Yes, it is possible, even unrooted to change to another, and I cant honestly say the new one is better because I just installed it the day before yesterday, but it seems faster and its always nice to have a rooted android device.

The radio and all the other stuff looks exactly like vanilla (default/standard), its only the homescreen launcher that have changed, but i really like the new design/buttons/app drawer.

To change the launcher just write "change home screen launcher on android" in google. There are some pretty sweet ones in Google Play to choose from.

To get radio names on the radio I think you need a DAB+ adapter.

Regarding apps.... I use spotify for music, and is linked with wifi to my phones hotspot, but there are also quite a few radio apps for free.

I tried a couple of Navigation apps, mostly because Google Maps had a horrible design for landscape mode, and iirc Waze was the best, but google have changed their design for the better, as well as supplying the speed limit (which was a key selling point with Waze), so I have returned to Google maps.

I also bought a cheap OBD2 bluetooth adapter so I could use apps like torque, but ended up using this on "Car Scanner ELM OBD2" from playstore, because the bluetooth software in the car couldnt connect to the OBD2 adapter. However, since I'm a programmer, I developed an app that could connect to the OBD2 via bluetooth.

Another thing I noticed is that by plugging in a USB stick into one of the USB ports, and doing a drive test, it looked like the speed was actually faster on the usb than on the boards flash memory (have to double check though).

One thing I just tested was the microphone. The standard build in is reaally crappy, so I tested 2 others (one from a bluetooth receiver for the car before I bought the head unit, and another which is actually a USB cam for PC.) and the cam had much much better sound quality (camera is crap 240p or something though).

Tomorrow Im gonna test whether the kernel allows swap files, because its annoying to restart apps just because of the low memory (1gb). Will be back with results.
[Android Head-Units] Afrikaans:
Thanks for the help..

i'll try the UI4 Apk then.

Do i need root?

I saw in google one guy who unsealed the internal microphone and soldered a new external microphone.

I'll try this weekend.
[Android Head-Units] Vincentz1911:
The TWPR is a root ROM.

though keep in mind that the factory settings code is 1111 and not 8888 as the original.

Also there was a file you need to delete called "preloader_8227L_demo.bin". Dont ask my why, maybe someone more experienced on this forum can answer that ;)

I uploaded it here :

megaup.net/3wKbq/YT9218C_00005_V003_20190225_HIFI_ROOT_TWRP_USB.rar

All I did was to copy the folder XYAUTO to the USB stick (8GB) and pressed reset button (the one under the mic), and then it immediately started updating. However it took a while, so be patient. Also it should be in the 4-pin usb port, not the 6 port.

But please keep in mind, this is my second root in my entire life, and that I take no responsibilities for what happens. It worked for me though.

I can take a picture of mine, just to make sure we have identical ones.

Rooting?

Hi everbody. I also got a chinese headunit. My main concern is the volume that suddenly goes to 15 every once in a while when i start the car. I think its the radio app thas buggy. I was thinking of upgrading my firmware to achieve root. These r my system pics. Would updating firmware slove this issue?
[Android Head-Units] dutchcommando:
when you get the name of the station... di you have a internet connection? it could be downloaded from the internet..

if not..

go to the factory menu settings and check your radio settings, check if the rds is switched on.
[Android Head-Units] vladamreza:
Thanks for help.

Name of stations from time to time appear in notification, and without internet

When I`m in factory settings after( enter in 8888 code) I find radio and when I enter there is no option to switch on RDS, there are only tree options FM Inside (that is marked) NXP6851 and Auto find. When I want to change popup ask me to save and in spite of saving when I come back unit didn`t save my change.
[Android Head-Units] Afrikaans:
It worked like a charm... So easy :good:

Downloaded, createfolder in usbdisk - reset button and just had to wait.

I didn't deleted the file "preloader_8227L_demo.bin" any problem with that?!?

The interface looks good is it possible to change the date and time format?!

In this site u shared (https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=936535&view=findpost&p=92095779) I saw FM radio APK with themes and stations name but the download link it's broken :eek:

Which GPS should install to work in offline mode... sygic? Handed? Or stay with Google maps and download offline maps?
[Android Head-Units] vladamreza:
Great you did it!!! Offline GPS Sygic is ok but also Here we go is good and FREE. For sygic you should pay.
[Android Head-Units] Afrikaans:
Someone have downloaded this files (https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?show...ost&p=92095779) ?

This application FM editor allow to insert names on stations if we don't have rds I think.

And it's possible to change the layout/design

Someone use another radio offline APK that we can rename or add stations name?

Thanks for the help

UPDATE

I did it...i follow a tutorial to register in the forum in russian language and downloaded the files.

Hello

thank you very much! , :good::good:

I had been wandering around Russian sites for two days and was unable to download this f uu k!ng apk file.

So ... Yesterday I got a new iMars 7 - 1gb 16 gb that I have to install on my wife's car, she only uses the radio and sometimes Google Maps, for this reason she wants to have a better radio app.

I would not like to flirt strange Russian ROMs as there is a risk of not having full compatibility etc. and there are several versions around ... I don't trust much and on Mediatek terminals you have to be careful.

I set the standard programs, installed voice recognition and installed a definitely better laucher (AGAMA).

Everything works well and I just need to fix the FM radio.

Tonight I will try to replace the recovery with SP Flash T, and ROOT with Magisk , poi passerò alle sperimentazione con gli APK della radio FM .

I will keep you updated .... I hope not to produce a brick to throw out the window :D
[Android Head-Units] Afrikaans:
Me 2.... but i have success to register on russian through a tutorial(learning russian numbers) forum and download the file :D Just lucky..
[Android Head-Units] atrac88:
I've tried really hard to get this to work with the Pumpkin Firmware. I've used three different USB drives with the files copied to the root of the drive and have tried both USB connections. I've tried rebooting with the reset button on the front and using the restart button in the Factory Settings menu.

What does "pop-up upgrade window" mean? Is this a window that launches automatically or do I need to open it in the factory settings menu? When I launch the Upgrade function from there everything is on Chinese.

Thanks!

P.S. My units have the 10" screen. Any reason it wouldn't work with them? This is probably why it isn't working but I figured it's the same firmware just outputting to a different size screen.
[Android Head-Units] rockrider81:
Good evening,

thanks to everyone who gives advice to improve this device. :good:

But I'm freaking out !!!! :eek: and I have to ask you a stupid question, and I'm ashamed of it.

I have read dozens of forum pages but I cannot understand how to connect the device with SP FlashTools.

I can't understand how to set up the device before clicking the "download" command.

I tried to connect both USB sockets, it doesn't work

I tried to turn it off completely ... it doesn't work

I tried to click "download" and turn on the device ... it doesn't work

I tried pressing RST ... it doesn't work

In all ways the download does not start.

Is there a combination of buttons to press to activate USB mail as a host?

I have been using mediatek CPU devices for years but this model drives me crazy.

I can't even connect it with MTK Droid Tools which usually connects any Mediatek.

I humbly ask for your help ... :( ....

PS: I would also need a working TWRP recovery for this unit.

I extracted one from a Modded ROM ... but I don't know if it will work ... I don't trust much ...

Thank you

Rock
[Android Head-Units] dutchcommando:
turn off unit.

insert usb with the update files in the root

turn on and tap vigorously on the screen

wait..

done..

if not done..

swear loudly with the radio turned on at max volume and the doors and windows closed..

if you have it all out your system, take pictures of the about screen of your unit and run cpu-z and take pictures of that to..

report back here with the pics.
[Android Head-Units] rockrider81:
:laugh:

Thanks for the advice but I don't have to load the ROM with the USB stick but I would like to load only the recovery with SP FlashTolls and then get the root permissions.

At this point if I can not connect the device to SP FT I could also try to load a complete ROM via the key but I'm afraid of finding myself a brick paperweight.

I don't know if the ROMs around are compatible and which one I could load.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

[Android Head-Units] dutchcommando:
FM radio that gives station names is an RDS capable radio.. your hardware

must have

a RDS capable fm receiver, if not, it won't work.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

you might want to try this zip file and use/install the radio.apk. if your radio is RDS capable the station names will be visible.

[Android Head-Units] Teancum:
So is there any saving the FM radio app on this one? It's beyond barebones. I don't even care about RDS, but I'd like to clear out presets and set them manually. All I can do is just scan and use what it finds. Am I missing something or is it just that bad? Also I see that rooting is ... problematic, but can I replace the radio APK without fear of ruining things? I can always re-flash it I suppose
[Android Head-Units] dutchcommando:
short press the arrow (search) buttons does not give a manual search?

can you slide the dial of the frequency?

to save a station: press and hold the slot/preset you want it in.

can you give some screenshots of the radio and the radio setup menu in the factory settings?
[Android Head-Units] Teancum:
Yeah those things work. What I want to do is get rid of the stations that technically tune in, but we don't listen to. On mine it auto-saves every one it finds, but you can't delete them. If it misses one you want you can tune to it and press the save button, but you can't clear out the unwanted stations.
[Android Head-Units] dutchcommando:
you can overwrite a saved one right?
[Android Head-Units] Teancum:
Nope. I took some pics today so I'll try to upload them tomorrow. The radio app is THE WORST
[Android Head-Units] Teancum:
Here's the info on my head unit, and a view of the terrible radio app.
[Android Head-Units] dutchcommando:
ow dang..

that is a real bare bone radio.. no RDS, AF and TA..

now let's say you have manually tuned to 102.2 FM if you press and hold the 88.7 fm button does it store the station?
[Android Head-Units] Teancum:
Nope, you tune, you hit Save, it adds the station. Accidentally added it? Too bad
[Android Head-Units] Panja83:

[Android Head-Units] Panja83:
I don t know for the 6 pin cable. Il flash with th usb in front of the head unit.

Not necessary, the custom firmware is from 17/10/2019
[Android Head-Units] Teancum:
I found directions that say to create a folder on the USB called \XYAUTOUPG\ and then put the files in there. Is that correct?
[Android Head-Units] Panja83:
Yes, you can try this way. Put your USb with the files in \XYAUTOUPG\ then reboot the head unit. It will flash automatically .

For me this method never worked... I flashed with SPFlashtools.
