Hi,
I have just bought and fitted a Eonon GA2114 Android unit
I have one or two issues please, and would really appreciate some help
1. When I hold the power button to shut the unit down, it says 'shutdown' for a second and the screen goes dark. When I power it on again it comes on immediately as if the stereo is switched on all along, just with the screen dimmed. (It does not boot up Android) - I should mention it is fitted into a campervan running off a leisure battery. Shouldn't make any difference I'd have thought but it is a permanent battery connection (No ignition on/off) is this a clue? I wondered if it was to do with the ACC wire if so?
2. When I do 'wake up' the Car Unit it seems to take quite a few seconds or so to 'prepare the SD card' - this can only refer to my permanently connected USB drive full of music (Via the rear of the unit) - surely this should be ready to use immediately the car stereo is on? It means I can't just switch on, and play music. Any ideas please as it is very annoying?
3. A brief one, what is the best locally stored Android music player to use please? for car use that is?
Many thanks for your hep
I must admit I am a little surprised to have no replies so far? Anyone pls?
Hi, is there anyone that can help me with this please. many thanks?
Any suggestions please? thanks

Does the unit come with root, if it doe you could download a reboot app, most require root to function.
I don't believe these units actually shutdown, just go into standby mode, you cab check with the ENON techs.
No root as far as I am aware, a good idea otherwise thank you. I am still unable to fully power off (Or reboot) the unit. It seems to draw a lot of power and will drain the Leisure Battery for sure. I have emailed Eonon a few days ago, but not heard anything back. Not sure if they are active in any of the forums for a quicker response?
As for the USB Memory Stick with music on, I am still having the problem of 'unexpectedly removed' and 'preparing SD card' each and every time the unit is first used / turned on. Any ideas please as it's driving me bananas! thank you
I have the same unit and yeah it says powering off and it isn't powering off at all, it is even still connected to my phone via bluetooth when it has supposedly powered off!

Thanks for your reply, that is interesting. I have had two replies from Eonon so far. As I thought the ACC cable may be the culprit.
1. Unit can not shutting down completely
Please check whether you have connect the ACC wire always on BATT? If yes, this unit cannot turn off completely.
Please find the ACC control wire on the Fuse box location, then connect the ACC wire to the ACC control wire, the unit can turn on and off via key.
2. If you use the USB Memory Stick to play music? If so does yours have the delay issue as well? )Answer from Eonon copied below so far:
Yes, it will show message when you plug in or plug out SD/USB, this can not change.
But if it shows some error message that make the SD/USB would not work, would you please take a picture to show us?

I have the ACC wire connected correctly as when I turn the ignition off the stereo acknowledges this and turns off/powers down but that function is hard wired supposed to turning the unit off at the on/off/volume knob (while the ignition is on). Their answer is just avoiding the issue as the unit turns off fine with the ignition, it doesn't power down like it says it is when the ignition is on. I just turned my 'off' with the ignition on and could still connect to it via bluetooth....
I can't comment on point 2 as i've yet to rig my amps up and play any music!

Mmmmmm, thats not quite so good then. I was thinking that it might be the ACC as mine is running from a permanently 'on' Leisure Battery. I will probably pop the stereo out and have a look in the next week or so as I can't really change the battery situation (The idea is so that I don't run the starter battery down as it is a CamperVan)
I must say though that I am impressed with the sound (I have been testing PowerAmp, and PlayerPro and they both look and sound STUNNING, the standard player kept skipping for me at least)
I'm still looking into the other thing (Memory Stick) it works, but it's annoying really
I just got my unit yesterday and installed, so far very good device.
I noticed there is a setting in setup to delay shutdown for 30 seconds, and up... Maybe you are not waiting long enough for complete shutdown.
If you had the ACC wired to Battery, the unit screen would not shut off (i think).
ACC being connected to a permanent live compounds the problem as whenever ACC is live i.e ignition turned on, you can't power the unit down at all even though holding down the power button it clearly states "shutting down" when in reality it merely turns the screen off.
Thank you tiff_lee, I think that is exactly what happens in my case (Just the screen goes off)
It is draining my 12v battery rather quickly! If I was to disconnect the ACC cable will I still be able to power it on and use normally? (In my case the car stereo works from a campervan leisure battery. The idea being that you can have the radio on at any time without the ignition having to be on. Also it doesn't drain your starter battery at all)
Many thanks
ACC is accessory power. Accessory power is only powered when a key is on. If you don't have it wired to a ACC source then it won't properly shut off. Wire the ACC with the power wires and put a toggle switch between the battery and the power wires. I would think that would solve the problem.

If I understand your first post correctly you have the ACC connected all the time so yes the unit would effectively be on all the time hence the power drain. Leave the main power connected at all times as this also powers your memory, connect the ACC wire to a 12V+ supply via a toggle/selector switch and just turn it on (via toggle switch) when you want the unit on.
That aside though it doesn't change the fact that the unit does not power off when it says it is.
Hi
Been following this thread and having same issues I only have mine connected by the iso adapters and the unit doesn't seem to shut down fully,have had 1 flat battery so far after not using the van for several days on recharging battery and turning on it showed full start up screens.
Other issues are not being able to turn off the radio once turned on apart from in settings "force stop app"
No voice guidance in the Sygic GPS app.
Someone asked for a good music app,try N7 player,also Smart launcher is very good ,have it on all our Android stuff.

I have bought a Pumpkin KD-C0224 Android car unit and it's working great.
1. Have met the battery drained issue before and the Pumpkin seller suggested me exchange the "ACC" and the "B+" of the iso adapter.
They explained that the “ACC” and the “B+” of my car is opposite to the iso adapter, so I tried and it worked.
2. Maybe your USB Memory Stick is beyond the unit can support, or you can try other USB device with less than 32GB to check.
3. I have Spotify on my unit and its great, I think.
Hello,
someone did you solve this problem? I use the same multimedia Eonon GA2114 and have the same problem .In the moment extinguish my car out inscription 'unexpectedly removed SD card' Just to give contact and back contact without starting the engine again my written 'unexpectedly removed SD card'.
After starting my written 'preparing SD card' and starts from the first song. I'm tired just listening to the same song Please if anyone can help.
I have a very similar problem which has only started to happen recently on my Eonon head unit.
The problem is when you turn the unit off it shows a message saying "storage unexpectedly removed". When you turn on the head unit again it has to remount the USB drive and it starts playing music again from the beginning of the MP3. It never remembers the last play position of the MP3. This happens on various makes of freshly formatted USB sticks. Its very annoying....
I have done a full factory reset, disconnected the power and also re-connected all the cables from the back of the unit - but this did not resolve the problem.
Not really sure what to try next...any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

I have some questions. (Copy from the old thread)
1. I mean that i read it here, but I'm not sure. At the moment I have very often the bug, that the volume button not works. Mute works, but louder and quieter not. I don't know when it doesn't work, but after a while no function.
2. Since a few days I have the wifi problem, that wifi works sometimes and after a while too, it shows empty bars and shows the connection but it doesn't work. In other case if I start the radio he can't find any WiFi. Why?
3. Since a few days the touchscreen doesn't work. I have set, that i can See if i touch. Then it shows a point. so i can see that the touch works, but there is no reaction. After a minuten the radio shows the bootlogo and have a loop. So i have start the radio new with reset or power off from the car.
4. Since a few days if i turn off the key normally all lights form the radio and display shut down. Additionally board computer shut down too after a few seconds. Now the light from the dvd tray is on and board computer too (after a lock from the car too). I dont know why but I don't know if that is so good (Battery).
All this errors are since a few days. I tried to do any settings but the problem is always here. Does anyone no about that? I think it's an app, but I don't know which one. The last chance (if I get no solutions) is to install another rom? That is really crazy, because it's only since a few days. The days before it works perfect.
I have JY 2.73 with the Malaysk Rom from September (1024).
Thanks
Update: Now i installed 2.59 JY and tried again. WiFi will always gone with no bars. So i turn off and turn on again. At the most cases it works. But the problem is here again. The same with the touchscreen crash. 3G doesn't work. always no bars.
So the previous MCU doesn't work again. Maybe a software error.
Could you please try to measure the voltage alignedto the HU while you encounter those problems? I rellay mean at the radio side (so not at the battery poles).
Such issues could be lack of voltage. If not and flashing does not solve it could be a defective unit.
Just to ensure: You flashed Firmware AND MCU? AM I right wit this assumption?
If not: Try to flash a new ROM first (probably try Malaysk ROM)
Btw: Moved to Q&A

Thx for answer. How can i measure that? Do you know which cable it is? And if the cable shows not the 12V? What can i do to fix the problem?
Sure. I have Malaysk Rom and the MCU JY 2.59.
you would have to get amulti- or vooltmeter and attach that between plus and ground pins at your HU.
If you don't know how you should eigther try to follow another way first if possible or ask someone to do it for you (it's electrics)

Thanks. I ordered a multilmeter. Maybe it's the battery. At the moment the car works really hard if I start it. The radio takes so much battery but the radio is off. So that can be the problem.
low voltage can cause many weird problems but you have to know a new battery might not solve your problem!
If you have low voltag while the engine is ruunning then you have a different problem. eighter there is a connection issue somewhere on the path the energy takes from battery and generator to the HU or your generator might have a problem. But that is open to check when we know if it really is a voltage issue.
Hi,
i'd like to give you an update for my problems. Since the last days I have the problems, that my car didn't start. Now we see, that the battery is nine years old. Now I charged the battery (tomorrow I'll get a new battery) and the first test shows WiFi works for 3 minutes. I know - that's not a lot, but I only can try if I have the new battery. 3G doesn't work - always the same. But that's not so important for now.
At the moment I don't have the volume error. I will test it, If i have a longer car drive.
The problem with the touchscreen is actually. Since a few time, after few minutes the touchscreen is bricked and I see the points that i touch it, but I can't click anything. If I touch ten times, twenty times or often then radio shut down and shows the boot logo... forever... it doesn't boot again. So I have to make a hard reset.
And the last point with the light board computer and the light dvd slot after plug off the key is actually too. It don't shutdown the lights on the standby time from 10 minutes (set it to 10 minutes). I know now, that I can shutdown it completely if I press the volume button for 3 seconds. Than it's turn off. So it's a setting problem from the firmware?
Today I plug in the key - nothing. Radio doesn't start. So I looked behind the radio and saw, that one thin cable is not in the wiring harness and I can see the wires on the cable. So I tried to put it in the wiring harness again. I hope it works longer now. I wrote carjoying and ask for a new wiring harness. Maybe all problems will be fixed, If i have a new.
Hello again,
now I've got a solution for the wifi problem. I've tried to connected wifi - i Known that doesn't work only few seconds and after a few seconds it shows 0 bars on wifi... now I disconnected my 3g stick and LOOK it works... full bars, no losing connection. I connect 3g again and the same problem after a few seconds.
So th3 3g stick (E1750 from Huawei) makes some problem OR the usb cable?
Huawei E355 also not working. Same connection problems with malaysk rom MTCD
Any suggestions?
Hello Guys,
I really need some insight on this problem:
I have a KLD (http://www.eonon.com/Car-GPS/Specific-Car-GPS/Mazda/GA5151.html) unit for some time now, but since September it wasn't in my car because I was preparing an audio upgrade. As one of the last steps I've checked out the HU and I wanted to upgrade to the latest MCU&FW, but the unit wouldn't turn on. Since it's on my "workbench" I've checked the cables, fuse, the external PSU, everything i could, but it did not help. The unit worked flawlessly in the car and on the workbench 2 months ago. Nothing changed. Now it won't turn on, not even the fan at the back of the unit. The screen and the button backlights are also off.
The one confusing part is, when I push the power button with reset for a few seconds, the unit comes to life, and goes into recovery! I can flash a ROM, clear the cache, etc., but when I reboot the unit from the menu, it turns off, then the button backlights flash once, but nothing else happens. The unit stays turned off.
So far I've checked:
- Fuse
- External PSU
- Power button
- Replaced the SOM (The unit is RK3066 originally, I'm using it with RK3188)
- Tried different ROMs
- Disconnected the DVD drive
Nothing helped. I can get into recovery, but I can't boot the unit, no matter what SOM (or what ROM) I use. I would really appreciate some help, because I ran out of ideas.
Thanks in advence!

Ok, the big conclusion is to use the multimeter first. Magically, ACC was not even close to 12v. Switched to another PSU, everything works.
Hi guys,
I am using a Joying unit with @Malaysk ROM and
the unit starts on boot the last used app.
Is there a way to prevent this autostart?
Thanks

The best way I know of is to quit your current app before you shutdown. It's a pain and a hassle, I know, but that tends to do the trick sometimes.
Thanks
Yes I know, this works sometimes.
But it is not a real solution
In the head units seems to be something different than in our phones.
Actually the head units never shuts down completely as a smartphone, because there is always some power supplied to it from the car battery, and therefore some dedicated memory can maintain the last active selections (radio station, apps, music, etc.).
To reset that memory, the power should be completely removed from the unit when turning ignition off.
If you wish to permanently disable the auto resuming, this can be accomplished disconnecting the relative wire in the harness.

Hello all!
I recently bought a android head unit that runs android 5.1.1. (MCU: MTCD_MX_V1.73_1, Kernel 3.0.101+) I have several little problems, one of them is that the radio app that is provided doesn't store any channel that I save after a turn off turn on. Is it something that can be solved or the best is to use another radio app? Maybe you have good examples?
More generally it seems that every-time I turn OFF, it loses the time (it goes back to some random date in 2012 at 00h00).
The GPS also seems to loose the ephemeris and needs to download them every-time, I get a fix after 10 to 15 minutes after turn on is it something normal?
Any help would be much appreciated!
thank you!
What kind of vehicle did you install it in..?
You probably need a canbus harness for your car or run a accessory power from your cigarette lighter + wire..

Hi,
I installed this HU in my car a month ago and I still have not gotten it to work properly. My main problem is that the unit reboots randomly and does not turn on again.
I have tested the reset button and checked all the wiring. I have connected the 12V direct battery and the adapter for the steering wheel gives me the 12V ACC.
It seems that the radio goes into some form of protection until it suddenly decides to restart.
I really do not know what else to check. If I modify some parameter in the factory settings, it asks to restart, it only shuts down but does not turn on.
Yesterday afternoon it worked correctly but this morning it has not started.
any ideas?
These are my specs:
Car: Alfa Romeo 159 (2012 year)
HU: Xtrons TE706PL
MCU: MTCE_GS_V2.88_3
steering controls: Connects2 CTSAR002.2 + CTMULTILEAD.2 Patch Lead
I'm experiencing the same issues with my PX5 / CSN2 headunit from Klyde. Sometimes the HU won't come out of standby, the screen remaining black and buttons not reacting at all (but with LED backlight). If I had FM radio before turning off, it will start playing audio only in the background. Turning off the car engine triggers a restart, as if it entered some unrecoverable state.

First...update the rom and mcu to the latest available
Try
Second...disconnect the connects2 and use the unit without that canbus to ensure there is incompatibility issues. Try

Well, in my case the unit doens't start, nothing, no led, no sound... I think the problem is that the unit is not able to make a cold start after going into deep sleep

I can't update the frimware if the device doesn't start...
I'll try, but it is not easy because my car doesn't have 12V ACC so I need the connects interface to get the power.

To test, I would do this.. Connect the acc direct to battery.... The deck should turn on.. Reboot the deck while it's on. If it boots back up... Then the above poster is probably correct. Your module is not working correctly and not giving a proper acc signal.
The unit was connected with ACC wire connected to the Connects2 adapter. But yesterday I connected the unit directly to the car only the wires; ground, 12V battery and 12V ACC. The device started and worked fine. Turn off the car and five hours later the device didn't started. Today 20 hours later the device doesn't start either I tried to disconnected everything and connect again but the problem continue.
I think the problem is, the device is not able to do a cold boot after to turn off the radio. How to do a factory default reset? maybe this fix the problem.
I connected the device to direct battery and the first time worked but now it isn't able to start....
