Microphone is behind the plastic grill on the ceiling (on those cars equipped with stock handsfree). But as your car is from 2010 (in Russia those are called pre-restyle) your ceiling grill is totally different. Let me know if you still need it and I will provide an exact part number once I get back from vacation. I remember to have kept original packaging somewhere.

FWs for this tesla are universal indeed but there's a small catch - each FW obtained from chinese for certain car model has its own unique /system/app/customer.xml file which describes available themes and CAR MODEL NUMS available for selection in chinese gray settings. That's why a 4pda person who keeps fws on his cloud decided to keep the original fw names. You may save your original customer file somewhere (i. e. with all unlocked themes and your car model) and then replace the customer file that comes with fw, but only if that fw is rooted (because customer file is in system partition and that needs to be unlocked for file replacement)

There's no sd slot on any tesla units and there's no similarity with other rockchip based units. This is by design. Flash procedure assumes you put update.img file on usb drive and insert - update will be detected automatically and you'll have an option to accept or refuse
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
I don really have the unit yet, but in previous unit, microphone quality was really bad, this is why I'm asking. How is it in this the units?

About firmware, tacking backup of settings and customer.xml makes any fw usable, if I understand it well. Perfect, then.
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
Me too i'm going to link the OEM microphone of my FOUCS ST instead of his; as I already wrote, the 2 things I need to change are the phone app and the whitelist file cause it's so bad. I'm not so sure doing this by myself but I think there's no firmware with this file already changed.

For the phoneapp, I'm the only who hate the phone scrren always on top during a call? It's impossibile to use other app with half scrren covered by it
[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
Using stock Ford microphone casing is just a method to attach custom microphone on the back side of the original ceiling grill - has nothing to do with quality. But true - handsfree quality on chinese units sucks, tesla included. Additionally tesla's microphone is built in and there's no easy way to replace or to extend it, no female 3.5mm jack provided.

Concerning fws - you seem to be getting it right but keep in mind that you'll only want firmwares that are v1.0 as v2.0 seem to only fit 1280x800 resolution (yours will be 1024x768). Mondeo carNums are 79,80 (mondeo zhisheng lo/hi) so make sure these numbers are in your customer file.

Also there's a new wave of new fast-boot units from the same android board manufacturer - these seem to be honest 7.1 android but fws are incompatible with our 4.4 devices

Will you also do me a favor and ask your sellers for newer mcu and can adapter firmwares? We've been searching high and low for these but no luck so far. If something happens to mcu chip - the unit is toast.
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
But how did you connect the Nokia microphone, if there is no mini jack?

And how can we know (before buying) which one are really 7.1 and which are fake?

Didn't understand the 79,80 thing. Do I have to look for it in the customer file? What is the difference if it's present or not?

I will. Why do we need MCU and can firmwares?
[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
You'll have to disassemble the display module, or there's a way to tap into tge wires between system and display modules

All current tesla units for Mondeo are android 4.4 but will show 6.0 or 7.1 depending on fw you install (version is set by modifying build.prop file). There may be a true 7.1 fast-boot unit in the future for mk4 but I won't bet. You can track fast-boot news here: https://m.facebook.com/PhoenixAndroidRadios/posts/?ref=page_internal&mt_nav=1

Yes, there's a parameter CarNums=... in customer.xml file which contains list of numbers that correspond to certain car models in code. 79 and 80 are for Mondeo MK4, and you must make sure these numbers are included in the list so that Mondeo is selectable in settings (and mondeo customizations are activated on the unit)

Example - my own unit was advertised as having 2gb mem, but I received 1 gig concealed by chinese settings code (they multiply it x2 for some customer numbers)) . I wanted more performance so I ordered new android (small) board with 2gigs guaranteed. When I finally received it, it had mcu on-board flashed for Kuga. So if I'd had mondeo binary I'd have simply flashed it and good to go. But without binary I had to unsolder mcu from my initial board and transfer it to new one. For many other cars mcu fw is available but mondeo's been missing
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
If you could expiring how to do it when you are back from your holidays I will be very thankful.

May it explain the difference between units that I found? I have found units from 260-600€, and they seem to have the same specs (it's funny that the only difference use to be that they claim to be Android 6.0 or 7.1.1); I only found one that had another chip (mtk3561).

The page from Phoenix seems to be very updated. May we update from there, or updates from 4pda have some improvements or differences?

Ok, understood. But, what if they weren't? Couldn't I update?

I guess you found out that it was really 1gb in another software, right?

Can you buy other boards? Can you please point me to any of these?
[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
Really, no need to explain. You'll see for yourself when you get the unit. Microphone is below the plastic of display module. There are 2 wires - red and black. Solder whatever you want there - easy.

Don't know what you found. Can't explain the difference as I only own rockchip-based slow boot. I don't recommend any of those though.

Both phoenix and 4pda people get their original updates from chinese sellers. I post my pre-rooted versions on 4pda only. That's the difference. Other customized sw components are also available on 4pda, like music player with sorting etc - you'll have to search the thread

If they weren't you wouldn't be able to select "mondeo" in settings that's all. Has nothing to do with update - just this customer file gets overwritten by update. So after update you may not be able to select mondeo and will not have working climate control etc. If this is the case you unlock system, open customer file and add 79,80 to numbers list. After reboot you have mondeo as possible selection in settings

Android has linux kernel. So I installed terminal and did "cat /proc/meminfo"

Info is on 4pda in topic header. This is the source I ordered mine from and the only one I know. It's been a while so I don't know if it still works or not
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
OK, I will take a deeper look to 4pda topic.

About the units, I have an older rk3188 unit and, even though it's slow at boot (+30 seconds) and lags (just 1 gb.), it was improved with malaysk unit and xposed modules. It's way better than any stock radio, and it only costed about 300€. If those tesla units are similar (and I found one for 260€), I will be satisfied.
[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
The px3 based rockchip tesla I own has the same slow boot, no fm radio during load phase (allwinner headunits have it), no sleep mode (full boot during even shortest stops), sw mostly sucks (mostly uncustomizable (many people want to change top bar icon assignment but can't), audio player puts all media folders into a flat mess, no alphabetic or numeric sorting; fm radio has no textual labels, no station set saving, nothing; translation is google translate everywhere), hw is among the cheapest available (tda7388 instead of better 7850/7851, bad fm modules without rds in many units). The only positive sides are system sw, car features support (i. e for mondeo wheel angle parking lines are supported, which is rare) and the fact that sw code isn't obfuscated, so can be reverse engineered with moderate apktool/jadx skills and even recompiled as android studio projects
[Android Head-Units] Hammerhand.17:
Mmm. Can't the ROM be modified? There are several roms in the forums that modifies some of the things you said (not the hw part, for sure, but sw); maybe some parts of these roms can be used: I'm not a programmer or engineer, sadly, so don't know how would it be done (or if that can be done).
[Android Head-Units] ikuznets222:
Yes, it's possible - see above how (apktool/jadx, programming skills)
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:

Guys, i had ordered the new head unit!!!!!
[Android Head-Units] ricalv1:
Thanks for the answer,

I was hoping someone could help me identify the units mcu and software to find updates, HC, GS, etc

Up to now I haven't been able to find anything.

I been trying to change the logo and a few other settings like the car on the main screen, but with no luck
[Android Head-Units] MOE653:
Can I export my current firmware as a backup in the flash drive?
[Android Head-Units] marcus82:
if you go to advanced settings the're the popup with mcu versione

Post a picture of your system information screen.
[Android Head-Units] ricalv1:
I have added several pictures of the system info in this link https://yadi.sk/a/cQsz6KuJzvGMKw
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
I see, sorry I missed that. It doesn't appear your radio is a T-Style "Tesla" type Android radio. This thread is specific to this type of radio. You may not find much help here in this particular thread.

Looking for a root for a Phoenix android radio PX6 4gb/64gb android 8.1 . any help would be appreciated. really just want to hide the stock notification bar perminantly.

THanks,
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
I don't believe root has been achieved yet for the PX6 version but the 4PDA thread is likely where it will appear first...

Member [MENTION=9875668]ShIvADeSt[/MENTION] here on XDA and 4PDA may actually incorporate the latest version of this radio into his custom rooted firmware. Maybe he can chime in?
[Android Head-Units] ricalv1:

It still says I have no permision to attach photos, so here is a link with the photos I took of the software information screen and device information screen.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with your particular version. I'll defer to someone with a similar radio...
[Android Head-Units] jmcqup:
I am installing an antiglare screen protector, but not sure if I should try to pull of what appears to be a factory install protector.... It seems pretty well attach but has a small scratch I would like to remove.

Any advise?

[Android Head-Units] fusionspill:
Looking to root mine for more themes mine was only shipped with 2. Not sure which firmware to go with? I want to be on the latest firmware I can get on. Any help much appreciated

Here's my unit info:
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
You have already the most fresh firmware (april 2019). You can google about using ADB wifi to get root for your device. But You need to know theme numbers to add to customer.xml for selection. Or You can download Phoenix Radio stock firmware with unlocked themes. Also You can buy custom firmware with unlocked themes and more features.

Make your choice :)

There is no free updates for 1280x800. Really, its

the most unpopular screen dimension. Wanna have more? Write me private message.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
I can vouch for the quality of the work that ShIvADeSt provides. He made a custom firmware for me and was quick, professional and very reasonably priced! My icons are in the exact order I want them in, and my apps launch just how I want them to when the unit boots up.
[Android Head-Units] pghjerry:
That’s good to hear Paul!! Thanks.

Did u see a big difference in the performance of ur unit? Is it more stable and less laggy?
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
It definitely seems more stable, but I never really experienced too many performance issues to begin with. I was looking more for a customized theme that worked well with FCC Launcher, and one that had icons in the order I wanted. ShIvADeSt did a great job of getting all of that done for me.
[Android Head-Units] big_daddys_house:
I second that!
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
There is custom upper bar for Paul.

Also have been fixed some issues with temp showing.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
This is theme number 21 from the list ShIvADeSt can unlock. It has custom icon placement, a custom icon for SqueezePlayer, the outside temp and A/C temps both display Fahrenheit and there is no leading zero in the 12HR clock. The head unit is installed in a 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
Ha, beat me to it! I couldn't find that pic so I went out to take new ones.

boot logo and other modifications

hi guys i have purchased a 12.1'' Vertical screen tesla style Android 6.0 Car DVD player GPS for HONDA ACCORD 2006 CL7, however i am trying in vain to change the boot logo but no success, can anyone of you help me on this? i also wanted to change the default apps that the headunit uses, for example the music player, is there a way to do this?

below is a link of the head unit i purchased:-

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
Do a search for boot screen changer apk. Not sure if you'll find it here or not, but it's around somewhere. As far as apps go, I don't think defaults can be changed without custom firmware (except for navigation, most head units should already allow that app to be customized).
[Android Head-Units] pghjerry:
I thought it was part of the firmware (or at least the option is on the unit I have from Phoenix Automotive). I just press Settings, then scroll to the bottom of the list and there is a Boot Logo Change option....
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
He has android 4 (6). There is no such Settings.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
If you like the stock launcher, ShIvADeSt can also add a custom image for you.

Guys I need some major help.

I got this Tesla screen unit today for my 2010 mustang.

Only there was a fairly big problem with it.

The aircontrol didn't work all the time and the bluetooth didn't work at all

(Bluetooth adress: Null)

I mean I could live with that, but the screen turned black and hasn't turned on anymore.

The thing is I'm going away for work tomorrow with the car, so if anyone can help me I'd love it

(or else I'm stuck listening to wind for 12 hours in a row)
[Android Head-Units] big_daddys_house:
If the screen turn black then there's nothing you can do. you can't even change protocols or anything. Unless it's just a fluke. did you try hitting the reset button?

Also the same thing has happened to people in the ram forum and if you purchased the three-button unit, send it back for a refund.
[Android Head-Units] rensole:
I cant seem to locate the reset button.

I have this one: aliexpress.com/item/32916586684.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.3deb4c4dZ1WHGw

It doesn’t seem to have any buttons but the canbus does seem to get very warm.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
Take a look at the pic in your link and see where the sleep button is on the screen in the upper left. Try pressing that same area of your screen just to make sure it's the screen isn't off.
[Android Head-Units] rensole:
Tried it to no effect :(

I think it might be a connection somewhere might not be getting enough power and that’s why it might not be booting, or there is a cable which stopped working or something.

But I have zero knowledge on how to find the error.
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
Unmount unit from car znd turn it on at table. Look, does it blink or not? Also is display highlighted or not?
[Android Head-Units] rensole:
I've currently got it out of the car.

How can I turn it on at my workbench?

I have a regulatable power output machine (can change the volts and watts), but have no clue on how to hook it up.

https: imgshare.io/image/ZOyQw

https: imgshare.io/image/ZOiv8

edit: I'm also totally ok with taking the unit apart and replacing parts, I'm fairly good with soldering, but normally my father would help as he was a electrical engineer but he passed away so I have to learn everything myself now.

I have a multimeter, fluke, scope and regulatable power source so in theory I could take the entire thing apart and try to fix it, but I'll need some help/guidance on what to do.

Earlier today I posted asking someone to please help me stop FCC from relaunching itself after I try to launch some other app. I included a link to a YouTube video I made showing it happen. I don't see my post now, was it removed?
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
I never saw it pop up and I get push notifications with Tapatalk...
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
Weird because I saw it on the forum right after I posted it, but now at home I don't. But okay, I'll try again. Here's what happens every time I try to open another app while FCC is running and it drives me absolutely insane.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLLKqXbuxjQ
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Is FCC set as your home screen app and/or as your Navigation app?

What version of Android is yours again?
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
FCC is set only as the home screen and is the only app set to launch at boot. Android is 4.4 and I'm running a custom firmware.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
What is launching it at boot?
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
FCC is set up to launch itself at boot, after 3 seconds run SqueezePlay (connects to my home music streamer) then relaunch itself afterwards (because it would never return to the home screen). Nothing else is set to run. The issue with it relaunching itself after I try another app has been ongoing since I installed FCC, but seems to be getting worse. For a while I was able to launch other apps from the App List and not have FCC interfere, but even that has stopped working.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
If you have it set as the default launcher have you tried turning off the auto launch? It will be launched by Android at startup if it's set as your home app.

In addition, if your developer options are being used, make sure it's not "destroying activities" and is set to the standard background process limit.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
I have not tried turning off auto launch, but will tomorrow. I don't recall setting destroy activities, but will also check that. Thanks for the help!
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
No problem. If this is Shiva's firmware I'm sure he can be loads more helpful than me in answering this...
[Android Head-Units] ShIvADeSt:
I don't use 3rd party launchers :( So I cannot help with it.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Fair enough!
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
And FYI I am an idiot. I initially posted my request for help in the FCC thread, not here lol. However after unchecking launch at boot, I was finally able to get other apps to launch without FCC interfering with them. I will see what happens today when I leave work, hoping FCC launches at boot and everything runs smoothly.
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
Good to hear it. If it is set as the default launcher you should be good to go.
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
Well, at least FCC isn't relaunching itself now when I use another app. But now when it boots and auto starts SqueezePlayer, it no longer returns to the Home screen like it is set to.
[Android Head-Units] big_daddys_house:
You can always install remote start.

[emoji23]

no but seriously after I installed remote start on my truck, I never see the boot-up sequence...
[Android Head-Units] ramathorn1982:
What is starting squeeze player? Is that what you use to listen to music?
[Android Head-Units] Paul1965:
Yes, SqueezePlay is an app that connects via my hotspot to my home Logitech Media Server. FCC is set up to launch it at start up, then return to the Home screen and display the full screen map.
