no matter what I've tried. I'm wondering if I can use the rom's in this thread to give it a try.

I purchased from Phoenix auto, which I regret. Their support is pretty awful. Here's the unit

https://www.belsee.com/belsee-best-...ar-stereo-upgrade-radio-replacement-12-8.html
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
That's normal. The regular Tesla units won't work with the OBD readers either.
[Android Head-Units] Wraithxt1:
Damn....I guess there goes my idea for having gauges in the HU :( Doesnt look like it will accept a Bluetooth dongle or Wifi one either :(
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
WiFi might work. Is your radio connected to the CANBUS? Some of that data sends across that network and the radio is already receiving it. Some of the themes have gauges too.
[Android Head-Units] Wraithxt1:
I'm not sure if it's connected or not, but I believe it is, as it's a 2010 Prius. What app would you use to take advantage of the data?

I've tried 4-5 bluetooth models and one USB without being able to pair to any of them. I'll give WiFi a try, but I'll lose my ability to connect to WiFi on the head unit, so that's unfortunate :(
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
I haven't tried but I know some 3rd party car launchers have gauges. Car Launcher Pro (or free) my have some.
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
And is there any way to revert back to previous firmware? I've reneged it to update.img and when it goes to recovery it says "no command" and doesn't flash.
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
reboot unit and try another USB or check that it FAT32.

Also did you rename zip file or firmware file?
[Android Head-Units] hapaman:
I run a small wifi hotspot in my car for that reason. The obd and the tesla unit connect then to this hotspot.
[Android Head-Units] DoubleXz94:
Hello guys, I'm planning to get one of these head units for a 2015 Ford Edge from Phoenix Auto. I been reading some of the issues with sound and the boot up time being slow, is there anyway around that? I plan to get the PX6 model with 4GB ram (if it's actually 4GB). I do plan to root it and install the firmware provided on this thread, hopefully it will help with the boot up time? The unit just seem to have a lot of draw backs for the price it cost, do you guys recommend even getting it or just save the money for something else?
[Android Head-Units] SteveLabus:
Currently there is no root for PX6 as far as I'm aware.

And good luck with Phoenix. Haven't heard alot of good things about them.

I got mine from Carsoll and it runs flawlessly after the Nov Firmware update.
[Android Head-Units] Wraithxt1:
They were "OK" for me. When I requested the latest firmware, they emailed me a file called RL7A.bin with no instructions, lol. So I have no idea if that's even an update for my unit, good work Phoenix!
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
That's update for MCU for PX6 unit with Android 8.1.

[MENTION=9875668]ShIvADeSt[/MENTION] any thoughts about the Intel unit? (Like this one:

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/9sMkeGlur )
[Android Head-Units] Wraithxt1:
I did manage to get torque working with a USB OBD2 adapter. I used the OBDLink LX. It seems to connect just fine about 9 out of 10 starts, and when it doesnt it just requires a power cycle.

The next thing I need to figure out is how to get the unit to enter a sleep mode instead of fully shutting down, as it does take a good 30 seconds to boot up.
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Cannot tell nothing, never work with it.
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
my new HU is intel
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
And what about it? Does it work fine? Is it smooth? Have you been able to root it? The one I bought is Android 8.1, but it will last at least to week to arrive
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
I've bought this:

TS 4G MODEL

it' works wihtout problems, it's quick and finally I was able to activate ford sync2 steering wheel controls!!!

I'm waiting for help to root it and customize the bars. I've found a topic here but it's for a similar one..I'm not sure to try.

important: I'm working to use OEM microphone but my wire now doesn't work
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
Ok, doesn't seem to be like mine. I will try to achieve root through magisk written I get it and tell you how it goes
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
I've been working on my 7.1.1 HU to get it to look and work how I like it but without using 3rd party software.

This keeps it as fast and slick as possible... boots instantly from sleep with radio or music playing before I've started the engine.

It uses a page of the top bar for 'what's playing' and GPS speed even when using maps or whatever. You can still scroll left<>right to bring up the shortcut icons as normal.

Also changed the Radio to show the station name in large rather than frequency (which is now in the top bar)

Big thanks to ShIvADeSt for the help on the top bar programming :good::good:
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
wow me too I want to customize the topbar!

i need alexa widget
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
If you just want to change the icons/shortcuts that's easy.. but you need root :(
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
the I must root also this HU but I've not found the final method

my chipset is SL9853
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
That looks perfect! They should include an I33boy theme in all future releases!

Hi. I have a Dodge RAM 1500 with a tesla style 10.4" android 4.4 unit. What is the last firmware for my unit? Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Hi, I guess last firmware from jan 2019 (some pages ago I posted link for it). I didn't find more fresh firmware for Android 4.4.4
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
If I'm not wrong, I have to choose one of the 3 zip in the ALREADY_PATCHED section.

but in another following post I've found only a zip to make a simplier root

why don't we use Kingroot for all devices?
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
altered the HVAC pop-up

Never liked the huge pop-up screen that had way too much duplication to the bottom bar so I've made my own... needs a bit of tweaking but it's...

1. Smaller

2. Dark

3. Contains easy to see buttons when driving.

4. Integrates into the bottom bar
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Ok, I'm planning to implement what you are using now! What did you modify for the HVAC? Can you just share your files?
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
I think you should extract your own boot.img from your rom. Anyway, if the one you try to use doesn't fit, it should result in an error message.

Kingroot didn't make the same result add magisk or SuperSU for me. For example, couldn't use BusyBox not viper4android.

The process or the files (if useful for an 8.1 unit) would be awesome. I've been trying to do the same through KLWP, but never could get the right Intents.
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Yep, certainly willing to help anyone improve their experience with these flawed HU's :)

The thing is, it's vehicle and customer specific so the best thing is to tell me which xml layouts you use and I'll look at changing them. Extract using apktool (not the latest, the one previous) and try and determine which is yours... Its the res folder and the layout will be car specific. Or if you know what you are doing, I'll just share the apks..
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
If you share the APKs and tell me what you modified I should be good. I think I use the same folders that you do if I remember correctly.
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
But I never used these tools, I don't know the scope of these app. Then I can try to root with the easy way using kingroot... Maybe

Inviato dal mio ONEPLUS A6003 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
Well, if kingroot works for you and your don't need nothing more, I think you should try it
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
PM on it's way buddy :good:

I've tweaked it a bit
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
So, if I understand it well, what you've done is editing the image and shortcuts of the original down bar?
[Android Head-Units] l33boy:
Well all the bars and the smali code for the top bar, MusicPlayer and Launcher... Everything :o
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
Ok. My former unit stopped working, so I ordered a new one. Could I expect a little help when it arrives, if I can achieve root?
