Thats one way of doing it, but you can usually buy 2 types of box for Bose equipped cars, one that connects to the RCAs and one that connects to the speaker wires and contains ahigh/low converter. Id recommend the high/low converter because it sound better than using the RCAs, even though it should sound better using the RCAs, this is probably cos Bose amps are usually designed to work with high/low converters - the factory headunit most probably has one built in. A quick google and I found one example of each :

Disappointments for 4.4

KDL launcher was horrible. KGL's actually looks pretty nice.

Users is removed from settings not allowing multi users. I found some hacks to get the multiuser started on the 3066 with 4.4 though I will work on that.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Isn't this the default behavior if you have the illumination wire connected? When running/headlights are turned on, the headunit goes dim, and when off, the headunit goes bright.

Pairing to OBD adapters isn't the issue, it's that none of the Android apps (Torque being one example) can see the BC6 adapter nor any of the devices that are paired to it. The MTC Bluetooth app communicates with the BC6 via serial commands, which isn't how Android normally communicates with BT adapters.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I m no expert but I think someone needs to look at the differences between BT on the 4.2 and 4.4 versions and then modify 4.4 so BT is set up the same as 4.2.

It may be a lot of work and it seems that the people with the most expertise in this area are not particularly bothered by BT not working with OBD (thats NOT a dig at all, just saying) so its not something that is a priority for them.

Yes, that's default behaviour and it's working BUT "not enough", during day I would like to have something like 85-90% of max brightness, and during the night (when I switch my headlights on), I would like to have something like <20% of max brightness).

I was told by Eonon that "I could realize the steering wheel control function via SW1, SW2 wires instead of canbus." Does that mean I don't need an extra adapter?

2. I asked Eonon if the unit will work with this OBD adaptor -sorry, link removed . They said no. My question is if the head unit has inbuilt bluetooth, why wouldn't the OBD adaptor be able to talk to it?

Huawei E3276 - how to make it work?

Any idea how to make Huawei E3276 4G dongle to work with Huifei?

I know that 4G doesn't mean anything here, huifei is 3G. I'm ok with that, I just happen to have this dongle and would like to use it with my Huifei.

It's working fine with laptop(s) but Huifei won't recognize it. Is it because it's 4G dongle and due to that it has some hardware/firmware incompatibility problems?

Should I just get another (3G) dongle and call it a day?

search for RK flash tools (RKBatchTool, RKDevelopTool etc...) on the net and how to use it. If your unit is seen by your pc using those tools then you might have a chance to save it.

If your car has CAN Bus it may or may not have CAN Bus activated steering wheel controls, you need to find out (did a quick google and it seems hybrid 2008> models have resistive SWC and non hybrid 2008> models have CAN Bus SWC, but check yourself, it may differ depending on market). If you do have CAN Bus you need an adaptor. AFAIK the adapter should convert the CAN Bus signals to analogue so the head unit can understand them, using the key1 and key2 wires.

4.2 works with bluetooth OBD, 4.4 does not. Why would you want a bluetooth OBD adapter though ? Youre not going to take out your stereo and walk about with it 10m from the car, so bluetooth OBD is pointless in my opinion, I d get a USB to OBD lead, its faster and more secure, plus your ll be able to use it with 4.4.

I can't say anything about the muffled sound since I don't have the high-low converter to compare it with. It is true, that the radio app has a bit to much bass and you can't realy do much about it with the 3 way equalizer, but poweramp sounds great becaues you can fine tune the sound.

KGL 7061 - BT ODB Pairing

Hi again ;

Just to report the latest situation i am in :

- I did not have any problems with discovering/pairing bt odb2 adapter when on 4.2ç.2 ( FW 2.02/MCU 1.86/Kernel 177)

- I upgraded to 4.4.2 ( KGL_KitKat_800x480_141030_rooted_light_reparted_init.d_v3 )..Everything still was ok even with bluetooth ( with an exception of BT ODB2 discovery/pairing) and there are many users with the same problem.

- I downgraded to my original config 4.2.2 (FW 2.02/MCU 1.86/Kernel 177)...The BT sw discovers the ODB2 but does not pair.

- I tried xposedMTC , no solution.

-Tried several MCUs , no solution.

-I do not have bt discovery/pairing with my smartphone.

I will try an ext usb bluetooth adapter ( compatible with linux) and update the forum about...

Can someone guide me on how ?

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

I m afraid not - on both 4.2 and 4.4 the Klyde launchers are built into the launcher, theyre not separate like the KGL. A solution which I ve been meaning to try (but havent yet) would be to modify the KGL widgets using the xml from the KLD widgets, so you end up with KGL widgets that look and behave like KLD ones.

By the way, one thing I ve noticed with KGL 4.4 is that when you touch the radio or music widgets it doesnt take you to the full radio or music app, on 4.2 it did, anyone else get this ?

HUIFEI/KLG 4.4.2 + MCU 2.09= NO CANBUS (door opening, radio station on cluster)

Hi guys and gals, my first post here.

I have been doing my good share of reading. I bought a KGL 3 months ago and it came with JB 4.2.2 and v2.01. I was able to see door opening on the unit and also get the frequency of the radio station on the cluster of my Passat B6. One day, without any software changes or hardware changes those 2 things never worked again.

When I saw the new KK 4.4.2 available I had to install it. I also upgraded the MCU to 2.09 hoping that this would solve the problem. Well, it did not.

-I have tried since *every* single MCU available and nothing. (I am now on 1.77)

-I have tried the "rude" option on the Factory Settings.

-I have tried unplugging the whole unit and CANBUS.

-I have tried freezing the CANBUS.apk and unfreezing.

And nothing helps! :confused:
