Erisin ES8990A - BIG issue

So I just bought this Erisin ES8990A from AliExpress and installed it today. I went to Google Play and downloaded an app and ever since I tried to open that app (DashCommand), Ive had nothing but issues. I don't know if this app caused the issue or if it was just a coincidence. Now, when I turn the unit on, I am greeted with "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" every time I boot up. Ill hit ok then it will finally bring back the UI after a few seconds. If I try to launch almost any app other than what came with the radio though, I get "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" again. However after this happens, I have to pull the power on the unit because at this point I just have a black wallpaper and can't load anything. I really wanted this to work so I could use digital gauges with DashCommand in my Lotus but it seems either this unit is a lemon or it needs to be refreshed. I am new to Android so don't have any idea of what to do and figured Id post so I could get advice of how to fix this without losing any of the radio apps the unit came with.

So I found out the reason for the System UI crashing. As soon as I unplugged the USB -> OBD 2 cable, everything functioned correctly. I guess this radio doesn't support USB host. OBD Wifi and Bluetooth works fine and Dash Command is working as it should.

Never heard of anybody trying OBDII over USB on these units, but it's good to know you fixed it and especially that you came back to write the fix in case it happens to somebody else

In fact, it works. With Torque Pro and DashCommand.
But you need an USB based on FTDI or Prolific chipset if I remenber correctly.
I have a Huifei Rk3066 800*600, with Malasyk Rom. But it worked with all the roms I tried.

Hi, i just purchased the same unit Erisin ES8990DE and was wondering how to get it connected to my ELM 327 -OBD2 bluetooth dongle in my car..
I am using Torque Pro in the unit and it cannot find the dongle since it's not paired with the unit? It can only see my cell phone, which has been paired through the bluetooth-handsfree menus..
So my question is, how do i pair the unit with the dongle? I cannot find a menu in the unit where i could search for the dongle/pair it... And i cannot use the BT handsfree menu since it only receives the pairing, i cannot search devices with that..
Maybe there is a software i could use for the pairing, or can it be done through the normal menus?
Thanks,
Ville

U need to override BT and add the name OBDII. You do that via the Xposed(i think its called like that)
This is why the device is looking for the OBD only and not for OBDII.

Ok, thanks for the reply. Infact, i already bought a Wifi OBDII-dongle that works with the unit but i'll give this a try too.

I am having the same issue. The Erisin 2698 does not see the OBDII adapter in the Bluetooth list so it cannot be paired and used in the Torque app. The OBDII adapter can connect to a Android tablet fine. You mention Xposed to override the BT - how does that work? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Eonon Android 5.1.1 bluetooth issues & canbus issues

hi guys
new to the forum, hopefully someone will be able to help me
my unit has stock MTCC-KLD6-V2.97 Aug 02 2016 with a RK3188 and 1024x600 screen
Firstly the Bluetooth is not working, quite a lot of apps hang at the part where it try's to turn the BT on, especially one app i really need to work.
I honestly don't know what model of BT chip is installed in the head unit, apparently its BT 4.0 as listed on there website
I have been into the factory menu and changed the BT from WQ_BC6 to WQ_BC6B (as suggested somewhere in this forum) but it has made no change and the BT is still hanging at powering on.
Eonon have told me that the Bluetooth only work with devices that don't require a pin and the radar detector device i need to connect does not require a pin but still it does not work.
Not quite sure if eonon has set the setting wrong and i need to change it or i need to goto a custom rom or I need to pull the unit apart to find out.
Found someone else having trouble getting there ALPconnect app to work aswell on these units, in know ALPconnect wont work on older unit like the 4.4.4 as they only had BT 2.0 and the ALP BT only supports 4.0, but this android unit has 4.0 so it should not be a problem but it is.
sterod said:
The app I use, ALPConnect, does the exact same thing. Fortunately, the hardware on mine includes a hardwired speaker and GPS setup that work standalone. The benefit of the app was to get a nice big visual notification of a trap, as it would come into focus, duck the audio and play an alarm. It would also report the frequency of the radar and the type of laser hitting me. While I can get by without all that, I can't have the music blaring like I usually do, as the little speaker is only so loud and the Joying head unit doesn't have Mute Input wire to duck the audio.
While this is going slightly off topic, you may want to look into the AL Priority, it can interface with your V1 too and you will also gain laser protection. This thing has saved my a** countless times and paid for itself already many times over.

Secondly the control menu in the android head unit for accessing the cars buttons via cambus does not work, all steering wheels button seem to communicate back and work, but i cannot set my clock on my mazda 3.
Also have noticed that the radio wont mute when notification occur or when using other apps like google maps, no way to set the different volumes in this stock rom. Have played around with the factory menu volumes but it makes no diffidence.
Is it viable and worth changing to a different ROM, like Malaysk? or should i message eonon?
any help would be much appreciated
thanks

I'm having exactly the same issue with a Pumpkin MTCC-KLD6-V2.91. (RK3188/1024x600)
The device I want to pair with appears in Bluetooth settings (with a phone icon?) but connecting to it does nothing. It's just a Bluetooth SPP device, like so many other devices.
Malaysk's ROM (from 7/25) doesn't change anything here.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Waiting on a reply from Eonon, but initial news is not good.
Some serious BT issues in this model the MTCC
Anyone know if any Malaysk's Rom's avalable for the MTCC-KLD6-V2.91 that have no BT issues

I'm having the same issue, though my unit (MTCC KLD6) does not show any devices at all to pair with, and the car unit does not appear on my phone.
I'm wondering - if I take a usb BT dongle and attach it to the usb cable, would that work?

I think it might be another issue with your BT, it should connect to your phone at very least.
Have you had a look in your factory menu to see if the MCU has the Bluetooth option set?
Password for me was 126
Unfortunately the unit does not support external USB Bluetooth and probably never will, unless the manufacturer MTC/Klyde adds the required drivers to the unit or a Awesome developer by some stroke of luck here adds it to the unit. I doubt to see the feature in this unit

Thanks for the reply. Yes, i checked to make sure Bluetooth was enabled in the system settings. I've tried a few of them (change setting, reboot, attempt pairing), i guess the next step is to try them all one by one to rule that out. I've sent an email to the seller to see if they have any ideas.

The vendor told me to connect the Key-1 & Key-2 wires from the canbus to the car, not sure why they'd think that would solve BT issues?

Did this fix the issue? I'm unable to see any Bluetooth devices and other Bluetooth devices don't see it.

Sorry to dig up an old thread
I have the Eonon GA2180a (android 10) - and having similar issues to here
I want to pair a bluetooth remote (read, steering wheel controls) to the head unit, but the bluetooth search just shows blank! I can connect to it using my phone but it appears some things are hidden to connect to with these android units? Looks like the bluetooth 'app' is the only way to connect too, theres nothing in the android settings to access a bluetooth menu or anything.
Did anyone get anywhere with this ?
cheers

Eonon GA6150 BlueTooth question

Hello xda people!
I recently purchased an eonon head unit for my E46 316i from ebay. Specifically a GA6150 (rk3188), which was sold together with a reverse camera.
I am really happy with my order, and pleased with the HU's performance. I managed to connect succesfully my OBD adapter, my bluetooth phone and my wifi hotspot and all is working great.!
Although, I found out something which bothers me. I have purchased a Bluetooth RGB LED controller from ebay, in order to DIY install some LEDs in the interior of the car, and I wanted to control them from my eonon android HU. I can control them through my S7 Edge Android phone via the app called Happy Lighting. I have found out that the manufacturer of these controllers is called Triones. So my problem is, that when I open the app, it asks me to turn on the bluetooth, and allows me to press one of two buttons, allow and deny. If I press allow, a message will appear saying: "Turning on Bluetooth" or something like that, with a spinning wheel, indefinately. It will not stop and it will stay like this all the time, making the app useless, making me press home button to exit. All this happens, even though I know that bluetooth is actually on (I havent yet found an on/off switch for Bluetooth, so I suppose it is always on). If I press deny, then I can enter the app, but I am not able to see any of the bluetooth controllers, is there any way, to make the app think that the bluetooth is on? Or actually turn it off or anything? Would you please help me figure out what should I do? And one last question, is how can I change my screen orientation from landscape to portrait?
I will attach a photo of the details for the version of my Head Unit.
This is the link of the HU I purchased from ebay: http://r.ebay.com/aegMSa
And this is the link to the controller: http://r.ebay.com/aDfflI
While this is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qh.Happylightgoogle&hl=en
Thank you very mych for your time!

Yep had 3 Paypal disputes with Eonon about that issue a year ago on a MTCB unit, I would imagine it would be the same with the MTCD
I think they route all Bluetooth information through the MCU and use non standard configuration of their Bluetooth drivers. So applications that ask to turn the BT on cannot as it is not configured that way.
This is something they were not willing to fix or were unable to.

First of all thank you for your reply, i really appreciate it.!
Second, damn it. Damn them! That is really frustrating, i've managed to find a bit more info digging around here and in russian forums. It's sad that i cannot use anything else via bluetooth other than a few OBD adapters and my phone..
I will shortly contact Eonon for my MCU update file and see if anything can be done there. Otherwise, i will see if anything can be fixed via a custom rom and xposed stuff.
P.S.: If there was any other android HU that could support full BT, i would gladly return my Eonon and buy that instead..

Joying intel Sofia units is a bit better with the BT, but do some research first.
Good luck with Eonon
From memory it to do with kernel drivers and BT stack and they would not fix
Also be careful with Eonon and returns, additionally PayPal protection does not cover car audio products.

Digging up an old thread
I would like to connect bluetooth accessories to my eonon new android 10 head unit (2020) - the above looks familiar as i cannot seem to 'find' the devices when searched for using the strange bluetooth 'app'.
Is there anything that can be done? I'd like to add a bluetooth remote (alternatiev to steering wheel controls) - but its not detected by the HU

How do I get a Bluetooth OBDII scanner to pair on this Android 10 head unit?

I just bought this Android 10 head unit from eBay, which claims OBDII support, and even shows a ELM327 Bluetooth scanner in the description. I have that exact same scanner. Problem is, I have no idea how to connect it to this unit. The seller isn't helping. I think it's a language issue, because he keeps answering in ways that have noting to do with my question.
If I go to Bluetooth, there is no option to list Bluetooth devises. I can connect my phone via Bluetooth without any problems, because I do that on my phone's end first. But with the ELM327, I can't do that (there are no buttons on it, you just plug it in). I need to do it from the head unit first, but there is no options that I can see. I installed Torque, but it won't work without first pairing the ELM327.
I know the ELM327 works for a fact in my car's OBDII. The pull-down menu doesn't list Bluetooth devices either. If I go into Settings/Bluetooth, the only options are auto connect and auto answer. Is this an Android 10 problem? Am I over-looking something? Please help. I may have to return it for false advertising.

Try going into the extra settings with pin 8888 206 5678 and under one of the menus you can select other options to put on your menu screen. Look for obd and select that. You can then pair from this

How do you go into extra settings? I've looked everywhere, does it specifically say "extra settings"?
Could this menu be it?

The little settings cog on that screen. Press that and enter one of the codes. Probably 8888. In this menu you need to find the options to add to your menu screen. You need ‘obd’
That’s how I did it

I have a similar question as well, i have been in my extra settings and I cant find any bluetooth

If your referring to pairing to an obd device then you need to add ‘obd’ to your menu screen. I’m not sure which setting it’s under, if you have a look through you’ll find it

honestly I could careless about the odb2 I am just trying to connect different things to my unit, i tried headphones, odbii and the main thing I want connected is vero vn7500..its a ham radio

The question I think we should all be asking is, what version of Elm 327 does our head units require, and what version does our OBDii supply. Is it, ELM 327 V1.4, V1.5, V2.1, etc. I've read that V2.1 doesn't work well. Also, my phone uses BLE 4.0. That seems to work with my ELM 327 OBDII from Obdation. Here's a blog: https://blog.caristaapp.com/the-truth-about-obd-adapters-e98ddf022bf8 Both the article and the store I bought the elm 327 mini says something about Low Power. Well, the BLE 4.0 is Low Power. How can we determine if the Head unit, app and elm 327 supports low power or not?

That's not correct.
The truth about OBD adapters is not in that blog. These obd adapters are knock offs, using stolen IP/code.
The real issue is that the head unit resellers code code the units to require a specific obd knock off adapter that they sell.
New member, the information is covered in the forums, we can chose to read it, or not.

MarchNZ, thank you for your comment. I stand corrected. So, what's our recourse? Do we buy better products, root the device or give in to the cheap suppliers? While I've been researching the cause and fix of this problem, I went back to the supplier and asked how much their obdii adapter is. Honestly I bought an obdii from Obdation for $10. Bought the HU for $179 (dashradio on eBay). They want me to buy their obdii adapter for $69.00. The picture looks exactly the same. Have no way of knowing what's on their obdii. Is their away to see what's on it, like an Eprom reader or something?
Already ordered VieCar BlueTooth 4.0 Dual obdii adapter. My guess, which is probably pretty good, that won't work either. Thanks in advance for everyone's advice!

Genuine type OBD adapters exist, such as an OBDLINK type, SX = USB or LX = BT.
They may not work with cheap Chinese origin greybox Android head units without mods.
My unit is an MTCD type, using a USB OBDLink SX (USB), connects every-time and is blazing fast. The SX also works but is not as fast or reliable to connect.

Hi, merry christmas to all!
I have a similar problem.
I am trying to install a Android 10 10" radio in my car.
The seller (CN) has no idea (they only want to sell, my guess)
I can't get any OBD dongle paired with the radio.
I found the hidden settings for BT by using the search bar in settings,
I set the code from 0000 to 1234, also unmarked the "auto connect" so I get the code input requester.
But while I am typing in the code, it disapears and tells me, code is not correct.
You can try it as fast you want, also to the point you only have to klick "ok" --- but it will not work.
I also tried a USB keyboard, so that onscreen keyboard will not interrupt.
Didn't help.
I show it in the video
Does anyone an idea? A special App?
Why do they make it so hard? They know, that many people want to use the Android device like it is able as a phone or tablet, specialy in a car with a OBD2.
IMO that’s deliberate with a bad mind making it harder and harder to use and config a system.
Then we also don't need the Playstore anymore, just bloodware the derives and the user has to eat it like it is. We are closer and closer to this situations.
What do the developer think? ANdroid is gettig worse and worse in the free usability.
Btw. my dongels I own myself:
- KONNWEI KW902
- vgate iCar Pro OBD2 Bluetooth 4.0(BLE)
And they work with all phones, tablets, laptops - also with DDT4ALL and other programs with no problems.
THANKS!

Even though my car doesn't seem to be connected or at least doesn't show it in the bar the odb2 works with the torque pro app.
And the only way I could reach the Bluetooth settings was with a Menu entry in the fcc launchers settings...
But that didn't help either because I didn't even get a "enter pairing code" prompt.
maybe that helps too...

These Apps also don't help in any way, as the system behind can't understand the dongles.
Is this the product of incompetence from the Android Developer or did the Chinese srew it up?

Newer Joying head unit

Does anyone have this newer Joying 8.8" widescreen single DIN head unit with the new UI, JY-HOS01N4GS-2 ?
I just got it in and am trying to set it up before I install it in the car. Can it be modded or customized? While this new UI isn't that bad looking, it's a little more modern, but it does have this damn clock on the right side taking up real estate on the screen and I can't get rid of it. I tried using another launcher but the clock still stays there. I also can't get it to connect to my BT keyboard even though it sees it. Nor can I get it to see a universal USB cam which I want to use for a rear view mirror display. I did get it to recognize the universal non-Joying internal sensor TPMS unit I got as well as XTRON front DVR cam (I had to use the program on the XTRON cam to see it though) and an XTRON backup cam.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction for modding this unit?

Anyone? I did find an app that can see the universal cams now but still need help with the other stuff. Plus I want to change the boot logo to an animated one I made.

I don't have such a unit, so I would not know about your Launcher, but it has been mentioned before in the forum. Please search a bit more.
You can only connect phones and approved devices to your device on BT. See this post and further for a possible modification.
Most universal usb webcams are not supported.

Why the hell do they do that? If I had known that before hand I would've probably went with another unit like an ATOTO or a Dasaita. I went with this one because the widescreen 8.8 IPS display fits my car perfectly plus it has a 4g module built in. (grumble)

Dasaita is microntek. All those units have crippled bluetooth as well. It is something the Chinese do to promote selling their own stuff, I guess.
No idea about Atoto though.
Does your keyboard have a usb-dongle? As far as I understood, keyboards with a usb-dongle do work. All BT equipment relying on the host bluetooth are hit-and-miss, and almost always miss.

No. It uses whatever's is built in to what you want to connect to I guess. I do have a Bluetooth CSR 4.0 dongle and tried using that on it but I can't see where it recognizes it.
The HU sees the keyboard it just won't connect to it. I damn well better not have any problems connecting to my OBDLink MX when I put it in the car. ?

Ok I tried what they said to do in that post but it didn't work. Not sure I did it right. It appears all I had to do was copy those two files in that bluetoothsetting.zip to a clean SD card put it on the HU and reboot it.
If that's what I was supposed to do then no luck. I have read that the firmware on these widescreen units are slightly different than the other Intel Airmont units.
