Generic Android headunit (Erisin ES8990A) Information - Android Head-Units

Hi guys, I am thinking of trading in my old phillips carstudio ced780 for a Erisin ES8990A which can be viewed here
I have attached an image of it (for some reason I can't insert images)
It seems to have appealing features eg. a capacitive touchscreen and GPS, however there doesn't seem to be much info on it. I was wondering if anyone has seen this model under a different name and if there is a thread on here discussing that model as there are other android head units? I don't want to buy a model with no support or information!
Thanks!

Same problem here Not much info about it. I just bought it yesterday. It seems ok, bluetooth, wifi etc work ok (range, stability) There is google store etc. Some native android settings are blocked by the producer (like mic volume settings) and it's a bit annoying.

Thanks for the reply, if you don't mind me asking, is this a ce/android hybrid or pure android? How long does it take to boot up? and is the touchscreen really capacitive?
Thanks

It's a pure android. Boots up in a matter of seconds because of being suspended when turning the ignition off. Full system reboot takes less than minute. Touchscreen works ok, no problems there.
As for disadvantages:
- 3G USB modem didn't work, it's being recognized, logs to the network but my APN list is empty and I can't add any... I use wifi instead (mobile gsm hotstop)
- 1GB ROM for application - not much, but for me it's sufficient.
- there is some noise when the unit is ruining (not in speakers, the volume changes nothing, it's getting from inside of the unit). I don't know if it's just my unit... When I listen to the radio it doesn't bother me..

Thanks for the reply, I assume the low storage problem could be mitigated with moving apps/data to the SD card, thanks for the clarification on it being pure android, as android normally doesn't have dvd drive drivers I thought this would have been a ce/android hybrid, but they must have used proprietary drivers.
As for the noise, my current headunit does the same, it's the fan so nothing to worry about there.
The only thing that worries me is the suspend mode you speak of, which must run off the car battery when the ignition is off, therefore depleting it if the car is not used for a while?
Thanks again for the reply!

True, it might be the problem, but without actual info about power drain during standby I can't say much. The truth is that this standby is much more practical as booting the system on every ignition.

3G USB modem nem működik, ez is elismerte, naplókat, hogy a hálózat, de én APN lista üres, és nem tudok hozzáadni ... tudom használni wifi helyett ( mobil gsm hotstop)

I have never heard of this, normally if android detects GPS, every app should. Does google maps work?
What nav app comes preinstalled on the sd card? @psiriders have you heard of this?

GPS works ok, I use Google Maps and iGO, but I never tested the TomTom.

Hi, in the sd card they sent me was iGO, then I've installed Sygic and I had no problem
When I install tomtom appears the image of the map of Rome (I'm in Bari) and remains in the same position and does not move at all, and it seems that it can not find a GPS
thanks for the reply

to me GPS works well, but tomtom not work
Is there any solution?

I'm getting this exact unit. I should have it by Wednesday. The first thing i'll do is install tomtom (legal version) and see if it works, if so I'll post my setup here and hopefully you can duplicate it, if not we can figure something out!

Nálatok is recsegős a rádió? Van rá valami megoldás??

Got the headunit today and can confirm that tomtom does not work, which is no problem for me because the igo it comes with has tomotm maps, and local search. Google maps also works. Maybe the new tomotm go app will work in future?
It is possible there are settings in the hidden menu (password 3368) that allow this but i haven't got a chance to try it out yet.

Hi stewartie4,no, I'm sorry, but there is nothing hidden in the menu that can solve the problem, at least as I saw it, look at yourself and see what you can do, I hope you find something that can explain the problem
thanks

Hello, you too have this problem? :
when I start iGO or Sygic, voice alerts not work.
To hear the voice of Igo or Sygic, I must change the voice
and at the same time that I hear the voice of iGO or Sygic, the voice of the radio stops, and to hear it again I must restart the radio.
And when I restart iGO or Sygic, voice alerts do not work

Nothing new about ?

ES8990A Settings and other issues
Hi Guys, I have one of these radios and I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn the disabled settings items back on. also no matter what I try I cannot get the USB Dash Cam to work nor the built in DVR, I also cannot get the backup camera option to work. any ideas or help would be a blessing.

Do you just need to "reconnect" the device or do you need to "pair" it again?
No idea about your other questions, some of them I don't understand (sorry).
You can also try the rom by booroondook which is the one I am using. Working very well for me.

Multiple issues after Upgrade to 8.0

Hi,
After upgrading to Android 8.0 on my H870 I'm encountering multiple issues.
Using my G6 with Ford Sync 2 or 3 keeps crashing Bluetooth. Meanwhile using Bluetooth with my Marshall Stockwell works absolutly fine. Unpairing and pairing again doesn't seem to work.
Also GPS in Google Maps only works for locating me, but when using it with Navigation my location keeps being stuck at my original position and doesn't move...
HERE also keeps being stuck with "Waiting for GPS".
Restarting the phone didn't help.
Does anyone have a solution to my problems? :crying:
Many thanks in advance
Solution:
After restarting my G6 about 3 to 4 times and disabling Call and Contact Access in the Bluetooth device settings and then restarting everything works fine now. (including GPS)
Update:
The problem is back again
Somewhat new solution:
By enabling the developer options my "Bluetooth AVRCP Version" was set to AVRCP 1.5, which isn't the default...
So by changing it to AVRCP 1.4 Bluetooth works fine now...
VS988 here: Everything seems mostly okay, except for the constant bluetooth crashes. Anybody else seeing that? Also, FWIW, not enjoying the system notifications. Trying to figure out how to turn those off.
Usual first fix after a major update is factory reset, did you try that yet?

I'm H870 EU user, no problems so far after oreo update (without factory reset), BT pairing works as it should...
GPS and navigation also works without bugs.
Just do a factory reset
I had frequent bluetooth crash notifications on nougat. On oreo bluetooth will not connect a2dp/avrcp beyond first pairing with my Pioneer car stereo ..still works fine on bt headsets that dont pull phonebook including my old basic sony car stereo.

If you're talking about persistant battery notification hold on it from notification panel..unfortunately it's all or none. Wish Google had the foresight to allow disable on a per app basis, but you know how wishes go...
I'm having the same problems with bluetooth. My headphones can connect, however after about 3 seconds they automatically disconnect for audio (though they somehow still connect to the phone, just not on audio).
My car still connects and works, however it does sound now like I am listening to a scratched CD (whereas both were working absolutely fine before the update). Haven't found anyone with a solution so far.
Verizon G6 VS988 here.
To respond to a couple of the suggestions here, I did a factory reset first because of bluetooth and battery problems. That didn't fix the problems. I just changed to AVRCP 1.4 Bluetooth and hopefully that fix works for bluetooth. I also have a Ford with Sync.
Something new ive noticed is if i place a call it puts up the audio output notification and everything works as normal. Having reset my phone and car both i can only say LG missed out on my next phone purchase even when running low on phone options.
How do u change to that ? Is it on the phone device settings cant seem to find out how
GPS problem in G6 is a common issue. No solutions so far.
Bluetooth wont work with any device I've tried it with. Many restarts, unpairing, turning on/off bluetooth. Nothing works, need this fixed.
Just adding another testimony of the issue.
T-Mobile
I really hate to say this, but I really cannot recommend LG to anyone anymore after all the issues I've got with my phone...
Another question:
I have 2 NFC payment apps installed.
I'm now on version V20c-EUR-XX and since the upgrade I cannot change my default payment app, so when I'm in the store it always tries to pay with app 2 instead of app 1, even when app 1 is on the screen with the card I want to use...
This really frustrates me, because app 2 doesn't always work in stores (but is my preferred app)...

Is that issue because it's an LG phone? Or does it happen because of that version of Android?
One of my friends is using a Galaxy S8+ and he is running Android 8 (same as mine).
I just cannot think of any reason why they removed this feature...
(So it is a issue with my LG H870)

New TS10 UIS7862 6gb ram 128gb head unit q&a's

So I bit the bullet and bought myself this head unit:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_9JZiHu
Ad stated that unit is 4gb ts8, but unit shipped and arrived is 6gb TS10.
Plugged everything up unit works nice and smooth as expected, but one seriously annoying bug.
Phone connected to HU and when I try to make a phone call I can hear receiver speaking, but they can't hear me.
Head unit does have internal mic. And Mike does work with other apps
I've checked permissions and Bluetooth app does not even request mic permission.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Anyone else got similar issues?
Maybe custom ROMs available etc?
I've managed to enable USB debugging, got passwords for engineering mode, extra settings etc...
Pics of my headunit attached

I did actually managed to sort it out. Store suggested connecting external mic to 3.5mm plug on the harness that came with head unit. Did that, but nothing changed.
Can't remember exactly what I did, but it's something down the lines of Google Voice setting that it's setup to constantly listen for "hey Google" you have to disable that and than "hey Google" function will only work when you in the maps etc not constantly whilst head unit is on.
If you can't find that setting let me know I'll find it and explain in detail how to do that.
If you have the same issue as me I'm positive that this might be the cause

That was 100% it. Turned the 'Hey Google' activation off and problem solved. Thanks!
Glad I could help. I remember being frustrated fumming looking for answers for almost a week... With seller being let's say close to useless they did try...
I came across answer online somewhere where same issue was happening with a phone not headunit so thought worth a try and it worked
Anyway, good luck
Could you please give a screenshot of the setting you changed or at least where in the settings the function is.
Go to applications/car settings/ click on the left button ---more/ Google services and preferences/ click on account services/ search, assistant & voice/ voice/ voice match.
First line should say hey Google access your assistant any time you say "hey Google" when your screen is on. Turn this off.
This worked for me. I'll make a short video just in case

As promised, sorry video seems a bit blurry phone failing to focus
You have gone over and above. Thank you. Found never have thought to delve that deep into settings for the solution.
I did try to be helpful, because I know how frustrated I was being unable to make a phone call or rather switch to hands free mode on the phone every time there was a call. And it really bugged me. It was obvious that it was software not hardware issue since mic worked everywhere else.
Seller couldn't explain anything either and I ended up ripping my brand new cars dashboard 4 times trying to work it out... So I kind of understand and if it helps somebody else I'm more than pleased with taking 10minutes of my time to do so .
Good day sir

A generic firmware update for TS10 deviced. (link expires in a week - probably worth somebody reuploading)
TS10.1.2_20210106.173438_THEME1.zip
1 file sent via WeTransfer, the simplest way to send your files around the world
wetransfer.com
Place the file in the root of a USB and hit the system upgrade button in the settings.
After the update, go to settings - car settings - extra setting - 123456 - config info - choose the options that were ticked prior to the update (BC6 for me)
The update file is titled: TS10.1.2_20210106.173438_THEME1.zip
Presumably from 6th Jan 2021
Headunit reloaded works very well (for seamless android auto support) on these TS10 units for those who have not tried!

I can't tell you with confidence what units are compatible. I do note it has settings for screen resolution - this is on my 720p device. I also note I needed to adjust the config info setting to match what my stereo comes with after flashing. The canbus receivers are set up using a database queried online and car specific apps and logos are automatically added.
The update is excellent - everything works very well. Head unit reloaded works with wireless android auto and wired (though a little buggy wirrless)

Thanks for this. It is useful.
A couple of questions.
1. Can you run that config again if something is incorrect? If so what is the name of the APK? Or do you need to load the whole ROM again to get to that stage?
2. There is BC6,7,and 8. Do you know what specs they refer to?
3. 20210302_221437.jpg shows a mic gain. Could you please advise on the setting path you used to get to that setting page.
Thanks again.

Can you access the extra settings menu on your current firmware (password 123456)
I would copy the settings for BC6/7/8 from there.
You can update the config as often as you like. This sounds like a risky update, probably not worth attempting if you don't currently have similar software with similar settings.
Another password might be useful for somebody:

OWNICE K7 (C970) (TS10) uis7862

Hi fellows, maybe I'm in the wrong section of the forum to post a question:
I have a OWNICE K7 TS10 HeadUnit and I see that the unit is taking too much time to get GPS signals, I tried with another unit (and the same antenna) and it works very well, but not with the OWNIKE K7
Does anyone have the same issue ?,
Does anyone know how to fix it ?, specific app ?, firmware related ?
Thanks in advance

Download GPS TEST.
Connect the radio to internet, open gps test, settings, clear and update AGPS, wait 2-3 minutes and restart(not shut down and open, I reset, restart).
After the radio it's ON again, open gps test (car in open place, no garage, need to see well the sky) and wait.
At the begining you"ll see 2-3 satellites, minures passing the number increase.
After this operation, the next time the radio "fix" 10-15 satellites in 10-15 seconds.

clear and update AGPS, wait 2-3 minutes and restart(not shut down and open, I reset, restart).

You mean restart unit (by Android restart ?) Or you mean RESET the unit ?
Try to Install this app
Drivers Widget - Speedometer​
and add widget to home screen.
This will keep the gps running all the time.

no worries fellow
Problem solved, I enter the engeneering mode, SGPS app and set it to custom (and let default values) instead of GPS+GLONASS+BEIDOU default option
I tried with other options (GPS+BD2+GLONASS, etc... and it idin't work well)
Using default option the GPS seems to warm quicly and catch 13, 15, 18 satellites quickly (2, 4 max 5 before chaging options)
FYI: These people from OWNICE also leave RADIO area settings pointing to CHINA, I bought it to be used in france.
Meaning that the unit hasn't been pre-configured to be used in the customers'country
My opinion: Chinese people want money money money money money, that's all
Will try to put here as much information as possible about that HU
Some of the pre-installed APKs on the OWNIKE K7 (970) With 360camera support and carplay
Some files also here: OWNICE K7 (Google Drive)

Hi... I bought the same product you use...
I have the same problems...
Wouldn't it be rude to ask how to get into engineering mode???

Your unit must have the 360 chip in the motherboard for that

Trying to identify a UIS8581 unit

Is anyone able to help me identify what unit this is? Its meant to be a higher end unit but finding it really sluggish and also looking at some of the reports its using > 6GB of ram OOB out of 8GB (Not sure how the 2GB unit would have worked) .
Sometimes when turning it back on from standby when playing music etc its really jumpy as its its doing something in the background. Anyone got any recommendations on apps to show what using up all the CPU?
It appears to be a UIS8581 based unit, I have run the HWGetinfo tool on it but its reporting its not a FYT unit.
Post Android system information, including MCU version
The version is retuned as "ZLH_AD_OS_1.24" and the MCU "ZLH_QXLA20830A_Q5H0_8581_13"

This is a completely known unit in here. Try search yourself in this forum for ZLA_ you won´t find anything.
Bit harsh - I have been search but how am I meant to know to search for ZLA not ZLH? Also, searching for "ZLA_" returns a total of 1 hit, a google search for `XDA developers "ZLA_"` also returns just a couple hits not in this forum?
I'm also with the same thing.

ZLA was a typo... sorry.
My posting was not meant to be harsh, but this unit is really completely unknown on XDA.
Yeah that looks like the BMW equivalent to mine with a slightly different CPU

Talking with the seller, mine was sold by COIKA.
It seems that it follows some patterns that are very similar to other HU's, you just need to make the following to update for example, the boot logo:
Folder structure:
- HUTUpdate
- OS
- bootanimation.zip
- logo.png
- upgrade.en (empty file)
- upgrade.system (empty file)
So, if you find other examples of HU types that are Android-based, this may work.
To upgrade the MCU is
- HUTUpdate
- mcu
- upgrade.mcu
- BMW_8581.bin
I was trying to make backups with other tools, but no success yet.
BMW_OS_8581_1920_720_1.86.zip
drive.google.com
This worked for me as an update, but I have a BMW. Hope this helps!
Just unzip the HUTUpdate to a blank USB

Which HU do you have?
I have also an UIS8581 Unit von Coika. I have software version ZLH_AD_OS_1.86, and MCU LZH_qxha20830A_Q3H0_8581...
I have also some problems... the bluetooth does only work as a headset. you cant switch it on and use it as a normal conection for apps.
Once you switch to original system and then back, all apps are closed( spoitify etc) you need to restart them...
also my sim does not work at all, cause there is no APN setting in the system. once i try to enter it it says user is not able to change settings...
all in all the system is nor really well programmed and has lot of bugs.
If there is anyone who can help with get all the normal functions back pls contact me?
Best regards
Thomas

I use my phone via original Bluetooth on the car. I don't use zlink anymore. As I have the headunit online it makes it easier to use gmaps etc directly.
Do you have a SIM card installed? Does it work? My one does not connect as there is no apn and I cannot set new one. Did you bought it from coika?

i use only zlink...because i like the home of carplay..i don't use the sim card ...yes i bought from coika by aliexpress. for me you need disable original bluetooth of car..and use only headunit..one question..but the our unit is mtcd?
I don't know who is the main manufacturer. Coika says they are the own manufacturers. But don't belieb them. Struggling with the service people since days... Apps are closing after you switch to car system... bluetooth is only working with mobile phone...no obd device etc... SIM card is not working...but they keep me waiting
Similar unit here (Mercedes version):
Version: ZLH_BZ_OS_1.80
MCU: ZLH_BZL221030A_8581_13
Android version 12 (fake - it's 10 - see below)
More info in attached photos.
The 8888 code gets you into factory settings, as in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-not-fyt-based-read-first-post-first.4525675/
I installed the "Fake Device Test" app and it closes after 1 or 2 seconds (possible sabotage by the device?) but I managed to get the OS info by quickly flicking down the screen while videoing it, then playing back in slow motion. This confirmed the Android API level as 29 (ie Android 10). It also seems to confirm the claimed 8GB RAM and 1920x720 screen are correct.
I want to have a poke around with ADB and busybox, but so far haven't been able connect. The unit claims to be rooted.
Wireless Android Auto works, but one minor annoyance is that my phone seems to give up on Android Auto before the unit is ready to connect. A quick toggle of bluetooth and reconnect to the unit once it's ready is necessary. Also, you need to use a cable for AA when the ZLink app on the device is set to HD - wireless AA on HD delivers a pillarboxed display.
And despite all the images on AliExpress showing 5 icons per page in the launcher, I've only got 3 per page. Is this launcher configurable?
I don't know why exactly, but I have a nagging suspicion that the screen might be a lower resolution than reported, I need to see what the kernel/sysfs says. Do these units have a dmesg somewhere? Or could there be a problem caused by the screen being reported as only 7 inches, as I saw in the output of one of the System Info apps I tried? (Screen is actually 10.25 inches.
One thing I really want to do is get a full backup in case of future problems. Is using TWRP possible on these devices? There is a 1.5 GB "update.zip" on the internal storage, I need get a copy and examine it.
Investigations continue, I'll report back. In the meantime, does anyone have any thoughts on the above?
