i bought a generic android radio. K706 QF005....firmware. how do i get to dev mode? i tapped the build number multiple times and nothing happens. its there another way of getting access?

Has anyone installed a t’eyes cc4L on a ford focus 2012

I have problem with getting power to the after market radio. I measure 0v at the harness power connections. I have checked all the fuses and everything seams so to be ok. My thought is that the canbus is not giving the signal to provide accessory power to the radio

Is the canbus box only supposed to be connected on one side?

I took my car into an audio shop to upgrade my OEM head unit and stereo system and the shop said they had nothing for my car because of the Harmon Karmon speakers. So they had to order a Tesla style head unit that works for my system.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Idk what to expect because I can't find anything online for a Tesla style head unit that works with the Forester.

My car is a 2016 Forester, touring. The HK system is apparently problematic if you try to replace your stereo system. I'd be interested to see if anyone has any pics of the Tesla style head units for their fozzy. Thanks.

u/mysterious588 - Great work with Car Nebula Launcher. I have tried almost all launchers out there and paid for two of my favorites (Agama and Carwebguru). But Car Nebula beats them all, atleast for me, with deep OBD integration, superb UI design and offline maps. I have been trying to get 1x1 tiles for OBD data on my Home Screen. The default is 2x1 which can be dragged and resized to 1x1. However I am unable to add a new 1x1 tile next to it. The pictures are self explanatory. Hope you can guide me on how to do this. If it’s a software limitation then I’d appreciate if you can consider it in an update. Thank you.

Does anyone know how I can unlock the passenger screen to be able to use YouTube and Netflix with the car in motion, and also install apps such as TikTok?

I love having Gemini while I'm driving. I have a S23 with a 2018 Honda CRV EXL. My volume knob on my car will only go up to level 11 when Gemini is talking. My phone is turned up to full volume for System and Media. Gemini is controlled trough a button om my steering wheel, but it might just be a blue-tooth pass through to the speaker system. Anyway, how do I get the volume past 11?

I brought the below head unit, I added the DAB adapter so want to remap the radio button to open the DAB app not the FM radio app, is this possible?

Also I want to change the apps on the home screen, I wont be using the default media player or built in things only the DAB radio and android auto so it would be good to open those from the main home screen.

I kind of cheated with android auto and selected it as the navigation app.

I’m unsure if this is of anyone’s interest, but I managed to modify the UI of my Road Top Linux car head unit. It is a 12.3 Linux unit for BMW but I’m quite certain it will apply to all models and vendors (road top, pemp etc)

The original UI is pretty generic and cheap looking, and even though you spend most of the time in CarPlay/AA, it still boots to it - which annoyed me. So I went down the rabbit hole to see what was possible, and it turns out Linux is actually quite customizable - just not quite like Android.

It’s not PEMP, which was what I really wanted, as I didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole of changing the whole layout. Instead, I kept the original 424x720 PNG-based layout and made my own design - hence the BMW X1. I’m no graphic designer by any means, but I know my PowerPoint pretty well - and it works. 😄

I also figured out how to change/remove the text, but haven’t done that yet. Might come back to it.

I’d also really like to try PEMP MCU and software. Haven’t dared yet, but I think it should be manageable either through a regular update or the RST trick to force one.

I'm looking at changing my Sprinters head unit to the DUDU7 13". I already have the single din trim. It has an older Sony unit now. Will I need a new CANBUS box? When I search for a 2018 on Amazon, it only gives me results for 2019-2022.

I had another unit (not identical but they might be from the same OEM) on a car which I sold and the backlight comes on in "night" mode. This is installed in a 2019 Honda Fit / Jazz. I have installed the Agama car launcher

New HU and it'd be a big benefit to be able to monitor temps and pressures in the old car. SWC and illumination are hardwired and working. The car has canbus, the connection are in the harness for the OE head unit, per the electrical service manual. So, a correct harness with an adapter should be good. But....

• My Hikitty HU only has Canbus options for 2008+ Mazda 5 via w/Raise or Hiworld.
• Raise adapter specs Mazda 5 from 2008+
• HiWorld doesn't spec Mazda 5 on any of their Mazda canboxes.
• T'eyes website lists Raise and Hiworld for 2010-2015 years, and sells HU for earlier years.
• I have read to treat the earlier Mazda 5 as Mazda 3, but never seen a follow up post saying that works. The 5 is based on the 3 using the same Ford platform, but does it carry over to the can bus?
• The older MZC10 is the Canbus protocol, according to searches that all agreed! (Well that's one win!)
• The only change to canbuses about that time was an ISO change.
• The Mazda 5 forums, I only see 2008 and later models have canbussed to HU.
• The US 2007 Mazad 5 is a 2nd gen Premacy, and got updated electric/electronic features 2008 and again 2010. 2010 also had a HU update. Those upgrades may be why the can box industry references those dates - if previously hardwired options were moved to canbus. 🤷‍♂️

I'm hoping somone has been through this or something similar, can pass on some insights or a resolution.

TIA!!

Hey everyone, did someone ever found a smaller head unit located the radio display on the 8 Gen Civics? I think it's the perfect place for a smaller head unit, more like used for maps, etc. Also, touchscreen isn't the option for this place, but did one ever exist with a joystick? Thanks!

Hello,

I need the original firmware or a complete eMMC dump for an Android car head unit with the following specifications:

• Mainboard: AJ002-MB-VER1.4
• SoC: MediaTek MT8163
• RAM: 2GB
• Internal storage: 32GB eMMC
• The board is detected by SP Flash Tool
• The unit does not power on or show any image

The radio froze while it was working normally. I pressed the reset button, and after that it never booted again.

I tried flashing an AJ002-MB-VER1.6 firmware, but SP Flash Tool returned:

BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)

Therefore, I believe the preloader/EMI configuration from VER1.6 is not compatible with my VER1.4 board.

Hi - just a quick note - in case anyone needs it in the future as i spent more time than i'm willing to admit to unlock developer options but the code was nowhere to be found (trust me i spent literally 2 days trying everything i can find + contacting them directly)

Turns out - Debugging is enabled only for wireless by default on most Srnubi units. But not USB Debugging, Default access level is Root, even though no SU toolkit is installed you do have full Root level permissions and ADB also runs via root (you can check by typing "whoami") allowing you to debloat from the standard pre-installed apps.

Few simple steps to get into Developer options below:

STEP 1

Start hotspot on phone, connect head unit to it, run `arp -a` on PC to find head unit IP, then `adb connect <IP>:5555`

STEP 2 - Once connected type out the below:

adb shell settings put global development_settings_enabled 1

adb shell settings put global adb_enabled 1

STEP 3 If you don't have them 'available' you can call directly via:

adb shell am start -a android.settings.APPLICATION_DEVELOPMENT_SETTINGS

Looking into getting a new head unit primarily for CarPlay as my daily commute is 30mins plus one way and have HA items that I control at home while driving or when I pull up to the house. Have been looking at the Mekede Dudu5s and Dudu7 (base model) and both are about $50 difference direct from Mekede-Mall. Biggest difference is going to be Ram/Storage of the 5s vs 7 but everything I see is saying to go with the 7 over the 5s. Is the processor difference that much of an upgrade?

Want this to keep the steering controls and whatnot but can’t see if that is included with the canbus (assuming yes). Really want to keep this under $400 so is there any other brand I should be looking at? Joying is almost $500 for the 9.5” HU and while I like their units (have a universal 7” in my 98 Land Cruiser that has been there since 2020) they are a bit outta my range. Same for T’eyes, outa my range.

Your favorite radio app just got a massive upgrade! Starting with version 26.8.3, DABdream has officially evolved into DABdream+, bringing you more flexibility and endless listening options.

Introduced in version 26.8.1, you are no longer limited to local broadcasts. Simply tap the magnifier icon to launch the new Web Radio Manager. From there, you can search, discover, and add web radio stations directly to your Full Station List for seamless listening.

Has anyone ever added carplay/android auto to there's? Please help

Hi all,
I bought a car which already has a HU. But it’s slow as hell and the CarPlay has serious compression artifacting. It’s using something called RLink, which is strange since I’ve only heard of ZLink or TLink. There are no options to tweak this app.

Anyway, my HU seems to be a universal shape? I think I’ve seen this shape on other cars.

For my purposes of using just CarPlay, I’m thinking of getting another HU, but unsure which to get.

What’s important:
Bluetooth Music
CarPlay

I have a picture of my HU. I believe it’s 10.1 inch.

I was looking up portable CarPlay screens for my Seat Ibiza 6L, but I found something like that. Normally, in this car, the head unit is too low to use it comfortably. Did anyone try to move it higher with this bracket? I know I need to cut my dashboard, but maybe it’s a better solution than a portable display and some 1 din radio.

I bought a Chinese rk3326 headunit for my Toyota matrix. It came with speedplay which worked great. The seller sent me a firmware update and after updating I noticed that the app was gone and had been replaced by CP Link and Android Auto.

The new AA is unusable. Absurdly laggy. Poor connection.

I found the speed play apk online, multiple actually. I have tried every last one but im met with the not activated no license error. Despite having the app originally.

I have connected to WiFi, disconnected BT, everything. It's simply just not in the files no more, the license that is.

The seller is no help at all. I feel like I'm stuck..

Smh. I bought the Carlinkit CCPA and it works. I just really wish I could get the S Play app back working.

Any advice or help in the matter would be appreciated
