Here you go, their description tomtom aliexpress isn't correct, so I contacted them and the seller said its an error, that they do offer 2 models the NU line is pure android and the DT is the wimce/android mix.

I've been waiting for a 1024 unit with 2gigs ram for a while... quad core is a bonus lol

The only mistake i made was oordering it off alibaba (seller directed me here, http://www.tradesolution.hk/ which is also listed on ebay) and not off the aliexpress, as the aliexpress posting is direct from the manufacturer (so it sounds) the alibaba is a middle man so it seems, even tho the newsmy site does list eBay being a selling site, and there's only one listing (or was only as of yesterday) and it was from the tradesolution seller)

thank you very much. now it's working again!

So, thanks for the boot animation info. Worked perfect. I now have the Mazda logo on boot.

Additionally, got my OBDII BT unit in today and as expected (I'm on 4.4.4), works with my phone, not with the head unit. I'll be glad if/when someone figures out the fix for that.

Lastly for the HU, every time it boots it defaults to a volume level of 10 no matter where I had it set before. Not a big deal by any means....but is there a workaround to that?

Only thing left now is to figure out how to get my Note 4 to reliably activate Tethering on BT connection to the HU then disable Tethering while turning WiFi back on when disconnecting from the HU. For something that sounds so simple, it just does not want to work right no matter what I do in Tasker.

Bluetooth obd works on 4.4.4.

Coudus V4 unmounts my USB front cam from time to time. Car service apk acts weird taking too long to load or loads without music service being active. And phone service. Don't know if I had fixed Google account yet, forgot to check. Apart from that 4.4.4 is better than 4.2.2 as far as sound is concerned thus I ain't going back to 4.2.2.

One problem I have on 4.4.4. And had on 4.2.2 is with bt and my phone. Sometimes when it pairs ( automatically) it goes into call mode while I'm not on any call. I can't go back to music or radio and the only option is to turn off bt. Has anyone experienced the same?

No, it doesn't...unless you found some magic trick you'd like to share with the rest of us.

The OBDII BT unit WILL pair with the head unit and you WILL get the OBD logo on the status bar but it WILL NOT communicate with Torque. This has been covered numerous times in just the 50 or so pages of this thread I've managed to browse.

My brother installed a Witson(Roadnav) i802 head unit (S150 platform) in his Honda Civic. I have to say, the sound is really great. It has a lot options not just EQ. If my Klyde could have this sound quality... The user interface is also nice. Boot time is faster than ours. Not restart while engine cranking.

But there is downsides too. The hardware is much weaker (but I think it runs good), touch screen is resistive and radio reception a bit weaker (bad in garage, acceptable outside).

Theres no secret, its known to work on 4.4.4.

Maybe try clearing data before updating ? I m getting a problem that I dont see all the Torque widgets, but other users can see all of them on 4.4.4, wondering if some how old settings remain after an update or something.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
Thanks, some reading for work tonight haha, I do rrecall that postijg. Didn't go into it as when I seen it there wasn't a unit made for my car, as I like a factory look. Makes me wonder why they use a separate box from the uunit that has all the guts n junk. Shall be interesting to see
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Double beep is normal when hitting Apply in Factory Settings.

Try changing the Location settings to High Power.

Are you using the 30-pin iPod cable that came with the headunit and then converting to Lightning? I don't believe it's really designed to support the newer iPod/iPhone interfaces, so I'm surprised it's working at all with your iPhone 5s. Regarding the source switching, if you're using XposedMTC without steering wheel controls, you can use the included launchers (MyMusic, MyRadio, MyVideo) to have other sources muted when switching apps. It uses the apps you define in the prefs. If you're using SWCs, then you can enable mode switching override in the prefs, and that too should mute other sources when switching. These headunits aren't designed with the idea of people using alternate media apps. Would have been nicer if they just implemented a service that somehow watched the AudioManager to determine what source needed to be set at any given time, regardless of app. But that wouldn't work with sources that rely on the MCU, like Radio, DVD, Line In, and DTV.

You can update your GS with any of the system images (KGL, KLD, etc). You can only update the MCU with GS MCU images.

Not sure on the GPS monitoring issue, but I have noticed in 4.4.4. that apps/services that receive BOOT_COMPLETED don't seem to get that intent on a consistent basis. It's either being throttled, or the intent is being consumed by something. Haven't figured it out yet.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
Hmm, okay, well that kinda sucks. As ill soon be giving this unit to a family member. Hope I csm figure out the auto dimming issue soon! As with my unit when I usevthe xposed module it would give me black screen issues almost every time the radio was turned off with the screen auto dimmed. May have to update my installed version and play with it for a bit to ssee if its been resolved in 4.4
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] bobojan:
Thanks for the replay Agentdr8

So if I update from to 4.4 will all the stuff work with the GS or are the updates made especially for the kgl and others
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Yeah, think we had a convo about it about a month ago when I found out about that unit and read that thread, I like the factory look as well, but I think that the touch control one with a matching surround could be made to look factory in almost any car that a double DIN unit fits in, especially in the light of this almost production ready Suzuki Vitara :

Hi

Hi have read a lot but can't really see a description that tells that all the apps will work with the GS so if I update it to 4.4.4 will it work with all the apps on it or is it important with the mcu that's why I am confused

Try increasing the minimum dimming level to 10. The backlight setting doesn't seem to be consistent from headunit to headunit.

The apps aren't headunit mfg-specific. They work with all units, and all MCUs. The only thing that is specific to your unit is the MCU firmware.

i have another question regarding radio reception. I remember someone mentioned to connect the blue wire to 12V. On the wiring diagramm it says "Amp(Blue)" is this the correct wire?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] bobojan:
Thanks for your replay sir :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
If your antenna has an amplifier that needs power, then you can connect it to that wire and be good.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

You're running a wire from the headunit back to your camera for power? That would definitely work, if provided by a relay, but it just seemed easier (for me) to power the camera locally near the trunk lid. One less wire to run the length of the car.

And yes, the HU goes into reverse view when that wire gets 12V.

Took a look, seems to suffer from the same problems other methods I've already tried have.

1. It seems newer versions of Android will have problems with this automated activation of tethering if the screen is locked.

2. Failing to reactivate WiFi after turning off tethering.

Those are basically the problems I'm already having with Tasker.

Is it possible to expand USB ports? My unit (Klyde/Eonon) has a cable that plugs into the back that provides 2 USB ports. I plan to use one for my OEM USB jack and the other for OBD2 for Torque. I have a mobile hotspot that performs better over USB so I'd like to use USB instead of WiFi, can I get a USB splitter to get one more port?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ultradj83:
Dears, is it possible MCU to affect 3G connectivity?

I downgraded MCU to fix buttons layout problems and now I have no more 3G connectivity...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
You can use an externally-powered USB hub. There are some cheap 12V->5V converters on ebay that can provide power for it.

The 3G dongles have a sim slot, so they need their own line of service. I didn't want to pay for another line so I just use the wifi hotspot on my m7 to provide service to the headunit when I'm in the car.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

That's odd. The MCU doesn't determine what 3G dongles the Android system sees/supports, as that's all kernel and usb_modeswitch related. I suppose it could negatively affect the USB ports themselves, but I haven't heard of any issues like that before.

Just make sure the dongle is plugged in prior to powering on the headunit. I don't believe it's hot-pluggable.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] RyanBRZ:
I'll consider that, though I may be able to live with WiFi. I'm only using internet for Waze, emails, hangouts so WiFi may be fine.

I wanted to do the same, but I'm on Verizon with the new moto x which is not rooted or hacked yet and Verizon doesn't allow tethering. I bought a FreedomPop hotspot for $20 and I get 500 MB of 3g/4g per month for $4. This should be plenty of data for my needs. It runs on Sprints network.

I put up a new beta of XposedMTC that should address issues with the BT OBD override conflicting with phone/headset devices. There is now a linked preference that you enter your OBD adapter's name, full or partial. This mimics how the stock behavior is, but uses your adapter name instead of matching on "OBD". I tested it with my adapter, which has a name of CBT and it works with Torque.

Dear Developers, is it possible to create a dummy/virtual device based on this latest 4.4.4 firmware?

Hi

You were false-directed. I am the dev of this App :)

Well to answer your questions: till now I have had no chance to find out the actual volume. I wanted to honor the mute state but I don't know about it. I will do some research when I got time.

The second part is configurable. Just open the App and see the buttons. You can eighter set GALA to use 5 instead of 3 steps and/or to raise and lower the volume by a factor of 2 instead of 1 steps.

Hello, thanks for your reply and help,

I'll try to check these advises later today.

As for the iPhone5s, I'm using this kind of iPOd to Lightning Adapter and in case the HU defects the iPhone (in some cases) it's is really doing well. I can control the iPhone iPod App and I can select playlists, albums and titles on the touchscreen of the HU. As I said it's only not working every time I connect. Strange thing is that overtime I connect it recognizes that m,y phone is counted by displaying the phone's name in iPOD Player, but I don't get access to content (Playing a song started on the phone is possible). If it is working OK then the phone name get's additional mark.

At the time I installed the unit (under 4.2.2) I tried also my iPOD classic direkt on the iPOD cable of the HU and this was not working at all (iPOD classic was not recognized by the HU). But the good news are, that in principal the iPOD App and iPhone 5s are working. If it would be all the time, it is better then the MTCMusicPlayer App.

Once again thanks for your help.

Hello,

be careful when adding a USB HUB. I used a cheap USB HUB on the back USB Port and a 3G Stick connected to it. My experience was that GPS stopped receiving GPS position (Signal was displayed randomly, like a equalizer).Since I remove the USB hub and connected the 3G Stick directly GPS is working fine all the time. Maybe it was related to the fact I did not use a powered USB HUB, but I did not connect power consuming usb devices. Just keep it in mind if you run into the same problem.

4. Select obd mode (BT mode)

5. Select Device ( 2 addresses, phone and obd2) select phone device and exit of torque settings menu. Torque say "Device error"

6. Go again to settings obd menu, and select now the correct device (obd2 device). exit of torque settings menu, wait few seconds and torque now connect to ECU.

I found a link for update the GS models [.news.autopumpkin.com/how-to-upgrade-your-android-head-unit-from-4-2-to-4-4-kitkat/[/url]

Is it also for the MTCB-GS-V2.02? If it is then I was thinking if the files can be added with the other models on [huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/[/url]
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:

Does it say if its 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 ?

Edit: I ve gone to the link and see they have KLD, JY and GS updates, may add them to the server even if they are 4..4.2 for posterity, they may be some slight differences in the apps - some of the launcher, radio etc apps may have different different layouts and we could pull these and have different options if someone does not like the layout of the built in apps we have already.

You can update the MCU and system separately, so if you try one and then the other you can see which is causing the white screen.

And the system update is interchangeable between manufacturers, so if you have a JY or GS you can put KLD or KGL updates on it doesnt matter.

I m only interested in these updates as some of the built in apps may be different and look or work better than the KLD and KGL ones, although TBH I think theyll be the same, but worth its a quick flash to see.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
You can get an instance of AudioManager and check am.getParameter("av_mute=") for true/false.

This is because your vehicle is killing 12V power on the ACC line when cranking the engine, which initiates a shutdown. When the ACC goes to 12V once the engine is on, the shutdown process is sort of aborted half-way through, and it causes all sorts of things to crash.

I posted a circuit diagram a few pages back that describe a power-off delay, which can keep your ACC line hot for a variable amount of seconds (depending on capacitor size) during cranking.
