Hi all, new guy here with some problems.
I've bought a new headunit to replace my factory Skoda Stream Radio CD.
My car is an Skoda Octavia mk2 vRS year 2007, so any VW headunit should be OK in my car.
New headunit is a Joying Android 4.4.4 RK3188 with latest official firmware (June 2015).
I was trying to install it this morning for the first time and found several problems.
The most important one is the headunit doesn't power off even with my car completely shutdown and closed.
Headunit install instructions state there are two different methods to connect the headunit.
First and preferred one is using CANBUS decoder box, so headunit power is controlled through CANBUS decoder.
But if headunit doesn't power on when you turn on the car (that's happening to mine), you have to use second method: unplug CANBUS decoder box and connect ACC +12V red wires so that headunit gets powered.
With this second method the headunit starts up OK, but when i turn off the engine, take out the key or even close the car with remote control, headunit doesn't power off at all. I even tried to wait for 20 minutes but with no results. So i had to remove new headunit from the car to avoid battery drain...
I have upgraded firmware from Abril to June version so i got a new feature that allows to delay shutdown after ACC is off.
I set it to 30 seconds delay but still nothing. Headunit stays on.
I already asked to seller, and i'm waiting for an answer. But i thought maybe i could get some valuable ideas here at the forum.
Still don't understand why headunit is not powering on with CANBUS decoder connected. My car should support it, my factory Skoda Stream Radio CD is able to show climatronic info on display.
Other problems i found:
- Headunit buttons don't light even if i turn on car headlights. If i set button's colour in Settings\Elements buttons light for a pair of seconds to show new color, but then they go off again.
- I wanted to set Skoda logo at boot at Factory Settings but asks for a pin/password. Thought it was 126 but it isn't. What is the pin for Factory Settings?
- There's a slight buzzing coming from speakers when i turn on car headlights. That buzzing is not there with Skoda factory radio unit.
Long post, thanks in advance for your answers. :good:
Seems to me wrong or defected harness?
Does your car have factory amplifier? I had one that was making lot of issues. I figured out that the harness was the problem because they sent me a harness that is compatible with my factory head unit. But my car was standard trim that didnt include it. I had to cut one wire they told me to cut it. And it worked fine after that.

Thanks for your answer Scorbion,
Seller is going to send me a new Canbus box decoder. We think it must be faulty, that's why headunit doesn't power on or power off with it. Without Canbus box, ACC coming from VW harness is not a real ACC but a +12V to battery, because VW factory radio does all through canbus, and so headunit is always connected and doesn't power off.
Will update info when i get the new canbus box from seller.
Thanks

i have the same problem. can u fix it?
Did you solve this canbus problem?
Yes, new can bus decoder did the trick.
Long time ago though...
Hardware solution trumps everything
Had the same issue. Im also waiting for the supplier to respond. In the meantime, I just pulled the acc pin off the box and connected the radio to cig. lighter possitive. Works.
Hi All,
Just getting to grips with my KLD HU. I've upgraded to the latest MCU (2.83) and Malaysks FUSE ROM.
I find that if I am on the phone when I turn on the HU the bluetooth connects during the boot sequence but the sound output isn't turned on until android has started up. I thought that if I could turn off the BT when the HU powers down and turn it back on once android had booted then I wouldn't have this problem. However I don't know if this would work since its an external BT device.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Andy
I have been running the Joying 3188 standard double din in my car for 3 months now. I have a couple questions, and wanted to see if anyone has run into the same issue
Any way of changing the default volume on startup? I have an Audison Bit Ten DSP in my car which I'm controlling my volume through, problem is every time I start my car the head unit starts at a volume of 12 and have to turn it up every time.
Also, I have the CarService app running automatically on startup, but if I turn off the car and the head unit goes into standby, then start the car back up within 30 minutes, CarService wont automatically start. Its only when the head unit fully shuts down that Car Service will start up again
Not a big deal, but I got N7player running on it. When I shut the car off, the head unit goes into standby and the music will continually play in the background for the 30 minutes, any way of having it automatically pause when I turn off the car?
I feel that all these problems could be solved using tasker, but I havent the slightest clue how to use it properly. Does anyone have solutions?
Thanks
FYI, i'll play with it some and see if I can on my Joying 7001
also have you gone into factory settings and played w/ the levels there? Unsure if it'll help.

Hey guys,
Just installed my PX5 Oreo unit and wondering if anyone out there can help me out - whenever I turn on the unit it usually opens the radio up automatically and I never listen to the radio so have to turn it off and manually open spotify, it really bugs me!
Can I change the default setting so that it would open spotify automatically or at least can I stop the radio being activated when I turn the key?
Thanks
Interesting, because my Joying unit simply opens whatever was the last app opened before the unit shuts off. What unit do you have?
Hey everyone.
This is my first android headunit, Xtrons PQS1053BL with Android 10.0 for my BMW E53.
2 issues I have and I am wonderring if its just how these units normally operate, could be changed in settings, or they are faults in the unit I have.
1. The Wifi. I have a 4g usb data dongle pluggeed in for the wifi, it works fine when connected, but every time I turn the car off and the unit reboots or goes to sleep, the wifi turns off and needs to be restarted in settings. If I look in settings the wifi is actually switched off after sleep or reboot. Sometimes when I am drving the wifi will just switch off to, not lose connection, just switch off.
I would have thought just like a phone or laptop, the wifi would just be on and autoconnect from boot? Is this normal or a fault or am I missing somthing in the settings? I have spent a lot of time in the settings and also trying to google to issue. Would be great to have a wifi always on option.
2. If I have been listening to the radio or bluetooth audio when I turn the car off, it will always boot to this app first. This is an issue as I am running Ibus-app and I need this to boot first so the functions will work when I start the car. Even if I have another app in the foreground running while radio is going, it will always select the radio or BT audio as prioity on boot instead of the app I was using .
Is there a way I can stop the unit from booting to its last state? just so its a fresh boot each time?
I cant find a setting for this either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
If I have been listening to the radio or bluetooth audio when I turn the car off, it will always boot to this app first.i love this radilo in the song.
