update went fine! fixed my wifi, and added many more features i did not have before,

it will take a while to locate and list them all. but i will when i am finished.

before the time display may or may not be on all pages, it is now, i have icons i did not have before, such as bluetooth wif connected, usb in use, battery voltage, font and pixel size menu, headlight control was not present now is, carletter or carplay did not need reactivation, torque is now working.

so far it appears all my previous setting have remained. it also seemed to cold boot faster. page swapping is crisp clean fast, bluetooth connection much faster and stable. wifi is better but still seems weaker than an tablet, cell etc with internal antennas. at least it works now. it was even able to pick up my AP that is further away than my wifi. it found my neighbors briefly but loses it as fast at it finds it.

i take that to be the almost non existent wifi antenna which i still believe should be an add on like the gps and 4g units.

i will attempt to post all changes i find good and bad and a screen shot of current firmware later

my lights turn on and panel dims but my signal comes from the main wiring to unit, there is a headlamp on signal, my unit came with plug and play adapter harness though. one bigger one into the main unit and car, then the factory aux in adapter harnesses. not one cut and splice connection needed.. at first i thought canbus was connected as my steering wheel radio controls were active and functioned, i pulled my car up on mitchell on demand and in my cars case its not a canbus function. and the lights for dimming are when the car turns on all the cars interior switch leds as each switch has an led to be spotted at night, so i am believing the dimming feature that also turns on the static switch lights on left of unit need a light on signal from the car. on the orange wire at the main power connector at the head unit. at least the spare splice in harness it came with says its that wire. light control is the label on it. if its different than others it is directly next to the main battery wire not the acc wire

my update went mint. many issues fixed many features added! DSP is amazing on this firmware.

still need to load up screen shots for all to see on firmware revision and will post firmware link to my google drive.
[Android Head-Units] TTVR6:
aI was the one thing that worked perfectly out of the box for me. very handy and it seemed very responsive and precise. hardly expected that. mine i had to pay to activate to get ALL the features and be able to customize it. i found you can edit the greetings, and responses as well. the balloon gets you into most of the customizing. i paid the $28 for pro. which for me added more options
[Android Head-Units] TTVR6:
got to toppal service i believe. there are menus to turn on and off. hide help, hide floating icon.

if you hold down on the robot icon for a few seconds it disappears on mine and remains gone unless i go back into menu and turn it back on
[Android Head-Units] TTVR6:
head light detection at least on mine get its source from interior switch lamp led signal and goes in on the orange wire on the main power connector on the head unit, if your coloring is different it should be the wire directly next to the larger B+ wire on the black connector. send that 12+ from any light on the car that turns on with either parking or headlamps.

most factory units have that source at one of the connectors already

if you need to know if your car does and its color give me year make model i can look it up on mitchell on demand
[Android Head-Units] nyp42:
Yeah and there is a lot good information spread out across 10 pages and counting. If someone were so inclined (not saying that someone is me necessarily) is there some way of consolidating it on a single page? Or maybe a dedicated forum for these devices or something. These multipage threads are a nightmare to parse when you are trouble shooting and for new users trying to get up to speed.

@Clyde72 @TTVR6 I misunderstood what headlight detection meant. I thought it was for detecting on coming headlights at night and dimming your high beams. Yeah mine works like you describe too but I am not able to change the brightness of the lighted buttons. They should go up and down with the dash light brightness, no? Does it do that on your VW @Clyde72 ?

Is that the orange wire that is in a plug with a red wire? Those wires are ACC. (accessory) and ILL. (illumination) right? I actually have to leave those disconnected when I install the unit in my car otherwise it doesn't go into sleep mode when I take the key out. I believe that on VW those signals are on the CAN bus and are delivered to the unit either directly or more likely IMO from the CAN bus decoder.

That reminds me, has anyone found a pinout diagram for the CAN bus decoder?
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Thx for the wiring explanation, I guessed it was via canbus but could be the orange wires in the harness as they are also connected over quadlock in my car.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Yes

Yes it does on my VW and brightness is indeed fixed.

Car Settings -> Voice -> Voice Button

There is also Default Voice that changes which app runs when you press the button you've mapped to voice assistant and Voice Wakeup which I guess enables/diables wake words but I haven't got it to work.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I got it to work with Google Assistant for a while but only works with "Ok Google" or "Hey Google" as the magic words but I couldn't get it to stay active in the background because I changed some things because Assistant was nagging to create a routine after I dictated "navigate home" 😅. GA brought me home but since GA doesn't listen anymore 🫣.

I think I will have to reinstall Google Assistant to repair it.
[Android Head-Units] popamor:

i hope i don't laugh you, there is some update for porting your fantastic app to our devices?
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Yes, I decided to keep the old plug as I was going to solder anyway. I've put an 68 ohm resistor in series on the + wire (red) as you will notice.
[Android Head-Units] Bambucha001:
Hello, today I received a Sunon V2, but since I'm still waiting for the front camera and with one removal of the device to make all the modifications, I want to ask those who have replaced the fan, which installation is more suitable: how does the original suck the warm air or mount it to blow inward?
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I think there is some thread on Xda where you can find those answers if you read it 🫣.
[Android Head-Units] Bambucha001:
I meant one of the others who replaced the fan, not you, and Meteordust.

I have read the whole thread :) Anyway, I decided to try his way
[Android Head-Units] Johan0503:
Update! Had contact with Hipzo, they asked me to the open the unit make a photo of the motherboard so they could check if there is a problem. If they couldn't solve it this way, they said i could return they headunit and they send a new headunit. So i send it back this afternoon. So now waiting till the new headunit arrives.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Strange, Meteor and me are not part of those who replaced the fan lol :cowboy:. No idea what is best, either way is ok I think. As long the fan is powered :cool:
[Android Head-Units] Meteordust:
It depends on the HU you have.

Just try both ways and analyze the CPU temperature for yourself before you put your HU fully fixed in your dashboard.

In my opinion a free "breathing" fan will generate more airflow, due not creating "breathing" resistance when you suck threw a unit or in my case also the very small space under the fan what also gives a little more noise and higher temps on my HU.

Can only say....test it yourself and give us the feedback :geek:
[Android Head-Units] SonGoten!!!:
The original fan was so loud that I was forced to buy a better one that is also quiet. I can only recommend this to anyone who has a little bit of space behind the radio

Sorry i forgoten to paste the english text @Clyde72

Der ursprüngliche Lüfter war so laut, dass ich gezwungen war, einen besseren zu kaufen, der auch leise ist. Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen, der ein bisschen Platz hinter dem Radio hat
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Thx for sharing but please stick to English. This is an international forum. Or maybe add the English translation for once
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
IMO the airflow mass is less important as the temperature of this air. So if you have not much space behind the HU, and/or this space is closed (or to much sealed), there is no important what fan you have, and what direction it blow. In my case, close to the HU there is air hose to cooling the glove box. My plan is to connect the hose there and guide it colse to the HU fan. But of course there can be many different for you
[Android Head-Units] Jeka1400:
In my case, a hole in the air duct near the radio is sufficient. When driving with an air conditioner, the temperature of the processor is ~52"C. It is 34 on the street, and 24 in the cabin
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
If you have now 34 degree outside, so.... adopt me :D
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
Someone can give a complete answer about the Google Assistant ??? Who uses it on their car radio? How does it work if Toppal is removed? It's a pity to delete Toppal, because I have a lifetime license for the standard version! Here they wrote Google Assistant works from the button, how did you connect it? Since the assistant settings are cut down in the menu and I can not turn it on! To enable it, you need to set the assistant as the main application, but this menu is not possible. Many people write here - it's all already in the topic, but I still haven't found an answer on how to connect it. Please give a complete answer who figured out the Google Assistant and can he do everything that is on the android phone?
[Android Head-Units] Jeka1400:
Now it's comfortable, but in the summer...
[Android Head-Units] Jeka1400:
I'll see what I installed and where I turned it on (the main thing is not to forget this). But you must understand that apart from searching on Google and laying out the route, he will not help you with anything.
[Android Head-Units] chorleschio:
Maybe the problem is just that the menu options of Google Assistant have been limited or moved. I mean you may need to set Google Assistant as the main application for it to work properly. However, this option may not be available in some car radio models((
[Android Head-Units] ronneke65:
I Just became a member and would like to thank you all for the info. Just put in the sunon fan and did the mic modification. Works perfect

I like to know if the canbus software can be updated
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
Сan't you dial phone numbers with Google Assistant?
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
This option is there, but it is not available for connection, but they wrote here that they installed it on the radio, but first they removed Toppal, they say they conflict together, but I feel sorry for deleting it, since the lifetime license is from the seller. Toppal works fine, but I would also like that the search in spotify would work and you could dial a phone number, and for this you need to buy a premium version of Toppal) I made a mistake at first, I wrote spotify instead of Toppal.

can you wrote it more simple? or maybe you can give some link to youtube you mention it?

Every tuning of car audio need at least a calibrated microphone, and some soft, like eg. AudioControl's SA-4100i SPL Mic

So how did you do it, with just a laptop and phone?
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
Welcome, please share which mic mod you did, for external mic use?

Not seperately to my knowledge. Mine just got updated with some system update I remember but I don't use canbus.
[Android Head-Units] ronneke65:
I did the mod by taping the 2 wires. Now my ext mic works perfect. Its a cheap one i got with a onder head unit
[Android Head-Units] ronneke65:
Older head unit
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
Almost everything is like in the video, only I use other programs and due to the fact that there are more strips for settings in the radio, I think 40 pieces, the equalizers can be fine-tuned. You don’t need to buy any microphone, I don’t have a bad microphone in my laptop, if it’s bad, everything can be configured from the phone, only other programs are needed. An expensive microphone will let you measure low frequencies, but I set everything up, and then I tuned low frequencies (20-200) by ear. If you do not have a car audio studio, then there is no point in bothering with an expensive microphone, you can use any available one (these are approximate settings). I watched how they set up before the car audio competition, and so they don’t use a microphone, everything is by ear.

I didn't do it easily. I spent a week to study the topic, find programs and two days to understand how to do it all without a microphone and perfect hearing. It's not easy, but when you do it once, the second time everything is elementary and fast.
[Android Head-Units] Astralech:
Yes, by buying a new CANbox. Mine for Opel has January 2023 firmware.
[Android Head-Units] ronneke65:

[Android Head-Units] marioti:
the dsp make global setings to all hu. do you guys know how to set eq separately for aps, because i here the difference in radio playing, or in media player.

And again, do you know any free radio app, because the stock one is not enought to me, and in google store there are almost only the internet radio app
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
This is impossible. In other firmware there are three user settings that can be saved, here is only one. Moreover, if you turn on the equalizer setting in the radio that is installed, the amplifier is turned off.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
What do you mean by difference? It is normal to hear a difference between FM & e.g. music files. FM is an analogue signal and the rest are digital signals. Besides there is also a difference in bitrate. No DSP could change that + DSP deteriotates analogue signals due to compression.
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I first thought you meant the can settings app/software. Besides looks like you bought an decoder for later Fiesta models. As for the link copy, look for a share symbol/button & chose "copy link to clipboard". Then paste it here.
[Android Head-Units] Max643:
Hi everyone, I have problem with Zlink activation. I read that activation is automatic when head unit is connect on wifi. I put router 1 m from car for strong signal but it did not help. How did you activate this app?
[Android Head-Units] Astralech:
I bought wiring from Canbox Raise (fw 01-23) with internal buzzer. Then I bought a Hiworld with a speaker and now I have the original warning sounds instead of buzzing. Hiworld
[Android Head-Units] Astralech:
And have you tried other models from those years or Ford in general.
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
I compare to original old radio RNS315. The radio sound like there are only midrange frequencies. And ofcourse it can be changed by the eq. But if i do that, it'll be overboost in low and high when i play a music from any other sources.

One more thing, i have 2 FM antenas, so i use an adapter with active separator like this below. But the FM receiving signal is low, and disappears frequently. I didn't have that problem in old radio.

active antena separator - Google Search
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
I suppose you drive Volkswagen given the RNS315. VW has indeed dual FM antenna with Dual Fakra connectors. For an aftermarket unit it is wisely to install an Fakra or Dual Fakra 12V antenna amplifier. RCD/RNS units which are OEM have built in FM amplification.

I allready had an single fakra antenna amp in my Golf V, changed it for an dual fakra antenna amp for this unit... (never got an RCD/RNS unit...)

FM reception is very good as now both FM antenna's are used, a tat better than with the single fakra antenna amp. You can connect the 12V line to the single blue wire from the unit (or elsewhere like I did).
[Android Head-Units] snaker12:

So what it could be wrong?

Is there, in HU, a setting to turn on or off the power supply to antena?

(a piece of advice for those who have VW units. You need this antena separator with double fakra, not two single fakra plugs)
[Android Head-Units] Aaantonn:
Search Google for why there are two antennas and you will understand that the adapter is not needed. I have a Volkswagen and it's the same. One antenna is FM radio, and the second is other waves, like this. Just separate them, turn on first one and then the second and you will understand which one you need, just throw away the second one, it does not affect anything. I found my antenna in Google and in the car, after which I determined which wire to leave. The antenna catches and displays information well. Everything is very simple and no adapter is needed. Almost everyone writes about the adapter, but for some reason no one can search the Internet for two wires. Clyde wrote you a rule - do not compare the radio with any player. The antenna most likely has power, in addition to the antenna, there is also a control unit on the passenger side. With the adapter, it will most likely be worse or nothing will change.
[Android Head-Units] MarcelloR92:
How do I give the command it requires? I need it to disable the notification bar of the stereo, I have installed the personal one
[Android Head-Units] Clyde72:
It is similar, mine has separate fakra plugs (& was way cheaper).

It can be possible the antenna amp isn't powered. To measure is to know. Take a MM and reconnect it to some 12V line...

Also a single fakra antenna amp works well but take the roof antenna then for best reception...

Why do you keep calling it an separator? I just explained best reception is obtained by

combining/joining

the 2 FM antenna's...
[Android Head-Units] marioti:
Ok, at first I'll check the power.

I call it so because in my country they just say like this on it. check my link for eg. they call it separator also.

As you notice it's not an amp, it just combine FM from two antennas. Inside this tube, there are simple LC parts, like small condensator and ferrite coil
[Android Head-Units] kylegrant:
Hey there. I just got one of these units, the S2 model exactly. I am just wondering if any of you had to do anything special to get a usb flash drive to show up on it? I tried formatting to NTFS and to FAT32 but it doesnt read it. Also nothing seems to happen when I plug my iphone to the usb port. The usb port works because when I plug my android tablet into it, it charges. Any solution to flash drive being read?

edit: I "fixed" it by restarting the unit. After a restart the unit will see the flash drive but if I unplug it and plug it back in, it will need another reboot. Posting this here in case anyone might see it.
[Android Head-Units] Kiralina:
My USBs are all formatted FAT 32 and the unit sees most of them. One SanDisk usb stick is not seen under any circumstances. So, maybe try another usb stick. For me, Lexar and Kingston, work.

About the iphone, I don't really know, because I have a Pixel phone, but did you also open the mirroring app on the unit ? It must be either carletter or zlink (at least this is what I have on my S4) The app should guide you towards the next steps you'll have to take.
[Android Head-Units] kylegrant:
Thanks for the reply. I just figured it out. I found the setting to reboot the device and after booting back up it is able to see all my usb sticks. I guess I just have to reboot whenever I plug in the usb again.

You are right, tme decription says "separator", other sources call it amp or booster. Never opened one up or found technical documentation.

I hope you can solve the power because it does work well. Also did for my aftermarket 1 din radio units. Without it hardly gives stereo reception and only on limited strong stations.

on the roof i have oem fin antenna which is connected to GPS and Webasto. So because of the webasto i can't change it to aftermarket one which buyed Meteordust (see page 72).

You are wrong about the antennas specific in my case. One is only for FM, and the seccond got FM/AM. See the link below.

But also i checked it with a single adapter (fakra - DIN) attached with HU. No matter which antenna i chose, there was a FM receiption (one better as annother, but on both was FM)

No matter that, i found out what is going on. This amp/separator (or whatever it calls) i connected it to AMP +12V (blue wire), but on stock settings it is off (there is no power on this wire). So i can't find where it could be turn on because of the bad translation on my language (they translated it so bad, I never would have thought that was this optiont). So changed to english, and found it on pos. 34 in Factory menu.

As for now i got a good receiption in FM, not worser as in oem radio. Thank you guys.

If someone will have any alternative app for offline radio, just please let me know :)

You will have to translate into your language.

On the native radio tape recorder, 12 volts is supplied through the antenna from the radio tape recorder, therefore it is turned off ...

In all Volkswagens, AM is separate from FM, you don’t say what kind of car you have.
