Help! Android Car Stereo no App Sounds... - General Questions and Answers

I made the mistake so many others did, I bought a car stereo head unit off of ebay.
Below is the link to what it is, I can’t find specifics but I believe it is in the RockChip RK3188 area.
I really don’t know how to find this out. Just from another forum on this site (https://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Generic_Android_Head_Unit), I found it was the only one that matched with RockChip RK3188.
So my issue is I did a factory reset and now the radio has sound but no other apps have sound. So I have a big flat screen am/fm radio lol.
I think if I knew what to get I could flash it and probably fix it, but have no idea what ROM to use. I’m afraid I’ll brick it. Can anyone please help me; I’ve spent 3 months trying to get some help and so far no luck. Thank you in advance!
Below is the link, this is the not the same seller but it is the same stereo I bought just a lot cheaper lol.

I was wondering if anyone had tried a2dp with their nexus and this head unit. I'm about to pull the trigger on one but will hold back if there are any problems reported.
P.S. I know there is a head unit thread but I want to keep that as a list of confirmed working units as opposed to a flood of questions like this.
I would venture a guess that it will be fine. I would check over at vwvortex (dot) com

I'm guessing it will be fine too since i have yet to encounter an a2dp device that doesn't work great with proper reception.
I am actually a member of vwvortex and the consensus over there is that the a2dp audio quality is crap on this head unit. But the only people who have claimed this are iphone 3gs users and i'm %95 sure the iphone only supports very low bitrate audio streams. I've asked for people with smartphones to chime in but there is no response as off yet.
If all else fails there is the aux input socket. If a2dp actually works well I will add this to the headunit thread.

[Q] Bluetooth Headphone and Bluetooth version

which bluetooth headphone?
According to SGS Spec, our phone support v3.0 bluetooth (not sure how it benefit us compare with version 2.0)
I'm regular jogger, listen to music during my jog is what I like to do, unfortunately, I just had my expensive (to me at least) wire earphone torn apart , might be due to extensive movement during exercise, hence I'm looking at sporty bluetooth earphone/headphone.
I found Motorokr S9, but it's not available in my country (Asia). any other suggestion?

any suggestion?
I got the S9-HD
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982274
and they are pretty much the best I had! I used to have the red ones like on the pictures but I got it from a chineese website, so I'm not shure if they are the real deal or an imitation, but the HD's are wayyy better!

[Q] Android Car Stereo Head Unit massive problems

Hey there guys!
I bought a Unbranded Android Car Steoreo Head Unit and it went pretty good in the first place.
After i installed spotify and downloaded music, once the Wifi wasn't availiable anymore, spotify told me that the USB-Storage is no more there (but it is).
I thought a upgrade would solve this so i googled and found this Thread:
"AN-21 U" - Unbranded 6.2" 2 DIN Pure Android 4.1 Car Stereo Radio Head Unit
As my Radio says its also a AN-21 U i thought it will work.
This is my Radio by the way:

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So after updating the MCU it lags a little bit and the volume-knob and the +/- knob is changed with each other and not responding proper either.
I also tried to update the System but activating this just boots up the device saying update start and update end at the same time, not taking any affects.
Software System Reset is not solving this, and im not abled to enter the boot menu (By pressing power on + vol up butten (i tried both knobs after MCU update)).
Do you have any idea for what i could do? I would really appreciate your help because im not able to solve it myself.
Thanks!
PS. Sorry if this is the wrong area

Is it an MTCD/E?
What does reseller suggest when contacted for support?
Its MTCD/E. They told me to upgrade the MCU to 3.69 and also the android 10 11/13 which I did both and the screen looks exactly the same. I’m wondering if mine didn’t get damaged in shipping. Here is a link to what I bought.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08F9LZLLB?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image
I have the same problem. It's a configuration issue. After updating MCU the screen start flickering and is pixelated. I guess the solution stays in upgrading the dmcu.img with the correct dmcu.ext screen#. I tried to ask the manufacturer which is the correct screen# for this unit but never heard back from them.
My screen looks good for a different resolution (1280x720 screen:18) but of course doesn't fit the physical screen.
@duttin26 Could you please share the dmcu.cfg file of your unit?
From Settings->Car->Factory Settings (code 126)->Export button -save to USB-A
I want to compare to see what is different between yours and mine
Here is mine

Question I got a new Head unit, I need a lot of help, please

Hi, guys I'm new at this, so bear with me, I got a new android 10 unit from AliExpress, https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLwdGdk, the t7 with 4gb 64gb storage. I got here and checked and it's fine, same specs. My car is a Peugeot 508 2013.
Everything is working according to the specs, but the canbus setting are very different from what I've seen in other units alike this one. The seller has been trying to help me, but is hard due the language barrier and the time difference, 12 hours. I have the code for the factory settings. 3368, dunno if that is helpful.
First I can't seem to find how to put the front camera after reverse with the lines, I tried one option and swaps, but stays on it doesn't automatically turns off. Also there is no option to change the resolution of the camera in the radio.
I saw another video and that unit got messages from the car into the unit.
That's a canbus problem, if it is can I buy another one? Or can it be upgraded without bricking it. Is a launcher issue?, I'm lost.
Also is it safe to install any other launcher via the playstore?
Any tips are really appreciate it.
Thanks
This is the canbus I have installed...
