TPMS has beenn mentioned a few times in the original thread, but AFAIK no one has managed to find out how/if any TPMS modules will work. I bought a TPMS module from Klyde, it comes with 4 valve caps and a strange mini USB thing that I assume allows you to plug another mini USB device into the unit at the same time.
Unfortunately I cant get it to work with the built in TPMS app that started appearing in ROMs from June either on my old unit or my new one, I ve tried searching for the device in the BT app and the BT in settings but I get nothing, I m awaiting a response from Klyde.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get it to work then let me know, but its good to see TPMS hardware available for these devices - even if its not working . . yet !
Can you share link from TPMS module?
My brain is stuck what is TPMS? I am sure I should know but i don't get it
Guess youre talking about Tire Pressure Metering Sensor?
would you probably add a hint to your OP and title so others know what you mean? Remeber the non-english-speakers here
Yes this is it (Tire Pressure Metering Sensor).

I simply bought it from Klyde, there was no link, I guess you have to ask them.
It turns out it cant be used with DAB, which is why I cant get it to work - the cable to attach it is the same as the DAB module they sent me.
I m not sure if its BT or maybe NFC or something. I ll report back with results when I get it to to work
Does anybody try this TPMS solution with his HU?

Does the app work in landscape mode?
Can the app start with background mode?
Does the external (valve cap) sensor show accurate value?
I have been using this TPMS system in Volkswagen Polo and my MTCB head unit since 3 months now and couldn't be happier with it.
It activates when you press the button because it invokes the reverse camera display source every time you call it into action.

I have tried these two models purchased at Amazon and they work perfectly. I have them installed on my cars.
The only drawback is that you need Bluetooth 4.0 and HuiFei radio does not have it. I have commissioned an RX USB Bluetooth for Android on Deal Extreme, to see if it works.
So far I'm seeing it in my S5 Galaxy.

Turns out you need a special lead that I wasnt sent orignally, it plugs into one of the sockets on the back of the unit, theyre sending me one, I ll post again when I get it.
Anyone have a idea if this would work with a joying head unit.

Dont know, ask the seller.
But in any case if it works with a Joyous unit it will work with ANY MTCB head unit. There is no such thing as a "Joying" head unit - Joying/CarJoying are simply re-sellers of Shenzhen Joyous head units.

Yes I think.
It looks made specifically for these HUs. So I supposed they tested them.
And screens look like built-in TPMS app that I got preinstaled on my HU (KGL). So I supposed it should work.
But I would preffer ecternal sensors, not ibternal ones. I have 4x4 which reqiires regular tire rotation and ibternal sensors are not suitable as I would need to remove and refit them on every tire rotation.
Is there external versio? I couldnt find it on AlliExpress.
The one I mentioned in my first post has valve mounted sensors and obviously works with MTCB head units

Why? Sure, if they are somehow hard coded to location its sort of funny when they might not match the picture, but you only have 4 tires. Its pretty easy to check them when they are low.
You want internal sensors for TPMS. Less chance for losing them.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cable-Bueto...Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System-/271315933336
I understand the point about tire rotation and internal sensors. Would it be possible to make the same rotation in the app, since all sensors are doing the same thing anyway? Eg. If you rotate your right front to right rear, make the same in the app to correspond with the sensor location?

Yes, mapping is possible. Depends on product.

Hi All,
I have also interest for this. Somebody could give some information ? It works, or any other bluetooth type, using with external attached bluetooth 4.0 dongle ?
Well, I found out most of the connections for the TPMS as Klyde didnt send me a lead - power and ground were easy same as the DAB box, then, as its just a mini usb connection its just data + and data -, I know where the one of those wires goes, and narrowed it down to 2 pins for the other, I ve tried both pins and several versions of the TPMS app, but cant get anything. I ve tried looking for BT devices on my phone I thought I found 1 but my phone wouldnt connect and the headunit's BT wouldnt see it, my phone wouldnt connect and after removing all the batteries on the TPMS it still showed up so it couldnt be that. Totally stumped, just cant get it to work.
TPMS-Type
Let me inform you that for some time I'm trying to find a TPMS system that works well with Android auto MTCB-C I have made several purchases and placements from various vendors I will mention my experience to help future stakeholders.
For GS, KD, and JY machines, the following set works very well:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/TPMS-for-SilverStrong-Android-CAR-DVD-Car-Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System-4-Sensors-Alarm-Tire-Temperature/32803916037.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.IU13AC
It has its own very friendly app and it works with automatic start-up in the background and immediately informs if something goes wrong with the tires of the car, I recommend it for the above!
But last time I discovered another type with external valves that works very well with a Klyde machine and that's it:

Thanks for your post - I have the Last type, Klyde themselves supplied me with it, but they did not send me the lead and they did not reply to me when I asked for it, so I had to make one, but I still cannot get it to work, could you post a picture of the lead (the end that plugs into the head unit) so I can see which wires go where (I have seen the picture in your 3rd link before, but I cannot see where all the wires go) ?
Hey guys.
I just discovered that inside the JY Android there is an app called simply "Vehicle". Appears to take out car info via can bus and display it, but only when you start the app. Plus the "settings" tab inside it appears to be inactive. Anyone know where does this app come from? Can't find it on Google Play and it doesn't appear to have any widgets to go with it, though it would be very useful to have some of those informations permanently displayed.
Really.. I haven't seen that..
So you are saying it is actually taped in to the ECU onboard computer and is grabbing information from it directly with out any need of the Bluetooth adapter that others are using?..
If that is the case that opens up a whole range of possibilities..
Not the least the one that is.. If this is running that and you are on the internet, in theory the car unit can be hacked and a third party can take control of it..
Especially in newer cars..
Hum... Interestingly...
I am thinking a little more into this as I run a chipped diesel engine..
We drop a chip into it to boast performance and it is getting plugged into the engine via one of the auto testing ports..
So in theory, if this unit is directly tapped into the ECU we might be able to control this chip via an app... Food for thought..

Yeap, it does grab them, as you say, but as far as I saw, it has nothing but one-way read-only possibilities. And the info appears to be the one that you can normaly access on your mfd, nothing more, except that it's all there in one single column. But for instance, the fuel quantity is displayed in real terms, in liters, the battery voltage is there aswell... and so on. I don't know how accurate the information is, but it would sure be useful to be able to have a widget on the unit's screen, based on that app, to display some or all of that info permanently. However, the fact that the unit grabs info from the car's computer without any OBD, Bluetooth or otherwise, is obvious... how else would it be able to show info like parking sensors, park trajectory, climatronic, an so on if it weren't able to do that. But my guess is that all that info is available though the can bus only, and you can only read it, not tamper with it.

The car is good. Must be the canbus decoder. Either that or it has an old software. Just to make sure... you push "Vehicle" app, then you get a black screen with nothing but Vehicle writing there, you push that... and nothing happens?

It must be the decoder, however, if it's hardware or software issue I dunno. My first unit was as blind as a bat to the canbus, but my new unit came with a newer version of canbus decoder and software (from 1.01 to 1.07) and this one sees everything but the climatronic (odd enough). And you might want to track down the manufacturer for that...
Here's some winter news... the damn app doesn't recognise negative temperatures... outside was -7 (Celsius) and it was showing +6594:laugh::laugh::laugh: I must have landed on the sun's surface:silly:
I have one of these head units based on an RK3188 chip in my mini, and only today realised it was setup wrongly and the canbus type was set to BMW and not MINI.
WHat this means now is that suddenly it's on the CANBUS and my steering wheel volume etc are working as they should.
However...
I deleted the vehicle app when I was playing around with it, can an of you grab the apk and send me a copy of this?? Now I have the CANBUS working (i initialy thought I'd wired it incorrectly) the app should work and gve me fuel levels and MPG etc as the original head unit did.
Any help appreciated, I can't find this APK anywhere on the unit itself, and there doesn't seem to be anything on the play store like this.
Cheers

Well, the use would be in the fact it seems fairly discontinued, but is a useful app.
I downloaded and installed a newer version of the stock firmware, and this app wasn't included. I would like to put it back on, so if anyone can extract it and pass it my way, there's a bit of paypal kudos on the way...

Im in the U.K and we dont seem to be able to buy Joying head units which seem to be popular in the states.
Im looking at Eonon or Xtrons mainly with the quad core processors and 5.1 Lollipop.
Is there anything i should be looking for or best avoided?
Thanks for any help, i really appreciate it.

Thanks, Ive done a search on Amazon and ebay for Joying e90 and get no results, ive also been on the carjoying u.k website and they dont even list the e90 as an available option

Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
I have the xtrons e90 unit in my car. Seems similar to joying ect. One thing that took me ages to figure out as no instructions or guidance was given at all, was that there is two 12v yellow power leads and both need to be plugged in. One needs to go direct into the fusebox or to the battery.
Apparently BMW loses constant 12v power after a certain timer, roughly when the alarm system kicks in. So this means all power is lost to the head unit, including the small amount it needs to keep the MCU memory, which is your radio station presets and stuff. Also causing a much longer boot up. So I had to wire one of the cables into the central locking system fuse. Dead easy but you do need to buy a few bits from amazon for a few quid, otherwise the unit is a ballache.
Hope that helps
Cheers peeps, great advice. I've found auto pumpkin UK now so may order from them. The Xtrons , eonon and pumpkin all look identical so not sure if there is a difference as all seem to come from the same factory?
Should I be looking for the quad core 5.1 versions ?
Cheers all and thanks for the advise.
P.S I'll try and find the central locking fuse and use an add a circuit fuse to it.

I have just installed Erisin 3067B purchased directly from their website. It's a MTCD-based head unit. So far it is worth the price, although I had to struggle a bit to get everything working. In particular:
- The manual is almost useless. Moreover there are no installation details
- The head unit is very big and it is needed to move the AC controls in the lower part of the dashboard. I do not see how it is possible to add also the seats heating controls (I don't have them in my E91)
- Cable routing is easy. There are some videos on youtube regarding installation of Zenec car units. It took me 1h to get everything set
These are the problems I encountered:
- Quality of microphone, especially the external one, is very bad.
- The radio presets are lost every time I turn off the radio. No other settings are, therefore I guess it is software bug.
- exFAT is not recognized. So far I tried with a 64GB SDXC card and I only managed to read it when formatted as FAT32.

There are several empty positions in the fusebox. Do you suggest to wire the BATT+ wire directly or to install it with a 10A fuse?

you could do either apparently.
Personally i just purchased these, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01E3PQWUE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and used one of them in the fuse for the central locking system, as it will always have 12v. Was really simple, tad fidly running the wire that's all.

I am having similar problems myself.
-BMW i-BUS it doesn't detect it at all. I need the CAN file for the unit, but no luck as of yet.
-Home button on the unit doesn't work anymore? Factory restore fix's but it stops again after 2 days!
-Most of the settings are locked from view. I access developer mode and it auto kicks me back to bluetooth phone menu.
- Front camera displays track and theres no option to remove it. So annoying!!
- LED colour APP has gone. This went after I did a MCU upgrade which I was given by seller.
- When I power up Clicker is always set to on. Front camera always resets to normal instead of saving mirroring. Other various settings are forgotten as are radio presets.
- Doesn't detect iPhone via USB only Bluetooth. But does charge... Slowly.
You had any luck with yours? I have a E90.

You had any luck with yours? I have a E90.

Hello everyone!
Are the Joying JY-UQ130 7" head units still viable? I know they are 1 GB/16 GB units, but I don't need much other than BT streaming and terrestrial radio with a customizable interface. I don't have the MCU version yet. My searches turned up nothing recent, but I did find some posts about having to upgrade/replace the screen to take 5.1.1. Is that still the case, or are these posts old info that no longer applies?

Hi,
I have a 2015 Audi A3, which unfortunately didn't come with AA as an option (I think it was introduced in 2017). It's a real pain to install the 2017 MMI into an older car, but there are guys out there developing aftermarket Android-based headunits that basically put a whole android "phone" in the dash; which isn't a very eloquent solution and kind of overkill in my opinion. They've got their own SIM cards and you have to change the bluetooth devices the phone is paired to and whatnot. It's really not exactly what I'm looking for. I just want AA and that's it.
Anyway there's one guy who's kind of got what I'm looking for . Unfortunately because the car also didn't come with a touchscreen, I have to toggle through the menus with the knobs and steering wheel buttons, which is meh. I'd love to put a digitizer overlay on the screen and play around with it, maybe have a daughter board made up and inject the screen coordinates into the packets somehow before it's sent down to the phone. I'm more of an EE, don't really have a lot of Android dev experience but I've got a lot of microcontroller and firmware experience. Anyway that's my high level idea of how this might work, not sure if I'm going in the right direction. I did ask the guy at RSNAV (seems to be a one-man show) last night if I might have the source code after signing an NDA and I'm awaiting his response. In the meantime I want to get a plan of action going.
So I'm wondering how AA is integrated on the client-side. Obviously the manufacturer headunits aren't running Android, but they've gotta communicate somehow with the phone. I can't find this info anywhere, I'm guessing this is info Google only shares with Auto manufacturers and the Kentwoods and Pioneers of the world. But maybe I'm wrong. I'm assuming it's a protobuf-based protocol between the headunit and the phone, but I don't know.
Can anybody help me out here? Thanks.
All my android auto head units are running android operating system two Chevy and one Mitsubishi. Main reason why poplar cars get rooted head units and what not. But after market android auto head unit is probably your best choice.
