Hi, does anyone know what radio app supports vordon ac-8290 nexus. I don't seem to find one that works. Rds would be a bonus, if it is even possible.

As always: Radio is placed on the main board and Android is just some sort of "monitor" for it and reacts on system internal communication. There is mostly no other radio app which will work with your main board. May be you can try https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...9-intel-ts10-uis7862-and-ts18-uis8151.4024701 if your unit is supported.
Thank you for your reply, but sadly it doesn't work.

Well, but this is not FM/AM, it´s another source. Other that DAB+, he could use as example any Online radio application.... but this does not change the bad FM reception...

Most of the time there is something wrong with the antenna connection.
VW, Audi... with diversity:
If your car has multiple antennas like VW, Audi.... you need to make deeper changes to get a good FM reception, because these units do not support diversity. In this case, you need to search a car shop who is able to disconnect the diversity module and connect one single antenna to the unit. In this case you need to get a good antenna amplifier to get this working.
If your car has no deversity:
These cars have an antenna amplifier which needs just a phantom power adapter to get in between the Radio and the antenna, connected to the amplifier cable of your unit. If there is no, just add it to the cable which is marked as ACC.
DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE CABLE MARKED WITH BAT!
These adapters are really cheap. Don´t buy the cheapest for $5, look for a known supplier.
Before doing anything else, try that out and report back.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I just ordered tha dab+ usb and will try that out. Its not that the FM radio doesn't work, its just the stock radio app is not good, that is why I was looking for an alternative, preferably with RDS and AF which this one does not have, also there is no customization and so on.

In this case you should look for DAB-Z.
This app is hosted in here and the best you can use.... and it´s free.

Hello,
My new 2GB RAM with the Intel SoFIA CPU will be delivered at the end of this week. I am going to install it in my 2010 Subaru WRX STI which already has a GPS Antenna installed (which has worked very well with stock and other aftermarket units).
Unfortunately the connector of the OEM GPS Antenna is quite different from the connection on my soon to arrive Joying unit. I was therefore wondering if it is possible to connect my OEM GPS Antenna using an adapter cable similar to this:
car-solutions.com/nfs/product/832612/image/800/Adapter-for-OEM-GPS-Antenna-Connection-in-Toyota-Lexus-Subaru-Mazda.jpg (sorry not able to post outside links yet)
Has anybody tried this or does anybody know if this could even technically work?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Robert
You get a antenna with the unit right? {EDIT} Sorry, i see you want your own working, but i can garanty you the gps antenna that comes with it is fine!
i used this adapter for my Jeep to Joying:

Yeah, you get an antenna with the unit and I have already hooked it up for testing and as you say it works. Using the original one is a lot more neat and tidy

Thanks, I have ordered an GT5-1PP M grey to SMA male adapter cable from eBay. Hope it fits as I am not a 100% sure if this is the right connector, closest thing I could find though. :good:
Apologize if this is the wrong forum to post this in, but I just installed an Android 8.1 head unit in my car in the USA, and I get great FM reception, but I can't get reception for any AM stations. I disconnected the unit and reconnected my old radio to make sure nothing had changed in the car, and I still got good FM and AM with the old radio, so I know the antenna is good.
Is there a setting in the radio for region (USA, Europe, China, etc) that could affect this? When I scan stations, it seems to be in the right range of frequencies, but doesn't stop on any, and I can't manually force it to a station that I know (950). Instead I can make it go to either 945 or 954. I have searched through all of the menus that I can find, and can't find anything that would allow me to see or change the region.
Thanks in advance - Paul
Update on this issue - I was able to get to the menu to change the radio region:
Car Settings:: About the Device (passcode 8888):: Radio
It was defaulted to Europe - I changed it to America 1 and America 2 which at least allowed me to directly tune to a couple of strong AM stations that I know, but I still had no reception. Everything else about the unit works well. I am trying to get them to send me a replacement thinking it is something in the hardware, but please let me know if anyone has any other ideas on things to check.
I have this problem too. Great FM reception, VERY poor AM reception. I've tried all country codes (Australia is not available). I've asked vendor for a solution. Still waiting.
Did you get a solution?
I had this too until I realized that my car has a built in car antenna amplifier (most cars now do) and it needs to be powered. Without power to it, you'll barely get reception. So I connected the antenna amplifier to the powered antenna output from the head unit and that improved it some, but still it wasn't great. Then I checked the voltage from that wire I found that the head unit only puts out 10.6 volts instead of the required 12. So I hooked the power antenna to the same 12V power coming from the car that feeds the head unit and presto, now I get normal radio reception like I used to.
This constantly amazes me, why do so many people not understand about the aerial amplifiers used on most cars now? When you swap out a manufacturer specific unit, make sure all the wires are connected, they're there for a reason!
yes, but most people don't realize that the lead from the head unit that says ANTENNA is not suitable to power the antenna. You must use the 12V power supply coming from the car to power the antenna amp.
It varies with the head unit, many do put out the full battery voltage on the antenna feed wire (ours does) but obviously some don't, your fix is correct for those that don't. The issue is that everyone seems to just leave the amplifier wire disconnected and wonder why it doesn't work.

I know this is an old post but I'm having this issue.
I'm actually little confused as to how to remedy this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Should I splice the blue ant wire into the power wire going to the radio?
I was under the impression the blue ant wire was for people who had a power antenna that raises and lowers when the radio is powered on.
Here's the radio I got for a 2005 Corolla.

The ANT wire of the head unit is intended as power supply for the car antenna. Not only the automatic extending antennas need a power supply, also active antennas.
So it depends on your installed antenna if you need to connect it.
Some active antennas doesn't have a separate wire for power supply. In this case you need a "Phantomeinspeiseadapter" (Google it). Espacially cars from VW group (Skoda, Seat, VW, Audi...) need such an adapter in combination with a 3rd party radio.
The idea is to power the antenna only if it's needed (your listening to radio).
Alternatively the antenna could get its power from the ACC wire. In this case the antenna gets power as soon as you turn on the ignition.
The B+ wire should never be used to power the antenna because this would drain your cars battery 24/7.
Hi guys, I have a Android head unit called TS-4G and drive an Opel insignia. (This one https://a.aliexpress.com/_vdJ8NX ) - how can a find out which hardware platform it is?! I think it’s very similar to the px5
I replace the original radio with the Android one, but the radio signal is worst. Dump sound, no signal, no AF. I put a amplifier between the radio and my two car antennas, connected over fakra connectors. The amplifier is powered up with 12v (phantom) with amp I have very low signal, without nothing, so I decided to put my Orginal Radio back in. Now i look why is the signal so bad. I opened the Android head unit and check the reciever. There is a 7786AF-6 build in. Now is the question, replace it with a 6686 or not... ?! Or, how can i improve the signal strength.
Btw. gps, canbus, steeringwheel remote, LTE works nice. Only the fm tuner sucks...
Here some informations about this head unit

Exactly same unit here. Cause bad fm/am signal receiption I gave up and installed a dab+ dongle with new active shark roof antenna. It supports GPS, FM/AM and DAB+ . GPS, FM/AM has good signal receiption now, but DAB is not working well. There are some device interferences, too and I have to check the cables at back side again.
Btw, the PX5 headunit was much better.... (I've got an accident with my opel astra h )
I have a dab+ usb module too, but with a window antenna. In my location in middle germany i have with this antenna worst signal too. 100 meters good signal, next 100 no signal...
How you replace the orginal shark antenna? The orginal shark is in my case the gps one. How you connect gps, and fm with this one antenna? New cables to the antenna, or can use the old one?

some parts in the trunk that can prevent the roof lining from lowering must be removed. otherwise it is almost impossible to access and loosen the screw on the antenna. it's a very fiddly business, I couldn't loosen the screw on my antenna on my own and had to go to a workshop (and I really do a lot on cars.)
The original gps cable can be used again with the new antenna, for fm / am and dab a new separate cable must be pulled forward to the glove compartment. adapters may be required on the radio and dab module.
all in all, it is quite doable, but takes a lot of time. the biggest problem is loosening the old antenna and ensuring that there are no kinks in the roof lining. and make sure to disconnect the battery before converting.
But, it is possible to change the hardware (7786 to 6686 tuner?) the 2nd one is an digital fm tuner - pin out and size are the same. I read on some another threads, that ppl swap these fm tuners...

Hi
Car wolfswagen duble din andoid 4.4.2 system.
no rado sound at all . youtube and bluetooth sound is working.
tried to reset and system and still no sound..
does the radio have a ddiffent connection to the speakses?
Thnx.
Are you able to hear MP3 music stored on SD/USB or internal memory?
Is the FM receiver set to the right market? There are differences between the states. You need to check in the system settings of your unit.
Do you hear at least white noise? If you don´t hear anything and the FM receiver does not find a station, the FM receiver seems to be broken. Can mostly be exchanged if you are able to solder. Depends on the unit.
...but related to the age of this unit, I would not recommend that.

Station names is something different and is related to bad FM reception.
Well you are talking about VW. So I expect that your car has at least 3 antennas. One in the back window and one in each side window.
You most probably did not connect the antenna correctly. I don´t think that the receiver is broken.
Seems that you need some professional help to get this working with your setup.

With VW cars (and all others of the VW family) we are talking about Antenna-Diversity.
That means that a control-unit in the back of your car is checking all available antennas for the best reception and routes only this antenna to your radio.
You will find the control unit behind the right plastic panel in the trunk of the car.... at least mostly.
Antenna-Diversity is not really usable for any known-to-me aftermarket head units.
You need to check now:
Pull out the radio and check the antenna cable from the car.
Do you see a double FAKRA connector on car side?
Do you see only 1 single FAKRA connector on car side?
Is there a phantom power adapter between the radio and the car FAKRA connector, with a +12V connector?
In case you are struggling with that... Just pull out the radio and provide some photos where we can see the cable and the cable colors of the connectors.... Do that for all the cable tree connected to your radio.
hi all
got it working just bu plugging a USB cable and it works as antenna....

Well... you should get your antenna working, instead of a workaround with some USB cable. At least I don´t get the connection between FM and USB.
Hi!
I recently bought a Junsun V1 Pro 4GB + 64GB. And I got, like many other problem with microphone quality. Thanks to (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ooth-phone-calls-junsun-v1-pro.4166471/page-3) I solved that problem.
And in the process i got new firmware from junsun and updated.
And then i connected headunit in car again and then FM stopped working. (Which was working perfect for a couple of weeks when troubleshooting bad microphone quality)
When starting the unit and then radio app there is a brief noise from radio that fades away quick. The channels are set to 0. And nothing happens if i try to scan for new.
I have triplechecked the connection to antenna, I measured the adapter for cable breaks.
I have tried a ton of settings in 8878.
I'll post screen of current settings, please help me troubleshoot this!

Hi, first things first...
Antenna. It must be connected to a mass (zero) of car in order to work so check that first.
Second... Change Radio chip in system settings and see if it is misconfigured. TDA 7851 is the common one used in this devices.
P.S. in image I see that RDS is OFF turn this ON !

Hi Anton, thanks for engaging with me!
When you talk about the mass connection, do you mean at the antenna side or on the head unit?
I'll try the TDA 7851 with RDS On, but i've already tried a ton of combinations in this menu since problem started.
I thought that reset to factory would also reset these settings but unfortunatley it only reset android.
Anyone know how to get these settings to factory?
Antenna works in that way that when jack is connected into antenna port mass of the car / or units mass - metal casing gives contact. But if it is not antenna case here and double checked, you can also check for a faulty GPS antenna if you have one , if faulty it can freeze radio , I had this problem on my old device. Go to GPS antenna test app and see if signal is constant with at least three satellites if not disconnect GPS antenna from unit and open radio app, see if works without GPS antenna. If yes, replace GPS antenna, buy new one.

Something with update changed your RADIO chip consult with seller or gaver of update
Problem solved now! I reached out to seller. And it turns out that "Radio" has to be in "Menu Icon" in order to function properly. (8878 Menu)
I removed radio since I wanted the button to open phone. Which I didn't got working anyway.
Thank you for helping!
