Ok, I ll try re-attaching it, as earth was provided by the earth on the usb lead going to the power I cut it.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] gy_ro:
I guess the currentflow is peanuts, ie about 10milli Amps or so? The MCU just "sees" this 12V lead as a sort of 1 or 0 switch, like you push a button which is coupled to the 12 volts. So almost no current is drawn and you can expreiment with the smallest fuse you have first.

Broken Huifei Mainboard

Hallo, have trouble with my KDL radio, don´t know how, but i have shorted some wires back on the radio and now don´t listen bass, everything work except sound.

I attached some pics of mainboard. Can someone can take a detailed photo of this broken place and send me it, or someone have datasheet of this mainboard ?

Love this radio and need to repair it.

Thanks for any help.

Any other method??
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Try again, often when updating the first attempt fails, but the second works. If that doesnt work go into recovery and try from there.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] uncleg:
Pls. describe the fail message in details or attach screenshot

For automatic update under Android need to complete next conditions:

1. image files must be on gps sd-card

2. sd-card must be FAT32

Other method: goto recovery and choose mannualy source where your image files located. FAT32 is a must.

Dear,

you mean you attached a USB hub with a USB Wi-Fi Card?

If so, what hub and card did you use?

Is the hub powered by an external power adapter or the unit's USB port has enough power?

Thank you so much.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] uncleg:
Nope I mean, that integrated wi-fi module has USB interface and it directly connected to andriod module thru integrated usb-hub. MCU not affects to stock wi-fi module.

Should I try to uninstall and reinstall?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] ultradj83:
Got you.

Bye have you been experiencing the same problem?

We're not sure the cause is the adapter, maybe it is because of some bugs in the firmware.

Do your know how to change drivers or disable the integrated adapter and connect one external?

Tks!

That's a bizarre path I've never seen after a module has been installed. All modules should be in /data/app -- I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] uncleg:
I think this is not drivers bug, because all of usb-peripheral are unstable. And RLT8188 chips well known high heat emmiters while transfering big data.

Unfortunatelly I don't know how to disable integrated adapter, but I think when you connect the external one, you will have two switches in the wi-fi settings menu.

avin avant 2

Does the avin avant 2 fall under one of the manufacturers listed in this thread? I'm trying to decide which head unit I want to purchase. I really like the avin avant 2 but I'm also looking at the newsmy nu3001 and perhaps one of the huifei units. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a remote mic for these head units? Mine has a 3.5mm jack for plugging in a remote mic in and I am hoping that I don't have to cut into the motherboard to get rid of the horrible echoing that people are reporting on the other end with a decent directional mic. Any links and recommendations are appreciated.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
No, it looks like a WD8801 variant.

I d wait a few months if I were you, its been confirmed that some of the manufacturers of these units will be adding quadcore versions in the next few months.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] talroot:
Who is WD?

The quad core would be nice. It comes in the current newsmy units but it looks like those would take a little more fiddling to get installed and work the way I want it.

Thanks

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Who ? I think you mean what. The stereo you posted looks like a WD8801 variant, search for the thread on XDA.

We know the Newsmy and Ownice have quadcores, the units in this thread will also have quadcores soon, so I would recommend you wait until then.

I have sygic too but not on the unit but on my phone.

What can you not get it to work on HERE? for me it works fine i just cannot see the settings menu which is not a big deal but would be good as then we can set the Units, storage memory etc. I am going to play around with the DPI settings and see if i can find the right dpi for it to show the menu.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] PereVerti:
Settings menu is not a big deal for you, but how do you set memory location for downloaded maps ? I tried to set severals DPI values in the System menu (small, large), but anyone let me to see HERE settings :/

Otherwise I'm agree with you : HERE app works well.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kalle99:
Thanks.

I already use earlier fw, but the newer ones seems to have better sound.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] v1ks:
Weird thing is when i first got the unit and installed HERE it asked me where i wanted to save the maps so i had selected Internal Memory, as to be honest i dont have many APPS so using the internal memory wasn't a big deal and yesterday i had a thought that when had installed the HERE Maps for the very first time i did manage to access the settings menu with the default DPI. But then i had removed my unit from the car and when i reconnected it back recently, i rooted it and changed the DPI and tried to access the menu and i cannot. I even went back to stock DPI but still cant.

I was going to remove the application reset the unit and check to see if this gives me the menu but thats too much headache as i then have to reset alot of my settings so havent bothered as rest of my settings within HERE are fine.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] CARRisma:
As far as I can see, it's just the settings menu which is blank (probably off the edge of the screen). Also, it wasn't plain sailing going through the setup process where I had to enter details such as email address as the contents of the screen were too big for the resolution and there was no scroll bar, but managed to fumble through eventually.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] v1ks:
Yes it wasnt easy i had the same issue as my unit was not rooted and i hadnt changed the DPI but managed to set it up somehow. I have emailed the support team of HERE and have asked if there is a way of getting a fix, im not expecting much back from them as its not the application which is a problem. But lets see what they say.

Which unit do you have, Eonon GA5153?

Hu doesn't boot anymore

Hi all,

since this morning my HU is only entering the recovery mode: when rebooting it's getting back to the same recovery screen.

Yesterday evening was running like a charm and today it simply doesn't boot anymore.

It's a KLD MCU 2.41 (stock) with flashed KK 4.4.4 Coudu v4.2

What do you suggest me to do guys?

Should I try to flash only MCU? Both MCU and Adroid? Only Android?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Ah I see. Are you recommending the HuiFei units over the others because the software development is more mature at this point or hardware and other reasons? And yes, you are correct. With these it becomes more of what rather than who.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Sounds great, what info are you using for the app to know when to change it ?

Its usually referred to as SDVC (Speed Dependent Volume Control) in English :)

This one is a HuiFei one with the knobs - closer to your OEM one, more like the link to the one you prefer (which is an AN21-U variant and good, but not as good as the HuiFei, I reckon, although though I ve not had actual experience of either . . . yet !).

Like ANY car stereo your ll be able to upgrade your speakers and amp if you get one of these.

Pretty certain thats a HuiFei, what makes you doubt it ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] patmann03:
Great, thanks. Keep me posted. If you could post pics and let me know any issues you run into that would be great. Also, could you send the link of the unit you picked up if it isn't the one in my link?

Might be a good idea to blank out your serial number, being on the safe side.

Look what I came across just by accident:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iCartech-...S_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP&hash=item35d24dda71

I m guessing its AN21-U based going by the spec though they dont specify the processor type.

Lots of features like diversity DVB-T, DAB etc, like the way it all looks very stock Android - maybe theyve customised the built in apps ?

Its ridiculously expensive though ! They must be having a laugh !

Hi,

I've installed my Bmw E46 unit this weekend and everything's working fine but the internal mic. It's completely unusable. I'm not talking about it being quiet or catching too many car noise. It sounds with heavy static and distortion, making a conversation impossible even if you are shouting 5 inches away from mic hole with the car parked on a compleyely quiet place.

Anyone else experienced this? I'm talking with Kaigele sales people to see if they can find the cause.

I've also noticed the screen dims a little when you engage the lights. It would be nice to be able to configure how much it dims, or at least make it dim more by default, as it's still too bright for night driving.

You can get brightness apps, search this thread, the AN21-U thread, GooglePlay and the internet :)

Appears ill have some reading to do, as I'm having power issues with the radio, as it will only stay powered on when the key is on the engine on, and not on accessory, as on accessory it will stay powered on for all of a minute then will auto power off, and will stay off / sleep. If i open the car door it will turn on but then right back off in a minute.

Anyone else have this issue with their vw? Or do I have a funked canbus adapter

DVR Problem

Several days ago I bought USB Camera for this Car DVD. Like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/The-USB-DVR-Camera-for-Android-4-2-DVD/1878309302.html

Built-in app "Car Record" is the only app which can record video from this camera. When I try to record video in several popular Android apps (e.g. DailyRoads Voyager etc.) I receive an error like "cannot initialize the camera".

I suggest that MCU makes video recording directly, bypassing Android OS. And Android OS hasn't necessary libs for video recording.

Who knows how to solve this problem?

Seller http://www.aliexpress.com/ sent me a mcu and system update that could fix Amp delay in shut off after engine is off. But when I look inside the zip, modified date was 4/14/2014 for both mcu.img and update.img
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] dark alex:
It takes the speed from GPS and has fixed levels where it raises the volume. The point where it lowers the volume again is a bit different to prevent jumping when driving near the seam.

For example raises at 105km/h and lowers down at 95km/h.

There are two characteristics available - 3 steps and 5 steps.

Also you can double the intensity (it will raise by 2 instead of 1 each step)

But I noticed I must have a small issue as it seems it does not save the settings - and a layout issue...

As I told: Not tested yet :)

I will fix those issues today but I need to find out about the stream to manipulate.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Dareksa:
Yes, I also experienced this.

I'm afraid that this is a design flaw.

You can work around it! I use tasker to set brightness to 0 between 9p.m. and 7:30 a.m.

This is not a Huifei unit : the UI is not from Huifei and Huifei ( even in their WIN CE series) doesn't make android units for Mazda ( only one in WIN CE for old Mazda 3).

Dark Alex is there a possibility to set Loud On as default setting in your build of MTCMusic ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] dark alex:
Hi,

The LoudnessOption is not part of the Music App.

Further I did not change this App's code at all. I just touched the design files.

But there is a solution in the OP of this thread.

//Update:

Okay many users probably do not have the knowledge to turn the suggestion into reality.

I created a quick 3-line-app which should achieve that loudness is activated on boot.

Have no unit here so not able to test it. (That's why I posted GALA without testing yet :) )

Just install MTCAutoLoud.apk as usual. It is signed with my Play Store key

By the way: anyone has a full list of keycodes?

It's not up to us. We've had a few people post requests for individual device threads, but the mods (apparently) don't feel it's necessary, so we're left with a monolithic thread that is hard to find info, even with the thread search.

No button illumination

I'm in the process of installing a KYD unit into a 2008 VW T5. It required getting a CAN bus 1.6->2.x adapter (otherwise the unit wouldn't even switch on). I've flashed the latest official mcu (2.41) and android images that I could find, which has at now got me a working play store.

Everything else seems to be ok except for button illumination. When I switch the headlights on, I can see +12v going to the unit from the supplied CAN bus box (only with ignition on for some reason...). The display then dims but the hard buttons do not illuminate. I've also discovered that if I unplug the unit and plug back in the buttons briefly light up and even respond to the illumination signal for a bit during boot phase, then they go dead. I've tried changing CAN bus version from VW/Skoda (Simple) but that doesn't help.

Has anyone experienced this or got any ideas?

Well,

90% of the info people need is summarized on the OP, but it seems no one bothers to read that and there's people asking over and over how to root 4.4.4 or how to update the HU. I try to keep up to date and update it, but as you say with a thread of nearly 1000 pages it is difficult. Moreover, I try to add only "generalistic" things, not individual problems.

I also contacted all OPs of the other threads of HUs and asked them to sign the petition for a dedicated thread that someone made a few pages ago. But so far it seems there is no luck.

If you think that something else should be added to the OP, please send it to me with links and everything one might need (see structure of OP to have an idea), and I will include it there.

cheers.
