is it possible to insert a Button to change the Equalizerpresets in the radio app, like mediaplayer and change the main color of the apps like buttoncolors?

there a way to raise even more the brightness of the screen?

some file editing system?

Hi guys!

First of all, nice to meet all of you, I´m new here ;)

I want to buy a radio-nav from Joying and I have two options for do it (sorry I can not post external links yet):

This one, with RK3188 & 16Gb memory:

NAME on aliexpress: Quad Core 1024*600 2 din 8 " VW Android 4.4 Car DVD player for GOLF 5 Golf 6 POLO PASSAT SKODA CC JETTA TIGUAN TOURAN EOS GPS 3G

Or this other one, with RK3066 & 8Gb memory:

NAME on aliexpress: 1024*600 2 din android 4.4 vw car radio Audio dvd Player GPS For Volkswagen GOLF 5 6 Bora JETTA B6 PASSAT Tiguan SKODA OCTAVIA

Both of them with Android 4.4 and, i think, with the same characteristics.

In your opinion, what is the best opcion? Is the CPU RK3188 better than RK3066? Witch one is newer?

Thanks in anvance guys, and very noob on this topic :(

To be honest - brightness only makes so much difference. The big problem with this unit is it's sensitivity to sunlight. I installed a Vividshield HD Reducing Glare screen guard - it's a Matt screen film that has made a huge difference to the Glare during the day

Hi

I just received my head up unit, I bought it from e-bay. I've been reading a little info from it and i think its HuiFei, it was sold unbraded. The specifications are:

Model Number: S07

S/N: 000D18A123B1

MCU version: MTCB-HA-V2.73 Aug 13 2015 13:38:34

CPU ARM coterx-A9 @ 1.6GHz (x4)

Memory 1024Mb

So i was wondering how could I install google play store to this device? I was assuming that it would have come pre-installed but I was wrong. Do I have to root my device so that it's possible to flash custom rom and gapps? Is this the way to go or is there a another way?

I tried to add google account to the system but it keeps giving me an error that says unable to connect google servers, internet works just fine.

Also a noob question what is a MCU and what does it affect to if i update it?

GPS Navigation

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

I lost the original Android System few days ago.

I bought my GPS Navigator from Aliexpress one year ago :

CPU Dual Core Cortex A9 Rockchip 3066, 800x480 resolution.

One week ago my Navigator worked good and then in the next day I couldn’t get access to anything. I lost everything and the GPS was stuck on the first screen (see the pictures).

I can see just the first screen with : Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean/ multi-media on-vehicle/ Navigation System

I don’t have access to anything else.

I didn’t get the chance to look before what kind of MCU I have because I didn’t expect to have these probleme and now I am looking to reinstall the Android.

I tried to put my GPS device in Recovery Mode to recovery the Android software but also this didn’t work.

I read this post and I understand if I want a new Android software (custom), I have to put on my original GPS SDcard the ROM : update.img (Malaysk update 4.4.4 800x480 RK3066) and the MCU : mcu.img ; but my question was how can I find out what kind of MCU I have because I don’t have access any more to the Settings screen?

Am I alright or I am on the wrong post?

Thank you.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] JEMShoe:
I have a 2013 N7 as well; when I read how many people had problems after updating to Android 5 (lollipop) I held off (still at 4.4.4). So yeah, officially released Android does not mean it will run or run well on older hardware even if Google or anyone else claims the hardware will support it. That, unfortunately, is just a historical and painful, frustrating fact.

Cool.

I just wish the manufacturer(s) would provide more information about the MCU interface so that apps can be written for these units rather than modifications of apps.

I realize this is a car radio so I am not trying to load it with the same apps as my phone or tablet; I just want a safe interface--mainly not touching the screen while driving if possible (I'll touch screen when the vehicle is stopped, like at a light) while switching media, playing from a list and changing volumes. To do this I want to use the steering wheel controls or the physical HU's buttons or knobs the majority of the time.

>people had problems after updating to Android 5 (lollipop) I held off (still at 4.4.4)

What is this fascination with having to have Android 5? It does not do anything really that would be useful when using it for head unit purposes.

Android 4.4 is one of the most stable and widely used versions in the world. It is probably the best choice for something as specialized as a head unit or set top box etc..

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Reptile-X:
Nectop, I have standard OEM setup so there is no sub and amp but other than that I am happy with the sound quality.

Hi Kramer, In pictures of the seller the information from the reverse sensors and AC works, since I have a Climatronic which doesn't have display option even for OEM radios, so unfortunately I can't confirm this, I also don’t have back-up sensors, but there are some guys on VWvortex and believe it works on their car, but you have to look in to that for yourself since I didn’t pay attention to details.

About the centre cluster display (MFD as VW calls it), the sellers advertize about dual can-bus adaptor but it does not work, it won’t show song names and radio stations in de MFD cluster, I did try to activate some settings with VAG-COM (vcds) but only thing that works is the buttons on the wiper stalk for OEM music player to go next or previous song. I can confirm that the CAN-Bus adaptor works but only to radio and not from radio to the car, my back-up camera works when I put the car in reserve without connecting any wire to reverse light through can-bus. I did contact to seller about this MFD issue and they are looking in to this, when there is an update I will be warned.

I don't have a MFSW (multi function steering wheel) but again people from VWvortrex confirms working MFSW buttons. I am on vacation now, but when I come back I will try to install a MFSW if I find one for right price. Even if there is a problem with the MFSW there are some great apps specially made for this unit in this thread, you can use one of those apps.

I believe I am the one of first guys using this unit in a MK6 Golf but my Golf is unfortunately only Trendline model, so there are not many options in the car. I do have high end MFD since my car is a Bluemotion and that’s it. My car is a MK6 Golf Variant by the way, better known as Jetta sportwagen in US.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Well, that answers that question then, at least with VW cars and HuiFei units.

I wonder if kwalsh24's new CAN inetrface sorts this - does you MFD show stereo info ? Do the HVAC controls show on the stereo kwalsh ?

Whats your car again ? Is it an Audi and with factory amp ?/

All it takes is a Google - "Acodo android" gets you this link :

Quotes are really getting f*cked up now, whats going on ? !
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] saifbarry:
It will work but you're going to have to power it on every time you get in the car and then power it off when you get out. Something I learned the hard way. It gets annoying really fast. I sold my 3G/wifi router and bought a 3G usb dongle instead. Works much better.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
I just traced the wiring diagram off the radio itself & the stock harness & labeled the new harness that I got off eBay, ad my radio has a wiring diagram on it. The only thing I didnt use where they key1, key2, rx & tx lines. I just capped them off.

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

My car is a VW, no factory amp. You can get canbus units that do thr MFD and all the rest, however my axxess unit doesn't do that (its only a cheap $20 unit) and my car doesn't have all the nells n whistles on it so I didnt require the hvac info.

I think the whole 2 way canbus is still a work in progress, as this canbus I replaced was to do that, and it didn't, and my last radio was to do that and it ddid the same, didn't work.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Ah right, we better wait for CAN compatibility then, its not hard, Torque does it, wish they d hurry up !

Just remembered your vehicle, its a Transporter isnt it ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
No, its a 09 Jetta tdi, if they were to ever update the canbus box that comes with the units then great, but I don't see that happening.

It solves the main annoyance I was having with the radio, so I'm happy, I myself never used the mfd to display the radio info so it wasn't a concern for me. So it could be a solution for some.

I can snap a photo of the wiring diagram that's on my radio if anyone wants it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
That's basically what I'm trying to avoid - I don't mind getting a dongle, but I don't know what will work.

The one supplied by the seller doesn't work - its completely dead, lights up when put into a PC, and then dies. The other day it was lit up continually by the headunit, but doesn't do anything. (I tried their wifi way of getting it to work)

I have a old E220 which gets detected by the headunit, but shows no bars signal - and I can't find Windows 7 drivers to see if it actually works.

My next option is a Huawei E3131 speedstick, but again, don't want to spend money not knowing if it'll work.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] saifbarry:
I think any Huawei 3G USB dongle should work.

Initially I tried the old Huawei E176g USB dongle which I had lying around. It worked as soon as I plugged it in. It even worked connected to a USB hub. The only problem I had with it was on the interstate highways where 3G coverage is not ideal. It would stop working once out of the city limits and then start working again perfectly when back in the city.

Thinking its probably a signal reception issue since I have great signal on my phone on the highway, I bought the Huawei E5336 hoping to get better coverage. Coverage was good but having to turn it on/off all the time was no fun.

Finally I got the Huawei UltraStick E3331. It works but not as I expected. It presents the HU an Ethernet connection. I don't get the 3G signal bars. Instead I get an Ethernet icon on the status bar. To check if it's connected or if I'm getting a signal I have to use the browser as its acting like a router. Coverage is good enough but it does disconnect at times.

I didn't have the stomach to spend any more money on this thing so thats where I'm at now.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
Haha... Thanks, those are all the issues I'm trying to avoid, I'll maybe try get the E220 working again.

Also, may try to use a 3G dongle (cheapest place for that?) but what I am really interested in is side loading XBMC. Has anyone tried XBMC on one of these units?

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Skitals:
My hotaudio unit arrived today. It was 6 days from the day I placed my order to delivery, including a weekend and time for my payment to process! Quickest shipping I've ever had from China :good: No manufacture info on the box or labeling. The quality control sticker does say hotaudio, though, with the same date marked on the other seal.

I hooked it up and most everything works out of the box. One glaring problem... with "Key tone" enabled in the sound settings (which is was by default) I get a horrible static popping sound through my speakers with any button press. When I turn "Key tone" off, audio quality seems fine, no popping at all.

The unit came with a single fakra powered antenna adapter. My car has two antennas, a dual fakra am/fm antenna, and a second single fakra antenna I believe for gps or sat radio. To my surprise the radio works when I hooked up the antenna adapter to the gps/sat antenna, but it has kinda poor reception (stereo audio indicator flickers). I didn't hook up the power wire on the adapter (I don't believe it's a powered antenna), so maybe that would work. But to be safe I ordered a dual fakra amplified antenna adapter. I am assuming I can get power from the "Ant" cable on the rca radio harness.

SWC control also worked, plug and play. I guess it's through the canbus decoder, since I didn't hook up the key1 and key2 wires.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I can take a look at adding controls for Playerpro. Right now the mod auto-pauses the music app (if it happens to be Poweramp) when switching to radio or another source on a different av_channel (except for Nav). Do you know if Playerpro responds to standard media button keycodes? Or are there custom intents like Poweramp?

EDIT: Nm, I found that it uses the musicservicecommand intents that a lot of players utilize. I'll add them in to the next release.
