Question on Xtrons android Unit.

[dalmation53]

Yes saw it in car. Thanks i didnt know xda was on xtrons. I will research more on there.

it's either an app or under Settings/Car, and likely called out in the included owner's manual

edit: and honestly, your best source of info on these units is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto

All of the "name brand" units are made in China...

What brand and specs is that. I want the same for mine. Do the steering wheel controls work?

The company may be registered in UK or may be actually a UK company, the product definitely manufactured in China. However, after Hi-Lo converter to get rid of humming noise, I have no complaints whatsoever.

My screen goes black when i put it in reverse. For like the reverse camera feature. I don't want one or need one. Can i turn that feature off so when i put in in reverse my screen doesn't go black and music doesn't stop playing.

for the video, there's an option under the factory settings: Settings --> Car --> Factory Settings [password m123456] --> other --> Prohibit reverse). Set to disabled, apply, exit, reboot when prompted. If that doesn't work, then simply disconnect the reverse wire between the CAN box and the head unit (pink wire / pin 3 on mine)

the audio, there is a separate option under Settings --> Car (IIRC) to set the attenuation when reversing. Set it to none.

Bro you are a mf genious. It worked. That feature was driving me insane lol thanks so much brotha.

I get the same hum with headlights on but is barely noticeable when the music plays i can't hear it at all. Also download ok google for hands free operation is badass.

all of these units have terrible background noise on the line-level outputs (which is what feeds the rear/Bose amp). The only reliable way to mitigate is to use the speaker level outputs with a line-level converter.

these units all have a very cut down BT implementation -- phone, A2DP, and basic ODB only (ie, Torque). I've not found any unit where ODB11 is able to work, even after setting up the BT connection via the phone app (which is how you have to connect BT devices).

Has anyone tried to change the launcher on the xtrons units? Also, how do I change the wallpaper?

I changed the launcher to play with it but it seems like it got a little laggy. Downlaod zedge on playstore and go to wallpapers and set as home screen.

works perfectly. Can use one of the USB dongles ($40 on ebay) which includes an app that runs on the HU (which I've used on a few of these I've set up for others), or for AA there is a pure software solution called Headunit Reloaded (which I use)

the full screen units have tabs that are angled such that a plastic pry tool at the bottom edge will pop it out, at which point you just pull the unit out
