From MTCD, to FYT - moving to the dark side :)

I brought two M600 units (fyt = 116 Mekede) received a couple of days ago.

As part of the sale, the reseller sent me 'upgrade' Android 11 files.

These turned out to be nothing less than a prop script, which set build type =11 - switching on fake Android 11.

Initial thoughts.

While I am yet to install in the vehicle's, the devices themselves are much better looking, better/brighter displays and faster than the PX5 MTCD devices I have been hardware developing.

They're also more resilient to messing around with image files and alot easier to recover.

Device configurations and customisations such as volume dependant speed, a real equalizer multiple launchers make for a much better experience so far. Hoping the Audio side is just as good.

Will post back.
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:
they are not just apks there is also lib files. I can upload the files but you will have write an lsec script to install it.via usb.

"Settings/General/Mirror image on reverse image" on or off

Hey guys, I am back again. I seriously hope I can get help again here :)

I just noticed the dashcams I have in both my car are not always recording automatically when the car is started. They only record when the DVR app is launched or running in "picture-in-picture" mode. Thank goodness there has not been an incident yet, so I try and to remember to keep it running in picture-in-picture mode whenever I remember.

What do I need to do to make the camera record automatically without necessarily launching the DVR app?

Thanks

@everyone
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:
Something is very wrong then, have you tried updating the dvr app? could you post a screenshot of the settings page of the dvr app?

Usb dvrs at least, record everything even if app is not active by default once they are set up.

As far as i know the dvr unit controls it, not the heaunit.
[FYT Android Head Units] bdnstn:
Thanks for your reply. I have attached the images of the 2 cameras I use. Both have this problem.

The first 2 pictures are the pages seen in settings.

It is frustrating knowing that if I don't have the app active and running, I won't have any recording.

Hello guys :)

there is any way, to disable ai voice and enable google assistent?
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:
Yes , you must remove the ai voice from the rom, can be done by rooting the device or repackaging Allupdate.bin without ai voice apks and re flashing it.

then google assistant will be your default.

In my car one of the stering button launches google assistant by default.

Delete the following folders from Allupdate.bin/App/

TXZAIPal

TXZOverseaAdapter

TXZSmartWakeUp
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Or remove them with an lsec script.

Yes.

Please search this forum or look on the Mekede website.
[FYT Android Head Units] emzobg:
Ok. found it, should i upgrade or stay with current one ?

No issues at all, but if newer is better.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Your application layer is the newest version. Your kernel is one version behind.

Decide for yourself, but when you ask me I would just leave it as it is and first get some more knowledge about your system.

Hello friend. I just bought my second m300s. Yesterday i try to update it but update process won't start. On my first radio from the same brand and the same modell update starts normaly with the same usb stick.

What goes wrong? Can i force the flash process? I allready try reset button option it nor works shows me only this message ( on the picture)
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Your M300 is not a 7862.

Secondly: post more info. Which firmware did you flash (show a listing)? How did you do it?
[FYT Android Head Units] xdsbx:
It is 7862s 2.0GHz i just want to flash a peaceos notification statusbar.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Sorry, you are right. I thought it was a 9863.

Flashing the systemui should simply work, but you mentioned that you tried to update. The systemui is not an update, but a modifivcation.

So what did you actually do? What did you put on the usb-stick?

If you reset more than 2 times and you let not complete the boot process to full system up & running, you will get that "Chinese English" message that the boot process did not complete correctly for multiple times.
[FYT Android Head Units] xdsbx:
Problem of my headunit is a real android 12. There is no way to update it right now.

Here is the logo for Peugeot,

Unzip it, then copy the contents of the folder into the root of a fat32 formatted drive , plug it in to the device and update.

If you want to flash another logo simply replace the logo.bmp with with another.

The file size is 1920 x 1080 and bmp format.

Trying to sort through a few issues with My M6 Pro Plus 3D and have searched with no result:

My android auto google maps isn't giving me a speed or speed limit like it does on the phone and so I'm looking for something that might function as an overlay speedo using data i can see on the launcher on both android auto and normal mode on the head unit. Is this possible and how?

Is there an app I can use to display info in the menubar and also display recent apps?

Is there a particular app/way to ensure certain things like wifi etc are turned on when the head unit resumes or starts up

I'm really impressed for the most part. Bluetooth mic audio is passable, but not better than what I had before even with external mic off. I do wish the mp3 players dealt better with the 2000x1200 screen for displaying albums etc. Most of these players have text that is big enough, but look ugly. Happy to take a recommendation. Already tried a bunch of the most popular ones PowerAmp, Rocketplayer, Media Monkey, Player Pro. Media Monkey seemed the best for me, but not very refined. Music is well organised, but just the apps are average.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
1. You are using Maps in the PIP window. When maps is running in PIP mode it only shows limited info on the screen. For me the exact reason not to use such a PIP window launcher.

2. "display info"? Be specific. What do you want to see?: Check the PeaceOS SystemUI which shows more info. Recent apps can simply be displayed from the bar.

3. "wifi etc". wifi is turned on and stays on once activated. and "etc": Again be more specific. Do you want a list from us mention 10.000 things that can be turned on?

Edit 1: One solution/workaround: Use "Front app" and make the default app in the PIP window something else then Maps, but keep Maps in the "loop". Start Maps full screen and start your navigation. Then use frontapp to select the next app and put Maps in the PIP window. In that case Maps will still show full screen icons/info. Again: I consider this too much of a hassle and do not use a PIP-window launcher. I simply use Split Screen Launcher to immediately launch Maps and my mediaplayer/navradio in split screen mode. In that case Maps will show all info.
[FYT Android Head Units] Barykelo:
I would like it if occupied USB ports could be seen on the bar.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Currently not possible. Maybe if you programmaticaly modifiy the SystemUI (but I don't think so).
[FYT Android Head Units] RevDog:
1. Thanks, will give this a go. I saw a launcher that rotates the PiP focus so it sounds like that will work.

2. I want to be able to display data like temperature, maybe speed if i can't do it elsewhere. Not sure what else

3. Is there an app to turn system settings on at boot/resume so it is predictable for a car used by multiple people?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
2. Ext temperature->activate in Settings; Temperature, both external and CPU -> PeaceOS SystemUI

3. System Settings -> See thread "General FYT based Spreadtrum uis7862(s) (unisoc ums512) & uis8581a (sc9863) - Q&A, Mods, tips, firmware"

Do some reading first.
[FYT Android Head Units] RevDog:
Yeah, mate. Already done that reading, tried that and couldn't find out how to do it in a way that works. Appreciate your mega post. Appreciate less your attitude...
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
which attitude? I really do not understand what you mean.

Edit: I assume you mean the "joke" about diner in the post to your question, which you did not interpret that way. Should indeed not happen and conversation should stay clean.

But don't mention that in reaction on another post. That is not clear either.
[FYT Android Head Units] Barykelo:
Maybe a stupid question, but they couldn't answer me even in Mekede. How to remove this nonsense?
[FYT Android Head Units] RevDog:
This is in Touch Settings listed under the apps. Can turn off there. I can see a screen shot of a video and so not sure if you're wanting to turn off or there is another issue.

Here you can download a latest firmware for your radio http://www.mekede.com/SoftwareAddress1/
[FYT Android Head Units] Barykelo:
it's not free
[FYT Android Head Units] xdsbx:
You only need to register on nutstore. You have a limit of 3gb download mounthly on it. So you can download any mounth a update for free .
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
It is free.

Accounts on nutstore have a bandwidth quota (3GB) effectively limiting it to 1 download a month.

1 download a month is sufficient for anyone with a single unit. Mekede don't release updates that often.

Simply create a new account(s) with another email address if you reach the quota.
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
Does this new update have anything new?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
What new update?

The firmware linked above is from September.

Theres very rarely anything "new" in any these updates.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Indeed, but the latest (7862-A12-wbt-9-10) is from 28 October (AllappUpdate) with a kernel of 7 November).

At least the time stamps are new ;)

The latest M6Pro3D has a kernel of 5 December. I will have a look at that one this weekend.

Today I installed the new Mekede Plus 3D software, I thought it was cool, but to use the vehicle function on the screen it needs activation, so it's for new radios, I found the applications very fluid.
[FYT Android Head Units] AaronNZ:
Hi All

I'm looking to replace my universal Daisata PX5 based system which has always had crashing issues and is showing it's age, with a new FYT unit from Mekede: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004832937733.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.319338daJ0WFUa&mp=1

I'm looking at the top end unit (M700s), and to be honest would prefer a TEyes model, however it's to go into a 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer, and the TEyes dash trim is horrendous, whereas the Mekede one looks a lot more integrated/stock.

I'm interested in adding the following features:

* External TPMS

* 360 cameras

* 2k screen

* ADAS DVR

Have spent quite a few hours reading the forums here, as well as searching youtube (somewhat fruitlessly apart from the Saab Unleashed channel). I have a few questions which I am having language barrier issues with the seller over:

1) The M6 pro plus (cant find M6 pro plus for my car, only M600 but specs seem the same) has HDMI IN (

) - anybody know if this option is available for the M700s ?

2) Does the 360 camera system come with calibration/alignment mats like the Teyes ones seem to? If not how do you set it up?

3) Any other feedback from M700s owners? This forum has reset my expectations considerably, so if any of the options are not worth it, please let me know.

thanks for your time
[FYT Android Head Units] honda2015:
I would like to chime in with a question about Bluetooth. I am running a MK6 pro android head unit with a 4G Sim card installed, which on its own is able to do both phone calls and use mobile internet.

Now, what I do want to achieve is, making phone calls, solely using the head unit, so without a Bluetooth connection to the phone. I like the idea of a smartphone on wheels to use a metaphor.

Yet that seems to be impossible somehow in my case, since the Bluetooth connection to the phone automatically gets started every time. Trying to make an outbound phone call without bluetooth directly on the head unit triggers an error message “Dialing out is not possible in current state”. Side note: before removing the SIM lock from the SIM card, dialling out was possible, but not mobile internet. Now it's the other way around. Is it possible to disable the phone stepping in and using the head unit only instead?

EDIT

Solution partially found:

You have to install another dialer app, e.g. Google Phone. Now you can make phone calls.

The thing is then only that the SWC button only opens the stock BT dialer.

Moreover, I can't use Google Assistant to dial.
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
Download the Google Phone app.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
The head unit can make calls with another dialer app but the firmware does not support receiving calls.
[FYT Android Head Units] honda2015:
Thanks. Is there a doable workaround for that?

It's a shame that so many functionalities are crippled on purpose.
[FYT Android Head Units] honda2015:
I have noticed that apparently I got a fake version of Android 12, which some apps unveiled as Android 10. Now, the seller claims that external software was inaccurate.

Could you please tell me how to prove them wrong using their own internal software? Where could I find a prove?
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Very simple. Use an app that can show the properties of the unit.

Or if you know how to handle a termianl on your android system, simply do a "getprop > /storage/emulated/0/properties.txt".

Inside that text file you will find the two lines

[ro.build.version.release]: [10]
[ro.build.version.sdk]: [29]

most probably. Then simply link them to the Android SDK platform release notes.

The android release version can easily be faked. And theoretically the sdk as well, but if they do that they get a lot of issues with apps looking for that property as security mechanisms changed heavily on Android 10. Faking another sdk would make many apps malfuncion.

And if they really claim it to ber Android 12 and you purchased it via AliExpress ot Amazon, you can reclaim money from the reseller for fraude.

Edit: Most resellers now deliver with their Firmware a file inside /lsec_updatesh called fyt_build.prop. They flash that after the firmware to your unit to set the fake Android level to 12.
[FYT Android Head Units] honda2015:
Thanks a lot. I used a terminal app and bingo. That's what I got. So they seemed to spoof the build version to 12, but the SDK, as you explained before, is still 29 = Android 10.

[ro.build.version.release]: [12]

[ro.build.version.sdk]: [29]

I will confront the seller on AliExpress (official Mekede store) with this.
[FYT Android Head Units] DrumVlado:
Would anyone happen to have the latest firmware (3d) for the 12.3” L models?

Like this one:

The one on the Mekede website is the old one (Launcher 6 etc).
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Using their lsec method to update ro.build.version.release in FYT.PROP you can enter literally anything you want.

Their current firmware on the support site now updates it to "13"
[FYT Android Head Units] honda2015:
I tried to convince the seller Mekede on AliE to understand that I have noticed a fake version. He doesn't bother to take my findings into account and keeps writing back "Friend, what you see in the system is right". Perhaps I should start to raise a settlement? The only thing available is to file a report.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Yes, you need to do that via aliExpress itself.

Two other users did the same and reported their findings in the forum, but i have no idea anymore.
[FYT Android Head Units] honda2015:
Filing a report on AliExpress worked (somewhat). From 350€ i got 18€ reimbursed by the seller for spoofing the Android version. I had to bargain with him for these bucks…but at least i showedhim that faking specs is not acceptable.
[FYT Android Head Units] marjanoos:
Yes, many users did the same and they still do that. They don't care, most of the buyers won't do anything because they even don't know how to validate that.

Hello.

propably some of you have same problem like me, but i cant find any solution to solve it.

My problem is same like on video (i have mekede m6 pro 3d), i know its video from teyes but i have same problem on mekede.

Here is video:

anybody tried to solve it? its super annyoing...

For me its kinda funny, before i used vivid luncher on px6 and i was more happy with it than now. Music start playing automaticly from spotify, there was no problem with google maps like here.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Known issue.

When you start Maps in a PIP-window, it will act as a PIP-window application.

You first have to bring another app in the PIP-window. Then you have to completely force-close Maps. Then make sure it is NOT in your pip-window, then start Maps full-screen. Then you can switch back to the PIP-window and you can have the full-functional Maps in a PIP-window.

Is already an issue since all the PIP-window launchers from FYT.

Next time simply describe your problem instead of letting us watch a video for minutes.
[FYT Android Head Units] ramrom018:
thank you :) i will try do it.

Has anyone had trouble with data not working?

Like I have full 4G bars but data doesn't work. Sometimes if I enable and then disable Airplane mode it works untill I reboot, messing with APN shows similar results, sometimes it comes back to life but stops working later.

I think it started happening after I did my first firmware update, I just installed 7862-A13-wbt-7-8, but it's still happening.

I thought about changing DNS Servers, but I couldn't find the option.
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
Hello friend, I have the same problem and what happens is that the telephone operator blocks the IMEI of the device, so you are left with no data, I went to the store and changed the chip, it started working again and then it was blocked again, so I gave up and I'm using the Wi-Fi network.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
You simply change the IMEI to that of a smartphone.

The block it because they think it is a tablet of sorts.

I don't know if it's normal behavior, but I don't think so.

I connect my smartphone (Huawei P30) to my Navifly M700S via bluetooth. Of course, the smartphone is recognized, as is its address book.

If I make a phone call through the Hu's built-in app, I can do it, and if I receive a call, I can answer it. Obviously, very normal behavior.

Today I was sitting in the car listening to the radio, using the NavRadio+ app in @KoTiX2. I was actually listening to DAB radio from a link on NavRadio+ to the DAB-Z app. I realized that when I made a call using my smartphone, the call started, the relative icons (those with the red and green handsets) appeared superimposed, but I couldn't hear the interlocutor, while I could hear myself. Is this normal behavior?

[FYT Android Head Units] LocDoc431:
Hey People! I have a lot of questions hopefully you can answer.

I bought an Mekede 7862 (Thats what was written on AliExpress) in 2021. And Carlink wont conect with my Adnroid device (Samsung Galaxy S20 plus) wirelessly. With an normal USB-C it works perfectly fine. Do u have any ideas?

And i didnt update my head unit because i dont know wich to download that would fit for my head unit.

Thanks for the Help :)
[FYT Android Head Units] DrumVlado:
Most units have only wired Android Auto, even though they might have wireless CarPlay.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Your unit supports wireless android, but if your unit is from 2021 and you did not update yet, you need a newer version of Carlink that does support wireless.

So in this case I advise you to first update the carlink apk (see the thread about it) and if that doesn't help, you need to update your entire firmware.
[FYT Android Head Units] ShelbyRacer78:
So I updated the Mekede 500s UIS7862 unit I have to the latest firmware the other day. IIRC the original clock speed on the CPU was 1.8 GHz. After the update is claims its now running at 2.0 GHz. Is it even possible to change the CPU clock speed with just an update or did I figure out a way to unlock the CPU?

[FYT Android Head Units] honda2015:
I guess that's good news for all who like to use Google Assistant on their head units (with internet via SIM card or hotspot):

After some updates of Google apps on the Playstore I accidentally noticed that GA can now for the first time operate outbound phone calls if the Google dialer apps is installed. Before that it used to say I don't know how to make calls.

Once I noticed that I immediately tried out if routines would work now too since they didn't before with text messages or phone calls.

It worked like a charm! I used a Google assistant routine that sends a text message to my wife once I say "I'm on my way back home".

The only feature not working now is voice activation by "hey Google": in the voice activation sensitivity settings it says this device wasn't supported.

Any ideas?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Using Google Assistant to initiate calls via the Google dialer app has always worked for me.

I just needed to uninstall any preinstalled voice software (toppal).

I've never tried sending/receiving SMS with it but I expect it would work with the Google messages app.

Never tried but I have a voice assistant button on my steering wheel so I've had no need to try.

I'll give it a try.
