PIN CODES for an Android Headunit

A PIN or passcode number protects some of the advanced features of an Android Headunit.

There reasoning behind this is to prevent the tinkerer from changing settings that could cause a problem, such as a non-functional head unit. This leads to unnecessary vendor contact (time wasting), and in the event of no contact, then unwarranted poor reviews are often unfairly left. Protecting the advanced features from accidental changes keeps the headunit functioning well for longer.

The problem?

These PIN codes are usually in the manual, and you have either thrown it in the recycling by now, or there is no password code in the manual 🙁 These Android head unit passcodes protect the advanced settings, the boot logo changes, the factory settings for a reset, and the Developer Options have passwords.

These settings’ passwords can be different numbers for each use. You may even search for more than one head unit password, depending on what you need to change.


Hidden Menu Password

The Android head unit PIN code is also known as the Hidden Menu password, Advanced Settings Password, Factory Reset Kode, Android head unit factory settings password, Android 10 head unit passcode, or boot logo password.

Whichever name it goes under, the secret Android headunit code you need to dig deeper into its settings will be in the list below. Just use the not-so-secret code cautiously, as changing the settings can easily make thin not work. It may surprise you, but the setting has already been optimized for the installed hardware, and making changes may not bring the expected improvements.

Recycle PIN codes

Luckily the manufacturers tend to reuse the codes, and unlike a real PIN code, they are not secret. But finding the one you need to unlock the extra ‘Password Protected’ Android headunit feature is frustratingly elusive. Not all PINs are 4 digits, but if yours only accepts a 4-digit PIN, it will help narrow down the possibilities for you.

PIN numbers shared

We have a list of PIN codes on a battered piece of paper, and we thought it would be useful to share them with you in a more modern, digital way.

The Android Headunit PIN numbers can be for settings (advanced) or factory reset.

Android 10 Branded Headunit Code

PIN numbers for password-protected areas on Chinese Android Headunits for various manufacturers, including the Topway TS10 & TS7, Mekede, A-Media Auto, ESSgoo, Vanku, Eincar, Camecho, Xtrons, Yoyx, Eonon, Hizpo, HiKity, iAuch, Dasaita, Yuntx, Aotsr, Nhopeew, EZoneTronics, Lexxson, Eunavi, Autosion and Amaseaudio android based head units, including many, if not all of Unbranded no-name China made Android 10 head units out there.


Pumpkin Only

Pumpkins have an additional list of Android head unit passwords here (Pumpkin Only) that would be worth trying if yours is a pumpkin brand, as that list is much shorter.


Passwords

If you need the ‘android head unit factory settings password’ or the ‘Kode factory reset head unit android’ or possibly you need the ‘android 10 head unit factory settings password’, or you could need the ‘PX6 factory settings password’, then it is going to appear in the list above.

Manufacturers will add passwords as manufacturers produce new versions of their Android car stereos. We will update the list as the passwords become available, so be sure to check back if you were recently unsuccessful in finding the unlock code.

Developer Password (when the list fails you)

Some developer passwords on Android Headunits are a rolling code. These codes do not sty the same and are not suited to lists of passcodes because they are easy to crack if you know the trick.

You must set your clock to the correct time to beat the changing developer PIN code. This makes for an easier bypass, but don’t worry if the clock is incorrect.

The secret, rolling developer options passcode is 7890 plus the hour of the time on the clock.

Setting the clock to the correct time first can help because that time (hours: minutes) will match the time on your phone. So look at your phone for the time, say, 12:00 midday. Then use the code 789012 for developer options. If the time is 18:00 on your headunit, the dev code will be 789018.

See how a list may work, but it’s much easier to do the 7890 + hour trick to get the developer code you need to unlock the extra Android settings of your headunit.
