In case you didn't notice in the thread - it is even mentioned in the first post - there is a gps fix.

I use the gps antenna delivered with the unit. Sitting high up in the dash, I had posted a pic of its location not so long ago...
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Thanks, I had already seen the GPS fix in the first post.

In fact I want to try to set the reception ALSO of the Glonass system (at least) in addition to the GPS NMEA default, by the GPS receiver of the unit, compared to Igo Israel Navi app, with further improvement of speed \ number \ fix of the Sats.

I just have to find time to do it.

In any case, even so I have no problem with Sats reception...
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Nope as I don't see the added value of it.

The unit isn't designed for hifi to begin with. It is designed for recent 4 channel car audio output so it uses DSP.

The audio circuit is well designed and the audio quality isn't that bad at all. Even with stock speakers (& cross overs). May need some tuning as every car audio config is different after all.

With all do respect don't nag or flood the thread about audio or hifi reproduction if you don't even know the basics.

I wrote that this is my 10. Th dsp headunit .. i know now to set Up dsp… price between 100-1000 Euro
[Android Head-Units] balkanera:
Yes me Too… px5 px6 with dsp Amazing Sound also cheap Chinese Radio but These one male nothing what has anything to do with dsp
[Android Head-Units] Jeka1400:
I support you word for word, but third-party programs do not have permissions to adjust the volume level on our device. And on Google maps, it’s been more than a year that I’ve been writing in support with a request to make the volume control a regulator, but they don’t respond.
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
Do you even know what a DSP is? It's just digital processing and not analog and that's it! Take apart your radio and see what you have there, maybe after that don't talk nonsense. You all had 10 different radio tape recorders, but for some reason you are such specialists who bought this one. What kind of android did you have with aliexpress for $ 1000, it's interesting to see.)) I myself disassembled this radio tape recorder, like many here on the forum, and I can say that one of the top UIS 7862S processors is here. Chat with your friend over a cup of coffee, and don't spit out your negativity here.

I'll even attach a photo for you two idiots!

I apologize to the rest of the participants for my statement, but the endless messages are already boring. The branch was not created in order to write what a bad radio.
[Android Head-Units] balkanera:
Oh we are idiots why we ask others because dsp is Not working Fine ??? Nice to see Applaus….

I Control my whole mercedes interface with this 1000 Euro headunit … android version is not tje importanst for me… stable and dsp with nice sound and comfort… big screen… but idiot why we have trouble with dsp… wow …
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Reception is good indeed. Even with the antenna that was in the box. I am also in Western Europe. Couldn't tell for other areas/continents of course.

The system adjustments for GPS settings (aka GPS fix) is usefull, you will notice ounce you find the time.
[Android Head-Units] esmeraldo18:
dude I don't know why you don't understand. maybe you have a different dsp, my unit is hizpo s2 and I can not get good sound quality. at first loudness button was not working, then with an update it started working. when I try to tune the equalizer it loses the quality, I had to turn down mids to eliminate humming. I don't know how to define it but it is very obvious when I speak via bt call, mids are very loud that the voice cracks. So I thought somehow the dsp is not producing the correct flat sound that's why I'm asking for external dsp to cancel the internal one. maybe problem is with the software or maybe with the built in sound hardware not dsp. in the end, I'm unable to get the sound quality what px5 gave for 5 years.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Dear guys, we are all here to exchange infos, opinions... not to insult each other....:)
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
Just look on YouTube how to set it up, run pink noise and you will see on the graph what frequency is knocked out. Lower it with a wave hitting the next frequencies. Without pink noise, it's really hard to tune accurately, but the kamutos sound good and their settings. Everything is individual.
[Android Head-Units] wujek_p:
Is your 4G connection working properly? On my radio (S8 - 8/128/LTE) it connects - disconnects - connects - disconnects, etc. The range is good, the antenna is correctly connected.
[Android Head-Units] Bro´:
Hello everyone. I have finally read the entire 119 pages of comments (I have already forgotten what is on the first :-D) and I want to ask if I can go directly from my version (in the picture) to the latest one. I'm also wondering if anyone else has the same version of MCU 03.15 as I do, and if there's anything I should do with it. The radio arrived just yesterday and it is an Ossuret S8 8+128, supposedly :)
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Welcome to the show. I suppose you will remember the general topics discussed.

Be aware, your mcu says QF03 where with my unit it begins with QF01. So possibly you have the 3rd hardware version of the HU. Latest major update 1404 could work though. But try it manually with checksum and at your own risk.

Or better ask Ossuret if there is an update in order not to void your warranty. Send the screenshot along.
[Android Head-Units] Bro´:
So I decided to update to the latest available version. Everything went well, the checksum and the update itself went quickly. But now, immediately after booting, the HU spins the fan to maximum and the temperatures jump between 56-80 C. I think it's barely 45 C to the touch. Has anyone encountered this? Any ideas?
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Can you post a new screenshot of your system info? Just to check it isn't the buggy fw version...

We don't know much yet about that 3rd hardware configuration. Must be quite recent.

Did you check temp when disabling auto mode and use manual mode? Maybe some bug with the fan app. Also compare with the temp overlay via code 332211.
[Android Head-Units] Bro´:
In the meantime, I went back to the old version, but I didn't think to take a screenshot. I checked the temperatures through HW info, AIDA64 and through code 332211, as a result they all matched, in the AIDA64 program the CPU utilization in real time was over 40% even during idle time. Now after the return I am at 41C and the CPU at idle is 7-8%. So it's definitely not the last update for me.

Yes, the 3rd hardware configuration is quite recent.
[Android Head-Units] Barykelo:
I have the same problem with the fan, when I start the car radio it goes to maximum for some time. downgrade didn't help either
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Hizpo S8 8GB\128GB

No way (I assume) to increase screen brightness, in day view?

Currently I have already set the brightness to 100%, but during the day it doesn't seem very bright, especially with direct sun on the monitor.

S8 has 1280*720 QLed display.

My previous Android radio Erisin 9" NO QLed was much brighter during the day...
[Android Head-Units] Clandaries:
Yes, there is a way to make it brighter and also darker for the night.

I think it was in factory settings. To enter screen brightness settings you have to enter the factory code again.

Then you can set it.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
With factory --- 8888 I can't find the way to increase the brightness compared to the 100% that can be set from the home by lowering the try bar.

The only reference that I find inherent for setup display is this in the photo (which I have never modified, it is set as default).

Please, can you tell me how to do it?
[Android Head-Units] Clandaries:
No. This are the display settings.

Like i said there are settings where you have to use factory code to set brightness beyond 100% and 0%.

Search and you will find
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
You are not very clear. Went back to the old version but we don't know to what version you went. Same with not the last update...

We don't even know where you got the update files and what version...

Would be nice to mention this for other users with newest versions of the unit. That is what this thread is about. Exchanging info. Getting help and giving feedback eg.
[Android Head-Units] Barykelo:
i tried all the firmware and mcu from january to april and always the fan behaves the same. after the start it goes crazy for a while before it calms down.
[Android Head-Units] Bro´:
I apologize, I went back to the FW with which I received the radio on Thursday, the screenshot is on my first post, ie 20230304_121526_v3.48_02. I downloaded the April update from the link in this discussion a few days ago. Is it clearer?
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
In factory-8888 I don't see the possibility to set the brightness of the display.

you can set the brightness from 0 to 100% in home screen, lower the try bar at the top and here after you can set the brightness from 0 to 100% (and with car lights on, set the brightness at night).

I'm talking about the screen where there is BT -- WI-FI -- Reboot unit etc.

Here I have already set it to 100%, but brightness is always low during the day.

If you have S8, please show me with photos where to set brightness from factory-8888, maybe I'm wrong... or maybe there is a SPECIFIC code to type in factory osk, to access a particular menu for display brightness setup (if it is so, what code?)

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Fix applied, work perfectly.

Now I have GPS, Glonass and Galileo!
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Thank you. Updating should have worked as only mcu files differ between the hardware versions. I guess mcu didn't change with the April update.

If you would happen to get even newer firmware from Ossuret please share.

As for the fan spinning fully on boot I think it is normal as there is extra load on the cpu when booting the system. Ounce booted & running short spikes can also be seen when launching an app or navigation e.g. and always returns to idle temp. I also see this with modded fan always on.
[Android Head-Units] Bro´:
but in my case it was spinning without turning off at idle for 30 minutes or more, so I turned it off.

communication with Ossuret on Ali is very difficult.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I know, I got my unit from Ossuret also but in the end they always answer. It the answer is usable I leave that in the middle 😉
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
I've just asked the Ossuret for an update, and they give me a buggy 0408 and old MCU 0207.

I asked them also, is there any way to report the need for software fixes? but no answer

Poorly...
[Android Head-Units] super_paws:
Anyone having battery drain issues? I've turned off sleep mode and the unit is off when the car is off, but there seems to be phantom battery drain that causes the car to have difficulty starting, unless the unit is unplugged.

Car battery is brand new, and no other issues with the starter/alternator.
[Android Head-Units] popamor:
From my reading of the bimmer thread, the animation is a series of pictures. It is like movie frames.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
And we got updated again.

So I have an S4 unit which I updated a while back with the 2611 version shared by @blue_one who has an S8.

Like 30 min ago I went to update to 1612. An as to tempt fate I took files shared by an other S8 owner.

Worked like a charm. First did system/firmware and kept user data and worked smooth.

I even discovered the unit worked with the old 2611 mcu...

But I decided to also update mcu. Also went smooth.

The updates did revert to the standard launcher but that ain't an issue. After checking all my user data had remained.

So fully updated with 1612 firmware & 1612 mcu. Only had to change the launcher back.

Only bummer is that Topal got reînstalled in the process but all my customization stayed, (Google) Assistant as voice, Maps as standard nav, personalised launcher etc etc

I noticed the can app got also updated but unfortunately not with more functionality... Using factory 8888 now frees more system settings than with 2611 and a lot more compared to the 1910 version it was delivered with.

So my updating adventures learn me:

1. DSP version doen't mather in the updating game 2. first update system/firmware, then mcu 3. be sure to use matched files so double check that firmware file and mcu.bin are same version (1910, 2611, 1612...)
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
Can you change the mic volume with the hardware volume keys like mentioned in this thread before?

I can't on my S8 sadly...
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
@blue_one I think it might work for your S8
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
Yea already installed and running 👍🏻
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I just updated without problems. Your first files used were a mismatch, 2812 firmware and 1612 mcu.bin, probably that is why it went bad
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I discovered it while testing with an simple recording app, later on I tried it with Google Assistant and works. Down an recording app and test/try...
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
The System version date and the MCU date aren't always the same. They are often 1 or 2 days apart like when I loade 1126 the MCU had a date of 1125. 2812 and 1612 seem pretty far apart though, I should try again just make sure I didn't mix something up.
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
Tried that but the volume keys only change the speaker volume
[Android Head-Units] b0gdi:
Hello everybody, I have an S5 Ossuret headunit with the latest update 1612 from the seller and having some issues. When the headunit starts from sleep, sometimes (Random) I get no response from the hardware buttons and cannot start any navigation software (waze, google maps) shows black screen, and after a few seconds (30-45) the unit starts to respond and take all the presses for the buttons. Having this issue only when starting from sleep never from cold start. Anybody having a similar issue? Also the sound from android auto after the latest update is choppy if I listen to music and waze (waze sounds choppy) in parallel.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
A

As you refer a lot to Waze & Maps I would think about internet connection issue at startup + weak connection while driving...

What way do you connect to internet? 4G with data sim? Hotspot over phone? Other...?
[Android Head-Units] Telperion:
A few questions:

Has anyone tried joining speaker wire or something similar to the WiFi and Bluetooth antennas to try to improve reception?

Has anyone been successful at getting into recovery to run an update automatically from a USB drive? I've tried tons of variations of hitting the reset button during reboot like tutorials show for similar units, but I can't get this unit to boot into recovery.

I can't seem to get the SIM card adapter to open enough to put a SIM in it. I can flip the outside plastic part open in order to access the SIM slot, and there appears to be a metal latch mechanism which should flip up or otherwise open to allow the SIM to be placed, but I can't figure out how to do that.
[Android Head-Units] Telperion:
Also, after much trial and error with configuration, I managed to get a working "stock" status bar and notification shade. Stock in quotes because it's not exactly stock, it's simulated stock, but it provides proper notifications which is the big thing.

I'm using Super Status Bar to overwrite the default status bar, Material Shade for the notification shade, and Fluid Navigation Gestures to map a swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Recent Apps. Super Status Bar and Material Shade take some work to get them to play nice with each other and you'll need to connect via wireless ADB to allow Material Shade to write secure settings in order to suppress the underlying stock notifications.

Edit: This doesn't play nice with some full screen apps, so I'll need to play around with it some more.
[Android Head-Units] kikegsxr:
Slide the metal part down and then it opens in hinge mode. I have problems with the 4g connection after going to sleep and turning on again I have no data, I have to restart the device
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
Looks like @blue_one has made some head way.
[Android Head-Units] Telperion:
This is all by way of rebooting into the bootloader or recovery from a working system. I'm looking for how to get into recovery from a dead system. Mine isn't, but I'd like to know how to do it before playing around too much in ways that might need a recovery flash.
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
Ah I see. Yeah knowing how to recover an unbootable device would be very good to know especially if we hope to be able root these things. I know that @Vėžys is very interested in figuring this out.

Is it possible there is no bootloader on these devices? Or maybe there are some pads on the PCB you need to short while booting or something.
[Android Head-Units] entoto:
Hello, when it is in automatic mode, the fan should start to rotate at 50 degrees Celsius, above the switch there is a question mark, when you touch it, it gives you that information. My application cannot control anything, only automatic and manual mode, that's all
[Android Head-Units] Telperion:
I can get into both the bootloader and recovery from a working system (adb reboot bootloader, adb reboot recovery) so they both exist. Plus the system updates are being flashed in recovery. Rebooting to recovery with an update.zip in the root of either the internal /sdcard/ or external USB drive doesn't kick off the flash, so there's something more that's required that isn't documented. Recovery shows this message for about 1s then reboots back into system. I tried a bunch of combinations of Rst + powering on / off and couldn't get it to load.

I'm decent at this stuff but I haven't kept up with all the changes to Android over the last few years.
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
Oh yeah that's right, with out a bootloader we wouldn't be able to flash firmware the we have been. Maybe the USB stick with the image needs to be in a particular USB port during boot to trigger recovery.
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
Nope, no problems here. Just check if the unit consumes power in standby with a multimeter.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Hi guys,

I just wanted to let you know that the porting of NavRadio+ on this units is going better than expected.

I already can change frequency, receive RDS data etc.. i can't control the audio focus right now but I'll figure it out sooner or later.

I'd like to ask you some questions:

1. Have you ever seen, on the original app, the RDS text broadcasted by radio stations with song name or other infos? Not the name of the station.

2. How do you set LOC or DX in the original app?

3. Do you think the AF and TA function work well on the original app?

Thank's to anyone who reply ;)
[Android Head-Units] TomZol13:
Hello. I have a s7 and I can't turn on dark theme goggles in maps. I think it was there at first, but after the update it disappeared. Changing the settings to night mode does not work either. on auto settings it is all day even at night.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
1.It's depend on the station, but yes. There is two lines of text, Main (big font) showing the station name, and also the other things like song name etc. And secondary (small font) placed upper the Main. It shows info like news. If you want i can make a video or some pic. to show you what you need.

2. It is just a buttons on main screen. you can only on or off it. Actually there is only main screen and nothing else, no set button, no added menus, etc.

3. Pesonally i didn't test it
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
1. A video is appreciated thx ;)

2. Ok I found the button but on home desk the seek function doesn't find any station with LOC active..
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
ok. i'll make one.

Is there a possibility to add a volume control? Original app give much quieter sound compared to the rest of the app like music player or google maps, etc.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
No problems here but I don't use canbus decoder. I have the unit powered directly. Maybe also test by disconnecting canbus...

Did you dissable sleep mode through the menu settings or with the factory code?

For the rest, to measure is to know.
[Android Head-Units] Lione2:
Same issue
[Android Head-Units] itiswitis:
Same for me. My fan control is set to Auto, and the fan seems to turn on at random. I can barely hear the fan without any music, so just left it as is.
[Android Head-Units] Gyovany96:
Just bought an ELM327 OBD and I can't connect it to HU. From Phone app it won't connect and from Bluetooth settings it won't find it.. How do you guys connected your OBD? Saw some video on YouTube about ToolBox them OBD Match but there's no ToolBox app ( firmware 1404). Please help
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
First i need to get audio out ;)
[Android Head-Units] itiswitis:
Same for me. In fact, the "theme" option in google maps is missing for me. I tried updating the app via google play/sideload apk, still missing theme option. But maps navigation will go into dark mode at night. Maybe try Waze instead?
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
As the threshold is 50°C it will come on quite often. Whenever their is load (booting, app launch...) on the cpu the threshold is allready easily reached so fan should turn on quite often.
[Android Head-Units] x0101222:
@KoTiX2

1. Have you ever seen, on the original app, the RDS text broadcasted by radio stations with song name or other infos? Not the name of the station.

No, only the station name that is updated in real time facing the quality of reception:

Example: the radio name is HITS but it changes during the quality of reception to HxTS - MITS - HI.S - HTTS - etc

2. How do you set LOC or DX in the original app?

It appears a LOC label near the stereo reception after pressing the Antenna icon (5 button from the left) but i still didn´t have a LOC reception available.

3. Do you think the AF and TA function work well on the original app?

No, there isn't any kind of background quality watchdog of the AF frequency, it just jumps in real time broadcast and checks if the new frequency is an alternative one.

It even happens to jump to an AF frequency that in that geographic position is used by a different station and start to be confused checking the rds data to decode the station ID.

My radio in a PX5 model makes the AF pre check before the jump to the new AF avoiding the constant jump that this model does in order to try to find the correct AF alternative.

Regarding the TA I din't yet have the chance to test it.

Thanks!
