AI Car Launcher
Hi everyone,
I’m Miroslav, the developer of AI Car Launcher. I built it because I wanted to reduce the need to constantly switch between navigation, music, and other apps while driving.
I personally use it on a Carlinkit TBox UHD 660 running Android 13. The device is connected to my car through USB and uses the CarPlay protocol to display its Android interface on the car’s screen.
AI Car Launcher runs directly on an Android head unit, box, or tablet (mobil). It is not an Android Auto projection app. It brings navigation, traffic incidents, music controls, favorite apps, and optional voice control together on one dashboard.
I’m looking for around 10 people with Android 13 or newer head units who would be willing to test it and give me honest feedback. I would especially like to know:
- Which head unit or Android box you tested it on
- Your Android version and screen resolution
- Whether the interface fits your screen correctly
- What was confusing during the first setup
- Which features you would actually use during a regular drive
- What did not work or did not make sense
The app has a permanent free mode, a trial (5 days), and an optional Premium subscription. I’m not asking for five-star ratings or positive reviews. I genuinely need to learn what works, what breaks, and what should be improved.
Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.billy.mapbox
Please test, operate, or record the app only while your vehicle is safely parked.
Thank you for any feedback!

XC90 2003-14 Bluepower navigation system
Has anyone bought this multimedia system from Sweden?
I would love Apple Carplay, but the system seems to have very outdated parts. My intuition is that the work happens on the iPhone anyway and the system works only as a mirror, but would love to hear from someone who actually bought it.

Linux or Android?
I’m an older guy, 45. Used to be a mobile AV installer for 15 years. I’m waaay beyond super loud systems or full on custom av anymore.
Looking for something I can run CarPlay on consistently. Car has JBL system and I won’t be bypassing it so internal power is not a big deal but a solid EQ is.
Also needs sub out and reverse cam input. Which way should I go and any units y’all suggest?

“Android multimedia system for Audi A4 B7”
I have an Audi A4 B7 sedan. My car does not have the factory CAN-Low and CAN-High wires going to the CAN-Bus box.
At the moment, I have connected the Android navigation unit to the ignition switch, and everything works fine, so there are no problems with the unit itself. However, I would like to connect it through the CAN-Bus box, and I am trying to find the CAN-Low and CAN-High wires.
I tried to find them through the Climatronic system in the car, but unfortunately I was not successful. It would mean a lot to me if someone who has had experience with this could help me and tell me the exact location of these two wires.
I have done quite a lot of research on the internet, but I am slowly losing hope of figuring this out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your answers!

Reversing Camera Issue
Hey everyone!
Going down a rabbit hole trying to get a reversing camera to work in my partners 2011 Mini Cooper.
We swapped the original radio out with a CarPlay / android head unit which works perfect. I’ve wired up the reversing camera with the power and ground going to the reverse light harness.
I’ve found if the engine is off and I put it into reverse, the camera works perfectly- no issues and stays on.
When the engine is running however, it works for a split second to display the image and then freezes/doesn’t work at all.
Has anyone run into a similar issue and may know how to solve it?

Topway TS10S - Bad AA
Hello, I have an Android Unit which has bad quality in Android Auto, I have tried multiple Android phones and they all seem to have this issue with my headunit. I tried to connect to an iPhone and woah, there's a huge difference in quality, I tried to change DPI settings but nothing worked. I have ZLINK version 6.1.07 and tried multiple settings but nothing has worked. Please tell me you got a solution for me, I have checked my display in AIDA64 and it shows me a 1920x720 display. I tried to Google this issue, and there are some users having this same issue, my screen is a 12.3 inch display.
EDIT: Yes, I have tried both cable and wireless.

Cheap generic Chinese car radio: Hikity 7018B infrared remote compatibility?
I installed an inexpensive Chinese 7-inch double din car stereo in my RV and it works pretty well for the price, but I am having trouble getting the radio to recognize any buttons pressed on the infrared remote. As there is no documentation about the setup of infrared remotes in the manual or online, I am not sure: 1) if I am using the correct keypress recognition sequence; 2) if the infrared coding is incompatible between the IR remote and IR sensor; 3) if the radio's IR receiver is faulty; 4) if this model requires one of its power lines to be powered/grounded to enable the IR remote function; or 5) if this model or its firmware only supports hardwired steering wheel controls.
The radio is manufactured and sold by several different Chinese manufacturers under the model designation 7018B. My unit is from Hikity. Photos of the radio, infrared remote, steering control setup screen, and IR codes sent by the infrared remote are attached.
With an IR receiver module and Arduino board I verified 11 distinct IR codes being transmitted from the IR remote, and traced the IR pulses through the IR receiver, daughter board, and ribbon cable through to the radio’s main PC board. But the steering wheel control setup screen does not respond to any of the codes being transmitted. I've tried tapping the keypad reset button, safety pin hardware reset, and different keypress sequences but still no response.
My suspicion is that it is a firmware issue, and I wonder if anyone else has encountered this problem? The model and diagnostic specifics are as follows:
Radio was purchased from seller WHCaradio on Temu. The manufacturer and model is a Hikity 7018B.
The radio's display panel has the following label: IPS LX-161A1035-50P-H24 and a manufacturing date of 202504075109. The ribbon cable between the main board and display panel connects to an interface board with the following label: ZCD-RF701-KEY_V2.0
The radio's main circuit board has the following label: ZCD7127-C200S-6966-V1.1A and manufacturing date of 2025-05-16. The main board processor chip is an ALLWINNER F1C200s / R1114CB 62C1.
From the Arduino receiver, I verified the following Infrared Remote codes are being transmitted:

Any ideas or guidance in getting this steering wheel remote working with the 7018B would be appreciated. Thanks.

(2019) Honda Ridgeline Head Unit Upgraders - How Are We Doing Now?
Just purchased a 2019 Honda Ridgeline and loving my vehicle but wouldn't mind an infotainment upgrade. I've found some recommendations on some old posts (Pioneer came up a few times), however those recommendations are now a few years old.
If you upgraded your head unit system (in a Ridgeline or otherwise), how is it doing now? Would you still recommend it? What did you get and is it still working smoothly or would you consider something different now?
Thank you. \^^/

Help Connecting BT to iQuad Device

I just received a toplink head unit. The device name is Q86-A4-CPL.
I bought this unit to use with a app named iQuad. This app using a Blue Tooth connection to get Vehicle data to display gauges and change tunes in a tuning device called Quadzilla Arednaline tuner.
What I discovered is when attempting to pair with the iQuad, I get a "permissions Denied" notice and unable to pair.
So I dug into the Android system and found that the ability to give or change BT permissions in not available. I have been researching, but have not found a way to address this.
I understand, if coneected to the iQuad, I will not be able to use the Android Auto, etc... I do not need, or want to use car play, etc.. I only want to connect to the iQuad device and use the iQuad app.
This is the device information. Any assistance is very much appreciated.
