YOOOO you are a freaking genius!!! I bought a 2010 Dodge Ram with an android headunit installed. The lights would not turn on for the buttons on the radio and i looked up how to turn them on and it worked but then they would not turn off when i turned off the car. This step by step video solved all my problems. Thank you brother!
@@nopenottoday4105 I also have an amp and it doesn't cause any issues. When I turn the engine off the amp is not working. The amp only turns on when they key ignition switch is on Accessory and forward of course. I wonder what could be keeping your Unit powered on all the time. My only advice would be to look into the canbus installation see how those wires are connected. I recently sent a photo link to someone looking for the correct installation of these units. I will write back with the link and make give it a look. Or ask the people who wired your amp to see if they can make sense of it.
You saved me a lot of nerves my friend Had this problem for about a year now with my android Radio Norhing helped, then I randomly found your Video and my problem is solved now! Thank you very much my brother you cant imagine how much you helped me with this Video !!
Hi there. I found your video today because a few months ago I bought a Chinese Head Unit, and since I fitted it, if I didn't drive the car for a week my car battery would go flat. Only today I learned that these units draw more electricity than older radios, when left in stand by. Tomorrow, I'll be fitting a new alternator, which I think I damaged by using jump leads so many times, because of the battery being flat. Once I've done that, I'll follow your instructions here and let you know how I got on. Thanks for the vid!
To really stop the battery draining change the power circuit to the cigarette lighter circuit that’s completely off with the car key when you stop the car.
This seems like a neat idea but many cannot handle electronics of the car. Mine was wired by a professional 😅, they should have known this thing probably, but yet again a professional doesn't always mean good at their job🤷🏻♂️
@@albinskenderovski It's really easy, I did it myself and I'm 81. In your fuse box detect witch is the one that protects the cigarette lighter and take it out, with a piggy back fuse holder take that place and connect a wire under the car dash, cut the original PWR cable from the harness and connect the new PWR cable that comes from the fuse box. Done, when you switch of the key there is NO PWR to the unit. Good Luck
Thank you for this! My Toyota Sienna died today and looking online I came across your video. My Android 12 head unit's interface is different than yours, but I was able to turn Sleep Mode OFF from "Settings" -> "Factory" -> "Sleep Mode when ACC is Off". The default setting was ON, meaning the radio was sleeping and drawing power. I turned it to OFF and that ensured a cold boot each time. The boot process is longer now, but not that bad... Maybe 20-30 seconds or so. The head unit has an 8-core CPU, perhaps that helps with the boot speed...
Thanks a ton mate..worked!! I was really worried about battery drainage issue..I got my self a Chinese android display(that's what we get easily here in South aisa) Hope now my car battery remains intact👍
thanks, mine was in user mode. i never saw mazda or android logo in normal use. BUT now it is slower to start, and i have to select things before use it, not a great thing. i try direct sleep mode instead, which seems to be like user mode.
we'll see if it fixes it. i only started looking for a video like this after my battery was dead have to find a jump and wait a month or so. i bought a volt meter to test it out. what's a normal curent value for parasitic draw?
I have absolutely no idea, for some batteries even leaving it like this it doesn't drain it completely. This might be the case for 100% healthy batteries. I stood no chance lol, it would drain it in about 3 4 hours.
My hu is very similar and I was able to find and adjust this setting. When clicking back to the first settings screen, I was prompted for the 8888 code again (wouldnt let me "back" to the home screen). I tried clicking "Reboot" this let me restart it. Also the App button took me home. But it is still not shutting down completely. I plugged everything in as instructed on the back of the hu. No idea why it wont shut off completely but I'll go back in a couple of hours and check if it turned off completely. If you have any ideas why I'd be interested. Is it a wiring issue? Will ask Podofo support too.
@@albinskenderovski I have since located the solution - there is a tiny red wire (paired wire i believe) with a tiny plug-in on the harness that, if this tiny plastic connection is disconnected, makes the unit shut off when they key is removed from the ignition. Thank you.
Sadly that doesn't go away I think, you must tinker into the special factory settings and see if you can find it, some are in chinese that's why it's difficult.
I'm going to test this setting. There's also a cable "Low Use", in the cable tree from the Radio. Disconnecting it can save Battery too. I'll let you know if this one works too. Thanks for tutorial
Yes I tried with the cable "Low Use", actually took it to a car electrician and he said he fixed it and that he knew what the problem was. However, I knew that after at least two hours the radio should shut down on its own, so I tested it after about 4 and half hours later, the radio was still on. The next morning the car battery had died and I had to use jumper cables, with this Setting though everything is working fine, granted it takes about 10 seconds for it to boot everytime but it is worth it knowing the battery is not being used during the time the car is off.
The battery drain issue is history but I still have the problem that my connected phone (Bluetooth) stops the Radio's MP3 player from playing when notification come in to the phone. It's a Radio issue I guess
HELP please. I have the same radio, I did the same steps, I have the same passwords, but the radio does not turn off after removing the key from the ignition switch. What additional steps could I do?
You have to wait about a minute before it turns off, if that is still not happening even after two minutes then maybe your issue is with the wiring. Just wait two minutes before testing if it works and make sure the settings have been saved.
@@albinskenderovski I found a solution to the problem!!! The connector must be disconnected of the two orange and red cables from the main bone. Thanks to this, after removing the key from the ignition, the radio will turn off.
@@simonwishbit awesome, sometimes its the wiring that is the issue and with the software trick it must work properly, I am glad its fine for you now ✌🏻
I have it set to sleep for one day (24 hours) because I like the fast asf boot while in the city, after that it shuts down completely so the battery wont die on roadtrips, cruises etc. (in theory, no idea of that setting even works 😂)
@apex1viper do you need the bus decoder box plugged in for this to work? I've removed mine because it was messing up with the rear camera etc...! Thx for the video, much appreciated
I would like to ask since we are same android stereo head unit (maybe) do you experienced when you are begin to start the engine and automatic reverse then back camera sees at the back but immediately shutdown
Not for me because I dont have the camera, you should try Parameter settings and see if you can find it, it is a bad translation over there just try the camera settings and reverse them back if it doesnt fix your issue
@@albinskenderovski but when i remove key from ignition it, the android device becomes off so how it would work or drain battery ? I checked after withdrawing key from ignition , the android system doesn't open.
@@albinskenderovski the left menu lights becomes on when I on the parking lights. It is set with parking lights. One thing i noticed when I remove key from ignition n device is also off then I observe that the left menu lights of android device still able to on with parking lights. But after many minutes or hours when I came again to drive car n I didn't insert key in ignition & check whether the left menu lights of android system would on with parking lights then it doesn't open. But when I insert key in ignition then it works with parking lights again
I have well connected the B+ and ACC cables but my headunit doesn´t save volume configuration or radio stations. Any solution? Apparently has the same software as you.
Oh yes, you just long press and delete, but you wont be able to put different widgets, only icons can go there. The launcher is locked for some reasons and you cannot put anything you would like. You have to use a different launcher in order to use widgets but they make the unit much slower.
Hi man, thanks for this. I have just bought a PODOFO for my 2009 Skoda, everything works the same as on your video, I accessed the interface with the codes and everything, and put shut down all then I heard about the battery that is hissed. From the photo of the low-end / high-end. Do you think my 2009 Skoda Fabia 2 (2007-2014 model I think) is low end or high end? I'd like to point out that I don't have any steering wheels and seats and everything.
Thank you for your help! I just put an android head unit to my Seat Leon MK2, and this resolved the problem with the battery drain. But, do you know, how to setup to shut down after 30min? In another version there is possibility to 30min, 1hour, 1day, 3day etc etc. Example, if you go to the shop, and next ignition you dont have to wait to boot up because the radio is in sleep mode. I think with 30min standby mode didnt drain too much the battery. Thank youuuu
Yes, if the unit is turning off and on by itself, like a bootloop, it's probably because it is getting too hot, mine does the same thing but only during very hot days. My solution is a blast the air conditioning on the coolest temperature and direct the vents inside, in about three minutes it stops the bootloop but again, this is for units like mine xyauto.
Thanks mate good video however my stereo doesn't turn off when i turn the car off and remove the key. Any idea why?could my mate have wired the stereo straight up to the battery?
Must be the wiring, had the same issue myself, I had to go back to the car electrician the first time and even after he wired it properly the unit still drained the whole battery, I tested to see if the unit shuts off completely without applying the settings and it didn't. Battery gone again, charged it back up and applied these settings and voila it stopped draining the battery, finally.
@@albinskenderovski Yes it was the wiring mate, had it fixed now by a mechanic for free when I had my alternator replaced. Starts and turns off with ignition now. Much better. Cheers
Thanks for that. I just installed this unit in my 2005 Mazda 6. Do u know much about the steering wheel controls ? It’s all plug and play on my unit. The steering controls work when the key is turned on one click but when I turn the key onto the second click and start the car the radio keeps changing channels, the music keeps changing tracks every second, UA-cam videos keep changing etc It’s like the skip button is activated even when I’m not pushing the skip button. Not sure what to do. All the plugs are in the correct sockets. Do I have to run an aftermarket steering wheel control box or is it supposed to work how it is ?
In the same menu there is an option about steering wheel controls, in Factory Settings. I don't have the car here but I will check it more thoroughly as it should work properly the way you connected it.
@@albinskenderovski i have installed the same unit on my bmw 3 series e46 2004 model. My steering wheel controls are not working. Can you tell where to connect key 1 and key 2 wires ? As they are for the steering wheel controls.
@@DriveWithAndy I checked in my car and I couldn't find anything related to what you are saying...there was one setting in Android Settings> Sounds> Touch Sounds, you can check if it's turned on and turn it off. Maybe it is the reason it is beeping on your radio however I highly doubt it. Why don't you tell me your model I bet I can find something to fix this "issue" of yours.
@@albinskenderovski the one bought is the one in this link www.aliexpress.com/item/4000805327070.html On another note, when the engine is on and you press and hold the on button it turns off but not fully, screen shows date and time and can see the screen is backlit slightly not off like when engine is off
@@DriveWithAndy That also happens with mine, the Off button is not for fully turning it off apparently🤷🏻♂️ . I saw the unit you bought and it seems similar to mine in terms of software, I will look more thoroughly again tomorrow and see if I had missed some hidden settings. I will reply back to you tomorrow friend ✌🏻
Hi I have tried what you said but it is still in standby mode with the lights on and ignition off and car locked any ideas ? Managed to set to auto shutdown but hasn’t actually do it
Then the issue is with the wiring, I think there is a comment from a user who shared how to wire them properly, I had the same issue in the beginning, only after proper wiring would these settings work and the unit would shut down completely. I recommend a visit to a car electrician just for a checkup on the wires.
Thanks for sharing this information… I was facing the battery drain problem and was thinking about adding extra switch.. but u saved me.. just one question about wiring, where to connect yellow wire, now it is connected with battery positive and red with half key ignition..
Sorry it took me so long to respond, I don't want to cause issues for you since I really do not know about the wiring. Someone else wired it for me and I had to go back to their workshop three times and still it would not shut down completely no matter what they did, even tho they assured me it was fixed, still it wasn't. Only this software trick does the job, you have to ask someone who properly understands audio wiring. If it works like this, nice but if you still have some issue it's best someone knowledgeable wires it.... on a different note I remember posting a link to someone else, it leads to a photo I had which shows what to do with the wires if you are having trouble. Sadly I don't have the link anymore but it's in the comments, have a look when you got the time ✌🏻
hi, i have a podofo model same layout and passwords as the video , although when i change the settings it still does not turn off. i have also disconnected the low use cable too. any idea why is is still doing this? cheers... edit got it sorted was a dodgy wire on the loom
@@YourFellowEngineer hi, you can check out this picture I have uploaded some time ago. It tells you which wire should be cut or not cut, from the aliexpress product page directly from the suppliers...if you are having the same issues this could be it ibb.co/TbYkH8T
Hi....I have the opposite problem. For some reason, my unit (similar to yours) is no longer fast booting unless I turn the stereo back on within minutes after shutting it off. And it takes 2-3 minutes for it to boot up. .......................What do the other 3 options mean? Mine is at "user mode".
@@albinskenderovski I tried all the modes. Now the radio takes 5-15 mins to boot up and sometimes it freezes. I guess I got a dud. Seller won't do anything about it.
@@50088 look at my other video where I explain how to enable engineering mode, it's the one for increasing volume, use the steps to activate mtk engineering mode and in there scroll to the right until you get to options about shutdown, I believe there was an option about Sleep mode, try changing that and see how it goes. I do not have the car anywhere close by( different country right now) but if you go to that option just tell me what you can select or unselect and I will try and help you if I can remember how mine was setup in that area.
I followed all the steps and changed the setting however when I remove the ignition the screen still stays on, what should I do as my battery keeps draining everytime I leave the car for two days and don’t drive
My best guess is your wiring is not properly done, same thing happened to me. I went back to the car electrician and told him what is happening and he switched some wires and voila.
Thank you so much for this!!!!! I turned it to direct shutdown like you showed. Question, is there a mode that will shut it down completely after a couple hours? That way if coming back to the car it starts up quickly but doesn’t drain overnight. Thanks again!
That would be perfect but sadly they don't have that option😅, for some cars it doesn't drain that much battery, I have no idea why it does for others. These units are hit and miss but they got a lot of features, much more than the traditional stereos that come pre-installed. So, you win some you lose some lol.
Ive tried the same thing. But now i think that my new issue must be the bluetooth being on. Tried just normally knocking it off? Any ideas other than airplane mode ?
My ac8257 android head unit don’t have the engineering test debugging or parameter settings, no sleep settings either…though i have the factory settings and accepted the 8888 code.. so i am still stuck with sleep mode and i already tried every settings but no luck on finding the auto sleep mode.. hope you can help me cos i am very frustrated now 😢
Maybe you could give me some more info on your exact model and I can look around for you...these are android units and I think it must have the same options hidden inside...also take a picture of the settings menu after you enter the factory code 8888 I wanna see something. I hope you know how to upload to imgur or other site for image uploads. I think we can solve your issue :)
@@kuwaitcutie Non sleeping mode should be disabled as it keeps it running, that's a different setting, I will dig around and see more about your device :)

I don't know if that's possible, depending on how your subwoofer is wired. Mine has the options for subwoofer volume but it doesn't do anything when I change it. It is found in factory settings then you go into usb settings and inside there it has Sound settings, the subwoofer is there, also some have it sound settings in main menu but it was not present in mine.

Impossible friend, try pressing any button on the unit it should get the screen working as this has nothing to do with the screen or display, this just makes the device shut down fully in order to avoid any battery usage.
@@albinskenderovski appreciated for such a fast reply . i dont think it s due to ur method as my unit needs to be recalibrated for the touch because everything bottom working like volume or home bottom just touch not working but i dont know how can recalibrate it

I have another video to disable sleep mode, or you keep it like that on purpose? For me it drained the whole battery overnight, I think that issue cannot be fixed 🤔
@@SeanFarrell-wf1yi My first issue was with wiring I think, but even after taking it to a car electrician and them confirming they have rewired it properly as to not drain any battery, still my device being left with sleep mode on and direct shutdown applied ot drained the battery completely. So what I did next was, apply direct shutdown and charged the car battery after that thus making sure it is full and not a battery issue. Next morning, battery was full again and the unit had not drained any battery whatsoever. When it completely shuts down there is no way for it to draw any power, except for the lowest of power use for the unit to keep in memory your saved settings. Are you having these same issues?
Hello. I tried this setting, but i think it's still draining my battery. I noticed in the sistem info settings that the can is disconnected when i start the car. If i connect it, it stays connected until i turn the car off. Any ideas? Please!
@albinskenderovski I took it to a shop that deals with the intalation for such devices. They did cut and connect a few wires because my car has stock amp in the trunk, and i had no sound in the back. Everything works fine, I just have this battery drain issue. To be honest, after i used the setting in your video, i didn't wait to see if it still drains. I take the radio plug. I will have to take my car to an electrician to see if your settings work, but seeing in the system info that the can remains disconnected, i dont know anymore.
@gabitrandafir8396 test it out, I really hope it works 🤔 but when these settings don't work it's usually the wires that are the problem, because as I have explained to other users it also happened to me this way, once I saw that the settings were taking no effect, I asked the car electrician to see if he properly wired it and he re-did it again. After that the settings worked properly, but if you left it on Sleep the battery would still drain, but with direct shutdown the battery was no longer getting drained. These units are a hit and miss, but this way it has helped so many people at least it's something 🤷🏻♂️, strange they don't explain it in their instructions when you purchase some of these units.
@albinskenderovski I played a little bit with the unit today, and i kept checking to see if the can remains connected. So far, so good. Maybe it disconnects because i keep removing the radio plug. I can't wait to see an electrician next week for the drain test because it's frustrating to keep removing that plug. Another issue i discovered was that every time i turn on the lights, i get some static in the speakers, and i can also hear the engine in the back speakers when i rev the car. When i contacted the guy that installed it, he told me it needs a sound filter. So now i have to get that too.😃. Hopefully, everything will be fine next week. If not, I'll just burn it🤣 and try to fix the old original unit.
@gabitrandafir8396 sounds to me the unit is not properly wired if you are getting a static sound 🤔 but hopefully everything gets fixed for you, believe me I know how frustrating it is because I went through all of it🤣 it took me a while to fix it, then after that I had to also find a fix for a volume glitch that happened after raising the volume past 19 and I always had to go past 19 because it was too little before 19. All sorts of little quirks that bugged the hell out of me lol
Hai. i already follow your step. But it still same never shutdown after ignition off. I already check and the setting already saved same like your shared in this video. Any others idea to solve my problem?
Wiring issue, there might be a wire that is not allowing it to sleep and read the settings from the unit., someone has already explained in these comments, I believe the people that wired it for you can rewire it properly for it to shutdown with these settings
Hello, your radio must be wired wrong. The keys being in contact turns the radio on, while removing them will turn it off( if applied the same settings as the video it will turn off completely). So, ask your car electrician once again the radio power on with the car's contact.
Last resort, you got to go to an expert in car electronics and stuff the wiring is just not setup right and it keeps the device on, this way you are fighting an uphill battle with your car battery, sooner or later it will die on you. Also depending on your car I had replied to other people in the comments about a different wiring method, I will try to find the link of the image, also sorry for late reply🙏🏻
@@albinskenderovski yea also battery has died twice already it’s a new battery only a week old and yea it sucks becuase it’s holding me back from driving mine
@@dunechasers6197 I completely understand, I hope you can fix it by the diagram on the photo, or again a car electrician can properly connect the wires they 100% know which one is causing the issues and only after they connect it properly then try this method and make sure it shuts down completely, after waiting about 15 to 20 seconds try switching on the car and see how it goes... I hope you got some warranty on those batteries
Where did you get that second password from? I hope it will work for me. I've got slightly different problem. After fitting one of those chinese android to my Focus MK2 the display on the dashboard placed by the speedo is not turning of after locking the car. I think it is because android and it's CAN-bus decoder keep communiacating to the car. I'll try this method.
If you have the same unit I recommend watching a video on my channel about upgrading your unit its very simple if you know how to download and copy over a file to an empty usb. That will definitely fix your issue as it upgrades everything. I had an issue with volume and after upgrading the issue was fixed, also the radio app had been updated.
@@mhdprestigevtc8994 Ok here you go two images depending on your car, you can see steering wheel controls wires, and I am guessing you can find yours on your power cord that comes from inside the empty hole where the unit goes. imgur.com/Z72DcUZ imgur.com/a/LCHLpta
There must be a sleep option at the very least. I think those px5 units are generally better that the ac877l units...try looking for sleep mode off option :)

I have the same system for my Vw Ameo my battery is dead totally I am not able to crank the vehicle vehicle has been been kept side for 20 days without using after a long ride what would be the issue in my case is that wiring issue or this android unit is draining battery even when car is off
The car has not been driven for 20 days, that could be an issue in of itself. Try to turn it on using jumper cables and fill up the battery, then leave the car overnight and see if it will start in the morning. All things aside I think it is better to setup your head unit like in the video and you will never have an issue with your battery again, it does not matter how you have wired it as long as it completely shuts down it will no longer waste your car battery.

Hey there After watching this video and following the steps, the red lights (phone, music etc) turns off but the screen stays on and functioning Do you have any solution? Thanks
There must be some issues with the way your unit is wired and it keeps the screen on, it's best to revert the settings back to the way they were. Check with a local car electrician and see if they can wire the unit to not use any power after the key is removed and then do these settings again.
Hi, did you make sure the settings were saved by going back into the settings? Sometimes it's not saved and it continues doing the same. Other times tho, the issue is with the wiring and cannot be helped by software, there is a pinned comment I think where a gentleman explains how to wire it properly :)
Hello there. I reach you after many days searching a solution for my car. I bought a cheap android screen for my bmw e46 and I installed it. It works fine until I start and stop the car 2 times.

Any idea please?? Thank you for your time dear...
Nothing turns on after you start the car? How did this happen, it's impossible🤔 maybe some wires have come loose or something, did you check it with a car electrician?
@@lovacc_1967 Resetting almost always fixes issues that have started after some upgrade or after some time of using these units, so far has fixed some issues I have had like google play store not opening, wifi not connecting and etc...

The amp only turns on when they key ignition switch is on Accessory and forward of course. I wonder what could be keeping your Unit powered on all the time. My only advice would be to look into the canbus installation see how those wires are connected. I recently sent a photo link to someone looking for the correct installation of these units. I will write back with the link and make give it a look. Or ask the people who wired your amp to see if they can make sense of it.

Respect.
You're a hero! You saved my battery on FIAT with ANKEWAY car Android. Now the standby is gone!
You saved me a lot of nerves my friend
Had this problem for about a year now with my android Radio
Norhing helped, then I randomly found your Video and my problem is solved now!
Thank you very much my brother you cant imagine how much you helped me with this Video !!
I am very glad I helped🙂🤲🏻 enjoy your unit my brother
Thanks for showing this, didnt know there was another hidden option behind this hidden menu
Hi there. I found your video today because a few months ago I bought a Chinese Head Unit, and since I fitted it, if I didn't drive the car for a week my car battery would go flat. Only today I learned that these units draw more electricity than older radios, when left in stand by. Tomorrow, I'll be fitting a new alternator, which I think I damaged by using jump leads so many times, because of the battery being flat. Once I've done that, I'll follow your instructions here and let you know how I got on. Thanks for the vid!
I am so sorry that happened to you, I will be waiting for an update :)
How did it go?
To really stop the battery draining change the power circuit to the cigarette lighter circuit that’s completely off with the car key when you stop the car.
This seems like a neat idea but many cannot handle electronics of the car. Mine was wired by a professional 😅, they should have known this thing probably, but yet again a professional doesn't always mean good at their job🤷🏻♂️
@@albinskenderovski It's really easy, I did it myself and I'm 81. In your fuse box detect witch is the one that protects the cigarette lighter and take it out, with a piggy back fuse holder take that place and connect a wire under the car dash, cut the original PWR cable from the harness and connect the new PWR cable that comes from the fuse box. Done, when you switch of the key there is NO PWR to the unit. Good Luck
@@albinskenderovski Here you have an example how to do it: ua-cam.com/video/vuK-CWEMC2A/v-deo.html
@@joseweisingerr7618 awesome I will see if I can pin this comment for people who are hardware-savvy 🙂 thanks a lot
@@albinskenderovski do I just go the wire from the adapter
Just done that... Will see how's the baterry in the morning.. Thanks for the video
I am also watching mine I really hope it works or rather worked otherwise I will throw the radio and go back to old school
Did it work?
You really helpen me 5 stars
Thank you for this! My Toyota Sienna died today and looking online I came across your video. My Android 12 head unit's interface is different than yours, but I was able to turn Sleep Mode OFF from "Settings" -> "Factory" -> "Sleep Mode when ACC is Off". The default setting was ON, meaning the radio was sleeping and drawing power. I turned it to OFF and that ensured a cold boot each time. The boot process is longer now, but not that bad... Maybe 20-30 seconds or so. The head unit has an 8-core CPU, perhaps that helps with the boot speed...
@@seattleitefpv I'm glad I could help
Thanks a ton mate..worked!!
I was really worried about battery drainage issue..I got my self a Chinese android display(that's what we get easily here in South aisa)
Hope now my car battery remains intact👍
Works perfectly on Esgoo Android 13.
Thank You! ❤
Followed the steps, hope it will solve my problem. Thanks 🙏
Thanks bro! Very useful tip:) no more dead battery
Great information, thank you so much. It worked like a charm!
thanks, mine was in user mode. i never saw mazda or android logo in normal use. BUT now it is slower to start, and i have to select things before use it, not a great thing. i try direct sleep mode instead, which seems to be like user mode.
It worked for me! Thanks a bunch i was gonna need a new battery 😅
Mate, you are a hero. Thank you!
we'll see if it fixes it. i only started looking for a video like this after my battery was dead
have to find a jump and wait a month or so. i bought a volt meter to test it out. what's a normal curent value for parasitic draw?
I have absolutely no idea, for some batteries even leaving it like this it doesn't drain it completely. This might be the case for 100% healthy batteries. I stood no chance lol, it would drain it in about 3 4 hours.
My hu is very similar and I was able to find and adjust this setting. When clicking back to the first settings screen, I was prompted for the 8888 code again (wouldnt let me "back" to the home screen). I tried clicking "Reboot" this let me restart it. Also the App button took me home. But it is still not shutting down completely. I plugged everything in as instructed on the back of the hu. No idea why it wont shut off completely but I'll go back in a couple of hours and check if it turned off completely.
If you have any ideas why I'd be interested. Is it a wiring issue? Will ask Podofo support too.
@jeffkelly636 it might be wiring issue, same thing happened to me the first time
@@albinskenderovski I have since located the solution - there is a tiny red wire (paired wire i believe) with a tiny plug-in on the harness that, if this tiny plastic connection is disconnected, makes the unit shut off when they key is removed from the ignition. Thank you.
Thanks you for the help 🎉
How did you do your Firmware update
Hi, look at my other videos I have one for firmware update 🙂
Thank you so much man! Mine runs the same software as your head unit, and this is such a good change!! Thanks for putting this out here
I am really glad it helped 🙂
Thank you mate 👍
Hey i dont know if youll see this but do you know how to disable the beeping sound when you turn the volume up and down?
Sadly that doesn't go away I think, you must tinker into the special factory settings and see if you can find it, some are in chinese that's why it's difficult.
I'm going to test this setting. There's also a cable "Low Use", in the cable tree from the Radio. Disconnecting it can save Battery too. I'll let you know if this one works too. Thanks for tutorial
Yes I tried with the cable "Low Use", actually took it to a car electrician and he said he fixed it and that he knew what the problem was. However, I knew that after at least two hours the radio should shut down on its own, so I tested it after about 4 and half hours later, the radio was still on. The next morning the car battery had died and I had to use jumper cables, with this Setting though everything is working fine, granted it takes about 10 seconds for it to boot everytime but it is worth it knowing the battery is not being used during the time the car is off.
blaupunkt
Did it work?
The battery drain issue is history but I still have the problem that my connected phone (Bluetooth) stops the Radio's MP3 player from playing when notification come in to the phone. It's a Radio issue I guess
Wich cable is low use and did it work?
Do you know what to do if heat isn't working properly? Passenger side gets heat but drivers side is cold. idk what to do
HELP please.
I have the same radio, I did the same steps, I have the same passwords, but the radio does not turn off after removing the key from the ignition switch. What additional steps could I do?
You have to wait about a minute before it turns off, if that is still not happening even after two minutes then maybe your issue is with the wiring. Just wait two minutes before testing if it works and make sure the settings have been saved.
@@albinskenderovski I found a solution to the problem!!!
The connector must be disconnected of the two orange and red cables from the main bone. Thanks to this, after removing the key from the ignition, the radio will turn off.
@@simonwishbit awesome, sometimes its the wiring that is the issue and with the software trick it must work properly, I am glad its fine for you now ✌🏻
Thankkk youuu, it shut down completely. Only annoying part is that it takes a min to boot up again
Thank you very much! It works!
When you put it on direct shut down mode, do you have to set all settings again each time you off ignition and on it ?
@@ms-os8of nope, they stay saved
Amazing!!!! Helped me so much👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I am so glad🙂
Thanks a lot mate, I’ll try as your way…. Very informative video. 👍👍
I have it set to sleep for one day (24 hours) because I like the fast asf boot while in the city, after that it shuts down completely so the battery wont die on roadtrips, cruises etc. (in theory, no idea of that setting even works 😂)
Was there an option to set it to power off after 24 hours, cuz in the video it just says to turn off
@@zkb9947 Like I said it is in sleep mode for 24 hours and then powers off completely.
Thank you for this 🙏 confirmed that it's working. We have the same unit...
Nice, I am glad it worked, enjoy your unit friend 🙂
@apex1viper do you need the bus decoder box plugged in for this to work? I've removed mine because it was messing up with the rear camera etc...! Thx for the video, much appreciated
You can try, if it is not shutting down completely, then yes the box is needed. In my case, the unit wouldn't even turn on without the canbus 🤔
I would like to ask since we are same android stereo head unit (maybe) do you experienced when you are begin to start the engine and automatic reverse then back camera sees at the back but immediately shutdown
Not for me because I dont have the camera, you should try Parameter settings and see if you can find it, it is a bad translation over there just try the camera settings and reverse them back if it doesnt fix your issue
@@albinskenderovski Thanks for the response.
Is there a setting sleep for 24 hours and then shutdown ? What’s the user setting exactly? Thanks
Sadly no, the user setting I believe is the one where it stays on all the time so it can be used fast, fastboot option.
Thank you for this, very helpful
Means when we switched off the car.
Take out key from ignition. Then still baterry is used ?
Yep exactly like that, for some it is ok, but for others it drains the entire car battery and the car doesn't start in the morning.
@@albinskenderovski but when i remove key from ignition it, the android device becomes off so how it would work or drain battery ? I checked after withdrawing key from ignition , the android system doesn't open.

But when I insert key in ignition then it works with parking lights again
I have well connected the B+ and ACC cables but my headunit doesn´t save volume configuration or radio stations. Any solution? Apparently has the same software as you.
But does it boot up every time you turn it on? And it erases all settings?

Hi, do you know how to change widgets on main screen?
Oh yes, you just long press and delete, but you wont be able to put different widgets, only icons can go there. The launcher is locked for some reasons and you cannot put anything you would like. You have to use a different launcher in order to use widgets but they make the unit much slower.
Love u so much ❤❤❤
Will this setting reset the time and equalizer settings ?
Hi, no it will not change those things 🙂
Hi man, thanks for this. I have just bought a PODOFO for my 2009 Skoda, everything works the same as on your video, I accessed the interface with the codes and everything, and put shut down all then I heard about the battery that is hissed. From the photo of the low-end / high-end. Do you think my 2009 Skoda Fabia 2 (2007-2014 model I think) is low end or high end? I'd like to point out that I don't have any steering wheels and seats and everything.
I believe Skoda 2009 would be high end, have you fixed it by now?
Bloody legend you 💯💯💯
Thank you for your help!
I just put an android head unit to my Seat Leon MK2, and this resolved the problem with the battery drain.
But, do you know, how to setup to shut down after 30min?
In another version there is possibility to 30min, 1hour, 1day, 3day etc etc.
Example, if you go to the shop, and next ignition you dont have to wait to boot up because the radio is in sleep mode.
I think with 30min standby mode didnt drain too much the battery.
Thank youuuu
Sadly some have the feature and some don't, if your menu is the same as mine then I don't think that feature would work for you
I have suzuki dezire 2021 model i have some issue on android screen it turned on and off by its self do you have a solution for that
Yes, if the unit is turning off and on by itself, like a bootloop, it's probably because it is getting too hot, mine does the same thing but only during very hot days. My solution is a blast the air conditioning on the coolest temperature and direct the vents inside, in about three minutes it stops the bootloop but again, this is for units like mine xyauto.
Thanks mate this worked on my HU as we share the same HU, have had this draining issue for a very long time
I am glad it helped 🙂
Thanks mate good video however my stereo doesn't turn off when i turn the car off and remove the key. Any idea why?could my mate have wired the stereo straight up to the battery?
Must be the wiring, had the same issue myself, I had to go back to the car electrician the first time and even after he wired it properly the unit still drained the whole battery, I tested to see if the unit shuts off completely without applying the settings and it didn't. Battery gone again, charged it back up and applied these settings and voila it stopped draining the battery, finally.
@@albinskenderovski Yes it was the wiring mate, had it fixed now by a mechanic for free when I had my alternator replaced. Starts and turns off with ignition now. Much better. Cheers
@@unknownuser-fv2lq I knew it lol, glad tidings from here on out :)
So when it’s in direct shutdown mode it should boot up completely every time you turn on the ignition. It shouldn’t turn on immediately?
Yes, exactly and thus not draining your battery
@@albinskenderovski and you only had to wait 20-30 seconds for the settings to take place. I ask because I did the same thing but it’s not working.
@frogcompanion7838 yes, at most you can wait for 1 minute. If it doesn't work then it probably needs to be rewired properly.
Truely a working thing🔥🔥
Thanks for that. I just installed this unit in my 2005 Mazda 6.
Do u know much about the steering wheel controls ? It’s all plug and play on my unit. The steering controls work when the key is turned on one click but when I turn the key onto the second click and start the car the radio keeps changing channels, the music keeps changing tracks every second, UA-cam videos keep changing etc
It’s like the skip button is activated even when I’m not pushing the skip button.
Not sure what to do. All the plugs are in the correct sockets. Do I have to run an aftermarket steering wheel control box or is it supposed to work how it is ?
In the same menu there is an option about steering wheel controls, in Factory Settings. I don't have the car here but I will check it more thoroughly as it should work properly the way you connected it.
@@albinskenderovski i have installed the same unit on my bmw 3 series e46 2004 model. My steering wheel controls are not working. Can you tell where to connect key 1 and key 2 wires ? As they are for the steering wheel controls.

@@DriveWithAndy I checked in my car and I couldn't find anything related to what you are saying...there was one setting in Android Settings> Sounds> Touch Sounds, you can check if it's turned on and turn it off.

@@albinskenderovski the one bought is the one in this link
www.aliexpress.com/item/4000805327070.html
On another note, when the engine is on and you press and hold the on button it turns off but not fully, screen shows date and time and can see the screen is backlit slightly not off like when engine is off
@@DriveWithAndy That also happens with mine, the Off button is not for fully turning it off apparently🤷🏻♂️ . I saw the unit you bought and it seems similar to mine in terms of software, I will look more thoroughly again tomorrow and see if I had missed some hidden settings. I will reply back to you tomorrow friend ✌🏻
I have the same radio were do u go to turn on the lights on the radio
It's in the factory settings, then backlight or key light. There are options in there, go ahead and see if yours are turned down all the way.
Hi I have tried what you said but it is still in standby mode with the lights on and ignition off and car locked any ideas ? Managed to set to auto shutdown but hasn’t actually do it
Then the issue is with the wiring, I think there is a comment from a user who shared how to wire them properly, I had the same issue in the beginning, only after proper wiring would these settings work and the unit would shut down completely. I recommend a visit to a car electrician just for a checkup on the wires.
Thanks for sharing this information… I was facing the battery drain problem and was thinking about adding extra switch.. but u saved me.. just one question about wiring, where to connect yellow wire, now it is connected with battery positive and red with half key ignition..
Sorry it took me so long to respond, I don't want to cause issues for you since I really do not know about the wiring. Someone else wired it for me and I had to go back to their workshop three times and still it would not shut down completely no matter what they did, even tho they assured me it was fixed, still it wasn't. Only this software trick does the job, you have to ask someone who properly understands audio wiring. If it works like this, nice but if you still have some issue it's best someone knowledgeable wires it.... on a different note I remember posting a link to someone else, it leads to a photo I had which shows what to do with the wires if you are having trouble. Sadly I don't have the link anymore but it's in the comments, have a look when you got the time ✌🏻
hi, i have a podofo model same layout and passwords as the video , although when i change the settings it still does not turn off. i have also disconnected the low use cable too. any idea why is is still doing this? cheers... edit got it sorted was a dodgy wire on the loom

@@albinskenderovski Can you tell where to connect key1 and key2, my steering wheel controls are not working 😕
thankyou!!!!😊
Hi....I have the opposite problem. For some reason, my unit (similar to yours) is no longer fast booting unless I turn the stereo back on within minutes after shutting it off. And it takes 2-3 minutes for it to boot up. .......................What do the other 3 options mean? Mine is at "user mode".
Did you try the sleep then restart mode? I think that's what you are looking for, but it will drain your battery, especially now during winter
@@albinskenderovski I tried all the modes. Now the radio takes 5-15 mins to boot up and sometimes it freezes. I guess I got a dud. Seller won't do anything about it.
@@50088 look at my other video where I explain how to enable engineering mode, it's the one for increasing volume, use the steps to activate mtk engineering mode and in there scroll to the right until you get to options about shutdown, I believe there was an option about Sleep mode, try changing that and see how it goes. I do not have the car anywhere close by( different country right now) but if you go to that option just tell me what you can select or unselect and I will try and help you if I can remember how mine was setup in that area.
I followed all the steps and changed the setting however when I remove the ignition the screen still stays on, what should I do as my battery keeps draining everytime I leave the car for two days and don’t drive
My best guess is your wiring is not properly done, same thing happened to me. I went back to the car electrician and told him what is happening and he switched some wires and voila.
Thank you so much for this!!!!! I turned it to direct shutdown like you showed. Question, is there a mode that will shut it down completely after a couple hours? That way if coming back to the car it starts up quickly but doesn’t drain overnight. Thanks again!
That would be perfect but sadly they don't have that option😅, for some cars it doesn't drain that much battery, I have no idea why it does for others. These units are hit and miss but they got a lot of features, much more than the traditional stereos that come pre-installed. So, you win some you lose some lol.
@@albinskenderovski thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to post this and to answer my question! 💪🏻👌🏻
Would this cause the unit to fully restart? Every time you turn it onv
On*?
Yep after about 20 seconds it starts from scratch everytime
Ive tried the same thing. But now i think that my new issue must be the bluetooth being on. Tried just normally knocking it off? Any ideas other than airplane mode ?
Hmmm I have no other idea, but usually if it is still being On it might be an issue with the wiring
In this case the equalization settings are reset whenever you restart Android?
No, eq settings stay the same, nothing gets reset

I have another video to disable sleep mode, or you keep it like that on purpose? For me it drained the whole battery overnight, I think that issue cannot be fixed 🤔
@@albinskenderovski like even if sleep mode is off there is nothing you can do to stop it from draining your battery
@@SeanFarrell-wf1yi My first issue was with wiring I think, but even after taking it to a car electrician and them confirming they have rewired it properly as to not drain any battery, still my device being left with sleep mode on and direct shutdown applied ot drained the battery completely. So what I did next was, apply direct shutdown and charged the car battery after that thus making sure it is full and not a battery issue. Next morning, battery was full again and the unit had not drained any battery whatsoever. When it completely shuts down there is no way for it to draw any power, except for the lowest of power use for the unit to keep in memory your saved settings. Are you having these same issues?
Hello. I tried this setting, but i think it's still draining my battery. I noticed in the sistem info settings that the can is disconnected when i start the car. If i connect it, it stays connected until i turn the car off. Any ideas? Please!
In this case I think the issue is in the wiring, have you done it yourself or did you have someone else install it for you?
@albinskenderovski I took it to a shop that deals with the intalation for such devices. They did cut and connect a few wires because my car has stock amp in the trunk, and i had no sound in the back. Everything works fine, I just have this battery drain issue. To be honest, after i used the setting in your video, i didn't wait to see if it still drains. I take the radio plug. I will have to take my car to an electrician to see if your settings work, but seeing in the system info that the can remains disconnected, i dont know anymore.
@gabitrandafir8396 test it out, I really hope it works 🤔 but when these settings don't work it's usually the wires that are the problem, because as I have explained to other users it also happened to me this way, once I saw that the settings were taking no effect, I asked the car electrician to see if he properly wired it and he re-did it again. After that the settings worked properly, but if you left it on Sleep the battery would still drain, but with direct shutdown the battery was no longer getting drained. These units are a hit and miss, but this way it has helped so many people at least it's something 🤷🏻♂️, strange they don't explain it in their instructions when you purchase some of these units.
@albinskenderovski I played a little bit with the unit today, and i kept checking to see if the can remains connected. So far, so good. Maybe it disconnects because i keep removing the radio plug. I can't wait to see an electrician next week for the drain test because it's frustrating to keep removing that plug. Another issue i discovered was that every time i turn on the lights, i get some static in the speakers, and i can also hear the engine in the back speakers when i rev the car. When i contacted the guy that installed it, he told me it needs a sound filter. So now i have to get that too.😃. Hopefully, everything will be fine next week. If not, I'll just burn it🤣 and try to fix the old original unit.
@gabitrandafir8396 sounds to me the unit is not properly wired if you are getting a static sound 🤔 but hopefully everything gets fixed for you, believe me I know how frustrating it is because I went through all of it🤣 it took me a while to fix it, then after that I had to also find a fix for a volume glitch that happened after raising the volume past 19 and I always had to go past 19 because it was too little before 19. All sorts of little quirks that bugged the hell out of me lol
Will this allso stop canbus to drain?
Yes this completely shuts off the unit so no draining from anywhere at all
Hai. i already follow your step. But it still same never shutdown after ignition off. I already check and the setting already saved same like your shared in this video. Any others idea to solve my problem?
Wiring issue, there might be a wire that is not allowing it to sleep and read the settings from the unit., someone has already explained in these comments, I believe the people that wired it for you can rewire it properly for it to shutdown with these settings
Hi i have problem with this radio i am doing the same thing but if i remont the Keys the radio dont turs off can you help me?
Hello, your radio must be wired wrong. The keys being in contact turns the radio on, while removing them will turn it off( if applied the same settings as the video it will turn off completely). So, ask your car electrician once again the radio power on with the car's contact.
@@albinskenderovski ok thanks
@@olix3r590 Sorry I couldn't help more, I hope you fix it soon✌🏻
@@albinskenderovski yup thats worked thanks so much
@@albinskenderovski it still didnt work for me, even if i do these settings :( i dont know what to do
So I just tried on my unit everything works like passwords and stuff but after all of that it still won’t turn off and ignition is off what do I do
Last resort, you got to go to an expert in car electronics and stuff the wiring is just not setup right and it keeps the device on, this way you are fighting an uphill battle with your car battery, sooner or later it will die on you. Also depending on your car I had replied to other people in the comments about a different wiring method, I will try to find the link of the image, also sorry for late reply🙏🏻
ibb.co/TbYkH8T there's the photo have a look
@@albinskenderovski yea also battery has died twice already it’s a new battery only a week old and yea it sucks becuase it’s holding me back from driving mine
@@dunechasers6197 I completely understand, I hope you can fix it by the diagram on the photo, or again a car electrician can properly connect the wires they 100% know which one is causing the issues and only after they connect it properly then try this method and make sure it shuts down completely, after waiting about 15 to 20 seconds try switching on the car and see how it goes... I hope you got some warranty on those batteries
Does the reverse camera still work while the unit is booting up?
Sadly nope, you have to wait at least for the homescreen to show up
@@albinskenderovski That's a big bummer.
function saves memory and clock ?
Yes yes, those are intact :) sorry for late reply
Where did you get that second password from? I hope it will work for me. I've got slightly different problem. After fitting one of those chinese android to my Focus MK2 the display on the dashboard placed by the speedo is not turning of after locking the car. I think it is because android and it's CAN-bus decoder keep communiacating to the car. I'll try this method.
Some forums have all the passwords, luckily I stumbled upon one back in the day
Working to junsun v1 i have problem my batery drawing help or no??
Sure, what kind of problem is it? Have you checked the wiring before applying the settings like in this video?
I have the same unit. My radio app is not working. When i press on the radio icon it blinks and the app doesn't starts. Can you help ?
If you have the same unit I recommend watching a video on my channel about upgrading your unit its very simple if you know how to download and copy over a file to an empty usb. That will definitely fix your issue as it upgrades everything. I had an issue with volume and after upgrading the issue was fixed, also the radio app had been updated.
@@albinskenderovski actually everything is the same as yours, but the top android row does not matches with mine.
@@mhdprestigevtc8994 I am looking through my pictures as I had a photo of how to wire the unit for the controls I will get back to you in a while :)
@@albinskenderovski ok, thanks 😊
@@mhdprestigevtc8994 Ok here you go two images depending on your car, you can see steering wheel controls wires, and I am guessing you can find yours on your power cord that comes from inside the empty hole where the unit goes.

Thank you very much bro u are the best
Hi, I followed all your instructions and just not working on my mk6 golf
What is it saying? Also, make sure you don't unpack the downloaded file.
i have a px5 android 8 older car stereo and i dont have engineering debugging option unfortunately
There must be a sleep option at the very least. I think those px5 units are generally better that the ac877l units...try looking for sleep mode off option :)
have an eonon radio with the same software. did this and it helped it last longer but there's still a .80 amp drain from the radio. truck never drained before installing. no shorts anywhere and it's wired properly.
I know my friend, these are wild on the battery, and there was only one person among all of these comments who said that I was exxagerating and misleading people by saying that they drain the battery. I only made the video to help whoever I can 🤷🏻♂️ because I know how frustrating it is, that .80 amp drain, is it causing significant issues for you?
@@albinskenderovski oh yeah my battery dies overnight. Lasted an extra night after doing this but came out this morning and it was dead only sitting about 12 hours. I'm gonna try manually wiring the power to an accessory wire and see if that stops it. Got mine in a 2010 Silverado. Hopefully I didn't waste $170 😅 8" screen and plug and play sounded too good to pass up haha.
@@pookeyjames8241 I think you could try on the cigarette lighter but I really have no idea on the hardware side of this, clearly you can manage it...I don't remember If I have clarified it in description or some comments, but I also had issue like that after doing this method the next morning battery was dead, back to the car electrician he wired it differently and when I got home I left it at default, next morning battery dead again. So finally setting it back to this method and after that I recharged the battery, the next morning it was fine and it never happened again. Tricky little ones, but you will get it working, they are not cheap at all and I wouldn't like it for you to have wasted your money....I don't like injustice lol, write back and tell me what happens ✌🏻
@@albinskenderovski will do 👍 I definitely want to help the people out that are having the same problem as me. Was advertised as plug n play but now I have this problem and I'm pretty good with wiring just about anything 😂. Definitely an injustice especially when paying $170 for the cheapest model they have available 🤦
@@pookeyjames8241 did you figure it out? i’m having this same exact problem with the eonon q50pro on my e46.. battery dies overnight
I have the same system for my Vw Ameo my battery is dead totally I am not able to crank the vehicle vehicle has been been kept side for 20 days without using after a long ride what would be the issue in my case is that wiring issue or this android unit is draining battery even when car is off
The car has not been driven for 20 days, that could be an issue in of itself. Try to turn it on using jumper cables and fill up the battery, then leave the car overnight and see if it will start in the morning. All things aside I think it is better to setup your head unit like in the video and you will never have an issue with your battery again, it does not matter how you have wired it as long as it completely shuts down it will no longer waste your car battery. Good luck.
@@albinskenderovski thanq for your reply I will try the settings as shown I have given battery for charge it’s 1.5 years old hope it should work after charge
@@KrishnaPrasad-wl6kl I’m having same problem I’ve done the settings and my battery has been dead the last 2 days not sure what else I can do any ideas ??
@@KrishnaPrasad-wl6kl it will definitely work, it worked for me although my battery was over 3 years old. I hope it works out for you friend :) take care
@@deancreighton1185 it looks my issue has been fixed I have given my dead battery to charge it till it reaches green colour from silver
No one knew but you 💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
I am glad it helped 🙂
Hi
I have Junsun android unit and it drained 2 batteries. The difference with my car is that even the original Skoda swing unit didn't turn off with the ignition I was jusing the power button but it never drained my battery. With the new unit is the same thing I have to turn it off with the button but I have feeling its not turning off completely because it's draining the battery and there's no android starting thing it just comes right up there I finish before turn off.. Please help me. Many thanks
You will have to give me some more info, as in can you get into any of these extra settings, share some photos if you will...I can try and help you cause definitely your radio is not turning off completely
@@albinskenderovski problem solved, my menu didn't have the option that you have just simple settings so I looked through the wiring and found out that I'm getting constant power so I've disconnected 2 orange wires and now it's turning off with the key ignition and when I turn the unit on there is the android starting proces so I know it shut down completely
I would post I photo but I don't know how
@@Luchy1119 go to this site:

Hey there
After watching this video and following the steps, the red lights (phone, music etc) turns off but the screen stays on and functioning
Do you have any solution?
Thanks
There must be some issues with the way your unit is wired and it keeps the screen on, it's best to revert the settings back to the way they were. Check with a local car electrician and see if they can wire the unit to not use any power after the key is removed and then do these settings again.
Hi I just followed these steps and waited about 5 minutes but the screen continued to stay on, any tips? thanks for this video :)
Hi, did you make sure the settings were saved by going back into the settings? Sometimes it's not saved and it continues doing the same. Other times tho, the issue is with the wiring and cannot be helped by software, there is a pinned comment I think where a gentleman explains how to wire it properly :)
Nice info
Hello there.
I reach you after many days searching a solution for my car.
I bought a cheap android screen for my bmw e46 and I installed it.
It works fine until I start and stop the car 2 times.
One little screen on the tachometer stays on even if I remove the keys from the ignition and if I didn't notice it after a while it triggers the aftermarket alarm that the car has...
Any idea please??
Thank you for your time dear...
Samw problem, did u find the solution?
my radio doesnt open anymore do you have a solution for this problem
Nothing turns on after you start the car? How did this happen, it's impossible🤔 maybe some wires have come loose or something, did you check it with a car electrician?
@@albinskenderovski I dont know honestly I gotta check it today maybe if i reset it to factory settings
@@lovacc_1967 Resetting almost always fixes issues that have started after some upgrade or after some time of using these units, so far has fixed some issues I have had like google play store not opening, wifi not connecting and etc...
@@albinskenderovski Yeah im gonna try it out today thanjs man
Wondering if the drainage has something to do with loss of sound from the head unit?
Not necessarily 🤔 I haven't considered it tho, the drainage of this magnitude is something bigger, my car would go from full battery to nothing in less than 8 hours
