Hi this is my first post here after it being recommended from another forum
I’ve recently purchased a android unit for a 2012 Range Rover evoque and the USB port is not working. It’s the only one and there is power, it’s able to charge devices but I cannot use a memory stick or my CarPlay adapter
I’ve attached some photos of the system information from factory settings and a photo of usb device test
If anybody has any ideas on how I can fix this is would be hugely appreciated!
If you need anymore information about the unit just ask
Anybody have any ideas at all?

Seems to be a hardware issue. You should get in contact with the seller to get this fixed.
I’ve tried contacting the seller and unfortunately they are not interested/don’t want to help
Then open a dispute and send the unit back.

The last option is to connect a small USB hub but I would be sending it back because who knows down the track what other issues may arise.
I put a small hub in the middle of my center console so that all the USB's can be inserted at anytime.
Sending it back/disputes/refunds etc are not a option. I’m stuck with the unit and I’d really like to find a way to fix it

So how to find a way to fix it if the data connection is broken in a forum?
This is no software issue. It´s a real hardware issue.
Sending this crap back is the only option, if you don´t want pay for a repair at a local specialist.
@sandpita
Sorry, but a USB hub does not make any sense if the USB does not work at all, just spending 5V, but no data. Didn´t you read his posting good enough?
I know from past experience with Linux/android boxes/libreelec/coreelec that 9 times out of ten a USB port that has 5v but no data is normally a software, firmware or kernel issue. I was told this and another forum would be the best place to get advice for these types of devices. Of course if sending it back was a option I wouldn’t even be here

My apologies, I didn't read it correctly and relax it was a simple error on my side.
Hey , i think i have a very similar version of this unit .
Mine is a new version for a 2012 RRS
I also had this issue ! , i resolved it by looking at the cable that goes into rear of the unit and one of the pins came unclipped. it happened after removing it so many times. Pushing it in fixed the issue.
Also, If this dont fix it. Enable developer mode . Looks for USB settings in there, theres an option in there that can change it from USB charging mode to data
Issues so far with mine
OEM interface didnt work - Update from seller
Overheating - Update from seller
Mic not working - Added a USB microphone
GPS signal weak - New GPS antenna
I am onto the last problem which is stopping me putting it in the car.
When ever i use Bluetooth Phone, I get a relay clicking sound from inside the unit . I then cant hear anything from the person on the other side. When i end the call it then clicks again and the stereo starts playing.
I also get the same clicking sound from Google Voice
Could you show me a pic of your phone app on your unit ? also.. Do you get what i mentioned above ?
Hi thanks for the reply ! I have very similar issues to yours!
- original car menus show a black screen with the digital version of the physical buttons it replaced Down the sides
-Reverse camera is also a black screen
-Usb not working as mentioned- I’ll try your cable fix though I’ve already enabled developer settings
-I haven’t had any overheating issues but I haven’t been on any journeys longer than a hour or so yet
Microphone is working ok and the Bluetooth audio and phone all work ok
I will add some photos tomorrow when I’m back with the car
My seller is useless and won’t help at all they simply ignore me, what update did they send you? My vehicle is a 2012 evoque dynamic lux

Hey Guys,
I just bought a brand new Kenworth W900, and it has android auto (or something mimicing it) built in... A panapacific dea600... the major problem is it super kludge... amongst being terribly locked down, i cannot connect to an ad hoc wifi thru my windows 10 laptop (that is tethered to my S6 with easy tether)... my tablet can connect to the ad hoc no problems, and my stereo can see the network but cannot connect to it for some reason (i REALLY need to update the trucks GPS maps, and have you tried to use a truck stops wifi? (like dial up))... id really just like access to the OS or another launcher so i can add some apps that i need (no not facebook or stuff like that) and perhaps root and rom it....
its running android 4.2.2... and i can get you the entirely too long software version
Its sad really because this could be cutting edge stuff, but someone higher up had to come up with ways to neuter this damn thing... and look i get that there are things i shouldnt have access to while driving, but it DOES have android web browser built in so its not like they dont want us using it...
i dont expect the world as this unit has only been shipping with trucks for a few months... and many of you may not have come across it... but perhaps it shares hardware with another system and panapacific just stole it (it HAS happened many times)
thanks guys and look forward to replies before i finish going insane

DEA600 - SmartDisplay for Automotive Infotainment
Hey,
I just came across your note while search for this product - I was the software architect/tech lead for the supplier company providing the Android port and the Freescale SOM component of the display screen on this product line - although moved on shirtly after the system went to mass production. - it is awesome to see someone here discuss it!
You are very correct on a lot of you assumptions and assessments. it was a very ambitious project that really tried to leverage as much of what Android was capable of at the time it was planned, but tuned to work as a smart display for commercial vehicles.
The display is only a part of a system of components. The display runs a port of Android 4.2.2 - but highly tailored to its environment - pairs with the Delphi radio unit (as a peer, not as an accessory) and is toghtly coupled to the unit in production. as a security measure.
unfortunately for what you are looking for, though much of the upgrade and app installation capabilities have been locked down to prevent side loading or execution of "unauthorized" apps that don't have special keys fro. the OEM or manufacturer. even if installed, the system manager will kill any apps that are launched without keys.
you may be able to get a developer key from the OEM but I don't know how they chose to mange that in the final system.
thanks for the posting, though - it was a small run comparatively for android systems but it was a pretty damn cool system with what we did get working....
I would be happy to discuss more if you want. - with what I can....

DEA600
hi there
i have same head unit in my 389 pride and class peterbilt, for the map part, that you can update by connecting it to your phones internet, either wifi hot spot if not then just connect it with bluetooth and use bluetooth tethering of phone and PAN of your DEA600, but main problem in the system is that you cant put a single thing without pulling breaks, and u cant download a single file by any means, it just displays error that unfortunately process.android. stopped or browser has stopped or settings has stopped. if any one figured out how to download anythimg in this little thing. please update
hello there. I have T-680 with DEA600. I had exactly the same problem and ended up taking my truck to a dealer. it turned out to be defected radio. After it was replaced, it would connect to a hotspot no problem ( im using htc 10).
I have the same unit in my W 900. It is a huge disappointment in many ways. First of all just like any factory radio I have ever seen in a commercial truck the sound quality is horrible. Second I don't like the fact that it locks so many functions when I am driving. I have a passenger that rides with me most of the time that is perfectly capable of safely operating those functions while I drive. This makes the GPS almost useless for the way I like to use a GPS. Good thing I still have my Garman. But really my biggest disappointment is the fact that I cannot get the gauges to work properly. It states that I can choose from over 30 gauges to be displayed however I have been unable to find any way to change from the six default gauges that are there. I have read the manual but it does not explain how to open the menu that lets you choose which gauges are there. I don't know if my unit is defective like one of a red one of yours was or if it just hasn't come out in an update yet. Also if I am reading this right it looks like my display and gauges function are tied to the stereo which means if I replace the head unit I'm going to lose that function. Am I reading that correctly?
Hey guys so a friend of mine has the DEA601 in his new truck and drives him nuts that the passenger cannot control things when its going faster than 5km hour (his old Peterbuilt worked fine).
I'm a software eng and would like to find out how to disable the Distracted Driver feature (like you can do in settings on many other Android Auto ROM's like Honda). What are my options here? a) Make a whole new ROM (but how to do that?) b) try to hexedit the existing ROM and find where the 5 km value is and modify it c) add an add-on app somehow to override this limit or d) other???
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I found out in order for the guages to work I need an $800 module my truck didn't come with. Now my biggest problem is the technology seems to have stagnated. The software on my phone and tablet are no longer very comparable with Android 4.2. I try my iPhone and my Android tablet and neither will play Pandora consistently. I am forced to use Bluetooth which looses sound quality on an already low quality stereo. I really wish Kenworth had spent their R &D on making their trucks compatible with idatalink like most aftermarket stereos use.
At this point I am torn between installing a hideaway marine stereo with a remote display and leaving this POS Pans Pacrapic as a display with nono sound. Or installing a line converter and amp and dealing with this clunky software. I wish someone would make a rom to upgrade this thing.
Looks like the Mfg won this round

I'm driving one of these trucks also and I keep checking this post but I guess we havent incentivized anyone who cud help yet!
The electrical switch must be located behind the air brakes control knob. I'm sure if you pull the stereo out you will find the wires that control the disabling feature. The unit tries to "update" when connected to wifi. Maybe someone can use wireshark and grab the update packet and modify it with root installed. I'm ok with trying anything short of taking the unit apart and Jtag the firmware directly. Would love to see one taken apart.

This is a 2+ year old thread being g responded to.
What is your point? 2years later and still no solution to the problem. I ran across this thread of people discussing the same problems I'm having with the radio unit. If you got something usefull to add to this discussion then please feel free otherwise you don't need to acknowledge when what was posted that helps me null with my problem.
Anyone here figure anything out?
still nothing
Hello! So I have little tech experience but I am willing to work with someone here to sort this out. Got a 17 w900 that I put a aftermarket double din in and retained smart nav for the gauges. What I did find was the screen (not the radio) gets a input from the wire harness off the ecm to give data to the screen. So I’ll attach a picture of the plug and maybe we can use this plus find it’s female counterpart then get the other end to plug into a maestro box? My Sony doesn’t have maestro. I do have a pioneer that does but can’t justify the cost being the Guinea pig. I’ve already been one of the first to get the tilt column to drop LOW and managed to fit a true 7” double din where the stupid nav was.
Hi Forum,
yesterday i started playing around with my new head unit. I got a great help from typos1, i want to thank him again for all he has done! First, i updated my MCU to 2.91. This worked withaout any problems. After that i flashed the custom rom from Malaysk. In my opinion he did a great work BUT for me, everything was a bit slower, everything looked not that harmonic. I decided to install Booroondook's custom rom. What should i say: works like a charm! Absolutely brilliant! Looks amazing and works quite fast!
The Details about my Unit:
Naviskauto C0255 - MTCC KLD6 v2.91/ - RK8133
There are a few questions now and i hope you can help me...
1. 3G Stick
At the moment, the HU gets internet from my smartphone peria z5 compact. I tried to connect a Huawei surfstick in one of the two cables "3G/USB", nothing happens. I tried to connect a 1and1 MT10 surfstick, same same... I've read from other users that they successful connect 1nad1 surfsticks out of the box. Do i have to start the stick somewhere?
I ordered this one now, specially designed for my unit:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0192YOBLI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I hope this one will work. If not, my idea is to set up a Accesspoint in my car and let the unit connect to this AP. I also ordered this one:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00634PLTW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I don't want to use my smartphone as access point for different reasons. Do you have any idea?
2. Microphone
The unit has a build in microphone ANS a 2,5 jack for external Mic. The build in microphone is absolutely bull****, i am not able to have phone calls, no one understands me. If i connect the external mic, nothing happens. I've read a lot of stuff about the mic problems and if i got it correctly, there is no chance to stop the internal mic... and as long as it isn't stopped, the external will not work. Some wrote that they work BOTH TOGETHER but this is wrong! One solution is, as far as i understood what i read, to open the unit and cut off the red wire from the internal mic. When cutted of, the external should work. Can someone confirm this? If yes, is there no chance to say android to stop the internal mic?
I ordered this one:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00XL1VLJY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Its a stereo mic, i hope this will work one day at the jack port of the unit because originally there was a mono mic included in the package.
3. Buttons and illumination
My buttons do not glow in the dark! I can go to settings and choose a button color but when i push on a color, the buttons on the left only work for 2 seconds. Even if i press on "save" after choosing, the buttons do not glow. Does anyone has an idea? The buttons should always glow! Did i miss to connect a cable?
I hope anyone can help me with those 3 questions... Would be great. Sorry, i am an absolutely beginner and im so glad to have this forum. Even sorry if anything is already answered and i did not found it...
Thanks a lot!
Greetings, Mirko
PS: I want to say a special thanks to Booroondook. It's amazing how people sacrifice time for others!
Theres a solution for the poor mic in the MTCB hardware mod section.
In the wiki (in my signature) theres a guide for 3G dongles.
Go into settings/factory settings (password 126) and tick the box to turn on the LEDs.
OK, i don't have the USB Stick with me but i will try tomorrow.
I cant' find a thread concerning the microphone hardware mod, the search function does not work here. Do you have a link?
The LED's work now
Thanks

Joying JY-VOS01N4GS w/ an SC-9853i 1.8GHz Octa-core, installed in a 1991 Toyota MR2 with a Honda K24A2 turbo engine swapped into it, controlled by an ECU called a Hondata KPro V4.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/143309152617
I can install and run Hondata or RealDash apps on the stereo without issue, but I can't get it to connect to the ECU itself so I'm looking for suggestions. I've got a $20 no name tablet or a 7+ yrs old Samsung Note 3....all connect to the KPro without issue. Hondata, RealDash and Torque apps all connect without issue on the tablet or phone. New $350+ stereo...keeps giving me failed to connect error.
I'm open to rooting if needed, installing a different Bluetooth app, I have the pin to access developer options, etc....I just need it to connect and work.

It will not pair. Joying (actually FYT/SYU) crippled the bluetooth on their units. You can only pair with phones and a few OBD and TPMS BT devices.
For the rest: nothing.
And that is done onto the lowest compiled level including the MCU. Other drivers/apps/kernels/whatever will not work.
I've been writing Joying and they offered to sell me their OBDII dongle at a discount. I explained to them shortly before writing this post that the car doesn't have an OBDII port since it's a 91, lightly explained the engine sway, but I haven't heard anything yet. Why would they go through all that effort...just to force us to buy their $15 OBDII dongle?
What about universal Bluetooth dongle plugged into one of the USB cords? Or maybe even USB to USB? The ECU has a USB port that I use when I connect to my laptop to run KPro Manager (a Windows PC based program) and the RealDash app on Android does give me the option of Bluetooth, USB or serial input. I'm currently monitoring from this tablet which is completely illegible while driving, needs to be manually powered on/off and then reconnected to Bluetooth...not being able to see the gauges on a much larger screen and automatically reconnect when I start the car crushes EVERY reason why I bought this stereo. There's gotta be a way.
Wrote a long reply, stupid token expired...I'm gonna try this.
https://www.hondata.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18829
Bluetooth dongle didn't work, but I can't confirm if it's a dongle issue since I can connect to it but then the Hondata app says "Ignition not on" when it is. Nevertheless today I played around with the GF's cwr who has a Joying JY-HOS02P4 screen in hers, it's only 3 months old, and it'll connect to my Hondata just fine! Would it be as simple as taking the Bluetooth APK from her car and installing it on mine?
Bump for help...there's gotta be a way :/
Bumping again, hoping maybe someone can help.
Following - need this for ECUTEK bluetooth adapter in my GTR, otherwise the screen is worthless...

Like mentioned a couple of posts above. Joying crippled Bluetooth and there is simply no "normal" bluetooth stack.
You cannot alter the current BT app as it won't be signed correctly anymore and it will not even be visible anymore.
You cannot add another BT app as that will not have the correct signing either.
Your question is not new. This BT "not being able to pair" is already an issue since 2016. You would be the first to find a solution.
The only thing you can try is what I described in this post, based on info from ojuniour.
Having said that: you should also search the rest of the forum and not only stick to your own question. Otherwise you might already have tried what I described. It might work, it might not.
Surfer, thank you so much for the reply. I've read in depth and was fearful of that, but will try what is in the thread you linked. If you'd be so kind, couple questions that you may have answers to:
- I have a sofia 9853 with android 8.1 (upgrading to 9.0), does that make things better worse or same for the bluetooth situation?
- I've seen some talk on much older threads of using Comfast® CF-WU725B as an external/usb bluetooth solution? Did this (or an alternative dongle) ever or does it still work?
- I've also seen talk of used xposed modules to add bluetooth devices to the whitelist - is there any truth to this?
Surfer, thanks in advance, this is for a tesla screen in a GTR. By removing the stock screen we lose a ton of critical info that can only be gotten back through ecutek, which currently only has a bluetooth solution for android.
M5James - sorry for hijacking your thread, but hopefully this helps you as well

1. There is no Sofia 9853. There is a Intel Sofia AND an Intel SC9853i. Those are 2 different CPUs needing different ROMs.
2. No idea. Like mentioned: an external BT dongle has not worked till now, but I have never heard of that Confast one.
3. Xposed is not supported on the 9853i. Not on Android 8.1 and neither on 9.0
@surfer63, thank you again, your thread here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...qa-tips-info-roll-joying-fyt-sc9853i-t3979377) helped me tremendously
@m5james, on a whim i plugged in ecutek to usb via the usb mini port, and shockingly there is support for it. Maybe try the same with Hondata if there is an sort of interface on it.

Fair enough...honestly like 10 +/-yrs ago I was WAY more into custom ROMs, baking, etc etc but nowadays I feel like it's over my head again. The only reason why I asked about using other BT versions from other Joying devices is because the GF's similarily aged stereo was able to connect, but I understand the signing thing since our two stereos don't share the same OS and CPU.

Do you have a pic of how you physically hooked it up? I haven't touched much on this subject since my original post and honestly don't recall the connections at the moment but I do recall mine having a square port (I don't know it's official name) that allows me to connect via USB to a laptop. I think I even tried connecting directly to the stereo that way but no luck.
Hondata runs on the screen easily in both portrait and landscape mode but I prefer RealDash, which at doesn't like portrait mode...I'm hoping it's something I can adjust to fit myself since RealDash allows for customisable gauges.
@m5james that is a micro usb port you have, try connecting it to a usb port on the head unit (same way you would a laptop) and open your hondata app - with any luck you'll be in business. If one port doesn't work, try the other - good luck
If you guys want to use the bluetooth pairing with basically about anything then buy the "Stop" brand. Unit actually confess with 2 BT models. One for music and phone call, the other one is located in the android bluetooth setting that would enable you to pair with anything.

Wait wait wait. Wait a minute.... Are you saying you are able to get the ecuTek OBD bluetooth to work in wired mode[ to the head unit] without connecting to it wirelessly through bluetooth?
And you are using the ecuTek App?
Hello,
I need some help for my android screen I bought about one month ago, I'm fighting with it to make Bluetooth and sound working...
Can somebody tell me how to activate Bluetooth as it shows not activated even after many factory reset...
And if possible how to change the firmware because not only Bluetooth but all android system seems to be locked...
Below some photos..
By the way, I have also an issue with USB AUX sound : there is 2 seconds of lag and I don't know how to make it works normally.
Thanks for the help

If you bought this new I think the best thing you can do is contact the seller and ask them to replace or refund your money.
I don't think your problem will go away if you have reset it many times already.
If you flash it with a different rom it will invalidate your warranty.

Thanks for your answer but it's from AliExpress, in China so impossible to deal with the seller. I don't think he will refund me or send me new one but I'm trying to open a dispute and I'll see.
But I think I will keep the screen and I really need to change the firmware. If someone just can tell me if it's possible...
As expected, AliExpress asked me to return the screen to the seller with my money...
But I won't lose more money again...so can somebody tell me if it's possible to change the firmware or unlock Android system please ?
Thanks
The "not activated" message does appear when no phone is connected, its just wrong translated, it should say "not connected".
Bluetooth can not be enabled for all devices on this units, it`s only programmed for the default KswBT App.
You have a BMW Snapdragon 625 Headunit with rather old 2.4.5 Software version, i recommend you to check out the F30 Forums, where you will find the latest 3.8.0 Version which has also global Idrive support

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

Hi there, did you have any luck with this? I've just received the same head unit and found the same problem. I've had a quick troubleshoot but haven't had any success so far. Thanks

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

extra settings- 123456
developer mode- 7890(**). (**) is your current time. example ..if u try it at 3.00 o'clock just key in 789003. did u get it?
A generic firmware update for TS10 deviced. (link expires in a week - probably worth somebody reuploading)
TS10.1.2_20210106.173438_THEME1.zip

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!

Do you have any screen shots of the UI and the specs with this ROM?
Is it only suitablefor 6gb / 128 gb models or will the 4gb/64gb models also accept this?

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:
