Is your Android Car Radio Draining your Battery? [WATCH THIS]

If you are suffering from having your After market Android radio screen draining your car battery. Watch this to adjust your settings.

The issue is these screens go into sleep mode and continue to drain battery even when the car is switched off.

Watch this video to change the settings on your screen. The location of the settings may differ between different screens but the overall concept is the same.

You are a hero.
I was been told that my android player had gone wrong and power ic needs to be replaced.
But after this video I just disabled sleep mode and wow car started normally in the morning.

Thank you! I had to jump my car 3 times after installing one of these. I don’t understand why this is a default setting. You’re a star.

Thanks so much! I just found this out of nowhere and I immediately did this to mine! It’s an aftermarket touch screen radio for my beetle. It was in sleep mode as well. I thought if I just leave some of the red/orange wires I’ve been hearing about unplugged then that would do the trick! I would have lost so much battery if it wasn’t for u! I hope this will keep it off as it should! I will update!

Genius thanks ! Some android radios have the sleepsetting under developer mode. It's called "keep screen awake while charging"

On my previous old android head unit with 1gb ram and 16gb storage, i set it with sleep mode forever and find it helpfull, so it will directly goes to homescreen when the keys on and even when cars engine start it only blinks a second and goes back to homescreen instead of booting from scratch. And i never had any battery drain issues.

But why now that become an issue ??

The red cable always provides active power in the Android car. I spliced ​​the red and yellow wire together, yours was one. and now everything works. Thank you again.

To really stop the battery draining change the power circuit to the cigarette lighter circuit that’s completely off with the car key when you stop the car. Take the circuit from the fuse box with a piggyback from cigarette lighter fuse to the android unit instead of the harness power

If I disconnect the always on 12v supply to my android head unit, will the unit still work or will it not get any power at all?

Good video however I have a problem with the original head unit on a 2009 pajero when I turn off the ignition the head unit comes back on and the above display just stays on all the time in effect draining the battery any idea what could be causing this..also the cigarette light socket is always live could this be causing the issue..

I have a 2004 Honda accord with a android stereo and it doesn’t go into sleep mode so I have to manually shut it off and kills the battery

mine shows the wrong door opening on the unit. When I open my door, why is that?

Thank you very much! I had purchased the same HU for Skoda Fabia and the touchbutton light was flickering even after locking the car. Even though it has stopped after I tried your recommendation but I am still not sure that this Chinese HU will not drain battery. If i remove the Radio fuse from the internal fuse box, will the problem be solved? I am thinking to remove the fuse for overnight parking and again insert the fuse in morning.

Why 2 wires for +Ve connection -- A7 Red wire through ignition key & A9 yellow wire directly connected to battery - why ??
what happens if we cut the A9 B+ yellow direct battery wire ?
Pl check and confirm.

How do you make the battery voltage appear on the screen? Thanks in advance for your help
