Evening all.
I have an xtrons 4.4 HU, it's fitted with a canbus decoder in and Audi A4.
The HU came with the steering wheel controls preset, I've tried to map them to add my own touch but I can't. When I go into the steering wheel control option, I operate a key and he screen does not recognise this, I've also tried highlighting a button then trying to use a steeeing wheel button and it still doesn't recognise it.
What ami missing guys? All the YouTube and Google tutorials say to do it how I am!
Thanks.
I have the same issue on a 2012 Mazda 3, the head unit only recognizes a direct voltage input from the steering wheel buttons, yours is probably controlled by the CANBUS, with the head unit, there should be 2 wires (Key1 and Key2), they should be connected to the car wiring I believe. Please wait for someone with more experience to confirm.

From what I've read they are connected through canbus but I have no idea how to work around this. Thanks.
Anyone? Tried downloading the rk1188 headunit app but it does nothing!
interested about!
Anyone please?
Hi All,
Recently purchased and installed a Joying head unit (4GB, PX5 Octa Core) (link to product)
So what are are some of the must have apps or tools to have on the android head unit?
What do you have installed that you could not live without as I only just got it it would be great to hear from people that have had them for longer to see what I should go and install.
I think something to remap keys if you want an extra controller. Voice assistant as well, I use Google now, works great. Bubbleupnp if you plan on using DLNA in the car

Does anyone know of a button remapper that works with steering wheel controls?
I have tried a few of the top ones however they are not picking up the steering wheel controls. Happy to pay for a solution also
What other tools/apps work great also?
I recently installed an android head(from Idoing) unit in my 2016 WRX. The unit has a wheelkey study function which works fine with my steering wheel controls but doesn't allow you to have short and long press capabilities to program different functions. It also doesn't provide an option of programming a back/home button on the steering wheel.
My question is, is there any way to install a different wheelkey study app that would allow me to do so? I used to have a Seicane head unit which did all this in their wheel key study app.
Hi,
I have old cars without steering wheel stereo controls. But maybe some cheap new cars still don't have these, so some may relate.
Universal 2din Head units with px6 4gb and 7" screen (there would be space for more ) don't have skip track/next track button.
I also tried to find if there is way to use some Bluetooth remote with these units, but all info seems to be that it does not work.
I don't want to hard wire controls to steering wheel.
Is there some head unit that I missed? Is there a way to make bluetooth remotes work?
Maybe something with sc9853i has next track button?
BTW i found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wptzk5W6uxI - i did not know there were any px5 with matte screen!
I have a Bosion PX6 Android 10 head unit.
My car is a Toyota Camry 2010 that came with a basic radio with XM radio and the Bosion 10" is an amazing upgrade for this car.
I am having a problem with the steering wheel controls as they don't set up with the button setup in the vehicle setup menu. I have tried many times with different settings.
The buttons on the left side of the steering wheel sort of work, the ones on the right do not seem to work at all.
In the hidden menu the various CANBUS settings don't really make any difference. There's like 10 different Toyota settings but all act the same as setting the Canbus to 0 (no Canbus?).
Anyone have any suggestions to resolve this?
I'm also looking for Bosion contact info or web page.
okay, the key is in the hidden menu or factory menu, you really need to search (depending in the canbus module you have) the car maker and model.
The canbus must show up and report the version.
The menu you find to setup the buttons in the android will never work.
hang in there you'll get it.

It sounds like you know what you are talking about. Fyi that I have been through the hidden menu. When you say the canbus must show up and report the version, I am not clear on what you mean. I have tried all 7 or 8 Toyota canbus configs and when I select any, the phone loads an associated program and reboots. None are really making any difference, always the left buttons kind of work and nothing on the right.
Any suggestions you have would really be appreciated.
Where you see the kernel version, os version and mcu version you must have also canbus version.
Can't show it to you now but you should see something like simple and version as 1.13.something
If nothing is there, the canbus config is not yet correct and radio can't detect correctly the canbus box. But you say that some steering wheel buttons are working. In this case. It seems to me that the canbus module in the radio is not yet updated to your car or the canbus box firmware is also not with a version where your car is supported. Contact the seller and claim if you still have time for it.
UPDATE: added aftermarket canbus box has corrected 90% of the buttons. The remaining button is the Voice button to issue voice commands to the phone. This is not a choice within the head unit button mapping. I suppose I should try a different car selection (?).
Anyone know if there is a website for Bosion for manuals and updates?
I don't think so :/ I've tried to get some answers from manufacturer but they aren't well informed, i think. Or they are not willing to tell a secret :/

Sorry for the delay, I have an aftermarket box from PAC called SW1-RC-1 which works 95% perfectly and allowed me to program the buttons as normal.
I have a 2010 Toyota Camry.
The only issue is the Bosion PX6 Android "10" is that in the setup for the canbus within the head unit, there is no button to map to for the voice button to on the steering wheel. Seems like a very odd issue as the voice button is so normal and I'm still looking for an update or a way to find that button in settings.
