[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] wokro:

Hi everybody,

in the last weeks I installed successfully a Klyde unit to my Honda Civic 5door (European Model) with Premium Audio (external 360W OEM Amplifier). Hardware Installation was not plug&play because the harness shipped with the unit is for Standard Audio in Honda (without ext. PA) and has the powered Speaker outputs assigned to the Honda 24pin connector. So I had to resign the pins in the Klyde 24pin Connector from the powered outputs to the Pre-Audio Outputs. If anyone has the same issue, I can help with the wiring, since I got the schematics of the Audio from my Honda dealer.

In the Attachment I posted a picture of the build in unit.

My unit is, as I said a Klyde one with Firmware KLD 2.02, Android 4.2.2,

The unit came with 2012 maps of go 9.6.7 which I changed to basarsofts iGO 9.6.29 with 2014 maps.

I put MTCXposed and MTCService on (many thank for that).

So far I'm pretty satisfied with the unit but there are some issues I like to improve, maybe some can help:

1) Radio APP: working mostly OK with names stored to presets, but from time to time it looses presets (workaround with MTCXposed = OK).

- When I'm running iGO it happens that the frequency of the radio station is changed by 0.05MHz without any motivation, i can hear a peep and then it is detuned without pressing any key.

- AF is not working at all. The Radioapp is not moving to an alternative Frequency when reception is getting worse. For me it seems that because of the loss of signal quality the RDS/EON is not received (no Stationname in the display) in such a case and therefore the radio app does not remember to which alternative frequency to jump. It's annoying when you drive a long way on the highway and you have to manually do a search again and again. Does anyone else have this problem?

- Radio reception: in general the tuner receive is good but I can see on the flickering Stereo Symbol OO that very often the signal is weak. My Honda has a active Antenna on the roof which is powered by the blue wire of the Radio unit. So I wonder why the reception is poor.

2) HW Buttons: I would like to reassign the Buttons on the Radio (not the SWC) like "AMS", "DVD" etc. as I'm not using them and like to have functions assigned to them which are useful to me. Is there any solution for that.

3) MTC Launcher: I like the appearance of the KLD Launcher but I would like to change the default apps like AVIN, DVD, MUSIC to 3rd party apps e.g. change Musicplayer to Poweramp.

4) I miss the the Android menu button for some apps. I tried some soft button apps but it seems that the menu button is not available on our units.

For those of you considering to buy a unit with build in DVB-T tuner, although my seller on Aliexpress warned me not to take it since it is not of good quality (has only one antenna), I spent the few bucks. But my seller was right, the Tuner is integrated in the unit and is operated via the touchscreen, but the soft buttons on the DVB are not responsive, every keypress takes a few seconds to take action, the video quality is poor (DVB module input is FBAS! signal). So I decided for me to disable the feature in the Factory default settings.
