I'm on a 14 Pro, with a Mekede M300S headunit, on the newest CarLink app and it works fine for me. You have to press the button twice. First time you jump to the start of the current song and if you press it again within 1-2 seconds, it'll jump to the previous song.

I'm using 12 pro max. and my car has a wheel instead of a button to change songs.
When I turn it down, it goes to the next song, but when I turn it up, it does not return to the previous song or the beginning of the song.
It goes to previous and next songs in applications like radio app other than carplay.

It must be something to do on how CarPlay interprets the command it gets from the canbus / button.
Have you tried updating the CarLink app? I posted a file HERE which is from September.

In the Settings you can also switch the behavior for Next/Previous and Vol+/Vol-.
You could try if that does something for you.

I don't mean the SWC Setting, I mean Settings -> Factory -> Original Car Agreement.
It has:
Reversal Previous And Next ( This reverses your CANbus steering wheel next/previous behavior (Spotyfy is known for this) )
Reversal Volume ( Reverses the Volume +/Volume - in case your CANbus steering wheel volume keys/arrows work the other way round )

Ok, I found what you said but there is a weird problem. it's reverses steering wheel next/previous but it's still works for only next song. Not sure what's the problem

still have the same problem.

Because carlink is a hack emulator of Chinese 3rd party origin and not authentic/sanctioned carlink.
If wanting carlnk, best buy a genuine carlink unit.

yes, but there must be a solution. Why only the next song feature works but the previous song feature does not.

I solved the problem. I tried different canbus settings and vehicle models from the vehicle selection settings. Although my car is Renault Clio 5 2022 and xp canbus, when I select bg canbus settings renault kaleos 2017 vehicle, all steering keys functions work.

This depend of your canbus decoder, in head unit factory settings / canbus, you can chose the type of canbus decoder, (this depend of your car model) some even let you control A/C and some setting of the car from the head unit, so the head unit it's capable but depend on the canbus decoder. For example for my VW head unit I can see Speed, RPM, Odometer, outside temp, fuel, battery volt, etc. but I can't control anything.

What car do you have? And what canbus decoder? My unit have the same vehicle info apk and show oil instead of fuel but this is only a translation error of the programmer and should be easy to mode.
Right now I don't have the stock apk I need to check on my home computer for the stock apk science I run a mode apk to match my car.

It's rare that doors info don't work science all other information show correctly maybe a faulty canbus decoder. I upload a picture of my decoder.
For the apk modifications I decompile the apk and mode in android studio. For canbus apk and for Vehicle info apk I made changes direct on the unit with apk editor (you can download from play store).

In the head unit settings do you test other canbus settings? I can't remember exactly how many for VW but I think at least 3 different.

I mode canbus apk and vehicleinfo apk just for the pictures of the car that originally show but the information it's the same from original apps. This apps work with the canbus decoder information received from the car ( in this case from canbus line of VW) I install this unit on a old VW bug and I replicate original messages ( from VW) and send information with teensy 3.1
Can someone please send me the vehicle info apk?

Car launcher A2DP icon in home screen not working

I just installed Car launcher because layout looked pretty good.
However, I ran into a issue.
I use A2DP often to listen music on my phone. So, I placed A2DP icon in home screen.
However, with car launcher, it just opens Bluetooth phone instead of A2DP. A2DP opens fine in app drawer and even shows icon with bluetooth headphone. However, when I place this icon in home screen, the icon changes to regular bluetooth icon, while the name stays A2DP.
I believe this is due to the fact A2DP and bluetooth actually is a same app with different options.
Anyone know how to get this working?

Bump.
I am also looking for a answer on how to resolve this.
Any help would be appreciated
Launcher: Google play link
Can't seem to locate the A2DP apk
Firmware: MTCD_GS_V1.93_1
I have the same issue with the launcher, I already sent an email to the developer.
[email protected] https://plus.google.com/100724277291367457813 no answer yet.
Maybe you can try to email him too.
Also have this issue. I found a work around though...
Using tasker, I made the Ad2p app launch whenever I launch the "Bluetooth" app. It works well by just opening the correct app after the bluetooth app opens.
Of course you loose access to the Bluetooth app.

I have the same issue using Car Launcher Pro. I like listening audiobooks. I do it at work, than continue in the car on the way home. All symptoms are exactly as yours. I was going to contact the author and then saw this tread.
What if each of us contacted the author and explained the issue?
Also, what if we rate the app with one star down for this issue and explain why we gave less stars publicly? I've just done it.
i think this happens with any ROM other than the default Joying ROM, like if you use Nova i think it goes away as well, at least on the Intel units

well this thread says there is a workaround:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...s/bluetooth-music-apk-file-joying-jy-t3537770
Good news, it works,I used Smart Launcher Pro for these pics, but the same works for Nova, I tried it on both
Smart Launcher Pro is a little different, you have to "add an icon" to add an app to the homepage

Choose shortcut
At this point it is roughly the same as picking a widget in Nova, choose Activities
Then look for Bluetooth
Then you can expand it and pick Bluetooth Music
And you can see it appears on the homepage and will open the Bluetooth Music app
Hello,
The guide does not work. The point Activities is missing.Is there another solution maybe?

1. Install Tasker and Tasker App Factory on your Android Head Unit.
https://www.xda-developers.com/tasker-v4-9-is-out-with-non-root-programmable-firewall-multi-window-automation-s-pen-recognition-and-more/
2. Open Tasker and in the "Tasks"-section open a new task by clicking the plus sign. Give it a name.
3. In the next window click on plus sign again and choose "App" as action category. Then choose "Launch App" as your action. In "App Selection" choose your A2DP app.
4. Hit the back button to get to the "Task Edit" window. Click on the square at the bottom and choose an icon. Then hit the back button again.
5. You should be back in the main window an see your task. Long press it and click on the three dots in the upper right corner. Choose "Export" and in the next dialogue "As App". Let it export and Auto-Install.
6. Now you can use your new app for A2DP in any launcher.
Optional: If you want you can uninstall Tasker again. It isn't necceserily needed anymore.
Let me know if it works for you and have a great time

Question Ford C-Max Android Unit - My Feedback and help request

Hi everyone,
so i've bought a new android unit for my car. I have been checking the other posts in this forum but they are kind of "pro level" so i felt the need to clarify some doubts. I know you guys are experts, if you can help be i would be thankful. I'll also provide some feedback that maybe can help people who are considering buying it.
The unit i've bought is this one:

I have a Ford Grand C-Max manufactured 11/2015 (the restyled one), and i thought this radio would be a good fit (i've had other android units in my past cars). I bought the 6G+128GB version (TS6 version), with Android 11. The brand is "Navifly", however i guess this is just another brand variation.
1) Feedback​
Positive​- Fast and fluid Android experience - no lag to complain about.
- Sound Quality - a great improvement over the Ford Sync 2 original radio - better definition, better bass, supports higher volumes without distortion
- Radio has RDS - it actually shows the station name (we don't have DAB in Portugal, it is still FM) and the tuning quality is good
- GPS is ok. Not awesome, but usable. Supposedly, it also gets some Glonass satellites, but as you know Glonass constellation is sparser, so it usually only gets GPS triangulation. I use Waze, sometimes it takes a bit to understand where it is.
Negative​- Quality of design and build of the plastic fairings: the plastic fairings are much lower quality relatively to the Ford ones. They don't precisely fit the car dashboard, by a couple of milimiters. I have it provisionally installed, but i'll have to shave some plastic when i get it definitely installed. Additionaly, the chines fairings don't have the metal clips/retainers that the original plastics have to get it securely in place. I've has to order some to get this sorted out...
- The CANBUS communication:
-> i am not getting any steering wheel communication at all (no volume control, no call pick up. This is the worst part for me
-> the information of the parking sensors is erratic. My car has 6 sensors at the front and 6 at the back (360º coverage) and there is quite an error on the info shown in this android unit, so i am not not trusting it a lot. Besides that, it is slow to react (couple of seconds), and the car should be drawn vertically (you brain needs to rotate the view 90º to get it right).
-> No Park Assist (automated parking) information is shown at the unit, so the Park assist is not currently working
-> I can get reversal signal, climate info (when i change it), and open door information.
- The screen. For its size, its low resolution, not bright enough, and it is very reflective. Not very happy with it.
​2) Help Request​I need help to sort the CANBUS limitations. This is the canbus box they sent me:
I guess this box is not the most adequate for my C-Max. I can't read chinese characters so i really don't know what it says at all. I've tried to get into the canbus box definitions in the settings menu and have tried selecting other canbus choices with no avail: i couldn't get steering wheel info at all. So i've went a bit overkill and ordered two canbus boxes to see if a different canbus box solve my issues. I've ordered these two:
- Another Hiworld box (i guess this is a newer version than the one i have, so i hope they have sorted out the issues) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002718903038.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.27424c4dac8EZc
- An XP one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002327630203.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.27424c4dac8EZc
So i now have three questions for you guys:
1) Is this a FYT unit? Or a Mekede?
2) Will any of the new boxes sort out my canbus miscommunication?
3) Is there any place where i can get a firmware update? Or canbus firmware update? This is what the Android System settings show about my unit:
Thank you guys in advance for your help!!
I have tried other two canbus boxes from Hiworld and XP, with no avail. Still no steering wheel controls. Any suggestions?

Hi,
1) Mekede = FYT, not every FYT is a Mekede. But your unit is a Topways built unit sold by reseller TopNavi, so neither a Mekede nor a FYT nor a NaviFly. You are in the wrong sub-forum. Please ask in the general Android Head Units subforum
2) Ask your reseller TopNavi.
3) Please ask your TopNavi reseller or in the general Android Head Units subforum. There your will find the TSx series with firmwares and other information.
And by the way: It is a fake Android 11. It is still Android 10 (Api/SDK 29) as displayed on the web page. One can write a script that will set the "Android level" to any version you like: Android 10, 11, 31, 451, 10961, 4, ..
But it is a nice looking unit compared with the standard Ford units.
EDIT: This seems to be a FYT after all. Sorry for the confusion.
In my signature you find on the 3rd line the "HWGetInfo.apk". Please run it and share the created zip file.

Question [Help needed] VAG UIS8581A MCU issue

Hello everyone, I'm having a bit of an issue with my unit, it's for Audi/Skoda/Seat, VAG cars in general. I purchased it from here:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003467681606.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.11.21ef18023EBsYb
It's the 4gig ram version. I stupidly flashed a random MCU, and now my physical buttons don't work. I think I managed to flash the right MCU firmware, but the buttons still don't work. I can kind of get the volume and tone knobs to register just one step, very rarely, but no other buttons work, and the panel key learning does not respond to anything at all. Does anyone know why this might be? I'm assuming it's a resistance issue, but I wouldn't know how to resolve this. Could anyone please assist me with this? Is there any way to reset the resistance, or do anything else? Attaching

Settings -> Factory -> MCU Panel Key. Is it set to OFF. If so set to ON.
This setting determines whether those hardware buttons or panel soft-buttons are activated or not.
Hi, I should have mentioned that that is set to on. I got an apk for setting mcu keys from a user on 4pda, and all the buttons on the device work, including pressing in the left knob. The issue is that the actual knobs don't work, and on the right knob nothing works, even pushing it in. The panel key learning in the factory settings does not work at all.

Just to understand you correctly (as to me your answer is a bit unstructured):
The square buttons left and right from the screen work?
And the top-left rotating knob works on pressing? mute or 3 seconds to sleep?
But the left knob does not react when rotating it, to act on volume up/down?
And the right rotating knob does not work at all?
And you mention "The panel key learning in the factory settings does not work at all.".
Do you have a CANbus? In that case it will indeed not work as the CANbus hardcodes the buttons (although there are apks that can override this)

This is correct. I have a canbus box connected. Do you know how I could override the canbus box? I should mention that the knobs *sometimes* very rarely, work. I guess the electrical resistance of the knobs needs to be calibrated with the mcu and/or canbus box or something of the sort.

Forget about the resistance. If you have a Canbus, the unit/mcu sends/receives digital signals to/from the CANbus and acts on it.
For overriding the apk calls, see my FYTHWOneKey.apk (in my signature, but not really maintained anymore).
For overriding the MCU control, see @seb21's modded com.syu.ms.apk.

Is your apk the one where you can change the system calls of some buttons, but not really reassign them? Also, not sure if it's because I'm on mobile, but I don't see a signature. I'll try the modded ms apk and see what happens.

Say you want to assign something else to the BAND or NAVI button of your unit, you can select in my HWOneKey apk another application or system call or script. I do not know if that is what you mean with "really reasign them".
And @seb21's apk does the same, but on a "deeper" level.
