I have just done the external mic modification.....

Can someone plz tell me if i need to solder both ends of the GND/Shield? (one to the SGND on the BT card and one to the GND terminal on the Mono Socket)? All the info is confusing and have seen pics of it like that and with it only soldered to the BT card end (this is how I have it presently). Want to check before I reinstall the unit...

Cheers
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] mike.s:
It has to be soldered at both ends.

I deliver the file install-recovery.sh even if is not present (but without the first line with su command).

I didn't test that method though on actual HU with the special rooting technique.

I added an option to PowerAmp to start the app with resume or just in not-playing mode (and that feature can be added to any service, by editing the pcv.xml file).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
If you mean the *#hct#root# code as the special root method, I tried your app, but it didn't create the /etc/install-recovery.sh script, only the /etc/install-recovery-2.sh. Renaming that one to /etc/install-recovery.sh didn't help btw. That was version 2.0 of your app. I would be happy to try again. :)

Someone asked me to check Google voice recognition, works fine now, I'll keep using it a bit to see if any errors come up.

Also, my issues with Wifi and Spotify force closing seemed to be solved, up until yesterday. Today however, it went perfectly fine again. Skype fixed webcam calling in so far that my video doesn't get stopped as soon as the call connects. It's just still rotated 90 degrees clockwise :/
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
I think you tried an older version :) I released today v2.2. Can you please try with the latest version ? I saw that the file is created just fine, but the su command is not present (i don't know if I need to add it or not, as I have no way to test that)

Poweramp starts only pause mode

I set the shutdown delay to 10 minutes.

I'm playing music with Poweramp.

When I stopped the car and after I start before 10 minutes are running out the poweramp only starts with pause mode, not play mode. I have to push the play button.

How can I set the poweramp or System, that the poweramp starts play mode?

With total boot I haven't this issue.

Nobody knows. It messes up the volume knob control. I've read somewehere that it is a misstranslation of "freewheel" but that doesn't make sense either..

Are you sure you unchecked the right one? It took me almost half an hour to figure that one out.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] SilverViper2k:
I just tried updating from within the app and I got a DNS error for www.dropbox.com in the app. So I removed the app and manually installed the APK again, and it runs. I selected some apps that it detected, applied the settings, confirmed that the /etc/install-recovery.sh file was created and rebooted. However, nothing happened after a reboot.

Also it didn't detect my Spotify and Viper4Android apps. Perhaps because I have them moved to the SD card?

If you like I can try to add the SU line, if you tell me what it should be :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] zorantoma:
is the size of version 2.2 right? i cant get it to instal.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
If the Napster player uses some sort of custom broadcast intents for external music control, they can be added to XposedMTC. If it uses the "standard" media button intents, then it should already work.

The built-in root controller is an older version of Superuser; I haven't looked at how to remove it, but it may not be necessary. If you get root via the password, install SuperSU, you should be able to unroot using the "adboff" password. That should disable the built-in Superuser from showing up in Settings, and it should allow SuperSU to handle all su requests.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TiBiSMART:
I have got similar problem.

I updated a factory KLD firmware and root with *#hct#root# code.

I have got install-recovery.sh and install-recovery-2.sh in etc dir.

i have got 99SuperSUDaemon in /system/etc/init.d and i've got /system/xbin/daemonsu binary...

but not start the headunit , car service poweramptoas , which there is in the install-recovery-2.sh (generated by PVC)

please help me
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pk313:
I already try all possible settings on XposedMTC ... but still not working fwd rew play pause from SWC doesn't have any effect..it's working perfect with jetaudio player that I use but unfortunately songs downloaded from napster can be reproduced only from napster player.

So I hope that at first occasion will be possible to add Napster on the XposedMTC list

Unfortunately I'm not so expert in that.

I will be very grateful

Update.img is in root but still can't update?? Help.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] RubbedLung:
This actually worked!! Thanks so much. I still can't get my head unit to recognize any content on my ipod though through the 30pin. Oddly enough it will recognize through USB but not through Ipod connection. It just recognizes the ipods name and then brings up the stock audio player and says "No music". Really frustrating.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Navall_75:
I had the same issue with my ipod, it turned out I had to start a new playlist on the music app and add all the tracks from the ipod to it. It's the only way I could get it to work anyway.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koimr:
Dumb question maybe but are you sure you have it in/on the right SD slot? That first error message looks pretty definitive.

Also, check and make sure that SD card is readable otherwise (put a movie or song on it and see if you can play it on the headunit).

Finally, if you downloaded the update FROM your headunit, try downloading it instead from a computer and copy it to the SD card. I've had some devices (tablets mostly) where I couldn't download something like ROM update directly to them without it getting corrupted somehow but copying to it from elsewhere worked just fine.

Just some more things to try. :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ReshamG:
Yeah will try again from scratch. Can you show me how to backup current MCU before updating. At the moment I have KLD 2.41

Cheers

Edit: I m using class 10 Samsung 32gb
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ReshamG:
Aite, I will stick to stable MCU then.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koimr:
[MENTION=6041319]dsa8310[/MENTION] is correct, we don't know of a way to take an already-installed MCU and back it up; however, the first post in the thread has links to pretty much all MCUs for all the devices in this thread. Same with firmware (stock or otherwise).

Just going from your posts though, be aware that updating your Android firmward (update.img) doesn't update your MCU - you have to do that explicitly with an updated mcu.img file on your SD card (root folder, same as update.img).
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] RubbedLung:
Hmm Ill give it a try. Thanks for your help.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] comptechltd:
I'm not at the head unit right now but I believe there is a control on the screen you have to hit to get it to show different playlists. If memory serves me correctly it is in the upper left side of the screen then navigate to where your music is stored. I run into this with my wife's IPOD. Sorry I cant give more details.

Is there a way to set it up so Sygic gps can still work while listening to the radio? Right now my radio goes silent when using sygic. It would be nice for it to be interrupted instead of being silent.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pcoopmans:
When the Radio is playing, use your home button instead of the back button. It should keep playing radio while you select sygic. When you have a 'hard' navi button it also should play the Radio when you select this.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] gguevara:
Hello gentlemen,

I received my new head unit, and installed it over the weekend. I now have the following:

KLD Universal model S07 - RK3181 (quadcore)

800x480 resolution - KK 4.4.4_23072015

MCU version MTCB-KLD2-V2.67 (Jul 09 2015 19:15:51)

Kernal version 3.0.36+ root@chun-book #396 (Wed Jul 22 17:40:16 CST 2015)

Build number RK3188-ENG4.4.4 23072015.09:09:11

It came with no fan built in, so I cut out the holes in the back (following the outline seen through the metal casting. I installed the fan in an exhaust direction. I also installed a second fan on the side in an intake direction (rather be safe then sorry). I wired them to the red ignition wire so that they turn on as soon as I run the engine.

Other than that, everything else is stock (hardware/software). Everything seems to run ok, with one sporadic exception. The radio sometimes stops playing (as if it was muted). There is no sound, even if I switch stations. However, when I switch to mp3, iPod, or video, it plays sound with no issues. When I switch back to radio again, there is still no sound. I have to power the unit off and then back on again for the radio to start playing again. This is sporadic, but enough for it to be annoying. I feel this is related to the either the radio app or MCU. I have sent the seller a messager to see what they come back with.

But in the mean time do you have any suggestions that might solve this.

Thanks guys,

gg
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Maverick923:
Yeah I have done that, and then the radio keeps playing before I open an app. It works with other apps, but does not when I open Sygic. Thanks for the reply!!!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] PUFF1N:
How did you connect a mouse to this unit? I've gone and lost all button functions and since my previous ROM flash, the unit won't boot into recovery using the same sequence as before. I can put the SD card in with the correct update and it recognises it, but I simply have no way of clicking "O.K" to install. One simple mouse click would see me up and running again. Was it just a USB mouse, if so, did the front USB work? Any help appreciated.

My bad. It turns out that the reset button got a little stuck,so when I was pressing a pin in, it wasn't making contact. All fixed now.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
In v2.2 I added an option to poweramp to choose if wants resume on startup (cmd 3) or just start the app in stopped state (OPEN_TO_PLAY, cmd 20). that input keyevent i need to add to other player services if they don't have an api for that instead (like jetaudioplus).

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

Yes, the size is right. It should be 1,084,487b, because it has the busybox binary inside. If you have a previous version of the app, please uninstall that and try again.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I noticed it too. Something they mucked up in the 1.86 release.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
AFAIK most factory Bose systems use the speaker wires to the amp, mine does and so does webdude's at the beginning of the thread.

Theres also a specific Audi part to stop the noise problem, read the first few pages of the thread and all the info is there.

Unfortunately, the bose system in my porsche and in some Mercedes uses an optical output to the amp... So it's a little tougher to deal with.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Installed my mic tonight and it doesn't exhibit the behavior you described. On the plus side, there was no need to modify the internal mic at all to get it to work with both the Android side or the bluetooth side of the headunit. I did notice that the mic I put in (the Zalman that was linked a few pages back) had a 2 ring connector. Most mics I've used in car audio have been single ring. I did have another 3.5mm mic from an older Sony headunit that I tried as well, and it didn't work. That one had the traditional single ring plug on it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
So it seems I have accidentally(stupidly) deleted the apk for the canbus program on my unit.

And of course before I ran the full titanium backup

Would someone be able to grab it from their unit?

I don't remember exact name of the apk, it should show up in the system as android.microntek.canbus

Is there a noticeable difference in quality? I'd like to get a mic confirmed working, my internal mic is all but useless.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] KeiserSozeyFr:
Thank you very much to spend time to test it. I made the connector to plug the external mic (Original mic from my VW) by myself , double ring connector, but I don't remember if I connect both rings or only one. I will check and do some tests

This mic don't work at all or do it work only with Android side (not bluetooth) ?

I can confirm that the 1.77 kernel is much better in terms of wifi performance. I have yet to experience a connection drop, and I've been reinstalling tons of stuff from the Play store.

For reference, after copying the 1.77 kernel to the internal /sdcard I used the /system/bin/flash_image kernel kernel.img to write it. And then rebooted.

External mic

I bought a zalman mic and installed it today. Whilst I think it does sound better, it is still pretty rubbish to listen to on the other end...

Someone said that the internal mic is still connected when you plug in an external one. Has anyone tried disconnecting the internal one ? And if so did it help ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I think the Zalman is an improvement over the internal, but definitely not as good as I was hoping it would be. It's quite possible the internal mic is still wired in with the external, causing issues, but I didn't want to dig too deep into the faceplate pcbs. I'm sure the internal mic is surface mounted, so everything would need to be removed just to unsolder it.

Question about reverse camera options

Can someone tell me a bit about the reverse camera view, with respect to guide lines..

I'd like to know whether:

a) there are no guidelines and no option to show them

b) there are guidelines and you can't turn them off

c) there is an option to show guidelines

d) there is an option to show guidelines and you can adjust their location/dimensions

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] TieNN89:
Just wondering if anyone log into their main Google Account on these head units?

I was thinking about doing it so I could share my "paid" apps with the unit rather than having to buy them again but I don't want anything synced to it.

So the plan is to disable auto sync for everything but then I can't find any option for auto sync data.

This is normally under Data usage in the settings menu on the phone but that menu isn't actually in the head unit.

So I'm wondering if there is a way to disable auto sync. I know you can go into the account page and disable each individual one but I was after the whole package disable function.

Also the other thing is I'm wondering if there is something out there I can install or maybe it already has it to basically require a pass code to get into the Settings Menu which will prevent people from playing around with the settings etc

Thanks

Dear members,

I'm new and i'm not sure if these questions were already answered. So i got several questions:

1) Is it possible to get these letters ( ä ö ü) in the radio info ?

2) Is it possible that the radio-station names are saved on the positions?

3) When i install new apps and move them on the "sd-card", they're not visible after a reboot anylonger. Is there a way to save apps like spotify with all its data like songs on the external sd-cards (because the on-board flash is kinda small )

Thank you in advance!

OK.

I installed PCV Statbuilding app.

I use Notepad++.

I have install-recovery.sh and install-recovery-2.sh.

install-recovery.sh:

"#!/system/bin/sh

# If you're implementing this in a custom kernel/firmware,

# I suggest you use a different script name, and add a service

# to launch it from init.rc

# Launches SuperSU in daemon mode only on Android 4.3+.

# Nothing will happen on 4.2.x or older, unless SELinux+Enforcing.

# If you want to force loading the daemon, use "--daemon" instead

/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &

# Some apps like to run stuff from this script as well, that will

# obviously break root - in your code, just search this file

# for "install-recovery-2.sh", and if present, write there instead.

/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh"

install-recovery-2.sh.

"getpid () {

ps | busybox sed -n "/busybox sed -n/! s/[^ ]* *\([0-9]*\).*$1.*/\1/p"
