General [Review] Joying PX5 2GB+32GB on Android version 8.0.0 (FYT unit)

[surfer63]

I don't have DSP ( I have the internal AMP). For me I use Wifi for internet, and I use the Bluetooth calling so the two weakness of the PX5, so it's preferable to keep my HU with the Sofia fyt, until it dies!
I just thought that the PX5 was better that Sofia 3gr, but it seems there's just better performance and split screen in native mode, and maybe some other features...

I would indeed wait until your Sofia 3GR dies. What I hear from the new Intel airmonts is that calling quality is much better and they do have a DSP. And I did not hear any issue with Wifi at this moment so I assume that is also better.

Hello

for information, Joying exchange my Sofia PX5 model to their new model https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-l...avigation-system-with-built-in-4g-module.html

I received yesterday and made a call this morning. Issue is solved Voice is clear with external mic.

It's probably almost time to spawn a thread for the new model, but when you say voice is clear, is that while driving?

Yes, while driving it's terrible. When the car isn't moving it's fine, but that defeats the purpose of the Bluetooth car phone functionality

Hi ! Has someone had this problem :
The UI worked fine for 3 months. Suddenly the fastboot stopped working. No reason. The Joying very nice people sent me another UI, the a new harness. I changed the car battery. No way.
Any idea ? And help ?

Hi,

I have a VO131P2 and the bluetooth call quality was terrible. I wired in a Parrot microphone that I had and it seems to have improved to a point where it is now just about usable. I think the bluetooth is a weak point on these units.
On my unit, when you plug in the external mic, both mics are active. This morning I disconnected the internal mic (This involved desoldering the connections internally as there is no setting for this) to see if this helped. I will be doing a proper test in the next while and will let you know how I get on. A simple way to check is to call your voicemail and tap both mics to see if they are both active.

Can I ask if your EQ works correctly? All the 'sliders' on mine only adjust the lower/bass frequencies. This started happening after a recent update.

A.

Hey Ant, do you solve the EQ problem? I have same issue and cant find out a solution.
Best

EDIT: XTRONS send me a new 180000000_com.syu.eq.apk and it solve the problem. But now the app is out of spec ratio in screen... the balance controls are out if the screen (1280x480)... If some one knows how to correct that, I really apreciate it.

Testing of Android Auto on the unit.

Having a complete Android head unit makes it questionable why you would use Android auto. Anyway, I tested it this afternoon.

HowTo:

• Install Android Auto on your phone. As Android auto is not yet officially supported in (most countries of) Europe, you won't find it in the Play Store (I live in the Netherlands) so I downloaded it from apkmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/.
• Pair your phone via Bluetooth to your head unit (if you hadn't done that already)
• Connect your phone via a USB cable to your unit.
• Start the zlink app on your unit

Edit 25 May 2018: For older models Joying sold a Z-box usb adapter, to be able to use Android Auto from your phone onto the Joying head units. On these PX5 models they deliver an apk, the zlink.apk, that does the same. This means you no longer need an external adapter.

Android auto, from my phone displayed on my unit, works fine. Android auto is straight-forward and well-thought out with simplicity and safety in mind.
But again: If you have a full functioning Android head unit, why would you need Android auto?
The only big bonus at this moment is that my phone fully supports OK Google which then also works over Android auto. It is so nice to simply say "OK Google", and then "do this, do that" without having to take your hands of the wheel (also because I don't have steering wheel buttons).
My PX5 head unit itself does not support OK Google at all at this moment with this android version/firmware. Also the Google Search voice input (tapping the microphone in the search bar) doesn't work at all. This is currently a big drawback.

In any case: If you want to use Android auto on your Joying, you are fine to go. I use pulsar music player, which supports Android auto, and the the only thing is that my music artwork is displayed at too big size. Probably because my phone's resolution is 1920x1080 and the head unit 1024x600.

(w.r.t. OK Google on the head unit itself: I reported this issue to Joying. I already pushed the latest Google Search (Velvet if you like) to my unit and updated the framework, but no go. It says that it can't connect to the internet. Even with my phone hotspot in the car over 4G+, giving a superstrong signal and giving (relatively) massive upload/download speeds for everything, it complains "I can't connect to the network")

Hi Surfer, Its there a way to you can share your version of Zlink.apk ? Im looking to test if zlink works in my HU. Is an Xtrons px5 Android 8 FYI, and firmware is similar to JY one. I suspect that zlink/carplay would work in my unit. I was trying with a zlink.apk from other thread, but it didnt work. It open, but shows an error that claims "no XXX present" or something like that..
Any help is apreciated.

Thanks so much! hope it works.
Previous version I found and install was 6.5Mb. Yours is 3.5Mb, there some difference at first look.
Do you know what is this? 180000000_com.syu.amp.apk When I install it, there are an app running without icon or UI called digital amplifier, but I dont notice do nothing...
Cheers.

Some of the later PX5s have a digital amplifier. That's apparently what this apk is for, but I'm not sure as my PX5 does not have a digital amp.

What's the way to know if our PX5 has digital or not ?

Thanks!

Hi Surfer, I install your version of Zlink apk, but it still doesnt work Do you hear about a similar history before?
Pop up message says: No MFi
I found that in the archive init.syu.rc there are an entry that talk about zlink and carplay. most of it with disable present. Can it be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

No idea. I only tested zlink to see whether it worked. It did on my unit.
Is your phone on Android 9? That could be the issue.

No that is not the problem. MFi is a hardware chip that apple use to authenticate devices which they have authorized. No MFI, no party.

HWGet_info.apk: Is my XYZ unit compatible with a Joying?

Cross posting over several threads (sorry).

We regularly see questions like:

• Is my unnamed/some brand unit compatible with the Joyings?
• Can I use the Joying firmware to flash my unit?
• I have some brand/unnamed Intel Sofia 3GR / Rockchip PX5 / Intel 9853i unit. Can I .....?
• etc.

Sometimes with pictures of system info or details about MCU/hardware/etc/ which might not be so informative as they think.

For that reason I made a quick & dirty apk HWGet_info.apk that does exactly this: Check whether it is a FYT unit or not.
You can also see it in my signature under my posts: " Is my "some brand"/unnamed unit compatible with Joying (rooting)/JET-apk? Use the HWGet_info.apk."

So to all regular readers and experienced users: If you see this question, simply give them the link and ask them to post the resulting zip (and a slightly experienced user can see for him/herself).

Hello people,

I am from Brazil and I have a device in my car, which is originally branded Aikon.

It is a PX5, FYT6026 unit.

In attempts to get the steering wheel controls to perform multimedia (next, previous) functions in third party applications (Spotify, Youtube, Deezer, etc.), the system crashed at the boot screen.

I recovered using a Joiyng ROM (FYT 8.0 升 8.0 1024X600 2018.10.8) and almost everything works just like the original ROM. I only had to adjust the manufacturer to remove the on-screen MCU warning, but that was it.

I already rooted, and tried to use JET to enable the hardware and steering wheel controls to execute the media commands, but no success.


When JET replaced the original 000000000_com.syu.ms.apk with the modified one, all controls stopped working, even in the original applications.


I would like to know, how do I change my own 000000000_com.syu.ms.apk to make the steering wheel commands (next and previous) also work in third party applications?

If your base is already the Joying FYT ROM, you can also use the JET apk to install the original main server "Reinstall real org Joying com_syu_ms apk". That will give you the firmware version back.

Check again and then you need to explain which car you have, do you use a can bus, which protocol did you select.
Maybe you also need to use the accompanying Joying MCU binary.

Thanks for your help.

After I replaced Main Server with JET, I tried to recover with the option on JET, but I didn't succeed either. The physical buttons on the device and the steering wheel buttons still did not work.

They only came back to work when I replaced Main Server with the original Main Server that I had manually backed up before trying the procedure.

They are operating normally as designed. However, I would like them to work in third party applications as well.

CAN Bus is not configured. The Head Unit receives steering wheel controls through the wires that were originally plugged into the car's original player. It's a Kia Cerato (Forte) 2014.

Thanks for the tip! I even got to see the topic before, but I thought this feature would work only with Spotify. Anyway, I'll try too.

This is an issue of more units.
Please try this test app from @IG_Vasilich which he attached to this post.
You can use it to check if your unit does register the correct actions.
