Update

I made a mistake regarding the version of my new MCU. Here are the correct versions.

Android Version: 4.1.1

MCU Version: 4.3.2-7-10-6501

System version: 2.7.28

DVD version 2.13.12.2-860mc

I have ELM327 OBDII's

I don't know what you mean by loader..

All i did was download the 2.7.28 firmware and put the contents of the .zip in the root of a microSD.

Went into the menu's and selected system update.

The radio rebooted and applied the update.. Nothing then worked properly so I rooted the device and extracted the MCU from the /system/etc/mcu. It took me a while choose the right MCU because my previous MCU was 7-10-2501. I removed the system updates from the root of the microSD card and placed the contents of the MCU zip file on the root of the microSD card. Went into the menu's and selected MCU update.. the device started update progress and then rebooted. After that almost everything was like i wanted it except for the launcher.. I found somewhere on this site a .zip file with the launcher I like and I replaced the one that came with 2.7.28 with that.

I was messing around with bluetooth and had to reboot maybe once or twice before I could pair my phone. After I got my phone paired I tried the OBDII and to my surprise it just worked.

Well OBDII is showing in the bluetooth management i got that also wrong in my previous post. :)

The media apps I tried after I saw you post all work just fine. I have never had any problems with accessing the microSD. My guess would be one of two things.. Is it partitioned correctly or you have a wrong MCU installed. I haven't researched how the microsSD is presented to the device so it might be something else than the MCU.

Next on my list is to go over the iptables and make sure that all the crap I have on the device isn't wasting my 3g download. I have a wifi and a 3g dongle attached. I wiresharked the device just a few minutes ago and I haven't properly analized that but my main concern is if there is any unfiltered ipv6 traffic that I should be concerned about after I rooted the device. I've pushed most of the .apk's through virustotal and I have DroidWall installed.

Congrats on the game.. one hell of a game.. there is a surprise in the pics I attached :)

I took the pics on a crappy tablet.. sorry for the quality but you can see the menus, OBDII's and some other fun stuff. See attachment.

Regards,

Stefan

MCU

Hi,

I have the "2 DIN Android 4.1 Autoradio GPS WiFi DVD Bluetooth Doppel Navi Navigation 6,2" unit and I have update the MCU wit 4.2.13-1-10-2101.zip.

Now the volume and seek controller don´t work.

Have someone a correct MCU Version for my unit?

The System Version is 2.7.28.

Thx

Unfortunately, this is also my problem, I do not know exactly what are the correct files for my system.

[MENTION=218404]Stefan[/MENTION]

what have you done with your MCU? I do not quite understand why you have been in system / etc .....

a great picture for the TV function. :)

My system is the TD630A

Ebay auction number is: 261475550254

Does anyone still this radio?

I think this is the same thing that I've found at page 6:

6.2 "Universal Android4.1 TH8685

it would also not break anything. ;)

Yesterday tried yet:

ZTE MF100 - works with root and the ppp widget

ZTE MF190 - works with root and the ppp widget

Huawei K3520 - goes perfectly

Airplay apps - work well

Launcher

Thanks for your reply, what I mean is there any other ways to edit the default launcher that is installed? I mean without installing any other launcher.
[Android Head-Units] delpiero223:
Sadly don't think, that e.g. editing the given shortcuts / widgets is possible with stock launcher. So installing another launcher and using 3rd party widgets there seems to be the only solution when you want to change more than manufacturer wants you to.

Dashlinq4 and SWC

I just ordered a Dashlinq4 for my Toyota Tundra (Toyota Universal). I like that it is a full 7" screen and I don't need the DVD player... those will soon be obsolete. I don't see a separate thread about the Dashlinq4, but I have seen several topics in this thread, since the Dashlinq4 uses the same ARM Chip.

I have a couple questions. I have emailed Will at Innotrends about the SWC controls and being able to use my existing JBL factory system in my Tundra. I haven't heard back from him so thought I'd throw the question(s) out here to see if anyone has the D4 unit installed in their Toyota with JBL system and uses the SWC.

The D4 only has one SWC+ wire, but the Toyota factory wire unit is 4 wires I believe. Does anyone know if the AXXESS ASWC-1 SWC control unit works with the D4? AXXESS makes a SWC for the Android based Parrot Asteroid Smart, so it may work with D4 (http_://axxessinterfaces.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=210). The cool thing is that AXXESS has an Android app that you can use to access your ASWC-1 unit and modify the inputs to your liking...http_://axxessinterfaces.com/blog/category/news/

Anyone have any luck with SWC working with the D4 installed in a Toyota (mine is 2007 Tundra Crew Max). What about using the existing JBL stereo system? Can you use the PAC-TATO or AXXESS TYTO-01 unit for integrating the D4 with the JBL system?

I am just trying to figure out what I need to get the D4 installed correctly with all the working components in my 2007 Tundra.

Thanks for any help or info

MCU

After I updated to 2.7.28 I browsed into the /system/etc/mcu folder and found the matching .zip file for my device [probably needed root].

To apply the MCU you extract the content of the .zip file that matches your device current MCU to the root of a microSD card and go into the system menu and hit mcu update or something like that. The system will apply the update on the microSD and reboot.

My device came with a MCU ending with 7-10-2501 and that didn't exist in the folder noted above. After working up some confidence and alot of googling I decided to use the 7-10-6501 and that worked for me. I read somewhere that those last sequences should always match the MCU that came with the device. So hypothetically if your device has another bluetooth module than mine but everything else the same your version could be 4.3.2-10-10-6501. At least that is my understanding and it worked for me.

My device is perfect now... Didn't even work this well when I first got it. I can have OBDII bluetooth and bluetooth handsfree at the same time.

Sincerely,

Stefan

Well first off Im not familiar with TD630A or even if it is the same as AN-21u. Setting that aside you need know what MCU Version came with your device. I posted a better description a few minutes ago. Check that out. If you still have questions after reading that let me know and I'll see if can assist.

MCU

I've seen some questions regarding the MCU files and where they can be download for those who don't want to root. On the androidstereo.mobile.eu.org site the MCU folder hasn't been updated for a little while. I was thinking if it could be possible to put the MCU files from the 4.1-2.7.28 firmware at least on the site?

I can extract the files and send you a link where you can download them.

I'll quote my post from a few pages back.

I am planning to do a clean install of the latest firmware in the next few weeks though, so will try and grab the system/mcu files at the same time.

Arrrrrgh

and now I have the problem. :(

I have heard today with Poweramp music while turned off the car.

turned on again, came from no more Poweramp Music.

Only when the original player still comes music.

Even when "Folder Player" and "Player Pro" is no sound.

In "Blitzer.de Plus" I had to send the sound to the "speaker" change that I did not have before also.

I have the system now on android-4.2-2.7.26 updated Poweramp reinstalled, but no sound.

Also I still can not access the SD or USB with Pro Player or Folder Player by the update.

MCU I have not upgraded because I was not sure which version.

I also have another problem, which I have not noticed before.

Although the radio detects the Huawei K3520, but I'm not yet to the Internet.

I have the APN entered by Vodafone.de, but the bars are always gray and no internet.

please help me

in the pictures you can see the APN i used and the grey bars.

[Android Head-Units] MFKinSINY:
You need to install a different launcher that allows you to do this.

I use HD Launcher and it allows as many as you need (I'm sure there's a limit but don't know what it is)
[Android Head-Units] booba5185:
Are you using Torque Pro? Have you configured it to use USB? It's not just something you just plug in and it works, it needs to be configured for BT, USB, or Wifi.
[Android Head-Units] Mikki_32:
Yes I`m running Torque Pro and have configured it to use USB.
[Android Head-Units] booba5185:
Did you go back to select the USB device inside Torque Pro and it saw it? You said it just keep looking, I don't know if you mean searching for USB or trying to connect to OBD.
[Android Head-Units] Mikki_32:
Oh, sorry.

I configured Torque to use USB. Then I closed it and plugged the usb cable. Next my headunit asks if I want open Torque automatically every time when this cable is connected. Pressed yes and it launched Torque Pro.

Then in Torque menu called "adapter status", it says that no obd adapter found (and keeps searching).
[Android Head-Units] booba5185:
Go back into setting where you told it to use USB, scroll all the way down and tap USB device. From there you can select the OBDlink and then try again.
[Android Head-Units] Mikki_32:
Already did that and it says: "No recognised devices detected. Quit Torque and reconnect USB device to re-detect." In the usb connection info it says that I need device which support usb host mode and I need special micro usb host cable. I believe that AN-12 U supports usb host mode and that micro usb cable is mostly for phones. Right?

Glad to help, I don't know of a way get internet access outside of those 2 routes. OBDLink has served a purpose though, it told you Torque Pro was the problem. You can e-mail Ian and he'll help you. When I first got the setup all of the PIDs would jump around giving false info every so often. My transmission temp would drop to -40*F, knock retard would jump to 8.5* when the engine was off, etc. I emailed him and never got a response, so I left a review in the Google Play store saying I had problems. Then he e-mailed me and had everything fixed within a few days.

Hi to all

I did the above procedure like Stefan and YES it’s amazing my unit can pair both the ELM 327 OBDII scanner (a cheap Chinese clone of 6 $) and my phone.:good:

Everything works like a charm video, TV, radio, music ESexplorer, iGO, Sygic, Equalizer.

Thank you my man, you are the best. I have read more than 200 pages here and you gave the solution.;)

The bad story is that I waste 50$ because I have ordered and I am waiting for an OBDLink SX Scan Tool USB.

My next step is to change the launcher because I don’t like this and everything would be OK.

Thank you very much Stefan.

Sincerely,

Panagiotis

I can say this doesn't work on the single knob version. I had the 2101 MCU and installed the 6501 MCU, it saw my BT adapter once, then never again. Even after I reverted to 2101. On top of that, it killed my volume knob. At least the volume knob came back with the old MCU. Maybe a future version will enable BT OBD II for my unit.

version

Hi,

I really cant say what version. Maybe the pics help that I posted in this post? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54012764&postcount=4280

At least that shows the faceplate and if it is different. What faceplate is on your device?

What was your original MCU version that came with the unit?

Stefan

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

Well you have a very similar faceplate as I. I would try 4.3.2-1-10-6101 or 4.3.2-1-10-6501 if everything else other than seek and volume works. Off course at your own risk. If you know what MCU worked before 4.2.13-1-10-2101.zip you should find a MCU version that matches that in the last three sequences e.g. <version>-1-10-6501.zip

My original was <version>-7-10-2501 and since 2.7.28 didn't come with a MCU with 7-10-2501 I tried 7-10-6501. My bet would be then -6101 for you or just the -2101.

Stefan

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

What is your working MCU's full version? The 2.7.28 firmware comes with 4 MCU's for 2101. My guess would be that if your working MCU is <version>-1-10-2101 then I would try 4.3.2-1-10-2101. Make sure that those digit's in bold don't change from the MCU that is working for you. Also remember that for my bluetooth to work properly I had to do a few reboots. First I couldn't see the OBDII in the list but after one or two reboot I finally saw it.

MCU's provided in the 2.7.28 firmware in the /system/etc/mcu folder.

* 4.3.2-1-10-2101.zip

* 4.3.2-1-20-2101.zip

* 4.3.2-1-30-2101.zip

* 4.3.2-1-40-2101.zip

My original was <version>-7-10-2501 and since 2.7.28 didn't come with a MCU with 7-10-2501 I tried 7-10-6501. My bet would be then -6101 for you or just the -2101. At your own risk.

From what I read on this site the place in the MCU where "1" is tells what bluetooth you have. Mine has "7" at that location so that might mean that I we have different bluetooth hardware. It would be interesting of someone with more knowledge of the MCU's could confirm that because I know very little about the MCU's.
