Nova Launcher

Praos Icon Pack

Chronus Forecast with Marshmallow Weather Icons

Nova Search Widget

Sleep as Android Alarm and Sleep Tracking Widget

Each icon on the desktop and dock is a folder matching a folder in the app drawer; each one corresponds to a category of app. A tap opens the first, or most used, app in each folder, and all other apps are available with a swipe.
[Nextbit Robin] pintasmapila:
How did you get those icons next to Google search/Weather? Sleep Tracking widget?
[Nextbit Robin] psychoTR2:
They're from Sleep as Android. One displays the next alarm time, and the other activates the app's sleep tracking features. All I did to get them there was I enabled widget overlap in Nova Launcher, and then I placed them. You have to kind of finagle the widget sizes to get that spacing, but it's not hard.

Hi, i hope this is the right forum to post my problem.

I have brought up this issue before, but would like to use the new layout to post again.

I'm still having issues with the SWC controls sending a repeat signal (3 repeats) every time one of the SWC buttons are pressed. I have tried apps like CarService and assigned a delay to the key press, but it does not seem to have any effect.

Has anyone had this issue before and how was it resolved? Is this a know issue or am i not setting it up correctly... :eek:

"SWC and CANBUS

Ok so I've been dealing with a problem for some time, but my seller is now stumped, apparently involving an engineer at this point.

Wondering if anyone else experienced the same - I can't be the only one.

I have a KLYDE unit made for a mazda CX-5, and the SWC controls are... strange

Some buttons, when I hit them - get registered as 3 presses. So skipping a song skips 3. Hitting VOL+ increases by 3, etc. Pickup/hangup don't work.

The app for button re-mapping doesn't register any keypresses at all. CANBUS app sees me opening and closing a door. Seller confirmed I got the right decoder for my car, and all the settings are correct, including canbus type in Factory Settings.

Has anyone else experienced such behaviour?"
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
Oh yea, this issue drove me nuts

Seller/"engineer" couldn't figure it out. I ended up fixing it myself. The problem is with the canbus box.

To fix it you'll need to do some cable splicing.

There are 3 cables going from swc into the stereo - 2 data one return. One data for media and one for Bluetooth controls. You may have 1 data 1 return. It depends on the car.

Each button represents different resistor value. Stereo monitors this resistor value to determine if a button is pressed and which one, depending on resistance read. This is what's supposed to happen with that button learning utility in settings. You may have noticed that it's useless right now.

So, these cables are currently going into the canbus box, which interprets the resistor values and sends a command to android via serial interface, and it does send 3 signals (I monitored the serial port).

The stereo itself has the input cables necessary to interpret the resistor values itself without canbus unit.

My stereo unit has a schematic on top, and those cables are called Key1 & Key2 for data and "Steering wheel ground" for return.

In my case the data wires were just hanging loose, and steering wheel ground was connected to regular ground.

So, I had to figure out which cables to cut going into the canbus box. I happened to have a schematic for my car, but there are ways to figure it out without it. Feel free to post picture of your canbus box, one of the top and one of the cable connector, bonus if you got the full cable connector pic as well. I can help you figure it out.

So, what I've done is cut those cables away from canbus box and connected them directly to stereo. Now all buttons behave properly, and the button learning utility works as well. And since the canbus box is still connected, the door open indicator still works as well.

Also I bought a reverse camera which wouldn't turn on when in reverse gear. I managed to fix that by splicing cables as well.

I only got one picture of the actual work I did.

I added some connectors so I could easily switch back if I had to, but I never did because everything works great now.

So, if you decide to go through with all of this, feel free to ask questions. Be as detailed as possible describing your set up if it looks different than mine, take lots of pictures, I'll try to help as much as I can.

PS Oh hey, new layout!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
Thanks so much [MENTION=4443705]kvantum[/MENTION], this is really awesome news and thanks for the explanation. I'm going to try this out on Saturday and hopefully i wouldn't have to bug you to much.

PS: I'm not able to see the picture you added, but i'm sure i'll manage.

I'll take your advise and document the mod and add to the forum later on, if successful. :)

I really appreciate the reply and i hope this will reach others that was struggling with this issue.

My specs for reference:

Vehicle: 2010 VW Jetta 5 1.4TSI DSG

Head Unit: KGL
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
Can you see the picture now?

And I have a correction to make. Looking at the image, I'm realizing that "steering wheel ground" was just going to regular ground.

So on the car end I didn't terminate that cable anywhere. On the stereo end that cable was already spliced into ground (you can see the bundle spliced under my nail in the photo above)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
I can see you picture now, thanks!

I have taken some pictures of my setup, but not sure how to upload them (should i upload them somewhere and then post the link or how do you embed them?)

My Key1 & Key2 wires are also hanging loose so i suppose my mod will be similar to yours. I have the plug pinouts for both the head unit and the VW EOM square plug so it should not be to difficult to find the right wire to splice.

Once i figure out how to upload the pics i'll do so (Some guidance here will be appreciated) :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
Just to add, my CAN BUS does not show any of the car information. No indication of doors that are open and it also does not display any radio/music info in die instrument cluster...

Is there a trick to get this working or should it be working in the first place?

With all of these features not working i'm not actually certain what the Can Bus Box does in my setup.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
I don't think there's a way to upload pictures to the forum. I use my web site. If you have dropbox you can put them into your public folder and embed or link. Include your schematic/pinouts too if you want me to confirm.

Canbus box might be responsible for things like dimming trigger when you turn headlights on or reverse camera trigger when in reverse gear. It wasn't in my case, but I've heard of others with such setup. Disconnect it and see if anything stops working.

I don't know of a simple way to get the canbus box to do more than what it does. Same as I don't know how to stop it from sending 3 signals instead of 1. They programmed it, and it's not worth trying to reverse engineer it.

I am however playing around with arduino canbus shield so I can have complete control of the information sent to the stereo. That'll take a while though as it's not really my priority right now.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] tmiller101:
The CANbus (controller area network bus) is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow devices to communicate with each other without the need of a host computer.

The HU don't come with a CAN bus they have a Decoder Box that tries to interpret signals on the bus for the HU. If you are having problems with the HU not responding correctly either you have the wrong decoder, the HU is set up for the wrong decoder, or that function is not available with aftermarket decoder boxes.

Maybe Contact Rambo [MENTION=5342077]joying[/MENTION]. When I original bought my unit they didn't support factory amps. I had to use a PAC decoder. Then he told me that they figured it out and he sent me a new decoder box. After replacing the PAC, all kinds of things started showing up.

What Vehicle, HU?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
I have a 2014 Mazda CX-5 with a Klyde HU

My canbus decoder actually says CX-5 on it. Interesting to hear if there's a better decoder out there, I couldn't find anything
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
[MENTION=4443705]kvantum[/MENTION] As you can see i also have the Key1 & Key2 wires that are not connectet. If i understand correctly i must connect the (Brown) Key1 &Key2 wires directly to the CAN + and CAN - (Green) wires on the VW Quad Socket. How do i know which wire to connect to what pin. Eg Key1 -> CAN + and Key2 -> CAN - or vice versa?

Hi have a 2010 VW Jetta 5 1.4TSI DSG and a HuiFei/Kei Ge Le [KGL] Head Unit
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
Ok, bad news.

Looks like your car doesn't supply direct wires to the steering wheel controls.

In my car, I had SWC wires going directly to the stereo.

In your case, SWC send signal to CANBUS, then stereo sniffs the signals from CANBUS, with no SWC cables to the stereo.

Unfortunately, there is no easy/cheap workaround for you. Sorry

Here are some other options I can think of:

-If you don't care about radio and stock mp3 player and instead use aftermarket MP3 player, there's CarService app that's now included with Malaysk's roms. On my request [MENTION=5867075]KeiserSozeyFr[/MENTION] included an option to ignore repeated button presses up to x ms (configurable).

Also available here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53678587&postcount=1179

This was before I was able to figure out the wiring, but I believe the option is still there. Volume will still jump in 3s though.

-Try finding another decoder, or see if SWI-X by pac-audio can do the job

-See if your steering wheel has 2 or 3 cables coming from the SWC module before hitting canbus. To see if you can use them, use a multimeter to measure resistance between those cables (disconnect them first). When pressing a button, you should see changing resistance. If this is the case, then you'll need to connect those to key1+gnd (also key2 if there are 3 cables instead of 2)

-put arduino on the serial interface between canbus decoder and stereo. You can use it to catch the signals from decoder, drop the two repeats, and send single command on to the stereo.

Maybe someone else has better suggestions, but that's what I can think of.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
Ah damn, thats unfortunate. Luckily i have not made any changes to the wiring as of yet, just as well.

Thanks for all your input! Much appreciated. I have tried CarService before, but i'll give the new ROM and CS a bash. Maybe just maybe it will work.

Hopefully someone else can assist, but the arduino option sounds like a fun project to explore. Any advise regarding the arduino circuit will be more than welcome.

It's been a while since I've last programmed something... :)
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
If you do decide to go the arduino way, I can help out.

It should be fairly simple, with maybe 20 lines of code total.

You can get mini arduino board from ali/ebay for under $5

I would also recommend getting some 2/4-pin male/female connector pairs so that you can easily switch between stock/modified wiring configurations.

Arduino technically has only one serial port, but there's a software serial library that you can use to turn digital pins into more serial ports

For wiring you'll need to cut the two serial cables(TX/RX) between stereo and canbus decoder. Plus you'll need to splice into power + ground to power the arduino(it can take 12V on the VIN pin)

Then serial cables going from canbus box get hooked up to one serial port, from stereo - to another.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
I have been reading up on the Arduino option and it looks like most people use this Ardruino Board:

ARD UNO REV3

http://www.communica.co.za/Catalog/Details/P1424521842

and this shield:

CAN-Bus Shield Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with MCP2551 CAN transceiver

http://www.communica.co.za/Catalog/Details/P1865739722

The CAN- and CAN+ connect to the shield and then the shield connects to the ardruino board via the seriel port or pin connections ? Arduino is then connects to a pc via USB to display output and write the code. The interpreted code is then sent via the serial connection/pins to the Rx and Tx inputs on the Head Unit?

Do you by chance know at what bus speed my VW CANBUS runs?

I'm planning to visit the electronics shop on Friday, if it doesn't work out to be to expensive to build. Otherwise i'll try online shops, but will need to figure out exactly what i'll need first.

Have you managed to finish and test your Arduino setup and get it working 100%
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] tmiller101:
[MENTION=6180488]Hein3G[/MENTION] I have a 2012 Jetta with a factory amp. The PAC decoder did not allow for SWC but it did turn on the factory Amp. Which is why I harassed Rambo at Joying until they figured out how to turn the Amp on through the CANbus decoder. It cost me $20 in shipping to have them send me the new decoder. It was well worth it.

In the harness they sent me the Key1 and Key2 wires went to the decoder box plug they are not loose. The only loose wires are the Blue power ant., Orange/black ext amp, and the red ACC. My decoder says:

(VW-XZM-03) 18/09/15

For Passat, Sagitar, Tigu, Golf6, Touran, Magotan, Jetta

software: V2.3A (JY)

The decoder they sent you may be the wrong one or outdated. I would contact them before doing anything complicated or expensive.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
Hi [MENTION=3177293]tmiller101[/MENTION], so all your SWC are working correctly as well as the unit powering up/down when key is inserted?

I suppose the JY decoder should work on the KGL harness as they are very similar?
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
I know my Jetta was end of line for the 5 shape, my car has the facelift cluster installed. That might be the reason why it's not working properly as the CANBUS is a newer version.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] tmiller101:
First, just about everything works as it should. I can not fade front to back because of that damn factory amp. However, all the SWC work as they should, the HU displays which door is open. I haven't been able to get the illumination to work yet.

I have a key fob, so the radio turns on when I push the start button. And the radio cuts off when the driver door opens after the car is turned off. As did the factory radio.

Second, From my understanding KGL is a re-seller of Joyous units. I don't have a KGL so I haven't looked into it. But I do remember while browsing the MEGA HuiFei thread seeing this topic addressed several times. From memory it seems like several have said they are the same. The guys a joying might be able to answer that question better. Their English is very bad and it takes some deciphering to figure out what they mean and sometimes they misunderstand what you are saying, so communication can be challenging. However, they always respond.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] kvantum:
Yea, if joying guys can help you - then it's probably your best course of action.

If you are going to do arduino, I wouldn't bother with CANBUS shield, just put arduino between existing decoder and HU. You'll eliminate a lot of complexity. If you don't mind soldering, you can get an arduino nano from ali/ebay. They're $2-$3.

That CANBUS shield - I did just get one myself. But I'm doing something a bit more complicated
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
Thanks for the contact details [MENTION=3177293]tmiller101[/MENTION]! I'll send them a mail and see what they say. My big concern is ordering a new decoder online and then it doesn't work... I have noticed that there are a very wide range of decoders flouting around on the net, but the trick is to get the one that's made for your models CAN-BUS.

There are quite a few "VW" options in the factory settings, with some of them sort of working and others not at all... Might there be a way of adding protocols to the HU like one would do with a OBD2?

[MENTION=4443705]kvantum[/MENTION], leaving out the shield would save some cost. Being from South Africa, the exchange rate is horrible at the moment with R15 = 1$ and unfortunately our local Electro shops add quite a bit of markup. None the less i might still swing past the shop to inquire on the Nano, they seem to be going for $12 locally.

Is this the one you are talking about: http://www.communica.co.za/Catalog/Details/P3647547265

I don't mind soldering, its quite relaxing (if you're not pulling out your hair). At a quick glance... would the CAN- and CAN+ be connected to Tx and Rx respectively? I've never worked with a arduino before...

Thanks for all the help thus far!!!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Hein3G:
I came across this site: https://theksmith.com/software/hack-vehicle-bus-cheap-easy-part-1/ and the guy uses a OBDII Bluetooth scan tool to interpret the CAN signal. Got myself a scan tool yesterday and i'll see if i can make sense of how this works...
