Hi Angus,

Thanks for your answer, I have tried this and this is not the issue.

I do not have an issue making iGO run in the background, but whenever it is running in background, GPS signal is lost.

If i press "hardware home" button or screen home or swipe and select another application, iGo will run as a background application ok, but when it is running in the background, GPS is turned off and I get "GPS signal lost" message.

I think this is a "feature" of KitKat to save battery. Background tasks do not enable GPS.

I have tried apps like "Tracker booster" - This is supposed to send "keepalive" type message to GPS to stop it from shutting down, but they have not worked either.

Any other suggestions please :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] zaphod2:
this is a well known problem in IGO. you need to enter it in the sys.txt.

[sound.announcer]

gps_signal_lost = 0

gps_disconnect = 0

and because of TTS. I used to SVOX Classic and got the vote increased to 140%.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] zorantoma:
You need to download the latest Igo for KitKat and ad in sys.txt [background navigation=1]
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] angusc:
Did you mean increase SVOX volume to 140% or did you mean a i-GO sys file edit?

It is easy - just go to !about device" and find out if you have a KGL, KLD, RM, JY, GS or MD unit, then ONLY update the MCU to one from your manufacturer, but you are free to update the Android version to whatever one you like.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] markastor:
Hi!

Suddenly my KGL stopped working. It does not got any power at all. So I got it out from my car, and realised that a pair of cables isn't connected (see attached picture).

I connected them, but after that, I think my canbus stopped working (no auto rear view camera at reverse - at reverse, there are no video screen, I can see still the launcher).

The rear view camera is working, if I plug it in the video in plug, I can see the picture at the AVIN app.

I had KGL4 2.09 MCU, I flashed the 1.77 one, but still the same.

Any idea how can I test the canbus decoder?

Is that cables are needed to connect at ordinary case, and have they any relation with the canbus?

OBDII

Dears,

anybody in difficult with OBDII bluetooth version?

I've been trying 3 adapters, all reported based on ELM327 v1.5, that is a fake, in the truth it should be a v1.2 .

Have a look to the video:

[YOUTUBE]8jfQw6M1Ybo[/YOUTUBE]

Bluetooth connection is ok but Torque doesn't connect get response by the adapter.

Sometimes switching a lot of times the MAC address in Torque's ODB interface settings it gets connected and when it's connected it works perfectly.

It works perfectly and connects with no matter with my smartphone, too.

Of course the car system works perfectly with any other bluetooth devices.

Nothing changes using other OBD apps.

There're some strangenesses using this car system:

It never forgets bluetooth devices no more present, it shows all of them in the available devices section of bluetooth's settings page.

There's a blue circled OBD icon in the notifications bar and I have no idea what it means, maybe just the OBD device connected to bluetooth.

I've been trying any different settings in Torque, nothing to do.

I have no idea how to get Torque's connection logs for to check what's going wrong.

I'm actually getting a ELM327v1.4 USB adapter to check if it works.

Any others reporting this problem?

Thanks!

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] MasterPrenium:
Those cables are used (if connected) to by-pass the canbus box to power the ACC line (to start the unit).

Maybe your canbus box is dead, you can try open it and check if something seems to be burned inside.

BUT as you say, you also loose the display of parking sensor etc ? But Rear Camera is working great and auto enabled when reverse gear is engage ?

If yes, I think the canbus box is still working correctly, but you have a canbus problem. What is your car ?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] markastor:
Auto rear camera is not working, I can only see it if I plug in another plug and start the AVIN app.

Without those wires connected, my KGL isn't turn on.

So my canbus box is dead. :(

I hope the seller could send me another canbus box, I don't want to loose warranty.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
If you both take time to read the thread your ll find out that its a known 4.4 problem and people are working on it.

If you want help making it work, ormartin, pm webdude12 as he has a unit with 4.4 installed from the factory and he maybe be able to tell you what his unit says re the "message asking for the key to pairing".

Alternatively you could simply use a USB to OBD lead which is faster than bluetooth to OBD and more secure, plus doesnt have the associated problems bluetooth to OBD has, or downgrade to 4.2, or simply wait til some one sorts the problem out.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] edding7:
Before i open my unit i ask for Bingo (KGL Worker) and THEY STOPPED the production of 7620G.

That stop me to put me to open the unit and make all soldering changes to avoid microphone problems.

For me the real pain was to fit the plastic frame to Serie 1 BMW becouse 7620G came with 178mm instead of 180mm.

So, Does anybody knows a good free hand set that could replace the bad microphone of this units?

Could parrot ck3100 be compatible for phone calls and voice comands of google now?

Thank you!

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] edding7:
Try to understand what you read before post.

I just ask if anyone has a external bluetooth handset, especially the parrot ck3100. Im not asking about to solve the mic problem, becouse all the mic problems are related to a bad electronic design.

If you see my previous post i was involved in the electric modification of bias voltage of a electrec microphone, even posting a part of a chip datasheet of our units. So believe me i've read ALL post about the mic issue.

So who are making unnecessarily long the thread is you.

Help with Root

Hi all - I finally got my new unit installed. I was told in this forum that it is the JY unit. I have attached some screenshots (edit: updated google doc as well). It works great overall except for some minor issues.

I tried rooting my system. Once I clicked on the app the second time, it presented me with like a new app install screen (I couldn't understand, everything was in chinese). I thought since the app is in the middle of rooting I just pressed the bottom right icon to continue, once installed it again showed me another new app install screen. At that point I terminated the app.

I installed root checker next and it showed my device has root access. I was able to change the logo by copying some custom logo files in the logo folder.

My issue is that now I have two apps showing up in my system (see screenshot- last two icons). Once I restarted the system after I terminated the root process, it presented me with another couple screen in chinese and after that I never saw those screens again. So now since I have root, is it okay to get rid of those two apps?

Sorry for the blurry images.

Hi has anyone had problems with there can bus adapter? My adapter is causing my cars ACC to stay on.

If I plug the adapter in with the key in the off position everything is fine. Then when I turn the keys to ACC the unit starts as usual but when I turn the keys back to off the car ACC power stays on. This happens even if the full android unit is plugged in. It appears to be a problem with the CAN bus decoder. Does anyone know where to get another?

New apps from 4.4.2 version

Hello!

I have this unit, erisin toyota universal:

(not allowed to post links, model ES9603A

I noteced german forum discussing about using 4.4.2 version aps with 4.2.2 firmware.

(no links allowed), put some pictures as attacgement.

Could some one test these and confirm what do work and which doesnt with 4.2.2 firmware as my device does not yet have the 4.4.2 firmware.

Do the widgets work?

These have very nice and clean layout :)

Best. Jukka
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] bhitman:
Thats from me. I've tested all the MTC-Apps with a "5" or "4" at the end in their names. Widgets? I don't know. No need at all (Poweramp-User). All the apps are working without any issues in KGL Android 4.2.2!

The device must be rootet!!!

Make a backup of the existing files and rename them to MTC*****.apk.old in system/app/, restart your radio and

copy the new ones to system/app/*.* and

give them the rights "0644". Restart the radio again.

Then replace the new app(s) (ex. MTCRadio) on your screen...

If you are using XposedMTC, don' t forget to "detach" the system-apps (ex. MTCMovie).

I never tried the launcher because I use Apex.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] samsingla:
Two questions:

1) I have OpenWrt on my router and I have bumped the signals all the way. I park my car about 30 ft away from my home but the unit still cannot find my router. My phone, S5, picks up the signal just fine so I'm thinking it's something to do with the quality of the wifi adapter on the unit. Is there an adapter that I can use (preferably in the car) to pick the faint signals.

2) When I went into system settings, under 'Application', I can see a setting for CanBus. The drop down has multiple options, and I selected Honda Civic. After I turned off ignition, the unit turned off but the buttons continued to display the back light. I held the power button for about 5 seconds and it booted me into recovery. After restart, I turned off the CanBus setting. Does anyone know if this means that the unit does have some sort of CanBus support? My SWC are not working right now because I didn't install an adapter but I would really like to know what these options mean? Any other Honda Civic owners who were able to get their SWC working without an adapter?

Thank you for your time.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] RyanS2000:
The device is a Eonon GA5167 running 4.2.2 MTCB-KLD-v2.02. Today was my first time booting it up and playing around with it. Overall I'm impressed with it for the price @ $359. It's a 100% plug-n-play unit made for Toyota Corolla but it's also a direct swap for my Subaru BRZ. I've never seen this type of unit before where the installation plugs are already built on to the harness, literally a plug n play swap..

Few things I'm trying to find answers to:

- I rooted my device and placed the launcher found here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57108718&postcount=5513) in the system/app folder, I set permissions accordingly, and it is not using the new launcher, its still using the old one. I do not have a "system / priv-app" folder as his instructions state.

- The Navigation button on the stock launcher does nothing, while every other button launches something. Can this be set to launch Waze?

- I cannot set the LED colors. The RGB selector comes up but theres no 'Set' or 'Save' button. How do you update colors? This appears under 'Element' in settings. 'Element' becomes visible after setting\checking option "RGB LED" in factory settings"

- Screen mirroring is not working

- The microphone (built into face of unit) seems on the low side, is there any way to make this more sensitive? My car has one built-in to it, maybe I can connect it to that instead?

Now the bad: I heard what sounded like a loose screw inside of the unit when I shook it slightly. I was able to wiggle the piece out of one of the vents and found what's pictured below, next to the quarter. I think this is what the screws screw into on the top of the unit that say "PLEASE REMOVE SCREWS PRIOR TO INSTALLING" on a red piece of paper\cardboard (believe it secures DVD tray for shipping). There were 2 screws and only one of these things inside that I could hear so who knows. A little scary since this could short out something inside and\or cause fire.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] agentdr8:
Welcome, fellow BRZer.

No priv-app on Android JB, only KK+.

This is set via the Settings->GPS->GPS Application. It should work fine with Waze.

Not all units have multi-colored LEDs, regardless of what the listing states. KGLs and some Klydes can do RGB, while most GS units are 1 or 2 colors only. Try playing with the sliders in Element. You may find that you can only increase/decrease the intensity of a single color. To save you just hit back.

You need to install/configure AirPin, which should be included in the OEM app.

For the mic issue, you may want to read the past few pages of the thread, where it speaks to separating out the internal and BT mics by adding an external mic port directly to the BT adapter. The OEM mic in the BRZ isn't the greatest, so I'd recommended to just get a 3.5mm one from a Parrot CK-series.

That is a standoff. I don't recall seeing one of those in either my GS or KGL, but the shipping screws are actually screwed through the DVD unit, to prevent the laser head from moving around. Might make sense to open it up and see if it's supposed to attach to something.

update to my issue of the screen flashing ....

Turns out it has nothing to do with iGo... Or any app. When I Brake and use my Right Turn Signal the unit starts to flash the screen like it is opening another app but it doesn't.

I am sure this has something to do with my CAN-BUS but it does not do it when the Left turn signal is used and it does not do it with the Right Signal and no Brake and Brake and no signal. I have tried to reset all of the Steering Wheel buttons to blank but it still does it...
