Also I know the UX999+ (carlinkit t-box) has a setting in the android settings for default voice assistant. Set it to autokit so it will default to Carplay or Android auto voice assistance instead of the android box voice assistant.

You can also set it auto boot into autokit for carplay / android auto immediately without any interaction which is nice.

I'm assuming you just put the update.zip in the root of an microSD card and it will ask to update when the microSD is inserted? yep just checked!

Folks, can you please try to set up a second android user, switch to the user and see if you get the message "device not activated"? I had the message for a week, I was still able to use the second profile, then the device stopped working, I just see an empty screen with the above-mentioned error message.

Hi! In tutorial for repairing QM8888/UX999 page written: 1. Install Qualcomm Drivers

Push the resetbutton on UX999/QM8888 and keep pushing while connectiong the USB-Cable to your PC.

After connecting you can release the resetbutton. o Device must now show in DeviceManager as Qualcomm 9008 Device (otherwise search for driver manually or delete the device in device manager and connect again with resetbutton

No, there are no buttons on the CarPlay mini case (UX999), how do I release the resetbutton? Now the device is defined as an MTP-Device
[Android Head-Units] theluke79:
What is the advantage of connecting to the computer? Is it required for root?

[Android Head-Units] LwannaCM:
Just streamed a Soundfile from yt music and also locally from a mp3 File. Also checked Other players, Same problem

If the Hardware was faulty, the failure would be present all the time. I also checked the temp of the CPU its normal but not overheating. So this has Something to do with the Firmware or a faulty preinstalled system. That's why i wanted to Reinstall the system from scratch, Not Just factory reseting. I also have to pay around 50euro to send it Back to China.

I've bought the 3rd edition of joyeautos multimedia box running android 11 (MMB). The new interface mimics apple carplay and a it is quite nice, however the user experience is terrible. Reading through this thread and https://xdaforums.com/t/carplay-ai-box-android-headunit-dongle.4196931/ its clear that this is always the case with all manufacturers of these devices.

I've looked into custom firmware and I've found that firmware updates are provided on the vendor website https://www.carplaymmb.com/pages/software-updates but as of yet there is nothing for this new device.

Here is a demo of the new device

Below are 6 annoying things that I would like to fix by reverse engineering the firmware.

• 1 The return to all apps button in the bottom left corner does not display correctly and is out of bounds. This is visible in the demo video at 3:17 and at 9:41 even when on a test bench.

• 2 Terrible floating navigation button that breaks user experience on non touch devices. My car has a rotary knob in the centre console. inside compatible apps I can move up and down but not left and right because this forces focus on the floating icon. If it is removed I would have full control with car controls and not have to rely on the remote. Example: I side loaded the android TV version of YouTube because only someone brain dead would pre-install the mobile version and expect you to use a remote to navigate it. This is 10x easier to use as the app is designed to be used with a remote control, in addition you would have full control with car controls if the floating button didn't exist or was implemented better.

• 3 You cannot enter a password for WIFI points. You must set the password of your hotspots to 12345678 in order to connect. (you can bypass this through the WIFI settings on the android TV YouTube app).

• 4 Boot animation is excessively long and annoying (see demo video 3:56 - 3:14). The start up should be shortened to where it begins showing the MMB logo and start from there.

• 5 You cannot rename the device. When pairing via Bluetooth and other method there's a stupid name for the device.

• 6 When you rearrange apps a reboot sets them back to factory positrons.

My background is in full stack web development but I'm a little familiar with android development. If someone could help in reverse engineering the firmware and fixing these issues I believe it would make the product a million times better for me and a lot of people on this forum.

note: I've spoken to the developer of this device and he is not interested in fixing any of these expect for •1

Please help me :(

I have ugraded my Alwinner ai Carplay Box - android 9 with the latest software i found here. butnow the start screen is flickering "Hello" continously without entering the system...

Please help me :(

I downloaded the software into a USB drive, inserted in the Box, it said Upgrade, so i did, then thebox started to flicker red (which means upgrading) then i started the carplay and normally you will see the "Hello" screen for few seconds, then it enters... yet now the "Hello" screen stays on flickering.... without entering. what can i do ?
[Android Head-Units] iOMGNeon:
Thank you for the firmware. Do I flash through phoenix suite or do I use to official update method by renaming zip to upgrade_pkg and placing file on device?

Also how do I modify the firmware to remove things such as floating navigation bar and make other changes?
[Android Head-Units] localos:
official update method by renaming zip to upgrade_pkg and placing file on device
[Android Head-Units] localos:
Different update method. Simply download onto USB without renaming files. Plug USB into MMB -> go into MMB settings -> upgrade device -> select update.
[Android Head-Units] iOMGNeon:
Yes I just read through the new update procedure on https://www.carplaymmb.com/pages/software-updates

and it looks like vendor uploaded a new firmware recently as that was not there when I made my post yesterday.

JoyeAutos 6th December 2021 update for MMB11 introduces many new bugs. One of them basically breaks the device. Every time you drive the box disconnects from CarPlay which makes the box pointless and unusable as it no longer works in motion. Any one else have this issue? I'm pretty frustrated with this rubbish device, it was made by donkeys and I will most likely refund it if no one can make a custom ROM.
[Android Head-Units] raynersx:

I do have the update downloaded but I wouldn't recommend updating as it will basically make your device unusable. Seems like JoyeAuto may be aware of this because they have removed the firmware from their site.
[Android Head-Units] iOMGNeon:
Yeah on HDMI it works but on CarPlay it constantly disconnects after new update. The whole thing is a buggy mess. As of now there will be no way to roll back without a full flashable image so we will have to wait for another update. They are charging way too much for this rubbish box.

MMB11 - box NEW UPDATE 14th. December anybody tested it???

Software Updates

Design by GemPages

www.carplaymmb.com

1. Unzip the downloaded folder using Windows computer. (If you are using a mac, try to make sure the USB is in FAT32 formatting).

2. Locate two files:

(1) “Apollo_L6R_Z-DH1_JM1_ota_xx.ZIP”

(2) “Apollo_L6R_Z-DH1_JM1_ota_xx.md5sum”

3. Transfer both of these files onto a USB thumbdrive with FAT32 format.

4. Plug the USB into the MMB 11 Plus -> Go into MMB settings -> Version Upgrade -> Select Renew

5. Wait 1-2 minutes for the loader to go to 100% and for the MMB system to reboot. It will return to your original car menu, and upgrade with red LED light for 5-10 minutes (depending on your USB reading speed), finally rebooting into the Android 11 menu.

Was speaking to them last night and I have already tested the update and yes it does fix the disconnection issue however they have introduced a thousand more bugs :/ now there is no sound and radio takes priority over the box if you manage to get sound playing. So when watching YouTube/Netflix you will also hear the radio. They have removed the ability to enter a WIFI password and the engineering menu doesn't work so you cannot hide the apps you do not want. I think I'm going to give up with this device and return it.
