Hello guys, I updated bootanimation VW with usb (QF/AUTO) successfully, it booted up with animation but at second boot im stuck on bootanimation… I can barely see VW logo but nothing happens… Unit is working because it connect with my phone (carplay) but I’m stuck on bootanimation. Any ideas to fix? Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Elrathias:
Set sleep timer in settings to something unreasonably long like 99 days.

Unit has VERY low standby power draw, so unless you leave car sitting for weeks its not going to be an issue.

If this doesnt help, you need to ask hizpo/ossuret for help with setting up a script that runs every time the unit wakes up, since it probably is the amplifier dropping the settings on power off - not the head unit.

Hello guys,

How do we get in the recovery mode on Ossuret S4 (for megane 3 if it makes a difference)?

I dont have phisical buttons, only a RST hole which does not work to get into recovery following the youtube tutorials.

Hello guys....

I hope this is not a redundant post. I've already made a search regarding zlink and nothing helpful came up. So my issue is zlink. I can't connect, no matter what I do. I contacted seller and he sent me an (abbreviated) checklist wich I followed to no avail.

I have a huawei p20pro cellphone and it is up to date. I specifically checked that the android auto app is update on both my cell and the HU in the car. I connected the cellphone on the HU's hotspot and the bluetooth is already connected and working normally.

this is the last screen I get and it goes no further. There is absolutely no prompt on my phone to insert a code. After all the bluetooth is already connected and in order to connect it no six digit code is requested.
[Android Head-Units] -fluffy-:
So have normal WiFi turned on an not hotspot
[Android Head-Units] itiswitis:
I know this isn't much help (I've never used a Huawei device), but it looks like you're trying to connect to HiCar. As I understand it, HiCar was Huawei's competition to Android Auto/Carplay, since Huawei does not use google services. Is there a HiCar app/settings on your phone? Have you tried connecting with a USB cable?

LOWW standby power? :DDDDD it have HUUUUGE standby power. Dont know maybe mine is crap it it uses 1AMP and more even with screen off! 1AMP is A LOT! So about 30 hours and battery is dead...you can't start diesel engine if let's say u have 60Ah bat. Whole car at standby uses about 300mA, and this thing alone more than 1000mA. How much mili amps yours draws if you so sure it uses little power?

@v4o4ev i have jeep renegade, and S5 device. My amp also needs to have VOL upped via carAPP [for example when i reinstall it]. but it always stays saved, and i do NOT allow S5 to sleep it always shuts down when car is off. Maybe try changing your car settings in carAPP there is words like "LOW", MID in car model years and so on.. maybe try changing that. Maybe this will make to send correct CAN message to amp.

Chinese may live bazillion years but will never be able to spellcheck their english translations to have correct normal words.
[Android Head-Units] XDC34M:
@afigienas In sleep mode (not just screen off!) it draws like 10mA, maybe 30-60mA max

Seems they can now.

My new FYT Android Head Unit (received 2 days ago) displays SMS on the screen when received by a Bluetooth connected phone (no SIM in the head unit).

It doesn't appear that I can respond/send SMS from the head unit.

Works with any phone that supports the Bluetooth MAP protocol.

My new Eonon unit can revive send SMS by SIM and Call by SIM ! Snapdragon 665 device with HCT MCU like MTCE MTCD

Hi,

do you know how to open the cover of this device? The cover is not assembled by screw bolts so that I don't know how to open it. I want to open it because display suddenly degraded and texts (esp small texts) are hard to be read.

It is a blessing to find this forum. I read all 288 pages and have found no real solution to my problem.

I have a hizpo s8 installed in an Audi TT mk2.

I installed it a few months ago and the installation was simple, but my problem is that the radio never turns off when I remove the key and it has drained my car battery on several occasions.

My only option is always to disconnect the canbus box.

I tried 15935700 but it didn't work, I have read that more users have this problem on the forum but I have not seen that they have achieved the ideal solution.

A car audio specialist tells me that the problem may come from the defective canbus box and try to buy another one, but rather spliced a cable to the key or air conditioning connector.

In other radios I know that there is an option called engineering test debugging and there you can configure the shutdown when you remove the key. Is it still not possible on this radio? Thank you very much to all!
[Android Head-Units] PrinceLc:
Do you have disconnected the little black connector?? It has red and orange wires
[Android Head-Units] chadoe:
Is the acc wire (red) from the radio connected to both the canbusbox and the car? If so then disconnect the acc wire from one of them. It should only be connected to one of the two.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
You are in the wrong thread, it seems to be a whole other HU.

As to open it up, try gently with an prying tool/plectrum between the black bezel and the grey back cover. As you would do for an laptop screen. Could be clipped together. Good luck.

Hello ! I recently purchased Hizpo S6 - I have a question for you. Do you know how to get to the engineer mode? The microphone on this radio works very poorly - callers can't hear me when talking on the phone and I wanted to fix it but I don't know how to do it. Unfortunately, Hizpo support doesn't seem to understand the simplest questions and in response they send things I didn't ask about. I also received a system update from them, which also removed the parking guide lines of the rear-view camera and it cannot be turned on

Do you mean the black one that goes to the canbus connector? What function does it have?

I cut the red cable that goes to the canbus box directly and the radio no longer turned on. I spliced it in and it worked again. I'm attaching a photo so you can see some of the wiring, friend

[Android Head-Units] Barykelo:
For each change from QF01-QF03-QF05, you must first enter the code 774411 and then update the MCU.
[Android Head-Units] Brady1234:
Do a search of this thread. The issue is that the internal mic does not get bypassed when the external mic is plugged in, so they both pickup different noise and merge them. Someone came up with a way to modify the internal mic so that it sounded pretty good.
[Android Head-Units] Karali1:
Thanks for the info! I had an external mirophone for a while but I was afraid it would interfere and now only the internal one. I'll search the forum, maybe I'll find something.
[Android Head-Units] PrinceLc:
You must disable 2 pins on the flat cable for the internal mic to disable it and working only the external
[Android Head-Units] The-Doc:
The internal mic is garbage. It picks up more fan noise than speech. Best option is bypass or remove it and use an external mic.
[Android Head-Units] gusciorag@gmail.com:
Hello All,

first post here, I moved from PX6 device (Hal3k mod) now to Hizpo S8 (8/128) and I'm generally quite happy with this unit in Toyota Rav4 2016 Hybrid.

Although I have a few questions:

1. screen resolution - prevsiously on PX6 I had 1024x600, now in S8 there is 1280x720, what in theory is better, but... now when I start some apps their floating windows are too large (YouTube Revanced) or too small (speed camera warning app). Google Maps are also harder to see - to thin roads, too small fonts, independently what font I have set up in device menu. Is this something that could be fixed, for instance, by changing default system resolution etc?. In developer options I saw "DPI" seeting somewhere, it was set as 720 I think. Also, as somebody wrote here, there is and option to change display resolution using the driver that is on Mega shared for 7862s devices? I checked and there is no guide on how to do it, I'm guessing that this is something that goes beyond my abilities to mod Android internal files via ADB etc.

2. firmware updates - I had firmware version 2023.08.14 installed by Hizpo, couple of days ago I've updated to 2023.10.xx, after reading that this is the safest version. I've done it as "dirty update" without resetting device settings/apps hoping that it would work and indeed, it worked, just had to change some settings, but all the apps were kept. Now, on one of previous pages somebody claims that we must do factory reset when changing from FW 2023 to the newest 2024. Why is that? Is this 'must' advised by Jitsu or it's just 'must' advised by members of this forum? Do you have any bad experience when not resetting to defaults during the update 23>24?

3. screen backlight - it's too dark on 100%, on sunny day it's almost tragedy. I can't see half of the information due to light reflecting from my screen. Is there anyting we can do with it by software adjustments? In Factory menu (8888) there are 2 slider bars allowing to change something, but they don't seem to work. No difference between 0 and 255, no difference between the opposite settings of the other one.
[Android Head-Units] yahyoh:
I tried to update my headunit, but after rebooting into recovery i got error about signature check failed, do you have any suggestions?
[Android Head-Units] yahyoh:
Lmao true, as soon as I get my head unit i disconnected internal mic and used external one.

Tbh im baffled how the hell no android head unit manufacture is using noise cancelling software in 2024, even though the cheapest android phones have it, hell the stock crappy oem headunit from 2013 has noise cancelling software!!
[Android Head-Units] PrinceLc:
Hy change density to 240 by ADB Shell command, Display brightness is Hardware related nothing to do. I went from PX6 to QF001 too and now back to PX6 like Snapdragon 665 device best choice now
[Android Head-Units] DRDSVK11:
There is one more solution, on my Mazda 6 with factory Bose amp I just used splitter on RCA output from radio and spliced it back to stock connector as you did, you will just loose fader option but on the other hand you have passive solution. I did it like this because I dont have the best experience with these high-low converters. One more thing, dont use cheap splitter, after few months I start hearing alternator whine, replacing with high quality (2€ each) cable splitter did the trick.

Anyway, I thought about adding convertor just for back speakers as you did, specifically this SAL unit is also avaliable for me so please let us know if you will have any issues with sound quality later
[Android Head-Units] Elrathias:
i have something like 0.008-0.010A idle draw on the HU, it sounds to me like your harness is wired wrong.

IF you are sure of the wiring, get ahold of a thermal camera and take the rear cover off - you probably have a short on the PCB and 12v 1A should be a huge hotspot on it.
[Android Head-Units] Elrathias:
Can you expand on that? Are you pushing only FRFL from RCA to the amp via a pass through, instead of the FR+-FL+- from the HU socket? i thought these units only had FRFL on low level output, using a common ground return.
[Android Head-Units] theAtotheG:
They say that, but it doesn’t seem to actually work like that. If it does, the external mic is just as bad as the internal one.

I haven’t found any setting either to adjust the mic volume.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
It does change default, you can easily test that with an recording app.

I found out I can change mic volume with physical volume knob while the mic is active but have to crank it up from e.g 11-12 to like 27-28 (nearly max) to make a small difference.

So also looked for hidden android (system) mic sensitivity settings but whitout any luck so far...
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
@blue_one as you have more android tech experience did you test if the unit has hidden engeneering mode? mic sensiitivity settings could be in there

I haven't found anything useful yet but I'm also not satisfied with the microphone level so I will keep searching.
[Android Head-Units] machervi:
I have solved the microphone problem by connecting another external one via usb, although it only works well with carplay.

I have a question, how do you remove the S8 device from an audi a3 8p without breaking it?

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
You will have to go on a Audi (A3) forum & youtube to find how to dissassemble the center console. Search on "aftermarket radio installation" or such. Can be similar to same generation Golf though...
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
How did you prevent that android detect your usb microphone as headset and mute the loudspeakers?
[Android Head-Units] janolelapin:
To remove the S8 from Audi A3, you have tu use two thin plastic triangles Slide one on each side between the unit and the dashboard.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
In fact, I didn't know what model HU it was, my VW model doesn't have an mounting frame, bolts directly on the center console...
[Android Head-Units] popamor:
As for changing the default launcher, make sure that you have updated the firmware and MCU to at least the November release. My S5 was the same until I updated my September firmware.
[Android Head-Units] DGTheJoker:
Hi good people,

I have the S4 version (Ossuret) for VW. I have a fan connected that came with the unit however it seems it's still getting pretty hot. What are the normal temperatures for these head units? and what temperatures are you guys getting? I sometimes get 60 - 70 celsius.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Max643:
Thank you I tried it and working 😊. Do you also know if is possible to change boot animation?
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
I haven't tried that myself but I think there was a discussion about that inside this thread.
[Android Head-Units] machervi:
I have connected the microphone and while I have used a normal call the other person did not listen but when connecting the carplay it has started to work.

This is the device that I bought.

[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Thx for sharing. What unit do you have? S1-S4 or S5-S8?
[Android Head-Units] theAtotheG:
I tried a USB headset just a little bit ago. I mainly use CarPlay. The music was coming through the USB headset and not the car speakers. I placed a test call and the microphone worked perfectly and the person in the other end said the quality was much better. Interestingly, the call was routed through the car speakers and not the headset.

If there was a way to get the USB microphone to route all of the sound through the speakers and just be recognized as a microphone it would be the perfect solution for the poor microphone quality in these units.
[Android Head-Units] DRDSVK11:
Sure, I will try to write to be understandable :D

Radio has just two passive (low) outputs, LEFT and RIGHT, but not front/rear, so I just connected splitter on them to have FL+RL and FR+RR and I just spliced those to radio wiring

As I wrote before, those black splitters were junk, so I later replaced them with these:

It is the same thing just less garbage, alternator whine was gone.

Hope pictures are clear enough. Only low side on this solution is no fader but, I dont need this feature at all in my application
[Android Head-Units] Elrathias:
Thanks for the tip on the line converter, ordering one of those now since im going mad with the hiss (have same bose amp/mazda combo)
[Android Head-Units] DRDSVK11:
I feel your pain. Hope this will solve it for you. Now I have clear sound, no hiss, no whining.

And after installation of January FW and last QF03 MCU I think also controlling the volume is better on low volume, before jump between low volumes was too big, level 1 was unhearable, level 2 already too loud when you tried to have any conversation at low speeds. Maybe this will also help to someone with volume issues.

I know you can set lower overall volume in factory settings but that lowered overall volume too much for me even at just -3dB
[Android Head-Units] Elrathias:
highly recommend you turn off the speed-compensated volume function ("close" since that just adds a multiplying factor to the pre-dsp sound output that made the steps horrible.

Currently running the stereo on -15dB and -5 on all dsp settings so i can actually use volume up to about 12-13...
[Android Head-Units] Brady1234:
I tried every combo of sound adjustment possible (-15db, speed volume off, lowered EQ bands, etc) and could not get a comfortable volume range or get rid of the hiss. I was hoping not to have to alter the wiring, but ultimately the LOC was a 20 minute, $10 solution that fixed all of my issues. Volume range is appropriate, sound quality is good.

The one thing I had to do was increase the bass boost a little bit because my sound was flat. My suspicion is that the lowered output levels knocked down the bass to where the amp did not control it as well. But moving the bass up just a hair on the front and rear speakers seems to have fixed it. Sound is now better than the stock Bose HU.

My only real complaint now is how terrible the FM radio is. Reception is average at best, but the text display seems to either be running through a translator or has no error correction because most of the time it is a jumble of letters. May look into the NavRadio app. Or maybe there is a firmware update that improves the radio. Trying to avoid messing with firmware seeing how many have had issues afterwards.
[Android Head-Units] DRDSVK11:
Speed compensation was first thing I turned off, don't worry. I had it now at 0dB and DSP set to Pop or something and volume levels are ok

I don't know for how long you are using it like this but you can destroy you Amp like this and I am amazed it didn't already happend. You should change it to passive output as fast as you can.
[Android Head-Units] Elrathias:
Almost 2 years now. If the amp dies, it dies - no big loss all things considered.
[Android Head-Units] yahyoh:
I had some issues with flat sound (kinda) even with bass boost, where some bass notes sounds very loud and some sound very low, till I played with the EQ q setting and changed the low bass ones from 2 to 5 and holy f, the bass sounds full and punchy 👌, I did the same for highs and it sounded much much better.

Hello everyone, I'm writing because I purchased a "Hizpo S4 8Core 4G 32G" car radio from Aliexpress but as soon as it arrived mounted in the car the display remains black, only the backlighting can be seen turning on and changing intensity. Randomly pressing on the screen sometimes some of the music and also changes the track and the side buttons work fine. I point this out to the company and after having me connect the display directly to the board (they had to go to a technician and even spend some money on it) they tell me that the problem is the display. They send me a new screen, I try it but the problem persists. I had the voltages checked... Do you have any solution to this problem? Please help me, thanks 🙏🏻
