Hi Yakir, hope you do well.

This is the guide for Ownice K7 970 without 360

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1J_kGbDKOX8ujt40t3OE2ncIrzelFPoIY?usp=sharing

Please follow this steps:

System Upgrade 1. Make sure USB Flash Drive type 3.0 or above

2. Format USB Flash Drive on PC -- Choose file type FAT32

3. Download upgrade file, unzip the file on PC directory

4. Copy files from unzip folder to USB Flash Drive root directory

5. Unplug all USB connected devices, plug the USB flash drive to normal USB port (Do not use quick charge port)

6. Enter File Manager App to make sure upgrade files in USB Flash Drive

7. Enter Settings--System--System Upgrade--System Local Upgrade (make sure your car is engine ON so the Car will not enter to power save mode (if you have this mode).

8. Choose "wipe data and format flash", then choose "USB" to start upgrading, it takes about 6 minutes.

9. After enter into the main interface, it starts automatic initialization, wait about 1 minute here until initialization completed.

10. When Android is up inside the OS, perform regular restart, till this step do not reset manually the unit.

11. Install APK files as needed There is a video to show you how to do update :

After update some system app will be deleted you can download the install file in this link : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LykDqC7IzG-wdBD_vOaM3vn8JHyxVz4W?usp=sharing

If you dont have access to OS this is the second way:

Step 1 : format the U Flash disk , and then unzip the File, copy all the files inside to the root directory of the U Flash disk , and then connect the U Flash disk to the machine;

Step 2 : completely power off the machine ( b + and acc to disconnect at the same time, means remove the power cable from the machine )

Step3: keep key2 wire to ground and then connect the power cable, and power the machine, when see the screen appear green words stopped the key2 to ground then the machine will auto start update and waiting the update complete.

There is a video to show you how to do :

Be sure you are using the correct firmware version, if you have "window" in file name, you must stick to the same version, check that you are using the correct FW for correct device - Ownice K7 970+ is not compatible with lower versions (I had stack for week trying to reset back the device, succeeded only via K2 pin (the secind way) to ground after several times, - so do it on your own risk).

After upgrade build in applications will disappear, you will have to reinstall them.

At some cases you will have to perform screen keys learning again, do it this way:

Settings > Factory (Password: 123456) > Touch area Key > Position -> Left >And do the study as shown in below link video

*** BE SURE YOU ARE USING CORRECT FW FILE, YOU MAY GET A BRICK IN CASE IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ***

will someone give me a picture with the wiring diagram? For k7
[Android Head-Units] philfromsouth:
Hello

[Android Head-Units] philfromsouth:
It’s a great android car but strange it’s look like a k7 but it’s not labeled as an Ownice..

all works well except phone, my card is lte , i added phone on setup, I can receive call and make a phone call but impossible to hang on… any idea ?
[Android Head-Units] Markisloko:
Hello, I have been reading the entire post and I have not seen what happened to me. When doing a factory reset I have lost the play store apart from almost all the apps that came from the factory and the gps signal is very bad. I have tried with gps test deleting agps and nothing. Can someone send me a photo of their configuration in gnss enginer mode to see if there is something wrongly configured? The play store I have not been able to solve it either
[Android Head-Units] kingb1988:
I did this. They say it should activate automatically but, it doesn't.

Do you know any solution to this?!

I got this after a factory reset as well.

Any input is highly appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] NonoBingo:
Hello,

I have juste asked it to my dealer but anyone here have a link for 360° AND 1024*600 version?

I just got it that i have purchased a 1024*768 K7 :/

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] zmylna:
Hi. Have you fix this ? I have similar problem with settings app. Every boot settings (fabric section) appears on the screen.

This is very annoying.
[Android Head-Units] zmylna:
Hi everyone.

I bought seemingly the same device only under the Isudar brand.

The RCA wiring harness is missing the front and rear audio output.

The only ones that are there are AUX-OUT-L and AUX-OUT-R. There is no split for front and rear.

Does anyone know if I got a bad wiring harness or there is no possibility to output sound to front and rear via RCA at all?
[Android Head-Units] Alberto_Gotta:

Hi guys, my radio has the following version rom - pic attached. A fellow group member recommended the following version of a custom rom - TS10.1.2_20211222.190750_THEME1 and my radio is a Windows-OLS10

are they the same - compatible with my radio? TS10.1.2_20211222.190750_THEME1 - is it compatible with my radio which has Windows-OLS10 ?

I´ve bricked mine TS10 1024*600 right now trying to flash a 720p with 360 cam.

Now will try to reflash and remove all 360 cam's in my car.

And the chinese won't reply me more. LOL
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
anyone has mcu upgrade for K7?
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
did you update the unit?i want to do the same thing!
[Android Head-Units] evo1234:
These versions are older than my one. I am considering this - http://red-mod.ru/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 RedMod rom
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
so i tried to flash TS10.1.2_20211222.190750_THEME1 and unfortunately i bricked my hu.finally i flash again the OLS version and now is working again!
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
i have problem with gps.i must restart the hu in order to have signal a lot of times.anyone else has the same?any solution?
[Android Head-Units] Kyledupav:
Good Day, not sure if this has been asked before but I seem to be having this issue. I have the 3 screen display that shows the car, what's playing and the map. I like it to be on the home screen but when I turn the car off and back on the music or radio whichever was playing last opens onscreen, I like that it auto starts playing but I don't like that it goes to the music or radio screen. Does anyone know how to stop this? I also found that if you install a ratio app and set it as default it shows on the little music screen on the home page, how can we do this with a music app. I want to change the default because I don't like that I cant search for music with the default music player. Thank you
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
you can't do this with another music player
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
Do you have a solution? I have the same problem but I haven't done any upgrade.
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
Hello. I dont have access to OS so I tried the second way. My system never show the green words. I used bothe the key1 and the key2.
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
Do you have any solution?
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
From my experience must be the ownice
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
Could revive my HU again thanks to this group. Many thanks.
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
How can one now if our HU has the 360 chipset ???
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Following my limited knowledge about this unit, I this that you must open the back of the unit ans search for a mini chip with plenty of thin cooper cables soldered to diffentent pins in the processor
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
Initialy I had dificulty with rear cam ......... there are 2 yellow jacks that have the same name VIDEO IN ??? one of them worked for me .......... the other didn't
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
why ??
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Well, to see if your unit is 360 compatible
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
Yes, sure .... I never opened my HU .... but you must be right the 360 can be that chip ..........
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
If you have limited knowledge about this HU ......... Could I imagine if you were expert .... right now with your help me ownice works like never before ...........
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Well I opened both 360 and no360 units from Ownice the chip isn't there in the no360 unit ! that's the only diff between the 2 motherboards
[Android Head-Units] Ace8989:
Hi mario. I boight TS10 with 360 camera function from Navistar.. will this 360 firmware work?

TS10 .1.1_20210315.184102_WINDOW- OLS10-360
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Normally yes
[Android Head-Units] doublecheese:
Hi guys , I have the 360° cam version and everything works fine .

However after 6 months of use, recently my GPS started to shows No Signal and No Fix .

Ali my navigation apps try to estimate the location by wi-fi because they can't read the exact GPS location.

I reset the HU with a tooth pick and sometimes the GPS starts to work, sometimes It won't and I reset the device again and again till it works. Let's say when I need to navigate somewhere it doesn't usually work but sometimes it just works out of sudden.

Do you know what could cause this ?

Thanking you

However sometimes the GPS just works fine , there isn't a stable way to pinpoint what could cause this.
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
i had the same problem.i did 2 things

first of all check the screw of the gps antenna and second reflash the mcu

i did those 2 and the gps now works fine.
[Android Head-Units] doublecheese:
Ok I will try that, the thing is where to get the correct version of the MCU, my Chinese seller never replied me

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
you must talk to the seller just to be sure.but first chech the screw of the antenna.
[Android Head-Units] Odd_Man:
What if I use this firmware on navistar with no 360 support to get 360 support. Is it possible
[Android Head-Units] arrostos:
Hello there. Did any one tried to install K7 firmware on K6 plus unit? Will it work or not? Recently i bought Ownice K6 plus and was wondering what is the difference of software between them. And about canbus, I have the Simple Soft one and how seller told me it does not suppor door oppening and external temperature.
[Android Head-Units] akstha:
Hi,

I also received similar file but I didn’t get how do i perform deep format. Can you please guide me.

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] nnquynh:
Do the following (the same as flash new firrmware):

1. Format USB Flash Drive on PC -- Choose file type FAT32

2. Copy the upgrade file to USB Flash Drive root directory

3. Unplug all USB connected devices from the unit, plug the USB flash drive to one USB port

4. Check with File Manager App to make sure upgrade files in USB Flash Drive

5. Swipe down from the top of the screen, then tap Settings--System--System Upgrade--System Local Upgrade

6. Choose "wipe data and format flash", then choose "USB" to start upgrading, it takes about 6 minutes.

After finnish, the unit will enter into the main interface, it starts automatic initialization, wait about 1 minute here untill initialization completed.

7. Reset the unit (swipe down from top of the screen, tap reset - OK)

8. Some preinstalled apps may get lost, you have to reinstalle them (attatched bellow).
[Android Head-Units] akstha:
Thank you so much I’ll try but currently my headunit is stuck on boot loading. Once it loaded after 5 hours but now I’m waiting when it’ll boot up 😆
[Android Head-Units] Carlotuned:
Hello everyone. Like many owners of the Ownice K7 unit I have problems with the gps, I reflash the firmware by sending me an updated one from the Ownice assistance on AliExpress but the gps continues to give problems. I would like to try to reflash the MCU, can you tell me where to find a suitable filesystem for my unit not equipped with 360 cam? Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
Which version of firmware do you have?
[Android Head-Units] Julek1981:
Hi if wrong section very sorry...

My T10 radio got this issue...

How to fix this? Maybe something will help new firmware?

Current firmware

TS10.1.2_20210224.140924
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
Hi everyone I had my newest firmware TS10 .1.1_20210806._WINDOW- OLS10-360. If you have higher firmware version. Please, share it. Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
Hi. In the past I had many problems with the aliexpress seller firmware. Since MARIODANTAS gave me one that works very nice I never wanted to change. In the begin it had the GPS latence but after some time got better.
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
I couldn't watch the MP4
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
Hi. If you still face with GPS problem. Change it to another aftermarket GPS for android HU, because Ownice GPS is not good quality in K7 HU.
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
Hello Jenny, what do you mean about changing the GPS to another afthermarket GPS? Are you advising me to change to another HU? Right now I'm very happy, since I changed the firmware being advised on this forum I never had other problems. My firmware is ........... TS10.1.2_20210826.104238_WINDOW_OLS10
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
TS10.1.2_20210826.104238_WINDOW_OLS10 ......................... No 360 cam
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Yes I found 2 firmwares, 1.1 with 360 and 1.2 without 360

Wish 1.2 with 360 but didn't find it yet !
[Android Head-Units] nigella87:
I'm looking forward to it!
[Android Head-Units] nigella87:
Oh.. ㅜㅜ I ran the 360 application, but something like this comes up...even though I connected the Internet..
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Oh, it works like a charm in my OWNICE K7, never saw that message
[Android Head-Units] nigella87:
It's work!!! I have waited for minutes! thank you, verry muchTT
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
That OWNICE K7 software have some bugs

1-) The color APK sends wrong color codes to the rgb side buttons (or in the worst case the buttons are not really RGB backlighted)

2-) The ambient light app that powers up the led strips works pretty well, but when I want to put the leds off, the button (on/off) does NOTHING
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
Yes, bro. This bug is the same on my HU K7. I have one another bug that Cam 360 and dashcam V3 haven't operated record after HU is waking up. I must restart HU after that cam 360 and V3 are OK, but when I turn off my car and turn on again, this bug is still like above.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
I tried to reach these people to submit the bugs, but they don"t care about it, I will sell the K7 unit and go straight to a Joying unit, better support

Impossible to get an answer from OWNICE website

Cheers !
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
I think K7 is not good. They make a lot of functions on it, for this reason It is not stable. This afternoon I had got one update software for Cam360 app but I don't know what is different between old and new app.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
Can you share the app (or the firmware update) ? is it possible ? via Google Drive, ro WeTransfer or another filetransfer stuff please
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
Yes,bro. Tomorrow I will extract it to Apk and share for you by google drive. Now, in Vietnam is night 😄
[Android Head-Units] nigella87:
today, I recieved 0421 temporary firmware they send to me to use for 2 days. Because, my device's 360 apps suddenly shut down and doesn't record. And ADAS cam sometimes couldn't be detected. So, they send me it for test. Perhaps, after 2 days They send me new firmware after testing if have bug or not.

Would I send you any temporary firmware I have??
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
This is my firmware. Can you look for different with yours?
[Android Head-Units] nigella87:
I'm Korean. It's night and rainy... TT . I can't go out to parking lot.... don't have an umbrella. I will massage to you about firmware i recieved.
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
LoLol fellow, go sleep we understand LoL

I installed the 1.1 20210421 version that you provided via your Google Drive, I saw some diffs, we can now add a background image to the settings menu

Have a new menu named car options or something like that

Didn't see another significant diffs but anyway many thanks for sharing, this allow OWNICE K7 users to be up-to-date
[Android Head-Units] mariodantas:
It will be nice to collect all visible bugs (i.e. Ambiant light ON/OFF button dont work in ambiant.apk, side touch buttons colors don't correspont to colors choosen in color.apk and maybe other bogs) and submit them to OWNICE, I tried to do but they don't read the emails sent to support

@nigella87 I'm thinking about you, as you reach them (OWNICE) and arrange yourself to get firmware updates, that's very nice

Can you explain here (if possible of course) how do you do to reach OWNICE support ?, It will allow us to submit bugs and expect some solutions in next releases

For all OWNICE K7 owners (like us) the OWNICE branch must make much better than they do actually, their units aren't cheap, ant personnaly I found that they have a gfood quality hardware for the price, but in terms of software, they didn't make it yet, and the lack of support is tremendous.

Here my Google Drive with firmwares collected (thanks to you guys and some 4PDA forum members)

Did you see any diff with this apk related to the old one ?
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
Hi brother, only GPS antena. I had used Gps antena of Teyes HU for changing K7 Gps antena. It is good signal.
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
Hi. That's great and I may try it because there are many options in the market. Anyway I would like to combine the original GPS antenna, with the SMA type from ownice HU. Do you have that knowledge? ....................

latest firmware without 360

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1J_kGbDKOX8ujt40t3OE2ncIrzelFPoIY

also if you loose apps here are all default apps

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LykDqC7IzG-wdBD_vOaM3vn8JHyxVz4W
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
I think It is good option. You must pay attention the position of GPS antenna installed opposite to your face that help your HU get the best signal.
[Android Head-Units] Jennythuytien:
Hi, brother Saltofx. If you have latest firmware with 360. Please, share it to me. Thanks and Best Regards !
[Android Head-Units] filipeabreuferreira:
That's it. I placed the antenna in the front glass and the signal is great right now.
[Android Head-Units] rflo2323:
So I had the ownice k7 installed into my 2018 Toyota CHR. I got the GPS working.

I am having trouble calibrating the 3d bird eye view. Has anyone done this before? All the cameras work but the auto calibration fails...and when I try to manual calibrate the image is distorted.
[Android Head-Units] n4zxi:
20 pages to go through, I may have missed this. But some help would be nice.

I have the k7 with the 360 cameras.

There are also the Green/Brown connectors for Front/Rear cameras, not 360.

I have plugged cams in there, and using Open Cam I can see there is input, but the format is wrong.

I have NTSC cameras, but I am getting a 9square grid, black and white, not the full color image it should be.

Am told go to settings, etc. and change the format. Those options are not in the 360 image build.

Are they there in a newer build? Or some stand-alone app that can make those settings?

I'd like to use those extra cams on my Jeep for trail recording, not the fish-eye 360 cams.
[Android Head-Units] nnquynh:
I have a K6 plus. I updated th MCU online. After updated, I can not use bluetooth phone anymore. The head unit connect the phone, but no sound. Before it was fine. (I still can stream music from the phone over bluetooth very well). I want to roll back to the old MUC version and asked Ownice for the update file, but they say there is no such file, MCU can be updated only over network. Does anybody have the MCU update file? or knows how to solve the no sound, no microphone by bluetooth calling? Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
there is mcu file.tell them to send you.
[Android Head-Units] nnquynh:
I contacted Ownice, they said MCU update could only be done online, thay do not have the MCU update file.
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
ownice produce the mcu but they dont have it...ok

i have k7 and they send me the mcu
[Android Head-Units] nnquynh:
They even told me that I should replace the bluetooth module
[Android Head-Units] nnquynh:
Could you send me the MCU file?
[Android Head-Units] saltofx_v:
so if cant do it why the did this video?

mcu update

the mcuis only for my hu..maybe will brick yours
[Android Head-Units] nnquynh:
My MCU version is Ts10.1.1-100-13-A4C689-220415(GDD330). What is yours?
[Android Head-Units] nnquynh:
Update: Ownice advice me to reset UMCU (setting - factory - car choose - set all canbus, car, model to value 00. The MCU will update. Then choose the rightt value for your car, the MCU willl update againn). After that I have the new MCU version (what I can not do via automatic MCU update in setting - about - detection). Now bluetooth call works again.
[Android Head-Units] Th@mas:
Dear all

Sorry to reply on an old thread, but I just installed an ownice, and i can’t connect my iphone (iOS 15.1) on TLink. I restarted, tried multiple cables but nothing worked. The problem with wireless carplay connection is that it won’t support a simultaneous wifi connection. Did anyone face the same issues ? Many thanks for the advice
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Hello

I have a question about the K7 before purchasing

Does OK Google work?

When you get a text message on your phone, does it pop up on the screen?
[Android Head-Units] Th@mas:
Dear @mariodantas

I am an absolute beginner in this forum and in manipulating those files in general. Can i use these to reinstall TLINK in order to make it work with an iPhone connected on USB? My version (dw_1.8.9) only works wireless. And how should i install it? Merci beaucoup
[Android Head-Units] Th@mas:
Hello it works on mine after downloading google assistant.
[Android Head-Units] checksum123:
Thank you

The reason I asked is in the teyes cc3 whi h has the exact hardware as the K7, they purposely disable Google voice to integrate their own voice, which sucks.

Ok Google does nothing... you can press the assistant to wake Google up.

Another question

When you get a text message on your phone while connected via Bluetooth, does it pop up on the screen like the teyes CC3?
