Try this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.in.zextr.wcf&hl=it and verify soldering on 1st antenna as they put glue on coreboard but not insulated glue, might be occour some fake contacts. I removed all the glue and inserted a little piece of soft self adhesive foam before closing the head unit.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bingoboy1975:
I have the Erisin ES6405V and with my device the soldering worked absolutely fine. The original antenna was total garbage and the shielding was not correctly soldered to the circuit board. After soldering a pigtail and using a long wifi antenna everything works fine now.

I cannot remember that my board has two wifi antennas. I think mine has only one. And my device has not 32GB, but only 26.64GB. Is it though possible to use the system updates from this thread? Is it possible to backup my old system before running the update? Thank you! :)

Sub remote wire

Hi guys,

I have an Xtrons (GS) unit installed in my BMW E90 and I now want to add a subwoofer however, I'm trying to locate the "remote" wire. I've noticed the loom has a "AMP CON" wire, is this the wire to use?

Thanks
[MTCD Android Head Units General] etulio:
I understand that you are refering to the wire that is connected from the headunit to the amplifier (or subwoofer amplifier), in order to turn amplifier ON. Depending on the manufacturer of the device, this wire may have different names, but if you read the wire functional description, it should say that it is used by the headunit to remotely turn amplifier ON.

I'd say that yes, AMP ON is same as REMOTE, but you may confirm by reading the description in the Headunit and Amplifier Installation Instructions.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] sirleeofroy:
That is exactly what I'm trying to achieve, I would be inclined to agree with you on the "AMP CON" wire as it's the only description that makes some sort of sense.

"Installation Instructions" What are they?!?!?! :eek:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Mate,

Do you want to test the english version of it? I translated him into english but not self-tested so i'm not sure of it went well.. as "you" know, i'm very noob to all of these things.

No.. i'm not -from- russian :)

Let me even know if it works?

Success :good:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
Friend, translation does important. Yeah is in English. I asked another thing: "If there is anyone able to run it on our PX5 unit." Because this only works on PX3 and RK 3066. Did you change the PX5 base?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Thanks for testing friend :good: .. But do you have it then (PX5 base) :confused:

A new one:

I removed the Russians and inserted/translated it to Dutch language too,

So, you have now 2 lango, Dutch + English..

Let me know if it works?

Laat me maar ff weten als het werkt?

Ps: if every-guys-one do his bit part then "we" are a long done with this one.. Right???

(((so, this is my -2 lango- part!)))

Success :good:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
I tried did not work. The volume level is always the same. Only notification on the screen comes out but does not change the volume if they accelerate and decell.

We need someone who compiles it on PX5 basis. Thanks for your contribution
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Hi, i think you did not understood it as well, i've translated this russes apk into english & dutch,

i cannot make it works on the px5.. this is something for the developers and or a team works to do that, unfortunately i'm not one of them, i wish i was but, i'm very very noob to all of these things..

you must have the sources of the px5 or someone from them team prepared to give it for free? or you get some luck by testing -files by switching them and or edit it them!- and testing them out again until you get it to works.. its not so easy like 1.2.3.. can you do that?

Then i wish you many luck :fingers-crossed:

You Are Most Welcome :good:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] itrends:
Thank you. But that does not look like it actually allows making the screen brighter :(
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Unfortunately, that was also true too, but what did you expected from a Chinese devices (hu) and for such a price?

There are no other options for your problem except to make your own car tablet and then you can decide which display you like to using in your own car!

My "problem" with these chinese head units is the picture/image/video quality of them.. they are too bad.. generally.. bad video drivers = bad -chinese- developers!

About that M.V prog,

I will give you a good example than you could understand it very well.

There are currently a lot of flat screen tv now available for sale like the samsung / sony / toshiba / LG / Philips etc etc.. right? but only one of those is the best of them all and that is the samsung (Suhd) and why is that then?

Simple, because he has a much much better and super sharper picture/image/video quality while the other tv's are almost the same as the samsung.. blabla procs, blabla millions of colors blabla 10Bit etc etc.

But can they display a superb & sharpest image as the samsung does?

the answer is No.. right?

That's what that M.V prog does!!!

Success :good:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] itrends:
I understand. I'd be happy to replace with a different display panel if I knew one that would fit (7") and would work with the head unit.

For now I've ordered an anti glare screen cover and guess I will just have to live with not being able to use my stereo in the daytime.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
I read from the article you provided that it requires the vendors SoC implementation and the application to enable it. It wont work on our RK Head units.

Can you post a link for download of the gs mcu 2.44?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] f1x:
Sorry, I was wrong. I have GS v2.43.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Have you considered applying HA v2.52 on your GS?

Refer Thread mtcd-verified-cross-compatible-mcus
[MTCD Android Head Units General] syk02jcb@hotmail.com:
This was new for me, didn't now about cross-compability. I will check it out. Thank you!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
What would be the benefits of that MCU?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
While we dont have detailed changes for this, the folllowing is what I noted on my originally px3 JY v2.06 unit (although there is some information on other threads re. Px5 fw changes)

- Enables px5 sleep mode menu "shutdown delay when acc off"

- Reliable bluetooth pairing (may also be present in earlier v.)

- BT call audio in both front speakers

- Radio sensitivity / selectivity improved (better FM performance)

- 50 more horse power and better fuel economy

- street credibility.

The last two might not apply to all.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
Gotta install directly!

What are the steps to do this? I've got GS right now. I saw something about backing up a config or something?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Export your [factory] settings file and also suggest documenting your [factory] settings. The export is simply placed with MCU update file.

For 800x400 (dont think any GS PX5 released at this res?) an additional file is created and placed with MCU and factory settings, which applies screen res.

Details in MCU cross-compatability thread, otherwise usual MCU upgrade steps apply.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] syk02jcb@hotmail.com:
Said to have the delayed shutdown setting option. With my canbus the hu shuts down after a while after ignition turned off, but immediately when opening any front door with ignition turned off. Often my kids will wait in the car while I'm in the shop, hoping this setting is making it possible to leave the car with the player on.

Best option would be possible to turn on hu with delayed turn off, without turning inhibition on. (Ford have this 1 hour-on-mode on Sony hu I liked)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] macandnews:
In the radio application, how do you make the right button on the car stereo set the frequency instead of navigating through the memorized radios?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

After some testing I have got a massive improvement with this fan: Revoltec - 40 mm Air Guard 40 mm x 40 mm x 10 mm, 5000 RPM. I was yesterday on a 2 hour drive and had no GPS issues at all, also the unit worked without any performance issues :) .

I have placed one fan at the back of the unit and I want to place the other one directly on the PX5 board, but I haven’t done that yet, when everything is finished I will post some pictures of the modification.

The power supply for the Fans are the GND and ACC cable going to the Radio. When the Car is turned off you can hear the Fan, but it's still quiet and doesn't disturb me. When the engine is running I can't hear the Fan anymore.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
Update:

the fantastic tool also came out for our Px5. Among the various functions is also what I was most interested in: "volume control based on speed." There is also mapping of the keys to the steering wheel, adjusting the brightness of the screen a base to the GPS. The developer uploaded it to the play store.

In the tool there is room for donation. As soon as I'm in the car I'll try it. You have to have root and xposed installed. If anyone tries it right away, tell me if it works well. Has any of you already tried?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
Cool, gotta try that tonight!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
I can't ir make to work. It warns me that is it not a mtc unit

Enviado desde mi D6603 mediante Tapatalk
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
It warns yes. But it works fine
[MTCD Android Head Units General] gsrcrxsi:
Speed volume control won't work well. The head unit doesn't know how fast you are going unless you input a VSS signal from the car. There is no such input for these units.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
The same argument applies to me! Does not work . I've been an hour to figure out how to make it work, I've made many changes but no success! Only the notification on the screen that is changing volume but not really. I also set PawerAmp as a reader. Why did the developer put it on the play store? Maybe I'm not able to run it?" Nomader " Are you sure it works for you?

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

Ikerg : The tool is activated by giving all permissions. I did this but it does not activate the volume change ..! The worst thing is that now I can not longer control the volume from the steering wheel buttons even by turning off the service. I have the impression that there is a conflict between MTC service default and this "My MTC service" tool. I noticed that there are both application in the settings. Maybe we should only have one of the two?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
I have not tested everything to see if it works.

What I have tested and works OK is:

-The Poweramp toast (info of song played)

-Disable the load of last app on resume.

-Pause Poweramp when volume is mute.

Tell me what you want me to try and I will try it for you
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
I only care about "volume control based on speed". PawerAmp was already working well: pause, resume, next, volume +, volume - even without the tool. The information of the song played also works for me.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Mate,

can you upload it here? just to see how it "made" and "to compare it" (if i can ofcourse) and maybe translate it to other lango too.

thanks :good:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
Just go to the play store. It is translated into English.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
hahah, believe me i can read as well..

But i'm behind my laptop so not in the car and if i was in the car still cannot compare it too.. gotta?

Not to english but to other language too.. maybe to Italiano if you gonna help.. mamamia.. perché mi capiscono correttamente? ;)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
It would be nice if you translate it into Italian. First we have to check why it does not work. I advise you to wait for an updated version and then translate. If you want to do the same, do as well. ; )
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
What version are you talking about? This is version 0.7.1.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Among other things, I did not understand if it contains all the unlocked actions without donate
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
I meant to compare him with the px3 one, with that apk you have uploaded here!

There are some magic things to avoid that.. not allowed to talk about it here!!

Ps: this new one is for the px5.. right?

:good:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
Yes, it's written for Px5 but it does not work for me. Now I am talking about this:

You can send him a decent message and ask him why it does not works on the (with my) px5?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] DanB0y:
Did anyone found a fix for the audio playback stuttering/noises ? It's driving me crazy. I'm using a USB DAC and it was fine before on my PX3. Even USB Audio Player Pro (that uses it's own USB driver) has the same issue.. I tried changing CPU Governor, disabling/uninstalling about every apps, enabling airplane mode, etc. Nothing yet..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] diefem:
For me it (MyMTCService 0.7.1) does not work too :(

It displays the volume change, but it does not really have an effect on the volume. These behaviors showed the other programs, such as "RK3066-Headunit" or "G.A.L.A" , etc. on PX5 systems as well.

I looks like nobody really knows the volume-"variable" which control the main volume on Android 6 / PX5 Systems.

My System: Erisin PX5 Headunit, Malaysk ROM V2, MCU LM 2.41
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
APP author and discussion can be found in this thread. Perhaps discuss and provide feedback there?

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

Is the GPS in your unit not working?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bose321:
When do you have those issues? I only have them with Spotify. The default music app works fine (when you disable the visualizer!), and PowerAmp seems to work good too.

It's strange it even does it with a DAC actually. I read it has something to do with a certain buffer that's missing. Some people reported that installing a fan helped, because it can also be CPU throttling issues.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
I think you are confused.

the app that supports PX5 is "MyMtcservice"

search for that in playstore. This tool has no support for volume change according to speed

I think you have installed the old app called Mtcservice, which does not support PX5 and is also on playstore
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
I have put the link more than once. I was talking about "mymtcService" but as I said it does not work for me. This tool should be compatible with Px5. As you see from the photo there is volume control based on speed. I installed the version on the Play Store without donation to try it and it does not work.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] diefem:
:confused:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
ok, now i am confused :)

this is the correct app..

but i can not find the speed volume setting in the app..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] scorillo_ro:
Later edit: This modification is now part of the version 3 of Malaysk's ROM!

I've been using the voice enabled framework-res.apk for the last three days and had no problems.

I'm using Malaysk's ROM (version 2), so if anyone wants to try this, here is the modified version: framework-res.apk_malay_voice (save it with this name when download).

I'll try to provide step by step instructions as accurate as I can, but in case anything will go wrong you can always use the recovery mode to reinstall the rom (keeping everything by selecting "no wipe").

First step will be to use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/framework folder and remount it as read/write (MOUNT R/W as in the attached screenshot), then copy the downloaded framework-res.apk_malay_voice to this folder.

Next step is to use a terminal (I used Terminal Emulator) to issue the following commands (second attached screenshot):

su
cd /system/framework
chmod 644 framework-res.apk_malay_voice
cp framework-res.apk_malay_voice framework-res.apk

Reboot your system and you will be able to place calls directly from the Contacts application.

I switched away from True Contacts in favor to Contacts+ because it gives you to call favorite contacts without confirmation (just click on the contact icon), has built in call log and also you can use it's dial pad to enter phone numbers and even use T9 dial.

PS. Remember that MtcdDialer is still required!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] DanB0y:
Maybe I used the wrong expression, It's not really stuttering because it dont skip or stop, it's more of a digital noise / distortion, like very little "pops" that happens every couple seconds. It must have something to do with usb buffering or something like this ..?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] droc.noles:
Still struggling with this on my end...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
Are you using the auto shutdown option?

Can you disable that restart and check if the issue occurs
[MTCD Android Head Units General] droc.noles:
Not sure what you're referring to with this option - can you elaborate?

Also - not sure how that would impact glitching / popping audio, but you might have insight as to why any sort of auto shutdown could be responsible for these audio issues.

Disconnecting Bluetooth connectivity from my phone to the unit seems to lessen the occurrence of these little bursts of audio interference, but I have nothing to verify that doing this truly helps, as I still see sporadic glitching when I really push the unit by opening up several apps concurrently, and especially so when the unit seems to be transferring data - this is when I see these bursts show up more often. Not sure if it's the data transfer itself, or if it's related to system writes as data comes in?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
I mean does your unit shut down completely when you leave your car? I have a feeling that a clean restart (reset button) will solve this issue..maybe deep sleep is the root cause

Press the reset and try to see if this occurs.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] droc.noles:
It's not a full shutdown, no - of course, the unit states that it's "shutting down" when I turn the car off, but it's essentially sleep state / quick start when I turn the car back on.

The thing is, even if I fully restart, eventually I'll be right back in the same situation once I'm using a few apps at the same time? I'm using Malaysk's ROM for the record - Dasaita PX5 for a 2016 Corolla. This issue has persisted across all of the iterations of the Dasaita ROMs that have been published, all MCU versions, and still persists with Malaysk's ROM.

I've kinda left this topic alone for some time now since it seemed as though there really wasn't going to be a solution forthcoming anytime soon, until the topic was brought up by another yesterday in this thread.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Will you try this out..

you see the option to set the volume under the mentioned option, set them on and also the option under that too, so you have now selected 2 options on plus the settings of the volume!

You have these "on" :

=> Speed range from ... to ...

=> Change level from ..... most change it.

=> Enable display the volume bare

And test it again.. you never know!

Success :fingers-crossed:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
Certainly I have selected them. I did all the possible tests without success. I sent an e-mail to the developer but his answer is not understandable. I sent another for more information and did not answer me yet. Did you install it? Does it work for you?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
No, not yet.. to be very honest with you, i don't really need (must have) it becouse i had it on my x car with the vw oem rns 510 car dvd radio.. i'm using the swc buttons for volume now which i also had it and used to it on my x car beside that automatic volume one too.. nice to have it but not must to have it!!

But like to see how it work on these hu's , so to test it and maybe to translate it too.

Patience :good:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
Ok. Your work will be appreciated. Thanks friend.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
Ok, I updated the mymtcservice app, and now the speed volume appears.. it seems that this was not available in the early release. I will try and tell you if it works
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
What version do you have now? It's strange what you say because in what I have (0.7.1 -no donate) it was all done. But it did not work. Did you download it from the play store you too?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] nadkp:
i can confirm, that the option appears, but on my xtrons px5 with 2.52 HA mcu, it isn't working. I get a volume change symbol at the defined speed limits, which i had set, but the radio stays at the same volume level :confused:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
OK. Then you have confirmed that it does not work as in my case. I do not understand why the developer said it also works on Px5. Hopefully in an update. Thank. ; )
[MTCD Android Head Units General] bettuccio:
Update other application:

With great pleasure, I found what I was looking for "volume adjustment based on speed." Thanks to 4pda Russian friends I installed this xposed module, then I configured the speeds and it worked ..! The developer should be Graser. In the tool there are other functions if you want to use it. The name says "Graser Dasaita" but I wanted to try the same and it worked. I hope the Russian friends will not be offended if I put them here ... Great thanks to them.

Bluetooth Pairing from Command Line

I have a GS (Xtrons) unit with MCU 2.43 and Malaysk v2 Rom. I've been trying to bt pair an obdlink lx with no success for weeks. Does anyone know if there are any command line bt tools that could be used to connect, read/send pin and pair from the command line?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] DanB0y:
Ok I found something !! :victory:

I installed Kernel Adiutor and under CPU, I disabled Core 5-6-7-8, leaving only 4 cores out of 8 working.

Headunit speed stayed pretty much the same, I did not found it slow.

Started USB Audio Player Pro and I got perfect audio output :good: I tried several songs in different formats (MP3, FLAC)

The song are playing from a 64gb USB drive in USB1 and sent to the USB DAC on USB port 2.

Now the bad side of this workaround.. native USB Audio is not working anymore, so no output to my USB DAC with other apps like Spotify, etc.
