[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
The power connection goes from the car to this booster, so it is impossible for it to power an active antenna in my car because it would not get any power.

Unless of course youre suggesting that the booster sends the power down the antenna wire ! ?

That would make the radio reception worse !!

I m not going to argue anymore, that is an antenna booster, anyone can see it and it is described as such.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] uncleg:
I'm just explained how it works, (only injects power to coaxial cable to powerIng the amplifier circuit board placed inside your antenna) Thats all. But also I say: "some model of our headunits already have this injector integrated in headunit mainboard".

In this case you no need to buy this item.

Just measure voltage before and after this booster :) You'll be surprised :)

I read the first 30 pages completely, then researched the problem I have, but without success. If you want to help me, it would be very nice.

I can not synchronize my contacts with BT hands-free application. While I manage no problem to call or receive calls, I am unable to sync my contacts (about 650, it might be that?). Even after 12 hours of synchronization, round ... Erisin, the manufacturer of the item ES9000A I bought, is of no help.

The topic was discussed on page 177 and following, but it seems to me there is no solution.

Of course, the ideal would be to use a dialer in the market for their calls.

Thank you to you for your help and sorry for the French / English translation risky.

New to this thread.. KLD

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this thread cause I've just bought on ebay and installed this

From specs and info found here, it seems to be a Klyde KLD, don't know which version.

First impressions are quite good!

Sound is good on my VW Golf mk.IV

Call quality is excellent

Radio receiver needs an aerial amplifier

DVD still to test

GPS still to test since I want to hide GPS receiver door mount

WiFi is working fine even on wifi range borders

Now, I would like to slightly customize it and I have few questions if someone has already experienced.

I would like to change default media player to Shuttle or DoubleTwist and navigation app to Sygic or Here(beta).

Does anyone knows how to remap hard keys and/or launcher to do that?

Moreover, it seems that first page widgets are not customizable, just from the second page on.. any hints?

Thanks!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Going from the picture of the back its not a KLD but one of the "JY" units, go to the "about" screen and it will say. Not much is known about these yet. I m assuming the widgets are the same as the KLD, you can install the KGL widgets if you want, do a search for "KGL widgets" - Booroondook posted links to them for me last week.

So yours is a KGL then ?

The bluetooth apps on KGLs and KLDs are different, but they are interchangeable (well the entire firmware is and the BT app works, not sure if anyone has tried replacing just the BT app, but that should work also) so you could try the KLD BT app, .

The KLD BT app gets phone book access from my phone, is this what you mean ? Or do you want the contacts actually on the headunit ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] parlato_edoardo:
Thanks! I'll check later about "JY"... So it means that should be a different producer?

As long as hardware is slightly similar, it would be great to have some kind of vanilla rom for such kind of devices, with just drivers and basic+google apps.

Edit:

You're right, it seems to be this one

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
The Android side is interchangeable, at least between the KGL and KLD units, should be with the JY units as well, the MCU.img IS NOT interchangeable between units. On 4pda.ru there is some custom firmware, dont think anyone on here has tried it yet.

Is there anyway to improve sound quality when using Spotify? I have noticed some static on background which follows volume level changes. I don't have this static when using radio, only with Spotify.

Otherwise I'm really happy with this unit, but this is one issue I would like to get fixed.

Using Klyde unit with V2.03.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
You can't use a standard dialer app on a device with no cellular radio. While my GS syncs the contacts fine from my HTC One (once you authorize phonebook access), I opt to use Tablet Talk, which comes with its own dialer (and contacts) which relays to the phone who to call, over wifi (i.e. hotspot) or BT.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Sorry about that. I hadn't actually tested that you could start/stop it that way.

I've added a broadcast receiver that catches 2 intents to control the service to the latest experimental release (1.2.8f) on the repo.

Start: com.dr8.xposedmtc.START_SERVICE

Stop: com.dr8.xposedmtc.STOP_SERVICE

Yes. I'm fully satisfied with CarService 2.0.1

Thank you for your work.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] parlato_edoardo:
Yes, I see, but he's using the 1.2.8f(Experimental release) with Tasker.

So agentdr8 added:

Broadcast receiver for service start/stop intents for Tasker or scripting automation

Service start intent: com.dr8.xposedmtc.START_SERVICE

Service stop intent: com.dr8.xposedmtc.STOP_SERVICE

While I chose the 1.2.8(older Stable release) without those updates, cause i'm not interested in Tasker yet.

Hope that the combination of stable release + different MCU make it work.... or maybe brick.. who knows! :confused:

Hi all,

I am new to this thread and have been reading regarding the unit. I have a VW Golf 2009 currently fitted with RCD 310. Car has factory fitted front and rear sensors so looking to replace this unit with one of the Android ones. Having done some research i've found two suppliers below:

Brand is Witson:

http://www.witson.com/en/displayproduct.html?proID=102169862

Or UK seller: http://www.iceboxauto.com/vw-golf-6-2006-2012-android-42-8

Huifei:

http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/HUIFEI-8-android-touch-screen-VW_1721834744.html - minimum order is 4 so was advised to order from here as i only need one: http://android-caraudio.com/en/100-...dia-pure-android-422-for-volkswagen-seat.html

Both units have the same processor and ram but i am not sure if there any other differences. I am wondering if anyone has this particular unit. I am trying to figure out if parking sensors would work or do i need additional kit for this to work.

I dont have MFD steering or any other fancy factory fitted gadgets so dont have a lot which i need working with this unit.

Thanks
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
The 1.2.8 stable release has some bugs relating to the dimming time periods. These have been addressed in the latest experimental version, and will be rolled into a stable release soon.

Can't offer much help with the MCU, other than make sure you use the one for your specific headunit type. If you need assistance with XposedMTC, just post here and we can try to help out.

I have it. From Witson. It's the same as HuiFei/KGL

With the latest firmware 2.03 you'll got correct canbus decoding and OSD (climate, door state, parking sensors etc.)

But sound characteristics of this unit(platform), IMHO isn't very well. But if sound quality is not important to you, and you need more functionality than yours rcd310, I think this headunit - good choise for you.

HuiFei/KGL unit for Opel Vectra C 2008

Hi guys,

I got a HuiFei / KGL unit from Witson, and the model is W2-A7513G and I install it on Opel Vectra C, model 2008. My issue is with CANBUS. When I installed the device, I saw the information on dash display, but after device restarted, the information was gone. I also updated the firmware to KGL 2.0.3, and the issue is the same. After the updated finished, I was able to see the information again, but after a restart, the information was gone again. I can make the unit display information again, by reseting the unit, but again, it only last until a restart.

I had read most of this thread, and google it for a week already, but didn't find any fix to this. Can anybody help, please, with this annoying problem ?

Thanks!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Warlord711:
At least you got some CANBUS feedback. My Golf MKV shows nothing, only door status sometimes, most times 3-5 sec delay. No climatic, no information about frequency or anything in the car dashboard, only a placeholder word, i think its NaviAudio or similiar.

SWC is broken since ever, always jumps 2-3 tracks or volume ticks.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
SWC works great to me, and with CarService, it works even better, as I don't use the stock software. You can try to reset your unit from the small hole reset button, and see if you get a complete CANBUS workflow, like I get. Maybe somebody will help us on fixing this strange issue.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] v1ks:
Thanks for the feedback, will look into this. I contacted iceboxauto to ask the same question and they said that parking sensors wont work out of the box, as you say i will need to get the right Canbus. However they recommended some Veyron VN-VW systems but they are Wince based and im after a android. They are expecting some adroid devices from the same supplier which will work with factory fitted sensors so im gona wait and see what they have.

kernel version ? and firmware ? these informations are print to settings > about ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] 83martin83:
Sorry for the reaction time and thank you for your answers.

I'm not sure that is a KGL. If I go to the pdf of the first page "How to know if you-have a Huifei / KGL, Klyde, RoadMaster gold", it seems that it is rather a Klyde KLD as the radio module is a ST TDA7706 (according to page of Erisin) and the BT module a Free Wing FM3507. Moreover, the firmware is MTCB-KLD-V2.02

Do you think I could swap the BT application with that of KGL, then? And where to get it?

To expand my problem, my Nexus 5 couple well with my unit, I can also make calls completely hands-free. The problem is when I want to import my contacts from N5 to the BT application. I have a round disc that rotates which rotates. I let run for 12 hours, but still no contacts are displayed.

EDIT : Adding a limit to agentdr8

I tested the "Tablet Talk" application but I can not pair it with my BT nexus 5. It seems that BT is not enabled, then it is!

If You haven't any issues with your headunit, you no need any upgrades.

Yes, regarding information, You have KGL. And if You need to upgrade the firmware use KGL images.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
You have a Klyde version (KLD), I dont know what is wrong with your bluetooth - I have a KLD and the BT app connects with my phone and gets accesss to its phone book. Is this what you mean by "syncing" ? After disconnected, the contacts are not on the KLD deivce, it only gets access when they are connected.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] 83martin83:
I would like to put a picture attachment, but I'm still too young.

My Nexus 5 (with MIUI ROM) is connected to my unit. No problem to make or receive calls. But I want to import my contact list from the second tab (contact list). Then I press the button at the bottom right (in the form of round orange arrows). And then, even after 12 hours, I still have the hourglass is running.

Is this because of the number of contacts? + 650. But it's not that much I think.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I'm using Tablet Talk in hotspot mode over wifi. I tested it briefly with BT but couldn't get it to work, most likely due to lack of the necessary BT profiles on the headunit.

Bit worrying. I have this unit hardly for 2 months and it has developed another fault.

When I hit speed bumps, it automatically changes to previous track / radio station.

This problem was not there so recently developed.

Anybody has this problem? Any solution.

On a bright side, a useful forum member recommended this TV antenna

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190697167225?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I have bought this. Its not great but does help. I have done few experiments. I get best results when I hold the cable in my hands. Since I cannot hold the cable while driving therefore done some more experiments. Best results are achieved if I run the wire from passenger side A pillar to the roof and the cable horizontally from passenger side to driver side and then mount the antenna behind driver side sun shade.

I guess max exposure of wire to the front of car helps (just a theory and no evidence). So, TV can be seen when I am in less built up area, stationary and when I move, signals drop.

However if I am in built up area, no hope of signals.

Just thought to share as it may help somebody in UK.
