Hello [MENTION=7846972]Madyen[/MENTION],

I wrote a negative feedback here on XDA about Ownice C500 claiming the total incompetence and modified Android system against Google rules and old concept of head unit for example rear cam on only after complete boot. Most of these producers don't know anything and propose anywhere a return of unit for failure where the hardware isn't the issue but the software is, only the software. Some apks are running with no reason in 777 permission right....not in 644, they sell system (firmware) in which memory cannot be read, moved and so on.

Mainly the sell 64bit architecture but some apks run in 32 bit mode thus they still install old apks . Mainly they don't know that DAB+ is standard in some Nordic countries in Europe since 3 months and therefore you need running apk not unstable, mainly they don't know that RDS in Europe doesn't mean to have station name in display. In Europe RDS system transmits wheather forecast, general road warnings, warning bullettin other than song's name or artist's name.

Mainly they don't solder on mainboard the diversity antenna (wifi) about a SMA pigtail that costs $ 0,05 in quantity.

Mainly they use all same hardwares (see Dab stick) or TPMS changing only the plug but wires are even those for USB port (green, white, red and black).

Now Xtrons it is for me a bit better but on OctaCore you understand immediately that it is only a style "cover" thus apks are the same with little modifications (if present).

The great luck for these Chineses is that Android Car hasn't all set of Google Play apks yet. Some developers need to deploy them for Android Car.

When you will find native running apk such as Torque, DashCommand, TPM, DAB on head unit as Pioneer, Alpine, Toshiba and so on , none will spend anymore $330 for these HUs.

I wait for Android car development as these head units don't represent the value for which you buy.

Mainly the worth does not exceed $50.00, with poor assistance level and higher level incompetence.

Remedy is "try".

Could anyone take this guy's opinion seriously? I think the truth is just in the middle of both versions.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] trap63:
because you need to try on road and 99% then you discover after 2 weeks that your Wi-Fi signal is good only at 10 foots by your head unit, discover that it never shut down, discover many other things. you discover that you need to install any time new firmware as something goes wrong.

When you claim assistance they are discussing with you with incompetence. They use to tell to return unit back for all issue. No convenience if you are in Minnesota or France. They know, this is their way to manage customers.

Simply they are shi tty
[MTCD Android Head Units General] corpcd:
But I think this is something all people that buy from chinese manufacturers are aware of, or at least, they should. Isn´t it?

In this context, Xtrons is as the rest of chinese dealers, no more, no less.

We should all be aware of what we are doing when buying devices in the chinese market and what to expect from them.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] trap63:
Yeah, it's true matter.

Readme:

I bought and sold during last 4 years:

- HU-21 Android Jelly Bean (I mean the best cost/use ratio, some BT dongle)

- RoadNav S160 Android 4.1

- Xtrons Lollipop Toyota Wide (200x100) full touch flat

- Ownice C500 (the worst unit all over the planet for audio and crazy features)

now Octa Core Xtrons Toyota Wide (200x100) full touch flat;

I believe to compensate costs with buy/sale but a good 3/400$ has been lost. I don't include time waste as value, I mean lost time.

If I should have bought a Pioneer (that now is Android Car or Car Play) i.g. AVIC-F88DAB ($ 850.00) maybe I'll be able to save time and money without search a decent unit. High fidelity sound and so on.

Next buy nevermore a China Android HU, hoping that "Android Car" will extend to some apks now on GooglePlay.

GAME OVER.

The only real advantage is that in Italy no thieft is done for these units, you can leave the car open.

Can anyone confirm if these units work with the logitech c920 USB webcam? I was hoping to use it as a dashcam when my xtrons PX5 unit comes in.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Westindieman:
Thanks corpcd. I have been told which harness adapter to by to avoid all that.

Can anyone tell me please which cable connects to the patch lead for the steering wheel controls? The Xtrons support page says:-

******************************************

- Connect the + and - Key wires on the supplied SWC cable (all vehicles are different some have only 1 live others have 2)

If your vehicle has digital steering controls you will require an ISO harness with steering interface and patch lead. We recommend using connects2 adapters with CTCHINAHULEAD the patch lead should then be connected as above.

***************************************************

Which is the SWC cable?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
Is there any way the Radio (FM) app can be updated to support the media keys that Android has? Many apps have notifications that you can click to change tracks etc. Would be great to have that in the FM app. Is the source available, or can I reverse engineer the APK if someone has that?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Capryca:
Hello everyone,

I'm long time reader of this forum but never posted so far! I've got a PX5 MTCD(KGL) unit (acquired from Aliexpress, probably Erisin one) and I've got a problem that I don't manage to solve. I've read a lot of posts on this forum, but didn't found a solution. My unit is designed for VW cars, and has red backlit on its buttons.

The brightness of the backlit was initially normal, but since yesterday, it is extremly low. I can only see it in the dark. I've attempted to tweek parameters in "Factory settings", but no joy. I've checked the wires, no joy either. I'm wondering is there a kind of key combinaison to set the brightness of the leds behind the keys that I would have accidentally done.

Any help would be greatlly appreciated.

Hi Aarick,

I am afraid you have to update this description. I agree with your approach: kingoroot + superuser is not safe, since it opens the gate to every app to the system root. Therefore I tried to follow your process. The rooting itself worked for the first attempt, but "Superuser" app does not appear in the list of installed apps. Despite of that, SuperSU tells me that SU Binary is already occupied. When I uninstall kingoroot, the root access remains, and superSU still tells the same: SU Binary occupied. I have the feeling that kingoroot issued a new version of their app, and they do not let the backdoor open to us anymore.

Other option: do you still have the apk that you used? You could upload it to your post #3

I found an alternative launcher for those who want to maintain the original aesthetic type GS but with so many customizations, including the editing of the icons. Ok Google is kept quietly on-screen even offline. She also has the application menu. Tell me if you like, I'll keep it for sure.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
I've fixed a part of my struggle with this HU. Installed Google Play Music. This app actually supports the media keys, and has a notification widget. So super simple to change tracks while driving.

The FM radio app however doesn't support any of this. I can now switch songs easily with Play Music with Xposed Edge by having a touch edge on the left and right. Work pretty good! But like I said, the radio app doesn't wanna listen to this! How can it work with the SWC?? How is that different? What kind of command or intent is sent?

Does the DAB app support this?

Is the Radio app source available for me to add media controls?

Also, does anyone know a good media player? Google Play Music is OK, but I only want it to play songs from my USB, but it finds everything on my HU. Including stupid ringtones from Sygic. Does anyone know if Here Maps supports non-TTS voice? The sound isn't muted while TTS is going on for example.

Thx...Is Work...I using MCU 2.47; Firmware 2017-03-28.

i have doubt to config a led panel...when i buy, in the dark led panel is On, and turning the screen too.

but in my config is On all the time...what config i use to continue in the same mode when i buy?

Settings>Factory Setting (pass 126)> others > Led Panel, What i select?

Other Doubt, Is there any method of enabling the System UI Tuner?

I do not know why, but my central is showing no sim card icon, how do I remove this from the bar?

The icon for Brightness when i buy is only 1 click to displayoff, and now is 1 click for control bright, How to get back to the original?

EDIT: Ok, I Fix . all the problems...

in the led panel configs i select "Power", in "Headlamp" config uses lights of the car, in Power Always ON. better.

I rooted using Kingroot, the method is work for me, not 100%, because is "SU Binary Occupied", but, compatible with Xposed, Titanium Backup,BuildProp, Disable Services...

Im Xposed i found the module to hide no sim icon, finally....

thx for att...

I use Folder player to play from my USB. Also very convenient since it doesn't rely on tags as much. It's a simple no frills player but does the job. Also remembers where it stopped after having been shut down.

Am I the only one with Bluetooth connection problems with my phone?

The car radio (Erisin ES6046B) works fine, but I can not use my iPhone 7 because the Bluetooth works only a day or two, then the car is refusing to connect to the phone. If I try to connect manually from the settings of the iPhone, I get an error message.

I have to press the button "RST" (Reset) of the car radio every time for my iPhone to connect. After that, my phone connects immediately, but it will only work for a day or two !!

My unit just received the clearance on the customs, hope to have it today. The sad part is that my China seller is not taking my request seriously.

I asked him for dmcu.img and dupdate.img for the unit and he sent me a file KLD12_rk3188_5.1_o_h(20161012).rar so I guess I won't receive the good ones from him.

Hi all. I have a wifi problem that may be different to the ones discussed before. When my car is parked in front of the house (max 8 or 10 metres) wifi is fine. I have good speeds and can download apps from the app store.

When driving I want to tether from my phone. Setting up the hot spot is no problem. Wifi at the unit seems ok (full reception in the statusbar) though the internetspeed on the unit is very low! Speed test can't even measure it. And Google maps needs ages to Integrate the traffic.

When I test the hot spot with different devices, there is no problem. Hot spot seems fine...

Anyone any ideas?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
It seems interference with Bluetooth due to specific tethering channel from your phone.

Can you try to deactivate bluetooth if the low speeds persists?

If you could change the channel for tethering on the phone....

I think I've got the radio APK. But when I install it on my phone it's just blank (I do see the background). I assume because it only works on the HU? In that case I can go ahead and mess around a little. Gonna be a ***** to debug with my car 100m from my home... :D

Wrong password

I have a Erisin 5015 (MCU: MTCD_LM_V2.44_1) with Malaysk v.2 where the password to the factory settings is not 126 but instead 3368. The popup where I have to type the password actually says 126, but it does not work. Only 3368 works. How can this be? I have not heard about other MTCD without 126 password.

I will try that, hopefully tomorrow. Thanks.

If this is cause of the interference, will it help to do the solder-fix as some have done on this forum?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
The solder fix was related to units that they had horrible wifi reception (even close to router/phone)

In your case you have normal reception with your home wifi even not too close from it so you antenna works as expected....

Uhm maybe to see if it works and looks like on my HU so I can use my phone to quickly test? Was just a bit of hope obviously.

Who made the Radio app btw? I managed to get the source, but I think it's obfuscated. It's in all unreadable functions and classnames. Would be great to improve the app from the source. The app can be so much better!

Found some interesting things. I believe there are a few intents that can be sent which the app can receive:

localIntentFilter.addAction("hct.radio.band.prev");

localIntentFilter.addAction("hct.radio.band.next");

localIntentFilter.addAction("hct.radio.channel.next");

localIntentFilter.addAction("hct.radio.channel.prev");

localIntentFilter.addAction("hct.radio.channel.one");

localIntentFilter.addAction("hct.radio.channel.two");

localIntentFilter.addAction("hct.radio.channel.three");
