I know, I am also based in Italy, and to be honest radio stations suck here. In 15Km you loose signal. RDS does not really work. I have traveled across France and Spain with the car, and there the problem is not so important and I think that there RDS does work.

REgarding frequency storage, I can tell you that only in the old versions of the radio app the stations were saved by frequency, in 4.4.x for sure they are saved by name. I would suggest you to really try coudu's 4.4.4 v4.2 or Malaysk ROMs. Also the latest MCUs. It really makes a difference compared to any 4.2.2

I had big troubles finding a proper antenna adapter for my radio. The one I got from the seller did nothing. After googling for a while, I realised It is a known issue with Fakra and ISO adapters. My original Audi tuner was much better than the one in the HU, even better than other original HU like Seat or VW. So, the difference is important. However, I am still happy.

But, did you really buy the HU to listen to the radio ? This is the least thing I do. Only when I am tired of listening to 30Gb of music... i may listen to the radio. And if you don't want to loose the signal, you can listen to your preferred station via internet by tethering with the phone. It's plenty of apps to listen to internet stations. I do that.

I use tasker to automatically start hotspot when the phone is connected by BT to the HU. so, you don't even need to bother to start/stop the hotspot.

Any tips? 836 Pages is a lot to consume and I have been reading the thread for a while now. Would be nice to have a Head Unit section in XDA
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Yes, if you read the other person's posts a few weeks back it is only Italy.

You need to email the manufacturer NOT the seller and you need to TELL them what the problem is and ask them to get their developers to fix it.

There is an app by the person who wrote the Car Service app for phone signal, think its called Remote Phone Status.

KR-7041 won't root

Hey,

I have a KR-7041 - SAIG. I got it about five months ago.

Rootmaster 2.1.1 does not seem to work on it.

I can't get it to go into recovery mode using all the published methods.

126 does not seem to work as the master unlock code.

Does anyone have any experience with these newer models for getting root or into recovery mode?

Youre right, that model appears to be an AN21-U variant.

I've got one of these cameras too. I haven't noticed the dropping like you have, but I've had no luck getting any other recording app to work with them either, with the exception of a couple of apps that never made it out of initial testing. It appears that these USB webcams basically are totally different than like a camera on a cell phone. I wish there was a better app too, as CarRecord is extremely basic!

I installed XposedMTC on my rooted 4.4.4 (Coudu's latest) and found my boot animation would appear as expected (while the deck booted), then about 15-20 seconds after it booted - while displaying the main screen - the animation would return and prevent any functions.

I was using MCU v2.20 and downgraded to v2.16 - but had the same result with both.

Anyone else see this? Resolution?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
What version did you install? That sounds like an MTCManager crash, but I haven't run into that in a while during development.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Us-Marshal:
I originally installed com.dr8.xposedmtc_v164_8feb05.apk, then tried

com.dr8.xposedmtc_v147_b88cf8.apk - same result with MCU v2.20. I only tried

com.dr8.xposedmtc_v147_b88cf8.apk with MCU v2.16, but got same result.

Possibly something with my MCU (hardware version)?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
It shouldn't matter what MCU you're on. Maybe the MTCManager from the latest KGL image is different than previous versions. If you can, try enabling the Debug option in the preferences, and then provide the Xposed Installer error.log. I should be able to figure out what's causing the issue with that.

Yesterday I managed to make DailyRoads Voyager to work. I downloaded the MTC apps uncompiled sources from this forum, and I studied the MTC Travel (Car Record) app sources, to look for clues on settings I need to set to DailyRoads Voyager, and I found them! :D You need to set in "Settings -> Video" the next values:

- Video Quality: choose Custom

- Video Resolution: choose 640 x 480

- Video Encoder: H.264

- Bitrate: Medium or High

- Frame Rate: High (30fps) (This is what it makes it work finally, as by default is medium selected, and CarRecord has it at 100fps)

- File format: mp4

I also change the settings in File storage, to save the videos on USB Storage (i don't know if this affects the recording), as I have a 120GB SSD.

Hope this will help anybody which has a camera attached to this HU.

Help

Hi Nir,

I just bought this unit, and i would like to mod the radio also for the same reasons as you.

But i'm not so handy, and my english issn't not so good. So some pictures will help a lot.

Greetings,

David
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jugi:
pictures please

Yes, for me pictures would be very helpfull..

Btw, is there anything else you could do to improve quality (smaller)

I have KGL unit with inbuild mic and external connector. it seems that these mics are in parraller?

Could i just disconnect the inbuild mic and use external? External mic voice quality should be better? Can i just disconnect the inbuild mic wiring?

I just would like to avoid any unnecessery mod, but with these pictures this could also be plausable.

Best, Jukka
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] devilsoft:
Ha, you're right! I just saw in the source...i didn't spotted that until now :)

I tested your code, and it's not working, but then I discovered that I need to put the package name (com.dailyroads.v) in front of the component name (com.dailyroads.activities.Voyager), so the correct command is:

am start -n com.dailyroads.v/com.dailyroads.activities.Voyager -a com.dailyroads.intent.action.START_VIDEO

The thing is that this command starts the activity, and I need to make it in background, without an active activity.

I found the command to start background video recording without activity:

am broadcast -a com.dailyroads.background.START_VIDEO -n com.dailyroads.v/com.dailyroads.receivers.BackgroundReceiver

@dsa8310 maybe you can help me with something else. I'm trying to figure out what intent is sent when the HU it's resuming from short sleep.

Sometimes HU is going into a short sleep, when I start engine (it's like my car is shutting down for a second, then the HU is coming back right away, but with some services stopped (like ViperFX, Car Service, etc), but the music player is comming back. Can I trigger somehow the returning from short sleep, so I can restartr those services ?

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

You dont have an Eonon unit - Eonon is not the manufacturer, they are just a reseller, you need to look in about device to see what version you have.

My Klyde is using the blue wire to power an antenna power injector and an external amp and it powers them both all the time with no problems.

Some units have 2 blue wires, if one is designated for the antenna the other should be permanent for the amp. When electric aerials were common this behaviour would power the aerial up only when the radio was used and will still work ok with a power injector as you only need it when using the radio.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

You dont have a Pumpkin or an Eonon unit as both are re-sellers, look in about device to see what yours is.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ftsur:
My unit is a Klyde unit. and it has two blue wires (one may have a white stripe). One marked ANT and another AMP. I have the ANT connected to my antenna power injector. I have the AMP connected to the remote / accessory wire for my external amplifier. I've tested it with a multimeter. When I am sitting at the home screen, no power. When I'm in PowerAmp, no power. When I go into Radio application, 12v~13v on ANT and AMP. When I go into Music application, 12v~13v on ANT and AMP. When I exit either application, I get nothing on ANT and AMP.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Thats a fault then, I dont get that behaviour on my Klyde, mine only has one blue wire though.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Us-Marshal:
Agreed that is must be a fault. I have a KLD unit with one blue wire that is 12v+ anytime the HU is on.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

I am using the same one. Sorry - sounds like a defect. I have one thought however - can you open the HU and see where the wires are connected? Since there are 2 wires, logically they should have different connection points, but maybe error building/wiring was made?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] koimr:
Just want to let you know I've done this and it appears to work as you said. I'm not having any issues even though it's Malaysk's rom (PowerAmp starts right away and the SWC keys are active shortly afterwards) but I will keep an eye on it.

thank you for the answer. How is the quality with the external mic? Is it the external mic that you bought additionally from keylo?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Dareksa:
In my case, the quality is poor.

Callers have told me that they had heard an echo and crackling noises, and my voice was very quiet.

Internal microphone was even worse.

One more note. Internal microphone was in no way attached to the panel. He held only on the cable so it can move from his seat while driving.

No, I did not buy this microphone from Keylo.

However, the microphone was checked with another radio and worked well.

Below is a photo the microphone which I use:
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] booroondook:
I suspect that your problem caused by the fact that the microphone socket on rear panel is not connected correctly. This socket must disconnect internal microphone's positive wire when external microphone's jack is inserted into it. But it doesn't do it, and both of microphones (internal and external) work together.

I solved this problem by physically cutting one of internal microphone's stalks and soldering of extra socket to resulting gap. Now I only use new socket instead of old one, and sound recording quality is good.

P.S. You must only cut a positive stalk of microphone, not a negative. You can detect polarity by Ohm-meter because negative stalk has a zero resistance relative to "ground".
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Dareksa:
It is very likely that this is it. I'll have to check it out.

I only wonder that many people have written about the fact that the internal microphone quality is good but in my case it is not suitable for use.

Even solder a new internal microphone and correcting it's mounting has not changed anything.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] parazit26:

thank you guys. yes i wonder too, because many people said its good. would be very cool if more people could report about their internal and external microphone quality.
