I will try and do so:)
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Just ordered mine, but with 2.5inch curved IPS display. I will try to make a frame to fit my car.

I won't be using the digital out for now, I will try the RCA out first and see. I like the build in eq.

My last joying unit had hissing noise when not playing music, hope this one will be quieter.
[Android Head-Units] guimond47:
Yeah. For the average user, their dsp seems to have eq front and rear independently. Which is nice.

You can also order a longer ribbon for their screens to locate the unit in a different area from their screens. This would probably help with the mold you want to make for your display.

If you have a high fidelity sound stage like me. : tweeter on an amp, mid ranges on a separate amp, woofers on another amp . Then rear stage on another amp, then all amps hooked up to a 10 ch output dsp to control each speaker independently.

The built in dsp is no good for me. But the digital output will be king to supply my external dsp with digital audio??
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
I did research some DSP (Thanks for the tip on youtube). I came up with the Rockford Fosgate DSR1 for $283, which was the cheapest of them all. I will wait and try out the build in DSP first before jumping onto this one.

I currently have an 5 channel infinity amp coupled with a pioneer monoamp for the sub.

I am also using component in front and coaxial in rear. I am using the crossover that came with infinity speakers for the front.

Not sure if I should connect the sub directly to the unit or leave it connected to the infinity amp. I will have to play around and see which gives better sound.
[Android Head-Units] guimond47:
The rockford is a nice unit, i tried it out myself. I am not sure if it has a coaxial digital input. I forget.

Another thing i did not like was it does not have presets and their app is not too android friendly...(to be run on a head unit apk)

And i also forget if it has volume control knob...

This is why i went with audio control.
[Android Head-Units] guimond47:
My head unit should be arriving by next weekend i hope . Then ill be gearing up to make a huge review video , based on audio quality and features and obviously the new spdif digital output!
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Can you test the rcas as well and not just spdif? I'm planning on getting one myself but I will only go digital if the normal rca output is bad. Also can you test spdif to see if you can control the volume through headunit or steering wheel controls instead of using dsp volume knob? I guess if you could be as thorough with some of thr main feature(wifi, Bluetooth, 4g, sound quality from both outputs, camera input etc) that would be very helpful. I've never pulled the trigger on an android headunit because the lack of some features and poor sound quality but I'm almost ready to get this one. Which size did you buy?
[Android Head-Units] guimond47:
I will for sure be doing exactly as you mentionnned above. I will also be using my oscilloscope to measure distortion in the rca’s. I had a eonon headunit and there was terrible noise in the rca’s and even more noise when a Hard drive was plugged into the usb ports. And more noise with my 360view camera hooked up.

I will be doing bench testing first then i will be moving to vehicle testing.
[Android Head-Units] guimond47:
I bought the double din 10.1” headunit intel with 4gb ram and 32gb ssd.

Its going in my 1997 chev c/k1500 pick up. I have hifi audio in there . Ill be doing more upgrades down the road as well.
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Sweet. I'm excited to see the results. I just hope it isn't a let down. I really want to go ahead and order one but if you're doing a review I'd rather wait. I've wanted an android head unit since they came out. I've even looked at building a raspberry pi or like rock pi and adding a screen but I just don't think I'd be happy with the results. These Android head units really have a lot of features but the sound quality has been the deal breaker for me. I asked JOYING what their rca voltage is and they always tell me they don't have voltage... Not sure what they mean but whatever. For all of our sakes I hope this one gets the job done.
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Mine will be delivered tomorrow, but I wont be to test it out until next weekend since i will be out of town.

For sound, i will be using the rca going to my amp, not planning g on using a DAC right now.
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Just make sure you tell us about it as soon as possible lol.
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Just got mine yesterday, but what a disappointment, no digital audio out. Although I did order the one with the digital audio out.

I emailed them back, but they told me they are on vacation and will not return until Feb14 or something, but the lady said she will replaced it for me.

I just powered it on on my bench, so I have not been able to play with the audio in the car or the equalizer, will do so this weekend.

The 10.1 2.5D curved screen is nice though
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Dang that sucks. It looks like it has the 4g dongle built in. Are you able to test that out?
[Android Head-Units] guimond47:
Usually its under the yellow cap... instead of the yellow video 2 out, it will be a green rca. Take off your yellow caps.

My video should be on YouTube by tomorrow.

Everything you can ever possibly want in an android headunit is finally here. Crisp sound through the digital source and no noise or hiss on the rca’s .

Be patient i will post a youtube link shortly. Better grab popcorn, my vid is 1.5 hour long lol
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
That's great news. Can't wait to see the review. Did you order model(JY-UO134N4G)? I want to make sure I get the right one when I go to order.
[Android Head-Units] BlueChris:
Why you don't ask them? I mean ask them if you are allowed to do that replacement because you dont want to lose your guarantee.

If they say yes proceed, if no RMA it.
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
My issues are constant wifi drops from my phone hotspot and people I call cannot hear me.

Candy from Joying also sent me the new firmware and said to try it.

I will upgrade and see if those issues are still there.
[Android Head-Units] GammaPaladin:
Man, going by their return policy as laid out on their site, I was expecting to have to ship the unit back, and wait for them to receive it and inspect it before they sent out the new one, but they're sending me a new screen component already, just had to put down a $50 deposit which they say they'll refund me after they get the defective screen back.

Frankly dealing with them has been more pleasant than expected on all fronts.
[Android Head-Units] DylanHarper:
I've downloaded the update from the website and I'm slightly confused, when I unzip the main file, there is a folder within which is zipped, does this need to be unzipped aswell?
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Yeah although these Chinese units seem to be made from the same parts, joying seems like they are the ones pushing ahead of the pack. Especially with adding in digital out. I would have never ordered this unit if it didn't have digital out. I'm just hoping these units last. I'm a little concerned about how they handle hot weather.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

You only unzip one time. There will be 12 files and one of which is zip but you leave that one alone. Drop those on root of sd usb and plug into the left hand usb port if looking at from the front. Or you can just out sd card into the SD slot with the unit powered on. It will auto detect and prompt you for the update. It will error out once it boots into recovery mode but just let it sit and wait for a prompt that it's complete. Once it's done mine booted up and I hit reset.

One weird thing about the newest firmware is the stock file manager likes to randomly pop up and I'm not sure why. It's a little annoying when I'm driving.
[Android Head-Units] GammaPaladin:
For me, it was just a matter of it fitting my needs better than anything mainstream. I won't be using the digital out, my vehicle doesn't even have an amp. But I looked at Android Auto, and Mirrorlink, but AA is in a mess of a state at the moment, and Mirrorlink is Samsung exclusive almost (There are a few other select models from other companies that support it, but mostly it's Samsung). As much as I like Samsung, I'm on Fi and not keen to give up the full seamless network switching so yeah.

It seems like all the major name brands can't get their acts together on this ****. Joying's solution just works, and in my opinion that makes everyone else look deservedly bad.
[Android Head-Units] gazenbeek:
whats the factory code? old 126 wont work

joying unit says canbus version unknown and tey did supply it with the unit.

maybe not set right

[Android Head-Units] thechemist13:
I have one of the newest head units and Zlink starts every time I turn on my car, does anyone know how to stop that? I do not have my phone plugged into the unit, Zlink just starts automatically.

Also, does anyone know what is the largest USB flash drive the unit can read?
[Android Head-Units] feket663:
This is my solution with 6,2 inch Joying HU for my Renault Laguna Coupe. Certainly the steering wheel control is working too, I installed resistors to original SWC unit, it's still factory looking.
[Android Head-Units] feket663:
When I bought my HU, was first thing uninstalling zlink software.
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
It reads my 400 gb sd card just fine. Also read it when I had it in usb adapter.
[Android Head-Units] GammaPaladin:
So the replacement screen unit showed up today, and I swapped it out for the existing one and... still no touch response.

Finally decided I'd go ahead and open up the box and swap the ribbon cable for a new one, still no touch response, on either screen.

Guess I'm gonna be back with joying support again.
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
That sucks...
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Hi guys,

I got an email from Candy from Joying, and she want to get some feedback/issues from you on the new firmware.

If you let me know, I will relay it to her

So far, this is what I have experienced:

-WIFI drop occasionally, but not as often as with the previous firmware.

-Stock file manager likes to randomly pop up (I am experiencing this also)

-Call quality??? Have not tried the call yet. I purchased a new microphone and waiting to try it with this new firmware.

Also, those of you using the 4G, she wants to know if you have seen any improvement.
[Android Head-Units] colonel_lp:
My issues are:

Bluetooth is crippled, I have the unit in my motorhome, and I can't connect to my Mac, my battery chargers or battery monitors, if I'd known this I wouldn't have bought it.

Access to all volumes is not there, alarm is muted, ringer is muted (If I can call the unit, I should be able to answer it)

I also can't hear the Google assistant, and wonder if this is also muted.

Generally it would be nice to have access to all the normal Android settings.

4G seems fine to me.

Edit:

reboot changes keyboard back to AOSP.

Would like more volume steps.
[Android Head-Units] r89110:
Hello can you ask about making swc work for spotify and YouTube. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
I'm gonna go ahead and ask, what is SWC?
[Android Head-Units] r89110:
Sterning wheel controls
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
Ahhh, ok thanx
[Android Head-Units] kouklo:
Has anyone setup the DS1 with this HU yet? Obviously the spdif goes to the DSP first but what about the sub out? Did you go straight to the amp or the DS1 first?
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Spdif to ds1, then ds1 FR,FL,RR,RL, SUB (L,R) to amp.

The ds1 controls your sub

The sub coming out of the unit is not used if using spdif
[Android Head-Units] kouklo:
Ahhhh I see. I thought it was SPDIF and sub out. My bad, thanks for that.
[Android Head-Units] gazenbeek:
sound quality is far superiour than my old ownice c500+

i can finally make a call through bluetooth and audio is ok.

its fast and responsive

for ford steering wheel control

but in spotify i cant select next or previous song. volume up and down works..

in the built in mediaplayer, volume up and down and next and previous work

and in tomtom navigator go i cant select a different audio channel for voice guidence. the volume is set the same level as music. annoying..
[Android Head-Units] kouklo:
Mine just came in about 20 min ago. I have it on the bench and I'm already having some issues. It's connected to WIFI but nothing is working on it. It won't sign in to the play store, I can't even use Chrome.

Update- I did a factory reset and everything is fine now. Super strange.
[Android Head-Units] DylanHarper:
I've got one installed in a ford as well, I dowloaded the android auto app, which works and I can control next and previous on Spotify with the steering wheel controls.
[Android Head-Units] GammaPaladin:
Finally got it working. They sent me a replacement for the box part of it (As opposed to the screen part) and this one works. Now I just have to send one box and one screen back to them and get my $50 deposit back lol.

But it's all working and installed now.

Only down side is the netflix app won't run on it.
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
So bottom line, how much out of pocket will you be on this in the end?
[Android Head-Units] GammaPaladin:
$400 or so, plus the cost to ship the defective unit back, whatever that amounts to.

Not really bothered, that's less than I'd have spent if I'd gone with a Kenwood Android Auto unit.
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
Yeah I was mainly interested in how much out of pocket that was unplanned for?
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Guys,

New firmware is available

Also whoever is using the 4G, she wants to know the carrier and what kind of sim card you are using:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nice day, this is Candy from JOYING.

Thanks for your feedback.

But can you know which type 4G SIM Card cannot work in our unit? What type 4G SIM Card can work fine?

Now we released a new firmware again, hope you can try this one:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ukLTt99odEP2QHwvNJfL2-xSNJNTOL4t

This new firmware can solve the issue file manager pops up on the screen. Pls try.

Pls kindly try it and test the unit again.

Thanks

Best regards,

Candy

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Android Head-Units] colonel_lp:
Are there changes other then the file manager?
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
I might not install this firmware. At least not yet. I don't really feel like reinstalling all my apps and the filer manager doesn't pop up that often for me.
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
+1

Same here, I hate that.

Not sure about the changelog, I will check with her.
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Looks like I'm going to be trying the new firmware. I have my first serious issue. I just hooked up my subs and amp, previously I just had mids and highs. Now my tweeters are popping at volume 11+ almost like they are getting a bass signal. This is a critical issue and as of right now I have no idea how it's even possible. I have crossovers, I'm also using the crossover built into the Rockford dsr1 and again on my mids and highs amp. If I unhook the rcas to my sub amp the issue goes away. It doesn't make sense how my subs/sub amp can somehow output bass to my tweeters.
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
I tried the new firmware and my issue above is still present which I figured it would be. The filer manager popped up once for me so I dunno if that's resolved or not. I'm more concerned about the popping noise from my tweeters right now. This is why I avoided buying an android head unit for so long.. It's going to be hard to go back to a normal one after this.
[Android Head-Units] GammaPaladin:
Well it cost me $70 to ship it back today. I'll get the $50 deposit I gave Joying back when they receive the package, so basically $70 unplanned for. It would of course have been cheaper for me to just eat the deposit fee and not send it back, but they've been pretty good so I decided to be nice.
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
And ya might not be done dealing with them...
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
My issue looks to be the Rockford dsr1. I bypassed the dsr1 by hooking up to the rcas and I did not experience any popping noise. Sending the dsr1 back for a replacement and will use rcas for now.
[Android Head-Units] HHU68:
Did you connect the dat.1 with the digital out or rca?
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
DSR1 is connected using digital.
[Android Head-Units] HHU68:
mmmmmhhh, i bought the intel unit because of the built in 4G which works fine in the Netherlands and the digital out, to hook on an dsp like the dat.1.

---------- Post added at 06:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------

dat.1 = DSR.1
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
It was working just fine but suddenly started sending a popping noise to all speakers. It was only when my subwoofers were hooked up. At first I thought it was only popping through mids and highs but it was also the subs. Only happens when the subs are hooked up. I sent the dsr1 back and they are testing it. Hopefully they find that it is defective and don't just send it back cause the rcas on head unit didn't have the popping noise. So if it's not the dsr1 I have no idea what it could be.
[Android Head-Units] talroot:
Has anyone else noticed after they use google assistant to do a voice search then attempt to make a call over bluetooth, the person on the other end can't hear you? It's like the google assistant app takes over the MIC and speaking on a call is no longer possible. If I reboot the unit and make an outbound/receive an inbound call, all is good. As soon as the assistant is used for a voice search again, no more MIC to bluetooth. This really sucks because it seems to work really well but I have to be heard on phone calls..

Some other things:

hardware button lights stopped working randomly (still light up on boot up but not when the unit is full booted. Checked and it's still enabled for "white").

weather widget never updates temperature on homescreen when tethered to wifi (so I deleted it).

if i'm using youtube and "kill" everything with recent apps, youtube is still playing in the background. I have to open it back up manually and pause>recent apps>click the X on the window

i'm still on original firmware that shipped with my unit
[Android Head-Units] R4m80:
See if the lights come on when you put your car's headlights on. There is a setting that changes the behaviour between always on and only on when you turn your headlights on.
[Android Head-Units] talroot:
I don't think that's it as there have been several mornings I leave when it's dark and my headlights are on (not DRL) and the keys are still not lit up. I wasn't aware of that setting though so good to know.
[Android Head-Units] feket663:
If you set the Backlight control to Time control, after 18.30 the unit switch to on the keys, and reduces brightness of LCD.
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Concerning the DSR-1

I was also getting a loud poping noise from my speakers, but this was only when I start the car.

But I was able to fix it when I move my amp turn on to the DSR-1, before I had it connected to ACC.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Joying release a new firmware yet again, please try this one.

I upgraded last night and did a lot of testing, and so far all my previous issues are gone.

No more file manager popping randomly

Now I can access my SWC settings and remap my keys if needed

My WIFI is very stable

Please try it and post here if you see any issues so I can feed it back to them.

They seem to be very responsive about issues and bugs, that's why they have these many releases.

I know it sucks to have to redownload all your apps after the upgrade, there is noway around it.

There is a folder call OEM, where they put all their .apk, I was wondering if you put your .apk there and then upgrade, it will install them for you. This way you do not have to re-download all your apps.

----------------------------------

Hi Assad,

Nice day, this is Candy from JOYING.

Thanks for your email and info.

1). Sorry for it, now here is a new firmware we write for it, pls try:

For resolution 1024*600 models: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1io9gXBS70aJv_1_alXpkwNCRicguqaii

For resolution 800*480 models: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qbvxcxSzP85xi23BcetdUMSFwJiYcggH

2). So it is your OEM Car steering wheel control, and you used an adapter.

Pls try this new firmware and reset the unit.

Then try it again.

Waiting for your feedback.

Best regards,

Candy
[Android Head-Units] talroot:
Another good tip. That was working on my old unit with Malaysk's Rom and was wondering if this one had something like that. Do you know if those variables are adjustable or what time in the AM does it default to full brightness? I keep thinking about taking time to go through the menus thoroughly but I manage to find other things to do besides sit in my truck when I get home!
[Android Head-Units] feket663:
ou

I couldn't find adjustment on menu...
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Do you have mids/highs as well as subwoofers? My popping noise happens on volume 11+ during music. When the bass hits my speakers all pop. I have been using the drs1 remote turn on the whole time.
[Android Head-Units] Oamamn5:
I'm really interested in buying the joying double din on Amazon for 300 bucks it has 4gb of ram and everything I want but does anyone know the rca voltage of the unit? I can't deal with .2v and that's what I've heard the older units had but I'm wondering if they've upgraded or something. I do happen to have a pac ld-10 which is a line driver basically ups the voltage of the rca between the unit and the amp but I'm wondering how much that would help if the output of the unit is so low? Anyone can provide assistance or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
.

Check the review on YouTube, I believe it is covered there (the long review 1.5 hours)
[Android Head-Units] Oamamn5:
Jesus it's .5 volts well that's extremely low. I guess ima have to figure out a way to get my atoto a6 to work with viper4android.
[Android Head-Units] msw831831:
Anyone know if this Model Supports Verizon 4G sim Cards. I cant seem to get mine to work
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Just get a dsr1 and use digital out.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

Not sure if it supports Verizon but once you stick the sim card in you have to hit the reset button on the top left. Once it reboots it should work if it supports Verizon. Also try upgrading the firmware if it still doesn't work. I have att and it worked but not so well.
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Looks like there's another new firmware. I just found this site that shows updated firmware. Unfortunately it doesn't have any release notes.

https://www.joyingauto.com/blog/category/updated-files-released/

Actually looks like it's the same firmware posted last but this site is good to have either way.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
No. It is the same "new" firmware as was released on 4 April. (build date 29-03-2019)
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
Yeah I know. I corrected myself in the same post.
[Android Head-Units] strawsy:
So I sent back my Rockford Fosgate dsr1 and it was indeed defective. They were out of stock so I got the JL twk 88 instead. I no longer have any popping noises coming through my speakers. Seems as though my head unit is just fine.
[Android Head-Units] Crapy:
Anyone know where to get the latest firmware for UOS08N4G?
[Android Head-Units] DustoMan:
Has anyone tried to use the 4G in one of these headunits with a Project Fi sim in the US? Like others, just trying to see if there's a 4G service in the US that will work with the built-in modem.
