I actually know the answer to this. I just had the JY-CL001N2 installed in my vehicle which also has the factory Bose in it. Since I had it professional installed I was informed that the the HU was sending an already amplified signal into another amplifier (Bose) hence the overwhelming volume. The issue was resolved by add a line level converter.
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
Make sure the the LOUD function is off

You can lower the volume even more in the Car Settings app the Volume Balance Settings menu.

Need Some Help with SWC

I just updated my JY-CL001N2 from 5.1.1. to 6.0.1 and lost my steering wheel controls. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I have reached out to Joying support but haven't heard back from them yet. If this has been answered on other thread I apologize in advance for posting this here.

Update. I found the fix after numerous email with Joying Tech Support and trial & error. I had to reset the CANBus to XP, OTHER, GMS, XP2103.

After the update and restart my steering wheel controls were back online.
[FYT Android Head Units] LoGnarlo:
Do you have any particular model to recommend?

Yes, I've already turned off LOUD and lowered the various levels from the Volume Balance Settings app, but with poor results.

Is there no solution to be applied through software?
[FYT Android Head Units] bigsteve01:
I'm not too sure it would work but you could try installing viper4android and lower the gain there
[FYT Android Head Units] CampbellLTZ:
PAC LP7-4 Universal 4-Channel Line Output Converter is what they used.

I did notice that on the HU under Car Settings, Options, there is an AMP on/off switch. This may also help resolve your issue.

[MENTION=7863302]LoGnarlo[/MENTION]

The audio signal on the Joying connector is already amped, but the RCA outs (red and white plugs) are line level. I just installed an external amp off those RCA outputs and it sounds amazing.
[FYT Android Head Units] wrx216:
Curious what was there reasoning for adding line level converter's when the unit has line level out ??
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
I don't know exactly how you connect your unit but what I can say for sure is that when I set up my unit at home I use the rca line out to connect to an home amp that connects to a pair of speakers and I DON'T touch anything on the headunit, all the settings are stock and the line-out signal is perfectly fine, no distortion, the volume power is how it's supposed to be.... it acts just like any other music device with line-out.
[FYT Android Head Units] LoGnarlo:
All the car speakers plus the subwoofer are controlled by the bose amplifier in the hood of the machine, the HU simply connects to the ISO plug, but I had to connect the REMOTE cable to power everything, otherwise no sound is heard. However, the audio quality is excellent. The only problem is that the volume remains too high even at level 1

[MENTION=8307325]CampbellLTZ[/MENTION] Thanks for the info!

[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
As far as I know the ISO plug has the speaker(s) out signal that are amplified (by Joying) so the problem that you have it makes sense to me now. I am pretty sure that your original car unit did not had the amplification build it, at best it had only an preamp in it because the speaker amplification was designed to be taken care of by the Bose amp.

I really don't see you can cut down the signal even more... you need to speak with the guys that do this for a living (car tunning and stuff)... I am sure they have some kind of device to solve your problem.
[FYT Android Head Units] ztbishop:
Hi - do you remember the steps you took to pair? On my phone, the ODBLink MX will generate a different pairing code every time and simply ask my phone to 'Confirm' the number. You click yes and it pairs.

On the Joying (6.0.1) - I can now have the option to pair with OBDLink MX. However, the prompt never shows to confirm this unique number, causing the pairing to fail.

I've replaced the bluetooth app, as well as replaced the settings folder (which allows me to open the Android bluetooth manager). I've also tried Bluetooth Auto-Pair. However this app again only gives me the option to 'Enter' a pairing code, which is never presented to me on the Joying, as it's not static. Perhaps this isn't yet possible with system 6.
[FYT Android Head Units] zerozoneice:
you did try to enter factory settings and adjust (lower) gain in there for certain sources?
[FYT Android Head Units] LoGnarlo:
Certainly, but the volume is still too high :(
[FYT Android Head Units] CampbellLTZ:
[MENTION=7863302]LoGnarlo[/MENTION] Are you going to try to inline converter? It really made a difference for me. Now if I could just get the steering wheel controls to work I would be a happy person.
[FYT Android Head Units] LoGnarlo:
I think it's the only solution. Tomorrow I try to find it in some shop in the area.

I connected the commands without any interface. Simply wiring HU key1 / key2 cables to my steering wheel controls. Remember that you also have to connect the ground cables of the SWC to the chassis :laugh:
[FYT Android Head Units] treel:
I have made some research and updated to android 6.0.1 the modified app don't work on the 6.0.1. It's only work on the 5.1.1 version.

Actually OBDLinkMX i think that the number you see is not generated from from the OBD adapter but from the phone or device you pair.

In the 5.1.1 version i was able to pair the oblink with any pin i entered because the PIN is only use for pairing.

I'm working on to modified the 6.0.1 bluetooth app a think i now where the problem is but need some time.

I have problem with the 6.0.1 version i'm not able to run the stock settings only the one from joying.

If you wait maybe i finish the work and it will work again.
[FYT Android Head Units] CampbellLTZ:
I guess I should have prefaced that with "It worked after the unit was installed, but when I update the OS to 6.0.1, the steering wheel controls stopped working". I am working with tech support for Joying but because of the time difference, US & China, this one a day email is very frustrating. I just want a solution so that I can use the hand controls.
[FYT Android Head Units] treel:
I'm not exactly sure but you need to pair the kyes in car setting and the pairing process has changed i think.

You need to hold the steering wheel key down and then press the desire function in the setup after that you can release the steering wheel button.
[FYT Android Head Units] wrx216:
Sounds to me the oem headunit uses line level throw the iso connector , so you could get a set of RCA cables and cut the plugs of and wire it to the iso connector..... Just a thought
[FYT Android Head Units] zerozoneice:
and the amp itself has no gain adjustment knobs, or anything?
[FYT Android Head Units] LoGnarlo:
Umh it might work :eek: I should try to modify some iso plugs and see if there are improvements this way.

nope, originally it's all run by the oem radio and a microphone hidden in the dashboard, it regulates both volume and equalization. Now the microphone was excluded because it is not connected to the radio.
[FYT Android Head Units] biggy238:
You can buy or build line level shunts for the bose amps, or try the rca outputs. Bose has been that way for years, along with using low impedance speaker coils.

The up side to the shunt is that they have adjustable pots so you can dial in the appropriate amount of output VS audio level, effectively acting the same as the gain on an aftermarket amp

Just posted here https://xdaforums.com/and...9#post72525239 a HUGE Q&A with lots of step by step tutorials regarding Joying 25May firmware Intel Sofia.

It's still work in progress but for know it ... almost done.
[FYT Android Head Units] rknuette:
Hi,

I'm on Android 6 and tried to update to May 25 update file (5009 - 6.0->6.0 file). The installation proces starts, the unit reboots, the little robot tells me that the system update in in progress - and after appr. 5 seconds the update stops with a message (from my mind) "Fingerprint issue update expected 5.1.1".

I'm sure that I downloard the correct file (JOYING 5009 6.0 6.0.zip [with some chinese symbols in file name]) and I've got an 5009 model.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

The update from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 went fine, but this update doesn't.

It does not work on my device.

It will be installed i can see it on the laptop and the radioapp will be killed.

But after reboot it is still the original radio app..

Maybe on 6.0.1 it is different?

I have looked into system/app with root explorer but there is no backup of the radio app called .........old

Edit:

Viper4android workes

Root works.

So i doo the right job using ADB and commands.
[FYT Android Head Units] zorantoma:
Just delite the old apk and copy the new one with a root explorer in the folder,set permisions and you are good to go

Got it but now the icon disappears from the appdrawer and i cant use the radio but i hear it in the background...

Have to reinstall the firmware to get it back again..

Greetings
[FYT Android Head Units] rknuette:
Ok, I helped myself: after the error messages apreared, I just pressed the RESET button while not removing the usb drive. Then the installation processed to the end.

Another option seems to be to rename the 5009_60.zip on the radio into 5009_20.zip. This also helped later on when I had to reinstall due to the touchpad keytone option bug.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
The fact that you hear the radio in the background, without having a radio app installed, is because Joying uses some 2-step model: the CarRadio apk and the Radio apk.

The CarRadio does the functional stuff: The radio is just the frontend allowing you to tweak it all.

As already mentioned personally to you via a PM on the github repo: Just this afternoon I made a split for 5.1.1 and 6.0.1

Simply so that people no longer install the 5.1.1 mods on 6.0.1

I also mentioned that I added both for the 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 the original Joying one (JOYING_DEFAULT) for re-install.

However, you mentioned there that the 6.0.1 mod worked. Please confirm or let me know whether you still need something else.

(My own issues with my own radio mod for 6.0.1 was due to an incorrect "aapt" which is one of the underlying tools. I do 95% on linux and decided to repeat my steps on windows and it worked immediately. This is actually stupid as these tools were developed on linux. When troubleshooting I finally found it. apktool 2.2.2 uses its own aapt. You need to remove the 2.0.8 which comes installed on debian/ubuntu like linuxes. Still bugs me why these combo did work for 5.1.1)
[FYT Android Head Units] Clandaries:
Got it to work now.

After 25 times it worked finally ;)

Thank you, love it.

Is there a way to set the default start up volume?
[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
I tried to switch to Poweramp player from PlayerPro because Poweramp has a better interface, more customisable, can download missing album art and so on.

I found 2 problems that are a deal breaker...

1. If it's left playing when I turn off the car it does not start when I start the car. I am not using it on daily basis, I use other apps to play music. I want to start the music only when left active.

2. there are some moments when out of the blue it stops, I press play and it goes on....

Have you managed to find a solution?

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Yes ! In Car Settings app, first tab, lower left, scroll down till you found "Default boot volume" and set it to a decent 7 or 8... the default is 18 and it's too much.
[FYT Android Head Units] biggy238:
Thank You!

Circumstantially,

I've only been working with power amp since yesterday, but I found out that while it is playing, the steering wheel skip will actually skip Google play music, causing GPM to begin playing a new song in the background.

Somehow my killing UI3 also killed the task killer, so GPM is running in the background.

Also, if I'm on the radio, and hit the play button on the poweramp widget, it will not play until I open the app and press play.

Question to you all here (Hopefully in the right thread)

I want to buy soon a joying radio with android 6 on it.

I don't have a 2 din slot in my car so i am bound to the 1 din slots.

Now i see in this thread that it is about a sofia joying (All the modifications and such)

Is the newest 10,1 inch 1 din radio from joying also a sofia or not? (Or the 7/8 inch, but rather have the 10 inch ;) )

Need to know this before i go purchase it and most of the modifications in this thread wont work on it :(

As most of you with Joying dab+, I've been struggling with bad reception and the horrible app. I had the "best" window antenna (Funke) mounted, but would still have issues with signal drops and stuttering, in fact dab was unusable and I ended up using internet radio instead. However, last week I got my new roof aerial, an OEM VW shark fin (with a stubby on top) that has radio, dab, gps and phone (which I haven't connected). After hooking this up to my head unit, reception has been perfect. I haven't had a single drop or loss of signal. Reception strength has been max every time I've checked. Obviously there's something wrong with the reception on these head units, as other after market dab addons (like tiny dab) will get great reception with a window aerial, but for me at least, this has completely cured the issue. I also use the modded dab app to avoid stuttering and for a slightly better UI.

This is the aerial I got (works on all VW group cars as far as I know) although I got it on ebay, not this site: http://www.cars-equipment.com/www/en/shop/parts/oem-6r0035501d-vw-skoda-roof-shark

Anyone ever futz around with speed sensitive volume? I found an app in the playstore that works if you are playing audio over bluetooth because it controls the bluetooth volume on your phone, but I was hoping to have something that could do the same on the Joying radio by controlling the main volume of the head unit so that any source would be controlled by this. Any thoughts?

Hi! Did you find a solution for your problem with swc and poweramp? I have exactely the same problem but instead of google play music it is spotify. Can't figure out how to stop the swc triggering both apps... Even when killing spotify in the task killer this happens.

Also noticed that if i turn off the car after playing around with poweramp and spotify and starting it again the joying performs a full reboot, so maybe some weird process in the background causing high battery drain?
[FYT Android Head Units] biggy238:
No, but mine does the same thing, i can hit skip and power amp will skip immediately since it's open, and Google play takes almost a full second, as if it has to start the application.

I think I'm having the same problem on my device. It seems to pause music player apps anytime I press something on my phone while it's connected over Bluetooth. Does the pausing stop for you when you're not connected via Bluetooth?

I think it seems like the click sound my phone makes when opening an app causes the music player to stop, even though I have that sound disabled on my phone. That's the only explanation I could come up with.
[FYT Android Head Units] rnabi99:
I think that happens to me too.

[FYT Android Head Units] mcbegby:
Thats strange... maybe it is a PowerAmp specific problem? Does anyone use PowerAmp with Spotify or Google Play music without this happening or can provide a solution then please give us a hint. This is really frustrating.
[FYT Android Head Units] biggy238:
I don't think it's the software as far as apps. It's something about how the kernel perceives a global intent from the hardware key input and how the apps interpret that broadcast. I don't do development so my terminology is probably off, but that's what I think is happening whether I'm stating it correctly or not.

The kernel broadcasts that it had a hardware input, it broadcasts this on the system, and then ALL of the apps listening for that intent react to it, not just the one currently being used.
[FYT Android Head Units] mcbegby:
Tested it now with PlayerPro instead of PowerAmp with the same result. Thats super annoying and really bugs me. So obviously you are right that it is related to the way Joying integrates the swc in android. Unfortunately I'm far from being a developer as well. But somehow it has to be possibly to prevent this from happening?!

[FYT Android Head Units] edit:
I gave up on Google Play Music and TuneIn especially for their music controls hijacking "feature" that made a mess of everything.

Instead of Google Play Music I found Deezer is a good replacement.

Instead of TuneIn I found XiiaLive Pro that it's 5 times better and it's also a lot more cheaper on the Google store than TuneIn.

I only use it for my uploaded music. You probably need the proper GPM for the subscription features, unfortunately.

How do I get music apps to recognize all the songs on my USB? I've tried tons of music apps and they all only get artists from A-C from my Usb.

I do not have that problem, all the music players I have used recognize artists, albums and songs.

If you use your music in mp3 format and your folders are edited with an editor like Mp3tag should work fine.
