I don't know how to replace the nex voice assistant with Google voice, I would also like to know how to do this. I have setup a button on the home screen to trigger Google voice assistant for now.

I don't have steering wheel buttons so haven't tried, but it looks like there is a mapping tool for the steering wheel so maybe possible?

Pretty sure you can add navradio as an app, what do you mean by default radio app? If you are referring to the launcher home screen widgets I would also like to know if it is possible to change those. There doesn't seem to be a way to configure this.

Sorry, I am a bit of a noob at all this.
[FYT Android Head Units] zobi123:
Ah, how did you setup that google voice button?

The only widget you can change is the main one where you can display maps or anything else that you want.

The time, and music widgets can't be changed unfortunately.

I mapped a steering wheel button to launch the radio app but it launches the built-in app which isn't that good.

I was hoping to change the default radio app.
[FYT Android Head Units] nadsmaks:
I chose a different launcher in the latest firmware that allows 6 buttons to be mapped to apps of your choice. Then I just mapped the google voice app to one of the buttons.

Can you map the steering wheel button to open an app?
[FYT Android Head Units] zobi123:
I think so, I mapped one button to open the radio but I want to make it so that it launches a specific app of my liking. I gotta play around with it more.

[FYT Android Head Units] nadsmaks:
FYI: It appears that the way the GPS antenna cable for this unit is coiled has a significant effect on the quality of the GPS lock.

If the cable is tightly looped the GPS signal was very poor.
[FYT Android Head Units] zobi123:
Mine is fully untangled and mounted nicely inside the dash; the signal is really good! No issues at all.

Has anyone else had a problem with installed apps not getting access to file system even when the Android app permissions allow it?

I have installed DS Audio app that allows music to be downloaded from my NAS and it is saying it doesn't have access to files.

Similar problem with Torque app.

I have checked both apps in settings and it says the file permissions are allowed.

Sorry if I am asking about a known item, couldn't find it with I searched for it.
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
I think you might need the DocumentsUI apk.......search for it in these threads and read up to confirm that it will fix your issue.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
See "General FYT based Spreadtrum uis7862 (unisoc ums512) - Q&A, Mods, tips, firmware", bottom of post #1. Download and install the DcoumentsUI
[FYT Android Head Units] nadsmaks:
Downloading DocumentsUI and installing has fixed the permissions issue.

Thanks heaps @louforgiveno & @surfer63 your depth of knowledge is awesome and so helpful for a noob like me.
[FYT Android Head Units] Dudgeware:
Hi all, just want to say thanks because if it wasn't for this forum & thread I would have ordered my M6Pro+ without the HDMI input option, which is why I wanted the unit. I hadn't noticed it was an option & not included as standard, so I would have been stuffed...

I've had my unit a few days and have hit my first snag...

When I first had the unit, the HDMI input was working fine. I had to factory reset the unit at one point, and since then I no longer have the HDMI input option in the apps. I've been messaging them at the rate of one response per day, and they don't seem to understand what I'm talking about, they keep responding about HDMI output instead of the input. All I need is the software that allows me to access the HDMI port that is already soldered onto the board. I don't suppose anyone here would have the APK for this?
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
Sorry, i don't have this unit. But maybe some ideas.....is the unit installed in car ? Is an active HDMI device connected? To the 2nd question, I noticed no front cam app on my unit....(came w/only rear cam), however after ordering and installing suddenly the app was there....so maybe you need to run a signal in so it realizes there is a connection.

1st question basically the same idea, are all connections intended made?
[FYT Android Head Units] Dudgeware:
Yes, it's installed in the car. I've tried connecting a HDMI device & no, it doesn't install automatically. I've also scanned the internal storage for apk's in case it had been copied over, but nothing. The DVR does have the APK installed on it's own internal storage, but there's nothing for the HDMI.
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
Ok, unfortunately I'm still very new to these units, but i have a feeling it will be a simple solution to some of the FYT unit O.G's around these parts....hold tight, I'm sure someone will chime in with your fix
[FYT Android Head Units] Dudgeware:
That's what I'm hoping :) Thanks for your input
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
Hi did you enable HDMI in settings/factory settings? (code: 3368) It might be that bc of the reset it is on off. If its on off its highly possible thats the reason for missing the icon (after enableing it the HU needs a reboot just to be sure). I had similar expirience with the forn cam app icon which only appeared after activating it in the factory menu.
[FYT Android Head Units] Dudgeware:
I've been through the factory settings a dozen times and haven't seen anything there to enable the HDMI. I'll got to go out in a bit so I'll have another check and report back as soon as I can...
[FYT Android Head Units] Dudgeware:
I've been through every setting on the system and cannot find anything related to the HDMI. I'm sure this would be a simple fix for Mekede, but they don't seem to understand what I'm asking of them and it's so frustrating communicating at a rate of one message a day, especially when they ignore everything you say. They seem to have clicked that I'm talking about the input, not the output, but have repeatedly said "we sent the chip, can't you solder it to the board" while ignoring that I've told them the chip is already on the board, it's the software I need.
[FYT Android Head Units] VooXoo:
Hello, my father installed a M6Pro on his car, I wanted to know if there was a site where to downlaod software updates and stuff

I browsed this thread and found a chinese one, but it requires to make a ccount to download the files, any alternative?

Thanks.
[FYT Android Head Units] thuutien:
WHY DO YOU NEED TO UPDATE?
[FYT Android Head Units] KIndustries:
Hi all Iv been running this unit but with the 360 setup instead of the HDMI In and its been running withouth issue for the most part since being given new firmware.

I was wondering if anyone on here has managed to figure out how to un-cripple the Bluetooth? I set sys.fyt.bluetooth_type to 0 but that didn't really make a difference, in fact it just made it so my phone wouldn't connect. I'm wondering if its a different numerical value on this unit.

Also anyone else notice they changed over the voice assistant from Nexia to Toppal?
[FYT Android Head Units] Dudgeware:
Not that I know of. I've been looking for the software to access the HDMI input but can't find it anywhere, and in my search I've only come across Mekede's own site for other updates.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
It might be a different value as I believe your unit comes pre set with a 7 instead of the 1 on the M300s-M600s.

Try different values between 0-9.

You only need to flash a config.txt and an lsecupdate file, no need to flash anything else. You can cycle through them quickly.

Install a Bluetooth app on your phone that detects the mac address used by the head unit.
[FYT Android Head Units] VooXoo:
The headset runs fine, but from what I could see the OS was installed in 2022, just wanted to update for bug fixes and new features in case the manufacturer made something.
[FYT Android Head Units] KIndustries:
Just gave this a shot but no dice. Values of 0, 7 and 9 seem to allow devices to be discoverable but they all behave differently.

When I put in 0 and scan for devices it displays everything in the area with the proper names but wont connect to anything not even my phone.

7 is the default that allows me to connect to my phone but nothing else so far other then an ELM327. (Trying to get my BlueDriver OBD2 to work)

9 also shows devices when scanning however everything is displayed as noname. It will also not allow me to connect to anything.

I didn't go past 9 but is it possible that the values go higher then that? Or perhaps its a different setting that also needs to be altered on this unit.

Pretty frustrating that they cripple these units like this to try and force-feed there addons.
[FYT Android Head Units] Matt Devo:
has anyone figured out an optimal DPI setting to mitigate some of the weird UI scaling issues?
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
Hi what type of ELM327 can you connect via BT with default settings to the headunit?
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:
Pulling my Hair!!! (whats left of it):)

HI guys , i came across a very frustrating issue while testing my one week old M6 pro 2K 8+128Gb.

The unit defaults its time and date to 01-02-2023 03:11 every time i REBOOT regardless of time settings set, being manual set or "network provided time"

The only way the unit gives me the right time is when connected to the internet and set to "network provided time"

i also notice that a couple of times when the clock is set manually the unit rebooted with the right time but gets changed straight away to the above time and date.

Does anyone has this issue?

unit has been factory reset several times.

wiring is correct, and confirmed by my old px5 unit .
[FYT Android Head Units] Dudgeware:
You're not alone, I've noticed mine does this occasionally too, though mine goes back to the correct time & date within a minute or so without internet connection so it's not really bothered me. It doesn't seem to update until all startup apps are loaded, which in my case is the DVR, TPMS, and Waze . It is connected to my phone through bluetooth though, and Waze plays up rotten, sometimes not loading correctly, sometimes not logged in, it can hang the system at times until I kill the app. Sometimes, my unit seems to go through the full boot process as though it was completely shut down, it shouldn't do that because the wiring for the permanent 12v & ignition 12v is correct.

As for the wiring being correct, there is also a menu setting that swaps the +12v constant & the +12v ignition. Mine was on when it came out the box, but off after a factory reset. Worth checking...
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
This is due to to the fact that the unit does not have a backup battery, and obviously the FYT developers/builders do not know how to use the constant 12V.

So yes, indeed: every time the unit boots it gets back "some date" that doesn't make sense. Is it the date/time the MCU firmware was flashed to the MCU?

The time is correct after:

- connection via GPS

- connection via Bluetooth to a phone

- connection to the internet (and there it by default connects to some Chine dns-servers. If these are swapped by google dns-servers, it also is faster to get the correct date/time)

Mekede M6Pro Plus

I managed to solve my problem by passing the correct latest software..
[FYT Android Head Units] Dudgeware:
I've not messed with the firmware on mine, but what apps have you lost?
[FYT Android Head Units] arca114@gmail.com:
Hello friend, I managed to solve it, I downloaded the correct software.
[FYT Android Head Units] faria:
Thanks @surfer63 ,

that's bad if indeed is the case! i have an ASUS router with no hardware clock so i know how bad things can get.

This can somehow be mitigate by installing a fake hardware clock into the firmware, my plan its to build my own rom for it and take care of such things but its been years since i cooked a rom and there is a lot of catchup to do.

I will check the firmware,mcu compilations dates to see if anything matches.

[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Do you mean your own apk, or your own rom?

And with own ROM: a modded rom or custom rom?

These units come without source code and have a lot of closed source hardware drivers and modified code.

According to GPL for Android, modified code means that it has to be shared when asked for. That does not work either in China.

So nobody in the past 8 years was really able to build a real custom rom.

But surprise us :) Please :)

I bought the first one I found on amazon when searching for mini bluetooth elm327 made by obdator. Its essentially the same thing they tried to get me to purchase to solve my problem of being unable to connect my BlueDriver.
[FYT Android Head Units] phibes9000:
I find that there is a slight constant hiss/static on mine, regardless of the volume level it's constant. Has anyone experienced this? Grounding?

Is it possible to connect to an iPhone (carlink) over USB or just bluetooth? I have tried multiple settings.

Hi all,

Just ordered the M6Pro Plus 8G 256G, looking for a pdf of the user manual, their website has a bunch on videos but i prefer and full manual in pdf. Anyone got a link? also are there any firmware/software updates for the unit?
[FYT Android Head Units] Catalunya69:
Hello, I'm hoping you can help me as I've only been in the world of car multimedia radios for a couple of weeks. I wanted to purchase a device for my van, and I'm torn between the Teyes CC3 and this model. The seller from MEKEDES told me that it's not compatible with my vehicle (Fiat Ducato III). I asked them if it's because of the frame or if it doesn't integrate with the vehicle controls, but I haven't received a response yet. (Edit: The response has been: CANbus and cable are not compatible. )

However, I thought that maybe you could answer this question for me. Could the MEKEDES device work if I find a compatible frame for it? Or is it more complicated than that? Teyes CC3 advertises that it is available for my vehicle and also sells a custom frame.

It crossed my mind to buy the frame from Teyes and the M6Pro Plus from MEKEDES, or am I crazy? Haha.

Another idea I had is to buy the Teyes CC3 and flash it with the firmware/software from MEKEDES. I've read old threads where they say that deep down it's the same unit and there's no problem, but now Teyes has become more restrictive.

Thank you very much, everyone.
[FYT Android Head Units] marjanoos:
It should work. Both Teyes and Mekede are generally the same platform (FYT), so more or less those are the same devices.
[FYT Android Head Units] johnnybeacon:
Here is a pretty good review of the Mekede M6 Pro Plus
[FYT Android Head Units] nickytheshaft:
I have seen a few of his reviews but still have questions.

Boot up time for example, he always shows hot boots saying that the unit boots up fast, never cold boots. Also he never posts sound samples of the phone calls.
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
Hi did someone install this on a Mekede M6Pro Plus with HDMI but without 360 camera? I have HDMI and 360 and would like to keep HDMI. With theese units its either HDMI or 360 camera support
[FYT Android Head Units] marjanoos:
Yeah, he always says how AMAZING those devices are. He doesn’t say anything about flaws.
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
I've got a 2gb model and cold boot is about 20-30 seconds. Not horrible imo. I think it's about the same with all the units regardless of specs.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Cold boot will still take 20-30 seconds. The CPU might be slightly faster and the memory, but the storage is still "slow"EMMC instead of UFS.

phone calls are still bad. You have read the posts above and other posts in the forum (You did read them, didn't you?)
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
That's partly because companies send him samples for free.

If he criticizes the head unit too much then they won't send any more samples.

Positive reviews = free stuff

A lot of smaller YouTubers who do reviews make a lot of their income from selling goods after reviewing them

I treat those more like sponsored videos than reviews.

I prefer to go with the opinion of someone who has spent their own money on a product.
[FYT Android Head Units] johnnybeacon:
when mine arrives and i complete the install ill report back with a fair and balanced review. My main concern is whats the audio quality from the deck to speakers.. i will be running a 5channel amp, good splits and a sub down the road, but initally will be this headunit with oem speakers no amp, then amp+splits, then a sub down last.

cant see that little onboard amp being very powerful or sounding to good..
[FYT Android Head Units] nickytheshaft:
Yes it is what I had with my ebilaen unit, not a deal breaker but people should know
[FYT Android Head Units] nickytheshaft:
Yes I have read all the thread. I am always hoping to get a unit with good call quality. It is a pity that these Chinese manufacturers don't fixe this. It is the only thing keeping me away from these units as the reste of their functionalities are juste Great.
[FYT Android Head Units] nickytheshaft:
Agreed
[FYT Android Head Units] nickytheshaft:
You would be surprised. When I had my unit, the sound war really good. Better than my mib1 Skoda unit.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Unlike the older models, the M6Pro has a setting to disable the internal microphone. If you connect an external mic it will be much better.
[FYT Android Head Units] nickytheshaft:
On my previous unit I unsoldered the internal mic. I then used a powered noise canceling external microphone. The result was not too bad for city driving but had its limits ar highway speeds. There is room for improvement and if only they took care of this issue, I am sure they would more than double the Sales
[FYT Android Head Units] ProSlam:
Hi, please could you tell me what do you mean by saying "fake android 12" ? I'm not a specialist, but I saw tons of Android 12 ans 13 headunits on Aliexpress, they are all "fake" ??
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
They are android 10 with modified "build.prop" to say android 11, 12 or 13..
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
If they contain the uis7862 SoC then yes, they are fake.

Aliexpress is full of them.

Mekede label their older models like the M400-600S as Android 11 and their newer M6 Pro models as Android 12. Both are Android 10.
[FYT Android Head Units] rafc02:
It has a TDA7850 amp which is regarded as a decent built-in amp. It won't be as good as an external amp or high-end head unit, but comparable to mid-tier headunit. And definitely better than most stock radios.
[FYT Android Head Units] ProSlam:
Ok thanks for your response but why they do that, it is impossible to find a headunit with real Android 11, 12 or 13 ?
[FYT Android Head Units] johnnybeacon:
what they are trying to say albeit badly is andriod 12 apps and playstore are compatible with that unit, which i believe is technically correct, but the installed os ver is 10 not 12.
[FYT Android Head Units] johnnybeacon:
wh

once i have mine and installed, ill report back, also i cant find anywhere a manual to see what the voltage of the rca out channels are.. my pioneer had like 6volt rca output, be interesting to see what this unit has.
[FYT Android Head Units] cbd dvd:
Mekede M6Pro Plus is a Mekede M700s with 2000*1200 screen?

I buy in Mekede official store of AliExpress a M700s with that screen and looks exactly like M6Pro Plus.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
No.

The M700S has a 7862 SoC (1.8Ghz), Bluetooth 5.0 and no external mic jack on the rear. External mic can be used but you can't disable the internal mic with a software switch.

The M6 Pro range has the newer 7862S SoC (2.0Ghz), Bluetooth 5.1 and a dedicated mic jack with the ability to disable the internal mic.

The difference between the M6 Pro and the M6 Pro Plus is the higher resolution screen.

The higher resolution screen could also be added to the older range.
[FYT Android Head Units] cbd dvd:
So it always affects the sound quality despite putting an external microphone?

For 100 dollars of difference between the two it seems that they are small differences only.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
It will effect the quality a little yes.

Some people open their heat units and cut off the internal mic.

Mine sounds fine with the internal mic connected, but I drive a right hand drive car so the mic is on the opposite side to me.
[FYT Android Head Units] cbd dvd:
No problem to desolder the mic, if that solution works, great!

Thanks for all your replies.
[FYT Android Head Units] oly51:
I've been going back and forth with Mekede support for almost 2 months now with an internet connectivity issue. My SIM card is recognized and 4G with 5 bars shows in the upper right. When I try to log on to Google, It does not connect. Support keeps asking me to try the same "Fixes" over and over and they also sent me a firmware update.

I did a factory reset today, pulled the SIM out, and tried a WI-FI connection. Same results.

Any ideas?
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
Wait...so you're not able to get active data even connected to wifi?

I would inspect the 4g/wifi antenna connection to back of head unit. 1st check if it's fully twisted on, if it already is then unscrew it all the way off and check that the center gold pin is straight and didn't get pushed aside when initially installed.....

If that's not an issue then check the placement of where the antenna itself is located. Try to move away from metal obstructions/relocate it and try again.

Also the wifi connection you attempted is this home wifi service or phone tethering wifi? If the 2nd, your carrier might block data without a plan.
[FYT Android Head Units] oly51:
Yup. No data connection either way. The Mekede Antenna connections are plug-in not your typical screw-on connector. The antenna is in the same location as my Teyes one which worked perfectly with that SIM. Wifi was from my home service.
[FYT Android Head Units] louforgiveno:
Definitely odd that you're not getting data even connected to home wifi?

My unit is like this......5g/wifi integrated

4g and gps are twist on.

I see you did a factory reset which would be the next thing i would have suggested....

Sorry, not sure what else

The thing with a paint brush (and i mean a good quality 1/2 inch one) is you are sweeping the dust and muck to the side and out, there is no pushing down like there is with putty.

Well worth it, in my opinion! Comes with some good little tools if putty isn't your thing.
