Which way does CAST SCREEN work under display-->cast screen. I want to play a video on my head unit and have it play on a rear monitor which has HDMI input in which i would buy a mircast(wifi casting) dongle.

Will it work that way, should i buy the dongle?? Or does it work the other way where the head unit displays what's on my android phone?

Using PPPWidget I get a connection but the browser says ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED. According to the Log of PPPWidget I get DNS.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] gazdaaa:
I'm using XMTC version of auto brightness and it's working like a charm,I really don't see the need for another auto-brightness-thing..

Instead, let's make something other, like for example correct audio matching with the rest of the system, particularly gps mixing between poweramp and gps app (radio and poweramp are the same level, but gps mixing with poweramp is louder). Or, find a way for deleting EQ presets and defining more of our own. Or perfecting the mtc-keys to have some gui and be able to launch activities not just packages.

Does anyone share these thoughts with me? :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
It should probably be noted that if you set the backlight level to 0 on some headunits, the screen will go completely dark. On other units, any value less than 10 and that happens. The default lowest value for all headunits is 10, so I would recommend that being the lower limit.

Or if you happen to drive through multiple timezones in a day ;)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] cocchiararo:
any chance you could fetch mtc-keys 1.4?

On another subject, is it not possible to control spotify with the steering wheel buttons? Poweramp works (i gues because of headunit service).

Hardware button mapping with an app

now after the big improvment in the malaysk ROM with the addition of power menu removal setting I think the next step should be an easy user friendly app to set the function of different hardware buttons to a different app or function

I know we can use mtc-keys to get the keycode for the button and then make the ini file

if we could have an app that makes the ini file by getting all the app names installed and let us chose the key code that would be great addition to this community!

Help! Bricked! Reflash

So I think I bricked mine ... KLD RK3066 800x480 (GA5163)

I attempted to flash with the latest rom from Malaysk ... after confirming update at the popup prompt, the screen went immediately black. I have tried several resets - attempted to get into recovery - and many power cycles (even unplugged from the harness). I have no idea what to do next. Help is greatly appreciated.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Shinshi.:
I have the exact same unit and have managed to safely update it. When you are trying to get to recovery mode, are you holding down the little button with a pen (the one just inside the GPS SD card door) and then hold the main power button (upper left hard button/dial), wait for 5 seconds, release the little button and hold main power button another 2 seconds or so until you hear a few beeps? That is all I have to do on mine to get it to boot to a recovery screen.

When you power on, do the lights on the unit power up, just not the screen?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xluisx:
yes, i know how to get into recovery. i ran cuodu's rom for a while and decided to try malaysk's. the unit will power up, but the boot screen never appears - nothing displays. i wait several minutes, but nothing appears, and the touch screen does not respond to any input. attempting to get into recovery using the reset/power combination will beep twice as expected but the recovery menu does not appear. however, when i move the volume knob it sounds like it is cycling through menu options.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Shinshi.:
I wonder if perhaps you are getting to the recovery screen, but just not getting anything on the display. I am at work, but when I am home in the morning I will check out the recovery screen on my GA5163 and see if I can hear a sound like it is cycling through the menu options. If it does, perhaps I can post some pics of the screen and which item is highlighted when it starts up. I believe the recover/update is the default and perhaps just holding down the power button once or twice without rotating it will make it launch the recovery/update.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xluisx:
thank you - much appreciated. that would help a lot

I installed the new Malaysk July 7, 2015 for for 800X480 firmware on my KGL - when it first booted I had 3G - then after doing the reset it was gone - and I can't get it back.

I also can connect to wifi networks - but the internet connection is dead - if I check, I am correctly assigned IPs via DHCP - even setting these manually - still no internet connection.

Anyone have any advice on resolving this? I seem to always have this problem whenever I try and move forward from the early stock firmware - the only custom one which worked with 3G was coudu's...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Shinshi.:
I don't hear any sound at all when I cycle through the options on the recovery screen. I can't post a screen shot of the recovery screen as I just found out I need to have posted at least 10 times first. I sent a screen shot in a PM.

I'm still new at this also, so not sure what else you could try. Perhaps the bootloader is an option, although I do not know how that works. If there is anything you would like me to try on my GA5163 to help you out further, let me know.

Hello,

I have a Huawei E3276s-150. I've set up modem-only mode on the dongle, then connected it to the head unit. It came online almost immediately after setting up the APN. I'm using Malaysk's rom. It didn't need PPP Widget.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] clearchris:
Nice! Did you change out the caps too? Or just a chip swap?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] pants001:
How did you set up the APN? I add one and it save and it vanishes...its always an empty list
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] :
Just the chip. the caps will be changed if any strange sounds happen. I wasn't able to locate the 470uF caps in the power supply that the datasheet mentioned. Only two 220uF. I think nothing would be damaged if the caps are smaller than the datasheet tells you.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] shadowfoxmi:
Hey Guys, I would like to thanks the contributors of this forumfor all the assistance I have received by reading the pages of this forum, in setting up my head unit.

I have a KLD 800x600 unit running 2.66v MCU and Malayk's june version 4.4.4 Android

I have three major problems that I have not been able to resolve from reading the posts here.

1) My system date keeps getting reset on boot. it goes back to 1/1/2000 8:00am or something like that every boot. I do have auto update date/time settings from network and gps and they do seem to work but it takes a few minutes to get updated. I'm curious to know why it gets reset; and I wonder if it's from a bad battery on the unit or if this is a software issue.

2) My radio presets keep getting reset; I do have XPosed framework installed and XposedMTC part of the OS image and I start XPosed do a classic install and reboots but none of the XPosedMTC settings seem to get applied including learning radio presets. It seems like I have something gone wrong with XPosed Framework install but I don't get any error and can't tell what's wrong.

3) More often than not, my wifi come up turned off on boot. I have to manually turn it on. Has anyone had this issue and/or know what's causing this?

I would appreciate any help with the problems stated above.

Thanks.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] anyuzo:
I had the very same problem for a while. At that time I was messing with my USB DAC, and there are 2 things I can think of which both could affect the 4G dongle:

1. Rebooting the unit with the dongle connected.

2. Installing OTG fix (needs root): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tauruslabs.usbhostcheck

Since ppl connect the USB modems with OTG cables the 2nd option might make sense. After I figured out the USB audio problem I've connected the modem, wanted to start PPP Widget, but the modem was already connected. It connects in 3G mode, but when I start wifi tethering on the head unit my laptop shows 30Mb down and 20 Mb up on speedtest.net. :confused: Anyway, it works.

It might also help if you make sure you can connect to the internet with your 3G dongle from a computer.

I'm installing a powered hub on the weekend - will see if it resolves it.

2. I would like to share my internet connection from my phone to the head unit via BT. Is it doable?

3. After installing the update there is a running service called Headunit 2.15, and in its description it says "RK3066 headunit service running" (picture), but I have the rk3188 chip. Should i change something?

Hello, I am quite new to the topic but I have been reading about it for the past few days. My RNS510 has been stolen, therefore I decided to buy an Android head unit.

I am actually looking for a 4.4 Android, 1024*600, Quad core, possibly 2Gb of RAM to fit a 2008 VW passat, do you have any suggestion? I could even consider a device with 1Gb of RAM.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] OneCheekyDevil:
It sounds like you are missing a power wire from the HU. There should be 2 wires connected - 1. The constant 12v+ coming directly from the battery, and 2. The ACC 12v+ coming from the ignition key (IE after you've put the key in and turned the car on).

You're probably missing the one coming directly from the battery.

If the above checks out OK, then I'm not sure, but if the HU does have a back-up battery internally that keeps time/date/settings in memory, it may be time to get it changed. Others that have opened their units might be able to chime in and correct me if i'm wrong on this one.

GPS issues

After changing my amp IC and updating to the latest KGL5-2.55 (soundmod by dark_leo) MCU and Android version my GPS stopped working. In the GPS monitor it shows just one satellite with around 20 (red) signal quality. Sometimes for a few seconds 2 or 3 satellites are received. Rechecked the antenne cable and solder points. Looks good to me. 3.3V voltage supply on the gps antenna. The behaviour is the same with the antenna disconnected or connected.

Any hint on what to look for? May the external antenna amplifier have issues or is it an internal problem. Maybe ESD damage I did during soldering to the amp IC???

MCU versions 2.53 and 2.47 tested, reset everything. Nothing changed. Is it okay during flashing to see "mtckey aborted"? It does mtccfg and mtc"flash" (or whatever it was called) successfully.
