My unit has arrived today. Is a klyde unit for kia ceed 2013 (PX5 MTCD_KLD_2.50_1) from kanor aliexpress seller.

I did not had much time to play with it but these are my first thoughts...

No echo during bluetooth conversations. I used the modified harness from my previous quad core unit from the same manufacturer/seller which connects the external microphone jack from the unit to the factory roof microphone of my car. I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think the internal mic gets disabled because the external one is used. On my old unit I unsoldered the internal mic to aquire good sound from the external but had lost the "ok google" feature. Now I have both good bluetooth conversations and google voice recognition without any interventions on the unit. I had at least one conversation longer than three minutes.

I confirm that USB camera works with the mtc dvr application but DailyRoads crashes instantly at launching.

Another thing I had read here and can confirm is that my huawei e8372 is no longer seen as an ethernet connection. On my previous unit was working like that on lollipop and on kitkat roms. Now I was forced to configure the dongle as a hotspot and connect the HU to it over wifi connection.

I also saw on this thread that you are saying that all the apps gets killed when the ACC power is off and the unit enters in deep sleep mode. My unit is restarting the apps that were running after it gets out of sleep, at least the radio app and waze. I did not test other apps and don't know if radio and waze are somehow whitelisted. And yes, is getting out of sleep not fully booting... But this might be because of one setting I made in factory settings. I don't recall it now but is something like a "power state" and I selected "remember last state" and is not that option where you select how much time the unit should stay on after removing ACC power. I'll come back tomorrow with a screenshot.

I also like that in the factory settings besides the steering wheel keys reassignment I can also reassign the front buttons on the unit, short presses and long presses!

That's all I remember for now. I will come back tomorrow after some more testing.

One more thing. I like that durring a phone call there is a "minimize" button in the right side of the bluetooth window that turnes it to a small square placed in the down right corner of the screen. That way I have a much clear view of the navigaton app during the phone call.

Can you ask your seller if he sends you firmware and mcu?

My seller says he does not have
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
I already asked but I doubt he will send. I will insist.. and maybe the transaction feedback will reflect this. I haven't left the feedback yet on aliexpress ;)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
This is the option I was talking but it has nothing to do with restarting the apps after going out of sleep. If waze is in the background and radio in front, after sleep only radio is started.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Tomavensis:
I'm curious for this too. My wifi reception is really really bad. But I can't disable bluetooth so can't test it.

My other option was to buy a cheap USB wifi dongle and mount it just behind my front window, hopefully this will have a (much) better wifi reception
[MTCD Android Head Units General] catu:
I have no way of searching in the bluetooth app. The search icon is greyed out..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dark_lord86:
does anyone use usb wifi?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Aran:
Do you mean USB thetering? I am curious for that too, seems like e good solution for the wifi-problems! Or maybe some succeeded in tethering via Bluetooth. Is that possible?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dark_lord86:
No. To use a usb wifi dongle
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
I would like to know as well. Much easier than fixing the shoddy antenna.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
As I said in a a previous post, I'm using a huawei e8372 lte dongle as a hotspot. On my previous unit it worked as an ethernet connection but not anymore on the new px5 mtcd unit. Now I'm connected to it over wifi and because it is plugged in one of the units usb ports, the unit also shows the gsm signal strength in the status bar.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dark_lord86:
I was wondering if someone use a wifi reciver on usb port.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Guys,

I have already now bought the following items to make the wifi signal really stronger on this px5 hu's...

1- Asus AC87u.

2- 2x external antennes.. but only 1 gonna connect it on the head unit after i test it them both to be sure which one of them is better and stronger signal receiving..

I currently have no free time for it, but if I have some free time I gonna test them for sure..

I've already tested the Asus 87u and the wifi signal strength has increased from almost a few kb (1mb max) to 25mb without the new antenne connected to it and also without any soldering second wifi antenne etc.

Testing The New WiFi 4G Antenne!!

Guys,

I could not even waiting until to get the connector for the black antenne one so I have now performed the test of one of the two antennas -white 4G- and the resolution was very good as i expected from this new little antenna 4G one.

Because I've got 50+ mbps now with this small white antenna one, so I've got a double of what I had before and the advantage of such a small little antenna one is that you can connect it to your head unit so instead of the ordinary -s.h.i.t.t.y- antenna which is supplied (come) with the px5 hu's.

See the test pictures mate.. just to get what I want to say. :)

Advandige of this little white 4G antenne one is:

1- cheap.. cost almost nothing because the price is including shipping from China nice guys to your home adress (in my case!) is only 5 or 6 €uro.. Cost less then sending a package without registered!!

2- you can just plug it on your hu in the same place of the -s.h.i.t.t.y- supplied cheapst antenne one ever.. so not out of the dash and not out of the car or put it somewhere else etc.

3- I got minimum 25mbps and max 55mbps with it.. And i also tested my note 4 in the car connected to the same my Asus ac87u Router and i got the same result from my Asus Router AC87.. so its good!!!.. if the test server is not too busy of course!!

4- I can watching youtube 480p with it too.

You're welcome mate. :good:

Px5 pb wifi and bluetooth at the same time

Hello Madyen

Sorry for my writing I am French so I use Google Translate

There is a problem on the PX5 card which uses the same channels for WIFI and BLUETOOH.

I also installed 2 antennas + 3dbi on my XTRONS TB706APL, and tested with the application "WifiAnanlyser" available on the blind.

Without the bluetooth the wifi signal is correct, but as soon as I activate the Bluetooth, the Wifi signal is very bad and the flow becomes inactive, the internet connection is very very slow and is unusable.

So I tried with a 3G dongle from XTRONS but can not operate it in USB mode because in the "WIFI / Other" menu there is indeed a "USB Modem" option but this one is grayed out and totally inactive.

I contacted the XTRONS technical service who as usual is incompetent and did not even take the time to read my message with the precise description of the problem and the results of the "WifiAnalyser" application.

During the tests with your new antennas, have you checked the quality of the wifi signal during a telephone communication in bluetooth?

Thank you for your reply and good day.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] chemanuel:
Thanks you very much but now i don't find the option that change.Which?

Thnaks!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
Does anyone have the default launcher .apk file for me? I believe the default widgets for radio and music are in that, correct? I would like to have a look at those widgets. I'm working on a little app that can control the radio app via media controls and/or a notification widget (like poweramp and google play music have). I'm looking if I can get the current frequency the same way the widget does. Maybe I can show a proof of concept later tonight. I think this will come in handy for people (like me) that don't have steering wheel controls!

---------- Post added at 10:14 ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 ----------

Nette resultaten. ;)

Where did you get these antenna's? Would like to get a link and replace it. Do you have one or two connected? I believe you can connect two if you solder them.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
I guess it won't work. I see that the manufacturers trend to block a wide range of devices that you can attach/connect...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Mate,

If you mean that i also put the BT on and calling when i did the test?

the answer is no, besides, i have only one antenna connected to the hu but not 2 as in your case it is and i soldered nothing as you did so its a bit different from your situation mate!

I will perform another test and with the Bluetooth On (Calling my home bossss.. haha) You'll hear from me!

Don't count on them or on any of those re-sellers company mate, they just selling the product.. nothings more.. but only on yourself and some nice guys on this forum too.. if they have the time to reply ofcourse!!

You too, i wish you a very sunny & shining day.

Cheers. Should I get the black antenna's or the white 4G one? Does the 4G antenna also work just wifi? Do I need those adapters to use the 4G antenna?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
Spent some time on my little app which controls the FM Radio! Pretty happy with the result so far. What this app does it create a notification with buttons like some media player apps have on Android. You can go to a next and previous channel, and turn the radio on and off with this app. This can be done from all screens, so you don't need the radio app to be open, or be on your homescreen with the widgets to change the channel.

This can come in handy for people without SWC. I'm going to investigate if I can add native Android media controls next! That way BT devices and keyboards that send the media control commands should also work!

Let me know what you think!: https://youtu.be/JNUAi0KNGmM

If you would like to help me, have ideas, or whatever let me know!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Mate,

No, the black antenna one is as an reserve one and -because i was not 100% sure of the white 4G antenna one that gonna working ok with the hu so- and only if you gonna solder a second antenna on your wifi (mobo) if you wish too ofcourse?

but also if you really think that it will be better to have it outside of the dash like in the glove box or somewhere else in your car like on the corner of your car windows => as you can see it has a nice suction cup (zuignaap)... beside i just bought it with it because it cost -me- almost nothing (a few €uro) and as an reserve antenna one too in case of... so that's why.

The white one has an 18dbi.. the black one has only 15dbi and working with 2400mhz only.. "Our" hu's wifi's works on a 2400mhz and the withe one is from 700 to 2600Mhz.. a bit better.

Today i've received the hooked sma connector too.. see pictures!

BT + WiFi Problem:

This what i really think about the Bt and WiFi problem;

it has to do with a poor power supply (feeding) , because the stability of any good signal and component has to do with an sufficient feeding to have and tha's why this problem appears.

Solution?:

If someone has alot of experience with electro things and measure etc. he may measure the power supply (feeding) of the BT&WiFi when he is on calling and i'm pretty sure he gonna solder a feeding elco on it.. that's what i ever did, soldered an feeding elco by an electro shop on my 2 STB-Tuners (Sat => signal malfunctions) when the hd signal was not ok at all and its works 100% since then.. so maybe its gonna solving the case!?!

Ps: the white 4G one is only a wifi antenna but is made for a better signal receiving!!

Hey guys,

nice Thread here.

Do I understand right? Noone realy solved the BT/WLAN problem?

My WLAN over Tethering on Smartphone Connection ist OK, but when i get call over BT, then I have a big Sound Problem. When WLAN is turned off, then Phone BT Quality is awesome.

Did it helped to solder new Cable and antennas? Which one i have to buy then there? 2x WLAN 2,4 Ghz Antennas and 2x RG178 RP SMA Cables?

Do you have a link for the black extension wire (and hook connector). Gonna buy it to and put the antenna somewhere else.

Something else.

Still haven't​ figured out how to disable Bluetooth. Does anyone had the same issue and solved it? Maybe with Malaysk rom?

Test BT On And Off & also the Black antenna is done!!

Guys,

As promised!..

I've already performed the BT On and Off test and also i've tested the black antenna one too, the bt gives minimum 18+ mbps and max 40 mbps (i called my family lives 50km far away.. can't show the number due to privacy!) On and the sound was also Ok so I choose the white above the black antenna one, i've tested the black one inside and also outside the car too but the result was not really super and not stronger than the white one too, so i'm happy with the purchase of the white antenna, this one did its job excellent!!

Ps1: for the soldered guys, i think if you can use 2 white antenna's at the sametime maybe you get much better result than me?

p2: the wifi signal is not 100% stable enough from these hu's.. not continuous power supply (feeding) or a bit too short maybe?!

I hope i have informed you enough ;)

Dab+

I use the dab+ for listening to radio as the fm is shutting down in Norway. It's good and stable in city near areas, but not good moving out of the city. My former Sony was far better, and original players in other car don't have the same problem. I guess the reason for this is the antenna that follows along with it. I'm talking about the usbdab dongle (mine is xtrons)

My question is, are there others that have replaced the antenna/aerial? Anyone with a active antenna with extra phantom feed? My car has a dab aerial in the roof (Mondeo mk4), I've tried with an without power, but this has really bad reception on the usbdab. Wondering if a Funke window glass antenna will be better.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] BlueVan:
I also live in a poor DAB signal area - the Peak District in England. Officially a zero signal zone. My friend's new Audi gets no signal here. I tried the Xtrons windscreen antenna for a few weeks, mounted on the screen and powered off the HU. Of course no signal where I live but also very poor in cities, on motorways, in fact most places I visited. I tried a home made dipole following instructions from the internet but this was useless. In the end I bought a Kinetic DRA6001 from Dabonwheels.com, took a deep breath and cut a hole in the roof of my van to fit it. I used the HU 12v feed which is actually only 11.6 volts. The result is not too bad. No signal where I live of course, but fine in cities. Not quite as good as the Audi but OK. Going on holiday it was great, all the way down the M1, M25 and M20 to Dover. When I got to France a few days ago the DAB app would crash immediately. I rebooted the machine and some apps were "optimised" during boot, maybe the DAB app was one. It no longer crashes, finds many stations with strong signal but no sound can be heard. I'll let you know if I fix this.

My feeling is that the Xtrons DAB dongle is low gain compared to OEM DAB like my friend's Audi. It may be that the OEM units use diversity antennae and that makes a difference but I believe many use the Kinetic-type single powered antenna and work perfectly.

The Xtrons DAB app seems pretty fragile. It crashes a lot. It should just update the list of available channels in the background like an OEM unit instead of forcing me to start a search. But at least I have DAB most of the time. You won't be interested but the FM is very good off the DRA6001 too.

Regarding the bt + wifi issue, I have used xposed edge pro to turn of wifi when bt app started, and turn on again when bt app lost focus. Works ok, but I can't find out which trigger to use when incoming call, and the app is only running in minimized mode with the call bar at the bottom. Tried the incoming call trigger etc, but this won't give trigger. Tried the other bt app states, but nothing. If we could make this work, it's a workaround for the same time problem for wifi and bt... anyone knows the app state or action started when calls in or out from phone directly (not via the hu bt app) ?

How did i test it?

Mate,

My car is on my private driveway, near the door, 10mtrs away from my wifi modem..

The picture with * 79 mbps is taken without bt on and without any call.

The picture with 65 mbps is only with bt on without any call.

The picture with 18 mbps, i called my fam and we talked to each other until the test was done!.

The picture with 39 mbps, i asked my family to call me after 1 minute back, and we talked to each other until the test was done!.

Why do i have now 79mbps and yesterday but only 55 mbps max? simply, * I've put it my Asus 87u router at 40mhz, it was at 20mhz, with 20mhz i got on my hu wifi signal of max 72mbps, but at 40mhz i get 150mbps max now.

So therefore the signal strength has risen up.

Ps: go to your Asus ac87u (If you already have or have purchased it?) and by wireless set the channel bandwidth on 40mhz (= stronger width wifi signal) , Not on 20/40 (auto)!!

TomTom W.Europe Download Speed

Mate,

This is the first time after 2 px3 and 2 px5 head units which i had and have that i ever could even thinking about downloading tomtom west europe map (5GB!!!) on these hu's (never have it on any of those 2 hu's before and i have 300mbps a 500mbps internet speed line) and at such speed!

The speed test shown at this very moment is 88,86 MBps!!

For this reason i've diceded to purchase a second white 4G antenna one in case if i ever thinking about solder a second wifi antenne on the mobo of this px5 hu one, before they sell it out.

Indeed, i'm very happy with such 4G antenna, In comparison to that antenna of poor quality which is came with the hu... No, but it sound like an advertise for them... hahaha :)

Ps: Asus ac87u was on 20mhz and now on 40mhz, look to the big difference.
