JY-UN138 - Joying 8" 2DIN Android 4.4.4

[poyz]

I ordered this from the CarJoying website.

https://www.carjoying.com/2-din-car...-bluetooth-dab-wifi-mirror-link-obd2-nfc.html

It took less than 1 week to arrive and it also had postage tracking details.

I installed this into my 2016 Toyota Fortuner (Australian model). Below you can see a picture of what the original head unit looks like. It's about 8-9 inches and I didn't want to install it using the original facia because there would be a very big gaping hole around the headunit. You can find 2Din facias on EBay and Aerpro webiste

I didn't want to cut up the original wiring harness on the car so I bought the following harness from the Car Joying website. 3 of the plugs were not required for my car and I had to re-wire SWC1 and SWC2 into the correct wires

I also used this 24pin plug for the reverse camera. The Toyota camera uses 5V (not 12v). I had to tap this into the reverse wire in the wiring harness I bought. Like I said earlier, I didn't want to touch the car harness.

I had to modify the original mounting brackets to remove the locating bumps so that it would fit the new head unit. I don't have pictures of what I did, but you can see the original mounting brackets here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i9neetzctpu2h7p/IMG_20160618_134150.jpg?dl=0

Here's the finished result

Some items of note with this head unit.
1.) I initially had some issues with install apps from the Play store. Something error about "Cannot install to SDCard or internal memory". I used a paper clip to reset the unit and it seems to have fixed it.
2.) Wireless signal strength is weaker than my older 7" 2Din Android 4.4.4 headunit. My other car has one like this https://www.carjoying.com/2-din-car...th-and-gps-navigation-rotate-menu-hd-800.html and it seems to get faster download speeds and signal strength.
3.) The launcher cannot be changed. You're stuck with 2 options only
4.) The "factory settings password" is 3368 - None of the information documented here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Hui_Fei_Type#Factory_Settings_.22Passwords.22 is relevant to this new unit
5.) I much prefer the old menu system. If you watch here https://youtu.be/W-Q3qz0dgd0?t=377 you'll notice a separate app is launched to get to the headunit specific settings. In my other headunit, all these settings are embedded into the normal Android Settings App. This application has a lot of toggles for settings that have lost their translation from Chinese to English. None of toggles are documented so you'll find yourself switching stuff on/off trying to figure out what's changed.
6.) No root Unit can be rooted using Kingoroot. I used an older version but it worked
7.) All things aside, it's actually a very good head unit. I've only had it in for 1 day but it's done everything it's supposed to do

Here are some pictures of the system information

First post updated. I have root

 

[EagleSoldier]

Hi,

my Radio arrived yesterday.....

I've rooted the unit and installed Xposed (Youtube in background, Youtube Adaway, ....)

Everything is working good.

Now I am looking to install a custom Rom on it (DSA Rom)....lets see -> there is a problem with the MCU....its not compatible with the "other" Roms here on XDA

 

[poyz]

I found this website to have some useful info that is related to this unit
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=738689&st=180
I used Chrome to auto-translate from Russian to English. It's not perfect, but it's good enough.

The videos here are also somewhat relavant
http://www.witson.com/en/introduce001.html?newsTypeID=100022485&newsType=Video F9XXX Android 4.4

Not sure of the ROMs/MCUs here are relevant, not willing to try yet

Not the same unit as yours, but my Joying has worked like a champ

I ordered this from the CarJoying website.
Here are some pictures of the system information

It seems i have the same mcu as you, my radio is a 10.1" screen single din.
Have you got a link that you used to root the device?
Im new to android and its all a bit foreign to me.
Ive just started a thread as i couldn't find any info on my unit and then i found your thread.
Things id like to change about my device is
- get rid of mute in reverse
- get rid of the car picture in reverse
- be able to play an apps (foxtel go) that says it won't play on a rooted device (if possible)
- increase the amount the screen can dim or be able to turn the screen off

does rooting allow you to change any of the above?
thanks

how do you change your first link to english?

get rid of mute in reverse should be easy. Go to Settings and there is an option in there somewhere, I think it is Car Settings. There are options to Mute on reverse, or lower the volume, or just leave it regular. At least that is how my Joying works.

Not sure what you mean by get rid of car picture?

yeah that option is there but it doesn't change anything the mute still works.
unfortunately i can't post links until I'm above 10 posts, seems you can't upload pictures here without a link. But there is a diagram of a car when the reverse camera comes on, I've been able to get rid of the reversing guide lines but not the car picture.

If you're new to Android, I suggest you don't root it until you're familiar.

To answer your questions
1.) I've not tried, I like the music muted when I put it in reverse
2.) There is a setting in the Car Media Settings App. I'll find it and update this post
3.) I can't help you there, I don't have Foxtel Go.
4.) There is a Sleep functions in Settings->Display that will allow you to turn the screen off after X minutes of inactivity.

4) yeah I think the minimum is 3 minutes was hoping for something less.

To remove the car picture when you put it in reverse, launch the Car Media Settings app, press the 3rd button from the left on the bottom row of options. Enter 3368 as the password, set the setting "Car Radar" to off.

Thank you, joying actually responded with that today.
Also managed to get the volume working in reverse. There was two settings "reverse mute" or something like that had to be turned off and then there was a mute in reverse setting that had to be set high not low - reverse to what I thought.

Any updates on this unit, recieved my JY-UN138 yesterday

what is it ? MCTB or KYL ?

Looks like the interface for the 4PDA forum is the same but i'm not sure it's the same hardware

 

[poyz]

what is it ? MCTB or KYL ?

Neither

According to the system info menu it's JY_60_C6R_7706_5006_CAN(A)_Newlap

See picture https://db.tt/VMWBmyEN

 

[D3LTA]

yeah i know that.

Hope there will be some support for them in future

if anyone got a update please post it here

 

[nomailing]

Does that mean, it is currently not possible to update this unit to 5.1.1 with Malaysk ROM? Just thought about ordering this one, but if it is not possible to upgrade to 5.1.1 then probably I will wait...

Also on the Joying page this unit is listed as "PX3 1.8GHz Cortex A9", while most (all?) other units are listed as "RK3188 1.6GHz Cortex A9". Is there a performance difference between these SoCs? What is your boot time with this unit?

 

[D3LTA]

Actually the performance is excellent, but indeed it's not upgradable with Android 5.1 now because of total different hardware, unit will die if u try what I have been told.

 

[D3LTA]

Official restore

Hello,

had some issues with the unit and seller send me new firmware

Check this and this video for update instructions

 

[poyz]

Thanks for that. Do you mind taking a picture of the Android version screen of you unit now that you have a different firmware?

 

[EagleSoldier]

Hi,

did you update the unit?

How can I update it? Via recovery?

I have some problems to boot in recovery mode :/

Best regards
