Thanks for the reply, i thought that all the manufacturers ROMs were pretty the same with some graphic difference or some different features. There is a suggested or trend rom actually? Or can i choose it randomly?

So AF does not work with px5 too? I thought it was a px3 problem only...

Any suggestions for Maps?

Have any owners of a model with soft touch buttons installed Malaysk on their unit?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] akispavlopoulos:
I have an LM unit and i have the same problems with you in the 2 and 4 remarks.

The Google Maps is too light, I can't see anything! I have install Malaysk's rom and I have seen some options about contrast in the settings( they say "exerimental") . I'll try some of them and I'll post the results...

About the bluetooth, I don't know... maybe it is a limitation of the software...

Have an GS and MX unit and I have the same problems with you in the 1.

No one has an answer. They say a bad antenna.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mike2587:
Bad news, so also with Malaysk rom Maps is still broken...The AF and Bluetooth things are very problematic for me, because I use radio and Bluetooth calls very often...

Unable to root

Hi everyone!

Awesome community, thanks for all the info thus far! I successfully set up and customized 3 of these so far.

I have a two part question. My current px5 recently died. I was running waze (for traffic alerts), g-maps(for directions), and the Comedy Central app (listening to some stand up comedy on my drive) all at once, while the apps were set in split screen. Then the screen turned black randomly. The thing seems 100% dead. I used these apps simultaneously a lot in the past with no issues, but with all that stuff open and repeatedly doing that, my guess is it overheated? I took it apart and dont see any visible damage. Anyone have any thoughts?

Second, and more important question! I got a replacement. And after much struggling, it WILL NOT root!! I successfully rooted 3 of these before this with no issues using Kingo root. Maybe they patched the root method? I did JUST buy this new one. The MCU is dated from 8/2017, which is more recent than all the others I was able to root. I have been searching xda and the interwebs and unable to find a solution. It sounds like the version of Kingoroot might make a difference though? Someone recently stated v4.2.8 works. I cant find that one... anyone have a .apk file they mind sharing?? Otherwise, anyone have any other thoughts on why I cant root (after doing it no problem 3 other times)?? If all else fails, maybe I could flash a ROM that is already rooted via the update thru SD card menu?

halp?

Hey guys.. need your help. My current Android Radio just crashed (as in cannot be switched on again). Brought it to the shop and its confirmed that i need a new HU.

Any suggestions for Mazda 6 (2014-2015)?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rex_vitis:
Did so today, and it works flawlessly!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
What about this?

Fully integrated into Mazda cx5 and Mazda 6

It allows the wipers/lights/doors settings like in the stock unit.

I have the 4GB Oreo Canbus version for the Mazda 6. Is the "Talk" button on the steering wheel mapped to anything? On mine, it is mapped to nothing and the steering wheel app does nothing either. Seller says that it cannot be changed since it is preset Canbus. I can map it with MTCKeys but I would like to have it mapped to "Home" but that's not an option.

Just wondered if anyone can help with what I’ve done to my sd card.

Probably a couple of month ago I clicked on something that said something like “use sd card for photo and music” or something along them lines and since then it doesn’t show the sd card logo on the bar at the top of the screen and I have tried it in both slots.

I changed my mcu not long back from kgl to gs and saved the old mcu config tonthe sd card. when I put the sd card back in the unit it didn’t auto detect the update to mcu like it normally would and i couldn’t get the mcu config back onto the unit so I had to do the config manually and I had to go into settings and click update for it to find the new mcu update.

Anyone any idea what I’ve done? I’ve looked through all the settings and the only thing I can see to do is to format the sd card, I can’t find anything to reverse what I clicked on before.

Thanks

Hi guys, I've just installed a reversing camera on my Xtrons PB86UNVP head unit with Malays Rom 7.2. The camera shows the usual overlayed lines which can be turned off. I noticed that the radio itself can show reverseing lines which seem to be more precise according to my car's reversing acoustic warning. What's generally your favorite setting? Camera or head unit handled ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Sylvan151:
Camera lines
[MTCD Android Head Units General] sharky110:
Thanks for your answer Sylvan, but why? Is there a difference? Head unit's reverseing lines seem more precise (and better shaped) to me. Is it just a matter of personal taste or there are good reasons to chose one or the other?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SkyBeam2048:
What about no lines at all? My camera shows a part of the bumper too. I dont need any inaccurate, ugly-looking lines telling me an estimated distance in an unknown scale to see when an object comes close.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] sharky110:
That's the reason why I was dwelling on cutting or not a camera wire that turns the lines off. I could always use the head unit ones should I ever need to have them back. So I am asking you guys, I have no experience at all of these cameras. I am wondering if those lines are any useful
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Sylvan151:
Because it shows better line than the head unit line.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
What have you done to try and repair your current unit ?

Personal preference, which ever you prefer is best.

You dont have an Xtrons unit, BTW, Xtrons are only a seller, you can tell what unit you have by the letters after "MTCD" or "MTCE".

Joying has announced a second revision of zbox device that allows carplay and android auto on their android headunits...

Looking to the description of this video

https://youtu.be/Q2wcH7RXn_g

It says that on octacore units the zbox device is not needed to purchase as android auto and carplay works out of the box. Their octacore units are as well px5 (not mtcd).

Does anybody knows how carplay/android auto works on their units without additional hardware??

Just the zbox software will allow carplay?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
I'd say they either reverse engineered the dongle or encorporated the dongle into the headunit. It's a USB device.

I dont like Joying devices. To many errors in their Firmware and they do not listen to their customers. Just blabla and Youtube videos.

Hi there.

Hope it's the right place to ask...

I have been reading a lot on the forum, but without luck. I have a (I know it's not relevant, but a Xtrons TL109A), which started as a RK3188 Android 5.1.1 MTCD_HH_V2.05_1, Dec 19 2016. RK3188-userdebug 20122016-10.02.02.

I have now upgraded with the Witson px5 4GB/32GB board. px5-userdebug 6.0.1 MXC89L user.hct.20171227.151844 test keys

What are my options, regarding firmware- and mcu-upgrade? I cannot find anything about MTCD_HH

It's used as a universal unit, in an old car, without canbus...

Thanks in advance.

I have GS RK3368 PX5 Octacore (2GB RAM). Can i install WITSON PX5 Octa-Core + 4G RAM + 32GB Flash Coreboard?

What are my options, regarding firmware and MCU-upgrade?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] lr_man:
I made the switch to a Witson PX5 Octa-Core 4 GB RAM + 32 GB Flash, on a RK3188 Quad Core unit (Xtrons TL109A), with 1 GB RAM and 16 GB flash - and it started up as if it always been there :) There is big difference in the performance and "flow". I think it´s as easy on yours, since it's probably the same board, without the "missing" 2 GB Ram. The question is, whether you (from 2 GB to 4 GB) will notice any speed-difference?

I would think that you (if possible and needed), upgrade the MCU for a GS-MCU - upgrade and an firmware-upgrade for a PX5/RK3368. I use the firmware that was onboard the Witson, and looking for a possible MCU-upgrade for a MTCD_HH (HH ?)...

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will come around and guide you better...

Hello and thank you for your prompt response
[MTCD Android Head Units General] pakoner:
Hi guys

I messed up;

in factory setting, in custom I changed 1 to 5 and now I can not see anything anymore. do you know how I can fix it?

:crying::crying::crying:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] :
I think you can still enter into recovery. So you need the backup of factory settings, dmcu.cfg file, flash it from recovery like mcu update. If you have exported the factory settings, the backup must be on the sd card.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
You can upgrade to any GS MTCD/E MCU, you can use any RK3368/PX5 ROM.

Theres no such thing as a "Witson coreboard" all SoMs/coreboards are made by HCT.

If you cant find any HH MCUs then the Cross Compatible MCUs thread will give you advice on using another manufacturer's MCU on your unit.

Hi Typos1

Thanks; i really have tried to find out in the different threads about MCU´s, but without any luck.

Upgrade to PX5 with black screen

Hi there,

this morning I let my installer upgraded my head unit from PX3 (1GB/16) to PX5 (4GB/32) coreboard bought from Witson (here's the link: https: //goo.gl/eNXsXo).

In the hardware side, everything went fine, he did the work really fast but when he power on my HU, sadly just hard button leds work, so I have black screen.

My version info before the upgrade was:

MCU Version

MTCD_JY_V1.74_2

Jul 26 2016 19:14:09

Android Version

5.1.1

kernel version

3.0.101+

chun(at)hctr930 #45

Sat Aug 13 16:04:27 CST 2016

Build number

rk3188-userdebug 15082016. 13:46:05

What I should do? There is a solution to make it boot? Thanks in advance and sorry if my english it's poor!

Hi ikerg, thanks for your quick response. After the upgrade I got black screen. Only lights on hard buttons work... so I can't use it. I'm asking for a solution like force boot from SD or something similar.

Thanks in advance!

What did you upgrade?

MCU? Android Rom? Both?

Which filenames you used ?

Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Goffred0:
Nothing of these... I just bought a coreboard from Witson (PX5 Octa-core 4GB/32) and subsituted with my old coreboard (Rockchip PX3 1GB/16).

I was thinking, according on what I read on the forum, it come with Android 6.0 pre-loaded.. but maybe something went wrong!

Thanks for your patience.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
So...just by replacing the coreboard..you got black sceeen...

Check that coreboard is well plugged into socket.

I don't understand why in the first post you said that hardware was ok and fast. How did you got that conclusion if you got a black screen?

Hi I decided to change my roof aerial on my Renault Captur as it uses a phantom feed so when I changed the original HU for a PX5 I had poor reception on FM and AM and the glass mounted DAB/usb wasn't very good so I bought an amplified Dab and FM/AM aerial from Ebay and the reception is really good now

SOLVED! The solution was in your suggestion: PX3 have a screw in the middle (not present in PX5), so trying to plug well I've noticed to remove also the screw part under the coreboard.

Now everything works good! Thanks mate.

Thats a very old MCU, I would update it ASAP.

But i like to have a Dashcam, where i can record and use the cam as Real View in Sygic´s Navigation App.

Or is it better to use a USB Camera?

Hi! I'm a new PX5 MTCD owner from Italy (I have a no-name KGL unit specific for my Ford Focus). I have not upgraded firmware and MCU yet (I'll try soon!), but meanwhile I've found a way to avoid Macrodroid to be killed on stand by:

you have to activate it under Options/Security/Phone administrators and Apps with usage access (maybe the first one is enough)!

Then I've setup a "startup" macro that launches all the other apps I need when I turn the HU on (you have to use "screen on" event, not "boot"), and some other useful too.

Of course I also use MD on my smartphone to automatically start wifi tethering when it connects to HU BT, so it can give internet access to the car unit!

Hope it will be useful to someone. ;)

Nice one..I'll give it a go in a few weeks when i return home..thanks..

[MTCD Android Head Units General] kovlaszlo:
Hi Guys!

Just finished reading all the posts of the thread. The PX5 platform is quite new, fortunately :)

I have replaced my Parrot Asteroid Smart a week ago with the Xtrons version of the PX5 (TB706APL). I am absolutely happy with my decision, the performance is in a different dimension, and my biggest concern regarding the sound quality is also gone. I would like to avoid rooting as long, as possible. With the Parrot it was inevitable, so I am not afraid of it. I can tell you, the life is much easier with this Chinese device diretly out of the box, than with the Asteroid, after rooting. So far I have installed Sygic, Shazam (for the radio), a GPS tracker, an app that gives me SDVC feature (speed dependent volume control), and flightradar24.

But, I have an issue with the device, that noone else claimed for in this thread: the HU restarts in random cases with a cold boot. First I suspected Sygic, than GPS in general (reboot happend under google maps as well), but it happened once with only the radio running. I have not so many apps... I removed already the ones running in background: SDVC and the GPS tracker, but the problem persisted. It is very annoying that I can not list the running apps, this option is not available in the settings, or I am blind (please help me out in that case :) )... I am planning to do the following:

- install a monitoring app

- using the monitoring I am goig to try to identify the process which makes the problem

- still if the monitoring does not help, I will stick to the concept. I remove all my apps one by one, and check after each if the problem was resolved. Would be good to get the proof, who makes the trouble

- I will also focus on CPU temperature (Btw, advice here would be welcomed: high CPU tempareture results in a shutdown or a restart? I would expect a shutdown, but I can not exclude the other option)

- if this all did not work, then I do a factory reset

- in case the problem still exists, I am going to claim at Xtrons

An interesting additional info: I have a stereo test pad, and I have been using the device for several hours, when I decided to move it to the car. I had no problem at all, until I was using the HU on my desk. The problem occured right during the first trip that I made with the car.

++ interesting info, which answers a doubt that many of you had: according to my measurements the device takes ~10 mA after the ACC is turned off, and it goes to sleep mode. Mathematically-wise It could take years until it drains a car battery :)

EDIT: just checked my notes, it was 1,1 - 1,4 mA also considering the measurement error limit

I plan to keep you updated regarding my problem

Great mate!!

I flashed my Xtrons with latest fw, early april and MCU (GS_2.43.1). No noticeable issue or updates as for the past. Still issue on memory writing permissions on Screenshot stock. Still issue with ODB Link MX (crap as usual these China's), equalizer won't resume after standby and so on, Unit is still more more performant than C500 MT CPU!!

KingoRoot operates as well as and job is done as usual.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Grumpycat62:
SO any of these update.img files will work for my unit???
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kovlaszlo:
OK, I just see that after your PM you quoted me as well, so I copy here the interestig part of my message, I guess it is useful for others as well:

I took a deep breath and paid for Roehsoft "Automatik SDVC für Navigation" (sorry, as a newbie I can not post a link)

I am still not convinced though, that not this is causing my continuous reboot problem, despite that it is now uninstalled. That is the reason why I did not promote it in my post before. I think it may be a bug-risky app, with taking GPS signal and manipulating system volume.

EDIT 27th May 2017: this app does not work for the PX5!

In the other hand, I liked it a lot! You can set which channels it should modify (media, ringtone, system, etc). You can also set sensitivity between 25% and 200% or something like that, whatever the percentage means. In my 2015 VW Jetta 50% was sufficient. There is a setting, where you can decide if it should show on screen the volume control popup, when it is adjusting the volume by himself. In the beginning I turned this on, so I could see that it really works. Later I disabled it, so it was working really seamlessly. I could not hear the steps as it was raising / lowering the volume, I only recognized that I do not have to adjust the volume myself as I am driving faster or slower. It was really smooth and fine!

In case anyone dares to give it a try, please let me know, if you have the problem, that I do. If this app made my problem, the factory reset is going to solve it. As promised before, I am willing to keep you updated how I proceed with my user-approach bug fixing
[MTCD Android Head Units General] TPXX:
Have you flashed to the newest rom yet? That may solve your problem.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ZeligPC:
Some questions, please...

Is it normal that making a call using Google Now voice commands is not working? (It takes the command but the call is aborted immediately after). I hate stock BT dialer and using voice commands would be much better...

I've roted the device now and I'm thinking about instaling Xposed. Is it worth? What modules do you use and think are more useful on this kind of device?

Did you find a way to push notifications from the smartphone to the HU (SMS, Whatsapp) so they could be showed in a popup or readed by voice?

Thanks (more to come, sorry...)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kovlaszlo:
Good point, thank you! I was also considering this option as I was reading the topic today, later I have forgotten. My unit was posted from Hong Kong on 5th April, so I see a chance that it is running the latest firmware already. I can hardly wait to see my car on Starurday, and check which version is it. In case it is not the latest, I will try an update before claiming
