[Android Head-Units] RightIsWrong757:
Are their any custom ROMs for these head units that will allow more customization? I actually like the look of the stock, but would like to just tweak it a little without a mass overhaul. Some of the other launchers that I've looked at allow for the customization, but don't look like they can replicate the look/feel of the stock.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
So far, there's no custom rom
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
Ah i´ve got you wrong first. I thought you would like to use your headunit as a hotspot. Therefore you can switch between 2.4G and 5G inside the hidden android settings. For your case my experience is that the headunit needs more time to discover 5G networks. I always see 2.4G networks first and after some time i can see my 5G network too. Maybe its because of that rubbish cable antenne thingie...
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Thx, will try that. Funny thing is when connecting to home wifi it is the other way around. HU only sees and connects to my 5 Ghz SSID, my 2,4 Ghz SSID it doesn't detect. My home wifi is split into 2 bands but I do not have a repeater outside (yet)...

But also this can be blamed on the poor antenna thingie I guess.
[Android Head-Units] lefterisa3:
New firmware..

The system firmware link：

https://jitufirmware20230109.oss-eu-central-1.aliyuncs.com/update.zip

Updated my s8 successfully.

Unfortunately there is no change log so i cant tell what the differences are
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I took the liberty to put the release notes (change logs) that came with 1126 & 0104 major updates in txt files. I did it to keep copy's off the release notes (changes logs) offline for quick reference.

These release notes are translated from chinese by Google (thx @blue_one) so be a critical reader...

Some issues can be fixed by updating firmware but keep well aware that updating is always at your own risk !! If in doubt wait until you get the update file(s) and instructions by your vendor and stick to that (cf. warranty and such)

FIRMWARE FILES SEEM COMPATIBLE FOR ALL 8 VERSIONS OF THE UNIT BUT MCU FILES DIFFER. MCU VERSIONS FOR S1...S4 END IN 011021, FOR S5...S8 MCU VERSIONS END IN 002121

Personnally I'm wondering what this would mean:

"2023-01-04 update record:

1. Solve the problem that some machines fail to upgrade"

OTA upgrade functionality fix? An S8 owner who got this version from the vendor can confirm this?

"2022-12-25 update record:

1. Solve the problem of differential upgrade failure"

Differential upgrade like in firmware & mcu being different versions? A bit confusing as my vendor just sent me links for 1228 fw & 1216 mcu but I guess 1228 allready has this fix...
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Release notes come with major updates...
[Android Head-Units] lefterisa3:
So this is not a "system" update?

You mean mcu updates?
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
These "sytem" updates update as well firmware & mcu (same version numbers) at once and I've noticed these have release notes (change logs). Also update procedure is different. Maybe I should call them "major" updates 🤔...
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
As you are an S8 owner can you confirm if OTA is (finally) working? And which is your mcu version working with this new 0109 firmware? Screenshot maybe?
[Android Head-Units] lefterisa3:
Ota still seems to do nothing when pressed..

Mcu is 3/01/2023

( dont have the version handy) is the one i posted some days back from Mickey mouse site.

Will screenshot later as for now i am trying to remove rear fan noise transfered to the internal mic.

Will either go with a 5v fan powered from usb+5 or with vibration mod (rubber o rings etc.) On the oem fan.

Just noticed that the rear fan screen or shield is pressing on the fan centre witch is a bad thing as it brakes the fan rpm heat it up and finally burn it.

For the moment i noticed that the imternal mic is way better than pluging in the external as the mic volume this way goes WAY too low.

In the end i will end up desoldering the oem mic and finish that joke.

But i am trying to keep my hands off it as long possible

Will post results when finished.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
thx, I must have missed that post...
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
@lefterisa3 Found it, you got update 0104 from Mikey Mouse server so mcu must be 0104? with latest firmware 0109
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
This is the post I'm referring to. The actual firmware file is a few posts before this.
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
I have tried a number of different launchers on the latest firmware and they all seems to work properly. Default apps (Car Setting, DSP, Car APP, etc.) all load properly. FYI.
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
A 5v fan could be just as noisy as the existing fan. You might be able to use a low noise adapter or an adjustable voltage regulator to slow the fan down a little.
[Android Head-Units] janolelapin:
Hi Guys,

I just received the january firmware update for the "QF001 (ROCO K706) Head Units with UIS 7862s":

Update.zip:

https://jitufirmware20230109.oss-eu-central-1.aliyuncs.com/update.zip

mcu:

https://jitu321077708mcu20230103.oss-eu-central-1.aliyuncs.com/mcu.bin

If someone is interested.............................!
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
So that is for S5,S6,S7,S8 units?

You guys get all the best stuff.
[Android Head-Units] popamor:
For the fan shield touching the fan and causing heat issues and burning the fan out, I actually did not install the shield, since my unit is inside the clamshell. But I still hate the whirling noise that comes from it as it is always running at full speed.

I like your idea of adding rubber o rings and so on.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I think we will get them too finally but with some delay ounce updates have been rolled out and proven stable on the flagship models with much bigger headroom.

But as we did not buy flagship models we will have to beg and nag for it I guess...
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I initially had my OEM mic connected externally, didn't seem to work unfortunately and I skipped trying the external mic. Internal mic works well for voice commands, calling not really tested yet, I expect degradation as it requires bluetooth connection with the phone on top off wifi connection. Imo allready too much interference for something as sensible as a basic mic.
[Android Head-Units] lefterisa3:
So.. i ended up moding the internal mic and not disconnecting it (desolder..)

I found some interesting findings...

There was a HUGE gap from where the mic is siting to the hole on the front unit lid

I used some tube and gave a nice opening in the front to slightly 📢

I then stuffed the gaps around the mic with closed cell foam..

I remember someone spoke about the buttons having a cheap feel...

There are 2 switch per button!!

Thats why if you press harder sometimes clicks twice..

The ribbon that connects the mic and the front face commands was touching on the amp chip when the unit is closed..

Rerouted it and secured with capton tape..

Fingers crossed will check later what and if all that made a difference
[Android Head-Units] ptuchik:
Hi everyone, is your CanMcu is also empty and CanBox version - None in CarApp, or something is wrong with mine?
[Android Head-Units] ashrambo:
If you have a canbus connected you will see "canmcu info" in "about" menu...something like this:
[Android Head-Units] ptuchik:
Mine is this CanBox:

The steering wheel controls, headlights and open door detection work, but the version is not shown:

Do you know what can I do to fix this?
[Android Head-Units] ScorpionSX:
Some of the CanBus boxes simply don't show the version info. I have no idea why, the box that Ingot with my S5 unit was from HiWorld, that didn't show anything, I then got a new one from Raise and that one is showing the version and also offers much more information from the car to the unit and vice versa. I also tested SimpleSoft, but right now I don't remember if it was showing any info or not. It was also working fine though, but also with only minimal communication with the car, only reverse camera and steering wheel controls.

With Raise box, I can get door open notification and also radio station frequency and track number on the instrument cluster. I have manual AC, but I believe that with auto AC I could also get that on the stereo display.

My car is 2005 Ford Focus mk2, the EU model.
[Android Head-Units] ptuchik:
Thanks for the information
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Even with BMW cars it shows the canbus version info section empty...probably with BMW and Mercedes, if you use canbus adapter by LZ, they do this...

With BMW cars not have via canbus any AC control with radio.
[Android Head-Units] ptuchik:
Is anyone facing this issue after QF001.20231110.185622 update? I want to understand if it is hardware issue, battery or software thing. I read in some places about Android devices in General and found out that on some devices the Automatic Brightness or HW overlay may cause such behaviour, but I want to check with you if it can be related to K706 devices as well?

P. S. Here is the Video on Youtube:
[Android Head-Units] chadoe:
Do you have a type number for the Raise box or a link? The Hiworld box does nothing in my 2008 Focus, thanks.
[Android Head-Units] ifeket663:
I ordered an Ossuret S5 Head Unit (7 inch, 4+64 Gbytes). Yesterday arrived, I tried with a 12V lead acid battery. The screen is flickering from time of booting, after a few minutes the vibration decreases, but never stops completely. Once I had the device go into recovery mode and then restart after a few seconds. I can't say what firmware version the device has, I have written to the seller, I am waiting for his reply.

Maybe any ideas? Thanks for help!
[Android Head-Units] ScorpionSX:
This is the exact one that I have, you can see even my feedback there, with a picture of the S5 unit (the oval stereo, there are two photos there): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003931122006.html

The first picture that was there was the reason that I bought it, it is a 2006 C-Max, basically the same car electronic-wise, and it showed the door opened alert on screen. I never saw that before on Focus, so I had to test it. I purchased the full package, cable and the box just to be sure and they even included a mini-USB connector for the back of the unit which connects nicely to those USB panels that are available for the climate control panel below the stereo. So win-win-win :)

And yeah, the HiWorld is crap, for some cars it's maybe ok, but in Focus it really didn't do much...maybe some newer version, but I didn't want to risk it.
[Android Head-Units] ifeket663:
After 10 minute working (the CPU temperature approxx 40 degree of celsius), the flickering was stopped...

Finally I can check the version. Need any update? Worth?
[Android Head-Units] sniclman:
omg... maybe you should look at the backside of your unit before you silly ask. Backside of unit is from metal. This metal case is used as a cooler. So you connecting CPU with metal case. Between metal case and CPU is 1-3mm gap.
[Android Head-Units] ashrambo:
You could try to select "raise canbus" in the car radio. I have a "simplesoft canbus" but the seller said my that I set up "raise (RZ)" and my model car in the radio car to more compatibility
[Android Head-Units] tmihai20:
Is anyone using USB drives with their units? I just noticed that I cannot use any file explorer app besides the preinstalled one that is very limited and kind of rudimentary. There is something missing from the OS.
[Android Head-Units] ptuchik:
Anyone?
[Android Head-Units] roxter22:
radio s8 does anyone else have dashes jumping on the screen like mine? where is the problem?
[Android Head-Units] :
Hello. I need help. Because my device stopped working. I have hizpo s8. My device turns itself on and off all the time. It keeps restarting all the time. Nothing can be done. When I wrote to the seller about the problem, he sent me the file for the latest update 2023.11.10. I managed to install it but it didn't help. it keeps restarting over and over again. Sorry for the sound 😉

Try to use without sim card.

Screen driver conflict.

Thats interesting, can I buy a new Canbus on my own?
[Android Head-Units] Astralech:
Why wouldn't you buy one? You have a variety of companies to choose from. I have Hiworld and Raise. Hiworld with a loudspeaker and the sounds are like those on the original radio. Raise has more display options, but it has a buzzer and you can barely hear it.
[Android Head-Units] meha576:
Hello, I'm writing for the first time with google translator. A few days ago I ordered the strongest S8 from the OSSURET store and the device is on its way. I'm asking someone who has experience with this device to give me their opinion and experiences with this device. Also if I'm okay understood, the device should update itself when other experiences with the built-in radio chip appear, is it better than some of the weaker devices
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Read better... all the information you ask for is present in the thread.

Updates are only via USB pen drive.

S8 is the "top" of these radios.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
you have 221 pages in this thread, when we talking about you asking now, so.... read :)

No. it's not selfupdating device. You have to do this on your onw, and basically you have to ask your seller for the soft everytime, or you can go to dedicated thread here

[Android Head-Units] wanxu:
Hello! After many years with an old Android HeadUnit I just purchased this one (S2 4GB/32GB in my case) and I have some comments and doubts I'd like to share:

The unit is pretty fast. I felt opening apps and moving through the system is quick enough

The boot time though is slow. I expected a 10 years newer unit than my old one to boot faster. Not sure if there are tuning and optimization that can be applied but I was a little bit dissapointed here

Audio quality is very good. I had 3 or 4 units before this one and maybe it's just a feeling, but I felt the sound quality is pretty good with even the DSP in flat. The volume is awful though, I'd like to have better sensitivity, let's say that a comfortable level comprises 5 levels. Maybe this can be tuned because I feel one button press is too much difference in level.

Very happy music apps are integrated in the launcher. The unit comes with Spotify and it works from the launcher but it crashed a couple of times, I hope it is not a problem if I install a newer version, isn't it?

The resolution is very good, 1024 x 720 it says, not sure if that's real.

It comes with IGO installed with many maps but from 2017. I'll do a cleanup and update and just leave the new ones for my country.

It comes with System Version QF001.20230824.202940_v2.69_02 and MCU QF03.V01.05.20230617.001121. I need to investigate if those are good versions or if it's better to upgrade. I've asked the seller for latest versions.

I have not yet set up my Google Play account. In my old unit it was better not to set it up so less apps were loaded on boot.

Happy to be on this boat!
[Android Head-Units] Barykelo:
Hello. Has anyone solved the problem with night mode not working in Google Maps?
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
First of all you purchased S2, the less powerful version, different CPU, and with relatively little RAM on board.

If you bought S8/8GB/128GB you would have had better results, more performance, a better boot, even if it will NEVER be a "rifle shot" cold boot with Android system, with any unit, even other than Sx units.

Read the thread for more useful information regarding these units...
[Android Head-Units] roxter22:
dokładnie, pomyliłem się, początkowo zamówiłem radio S2/oddałem sprzedawcy, zamówiłem S8, jestem zadowolony. DSP działa jak należy, tuner IC jest w porządku. Ładnie odbiera fale radiowe. więc gdybym miał go komukolwiek polecić, byłyby to modele od S5 do S8

Mod Edit: English Translation Below

exactly, I made a mistake, I initially ordered an S2 radio/gave it back to the seller, I ordered an S8, I'm satisfied. DSP works as it should, tuner IC is fine. It receives radio waves nicely. so if I were to recommend it to anyone, it would be the S5 to S8 models
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
I have set it in auto. After that google, by GPS, set the night mode when it dusk

So far here's no way to set it by HU mode
[Android Head-Units] itiswitis:
Works fine for me now. The "Theme" option appeared in Google Maps a few weeks ago. I now have option to set "Same as device theme" and maps switches to night mode whenever the head unit switches to dark mode (on headlight or manually). Maybe update Google Apps from Play store?
[Android Head-Units] zadam00:

Has anyone ever found a way of exporting the currently installed firmware and MCU?

45645600 'says' it is dumping the MCU file but nothing appears on USB or internal storage that I can see, and no code has so far been shared for dumping the FW.

The ability to export would be very useful for backup while testing other versions as all online postings of the various versions seem to be available for only a few days so if you miss the short window it comes down to hoping someone has saved them and will share
[Android Head-Units] snaker12:
For a very long time i used the QF01.v01.73 20230207.002121 and everything worked fine. For no reason the last 2 months at random times i lose the radio audio and in order to have audio again i must flash the mcu file in order to make it work again. My last hope is to flash a previous version of the mcu as i think that this is the last verison of the qf01 mcu file. Anything you have will help. Thanks!

I have also been using Car Launcher Pro for some time, it works perfectly with S8 (native all QF01) , I am satisfied with this launcher.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
I remember that someone had written many posts back a link for the QF01 MCU prior to 0207... in any case this MCU for all native QF01 has been working with me for months, and I have never had any problems.

Maybe it's your current QF01 firmware that's causing you problems, and not the MCU... I would leave 0207 as the MCU for all native S5/S8 QF01 units.

There will never be any new releases after this one for the QF01 MCU.
[Android Head-Units] tmihai20:
I bought Car Launcher Pro yesterday. How are you using the launcher? I don't think there is a way to make it default, I checked it today.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
I run Car Laucher pro manually, assigning a specific phisical button to my steering wheel (I don't like automatic loading) but if I'm not mistaken, it is possible to select it as the default launcher.

Try in main settings/theme and select Car launcher from there (I honestly haven't tried to do this).

That is worth trying. I guess I still have to customize Car Launcher, it has a lot of customization and I barely went through it. Thank you for replying.

Hello everybody!

I have a 2006 Passat B6 that came with an rcd300 radio.

I bought the S5 main unit and already installed it for myself 5 stars without any problems I've seen here...

I've already read practically 220 pages 😅.

I don't know if I missed something, but I don't receive information from the parking sensors or information from the AC control, I have already configured the car(rise/VW/Passat/05-11)

I have already installed the latest firmware and MCU shared here and I also cannot pair 2 smartphones at the same time. Can you give me any suggestions? 🤔

Thanks 👍
[Android Head-Units] Mr.TT_NZ:
Have you turned on 'enable dual bluetooth' which is item 42 in the 8888 menu on the November firmware? There is also code 20231006 which may do the same thing.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
Have you choose a right canbus? With internet connection enabled

If so, the go to canbus settings, you should have added app i main menu, and there look for the specific option there
[Android Head-Units] ashrambo:
Do you have this info before? I am sure that RCD300 doesnt have this option. But you maybe can activate it:

You need a compatible GATEWAY: model XXX 919 475 B or later...

You need ese the vagcom cable and activate the option:

You are right. But a general problem for me for example (maybe for others too) is that the search-function for within threads doesn't work really. When looking for special questions I always get a lot of results from many other themes...

Hello guys, I have the S5 unit with wireless Carplay, do you know if it's possible to get it worked wired as well? Is it some license issue with the Zlink app, or is it HW related? Reason why I'm asking is, that I had it wired/wireless on my previous unit and the wired connection simply worked better, wireless sometimes has a small drop in connection.

Thanks.
