coudu removed it from the OEM app on his version, I can re-flash another version, but not sure if I ll be able to put a copy of Torque that came with the unit onto an SD card as the non coudu version isnt rooted.

Yes, another person confirmed this earlier, it doesnt show station name its shows scrolling track info etc on the preset button, not sure why or how to sort it other than using agentdr8's preset solution.

I posted an edited picture of the one peti007 posted 2 pages back, I ve arrowed the 2 CAN Bus wires, they are blue and grey, on mine I have to blank holes as mine did not come with a CAN Bus box. I am in the same position as you - no need for a CAN Bus box, but want to see if I can get data from the HU on the car and vice versa.

Youre also right about coudu not removing Torque in the OEM app, have installed it, makes no difference STILL I only get the OBD toggle widget.

I have tried it quickly with a setting for my car manufacturer, but as the wires are not there in my connector I had to poke them in and I dont think they made a connection. I think the setting for my manufacturer will not work a it is for newer cars, but I will try again when I ve properly inserted the wires into the connector, I will also try the settings for another manufacturer owned by the same company that owns the one that makes my car, then I will try them all if not luck !

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] OneCheekyDevil:
Guys,

Since i bought my unit, i had everything working. Then i decided to flash a different ROM on it, and now my front buttons dont work at all. I tried multiple ROMS and no go. I even tried flashing different MCUs hoping to get it going, still no go.

Then i stupidly flashed the MCU1 v1.86 and now i cant get it to boot up or navigate the recovery menu.

Is there any way i can force navigation of the recovery menu, or force it to flash whatever MCU i have on the USB stick plugged in?

Any ideas on this? I didn't set a default launcher and when it rebooted, I'm stuck at this screen.

I can't get into recovery, as I'm still getting a black screen

No, but its fairly standard stuff, same for any headunit really, connect the camera via composite in for the backup cam, use the reverse in wire to trigger it. Does your car have CAN Bus ?

Did you happen to flash an MCU image from a different manufacturer? If so, that would lead to a brick, which there is a brick recovery procedure on the first post for one specific mfg type (can't recall at the moment).

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

Google Now can do that I think. "OK Google. Call John Smith"

The problem you'll run into is it probably only works with on-device dialers (or devices with their own RIL), not this hybrid MCU-controlled BT dialer.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] mikochu:
Anyone running coudu's v4 4.4.4 firmware having any issues?

I am running into two issues. After setting up my head unit, both Spotify and ES File Explorer don't open. I get multiple "Unfortunately, <Application> has stopped." messages when I try to run either of the applications. I did some research and some people have had issues with Spotify and external memory. However, I have removed anything Spotify, redownloaded it, and it still gives me errors. During my lunch break, I reinstalled 4.4.4 and everything seemed to be working. I rebooted using Link2SD (just because it had reboot shortcuts) and then it started happening again for both applications. When I have time, I'm going to try to reinstall coudu's v3 4.4.2 image and see if the issue is replicated. I don't remember having the problem prior to 4.4.4. Also, I'm running a Klyde with MCU 2.12.

Anyway, any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

I just pushed a new beta of XposedMTC to the repo. The volume OSD override now restores the foreground app title after a few seconds.

Also, I migrated the project from Eclipse ADT to Android Studio, so if you encounter any problems, please let me know. Still trying to figure out this new gradle build system.

I installed SDfix and Foldermount, it's now a little bit better, just Spotify it's sometimes still crashing.

External Bluetooth

[MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION], [MENTION=290760]dnts[/MENTION]

I hope you guys dont mind if i ask, I am planing on adding an external mic to my unit JY (Jouyous), the internal mic is useless for making phone calls but its ok for google search.

After reading both of your post, i came to the conclusion that i need to connect a female 3.5mm jack to the back of my unit.

run the 2 wires from the connector to the BT board (BT module). black with black and white with white from the internal mic.

Parallel connection with internal mic? am i correct

Bluetooth chip:

I had the same error with es file explorer from the play store, the app crashed and stuck on black screen, i had to press the power botton few times to get my unit back, i was driving and on the side corner of my eye i notice a "gold android in a circle" booting up as bootanimation. that was the first ever seeing something like that. finally get my screen back on. I have Toyota as my bootanimation by the way.

I opened the es file explorer app second time and it opened up just fine. I am most likely going back to 4.4.2 until all the bugs are ironed out.

I dont have Spotify so i cant comment on it.

I wish I read your post before I went ahead and reinstalled 4.4.2. coudu's v3 feels much more stable than v4. I actually like 4.4.2's Bluetooth app as it handles DPI changes better. I thought the Bluetooth app in 4.4.4 was a step back, design wise. I'm sure I could have sideloaded the one I liked more, but I'm going to stick with 4.4.2 for a bit.

You need to go to Settings - Memory - Nand memory - Clear all DATA or Settings to reset to factory settings. This is due to the different sizes of the sections on different firmware. Sorry for my english, I'm from Russia Forum.

Hello guys,

I recently purchased ES9401A with android 4.2.2, mtcb-kgl4-v2.01 for my Skoda Octavia vRS before facelift, year 2008. Reading this thread i have come across that some of you have door status displayed on HU. My car symbol appears from time to time but for very short period of time and without symbol for opened door. Furthermore, when i change to audio on my MFD, my wiper stalk buttons act as station change (i do not have SWC installed on my car) and to change back to MFD i have to turn off the radio as the same buttons are used for station changing. Also, i have lost climatronic display on my HU which i had on my original Stream mp3 radio but i am planning to change climatronic control panel with the one from FL model to regain it. Sound is very good, much stronger then OEM radio. Wifi works, but low range. BT works with Torque pro application but not with Carista application which is also important to me.

I would appreciate any comment on this. Thanks.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pakidermo5000:
Similar issue here.

I first installed 4.4.4 and everything seemed to work properly. Then, recovered all apps with Titanium and ES explorer started to " unfortunately stop" . I could solve it by clearing the data of the app. However, after playing with it for a while it would stop again.

Finally, after mounting a USB some times the unit would crash and bootloop every time I inserted the USB stick.

I am gonna try to delete/erase/format all data of the nand memory as suggested by [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION], and/or set installation directory to externalSD (@dsa8310), since I had a similar problem with [MENTION=853627]coudu[/MENTION]'s 4.4.2 which was solved by doing that.

So far 4.4.4 seems much better/faster to me than the previous versions. Everything is more smooth, boot up is much faster because there is no lag with the GPS positioning. Radio is more stable too and RDS works better.

I am happy so far with it. If I cannot get it to work, I will flash the regular 4.4.4. And see.

Thanks a lot guys for all your efforts.

i would love the same unit but without hardware buttons
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ultradj83:
Dear, about the presets on MTCRadio I think your XposedMTC is doing the job, I'll confirm after several reboots.

Actually the 800x480 4.4.4 works great, there're just a few little difficulties:

Some apps (Spotify, ES File Explorer, Google Search and a few others) crash at launch. Thinking to the usual Kitkat's sdcards write permission issue I patched it with TWRP Manager (it works like SDfix) but, being not enough, I installed Foldermount: now, I just need Foldermount to start on boot there're no more crashes, or just rare crashes. I think this is only a workaround, not a serious solution, it's it's not comfortable.

My Back button still acts as GPS button. How to remap?

Radio, DVB-T and DVD don't follow audio focus, so when TTS speaks it's hard to be heard. Any way to apply focus or to temporarly lower volume on TTS or notifications?

3G/4G: I've been doing some tests and I found a tenth of compatible 3G dongles, but no 4G models. I'll try to start a survey on this 3d if possible.

Thanks a lot for your time and your precious help.

xposed installaton tips?

Hello!

I have this unit for my toyta auris with manufactures orifinal fascia adapter for toyota navigators.

erisin es9603a no links allowed (could some one remove the limit, im not spammer..)

So far im very statisftied and impressed, for the price and "chinece" product very good!

-i rooted the unit, instelled tomtom and poweramp and carservice.

-Installed cpu tuner to force the system run at full speed, it seems to make overall responsiveness litte better also makes loading times little shorter.

-Still need to update the radio software to more modern 4.4 version apk.

-dvb module is not very usable, controls are bad and need to posetion antenna better to get better picture, but in emergency tv works reasonable wel..

Couple questions:

- still need to instal xposed framework, could someone give some tips how to do it, i dont want to brick this thing. Howto make it safe? Should it install flawesly?

-It seems that navigation igo primo volume could be louder, even i have gps switch activated, i need to make volume louder to hear navigation instructions. can i do something? Havent tried tomtom yet.

-I have no micro usb port on front, there is just plastic "plug" could it be under it etc?

-I installed external mic (ready connector) i have no tested quality yet, but should i make so mod as I dont need internal microphone to make sound better?

-What recovery actions i should to, how i should backup the system to easily recover it incase some problem comes, how i can use recover with no usb micro port?

Mayby i will update 4.4 later when it is more stable with no problems

Big thanks for this forum and all of you who have give good tips etc. and made some utility software, great job!:good::good:

Do you need to remove / replace the old application?

Thanks, Jukka
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
You could replace FolderMount with a bash script that does the mounting and place it in /system/etc/init.d

This is usually a MCU image issue. I don't recall what type of headunit you have, but the KGLs have multiple variations of MCU images, which have different keybindings and canbus support for different vehicles. Sometimes it gets changed if you flash a newer MCU image, so you might try going back to the previous MCU version you had.

---------- Post added at 06:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------

You should definitely remove or replace the existing MTCRadio.apk if you plan on replacing it. The hard button should still function the same, as the package name of the modified apks is the same as the stock one.

Hi,

I updated my KGL unit from 1.77 (Android 4.2) to the KitKat version modified by agentdr8. Thank you for your version.

Most things seem to work fine but I could not find a way to fix some problems. I noticed following issues:

1) RDS is not working. I checked RDS in factory settings, some new buttons appeared in the radio app but I still don't see station names.

2) Screen flickers. It somehow dims and then brightens again when using it.

3) GPS button doesn't work. Can I somehow connect it to iGo (or other navigation) which I installed myself?

4) I can not change logo. I went to Factory settings and switched the logo to Opel. But still I have an Android logo during booting. But this is just a cosmetic issue.

xposedMTC

Agentdr8- I have a GS unit with GS 2.09mcu installed and the KD 4.4.4 KK from Condu installed. I also installed your Xposed Framework, and the xposedMTC. I had the MTC that you had on your website before the above update, so it had volume osd, just didn't restore the app title yet. I had everything working, except when I used backview, it would only goto a black screen. I would have to clear the app by hitting the back button 2-3x to exit out of it. When I installed the backup cam, I did make sure to give the camera 12v dc at all times the car key is turned on. I was ok with everything since the backview was the only thing I could see not working so far. Yesterday I was driving and I noticed the screen was black, but the music was still playing and the headunit knob/button lights were still lighted. I tried hitting the back button and several other buttons on the outside of the unit to get the screen to turn on. Nothing happened. I then had to hit the reset button a few times and still nothing. So I turned the car off for 5 mins, and tried again. After a few moments, it the unit booted up, but started at the android logo screen where you can put a car logo. It skipped the "Kit Kat 4.4" screen that usually displays quickly before the illuminating android screen. So I flipped the car into reverse and the screen went black again. Since backview was installed with MTC and was doing the same thing, I got the unit to come back on, and uninstalled MTC and Framework. This resolved my issue and now the backup cam and the unit is working correctly again. Something in Framework or the xposedmtc caused my unit to goto a black screen, and I think it had something to do with the backup camera or backview portion of MTC. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Also, is there a way to build into the MTC program the ability to broadcast video to the dual video out's (head rest monitors) without using the DVD application? I know this has been asked before and it was discovered that the DVD app used the MCU to push the video signal to all video outs and the screen itself. I figured if you were able to get backview to work with MCU/Android, can you make this work too?

Backview, the ability to watch videos on all monitors without inserting a DVD, and everything else you've added to MTC is exactly what I want in a android HU.

Thanks for all the work you've done!
