Technical Steering Wheel Controls after fitting Android head unit.

[AdamST205]

I bought an android head unit. One of those Chinese units.

This one to be precise.

Pardon our interruption...

I have gotten it all working great and it links up to the phone no problem and even got the reverse camera working. I just need to wire it into the rear bumper but I cannot get the steering wheel controls working.

Anyone have experience with these units and how to get them to work?

The canbus unit that plugs into the headunit is branded simplesoft.

Here is what made it work for me.

Somewhere in head unit settings, you can set Canbus brand, car type, makeyear, option-level.
Canbus brand was set to "Simple" (SimpleSoft?), I changed to "Raise" and steering controls started working.

(My Canbus is also Simplesoft)

I did try that but it didn't work. I ended up ordering a new canbus module with cable from AliExpress. "Hiworld" 1.2

Changed the canbus settings on the unit to hiworld and now no flashing dash and steering controls work.

Next and Previous track are back to front however a setting in the head unit has fixed that.
