Ts18 (sinosmart head unit) firmware and Android Auto help.

[Anton TNT]

Hi to all.
I recently bought this device Ts18 / Qualcomm AK607 MCU / Android 10.
I'm satisfied with it, how ever... All works but unit wheel controls are not working not even with correct canbus update (updates thru network for specific car model). And still with correct settings unit sometimes does not even turn on at engine start, due to fail of canbus device.
Has any one had this experience ?

I had before this unit ALPS FF5000 MTK 8227L based device, but this one is new one and still learning about it, I installed it yesterday...

I have just purchased for my Mazda 3 2014 base model a Sino Smart t18 Android head unit. It took a lot of wire runs to get all my buttons on my steering wheel to work and my aux cable to work but I have everything working now. However I cannot get Android Auto to work. I'm connected via cable I go to T-Link it goes through the whole connection process then the app closes and I disconnect. Also in calls there is a literal half second to two second delay between me saying something and the other person hearing something. I believe that to be because the dialer and phone app is an ancient one. Before I upgrade via the Sino Smart firmware assuming that they even have a newer version for it I'd like to know a few things. Are there any fixes for the issues I have? Is there generic firmware I could use and would that be better? I've backed up the APKs and the settings on a flash drive and I'm going to get a firmware from Sino Smart probably today. So I'm not too concerned about reflashing it if such a firmware exists. Here is the relevant links and pictures https://m.aliexpress.com/item/3256801101474736.html?browser_id=72dbac67959e473f86942b305e5c0eff&aff_trace_key=6c41050821be49718de2504f98805203-1662686844295-00677-UneMJZVf&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=0011831fdd3c4c1d26c057b1ad56416c1c5e891039&gclid=&pdp_npi=2@dis!USD!407.6!260.86!!!!!@2101e9d416626869355821462e4224!12000028949398123!sea&curPageLogUid=POsYIGiN6GMX&algo_pvid=9f563e5a-cc76-4caf-a8d7-20b80d9e9ed2


Here is a google drive with the dump from the unit

The firmware that they gave me was for a TS-10 and I'm not sure that's going to be compatible with what I have. Does anybody know?

All right I got some codes for this unit. Thanks to Vista2611
Factory - 123456
developer mode - 7890(**). (**) is your current time in military time. example ..if u try it at 3.00pm just key in 789015. Or if it's 3am it's 789003

Hello! Do you happen to have any more codes? There are some functions where those codes don't work (like factory reset and other system configurations).

Look at the ts-10 mega thread. There are a lot of codes out there and the ts-10 and ts-18s seems to be the same codes https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/new-ts10-uis7862-6gb-ram-128gb-head-unit-q-as.4227947/

I installed this link from the manufacturer but I would not recommend. It is set to the wrong display resolution (1280 by 480) and I cant change it because it I cant press half the settings screen as it is out of view. Goin to try the other software next. Also this one from the manufacture seems to state it is android 12 and I am 90% sure it is not. very sketchy.

Edit: Do not do any of these installations without a backup. Otherwise you may mess up your machine. You need to back up your APKs and all your settings they're going to be in the factory settings I believe I'm going to make an instructional once I confirmed this worked

What is the manufacturer? I need ts18 firmware
