Ffs @TorstenH ... please update the signature with a repository of the wonderful things you code. It's a pity that we can find out about your software only from some random posts in the forum. Make a repository / a post / a signature with all the things you make for us. Make a webpage with links to the forum, with a ~donation~ button .. c'mon .. you have to promote your extraordinary work ..

P.s. Don't get me wrong, I'm only saying that your work is undervalued, caused by a lack of promotion and/or a missing repository/post with the links to all the great software you've written.

Thanks !
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. ♥ I'm really happy to read that and I will think about your ideas.

But first I want to finalize the next version of AppSwitcher, with brings some nice features and improvements...

If someone flashed the firmware it would be really nice to get a photo of the Android about screen.
[Android Head-Units] ciorapel:
I've flashed it. What menu are you talking about ? The Car Info menu, or standard Android - about ?

Placebo effect that I have (i'm sure it's placebo) is a nicer sound quality and a snappier interface.

// seems like my resetting problems are even fewer. Can't test the radio memory, as my radio app is still broken, but all other settings seem to stick.

[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
Thank you for the photos. Same as on my head unit (after flashing the firmware).

I think the basic firmware was build in April 2020 so they may have added additional cars for can bus support or minimal changes on their own apps.

I don't think it's worth to flash it.

Don't miss to install:

Finally managed to flash the V53 build on my V1 Pro (8257)

First I had problems with flashing, because I got usb errors when the proccess started. Errors was caused by my usbs sticks that had GUID partition tables. The recovery only supports MBR partition tables. Reformating to mbr using Rufus fixed that <- might be helpful info for others.

After flashing hotspot threw an error. could not enable.

Fixed it by changing the AP security to open, and then back to secure.

Can't comment on stability and SQ, since I installed the headunit this weekend and used V53 for 10min.

But one noticable change is that the FM radio app now shows song names. With the previous version (v50) I didn't see song names.

Hello! I need help. has anyone faced this problem? My radio doesn't work. there is no way to switch to FM AM, and changing frequencies is also not available. there is only one way, manually use the slider to select the frequency, but after that the radio freezes for more than 30 seconds. after the radio application restarts and turns on again. I did not change the settings in the menu, as everything was standard as it is. menu 8878-radio.

Extract the zip file and put both files on an old (small) USB drive. The head unit will detect the update as soon as you connect the USB drive.

Hello,

I have a problem with the play store.

When I want to download an application, the download does not start.

It runs in a loop without ever starting the download.

I had an old version that I updated with the one from 23/02/2023.

The play store is also up to date but this has not changed anything.

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix my problem, I would appreciate it.

Mine is without the wireless connect functionality and each time I need to use a USB cable.

Just use 7zip-file manager

Extract all the bin file to a folder. Then search for .apk. Hopefully you'll find what you need

Good morning everyone.

I bought junsun v1 pro 4/64 to replace a px5.

everything is fine except for 2 things.

the internet connection is always slow,

The most painful thing is the poor sound quality.

Px5 was premium,

junsun looks like a megaphone.

I have a system with subwoofer, amp and morel tempo system, but unfortunately the sound is horrible with all possible settings.

What can I do?

to install viper4fx?
[Android Head-Units] dansblackcat:
I tried the newest Autolink apk with and older version of the firmware and couldn't get wireless to work. Only the Dec22 and onwards seem to support it.

Wireless was honestly pretty straight forward for me. I don't recall having to set anything up, it just worked. In fact I thought I was still connected via USB, until it connected automatically when my phone was in my pocket.

I do get a BT tethering message on my phone so maybe you need bluetooth setup first

Hello everyone

I have a Junsun V1S Pro head unit running Android 11

From what I know from AliExpress, it says on product description “carplay (wireless) + Auto”

I have auto link enabled and activated, and it’s version says “sd_1.9.6” and it’s stuck there on “Waiting” and I can’t make CarPlay wireless to work by any means.

Carplay wired works, but wireless I don’t know what to do. Also,I don’t have SWC.

I attach to this post any images that I might find relevant. Also, my AutoLink app only has one icon (android auto?) on bottom right, compared to other people that I’ve seen,that have that same icon + an orange one with a Wi-Fi symbol in it (and those usually work and connect through auto link)

Sorry if I made this post confusing or something, but I don’t really know how to explain this better or what to do.

Also, if I go on my iPhone - general - CarPlay and select the vehicle (Bluetooth) name, it does nothing at all, like it doesn’t even connect.

Tl;dr: Junsun V1S Pro unit, with CarPlay wireless, Auto link app is sd-1.9.6, activated and stuck on “waiting”. I can’t make it connect to enable CarPlay wireless

Images in attachment:

- My AutoLink app, on “Waiting” and doesn’t do anything besides that

- Print screen from another video, with a person that made it work, and he had that orange icon that I don’t know what it is and aí don’t have it

- My head unit firmware info (?)

Also, could this be a firmware issue or something? If yes, how could I know what firmware file I needed for my head unit?

Thankyou for any help and sorry for the long post
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
Android Auto wireless is supported since version sd_2.0.19. So you may need to update your head unit.

I have honestly given up with the Trash that is Junsun and it is going in the bin.

Don't get sucked in as they will not help you. Worst dealing on eBay I have ever had in 20 years and have reported them to eBay Australia for creating false listings if they won't honour the warranty they are claiming on the site. BEWARE!!!
[Android Head-Units] joaomPT:

[Android Head-Units] joaomPT:
I’m having this error when trying the update. Any idea?

I have both files extracted in the usb pen, and it’s FAT32

I also attached the firmware as a picture. This is the most recent compared to those firmware files I saw on “Junsun Megathread”

Note: this firmware was given by the Aliexpress seller
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
First thing: You're posting in a thread related to Junsun V1 Pro MTK825X but you're trying to flash a 8667 firmware.

Please validate if your device is a 8667. Trying to flash an incompatible firmware may prevent your head unit from booting and you have to remove the device from your car, disassemble it and connect it to a PC and reflash it with a special tool by using the required backup files. A nightmare...

You can check that with CPU-Z (e.g. from PlayStore) or by installing AppSwitcher and posting a photo of the About section.

In general the head units have a problem reading large modern USB drives. Use an older one with 8GB or less.
[Android Head-Units] joaomPT:
Hello, I couldn’t use CPU Z so I used CPU X. This is my CPU - AC8257 (MediaTek aka MTK?)

If I’m in the wrong thread, where should I post and what should I do from here?

Like, which latest firmware should I use, based on the info I already provided, or do you need something else?

I bought my Head unit in September 2022, and this firmware is March 2023. Should I install this?

https://xdaforums.com/t/junsun-v1-pro-mtk8259-mtk8257-firmware.4283365/page-27#post-88461523

Also my current android version is 11.

I’m sorry because I’m a bit lost on this matter and thank you a lot for helping me
[Android Head-Units] joaomPT:
Update on my last post:

I installed the V61 from 2023 and everything works awesome. I can now switch themes, radio has extra info and sound quality is way way better ! 😄

But I’m still sad that I cannot use AutoLink with CarPlay wireless, it is still stuck on Waiting and I don’t have the orange icon , I’m losing hope :(

Is there any way for me to reset AutoLink activation? I’m starting to feel like the seller gave me a wrong code because I just noticed there’s a service on Aliexpress from Junsun where you select Android Auto or CarPlay code to buy. I specifically asked the seller for CarPlay but this still does not work.

@TorstenH sorry for tagging you, but your help has made me read a ton of posts, basically all this MTK825X thread and made me understand all of it.

Thank you a lot again 🙏🏻
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
Change the password of the hotspot on your head unit and try again.
[Android Head-Units] joaomPT:
Hey. I’ve done that but still nothing. Changed the hotspot name, password, security to no password and my AutoLink still activated.

Do I need to have a SIM card connected to the head unit for this to work? I don’t even use the 4G slot

What I use for head unit internet connection is WI-FI

I’ve been reading other posts and some people claim that if I go 8878 > Erase All Content could work. What could I potentially lose by doing this? Radio settings/canbus settings, etc?
[Android Head-Units] TorstenH:
No, 4G is not required

The phone handshakes with the head unit via Bluetooth and the head unit stats a hotspot the phone can connect to. The password gets transmitted to the phone via the established Bluetooth connection so the phone can connect to the head units wifi hotspot.

It may help for testing purposes if you start the hotspot on the head unit manually.

I wouldn't do that and according to my experience this will not solve auch issues.
[Android Head-Units] joaomPT:
Thank you. I’ll try that once more but by the multiple tests I’ve already made, I could not deactivate the AutoLink. I was also considering extracting the APK and re-installing to see what happens.

Also, I’ve seen another post where a guy had activated the wrong code on AutoLink and AliExpress couldn’t remove the code (basically my issue) and he used an apk called Speedplay and then uninstalled the AutoLink and activated on that new apk the working code.

However, I could potentially be using an old app version compared to the actual firmware I’m using.

Would you think this is also a good idea?
[Android Head-Units] Eki_13:
Hello. I just in stalled v44 but I still face the issue where radio is paused when autolink app is open. Autolink is on 2.0.18. I read in past that it was fixed but seems not to be the case. Any hints?

[Android Head-Units] dansblackcat:
The licence file is stored in the main directory of the internal SD card. I forget the name of the folder.

It's pretty easy to find. It's just a text document and it will have the same licence number on it as what you see when you launch Autolink. You can try and cut and paste it somewhere else and see if that helps?
[Android Head-Units] dansblackcat:
I think I got lucky, I didn't need to do any of that.

After updating my firmware I setup bluetooth connection, set up my hotspot using the default name and password from my phone. I also have my HU set to use 5ghz.

When I launch Autolink it connects first time.
[Android Head-Units] nticlav:
hi.

fw v61 has dark mode?
[Android Head-Units] joaomPT:
Thanks. I did try that but didn’t help much.

What did help me was:

(I cleared AutoLink cache and storage just in case)

Going on hidden menu > 8878 > others > disable AutoLink > reboot

8878 again > Others > enable AutoLink > reboot

And now it allows me to put a new code.

I guess that the app automatically activated itself if you open it twice after doing this procedure. So, later if I wanna go back to it, I gotta disable it and enable it again otherwise it will be activated again
[Android Head-Units] joaomPT:
Hey. I didn’t test v61 much yet (I updated it on Friday I think)

I can check it out later when I head to the car and tell you
[Android Head-Units] t33t:
Is there any changelog or known changes on v61?
[Android Head-Units] joaomPT:
To be honest, I'm not quite sure if that's possible.

You can't do that also with wired Carplay for example. (I use Carplay so I use this as an example)

You can play CarPlay stuff when messing with Head Unit, but you can't play radio when inside CarPlay

Tbh that would be a blessing, because sometimes I wanna listen to radio and use my iphone Waze
[Android Head-Units] Eki_13:
Many android 2din support it. Even the junsun v1 pro for passat. It uses a different app for carplay though instead of autolink
