Schönen Tag,

Ich habe ein ähnliches Problem mit TomTom. Die Durchsage ist nur über den Systemkanal verständlich, aber nur sehr leise, eine Änderung des Verhältnisses von Allgemeinlautstärke und Lautstärke des Navigationssystems ist nicht möglich. kennst du die Lösung

Gruß Michael

Mod translation:

Have a nice day,

I have a similar problem with TomTom. The announcement is only understandable through the system channel, but only very quiet, changing the ratio of general volume and volume of the navigation system is not possible. do you know the solution

greetings Michael

English please. This is an English forum. Please read the sticky topics from the moderators.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
Good morning and congratulations for the topic. Sorry if I write badly in English, but I use the translator (I'm in Italy). My compliments to @surfer63 for his patience for waiting to receive the radio, and especially for the work he did without having his radio in his hands. Chapeau

I decided to buy a Navifly M700S for my 2012 Peugeot 308. Here is the link:

€ 93,62 44%di SCONTO | Unità principale GPS per lettore Video Stereo per autoradio Navifly per PEUGEOT 308 308S 408 2010 - 2016 con 8GB 128GB 1280*720 IPS carplay DSP

M700S for Peugeot 308 of 2012

From the same shop i would also take to have voice commands:

€ 18,30 | Software di controllo vocale NaviFly 7862

Voice Control Sofware Navifly

The seller replied that their version is the Basic one. I read in this topic that there are three versions: Basic, Standard and Premium. Other brands give the possibility to choose between the 3 versions, but the seller where I will get the M700S no (the store is: Navifly car-life store), he only provides the Basic version. Looking for other brands, theirs voice control sofware allows to choose between the 3 versions, but apparently they only give it to those who buy the radio from them.

So I am forced to take the voice control software where I buy the radio and unfortunately I find the one suitable for my machine only there.

So I wanted to ask you what is the difference between the Basic and Premium versions. And if someone knows a way to be able to have all the options that the Basic version does not allow to have.
[FYT Android Head Units] daviddosa:
This might not be an answer to your question, just an insight.

The Voice Assistant that Mekede offers for their units are not great. Very basic, very limited.

When I got my unit a couple weeks ago, I was tempted to buy the software, but reading into the matter, it was better not to waste my money.

I tried to activate the stock Google Assistant with various ways, but didn't work out.

What I decided is to use Android Auto only. I have it start when I start the car, it connects to my phone wirelessly and automatically in about 5-10 seconds after starting, and the Google Assistant is listening and working flawlessly while using it.

You can also set up your head-unit in your Peugeot to change apps with a button press in case you want to listen to radio, or switch to a different app.

Just like the Voice Assistant software, the premium CANBUS decoder is also a "waste" of money. The price doesn't justify the minor improvements over the included decoder.

TLDR: don't buy the extra voice assistant or CANBUS decoder. They're not worth the money. Just use Android Auto (or Apple CarPlay) to have the assistant.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
Oops, I forgot to specify that I wanted to buy Navifly's voice control software and not Mekede's; but it's the same thing.

I had already read some negative impressions from users of this is another Italian forum. You have convinced me and I thank you for your considerations

I don't know Android Auto, but when the M700S arrives I'll try it

I don't need the canbus decoder to use it this way. I need it to be able to have some information related to the machine, including the one concerning the air conditioning. I was decided to buy the other Cambus el decoder at the same time as the purchase of the radio, but at this point, I prefer to wait for the radio to arrive and if the one supplied with the radio does not work I will buy it separately

@daviddosa Thank you for your suggestions, you have been precious to me
[FYT Android Head Units] daviddosa:
If you use Google Maps then you'll like Android Auto. It's basically Google Maps, modified to fit on a bigger screen with some additional functionality. You get phone integration with it. You have full access to Google Assistant if you use Android Auto, just like you have on your phone.

The canbus decoder is needed to retain steering wheel controls and to interact with the other display in the car (if you have one). For the digital aircon controls, you'll need the upgraded decoder as far as I know, but you should definitely try it with the included one.

Glad I could be of help.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
You intrigued me with AA. I will try it, when I have the radio I will definitely ask for help because I do not even know how to start it 🤣

I will wait for the radio to arrive to see if the canbus included in the package works as I want

Can anyone tell me something about the optional accessory for the Dab radio? Does it work or does it cause problems?

Today I finally made my order for the Navifly M700S but I did not take the Qled screen because it is only available in China and I do not want to pay customs fees. I took it with UPS shipping from Poland and the arrival date is scheduled for August 2nd. I will keep you updated
[FYT Android Head Units] daviddosa:
I live in the UK and when I bought it, I selected to pay in dollars as the price in dollars was noticeably better than in pounds. I didn't have to pay any taxes or custom fees either.

The package will still come from China, but it gets sent to Poland first, then from Poland to your location.

About the QLED screen. I highly doubt that it's actually QLED. It's still fairly expensive tech for a product of this price, so you made the right decision not paying extra for it, in my opinion.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
When I contacted Navifly, they told me that the M700S was available in the store in Poland.

In addition to the fact that I had to order both the screen and the. M700S from China with the shipment that cost over € 60, and also that I did not want to risk having to pay customs fees on receipt, I also came to doubt that it was really a Qled. In fact only € 12 seem to me too little price hahaha.

Now I just hope that the canbus interface is compatible with my 308 1st series. In the video I followed about my car we talk about a type of canbus, but I'm afraid that the canbus that is supplied to the M700S that I will receive is different. Otherwise I will have to buy the same one that is described in the video
[FYT Android Head Units] Gscipione:
Hello if you need help I have a m700s of Navifly and I am Italian so I can help you
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
But is it FYT 116 or something else, they differ....
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
Hello, thank you for your kindness and availability. Surely I will need you both for the installation of the M700S in the car (who did the tutorial on youtube does not respond quickly) and for the setting of some parameters of the radio because I am not familiar with this type of device.

I read the whole topic and I realized that you were quite present. Your nickname had made me suspect that you was Italian. We are probably homonyms 👍.

Now patiently, but not too much I will wait for my order to arrive 😇, hoping that I do not have to wait as surfer63, fingers crossed.

By the way, the shipment I chose was the one with UPS from Poland at the price of € 10.31, someone had experience with this type of shipping? Is there a risk of delays?
[FYT Android Head Units] Gscipione:
No different 53 fyt
[FYT Android Head Units] Gscipione:
My order came from Poland and arrive in 7 days to my house in Rome. My car is different of your because is a Ford focus 2014 but the machine is the same. If your car had a gps you can buy from Amazon a fakra C to gps adapter cost 9€. So you use the gps of your car. I had a big improvement
[FYT Android Head Units] Lacki12:
i was thinking of updating the naviflay 7862c, with the latest official firmware, if i solve with nexay voice, only i have this problem?
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
My M700S should arrive in Caltanissetta on August 3rd

Unfortunately my Peugeot 308 is from 2012, it only has the radio as standard, without GPS. I will take advantage of the GPS antenna that came with the radio.

Unfortunately I realized only today that the camera I ordered for reversing, is not suitable for my car because it would bother the handle to appear the luggage rack. I have a SW. I'm looking at the cameras inserted in the license plate holder. They would do for me.

I'm sorry but I can't help you, I don't have the radio yet, I'm waiting for it.

I do not remember which user and in which forum (I read a lot of posts in this period), he said that with Android Auto he had no problems and that he was better than NexAi. In fact, I also wanted to buy the Premium version, but I gave up.
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
hello my friend I paid to come with the Qled screen and I assure you that it is 100 Qled ok.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
It is good news for those who will be interested, thanks for the clarification my friend, but with the doubt of having to pay additional expenses upon receipt, it is also for the excessive shipping price with DHL, I preferred to let it go and stay with the IPS screen.

Hello, I tried to update the Mekede M700s radio and it does not proceed with the update process, it only arrives at this screen and restarts!! Has anyone tried the update?

And the same result for FYTBACKUP!
[FYT Android Head Units] OG_Seat:
Hello everyone. Does anyone think 3gb ram is enough for the 7862 MEKEDE unit?

If i think about an android smartphone with 3gb, it is too slow. is it gonna be as laggy as 3gb smartphone?
[FYT Android Head Units] Gscipione:
yes I update without problem a navifly m700s. did you download from Mekede site the update?
[FYT Android Head Units] Gscipione:
i had an 2gb and was terrible unit. i suggest you 4 gb or more
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
Friend can give me the procedure you used, and I downloaded the update directly from the mekede website!
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
and about this activation what would it be?
[FYT Android Head Units] OG_Seat:
in your opinion, 4 gb of ram is like the bare minimum, or it will run fine with regular use?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
4GB is fine. You don't need the 6GB.
[FYT Android Head Units] Gscipione:
I pass from 2gb and now I have 8gb. 4gb is fine but maybe in the next few years could me too small.
[FYT Android Head Units] Gscipione:
I simply put the update in a usb pen of 8gb formatted in fat32 and then put the usb pen in the radio and reboot it. After the reboot I press ok when the radio found the update.

Took 10 minutes for the update. Very simple.

I think that your problem is that you have same problem in the file that you put on the pen. Re download the file and retry with a new pen drive
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
I'm using a 32 pen drive, does it have something to do with it, and what's new with this update?
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
what USB port do you use?

I'm using a 32 pen drive, does it have something to do with it, and what's new with this update?
[FYT Android Head Units] Gscipione:
i use usb 1. No problem for 32gb of pen but i suggest to change it or format here and put only the update. For the change many little and big change. Now radio is going very well. The only problem is that Mcu is not possible to update. Its is from 2021 mcu. The rest is of 2022 June
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
MCU update is not a "problem". What issue are you wanting solved by MCU update
[FYT Android Head Units] Gscipione:
Maybe is not a "problem". But they could improve the mcu for a better radio. I known that is more simple to solve a problem tthan improve a machine. I see other companies that deals with headunit that update mcu every few months. Mekede is stuck in 2021
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
That doesn't mean anything. If it is good and does what it needs to do, you don't need to change that often.

If you as company have to update your MCU firmware so often, you are obviously making very buggy MCU firmwares.

And if you don't make very buggy MCU firmwares, you have serious design flaws in your MCU design causing you to have to update it again and again if "something" in your Android firmware changes.

Finally: Are those companies updating the MCU, or updating the HAL talking to Android automotive in those Android units, which gets updated and improved by Google relatively often?

And of course I am not saying that the FYT MCU firmware is bug free, but it has already been reverse engineered twice and it showed that it is really very straightforward talking to the hardware. So indeed: the FYT MCU does not have to be updated so often.

The FYT Android firmware is pretty buggy and needs to be fixed and patched if Google changes something, and those Chinese programmers do not want to follow modern programming and Android designs, because that would open up (to some extend) their closed firmware.
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Apparently no comprehension of what the MCU is and does. It is not Android.
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
Can someone help me and tell me why the update doesn't work!
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
Give me a message in red so I can get an update after 07/02/2022
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
This morning I mounted the Navifly M700S on my Peugeot 308 SW of 2012. After the first adjustments I can say that I really like this device.

The steering wheel controls work with the PSA-RZ-01 canbus, except for a few things. Precisely:

- my steering wheel controls have a wheel to select radio stations or songs, but it only works in one direction.

- If I press both volume keys at the same time this gesture does not reduce the volume to zero.

Open doors are regularly indicated.

- When I enter the reverse gear on the left of the screen there is drawn the car with the front and rear sensors (I do not have the front ones and the rear ones of the series but I have only the rear aftermarket ones) so obviously I have no visual and / or acoustic signal. On the central part of the screen we can see drawn the classic reversing radar that also moves in correspondence with the direction of the steering wheel, it's cool. I don't have a rear camera installed yet so we can't see anything, but the volume of the music dims.

Unfortunately the air conditioning is not displayed on the screen.

I am well aware that all this depends on the canbus, the one supplied with the radio (remember that I took the one suitable for the Peugeot 308 in fact the upper mask with the buttons for the 308 is included) is a Raise PSA RZ 01. As suggested by the description of the radio, for the 308 I should buy the appropriate canbus that is the one suitable for the 408 but spending another € 31 bothers me a bit. Plus besides air conditioning, what else would I have?

@surfer63 among the options I found the one that allows you to update the canbus? Do you know by chance where I can download it from? Should I try to update the canbus?

@Frenz75 which canbus do have you?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Sorry but I don't know what you mean with galley.

Do you mean gallery? In that case I have no idea.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
Excuse me @surfer63 🤣 , I wrote wrong and the translator did the rest 😢 , sorry again. Replace galley with canbus.

_____________

Correction :

I corrected the previous post
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
No, I don't. In previous units FYT (or the resellers) sometimes released a new CANbus apk supporting more function is cars, or expanding the the number of supported cars.

I also know that both @gordgelin and ... from 4pda have released Canbus. apk's where I assume they extracted them from other firmwares. But I don't know for sure.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
Thank you all the same. If I were to find the right canbus for my 308, do you know what more I would get besides having the correct steering wheel controls and air conditioning? That is, is it worth spending another 31 € more in your opinion? Meanwhile, I wrote to the seller
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
You mention the CANbus controller, being the hardware. I mentioned the CANbus apk. I could be totally wrong although I do know that both mentioned persons did release Canbus apk's.

I would ask the seller to explain very detailed what you will get extra compared to your current canbus. And ask Mekede if the FYT software supports the extra functionality of the controller.

And then you yourself need to decide if that is worth the money. I am not going to do that for you ;)
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
Yes, reading quickly I did not realize that you were talking about the canbus apk

I have already written to the seller, as written in the post above, asking if this canbus is specific to 308 since the M700S I bought is and has the right frame. When he answers me I will ask him other questions like the one you suggested. I do not want to do unintentional spam, I have already been banned for a few days from the Aliexpress chat I suppose because I wrote too many consecutive messages and too long.

Oops, I thought you would also pay for it for me 🤭
[FYT Android Head Units] mastrv:
@Specy01 I would avoid updating the Canbus unless you are very certain it will fix your issues. You may have more issues after updating with no way of going back.

As for the A/C information, in the settings there may be an option to display/hide AC information. I believe it's under original car agreement...at least that's what it's called on other head units.

As for the sensors, there may also be an option to disable the display of those, if you prefer that.

For the steering wheel controls, do you know if your buttons are resistive? I have a 2012 Kia Sorento and very little goes through Canbus and the steering controls are resistive. This allows them to be programmed through the head unit. If the buttons are resistive, you can connect the steering wheel controls to the head unit instead of the Canbus and program them. You may need your car schematics to determine this.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
In fact I'm not sure if I would fix it by updating the canbus, on the other hand I don't even know where to look for the update.

In the setting I have already set "on" the option to show the air conditioning, if I set it to "off" nothing new happens. I don't know if maybe there is another option to set, but it doesn't seem to me.

Maybe I explained myself wrong, I like that you see the design of the car with the sensors, but I wanted to know if it is possible to connect my aftermarket rear parking sensors with the M700S.

I don't have to tell you if my steering wheel controls are resistive. I don't remember reading anything in the user manual of the machine. Where could I get this information from? If I am resistive I have to disconnect the canbus and make connections. I remember reading something about it but I don't remember where. I've read a lot here and elsewhere but haven't taken notes
[FYT Android Head Units] Tweak-NL:
Hello everyone, i hope this is the correct place to ask something about a Medeke radio.

Some time ago a dutch seller allowed me to try this radio: DZ7Y-M200S

I was really happy with the cpu/memory (very fast radio compared to my 1gb android unit)

But it had 2 problems, it was rebooting sometimes when i started the car. And wifi drops so i returned the radio.

And now the big problem because i ordered a DZ8-M300S from Alie and this unit has the same wifi problems as the DZ7Y-M200S. My old android radio had no problems.

On my phone (Motorola Moto G Pro) i have macrodroid running. So when my phone connects to the radio (bluetooth) macrodroid enables the hotspot. And on disconnect it will turn it off. This works fine on my old radio.

Now with the DZ7Y-M200S and the DZ8-M300S the connection random drops. Sometimes it wont even connect and the hotspot is not listed. I use internet radio so this is very annoying.. The dutch seller thougt maybe it has something to do because of the android auto app. But tried to disable the app on both devices and nope.

Maybe it is because this radio has 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ? I hope someone can help me with this issue.

For now i changed on my hotspot to only listen on 5GHZ not sure if this helps.
[FYT Android Head Units] hzn942:
Have you figured out how to switch to dark mode(system wise) with the headlights? Im facing the same problem.
[FYT Android Head Units] ziddey:
Never bothered. I just set the headunit to dark mode. I suppose you could use tasker or similar to have headlights trigger it.

As far as HUR/AA, I don't use it much anymore.
[FYT Android Head Units] hzn942:
Thanks for the quick reply, which property do you use to change the head unit to dark mode? I did some search that suggests using adb but I cannot really get adb to work with my HU.
[FYT Android Head Units] ziddey:
Can't remember; it's been a while. Try termux. Maybe something like

settings put secure ui_night_mode 2
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Those stupid FYT devices create a new random MAC on every network connection. That means that your hotspot will (have to) create a new ip-addres on every connect. Phone hotspots are mostly very limited in the amount of ip-addresses they can hand out (10? 15?). In such a case you can even ran out of ip-addresses on your hotspot, which means the unit can't connect aymore. Normally this should not even be a problem, but maybe you have trying and experiencing a lot within 24 hours.

Secondly: the ip-stack is quite unstable on those FYTs. Some units more than other. Only a reboot helps in that case.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
Sorry @surfer63 , does that mean one has to save on hotspot connections? That is, I have to be careful how many times I connect my P30 to the M700S to be able to surf the web with the Navifly?

I give my internet to Navifly from my P30. If I use the 2.4GHz band I can do it but at 5GHz absolutely not. How come
[FYT Android Head Units] daviddosa:
I believe having randomized MAC came with Android 10 as default. It's an option within the WiFi settings, and can be turned off so the headunit will use it's actual MAC rather than a randomly generated fake one.

I didn't know that phone hotspots have limited number of addresses they can allocate to devices, but probably a restart on both ends would solve the problem.

Since I'm here, I'm putting a question as well. I'm using my device mainly for Android Auto. I have it start automatically when I turn the ignition on, and it connects in a couple of seconds.

Android Auto does have internet access, so all my music apps within Android Auto, but the headunit itself does not. I know that there's a way to tether internet from the phone through bluetooth to another device, but with the headunit it doesn't seem to work.

Is this possible to do on this headunit?
