VW PX5 MTCD_GS_V2.12_1 Radio problem

Hi Guys..

My first post here... and now with a problem maybe later on with some solutions also.. :))

I have a VW type PX5 unit and my Radio looses presets every now and then.. it is driving me crazy... also BT Echo is HUGE.. i have a external mic and tried also without it but there is no difference.. Regarding the WiFi issue everyone is typing about i have fair signal quality since i am using my iPhone as hot spot inside of the car.. Other thing that is bothering me is that apps like navigon ( i use payed version and it is working ok when it is working :) wont start automaticly.. it would be great if this "hybernation" will not kill all running apps.. also "Stock" DVR app that is preinstalled in ROM is useless since it is not displaying location speed date time etc... i use payed version of AutoBoy and i am happy with it.. if i could only make it start with the car along with Navigon (navigon is for me important to start automaticly because of safety camera warnings)

I have Android version 6.0.1 with sec path dated at october 1, 2016 build number px5-userdebug 6.0.1 MXC89L

MCU version is MTCD_GS_V2.12_1 in about machine i have also 3.10.0 chun@hctr930 #98 dated 12.01.2017

On first page in this thread is under latest firmware listed version 6.0 and i have donloaded it, i am not sure is this 6.0 or 6.0.1 but vith latest build.. also i have noticed some improvments have bean done regarding the radio in change log in same post so i was wondering how can i make a backup of my curent rom and FW and is it a good idea to try with a ROM from first site..

Any kind of help would be grat... Thank you all..

Ivan

Corolla 2015 PX5 headunit

Hey guys

I just got my head unit from dasaita (10.2 PX5 corolla 2015 HA2101-V600 ) I received a prado 2014 canbus decoder along with it. My issue is that the HU is getting no information from the car, everything seems to work but I think the decoder is not working ( not compatible maybe ) the SWC is not working and no information from A.C. nor the doors nothing in car controls work, can you please help me in finding where is the issue and how to solve it? I did entre the canbus setting and tried different toyota canbus types with no luck.... thank you guys for all the great work and information you supported me with so far.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] pdappcgeek:
I'm trying to install steering wheel controls...

How do I know if my car is canbus?

I have a 2008 Honda Accord

I would need a canbus adapter?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
What did you ecpect from the can bus?

Which are the data managed by can bus?

Not all the can bus boxes can control everything of the car.

Most of them can-bus boxes are only for swc controls or just for reverse signal

First. Plug without can-bus and check if can-bus is really needed. I suspect that your car has resistive swc signals and No can-bus needed

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Eiboo:
Thanks a lot for your reply i think It should be through can bus. Any how can you please advice me how to connect my SWC without the can bus please? I saw a lot of corolla in YouTube were they can get different kind of information through the can bus so I thought it would be the same.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
The key1 and key2 wires of the headunit connect them to the corolla plug (at least the key1)

Check the plug of your headunit and identify the key1 and key2 wires.

Connect them in a provisional way bypassing the canbus box and check if works

Hello:

Some days ago I received my unit and I mentioned that the brightness seemed too high. After a few days, I think the panel is defective. I dont know if pictures will show it, i've taken a photo of the panel and a screenshoot of the head unit as seen in my notebook, both images should look similar, but if you look at the colors, head unit seems not to have any contrast.

Head unit:

[IMG="Head unit"]http://i67.tinypic.com/fedxtx.jpg[/IMG]

Notebook:

Side by side:

[IMG="side by side"]http://i64.tinypic.com/2uj01fr.jpg[/IMG]

My concern is that this unit is a replacement of other unit that have a problem with the DVD drive, and the first one the panel was perfect, in fact the diferences between the old unit panel and this one is huge.

I dont know if I have to return it for a problem like this and ask for a reimburshement because I'm a little tired of this.

Any advice?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
I missed something.

You have a photo of your unit showing the lack of vividness on colors

But I can't understand where you get the notebook's picture for the unit. When did you taken the photo shown on notebook?

This is my Intel sofia display with morning light (I will post one with darkness to be comparable) I don't have any complaint at all (hotaudio display, according to your picture the launcher seems to be a hotaudio)

(Tried to upload image without success)

[MTCD Android Head Units General] corpcd:
On the main screen of the head unit I took a screenshoot using the marshmallow screenshoot tool. I transfered the screenshoot to my notebook and opened it.

In the end, the panel of the head unit and the panel of the notebook show the same thing, interpreting colors, hence the differences, in the head unit there are no vivid colors, in the notebook, colors are ok, for example, greens, oranges, reds, and the pink in the head unit is not pink, is, in fact, it is fuchsia.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
Ok. It is clear.

Obviously the quality of your netbook's display is much higher that the one on your headunit.

I will try this evening to upload a photo of my display to compare

Enviado desde mi D6603 mediante Tapatalk
[MTCD Android Head Units General] corpcd:
Ok, thank you.

Obviously the quality of my notebook should be higher than the head unit, but the difference is huge, and I tried another unit (the one i returned) which did not have this contrast at all, colors were much more vivid. Also my mobile has better contrast.

I've uploaded a video, I think the differences are more clear here:

Hi!

As I was saying some days ago, after upgrading the ROM I'm not able anymore to replicate the trick to keep Macrodroid from being killed when unit goes in stand by. It seems that activating the Macrodroid service also under Accessibility options could do it, but that setting is also auto resetted to "off" when in stand by! :(

Of course, that's my unit, you can try with yours if you have more luck...

Anyway, I managed another way to get where I want.

It's not easy and it's not free, but it works.

You need to root your device.

You need to install Xposed framework.

You need to install Xposed Edge pro module (it's a paid app).

Edge pro is a powerful app that - among many other things - let's you set up actions to be executed when some triggers are fired, just like Macrodroid or Tasker. It's a pain in the ass to set up, but it works... And by working at "xposed level", it will never be killed by system stand by!

Under "More triggers" category, you can find "System boot" and "screen on" events, where I have put the following actions:

- App > Macrodroid (starts Macrodroid, where I set up more macros because it's more easy and powerful than Edge module)

- Home (go to home screen, so I don't see the Macrodroid screen every time I start the unit. Not Always working, but most of the times it is...)

Of course you can add whatever app you want to launch at startup.

I've found another great use for Edge pro: "substitute" system apps with others!

I hate default music player, but it's the only one that's started when I push Mode button on SWC. So I've set up Edge pro this way:

Again under "More triggers", App started > Music

- Kill app > Music

- App > Poweramp (or whatever you want, of course)

So, when default Music app is started, it's immediatly killed and the app you really want it's started. The good thing is that the process is so fast that you will never notice it! And of course you can do the same with other system apps like video player and so on...

Hope this will help. ;)

I know, but I've seen two head units (same model) and the first one the panel has way better than the one I currently have.

Perhaps your unit has not calibrated the LCD. Or just faulty. Calibration (afaik) can only be done at factory.... but contact your seller about your impressions...

Yes, it looks like that's the best option, though I guess they'll say the panel is all right.

Bluetooth limitations & Bass

Hello,

I m new user of this HU (xtrons). I m happy to be able to change the display density (shell command "wm density 200" after root / live change) !! ouff !

I have two problems for me:

1/ one is bluetooth limitations:

- I can connect only to one device at the same time for standard SPP (Serial) connection

- Impossible to connect the unit to my mobile phone by tethering bluetooth

- impossible to connect with headset

Is it a bluetooth limitation or only drivers ? (what is the chip "MD725" in the 126 menu)

2/ bass is poor (my Audi radio was great and very better).

- is there a possiblity to add bass ? better equalizer/amplifier app for direct hardware configuration ?

or

- is it possible to connect external amplifier "before" this amplifier ?

Thank you for your help

Hello and (sorry for my English), I recently bought this android radio (px5) for my car (chevrolet cruze)

I currently have a problem and I do not know the origin.

When I start playing a song, it freeze for 1 second, after about 3 songs, it also randomly freeze for about 3 seconds.

I have tried with 3 different players, the music is stored in the music folder of the internal memory.

(I have replayed the songs with this problem but it does not happen again, therefore it is not the song), I have also disabled the battery saving mode for the players but the problem persists.

Anyone with this problem? Any ideas?

FM is analogic tuner on board, standard analogic aerial as usual

DAB is on Digital tuner key (usb port), you need a DVB-T antenna. The kit is sold by Xtrons (usb stick and windshield aerial)

They are two distinct platform. They co-exist. (Norway except)

Hi guys, with Malaysk ROM the shutdown issue has been fix ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ziggimon:
You can actually repurpose your existing car antenna to be used as both FM and DAB+. I have the Xtrons DAB+ USB key and Xtrons TB706APL and use this antenna splitter: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/connets-2-ct27aa135-radio-dab-dab-sma-aerial-antenna-dab-splitter works wonders and doesn't require you to stick an antenna to the front window.

Where I need splicing the blue cable?

I recently spliced 4 cables to install a button that opens the trunk, I just need to know which cable to splic the blue wire
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ziggimon:
This doesn't do any signal boosting. But both my FM and DAB+ signals are just fine. As it says on the link for it, its for non-amplified car antennas.

The blue wire I spliced into the antenna power wire from the stereo harness. There is a blue wire called ANT on one of the stereos patch cables: As seen here: https://files.markwalker.dk/mazda/HarnessesExplained.jpg

Works wonders.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] YonaEsp:
Okay, I think now I understand, that cable is to feed the antenna and so can be used for digital signal.

(I see the blue wire on my unit: )

I thought that maybe I could connect the antenna of the dongle in the connector of the fm external antenna of the car.

Since I made a change of the antenna to have a shark fin, I lost a lot of strength in the FM signal (I can improve it by changing the design of the antenna, since I did not take it into account).

Maybe with the spliter when receiving blue cable power it has better signal, or I need a signal booster for this?

(sorry for the OT)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ziggimon:
I don't know. You will have to try and find out. Or add an antenna booster after the FM/DAB+ splitter.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] YonaEsp:
Okay thanks you. Do you know if this can work? https://es.aliexpress.com/store/pro...ctive-for-Pioneer-Hot/401939_32755092899.html

(I see that the antenna needs to be fed with the blue wire to work properly so I guess the answer is no, thanks for your help!)

Another question, for DAB+ I need a DAB+ dongle or this depends on the antenna?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] trap63:
You need mandatory a DAB+ stick, the Xtrons one, the only peripheral of which drivers are on unit. There are other sticks but they need driver and software quite similar but not so performing as the proposed stock for these head units.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] YonaEsp:
is this the xtrons? https://www.amazon.es/dp/B06XFP48K7/

The difference with this are the drivers only?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] TPXX:
In regards to the LED illumination problem I had, I solved it. In the factory settings is the LED power setting. I had mine set to headlights on. That does not work, the other option is power, or headlight and power. Choosing either of those lights my LED's. The only draw back is they are on all the time. I asume this is because I did not tie into the canbus as I have no steering wheel controls. I guess the HU has no way to tell if the Headlights are on unless I wired the orange wire to the headlight circuit (which I did not)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] FauxDreams:
Correct, however most vehicles have an illumination wire in the OEM harness that wen't to the factory unit. If you look up your factory wiring you should find this & fix the issue so it is only on while your headlights are on.

Appears to be the top right of the screen around the backlight button, when radio app is open it constantly selects around the 104.1 frequency only on cold starts in the morning, unit is 3days old.

The one in my main car (E39) is fine and has never had an issue.

Will need to contact them :crying:
