[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] MayfairDROID:
I am not going to argue the reasoning behind you, or others, suggesting the dispute route. From my reading, I saw a few instances where it wasn't clear to me if the issue was caused by a user flashing the wrong MCU, or if they flashed the proper MCU, and it didn't work. I simply wanted to make a point to state that if the user screws up thier system by applying the incorrect firmware or MCU, it is their responsibility to fix it, not the manufactures or re-sellers. Now, I highly suggest reaching out asking for help, but filing a dispute is not in the spirit of what that process is set up for.

Again, I wasn't saying you guys did anything wrong, I just wanted to state my thoughts on what I was interpreting. :) You guys are doing a ton of good work, so please dont take my comments as if I am attacking you or DSA. :cool:

I am interested in this to upgrade my Joying RK3066 but I am concerned because I have the 1024x600 screen resolution.

Everyone's opinion welcome. Should I do it or will I be disappointed?

or
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I dont wanna argue either and your point is a very valid one, its just that no one has broken their system with software, at least not yet.

Flashing the wrong MCU will not break anything and it can be reversed by flashing the correct one. It was thought initailly that wrong flashing WOULD break things, but its now been extablished that it is reversable. There was one Italian guy who flashed the wrong MCU and could not flash the right one because he had no power button and could not get into recovery, after flashing adding a power button and the correct one, his MCU was restored, but then he had another problem that was not his fault either. And you could argue that there SHOULD have been a power button so he COULD get into recovery. Believe me I would not recommend someone open a dispute if they caused the problem I dont think DSA would either.

I ve been on this thread for 18 months and I have NEVER seen anyone break their unit as a result of flashing anything incorrectly, things like the high res/RK3188 bug and some units having defective RAM modules are within the remit of the seller

I dont think you will be disappointed at least not when Klyde sort out the problem, I m still waiting for the software update from them.

Its up to you whether you buy and then wait til Klyde sort it, or only buy when its been confirmed that they have sorted it.

Sweet! Can we start setting up sub forums now?:fingers-crossed:
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
I m still not sure that would help much until we have a main HuiFei forum, then the sub forums would be HuiFei relevant, currently any sub forum would appear in the general Android Headunit section (which I didnt know existed till just now !) so could apply to any unit, which is certainly better than things were before (think we were in "general" which included loads of stuff and was massive), but would mean trawling through threads that may or may not be relevant.

Still, we have easily the most number of views and replies - maybe in another 18 months we WILL have our own forum !!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] MayfairDROID:
I was thinking of a Pure Andoid subforum, as that is what these units are billed to be running. Then a sub form for General (any and all device questions), ROM's., and a sub for each manufacture. From there, it might be easier to manage.

MX MCU Help please!

Hi,

i'm one of the few with a MX MCU (MTCB-MX-V2.21). How on earth can i get a update of my MCU? I contacted my seller but they can't help me. I found a MX mcu in the google drive but is a earlier version (v. 2.16). Who uploaded this file and were did he get it from??

Can some one tell me what MX is and if there is a way to get contact with them? I searched all over the internet, and i found some MX products, like google tv setupboxes, chips etc. Is that the same manufacturer as my MCU?

I also have the problem that i cant change the buttons on my steeringwheel. The buttons are working fine, but i can't change them in the steeringwheel option. In my MCU canbus = no. When i change my canbus to audi a3/a4 simpel my steeringwheelbuttons ar not working. anymore. Any idea?

I install your rom but i put Malaysk settings apps.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] i.draskovic:
Thanks, I have solved it.

I do not know why it was happened, but i did not update my MCU. One time after reboot I was stuck in Recovery. Than I have contacted seller and she has send me wrong rom and wrong MCU. I have "KGL4" but she sent me files for KLD device. I have try that also, but it does not work. Than I have downloaded all MCU's for KGL v.2.53 and I have try one after another. With KGL3 it works, but original was KGL4. I do not know why and how, but yet it works.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] fredmuch:
Thanks, so my resolution is 800x480 and I wolud like to uprade to 4.4.4 vesrion, is it possible for my device? Please show me which files is for me? And i would like to know where is reset button, i can find the reset button. When a go to recovery mode, i must press power button and reset button, right?

thanks to much
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] i.draskovic:
My experience:

When unit is flashed wrong MCU unit boots automatically in recovery mode, so you do not need to press power and reset button. If you have them, they do not work. With volume up+down you can scroll options, but you can not select them, because power button does not work.

You only need to attach USB keyboard and than you can select option using Enter key, so you do not need to solder extra power button.

The performance difference is quite noticeable. The 'blurry' images (most noticeable in clear type) are annoying, at best. Something you have to decide for yourself.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] webdude12:
While red would be amazing, I would be more inclined to do a one using shades of grays, so that all the main interface is a standard color. For awhile I was looking at doing a rom that would be flashable through TWRP, so we didnt loose all in our /data folder with each new version. But the updates are coming out way too fast, and I do not have time in my day to day life to keep up with them.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
That option is enabled by default. Actually, if you just click on "BUILD" on the first start, will generate your original untouched script :)

I added that option, because in some situations it may be handy. For instance, we choose to run poweramp on startup/resume, but what if we play a video, and poweramp is inactive ? On resume from sleep, PowerAmp starts together with the Video Player. It's just a situation i'm thinking at, right now :) I also love apps with many configurable options, and no matter what options anybody set in the app, will not affect the HU functionality at all.

What's up guys?

I'm not new to modifying Android devices, as I've modified plenty of phones in the past, but I am new to modifying these Android Head Units. Please go easy on me if these questions have been answered in the past! LOL

I recently purchased the Eonon GA5153 for my VW and I'm looking to upgrade the unit from the stock 4.2.2 to 4.4.4 and have a couple of questions.

1. As of right now, I'm considering Coudo's 4.4.4... Are there any known issues I should be aware of before upgrading?

2. I see there is two resolutions available. 1024x600 and 800x480. does it matter which resolution?

3. When upgrading the Android version, does the MCU have to be updated at the same time?

4. Is there a recommended MCU that I should use with Coudo's version 4.4.4?

5. Also, the current Music and IPOD apps on the stock OS, do not allow for seeking (Mainly looking to be able to fast-forward) through a music file. Is there anything out there that will allow this function?

About the device:

MCU Version: MTCB-KLD-V2.20

Model Number: S07

Andriod Version: 4.2.2_23122014

Kernel Version:3.0.36+ Root@ubuntu #1507

Build Number: rk30sdk-eng4.2.2 23122014.08:59:24

sorry if any of these questions have been covered or answered in the past, but I couldn't find the answers I was looking for.

Thanks in advance!!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
download any Android 4.4.4 800x480 for RK3066 and put the update.img on your sdcard (external_sd) and wait for the dialog to popup to ask you if you want to update your android.

DON'T put any MCU (mcu.img) if your device is already working ok now.

External mic

Hi,

Does anybody has a recommendation for an external microphone for klyde unit?

A link will be great.

Thanks.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I think it might be quite the undertaking, since MTCCanbus supports so many different adapters, and they all use different commands for displaying information, and I don't even have canbus in my vehicle, so no way to test it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
Actually it's a great idea to to put special markers or comments on each item. Maybe some warnings will be helpful. I plan to check that install-recovery-2.sh, so it will be compatible with Malayk roms too.

I think that tomorrow I will post a new version of the app, with some improvements and maybe someone here will add some services to the list, so I implement them too. I can put a warning when trying to uncheck the loop option, so the user is warned about that. That loop thing is really helpfull and thats why the option is ON by default, and from tomorrow will have a warning message when putting it to off. I stick with your script, but the point of the app is to let the users choose if they want that or not. For instance, I always remove the tomtom fix , because I don't use tomtom, so to make it run faster (not sure if this fix delays the script, but you can help me with that so I can put a comment in that item too). You're welcome to come with more ideas, so we make a really nice app here for users who doesn't have any clue installing this kind of scripts.

1: i would suggest you use one of dsa or malaysk newest images instead, since their builds are based on the latest firmware. (coudu hasnt updated his in a couple months)

2: yes, if you use a low resolution image on a high resolution unit, the picture will be to small for the screen. and visa versa

3. no

4. anything before kld 2.49 works fine with coudos roms

5. there are plenty of alternatives to the stock music app ( poweramp just to name one)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Thanks but I meant a forum on XDA :)

I m familiar with MX's TV boxes, never thought they were behind the "MX" versions of these units, you might be right, I ve not exactly spent a lot of time googling it to try and find them. Have you tried to find their email address and ask them ?

Nice work devilsoft ! Can you explain why the need to early start Viper ? I thought it was not so much an app as an audio driver, that the app just controlled the driver and that as it replaces the standard audio driver ANY audio on the Android side would use it. Mine seems to start early enough, I ve never had any problems with it starting (getting to to work at first certainly !). Or have I missed something ?

Have you tried in one of the holes at the top right ? One looks like its the mic the other like its the reset hole.

I think the problem here is the type of buttons you have - I ve flashed the wrong MCU and my power/vol knob still works, but all the other buttons are messed up, I guess on some of the units it may not work out that the knob still works, or you may have no knob at all so cant control things to get into recovery. I have not had mine go into recovery with the wrong MCU though.

The blurry problem is only temporary !! :)

Hello. Firstly you do not have an Eonon, you have a Klyde, Eonon are simply re-sellers.

Why are you considering coudu's ? There was nothing wrong with coudu's versions, but he hasnt done one for a long tim,e, DSA now does pretty much the same as coudu, so using his would mean you get a more up to date ROM, with, for instance a shut down timer, though youd also need the latest MCU for that.

It does matter which resolution version - use 800x480 if you have an 800x480 screen use 1024x600 if you have that resolution screen.

You dont have to up date the MCU and Android and the same time, though having the most up to date MCU is best for most people. There is no recommended MCU for any version, pick which ever you like.

No FF or RR in those apps unless you modify the code.

This is not good advice devilsoft, he should use the most up to date MCU and only change it to a less up to date version in the extremely unlikely case that the MCU causes a problem. :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
Thanks [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] :) Well, v4a service needs to be started. I notice that, if i'm not starting the v4a service, the effect is not there.

Regarding MCU advice: an older MCU will never harm if you install the latest Android (4.4.4 in this case). In a worst scenario, just some canbus functions will not work, but the basic functionality will be there. This user has a double-din universal unit, which from what I know, has a very limited canbus (or none). The best option, is, obvious, the latest MCU, I agree. From my experience, all MCU versions works good with my unit (older and newer), and the only differences is with two-way-canbus.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

Yes, you did :) But it's a good thing...I can add endless number of services. The more, the better :)

Also, let me know when you update the script, so we have the latest version in the app :)

Front and Rear camera option with switch.

G'Day All,

Just thought I would share what I set up in my 4WD in regards to the reversing camera setup.

I used a couple of diodes and a 3 way switch, ie. ON / OFF / ON switch.

When the switch is in the centre position, the head unit is as normal, when in the top position it enables my front camera (mounted just above my winch), when in the bottom position it enables my rear camera.

I don't have mine wired to my reverse on my gearbox, but It could still be wired to engage the rear camera when put in reverse if needed.

Anyway, here is the pics with some diagrams of how I wired it up.

Enjoy!

I like to know that too, specially the TomTom Go from the play store since I paid for it for a year, I am running it right now and I like to have it on my unit if I upgrade to 4.4.4.

[MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION], could you enlighten us in this matter please?

Like other guys said, I like the red them idea too, and willing to donate for it, if TomTom works otherwise I don’t have use for it. I really like the new additions on Malaysk's FW, especially because I use the GPRS and I like to turn off roaming and such.

Tomorrow I will receive the new amplifier IC, since the old one is blown, unit is in 10 pieces on my electronics bench now, but I already wired up a powered USB hub to avoid current draw from the unit, I also soldered a WFI antenna connector like I said before and today I received a WFI antenna.

All this for larger downloads, couple months ago I had to much issues to download 350MB for TomTom and I want whole eastern and mid Europe on TomTom, that’s whooping 6GB so I hope these things will solve my problem.

This is the WIFI antenna and the USB hub on right:

Android 4.4.4. May 21st, 2015 - KGL & MCU V2.53 - 3G modems

finally

work (at least the two I tried) with a SIM card without a PIN number, but it seems that trying to synchronize contacts from an Android phone prompts for synch and then turns off the Bluetooth module in the HU for a second. The module then turns itself on again. iPhones work without a hitch. I have tried two phones on multiple devices and the same thing happens on both.
