Interesting re heat pipes, bendable ones at that and from an Aussie reseller lol. Anyway I have used Arctic silver epoxy and glued a couple of decent sized passive sinks on the heat spreader and then spent an hour or so drilling the top cover to take a fan, Was going to power via the 12v and 5v rails to get it spinning a bit slower ie 7v but now can't find the 5v Mic wire that was supposed to come with the unit. Either I've lost that connector bundle or maybe it didn't come with the HU. I have a USB labelled 3G WIFI and one labelled USB but the image on a certain resellers web page show 3 USB ports and bunch of other connectors.

Anyone else only get 2 x USB cables and seem to be missing some other connectors. Mind you they aren't critical to the running of the unit just really wanted not to have to try to find the internal 5v rail lol....:D
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ArtfulCodger:
Here is the reseller's picture...

The bits that appear to be missing for me are the third USB cable and items 23 to 28. The one I'm keen on is 27 the 5v MIC power cable....
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Do not glue metal heat sinks inside your unit !! They will come loose, short circuit things and kill it !! ALWAYS secure with screws !!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] BobbyZee1712:
Tried today without protector Film. Same thing, the pancel dont work on my Erisin 6405 Unit :(

Normally it should work right?! Maybe I just bought wrong pencil?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ArtfulCodger:
Sorry I don't agree, light alloy heatsinks with epoxy won't come loose EVER....trust me...

Wouldn't add a fan to the top of it though that would be asking for trouble.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Well if you stuck a fan yes it would also be asking for trouble, but no fool would consider sticking a fan instead of using proper screws to hold it down . . .would they ? :(

Its at your own risk, I wouldnt risk it and I dont recommend anyone else does, its madness vehicles move and there is always the possibility of it coming off, I WOULD NOT recommend anyone else sticking a heat sink in, use the screw holes provided.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ArtfulCodger:
No drama, I have certainly drilled lots of holes for a fan in the top of the case...and that will be securely attached with screws.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
A fan isnt necessary, unless there isnt room in the case because of a dvd mech. A good passive heatsink secured with thermal cement is all that is needed. Note that a fan will only cool to ambient temp.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ArtfulCodger:
Humour me...Australian conditions in summer necessitate some form of active cooling I reckon....I have heaps of fans may as well use one...lol.. [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] has a theory about thermal epoxy as well.

I dont think theres anything wrong with adding a fan, it cant do any harm

I just think its a bad idea not using screws.

I know I should not ask what is the best but could you please advice which manufacturer I should be looking for and which one I should avoid?

I'm looking for PX5 powered universal 2 DIN device with DVD. All the units I saw only had a 6.2" 800x480 display. Is there a unit with DVD and 1024x600 display resolution? Thank you.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] fma965:
unfortunately doesn't have a dvd but this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-HD-Doub...282729?hash=item361e75fc29:g:be0AAOSwOAZZiLwr
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Yes there are plenty if you look, but the smallest 1024x600 screen there is is 7", 6.2" is only 800x480.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] javlada:
I want the DVD. I will rather stay with 800x480 then not having it. I'm thinking about this one. I just don't like how Waze navigation looks on the 800x480 display.

It is shame that there were older models which were able to fit a 7" together with DVD in a universal 2DIN device. But it seems to me that no device wit PX5 chipset has such design. At least I didn't find it.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
There are many MTCD devices around with DVD and 7" or 8" 1024x600 screens. If you cant find any octacore with this combo you could always buy 2 - a 7" or 8" quadcore with DVD and an octacore (the cheapest you can find), swap the SoMs and then sell the one you dont want on ebay, as you wouldnt have used it you could sell it as "new".
[MTCD Android Head Units General] javlada:
There plenty of them but not in the universal (2DIN) size which I need. Some of the old ones have 7" displays but 800x480 resolution anyway. So it won't help me. It is not easy to fit 7" into this size. And manufacturers decided to either remove the DVD or stick with 6.2" 800x480 panels.

I just bought one 7" 1024x600 unit for my Opel Vectra. But I want another one for my second car which needs the universal 2DIN size.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
What car is it ?

Theres this one, think it might be MTCB/C though :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-Univers...601?hash=item3d45b85219:g:eek:-IAAOSwcXpZnTmD

All units have the connection inside for the DVD drive, you could always add it to one without by using a longer ribbon connector and placing the drive elsewhere in the car ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] javlada:
The car is a Jaguar X-Type. Using an external drive might be an option. But I have no idea where I would put it in the car.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mikstew:
Wow I am glad I found this thread.

Does anyone know why I can't install Android Auto on the PX5 unit I have? (It is made by Seicane) - see attached image. Google says that it isn't supported.

Also, has anyone had issues with the bluetooth calling app not synching contacts? Is there a trick to make it synch contacts?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Seicane are a seller, they dont make any units, to find out who makes your unit, go to settings/about device, the letters after "MTCD" will tell you who the manufacturer is.

Playstore wont let you install it, why dont you install it on another device, install the app Apkextractor, extract Android auto and then install it on your headunit and see if it runs ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Flockrock:
At the first BT-Connection you get asked to allow the device to use your contacs. But you can change that settings later on the phone in the bluetooth settings. Go to settings -> bluetooth -> there is a settingsicon beside your connected HU -> allow contacts

I can't install Android Auto on mine too. Is there a solution for this? I think it is because we don't have a SIM-Card.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Youve tried side loading ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mikstew:
Wow thank you both.

Update:

Contacts sync - fixed.

Android Auto - extracted with APK extractor and installed. However not yet tested because I didn't have wifi to download updates to google play etc. Hopefully this works.

The MCU is MTCD_KGL_V2.54_1

Can I ask one other question?

Does anyone know how to use your android phone as a USB storage device on one of these units? The main reason I want to do this is because I have music on my phone that I want to play, and the bluetooth A2DP player quality is very poor. I can put music on a USB stick and plug it in and that works, but the MTCD will not recognize my android 6 phone as a storage device. Do I need a special kind of cable? or is there some setting I can change?

I guess I can keep using USB sticks, but it would of course be much more convenient if I didnt have to load music on both my phone and a USB stick.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
I ve never been able to get it to recognise my phone, dont know why, but not really looked into it.

I use an sd card for music.

I m not keen on the quality of a2dp usually, but all my music is in flac format (I dont do lossy compressed formats) and these play really well through the headunit with a2dp, much better than lossy formats like m3, mp4, aac etc. I know this cos several friends have these head units and I ve played the music on my phone through their units. But you only get back, next and play controls on the unit, theres no proper file selection method, you have to do it all on the phone.

So, thats why I end up using an sd card.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mikstew:
Ok. If someone as experienced as you couldn't figure out the phone connection, I am not going to bother. I will just use SD/USB key. Thx again for all your help. I am very appreciative.

Hello,

If I install the Dasaita firmware on my Erisin (KGL) ES6046B. How will the main screen be?

Can someone put a picture?

Thank you

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Well my point was I havent actually bothered trying to figure it our, it may be simple or someone else may know why it doesnt work.

It doesnt matter really cos yu can put any launcher you want on it either from the playstore or one of the MTCD launchers.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] makes2068:
Any suggestions for maps freezes?

Still exists in actual stock Rom from dasaita.

So can anyone tell me the standard bits you should get with the HU. I seem to be missing 1 x USB cable and a bundle of other connectors. I have the USB labelled 3G WIFI and one labelled USB.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] verkion:
I think it depends on your particular unit manufacturer. My KLD unit didn't come with a 3rd USB breakout.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Theres often another set of pads nside for a 3rd usb port even if you havent got one so you can add one if you wnat.

Good evening guys.

I just have an Android Car Radio:

Witson W2-B5742

Octa-Core 64-bit PX5 Cortex-A53 1.5GHZ with Android 6.0.1

I would like to make an update, as I have problems with the WiFi, which disconnects and wraps even when it is connected does not browse. Do you have similar problems with PX5?

I would like to know what is the latest firmware that I can install and compatible with 800 * 480?

And what is the MCU compatible with my device?

Sorry my many questions, but I'm inexperienced!

Thanks for the attention.

Hello I just received a HU from xtrons. It is PX5, GS MCU.

Are there any known issues with dead units caused by high temps? I am using an external amplifier so I guess that this will keep the unit cooler but I when I took the HU out of the box and held it in my hands it felt very lightweight... So I am worried because I think there is not a big enough heatsink inside.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Its quite easy to add a heatsink and/or a fan.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] NikosPot:
Of course it is easy, but they have a warranty sticker on the unit. :rolleyes: (also the sticker is at a place that can easily be destroyed when installing the device but anyway...)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Yes I know - as soon as you put it in a double DIN cage the sticker comes off, well, in most installs in some it doe not.

But you can take the unit apart without harming the sticker - you just remove the base and back and take the top and sides off together, leaving the stickers intact. :)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] alda.cerny:
when the Xtrons HU is heated, the tape is easily removed without damage (i used tweezers)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] NikosPot:
In my install the sticker is ok for now (I don't put the unit in a metal cage) but it is above a screw... And it arrived like this

https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=9f5d2183dbeec281375c3ec79e0850b7&oe=59B5F3C7

But even if I open it, does it make any sense to install a fan without drilling some holes on the top metal of the unit?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] alda.cerny:
i don't know how to install a fan without drilling some holes on the top metal of the unit

I am reconciled that I lost my guarantee
[MTCD Android Head Units General] NikosPot:
Anyway for now it will stay stock hardware :P

Is there any way to extract the .img update files? I need an .apk from the stock FW that is missing from Malaysk rom. It was something for GPS that was showing the satellites, coordinates, speed, etc... I do not want to install the stock FW again, take the apk and then reinstall Malaysks because it is boring.

I think that this is offtopic but I do not know where to ask for that.

Thanks!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Unless purchased from local dealer the warranty is lip service as cost to return is very high.

A fan is not necessary; if unit is mechless, fit the biggest heatsink you can and secure with a minimum of thermal cement.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

Extract from firmware files. Plenty of guides here, use search.

There are many apps like that on the Play Store, like GPS Test, for example.

Does this unit support dual zone?

I need to connect it to the headrest monitor.

I need one of the Bellow options:

1. Mirror the aux in to the headrest monitors

2. Duplicate the main screen to the headrest monitor.

3. Send a specific app (movie player) to the headrest monitor.

I had this in an old windows mobile system, but I can not find it in this unit

Thanks
[MTCD Android Head Units General] NikosPot:
Yes you are right, thanks.

On my GS unit I connected my OBD reader and the data refreshing seems very delayed in the Torque app... The same OBD reader on my cell phone updates the data really fast almost immediately!

Has anyone similar issues?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] verkion:
Don't need to...if you go to settings > navigation settings, there is an entry there that will show you the GPS satellites connected etc. Malaysk baked the same functionality into his ROM!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Tonino92:
Perfect thanks. Download the dmcu_MX_v2.59 and the firmware of 31.07.2017.

Upgrading Risks? Does everything work the same way? If it does not work well I can go back to the firmware and previous dmcu? Are there improvements with wifi? at this moment to me is very unstable.

Thank you very much!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
ALL ROMs (stock and custom)for all processors come with this functionality !
[MTCD Android Head Units General] NikosPot:
Yeap I found it! Thanks.

What about my OBD issue? Are all this units like this? Or maybe my just my OBD reader doesn't cooperates nicely with the HU?

Edit: Also it shows some wrong stats... How is that possible? When I connect it on cell phone it is fine. When connected on the HU it is very slow and wrong in some values.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Floston:
Rom can be installed any, for example, Malaysk v5.0 or stock

MCU is preferred native.

I have done temperature monitorig of px5 cpu by openning file from time to time during 3 hours in directory sys/rockchip_thermal/temp. Ambient temperature +25 degree, load music and mapsme navigation,also video 4k, air conditioner on and off.in the begining temperature was 55-60,after one hour and later 65-72. When air conditioner is on

temperature drops down by 3-5 degree.i have big size heatsink installed in addition to stock heatsink.

Any idea about 72 degree is it critical for our cpu?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
72deg c at core is OK.

What is heatsink temp? How have you attached the heatsink?

Suggest that you may not have effective thermal coupling between cpu and heatsink.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kasall7:
Heatsink was bought from taobao.com and came with attached adhesive,heatsink size 53mmx 53mm x 25mm.i glued it down by means of this adhesive to existing flat heatsink.coupling is very strong.at first i tested my unit

on the desk with open cover, i do not have thermometer so i used my fingers:)

Additional heatsink was quite hot but bit cooler than flat heatsink.

Do you think this heatsink would be enough?

Have anybody done temperature test?can you share results?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
You should drill holes in the heatsink (aligned with the holes in theSoM) and attach it with the screws, if it comes unstuck it could kill your unit.

You used you fingers as a thermometer ??!!

what can be the problem and the solution ? :(

please help me .
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Floston:
or in USB

first update the MCU, then ROM
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
There is no need to update separately, do both at the same time - put both on SD card and the unit should auto detect the updates.

My experience matches [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] - there is no need to separate MCU and android firmware. I dont understand your statement.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Floston:
because you are reading between the words

the main thing is not an update, but understanding that the bugs in the MCU or / and ROM are gone in the new version.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
The fact is you DO NOT have to update MCU and ROM separately, you CAN do them together, end of.

Does your HU's support Google Now (or any Android-side mic related at all) ?

I bought mine ~2 weeks ago and I cannot get anything mic related working. (Tried multiple Android-apps, Voice recorder, Google Now, Google Maps, etc.).

Seller claims that there is no support for that whatsoever but can that be actually true? I thought most of these PX5 head units are pretty much the same, except the MTCD part.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
They are built pretty much the same, but there are minor differences in the motherboards, some have the mics wired differently.

I would check out any threads about mic mods in the MTCD and the MTCD forum as well, you may need to perform some sort of mod to get it working, but it does on all the units (MTCB, MTCC and MTCD) I ve experienced
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
yes, I confirm that firmware are all the same except MCUs that are not all interchangeable, pay attention! The microphone works perfectly even using Google now. I'm afraid yours is a hardware problem! Do you use the internal or external microphone?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] JokinenK:
I have tried both, the internal (on the front panel) and the external (from back connector). Maybe I should check the wiring, just wondering if I should return (or complain about it) to the seller.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
As I said, it may be that his is wired differently - some units are - it especially seems so as his seller says it is not compatible with Voice search.

Well if theyre claiming it doesnt support it I m not sure you can, where dya buy it form ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] JokinenK:
It's bit funny, at first the seller requested the apk's of the apps that did not work. After I sent them, they told me that it does not support mic at all.

Anyhow, if it's only about wiring - I am not afraid to do some soldering as long as I have some clue which pins/pads to work on.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Well maybe it is broken then. You can dismantle the unit without tearing the stickers if you take the back and bottom off. I d do this and have a look, it should be obvious where both mics are.
