This thread has been a life saver for me.

Thanks for all the inputs (factory codes, tricks, etc), I have now configured the android device in my Fiesta the way I wanted.

I'm running the latest firmware from the "Topway page" mentioned several pages behind.

---

Three Questions

Question 1: The brightness bar in most apps is pretty much useless. At night is very strong and I want to dim it down A LOT. In the TS10 settings, the brightness does dim "slightly" but not enough.

The bar in the notification center does nothing.

On AGAMA launcher, If I set brightness to 20%, the screen goes full black (this was very hard to fix, I had to point a flashlight at the screen to see the LCD in the back and increase again).

I can see that there's a setting (don't remember if it's in settings or the AGAMA launcher) asking me what type of brightness I want to use (defaults to Android Tools, but there's also "CANBUS brightness" and two other options, i tried them all, no difference)

Is there a solution for this?

Question 2: I want the POWER button (the soft button at the left of the unit) to turn off the screen. Obvious mapping would be "power" or "sleep". Using the "power" remap, it MUTES the audio instead of powering off. The "sleep" mapping doesn't exist.

Is there a solution for this?

Question 3: There's a voice button on the steering wheel. If I press it it still runs the "FORD Sync Assistant". I want to change this to google assistant. I did try to remap, but everytime I press the button voice, it triggers the "ford sync assistant". I did try in the settings, to change in the "VOICE" menu, but no go. I also tried to remap in the Steering Wheel map, but pressing the button the question comes up (from ford sync assistant).

Is there a solution for this?
[Android Head-Units] timido64:
Hi, I could only answer this...

Press "Power" for 3/5" seconds, it should go into stand-by.

Hi, I got ts10 hu and I'm having some issues with it, maybe someone can help me.

Issue 1: when I switch the power on the car, the music that was previously playing can't be heard. Basically, it shows that it's still playing but no sound is coming from the speakers. At max volume, I can barely hear some sound with some slight static. It does that on all the apps.

Issue 2 : I wired a backup camera but it does not seem to be detected by the unit. I tried putting the rca cable into the cvbs loom that came with the unit, didn't work. I then tried a separate rca loom that can also be used for backup camera, still doesn't work.

Issue 3: the colors on my buttons panel are put in random/rainbow mode. Basically they keep switching. My color app doesn't seem to properly control it. I click a color, it applies for a fraction of a second but then switches again.

Any tips?
[Android Head-Units] jun_ng_1208:
I can only try to answer on the 2nd question about the reverse camera as I DIY the installation on my car, there's the wires that labeled 'reverse' at the loom, did you wire that up with the cable from the camera (the one with the yellow RCA cable) as well?

Hi everyone,

I've downloaded a few firmware files from this LINK. However, there is no information inside the "history.txt" file, and I could not find the changes, developments, or correction features between the old versions and the new one.

What has changed between these two firmware?

TS10.1.2_20220409.141645_WINDOW-THEME1

AND

TS10.1.2_20221118.190910_WINDOW-THEME1

Thanks for your help in advance.
[Android Head-Units] timido64:
Good morning,

I don't know what improvements they have included exactly but I read one thing on social networks... it seems that the new firmware introduced from November 2022 (from now on) the android car radio will receive updates via "FOTA". A big step forward for these TS10 models and I believe for the TS18 cousins.
[Android Head-Units] dominic222:
Hi everyone!

Thanks in advance for every answer. :)

Have a few questions about my new Ownice K7 (+360) android head unit installed in Jeep Cherokee 2021.

1) The car has heated seats and steering wheel which was controlled by its native head unit (so no physical buttons).

I've installed Ownice K7. Did everything to setup canbus etc.

I've found air conditioner app.

However steering wheel heating button is not working and it always shows 127 C degrees for both driver and passenger :)

Have anyone experienced this? Any advice?

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

2) Google assistant.

I've disabled the included voice control (because it starts random applications when simply talking to someone, not reliable).

Then I installed Google app and Google assistant app.

But I can't enable it for now.

In settings of Google Assistant app it shows: "this feature is currently unavailable on this device".

After the first install it worked before the first HU restart but only via button, cannot be activated by voice.

Have someone succeed installing voice controlled Google Assistant?

Maybe I need to install a set of gapps for it to work? or someone has a manual?

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

3) 360 cameras has a strange effect: when moving forward it always shows yellow lines in front of the car turning right. Is this a calibration problem? Could it be disabled?

Thank you in advance.

Why if i ask google to make a call it says "I can not make call yet"?!? The headunit I had before made call with google Assistant, it was a px5. This is a severe lack! Also the headunit is not listed in Find my device. Very disappointed. Any hints to fix those things?

Hey guys. Have anyone tried applying custom icons to the apps? On my head unit, some apps have a very nice icons but some apps' icons are shrunk inside a bigger rounded square. Maybe we can plug the head unit into a laptop and pull the launcher APK from it and modify it, and the push it back, using adb. Is that possible?

Hello. 1- I am using TS10 brother TS18 (Fake Android 11). How do I get an application I installed to start automatically? 2- (I use the same Google account on the phone and on the device) Is there a free app that I can track the location of the device in the background? Can Glympse unlimited time option be added? 3- The internal microphone is very bad. I bought a wire harness with sim card microphone socket input. currently both internal and external microphone are working at the same time and still poorly. I have to shout. As a solution, is there anything that increases the microphone gain by installing an application on the device? No microphone gain adjustment other than BT. 4- When the ignition is turned off, the device turns off in a very short time. Is there an MCU setting etc. so that the device does not turn off for another 5 minutes? What's the solution? Thanks in advance. (Google Translate)

Hi. Wonder if anyone can help me with what appears to be some kind of upgrade loop. Every time I start the car the head unit tries to import settings as per the attached files. Then I get a 'system is being configured' message and finally a message that the system is about to enter an upgrade mode after which the unit reboots. I have to go through all this every time I use the car. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] variosteph:

[Android Head-Units] llamalamer:
Hey guys! I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here.

So here's the situation: I decided to put in a 4G SIM card as well as the 4G and GPS antenna to further utilise the TS10's capabilities when I choose not to use Carplay. After disabling SIM1 (which is some Chinese telecom thing) and inserting my SIM card (no PIN lock and setting the APN) I'm getting this status as shown in the photo. Even though I have 4G signal, the "Mobile Network Status" is still shown to be disconnected, leading to the TS10 not having any form of internet connection.

I tried factory resetting and all, which includes reinstalling all the APKs I've lost and setting back the panel keys as well as backlight color (the whole 9 yards basically). I am still faced with this problem.

If anyone has any experience with this, your help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I have been using this unit for 1.5 years and constantly had on / off issues with my 4G (sim not detected). Tried different firmwares and this didn't fix it. Mine was a loose wire / connector at the back of HU. After fixing it and reset (hard reboot) using pin, SIM 2 is active and all that needs to be done is to disable SIM 1 (China Unicom). No APN settings needs to be manually inserted.

If this profile works well >TS10_720x1600_M8_YT103IBLJC002_90_20220331, the rotated touch can be fixed from the settings.

I have made a discovery. My head unit was set to bc6 for the Bluetooth module. I have no idea what it was originally set to because I had to flash firmware to it to get it to work when I first got it. It had terrible audio compression issues. I just switched it to BC8 figuring heck it won't break anything. I'm so glad I did there was an immediate Improvement. I suspect that bc8 head units can work in BC6 mode however it's in a degraded fashion. Also now there's an option to update the Bluetooth APK. Does anybody have one that's better?
[Android Head-Units] cbrsnoopy:
Hello everyone,

i have a TS10 Unit in my Discovery 4 and some issues with it. Maybe someone could help. The ordered it on AliExpress and the seller didn't answer any questions :/

When I turn off the car, or the ignition, the Volume instantly tuns very loud for a second before the unit shut down. When I mute the device its okay but when I forget it hell its loud.

The second problem is with the parking sensors, the beep sound is correct but the visuals are mirrored, so if I get closer the visual say I do the opposite.

It seems the Device could not read the car right, in the can bus settings there is only a Discovery 3, maybe there is a problem?

I attach screenshots for system version etc.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Hi everyone!

I just bought the radio screen for my BMW 1 (E87) and after so many seller conversations, he doesn't give me any solve to my problems.

1. All the warning sounds (seat belt, petrol, door open,...) doesn't sound. The Canbus configuration its OK, as the seller told me Oudi/BMW/E90/Public but I can't hear any warning sound. Just show the door open logo.

2. The date and day time never is correct. Every time I turn the car on, the time is 9:30 and date August, 22....I need to conect wifi to get the correct one wich is so annoying.

3. Its not a problem, its an asking for any of you. Do you know any BMW theme similar at original?

Thank you so much!!

Yes, those are the options to configure it but I don´t conect etwork or gps all the time, and its quite annoying. I have discovered that it depends on the theme. There are themes that get son problems with date and time, and other themes get the time by screen GPS and you don´t need to switch it on from the mobile.

[Android Head-Units] timido64:
Hi friends,

Yes

TS10.1.2_20221118.190910_WINDOW-THEME1

If everything works, for those who want to update the firmware without formatting/losing settings and APKs, I have personally found and tried this solution. Unpack the .zip file and put only 4 files in the USB... see attached picture.

Of course if the android car radio has no problems, otherwise I think you have to start from scratch and reset from factory by putting all the files.
