Because this is how car stereos are usually wired plus I ve read lots of people with MTCB/C and MTCD units having battery problems with extended sleeping units like you two, but if youre not getting battery problems then great.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
It draws almost no power, so if your battery isn't complete **** it shouldn't be a problem for weeks. But I believe the GS MCU now also has the power down function if I'm not mistaken, maybe I should look into it just to be sure.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
just to end this whole discussion about sleeping and battery i would like to inform you that i measured the amps the head unit draws while sleeping and while shut down

my car without the head unit connected:25 mA

my car with the unit shut down: 30 mA

my car with the unit sleeping: 30mA

so actually there is no problem leaving the unit sleeping.

from my knowledge anything below 50mA is OK

if i leave my car more than a month i usually remove the cable from the battery.. i always did this since even 25 mA will kill the battery in a matter of 1-2 months

i have left my car with the battery disconnected for 9 months and when reconnected the battery the car started normally
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Lol, that wont end the discussion as many people do have a battery problem with the units never turning off despite the low power consumption, its the subject of many threads. But if it works for some people and doesnt drain the battery then great, I was just warning that it might.

I bought an antenna splitter, but I haven't put it in yet.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Mattsch:
I tried a splitter too, but it did not work for me , as the amplified original antenna on my renault blocked out the dab frequencies in the amplifier.

I know for a fact that on vw group cars you can buy replacement amplifiers that alow the dab signal through, for models that have built in the antenna in the rear window. Trying a splitter is a good and easy solution, but you Can not be sure it Works, especially og your car has and amplified antenna mounted as standard.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
It normally says in the description of the item that it does not work for amplified antennas, I guess it didnt in the one you bought.

Hi,

Can someone tell me how to change the standard media player?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
You dont change it, you install another of your choice, then use MTCD tools or similar to give it the same interactivity with everything as the standard one.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Mattsch:
You can buy splitters for amplified antennas as well, the one i bought was for an amplified antenna, and the splitter works fine , its now installed in an elderly vw passat, but in my 2015 megane, the antenna blocks out the dab frequencies, so its hit and miss with these splitters.

Do you have any other options when limited to a double din? Maybe something like joying that gives you a 10' screen while being able to install in a regular double din opening. But obviosuly px5 based. If you have seen this let me know.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
Double check your room on your car.

Two year ago I had a pioneer mounted on my mazda cx5 by a metra adapter...it fitted perfectly. I moved to the model you pointed (but rk3188) and it didn't fit. I had to slightly modify the adapter (with a dremel) to allow the Nissan unit to be fitted

Enviado desde mi D6603 mediante Tapatalk
[MTCD Android Head Units General] volsmart006:
Thanks ikerg, did you have to make the adapter alittle wider? If so i had to do the same with my current android head unit. A couple mm on the right side of the adapter face plate and it fits snug now.

Im assuming this hu im looking at will fit exactly like the old one. If not i will probably buy a new adapter and modify it, as long as its only a few mm in difference it should be easy to modify again. I was worried that HU would be an extremely different size and shape.

How did you like the screen sitting closer to the surface of the unit? I feel like the HU i have now with physical buttons the screen is too recessed and my fingers have a hard time touching the edges of the screen.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Joying are sellers only, but quite a few of the manufacturers of MTCB/C/D units do versions with 10" plus detachable screens with both RK3188/PX5 and RK3188 PX3 processors, not sure about how it would be in an accident.

RK3188/PX3 devices with 2Gb RAM are pretty good too, no need to write them off, I have both and I cant tell much difference between them speed wise so far.

This is common to double DIN head units, Android or not - there are 2 sizes, metric and imperial the difference is just a few mm as you say.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] volsmart006:
Thanks for this info typos1, i didnt even think to check out RK3188 hu's, there alittle cheaper too. In what order would you place px3 px5 and intel sofia/ atom head units?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Well, as I say, so far I cant tell much difference between the RK3188/PX3 2Gb RAM and the RK3368/PX5, despite what all the people in the RK3368/PX5 threads have said. I havent done extensive testing though, but I certainly didnt notice much difference in boot time. Cant comment on the Sofias though, your ll have to check the threads about them.

I have a GS unit, bought from Xrtons: http://xtrons.com/pb96mtvpl-9-hd-di...reo-custom-fit-for-volkswagen-seat-skoda.html

My wife has the car today, on a long drive, and she's just called me to say that the unit went black as they were driving, and now they can't get it to turn on again. She's tried pressing the power button, holding the power button and turned the car off, opened the doors, and turned it back on. Anything else she can try? Unit has worked flawlessly for months. I have latest MCU from GS and Malaysk 4 on it

EDIT: 30 minutes later, she stopped at a store for at few minutes, and got back in the car, started, and the radio started up. Is there a log somewhere, where I might be able to find out what happened?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] FauxDreams:
Press the reset button on the unit for 5-10 seconds and see if it hard boots.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] alda.cerny:
I'm afraid that the unit has overheated due to its inadequate cooling

Unfortunately, the manufacturers of these units do not count with hot summer temperatures

i think you should add cooler or fan to your head unit, if not your unit can be KO after several such shutdowns
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
I had the same a few weeks ago when I was in Paris and Versailles on vacation. It was 35+ degrees C outside and the car was in the full sun. When I started it the HU was very slow. I don't think adding a fan will solve everything, but it should help. I am also looking to add one. Does anyone know what size would fit? I assume it should be an exhaust like in PC's?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] catu:
Seems like a good explanation. Only thing is, today is not very hot here in Denmark, compared to the times I've had the car in direct sunlight, and started with no problems. Hmmm
[MTCD Android Head Units General] alda.cerny:

i have add this in my head unit http://noctua.at/en/nf-b9-redux-1600
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
Ah, so I have to cut a hole in the top for the fan. Sounds reasonable, but I would have to take a look if that will work for me, because the HU is pretty snug in my dashboard! I can try to stick on some heatsinks though. Have a few laying around still. Gotta buy some adhesive cooling paste and see. What app do you use to check temps?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] alda.cerny:
i add only fan into my case without cutting a hole, so far it looks like that's enough

on my PX5 unit i cannot measure a temperature with apps, i think all units with PX5 have this measure forbidden, i wrote my experiences with temperature here https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...ip-px5-a53-t3586622/post72937263#post72937263
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
So where did you put it? How well does it work? Where do you connect it? Do you have a picture for me? Does it push or pull air? Do you think a few heatsinks (like shown on some threads you linked) would help as well? Have a few laying around, all I would need is some adhesive thermal paste (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100013).

Too bad we can't measure temperatures. Looks useful in those other threads to measure the actual difference!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] alda.cerny:
Unfortunately, I did not do any photos, I'm still in beta testing, I do not have much time now, I'll try to add some photos within 1 week

I buyed small heatsinks http://www.ebay.com/itm/5pcs-lot-20...994dfe&pid=100011&rk=1&rkt=12&sd=191452112699, but I have not given them there yet (i will add only one heatsink to procesor)

I had my car in repair for one month, now I have my car back so I can continue to test the cooling
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
Thanks, looking forward to some pictures! I'll try to fit some heatsinks to see if it makes a difference.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] pakoner:
This is my mod
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Klyde units used to have a fan, then they removed it, you can see the hole blank on the back where it was. There is a proper thread in the MTCB section, the thread linked to earlier was not about MTC units and contains some bad advice. The fans in the links are way too big, you only need a small one about 3cm across, you need to fit a heat sink and either have the fan blow onto the heat sink, or if you use the hole at the back blow out of the unit. Do NOT have it suck air in or you will fill your unit with dust, do NOT connect it to the car heating system - the hot air will cool it just fine (30 deg C is ok) but the air con will likely ruin your unit. Klyde MTCB/C motherboards have a connector for a fan, not sure about other makes.

GS 2.56

Hi,

Just received an info from Xtrons support, that there is new version of GS firmware: here you have details

Yes we have a newer version of the PB update. You can find it below. If problems persist you may need to contact the seller of the unit and ask them for a repair or replacement unit.

To use the Firmware please download the file using the link provided.

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjrY0uqbW_kBg19qmf9RSC9ZbgXP

Extract the files and copy them on to a micro SD card which is then placed into the GPS card slot. The firmware should begin to update automatically but may require you to confirm that it is okay to begin, you may need to hard reset with the reset button to begin. Leave the unit to fully update before trying to use the unit.

If you require the use of DAB+ app after the update then you will need to reinstall the app with the APK file from below.

hi guys

this may be slighty off topic but i need to power up my xtrons outside of the car. ive got a pc psu and i have connected the yellow and red from the head unit to the +12v and groind to ground and also the green wire from the psu to ground and the psus fan spins for aboit a second and then wont fire up any longer. has anyone got any tips or can i use something else to power up?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Sometimes orange is needed as well, but I thought a pc power supply was 100-250 volt, not 12v, you need 12v. You may also need the CAN Bus box connected if you have one.

BTW you dont have an "Xtrons" Xtrons are a seller only, to fins out what device you have look in settings/about device the letters after "MTCD" will tell you what device you ahve.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] audisean:
pc power supplies are used by quite a few people - if it's an old psu i'd check the 12 volt out isn't dropping (faulty psu) - i'm using an old 12 volt motorbike battery while i test mine (faulty android unit) but can't really comment till i get some life but it works on other units i have - afaik some units should work between 10 & 14 volts - 12 volt laptop power supplies etc may work but you should always check their voltage output (not always what it says....)

2): Stuck on Android Logo:

Software update.

A warning will come out to remind the used RAM before the apps take up all the RAM, as too much RAM occupied will cause the unit to stuck on Android Logo in cold

boot

3): Black screen for a few seconds in screen mirroring with Android smartphone

4): Screen mirroring disconnects with iPhone when playing Youtube videos

5): Black screen in Wifi connection

6): Update the built-in video player app

on post#6 you have a tool to extract specific files from update.img file you used to update your system

Use it to extract HCTBlueToothManager.apk from /system/priv-app/HCTBlueToothManager

then use the jadx-gui tool (requires java) to decompile the apk

and search for word "ODB" (include quotes) and you will find a line that contains:

look for the class and method that contains that part of code and enter it into the first field for Dasaita Xposed OBD settings

example: android.microntek.mtcser.a.d

look for the function name that contains that part of code

example: private boolean ed(String str) {

and enter it into the first field for Dasaita Xposed OBD settings

on the last field put the name of your OBD device (complete without any quote)

then save and reboot unit

Check that you have paired your device

Open Torque and go to settings...on OBD devices your device must be listed there, if so....you will get it worked

I have an XTrons (GS) HU and an Xtrons DAB+ USB dongle connected to a roof mounted Kinetic DRA6001 amplified antenna. Reception is just about the tolerable side of poor throughout the UK, but non-existent in most rural areas, and in a 3 week trip to France did not connect to stations once. Disappointing. What makes my DAB+ experience intolerable though is the full volume high-pitched chirp/shriek sounds that occur as the signal strength drops below 1 bar on the indicator. Anyone else had this problem? (I searched but found nothing) This problem does not occur on other DAB car radios I have used (all OEM), they just go silent immediately.
