Most of the parts used in these units are made be the same people who supply OEM manufacturers (I have loads of STMicroElectronics parts in my car), they are not bad quality, as [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION] says, they are buggy, but this is mostly down to poor development - its like therye at the Beta stage and not quite finished. What you say would be good - if a company could "finish" of the final development stage by removing the bugs from the software and the odd silly design mistake ,not sure if theres that much profit in it and all the known western manufacturers have gone down the Android Auto/Apple Car Play route, us lot with full on Android are a niche. Still there are 4 or 5 custom ROMs available to sort out most of the software bugs and several minor hardware mods to sort out the hardware bugs, so what youre asking for is here already and also on 4pda.ru and its free, well free money wise, not time wise.

They arent perfect but I d never buy anything from one of the well known aftermarket car stereo manufacturers. Can you imagine how much theyd charge if they made untis with all the features of ours ? - it would easily £1000 + in GBP/$1300 USD. But I think [MENTION=4982071]SomebodySysop[/MENTION]'s idea was that a company sort out the bugs before sale, so the buggy/problematic thing wouldnt apply. You always seem to ahve a dim view of these units [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION], yet you keep buying them lol, you must like them a bit ? :)

Lol, it doesnt look like artifact to me, it looks like youve just got a live wallpaper set on your launcher, have you tried changing it for a normal wallpaper ?

I thought they were all compatible with each other, have you tried downloading a ROM from another RK3368/PX5 manufacturer and seeing if theres a DAB there, then extracting it ?

The noise sounds like you just need a ground loop isolator.

Klyde uses a different DAB+ app. This app should work (for me only the 1.5 version works): http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/apps/DAB apk/

If you want a better looking app I can send you my modded version. But first lets see if this app will work :)

Did you change the kgl mcu to HA?

If so....can you revert the change to KGL again?

Lol, as I said its not artefacts its just a live wallpaper . . . although it does go over the top bar, which it shouldnt, maybe its corrupt live wallpaper, maybe he should try clearing data and cache or just changing the wallpaper.

Haven't seen the vertical stripes?

Looks like a hardware issue (cable or screen). Years ago, i had a very similar looking with my old notebook and it was the ribbon cable that was slidly broken.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
I was thinking that they were just the camera - I get loads of effects like that in the pictures when I take photos of my screen, whatever camera I ve used.

I had a weird artefact problem the other day - some icons appear very distorted, but if you changed to app that area on the screen was fine but a different type of distortion appeared somewhere else, it was an MTCB unit, I opened it up and found a big dollop of solder over a load of resistors, which I removed (at low temp so it wasnt factory solder) with solder wick and the problem was 99% sorted, see this thread :

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/mtcb-android-head-units-qa/screen-problem-t3630826

I ve also heard of people with screen connector problems - [MENTION=6005745]ptclabs[/MENTION] has one.

This is the gs (xtrons) launcher. You'll find it in post 2 in this tread
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Mau2012sim:
Most probably you're dealing with a problem in either your display cable connection (Foil on Glass) or with one of the display driver-IC's (Chip on Glass). See this YouTube movie. Either way, there are intermittent contacts or contacts that have high resistance values. It is a problem that is often related to the bonding of the display cable or drive-IC's to the LCD glass. If the bonding process is not optimal these line artifacts often occur after a short period in use.

You might notice that the line patterns change when applying pressure to the edge of the display, or when the temperature changes.

Anyway, it is a hardware defect and should be dealt with under guarantee by the seller.

Yeah bud I did that & It works fine but this is not related to the mcu update, Ive actually had this problem since I got the unit. I do believe it is a hardware issue im working with the seller to see what we can work out. I really like the head but i dont want this to become a bigger problem later on. I want to see if I can send it back for a replacement.

No, its the standard MTCD RK3368/PX5 launcher, Xtrons are just sellers, GS are manufacturers but they use the standard MTC launchers, the manufacturers Kai Ge Le (KGL) and Klyde (KLD) commission their own launchers from MTC, Roximo are the only sellers to have their own launcher.

Download the ROM and extract it.

Or he could download it and do it himself.

Once its extracted I can put it on the fileserver in my signature so anyone can download it.

Done. But also only the hint to extract.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nyx2008:
Anyone knows how to enable the rear camera while driving? When I start the AVIN app I get a black screen, presumably because this is for the front camera. My camera is always powered. In a other topic I read this is possible with the F-cam apk which has the possibility to switch to rear camera. Anyone who has this app? Can you please post it?

I use a MTCD PX5 KLD MCU 2.57 with Malysk ROM v2. My rear camera works fine when I switch to reverse.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
The AV in app is for any video/audio you want to plug into the unit, fron cams are uisually connected via USB.

If you havent connected anything to AV in it will be a black screen and if youve connected the rear cam but not connected the it to any power supply the screen will be black.

Normally the camera is triggered to turn on by the reversing lights, if you want it on at other times you ll have to put a switch on the pink reverse wire to trigger the rear cam when driving and youre not in a reverse gear.

You wouldnt need to use the AV in app to view it - if you wire in a switch when you turn the switch on the reverse cam will automatically come on and off when you turn it on and off.

This applies to all car stereos and reversing cams, not just these units.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nomader0:
I will provide you guys with a solution:

1. Download mymtcservice from play store. There is a setting to prevent last app from running after resume. Enable that

2. Install tasker Learn how to use it.

3. Create a profile in tasker as when the specific card is mounted to run power amp.

4.in Poweramp there is a setting to make it play automatically when run. Enable this.

That's it

I will not explain it more, read try learn
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Nyx2008:
My Android Head unit is connected to the reverse in wire from the car harness. This way the android head unit switches to the rear camera RCA input when I shift in reverse. This is controlled by the MCU so this also works when the head unit is still booting up.

Nevertheless it is possible to 'call up' this rear image with use of an app, like user 'rickthecabbie' describes in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73220630&postcount=13

My camera is not powered from the taillight but from a constant power source behind my glove box (the Intelligent Parking ECU in my Prius). So it can work regardless of the shift position (taillight only lights up when in reverse). So I'm looking for the F-cam.apk to use my backup camera while driving.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
To use the rear cam all head units have to be connected to the reverse wire in the harness for rear cam, thats what its there for. There are 2 ways to wire it into the reverse light - either run wires from the reverse light or using a CAN Bus decoder if your car has CAN Bus, both ways ARE wired to the reverse light (even if theyre not powered by it like yours, its still wired to it indirectly via the CAN Bus network), but with the CAN Bus box method the CAN Bus box can tell when the reverse light is on, the pink wire is how the MCU knows that reverse gear has been selected and this is probably what F-cam uses to tell the MCU to turn on the rear cam when not in reverse.

I wasnt ware that F-cam could do that, sounds a great idea, much easier than wiring a switch. F-cam should show up when you select front camera in factory settings, if it doesnt show up on the RK3368/PX5 ROMs when front camera is selected then it may have been removed and then you may need to download a 5.1.1. ROM or a 7.1.2. ROM and extract it from those, although there is the possibility it wont work plus you may have to install it as a system app.

Hi Nyx2008 - I see that you have a KLD unit. Do you use DAB at all, if so what app do you use. I'm having issues finding an app that will get my Shinwa box working. Many thanks.

I've got some question according steering wheel buttons on my GS PX5 Xtrons unit. Got factory installed 2.43 GS.

Buttons work pretty well, but I cannot remap buttons via standart app in settings. When I open remapping app it is just blank. There are only two buttons - Reset and Save.

Pressing any button on a steering wheel makes nothing. Is there anyway to remap the buttons? :) For example I would like to assign Spotify app to MODE button. Or to setup Voice call button to answer an incoming call. Now when I have an incoming call I press voice button nothing happens. When I press this button in a normal mode it launches dialer on head unit.

I wanted also to remap physical buttons on a head unit. I can program any button via factory settings, but I can't find any way to remap it to custom installed app for example spotify. Is there any solution? :)

[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
You are using a headunit with can-bus. In these cases you can't remap the functions of your swc buttons as they are hard coded.

You can use MTCD tools to give new functionality to buttons (even launching Spotify)

I used it to map my steering wheel call button to call "OK, Google". Problem I found is that original hardcoded function still launches as well as new custom function.

Hi,

I had the same issue with mine GS radio. Problem was that I have connected a wrong radio "key" cable to the car installation. I have connected the other one and now works.

Good luck,

[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
In your case...if you don't have can-bus box and wires are wrongly connected your swc button won't work until rhery were connected right. And the swc buttons are recognized to be remapped under swc learning app.

When can-bus box....it is supposed that you dont need to remap them

Hi mate [MENTION=7838245]realzoulou[/MENTION]...great stuff.!

A question please, there is an apk called "F-Cam" on Xtrons and in Factory settings you enable it with "Front Camera" to grant switching after gear engagement for pre-set time (up to 30 sec). I suppose this apk doesn't run because Xtrons do not provide front camera input plug and switch it toward no source.

Is it possible to modify apk entering as source the "input AV in" instead?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Madyen:
Mate,

that's what i meant to say with my post, xtrons company did nothings totally nothings for the sw/fw update at all, the only one thing they repeatedly said it: we do not have new sw/fw.. and they let the customers searching for another -u turn- way by another re-sellers companys to/for fixes them xtrons hu fw/sw problems.. and that good guy spoke about Hate & Love => U-turn..

I speak about damn right facts..

as you can read that the nice guys must made his own dab+ apk.. and fixing the poor wifi!!

good job well done mate.. keep it coming ;)

No.. no.. i don't have it any more!

Ps:i'm asking myself the same question again and again: why the other hu reseller company & Alibaba too (oh my cash) does well have a newer gs sw/fw and from where they got it than???

All of these GS fw/sw rom are the same if they are made for the And6 or And5 head unit except the mcu file so why xtrons company didn't give it to the customers when they asking for it at all.. did they must pay for it??? maybe that's why!?!?!?

:good:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
All the manufacturers are just assemblers.

A company sells then the px5 board. And software developers sells them the software.

I am.with you...why people should be asking for updates when hct people (developer) release a new version monthly?

It should be easier for customers to get the update from.a web site and ask only to the seller the mcu update (which is developed specifically for each brand)

Absolutely correct and i 100% fully agree with you, months ago i had asked that lovely lady about the sw/fw update site and her answer was: we don't have any sw/fw update site.. imagine that and its cames from a big -re- seller company so called xtrons mate!!!

[MTCD Android Head Units General] trap63:
Xtrons forum worth: 2 cents.. tech support a little bit better. they asked to return DAB stick to stop conversation. It runs perfectly with latest and this modded apk. People is buying 5.1 too just for Malaysk development not for their unstable release. they don't know what are selling. Winlink is worst than Xtrons.

Mostly they destroy a good hardware platform with stupid policies locking BT, modem stick, DVR cam and so on. Very stupid. Very.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bingoboy1975:
I think there are more bugs than only these:

- The alternative frequencies (AF) of the RDS don't work at all. The radio app never switches to a stronger signal of the same broadcasting station.

- The handsfree has a bad quality because the person that calls and talks with me hears his echo. The voice of the caller should be filtered by software from the microphon stream.

Do we all have these bugs or is it specially me? I run the KGL ROM 2017-03-07.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] trap63:
My S7 Edge works very fine with Xtrons BT , so clear. I installed stock microphone of car to input jack (mini) of HU.

About AF I run often DAB+ but RDS function as well as here in Italy. I noticed that internal plug of FM section is too wide for standard car FM antenna plug. When I opened HU for soldering diversity WiFi , I saw and reduced (close) FM connector from inside and smoothly curved the pinout of car antenna wire as the central hole is too wide for a good signal contact. No issue about station freq. (Northern Italy)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bingoboy1975:
Does the person on the other side hear you well and without an anoying echo? The bluetooth connection with my S6 works fine, I hear the caller perfectly. The other way round is the problem.

I use an external mic (plus unfortunately my internal mic because you cannot switch it off :)).

Does your RDS surely switch from one frequency to an alternative frequency, when the signal of the first frequency gets weak? With my device it definitely doesn't work.

I didn't have the impression that my central antenna hole is wide. But I have an Erisin, not a Xtrons.

I prefer DAB+ too :).
[MTCD Android Head Units General] trap63:
from the other side none claimed bad calls, try to flash with a new firmware if you'll be able to find one to see if may change the quality.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Peppergrinder:

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

Maybe the people you phone with are just polite and don't complain ;). Some people told me the quality was "okay". My girlfriend is honest, she told me the quality is rubbish.

I thinking about testing a Xtrons ROM.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Peppergrinder:
No issue with rds af so far - I noticed just today that the radio frequency changed to a stronger one. But I think it does not work if the app is working in the background. I'll have an eye on that and report again.

Regarding the echo, I can understand the caller very good but my girlfriend [emoji51]also complains about a strong echo after a couple of seconds... hopefully there will be some fix for this issue - maybe there's already an update available from erisin?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] th1000:
I have the Xtrons PB96MTVAPL and I also have problems with echo using the bluetooth apart from that I am happy with the unit. I had to buy a twin Fakra adaptor to get decent radio reception but alls good now. If a fix for the bluetooth is available that would be great.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bingoboy1975:
You have an Erisin and AF works, I'm astonished. Yes, please have an eye on it.

I wrote Erisin an Email 5 days ago asking for updates. No answer yet. If I get a download link I will post it here. My MCU Version is from January 2017, it's acient. Maybe that's the reason why my AF doesn't work. My ROM is from March (the newest known).
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Peppergrinder:
No, actually I don't know the brand, see my post above there's a link to the aliexpress seller site. But erisin uses the KGL MCU so I expect I can flash my unit if they provide a solution for their HU [emoji15]
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Bingoboy1975:

Not all CAN Bus cars have CAN Bus SWC, some still have resistive SWC, this may may be a factor in [MENTION=1162516]karollos[/MENTION]'s set up.

I have px5 gs unit with Malask 2.0 rom. It is my understanding that these units sleep for 24 hours before shutting down when acc is turned off. My question is: Can I increase the amount of sleep time greater than 24 hours? Or, how do I engage auto-sleep (which I am told will keep the unit in sleep mode indefinitely when acc is turned off)?
