I know this is a long shot but I have a 2015 Hyundai Sonata and I just took the car to the dealer to have the Android Auto Software installed. I had to sideload the AA App on my N7 2013 Wifi. I turned on the hotspot on my phone and connected the tablet to the internet, paired my tablet to the car and connected the tablet to the USB port but I cannot get the AA App to display. I also tried going to TMobile and doing the same thing with a brand new G4 with no luck. I have a Sony Z3 so no Lollipop yet. HELP
Hello all,
I replaced the original BMW Professional car radio with a MTCB MX RK3066 head unit. Everything works fine except that the front parking sensor is no longer working, it does not beep anymore (The REAR one is still working/beeping) . They (Both front and rear) used to work fine with the original BMW Professional car radio.
1 ) Is there a way to fix this front parking sensor problem?
2) Is there a way to use a third party android app to display visually the distance on the MTCB MX RK3066 unit instead of hearing the beeps only?
Thanks in advance
Guys,
Any advice will be highly appreciated...

You should check with your HU seller for the availability of a CANBUS decoder for your car/HU combination. The CANBUS decoder will allow the headunit to access all CANBUS info - parking sensors, door switches, air conditioning settings, etc.
2 years ago i bought a eonon unit for my ford focus (kd 7018) g616X rk3066 4.2 android. the unit was great and preformed well.
a year ago i bought another android unit but from ebay for mitsubishi outlander rk 3066 4.4. this unit had a faulty radio tuner that was poorly built. also, the reception was awful (on and off reception and need to on off the unit to hear properly)
i sold the ford car and was left with the good ford unit.
today i tried to find a solution for the tuner problem and all over sound problem in the outlander unit. i tried the dab and it worked ok, but i wanted the simplicity of the radio app. after reading a question here about switching screen i just got the outlander unit from the car and started to swap the screens.
i had much luck that the units probably came from the same assembly line but with different qc . so all i needed to do is chang two flat cables and change all the steel case between units.
after i changed the screens (and buttons and facia) it just worked!
i did not change the card with the processor and memory but to make the "face" fit i need to replace cd/case and dismantle all the unit.
weird thing was that the car symbol (ford) and (mitsubishi) "stayed" with the motherboard.
some pics:
You can change the car symbol go to factory settings and code is 126 and u can see car logos menu

Hello everyone,
I would like to install an android car radio in my 2012 fiesta, not so much for having the color display, the touchscreen or the possibility of seeing videos but to change the main unit and have better sound (I have installed quality speakers, I have soundproofed the doors and installed an amplifier, but there is a background noise, which also increases with the engine revs and having tried with 2 different amplifiers, I have to assume that it is the fault of the car's head unit).
The problem is that Chinese sellers are not very clear about compatibility;
for the fiesta from 2013 onwards there should be no problem, but I have a 2012.
In the past few years I have been looking for an android radio that would display informational messages on the display and allow the car settings to be adjusted (as is done with the original radio), but it was not possible for fiestas from 2008 to 2012.
I would like to keep the vehicle information messages (such as for open doors or climate controls), I would also like the steering wheel and facia dashboard controls to work; if it could also work the bluetooth would be great! (I have a sony car radio, the one with black facia, with usb and bluetooth, no synch).
Among the various I contacted is Witson, but they were unclear and contradictory about compatibility; one employee told me that it is compatible, another told me that it is not compatible.
Even the employees of belsee, jdaston and Ljda have told me that their units are compatible with my car. but I found no reviews about it.
is there someone here on the forum that can help me, maybe someone who has more information or who has installed one?
Thanks
PS
I am attaching the images of my car and radio model (2012 Ford Fiesta, titanium version)
Hello,
I have similar thoughts and installed android head unit to my mk7 facelift fiesta (2013) I'm new on this things but I will try to help.
After the installation of head unit, I still have the information messages for ac and doors, steering wheel and dashboard buttons are still usable(adapted to new system for different functions). My usb and aux port is still working. The system I have has bluetooth, wifi, gps, carplay/android auto(wifi and cable), other apps(play store), rear view camera. Only rear parking sensors not showing on system because they're not car spesific theyre universal parts, I you have original sensors they will also shown in screen. All this compatibility comes from canbus adapters, theyre spesific to car model which comes with head units and it manages all the communication/adaptation with car, So If head unit you looking for is specified for your car, everthing has to be similar in your condition too.
Before I had this unit. My car is fiesta 1.0 ecoboost titanium x , in Turkey it comes with this unit.
After installation, this is my unit ''AC8227L'' 1gb ram and android 6.0 version, exact same design with picture
I did some modding on theme of course and this is how it looks now
I also modded new boot logo with little photoshop

How is the sound quality? I installed a similar item, but 9 inch. Sound quality is really poor compared to factory radio. The OP is having a Sony radio so I think changing it to a chinese android radio would be multiple steps backwards.
thanks for sharing

Where did you buy it
I bought this Vanku head unit on Amazon. It's a double din 7 inch screen.
It's my first Android head unit and I am very, very happy.
I've fitted it into a Honda Civic hatch Mk9 (Euro version) so I needed to buy and install a new fascia plate.
To get steering wheel control working, I had to buy some harnesses and a canbus.
I used the following:
CT27AA71Honda - DIN Antenna Adapter With Phantom Power Supply. *For Aftermarket Radio With DIN Antenna Connector*CTSMARTLEAD
This head unit connection lead can be used with all of the Connects2 steering wheel control interface rangeCTSHO006.2Honda Steering Wheel Control Interface
Steering controls work great after being programmed using the onboard button learning app.
It comes with a microphone, GPS and WiFi antennas and double USB leads. It can also be hooked up to a front and rear camera, but I haven't used these features (I already have rear camera assist on my car, and haven't purchased a DVR camera for the front yet).
The first boot up took under a minute, and the subsequent boot up when turning on the ignition is a couple of seconds.
So far everything feels lightning fast - navigation, app launch, video and music.
I am not getting a great WiFi connection, but I'll check the antenna wire is properly installed before moaning too much.
Bluetooth works great for calls and A2DP. I've also installed an OBD2 adapter and I'm using Torque Pro on the head unit with no issues.
Most apps so far seem to work great - the only app I'm having an issue with is eWeLink (which I use to control all my home automation) and I can't seem to press the log-in button as it's very low down in the screen (app doesn't seem to scale properly for a horizontal screen). I wanted this as I could then open my front gate from the head unit, but I will have to figure out a different way.
The included manual is actually pretty good - the English is by and large pretty understandable.
I will try upload some pictures a bit later - the main purpose of this post is that I wanted to help anyone else researching this particular unit as I could find very little when I was trying to make my purchase decision.
