[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] patagonia1:
Presenting my HU

Hi All,

Long time reader of this thread and it has helped me a lot configuring my HU, thanks for all the hard work!!

Not programing expert but I´ll try to help in what I can, my current configuration is

- JY Model S07, MCU v2.08, Android 4.4.4 (Malaysk ROM)

- 3G Dongle working with PPP Widget (not by itself need to to configure only modem mode on dongle)

- MTC Service for OBDII dongle to work, needed to input pin to pair OBDII (6789 in my case) Running Torque.

- Switcher app for toggling between app´s. Great little app works a charm, think developer is here on XDA.

- For music: Spotify and Jet Audio ( prefer jetaudio interface rather than PA)

- Navigation: Waze, Maps.me and Twonav for offroading.

- Radio: MCU version 2.11 does not have RDS, had to go back to 2.08 and its working ok.

Comments, good:

- Runs fast and does (not after hard work hehehe) all the things I need, specially GPS that is quite fast and accurate.

- Screen seems ok for me in resolution and brightness in sun (could use some more dimming at night)

- Though I had to change motherboard because it failed, construction is more robust than what I expected.

Bad, pending issues:

- Ok, failed motherboard, seller send me another one for US$50 to be returned when I shipped back the bad motherboard, costs me more than US$50 to ship (have the motherboard in my desk if someone needs photos or other) After that everything works ok.

- Haven´t been able to use SWC, made connections and configured but nothing happens. Car Service app log shows that the keys have been pressed but will long delay so its connected, I will try different MCU version to see if thats the problem, ideas welcomed.

- Haven´t been able to configure correct sound when toggling between Radio and other music app like PA or Jetaudio, I always end with both sounding at the same time, this is what most annoys me as I need to be pausing or quitting radio app before I change. Have read a lot and don´t remember others complaining about this, does some else have the same problem? It works ok if only using Radio and Music app.

- o and sound quality, I didin´t expected good sound quality but its really bad, jetaudio and PA help a little by tweaking settings. I have an amp waiting for installation but don´t think it will solve it as probably the problems are in the pre-amp stage, long term goal would be to output digital to an USB dac and then amp.

Car Specifics: I installed to a 2009 Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero

- Bought faceplate and wiring harness from ebay, faceplate matched very good if someone needs the info on the seller let me know.

- Have configured Torque to read AT transmission temperature, very good for the ones that like to tow or for offroading, instructions -ONLY FOR PAJERO 2009 ON-

- home/ settings/ manage extra PID/ add predefined set. select chrysler/dodge/Mercedes.

- extra PIDS will appear select Tranmission FLuid Temp Method 3 (the one that reads 2103) and edit it:

OBD2 mode and PID: 2102

Short name (used in Display): Trans Temp Pajero (or what ever you want to call it)

Minimum Value: 0

Maximum Value: 200

Scale Factor: x1

Unit factor: C

Equation: f-50

OBD Header to use: TCM

Some people (myself included) have had the Engine light on after using this setting, someone on the pajero forum suggested to change OBD protocol to "11bit 500k baud" instead of "auto" in the vehicle profile settings to solve this. I been running as such for more than one month now without issues so it seems the solution works.

Any questions regarding my configuration welcomed! and any comments specially on the annoying radio/others sounding would be great.

Regards from Chile!
