I think I have read that before in Malaysk Android 5.1 ROM Thread, but with no Solution. It is interesting that the problem is only after a reboot of the device. If you reinstall the app with cleaning cache etc. it Is possible to do a service Scan and hear all stations. After a reboot you can only hear the last selected station. If you try to switch the station, the station name will change but not the sound (the sound is only from the one station before the reboot).

Hi Typos1

I have downloaded it now several times and installed it several times but it still shows as Ver1.0. Not 1.5. am I going to the right place for it in your signature/profile/apps/etc for a choice of 1.5 or 2.0? I have looked at the properties of both and it says they are both version 1.0

Thanks again
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
It never said v1.5, I named it that because someone else said it was slightly different. There is also the DAB app that is in the OEM partition.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] roscored1000:
Ok then I was under the belief that it was an updated version. Mine works but was hoping for a newer version. Thanks for the response.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Yes, thats what I m saying, someone said one version was slightly different, slightly updated, so I named "1.5", I m sure it was in this thread.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Jedimindtriks:
Would it be possible to completly change the looks of the dab+ app? like having station lists on the main screen or something besides that hideous look it currently has?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
People have modified it a bit, you can modify the xml in the app some more if you like.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Jedimindtriks:
I decompiled it and tried wrapping my head around it. for me coding is like chinese :)

At this point i would pay someone to mod it for me :P seriously.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
If you read this thread yourll see that some people have modified the app already, maybe ask one of them ?

Details about my head unit please

Hi all,

can anyone please tell me about my head-unit, what i can and cant do with it and if its upgradable.

Audio sources d90-810

CPU CORTEX-A9 DUEL CORE

ANDROID VERSION 4.2.2

MCU VERSION 4.3.11-22-13-E50201

SYSTEM VERSION 2.9.3-20150115

I have fitted a USB DAB dongle and down loaded the YHX_DAB+20170328-zoulou-2017-04-09.apk its all installed but when i put the car into reverse it says no video signal

Any help will be very appreciated

regards

Patrick
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
I can tell by your MCU that you do not have an MTCB head unit, so youre in the wrong forum, try the Android Headunits General forum.

I can also tell you that the "no signal" message is likely to be referring to the lack of a signal from a reverse camera, not a DAB box.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] ishan81:
Hi is there any alternatives to the kylde app on Android 5.11 .
[MTCB Android Head Units General] ishan81:
Also a tip for people experiencing bad DAB reception issues . I have experimented with lots of types of aerials in UK .

1) ok to bad reception - non powered glass mount aerial . Come with most dab modules

2) ok - reception - powered glass mount reception . Common design dab-a1

3) best reception - bee sting external aerial . ( goes on roof ) shark fins are not that great .

Compromise solution - external aerial mounted behind rear bumper with signal amplifier which is what I have . ( my car is a convertible)

Also If you have HID or led headlight conversions which are non OEM . These can give interference in car wiring and disrupt signal . I had this issue. Best to test this during the day by unplugging the mod first and then with to see if reception decreases . to solve I used magnetic shielding on headlight mod cables also on aerial and cables going to dab unit . See pic attached . This solved my issues .

Hello. Reaching out as I'm fairly new to this but I installed an Eonon head unit in my VW Touran from which I had an Dension USB-U dab adapter installed on the factory unit. The new head unit, running Android 10 failes to recognise the Dension adapter and says it is corrupt and needs to format it. Any ideas?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
I m sure I ve read about people using the Densions on these units, maybe it downs to the app being out of date, or needing a newer version to work on 9/10?

Post where to download it from and I ll try it on Oreo and Pie for you.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Munz84:
I think it's down to the configuration of the Dension adapter. It can be configurated to fit different head units by installing different config files available on the Dension website, but despite my efforts it seems impossible to figure out which one will work on android 10 based units.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Have you contacted Dension suport ?

BTW, you realise this thread is for MTCB/C units which were never available with Android 10 ? What unit do you have ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Munz84:
I did not realise that, sorry 😂

I have the Eonon GA9453B.

Dension told me to just try different config files, which in best case is a very vague answer.

Where would be the appropriate place to discuss this on here?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
What MCU have you got ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Munz84:
MTK 8227L 1.2GHz ARM A7 Quad-Core?? 😂
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Thats your processor not your MCU, your MCU will be clearly prefixed by "MCU".

MTK is short for Mediatek which means youre deffo in the wrong forum as no MTCB/C or MTCD/E units have Mediatek processors.

Try the Android Auto General Android Headunit forum.

Hallo to evryone. I have a problem in running a dasaita DAB dongle on my Dasaita PX5 head unit. I first mounted it a few months ago, after leaving it for several months lying around. It is a dedicated Dasaita dongle without USB (it plugs in on the rear of the unit) At first my head unit didn't "read" any unit pluged in and I couldn't find the DAB settings in the menu. I wrote to dasaita, their reply was that I didn't plug it in correctly, so I unmounted evrything and put it back together (twice). Meanwhile I received an MCU update from them, bringing my firmware to latest version. I installed and unistalled several times the software provided, but I have always the same result: software runs, I am able to run a radio station search, software shows me signal strength of radio station, but anyway, I don't hear any sound. Funny thing I noticed is that when I start the DAB sw, I hear music playing from FM radio chip: I hear the last radio station, but at much lower volume. Trying to do something, I pressed randomly on evrery part of the screen. By keeping pressed the signal strentgh suddenly a pop up message showed up saying that firmware had to updated and a percentage ticker came up. After 10 or more minutes it was still at 1%, so I broke it up in order not to uncharge my car battery. I tried again the day after, this time with running engine, but nothing changed. Is there any software that I can try to see if the dongle is connectec properly? Shall I try to disconect and re plug it in again? Is there something I can do in order to have it running? I updated from android 8 to android 9 and now to Hal9k mod v4

Thank you ton anybody that can give me some answers (Dasaita doesn't seem to know how to help me. I've sent them also video footage of the device not running, they answered that I have to plug it in properly)
[MTCB Android Head Units General] junk68:
I'd like to thank publicly Hal9k for his help provided! I wrote him in private, and even if it has nothing to do with his mod or with the hardware he normally uses, he tried to help me out.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
For best results with DAB you need a vertical antenna, ideally mounted on top of the vehicle, a booster is also a great help. I got varying results, from no stations to a few without these things.

Can you post a pic of the antenna that came with your unit ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] masterhacka:
Here is a picture of the module and the antenna: ww.autopumpkin.de/media/catalog/product/cache/5/image/370x480/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/i/digital_radio_box_9.jpg

Sorry I can't post links unless I have at least 10 posts.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Thats not a good antenna, you should at least get a booster.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] masterhacka:
Which booster should I buy?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] nordream:
Have the same antenna, isn't there a booster in that antenna? Thought there was a booster in the black antenna box?

But I agree, it's not a good antenna.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
The DAB box is the one I referred to at the beginnign of the thread, the same as mine.

If there is no electrical connection then there is no booster - how can it boost if there is no power ?

As I said earlier you really need a proper vertical antenna, ideally mounted on your car roof, as well as a booster, you can buy splitters that get a DAB signal from from standard car antenna as long as you havent got a factory booster in it, if you have then you need a new antenna combined AM/FM/DAB, I got this one :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/391196062992?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I havent connected it yet. Others are available, take a look on ebay or other sites.

Stick on antennas can work but they simply dont work as well as a proper vertical roof mounted one.

(I ve uploaded the DAB apk that nordream sent me to the fileserver in my signature).
[MTCB Android Head Units General] nordream:
Many booster antennas are powered through the coax cable, as the dab box and antenna were bundled I thought this was the case here, but haven't checked.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Thats usually OEM car antennas and they still need a connection the other end to complete the circuit the DAB box doesnt power the booster, mine didnt even come with an antenna, your seller just chucked a cheap one in for free.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] masterhacka:
With the App from nordream everything works perfect!
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Interesting, so the DAB app didnt work, the DAB(2) app I sent did work then it stopped after a factory reset, then the DAB(1.5) which nordream sent worked again ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] nordream:
Yes you are right, opened the antenna, it says "passive" inside.

That's what I experienced too, and also the dab(2).apk showed the few channels I got multiple times in the channel list.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] masterhacka:
So in conclusion:

OEM ROM with OEM DAB app: everything works perfect

Custom ROM from Malaysk with DAB(2).apk: I am only getting a few stations

Custom ROM with DAB(1,5).apk: everything works perfect
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Ok, well at least we have 3 options now.

I d still recommend getting a better antenna though :)
[MTCB Android Head Units General] dogballs999:
Does anyone have a link for this Shinwa DAB module mentioned in the OP?

I'd like to buy one but cannot find any sellers.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
What unit have you got ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] dogballs999:
AS Much as I know its a RK3188 1024 x 600

Not sure how to tell if its Klyde..
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Settings/about, the letter before the MCU type indicate the manufacturer.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] dogballs999:
Thanks, mine is GS. No good?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Probably not, I cant remember what GS versions back panels look like (post a pic?), but even if they have the correct connectors there no guarantee it will work.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Oberbergler:
Hello,

does anyone have the Dab-apk who is showed here: autopumpkin.com/pumpkin-external-dab-dab-digital-radio-box-with-touch-control-for-android-car-stereo.html
[MTCB Android Head Units General] dogballs999:
Ok mate, thanks.

I'll post a pic tomorrow, if you dont mind confirming either way.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Yes, its appeared in every new ROM since June (in the "OEM" folder/apk), all types and its uploaded to the file server.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Oberbergler:
Yes, I know, but only the one with the ugly interface. But I would like to have the other one which looks nearly how the fm radio app.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] dogballs999:
The back of a GS unit.

Same ports?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
It has the right connectors, but I was told by Klyde that there are modifications to the board so I dont think it would work.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] dogballs999:
Shame, thanks.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] Mr Bigglesworth:
Would any of these dab.apks work with a different HU but using the hardware listed in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62949123&postcount=3
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
The DAB apks are from the MTCB headunit developers and have appeared in the "OEM" folder in firmware updates since June, theyre designed to work with DAB units that the 10 odd manufacturers of MTCB headunits provide at extra cost.

They probably wont work with Wavesink or Dension DAB modules, or any other non DAB module not designed to work with MTCB headunits, but theres no harm in trying. I doubt they would work with non MTCB headunits even with the hardware we re talking about.

The thread you posted is for MTCB headunits, I m not really sure what youre trying to do, can you be more specific ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Mr Bigglesworth:
I think you answered my question, but to clarify, I meant using a MTCB (Witson) unit which didn't come with DAB, but using one of the NooElec devices (maybe with RTL2832U driver as necessary). I don't have the DAB add on device but have been thinking about it and it was commented in that thread that the Wavesink app hasn't seen any updates in a while so was wondering if there were other app options using some of the software being mentioned in this thread.

Thanks!
[MTCB Android Head Units General] masterhacka:
Is it possible to modify the OEM dab.apk so that you have bigger buttons for changing the channel?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Try it but pretty certain it wont work with RTL2832U devices.

Apparently modifications need to be made to the motherboard for the DAB module to work.

There are the other options I mentioned at the begining of this thread.

What unit have you got and how old is it (Witson are simply sellers - to find out what device you have look at the letters before teh MCU number (KLD, KGL, HA etc).
[MTCB Android Head Units General] alvinjones377:
For Pumpkin HU: https://mega.nz/#!4AFXAAhB!HbGDeIXiG36lAsgPZOSy2fzgee0lkJXVQo-GW4bxEIY

PS: you need to UNLOAD the previous one before you install this new apk :)

https://mega.nz/#!4AFXAAhB!HbGDeIXiG36lAsgPZOSy2fzgee0lkJXVQo-GW4bxEIY
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Mr Bigglesworth:
So the HU device is a 'MX' (v2.72).
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Right, well you could see if theres an MX version with DAB available, that may or may not indicate whether the board has been modified to accept DAB already . . . as long as it was manufactured after about June last year, if not, forget it - DAB was not available before then.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Mr Bigglesworth:
Cheers.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] SB:
Has anybody had an issue with the Shinwa DAB module whereby the HU sees it, will tune into stations happily, but you don't actually get any audio?

I've contacted the seller and am awaiting a response but thought it possible I've missed something.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
I already uplaoded it to the fileserver.

You DONT need to un-install it, just update tot he newer version.

Not heard of that have you tried a factory reset ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] SB:
I haven't yet; I tried cleaning up and reinstalling the APK but nothing. There is a slight crackle from the speakers and that goes away when I unplug the purple connector...

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Good news; factory reset worked. Thanks :)
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Tumke32:
So you have a mx to :) You are the first person on this forum who has the same MX device like me. Wich device from Witson you have (which car brand?)

Concerning the DAB+ possibilities on our device, I'm using a RTL dongle. depending of the coverage in my country, it works. But perhaps this module will work on our device www.erisinwholesale.com/accessories...ensitivity-receiving-antenna-dab-box-464.html .It looks like it had the same connector as our iPod in connector. So maybe if you switch them.....but maybe erisin can say of it will work.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Tumke32:
What kind of USB DAB module + app is used with this device? www.erisinwholesale.com/special-car-dvd/vw/erisin-es3015v-8-android-51-car-dvd-gps-player-466.html .looks like everyone with a USB port can use it . Or is this just a RTL dongle with a new app?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Not sure, I guess its not an MTCB developed app, wonder who supplies the tuner.

And MTCB units dont like more than one usb device that needs power connected at the same time, so may be an issue if you use something else with usb.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Tumke32:
I think a powered USB hub will be welcome then.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Not sure that would help - my unit doesnt like my SSD and OBD/usb lead being plugged in at the same time and both dont use any power !
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Oberbergler:
I changed the Dab-App a little bit. You can download it here: https://mega.nz/#F!69JH3SwZ!G30W-fliypsgxOMw6NigBg
[MTCB Android Head Units General] masterhacka:
Cool thanks! Could you make bigger icons for changing the stations?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Mr Bigglesworth:
It's a Witson A6964. Seems good and doesn't have some of the issues that others have relating to microphones, static etc. It's dual core, when I ordered it hadn't been on this forum and so didn't realise that quad core was out there.

How about you?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Tumke32:
Mine is also a w2-a6964 (http://www.witson.com/en/displayproduct.html?proID=102162095). My hui has also no problems with the microphone. The sound of the Bluetooth calls are good (i use a external microphone). The internal microphone for "oke google" also works just fine. I ordered one with a 1024x600 screen but they delivered me one with a 800x480 screen.

Right now i still have a dual core, but I have ordered a rk3188 som to upgrade it.

The only issue i have is the reception of the am/fm radio. He finds a lot of channels but the sound quality and reception strength is bad.

A MX Mcu is pretty rare, but just as good or even better (microphone) as a jy or kgl i think. Enjoy your device!
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Mr Bigglesworth:
How much was the SOM?

My reception isn't too bad, but I got a powered aerial lead,supplies the necessary power to the aerial module. Have you got one of those. I'd say it's not far off what it used to be with the original concert one.

I haven't got round to trying the external mic yet. Should do though.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Its not a Witson, Witson dont make ANY of these units, its an MX unit.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Tumke32:
Yea we know Witson is a reseller. Perhaps you can give me some more informatie about the mx manufacturer (I cant find anything). Witson is also providing the firmware for our device And they have pictures of their Factory on theire page. Maybe they are more than just a reseller?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Mr Bigglesworth:
I understand that there are manufacturers and resellers. Was just responding to which particular unit I had. Also seen very few MX related threads. Don't know what other units are MX?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
The microphone issue effects ALL MTCB head units.

Cant offer any more info, I m afraid, although I can say that althoughMX units are rare they have been around for a while, yours is deffo not the first on this forum. Take a look at the MCU thread if youre after a later MCU. Having pictures of a factory on their site does not mean that they have a factory - anyone can upload pictures of a factory and its a well known trick of Chinese re-sellers to claim that they are a factory.

The unit you have is an MX MTCB unit, the name "Witson" is TOTALLY irrelevant, has no bearing on anything at all to do with your unit and does not in any way relate to you "particular" unit, a good example is that if you bought your Samsung Galaxy S6 from ebay, you would not have an "Ebay Samsung Galaxy S6" youd simply have a Samsung Galaxy S6, the shop/site you got it from is totally irrelevant.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Tumke32:
I ordered a powered usb hub. For now i connected it to the power network at home. I can connect 4 devices on my hub, 1 USB stick 64 gb, 1 USB stick 16 gb, a rtl dab USB dongel and a small 1gb USB stick. All of the USB sticks were found and mounted and reachable. The dab dongle is working perfectly. The only problem is that the USB sticks are not found in root explorer only in ES file explorer.

If i connect a 350 GB hard disk and a USB stick only one of the two are found.

You say the microphone issues effects all mtcb units. I can ensure you that the sound of my microphone is good, not a parrot but good enough.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Are the USB sticks found in the standard file explorer ?

It may be just down to personal opinion, some people have said that they think the mic is ok, but most say it isnt. It could be that the manufacturer has made a design change - what unit do you have ? When did you get it and have you opened it up and looked inside ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Tumke32:
No only one usb stick is found in the standard file explorer. Any idea why es file explorer find them and the standard file explorer cant find them. And is there a solution for this problem?

I think it could be the personal opinion indeed, but there are differences between those units otherwise everyone will use the same mcu. Mine is a MX i bought it in middle 2015. I opened it up to swap the som, i use a rk3188 right now.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Probably better software is why ES can find them.

There are minor differences in some components on the motherboard and minor differences in the way the mics are implemented, but most are apparently not that good. Like you say it could be personal opninon or I guess it could be that MX untis have improved mics - did you look and compare it to the more common units ? MXs are relatively rare. The MCUs are the same - all are STMicro electronics MCUs. All the software is done by MTC and most of it is virtually the same, just minor differences in the code to differentiate between manufacturers.

Hello

I'm new here in the forum and wanted to say hello to all first.

Have an Android radio purchased by XTRONS.

Xtrons-pf73aa4ar-android-4-4-4-kitkat-quad-core-car-dvd-player

Thanks to this forum I could flash device on Malay firmware.

Model Number: S07

MCU: MTCB GS V 2.73

Android: 4.4.4_04122015

Kernel: 3.0.36+

now I have my DAB + module of Pumkin bought

Pumpkin-DAB+ Modul

of connection here everything fits.

But the app it finds nothing.

Is maybe bring this DAB module to run another possibility.

Or can not be used the radio to the module.

Would also be willing the Dab module when installed inside possible, if it would go.

Sorry for my English, all written with google translate.
