[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
I have a 3G dongle as well. Worked instantly once I removed the sim pincode, without even installing Mobile Network Settings app.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] swanie2000:
Agreed, I was disappointed on this new ROM with this screen as the main boot. At least you can go into factory settings, and change to a custom picture so you only have to look at this screen for a few seconds before the custom logo appears.

Still, I find it embarrassing to have all this Chinese jibbersh on the screen in my American car. I really do miss the ANDROID boot screen.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Brendo:
Pretty sure the startup splash screen is in one of the android partitions or boot.img

Would need to decompile, change, recompile
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] roytibi:

RCA outs

Quick question, do the RCA outs in this units are usually amplified and we need a hi-lo converter or these are pre-outs that can feed for instance an amplifier for a sub directly? cant find any mention anywhere.

Thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
I put the sim card in my phone, it asked for a code so I knew it was pin protected. Then I went to the phone settings on the phone, disabled the pincode, and put the sim card back into the dongle. :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pinotuning:
ok thanks , but in FileMirror have not found original firmware with partition data to 3 gigabytes !

I need this firmware original KLD_RK3066_4.4.4_800x480_2015-05-22

with internal memory of 3 gigabytes !

thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Navall_75:
I did indeed try 1.86 MCU with KK 4.4.4 20150521 and it solved the illumination issue but not the 3G issue, Here is a pic of the 3G issue. As you can see I have signal but Spotify is telling me I have no connection. The unit is a BMW unit but installed in a Rover 75.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] veget83:
I have found the "horrible" splash screen in directory: /mnt/oem/ default logo

I replace with another image but the Chinese splash image remain...

Maybe need to flash a boot.img....

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I m sorry but thats a bit of a silly question (probably why you cant find any mention of it anywhere) - of course the RCAs arent amplified, the whole point of them is for connecting the HU to an amplifier (this applies to all HUs, Android or not). Hi-Lo converters are for use on HUs that do not have RCA outputs, so you wont find one that takes an RCA output and converts it from a high signal then outputs it as a low signal RCA output, because, as I already mentioned, their output is already low, if you could get one that did this you would end up either with a signal too low for the amplifier or a signal that came out at the same level it went in, ie low.

Any ROM on the fileserver from the last 5 months is a DSA ROM that has been tweaked with a bigger data partition and various other small mods.

(BTW you DO NOT have to put a KLD ROM on your KLD, you can put any ROM you like it - JY, KLD or KGL (as long as it has the correct screen res and processor type for your unit).

Crash

Hi,

I downloaded and tried the radio you have created: MTCRadio_OEM_RallySkin.apk. I really like the look and functionality. The problem for me is that is crashes constantly. Installed it on a GA2114 with updateKLD800x480KK4.4.4.rk3188.150709.part2.rar firmware.

Regards
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pinotuning:
thanks my friend

Now I'll explain!

I had an original firmware (I do not need custom rom)

my original firmware was: KLD_RK3066_4.4.4_800x480_2015-02-02

I found on Filemirror the same firmware but with root permissions and partition 3 gigabytes, I installed and everything worked, but this firmware is unstable and often have to restore everything ...

Now I installed this: KLD_RK3066_4.4.4_800x480_2015-05-22

works fine but I have little memory (1 gigabyte)

I need new partition 3 gigabytes (as in firmware 02/02/2015)

there is this original firmware with internal partition to 3 gigabytes? no custom firmware

there is an update to increase the internal memory to 3 gigabytes?

Hello Everybody,

So I just got a Eonon GA5153v HU I have two problems with it One it would not connect to my IPhone 6+ wifi hotspot just said connected but the wifi bars were empty and no internet but I could connect with my S4 hotspot and also could connect to my home wifi some help with that would be awesome but now the number 2 problem the unit worked for about one hour then would not boot-up just a beep and a black screen.

I can not post links yet are I would have post the ebay page that displays the HU

Thanks for the help
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] gguevara:
Thanks typos1,

My replacement unit is on its way. Should be here in about 4 days. I will now have a KLD rk3188 kk4.4.4 (6.2 inch 800x480 universal model). I have been reading alot about overheating (it can get hot here in NYC summers). And I suspected heat it what caused my brand new unit to fail so quickly.

I see folks posting about heatsinks directly on the chips, and cooling fans on the back chassis. But they do not mention the parts they used. Can someone please let me know which heatsinks and fans to order. I want to make sure I get the correct parts and order them now, before the unit arrives. This way I can just start working on it once it arrives. I even saw a guy on youtube who attached a mini sized fan directly on the rk3188 chip itself (but this was for those androidtv gadgets).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

gg
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
I have the same issue, sometimes it works sometimes I need to fiddle. For me the hotspot on an iPhone works best if the unit is shut down completely, I have the hotspot settings open on the phone, and then turn the ignition key. Make sure that the phone stays unlocked until the hu has Wi-Fi. Sometimes it connects automatically and sometimes I need to connect manually.

I personally think this is an Apple problem.

Ah another Rover 75 :D Me too! Did you get the Navall or the Joyous version? I have the Joyous one with 2.59 MCU and both illumination and 3g work flawless. It could be that you have to set the APN of your provider manually and in the OP there's a link to the cellular network settings app (otherwise two or three pages back).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Navall_75:
It is the Navall 2 from Radioguy on the 75andztclub forum, I will look for the APN guide and see if that works. Not sure if it will as sometimes it does work other times it doesn't

Latest RK3188 1024 x 600 Malayska firmware?

Hi Guys

I should hopefully receive my Joyous RK3188 1024 x 600 HU tomorrow - very exited. (It will be replacing a 2.3 Android HU which I have now had for 2 years in my VW Amarok)

Am I correct that Malaysk's latest firmware for the RK3188 1024 x 600 is the 7 July - version? It seems that the 26 July version was only released fro the RK3066?

Thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
Ah ok, I needed to saw some bits and pieces off from the unit to make it fit :p

I got my 3G card just two days ago so I may still need to experience issues...

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Probably because that skin is over a year old and is a modded version of the 4.2.2 radio app and we're on 4.4.4 now.

Simple answer - no, what you are looking for does not exist. Try another ROM from the fileserver - no one has has reported any are unstable.

What unit do you have ? (Eonon is just a seller, look in settings/about device to see what unit you have).

The Navall is a KGL, Navall just imported KGLs and sold them on.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] tylerwatt12:
Hey everyone, I have a BN/HA unit. I'm getting random loud pops whenever i use an app that utilizes audio, even if i mute the volume on the unit. The pops occur completely randomly, it could be 2 pops in 1 second, or 2 pops between 5 minutes. Usually never more than 5 minutes though.

Has this happened to anyone?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Navall_75:
I had to cut some small parts from the centre console opening and file a small amount from the screw mounts on the stereo, I am hoping to upgrade to the Navall 3 and see if that works any better.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] gazdaaa:
If your headunit boots fine with key in ignition, then you have to adjust can bus settings un Factory settings, mine is on canbus-simple.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] OneCheekyDevil:
I own a BN unit and don't have this issue. Currently running the latest ROM but not the custom MCU with the long sleep timers.

Try a different ROM or MCU to determine what is causing the pops.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
Ah I thought they were already adjusted for that. You're not using any canbus decoder, are you?

Hi, I am running malaysks mod and using poweramp which I have bought the licence for, but when I now boot up it tells me that it is unlicensed. Anyone had/solved this?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Navall_75:
No need for a canbus decoder so not using one, they do fit but just need a little tweak to make them go all the way in. Like many aftermarket parts that are made to fit they often need a bit of fettling to make them fully fit much like pattern part body panels.

APN fix didn't work BTW so still stuck on the 3G issue, I have tethered my phone so can access the internet through that problem is my data package is better on the 3G dongle than it is on my phone.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] slackmartian:
I was in the same boat. Some car parts dealer wanted me to buy the original iso cable for the car stereo in my 2005 x-trail. It was really high priced and came with a swc module that they claimed I needed. Well after looking at the wires and connecting them it worked right out of the box.

If in doubt just wait until you see the connectors or ask the people installing, save you some cash there... In any case it should be easy peasy to add module if needed.

For me there where four wires: positive, ground, and two signal wires. Probably different for you but maybe it will give you some clues.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] DiGi91:
Thanks for the reply. I pulled the trigger on the Quad core "vehicle specific" model just now. I also purchased the PAC-CP5 from Amazon just in case I end up needing it, if not I will return it.

Just want to say thx to everyone for the help [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] [MENTION=434511]agentdr8[/MENTION], and for the massive data bank of info in this thread.

Im now running Malaysk's rom, and have everything running sweet.

Have a small issue with the remap of the AMS button, sometimes it will boot the BT as I want it to, other times it does nothing (this is better than clearing my radio presets like it used to), If anyone knows why please help.

Found a way around the widget on the main screen, I just added widgets for poweramp, weather and clock to the second screen (gives the appearance of the home screen)

Im now running Sygic 14.7.3, I installed 14.7.3 then deleted the Sygic folder and replaced it with the 14.3.3. and downloaded the 2015 maps and copied them into the map file. This gave me the framework(look and function) of 14.7.3 but it is stable like 14.3.3 and works well on Android 4.4.4, I then downloaded a firewall app and blocked Sygic from internet access so it won't try and connect to the play store and try to update anything. It is running great now.

I used Awesome Icons app to make a custom Icons theme to get it to look aesthetically pleasing to my eye :D

I'm using MX Player for my video files as it's much more user friendly than the oem app which never wanted to admit I had a media SD card as well as a GPS one and would only ever show the GPS card.

I have Daily Voyager set to early boot with exposed framework and then set it to auto record in app, its working a treat and records whenever the unit is booted.

I ordered a DVB-T card to install, ordered a RK3188 2/16gb card while I was there (never realized there was other options other than 3066 when I got the unit), also have a external mic on the way that replaces the OEM one in my VW so it will sit up in the interior light position like the OEM and will do the internal/external mic mod when it gets here.

Done a whole heap of other little tweaks to the unit to suit my liking and am really happy with it now.

One thing I could not get to work was making the status bar transparent, tried a few different apps but none would work, does anyone know how to do this?

Thx again for all the help.... :good:
