Can you send me the code? I would guess it needs signed with a private key, which I can try to get ahold of.

Did that video have screen of the KDL bluetooth application. I am not really liking the KGL Bluetooth app - Do we have any alternatives?

Thanks,
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Orannous:
Thanks. May I ask then why there are many TWRP moded builds specific to different KGL models? (There are also some generic TWRP builds with different resolution.)

Don't see the unit's widgets when using Nova Launcher
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Different button layouts I would imagine.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Orannous:
That's the problem, I assume. especially the small widget on the default launcher home that displays the current running app (its icon plus next/previous button).

I am not sure if there are any replacement widget to mimic that functionality or a way to access that widget in the new launcher.

I missed your message some how.

Many thanks.

By any chances does somebody have working link for IGO primo please?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Its those widgets I wanted to be available, wonder if they can be extracted and installed separately ?

The KLD launchers arent customisable apparently, thats why I was thinking about Nova. Or I spose another way round it would be to modify the xml of the launcher and customise it that way..

I've a question @agentdr8:

Is it possible to move the volume popup to the top of screen (with your XposedMTC)?

I'm using the GALA app and specially with a navigation app these popup is very annoying...
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Reptile-X:
Hi agentdr8, sorry to bother you. I have a question about time based dimming in XposedMTC. For first time I was driving over midnight and the HU went to higher set brightness value.

My setting is 19:30 starting dimmed value and 8:00 going to higher brightness value, exactly at 00:00 hours when I was driving the brightness went to higher set value, is there something I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Orannous:
I think you can download the iGO Primo apps & maps from here. I downlaoded them and it worked great.

http://android-zone.org/viewtopic.php?t=39020
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Well, the volume popup is a standard Toast with a customized layout. I could probably make the location and style customizable, much like the toast in Poweramp Toast. I would actually prefer if the volume popup looked similar to the digit-only style that Pioneer uses in their AppRadio units. I'll put it on the list for future stuff.

Yeah, someone else noticed as soon as the clock hits midnight, the dimming period ends. I haven't been able to figure out why though yet. I am pre-setting the end time to the next day, but it's possible the Calendar.before/after methods don't consider times that span midnight.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] tomato18:
I have this issue too. So for the meantime I'm using tasker to automatically change the brightness at specific time. Your GALA feature is really useful. Tq for your effort.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
Well, so far know System UI failure on KLD...

What I have noticed on my unit :

It always dims the screen to darkest setting on boot.

Always seems to start bluetooth app on startup

My streaming radio app plays cached content first, then stops, and then you need to restart it.

I side loaded Google Maps, but still have the issue of North being the top ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] parazit26:
This launcher looks good! A couple of months ago i have posted this launcher from Ca-Fi which also looks very good. PHOTO I have extracted all apps and tried to install the lauchner, but it didnt work and since i am not skillful enough to go deeper into the system, i gave up on this. Maybe you would be interested?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ptclabs:
To fix the google maps, erase what you did. If there are any versions of google maps in the system erase them.

make sure it is registered as a chinese tab (restore) if you used market helper. Install the one for the chinese tab from the play store. It will install right one automatically. it is 6.x works fine.

Bluetooth has no fix yet

The KLD only allows one unit to be paired it seems,. KGL allows multiple. As for always starting on bluetooth you would have to start a different system app to have it start with something else.

no idea about your other problems I have never seen them on either.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] xrapidx:
Thanks - not using market helper - I'll give it a go, do I need to root the device again after the reload?

Issue with dual can-bus on a Passat 2010

Good morning,

I'm new of the forum. I have an ES9401 device mounted on my Passat 2010.

I updated the firmware to version 2.02 but I still don't have the 2 way communication between the unit and my car. I would like to know what can-bus selection in the can-bus menu you made in order to have it working on a Passat.

Thanks for your help

Carlo
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] bhitman:
Thank you. The volume in digits at the statusbar would be great (also seen on youtube) but at the moment a new location of the toast would be helpful...

Another annotation relating to the dimming: start night dimming works correct. But when I start the unit on the next day, it stays on the night dimming and did not change back to the day dimming.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
Just a reminder, I believe that tts still isnt working properly with Igo & this head unit, the only tts that works currently is sygic unfortunately. Even tested with the latest leaked version and still not properly working. Think there was talks of having a xposed mod made, but haven't heard anything more on it.

I'm using sygic 13.4.1 & close+appsettings will adjust dpi to make the menus fit with little overlaping, haven't had any success with version 14 + appsettings adjusting the dpi.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Charles83:
you mean you choose VW&SKODA in the can-bus menu?

Are you able to use both side SWC? I'm still not able to use the right one and I do not have any audio menu on the car dashboard.

Furthermore visual indications of the parking sensors are erratic, except for the initial visualization which is correct. Then if I move the car, the situation depicted is still, except for some random change.

Is there any other experiencing the same problem with Passat?

Thanks

Carlo
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] coyttl:
You will be stuck with this, as the location chevron is USUALLY determined form the accelerometer sensors, which these units don't have. :(
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Orannous:
I don't really used the TTS (all voice on GPS disabled) but I have notied the TTS Pro setting is disabled on the settings. Perhaps that might be the reason.

Never used Sygic. Is it better than iGo? how do they compare and wondering if there is any link to download it especially for this unit.

Thanks.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
I prefer Igo over sygic, just find it more modible, and that it alerts sooner than sygic (for the life of me I can't find any way to change the alert settings in sygic)

Igo is fine with non tts voices, Im order to have tts you have the has a valid tts voice file, which I found not the easiest to source online for android.

I didn't find anything made specific for this device, just using what's found online. The igo that com's with the unit (or at least the one that came with my unit) wont work period with tts, it crashes out

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kwalsh24:
Here's a question, think its possible to make an app similar to what xposemtc does that will auto dim the audio whenever any GPS app is sending out audio? Then select the GPS program in the app to monitor? This may solve issues with igo & tomtom and their tts issues
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Yes, you can download an update image and extract apps from it. Problem is, all of the Ca-Fi apps are inter-dependent, and rely on custom framework libraries. Seems Ca-Fi spent quite a bit of time customizing 4.1.1 specifically for their Dashlinq headunits.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] parazit26:
yes but they are useless, unless you can modify them

Wich both sides? Only the left side of the steering wheel controls the radio.The right side is for onboard computer of the car. My parking sensors work perfect.And yes Vw Skoda simple is for our canbus.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I think the issue is only when you're using a non-Android sound source, correct? If you're running Poweramp/Playerpro/etc, and also using a nav app, those two should mix just fine, like any other android phone/tablet would. It's only when you're using the radio/dvd/line-in that the mcu needs to get involved in the mixing.

I don't know how you would detect that there's sound output on a separate av_channel while one is already in use. That's the job of the MCU.

EDIT: I threw the attached app together to gather the headunit settings surrounding the gps mixing. Let me know if the values aren't what you think they should be.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] coyttl:
Oh, wait - are you meaning the orientation of the *map*, or of the *location pointer*? :) I thought you were meaning the pointer itself (in which case, I don't ever remember seeing a setting for it).. for the map, yeah, I've seen that setting, though never used it myself.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
I don't think so. And I don't think it would be of use anyhow, based on the limitations. No navigation with offline maps makes them kind of useless IMO.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] makkan00:
Thanks mate. My vendor sent me a link as well which worked.

I have ordered huiFei and the company stated that they do not make it in 1024X600 resolution. Thats just for 7 inch din so had to cancel my order for 1024X600 screen.

Going for standard HuiFei.

Hi everyone!,

I have recently bought an android headunit with the same specifications than the headunit of the thread but I do not know whether its the same or not.

The unit is perfect. Is really full android but I cannot use the google now commands like "call someone" or "play artist" because it seems that the OS does not link with the default app of the contacts or the music. Do you have any idea about it?

Thanks in advance

Got it...mostly working

Hi guys!

So I got mine, got it installed, and it works for the most part. It's pretty nice being able to have all my music and movies available in my car for those times when I get to work early. A few issues though.

The main one I haven't been able to figure out is that there's a strange static that comes and goes using my mic. Tried the internal one, tried attaching an external one, both of them have it so I'm thinking some kind of electrical interference. It's driving the girlfriend insane when i'm talking to her via bluetooth.

Tried to set up my superchips vivid linq to tune my car from the radio...so far its a no go. The bluetooth on the radio sees it, but connecting prompts, then promptly does nothing after selecting yes. No idea why.

The other problem is that I can't seem to figure out a good voice control solution. What are you guys using? The idea of rooting something so expensive scares the pants off of me.

Thanks guys.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kavo77:
I am having the same issue. I cannot connect my OBD sensor or my TPMS Bluetooth receiver. These connect to other android devices. A galaxy s5 phone asks for their passcode (1234) but the head unit does not. Any help on this would be great

So, will thesedevice (klyde) would be a good device?

I keep on reading this thread but damn it is long :p

It is exactly the one from the datasheet in the first page so i guess this is good. . But is it a good device ?

Odb + phone works on bluetooth simultaneously?

Boot time ?

Radio starts fast 2 on start up .

A2dp

Steering wheel button works great

Radio works in Canada, rear view cam and good microphone for calls ?

And since this thread is starting to get old, is there any new/better device we should but now ?

Thank you for your help

Multi user

There was a post a couple of pages back saying that titanium backup pro restore reprogrammed the buttons.

This should point us in the correct direction of what is controlling them, and how to manipulate them better. It is not a app, but it is something.

There is something ti backup is copying that the second profile is not getting.

Anyone have any ideas? Guessing some kind of setting db/file as the second user also has a lock screen. The default profile does not. Much less the buttons not working. If backup pro is copying the button settings, we are missing a stupid file somewhere. It is also contained in the mcu file not the update.img. If backup pro can get to it. We can also.

Where would this DB/file be?

TiBu most likely restored the data for one of the system apps that it doesn't think is a system app (non-red in the interface). I believe Launcher is one of them.

I can try and go through the database files for all the system apps. It would just be strange convention to translate key presses that way though. Unless the keypresses get filtered through the SWC app before being passed to other apps. Hmm...

I had 1.77 HF and everything was working fine (BT, Wifi, LEDs...) . I do not see any significant difference with 2.03 HF besides the fact that now there's the bluetooth option in settings, (I still have to try calling though), I do not have SWC, and I still do not see any info on the dashboard screen, so no 2-way canbus in Audi.

Thanks for the help!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] george2350:
The only reliable way to get your answer is to request the seller to send you a screen image of the about screen where you can see if the MCU version is KGL, KDL, RM, GS etc... All the other answers will be a guess and as it stands if you read through this thread - your guess will be as good as mine or anyone else.

I believe it is KGL - I think AiRoad is HuiFei retail store on AliExpress.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] makkan00:
I tried to order 1024X600 and I was told that its not available.

That resolution is only available if you order 7 inch HU which does not fit in my car so I am stuck with standard unit.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] NeoIsrafil:
Huh...yah, I'm confident if i could get the password prompt to appear i could get the unit to connect and commence the messing with my car... as it stands im stuck with the girlfriend's phone as my only working connection...

I did notice that superchips has pretty buggy software and when i press the little menu button the radio offers it actually crashes instead of bringing up the manual connection options.

Still haven't figured out the mic quality issue. I can't help but think something isnt grounded...but as im more of a pc tech than a radio installer...I can't exactly troubleshoot the installation best buy did.

Still wondering if anyone got voice control to work (even just for phone number dialing) and if so, what software was used.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] MK6TDI:
Automatic power state not working

Hello all,

I just bought a HuiFei (KGL) Volkswagen-specific head unit and installed it in my MK6 Golf Manual with SWC and everything works except for the auto power state.

It does not turn on or shut down based on ignition state. This means its always on and drawing power (immediate on when I press the power and I can hear a slight whine when the unit is "off").

This is sad because it means the unit is basically useless unless I want a dead battery if I don't use the car for a week. :( Even were it not for the battery drain, I don't want to press power button every time nor do I want to worry about forgetting to turn it off.

I tried updating both the image and MCU to the latest but it didn't help. CANBUS seems to be working fine as my SWC controls work and the door-open display shows up on the screen.

There are a few extra wires coming out of the HU harness, including brake wire, but I have left these untouched. I also don't have radio antenna or the RCA harness hooked up.

Has anyone encountered this issue?

Edit: Solved!

In the wiring harness that comes with the HuiFei, there are two wires (red/orange I believe) with a connector in the middle. I hooked this up as I thought it was necessary but I guess it is simply for always-live power.

If you want power state to correspond to ignition state, keep these two wires disconnected.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Skitals:
Finally got my Klyde unit today. It's missing the GPS antenna and remote control that is supposed to be included. I installed anyway (replacing my GS unit) and so far it's like night and day. I haven't tested it while moving yet, but the radio reception issues seem solved. Solid stereo lock the entire time I tested, while the GS flickers in and out of stereo even when stationary. I also didn't experience any of the static/popping in poweramp/misc apps I had with the GS. Maybe my GS was a lemon, but so far I would say I recommend Klyde 100x over the GS. Everything seems to just work without tinkering. Even the "key press" sounds work as the unit appears to have an internal speaker.

One negative I did notice is fan noise. I believe my GS has a fan, but I've never heard it... maybe it doesnt work. The Klyde has a very subtle fan noise you can hear with the engine off/no music playing. Should not be audible at all it actual use, just strange there was no fan noise ever with the GS.

This Klyde model also has an 8" screen versus 7" on the GS (trade off being volume/tune knobs). Seem like that 1" makes a huge difference, I'm loving the screen on the Klyde.

I uploaded a new version of XposedMTC to the repo tonight. It should fix the midnight bug where the dimming would end as soon as the clock rolled over 12am. I also added radio preset learning to the preference screen. This is to save your radio presets and reapply them to the radio if/when the radio prefs file get corrupt. It works like this:

- Open Radio app and program all of your presets as you normally would (it handles presets for all bands).

- When finished, hit the home softkey and open XposedMTC preferences. Scroll down and enable Custom Radio Presets.

- Click the Learn Radio Presets item. You should see a brief toast message with confirmation.

Upon the radio losing the presets, it might start off showing all presets to AM 0Hz. Just hit the back button (exit out of Radio) and relaunch Radio and your learned presets should show up.

You have to swipe to the right and change which versions it shows you. The default setting is Global, and reflects whatever your global setting is for Xposed Installer (show only stable versions). The latest is marked as a beta, as I want some feedback prior to promoting to a stable release.
