Twingo 3 with Android Car headunit

Looks quite nice.

Do you have some more Details on the System? Brand? Price? Where to buy?

What size is the "hidden unit"? Got pix from it?

Das Android 1 Din Radio ist super!

Bin super glücklich

Ich finde nur, dass der WLAN Empfang des Geräts fast nicht existent ist.

ich muss nochmal schauen, ob ich etwas falsch angeschlossen habe.

alles weitere ist bis jetzt wirklich spitze.

die Blende kommt wie zuvor gesagt von vorn auf das Radio, was aber kein Problem ist.

Hello WiFlex

I made a very similar setup and your thread helped me a lot.

im absolutely in love with the new system.

I bought a 8core with 6GB ram and 128gb storage unit. From outside it’s identical to yours.

I also got all music control buttons on the wheel to work with an connects2 adapter.

I have one question, I have the same „speak button“ on the front of the steering wheel, did you manage to get this button working? For example to trigger an speech assistant like google or Alexa on the Android unit? Would be really cool to get this button working in some way.

Speaking of Alexa, I can‘t get the Alexa App to work.

After signing in, the app just crashes.

I tried to figure out the reason, what I noticed was, the login page which pops up after the first „Alexa app“ start points to „amazon.cn“ which is the china domain and all Amazon Alexa services do not work over this .cn domain.

i did not figure out why the app always points to amazon.cn instead of amazon.com or in my case it’s .de for Germany.
If you change the system language, the Alexa app login page also changes its language, but it still points to amazon.cn, so it’s just the translation which changes.

I think the main issue here is the wrong login page and I don‘t know which Setting of the head unit causes the Alexa app to point to .cn

have you tried this before?

The speak button on steering wheel (face symbol) have no connection to the joystick (under the wiper stick).
This speak button is connected to to a Control Unit with CAN Bus and over CAN bus to the original radio....

After market radios can not use the speak button.

Steering wheel converters convert only the resistiv joystick buttons for a after market radio and read the CAN Bus for using ignition, light, backwards drive....

I made a DIY steering wheel converter to use the joystick buttons on a china radio with KEY1 and KEY2 inputs and use the steering wheel learning function.

The DIY version only cost's 2€

amazon.CN problem - change in the main settings the location to germany
or the Alexa App is preinstalled - deinstall it and download the Alexa App with your local google account

Couldnt you use a canbus Decoder or something like that?

there is no decoder available that support the speak button.

And nobody knows the CAN Bus protocol that is send if the button is pushed.

So you need a CAN Bus sniffer.
