Hello fellow users

Glad I found some information in this board. I just bought a T10 head unit for my Renault Megane 2 from 2005. Basic stuff like radio, mp3 or navigation worked right away, phone and SIM with some help from the dealer (although they do only speak Chinese). What I haven't been able to make it work is the can bus and steering wheel connection. The dealer supplied a Hiworld-RN can bus, I think I have all cables right, and also the set-up in the can bus menu should be ok, yet the steering wheel button learning app shows no reaction on me pushing buttons.

Does anyone know whether there is a way to find out if the connection and the can bus works at all, that I can check it step by step?
[Android Head-Units] nnquynh:
Try to set like this:
[Android Head-Units] cprotz:
Thank you, that is surely a handy explanation. I did it already like that (and will check once again).

The point that is still unclear in my setup is whether the cabling received with the head unit connects the can bus to the car at all. I looked at several Aliexpress offers, they seem all to offer the same cable for my setup. What confuses me is that with my old Blaupunkt radio (which I removed to exchange it with the Android one) there was an (Can bus "like") adapter that connected the radio to the temperature/time screen in the car (a middle console screen that can be replaced by the Renault Carminat navigation system and where lots of cable go to), that plug on the wire of the screen is now unused, and over that the Blaupunkt also had connected successfully to the steering wheel remote.

So I guess I have to get and compare the cabling schemes to understand whether the set-up connects a can bus signal at all.

Helpful would also be if there was a menu or similar (or e.g. an extra to install app) on the head unit that would show, when there is a signal from the can bus...

Hi friend, i have exactly the same problem as you with sim 1 locked. Dif you finally solved this? How if you did it?

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] radionerd:
It's weird SIM 1 is locked on China Unicom, can't edit or delete china APS's, SIM 2 is the only SIM I can find on a dongle. It won't complete Data Connection.

I use hidden testing menu Dialer code *#*#4636#*#* to look at settings, Looks like the wrong MCC and MNC numbers are loaded. T-mobile should be MCC 310 MNC 260.

The IMEI SVC is 01 I've read that meisv 01 means your phone hasn't been though service (or fixing). If the number changes to 2 means it's been though service once and so on.
[Android Head-Units] editmaster:
Hi friend. Unfortunately I was forced to send it back to China to get it fixed.

My bet is they used some special files that they won't share.
[Android Head-Units] editmaster:
According to my mobile provider those numbers should not really matter. But my guess is they do. And yes...I haven't found any way to change them.

Even setting up a new APN won't let me set new MCC and MNC to the numbers I need.
[Android Head-Units] Edupin2:
Oh :( and did you bought it again or other?
[Android Head-Units] editmaster:
They fixed it last week and hopefully it's already on it's way back.

My bet is SIM data still won't work. Must be a firmware issue. From what I hear the 4GB versions don't have this issue.
[Android Head-Units] Edupin2:
My version is the 6GB and the problem is the same. Is strange they need to receive it back to solve the problem, i am sure there are files to solve it :(
[Android Head-Units] editmaster:
I have tried many variants, also files from this thread. It did flash the firmware (I could briefly see the main menu in a new language), but the pesky Pin lock stayed. I have no idea how to completely erase the radio. Some memory areas seem unaffected by the flash process with the files available to us.
[Android Head-Units] cprotz:
Maybe not completely comparable but I had partly a similar problem. My Swisscom SIM was discovered, however Swisscom complained that the IMEI was unknown. I wanted to change APN information (as Swisscom did not appear in that list) but that part was also blocked and did not show Swisscom. My seller told me to check the hotspot settings and link them to the Swisscom SIM. That was not what I'd expect to get me access, but it worked and I had internet access over my SIM
[Android Head-Units] radionerd:
Mine is 6gb too, I only have time on weekends to mess with it. I will prolly android factory reset mine after grabbing all the head unit apps contained in the app backup folder. Factory reset is in the android System, Reset Options, (factory reset). It will wipe all of the head unit apps. There is also a Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth in same folder, I tried that already.

I have downloaded the TW APP back up folder to SD. All my needed head unit apps will need to be uplaoded after Android Factory reset, and then reinstalled. Fingers crossed.

For others that come along with same SIM issue:

Remove SIM, Do a factory reset in the TOPWAY settings Menu, It is harmless, just settings, and a few google apps. (NOT THE ANDROID FACTORY RESET)

Wait minutes until it's done then disable SIM1, then do the reset (or push reset button on front panel with a SIM tool.

After it boots shut off and insert your SIM.

Make sure your SIM is already activated in a cell phone prior to trying in the TS10,

There is a IMEI changer tool in the extra features folder if invaled. web search for "Check your IMEI" Mine was valid, Changing IMEI didn't help me.

I've yet to complete data connection, also waiting for a new SIM card dongle since mine had wires floating around inside.

What do you mean by "linking them"?
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
I will dig deep into the system next weekend (will probably end with a bricked headunit! 😅) and see if i can come up with something that can be useful for us. By the way in .twhide so is the speedplay license file hiding and some more interesting ones in .Blink my goal right now is to get a working version of ZLINK 5 (it shows up but cant fix the activation yet).

Can Somebody Help me enabeling USB-Debugging?

I've enabled it in the settings (via the Password protected Settings) but I cant get any devices to recognize the headunit. Or is there any Others was to disable/remove the FM Radio App?

I am using Navradio+ and Sometimes it randomly switches to the Stock App and creates static.

Thanks in Advance
[Android Head-Units] Medo2018:
To disable the stock radio: factory-123456-config, then disable radio and restart the unit.

I spent this weekend digging deep into my headunit both looking at the hardware which made me think that if the Chinese manufacturers would put as much effort as they do in faking the hardware/software (Android version) and trying to block all software that will show that its not a Android 11 or 12 unit so could this unit be a great one.

On the software side is the BIG problem that we have a firmware which is made for the chinese market and after that been remade again and again until its so messed up so you have to spend several months trying to find what you looking for and its filled of pincodes to enter settings. They messed up the basic settings for example autostart that will not work or the inbuilt microphone and Google Assistant because the Google settings is crippled. I really wish there will come a CLEAN version of the firmware which is like a Google Pixel phone without all the crap.

The same with the preinstalled Theme app where that one now lately is called ilauncher http://ilauncher.net/ and you still need to pay for the extra themes (well if you have the Chinese version so are there free themes monthly but not otherwise) and where most people have no idea that if you upgrade it correctly will you have support now for Spotify where the songs and album cover will show up nicely in the stock theme.

But there is still no support for the stock theme to use and show song names and covers for example Rocket Music player, PowerAmp, Musicolet, AIMP or Jet Audio Player instead do we need to use the inbuilt music/videoplayer that has a UI that makes me believe im back in the 80s again and just want to make me cry.....
[Android Head-Units] INO-Saad:
Is it tested or not yet ?

also do you know what's the improvements than the earlier one that one with date 19/5
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Inside the firmware folder if you unpack it you find a "History.txt" file with the firmware update info. The problem is that its only in Chinese so need to use Google to translate it. Anyway here is a list for you:

10:08 2022/7/21

1. Solution: Native Setting error after switching language

2. Solution: The IGO map is displayed abnormally after switching the language

16:17 2022/6/23

1. Add OTA function

19:36 2022/6/21

1. Remove the auto-play function when YouTube is displayed on one screen with three displays

And i have installed it on my TS10 6gb+128gb without problem. I need to test it a bit more to see if this update will fix the settings problem on my headunit.
[Android Head-Units] INO-Saad:
many thanks

[Android Head-Units] glaucoqs:
Hello. I've been reading almost every page on the TS10 related forum. It's been a year and a half since I bought mine on Aliexpress from the seller OKnavi. I use it on my Peugeot 2008 2019, so far, almost everything is ok, except for some errors, such as the low fuel messages or automatic window wipers only being on the screen for 1 second. (impossible to read).

My current version is TS10.1.2_20210415.153043_WINDOW-THEME1

and I would like to know if I can directly upgrade to TS10.1.2_20220721.111654_WINDOW-THEME1 posted recently. How to update without losing apps and configs.

Note: I already tried to update via FOTA, however, it says it has the latest version, other car functions work fine, such as doors, parking sensors, temperature, etc..

The original multimedia, allowed to turn on without the key on, but this Chinese, turns on only with the ignition on. (If anyone knows a tip on how to put the car in some sort of radio mode, I'd appreciate it!)

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
There should be no problem upgrading from the latest version of WINDOW-THEME1 in your case by extracting the firmware zip file to the root of a USB stick then plug it into the head unit, go to System, System upgrade and choose System local upgrade.

IMPORTANT! to not lose any installed applications dont enable Wipe data or format erase option!

But as always is it a good idea to backup settings and apks before upgrading.
[Android Head-Units] glaucoqs:
Thanks!!
[Android Head-Units] seninnha:
I just installed this TS10 unit running firmware TS.2.2_20220325.121202.WINDOW-THEME1 and have 2 questions.

First one: I already asked for a new firmware because some of my car features are not shown by the radio. (via Canbus). But seller wont help me with that.

Thats whu i wonder where i could find a generetic one ?

Second question. When I make an hotspot on my phone, radio does not connect once its available. I always have to go to Wifi and select my hotspot and then system connects to it.

On my former car, also having an Android unit, connection always when without a problem. As soon as i open a hotspot it connected right away.

Health

I would like if someone could help me.

My sim cable broke and I don't know where the cables go by color, neither in the unit nor in the card holder, any photo or diagram.

Many thanks
[Android Head-Units] richard_lyew:
Do you have to do anything special to the zip file? Like renaming it? Do I extract the folders and files?
[Android Head-Units] richard_lyew:
How did you installed it. Please share directions
[Android Head-Units] romanert:
Hi great people, I've went through half of this 90-page thread with the hope to find an answer to this question: Is there a reliable root for TS10 models?

Couldn't find anything, can you pls advise?

I'm planning on getting a multimedia soon and would like to clean up the menu a bit. Seller refuses to share root permissions...
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
1. First important thing is that you have the new firmware version TS 2.2 its not compatible with TS 1.2 or TS 1.1 firmwares, do you have the vertical screen (TESLA screen) or horizontal one?. I only seen TS 2.2 firmwares with THEME1, THEME1_V2 so cant help you with the version you have now because i dont have that unit myself.

If you lack car features so is that a common problem with our head-units and you need to go through the menus to find settings to activate them. Most are hidden behind pin-codes like factory settings where you can use the code 123456 or 8888 which will give you different menus.

2. The WIFI problem you have check that you have activated the function in WIFI settings that it will autoconnect to your hotspot when its active.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
There is a rooted firmware for 1.2 version THEME1 from 2022-05-07 i have not seen any other ones yet.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
The firmware files is inside the ZIP file you need to unpack the firmware with WinZip or similar. When you unpacked the files you go inside the firmware folder and copy all of the files to the root on a USB-stick (see picture)

Then plug the USB stick into the head unit, go to System, System upgrade and choose System local upgrade. And let it update.
[Android Head-Units] seninnha:
I mean. .....install this unit in MY car 😉
[Android Head-Units] seninnha:
I already checkt all setting to show my airco , door info and so on. But still no luck. I have the right canbus adapter and also set the right settings for my car. I saw a video of one user having the same unit Ans same car and had same issue , which was solved after a firmware update ... About version 1.1 and 1.2 ..I already figure out that this are different to mine. I search for 2.2 version.

About wifi. I already set that wifi connects when hotspot is available but that does not work.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Can you please post a picture of your firmware version number
[Android Head-Units] seninnha:
System shows : CAN version: Unknown. But can control my volume and speakers setting without any problem. I already been talking to the seller for several days and we went trough all the setting, and at the end they told me that i need to get use to it, the fact that no car info is showed on my screen.

PS: this is the topic of other user with same car as mine and he was able to see all info after updating the firmware (already send him a message but no response until know) : https://xdaforums.com/t/problem-wit...mbly-of-a-dedicated-chinese-headunit.4381645/
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
OK, well like i wrote before have i never seen the 2.2 firmware version that you have with the WINDOW-THEME1. And i cant find that one in all my saved firmwares (have hundreds of them) so must be a "special" made version for your unit.

Anyway, give it a try with this APK - just install it and restart your headunit and see if it can give you back your AC-controls if it doesnt work just uninstall it again.

I would also try to re-download the MCU software again and also update your THEMES app and preinstalled theme.
[Android Head-Units] seninnha:
Thanks

Will try this.

By MCU software, do you mean software that is downloaded when I choose the right Canbus for my car? bacuse everytime i do this, and APK is downloaded ?

And about updating my THEMES apps and preinstalled theme: how do I do this?
[Android Head-Units] richard_lyew:
Thanks a million, this information wasn't available anywhere.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Yes exactly, there also comes updates from now and then so always good to check for updates under About. If i was you would i go to Factory settings use code 123456 to enter (can also try with 8888 there is different menus). And choose Model Choose and tap in all the correct settings for your car and choose OK and let it download and install. A important thing before this is that you should have a alternative button where it says AC Control or something similar and because you have that in your car double check you chosen that option. After the install do a reboot of the headunit and see if you was sucessful in getting the options you want.

About the THEME app so should u find that one in your app list on the headunit and here is a video of an example how to update that app. You should also update the theme that is installed (you find the preinstalled themes inside the app and above the one you have installed is like a "circle" push that button)
[Android Head-Units] Sarsbucket:
I downloaded the new theme apk. I haven't installed it yet, but Google threw this warning at me about it being in my Drive. 🤣

Im sure its fine, just like CarChoose.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
I didnt get that warning, and if you use the already installed THEMES launcher you have on the headunit and update that one so will you get the same launcher because Dofun THEMES app that we all have preinstalled in our headunits are now changed to iLAuncher instead its the same with the difference that its now updated more frequently and recently did they add the Spotify function so it will now show the song names and cover on the stock theme player (that before only showed the radio station and inbuilt music player songs).

And you are right its a false positive for sure and like you wrote dont Google like the Car Chooser (to select the CANBUS) either and gives me also warnings and wants to remove it. And to remove that one is really bad because we will lose the MCU upgrade possibility (i actually did that once and wondered what happened).

The latest firmware i uploaded (WINDOWS-THEME1) from 21 july, is the best one this far and it opened up many new functions which before was hidden, so give it a try if you havent already installed it. Im still testing it and trying to get a fully working Google assistant both on the headunit and in Android Auto / CarPlay.

hello, I'm trying to reinstall the software, but it gives me an error and I can't install from the flash drive.

[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Hi, what is it you trying to reinstall? the firmware or a apk (program)? there is no video in your post so thats why im asking. And have you tried both USB ports on your head unit when you install? and have you if its a firmware you try to reinstall put the unpacked files on the root of the USB stick (flashdrive)?

When i go to choice my car model its said app is not installed, i try to boot from usb to reinstall the software but i didnt found the usb stick( he is formated FAT32 and so on) , i tried different passwords to reset the device maybe to reset the software but didnt work. I have t10 6 gb 128 gb.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
The problem you encountered is that you probably did let the Google protect remove the Car Choose function (if you read the post just before yours so do you see that Sarsbucket and me wrote about this). I did this mistake also once and the fix for it is to reinstall the Car Choose apk again. So here is a link to it, just put it on a USB-stick and plug into your head unit and install it so should you get everything working again. And remember to NOT click on the Google Protect message to delete/remove software.

And in my case do i use a USB-stick with NTFS format and i have never had a problem with it. If your unit cant find the USB try reformat it or try another one.

Also try to turn off the Google Protect when you install!
[Android Head-Units] jsutforfun:
so update , i will say 1 st times when i have to choice car model is it workt but when start to download at the end said some network issue, iv tried 5 6 times and now said app is not installed. I turn off the google play protect and try to install this app but doesnt work. I think i have to delete the software and try to install from scratch. Any advice thanks

Hi. I have this head unit in my Opel for about one year. Everythink works great :)

What has always bothered me is the blue flat theme as it does not go with the car ambient lighting.

Is it posible to make the blue theme black like in the picture which I belive is from the previus version of this head unit? There is no such option in the themes menu.

Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Then is the Car Choose app still installed but probably "blocked" my Google Protect try to turn off Google Protect and see if the Car Choose can be used. If that doesnt work reinstall the firmware.
[Android Head-Units] jsutforfun:
Yes i unpackt the files

Hey , how to reinstall the firmware, USB boot doesnt work you can see in the video. Maybe some hard reset and then install.
[Android Head-Units] jsutforfun:
Google protect is turned off
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Sorry, my wrong. The AC function should install when you download the Canbus APK.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
You have the 2.2 vertical screen version so not sure this will work, and another problem is that all themes are not able to change the blue background. Anyway if you make a folder on a USB stick named theme and inside that one make another folder with the name wallpaper and inside that one put the wallpapers you want in .png format then go into the THEMES app and long press the "cogwheel" icon so should it come up a import window then import the wallpapers you have on the USB stick then will you be able to change the background/wallpaper but like i wrote does this not work with all installed themes and we are stuck with the blue boring background.
