I have been trying to find instruction on how to root it. Because with tasker & root we can automate many things
[FYT Android Head Units] xdamember2:
I have instructions, it may require patching the update and then installing it.
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
Do you have a link to the instructions you found online?
[FYT Android Head Units] xdamember2:
I would try the steps found in developer.zip in the first post of this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/howto-root-joying-sc9853i-head-unit.3915530/ realizing the thread was about an earlier processor.

hi guys!

I have a unit based on uis7862 4gb ram and 32gb rom from Isudar.

Can i change for this launcher?

And the fm radio apk, its possible to change for this one?

thanks guys!
[FYT Android Head Units] husker91:
How do you change the number from c to f?
[FYT Android Head Units] anumeric1122:
Does anyone know of any custom roms for these units? Sort of scanned through this thread, but didn't see anything.
[FYT Android Head Units] Allan_Hun:
You should be able to install just about any launcher.

Radio app is a different beast because it use none standard ways to communicate with the hardware.
[FYT Android Head Units] jburner:
Not sure where to ask this and new to this stuff. After looking all over and getting little help from Joying... here goes.

I have unit JY-TQ187N4GN. I updated the firmware using the file link they sent, it updated, etc. Now my RADIO (app) does not have AM, and FM does show up, but does not work nor do the arrows function to turn the station. Radio settings are missing RDS and AM and the only options are FM sensitivity and Auto/Manual. No radio station even comes in. I've tried rebooting and even re-flashing and nothing changes. Is there something else I can try? I've even done a factory reset via user settings and re-flashed and nothing changed.

Everything else works as it should and it was working prior to flashing with update. Any insight would be much appreciated! Thank you.
[FYT Android Head Units] Spiff198:
Did try rolling back to an older firmware? or is that what you meant

their website has firmware if not
[FYT Android Head Units] jburner:
Yes, I tried an older version without any change.
[FYT Android Head Units] Harlley Sathler:
Hi guys! I just read through all the 32 pages of this topic.

I recently bought a Joying Unit with UIS7862 SoC: model JY-UQ135N4G (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001494780472.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dPqympZ). I've installed it in my 2011 Honda Fit using the supplied ISO cable and an adapter I already have. I used a universal SWC interface and all worked very well. Just need to buy a separate frame since the one Joying sent was too big for my car's dash.

Some minor things that annoy me:

As with other users, I too can't use my Bluetooth OBD2 interface (though that was expected when I place my order);

I have some problems syncing my songs and playlists to the SD card, using iSyncr. Does anyone else experience writing errors and card subtly unmounting? First I believed this was caused due to fault card, but the exact same error occurred with 3 different cards that performed well connected through a USB reader on my computer. I tried both ExFAT and FAT32 formatted cards. I finally was able to copy the music files and playlists from my phone directly to the card using the card reader and an OTG cable;

The stock music player is terrible! I'm using PowerAmp which is what I already use on my phone. It's working great and has the advantage of integration with the agama car launcher. Though is it possible to set it as the default player? I mean, can I configure something to get it cycled with Bluetooth player, phone dialer, and radio apps when pressing the SRC button?

Thanks a lot!
[FYT Android Head Units] Bob_Sanders:
Are you sure? Maybe you're just using the wrong obd adapter? I have a Dasaita and it does OBD bluetooth fine

I have the icar vgate adapter version 3

as well as version 4 and the wifi version and all they work fine.
[FYT Android Head Units] Harlley Sathler:
Hi, Bob,

Well, I have a vgate adapter too (not sure what version) but can't connect it. I tried using the joying bluetooth app, accessing android stock bluetooth from agama launcher, changing the HU PIN to the same my OBD adapter uses (1234) and can't get ir connected.

Can you share how you you did the connection? This will be great appreciated! I was planning to by the wifi version of vgate...
[FYT Android Head Units] Bob_Sanders:
You just have to keep trying. It is sometimes a pain to connect and you have to do a hard reset on the machine to get it going.
[FYT Android Head Units] Harlley Sathler:
Oh, thanks! I tried for about one hour and then give up and assume it will never connect. I will try again.
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
I cannot get joying Bluetooth to connect to my OBD either. Sucks.

Does anyone know how to change DPI? Currently buttons are small & hard to tap on when driving. Have to pull over to safely press a button on the screen due to DPI.
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
Yes the firmware thinks it's 1024x600 on my brand new joying as well. Not sure how to fix it

They're all... The same... Exact thing... Read all reviews left in this thread. Joying, navifly, Teyes, mekede, ekiy, etc. They're all the same device with different names slapped on it. The only difference is that joying is still using single and double din form factors while everyone else is now using integration form factors. The only difference between vendors is the loaded software UI. Just make sure it has the proper canbus cable and module if your vehicle requires it.
[FYT Android Head Units] vipsms:
hello, I have that particular head unit on my 2014 aurion without JBL package, 6 speakers. so mine uses internal built-in DSP equalizer, but if you have JBL package from factory, I assume the sound quality will be better.

I've been using it for almost a year. The package delivered within 3 weeks (forgot which carrier was). I brought it to a shop to install it, and the installation time toke around 30 minutes from the technician. I remember he started the installation by removing the top center AC vents and the bottom two black plastic pillars that hold the AC control. Those screws are the only needed, He did not remove the bottom center console around gear lever at all.

It is plug and play literally and supports oem backup camera, steering wheel buttons etc. the dash fitting is really nice too. The cpu UIS7862 is fast and good. some issues I faced initially when the GPS receiver was under the dashboard, the signal strength was so weak. later on I changed its position to be over the dashboard, under the windshield and its good now. I may post some images later for you. and if you have any questions feel free to ask 👍
[FYT Android Head Units] Bob_Sanders:
I'm not sure I agree with that. While they all operate on the same principle, many of them differ in the number and type of input/output abilities. Dasaita for example has specific and dedicated inputs for TPMS, TV, Dash cam, etc. Dasaita also has an HDMI output and works with obd bluetooth adapters with (apparent) Joying doesn't. Both Joying and Teyes have digital outputs while Dasaita doesn't.

There are indeed subtle differences between the makes, so you do have to look carefully.
[FYT Android Head Units] bikeynomori:
Does anyone know how to move the phone menu, circled in this pic? It blocks the "start" button in Google Maps, which is frustrating.
[FYT Android Head Units] Xenocea:
Hi, thank you for sharing your experiences with the unit. Really appreciate it! 😄

Yes, please would love to see how it looks when installed on the Aurion.

Just wanted to ask a few more questions. Does Apple CarPlay or Android Auto works just fine? & no issues with Bluetooth or Wifi & Radio?

Also did you purchase yours from the Joying website?

Cheers
[FYT Android Head Units] gamer765:
You are mixing headunits now, and I think on purpose too. Dasaita is on a completely different platform from Joying/FYT/Teyes/Navifly/etc. Dasaita is based on RockChip PX6 CPU, the headunits we are discussing in THIS thread are based off UIS7862 CPU. You're comparing oranges to apples here. There's also special UIS7862 units with Topway TS10 MCU which have a completely different OS structure, so those do not apply here either.
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Processor does not define platform.

I believe you actually mean Dasaita are typically MTCx platform ( not processor type there are many other rockchip platforms.)

That is; Joying/Teyes/Navifly are *typically* FYT as Dasaita (HA) are MTCD/E/P.
[FYT Android Head Units] gamer765:
Yeah that's what I meant, thanks.
[FYT Android Head Units] DMon04:
I have a new Joying 7" double din Android 10 headunit in my 2005 Cobalt SS Supercharged now. Can confirm bluetooth works fine for me. Ive connected my phone, and my BAFX OBD2 bluetooth reader. I did update the Android Auto application via Aptoide the other day and have lost Android Auto functionality after that. It sucks. Now attempting to root the device to uninstall Android Auto via root and re-install an older .apk. Ill try to keep up with this thread as well to try and help out others. I bought 2 headrest monitors for the car secondhand for $100 and put them in the seats. I plan on hooking up the headrest monitors to my Joying unit so my kids have videos to watch in the back seats. I got a sim card from MetroPCS who is owned by T-Mobile here in the US and upon giving Metro my IMEI numbers,they told me the device is not supported on the MetroPCS network. Ugh. Taking everything on strides here 1 day at a time. I feel Ill most likely have to go straight with T-Mobile to get sim service here in the states.
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
I think its kinda pointless buying a full Android head unit only to use it as Android Auto/screen mirroring.

Also, consider your kids. Honestly, watching TV in the back seat of a car is a massively lost opportunity to connect with your kids and for your kids lost learning time. TV time is brain dead time.
[FYT Android Head Units] DMon04:
I agree with connecting with my kids but theyre 16 and 3. My 3 year old daughter just sleeps most of the time in the back seat but they do enjoy movies so why not take them on the go. Especially when in a 4 hour road trip out of state,right? Also,I bought the head unit for ALL its functions,not just some. Im working on getting a good sim card to put in the unit so I can have data on the go. Since then...connecting my phone via Carplay was the next best thing. So uh...yeah...think what youd like but everybody has their reasons for doing what they do. I'll take your opinion with a grain of salt as all people are different.
[FYT Android Head Units] vipsms:
I haven't used Apple carplay, but the rest is all working fine.

Here's some photos in the car :-

Yes from joying website
[FYT Android Head Units] Xenocea:
Looks great! Really helps the perspective for me. Thank you again for the pictures. I’m going to place an order on it very soon.

Will update back here once the unit arrives. 👍🏻
[FYT Android Head Units] vipsms:
edit
[FYT Android Head Units] vipsms:
good luck mate, it's indeed a good HU.
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
I wonder why joying removes accessibility?

I made a video
[FYT Android Head Units] Allan_Hun:
If you want to cycle power amp, BT and radio with SRC button you could use fyt hw onekey app to map SRC button to tasker secondary app. And create a task that cycle the apps you want.

Or alternatively create a task that gets triggered when the default player starts...
[FYT Android Head Units] Allan_Hun:
Minimum width in developer settings will change the DPI -But the stock launcher doesn't play with low DPI so better install custom launcher first...
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
I still can't figure this out.
[FYT Android Head Units] Allan_Hun:
I read some speculation that it is because the Chinese wants to sell their "AI" assistant. But closing apps in sleep mode might just be how they designed these headunits....
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I wouldn't know about this accessability settings, but if you go into "Settings -> App Settings -> Standard Apps", you can select another launcher, Nova in your case. That setting should be persistent.
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
Oddly, Nova has fixed itself & now sticks in the accessibility menu.

Fluid on the other hand will not stick (it is used for much easier navigating instead of using the stock navigation keys that joying came with
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
Another reason I need to figure out how to root this headunit
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
OK, so dumb question, but HOW do you update the firmware? Ive loaded the updated firmware to a USB and even an SD card, tried with the firmware zipped and unzipped, but it will not begin to load when the USB/SD is inserted or after using the reset button.

I also cannot figure out how to boot to recovery to try it from there.

For reference, I have the 7" version with hard buttons, ,JY-UQ135N4G that currently has the 2021-01-19 firmware on it from the factory.
[FYT Android Head Units] xdamember2:
Make yourself an app to enable your services. Give your app permission, using adb. Launch the app on boot and reboot. How you do all this will be a learning experience.
[FYT Android Head Units] xdamember2:
Does the update improve gps? Sometimes it thinks i left the freeway now.
[FYT Android Head Units] DMon04:
Successfully got my newer Android 10 Joying head unit rooted the other day if anybody is interested in how to root them.
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Definitely post your how to.

There's also an excellent Auto Root USB flash tool created by @gordgelin xda and 4pda member, who has released it on 4pda.
[FYT Android Head Units] barnesk9:
Yes! Please post your method
[FYT Android Head Units] so4me:
hi all. how do i enter protocol parameter settings, i want to restart the android or change my reverse camera resolution
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
I don't think this is for 11.6" 1080p screen just FYI for those of you like me that have the 11.6" 1080p Joying
[FYT Android Head Units] DMon04:
It should work for any Joying android 10 head unit. It worked for mine just fine except I lost my normal radio after rooting.
[FYT Android Head Units] D0raThaDestroya:
I have the JY-UQ138N4G-H, Joying Universal 8 inch Double Din and I do not have those heatsinks on my unit at all.

I also tried to buy and stick these on the inside on top of the metal plate which I think is the CPU cover.

Heat sinks I bought are these: Easycargo 50mm Heatsink Kit + pre Applied 3M 8810 Thermal Conductive Adhesive Tape, Cooler Aluminum Heat Sink Set for Cooling Peltier Module TEC1-12706 (2pcs 50x50x20mm Silver) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LPJYH4...abc_EC85BMQ6BTV9ZGGKC77R?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

And the second heatsink on the back where there's a layer of thermal paste between the back plate and something coming off the PCB.

My system shows it's running at 47C average with outside temps in the 80F and interior of car AC keeping it around 73 or 72F.

I have no fan or heatsinks inside my Joying head unit which seems odd to me.

Bought on Amazon and cannot return it for a swap after 30 days. It's been about 2 months with the unit.

It'll freeze up and reboot. Works great at night and in the morning. Unreliable during the day.

I believe I can fix my problems with the correct heatsinks and help from the community here.
[FYT Android Head Units] Allan_Hun:
47°C soc/CPU temp. should not cause instability. What software do you use to monitor the temperature?

My unit run hot if I install tasker. But even @70°C my unit remains stable.

Have you tried factory resetting your device to check temp without installing apps?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
That is very good and should not lead to unstability.

My unit (an sc9853i) also gets to 80C without issues, and without heasing or fan.

Are you sure it stays at 47C? What program do you use the measure that?
[FYT Android Head Units] D0raThaDestroya:
I just got a reply from Joying with an included zip firmware update.

Did a factory reset and installed the update. The system rebooted once and then seemed stable the rest of the time.

I downloaded a CPU temp app from the playstore:

CPU Monitor - temperature - Apps on Google Play

Monitor the CPU temperature and frequency real time

play.google.com

Everything seems to be working fine. Maybe the update did something. I don't know.

I did order some Arctic Silver 5 and different designed small square post heatsinks vs the long vent style. Just in case...and ordered 40mmx40mm instead of the larger 50mmx50mm.

If I keep having the same symptoms I'll open the unit back up, take the plate off the CPU and directly attach the newer 40mm heatsinks side by side with artic silver 5 on it.

If not it's just a buggy unreliable build. But I'm stuck with it for now.

$380 spent. I love how fast and simple stock Android is. Just don't like it locking up and freezing. It's amazing when it doesn't have those two issues.

Good to know. Did a reset and firmware update. So far so good.

Was using this app:

CPU Monitor - temperature - Apps on Google Play

Monitor the CPU temperature and frequency real time

play.google.com
[FYT Android Head Units] Allan_Hun:
Compared to stock headunits and western/japanese brands these units have almost unlimited possibilities. This also includes possiblity to break something through software.

Chinese android headunits also include none standard hardware increasing the risk of software developed for phones/tablet to not function as intended...

So I would advice you to test your unit without installing any software for a few days. If it seems stable install ONE app and test stability/temperature again a few days. Repeat installing one app and test until you have all the apps you need or your units becomes unstable.

This way you will know what app cause the instability.
[FYT Android Head Units] D0raThaDestroya:
Good to know. Thank you for breaking that down.
[FYT Android Head Units] frankienones:
Hi, even if this in an "old" issue. Did you ever get feedback from Joying , to fix the "ghost touch" issue ?

PS: I have the same issue , even after upgrading to latest firmware.
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
That's a great question. I still havent been able to figure out how to install the update. it never recognizes an update on a USB or SD card and never attempts to install it
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
I contacted Joying, and they explained the update process to me and gave me the latest update with the new UI that was posted earlier in this thread, so I wont link it again.

Basically you have to take the zipped folder and unzip it into the root of a USB drive. Once inserted into one of the Joying's USB ports, after a few seconds it will recognize the update and begin the process.

The mistake I was making was to unzip the folder and allow my PC to make a folder on the USB drive to put the unzipped files into.

I havent had time to play with the new update at all to see if there are any real improvements yet, I literally installed it 5 minutes ago.

Edit I played with it a bit. This firmware (2021.8.6) is not the updated user interface so it still has that "my first tablet by Fisher-Price" look to the home screens and app drawer, but it did solve a minor issue I was having with the steering wheel controls where the > button would go to the next radio preset but the < button would not go the the previous preset. Overall not much seems to be different.

If anyone has a link to official Joying firmware for the 1024x600 with the new interface I would love to try it.
[FYT Android Head Units] Bob_Sanders:
There are quite a few choices in launcher UI's on google play store to choose from (car launcher pro, Car web guru.... etc). You don't have to live with the joying version.
[FYT Android Head Units] barnesk9:
For anyone who is running this unit rooted, have you tried the nokill mod? If so does it work?
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
Installing my Joying and can't figure out what this wire is for.. Anyone know?

[FYT Android Head Units] Allan_Hun:
Im guessing ant cont = antenna constant power.

So I would try without connecting the blue wire. If everything works don't worry about it.
[FYT Android Head Units] Mr Anderson LS430:
I have the Toyota with canbus JY-TQD80N4G unit , however I'm not sure how to go about hooking it up to my Lexus LS430 steering wheel controls .

[FYT Android Head Units] Valent1:
Hello, i got one of these Yesterday, i updated it with the last firmware and the New UI, which is great, except that I can't change the launcher anymore, it keeps going back to the defaut one, even with the proper settings...

Also, the new UI has 4 themes, but I didn't get how to select one of them.

Edit: My bad, Nova launcher works fine.
[FYT Android Head Units] Bob_Sanders:
It's for a power antenna.... which jeep doesn't have so just leave it disconnected.
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
I wonder if I could use it to turn on my amp I haven't hooked up yet.
[FYT Android Head Units] Allan_Hun:
It will probably only turn on when radio app is running.

Doesn't your hu have a remote Amp wire?
[FYT Android Head Units] Xenocea:
So I finally got this unit installed for my car. Works extremely well, very fast, smooth and good sound quality.

The only thing I can't seem to get working is Netflix. I tried downloading a few different versions, but keep getting the messages that netflix app is not supported and such.

Are you able to get it installed in yours by any chance?
[FYT Android Head Units] CCJ22:
It does but it's plumbed into the other harness.

I ended up using the radio ANT wire and sure enough it will turn on when HU is on and no matter the source, it will stay on. So I got lucky

I haven't tried but you could try Popcorn time
[FYT Android Head Units] vipsms:
I didn't try that, but I expect it may not work either. I'll check that later
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Forget it. You will never get it to work on these Chinese units. Not on the FYT ones and neither on the other brands. Netflix doesn't want that. Some years ago older Netflix versions were hacked to work on those units, but I assume Netflix detects that as they do not work anymore, and you can't hack the new versions.

Note that I never used it myself. I just repeat out of older conversations on this and other forums, as I see you keep asking this question.
[FYT Android Head Units] Bob_Sanders:
It's not really netflix but rather a general DRM (Digital Rights Management) issue. Any software, hardware or app used to playback copyrighted material must contain the DRM technology in order for it to work.

You can try downloading firefox browser and try that. You may be able to get netflix if played through a browser like Firefox so long as it has the CDM (Content Decryption Module) loaded into firefox.

From the firefox website:

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is technology that enables online video and audio services to enforce that the content they provide is used in accordance with their requirements. This technology may restrict some of the things you can do in the browser. Many services are moving towards HTML5 video that requires a different DRM mechanism called a Content Decryption Module (CDM).
