Tag: Reset

Reset button or often is it shortened to RST is mentioned in every android headunit manual. You may see it every day or assumed your android head unit doesn't have one. But it does, just not where you expect it to be.

Some of the advanced features of an android Headunit are protected by a PIN Number. There reasoning behind this is to prevent the tinkerer from changing setting that could cause a problem. The problem? The PIN codes are in the manual and you have either thrown it in the recycling by now or there is no pin code in the manual. The PIN codes protect settings, but also protect the factory settings for a reset. The two PINs can be different numbers, so you may even be searching for two PIN codes.

If you have a non booting android headunit and you want to access recovery menu it can seem like an impossible task. The guides tell you to press volume buttons or tap the the power button, but what if there are no buttons?
