Hi,
We purchased a Renaul Clio 3 (2006) which as steering wheel controls from the factory.
I placed a 1din Joying Intel sofia Android with 9" screen into this car, this unit has steering wheel options and canbus high and low wires etc
The unit works fine but i would be great if we could also control the unit by the original steering wheel controls.
Does anyone have an idea how this works or what i need to get this to work?
In the car there is beside the 2 ISO connectors also a small yellow connector (see attachment C1) which is currently not connected

Hello people,
i would like to connect an external mic. to my Blue Angel,
and i allready know about the pin assignment of both connectors (22pin or 2,5mm plug).
My question is:
is the analog to digital converter in the blue angel able to do stereo?
if yes, (where) can i solder a stereo line-in to the curcuit?
btw., i'm very happy i found this (wonderful) forum...
merry X-Mas to all of you!
s.
'Philips UDA1380' chip -> stereo sampling!
on that page:
http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngel
they say that BA uses a 'Philips UDA1380' chip
and they have a link for a datasheet (68 pages, pdf) for that chip:
http://www.nxp.com/acrobat_download/datasheets/UDA1380_4.pdf
'Philips UDA1380' chip is capable of doing stereo sampling,
so a BA could be a stereo recorder!
if anybody knows how this could be done,
please give me a hint ...
some things i found:

... if anybody knows if it would work to solder an line-in to the chip
and use that line in for 44khz/16bit stereo recordings,
please let me know...
Well, I took a look at the hi-res photos of the boards on the wiki here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/files/naked-blue-insane.jpg
and if you rotate the image around 180 degrees, I think the chip in question will be in the top centre of the image on the right.
From looking at the photo, these pins are already hooked up to something. They might even be connected to the same thing, it's hard to tell from the photo. I've not opened my BA myself as it's under guarantee.
hi fraser,
yes, that one is the chip, and yes, it looks like all pins are soldered to the board, but i'm quite sure that they are not connected to anything,
because there is no 'line-in" anywhere on the board (not even a stereo line signal), and thats the purpose of pin 27&29...
the blue angel mic(s) (internal and external) are quite sure connected to pin 31.
i have 2 problems:
1.
i don't know if it's ok to connect an external line to the chip directly,
or if there have to be some 'signal tweak' before sending it into the chip
2.
i don't know if the 'default' driver is able to 'receive' or use stereo signals
- is there some sort of 'software mixer', like in a regular windows pc?
i really need help from an electronics guru...
I'm well behind the curve on Android in the car and I'm not sure this is even the right place for it but I have a concept for a system and I'm not sure whether the current state of the art permits it. But here goes anyway.
The car is exotic and rare: a Renault Avantime. Here's the cockpit:

You'll note that it's a work of art (may not be to your taste but it's one of those rare beasts; a concept show car that actually went into production). So I don't want to mess with it too much. You'll also note that there's a bump with a Satnav screen (factory system: old VDO/Dayton thing) on top of the dash. There's also a large flap cover forward of the gearshift; that covers a double-DIN hole which was used for the factory CD and satnav controls panel. The factory radio is a headless unit under the seat which runs a dashboard display and steering wheel controls - with a remote for more complex functions.
What I want to install is an Android system with multiple inputs and outputs. The primary display would take the place of the flap forward of the gearshift. The brains of the thing may or may not be integrated into that display.
Inputs would consist of:
- a cabin webcam used for Skype etc.
- a backup camera (no factory fit)
- a forward-looking thermal camera for night vision
The primary touchscreen display would be in front of the gearshift as described. The existing Satnav display would be adapted for a secondary screen (probably not a touchscreen; just a display): normally it would show Google Maps - or some other app for nav data. But it would be selectable via software to display the backup camera view, the thermal camera view, or the Skype display when in a Skype video call.
Obviously the unit would need to be capable of controlling and driving an external AM/FM receiver/amp for that side of the entertainment functionality.
Is any Android system capable of handling these multiple inputs and outputs? The ability to display specific apps on the secondary display is kinda crucial to what I want to do here; are there any general solutions to getting multiple video streams into and out of an Android device? Or would I be better considering a bespoke car PC based on Linux or something? Any suggestions gratefully received.

My new unit has an MCU very similar: IAP36/CM02.00.01_161223_15:24
Tha main problem of the ROM is that the radio player cannot record de favourites stations... Incredible!
I am searching for changing the default radio player... a new ROM is another solution!

I have the same MCU. Did you find a new rom? Where? Thansk
Im looking for roms too..
Do you guys found something?
Ok, I have a sofia 3gr atom quad core based Joying JY-UL134N2 digitizer screen thats slowly failing from the bottom up.
Joying support have been unhelpful to the point of rudeness and tried to use the problem to sell me another unit, this will be the last Joying device I ever buy.
All Im looking to do is replace the digitizer panel so I can give it to a friend, as everything else still works. I'd hate to scrap it just for such a simple problem.
Its a standoff 10.1 screen model with soft buttons down the left side.
I took it apart and printed o the ribbon cable was the following :
JR-010-GT9271
2016.10.11 J
0817
010
Unfortunately thats all the identification I can find and it doesnt seem to be enough to search for.
In system info :
touch : gt9xx_i2c 9217_1020 (b3f1341c) (0)
Ive double and triple checked (ad flashed) joying update files correct for the unit, and now its on GTX Rom (correct 1024x600 resolution is set).
The MCU file is correct afaik :
2017-10-25 19:26:31 JY_(_R76)_90_C9_7706_5009_CAN(All)_Newlap_AMP
Ive exhausted all options now and I have to conclude its a faulty digitizer unless someone can spot different, and I am hoping someone can link me a suitable replacement digitizer panel.
GT9271 --- Capacitive Touchscreen Driver (CTD)
Hi, we are having similar problems with a Funrover head unit with a failing digitizer. Only purchased in July for GB£255.
It has developed a dead area at the top of the touch panel which also suffers from ghost touches.
Our Funrover is almost identical to a Joying unit. Perhaps both manufacturers used the same Board Reference Design? Supplied by the System-on-Chip (SOC) developer? In our case, Unisoc / Spreadtrum.
Funrover are equally unhelpful in supplying spare parts. Evasive and messages ignored.
However, that part number GT9271 on your screen flex flat cable is for the 10-point Capacitive Touchscreen Driver for MID - the controller IC made by Goodix®
That touchscreen controller uses a standard i2c serial bus interface with the Intel Sofia host.
See https: / / focuslcds.com/content/GT9271.pdf
Is it possible to replace with another GT9271-driven touchscreen? Of identical dimensions and FFC cable type; there are (at least) two types - with 12-contact and with 6-contact.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for some advice regarding the head unit in my 2019 South African Toyota Fortuner.

The unit comes with Mirrorlink in it which does not work, confirmed by Toyota SA. I would really like to have Android Auto working on the unti and was thinking of replacing the OEM unit but.
I found a USB Carlinkit which I thought would solve my problem.
This requires an app to be loaded onto the head unit from a USB stick. I tried to load the app onto the head unit using the USB App install option from the menu but it comes up with a error. My radio reads MP3's from the USB Memory stick no problem but when I try to load the Autokit.apk file it comes up with this message.
The head unit appears to be running Android (could be wrong) and it should be able to load apps onto it.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong or perhaps a head unit that has been crippled?
If so, I would obviously like to uncriple it, any suggestions
Thanks
JohnB
Wondering if
A- The head unit is actually locked to prevent apps being loaded onto it.
B- If so, seems that I can still update the firmware, so if there is another firmware that isn't locked that I could load onto it.
I downloaded the source code from the suppled Denso site but it is way beyond my paygrade
That's a factory headunit, made by Fujitsu-Ten for Toyota. If it support Android Auto, it would be mentioned in the owner's manual. It runs Linux, you're not going to be able to load any Android apps into it.
Toyota has only very recently added Android Auto support to some models. Very few for MY 2019, a few more for 2020.

Seems that the version of linux they are running on is Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) https://www.automotivelinux.org/
is an open source project run by the Linux Foundation with Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, Volkswagen, Ford, Mercedes & Honda as members. Was started in 2016 from what I can see
There is also a wiki at https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/
