[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I ve been dealing with Klyde for months, they are very helpful, but a bit slow and sometimes they find it hard to understand what you mean, but their intentions are good.

I can take some pics of my Klyde if its useful - I ve already taken the top and front off.

The GS specs are always listed as the same as the Klydes, this confirms then that theyre actually the same as the KGLs, not the KLDs ?

I remember reading about the internal mic mod, its pretty recent, within the last few weeks, think it was dnts who posted it, I searched "internal" in the thread search box and his last post was about half way down the page.

Maybe pm the op, pakidermo and ask him to update the wiki and first few pages, we ve found out lots since it was last updated a few months ago.

No, diversity means two tuners of the same type, ie 2 digital or 2 analogue.

It probably also depends on what area of the country youre in.

Whilst wiring 2 antennas together is not diversity, maybe itstill helps - I got no signal with the non boosted plastic antenna, but with 2 boosted ones wired into one with a t-shaped adapter I got a mostly good signal when stopped. I havent tried just one boosted antenna though - I will try one on its own and then the two together and see if it makes a difference.

Antenna type and position also make a difference, ideally they should be mounted horizontally (thats why tv aerials have horizontal bits at the top) and as high up as possible on the car, also away from heated rear window elements and other aerials.

I dont think you can simply buy any tv box for these units - they have to be adapted to work with the touch screen. You could try and Android tv tuner (the MCU controls the tv tuners supplied with the units./by the factories), but I ve not been able to find a diversity one for Android, only single tuner ones, so you d have the same problem as you do now. I cant say whether the factory supplied diversity ones are any good or not as I was sent a single tuner one and I m waiting for the diversity one. The single tuner one has an interface very similar to the small car tv tuners that have been available on ebay for years (yellow on blue back ground like Reptile-X's). I think they use a crappy composite connection - I havent hooked the aerials up yet ( the leads are too short to reach the unit, need to extend them), but the onscreen menus have very fuzzy outlines and are not very sharp.

The whole of Europe uses DVB-T . The Chinese companies know which areas of the world use DVB-T, which use ISDB, which use ATSC and which use DTMB, theyre unlikely to have sent the wrong box, its gonna be a signal issue. Maybe the signal is stronger in the Netherlands ?

Interestingly the diagram on the label on your DVB-T box shows 2 antenna sockets, but theres only one, maybe they do do a diversity version ?

On some of the Klydes holding down the mute button turns the screen off totally, could you download the KLD firmware and see how they do it, then apply it to KGLs and GSs ?

On my Klyde if I go into factory settings and increase the volume level in audio it doesnt get any louder, any one else have this ? Does it increase on KGLs and GSs ?

Witson is just a re-seller, you can find out what version yours is from the "about" section, in the MCU type box.

Can you tell us which post on pda4ru you are talking about and what the "radio sound improvement" is ? - There are lots of posts on that thread !
