My mistake, the thread is not for malaysk, but I thought it could be that, as I mentioned running malaysk on my problem.

There is dozens of firmwares related to different resellers in this thread, so it's difficult to know if new firmware is compatible with each device...

Looking forward to see if this new firmware is a fix for the problem :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
I think you missed everything at all....stock firmware is the same....perhaps specific manufacturer ask the developer a change in UI (LAUNCHER). But the px5 software developer is the same....

If hardware is not the same....differences in performance/bugs can be found between brands (like using different bt chip - configurable from factory settings)

I have the Xtrons model PB96MTVAPL http://xtrons.com/pb96mtvapl-9-hd-d...reo-custom-fit-for-volkswagen-seat-skoda.html

There's no button for switching apps quickly, meaning if I want to go from nav to Spotify, I have to press home, find spotify and click, that. I have to repeat this the next time I want to do it. Can I program that a long hold on home would show running apps
[MTCD Android Head Units General] joeherlev:
Yes,,.'

But is DAB much better than FM ?

Can DAB replace FM 100% so the Radio button opens DAB and not FM ?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
A complex issue this - when ti comes to sound quality DAB is not as good as FM.

In the UK we are still using DAB, we havent gone to DAB+ like the rest of Europe.

DAB uses the ancient and inefficient mp2 compression format and we try and squeeze as many stations as we can onto the network, meaning that sound quality is inferior to FM.

DAB+ uses mp4 and is much much better, but still not quite as good as FM, although many people wont notice it.

You can get ones that do AM/FM/DAB so you only have one antenna.

DAB/DAB+ does mean you get more stations, I didnt mention that earlier.

MX is the manufacturer version, this applies to all MTC unit, whether MTCB, MTCC or MTCD.

Its usually an abbreviated version of their name (eg KLD for Klyde, KGL for Kai Ge Le, HA for Hot Audio etc), some like MX, we dont actually know what its stands for, not that its really relevant.

Whilst Android software is interchangeable between all MTCD units of the same processor type (as long as you use the correct screen res), the MCU software is not, you can only use an MCU that matches your type . . .

. . . well that is the case for MTCB/C units and was also the case for MTCD units, until [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION] found that most MTCD MCUs are cross compatible, although I d read his Cross Compatible MCU thread before trying other MCUs.

For my Xtrons PB7646BAP I see: MTCD_GS_V2.43_1 (MCU version)

Model Number: A-Media Auto

Attached is what back of unit looks like.

So, who is the manufacturer?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Right, so you have a GS unit - GS is your manufacturer, the "PB7646BAP" is just a made up number by Xtrons for marketing reasons.

Unlike some manufacturers, we dont know what "GS" stands for, it used to be thought that GS was Hotaudio, but they are now known to be abbreviated to "HA".

Not knowing what GS stands for isnt that important as most of the internals are the same, the only differences could be minor things like radio tuner type or amp IC. The SoM (processor, RAM and ROM) are the same for ALL RK3368/PX5 manufacturers.

Hey all I have the Eonon GA7153A and I'm confused to which MCU is the proper one to flash. Sorry I'm new to the whole android head unit area
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Enjoy reading the threads and wiki. You'll find all you need has been answered.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Zephyrite_:
I have that's why I'm asking, I barely ever see the brand Eonon brought up especially with the new PX5 model and that's why I'm asking which MCU it requires, as I know Malaysk runs on it already
[MTCD Android Head Units General] makes2068@gmail.com:
You can flash every mcu you want.

Just to know that the settings must be done manually.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Zephyrite_:
So the Dasaita MCU will work just fine and won't stop any function? And what do you mean the settings need to be done manually? I appreciate this a lot! :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] makes2068@gmail.com:
No, only the factory settings like car-Boot-Logo, Canbus, Radio-Band, Key mapping...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] nadkp:
It is not totally correct, that you can use every mcu. There are some incompatibilities which result in display messages and which will always reset your factory settings after a hardreset. Have a look in this thread
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
There is no such thing as an Eonon unit, thats why you havent heard it discussed, if you were posting in the MTCB/C section I d take the same attitude as [MENTION=7683872]Zephyrite_[/MENTION] and direct you to the wiki/sticky thread, which are clearly marked as the first threads in the forum, but neither appear as the first posts in the MCTD forum for some reason, so I ll give you the benefit of the doubt and briefly explain : Eonon, Erisin, Pumpkin, Dasaita, Xtrons Ice Box Auto, Roximo etc, etc are simply sellers, they make no units themselves, there are abotu 15 manufacturers making these units and the design and software is virtually identical to the extent where Android ROMs are interchangeable on device whit the same SoM.

to find out what unit you have go to settings/about device, the letters after "MTCD" will tell you what unit you have.

There is no such thing as a Dasaita MCU, you will probably have an HA MCU

[MENTION=617784]nadkp[/MENTION] is right, you cant just flash any MCU, [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION] has found that actually most - BUT NOT ALL - MCUs are cross compatible and [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION]'s thread needs to be FULLY read before trying it out.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Have you seen proof ? Almost all Chinese retailers say they are manufacturers, I m not convinced Dasaita is anything other than a seller from reading Hotaudio's posts.

Whatever, there are no "Dasaita" MCUs, the MCU will be "HA", saying "Dasaita MCU" wont mean anything to anyone because "Dasaita" wont appear on the screen after "MTCD", the letters "HA" will instead, so unless and until the letters are changed to "DSA" or whatever combination of letters they choose, to avoid confusion (theres enough of that already!!) best we call them as they are written on the head unit, ie "HA". :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
Don't make statement about things you just figure out....dasaita is manufacturer. I could see photos of the facility...and that's why dasaita releases roms continuously....they have direct communication with developer

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
I said I suspected that they were not a manufacturer, from what I had read, not that they definitely are not.

Again, I ask have you seen proof ? Nothing you have said is proof - most Chinese sellers have pictures of manufacturing facilities on their websites whether they are actual sellers or not, I could post pictures of a factory on my site, does that make me a manufacturer ? Just because someone posts lots of ROMs, again does not mean they are a manufacturer.

I could say to you "Don't make statement about things youve just been told be someone without proof".

In the past GS units were sold by Hot Audio, then we have actual Hot Audio MCUs, now someone is claiming that "Dasaita" is Hot Audio.

I suspect they are not a manufacturer, I may be wrong, feel free to prove me so. :)

Hi all,

I've just updated the MCU on my KGL head unit from version 2.47 to 2.54. The update went smoothly, BUT: after the update the HU button lights are blinking instead of a continuous light.

Does anybody have the same experience? Or does somebody have a fix?

For now I'd like to go back to MCU 2.47. Is it save to downgrade, or would it mess things up even more?

Thanks!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
I want not to enter into a discussion that don't take us to anywhere....

I DO know that dasaita is manufacturer

Hotaudio started the business as a distributor....but finally started his own company....

Not too big facility....but they are growing...and they are introducing new products into market...I know some future movements of Dasaita in terms of new headunits they are developing....(which I won't tell you due to obvious reasons of respect and confidentiality)

I contacted him when I bought my first HotAudio unit...and I only know that he is a hard worker that want his company to grow.

I know that The quality and the client satisfaction is specially important to him

hey guys i just bought a volsmart fire006 px5 unit but i noticed when i wake up in the morning the headunit still fast boots as if it were on all night. i wired the 12v to 12v from car and ignition to ignition. it turns on and off with key but it just never goes into deep sleep mode, not sure why this is happening also there is no settings for sleep mode in the settings. please help anyone thanks.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
The original design intention is that....not need to cold boot as deep sleep consumps just a few mA.

From lasts firmware/Mcu iterations, few manufacturers implemented the selection of deep sleep only or additionally select at which time the complete shut off is performed

Not all manufacturers implemented (HA did it from mcu version 2.52)

Volsmart is just a brand (or rebrand/reseller). You need the three letters of MCU type [MTCD_XXX] for later identification of your unit...

Check your mcu version...and ask your seller if there is any update.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] volsmart006:
thank you so much for your quick response, okay I might be confused as to what deep sleep means, i thought it is supposed to go into a stand by mode for a few hours then shut down completely to preserve battery?

also i looked up my mcu it is MTCD_KGL_V2.36_2

would i be able to update my firmware with one compatible with this MTD unit and get those settings? (malaysk?)

sorry for the noob questions

You can safely put it on your dash and figure out later if upgrading your KGL mcu firmware to HA one solves the issue (you always can revert it to the original state)

Having had to deal with china for the last 17 years here is how businesses work there. Anyone who you have that is good will quit and make their own company while stealing your employees as every factory treats their employees fairly badly and there is no protection in a non compete at all and no one would listen to it anyways. So they constantly are stealing from each other. It is just the way it is, and probably will always be. It is not surprising at all re-sellers steal factory workers to make their own product. Nor is it surprising they all use the same hardware with wires soldered in the same place so mcu are inter-mixable. There is a set number of people making things like this that all the factories fight over who can treat them worse.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SomebodySysop:
I read somewhere that these units cost about $40 to assemble. I am just assuming that most of these units are sold in the US and Europe. And, if that's true, why do you think some small US manufacturer (working out of his garage, if need be) hasn't started competing in this area (px5 head units)?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
Because it will cost 1000 if have to pay us salaries and so on..

Enviado desde mi D6603 mediante Tapatalk
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Probably because the US manufacturer can't pay his workers an equivalent minimum wage of US $2.90 (according to internet stats) or likely less. I would think its patently obvious why US (and largely the world) off-shore manufacturing to china.

China's open market economy blend with communist state control(more like dictatorship) isnt exactly a level playing field for the world economy is it?!

Unless your post was made in sarcasm? :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] SomebodySysop:
Maybe just wishful thinking. Unless they are making these things from scratch in China, I still don't see why some enterprising Americans, South Americans, Canadians or Europeans couldn't turn $30 in parts into an economically viable and profitable product. If I were a young entrepreneur, the mere fact that everyone thinks it can't be done would be enough to give it a try.

If not, what about an American distributor? You don't think someone who could purchase these units in bulk then sell and support them here wouldn't be able to turn a profit? I mean, iPhones and iPads and S8's manufactured in China but still making Apple and Samsung money.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Probably because they are buggy, problematic, thus difficult to support. Brand reputation would plummet and any margin likely be swallowed by support.

In short - the old adage 'you get what you pay for.'

DAB - searching for APP

Hi I have a KLYDE PX 5 MTCD for a Mazda 6. I have updated the MCU and the software and all is working well. I have recently purchased a DAB Box and window aerial, I think it is a KLD 1704 made by Shinwa (Non USB). I'm looking for a DAB app that will work with it. I have looked everywhere but cannot get one to work. Some of the apps are for USB DAB or previous versions of Android. The supplier says there should be an up in the OEM part of the folder. But there isn't in the updated version of the KLD software. Any help would be much appreciated. Should anyone have this unit and like any answers for anything else, I will try to help. It came without any instructions, so has been a learning curve. I also have a constant low background engine / alternator noise. This seems a common problem. I was going to fit a noise suppressor. Anyone else have this problem / successful outcome. Thanks again.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Youve already entered into a discussion !

I said that I dont want to fall out and that I "think" they may not be a manufacturer, not that they definitely are not.

What you say convinces me a little more that they may be, (although the picture less so, because a lot of the sellers get the manufacturers to stick their name on the units they order).

It also ties in quite well with the fact that we know Hotaudio used to sell GS units. But on the other hand distribution and manufacturing are entirely different things and require totally different skills and in the case of manufacturing electronics, a lot more money. I am slightly more convinced than I was before, but not 100%.

Working out who makes and who sells is notoriously difficult with Chinese companies, hence my scepticism.

But as I said I do not want to fall out about it :)
