That's what I'll be doing and hoping that my internal aerial doesn't block the dab frequencies.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Tumke32:
i did the same with my audi a4 2005 wihout any fm / dab splitter. My car uses a window mounted aerial and yours?
[MTCB Hardware Development] D3LTA:
Wavesink support dead or what?

I have a audi a3 and would try dab tuner with internal aerial... what kind of tuner you suggest??
[MTCB Hardware Development] Vitalit:
hello, i would try to use DAB with my Joying HU and Original Antenna (VW Golf 5 Variant 2007) is it possible?
[MTCB Hardware Development] Tumke32:
i use this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/111791889428 and i have this one http://www.aliexpress.com/item/ROHS...-T-RTL2832U-R820T-Support-SDR/1669005639.html

The first one has FC0013 chip and is way more sensitive than the R820T. With the FC0013 the reception is most of the time in the green stripes in wavesink. But its unstable. Sometime when i have a green reception the sound just dissapears.

The R820 has less reception than the fc0013. In wavesink i usally see the yellow stripes. But it has a more stable reception if the signal is good (in this case yellow stripes in wavesink) But the recption of the FC0013 chip reach much more further than the R820.

I live in the Netherlands and the dab+ level should be good enough. But still with both of these dongles there are area's were i have no coverage. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i connected the dongle to my original window aerial i don't know. I'm still looking for alternatives because i think the wavesink app sucks. I wish there was a dab+ box with separate app for my radio like KLG has, but there isn't any.

Hello.

I am new and I can not paste link yet.

I am using Vauxhall Vectra C , there is original DAB antenna on the roof. What device should I buy to start using DAB radio ?

Thank you
[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
Buy this device: http://m.ebay.com/itm/111791889428?_mwBanner=1

And use Wavesink Plus app.

I would like use original aerial from my car. There is another socket not like this one like on picture you posted. There is FAKRA
[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
I have two fakra (female) connector in my car. I use only one via splitter for FM and DAB.

I bought these adaptors:

And 50 ohm koax cable male-male comnector.

Are you sure you have DAB aerial?

[MTCB Hardware Development] laci1:
In my original unit I can choose FM/AM/DAB soo I guess there is DAB aerial.

I bought Android unit from Pumpkin and after that I had to buy this to plug in my aerial to new head unit.

[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
I have also linked adapter. You have to plug the fakra connector of the DIN-Fakra adapter to the SMB splitter.

The second connector of the SMB splitter goes to the car aerial fakra connector via SMB male -SMB male adapter. The last connector of the SMB splitter goes to DAB device via TV PAL- SMB male adapter and koax cable.

[MTCB Hardware Development] laci1:
Lots staff to buy to connect it as I would like. ;) Do you have DAB aerial on roof in your car ?

I guess you have conected everythink like you wrote in post above , can you tell me how it is working ? Can you attach some pictures or maybe small video ? Another question is where you live ?

King Regards.
[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
Read back to my post: #56.

I have Ford Mondeo 2011. It has rear window mounted aerial. This aerial availables for receiving of FM/AM/DAB broadcasting. I only replace the aerial amplifier to FM/AM/DAB amplifier. Now the reception is excellent.

I didn't make any video from construction.

I'm living in Hungary.

Is it possible to watch DVB-T Television on the Joying Unit with this dongle?

And is t possible to connect this to a USB hub for use of USB-stick playback?
[MTCB Hardware Development] Psy87:
Which adapter did you buy? I'm going to do the same.

Got a Kenwood DAB Antenna installed with SMB connector and want to connect it to the MCX of the Nooelec stick
[MTCB Hardware Development] Tumke32:
I bought this one https://www.carjoying.com/car-accessories/dab.html I'm still waiting to receive it. I think the app is better than the wavesink app. We shall see.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Psy87:
SMB MCX Adapter !
[MTCB Hardware Development] ramtech1:
When u get your unit can you post the app so we can have a look at it. I wonder what chipset it is?[emoji12]

Thanks.
[MTCB Hardware Development] PijusBrowarus:
I just bought head unit for my Vauxhall Insignia. My car already have DAB radio hardware. Does them head units support this kind of hardware? If not is there a way to connect it? Also did anyone try to connect external car screens?
[MTCB Hardware Development] michael08071984:
Hello. I bought this Adapter at Ebay: Delock Antennenkabel HF SMB Stecker MCX Stecker

Greetings
[MTCB Hardware Development] Psy87:
Thanks, I found out already :) but since its not in stock I had to combine 2 adapters. But also discarded this solution. I will now try to use my factory DAB Antenna.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Tumke32:
I received the product and connected it to the aerial delivered with the product. I placed the aerial in front of my windshield. I drove true a area were the reception with my RTL2832U dongel normally was pretty bad. Right now i didn't had any drop out of the radio signal (with the aeral behind my windshield!!) I want to connect the usb dongel to my windshield aerial, so that needs some testing. Today i going to drive to my work, im curious how the signal will be. Normally i have major drop outs on my way to my work with the RTL2832U dongel(s)

Conclusion so far: It looks like a good product but it still need some testing. I will keep you updated.

btw: i dont know wich chipset it is. I'm not going to open the case, it from aluminium and it cost me 55 euro's.
[MTCB Hardware Development] ramtech1:
Can u post the dab+ app??
[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
I found this nice app:

I try the app with Android 4.4.4 with RTL2832U dongle, unfortunately the app doesn't connect to the RTL2832U dongle. The app was written to another chip.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Tumke32:
Yea i tried that to a time ago. It only works with two dab solutions. The First one is the one in the link from Joying. You can find the other one on the witson website
[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
What is your experience: what is the difference (sensitivity, sound quality, drop out) between two DAB solution with similar aerial?

RTL2832U dongle+Wavesink Plus vs. Joying app+dongle (? chip)
[MTCB Hardware Development] Tumke32:
i don't know, i bought the one from joying because i can connect any aerial on it i want. The other one is a dab tuner and aerial in 1 piece.

Right now i'm very confident with the one from joying. I drove to my work today and the reception with the original aerial was great. I'm waiting for a pigtail (connector) to connect it to my car aerial. Hope to test that soon.
[MTCB Hardware Development] ch_swat_89:
Link from Aliexpress doesn't work. Can you send it again?

At the moment, i'm not very happe with the wavesink solution...

Will these usb dab+ sticks also work on other units ? Mine is a kgl with 4.4.4 Malaysk rom.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Tumke32:
Yes, i have a mx not a joying. It works on any Android Device, even on my telephone with otg kabel
[MTCB Hardware Development] docurley:
My Joying came yesterday but had to use there arial as my old setup using Wave software was not great so I downloaded the new software hoping it would work with my old dongle but no joy. I plugged in the Joying and the new DAB software worked a treat just not the pictures I see in the pictures posted but then I had only used it for 10 min.
[MTCB Hardware Development] macca017:
This app works with the Klyde DAB+ box.

On Aliexpress a few sellers show the same screenshot of Sydney Australia radio stations.

And, they state that the DAB+ Box only works in Europe and not Australia.

Hard to work out how they got the screenshot of Aussie stations when it don't work here?? :confused:

---------- Post added at 05:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

Anyone using the Malaysk ROM with the Joying USB Unit?
[MTCB Hardware Development] halloj:

[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
Did you feel difference (sensitivity, drop out) between RTL2832U dongle+Wavesink Plus and Joying app+dongle solution with similar aerial?
[MTCB Hardware Development] Tumke32:
it depends on which rtl dongel you use. But overall i think the joying dongle works better. The app is~not great, but you can control it with you steering wheel buttons which is great and safe!
[MTCB Hardware Development] VirgilRyan:
fast delivery and FM/DAB splitter

Is there any website where I can get the USB DVB-T Dongle with RTL2832U & FC0013 with fast delivery? I already looked on Amazon and Ebay but al the providers are in Asia with delivery times up to 20+ working days...

I will use this USB with FM/DAB(+) splitter, anyone experience with this solution? I hope it will work for me...
[MTCB Hardware Development] masterhacka:
Hey there!

I have a problem with the DAB app. If you set presets, you cant change the stations. You can only hear one station. I am using the original Pumpkin DAB Box with the original app. I hope you can help me.

P.S.: I am using newest Android 5.1.1 Version
[MTCB Hardware Development] Taz145:
Massive bump but I copy and pasted RTL2832U R820T into aliexpress and found a tuner for less than £5. Cheaper than the other options here.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Konst80:
Hi I'm using the combination of RTL2832U dongle + Wavesink Plus and generally it works pretty well. Unfortunately the Wavesink Plus is not really integrated into the car android system. For example, if I push the hard button for radio the FM App will appear. (a) Can I replace this action with the Wavesink Plus app. (b) Further there is no direct possibility to control the app via the steering wheel. Is there is solution for this problem?

Or is the only solution for requirements (a) and (b), to use the app which the USB DAB dongle provided by the manufacturer of my car android unit, like Joying DAB+ USB?
[MTCB Hardware Development] Konst80:
I have bought the "USB 2 Digital DAB+ Stick XTRON" which is perfectly working with the OEM DAB+ app and my Erisin Unit. It's possibly to control this app by the wheel buttons. Also there reception of the "USB 2 Digital DAB+ Stick XTRON" with the provided antenna is much better than the RTL2832U dongle with the provided antenna.
[MTCB Hardware Development] v1ks:
Hi all

ive read all 12 pages on here and wanting to get better Radio on my Eonon GA5153 model, running Mal's 4.4 ROM. I was given an improve Dual Fakra cable from the supplier but since ive had the unit/new cable the radio has not been up to mark. In some areas it will work OK but most times whilst driving the signal will fade in and out constantly so ita really pointless so i tend to go online radio or mp3's, but sometimes u just want to listen to radio nomrally like i did on the RCD 310 hence me posting.....

Having read the threads here i see many going via the USB DAB options......my only question is will my current car Aerial (VW MK6 Golf (2009)). fit one of these usb devices as the connections are different..if yes i guess i would need to get some sort of a adapter? If not i guess i will need to get a DAB aerial and mount it somewhere in the car....

Also anyone here from UK have managed to get it working properly, i understand it wont be 100% but if its better than my current setup im happy to spend the money..

Ive attached a pic of my current Aerial cable and the back of my old RCD 310 - which im sure wasnt a DAB unit. So i am not sure if the current aerial i have will block the signal if i got one of the USB dongles as i understand its for a normal AM/FM connection and most probably placed Horizontally too.

it would be good to know which DAB device and aerial to get for the UK (london region).

would be happy to hear back from someone ....

Hi, I purchased the Joying usb DAB unit for my Pumpkin head unit and a stick on window antenna( i think Halfords do them) and it works fine for me and i live in a pretty rural area of North Wales.
[MTCB Hardware Development] jaytc2003:
the halfords stick on aerial is actually not too bad and only £3.99. I still have poor radio reception though and DAB is not much better but at least with the aerial I can actually get a signla now. I am going to play around with placement, I may actually buy another and take the power box of it and try to incorporate it into my normal car aerial. (vaux insignia)
[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
I have these connector too in my Ford Mondeo 2011. Your aerial system is diversity. The diversity aerial system (use for FM) has two aerial and each aerial has connector. One of them is main aerial with FM/AM amplifier with DC power input and another aerial with FM amplifier without DC power input. I think the second amplifier get the DC power via aerial cable from headunit.

I use only main aerial now. for the DAB and FM via splitter. I have to build in the DAB/FM/AM amplifier instead of FM/AM amplifier, because my manufactured back windshield aerial good for DAB and FM reception.
[MTCB Hardware Development] v1ks:
Hi thanks for this information. Eonon provided me with a DAB unit below (after lots of arguing with them) with the DAB Aerial which i have to connect to below device and i have to mount the aerial on the window. Also the Aerial needs 12v power via a ACC cable from the unit but i dont have this cable on my unit so couldn't really fully test this unit. I did try without the 12v connection but the signal was poor so only managed to get some station but signal was 1 bar.

my question is can i connect the Diversity Aerial system i have already to the device below, via some way i guess? of course i will need to mend things. the DAB aerial they have given is not working well since i believe its not getting the 12v power. (im waiting for them to tell me how to fix this)

http://www.eonon.com/Accessories/Other-Accessories/V0054.html
[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
I don't think that the eonos HU hasn't 12V trigger cable on the back. I have this 12V cable on my joying HU, I use for on/off the active subwoofer. Search for the cable 12V.

Yes, I connect to the HU the main connector of the diversity aerial system. I can't use diversity feature, because the HU (all android HU) doesn't support the diversity aerial sy.stem.
[MTCB Hardware Development] GaMeR64:
Hi guys,

Have been trying to get a good DAB+ adapter and good software for quite some time now. Have bought some DAB+ boxes and sticks to test out.

First I tried this box in the hope it would work because it seems to have a good (Shinwa) tuner. I knew it was not for all Android Headunits but my rear of the radio was identical to the one for this box. Sadly it didn't work. It looked like the nicest solution (metal case, good tuner).

Link: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...my-store-android-car/1803439_32572564778.html

Next, the NooElec sticks... I placed an order from NooElec.com so I was sure I would receive genuine NooElec products. I bought 2 sticks. One with a R820T2 tuner (nice looking, metal casing) and one with a plastic casing with a FC0013 chipset.

I also bought Wavesink Plus which looks really nice but has (at least on my InDashNet unit) some annoying issues.

- At every start it asks for driver permission (could also be an issue with the needed driver instead of Wavesink).

- It's starts with all the stations viewable but starts at "Unknown Station" so I have to scroll to my favorite station every time I start the car. This is getting very annoying.

But at this koemnt my biggest issue seems to be development is really stopped. I have also emailed (as several others) the developer but no answer. And few days ago the forum also seems to be spammed with p0rn posts. Not that I really care about the €12,99 but it would have been nice if it got updated again. Or maybe the developer could Open source his code so other people can make it better.

I also checked several other apps. All the apps seemeto have there own quirks. For me I personally I would like to have the following app possibilities :

- Presets.

- Active development or at least some updates once in a while

- Channel names and Logos

- Landscape mode

One thing that I came across but have not tested yet because I need to stop building my pile of DAB+ tuners is a tiny Micro-USB OTG tuner from a Chinese company. It has an app that has favorites, landscape mode. Really curious if some one tested this yet. I think it will need cutting the antenna and soldering a fakra connector to it but I am curios of the app. I installed it but doesn't go further because of the missing tuner.

The company that makes this is Full-Join company in China.

Link to some info and picture: https://m.nl.aliexpress.com/item/32756027409.html

Sometimes I am wondering why there isn't a really decent DAB+ app yet that is still in active development. Seems there is market enough for this since everything is going digital (or at least in the future). Maybe we can raise a Bounty for someone developing a good DAB+ app.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Pinkpanther9:
Did someone experience the following issues with the Joying DAB-Stick:

I start the DAB+ app. Everithyng is working fine as long the app is in the foreground. If I then start any oher app or go to the home screen the sound sometimes starts to jerk (antenna reception is at 5 bars) but the biggest issue, it stops the sound after 10 or 15 minutes. I then go to the apps in the background, take the DAB-app to the foreground. I noticed that the antenna reception shows 0 green bars, a few seconds later it shows full reception again. Back to the background and the sound works for another 10 minutes, left in foreground it works for hours. I can exclude that it is a matter of bad reception (radio at home on the table and the issues are repeatable).

I tried to solve that problem with Joying...upgraded the firmware, got a new app (v1.1), then they said they are working on these issues, they would inform when these issues are solved (new Firmware). I asked how long this would take, they said they would inform as soon they have a solution, I asked again if I had to wait 1 or 3 months or even longer. They then asked me to send a video with the issues...somehow not really target-aimed...after they started the hard work on the solution they need to know what the problem is, and that after 17 mails to them... :confused:

Anyway, for me it seems like the app is put to a less priority level (on RAM or CPU or ?) while in the background. Can somebody confirm this (sorry I don't know the Android system and how it handles the resources)? And if so, can this app be set to a higher "priority level" while at the background? Preferably without root, wasn't able to root yet.

I was also thinking about a dirty workaround, like automatically taking it all 10 minutes or so to the foreground and then to the background again, but I wasen't able to figure out a solution for that yet.

Any ideas and solutions would be appreciated. Thanks.

You could try to download DAB Player from the Play Store. The chipset from the small MicroUSB tuner in the above post seems to be (almost) identical. The Joying app opened to the main screen with that little tuner.
[MTCB Hardware Development] Pinkpanther9:
Thx. DAB Player shows a message "Please connect DAB accessory" and "connecting...". Obviously it doesn't find any hardware and closes itself after a few seconds.

Any other ideas?
[MTCB Hardware Development] typos1:
I m not sure posting here will help you - your unit is a Joyous (Joying is the seller) Sofia unit, therefore its not MTCB/C or even MTCD and this forum is for MTCB/C units. There are some threads in the Andorid Auto General section about the Intel 009 MCU units.
[MTCB Hardware Development] rigattoni:
For those where the driver needs to be activated after each reboot...

You just need a small Tasker task to get rid of manual touching the "OK" button.

Root rights are mandatory.

What you need to do:

First of all, activate "Pointer location" in developer menu, to get the real position of the OK-button of the driver activation box on the screen. Restart the unit so that the driver needs to be activated and start wavesink. Wait for the window and tap on the OK-button and hold it to note the coordinates. (mine is x=1430 y=710)

Create a new Tasker profile -->App -->choose RTL-sdr driver and Wavesink plus

Create New task:

Name: Click_RTL

1. Wait 3 sec

2. Variable Set --> Name: %Win --> To: %WIN

3. If %Win ~Rtl-sdr driver

4. Run Shell --> Command: input tap 1430 710 --> Use Root: activated

4. Else

5. End If

When the user starts Wavesink, the RTL-driver is started too.

The script starts only when Wavesink is started.

When tasker recognizes that this happens, the task waits for 3 sec. (may be you need to play with the timing a bit)

Tasker gets the window name (Rtl-sdr driver) and clicks on the OK-button.

Nothing happens when the driver has been activated before.
[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
Is the Tasker an app?

Which resolution of your display?
[MTCB Hardware Development] rigattoni:
Tasker is an app... surely. ;) It´s free to use.

My screen is 7" and is set to 420dpi.

You need to find out the OK-Button yourself as I wrote in my posting. It´s easy to do...
[MTCB Hardware Development] ktibor69:
I'm making the tasker profile. I have this problem:

When I make the wait action, I set 3 sec and tap back arrow I get a "Error: Please enter a variable name for the condition" message. How can I accept wait action?

Edit: I have found the fail, I choosed wrong "wait until" action.

I would like to make that the launching of the MTC radio kills the poweramp when poweramp run, and the launching of the Poweramp kills the MTCradio when MTCradio run. I think the Tasker can make this action. Can you help me how can I make this with tasker app?
