For me I am using the firmware posted here by [MENTION=8296611]****-jones[/MENTION] (SYSTEM V7.3.2_20170801.182935_KED1) that is pre-rooted and the BT worked only one time and then stopped working after no matter what I tried, including doing a factory reset.
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
I agree with you, even I tried the same firmware and the bluetooth worked only one time and then stopped.
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Dear [MENTION=8296611]****-jones[/MENTION]

I tried changing, BC6 and BC8 one by one...

If I tick BC6, then in bluetooth app, the name and password is empty.

If I tick BC8, then in bluetooth app, the name and password is ( iTopway , 1234 )

But, notning woks..
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
In the bluetooth application, Name and Password should not be empty!

Try V7.3.2_20170826.102252_KED1

https://yadi.sk/d/95PQUvFh3NAiHu
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Why does the bluetooth app name and password become empty ?

I trired to name it as CAR KIT and password 0000, but still it doesnt work.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Because the bluetooth module is incorrectly selected in extra settings - config info or it is broken ...

You have correctly selected the BC8 module. Why does not it work? Probably something in the firmware is wrong

The MCU does not work with the bluetooth module. It's not his fault.

Remind me, what is your screen resolution?
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
This is good question... as I shared in the video, you can see that, I cannot able to select the resolution of the screen in extra settings. Before I ROOTED my HU, the resolution was 1024x600.

Video : https://youtu.be/2xlONQzFv0E Skip to 03:15
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
I saw the video.

Would you like to change the firmware to a newer one (V7.3.2_20171116.202256_KED1)? I gave a link to the previous page. Maybe this will solve your problem?
[Android Head-Units] sherifstefanos:
I will try that over the weekend and see how it goes... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Dear [MENTION=8296611]****-jones[/MENTION]

I changed the firmware to new version as you shared, after the upgrade Bluetooth connected (Name : CAR KIT, PW : 0000), but once I restarted the device.. Bluetooth doesn't work (Name : iTopWay , PW : 1234) even though this Bluetooth name doesn't appear in the phone. Still the resolution option doesnt allow me to select either 800x480 or 1024x600.

Moreover, there is message on the screen "UI unauthorized. Please contact the supplier"
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
"UI unauthorized. Please contact the supplier" - I'll delete later.

Try to disable BC-6 and BC-8 in extra settings - config info at the same time.

Why do you need to change the screen resolution?
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
You mean, un-tick the BC-6 & BC-8 immidetaily after installing firmware or I can do it now ?

I remember it was 1024x600 before I did ROOT to my HU. May be all this issues are due to the resolution.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
You can do it now.

There are no display problems? Is everything okay on the screen? Then do not change this setting.
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Try to change iTopway to Topway or TopWay and test if works.

I have/had the same problem, after renaming i could connect my phone (recognized as "unknown" device) the first time to the head unit and copy the phonebook to it.

But after that i had no time to test further.
[Android Head-Units] Transaero:
Can anyone give me the DVR app? Or post all the oem apps there are? I kinda deleted it! :D

I mean the rear view camera app
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Thanks bro, disabling BC6 and BC8 makes Bluetooth work properly.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
I'm glad I could help.

what is your firmware?
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Bro, I have another issue:(

Steering wheel controls doesn’t respond.

I just map only next and previous buttons.

But only one button responds.

Also I need Easyconneted app, or can you compile a new firmware including easy connect app and any other launcher.

I have Honda Accord 2008
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Today was the first time, i could connect my ODBII adapter to my headunit. Very nice, using torque app, really :)

Besides that, does somebody know, how i could change the progress bar in music app (after the apk is decompiled)?
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Changing the files (/res/drawabl-mdpi-v4). See screenshots
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Well i did that already, but it didn't change. This picture is from drawable-sw600dp-mdpi-v13, but i have the same png's in drawable-mdpi-v4 folder (1. picture in attachment)

Or do you know a music apk with this layout that works on our unit (2. & 3. picture in attachment)?
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Just repeating this question, to add a link to an apk file of this music app i'm searching.

It seems it is from a similar software, which this headunit (HU) is running. But this HU has 480x800 resolution, maybe thats the reason why it is crashing, when trying to start. In other case, i was able to run radio.apk's with

480x800 resolution from older HU's without problem. I also have a logcat of the failed start of the app, but i'm not good in reading logs...

Dear [MENTION=8296611]****-jones[/MENTION]

Any update regarding EasyConnected App ? (got some link to Chinese website for this app, but cannot understand http://bbs.carbit.cn/forum.php )

Can you manage to get the MCU file for my Car (Honda Accord 2008) ?

The existing MCU file version on my HU is 5.3.19-63-10-C06101-161229

My HU hardware details attached.
[Android Head-Units] mrchrister:
I'm also looking for a music app with a different layout. Really not happy with the way it displays my folders. Can you somehow at least have the folders sorted a-z ?
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
My music folders are organized like that: Artist->Album->Songs

The music app does not show Artist folders in the list, but the Album folders are sorted like Artist a-z (not like Album a-z or unsorted). I can live with that for now.

Progress on modding the music app is slow (and depends on what is the goal, you want to reach). Every new modded apk file needs to be tested in the car, which i can only do when the kids are in bed or i'm on the way to work and back. The winter temperatures does not make it easier, sittin 30 minutes in the cold car...;)

If i could get some help from [MENTION=5492644]chris.r.r[/MENTION] to port the changes he made in the music app from 480x800 to 1024x600 resolution would make life easier. But he seems not to be active on xda anymore.

hi I bought a car radio of the EinCar but I can not have root permissions.

I tried with kingoroot but with a negative result how can I do?

the characteristics of the car radio:

processor type quadcore-r16

version of android 6.0.1

mcu version 5.3.19-7-10-656201-170227

system version v7.3.1_2017113.134439-yht1

I apologize for the bad english I'm with the translator.

thank you.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
If you find the original firmware on your HU, then I can embed the root.
[Android Head-Units] alfa_156:
Thanks for your help. sorry I did not understand you need the firmware img?

anyway I tried around the web and I did not find any firmware for my car radio. there is another solution. I was thinking with adb but I do not know the procedure and the commands. what do you think can be good.
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
[MENTION=8296611]****-jones[/MENTION]

Sorry for bothering you again, but are you able to unpack this firmware package?

What i need is the stock music apk from 2.8.7 firmware.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Take it View attachment 287app.rar, there's not only a music app... ;)
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Wow, you are fast, thanks a lot :D

Yes i know, but most important file is com.tw.music_a41e.apk to compare with the modded one.
[Android Head-Units] alfa_156:
thanks a lot guys with this I can root my car. anyway, tomorrow I'll try and then I'll tell you if everything went well.

I hope it does not go to bootloop
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
First, try Easyconnected https://yadi.sk/d/xxVagjoh3QVS64
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Thanks I will try this.

Regarding your firmware, if I try to download something on my head unit then it’s saying to turn off the layer, I think it’s because of the error message on the screen
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Try a modded firmware V7.3.2_20171116.202256_KED1-mod https://yadi.sk/d/-aplOdJ93QTeWb

1. Add root

2. Add Init.d

3. No "red" message.

4. Add com.tw.fcam.apk

I recommend Factory reset after firmware flashing
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Dear [MENTION=8296611]****-jones[/MENTION]

Does "Speed-compensated volume control" actually works ?

I tried to use it, but I didn't see any changes in volume loudness while driving the car.

Do you have any idea about it ?
[Android Head-Units] sinkee:
Heya Guys,

Do you have recommendation for app for viewing videos (music videos). The default one in the latest build is basically standard one and its hiding half of the track(video) names.

What I would like to have is the app that can show the full name of the track and usability of this default one.
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
I don't think, that anybody here will get this done with default app. You can make the list bigger in layout files, but that is like pain in the a$$. And you need to think about, what to do with the small video screen (smaller? move to the right? hide?).

Have you tried VLC Player? Thats an allrounder, which i have on all of my phones.
[Android Head-Units] sinkee:
yea tried VLC but it's somehow not as good as the default stock app.

I really do like the stock video player app, just hate the thing that I don't see the whole video name on the menu on the left side :)

Referring to your post for OBD II work with Bluetooth RDA 5850SM chip

Can I know, how to know my device Bluetooth module details without opening the device.

nope :( ...

I'm looking for forums on my device and I can not find it and this seems to have the specifications of my device, I need some code and the juda to put my radio to work correctly
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
When i compare the specifications of my HU + thoose posted on this thread with your pictures, i don't think they have the same.

I am no expert on car radios, so i may be wrong.

But again, the spec's of your pics are totally different to my Allwinner device.
[Android Head-Units] nacsf:
aesthetically they are different but the operating system seems to be the same .... I know there are codes advancede mode but I do not know what they are.

my system is giving error I liked to solve I'm trying to follow some forums to see if I can solve it and try to follow those that seem almost identical to mine.

at least if I could hear an aid in how to make the radio work well. ie working between 88mhz and 108mhz was pretty, but I think I need a file that I can not find that is license.bat

I copied stock rom (navitop-mm-dump.tar.gz) to SD Card unzipped etc. SD card formatted as primary and Fat32 partition.

I copied V7.3.1_20170111.114952_TW2-IVT+ROOT+RADIO on the another to SD Card unzipped etc. SD card formatted as primary and Fat32 partition.

And I tried this option HOME+ RESET release reset keep holding Home+ and it was presenting progress bar saying update start and then end after few second.

I don't know with one slot is for GPS card so I tried both in one slot progres bar to the end and o the second doesn't.

I noted change that after logo of my car before inscription android screen became black and nothing more.

How can I fix my android ?

which firmware I should use? with how many files ?

Can you be more specific how to play with recovery mode ?

Maybe I should go now with this option to connect my laptop to the radio and update it with PhoenixSuit application and use this image sun8iw5p1_android_d7_uart0 of Android 6 ?

Plz help me

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Try to format the sd card in FAT.

Download this firmware https://yadi.sk/d/-aplOdJ93QTeWb

Use the GPS slot and the HOME + RESET method.

Try using the USB flash drive instead of the sd card.

If it does not work out again, write about it.
[Android Head-Units] hew1985:
I did as you said.

I tried with fat partition.

I copied those files V7.3.2_20171116.202256_KED1-mod.rar unzipped all of them (4)

I used only 2GB pendrive and SD card cause I heard that this can help as well.

Same effect on USB0 is presenting update start and nothing more then is continue to android inscription.

on USB1 is presenting update start and second after progress bar going to 100% and update end then then is continue to android inscription.

Maybe I should wait and it will continue update ?

Thank you for your time and help !

Hi all

I have currently a r16 4.4.2 unit installed on an opel insignia 2011 with can bus decoder. Last months and without tampering the car or the unit I face issues with the mcu. When the about info in the unit shows mcu version unknown then the radio, bluetooth and everything that is based on mcu does not work. This happens some times some other times it doesnt. I have factory reset the device many times and reflashed the mcu but the issue exists. The seller(former smart rover on aliexpress) sent me a zip with system update but i cannot update the unit. The system update does not work as well as the reset button hole and the usb keyboard trick which seems to just reboot the unit. I have ordered a mtcd px5 unit from witson but i wonder how i can temporarily fix this unit. Does anyone have an idea how to enter recovery menu.?

I attached the system info from the unit when it works.. When it does not work it shows unkwown mcu version.

Anyone can help?

Hi [MENTION=8296611]****-jones[/MENTION]

During the process of modifying launchers, I had encountered problem with my headunit.

I replaced existing launcher with modded launcher (rwrwrw) and when I tried to press Home button it doesn’t launch the launcher. Then I tried to reinstall the firmware again and after successful installation still the Home doesn’t work, the launcher doesn’t appear, then I managed to goto settings/apps/launcher and uninstalled the launcher.apk .

But still , after reinstallation of firmware the launcher doesn’t launch. It says could not start Home.

I tried even reset factory settings, hard reset button.m, but no use.

Please help
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Apps in system\app or system\priv-app should have permissions rw-r--r--
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Now I cannot access any apps, because the launcher itself doesn't launch, so i cannot go to system/priv-app.

I tried to reinstall the firmware, factory reset, hard button reset , nothing bring back launcher.. :(

I think Uninstalling launcher.apk from settings>apps caused this issue.
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Are you able to install another launcher? Or to copy any launcher apk to system\priv-app?
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
I cannot navigate to menu :(

I can only navigate to setting , from there I can only install firmware.

No access to ESexplorer, or any other apps...

Have you tried to boot into recovery and make a wipe there?
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
How to perform this recovery ?
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
You need an USB Keyboard. Plug it into an USb port of your unit (if it has more, try all). Then, on the keyboard press Alt + PrtScr + i

Maybe more than once, or hold them. You need to figure out, what works.

In recovery, make a wipe.

Make sure you have your firmware files on your sdcard, that you can do a clean flash after the wipe.
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Thanks I will try that, but my HU doesn’t have any SD card slot, it has only 2 USB slots.

So after wipe, can I install firmware from USB ?
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Hm, don't know. Use the way you did before, i would say.
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
What’s happens after clean wipe ?

Does it boot ?

Do you have any video for this process ?
[Android Head-Units] old.splatterhand:
Idon't think, that it will boot. You need to flash the firmware first.

I don't have a video, maybe on youtube.
[Android Head-Units] dick-jones:
Remind me of your firmware V7.3.2_20171116.202256_KED1?

In this case, during the installation of the firmware it is necessary to mark the item Wipe data and format flash. Then press USB. See screenshot

​

If there is no such thing, then just install the firmware, and then make Setting-Car settings-Factory reset.

In the future, if you again want to change the launcher, then first install another launcher in addition to the existing one.

Good luck.
[Android Head-Units] rizu3544:
Wow, that works ( Wipe data and format flash. Then press USB ) ... :)
