I have been using my head unit for a few weeks now, and the GPS has up til now worked OK, finding maybe 20 satellites in less than a minute. For the last few days it has taken about 15 minutes for the satellites to be found. Anyone else experienced this? Any possible solutions?
Many thanks

Is there anywhere an option that the head unit is starting faster. I have set the sleep option on but the unit needs a really long time till the launcher shows up (it doesn't matter if it's the Car Launcher Pro or FCC Launcher).

In some videos i have see that the unit starts in maybe 1-2 seconds.

If you have Junsun V1 Pro with Mtk8257 CPU you could try to add launcher to quick start with:

With Agama it works great.

Hello I wanted to use Android auto but whether it's Spotify or amazon music or radio tuning it works for 3 seconds then goes to stop so I press play and it starts again do you have any idea? I uninstalled Android auto several times and it's the same I have the latest firmware! Thanks
I have the Junsun 4G Pro
Hi, I had the same issue, I followed this steps to fix it:
- on your phone, go to bluetooth settings, edit the settings for your Junsun device, and disable Media audio.

I think only the camera picture is connected with the yellow cinch connector of the 6 pins cable.

The trigger wire should be a brown wire which is not connected by default. Or are you using a can box?
Hello yes it is possible that it uses the canbus me the brown cable leaves from the car radio connector to the canbus connector and I did not know that it had to be cut to connect it to the wire which comes from the reverse gear! I have the 4Glite V1 pro from Junsun a real hassle even the Internet is slow 10 minutes to download an application from Google play

I think your can box is translating the can information "reverse gear" and gives 12V+ to the brown trigger wire.
You could try to bypass the can box if you have another source for the brown reverse wire. E.g. a cable from the reverse light or your cars wiring harness provides a BACK signal. You could also use a multimeter to check if the can box provides this signal delayed.

Please be aware that a crazy mixture of topics may prevent people from answering you, if they can't answer all questions or if it's too time consuming. Always cut the elephant in prices.

I expected that you have a Junsun V1 Pro with Mtk8257 CPU because that's the title of the thread. Did you performed an update to the latest December 2022 firmware? It's the best fw I tried and improves performance - especially after disabling Junsun Security app.

Additionally you could check if the applications on your phone have the permission to autostart. Had this problem with a Xiaomi phone.

Yes sorry if I spoke several times on the site! Ok I will see the applications because I have a xiaomi 11T and for the firmware I installed it from a link of the seller which brought me back to your site and I took the one of December 20 install without problem finally almost I no longer have the original Iglo gps good no problem I use waze and I no longer have Aix assistant supplied as standard so I spoke to the seller about it who gave me another firmware which dates from December 26 I have not tried yet I will see this weekend! Thank you for your help, that's nice of you!

You're welcome. Be happy to get rid of the navigation app shipped with the device. I've written with the software vendor and he confirmed that this is an illegal pirated software. Junsun is not allowed to sell its devices with the navigation app.

Yes I suspected it was hacked like most applications that come from China! Thanks

Is there any way to trigger blank screen from steering wheel? (Not like the "on/off" option of SWC, but like the moon icon in the android status bar.) If not with the stock launcher then with another launcher or app (like AppSwitcher)?

A more general question: Is there any solution to get the max out from steering wheel controls? I mean SWC of this HU offers 18 options PLUS there are a lot of apps to launch-switch-control PLUS some activities to deal with (blank screen for example). Meanwhile I have a maximum of 3 steering wheel control buttons to sacrifice.

I think AppSwitcher may be the closest one, but honestly, after spinning through all its topic pages, I'm still not sure what it is exactly capable of.

I'm always happy to get feedback in the AppSwitcher thread if you tried the latest alpha version and if the status quote is working as expected on your head unit.
If you have questions and ideas let me know there, too.

Not with the options the head unit offers by default. The stock launcher is garbage an can do nothing. Just show a non changeable picture of a sports car.

No. The head unit does not allow to configure things like "long press", "double press". If you use a can box you even can't configure the SWC at all.

Okay, let's start it over, it may need more explanation.

In the defense of the stock launcher I suspect some hidden development happened here, so I see now 8 "skins", without the stupid car animation. One of them looks promising, offering ten app shortcuts on each page and a big button to blank the screen.
I've mentioned that I have 3 buttons to sacrifice. Now they are assigned as 1) back 2) home screen 3) off. Combining it with the above mentioned skin I can pretty much switch to any application by 2 clicks.
My two biggest problems currently are
- VLC stops playing, Android Auto disconnects, ... when I invoke "off"
- I need to poke the touchscreen too

I've seen three different blank screen behavior:
a) off: blaNks screen + VLC stops playing. Available through SWC out of the box.
b) blaNk screen: blaNks screen + VLC continues playing. Available through the moon icon in the android status bar.
c) blaCk screen apps: Just something that paints screen black, but doesn't switch backlight off. Garbage.
I'm looking for a way to achieve b) functionality via SWC, instead of the a). Most probably it will work the same way as AppSwitcher; an app will be hacked in place of the GPS app. The moon icon and the alternative skin does the trick, so must be doable. The only thing is that I didn't find an app that does it or can be configured to do it.

Well, google research didn't come to an acceptable result, and honestly installing - configuring - de-installing every candidate I find on my own would consume more time I'm willing to afford.

That's why I was turning to collective consciousness. Is there a simple solution on the above? If not, is there a solution on it (like another launcher, etc)?

    I have this device, the microphone is really poor, can I change some settings to improve the microphone?
    Use an external mic and deconnect the internal one:

    Will try step #2 and #5 tomorrow.. thank you!
    Could be a good idea to check if ACC and B+ aren't swapped.
    Meanwhile if you could help me with few things too please..
    1. How to disable 'pop up' Air conditioning info ? Every time i change something on AC its displayed on screen and its there for few anoying seconds..and even worse every now and then by itself
    I think I've seen somewhere in the 8878 menu an AC setting. Maybe it helps to turn it off. Don't know if it was in Others or Menu Icons section.
    Another approach would be to disable the AC activity via an ADB command so Android blocks its execution.

    2. How to turn on led lights on buttons on left side (power,home,+,-).. i found menu for changing colors but it is just completely off?
    The head unit has an ILL pin. If you turn on your cars lights the ILL provides a 12V+ signal. Sure, you could also connect ACC from OEM radio connector to ILL input of the head unit to always turn on the button background illumination.
    3. Is it true that if i have canbus i cannot configure steering wheel buttons in SWC as as it is now SWC won't recognise my buttons but most of them works fine (volume, next, voice ..)
    Absolutely correct. But maybe your cars SWC is realized by a resistance matrix which gets exposed to the OEM radio connector. In this case you can bypass the can box, use the KEY1/KEY2 pins of your head unit and so the learning function.
    You could also check if the not recognized buttons get logged (logcat reader). In this case you could use AppSwitcher app for this buttons.

    In 8878 menu, you have a setting for AC type, or something like this. You have one fullscreen option (that I hate too), and two aditional bars on bottom of display; choose ac type (or something like this) 2.

    I dont have AC type option just AC enable, disable..and on disable its still working
    You are right. The option is under CAN menu.

    Air ui option

    @galaxynexus789 you must enter to advanced setup (8878 code) and enable AA/Car play and phone link.

    First USB is 3.0 (there you will Connect phone), second is 2.0 for USB flashdisk

    In advanced setup you can change boot logo to your car brand too

    GPS - is antena cable connected properly?

    Hi thanks to all for your useful posts , i have a junsun radio 2gb+32gb whit 4g , i think is v1pro but many things are different to the other user posted here,​

    this device is the device i purchased :​


    View attachment 5439269

    I have one problem with reverse camera when I put on reverse the car ( toyota rav4 2010 ) nothing happens, the reverse cable gets 12v but the reverse camera app not launching . when i put reverse and the video wire of the camera is connected to aux video in I can get image from camera, but i need to launch the aux video app every time i put reverse.​

    I have something like this:​


    View attachment 5439271

    So my question are:​

    1) Is this a v1pro radio?​

    2) Someone has the same problem with the camera or knows what is happening?​

    3) There is any update for this radio?​

    Sorry my bad English, here are some pics from the device:​

    Thanks for your help​

    As soon as there are +12 V on the reverse wire your should see the rear view camera app with a black screen (if rear view camera signal is not connected).

    I think you have this device:

    Not a V1 pro with an old android version.

    I just received a reply from JunSun support that it's not possible to connect Internet through Bluetooth in the unit. The only option is mobile hotspot after all
    They told me the same thing and it's not true, I can do tethering by bt. I copy and paste from a post that I put pages back, I hope it helps you.

    My headunit is a kapud mtk8257, but it is very similar to Junsun V1 Pro.

    In 90% of the cases, if before connecting the bluetooth on the mobile I am already allowing tethering (phone) automatically the headunit picks up the internet from the mobile.
    But other times I have to force it: the button is "hidden", once connected to the phone, go into settings, click on the magnifying glass/search engine, look for "previously connected devices", click on your phone, and you will see that one of the buttons is "allow internet connection" or something similar.
    PS: I have the radio in Spanish language, but the name of the menus should be like this, or similar.

    Firmware installed in meantime?
    Today I applied the Firmware Stock update procedure. The procedure was successful and the tablet works ok. It remains to put it back in the car and see how it behaves in tests. This was possible for the two users who thank them once again: djborsi and TorstenH. I removed the tablet from the car and made the connections to be able to work with a + 12V DC / 220v power supply. For those who want to power it separately from the car, I put some pictures after the procedure and a wiring diagram. I made a video with the FW update procedure. Because I noticed that the tablet heats up a lot, I mounted a 12V / DC fan, It has the size 70X70mm. and thickness 15 mm. It was from an old CPU cooler. It is fastened at the back with 4 screws as seen in the photo. I put a 40 Ohm series resistor. to reduce speed and noise. I hope that what I posted here will bring a little help to those interested.
