I updated to the latest one. I guess have the same MCU version as you at the moment and still have sometimes (when driving) that my carplay is disconnecting and i’m using wired connection.

App version: 124_Overseas/0x400/0xf/

System: 902.20240424.025123

MCU version: V0.21.7 G14726

CAN box version: HY V3.01.101BYPT

App: Phone Link

Could u tell me your versions and if u have ever problems with this? Also which phone and iOS version u using on your iPhone?
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
I do not have a Sim card and LTE signal connected to the headunit because I do not use that. I only use mobile data on my phone.

I’m waiting, now running iOS 17.4.1 on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and hopefully next week when iOS 17.5 official rolled out it is better then before.
[Android Head-Units] del_piero3:
Hi everyone, joining the conversation as i do own as well a Ainavi H6 with 6GB and 128GB of storage. So far, i like the device and it gave my car a huge modernity uplift as i installed it in a BMW E46 from 2003 which had the OEM navigation system, running on DVD :-). DVD reader started to crash often, original navigation screen had a lot of dead pixels, the bluetooth had a awful quality, it was time to switch to something else.

On my side, i ran (and still running) a lot of different hick-ups with the unit, that i must thank you because some of the responses here helped me to solve most of my problems. I also updated the device with the firmware that you publish here, and the very latest one from page 15 is a major step to stability on my side. I had the crackling sound that you speak about Rickomode, but in the latest update, i couldn't ear it anymore. For me, it was hapenning when the navigation app was outputting something (like a chime sound for a radar alert). From the moment that alert was triggered, all the volume were working with random level, my music would go down as hell, and the chime sound of navigation very high.

One thing i am fighting since the beginning on my side is the canbus box for my E46. I had multiple devices, and the supported functions are poor. I know this has nothing to do with the radio itself, but for example, i can't make work the illumination of the touch buttons on the left when headlights are on, despite the fact that i have +12V on the wire "ILL". Something else is that one of the canbus i would like to try, a "Hiworld" look to have a different pinout than all other canbus boxes i have (Lezhung, Oudi and Simplesoft), is that something you know is frequent this lack of "non-standard" pinout. Sorry for the little off-topic.

One last question i have concerning the boot logo trick to display the menu back in the settings mentioned above, do we need to flash again the unit entirely, or can we only flash the new configuration only ?

From my side i have been trying to flash a "booanimation" from "rederik" (he is famous in bootanimation packages for BMW) but it didn't work from this guide, it started to flash but failed because "device not found" : https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-t...-h6-and-possibly-other-ainavi-models.4654146/

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] gregflln:
Hi Altair571, what is this software "SPDLoader"? Where can we download it?

I would like to have the option to change logo boot.

Thank you !
[Android Head-Units] del_piero3:
It is included in the zip file of the firmware that was posted few pages before. Just extract and you will find it.
[Android Head-Units] del_piero3:
thanks for the heads-up, about SPD Loader, i wasn't planning to change any other setting, but even the default might be dangerous ?

About the bootanimation, i will try another one, the USB was formatted FAT32, i used the same to flash the latest firmware version.

By the way, from my side, the crackling sound when navigation announcement are played are still there, i tried everything, like disabling the DTS and adjusting the levels, but nothing to do, the volume is general is low (i have to go up to 20 something to hear the music), and when a navigation announcement must be played (Android auto or Carplay with Waze), for a brief moment, the sound goes much higher, the announcement is made, then it goes back to lower volume again with a small high-side.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
You need to format the USB to NTFS.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
(To everyone)

Altair, back to this CarPlay topic. Do you use wired USB?

If yes, do you use USB Port from your car or from Ainavi ??

I used the 4 pin of my car (Ainavi delivered cable) but I guess it is USB1 (and not USB2).

They also delivered a USB2.0 from them itself with the 4pin for connect at the back.

Do you recognize this problem or have you ever heard of it?

Could this a problem for this reason that he is disconnecting after 20-30 minutes just randomly (wired only)?
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
Which car do you ride?

Does it have USB1.1 or USB2.0?
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
Hi sir, I contact the support with a lot of messages and I think there are so much agents on their customer service. Every time I getting an different agent it looks like.. Now I received this answer from them.
[Android Head-Units] del_piero3:
I am on that version, V0.21.7.

I already tried to adjust all volumes, and still this happens. I will try to make a video, but i need a second device as i need one connected to Android Auto.

About the CAN profile, you mean the Canbus box setting? I tried different canbus box, and different settings, that volume stuff never really changed.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
When using WIRED APPLE CARPLAY it is working temporary.

It is disconnecting randomly but the phone is still keeping charging.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
Did you used the CAN from the manufacturer?

Are you sure u have it selected good?

Good, we will wait for your video because then we can watch it.

Not yet, it is shipped and I will install it after I receive it.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
I received the USB2.0 cable already but they sending me now a second one extra. But also on that package is my microphone (I received other cheap ass thing for aircondition sunflower) and after I receive it I will give it an try.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
Not yet, what does this function? How does this update process working?

In what way is it more stable?

How to use this file? Put it on USB and into the device and it will do it automatically? What does this file?
[Android Head-Units] oG0P0Go:
I got the Ainavi V5 12.3" Quallacom 8953 4G+64G. It is on Android 12 and i think an old build. Can you please guide me to the latest stable version.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
Seem that you may reach out the support for the latest software /firmware update.

They can provide the right one for you.
[Android Head-Units] mdauria:
Sorry for this old reply, but I didn't find this microphone gain parameter... where did you get it?
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
You could find it in (factory) settings on the bottom. I tried the gain but it wasn't working for me.

Next weekend I'm going to assemble a external microphone on the head unit, hopefully it will work.
[Android Head-Units] mdauria:
Well, I tried for you yesterday with the AINAVI external microphone and unfortunately... for me: no gain, no benefice, no difference. I checked: now I using the external microphone instead of the internal one but no benefice with this one. From my first analysis, I think it's a problem with Zlink and Apple Carplay. I contacted AINAVI support to know if they have a solution.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
Can you share your system information?

Cores, Ram, type machine, mcu version.

Did you also changed Buildin Microphone to External Microphone?
[Android Head-Units] mdauria:
It's not a H6 but a H5 (H6 didn't seem to be compatible with my car)

CPU information:

Qualcomm msm8953, 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 octa-core,Adreno 506 GPU

I didn't find any options to activate the external micro: when I plugged this one, it switched automatically to the external microphone instead of the internal one.
[Android Head-Units] SoftwareSurgeon:
Does anyone know the differences between a model H6 and a X6, if any?

I have a X6 unit that has a MAJOR issue with the volume level differences between general media and the radio. I don't use the radio often, but whenever I switch from playing an audio file at say 80db over to the radio then if will blast at 100db and make you jump out of your seat! Surely there is a 'hidden' balancing menu for the various inputs and hoping someone can inform me on how to access it please. TIA!

[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
@Altair571 Can you help me with this questions?

Do you use it also?
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
About CAN January 2024 update.

“How to update it in steps?”

“Do you use it?”

“What is more stable then the newest CAN?”
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
@Altair571

And what is the difference between placing it on USB with automatically pop-up or only put in 2021 password with CAN UPDATE?

Does I need to setup all settings again or will it not delete the memory data?

Have a car from 2013 so I do not think it is basically normal options not technology what we have now actually.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
Yesterday I installed my microphone and USB 4Pin from the Ainavi which I get. Now I want to try the cabled Carplay and when u saying the old CAN is better then the new one I will give it an try to start with them.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
@Altair571

After I did your text I see now chinese texts.

How to hide this? How did this come and what does it mean?

When update CAN online I go to 24052024 and this is then again normal.
[Android Head-Units] Rickomode:
@Altair571

The problem still there, I lost connectivity while driving.

Phone Link lost the connection while driving.

I'm using the original USB 4pin & 6pin from Ainavi (only 4pin work with carplay).

It only happens with cabled, but I recommend cable because of latency.
[Android Head-Units] djkury:
Hello, I'm new here. I have an Ainavi H6 but cannot solve a Bluetooth problem :(

I cannot pair with the typical Bluetooth devices without screen, like OBD2, BT mouse, BT keyboard... When I try to connect with phone, show me a key and I have to confirm at phone, but with legacy Bluetooth devices (with the typical pairing key 0000 or 1234), only show me a negative pairing key (always is "-2147483648", that is -2^31). After a moment I get the "Couldn't pair with xxxx Because of an incorrect PIN or Passkey" error.

I've tried several apps that don't user the bluetooth layer of the Ainavi. For example, with "Bluetooth Terminal eDebugger" can stablish connection, but I cannot do more or add as a Bluetooth device at Ainavi H6.

I've tried to contact with Ainavi support but finally they don't know and said that Bluetooth is only compatible with phones :(

Ive tried with different firmwares that send me Ainavi support.

Any suggestions??

Thanks!!!
[Android Head-Units] Antonio1996:
Hey, I have the next situation, I have a H6 AINAVI on my corolla 2021 and I separately bought a 360

Camera and when I installed the unit it came with the AVM software for the 360 camera, and the good thing about this camera or software is that with the Key learning function I can open the 360 camera with a button of the steering wheel, but then I talked with AINAVI for the “round view Not Activated” message and AINAVI support sent me that upgrade for the new version, I upgraded it and it allowed me to activate the software but now I can’t have activate 360 camera with the steering wheel button and, I really don’t like the new system, they told me that the old version can’t be activated, but I think it might be possible, I today downgraded to the old version and I prefer this to the other new version.

Is there a posibility to activate the software in this version?
[Android Head-Units] djkury:
Thank you so much!! I will try. This is my actual version. That update is for chip 6125?

Thanks again!!!!
[Android Head-Units] djkury:
Then I will not try that. Thank you anyway!

I hope that someone can help with this, I suppose that more people with this unit have tried to connect an OBD2.

I don't know how to force or how to change the pairing PIN that the unit try to connect with the device... It's a headache
[Android Head-Units] Antonio1996:
I think that they can activate it, but doesn’t want to, but that’s.
[Android Head-Units] Antonio1996:
Got it, I just wanted to use the steering wheel controllers to open and close the 360 app, the way I used to do that is with the key learn settings and my steering wheel has a button name: “Mode” and I used that button for the AVM option on the old version and it open the 360 camera when I pressed it, but with the new version it does not open, I know it’s weird to have it like that but for me it’s like OEM, but I still have the floating 369 button and the other stuffs. I’ll ask Ainavi if they can take the effort for me. If anyone ir having the same “weird thing”, please tell me.
[Android Head-Units] Antonio1996:
I’ll do it tomorrow. Thanks.

Hi! (this is my first post here)

I bought a Mint Mobile sim last week (which uses T-Mobile network) and it's working perfectly for me.
[Android Head-Units] djkury:
Thank you so much, I've just install this update and I've testing that Bluetooth issue is still there. I cannot connect to bluetooth OBD2 or other devices.

Please, someone with an Ainavi H6 could say if it can connect to Bluetooth devices as OBD2, bluetooth mouse or keyboard?? ((Phones connect ok, but other BT devices don't))

Recently, I tried updating the OS from "902.20240424.025123" to "20240521.101738". I also applied the HiWorld Canbus update to "H1H2TYF23A-18/5/24".

After that, I experienced an issue where songs would randomly skip to the next one after approximately 30 seconds to a minute. The timing varies, but this issue is reproducible.

Then, I tried downgrading the CANBUS to the last used version "3072-H1H2TYF23A-240415". The song skipping issue improved but still remained. The OS is "20240521.101738", CANBUS is "3072-H1H2TYF23A-240415".

Eventually, I downgraded the OS back to "20240110.233133". After this, the song skipping issue completely disappeared. The OS is "20240110.233133", the CANBUS is "3072-H1H2TYF23A-240415".

In conclusion,

I suspect that the "20240521.101738" OS and the "H1H2TYF23A-18/5/24" Canbus updates may not be fully compatible.

The OS "20240110.233133" is good with "3072-H1H2TYF23A-240415". (this is required to un-plug and plug the usb cable).

The OS "902.20240424.025123" should be good with "3072-H1H2TYF23A-240415". However, the PhoneLink will have more chance for suddenly close if compare with OS "20240110.233133". (this is required to un-plug and plug the usb cable).

@Altair571 To see if you are able to share these feedback to Ainavi/HiWorld. If this is not inconvenience, I can try to share by myself.

Hi,

I accidentally did a factory reset in my Ainavi h6 head unit and now I am missing so many features, like the reverse camera or swc buttons. Before the factory reset the canbus version was a HiWorld for a toyota rav4 (2018)

Please find attached a picture of my version details. It says canbox version unknown, could this be the problem?

Thanks to all :)
[Android Head-Units] Diogo_Cardoso:
My car does not have parking sensors from factory, but according to settings the unit can display parking sensors and climate control info (if you car has the fancy dual zone ones). If you have reverse camera install it will also show steering angle. Regarding to sound quality I think It's good. I have tried vivid launcher but When the unit boots up it defaulted to ainavi launcher If i remember correctly.

Guys, just tried to update a new firmware from seller, and bricked the device……

Well, after plugging usb and confirming the update process, the screen went black. No usual text you can see while updating, just black screen(with led on can be seen). And usb are flashing, so update is going to finish and nothing happened. I know device is working, it is beeping when pressing on volume key, even when pressing on blank screen radio went on… so it is working, just screen shows nothing(led light behind the screen is on all the time). Tried my old version, still same. Tried reset, nothing helps. Device is working, just not showing any image on screen. Like somehow its screen config been wiped by new firmware.

If anyone knows how to revive it, or met this issue, please help me. Many thanks

Off the subject.. Anyone have any idea on how to connect a volume knob to this unit?
[Android Head-Units] dtnam22:
i was thinking of using an arduino board with a rotary encoder and put in around the center console just to control the volume up and down mute maybe..

something like this

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuTE9T1
[Android Head-Units] SpeedyGam:
He haven't wrote anything about a Hardwired knob.
[Android Head-Units] SoftwareSurgeon:
I think this one is the exact same one -- only 1/2 price (and free shipping):

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806909186387.html

And I feel this one looks better as it mounts in the cup holder (also free shipping):

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805722032178.html

Both of them have a receiver module that wires into the radio's KEY 1/2 wires and uses batteries in the controls themselves.

The only question I have (maybe you know SpeedyGam?) is how to connect them if you're also connected with the car's CanBus wiring???
