Has anyone else noticed that Hulu and Sling don't work on these units? Hulu gives me a p-dev302 error when I try to play something and Sling just never loads the stream. Oddly, the same thing happens when I try to use both services in a browser window too. The HU doesn't appear to have Widevine so I though that was the issue but my rooted phone running an unofficial Lineage OS build also doesn't have Widevine and both services work on it. Could it be the odd 56hz refresh rate that is causing this? Other than the limited bluetooth and this issue I love this HU. I hope that eventually we start to get custom ROMs for them.

Fubo(also widevine) works fine on my UIS7862 IDoing.
[FYT Android Head Units] xdamember2:
I ended up going that route. Could not be sure which firmware was correct as my model number does not appear in the blog. It eventually did the full upgrade. My problem starts when I set certain events to trigger Tasker, I've reset 3 times. But I'll be fine without those. 😄

Add Vudu to the does-not-work list.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
interesting, I have Vudu and Hulu subs, but haven't installed on my IDoing, I'll test them out when the rain stops. Fubo works, but widevine has several optional profiles. It's possible that fubo is more lenient.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
Ok I can confirm that Hulu and Vudu both refuse to play videos on my UIS 7862 Idoing as well. Perhaps Fubo on Android doesn't use widevine like it does on PC or maybe those apps are disliking something else.

Hi there,

I just bought this unit and I have a hard time to get a good GPS signal with their Antenna. When it is inside the dash, I get almost no signal. If I put it ON the dashboard, I'm able to pick up some satellites but it's weak and the unit is not able to have a clean lock. Any idea how to fix that?

Thx
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
make sure it's screwed in tight in the back. you may have too much steel in your dash between the unit and the sats. Maybe stick it up on the underside of your dash or into your glove box?
[FYT Android Head Units] omar_islam:
Hello,

I just bought that unit recently, and i am facing challenges with apple carplay and voice calls. every one that i am calling is telling me that he is hearing his own voice(Echo) as well as delayed audio. can any one support me with solving that? i am currently using "car link version :21.0303.0925)"

Your support is highly appreciated ;)
[FYT Android Head Units] air0ne:
Ok, I will check that today

Thx
[FYT Android Head Units] air0ne:
I tighten the screw but no luck. No satellite when under the dash. Got 3 at best on the dash... Look like it's worst lol...
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
That sucks. I have mine sitting on top of the unit shoved into the dash and thought about moving it because I only got 12 sats at times,
[FYT Android Head Units] air0ne:
I completely removed the cable to see if I could get a satellite. If I can reproduce the earlier weak signal (like 3 or 4 weak satellite signal) with no antenna, it would have suggest that maybe something is not well connected inside the unit... But I got nothing. Meaning the Antenna is working, but too weak to function properly...

IMO, it looks like an antenna issue so I pulled the trigger for a new GPS antenna. Stay tuned :)

I purchased one the newest Joying head units about 2 or 3 weeks ago directly from their website. It arrived here in Ohio in the USA the other day. It has the sim card slot on the stereo and I plan to get another line of service with Sim card from Verizon for the unit. I am going to install it next weekend as I work a LOT and am waiting for a little warmer weather here in Ohio. I have all the wiring harnesses sitting on the work bench. I used a Metra American install kit around the radio. I had to dremel it to get it to fit properly around the radio and work for my dash. I have all Metra wiring harnesses. I plan to retain the steering wheel controls from my 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS. Any advice from everybody on installation of this? I already plan to run all antennas on top of the dash or up on the glass just above the headliner. Ill get exact specs of the radio once its in the car and upload the specs here.
[FYT Android Head Units] thefallen924:
was wondering if this solution was applicable to keeping the amp on when the car is shut off, but door has not been opened, essentially keeping the headunit on until you do. i want to know how i can keep the amp on, for at least another 10 minutes if possible.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
I wish you the best but I've had no luck getting my 4g to work with verizon. If you figure it out please postback here how you did it.
[FYT Android Head Units] Presterin:
My unit is not Joying, but screen and internals are the same. Question is, can I change resolution / DPI through ADB? Screen is FullHD, but firmware thinks it is 1024x600. This results blurred text and certain elements but images (for example Spotify album art) are really sharp.
[FYT Android Head Units] Wreckingball911:
I have the same issue on an Ekiy T900 UIS7862 head unit.
[FYT Android Head Units] Wreckingball911:
did you try anything in the amp settings? I had a similar issue in a different brand with a ui7862 and I found that by clicking on "car UI" (factory app) then hitting a few buttons within, I got sound. HAve to do it everytime I turn it on. Just wondering if that could be the same issue for you.
[FYT Android Head Units] Wreckingball911:
I also had this issue because I wanted to connect a bluetooth controller to play racing games...not while driving of course! I couldn't find any way to access the basic bluetooth settings but today while messing with Agama Car Launcher, I clicked its bluetooth button and it took me to the basic android bluetooth settings that were basically hidden in the unit. Try that. I havent played a game yet but I was at least able to connect a controller that I previously had been unable to connect.
[FYT Android Head Units] mariodantas:
This APP alllows you to access all Android parameters
[FYT Android Head Units] air0ne:
Hi all,

Here is a follow up about my issue. I bought a brand new GPS antenna and I have now a clean GPS lock, meaning my GPS antenna was certainly defective somehow!

Problem solved!
[FYT Android Head Units] mariodantas:
Hello, I have an OWNICE K7 headunit, it takes up to 15 minutes to get a 3DFIX on GPS, I tried with 3 different antennas, but it seems that the problem is the radio itself or a missed configuration in Android, I don't have access to Engeneering parameter nor ROOT (to edit the configs)

Almost impossible to use the GPS feature !
[FYT Android Head Units] air0ne:
Hi, If it's not the antenna, it might be the connection with the main board. If you can, open your unit to see where the GPS antenna is connected to the board. Send us a very close picture to see if the weld is clean
[FYT Android Head Units] kage00:
Just wondering, how long are people's units taking to boot?

Since I updated to the latest firmware from joying's blog page my boot times are a lot longer. I used to have just one short boot logo to wait for but now I have two. Since the update there is the 'Google" boot animation as well as the other one and it seems to take ages.

I can't seem to change any options in the sleep settings either
[FYT Android Head Units] xdamember2:
I was able to do adb over usb twice, it would not let me in a 3rd time without factory reset. Anybody else?

Never mind I tried again and it worked.
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
I recently installed a Joying JY-UQ135N4G which while it is a 7" unit i believe is the same architecture.

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to disable Carlink. I prefer to use headunit reloaded since it allows my to have google maps via android auto and still listen to FM radio and it also puts the "bar" with the music player widget at the bottom if I do want to use AA for music while navigating.

On any of the other Android head units I've had, HUR would launch immediately when I plugged my phone in USB. ( I dont use or care about wireless AA). With this unit, I have to launch HUR manually, select USB, then select my phone. It's not a juge issue, just annoying. I suspect that Carlink is preventing HUR from automatically launching and connecting to the phone and I would like to disable it for further testing.

Alternately, is there a way to move the "bar" to the bottom of the screen in the carlink version of AA and get it so it will allow me to play the radio when it is active?
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
I don't think your autostart issue is carlink, HUR needs to listen for the USB and I don't think it does. The view you get from carlink(or HUR) is dependent on the resolution and the DPI. Carlink won't let you change it so your only option would be to try change resolution on you phone in the AA setting. I think I tried changing it to 480p and carlink just crashed so you're probably SOL on that one. in HUR you can change the DPI an get different layouts.
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
Thanks for your reply. Ive had 5 different head units in the last few months searching for one that has everything I wanted and actually sounds decent. On all of the others HUR would (usually) auto launch just by plugging in my phone, which is why I assumed CARLINK might be somehow at fault. None of the other units had carlink or zlink.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
well maybe you are correct then, I don't think you can remove carlink without root and if you did I think you'd lose it permanently.
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
Yeah, I figured as much with removing it. That's why I was hoping there was a hidden way to just disable it for testing.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
You can use a flash script to disable it and later enable it again, if you want to. No root required.
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
You wouldn't happen to have a link to a tutorial on how to do that would you? I'm not afraid to try something but I'm an absolute noob when it comes to scripts, apk creating, etc.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I did that for the sc9853i, but on the uis7862 it is slightly different but I already wrote some scripts for other users. It is easy to do but I need to know the exact name and location of the current zlink app. Do you know that?

Otherwise you can use my HWGetinfo (see my signature) and share the zip. It will also create a full listing of your system. I can then create the scriopt and you can learn from it.
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
Thanks i really appreciate it. I'll download the get info app and try to get the information in the next couple of days
[FYT Android Head Units] Allan_Hun:
The GPS antenna i received looks waterproof so I placed it outside in the lower left corner of my windscreen. The GPS signal is great, fast and very precise.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
anyone have any thoughts on the quality of joying HUs with knobs?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000931506396.html

Thinking of picking this up for my C5 as I have no SWC. I don't really care for the 8.8in option with no buttons, even with the addon controller they offer. Think this may work ok in my car and offer more control options.

My only real concern is will the knobs just wear out or break off?
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
The 7 inch unit with knobs and buttons seems to be reasonably good quality.
[FYT Android Head Units] Spiff198:
anyone have problems with the 10.1 rotating screen ? picture barely visible

contacted seller( Joying) unit not eve a month old
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
Cool, Thanks. I'm loving my IDoing in my WRX figured I'd upgrade upgrade my 2003 C5 finally. Both FYT with identical specs, went IDoing with the WRX because of lack of canbus from Joying(per support), but getting all that from the Axxess unit for the vette and Joying has better options(buttons).
[FYT Android Head Units] air0ne:
Bought a new GPS antenna and the problem was solved. Guess I had a faulty antenna :/
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
When looking at cheap Chinese units the Joyings and T'eyes, when talking FYT units, are of the better quality. I had two Joying units with buttons, both pushbuttons and rotating buttons, a Sofia and a PX5. Both still work. The Sofia is 5 years old now and I still use it in the attic with 2 boxes behind a transformer, when I work upstairs. The PX5 is now 2½ years old and is next to the Sofia and sometimes I switch the transformer to the PX5 to try a few things.

The least to worry about are the buttons. Screens are more vulnerable and have the tendency to break earlier than any button. The bottom 100 pixels (or so) from my Sofia don't react to touch anymore but I have a USB mouse connected anyway. Just too lazy to move my music collection to the PX5 and connect the boxes to it.

I now have a 10.1" sc9853i Joying, slightly more than 1 year old, where I have a two pixel wide vertical line on my screen where the connections are probably damaged.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
Thanks, ordered it and the Axxess harness last night. We'll see how this one works out as I will probably need to get creative on the install, but I just really don't like the small 8.8 widescreen with no buttons that most people put in. This one definitely won't be snap in like the IDoing in my WRX.
[FYT Android Head Units] air0ne:
Hi all,

Is it possible to unable the guide lines in our Unit when I'm in reverse? Could someone tell me how it's called and where to find this feature? I would like to reroute my OEM camera which already has lines on screen.

Thx
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
depends on whether they come from your camera or not. on my WRX I have two sets, the ones from my stock camera which cannot be disabled, and the ones from the HU which can be disabled(fortunately).

click on settings, go to factory settings, enter the code, click on original car agreement, then click on reverse parking line
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
BTW, are there "non cheap" android head units? Don't get me wrong I understand all the units i've seen discussed here have questionable build and QC, but aside from crippled "expensive" AA/CP HUs from mainstream manufacturers that cost 2-3X the money for a HQ DSP/DAC and practically zero capabilities beyond AA/CP. Are there high end true android HUs? I'd happily pay 1K+ dollars X 3 Cars if one existed, but I've never seen one.

[BEGIN RANT]

I have a 600 dollar AA double DIN from kenwood, it SUCKS! screen is smaller than my phone and runs at 640X480, AA works when it wants to, USB FLAC is SLOW and that's about all the functionality it has. Oh and on startup it forces me to acknowledge a stupid liability disclaimer(yes every stinking time), often i don't get to it until i'm already driving. Yes it sounds marginally better than my IDoing, but also requires another 200 dollar Maestro/metra kit to work with the HK in my WRX and looks like crap.

Maybe it will last longer than the IDoing or Joying, we'll have to wait and see. It's in my wife's Beetle as Flac and Waze is all she wants and the kit for her car was 75 dollars and is re-useable for a Android unit if she decides she wants one later.

I played with one of the "big scree(9? inch) pioneers that cost 1K+ just for the unit. It was slow, wasn't android(tried to look like it was), and still was basically just AA/CP.

I understand there are at least 2 major reasons we will never see mainstream android HUs

1) Google owns AA and Android, and will never sanction android for HUs as it would remove a secondary revenue stream and limit their control over the HU experience.

2) LIABILITY. everyone wants to control what you "need" in your car in the hopes of limiting distractions and android has no real limits. I get it, BUT by doing so they push people to hacks like AA mirroring, or un-validated Android Head units which are both prone to issues and poor experiences, which can cause even more distraction. I assume fear of suits is why there aren't even any "cheap" USA/EU Android Units(that and labor costs).

[END RANT]

Preaching to the Quire?

[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
My brother also has either a Pioneer or a Kenwood of 900 Euros. Small screen with low resolution indeed. It took more than a year before Kenwood (or Pioneer) released a patch for a Bluetooth error. So much for expensive units.

But audio quality is very good and audio in phone calls as well.

Especially calling audio is bad on the Chinese units as none of them uses noise cancellation. Just one very cheap microphone.

For 10 euros/dollars more (and in China perhaps 3~6 euros/dollars) they can implement noise cancelling. Not very sophisticated, but 10x better than it is now. I don't understand why "the better brands" don't do that. They offer DSP/non-DSP, TFN/IPS/QLed screens, all for a little uplift in costs. Why not noise cancellation as well?

I don't make phone calls in the car other than the "I expect to be home in xy minutes. Bye", but for others it might be a real game winner.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
oh my 600 dolllar kenwood came with the exact same crappy external mic as my IDoing and it sounds even worse in calls and can't be used for "hey google"
[FYT Android Head Units] Yamarocket630:
The built in microphone on my Joying unit sounds better than the factory installed microphone on the 2021 car my wife drives.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
The upside is I never call anyone... car or otherwise ;-)

Tried it out on my JY-UQ128N4G and got the same error at the same spot.

Hi there,

I'm wondering... what is a Canbus supposed to do with my Head Unit. I got simple soft TY SS 05 with my joying and it's installed in a Toyota CHR 2018. For info, my steering control works and I know that it's what the Canbus is supposed to "do" but...

When I cold start the head Unit, I can see some overlaid information at the bottom of the screen for a short period of time then it disappears. I got something like the temperature, air flow, etc. (also, I got the same kind of menu when someone is calling me)

Am I supposed to be able to use that menu afterwards? Is my canbus supposed to be upgraded, 'cause there is an option to do it... sooooooo... as you can see... I'm very confused with all of this... sorry :/
[FYT Android Head Units] xdamember2:
There should be a Car Info app pre installed, with the canbus functions. Also look through factory settings.

Hello to all,

I am new on the forum and I read this thread about the new Joying 11.6 Inch Single Din Android Car Stereo With 1920X1080 Screen. As the screen can be detached from the main unit (40 pin connector) and I am wondering if it would be possible to connect a LVDS screen (12.3 inch 1920*720) with a touch screen (I2C) to the main unit??

Thank you.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
Got this one delivered tonight for my 2003 corvette. 7 days from china DHL

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001484018896.html

Quick fit test, I think I can make it fit decent.

Quick wire up and sound test, everything seems to work and i hear no buzzing through the speaks when nothing is playing(but it's raining) Sounds good though, seems good build quality other than the cheap wiring on the harness.

Joying software seems just slightly different than the IDoing in my WRX, but will play more tomorrow

UPDATE: There is the slightest of hissing from the larger bose speakers in my vette, if I put my ear right to it. Can't hear otherwise. Ordered a power line noise filter to see what that does, but this thing sounds incredible. Better than the bose stock unit and much better that all the crappy BT to RF adapters I had used up til now. Radio signal seems strong, USB works, Have tested 4g or GPS yet.

The Knobs are a little sensitive for me, hopefully I'll find a setting in the panel setup. Haven't done that yet.

I also notice a new setting that my IDoing does not have(or I haven't found). It lets you decide what app to launch when you plug in USB. I haven't tested if it's only phone or all USB.

Also not shocked but the 4G behaves the same with verizon sim card. Even though I have full signal it won't connect, so either verizon is blocking or Joying/FYT have it locked.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
How many of you with the larger screens removed the grey plastic support sleeve from around the detachable mounts.

On mine it prevents me from adjusting the screen to the point I want(hits ribbon cable). when I was testing without it originally it left the screen to unstable, but then I realized that once in the car the dash pushes enough that it seems to be just as stable with and without and takes as much force to detach. I may just cut the top section out to provide room for cable but still add support.
[FYT Android Head Units] xdamember2:
I removed the mounts from both the screen and 1din electronics. The 1din is secured to plastic brackets from the sides, and the screen is held by screws at the bottom and snaps at the top. My only issue is the locks on the screen idc cable are not firm enough.
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
Yeah, I'm just wondering if anyone using the stock mount without the plastic sleeve have had issues. It seems like it tightens the lock on the snap ins, or is it just adding dust protection?
[FYT Android Head Units] mariodantas:
Hi fellows

I have also a Joying but in bench for tests only

I have a problem, when unit enters sleep mode (ACC off) and wake up (ACC on) does not recognize plugged usb drives

Is maybe something to do with init.rc ?, zigote ?, to force reload of the usb subsystem at wake up ?
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
Both my FYT units do that "on rare occasion" and a reboot fixes it.

Is your rooted? did you change startup?
[FYT Android Head Units] mariodantas:
Yes my device is rooted !
[FYT Android Head Units] gamer765:
Happens rarely on my unit as well, but i just reboot it and it'll be back up. I would assume that their USB drivers probably crashed during sleep and either can't restart or restarting the drivers simply wasn't programmed into the os (guess FYT devs probably assumed their coding was bulletproof and didn't bother to program in a failsafe).
[FYT Android Head Units] xdamember2:
You can try delaying the usb connect, it has helped me on some previous models.

Hi there,

I know that with my car, I should be able to pick up the video signal from my mirror when I am in reverse.

but I got no signal when connect the AV plug (yellow one) of the JOYING unit. Do I need to do something else aside having the video signal? Do I need some power (the camera is already power up by my car as it is displayed inside the mirror).

At the end, I would like to have both my HeadUnit and my mirror to display the reverse view

Hope I'm clear enough :)

Thx guys
[FYT Android Head Units] gottahavit:
Did you connect the backup wire to either your reverse switch or some switch on your mirror? Does the nit switch to reverse camera view and just no video? If the later, did you plug into the right video plug, mine is a dongle off the HU, not one of the Aux ins.
[FYT Android Head Units] air0ne:
Nope. I was assuming that I could get the signal without it. I guess I was wrong. Meaning, I need to find the proper wire from my mirror that needs to be connected to the "back" wire for my headunit?
