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.
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.

Hello every one.
I have a problem with my HU its a HIPZO MTCE octa core android 8.0.0.
The problem is that the radio application does not always work. Sometimes it works normally but most of the time the application starts but no sound is heard or tuned to FM or AM stations.
When it is working incorrectly it will not be corrected even if I turn off and then turn on the device or engine of the car. The next day it may work and it may not, 1 to 10 work OK.
When it is working properly, there is no malfunction until I switch off the head unit or the car.
Can anyone help please?
hI, after get in the car to start driving, in some cases the subwoofer just dont get signal from the unit, the only thing that makes it come back is to unplug the main radio fuse ( in the car ) wait few seconds and plug in back. ( Then start the car/ Ignition again ) , reset button makes subwoofer pop and after the restart still no sound, all other outputs like front/rear RCA outputs and front/rear speaker unit amplifer working fine always
I check RCA OUTPUT when i get the problem and there is not signal, it's like it's muted, this is happening like 1 time per week, because i have it on auto sleep mode, the unit doesn't power off when I cut the ignition so that is the reason I need to remove the fuse, another workarround is to put power mode to 1 minute, cut the ignition, wait 1 minute to get sure unit is totally off and start again, problem solved but...

Gracias!
Did you find solution ? i have updated my MTCE_GS_V2.78_3 to MTCE_GS_V3.44 and my subwoofer stopped playing... PX5 DSP unit.
Good Day
I am hoping to get some help from this Forum.
I have a Seicane Android Head Unit
PX5 - rk3368
Android 10
MTCE HF V3.55
Problem is that the screen on the head unit is very dark and the touch does not work.
My phone is connected via bluetooth and the strange thing when I receive a call the screen comes to life ... It is bright and works fine when the call is active. As soon as the call ends the screen goes dark and the touch stops working.
Any idea what is the cause and how to fix?
Thanks
