You are the best. Factory settings section solved all my issues. Thanks so much, you deserve a thumbs up 🎉👍👍👍👍

you're welcome. Hope it helps

Hello, my brother . I just wanted to thank you for all your videos, and I found out on 07 Honda Pilots and other vehicles made before 2010 that you have to ground the brown wire from the factory harness to and screw metal to ground with key 2 wire don't ground to wire harnesses from android unit it won't work it works off resistance and then watch you're video's I even sent you links to the sellers at Ebay they said they would put add you're link because they just sell and don't know anything about setting up the unit 😮 So you are about to get more hits as KZbinr...💪🏻🤪👍

[@lavithhcm]

@@jeepbro0575 did my video clip solve your problem though? I mean "fixing the streering wheel button to control" the android head unit by changing the software setting for pull-up resistor. In my case, the setting shown in the video did it for me. Some other case, you might change to different settings. That is where to fix steering wheel buttons. 🥰

[@jeepbro0575]

Yes, but it didn't work until I wired it up right...

@@jeepbro0575 bro i just connected key 1 and key 2 to the wire hanas but my keys a not working ?

[@milan030]

Very good man 👍 This video helped me to set both key1 and key2, at first only one key wire worked for me. Thank you so much 😊

[@lavithhcm]

Glad it helped. Cheers

I just installed my android unit in my honda pilot today how do I wire my key 1 and key 2?? I did hook up my key 1 to green and red wire they say to do that on Honda forum

[@pansarakariyawasam8686]

I have the same issue. But I don't have that many settings in my player options. I have 2 wires Key 1 and Key 2. Should I connect these wires to something for the steering wheel buttons to work? Please advise if you can. Will be a great help. 2014 Mazda 3 Hatchback.

Hi. I am teaching the steering wheel controls on my android head unit. All button program. Apart from volume + and volume-. They do program but it chooses the last one to be programmed. The resistance values are + is 300 ohms. - 150ohms. It looks like the unit is not seeing the difference. I have a spare switch and all the resistances are the same on both switches

[@skyzestory1529]

Hello Thanks for the video ! I have the same issue in my car, I will try to deal with it this afternoon. Also, I don't know what but the "Steering Learn" section is missing is it normal or there's an extra option for have it ? Thanks in advance!

[@corruptcmd]

Fixed my car! Thank you so much

How do you get the speed odometer working at the right speed and having problems with my radio not picking up stations

[@lavithhcm]

Mine cant even pick up any radio stations due to no ant connectors/connection. I know some other units might have that option though. But in my case i use OEM to play radio since i dont loose any OEM functuion as media head unit. Not sure if i understand about your speedometer not working out for you. My unit has GPS connected and the car launcher software just picks up just fine and calculate speed. Make sure your gps signals are great.

[@jaskaran2141997]

Hey I also have Honda Accord 08, my steering controls won't get recongnized at all. Any ideas? I tried this already. They were working before I got this

[@lavithhcm]

I usually don't recommend resetting the unit before you have tried everything. But what do you have to loose when resetting? Then try this.

[@cardirec]

does your talk button on the steering wheel work? somehow, mine doesn't. i have a 2012 civic

[@lavithhcm]

I dont know cuz my car doesnt have talk button. I talk directly to android head unit which process my incoming phone call thru bluetooth. The android head unit listen to the wake-up word "hey google" and from there i can pretty much interact with it like giving a command "make a phone cal to...." "play music on spotify"... not sure if these function you are looking for.

[@lavithhcm]

If you mean the oem function of your civic talk button not working, then check if you have assign it to something else.

[@fs.audi.8p]

hey I installed xtrons into my audi everything works apart from the swc controls when I try programe the buttons the dont register at all could you help ? tia

[@lavithhcm]

It has to do with the pull-up resistor settings as in one of my videos. Try each of the setting to see it works out OK for you. Let me know what setting works!

[@fs.audi.8p]

@@lavithhcm it's okay I plugged the canbus in but not the 2nd connection goin into the quad lock it's now working thanks for reply

[@slonemark]

I have a 2011 Honda Accord with a Android 13 radio how do you all get your radio stations to come in did you have to buy a aftermarket antenna cuz I'm not picking up nothing and I tried the settings like you had showed in the video but my steering wheel button still do not work any any other ideas

[@lavithhcm]

My android head unit doesnt come with connector for ANT hookup... so it doesnt have AM/FM radio function.

[@MecaEvolution]

Hello, I did everything, but mine is not working. previously I hab another Android radio, I set up the steering wheel button without problem. But this one is not working. It is the same radio as yours.

[@AngryKevin2o11]

There's a chance that the android radio harness doesn't have a pin out wire for neither key 1 or key 2. I noticed this after watching both of his videos and making all the adjustments he recommended. Also after researching a little I realized that you need a key 1 or key 2 wire on the radio harness to tap into the factory radio harness. I checked my harness out on my android radio headunit and noticed there were no key 1 or key 2 wires coming from the harness, only the basic wires for powering the radio on. I have the other harness that has usb and backup cam capabilities but not the key 1 or key 2. I can probably correct this by ordering the proper harness but at this point it's not worth the extra money for me personally. So I just live with it. Good luck.

[@edwinrivas9532]

Hey I know this is a long shot but I have no other option, you seem highly educated on this, I basically installed my after market screen and it worked after a day it just kept going black but the side controls on the screen never went out just the screen going black so I factory rebooted it, didn’t work, android rebooted didn’t work, then disconnected and reconnected cs I thought the wires were loose. It was working fine for a couple hours but I forgot I had set up my steering lean controls + and - and when I pressed + it went black and started doing it again. I have a 2009 Corolla. And also when i drive it shuts off and disconnects bt but when I come to a complete stop it loads back up any idea what I should do???

I ve already sucsesfully actvate the steering switch (5 button). But the engine check indicator is become on, In OBD scaner say it is Vehicle speed sensor and display control modul signal error. What do you think the cause of problem ?. Car iis TOyota Yaris sedan 2008. Thank you

[@lavithhcm]

your unit is totally different from mine. But I remember in the parameter settings where you can select your particular car model and make for the androind head unit to work correctly. Try it to see if it solves your problem. Check this video out kzbin.info/www/bejne/apfTq6B4mt17mNEsi=5BvFYA6guMQjSyLH at 1:11 mark

How to fix when Steering Wheel Control not working with original radio after installation of the android one

I have the same issue. Could you let me know if you find a fix?

[@HosseinGhodsi-w8g]

Hi I have audi q5 2013 and I can’t fix my steering key with my android media I did all your instructions but no result , wuold you help me

[@lavithhcm]

Sorry, i couldnt be much help there. Try one of my videos about steering fix for different pull-up resistor setting to see if it helps.

[@rajanikanta9307]

What about others android head unit, where no such options is available like direction control settings & encoder settings. I have TS-9 android unit where no such features exists.

[@lavithhcm]

Maybe they have different firmware with different name. Check for pull-up resistor though. I think they are more important settings for AHU to recognize the steering wheel button signals.

[@Kevin-hq5os]

All I keep getting is setup failed, please try again. It’s so frustrating because my “next” button on my steering wheel somehow is BT connect and won’t get unregistered.

[@Quinten_Ebben]

I did everything you said. But its not working for my honda accord 2010....

[@lavithhcm]

What issue do you have first of all? 2010 is basically same gen Accord as mine. Did you remember to save the setting? Try different Pull-up resistor settings as shown if it can correct it. Good luck!

[@Quinten_Ebben]

@@lavithhcm thanks. But i have connect only the power cable in the radio is that the issue?

[@lavithhcm]

I bought the kit it came with everything needed to hook onto OEM unit. There is a power spliter which provides power to both OEM and Android Head Unit. I also remember there is extension cable that connects to OEM LCD display.

How did you get rid of static

[@lavithhcm]

I couldnt but remedy is that i turn on my headlights. static noise goes away completely. it must be grounding issue.

[@vempatisivanarasimharao6620]

Did You find any fixed solution for that for now ?? I really appreciate your reply

[@lavithhcm]

@@vempatisivanarasimharao6620 sorry no solution to the static noise issue. To be honest it doesn't really bother me much if I turn music volume up. Besides, driving at night with headlights "on" I have no static noise. There is not much I can do, except for tighten those RCA AUX connectors with zip-tie. I open it up and wrap around video and audio RCA connectors for front and back cameras and AUX audio line to OEM system. Oh, one more thing, you know how the OEM LCD panel comes with some metal backing on the unit, make sure you ground that backing as well. That is for my Honda only. If you have other car than mine, you can use high quality audio cable which has shielding from RF interference. Good luck and hope it helps. Thanks for stopping by.

[@rickysahjal896]

I only have 1 check mark no matter what I select

[@lavithhcm]

The android head unit firmware should allow you to basically add as many "check marks" as you can. But sometimes, the firmware doesn't recognize the button pressed so it doesn't register that button. So the underlying issue is that, how is your hardware connected together.? I can't solve it.. just pointing out the direction.

[@TheD3m1G0D]

My issue is I can only set steering wheel mute, volume up, or volume down. It will NOT let me set all three. Learning one, then the other clears out the previous learn. Any ideas? Here's a video of my issue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqbdlmyQbr1oZ6s

[@lavithhcm]

I see. I look into it for you. But if you have nothing to loose, try to reset the system and see if it works out

[@lavithhcm]

Try with different pull-up resistor setting as shown in the video. My car works with that specific pull-up resistor setting. Yours maybe different. Tell us how it works out for you.

[@TheD3m1G0D]
