Car radio app

Hi, does anyone know what radio app supports vordon ac-8290 nexus. I don't seem to find one that works. Rds would be a bonus, if it is even possible.

As always: Radio is placed on the main board and Android is just some sort of "monitor" for it and reacts on system internal communication. There is mostly no other radio app which will work with your main board. May be you can try https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...9-intel-ts10-uis7862-and-ts18-uis8151.4024701 if your unit is supported.

Well, but this is not FM/AM, it´s another source. Other that DAB+, he could use as example any Online radio application.... but this does not change the bad FM reception...

Thank you for your reply, but sadly it doesn't work.

Most of the time there is something wrong with the antenna connection.

VW, Audi... with diversity:
If your car has multiple antennas like VW, Audi.... you need to make deeper changes to get a good FM reception, because these units do not support diversity. In this case, you need to search a car shop who is able to disconnect the diversity module and connect one single antenna to the unit. In this case you need to get a good antenna amplifier to get this working.

If your car has no deversity:
These cars have an antenna amplifier which needs just a phantom power adapter to get in between the Radio and the antenna, connected to the amplifier cable of your unit. If there is no, just add it to the cable which is marked as ACC.
DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE CABLE MARKED WITH BAT!

These adapters are really cheap. Don´t buy the cheapest for $5, look for a known supplier.
Before doing anything else, try that out and report back.

Hi, thank you for your reply. I just ordered tha dab+ usb and will try that out. Its not that the FM radio doesn't work, its just the stock radio app is not good, that is why I was looking for an alternative, preferably with RDS and AF which this one does not have, also there is no customization and so on.

In this case you should look for DAB-Z.
This app is hosted in here and the best you can use.... and it´s free.
