Hi guys. I'm from Canada, Montreal. I use the AGAMA app as the main app for this unit (in the HOME function, I don't use the factory version, but I also have that option, but AGAMA is prettier). I bought this unit with the four 360º cameras, but I can't install it at all. I don't have the 360º roundadas app, I have the normal 360º app that came installed and the 360º view app.

I have access to the 360º app settings through the 4321 password and the factory settings 8888.

This package that I bought, comes with a CANBUS for the type of my car. And I can't configure which type of CANBUS I should use in the settings, Bao, Xipiu, and other settings for Chinese cars...

It's very frustrating not being able to configure this. I already messaged the seller, but he doesn't send me good information.

AND, The detail: I didn't connect the white wire from the reverse camera to the brake light, and when I step on the brake, it changes automatically for the reverse camera. Very bizarre!!!

First, I need to know if I connected the cables that came with the unit correctly. I have a 2014 mazda cx5. Does anyone have a picture of how to correctly connect the cables to the unit? Starting with this to know if I did it right...

Second, I don't have any image of the cameras, either it's black with stripes or it's several colored squares saying that there are none image.

All the camera cables are already connected to the vehicle. But it doesn't show any image. It shows absolutely nothing, like a TV without an antenna... It will be 2 years since I bought this unit and I can't use these cameras... Please, any help would be great for me. I just need these cameras to work. 😭

I'm going to attach here the photos I have so you can know which system I have in this gps radio unit. Everything on it works well, except the cameras... I bought the kit that also allows the installation of tvs (dvds) in the back seats of the car for passengers (but I don't intend to use it). I'm trying to pass on all the info I have about this unit.

I picked up a Bird View 360 cam system from Amazon, have it wired to my T9 head unit in my 4runner. The OEM backup cam has blue guide lines on the video... I read everywhere that the lines are in a camera itself... but when installing the 360 cam system and changing the RCA line over to the 360 cam feed, the damn blue lines are still there. So when the 360 cam system turns on, in reverse or blinkers for side view... the blue lines show up over the bird view (left side) and cam view (right side) of the screen.

Anyone know how to remove these freaking lines from the T9/T10 head units?
Thanks all!

Would anyone know how to reverse the image on the rearview camera? Mine shows the "real" picture, but I want it mirrored left and right. I tried going to Factory Settings, but I can't seem to be able to change anything - have to change camera type to HD, but then the 360 app does not start anymore. Any advice?

Also, the 360 app seems to just disappear after a few seconds (10-15 or so) when launching it manually. Is this because the trigger wire is not connected?

Hi there, recently installed a new tesla style android 10 head unit into a 2010 Freelander 2, also got a 360 camera system to go along with it. The head unit supports the 360 system, it has ports for it. When I go into the settings, there is no setup options similar to other android units I've seen, instead I have a 360 switch option (I have no idea what this does, all of the options are labeled rather poorly). The 360 Panorama application isn't visible unless I install it from the oem folder, and it wipes itself after I restart the unit if I do. Is this caused by not having the wiring done correctly? I have the AV in port and CVBS in coming off of the connection to the port, but don't get a signal on either.

When I do start the 360 panorama application after installing it, it doesn't open at all. It does provide a status icon in the tray.

Not sure how your Android unit works, but you might need to configure the camera type as 360 in the Factory Settings screen. When mine is not set to 360, the app fails to launch.

Problem is I only have a "360 Switch" option in the settings which doesn't seem to do anything. I've looked through every settings menu including developer options etc and that's the only relevant option I can find. It does have a 360 control option which I can set to the steering wheel but that doesn't do anything either. I've gone over the wiring several times for the past couple of days and I just can't see anything that would be causing the issue.

I have the same problem. The app only keep in front for 15s and then quit. Do you have a solution? thanks

Sort of. Until I connected the reverse light to the Android unit, it would disappear. Now that I did, it _will_ stay on the reverse view camera as long as I am in reverse; but if I simply launch the 360 app, it will disappear after 15 seconds. So I partially fixed it at least for the time when I am parking, but I haven't found a way to keep it constantly running (like let's say if I'm trying to drive through a tight spot and want to see the side cameras).

That is my situation too. When I turn left or right, I can see the side views without quitting. When I reverse, I can see the back view without quitting. You can actually see the bird view once quit if you enabled the floating window in the setting.

Someone in another thread just told me it is by design. There is an option in setting: touch delay (60s max, 15s default). You can make it 60s before it quits. The design is for safety.

Oh oh, which settings? I was sure I had looked. I hate stupid design decisions - can I please decide on my own what best fits my use case? lol. But 60 seconds would already be better.

I don't know yet since I have not check my car. Will update once I found out.

I found it in the setting "touch delay": from 1s to 60s and always on. The default is 15s. I changed to "always on", now this issue is solved.

The next issue is how to calibrate it without the cloth. My image looks like crap.

Hello, I have an android HU, which on the back it says 8667 (8 + 128). I've bought it two years ago. it came with the 4 cameras etc. But it now that I've installed the cameras. However when i go into settings and change it to 360, it display a message 360 not supported. ( see message on last image "No device ! unsupport 360 View ! " )

From the seller i should have got the HU which supports 360 but its too late now as i bought it two years ago. I've read somewhere that an IC chip can be missing.

My question is

1. Can this be a software problem?

2. If not a software problem, where can i buy the IC chip for 360 birdview? i can solder it myself if needed.

Hi. I have a question when I bought the car stereo he came with the 360 panoramic view application but by mistake I touched factory reset and all other applications such as CarPlay, youtube , zlink are available but I lost access to 360 panoramic view. Do you have the apk or tell me how can I install the app?

    Do you have one of those big SUV school bus type cars ?
    I just dont see whats to be gained, that moving your head couldnt solve.

    We all come here to learn. Even if he/she has a Smartcar does it really matter? Tell you the truth I wouldn't mind installing one. I think I remember reading somewhere on here that someone has it installed. You would need to have a video in on the HU. If the HU only has a video in for reverse then obviously it will only work when backing up.

    Thank you for your insights. Is there any way you can diagram what you typed out? I'm having trouble visualizing it but it sounds like it's exactly what I want to do. I want to hit reverse and see the reverse camera image with 360 view next it. I want to click my left or right turn signals and see the left or right views with the 360 view next to it.

    I just saw your post. Here's a quick diagram attached:
    From bottom to top, first you need to wire the car left, right, reverse signals to power the corresponding cameras themselves (you'll probably find a red cable coming out from each camera cable, that should be the camera trigger). Next you connect the left, front, back, and right camera cables to the 360 device. Finally, you connect the 360 device RCA output to the reverse camera input on the head unit and also connect the trigger output from the 360 device to the reverse input on the head unit. This way, the head unit will display the 360 output whenever it is active (reverse, left/right signal, configuration, etc)

    For the reverse signal that you need to connect to the reverse camera, you can either get it from the reverse light, or from the reverse signal originally entering the head unit from the car wiring plug and/or the canbox of the head unit.

    I hope it is clear.
