Almost certainly not.

[MENTION=472138]hal9k[/MENTION] is in contact with an MTCE headunit retailer, maybe as the RK3399/PX6 headunits become more widespread, he will obtain an RK3399/PX6 SoM and make a ROM for it too.

****..I want one in a few weeks..should I wait for PX6 or go a PX5..

Seems PX5 is stable enough to get a run ...

And 2gig v 4gig.. kinda like asking does the extra $50-$70 matter..:silly:

I'm still on a PX3 & 1GB RAM and once googleplayservices are disabled it runs pretty quick.

I just want a unit with a much better screen. Most aren't very bright yet compared to OEM screens used in cars these days.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] myspac:
Ordered one of this new PX6 with this stupid old hardware plateform !

The PX6 have the same screen, usb2, ... but, but, but I like Android dev !

(and my "old" PX5 2gb had touch problem with cold temperature, refound by the seller...)

If someone knows how to root it (Android 8.1) .. thank you.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] kind3r:
Just my 2 cents.

As with any new hardware (that is not from a well known brand, but then again ...), there will be a lot of software issues in the begining. This issues will be solved in time of course. If you are an early adopter (like me sometimes) it will be frustating at first as not everything is working properly, but as the software grows better, using comunity feedback you will get the expected functionality at some point.

So it all boils up to the question: are you willing to alpha-beta-test this ? For me (so far), PX5 is stable and fast enough for everyday use. Of course there is always new functionality to 'hunt' after, but in the end, do you really need all that ?

I am still waiting for that day when I buy a new car and get the latest and greatest tech that is allready available on my phone. And not via Android Auto or Carplay etc. Just the HU behaving like an Android tablet that it's meant to be. Why this is so hard to do after so many years, beats me.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
[MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] has contact with the company selling them, so we should get a custom ROM pretty quick I think.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] kind3r:
Indeed, and that's great, but one person cannot solve all issues just by snapping his fingers :) I will take time, that's all I'm saying.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] myspac:
Ok, first, I have a problem with the unit, I have no sound ! I think the problem is a connector problem because when I use external speaker with the RCA output, I have the sound... (if someone knows if there is several connector for Audi TT mk2 unit (amplified , not amplified, bose ..) or if I must configure something: but my two previews unit worked fine like the original radio... I think this is a mistake, a wrong connector by my provider but not sure...)

But I do benchmark for you ! (For me, the unit is fast. The theme is not very beautiful for me, but I use an other launcher and will wait custom rom)

This is the result of geekbench.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
You need to establish whether you have non amplified, amplified (this will work on rear only) or Bose and then you need the correct adapter, sometimes you may have to move some plugs on the connector n the car, this is a car specific thing though, not really to do with MTCD/E units as it applies to any after market stereo fitted to a TT, an Audi forum will be able to help you in more detail.

I have the same problem as you with the brightness slider, I bought the Daisata PX6 - 9inch model in October 2019 from aliexpress... Were you able to fix?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rubberchickenmob:
My Dasaita PX6 Mtce head unit has been working flawlessly for a little bit less than a month aside from a few disconnects with Android Auto.

However, today my head unit crashed 2x. Each time I heard a speaker popping distortion noise for a second and then the head unit restarted.

The only app that was running was Spotify with the unit connected to my phone's hot spot. Weather was about 60F so it wasn't a very hot day.

Has anyone encountered this before and if so, do you know what might be causing it?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ChessSpider:
Yes; I had it twice after using my car to climb a mountain. I suspect its due to overheating. Thankfully afterwards it hasn't done it since. But it's definitely worth to invest some time+money in installing extra cooling for the px6
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rubberchickenmob:
I'm not sure if my issue was for to over heating as it wasn't a hot day and I only drove my car for 15 minutes. However, I'll definitely look into a cool solution for additional precaution. Are you aware of any recommended apps to monitor temperature of the CPU?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ChessSpider:
Without extra cooling in place it will overheat easily by just running an intensive app. I usually use google maps + spotify; that gets it w/ extra cooling to 75 degrees just running normal. See my tips/hints in my signature. Note; you can actually fit two of the linked cooling block onto the px6. I wish I had done that.

I use cpu-z, but im sure there are better options

I have an extra fan sitting around from an old PC that's collecting dust. Is there a reason why you didn't use a fan?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ChessSpider:
didnt have a fan sitting around from an old PC collecting dust unfortunately. One guy re-used the cooling of a GPU; thats the best approach imho.

Attaching a fan is only useful when combined with a heatsink imho. That little bit of metal on the soc is not enough if you ask me.

Hi! Could you let me know where do you wired the fan cable ? Is 12v or 5v? Do you have some photos? Thanks in advance
[MTCD Android Head Units General] matrixx1:
Hi, I have experienced the same, speakers start popping and than the device reboots. now it started to become a more frequent issue. I dont know if its because the mcu 3.37 update or something else. It did not happen to me in the summer when the outside temp is hot but started a week ago at the end of october when there is cool-mild whether, ca. after the mcu update but i am not sure if the two have something to do with each other.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rubberchickenmob:
I think you might be on to something. It has been getting colder and this issue occurred at night time. I've definitely gone through hotter days with no issues.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] matrixx1:
Let's hope it's an mcu issue and they will fix it in the next release, which will be released soon hopefully.

First is deffo not MTCD/E, second one looks like it is, in the third the "PX5" and "PX6" ones look like they are, but the "MTK" ones are not (there are no MediaTek MTCD/E units).

Does anyone knows if the RCA output will pass through the TDA amplifier for the 4 speakers

I donot have bose system but my 4 speakers are connected through the main socket with 8 wires going to 4 speakers

I have the static noise issue where if vol>0 and no music is played you hear the background fixed noise

I have seen on pda4u thay russian guys confirm that connecting speakers through RCA ( while leaving mid and sub unconnected ) will solve the static nosie issue

It needs manual soldering and I want to check if someone tried it here to avoid the hassle

[MTCD Android Head Units General] rubberchickenmob:
I just replaced my px6 core board due to crashing issues. With the new core board, Carplay functions as normal. However, I'm now no longer able to get Android Auto working.

When I plug the USB into my Android phone, my phone is prompted to download an app called Easy Connection or EasyCon. Zlink then auto launches on the head unit but Android Auto never starts.

Prior to replacing my core board I've never encountered this prompt on my phone to download the Easy Connection app. I would plug my phone in, Zlink would launch on the head unit, and then Android Auto would connect.

I've tried updating the mcu and noticed the following failed message:

Has anybody encountered this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
The errors are just other MCU related stuff it would flash at the same time as the MCU if theyre present, I note you didnt go into factory settings and use the "export" function before flashing the MCU, you should ALWAYS do this before flashing an MCU.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rubberchickenmob:
Does this mean the errors are expected and I should not be concerned?

I thought I went to settings > system > MCU update. Is this the "export" function you're referring to?

I still can't get my android auto to work which has been really frustrating. I also have no clue what this Easy Connect app is that keeps trying to force a download onto my phone.

Again, thanks for looking into this!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
They are errors cos there are no files to be flashed, so yes to be expected if you havent given it the files to flash.

Yes thats the export function I m talking about, always do it before updating the MCU.

Easy connected it just a app, uninstall it from your head unit if you like should stop it happening.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rubberchickenmob:
The odd thing is that I don't see the "easy connect" app in my app drawer or in my settings>app. it also doesn't come up when I search it in the Google play store app. However when I Google "easy connect" on Chrome in the head unit it states that the app is installed in the Google play store online. When I click into it the Google play store states that it is incompatible with my device.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/fX6ZWvrn8FjY3yjB6

https://photos.app.goo.gl/FuweWBTMQjZgymJQ7

I think this might have something to do with why my Android Auto doesn't work but I don't know why. Prior to replacing my core board Android Auto would just automatically connect through zlink when the USB is plugged in. Prior to this I've never heard of the "easy connect" app but it sounds like it is for mirroring phone screens.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Its been around for a while, are you running a factory ROM, probably best to install a custom one, I think [MENTION=5092263]Hal9k_[/MENTION] does one for this SoM.

Or root your current ROM and remove the app that way.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rubberchickenmob:
I figured it out. I did a factory reset and now android auto is working now.

Easy Connection also works if I turn off carplay and threeway in the factory settings (default password is 126 in case anyone else needs access)

I still need to look into Hal9k and Malaysk as I haven't really had the time to read up or do a comparison yet.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Cool.

A better password is m123456, gives a few more options.

Hi everybody. Is there a way to permanently root PX6 that came with android 9? I just bought my unit. First I tried to use scorillo_ro's from post 143, but something in this method was giving me errors somewhere halfway through it. Then I tried method for PX5 with android 9 from here and it works, but only until HU is rebooted, then I need to manually repeat via adb commands:

win-adb\adb shell ln -s /dev/block/by-name/system /dev/root

win-adb\adb shell mount -o rw,remount /

to get root again. Is there any way around this? Cheers.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] xdamember2:

[MTCD Android Head Units General] xdamember2:
Do you have available another means of connecting? A couple of times I found a particular connection couldn't reach Google, such as home wifi vs. portable hotspot. Another idea is to try play.google.com in the web browser, I think it's about the same as the playstore app. And if you haven't logged into your google account yet, try entering it in Settings->Accounts.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ChessSpider:
Hi guys, my px6 unit now consistently crashes* after about 30-50 minutes of use. It goes in a state it cannot recover from without a full power cycle (take key out of car,wait >30 seconds, power car back on).

Temperature of cpu is 55-75 degrees. I will install fans in a few weeks.

But I'm not convinced its heat-related.

Does anyone else experience these problems, and how did you manage (or try) to fix them?

* Crash: music hangs, screen hangs, screen goes black, music stops. Button presses usually still make sound. Pressing the VOLUME button for 30s 99/100 times does not make the unit reboot

NB; in the first few months i had no crashes whatsoever. Then they started happening more and more often and quicker.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] deaks:
The same happened at me.

The crashes could happen after 15 minutes.

Now I have installed extra fan, replaced the CPU board and the mainboard. Now crashes are much less frequent. Only 1-2 crash happened since the replacement. I hope it will stay stable for a while.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] rubberchickenmob:
When installing an extra fan which power source did you wire to?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ChessSpider:
I purchased two 40mm 24v fans and i will attach it to the 12~14V power cable from the outside. That way they'll both run at half speed, which should be good. There's no point in getting a big fan at the top unfortunately; there is no spare room at the top. Only at the sides and beneath the radio there's actual space for airmovement. Fans should arrive early next week.

I think there may be two causes for crashes: last weekend i took it out the car again and attached it to my PC PSU. I was able to consistently crash it after about 15 minutes of stresstesting with the top cover on. Removing the top cover, which obviously allows the heat to dissipate, did not result in any crash. Even when the CPU temps were ~85 degrees. So it would seem it is some other component which cannot stand the heat. I may have time again this weekend to re-test my assumptions.

This week it hardly crashed; I made sure to only do audio, no gmaps, and this seemed to have helped. However, of course, today it crashed twice after about 20 minutes of use doing only Spotify. The CPU Board was hardly hot at all this time. I am unsure why it crashed this time. The mystery continues.
