I have tested all settings with no luck. I don't think that it is the antenna because I am using the stock antenna wich is delivered with the DAB+ module.

In your Fileserver I can only find the dab(2).apk. Where can I find the oem version of the app?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] macca017:
It don't matter, the aliexpress seller refused to accept my order and refunded me. She said it will not work in Australia.

Thinking about getting the Joying USB model.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Really ? You should email them a map showing countries that have DAB with an arrow highlighting that Australia DOES have DAB.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] macca017:
Bugga them, I have bought a joying one, besides I don't really know if my new Klyde headunit is modified for DAB+.

A few forum members have said that their Joying DAB+ worked OK, wait and see I guess. :cool:
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
I think the Joying one connects differently - the Klyde connect via the same conenctors as the USB, video in ports etc, I think its where/how these connect to the board that means it has to be modified, the Joying one works via USB, so probably best I guess.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Jaihoidundso:
I got the dab from joying. First try shows that the programmes are found but the receiving signal is not very good. From 5 points it shows something 4 than after a second 1 or 2 than nothing .... it is a lucky game. So i Think the antenna is not very good. But you can use (if you find Oo) an external antenna... Now i will Try something...

UPDATE: The connection is a big problem. I don't know if the antenna itself is the problem or the dab+ box from carjoying. I don't have another antenna to test it and I don't know if i can find one.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Jaihoidundso:
That is the antenna with the module. Does anyone know, if there are another antennas on the market to put it on the module? Because if I not in the city I have some problems with the signal
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Lol, have you even bothered to look ?? Theres loads available, just look on ebay or elsewhere.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Jaihoidundso:
No i don't know how to find it on ebay. With antenna dab plus i can't find only the piece from the antenna. Maybe it's only a special connection from carjoying.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
You just need a DAB antenna with an sma connector, you can buy them all over the world, just google it !
[MTCB Android Head Units General] macca017:
I have bought one of these http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-...2678121557.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.56.Q01OaT

I will report once I get it.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Sorry, but no power and/or earth wires = no booster = gain of 0dB.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] macca017:
Yea I know, however, I am prepared to try anything.

Just been to jayCar and they have nothing.

Not that easy to locate a suitable antenna that is certain to work.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] halloj:
Had this in the mail today and it works, at least on the bench. Will test in car later.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
ANY DAB antenna is certain to work, if its a DAB antenna. I d always recommend an amplified antenna.

That will work, but ONLY if your car antenna DOES NOT have a booster in it.

I have used one of these as mentioned in post #191 for some months and it is an excellent piece of kit.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] halloj:
Of course, it says so in the description. I'll guess everyone can read by themselves. Since one of the cars has

a non-powered antenna it fits for me.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] chrisbyers:
Has anyone found an alternate compatible tuner app for the Klyde module yet?

I'm only asking because the default app can only be described as 'a dogs breakfast' .

It is slow, unintuative (seriously, you have to go down three levels to access your favourites!), badly laid out and spends the first few minutes of operation doing nothing sometimes.

I am seriously considering just buying a RTL2823U based USB stick and plumbing it into my existing DAB ariel.

As a point of interest does anyone know which DAB tuner chipset is used in the Klyde units?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
No, there isnt one, it would have to be specially written, as the discussion earlier in this thread pointed out though, there are 3 versions of it (on the fileserver).

Or you could always decompile the app and change the layout as many people have done with the FM/AM app.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] chrisbyers:
Thought so but had to ask :(

I'm not a coder and my main issues are that there appears to be some deeper issues with connectivity signal registering going on.

I too like earlier posters have found that v2.0 of the app is terrible and have sat on v1.5 as my default one, and like may have had to change the default launcher and other default apps.

I just wish the Chinese manufacturers would employ some western quality control people and designers. That would nail things like this!
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
You dont have to be a coder to change the layout, background images and colours, its quite easy, there are guides online, have you got a boosted antenna ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] chrisbyers:
Just sticking with the cheap and cheerful bundled window antenna atm. It's working fine (I may be the only person who it's done this for!) but may consider a roof job if things go bad later on.

I'll have a look at the guides in a bit. I work with quite a few coders over a variety of platforms so if I get stuck I'll as them :)
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
But you mentioned "signal issues" - I d get a decent boosted antenna before I did anything else if I were you.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] chrisbyers:
Apologies I should have been clearer. I think the signal issue are reelated to the software and nothing to do with the hardware.

This morning it has been behaving perfectly with it booting straight into the DAB app and locking onto Planet Rock immediately. My car was parked in exactly the same position as it is every day too.

I await DAB(2.5).apk with baited breath!
[MTCB Android Head Units General] ch_swat_89:
Got the Joying DAB Stick today. Can someone share the apk file?

thank you, i'll try tomorrow
[MTCB Android Head Units General] ACSlater:
This is exactly what I have found out with my Klyde DAB+. First time I used the app, reception was great and every next time it would be worse and finally the app wouldn't change channels and freeze. A reinstall of the app in the OEM directory and it was good again. It it purely a software issue. The supplied windscreen antenna works fine and there's no need for an external and/or boosted antenna.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] chrisbyers:
Typical, I've just had a stone crack my windscreen so much it needs replacing yesterday. And with it I'll need a new aerial.

I've one for this one: http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/dab-car-stereos/sonichi-magnetic-roof-mount-dab-antenna

Hopefully i'll be able to get away with it working internally rather than plonking it on the roof and risking water going down the cable into the car as used to happen with my Pure DAB Highway external aerial.

[MTCB Android Head Units General] chrisbyers:
Do you know which version it is?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] ACSlater:
It would be better if you would've said that it's for Joying and not Klyde.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Dreadnaughtz:
Great article but most of the links on the original post need updating.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] ACSlater:
For the people that have the Klyde DAB; I've reported the problem on the Pumpkin forum and hopefully the developers of the app will fix the bugs.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Thanks, but that will have little effect - the DAB apk that has come ALL ROMs since last year, is an MTCB app, so it is developed by MTC, ie the company that makes the software on MTCB units, not any of the factories that manufacture MTCB units. And Pumpkin is simply a reseller, not a factory - they make and develop nothing, just buy wholesale and sell on. If you want to try and get something done, then you would have more success emailing Klyde or one of the other manufacturers themselves (find them on Alibaba).
[MTCB Android Head Units General] ACSlater:
I knew that. I just thought the devs will listen better to their resellers than just a customer. They said they will take it up to the devs. Let's just hope they do what they say.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Ok, fair point, lets hope they do . . .
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Oberbergler:
My Klyde Dab module works really well since i have bought a Hama DAB+/FM antenna: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00LFHUWLY...m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_r=Q9VGKKMKZRNRYXTXENJ5

But the DAB app is really bad. I have also the error, that it not shows the full text of songs, if they are longer than 3 or 4 words. And the app also not can show pictures of songs or the radio station, like Wavesink can.

And how already said three steps to reach the favourites is to long. I prefer the design of the older FM apps for this point.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] halo_djk:
Have browsed the whole thread. Was sent a 5.1 upgrade that turned out to really be 4.4.4. then I was really annoyed to find out the DAB app for my $100 DAB+ box was missing. I have downloaded both APKs, hopefully one will work for me.

While scanning the thread I couldn't find what the bugs were with the APKs? What file should I use if both seem to work for me?

Have included img of MCU that I have.

Thanks

Kym
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
I d use the latest. You can upgrade to Lollipop yourself, you can probably upgrade your MCU to MTCC as well, there are threads about both :)
[MTCB Android Head Units General] ACSlater:
Why the hell did you pay $100 for the DAB+ box? It can be bought for about $40 on Aliexpress if you search a bit. About the APK: just try to install some. Usually the latest is the best. Even if you download the wrong one (for the Joying usb DAB) it won't harm your system. The app simply will not work. The DAB app for the Klyde units is a little more than 1 mb in filesize. The Joying is 5 mb I think.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] halo_djk:
I brought the Dab unit from the same supplier I brought the stereo from. I didn't want to buy it from somewhere else and find it wouldn't the work with my unit.

The supplier emailed me the DAB. APK file... After I downloaded the two files from here. The 2.0 version was the wrong resolution for my unit and the LINK On button was cut in half. Also it would not remember the station settings after closing the app. The 1.5 version fit the screen correctly and seems to remember the station settings after closing the app.

The 1.5 version was also exactly the same size as the one the supplier (pumpkin_au) sent me later.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] bilnick:
Hi, Can you post a link to the 1.5 version please as i am having the same resolution problem.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] halo_djk:
It's in typos1 profile under signature.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] 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 Android Head Units General] lazcivic:
Did anyone ever solve the one channel only working problem with the pumpkin unit and pumpkin dab box????
[MTCB Android Head Units General] messiah:
Sorry, I read a little through this thread. But obviously not all 23 pages... :) is there any recommendation on a stick? The joying stick (option 8) seems to have convinced some folks...

But is it worth the 50€ ...?

Based on the first post in this thread this (much more cheaper) RTL chip based stick would also work, right (because it's option 1)?

http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_188371.html?wid=21

Or is there any drawback?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
I can confirm klyde module with hama am/fm/dab+ ant works really good. I live in the middle of a highland and not one signal issue here. The dab app is .... really terrible :silly: but with the VW unit version RQ367 from pumpkin its no problem at all to switch between the favourites because this unit has a second wheel for changing songs/channels so overall it works good. I have the app from pumkin forum is there a newer (better) one except 2.0 version?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] Oberbergler:
No, there is no newer version. I downloaded a few weeks ago their newest Android 5.1.1 rom and extracted it, but there was the Dab 1.5 in.

At the moment I am changing the design of the app. If I would be able to, I would rebuild the whole apk :)
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
Do xou have a link? And a Screenshot maybe?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
Does anybody know the function of the following options within the DAB APP:

-Service link enabled/disabled

-service scan
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
I think its station following so if the DAB signal drops out then FM will take over.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
from what i read it could be possible, but i fear it switches to another available DAB+ station. I will try tomorrow because i live between two federal states here in Germany..

any comments to the "service scan" function?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
I think thats to scan for stations.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
ok i found another external dab module from audiovox. in the manual the functions are described as follows:

service link: option to switch between dab/dab dab/rds and off. if dab station has bad signal. we dont have any service link option exept on/off so i think its dab/dab :(

service scan: scanning delete all stored stations exept the favourites. all new stations in the new area will be saved
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Right, well pretty sure the "link" if not "service link" option is for station following, thats what Klyde told me anyway.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
its better than nothing but dab/rds would be fine. the reason will be that there are two different apps and they will probably never work together...
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
No, the DAB box has FM capability as well and that is what "Link" is for.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
wait.. this means this definitely dab/rds link service mode?

this is what klyde told you that it automatically switch to the fm radio app? or fm switch happens inside the dab app?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
I also researched into the module and its DAB/FM capable, cant say whether it works with the app. It was about a year ago I did all the research and I cant find the page I found the info on, but if you remove the 4 screws on the DAB module the name of it should be on the board and you can search for info on it.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
ok thx. but if it would work with the module we are not need a second ant connection for fm antenna? my car ant has two different connectors. one for dab and one for fm
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Not necessarily, my DAB/FM kitchen radio has only one antenna.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
i will check that. thx for the info!

[MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] [MENTION=2185201]ch_swat_89[/MENTION] After some days the klyde App drive me crazy. This piece of s... Is really buggy. I have devided to buy the joying dab stick and ordered it at ebay.

I have a pumpkin RQ0367 MTCC Unit. Today i received a mail from joying mail that this stick is probably only compatible with joying units and some guys have reception problems with non Joying units.

for me it sounds like bulls.. because reception will be mainly caused from the unusable mini antenna they provide....

i want to know are they right?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Yes, it does sound like BS, its just a USB DAB tuner with an app, you could put it on any Android device, unlike the Klyde box which needs some modifications to the board, although even this would work on other devices if they had the same modifications on their boards.

Byt eh way, you DONT have a "Pumpkin RQ0367", theres no such thing, you probably have a Klyde head unit, to find out go to settings/about device.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
@ typos1 Haha yeah i know, i've got an mtcc kld6 2.97 unit :laugh:

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] Is anybody here who can compare klyde dab vs joying usb dab solution? Klyde was strange sometimes... After booting no station, sometimes different station dont work others did, last days horrible reception today everything fine :eek:

I just want to hear dab radio! So whats about joying and especially the app is this software stable?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Some people have reported this behaviour with the KLD unit, I would always recommend using a booster, if you still have probs, I guess try another type of DAB tuner. If its software related they MAY do an update that corrects it.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
I have a amplified roof ant fm/dab i had a whole week perfect reception with dab. After reinstalling the app the problems have begun. Iam sure its a software problem. With fm the antenna works great. Thats why i will try joying.....
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
There are 3 versions of the app, are you sure the one you reinstalled was the same ?

Xtrons also do one that is the same or similar to the JY one. I would also look around for ANY USB DAB tuner.

You can buy FM modulated DAB tuners also, these connect via an FM lead (directly so there can be no interference), show station/track info via FM RDS and can be worked via SWC, this would also have the added bonus of appearing in the standard FM radio app and widget so would be fully integrated with the MTC apps. Heres some examples :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-...154953?hash=item5d65e04489:g:LN0AAOSwjXRXaleu

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Add-O...307236?hash=item3aaa5cbba4:g:2H8AAOSweW5VW7Wl

You can only control the DAB from your SWC, but the unit is intelligent enough to know when you are using the DAB and when you are not.

Paser also does a similar product, although its more expensive, there are similar products sold by German ebay sellers too.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] treibstoff:
yes i tried alll 3. I use 1.5 all the time. Its a joke that Pumpkin got so much problem posts about the dab app and they dont update the app. Its a shame.

my Joying is on the way i told joying i´ve got a MTCC Unit and a roof antenna then it was ok for them.

about the FM Mod. Dabs. I dont have SWC in my car so the control outside of my AHU is not acceptable for me. 150 € is too much for me too.

i will check the joying now. i hope it will work better than the Pumpkin one.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
Its NOT a Pumpkin app - Pumpkin are sellers ONLY, they dont make head units or apps, its an MTC app made by MTC !!

Hope it works better for you.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] roscored1000:
Hi I have a KLD unit and DAB supplied by autopumpkin. It all works fine with the standard windscreen antenna. Except when I get a call coming in or make one, the sound mutes fine and resumes after but during the call while music muted there is a clicking sound from the DAB box. It is a similar sound to when the box is being set up and searching for stations. I think it is in some standby mode and searching but was just curious about the clicking sound, anyone noticed this as well or is it just me. Also was sent a new apk but havent installed it yet.
[MTCB Android Head Units General] halo_djk:
Who sent you a new APK?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] roscored1000:

I received the joying usb dab module and tried it out. Well i will send it back.... The app is stable and the reception is good but:

The reception of the DAB is slowly getting worse and erratic? I travel the same way to work every day and gradually noticing that the reception is breaking up for longer periods. I travel at different times of the day and not sure what the issue could be. The antenna is placed high on the windscreen and is not obstructed. I will try and uninstall the app and then reinstall the apk . Is there a more up to date version of the app available?

Anyone experienced this as well?

[MTCB Android Head Units General] typos1:
A roof mounted antenna is the only way to get proper reception, although it wont necessarily overcome the problems that the DAB app has.

Yes. What antenna have you got, is it boosted ?
[MTCB Android Head Units General] halo_djk:
Note I have found the app DOES have a "favourites"

Tap the list icon in the top left corner.

Tap the star in the middle bottom of the displayed screen. Save your favourites.

To recall the tap ALL on the home dab screen till presets appears. Or use the same method used for saving presets but press the station name instead of the + mark.
