Yes VocalizerEx is an 3rd party TTS engine, in iGO I have one TTS voice (Dutch Ellen), on the Android unit there are 4 TTS voices, the voice that is selected on the Android unit will handel the TTS voice, so in iGO selected ' Dutch Ellen' and on the Android unit selected 'Dutch Xander' the voice will be Dutch Xander, on my unit I can clearly hear the TTS voice, the volume of the radio go's down. depending on selection "switch or mix".

Collect all HU things like downloads, advices, tricks and more

Hey,

i'd like to create a website for the head units. So i like to collect all downloads from ROMs to App-Mods and anything else around Head Unit.

Additionally like to make some articles or tutorials for modification like the mtc-keys and the ini-file (howto) or any other modifications that possible for a head unit.

In short, this categories I like:

+ Download-Section

+ Blog Section for tricks, modding instructions and news

+ Overview new head units and technical informations

And that all in more languages. So the user have the choice, if he like to read the article in german or english (and if available, more languages). A central site for head units.

What I need? Some people that have fun about this. I have the server, i can install any script (i can scripting anything, but there are enough CMS to use) and maybe i need some translators.

Please write me a message if you are interested. Don't write over quote. It's to confused at the thread.

I am having an issue, whenever I press the MODE button on my steering wheel to change the radio to my music app, I hear a beep then the animated car logo screen show up and stays on until I turn off my vehicle or do a hard reset. The music and everything else stops working but I can still hear beeping when I press buttons. I have tried disabling all the xposed mods 1 at a time and nothing has worked yet.

I was trying the Malaysk ROM 17 October 2015 for 1024X600 RK3066 with KGL v.2.72, and it work fine... but couples days ago, they lights are all the time on, but few days after updating was working fine...

I have Canbus reader B200 for Mercedes benz, but If I select it on factory settings, wheel buttons not work, and I cant find any APP to check or do nothing... it is normal? why I can't see any MTC app if they are installed... are all of them in the shadows?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Try disabling XposedMTC. On some units, the mode switching hits a NPE, and causes MTCManager to crash. That whole functionality is being re-written from scratch.

Good luck! Going through 20,000+ post will take a long time, but if someone has the motivation, they would be great. The best solution we've come up with is using the wiki; even then stuff is missed

By default the unit will start up with the last running app in focus

What could be the problem if it does not. I am sure that my wiring is correct. It does keep all my settings correct. It will keep the radio correct, just netflix and my music that is on my micro sd card. That would be my main concern not keeping the music where it left off on the card. I assume it has something to do with unmounting and mounting the card. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

I reckon you could be on to something there..

But I have been discussing with the XDA mods on how to split this forum away from Android Auto and into its own thread..

Then have it divided into subdirectories as in ..

General..q&a..ROMs..apps

We are the point that hardware and software mods need to be given credit for the work done..

And personally I can only see this thread becoming a monster...as it is now..
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Jaihoidundso:
I think, if we have some people that help us to sort posts and FAQs and anything else, it's a work for a few days and then it's complete. That's the "hard" part, because it's more than 2000 pages. And the future updates for downloads, news..., is then the "soft" part in the future.

I know the most people think now "NOO! NEVER". That's too much... But alone for me it's too much. So I need some helpers, that pick up all relevant articles and many more. I think, that's a very useful for everyone. So if anyone has time for this to do that with me, they can write me. The script is working now, but at the moment it's empty (what a wonder ;)).

So, however, we will see!

kgl mic mod

Today i have done mic mod.

I done it using my way. As you see in picture I prefer to cut pin 4 instead of remove c32 (much easier for me and easiest to fix if something goes wrong.) Then I use speaker cables shielded enough and solder pin4 + to the back of the module and pin5 - to the front of the module (I forgot to take picture before close and install to car so no photos to show). Now sound is perfect. I use my old pioneer microphone.

So, I want to write everything for all the donations that have been made. I want to say thank you all for your assistance in May 2015, when I had a car broken into and stolen everything, including radio. For 7 days, with your help, we collected money and then I bought exactly the unit on RK3066 800X480 (which now stands in the car). Now almost all the collected money to buy home RK3188 1024X600 (missing $ 60) and I think next week it will order. I think I'll be ready to go the fifth Android.:D Everyone who helped for a common cause - THANK YOU !!!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ktibor69:
Could anybody make this modding for the MTCBluetooth app:

Now the bluetooth app works on my HU this:

1. If I push the bluetooth icon, the sound of the poweramp or radio

etc. stop: When the bluetooth app starts the bluetooth app close all

app that give sound, like radio, poweramp and etc.

2. If I have incoming call the bluetooth app doesn't close the apps,

only mute the sound of the running (radio, poweramp) app. This process

is OK.

I would like to be an app modding, that in the 1st case the app only mute the sound of the

running (radio, poweramp) app, not close all.

And if possible the mute process starts only when I push the green

calling icon, not the pushing bluetooth icon, because I would like to

listen to the music while I'm searching for name in address book.

Hey, I 'm trying to set up a mtc-keys.ini by myself, too.

I've got now the key codes for the buttons I want to change, but I dont know how to write it down.

Is "app_xx" the command for the button you want to use? And then you just have to write the name of the app like it is written in the Android directory?

Maybe some one can tell me the commands for my "return" and "power" buttons?

I don't have 1024x600 device to test on, but if you could send me screenshots of every page of the MTCBluetooth app (including with contacts list and call history), I'd be happy to try. You test, make screnshots again and I think we could finish in a couple of turns.

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gijoon.pkgnameviewer to get the actual correct name of the package.

I'm using JetAudio with Malaysk ROM and I have a small problem. Start the program and sounds the song, but if there is any notice of the program RadarDroid radar or any other alarm system; JetAudio short playback and restart it when you just notice.

I've searched JetAudio-settings and cannot find any parameter that can be modified to correct this problem.

Does anyone know anything about what I am talking about?

I was using this but keys are not responding. DVD button opening dvd default player ans not MXplayer pro.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] halloj:
What happens if you are running Jet-Audio in the background of e.g. radar Droid. Because I'm using Waze in the foreground and JA

in the background and the traffic camera warning sound of Waze lowers JA.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] robertut:
You need to enable MTKkeys in Xpose framework, and reboot.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] antvic:
Yes, precisely. It happens with any application that plays a sound while JetAudio is running.

I must say that the GPS monitor mode is disabled.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] 7floor:
The bluetooth application serves not only purpose of making calls, but also acts as a Bluetooth A2DP music player.

Being another player is exactly the reason why it takes over other players - it just does what the other media applications like media player and radio do once launched - swithch the sound input to their own.

This way, it is normal and expectable behavior for bluetooth app as a media player application, so nothing to change here.

PS. Some philosofy follows :)

What's illogical here (in my personal opinion), is why the telephone application has been joined together with music player into a single application. I understand that it is because they both are about bluetooth, but this doesn't make much sense for me than the fact that their purposes are unrelated. Consider any smartphone from this perspective - wouldn't you be surprised if your smartphone had a dialer in the same application as the music player? I would! :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hisma:
does joying have warranty? ask to see if they will do a warranty replacement. You said you have not done any hardware modifications so this should be an easy warranty justification.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hisma:
agreed. This makes no sense to me either. My stock car infotainment system had BT audio and phone calls as separate.

I still would like someone to tackle the ability to make calls based on voice commands using the synced phone book. Again, my old car infotainment system did this. You said "call <contact name>", and because the phone book was synced via BT, it sent a command to the phone to dial that contact. How hard would this be? Right now I just resort to picking up my phone and dialing contacts directly, as using the HU contact list while driving is too difficult.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Sasha0574:
Oh please, don't even go there... Total waste of time... But I'm starting to get it why the big names in the industry are not making units like this... And I think if this one goes south I'll just forget about these chinese duds and go for an Alpine unit for music and just use a damn tablet for navigation...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] dadd10:
Probably not :( just a thought as you are technically buying the unit from within the EU and it should be returned to them not china.

Hopefully the techie guys on here may be able to help you out and get it into recovery.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] robertut:
Not necessarily. The app could start without switching the sound input at start. It would be enough to switch the sound / kill other apps when the user either actually starts playing media via bluetooth, or starts calling. The User Interface by itself, not handling yet any audio, has no real reason to kill other apps sound...

So tell that Chinese programmers. Every stock application on start switches input to its own, and on exit switches to the "System" input.

After that nothing helped not even China is replying anymore.

The other topic tried to help me and figured out this would be a hufei radio.

I havent done anything to it. No updates or other. Just used it normally.

They sended this radio in a carton with bubbles in it so i have no serial number or something like that.

Is there someone that can help me out ?

I spitted the whole Winlink/Ownice Android head unit - 4.4.2 topic and realized that i was in the wrong topic :/

Working on it for 3 days nothing got solved.

I'd really love get recieve bluettoth song details (in mtc app), phone signal strength (in statusbar), phone battery level (in statusbar). Perhaps an xposed app could intercept, or maybe we need modification to bluetooth stack or protocol. Sure I can get similar working with tasker/autoremote, but I'm hoping for a native solution (phone side) instead of 3rd party. There is a bit of a problem with how bluetooth is handled though in that the android system itself doesn't see it properly (eg in Tasker, unable to detect if bt is connected)

It's all above my paygrade though :(
