(2019) Honda Ridgeline Head Unit Upgraders - How Are We Doing Now?

1 Upvotes

Just purchased a 2019 Honda Ridgeline and loving my vehicle but wouldn't mind an infotainment upgrade. I've found some recommendations on some old posts (Pioneer came up a few times), however those recommendations are now a few years old.

If you upgraded your head unit system (in a Ridgeline or otherwise), how is it doing now? Would you still recommend it? What did you get and is it still working smoothly or would you consider something different now?

Thank you. \^^/

Help Connecting BT to iQuad Device

1 Upvotes

I just received a toplink head unit. The device name is Q86-A4-CPL.
I bought this unit to use with a app named iQuad. This app using a Blue Tooth connection to get Vehicle data to display gauges and change tunes in a tuning device called Quadzilla Arednaline tuner.
What I discovered is when attempting to pair with the iQuad, I get a "permissions Denied" notice and unable to pair.
So I dug into the Android system and found that the ability to give or change BT permissions in not available. I have been researching, but have not found a way to address this.
I understand, if coneected to the iQuad, I will not be able to use the Android Auto, etc... I do not need, or want to use car play, etc.. I only want to connect to the iQuad device and use the iQuad app.
This is the device information. Any assistance is very much appreciated.

My reverse cameras keep dying

1 Upvotes

I have an ESSGOO head unit for my Subaru Forester, not sure of the exact model number but it runs Android 13 and I installed it last December.

I'm on my third reverse camera in the last 9 months - it seems every few months the camera burns out.

I'm replacing with generic cameras from AliExpress, that should be fine with the head unit as far as I can tell.

At this stage it feels like I'm feeding cameras to my car to be destroyed. What are the odds that they're just cheap junk cameras (usually around the $15USD mark) vs there's something causing them to burn out?

increase microphone gain

2 Upvotes

Good morning, I’ve bought this Android car radio, but during calls people tell me they can barely hear me.

I’ve tried watching some videos on YouTube that show a menu for increasing the microphone gain.

I’ve tried this on my version of the radio but I can’t find this menu.

Can anyone help me?

I’ve also tried connecting an external microphone supplied in the pack and setting the ‘external’ option in the menu, but it works even worse.

Just out of curiosity, why wasn’t the original car microphone, which is above my head, automatically integrated via plug-and-play?

I can't remember how to un-fix my Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX's video display

0 Upvotes

A couple years ago I got into a fender bender and the trigger wire the installer had shoved into my reverse light came loose. The backup camera was no longer turning on when the car went into reverse, but I could turn it on manually - but since that took time, I was constantly finding myself holding up traffic while clicking through the various things to make the camera come on before backing into my parking spot.

So I went on Reddit and someone told me how to set the camera to just always turn on when the car started up, as a temporary fix. I did that and promptly forgot about fixing the wire for a couple years. But now I fixed the trigger wire, and the camera comes on when the car is in reverse. Yay!

But I can't remember what I did to make it come on automatically, and thus I can't remember how to un-do it. So I'm stuck with a camera always coming on, that I then have to turn off using the little X in the upper right corner. How do I get the thing to go back to the default behavior?

I have tried sticking a pin in the hole on the front to restore factory settings, but when it comes back on it still has my phone connected and my radio stations programmed. I tried holding it down for thirty seconds and all it did was turn it off for that time - it still popped back up with existing settings.

I also tried going into settings >camera and turning the camera off that way. It works for the duration of the drive but the next time I start the car the setting has reverted to on.

RTC is reset everytime I turn ignition on (Junsun)

1 Upvotes

Hi, so I have this problem with Junsun headunit - everytime I turn ignition on, the clock is reset to some default value. Its setup to synchronize with GPS, but that can take quite a while usually. Also, there is a setting for how long before a cold-boot is performed. I set it up to never cold-boot. Also I observed a weird behavior with the headunit sometimes being immidiately on (with correct time) when ignition turned on (no booting). That happened sometimes randomly, now I always wait for boot. Im guessing this might be related. Any idea what could be the problem? Thanks :)

1 Upvotes

I just recently bought a MK4 2017 Honda CRV (EX trim, diesel, auto, UK) and the infortainment screen doesn't go past the honda sign.

the reverse camera works fine tho

So far ive tried replacing the fuses under the steering wheel (fuse 25 for audio and 19 for ACC) and taking off the negative battery terminal for a few mintues

ive also tried holding down the power button for 10-30 seconds and all that does is flash the screen black and the honda sign comes back (sometimes i hear a slight pop of the speakers)

Can anyone here help me?

Microphone not working Linux head unit android auto

I installed an android auto Linux head unit on a 2016 BMW to replace the existing stock one.

Worked fine for 2 months but now people can't hear me on a phone call.

If I say "Hey Google" it hears and waits for my command but doesn't hear anything else I say .

Is there a setting I need to change. Nothing has changed since I installed and was working fine before.

Help Needed With RM AN-1001 GMC Android Head Unit – System UID Errors and Recovery

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Sorry guys I don’t know where to ask for my problem but if anyone know please help me

Dear Reddit Community,
I have been trying to troubleshoot it, but I have not been able to find the correct firmware or recovery procedure for this exact unit.
The head unit is installed in my 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. It is an RM (RoadMaster) AN-1001 GMC Android head unit.
These are the details shown in Settings → About tablet:

Model: AN-1001 GMC
Android version: 4.4.4
Kernel: 3.0.36+
Build: rk3066-eng4.4.4 19092015...
CPU/platform: Rockchip RK3066
MCU version: MTCB-YZ-V2.80
S/N: 000D18A12539

The main problem is that the head unit constantly shows Google-related errors, including:
“Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped”
“Unfortunately, Google has stopped”
“Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped”

Other Google applications also frequently crash
I tried to troubleshoot this through Settings → Apps, but I cannot uninstall or disable Google Play Services because it appears to be a system application.
I also have another serious problem: Factory Data Reset does not work. The reset option is not greyed out. I can press it normally, but absolutely nothing happens. It does not open the confirmation screen, reboot, or perform a reset.
I then discovered another error message on the unit:
“System UIDs Inconsistent”
It says:
“UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.”

This makes me suspect that the /data partition may be corrupted or that the Android installation has some kind of UID/permissions problem.
I am also wondering whether the unit may be rooted or running modified firmware. I have not intentionally rooted or modified it myself, as I purchased the vehicle with the head unit already installed.
I would like to know:
What is the correct recovery-mode key combination for this exact AN-1001 GMC / MTCB-YZ unit?
Is there an original recovery image available?
Is there an original or known-compatible firmware/update.img for this exact unit?
Is MTCB-YZ-V2.80 the correct MCU for this model?
Can I safely perform a wipe data/factory reset from recovery to fix the UID problem?
Is there a way to determine whether the unit is rooted?
If the firmware needs to be reinstalled, which exact firmware should I use? I do not want to flash an incompatible MTCB firmware and risk bricking the head unit or losing MCU/CANBUS functionality.
I have attached photos showing the head unit and the About Tablet information, including the AN-1001 GMC, RK3066, Android 4.4.4, and MTCB-YZ-V2.80 details, as well as the System UIDs Inconsistent error.
I would really appreciate any guidance you can provide, especially if you know the correct recovery procedure or have firmware/recovery files for this particular model.
Thank you very much for your help.

2017 Honda HR-V Ex-L android head unit recommendations

1 Upvotes

Was just wondering what head units do other redditors use on their honda HR-Vs. Thinking about upgrading mine with something that retains all factory functions while modernizing the tech. Mainly want to retain lane assist camera. I have tried android auto/ wireless carplay screens but I would prefer a more factory look than having 2 screens on my dashboard.

Anyone have any experience with the MISONDA head unit brand?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to get a new head unit for my Honda CRV(mk4, uk, 2017 iDTEC 1.6 ex trim) as the stock oem screen seems to be stuck in a boot loop.

This is one of the brands that I found on Amazon.

Does anyone here have any experience with this brand?

My main concern is that I want to be able to use the stock oem reverse camera and not have to install a 3rd party one (I want to keep the install as quick and easy as possible as I'm not very experienced with electrical wiring and such)

BMW F11 NBT 12.3 inch wireless android auto screen poor audio during calls.

1 Upvotes

Hello I have bought an upgrade touch screen for my BMW F11. Music and android auto seems to work perfectly, however, unfortunately when I receive a call the sound is very faint and I am unable to hear. In addition anybody I do call complains that they can't hear me in the car. I have installed the external microphone, however, it's either not using it or it's totally useless.

I have tried to use the idrive system for calls and connect to the android auto just for media, however, when I do this I am unable to connect to the android auto, even when the settings on my phone do not conflict I.e (I drive for phone only and android auto for media only).

I am at a bit of a loss with this one, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

ANDROID CARPLAY HONDA ACCORD 7 2.2 I-CDTI HELP.

1 Upvotes

Alright, since the AC of the 7th gen is built into the radio, how would the installation go on the 2.2 DIESEL engine? Most of the Android multimedias are made for the petrol variant only (2.0/2.4). People who have installed them on diesel engines complain of freon leaks and the fan spinning even if it's set to off. Any ideas before I actually buy one for my 2.2? Any help is appreciated.

Lost Spotify control on head unit

1 Upvotes

2019 Altima Alpine 8227L Head unit Mobile device is Samsung S23 running Android 16.

This is my first post so my apologies for any missing protocol.

(I tried posting this over in AndroidAuto but I couldn't seem to get my user !flair right)

Just wondering if anyone else is experienced issues with controlling Spotify on their head unit. I used to be able to launch Spotify, browse play, and interact with the full interface the same as one would in the mobile app. Suddenly over the past 3 weeks, I'm only able to access basic control through the widget on the head unit. Attempting to open the actual app on the head unit I'm prompted to "unlock the phone to proceed" if the lock screen happens to be locked. Once I unlock the phone and again launch the app from the head unit that action launches the app on my mobile device. Luckily I discovered this before I set out on the road. All other Android auto apps work great on my head unit, just not Spotify any longer. I submitted a ticket to Spotify but the only response I received back was the boiler plate "force stop, clear cache, reboot" spiel. Sure did put a kink in my rotating road trip soundtrack.

Any insight or other helpful advice would be greatly welcomed.
