I purchased an S8 (mazda 2 facia) from the Hizpo choice store on Aliexpress almost 2 weeks ago and it is still waiting to be shipped, how has everyone found Hizpo for shipping?

Any known reasons for delays?

Do they test each unit or upgrade firmware before shipping?
[Android Head-Units] Ziutx:
Thanks for the reply.

You're right about the antenna, it's as if it doesn't work at all - disconnecting it doesn't make any difference.

As for the screen issues, the seller didn't provide any solutions yet, they're definitely stalling for time with their replies until 15 days pass and I can't open a dispute.

How could I get the iso cable with canbus control unit for Fiat Punto Evo? I have the universal model S8 pull out stereo @blue_one
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Purchased 7 months ago from Hizpo S8 by offcial Ali store.

Arrived at my home (Italy) in 7 days without problems, assistance always answers questions (even if the technicians competence is not the best) but I am satisfied with the seller.

For Europe they ship from their warehouses in Poland (if I remember correctly) not directly from China.

The HU is checked in the factory, then packed and sent to the various warehouses, and from there there is no other software control (update etc.).

Have you tried to contact them and ask for explanations?
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Still no new major update it seems... but on the other hand, unit runs cool & flawless for months so why bother. Though would be nice if an update could fix the leak in my AC circuit lines 🫣🙃 saving me potential hundreds of euros in repair costs. Or am I being unrealistic lol.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
At least for you AC climatic control works via HU...with BMW canbus instead nothing! :mad:
[Android Head-Units] balkanera:
Anybody know to synchron the analog clock from Mercedes with HU? Normally command radio synch the clock via canbus… other china radio before do it also.. but in this case I dont know to activate this?
[Android Head-Units] xdsbx:
Did you found out how to fix this issue with mute?
[Android Head-Units] MarcelloR92:
Does this cable fit my universal S8?

Https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwxD0Sf
[Android Head-Units] xdsbx:
Yesterday fixed the "mute" iasue. I flashed the old mcu and old firmware from dec 2022, did full whipe. Than flashed the newest firmware and still use the old mcu. Everythig works ..

I have a BD32107 and radio IC is TSC4745.
[Android Head-Units] chadoe:
This doesn't work on my Ford either. I asked the seller (ossuret) and he said this is not supported by my canbus box but I'm not sure if he was just trying to get rid of me, seems like a basic function and my old radio could do it.
[Android Head-Units] patsh:
My seller sent me a link and it's version 508 for some reason.

Think I'm safe to install 614?
[Android Head-Units] mk148a:
Can you able to share screenshoot of your mcu and firmware version
[Android Head-Units] Ziutx:
Yes, it looks like it's a bug in the newest firmware, I tried to flash it again and then immediately full reset with 22558800 code but it didn't help, I just live with it now, I hope they release an update that fixes it in the future.

For my screen issues I removed sim card from the slot and with 4G connection disabled it seems to work fine, but I didn't have much time to test.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
No one know this for sure. This units behave what they want. For many of us (including me) the 0614 is pretty good
[Android Head-Units] furby2007:
I have a problem with my S8 unit.

The menu, phone, back, navi, music, mode, band and set keys no longer work. I can only use the touch screen controls. I even tried a factory reset but no effect.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Low brightness, during the day, of these HU:

we have already talked about it but ... even setting brightness to 100%, acting on PWM settings etc. does not solve low brightness.

Has anyone found, for example, a secret code to eventually act somewhere to remedy this problem?

During the day, with direct sun light on the display, it's almost impossible to see what's going on!

edit:

to add also the anti glare film (totally fake) of these HU, which create a mirror effect during the day, increasing the problem.
[Android Head-Units] lontrish:
Hi everyone, I was wondering if its possible to change the volume scale?

I have it on volume level 1 or 2 by default because it's either too loud or too quiet. And if it's possible to change volume levels based on the app?

Been reading through the thread but I didn't see what I was searching for except some fixes to some other issues I had with the S8 from Hizpo.

On another note, is it possible to use a USB volume knob to control volume? I bought one since I heard it worked for other HU but had no luck.

Thanks and really appreciate the help!
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
have you tried a Settings > Factory > 8888 ok > loudness (or something like that) where you can go to -15db
[Android Head-Units] divxdvd:
I have Bose audio in my Sierra and I did set it to -15db and volume 1 is still too loud to hold a conversation with music as background noise. If it went down to -30db I feel like it would be better
[Android Head-Units] ImBenny:
It is because new phones shares 5Ghz WiFi at channel 149 and the head unit can't see that high. I think it can get channel 100 max.
[Android Head-Units] Ziutx:
I got a message back from the seller regarding screen issue I described in my post on page 155 of this thread. The seller told me to access factory settings with code 8888, then display settings and set the following values VCOM:72,AVDD PWM:220. I tried these driving home today and I didn't notice screen showing black lines anymore, I will keep an eye out to see if the issue is really gone. Maybe someone with similar issue will find this useful.
[Android Head-Units] itiswitis:
I don't have a Bose system, but default volume 1 is too loud for me as well. I'm using custom DSP curve/settings to lower the volumes.

Bose systems typically have a separate amplifier and it'll need some kind of adapter, there's been discussions about "bose" in this thread.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
With display settings VCOM:72 and AVDD PWM:220 did you notice a total increase in the brightness of the display or does it not change compared to before, if set to the max value (100%)?

Strange though that the seller gave you these values...

As default we have: VCOM:180,AVDD PWM:86

See my picture (S8 HU)
[Android Head-Units] hojnikb:
Did anyone else had an issue of their unit completly failing ? Mine worked fine up until today, when it refused to boot up.

Mine is the 4GB/64GB version.

After dissasambling the unit, there doesn't seem to be any obvious issues. 15Amp fuse was intact. But unit draws absolutly no power (0,00A draw on my bench psu) other than a brief spike to ~0,5A for a split second (maybe a capacitor charging up?).
[Android Head-Units] Astralech:
Punto

Here is to Punto. There is a different Canbox number as in your link.
[Android Head-Units] MarcelloR92:
They told me to buy to buy this which is compatible with Point:

[Android Head-Units] divxdvd:
I owe you a virtual coffee. I lowered the dsp flat across and now I love this radio again!!!! Thanks again!
[Android Head-Units] Ziutx:
I didn't notice much change in brightness, if any. Increasing AVDD only makes the colours darker on my unit.
[Android Head-Units] Clandaries:
My FYT head unit has some extra brightness settings where you have to use a password and thn you can go until 0. Then it is off. I have set it to 25.

Maybe those settings are hiding somewhere.

I have to go to setting - factory (password) - backlight current adjustment (password)
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
Just a little bit OT. Do you think this FYT HU is better or worse as ours HU. Personally i have almost enough this unit, so i'm thinking in what replace it
[Android Head-Units] Clandaries:
I dont want to say more than, i sold the Hizpo S8 very fast again...
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Well...we need to look for these "hidden" backlight settings suitable for these HUs...but we don't know the secret code to access (if it exists, I think so, the main backlight parameters can almost certainly be changed via sw).

With factory-8888 there is no entry to act on the "secret setup" backligt.

With AVDD and PWM don't act directly on these secret backlight settings.

Who finds how to act for this please write here...
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
FYT HU...

The displays are better, with direct sunlight during the day they are better (at least the ones I've seen, 10.25" display).

Sx HU are built quite well, but have very little visibility during the day, with direct sun light indeed VERY bad ... and everything is useless if this factor is prevalent!

edit:

Before this S8 I also had Android10 display 9" HU by Erisin.

Different hardware, much lighter than Sx ... but the display was TOP, very visible in all conditions, day and night.
[Android Head-Units] Korrozyf:
I saw similar lines few days ago. Wasn't expecting a fix. Will definetly test this! Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] AlienTekOriginal:
I need help, I can't get a GPS fix on my S8.

Antenna or not the precision does not improve..
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
dead antenna? have you tried another one
[Android Head-Units] AlienTekOriginal:
They only send 1 sadly
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
My first thought was, broken antenna. So maybe you have a way to check it with some other antenna. They are cheap, but there's no point to buying it if there's something wrong with the unit
[Android Head-Units] AlienTekOriginal:
Found the issue, antenna was shorted to ground, resoldered and fixed!

Where did you get firmware 20230615? The site has only 20230614 and I can’t install it, during installation it says that the name of the firmware matches the name of the installed firmware and writes an error. I'm thinking of trying to install the old firmware, change the name to install after the latest one.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
in autofather, the link file name is 20230614, but when you'll install it, in system info you see 20230615. I think it was a just small correction of firmware because, at first it was with checksum error
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
I have now when loading checksum error. Where did you get the file without error?
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
from wel known source https://autofather.com/s_sjjc

i did the upgrade 0614 and got checksum error, but couple days later i did it again with 0614 (with correction 0615) and there was no checksum error
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
I downloaded it again today and it still says the error

Will rolling back the system help to change the error with the name, maybe the name will change?
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
Hi, does anyone know how to record the reverse camera?
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
NEVER change the name or anything else of the update files!

Just install...

0614: disable checksum and after install it work correctly (at least, it works fine for me).
[Android Head-Units] Fugojbc:
Hello,

I have a few questions... I had an older Hizpo with dvd and now I bought an S8 8Gb/128Gb. The system in the S8 seems to me to be worse for the user than in the old Hizpo, for example, when it plays FM and the GPS starts talking and I want to adjust the volume of the GPS, so after the GPS report ends, the FM volume also changes, the old Hizpo, if the GPS spoke, I could only control the volume with the volume gps...

Is this fixable with an upgrade or will I just have to live with it? You can get used to everything :-) Oh, and one more thing... You can't connect to the BT OBD adapter via BT even if the PIN is correct, usually the OBD adapter doesn't even see the BT, but the phone sees it normally... Google translator.
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
Thank you. I turned off the check and everything worked)
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Are you talking about the type of rear camera (PAL\NTSC\AHD etc.)?

If this, go to the main settings of the HU, see the back camera section (I don't remember the right name...), or the same thing, act with: factory setting - 8888 code, and you will also find there a section dedicated to the rear camera.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Use Igo Israel offline app as Navi if you don't want to have problems with audio volume mix\GPS voice messages.

OBD: we have already written how to act...read the old posts.

OBD works for me...I explained many times as I did,just search...
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
okkkkkkk ;)
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
Yea but that is not what i mean. The rear view camera works as intended but i want to record that stream like the dvr app records the front camera. The 360 degree app can do that but it needs a separate hardware chip if i got it right.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
S8 "should" be able to handle 360° cameras, but honestly I don't have these and I can't confirm if it's true.

I don't think it's possible to record what the rear camera frames.

Instead it is possible to record video with dashcam (requires additional hardware dashcamera via USB and special app, which I use and it works) but that's another story...
[Android Head-Units] chadoe:
I want this too. It was the first I did when the nav started talking and was surprised it also changed the radio volume.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
in settings there is a navi remix, or so, set the bar to 100% and the navigation messages won't turn volume down the rest of apps. Unfortunately in this unit, it is only way to control this, at least until now.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
The "Navi mixed" volume setup should handle the audio stream of the audio player and radio, at least that's how it works for me.
[Android Head-Units] Baban2013:
The device turns off and on every ten minutes.Reboot !!?
[Android Head-Units] xdsbx:
Try first to reset it. Settings>More >Fabrik> 22558800

Than install the latest Firmware
[Android Head-Units] Baban2013:
Thanks, I tried that too, but it didn't work same problems .Firmware 15.06.2013
[Android Head-Units] xdsbx:
Than you should write to your dealer where you bought that radio. its a hardware iasue.

[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Your radio probably has hardware problems, it's defective... contact the seller for an immediate replacement or refund, don't act alone without criteria, the seller could tell you that it was you who did the damage and not solve the problem, at HIS expense.

Hi I need help.

bought version 64gb with 4gb ram , and oryginaly it was loaded with old version FW and MCU , but I think after update I started having problem with sound. i randomly stops playing all sounds, radio media files, sounds just disappear and then after couple minutes it sounds ok again, and then again it stopps... i dont think i had thas issue before update to newest version but can not say its update for sure.... I already tried factory reset, clear all data, tried selectin decode media files with soft but it doesnt make any difference.... any idea what should I try? i was thinking of putting old MCU but can not find it anywhere anymore... my car is Honda CRV 2013 . I bought this device second hand so unable to contact seller for files... apriiate any help. thx

here are my version (old before update and the newest)
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Thx, the pigtail I allready planned using it to power an double fakra to din FM amp when it arrives... I like listening to FM and want to use the on board VW diversity antenna's in stead of 1 amplified antenna to have best reception.

Didn't notice that control switch option but as the connector sits with all the rca's and stuff makes more sense...

Maybe gonna leave my fan disconnected
[Android Head-Units] entoto:
The download is disabled due to reaching the limit
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
The ANT (G6) wire is meant for power antennas. It should only come on when the radio is on but who knows with these units. I bought a Fakra adapter like pictured in the Ali Express listing and it doesn't quite fit the connector in my MK6 Golf FYI. I expect it can be modified to fit fairly easily though.
[Android Head-Units] popamor:
posts #285 by Telperion has the files for S8 and #286 for S5. The 2 sets of files looks similar. If your unit is S4 and below, you might need a diff set of files.
[Android Head-Units] blue_one:
Can somebody give me the name of the white plugs for the external connections? I guess those are JST something but I'm not sure.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
H

Will see when the booster arrives. 12v+ over G8 via quadlock (fiddling) or directly connect lead to B1 pigtail (preferred) or some other pigtail. Multimeter will tell. Doesn't matter where to get the power for the booster.

Strange if it doesn't fit for VW MK6, (diversity) antenna's & double fakra are same as MK5 & MK7.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Still no reaction from Ossuret vendor... I think he wants negative public feedback on their service/support 😅
[Android Head-Units] fjavierb:
hello, you're right, ossuret was not the best choice, but fine. I have it installed in a passat, the antenna amplifier that you show is like mine, I have connected it to a cable that says ANT from the main bus, this has 12 V when it starts, the other one is with the fan connector, I suspect that if the fan works (it came to me without a fan) the voltage may vary.

Overall the radio does not tune the same as the original, much less sensitive, he tried several amplifiers that guarantee the operation of the diversity antenna and there is no improvement.

I haven't gotten it.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Thank you and you're correct, radio isn't top a all, for the moment is connected with FM amp single fakra which worked very well on my Blaupunkt & Pioneer aftermarket units. I hope connecting both antenna's over amp/booster will improve things a bit for this unit. But from reading your experience it will not improve much.

Things are what they are and Ossuret isn't best in support or after sales but all in all unit works quite well...
[Android Head-Units] fjavierb:
totalmente de acuerdo
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Was also uploaded to Google Drive...
[Android Head-Units] DCB103:
I had some problems with radio reception as it was bad, so bought an amp for it, when wanted to install the amp, I noticed the fakra connector was not completely connected. When tightened it reception was excellent on a not amplified antenna (my original reception on a blaupunkt was not that good), I have the S1 but has the same radio chip as the S4 TSC4745. after it still installed the amp. but there was not a difference as what the reception is without it.
[Android Head-Units] DCB103:
I would like to know what problems people still have with their unit. As what I have read in this thread must say I have not encountered them on my unit (maybe wifi could be improved a little). I am still (have the S1) on the old firmware 1019 and MCU 1026. Everything worked out of the box and know a lot can be addressed to the canbus decoder box you have connected to it or brand of car you have installed it in. fi. there are about 5 different Raise boxes for my car and HiWorld boxes all with their own characteristics if you look on the internet.

I have received a new fw from the seller (Hizpo) as I prefer the fw's from them just in case some goes wrong I know who to Blame :) ,also saw a similar one already passing by (although the download was from a different server nr., but the messages they send are pretty standard and also saw on other fora that it is in a lot of cases a macro they send how to do it with the link of download.

But keep up the good work in this thread always helps a lot of people
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
Can you please post a picture of the Car Settings -> About Device screen with the original firmware (1019)? I may need this to get latest firmware from the vendor.

Could you also post the link to the firmware that you got from Hizpo? The latest firmware that has been posted for the S1,S2,S3,S4 devices is 1216.

Thanks.

Does everyone have a cropped android auto? how to make that when you connect the phone, the full interface starts ?!
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
@nyp42 I just received the exact same links from Ossuret (finally) + these seem the same links some S8 owners received...

[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
My S4 is allready on 1216/1216 so I could update firmware to 1228 and should work I guess as 1216 firmware also worked with 1126 mcu but probably will skip and do the 0104 system upgrade
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
You had better gone with an tried and tested stable fw version. Try downgrading to an known stable fw version instead of old mcu. Check the firmware thread if the April major update link is still working. Leave mcu as is.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
In car settings you can adjust separate volume levels for navigation and for media/audio. You can also adjust the mix between navigation and audio. Tune it to your taste.

BT OBD is also discussed in the thread on several occassions. Use the search feature please (in English). It's about supported device classes. A phone is supported for obvious reasons, your BT OBD adapter probably not.
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
Has anyone noticed that the screen has become less bright with the latest update? Moreover, when turned on, it can blink brighter for a second. Purely in my opinion, the screen after the update shines at 100% as before 60%.

Is it so or maybe I'm wrong? Since I had never turned on the screen at 100% before, I had it at 60% and I was surprised when they wrote here that the screen was dim.
[Android Head-Units] balkanera:
Does anybody have the 13 inch version ? M300s same cpu as my s3 4gb 32gb 9 inch version …

Is this a qf3 version ?

I only cant see the dsp from the 13 inch version until it arrived..
[Android Head-Units] itiswitis:
Brightness is same for me with 0614 update. My unit is fine at 60% in daylight, but I run at 80% for use with sunglasses. I think brightness is different for many units, probably a quality control issue.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
Difficult to evaluate this with the eyes, it could be subjective, even with previous firmware it was like this,,in any case the display has a VERY bad brightness as default, even if set to 100%, during the day, especially with direct sunlight, it is almost invisible what is spinning below, in also missing any anti-glare film, so things get even worse.

Sx HU are ok, but this is a SERIOUS construction defect, the backlighting of the display is really TOO poor.
[Android Head-Units] MauriBixio:
it's a design problem, the section that manages the backlight is not very powerful... no firmware can solve this hardware problem.
