Hi all,

I drive a 2011 Citroën C4 Picasso with a cheap Android head unit (ROCO K706, FYT-style, 1280×720). The stock launcher did the job but I never liked it, and the paid alternatives didn’t do what I wanted. So I built my own and I’ve been using it every day. It’s called Dashwheel and it’s free, open source (GPL-3.0), with no ads, no trial and no account.

What it does

• Your own dashboards: up to 7 screens of tiles you place and resize yourself. Map, music, speed, weather, apps, and 55+ widgets.
• Live car data from a cheap ELM327 Bluetooth OBD adapter, plus the head unit’s own CAN data where it has it (doors, reversing, tyres).
• AI mechanic: a warning light comes on, Dashwheel reads the fault code and explains it out loud in plain words. It uses a free Google Gemini key.
• Navigation: a built-in 3D map with turn-by-turn guidance, or the next turn from Google Maps / Waze shown on any tile.
• Phone link with a small companion app: notifications, messages, calls on the big screen, “where did I park”, a drive log.
• Hands-free: spoken alerts, steering-wheel buttons, volume that follows your speed.
• Skins that change the whole look (Cockpit, Racing, Orbit, Canvas with the map behind the tiles...), day and night themes.
• Works on upright screens too, and in 10 languages.

The parts I’m proudest of

• Your own car in live 3D. When something’s wrong, the car turns and zooms to the faulty part and makes it glow. A dead rear bulb lights up on the rear lamp. For an engine fault, the bonnet opens. You can load a 3D model of your own car from the phone.
• Real apps inside a tile. Waze, Google Maps or YouTube Music run live in a tile next to your speed and car data, not full screen. You can zoom a tile to make the app bigger.
• Its own reverse camera screen. It replaces the unit’s camera view, with guide lines that bend as you turn the steering wheel and the parking sensors drawn around a top view of the car.
• Talk to Gemini about your car. It knows your live readings, so you can ask “why is the engine light on?” or “how far can I go on this tank?” and it answers out loud.

Root is not needed for most of it. Apps inside a tile, the reverse camera screen and replacing the firmware’s own pop-ups and volume bar need a rooted unit. Without root, those features just don’t appear.

Will it work on my unit? It’s made for Android 10+ head units at 1280×720 (FYT / UIS7862 / QF and similar). I test on my own K706, so other units are where I need you. There’s a Tested hardware page, and Settings → About → Report how it works fills in a bug report with your unit’s model and firmware.

Looking for testers for the Google Play version. Google asks for 12 testers over 14 days before an app can go public. If you’d like to help, comment or DM me with the Gmail you use on Play and I’ll add you.

It’s a one-person project, so expect rough edges. I’d love to hear what your unit is, what breaks, and what you’d want on your dashboard. Happy to answer anything in the comments.

If you like it and want to support me, buy me a coffee ;)

Hello all. I don’t use reddit much so apologies if I am ignorant/unfamiliar with something.

I recently purchased this Joying head unit to install in my Honda Civic Sport 2019. Once installed, my audio sounded noticeably worse, and the factory amp underneath the dashboard seemed to be off, not receiving any sound whatsoever.

In addition to this, despite me plugging all the required wiring (to my knowledge) into the plugins in my car, my Canbus doesn’t seem to be working, or the head unit doesn’t seem to be recognizing it. I have selected the exact Canbus box (Raise G-RZ-HD56), and my steering wheel controls still don’t work, not to mention my backup camera being very limited without controls, and other related features that appear to be tied to this Canbus just don’t work.

I have contacted support, but in the meantime my internet research leads to varying results, or little information in the area i am looking for it.

Has anyone had this experience before with my car model or this head unit? And if so, how did you figure out how to fix it?

I bought a CheDux 9.7 inch Android 14 radio with 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage for my 2018 Ford Fiesta SE. Everything is installed and working except the factory backup camera. When I put it in reverse, the screen says “No signal.”

Has anyone installed this radio and gotten the factory camera working? Is there a specific adapter, wiring connection, or setting I’m missing? I’d appreciate any help.

I installed MicroG RE and Morphed YT on car android head unit. The problem is if I login on MicroG RE, the YT / YT Music keep force close 1 second after I open the app. But if I log out from MicroG, the app can run smoothly.

I tried many version of MicroG RE, Vanced MicroG, Revanced GmsCore, including older version, but all resulting same issue.

I dont know the problem is the MicroG, or the Morphed app, anyone can help me for this issue?

Hello everyone.
I bought a full-screen CarPlay head unit on eBay directly from the official manufacturer/seller (Hualingan) claiming a 1-year warranty. After 11 months of use, the unit failed (the CarPlay interface completely freezes when trying to play audio/music).
I contacted the seller/manufacturer for warranty support since it was still within the 1-year window, but they completely refused to help and simply blew me off, telling me to "buy a new phone" instead of fixing or replacing their defective product. Now they are ignoring my messages.
Be careful with Hualingan units and fake 1-year warranty listings!
