Hello guys! I have a little problem, because I reset to factory settings and I don't have backlights in keys and I don't know what take settings for canbus, on Ford Mondeo(simple) and other don't work, I can't use control keys in wheel. How I take option "NO" on canbus setting I can use keys in wheel. What is good for settings on canbus? Maybe something I wrong connect? I read something about key1 and key2 cable, but I don't know... Cheers.

It's fine now.
I have an 2006 Ford Focus with steering control and an A-Sure 8.0 HU. I buy this HU because the descripton was, that the radio was with built in can bus modul and that wasnt true. The steering control has two extra wire für swc and has nothing to do with Can bus. In my car the swc wire are pin 6 and 8 in the B section of the quadlock (white/black and brown/yellow). On my radio it was cable SWC2 and GND.
I have a mondeo with Ford convers+ display between indicators cluster.
With the radio app, the drawing is shown on the convers with the frequency. With dvd the cd and track 1 is visualized on the convers. If active the music app (always original like the ones written before) the aux image on the convers is displayed. With any non-original app, radio, music etc. the information in the convers does not work, as if the original radio was turned off. Someone has modified something to make the aux function appear on the convers, because with off function it looks very bad. I have radio eonon Ga8161 7.1 (KLD px3)

I've been around and around trying to validate how to get all of my RAV4 SWC keys to work.
At first I was told I needed a controller, so I bought an Axxess ASWC1, and their Toyota-specific cable. Did a lot of testing and finally found a radio setting (#11) that gave me most of my keys. I had Up/Dn, Vol+/-, MODE, and my 3 phone buttons working. Was still missing Left/Right/Center and the Back Arrow key. But not bad.
Pumpkin support (who has been really great despite the time zone difference) told me they had a specific Toyota harness that just hooked the SWC wires up directly. It was only $18, so I picked it up (took about 10 days to ship). When I got it, it works, but I only get 4 keys (Up/Dn, Vol+/-). Pumpkin support tells me it normally picks up all keys.
Has anyone else done an RK1388 install that does a direct connection (no controller) for SWC? If so, is the unit able to see all your keys?
Also interested in any insight about how SWC controls work. Does each key send a different voltage? Why are there 2 wires (+ ground)?

Why don't you use search? There are several threads in this forum explaining how SWC works.

I have, of course.
But searching for 'SWC' returns so much generic information, I haven't been able to find anything specific to my needs. And it's not like I don't understand the basics of SWC, as I have it working - I just can't tell whether or not I should expect to see 'all' keys from my RAV4 with one of these units. Pumpkin support tells me I probably should, but I haven't heard from any other users with a similar vehicle/head unit.
I can test the RAV's voltages coming off the SWC wires. What I could use information on is what voltages my head unit will recognize, so I can see if I'm missing something with the connections (directly wired using Pumpkin's own Toyota harness, so I don't think so), or with the head unit.
Let me know if there are any threads you'd recommend. Thx.
I have same issue with my sequoia 2015 ..
Exactly the same buttons you got not working
I have searched many topics and found nothing for my case
Please if found a solution let me know
Thanks
A few weeks ago I ordered this unit direct from xtrons, and just tested in with a bench top power supply. It's running lollipop out of the box. This weekend I finally got around to installing it into my car. Everything works great, minus these issues:
There doesn't seem to be anyway to remove paired bluetooth devices. There's no gear cogs for each listing, and holding down on the device doesn't give you any options to remove or forget the device.
The Xtrons OBD2 dongle pairs with the head unit, and a blue OBD icon appears in the top status bar, but both Torque and Dashcommand see no OBD2 dongles.
When in the radio app, it will display the station and volume on my cars dash board (via canbus). But these messages don't always update, and get stuck with stale data - like after exiting radio app, whatever was last displayed will be stuck there. Also the volume adjusts don't update when I adjust them... it seems random... but when the radio app changes stations, it seems to work correctly.
Radio reception isn't as strong as my stock radio. Which is fine... it is what it is, but would be cool if it worked the same.
Steering Wheel app doesn't show any buttons to map/remap. Only shows save and reset. So I can't change any of the button functions....
Other than those things I'm pretty happy with it.
links to head unit for reference:

I figured out issue #2 after I did a factory reset. Before the reset, there was a list of about 6-7 mac addresses. after reset, there were just 2 (phone and OBD2 dongle), which made trial and error easier.. would be nice if it listed device name rather than mac address. Also, sometimes the list will be blank.. then only option is to close torque, or other app you use, then retry.
Also, grab one of these http://www.amazon.com/Electrical-Co...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 so you can use your car's build in GPS antenna (the shark fin on car's roof). Works good

Hi, thanks for the quick review, I bought the same and wanted to add some information as yours was helpful to me.
Bluetooth - same, I can't remove them from the list however, tapping them allows to "disconnect" them.
The only app I got to work with the OBD dongle from Xtrons was Torque Light. The pre-installed dashcommand did not work (I tried many times), also I'd like to use dash.by -- which also does not work unfortunatly.
With the radio, I have the same "problem" for the info area in the main dashboard. Some other apps (eg. CD player also seem to display stuff, but as I never use the radio, I don't really care. Would have been nice however to have the master volume displayed.
Radio reception seems okay to me. However, I loose the saved stations after restart. No problem, since I almost never use the radio and would invest in the DAB+ if I was.
Steering Wheel app -- same, I got the left part running with MTCD tools (here in the forums) to skip tracks. However, I can't remap the voice button and the mode button.
After updating the google app, the "voice search" feature is really slow.
Original shark fin GPS does seem to work fine with the adapter you linked, thanks!
Sound quality is way better than I thought it would be (eg. with Apple Music) as people wrote about low volume of rear speakers, hiss and noise. I only have minor static noise when nothing is playing and that is acceptable for me. Rear speakers are fine and the equalizer works great (put on loudness for warmer sound). (I have the nine speaker non-bose setup.)
Overall after a fresh boot or reset, the device is -- compared to eg. an iPhone 6 -- quite slow. Loading stuff (especially Maps) takes really long. Not sure why that is, but the device is way slower as you would expect from current Android or iOS hardware.
I am going to add if I found out more. Please do so, too -- especially if you find out someting about the steering wheel buttons.
did you guys figure out how to change the panel keys?
can get to them via extra settings and 123456, and can see them but seem to be unable to change or do anything to them ?
I'm looking into buying an Android head unit, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the many options. As my car (Peugeot 207) has a CAN bus, one of the things I'd like to know a bit more about is the CAN bus functionality that Android head units provide.
I'm seeing that some units do have a CAN bus connection and can be configured for a specific car model (e.g. Peugeot 207, or Honda Jazz, etc). I do have some questions about this:
The most basic function would be to be able to use the steering wheel controls, so I assume this works? But what buttons do work (Volume up, down, next, previous, ffwd, rwd, source, and I also have a sort of scroll wheel (for menu navigation))?
A more advanced function would be the climate control (dual zone). Is this possible? I've seen it on some Volkswagen-specific units?
I have a multifunction display in the car, which is also operated by CAN bus. Do Android head units also provide functions to display data on such a screen (like song metadata, etc)
It would be nice to be able to manually configure the CAN bus mapping, in a UI or maybe in a file. Is that possible?
The Peugeot radio works on a comfort/fault tolerant CAN bus at 125kbps. Is that supported (I have had some problems with devices that only support high speed CAN bus which is not compatible on a hardware level)?
If such functions exist, does it differ per unit/brand? Can it be copied or migrated in a custom rom or apk?
I realise this is quite a broad question, but I hope you guys can share some of your experiences. Of course, experiences with a Peugeot (a 207 even) would be best.:good::fingers-crossed:
This is with a Px3 unit and a VW Eos, but... on my vehicle with CanBus, the steering wheel controls worked with no configuration - volume controls, back / forward buttons, the phone button launches the dialer, I believe, and there's a mic button that was for (a thoroughly useless) voice activate command on the original head unit, this acts as a mute button. At least on my vehicle with Canbus, there is NO ability to custom configure the wheel keys - they do the above, and that's the only option.
The multifunction screen doesn't have a page from my head unit - moving horizontally went between car data (speed/consumption/etc) <-> Setup <-> Radio, and with the new h/u, it just flips between setup and car data.
I haven't figured out climate control yet.

I have a Chinese unit with android 6.0 and I am unable to reset or reprogram steering wheel buttons on my Toyota camry. My friend has similar unit on his camry and he also can't program steering wheel buttons. Does this mean that all android radios for Toyota canbus come with buttons pre-programmed and they can't be changed?
Andy advice would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to try one of the Malaysk ROMs that are rooted and have XPOSED/MTCD Tools pre-installed (not all of his ROMs are like that though)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...ease-mtcdtools-control-music-players-t3436789
Short Answer: for most "Chinese units", you can't use the embedded app to assign functions to keys when you use CanBus
Long Answer... well, you'd have to provide a ton of more info on top of "I have a Chinese unit" if you really want a long answer But I bet you're only looking for a short pointer anyway

had same issue when using CANBUS adapter in my Toyota Fortuner. If you splice spare wires from your chinese head unit labelled Key1 and Key2 direct to the toyota steering wheel control wires (there should be 3 all up, Ground and wire 1 and wire2) and disconnect (cut) those wires from CANBUS adapter (external box) your head unit came with you should be fine. In my case its a simple resistance circuit, between Ground and each control wire.
Hi guys I have a android SWM 8802 with Android YT9216B_00002_V004_20190708 is android 8.1go and MCU is HW88227L-3.3SW0-3.1
This radio have key1 and I connect in my car all perfect like other guys with the same car do but my radio dont have the app where you configurate steering buttons. Normally it configurate in Car settings but when I push it the radio say that I dont have original equipment.
There are any app that I can download to do it? or maybe I need change Can protocol in factory settings but dont know what I need to set.
Another problem is that sometimes the radio start with volume to high (and not like last time) is too high i guess because my car have amplifier but I would like to know where I can adjust that
thank you so much!
