I have an Enonon G2110 with android 4.2. It has RK3066 1.6Ghz cortex A9 Dual core, DDR3 1GB. I am overall happy with the unit but I do have a couple questions for you all with this stereo.
1, The SWC controls randomly stop working and will stay not working until I reboot the unit. It is hooked up using the SWC1 wire through the SWC board on my steering wheel and hooked back to ground. It is the resistance type where every button has a different resistance. It programs correctly in the SWC program on the unit. I also have the canbus set to none in the "factory settings" area.
Any fix for this?
2, Bluetooth. When connected to my phone (LG G3) and making or receiving a phone call, the volume is super low through the unit. I have the unit hooked up using RCAs only through an amp in my car. The bluetooth connection for music works fine and is the correct volume. Is there anyway to turn up this volume on the unit? Or another program for bluetooth connection?
Also I can't get my PLX devices bluetooth KIWI to connect to this unit. I have the program TORQUE to obd2 monitoring. Not sure if its just an issue with the bluetooth program or something I am missing. The KIWI connects and works fine on my G3.
3, Screen flicker. My car has auto headlights. I have the headlight input wire hooked to the unit to change the brightness depending on day/night. When it switches modes from day to night the screen flickers for about 3 seconds. Is this normal? Any fix for this?
4, Google services stopped error. If i happen to kill the car and have to restart the engine, the unit says shutting down and the screen turns off for a moment and then back on. When it comes back on the error "google services has stopped" and I hit OK. Is there away around this? (besides not killing the car of course) It's not a big issue or anything but its something I have noticed.
I tired asking these questions on someones post but it got lost in the shuffle. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

For years I've been handling all the music in my car via a first-gen iPod mini under the passenger seat connected to a Harman/Kardon Drive+Play. It's got its flaws, but it works great. I turn on the car and it picks right up where it left off. The control is mounted right where my hand expects it to be and the screen is easily visible. No fuss, no muss.
I'm wondering if I can accomplish something similar with my Nexus One. What I DON'T want to do is have some complex setup where every time I get in the car I have to connect three cables and put the phone in some gawdy clamp mount, then be awkwardly trying to use the touch screen while driving, then having to stop playback and disconnect everything when I get out of the car.
I'm looking for a solution that is either one cable or automatic bluetooth. Preferably there would be an external monitor screen. I'd like a manual control that I could mount by the arm rest or steering wheel and use without looking at it. At minimum, I could do music and calls. Navigation would be a plus.
Does anything like this currently exist?
Sounds like your after any number of car headunits that support AD2P (audio over bluetooth), bluetooth voice, and navigation. Alpine, Eclipse and Kenwood all make good units that should do what you want. You should be able to leave your phone in your pocket and just have it connect via bluetooth when your in range.
I've had minimal success with the various Pioneer headunits due to them not supporting AD2P without additional controllers = more money.
I hadn't thought of just replacing the head unit but I suppose I'm due. I browsed Crutchfield but there's no filter for A2DP capability. Anyone have any suggestions for a DIN head unit with integrated A2DP and a color LCD screen?
I'm currently using a jvc kd-r900. It comes with a little Bluetooth adapter that you can plug into the rear USB port. I have it setup to auto start car home when it connects to the bluetooth. Usually by the time I get in, start the car and put my seat belt on, my phone is connected and ready to play music/calls/GPS/etc. I can start music either from my phone or just pressing the play/pause button on the head unit. Works really great. I can switch songs pause/play and make calls directly frm the head unit without having to touch my phone. My wife had her phone in her purse in the back seat and was still able to play music without touching the phone
Overall pretty pleased with the unit and it works great with my n1.

Can you browse/navigate Artist, Album, Track, etc. from the head unit? If so, this is probably exactly what I'm after.
I can't browse using the headunit. It only allows my to play/pause and skip tracks.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the tip. This looks like a good unit.
Anyone else have experiences with A2DP headunits?
This might be dumb. But do all android phones have this a2dp feature? Isn't it just the same as a Bluetooth headset sort of, so they ALL must have it? If so I'm definitely getting a new stereo! I just want to make sure that after my nexus I can still use this feature!
A2DP is a software thing. So as long as the phone has a Bluetooth 2.0 chip (the G1 does) and the operating system supports A2DP (At minimum, Froyo does) then you're good to go.
I use a THB BURY CC9060 Music. Full Bluetooth kit with full music control from a remote dash mounted screen and call handling.

OK, so I am curious as to whether or not anyone else is having issues with the A2DP performance on this guy. When it works its great, sounds pretty good for BT. But here are two issues I have found.
When playing music over bluetooth, get/make a call it switches to handsfree fine, but when is switches back it the music clips on and off.
2nd. It seems to only pair with one A2DP device. I have a blackberry bluetooth gateway which works great. But when I pair it to my pioneer head unit, it only connects to the hands free profile, not A2DP. My deck works fine on all my other devices. I have to delete both pairings, reboot, and re-pair.
Idk but are they Bluetooth 4.0 compatible?
Hey,
So I do not have my HOX yet but your problem reminds me of another issue with bluetooth on some other phones.
Try this when you set up your pairings make sure you pair it FIRST whit the device you want to do A2DP streaming on (probably your head unit) then set it up with any other devices. Some times some phones or bluetooth head units will only connect A2DP with the first devices that it is paired with (what is some times considered the primary device).
Also when it cuts out on your rather than messing with your phone shut off your head unit or BT mount for like 15 seconds and turn it back on. Also toggle it off on your phone then toggle it on after the units are powered up. I had that bug with music after a call happen a lot in the past but it turned out it was my BT unit on my visor (it needed a firmware update) but still shutting it off would usually fix it.
EDIT
Also see if you can update the firmware on your BT units. If the phone is using 4.0 and they are using 3.0 there could be some comparability issues.
I have issues with my bluetooth also. Sometimes it just won't connect to my car's bluetooth. Usually it seems like it happens when it connects then i turn off the car, then when i go back in the car(like running in to the store real quick then coming back out) and it wont' reconnect unless I restart the phone. Not sure what the problem is.
Hey everyone. I'm having a very weird issue. I just bought a brand new Kenwood touchscreen head unit for my 03 WRX and have had it in for about two weeks. When i was using my galaxy note 3, the phone would pair via Bluetooth and play music and calls flawlessly.
Now that i switched to the M8 o have the phone paired. It says paired on the phone and on the head unit. I can make calls, access my phone book, but can't play music. The Bluetooth icon on the phone has the two arrows pointing in and i know on my GN3 that ment media was connected as well.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue? Thanks for any help ?
I don't have a solution for you. However when you are pairing the two have you tried going in to the Bluetooth settings and actually making sure that phone and media are both connected? I figure they both must be with it having the two arrows, but just that way we can make sure they are for sure paired.

Yeah i tried that. I tried unchecking and rechecking. I wish there were more Bluetooth settings
I have the exact same problem on a new Kenwood unit. Funny enough my old Kenwood unit (very similar) didn't do this ever. I've found that turning on my phone Bluetooth after the head unit is turned on always gives me a phone connection only. In that case you have to cycle the head unit power. Turning the phone Bluetooth on and off doesn't fix it. I'm going to reset the head unit and if it doesn't resolve it then Crutchfield will be getting this thing back.
Hi, I've been having some fairly big issues with my in-car Bluetooth and phones. I have a 2013 Subaru WRX with the stock stereo which is made by Clarion.
I first started experiencing problems with it about 2 years ago: I would be driving along when all of a sudden my phone would randomly disconnect from my car while I'm talking, listening to music or just had the GPS running (or a combination of these). Oftentimes my car stereo will spaz out once it disconnects and will actually freeze (all buttons are non functioning, including steering wheel controls, power button, am/fm buttons, volume, etc) and take many minutes to reset the connection or it won't do anything at all (the stereo says, "please wait" or "paused" or will get hung on the song title that was playing when the phone disconnected) and my phone won't reconnect to it - I'll have to restart my car. Sometimes the stereo will reset and simply won't reconnect to my phone.
The kicker is that it's an intermittent problem, but still happens semi-frequently for periods at a time then it seems to get better. I've tried deleting my paired phone list in the car and on the phone, I've tried formatting my phone and nothing worked. I even brought my car into Subaru to diagnose the problem because I feel it's a car issue and they claimed it worked with their own phone which I feel is BS because they didn't want to fix it while the car was still on warranty, but that's another story! They said they couldn't fix it because they saw no problem (couldn't reproduce it) even though I provided them with video and pictures of it occurring.
This first started happening with my unlocked, stock, HTC One, m7 (currently running lollipop) . I thought there was a chance it could be related to an app or the OS but was not able to diagnose or isolate the issue. I just recently bought a Nexus 5x (marshmallow), unlocked, stock, thinking if it was the phone then this would fix the problem. It actually seems to have gotten worse with the frequency, however I've noticed that the phone is better at pairing with my car after the connection is lost. I still can't reproduce this on a consistent basis.
Can anyone suggest some possible causes and fixes? I'm hoping someone here is a Bluetooth Guru!
I've got a new Honor 8 with the latest updates and one glaring issue. The bluetooth audio skips with my Kenwood KDC-X701 head unit, sometimes a whole song plays, sometimes I get a lot of random skips and pauses in the music like it's dropping connection. The phone is within 2 feet of the head unit so distance isn't an issue. I tried it key on engine off with everything else in the car turned off to rule out interference from anything else in the car like headlights, tail lights, alternator noise, etc. I connected it via the 3.5mm jack and had smooth playback without skipping so it's not an audio source issue. And just to rule out a BT issue with the phone, I connected to and had smooth audio with a generic Chinese BT puck in my home. This same head unit has had no issues streaming BT audio from an iPod Touch 5th gen so it's not simply a head unit with bad bluetooth, it's some kind of issue between the Honor 8 and the head unit. What I want to know is how to determine what BT protocol is in use between the Honor 8 and the head unit and then determine what BT protocol the iPod Touch used and see if there's some way to manually set how the Honor 8 connects via BT to the head unit.
Or is there something more simple I'm missing here? Some kind of power saving I need to turn off, some menu option I'm missing, I hope so.
I'm going to make sure the head unit is on the latest firmware, I believe it is but I'll check and report back if there was an update and if it did anything for the issue.
Ok so during a 5 minute call through the head unit tonight there were not any BT issues, so this must be a music specific BT protocol issue, I'm slowly getting closer to the root of it.
Seems putting it in the dash pocket directly below the head unit works better which is unnecessarily close (less than 4 inches away) and many times closer than the iPod Touch ever needed to be. So there's still some kind of issue but seems like I might have a work around, it only skipped twice in a 30 minute drive which is the best it's been.
8 hour drive today with only 5-7 drops an hour. Seems worse when I'm around a lot of traffic, sometimes or that could just be coincidence.
Sometimes it's also partly dropping, music keeps playing but other Bluetooth features aren't working like Google voice commands or making/taking calls. Weird!
