If you run into issue with Steering Wheel Control volume button not functioning correctly with OEM radio when install Android Head Unit, you must see this video th-cam.com/video/P-g_8cydoIU/w-d-xo.html how to fix it.
Wow! I have been messing with this exact head Unit for 2 weeks, trying to get that crap to work. Your video help me out. I finally got it working. Thank you sir!
Thank You! Informative video. I had the similar problem, steering wheel buttons were not working. Then I just changed the protocol and now buttons are working. So yes, I can confirm that selected protocol affects functionality. I selected different protocols until I found the working one. Do it at your own risk!
Thank you so much! I spent days trying to figure this one out and you helped me get my steering wheel controls back in less than 10 minutes! now I can use my controls. Ohh the little things we take for granted. Also a very much necessity since my unit has no buttons or knobs! I did not need to connect Key 1 or Key 2 or use a steering wheel control module because my unit came with it installed. Also, my settings didnt say protocol, it said CAN Set. Hope my info also helps others.
Hey, great video I having a little problem everything works except how to learn the volume up and down on the unit do you have to wrong different wires or just plug-in play the same way I did everything works except how to learn the buttons and by the way thank you again for the video…
Check this out first if you have problems ưith your Android Unit th-cam.com/video/P-g_8cydoIU/w-d-xo.html then come back to this video. Just make sure it works properly with OEM head unit first
Great video lots of useful information, just have one question i have the same head unit just installed it, the Google assistant doesn't work i dont have an external microphone wondering if this is the issue.any idea What it might be thanks
Awesome video! My main issue right now is I dont know the password. Should I try 8888? Tried 0000 and 1234 already. I have the setup for the 06-11 civic si. I tried doing the steering button learning as is and it isnt registering my inputs.
Here are some passwords I found - General password - 8888 or *123456* Dev options - 7890 or 7890+hour (eg 789010 for 10am system time) Usb debugging - john@tw-desktop File - install apk - 789012
I followed the steps in this video to attempt to connect voice connect and it doesn't work. I used to be able to press a control button on my steering wheel to initiate a phone call, but can't with this system. It's really frustrating. I have Podofo Voice and am having issues getting that to function properly. My unit is Podofo 9212B. The manual that came with it is very unhelpful so any help you can provide is appreciated! Also, I use iPhone and prefer to use a different map app for navigation. Can apps that didn't come with the unit be downloaded?
Hi there, I have the same unit is there a way to make the same key do 2 function my old andriod radio had that basically if I short press I increase volume and if I long press I change songs. I can't find that option on this radio for my life
@@lavithhcm but i cant learn the android steering wheel control to the car physical control, everytime i pressed the button it says "learning failed, please try again" or something similar like that
@@mynameiswoody4529 check your wire connection, try interchange the wires. Mine had same issue i interchanged the wires and it workes. Like key1 to red wire key2 to green, just do the opposite, key1 to green key2 to the red.
My AHU unit doesn't do that. But I know my coworker has a unit which integrates into his HVAC and Audio system. It really depends for what car and what AHU. Also, this requires you to remove the OEM system out of the car.
It works but my steering controls also control the original radio. Whenever i press VOL + it turns up the volume on the new head unit as well as switches the old radio to another mode. Likewise when i press CH+
Does it work normally with OEM head unit? Just make sure all the buttons works fine with OEM unit first. For reference, th-cam.com/video/P-g_8cydoIU/w-d-xo.html
@@jasondrinkell8913 I mean when you put your new unit in sometimes the settings inside your new Android head unit will screw up the OEM like in the video. When that happen your steering wheel buttons won't work probably. Hope it helps!
I was thinking about those wires I think on my unit I didn’t connect them my radio works. Everything works GPS your name but they were key 1 and 2 to wire. I don’t remember connecting to nowhere. …
I am trying to program my android to the steering wheel controls. But I am having problem with the volume +/- the unit is seeing them as the same. + has a resistances value of 3000hms and - is 150 ohms. I have a spare switch and the resistances are the same so the switch is fine. Has anyone had the same problem and did you solve the problem.

You are a Saint. I didn't realize I just had to scroll under the settings side bar, I feel like an idiot 🤣
thank you so much i have been trying to wrap my head around it

Try all the known password from google search. They didnt provide the password when I purchared the unit. Ask the seller if you can.
@@lavithhcm it was 8888 as well
Here are some passwords I found -

Yeah, i undetstand what you are trying to do but unfortunately the firmware does not support long press ot short press of the streering wheel button
@@lavithhcm damn. Anyways thank so much for the info
Do I need Canbus decoder to use steering learn control? I have a Ford Focus 2007 and my Android is TS7
I dont think so. Learning is function of Android head unit firmware.
@@lavithhcm but i cant learn the android steering wheel control to the car physical control, everytime i pressed the button it says "learning failed, please try again" or something similar like that
@@mynameiswoody4529 check your wire connection, try interchange the wires. Mine had same issue i interchanged the wires and it workes. Like key1 to red wire key2 to green, just do the opposite, key1 to green key2 to the red.
Can you display HVAC controls on the head unit?
My AHU unit doesn't do that. But I know my coworker has a unit which integrates into his HVAC and Audio system. It really depends for what car and what AHU. Also, this requires you to remove the OEM system out of the car.

Hope it fixed for you now?
@@lavithhcm it did thank you!
Mine still keeps saying setup failed no matter how quick I do it. Any help please?

@lavithhcm yes mate all worked fine before I put the new unit in

I have a accord 3.5 and using same unit but my steering wheel control are not working properlly, My volume will change radio mode... Any suggestions?
i think i had this issue before but it can easily be fixed by changing the pulldown resistor setting.
i thought i made a video about this but forgot to upload on TH-cam
@@lavithhcm can you upload the video? I have the same problem.
@@corruptcmd yeah sure. I will upload the video as soon as I can.
@@corruptcmd yes uploading the instruction video now.
My SWC mode button connected “success” but the volume and up and down select will not connect “failed.” Any ideas?
try this th-cam.com/video/P-g_8cydoIU/w-d-xo.html
Can you also set a double press or long press?
I have not noticed the double or long press on my android head unit. I will check it out later!
Does this unit incorporate any other vehicle-specific functions like climate controls (fan speed, temperature setting, etc) or door open/close etc?
no climate control. when i bought they didnt claim to work with climate control. but they did claim to work with steering wheel buttons
@@lavithhcm Was this a car-specific model or a universal one? Did it come with a CANBUS decoder box?
How did you wire in the key 1 or key 2 wires? I'd love to see where you connected them to
what do you mean key 1/key 2? what key are you referring to?
On the wiring saids sometimes key 1 and Key 2
I was thinking about those wires I think on my unit I didn’t connect them my radio works. Everything works GPS your name but they were key 1 and 2 to wire. I don’t remember connecting to nowhere. …
So I cannot learn the steering wheel buttons
