More Android Functionality Questions…

When you say "I could get into the menu", do you mean the orange on black menu (on top of the dash) ?

Yeah, but the unit wouldn’t power. It’s going back. I just fitted it without the connects2 loom and the dash was flipping between mph and kph!!!

I’ll stick with the original, a phone holder and Bluetooth!

I'm not sure I understand the problem correctly.

The connects 2 devices allow the head unit to be controlled by the stork, other connects 2 boxes allow the reversing sensors to work etc. The ISO connector allows the Peugeot built in multi connector behind the dashboard to fit to a different head unit, so its specific to Peugeot and the head unit (which is usually a standard fitting - but not always).

As far as I'm aware no aftermarket head unit functions will show up on the orange/black display on top of the dash - Connects2 stated that on the tech pages of their website.

The "flipping" between mph and kph would seem to indicate a problem with the stork control, as that is how you would change the standard display configuration.

Not sure that any of this helps, but as 2Retro says, many of us have changed the head unit and managed to get all working.

Hi Chris, here were the problems…

When using the connects 2 cable in line, unit didn’t power. But it did power with the loom that came with the unit. I did have control of the Peugeot menu from the stalk though.

I noticed that the ISO pin outs on the C2 unit were different. So I changed them to match. Still no joy and the unit didn’t power.

I’ve just now tested the unit without the C2 lead again and I noticed that the dashboard was flicking between miles and kilometres. It had also reset the service warning and the dash is now telling me I’m due for a service. On top of that, the facia for the heater didn’t sit properly.

it was a load of rubbish and is about to be returned.

Cheers, Rob.

Fair enough !

I only wanted it for Car Play but it turned into such a massive pain in the arse I’ll stick with my current set up of a phone holder and Bluetooth, I’ll possibly score a USB adapter so I can charge the phone from somewhere near the dash and sacrifice the one in the arm rest.

Thanks for all your help though.

I have an Android headunit, as long as you have the canbus box installed with it you can access ALL functions in the multifunctional display! I use the Raise canbus box...

I had volume control but couldn’t get into the Peugeot menu. And not being able to set tte clock would boil my puss! I know it’s daft but…..

when i fitted the android unit to my rcz. i also had the issue with the milage flashing between kms and miles. it turned out to be a faulty can busbox.

i replaced my canbus box updated the settings in the android unit, then you need to swipe down twice from the top of the main screen and do a resart from there.

all is working correctly now.

Thank you 2010 but it’s too late. They’re dead to me. I dropped £250 on the unit and various cables for a badly fitting thing that didn’t work properly and reduced functionality.

I’m going to stick with the stock unit. I’ll look at improving the sound quality some how, maybe better speakers and a sneaky amp.

we have to remember that these cars are ‘soon to be classics’ and originality counts in that situation.
