So i think there is something wrong in the harness they supplied.
Well that part is to be expected as you're trying to operate parts of the system that are not functioning thus giving errors. Usually using a code scanner to clear codes is better than disconnecting the battery. Preferably a dealer level scanner.

I have Xentry and a dedicated scanner, but what i meant was that after taking out the new system and building back the original i could not get it online in the bus. It works again and the errors are gone now. Still nothing from the vendor so maybe i waisted 500 euro's there....

Hey GUYS I need help.

I'm installing the android radio.

But suspension controls are not functioning. Weird thing the radio came with 1 wire plug, that connect to the 3 wire plug of the car where normally suspension controls are. Also 1 cable does not go anywhere? Can you help me?

I have attached pictures via wetransfer link:

Still busy with the vendor. I think at my system that the lvds box is not working. Problem is that there are no schematics for the android screen so you cannot do any measurements on the wiring. But it looks like the original plug which goes into the lvds box doesnt have any output and i think thaths the one who switches the new screen on in comand mode.
So now i am lokking to buy a new lvds box, but i cannot find them cheap anywhere....

Now that does make sense..... Someone earlier in this thread had to fold the cable over to get it to work.

I actually got it to work. It was indeed the LIN cable but this one only had 1 pink cable. Managed to get my suspension to work.

My LVDS was different indeed. It had the NTG 3.0 and NTG 3.5 option. Is your OEM unit 3.0 or 3.5?

Yes mine is 3.0, i think this one is universal for 3.0 till 4.5. If you have the higher ntg you just remove the box and plug into the green plug.
Where did you buy your android radio? I have this one:

i found something, in my car is a device from Caraudiosystems in Germany which is made for looking dvd or tv when you drive. This thing is connected in the Can Bus line of the car. When i install the new android system there is no connection to the car.
The android unit doesn't see when i power up the car. Today i had the same situation when i put the original system back after attempt 5 to put in the new unit. Turns out that the Caraudiosystems device had a loose wire.
Now i am thinking that i first have to remove the device from Caraudiosystems as it sits in the Can line an is the last unit which has an 120 ohm end resistor. That is probably why the new unit doesn't work in the Can line.

I will try it next week as the temperature is below zero and for me to cold to work outside...

Finally i have a picture on the new system, but the next problem is here. The original system gives a picture and i can adjust the heating and everything only the original radio does not work and the cd player doesn't also. I can choose the cd player and it says disk loading but nothing happens.
I think its one of the parameters of the new system but i have to ask the vendor as there is no manual of them with the android.

Unlabeled (1 Pin) like in the picture. That has to be plugged into the factory 3 pin cable coming from the car.
If all that is plugged in correctly then it's something to do with the software settings.
Yes everything is hooked up. I just can't see that little arrow anymore

Can you take a picture of your screen and post it right now?
And a picture of your default screen showing the original factory screen.

Thanks.
