I went to a few and they pointed me back to the patch leads I found. I'll just buy the patch lead that's supposed to fit the BT50 from Aeropro but it's really hard to tell what is supposed to go where since the PX5 has one input that most vendors call "Power input" however I think thats an ISO plug.

http://www.brandbeast.com.au/mazda-bt-50-2012-on-steering-wheel-control-harness

This unit has a wiring diagram that's useful but the adapters way different to my BT50

I'm curious though did you adaptor for the CX5 look anything like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mazda-CA...-RC-Interface-for-Radio-Upgrade-/322162322386

Do all Mazda Can Bus cables look like mine?

Hi, I am the "other guy", I purchased a Dasaita PX5 7" Universal 2DIN ($240 + Shipping) and asked Dasaita to include the CANBUS Decoder and Harness for Mazda CX5 (Additional $30).

http://www.hot-audio.com/product/Da...o_Audio_Head_unit_Support_DAB_DVR_OBD-86.html

I installed it without issue, and the CANBUS decoder is performing well: Proximity Sensors (Front only) appear in display, Open Door appears in display, SWC works perfectly, there is a new menu for configuration for car headlights, locks, wipers etc, backup camera works.

I have an external Kenwood amplifier XR400-4 connected to the headunit preamp outputs (200mV output level), no issue.

Regarding your question about the CANBUS adaptor decoder, the expensive PAC-RP4-MZ11 is only valid for SWC and some other wires like REVERSE, PARKING BRAKE, etc, but it plugs to the headunit REMOTE input (available in brand headunits like Pioneer), but does not include an Android APP for the rest of the functions (Proximity sensors, open doors, configuration, etc). Compared to the Dasaita (or other CANBUS decoders), this PAC-RP4-MZ11 is extremely expensive and with reduced set of functionality

I am attaching a snapsot of the $30 CANBUS Decoder.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Ritzo90:
Awesome thanks for the advise I might bite the bullet and ask for the same. Does the adaptor from by Mazda (https://goo.gl/photos/soJ4uuGmSFTjQRq9A and https://goo.gl/photos/rxkrdg5ZfaAHQMzv7) look like your's?

I cam across Xtron firmware release notes in the forum for updates that included BT50 Can Bus support/enhancements so that was good to see, but as you mentioned I might need that adaptor in your post. I'll get your adaptor as well if it looks like it might fit my connection.

Only with the visualizer enabled. I haven't really played around enough yet to find it somewhere else though. Seems like the device is just too slow to play the audio and show it? Like it's some kind of lag.

Haven't tried this yet, but I wanted to run spotify, so I hope it's still okay. :(

I hope that's not the solution! I recently already got a new antenna!

Does it help to upgrade firmware? I'll check my version when I get home tonight from work. No idea if it's a recent version actually. WiFi is very poor indeed. Changing the antenna is the easiest thing to try, right?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Mattsch:
Firmware did not make a change, the only thing that worked was a new aerial, this one is half the lenght og the old one , 23 cm, but it Works perfect

Hello

This is exactly the product I have been looking for a long time with the definition in 1024x600, I found only in 800x480

Obviously with an MCU MTCD_KGL_V2.xxxx it is an ERISIN manufacture, brand of very good quality.

On the other hand I did not find the information, in the equalizer there is a gain adjustment for a SUB?

Thank you for your answers
[MTCD Android Head Units General] etulio:
The CANBUS Adapter in my post is intended to be used with a MTCD Headunit, but every headunit manufacturer requires a different wiring of the 20 pin black connector that plugs in the headunit. Joying and Hot-Audio have different pin assignment in the black connector, and probably the rest odf the manufacturers will be also different. So when you purchase the CANBUS module it should be intended to match your headunit.

Also, to get the full potential of the CANBUS adapter (interfacing with VEHICLE APP), the headunit black connector should have inputs for CAN+ and CAN- lines. Some headunit do not have this, and then the CANBUS module can only be used for SWC and REVERSE, BRAKE... lines.

The pictures you provide does not match the module I got.

I am so pissed off...my no-hard-buttons unit that gave me a pain in the ass the other time and the only way to get into recovery was the keyboard method, decided that wanted to restart with no reason...

So it made a restart and again stuck in the same cycle...anyway i used the keyboard again to wipe cache but now the cycle keeps going on...

I am so fed up with that...

Prob is that i allready closed the cased in ebay with the seller, after i managed to make it work with the keyboard method but now...again the same and the wipe cache doesn't seem to work at all

Should i update in KSP 2.48d? I am in 2.44 now.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Dr. Omar:
I am having a REALLY hard time with the Bluetooth on an MTCD_MX with the latest firmware (02-05) and the latest MX MCU (2.48).

What are the problems? Difficulty connecting, extreme difficulty pairing and also difficulty searching.

I'm only able to do one of these tasks after 10 minutes of persistence and insistence, eventually.

Any previous fixes I missed or bright suggestions, please?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
Fixed my FM reception. Had a cable wrong. :angel: Not sure if it's as good as my Pioneer AVIC, but seems OK for now. Same for the sound quality in general. But have to do some EQ changes. Are there some good settings to start with?

Interestingly, the MCU version is "MTCD_GS_V2.43_1" from Mar 31 2017. So it seems like this "Mekede" HU has the Xtrons firmware? (that's what GS is right?)

Does anyone have a source for the latest Sygic maps and app? I had a good one for my AVIC where I could just update the maps separately.

Which DAB receiver do you guys advice?

edit: Can I use this download from the first link?

When I update the firmware, do I lose everything, or will my settings etc stay?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] droc.noles:
Yep, should have tempered expectations. Still stuttering across the board.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
Have you tried disabling Wi-Fi, dab, etc, to see if they are to blame..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] droc.noles:
I've tried every combination that I can think of to eradicate this issue. Paring down to no wifi, no Bluetooth and only the music app open still yields some form of stuttering, just not as often.

The only perfect playback I've encountered was documented a couple of days ago with Poweramp, but even that app started back into stuttering the next day.

I just don't understand why the radio is immune, while virtually every other Android playback method is plagued with this issue. I'm sure it boils down to direct interaction with MCU.

Issues with latest GS update & MCU

Hello everybody,

has anybody else experienced some issues with the GS update provided in this thread?

I tried various USB sticks and always get the error, that the file is not valid.

What am I doing wrong?

I am on GS_v2.43 at the moment and as my unit does not have a sd card slot, I can (as far as I know) only update via USB.

Thanks!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] semaj4712:
Two quick questions, first one is how are you guys connecting your usb 3g dongles? I plug mine in but it doesnt connect and theres nowhere to put in the apn settings

Second question is, why is the time so far off, if I set time via GPS its off by 9 hours, and if I manually change it manually it doesnt change the time for google apps, google maps is trying to tell me stores are closed when they really are not.

Any help is appreciated
[MTCD Android Head Units General] leonkernan:
No idea on your first Q, but for the second, check the time zone set in the settings.

You might also need to turn off the auto timezone setting and set it manually.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] semaj4712:
Did that, didnt fix anything, tried to update to the malaysk custom rom and it confirmed my suspicions, the gps thinks i am in china. But weird because google maps and here maps both know where i am accurately. Would be super helpful if somebody could steer me in the right direction.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Dec64:
Does anyone else have an issue with the GPS sometimes not locking in for 5-10mins? Seems after a restart I come back to the car within an hour or so and it takes a while for it to find gps satellites.

I'm also having issues with notifications being read out. Tom Tom speed cameras app never sounds the alert for speed cameras, and waze only on a rare occasion will vocalise warnings.

Unfortunately no solution for me ...

The seller told me that leds lighting can damage the display and for this reason it has been disabled this function (i think little)

How, where do you find a beefier antenna to screw in?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gsrcrxsi:
It doesn't screw in. You have to solder it to the board. And you can see that you already have another hole available. I just bought the antenna lead and antennas from Amazon.

Did this increase the range of your wifi? Can you pull up at a wifi hotspot (starbucks etc) and get reception? I don't want my phone to be the only way to get wifi. It would be nice to pull up at home and be able to connect to wifi there for updates, maps, email etc.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kulanz:
Does anyone got USB Audio card to work with this theese units? When i plug my in the internal audio gets quiet but no audio comes out from the external usb audio card.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gsrcrxsi:
I can connect to my home wifi from 1 floor down and about 100ft away and through the house. So I'd say it helped the range a bit. If I pulled up to Starbucks and parked right in front of the building I don't see why I couldn't connect.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kovlaszlo:
Hi Semaj4712,

Leonkernan is right, I had the same problem. Turn off the automatic update of time and time zone. If I am not mistaken, there was as well a third auomatic time update option as well. Turn them off all.

Regarding 3G stick: I am using an original Huawei E3131. Important: PX5 menu has no options to set up the stick, you have to make the settings with your PC. But! With the PX5 firmware dated March, after some days the 3G connection was just not established any more. After a factory reset of the HU it worked again for some days. I am using now the lates factory ROM (6th May). After one and a half weeks my 3G stick still works.

Note: the Chinese manufacturers recommend us to use WiFi sticks. These use the USB to get the power, and they also use it as trigger, to know when they have to turn on
[MTCD Android Head Units General] semaj4712:
I turned everything off, and the unit for all intensive purposes thinks the time is correct. Except for google, maybe there is a setting I am missing. But google maps switches to night mode in the middle of the day, and thinks stores are closed when they are not.

When you say you have to make the settings with your PC what do you mean? This is very exciting as maybe it will work after all, but I need more information as to what you mean. When I currently plug it into the unit it asks what to program I want to use to open it. And when I plug into the computer it just wants to install drivers. Is there a way for it to save the apn settings to itself?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kovlaszlo:
Breaking news!

I am surprised, I thought every app is killed, which is not included in the whitelist, but it seems that I found an app which is not killed by factory ROM when ACC is off! It is an automation app like Trigger, Tasker, Macrodroid, etc. I am using it for 4 days, and after every bootup in the recent days it was still there. As such an app, it gives a lot of new opportunities, even without rooting, Xposed, and custom ROM!!!

There exists a 10 days trial here:

LINK

Otherwise it is a paid app in playstore.

As an automation app it is a nice, even compared to the competitors. Plenty of selectable triggers, actions, and very good tutorials on their site.

---------- Post added at 22:24 ---------- Previous post was at 22:19 ----------

To the first issue: maybe, what solved my problem is the firmware update. But I think, if you fix the timezone, the time, and turn autoatic update off, the time you set should remain.

Rgarding the stick: plug it to your PC, set the APN, and it should work with your HU. In case your HU offers you options, I have no idea how to proceed. Huawei E3131 works without any "questions" (so far, since the last ROM was flashed)

According to this article, http://lifehacker.com/how-to-create-custom-voice-commands-with-tasker-and-aut-1282209195, it is theoretically possible to use OK Google with stock bt dialer by utilizing tasker and autovoice, but you need to know a little something about "intents".

The only way of using Google now voice commands for dialing is by a modified tablet talk apk. You buy the app...get the apk from your device...modify the Androidmanifeat.xml to add call intent and voilà...I used it on my previous Intel sofia MTCD unit. As soon as I get home from holidays I will do it again with the px5.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] kallidean:
That is an interesting approach. Once you get it working on the px5, Could you please throw together a step-by-step on how you did this?

Does anyone know if there's an app or config that can route the voice commands picked up by the px5 microphone directly to the paired bluetooth phone? If I can talk directly to my phone through the head unit, it may be a good interim solution.

Thanks.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] semaj4712:
Maybe it could work with tasker, I have seen people do voice commands with tasker to trigger intents or actions. Might be worth looking into.

On this issue, the f1x developer has created a number of tools to handle many aspects of the MTCD head unit including MtcDialer, which is used to direct voice calls to the bluetooth stock dialer.

Look at the topic: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...ease-mtcdtools-control-music-players-t3436789

He has developed these tools for PX3 and is collecting funds to purchase a new PX5 card to continue developing on our head units.

Please donate only $ 5 each one to let this great developer create these tools for PX5 too !!!

For Infos

Hello

For the installation of the dongle 3GDONG008, there is a video here http://xtrons.co.uk/community/index.../how-to-use-3gdong008-on-xtrons-android-unit/

Look at the video, it's a lie, it does not work. In the video the web page that is shown is already loaded in the explorer for demonstration.

It is not by scrolling on the screen that this proves that the connection is active.

XTRONS is not honest with its customers, it's the worst scam I've seen as a salesperson.

It would be more credible if it carried out on the video a real test of debit with a tool of the Play Store and would be more credible with the customers.

For information to customers who have already bought an XTRONS product, there is a firmware confid between Bluetooth and Wifi, the wifi stops working as soon as the bluetooth is active.

On their forums http://forum.xtrons.co.uk/default.asp there are dozens of cases of users who have the problem and they are scammed with erroneous answers from Sophia who really has no tecnhnic knowledge And better to change trades.

On this XDA forum, only one person has found a solution which consists in replacing the internal wifi antenna (only one 31mm wire end welded on the motherboard which proves incompetence in terms of communication on 2.4 frequencies which in one The metal post is totally inactive "cage faraday" and thus captures the bluetooth signal) this person has to replace this internal antenna by a second external antenna with a gain of 2dbi and thus to counter the pollution affected by the bluetooth waves.

This problem is general on all PX5 cards that I have encountered regardless of the brand.

XTRONS, JOYING or others uses the same PX5 card and are in no way manufacturer, but only seller and therefore do not have competence on the PX5.

Sorry for writing I use Google translation.

Does anyone have a trick to get the FM playing when you start the device? When I turn on FM and go to another screen and restart, there is no FM. There only is FM when I restart it on the FM app screen.

Is there also a trick to get the top bar (with the home icon) always in screen when using Sygic for example? Does anyone have a source for the latest map updates maybe?

Also, does anyone have a link for two good antenna's to replace for WiFi?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ziggimon:
I can't comment on the 3G dongle as I opted for a Wingle to use instead. But I will say I agree with your experience over on the xtrons forum. I initially had a post addressing some of the issues including the BT echo'ing and since they have set their forum to require moderator approval before posts are visible all my follow up posts on getting updates or feedback on the BT echo'ing have been unanswered for over a month running. I will say that the Malaysk ROM has been a life saver on my Xtrons TB706APL unit. The only thing I'm having issues with at the moment is the BT calling. That said I did mount a different WIFI antenna and also moved it away from the stereo, placing it next to my wingle, which for now has given me just stellar wifi connectivity, though I am considering soldering in new wires for the wifi to make reception better in total. Will be one of those when time permits projects, as things are working ok right now. Also I'm mostly wondering if others that have Xtrons units have had the same experience over on the other forum. XDA has been great and lots of tips and tricks land over here, so for now I'm leaning on those to make thing work on my unit.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gsrcrxsi:
It's ok about using Google Translate. I understand you well.

I believe the internet is working in that video, but the way in which the the 3G dongle works, is not what i expected. I thought that it would send the internet connection via the USB cable into the unit, but it is only using USB for power, and sending internet via a Wifi connection generated in the dongle.

Truly it appears that wifi is the only way to get internet into any of these units and that the proper network connections are not available to the BT or USB interfaces.

But i have solved my issue with BT and Wifi interference by soldering in a new antenna. you can see that here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72477644&postcount=1000

Réponse

Good evening

Thank you for your answer.

I do like you, when I need nothing, I go to the Xtrons forum, as I am sure never to have an answer, I am not disappointed ah !! ah !!

Otherwise I regularly consult the forum XDA where people are competent and bring solutions or at least an early solution.

I have not yet tested the Malaysk PX5 rom (I'm on holiday for 1 month), which has to solve a lot of problems.

In comparison to your BT call problem, I do not teach you anything if I tell you that you should not use an external microphone, and in the "System" menu in the "Sounds" tab, never put more Of +12 for the heading "BT" otherwise the sound and bad and there is an echo in the correspondent.

It is a shame to have to do to incompetents Xtrons because the product is correct compared to other brands. I will also replace the internal wifi antenna and the external wifi antenna by 2 antennas of quality so that the wifi is not polluted by bluetooth.

Good night

If I could understand you well, you can use a dongle like a Wi-Fi antenna repeater.

If yes, and if you buy this one is the wifi signal getting stronger (much better) or remains the same .. very weak?

I was able to use the above to get ok google to launch the bt app. If we had at least the app's search intents, we could automate a good deal of the calling process.
