I did install yesterday (sorry buy I hadn't time to update it into my thread) but I found it erratic.

I found that it increases volume...but sometimes it does not decrease it so...finally you have a super high volume

Did you experience this?

When time.passes I found more recursively that my usb ports are not mounted during waking up.

I don't know what causes it.

The only way I have tried to match OBDLink LX is explained in this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71565533&postcount=76

In the PX5 Bluetooth app you have to change the name from CAR-KIT to OBDLink LX and the passkey from 0000 to 1234.

This way you can pair OBDLink LX.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SomebodySysop:
Do I have to unpair the phone first?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] apollo1976:
When I paired OBDLink LX I had not yet paired the phone.

You can try to see if it works with the paired phone, otherwise you will delete the phone and try again.

What worked for me with my Xtrons PB96/Xtrons OBDII was to pair the OBD with my phone first, then mysteriously the HU would pair with the OBDII.

Had to do it again after a system update and the trick worked again.

Sounds crazy I know but it was Xtrons advice on their forum: http://forum.xtrons.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=144091&title=pb96mtvapl-not-seeing-obdii-unit

They never explained why the trick works though.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] droc.noles:
How about with normal Android / unit audio? I still haven't gone full external amp with USB DAC on my end because of this glitching across the board so I'm interested in how this affects audio when using the unit's built in amp / RCA outs. Might have to test this later... Thanks for the insight.

I updated my MCU to a HA 2.52, but now my Radio doesn't show RDS anymore. Only the frequency. Worked fine on my GS 2.43 before.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Tomavensis:
I'm having some volume issues with my PX5 Witson unit (MX). There is a big difference in volume between the FM radio and for example, Spotify. FM radio is way louder. I boosted the volume in the 'secret' settings menu (all to 20), but still the volume of Spotify is really low. The funny thing is, alarms from the Android system itself have the same (loud) volume as the FM radio.

Any idea on how to boost the volume of Spotify a bit?

Just a quick question to you all. Are these units worth buying? I have stock stereo at the moment in my kia ceed 2010 and i listen to spotify via bluetooth and make calls everyday. Is it stable? I want to upgrade because of GPS and android.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] bm282:
I'm not sure what the Kia is like, but let me give you my experience.

I was concerned about going to these head units. I have an Alfa 159 which has a Kenwood high end unit GPS etc (with Apple Car Play), that I just installed. AUD1800 for it. IT can't connect to a wifi hotspot though.

I have Mazda 3 (2007) in which I fitted the custom Fit PX5/MTCD. Cost AUD600. My daughter uses Spotify and I can connect it up to a nearby wifi on my network and load down all her songs so don't use 4G. Connecting to wifi can be a problem on some units if you are too far away, but I have a portable wifi WAP I can put right near the car, so no problems. I'm about to upgrade my MTCD firmware to see if that helps, then add an antenna if it doesn't.

Apart from no Apple Car Play, the Android is as good - if not better - than the Kenwood. I can connect up camera recording and ODBII for monitoring the car electronics which I can't do with the Kenwood. (And it actually helped me know I needed to get my auto transmission fixed before it became a problem - that the service people had ignored!!!)

I've even thought of selling the Kenwood and putting in a PX5 to my Alfa 159 when the 2Gb octave core comes available in a custom fit as it looks so much better.

So - frankly I'm surprised - just how good these units are!!

Good luck on decision making!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] WarSpaz:
Cheers for the answer! Think i'll take the chance and order one.

There are allready custom px5 units for my car, and from what i can read steering wheel controls will work out of the box:

7" Android 6.0 Autoradio Headunit For Kia Ceed 2010 Venga DVD GPS Navigation RDS Stereo WiFi DAB 2GB RAM 32GB Flash 8 Core CPU

Also at USD $330 with an included back cam, i cant argue about the price.

Edit: correct link
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bm282:
THAT IS A QUAD CORE - NOT OCTA CORE! It only has 1Gb of memory. See if you can find a PX5 MTCD Octa core with 2Gb of memory. IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!

Phew!!! I was really worried you were going to get the wrong device!!! LOL!!!

Only thing I would add is the OBDII so you can monitor your car's electronic system - plus its performance. Its quite helpful!

I put a reverse camera on mine as well.

Mine is a KGL unit, whereas this is an MX unit- I don't know anything about these. Might be worth a search.

Have fun when you get it!!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] WarSpaz:
Yeah i was thinking of getting an obd also ? about the unit being KGB vs mx i got the impression all units are "kinda" the same, with small to minimal differences

[MTCD Android Head Units General] bm282:
I think in general thy are all kinda the same, but there do seem to be some differences - whether they really matter is up for conjecture.

However, I'd stay away from the KGB brand or you might end up in a gulag!!!! LOL!!!!! (Typo I know, but it made me smile!):good::good::good:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] WarSpaz:
God damn it autocorrect. KGB, soviets finest stereos, now for Lada!

But yeah, they all are running same SOC and most other hardware. Also alot of mcu's are interchangeable, that only shows how much alike the different units really are.

I have this issue when the last player used is Play music before it goes to deep sleep. To fix it, I turn on fm radio, let it play for 30 seconds before going back to play music and skipping to the next song. Then the distortion/pops goes away..seems to be an issue with deep sleep just like the fader drift that​ occurs too..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SomebodySysop:
Tried every which a way, but just won't work. I believe I have the latest OBDLink LX firmware, and it always waits for a random 6 digit pin. I renamed OBDLink LX to OBD2, but no way to set password. I'll just have to wait until they fix the BT to work correctly. I'm pretty happy with all the other features of the px5 unit anyway.

Thanks for the help.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] apollo1976:
I'm sorry you did not get to match OBDLink LX.

In my case I succeeded by changing the name from CAR-KIT to OBDLink (see photo).

Anyway I ordered this model:

https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B014WHK27W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Unfortunately, even though I have paired the OBDLink every time I turn on the car the device is not recognized.

If the device I ordered is ok, I decided to sell the OBDLink LX.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] jukimukikuki:
Hi,

I have some issues with my unit. One of it is the WiFi. When the unit starts up I need manually tap once on the WiFi Symbol to go to the Wifi menu of Android, to activate it. Can I somehow enable that the Wifi is always enabled?

Also I have the RTL2832 DAB+ Stick with the Wavesink App and the driver from the PlayStore. When only the stick is connected Wavesink works without any problems, but when I connect 2 USB deices to the radio it seems that the driver gets confused and Wavesink tells me it has connection problems with the USB device. Does somebody of you have similar issues?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] apollo1976:
Unfortunately I can not help you :(

But with the RTL2832 stick and the Wavesink app you can change the channels using the steering wheel controls? Is reception good?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] jukimukikuki:
Hi,

I have not tried yet the steering wheel buttons, I still need to connect them to my HU. The reception is better than with any other DAB box I had till now. Before I had a PX3 with several DAB Boxes and all had bad reception or connection problems. Since I have the PX5 and the RTL2832 Stick everything is working perfectly. It is important to have a good antenna, the antenna shipped with the USB Stick is very bad, so you have to buy one. I already had a good roof antenna so I bought a MCX adapter for my antenna cable and plugged it in the stick.

I bought the Stick from the first post via eBay.

Today I had the problem that Wavesin isn't recognizing the USB Stick again, but today there was no device connected to the unit besides the RTL2832 Stick. To solve this issue I need to clean always all User Data of the App using the Android Settings. Does anyone else have this problem?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Tomavensis:
Not yet, with that i can probably 'level' all the volumes yes. But the main reason for my question is, to get Spotify/VLC just as loud as the FM radio. When I listen to the radio, I rarely use a volume higher then +/-6. When I use spotify/VLC I have to turn it up to at least 15 or 16 to get it just as loud.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] aarick:
Vlc/Spotify uses system volume..fm radio uses radio..so it should fix your issue. Mine is set the opposite where I have radio at +3 and system at +1..seems to get my play music and fm radio at a similar level..although mobdro is very soft..I wish there is an xposed module that allows volume control on a per app level within android..

Update Stock ROM - Do I lose my apps???

Hi, I am not sure if I understand what happens when updating the Android stock ROM - I've searched, but not being Android savvy, I would like clarification of the impact of doing a Android update.

Principally, I would like to know what happens to the 'standard' Apps on my headunit - particularly the Nav (iGo and maps for my country) and apps such as Torque... Do these get deleted, overwritten or untouched with an Android Stock ROM update? Or does it depend on the update? If the stock apps are deleted, how do I reinstall (specifically the iGO and maps for my country)?

I'm sure this is a dumb noobie question, but I would like to understand what happens BEFORE I do an update to the Android part. (I understand whats happens for the MTCD part, just everyone's knowledge of the Android is so much greater than mine.)

Thanks for any help in broadening my knowledge.

New question. After many of you advised Poweramp, I installed it. Looks like a great app, to bad it's a paid one.

What I am wondering, can I make Poweramp the 'standard' music app? So when I use the mode-button it goes to Poweramp directly? In settings/standard apps, you can only choose browser.

I don't have root (yet...).

Shutdown

I have a problem: previosly I had a px3 and when I remove the key car the device shutdown and If I close the car after 10/20 minutes the device restart from the logo. Now with px5 the device goes to standby but even after 10 hours the unit restart automactly from standby and not boot from logo.

Same positive connection but on this Iso wiring there ia the possibility to disconnect power at a power wire..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] nadkp:
That is not a problem, it is a feature.

Depending on your actual unit and the version of your mcu (must be higher than 2.43 i guess), you can set a timeout after some minutes like in your old px3 unit to shutdown the unit after power loss. Otherwise the unit will always remain in standby and "boot up" quickly but it won't drain your car battery much
[MTCD Android Head Units General] AlexRuhl:
Where can I set shutdown? In secret menu?

The thing that I don't like it's that when I close the car with remote the headunit restart and go in standby in a pair of second
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
You need mcu version 2.52 or higher (and specific brands implemented it like HA - dasaita)

Depending on your original manufacturer you can move to HA mcu or not. Check a thread for compatibility/crossing mcus

Anyone else had issues with GPS after updating to MTCD_KLD_v2.51? I was on v2.46 and everything was working great. Now my GPS is barely recognized, and if it is, it works for 1 minute out of every 5 minutes.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
Are you sure that was the only change you've made? I'm not sure, but I think that the MCU board has anything to do with the GPS module.... Double check your antenna.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
Having magnets near the antenna cable corrupts the signal..

I had a hard drive near passing cables and GPS acted weird.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] brandontmyers:
Correct, that is the only change that was made. I noticed it immediately as well.

Is it possible to downgrade back to 2.46 to see if it works with that version?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
Yes, you can try to downgrade
[MTCD Android Head Units General] brandontmyers:
Is it possible to use a different firmware than KLD? Such as use HA firmware on my KLD head unit?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
Only if you are brave enough. Some units were discovered to be somehow compatible, but KLD was not reported as one of them. Better not mess with it.

But again, I don't think that the MCU has anything to do with the GPS. I think the GPS module is directly integrated in to the Android board...

You can read this article: https://xdaforums.com/wiki/Generic_Android_Head_Unit/MCU_Explained
[MTCD Android Head Units General] brandontmyers:
Gotcha! Thanks for the help. Looks like I may need a new GPS antenna.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
As @Nomader0 said, maybe you don't need a new antenna, just need to move the wire away from magnets or other radio emitting wires...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] brandontmyers:
I actually moved it around for the past few days to see if it would help. Seems to be continuously deteriorating. When I first set it up, there were times that it was in direct sunlight. I am guessing that the heat from direct sunlight in the summer can negatively affect it.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SwigriD:
Thanx :) that was it. I thought it was only for factory reset, that's why I never bothered to try it
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
Mate, I'm using the GPS antenna from my old unit and believe me I was not very friendly with it. I got my unit(s) in and out for tens of times and sometimes forgot to unscrew it from my unit when pulling out.

Also, mine is placed right under the windshield in direct sunlight. For me it sounds improbable to be broken from what you are saying. Have you checked if it is firmly screwed in the back of the unit? Maybe it is slowly unscrewing every day, while you drive.

But most probably you have the wire near something magnetic. Try to change the entire path of the wire.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] brandontmyers:
I will give that a shot this weekend! Thanks so much for all of your help. Cheers!

WiFi

A simple way to improve the WiFi is to lead the two antenna wires thru the holes in the top cover to the outside of the case. Maybe you have to drill one of the ventilation holes a little bigger.

After this the WiFi reception is MUCH better.
