I have an issue, I have a PX5 from Witson seller (MX) when I trying to update it.

The issue is when I plug the SD card into the GPS slot the unit recognize the firmware update and it ask me if I want to run it, I selected wipe and touch yes, then the unit reboots but nothing happens, it stay in black screen and I need to remove the SD to reboot it again (pressing the power button for 5 seconds) then it says that it was an error and cannot be updated and if I want to try again. I tried with the dmcu.img and without it.

Any of you have an idea what is going on? I did an update a few months ago with no issues.

Thanks in advance!

I also have a KLD unit with 2.57 MCU. With stock ROM from seller, dated July 17. Actually runnig very stable.

What September ROM did you use? The generic one, here on the forum? Or an "official" KLD ROM?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dongali:
I used the Daisata/Hotaudio stock rom from September 1st 2017: https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/tj1vb7
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Mau2012sim:
Ok, thanks. Will the overall functionality stay the same as in KLD ROM?

I mean, same apps, same launcher, etc.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
If you don't wipe...you will keep your apps..but not the system apps (like launcher)

If you want your KLD launcher...extract it from your current Rom and install it after upgrading to HA Rom

I was thinking if there is a way to read an enhanced wifi dongle for my PX5 MX. My wifi is too weak I would like to increase reception. If I do not mistake our boards mount a Realtek chip and I thought I would disable the internal module and activate that from the USB dongle. I'm sure even using a USB stick with Realtek chips would not work because they want the right drivers. I'm not a developer and I do not know how to compile drivers in the kernel. Would any of you be able to do it? Can you add drivers to the right folder? It would be useful for those who, like me, have the weak Wifi.

That works for me on MX HEADUNIT

Hi all

Did anyone try to do the 7floor MTC sound mod to a PX5 Unit?.

I'm willing to change my PX3 for a PX5 unit but I would like to preserve the MTC sound mod, both are MTCD units.

Regards.

I am not getting audible notifications, for example from Skype or Mighty Text. It seems to only work for an app set as the navigation app. Does anyone have a workaround? Maybe mtcmanager.apk needs a mod.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SkyBeam2048:
Any hint where you got this from?

I got a KLD unit with MCU 2.41 and I am only able to find 2.44 update for this MCU.

OK. Scratch that.

Googled the net for this exact version and found it listed here (or direct OneDrive Link of member there sharing it here).

px3 to px5 update, wondering about mcu upgrade

Hi

i recently bought a 2007 Cayenne and it came with android 2 din radio unit

I believe it is this unit but without the original order info it is hard to tell but it look exactly like this unit

erisin-es4014c-7-android-51-car-dvd-gps-dab-for-porsche-cayenne

I noticed performance was not that great (google maps took about 10 mins to update location) and read the px3 and px5 upgrade thread and today I installed the px5 card and can notice the performance improvement.

All seems to work fine with the px5 card although when sound is muted you can hear a slight hum over the speakers, I did not notice this with the px3 card (but then again did not listen out for it so not sure if it was there originally or not).

I have not touched the MCU version (MCTD_KGL_V1.65.2) and was wondering whether I should upgrade and it that would at all help with the slight humming noise?

Thanks
[MTCD Android Head Units General] alda.cerny:
Do you hear a slight hum when is motor off or only when is motor on?

Hi

I have the following unit a Navall Eclipse from reseller Navall

The seller has not released an official update but do you think I would be ok to upgrade to the KGL MCU update 2.54 ?

Thanks

Karl
[MTCD Android Head Units General] cayenne2007:
you hear it when the motor is off, once you start the engine (or even put the heater on) you cannot hear it anymore (probably still there but just not noticeable due to fan and or engine noise)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] alda.cerny:
if it was heard only when the engine is on, it would help the signal interceptor like this https://www.ahifi.cz/sinus-live-ef-10.html but it is not unfortunately your problem :(
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
You have a KGL unit. Its always best to update the MCU, it probably wont help the hum, but its a good idea to update. I expect the hum is to do with ground loop and you need a ground loop isolator, this is a common cat hifi problem.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] cayenne2007:
found a couple of youtube examples and am glad to report the humming noise in my car is very faint compared to what I have heard on those clips, will try a ground loop isolator to see if that removes the issue, will also wait to see if my wife can hear it also as she uses the car most of the time

Hi

I run Meraki MDM on all my mobile devices and thought why not configure meraki MDM on my Head Unit

as it runs android 6.0 it needs to be encrypted and am wondering whether this would be a bad idea :D

If you look in the settings it has some standard google management features so I could not see why not, but then again I am not a car android specialist.

Has anyone attempted this before?

Cheers
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mensand:
Hi i've bought one like that. But now i don't know if i need to put this between the constant 12V or the ACC 12v on the head unit?

Or do i need 2 of them :confused:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] paniqueado:
To use the USB is the same process like with a SD card? An empty USB copy the 2 files (update.img and dmcu.img) then go to settings update?

Thanks in advance!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] alda.cerny:
it should be only ACC 12V
[MTCD Android Head Units General] samarskyrider:
Did anyone come across white noise problem on PX5 head unit? I've just received Erisin ES5015v and plugged into my VW Passat B7 with quadlock (previously, I was using Bosch RCD-510 stock unit). HU had quadlock at the back, so I plugged what came from the dash into the unit. Now I'm having white noise (or humming) when the unit is ON and nothing is playing. When I press mute, the noise is gone. It's kinda strange, because RCD-510 never had such problems. I haven't done anything with the wiring when installing HU into the car.

Thanks in advance!

Canbus setting

Hi! Anyone having success with a canbus setting on a Ford Mondeo Mk4? I have a 2009 model, the only setting I have got to work is the "no" option. The other Ford settings makes my swc not function...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ArtfulCodger:
Question for the few who have added active cooling to their HUs ie a fan. are you using 12v directly off the ACC line or 6 or 7 volts off a line within the unit somewhere. The fan I'm using won't start with anything much less than 6v so getting power from the USB doesn't work.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] jukimukikuki:
I have connected it to the amplifier/remote output of the HU, because in my car you can't use the ACC line for a power consuming device. I know that the currents for a fan are very low, but this way I am on the safe side.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Kaffeh:
Anyone figured out how to get the unit to power off completley yet? Or is deep sleep as good as it gets?

: rolleyes:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] echudoba:
It would help to have mcu info and rom info. With a stock rom and and a older mcu version, assuming mtcd - you may not have the 30 sec power off option. If you do select it and it will go from auto sleep (8.5ma) to off (2.5ma).
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Kaffeh:
Sorry, forgot to add that. Still new here.

Rooted and running malaysk v2

PX5

Before I rooted earlier today I took a photo and it says:

MCU Version

MTCD_GS v232_1
[MTCD Android Head Units General] echudoba:
If your extra setting does not have a shutoff delay you will need to upgrade your MCU to get it. Search for the latest GS mcu and instructions to upgrade. I would save your settings to a cfg file in factory settings before doing any upgrade. Save it to sd and gps card.

Just noticed that the KLD MCU v2.59 is available at https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/All dmcu for PX3, PX5, Intel Sofia3g/KLD

Didn't tried it yet ... will do later.

Later edit: [MENTION=7258305]pakoner[/MENTION] tried it and seems that it is a wrong version, 2.50 instead of 2.59

Hello

I Have Xtrons PB7639BAP with PXA5 Board i think... I run Malaysk PX5 Rom V5.

Is there a possibility to connect a front camera? In the front cam app I get no picture at the front, only behind. Rearview camera works perfectly.

The new Xtrons PB7639BA have a Front Cam entrance... and the same Board i think.

Sorry for my English.

I am having some issues with rooting my KGL head unit. I have downloaded kingo root apk directly to the device and have attempted to install the apk. The option to allow unknown sources to be installed is checked. The issue I am having is that I then get a message saying that the install is still blocked due to "contains code that attempts to bypass Android's security".

I have tried rebooting the device with the unknown sources checked\unchecked.

Install from internal memory and also attached SD cards.

Wifi enabled/disabled.

Downloading the apk to SD card via PC then transfer to head unit.

I am looking to get root access before I look at updating the MCU and also install the latest Malaysk ROM

Any thoughts on what is causing this as I have tried searching but am unable to find any other settings on the unit that would allow the installation to complete.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] BlueVan:
After updating my MTCD-GS to latest Android and MCU (dated 20170802; released a couple of weeks ago), the FM Radio app (version 2.4.0) has reverted to an older interface. The previous version had an orange on black scheme with useful circular frequency hop buttons. Unfortunately I did not take screen shots. Anyone else had this happen? Or know how to get the previous version back?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] theandywaite:
I have an Xtrons octo-core unit and it's great mostly.

Just having a couple of issues:

- Bluetooth A2DP is sometimes poor quality (like it's distorted)

- I bought the Xtrons 3g dongle (3gdong008) which works okay over WiFi but takes ages to boot. It also seems to be doing something over USB as it displays a "signal" icon in the top bar when plugged in, but the connection doesn't work unless it's over wifi.

Does anyone have any tips / advice?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Theyve obviously changed the radio app in the later ROM, to try and use the older one youd need to download your previous ROM, extract the radio apk from it and then replace the radio apk in the latest version with the older one (in system/priv-app, copy the current one first for back up).

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

Its not an "Xtrons" - Xtrons are just a seller, to see what unit it is go to settings/about device, the 2 or 3 letters after "MTCD" will tell you what unit you have.

Touch and hold the Navigation icon in apps.

Same here, i actually have here 2 China Head Units, an Erisin ES6041U this is for an Ford Tourneo Connect, model 2014 and an Xtrons TB706APL, witch will be for an Ford B-Max, model 2016.

For both Cars i have the connect2 Steering-Wheel and Can-Bus Box CTSFO008.2

But if i choose something different then "NO" in Can-Bus settings, then steering wheel controls are lost.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
If you use a can bus options and you are bypassing the swc from.the can bus (as you are using a connects2 box) you will be able to map your swc on the specific app (steering wheel learning app)

[MTCD Android Head Units General] rootsch:
Ok, so you mean i need to train the controls again in the Steering Wheel learning App? I tried some of the Ford models, witch are inside the Can-Bus settings. But i did not note anything on the Radio. No clima controls are shown, no open doors or anything else.

I need to update my firmware and I have a kgl device which they don't seem to do many updates for so I'm going to update to either the ha or gs firmware but I'm not sure yet as I like the launcher that comes with the kgl firmware.

Has anyone any preferences and also does anyone have a screenshot of the radio app on the updated gs firmware as I've read a few comments suggesting the new radio app on gs firmware is not very good?

Thanks
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
When you use the can bus....the steering wheel learning app does not capture any signal...as the swc controls are predefined by the can bus.

How did you connect the output for connect2 to the head unit simultaneously with the can bus?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
I take it both are universal models and not specific to each vehicle ? Otherwise the units would have come with CAN Bus decoders.

Only the CAN Bus decoder manufacturers listed in factory settings (Union, Raise etc) are properly supported, so you could get SWC working and basic features like ACC, handbrake etc but nothing else. And buying CAN Bus decoders form the manufacturers listed in factory settings will not guarantee HVAC/car settings/car warnings etc support - not all cars are supported for these features.

Is there any reason why you bought Connects2 and didnt buy CAN Bus decoders designed to work with these units ?

Erisin and Xtrons are sellers only, there are no "Erisin" or "Xtrons" units, to find out what units you have, go to settings/about device, the 2 or 3 letters after "MTCD" will tell you who makes your unit.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rootsch:
For the both Cars in our Family, the Ford B-Max and the Ford Tourneo Connect there are no specific Head Units available. So I only can use a universal Head Unit.

I bought the connect2 Box, because here I have the steering wheel controls and can-bus.

I have this Box here: CTSFO008.2

So why the Can-Bus information are not working? The Ford B-Max is based on platform Ford Fiesta and the Ford Tourneo Connect is based on platform Ford Focus/Ford C-Max
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
I think there are some available.

I m familiar with both vehicles, which generation of Tourneo is it ? The last version of the first generation used the same headunits as the focus and Mondeo. The B Max uses the same headunit as the Fiesta. I think the Tourneo uses the same headunit as the Focus.

Do you have electronic HVAC ?

The Connects2 wont work because its just designed to get very basic info from the CAN Bus network, like ACC, handbrake, reverse etc, it cant properly communicate with the car and intercept the same amount of CAN Bus signals that he CAN Bus decoders designed for use with these units can, plus it cant communicate all that info to the headunit either. The ones designed for these units are only about £25 GBP, if you can find a seller to sell them to you. Probably way cheaper than the coneects2 boxes.

The Ford Tourneo Connect is the 2nd Generation. Model 2014 with Ford SYNC Head Unit. See the attached Image, this Radio was inside my Ford.

[IMG="Ford Tourneo Connect"]http://www.autosmotor.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Ford-Tourneo-Connect-Innenraum.jpg[/IMG]

So as you can see, i have this upper small Display. Witch also remains after installing the Aftermarket Radio. So the state for door open is shown inside the display of dashboard. The clima control changes and also park distance control is shown in the display in center console. This is working fine with the connects2 Box - same as with orginal head unit.

But my perception was, that also inside the China Head Unit these informations where shown. It is actually not a big problem for me, i mean all informations are shown same as before, so nothing is lost. But when you say there are specific can-bus interfaces, then perhabs i want to try it. Do you have a link for those?

Back to Cars short:

The Ford Tourneo Connect is 2nd Generation and is same to the Ford Transit Connect. The car is based on the platform for the Ford Focus/C-Max. So the Head Unit for the Tourneo must be the same as for the Focus/C-Max, before the Facelift 2014.

This is Ford Focus from 2013 with Ford SYNC Head Unit:

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
These head units do support door open, climate control etc on the unit, but not all cars are supported, its a bit random, so Fords may or may not be, youd have to try to find out. But as its only the outside of the units that are different, if you got a compatible CAN Buse decoder your universal units would work the same as the custom fit ones.

Yes, the Tourneo is based on the Focus and uses the same steroe, and the B Max is Fiesta based and uses the same stereo as the Fiesta, there are versions of these head units available for both cars.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rootsch:
Ok, thanks for reply. Is there any shop who sells those decoders? Here in Germany there are a few, but they dont have such a Decoder for the Tourneo or the Focus.

My unit is made for Ford, and the canbus box that followed was said to be for my Mondeo. But the only thing that this does as I see, is the volume and skip buttons on the steering wheel and the reverse camera enabled without any extra wiring.

I think it's not a big issue, I just wondered if anyone had a experienced the canbus setting working on a similar car as me...

Hi i have a Ford Focus and my canbus with came with the unit also shows the doors, parking sensors front and back and park assist. So Can bus is working great.

What Focus do you have? Witch model year? Witch Head Unit? Can you post perhabs a photo of the Can-Bus Box? Is there perhabs any number on this box?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
It doesnt really matter what headunit he has - ALL MTCD head units will have the same functions on the same car whichever of the CAN Bus decoders are used - all of the software is done by the same company - MTC.

In factory settings you can list CAN Bus types by manufacturer, just look there. There is "Raise", "Union" and "Bagoo", there maybe more also, if you check you will see, I already told you this. Plus, its not hard to google it . . .

Cooling, antennas etc complete

So I mentioned earlier in this thread that I thought a heatsink and fan were sort of a necessity here in Australia due to extreme temps in summer.

I also put an extra wifi aerial on the unit and grew it to a 5db gain size...two antennas and proven better wifi reception tested with wifi analyser...

Blue heatsink on heatspreader anchored with thermal epoxy. Utilised gps antenna hole in backplane and moved gps to beside existing wifi antenna...should provide better spatial separation and wifi analyser shows 2 antennas are certainly better than one.

Found an 8v feed to run the 12v fan from and fan noise is negligible whilst 4wd diesel is running....:laugh:

Your front parking sensors also work when you approach an obstacle with 1st gear ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Whatever you do dont do what he did and stick it on - its madness, it could come off and damage the inside of your unit, plus if you need to remove it at all you wont be able to. Do what everyone else who has fitted a heat sink does and drill holes in it in the same position as the holes that attach the SoM to the board and those screws will also hold the heat sink on.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] jorjax:
I also have this Focus mk3 with parking sensor and the turn on when you place reverse or when you press the button under the clima control. You can activate the door opening in the factory settings. I guess it is on Focus (Raise) the setup.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
Nonsense. Thermal adhesive uses two components and will not come off. I've seen people destroy PCB's trying to get them off.

I agree that screwing it on is better if you want to take it off, but other then that it's great for this use.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
It may be unlikely that it will come off, but I wouldnt like to take the risk, but, saying its "nonsense" simply proves my other point ! - what if it needs to be removed for some reason ?

Sticking it on is a bodge, especially if there are 3 holes there already ! If the unit wasnt going to be mounted in a vehicle and the heat sink was stuck only to the processor and no other component, then maybe.

Well, its his unit so he can do what he likes, I m just suggesting other people use the holes, its quicker, easier and simpler anyway.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
My friend ,I asked a specific question. I just want to know if the front parking sensors work when you approach an obstacle with the first gear engaged and not the reverse. Thank you.
