[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
darkleo decompiled the MCU last year some time. He stated it was mostly Intel ASM.

XposedMTC can help with the screen dimming. If you have the illumination wire hooked up, and your headlights are on, the button leds will be on. XposedMTC can override the brightness of the screen in this condition if it isn't within the defined "dimming period". That way you can keep the backlight to say 100%, even with headlights on during the daylight hours (or whenever the inverse of the dimming period would be).

Xposed is just a framework. People can choose to use it for whatever purpose they want. With great power comes great responsibility

Hm.... Per device oder per user?

If i purchase licence and use software on my smartphone, than I change my phone and you tell me that I have to buy another license?

I do not think so, because when you install Sygic on new device you have option to restore or manage your purchases. That means that you can transfer your licence to another device. You can see it on sygic site http://help.sygic.com/hc/en-us/articles/201811106-How-do-I-transfer-my-Sygic-purchase-to-a-new-device- I have try that, and I have contacted support but no success because of universal IMEI code on ours devices. You can install IMEI changer and you can see by yourself that IMEI code is 0123456789123. That's the problem, not 20 euro to pay. And when you have paid for, you do not get support ;)

I did not crack or patch something, or share my IMEI number with others that all can use Sygic for free. I have only find solution how to make it work on RK devices and I have share my experience with others while I'm not selfish.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] i.draskovic:
I did not know that, but I have try it right now. I have activated my android tablet with same licence code and it works on my phone and my tablet.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] i.draskovic:
It make sense only when it is licensed per user, and no per device.

You should apologize yourself because I'm not cracker and I do not share tips how to crack or use illegal software. I have share my experience how to run software on RK devices, and not how to crack. ;)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] zorantoma:
yes you can. i have one license on two devices. the license is bound to your mail. sygic scans for imei on start(you can set any imei as long as you are loged in with the same gmail(up to 5 devices)) if it find's the imei it starts. if it doesnt it closes it self.Imei is just for securety,that sygic runs on a phone.

That is what sygic suport told me.

people making roms

Why is everyone removing the japanese and chinese keyboards? Some of us live in japan, and the google japanese keyboard is really horrible. I tried out the Malaysk's roms on a GS. It was horrible until google updated, after that, close to perfection. Just missing a keyboard I can type in now...

Guys, what version of Viper4Android are you guys using?

I experience the following problem with the latest version (v2.3.4.0) there are trimes (1 out of 4 at least) when it starts but it is not working as if it is not enabled.... the moment i select the app everything is working again (good sound is enabled again)

According to the O/H, she had been changing CD's fairly frequently for the couple of weeks prior, listening to old collections instead of Spotify.

As several of the other front buttons have also changed function (SRC doing nothing instead of selecting source, FM acting as home button instead of selecting FM presets, pressing volume button taking me to all different places depending on MCU version installed - originally this would send me to equaliser and balance/fader menu), I think this is more software and to do with the mapping of the buttons.

Hello,i´m going to update the KGL MCU, there are six files,i know this:

- MTCB-KGL1 is the mcu for BMW and Mercedes (KGL5 is also for BMW)

- MTCB-KGL This is the mcu for the other car makers

But there are 4 more,which one its the specific for volkswagen for example

It is supposed to "overlap" the overlap is a display so you can see who is calling, it only overlaps when you have an incoming call, if it didnt you would only hear the ring and get no visual notification.

Excellent wok, I ve mean meaning to give that a go myself at some point. If I remember correctly the apks contain stuff for both high and low res versions, so it may work on both screen types - I ll try on my 800x480 later and post the results . . .

Now all we need to do is to sort out the way the app lists music folders.

I guess you have one of those external KGL DVB-T boxes ? The interface is much much better and much much clearer than the built in KLD DVB-T.

I ve got a dual tuner one with 2 boosted antennas, the signal is better than the single tuner, but still not perfect, I ve been meaning to add more antennas with a combiner, good to know that that works.

Dark Leo, thats it ! Was saying to someone yesterday that the files are on the fileserver, couldnt remember the name of the guy who did it.

He DOES NOT need to apologise, he DID NOT say you were a hacker !! Read his posts.

Yes, I ve thought that before, ALL keyboards should be left in so the devices can be used anywhere in the world.

I m using the latest version. Have you tried force enable ? How do you mean "not working" ?

If youre using it with the built in music app, it only works when the built in equaliser visualisation is off. But, it DOES actually still work with the built in equaliser if that graphic display is off.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Yeah, I know, thats the KGL one, KLD do it differently, they have a card that connects to the motherboard, much neater, but the quality isnt as good, dont think the KGL one would work on KLDs as the connections on the back arent there AFAIK. What setting in factory settings do you have your unit on for the TV box ? (what name and number ? There are about 10 options on my KLD).

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

I ve read people talking about early starting of Viper, but I dont have it early starting and its always been fine for me.

Are you saying the KGL numbered MCUs can be used on different KGL units ? I thought you pretty much had to stick to the type you had, as I said in my previous post.

In your Sygic Navigation folder (on my device it's under /sdcard/SygicNavigation), there is a folder for Android. Within that folder, create a file called settings_overload.ini and add the following lines:

[RuntimeSettings]

m_strDrvDevice=mac

Save this file, then delete the .dat files in the Android folder. Call Sygic and have them swap your license from your old IMEI to your MAC. You should also be able to activate the trial if it works properly.

First of all the app starts late, is the one of the last ones to load. I someone advised me I should " early start viper4android with install-revovery.sh." but for the moment I don't know how to do it.

Anyway, there are times that even if it is running it's not somehow enabled so I just need to click the Icon and the good sound comes alive.

IT MIGHT be some strange timming... I;ll try the early start and see what's next... now if someone could tell me how the early start works :)

Thank you !
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Interesting, you have yours on an ISDB-T setting, that is a different TV box altogether that uses another digital TV standard, not DVB-T. I ve tried all 10 TV settings on my unit and it only works with 2 of them. What is not working properly ? (If you mean some settings for the TV, it may be because it is on a setting for ISDB-T?).

You know, I dont think I ve ever tried SWC for changing channels on the TV, I ll give it a go.

Whether you get clima info is more dependent on what you have set the CAN Bus setting to in factory settings.

Early start was mentioned earlier this week. Ask [MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] for info on how to do it, thats his area of expertise.

Have you tried "force enable" in Viper settings ? Have you made sure that Busybox is installed ? Have you gone into Viper settings and set everything ? You have to mess around with all the settings to notice much change. Also theres another setting, cant remember its name now . . . .I ll look and edit post EDIT: its Lock Effect Mode. I did have problems enabling Viper myself when I first used it, it didnt seem to do much, I had to play about with the settings a lot before I mastered things.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kxdelta:
I just got myself a Ford-specific unit as follows:

MTCB-KYD-V2.43

1024x600

RK3066

I installed a rooted ROM from here and have it setup nicely now. Only problem is the rubbish microphone. Mic works okay in Android and skype sounds fine but microphone sensitivity is nowhere near high enough for a bluetooth call and I need to be about 2 inches form the microphone for my voice to be audible. Connecting the external microphone is the same, as seen in other threads the front is not disconnected and both mics work at the same time but I still need to be very close to the external mic before I am audible.

This unit is a bit different from the ones in other threads where the bluetooth mic has been separated from the android mic. Has anyone seen one of these ones before? The external mic line is plugged into a little connector on the main board near to the bluetooth card but I can't access the pins of the front mic without doing further disassembly so can't check continuity back to the caps near the bluetooth module. It would be useful to know if the mic bias is provided from the bluetooth module or the android audio codec. I don't want to lose the android mic but I do want to get a functioning bluetooth mic!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Reptile-X:
Crap!….. My unit is has two bad audio channels, I think the amplifier IC is busted out, I just checked en the IC is TDA7388 (4x 41Watt)

Ordered a new TDA7388 and I will get it next Wednesday.

Anyways some pictures here from the IC and the WIFI antenna connection:

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kxdelta:
Does anyone know if it's possible to use SWC to switch between radio stations by preset rather than by frequency? At the moment I have stored lots of stations but whenever I use the seek control on the steering wheel stalk or the tuning knob it starts searching by frequency (and doesn't seem to stop on any station) instead of just going to the next preset.

I tested 2 x JY ROMS... allthough the apps looked the same as mine (KYD) I had issues with them, radio did not work. As I understood the radio is controlled through MCU and the app is just an graphic interface... In theory every radio app (from any rom) should work... but for me it was not true.

I heard that the radio app from KLD roms look different, lot of red colour, the radio app from JY and KYD have mostly blue with some orange accents.

Ok i see. Its too much work for me! I am done with my hu. Because i think i have lost 1 mont of my life with my HU ;) powering usb front camera reverse camera powered 12v radio antenna etc and still have some problems.

And yes with install-revovery.sh everithyng is working great
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Sure. In MTCMusic, you'd override the SendCanbusinfo(int, int) method in com.microntek.music/MusicActivity to broadcast the com.microntek.canbusdisplay intent action with extra time set to something other than the current playing time.

Of course this would only work for MTCMusic. If you wanted to use a 3rd-party media player, you could construct the same broadcast intent and pass the same info.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Nova8316:
Hi,

I have a VW too. There is a MTC app sending command to the canbus to display it. The functions are SendRadio, SendMusic, SendVideo .....

What we need, is a way to :

Intercept what you want from android notifications

send what you want to the canbus

help from the guy who write the MTC exposed plugin.

I wanted a mod for displaying maps directions on it....

So I think it's more a common problem for every dual canbus system on head unit and not only our huifei...

So maybe a new thread invovlving more VW owners of these android head units will be more evicient.

EDIT : This is what a post looks like when you doesn't finish to read all the previous post.

Same kinf of infos than angentdr8 and typos1
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Any idea how I would get the settings app to display in 2 panes on an 800x480 screen, like the 1024x600 ones, agentdr8 ? I ve tried altering the build.prop to tabletUI:true, but that doesnt work.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

VWs arent the only cars with MFAs and the same apps control it, whatever car the head unit is installed in, so no need for a different thread.

A small app to change what is sent from music, radio etc to the MFA or a modification to MTC exposed would be useful, could be another thing agentdr8 can add to his (long) list !
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Maybe try App Settings and change the DPI of Settings?

Re: canbus display mods...I can definitely add it to my list of things to work on. It would only be for the MTC apps and Poweramp (since I'm already using the PA API in XMTC). I have no way of testing though, since my car doesn't use canbus, nor has an MFA.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Nova8316:
Can be a tester, mostly interested on this because if it is not the default music player, the infos are not shown on my mfa and so the next/prev keys from wheel doesn't work......

And also a mod gettings google maps and here map directions and display it
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Yeah, guess I could try that Xposed mod, just wanted to do it, so of natively, maybe I ll try a settings app from a 1024x6000 ROM first.

My car does have CAN Bus, but my car isnt officially supported by these units, I ve found the CAN inputs on the headunit and the CAN wires on my car, its just a case of trying to work out which is Tx and which is Rx on the HU and trying to get some sort of connection, I ve tried a few times a few months back, but not got around to spending more time on it yet.

Hopefully by the time you get to adding it to your app, I will have got around to getting it working on my car and I ll be able to test it for you !

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

He can only get it to work for MCU controlled apps, not 3rd party apps.

But it is possible to hack the CAN Bus and display whatever you want on the MFD, I ve seen it done on the internet several times. And I guess if you spent some time you could write an app for Android to display stuff on your MFD, but it I think it would be a lot more work than agetndr8 modifying his app to do it.

agentdr8's app allows 3rd party apps to be controlled by the SWC, so that will sort that side of it out for you.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Gazeko:
Thanks i will try it! Hopefully i will find it :D

EDIT: so I found this

what do i have to change? Is this the correct file to change? Sorry I´m really new to this topic.. (This file is from the MTCMusic app (AndroidManifest.xml)) Thank you very much!

That would be really awesome! I would test it!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Reptile-X:
Yes indeed, it is one of the first ones here, around 15 months old. The amplifier is not all dead on both channels but it crackles and volume is low, speakers are okay, tested and measured. Replacing the IC should fix it.

I was looking for excuse to remove the radio and make a connector for WIFI and add an powered USB anyways ?

The IC is only 6 euros, even cheaper at whooping 2.50 USD on aliexpress but can't wait that long.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] edit:
OK, encouraged of what you said i decided to try out the app so I've installed the framework 2.7 experimental1, and tested the XposedMTC version 1.3 and 1.3.2j.

I mainly wanted to switch between my current music player Deezer (online, subscription based player) and navigation, Waze lastest version (also tested an iGo version that came with the unit but the results were the same).

So, 1st click on the SW button Waze starts, I click the second time Deezer starts, third time, nav is back on the screen, forth time... it resets the unit and i see the animated Ford logo.... thing is, 90% of the time it gets stuck on the logo and never boots up.

At one point (at the 4 or 5th test) it did not boot at all not even after reset.... on top of that the first screen, the one with the kitkat logo on it did not show... the unit screen remained black... tried to reset it... nothing... turned off the engine, waited 2 minutes, turned on the engine... nothing... THAT was scarry... to brick it like that with 1 app resetting the unit a few times...

Stopped the engine for 5-7 minutes....Turned the engine on, the HU restarted (the kitkat logo still did not show, only the Ford animated one did, very strange)... cleared cache and uninstalled the XposedMTC app... now it looks like everything is back to normal.

I've tested the dimming and it does not work, even if i've set the screen brightness to 255 when I turn on the headlights the screen still dimms (those 10-20%)... It must be a hardware thing... The auto dimming in the evening works great BUT i haven't figure out how to dimm it more than hardware allows (using the software screen filter that has it build in?)

The app is great, it has super nice additions to a driver well being, switching between 2 most used apps while driving would save me a lot of time and would help me to keep my eyes on the road.

Please advise me what to do....

Thank you

P.S. The unit is installed in my car so can't really findle with it a lot and I want to avoid any bricking because that would mean taking the dash apart and extracting the unit and bringing it home.... and all that I am not sure I can do it by myself let along the time it takes.

Yeah, I ve been watching a Toshiba TB2929 on ebay for ages, its really cheap. The AN21-U uses that chip and has loads of reports of excellent sound quality, the Roadmaster versions of these units have it as well and a review in this thread said it sounded great. Considering the patchy reviews of the sound quality of these units (some say great, others say crap, mine sounds ok) I ve been toying with the idea of replacing mine with the Toshiba one to see if it sounds any better.
