Yea thats what I was talking about. It would just be a novelty that wouldn't get used much if ever but thought it would be cool to hook the SteamDeck(PC/handheld game console) up to it to play games. Just wondering if anyone here has messed with it and it its any good. The only video I've seen of someone using it is from a Saab Unleashed youtube vid where he shows like 10 secs of him playing a PS4 on it. As a $20 add on option I figure it cant be that bad.

Ok thanks I figured it was just a software thing and they probly havn't bothered to update the Aliex site in a while to reflect that plus maybe a language barrier.

Is the best way/place to order these from the aliex site? They have them on Amazon but dont have the trim specific packages there. Not sure how these mount without the trim pieces as thats how all of them are shown on their site. Do they just mount to a normal 2 din kit otherwise or are made to mount to their specific trim plates? I'm in the US is that matters.

Well if I were you I would order it on AliExpress. I rarely use Amazon but I bought already 3 headunits on AliExpress and every time I was very satisfied. Truth to be told I live in small poor European country, the poorest member state of the EU, which is a bit disregarded by Amazon (I can order but have to pay extra for delivery to the country and takes a min of 4 days for delivery or longer and is more expensive and less availability) but not by AliExpress. Every time I bought headunit from AliExpress it was evrthying plug and play and came with all the cables canbus, frame and all accessories. How the unit mounts depend on car models, but if ordered with the right accessories you won't have any issues installing it. Look for mekede official store on AliExpress

Hello fellow forum members, I messed things up looking for a solution to the mileage and duration problem in launcher 27 (3D launcher) - it always shows zero "0" for me.

The seller from AliExpress sent me a new update for the M6PLUS 3D named " MKD M6PLUS-UI29R-4L-850-国际360-设计识语-横屏2k-20240116-lzp.rar ". I did not pay attention to the fact that there is no 3D text in the name of the file and after I installed it, there was indeed no 3D launcher. In addition, from Android version 13 it went down to 12 (according to system info kernel:#456). During the procedure it said Android update (V9.02).

Before the installation, I backed up the system according to surfer63

instructions with the appBackup-V1.2 script. System info kernel:#437.

I tried to go back to the state before the update, but what I got is that the Android is again 13 (but with a kernel :#456 which was different from the previous one #437) and above all that I lost the ability to connect to Bluetooth2, which I had already overcome as a problem with changing the file config.txt ! During the backup installation it said Android update ( V7.82 )

Then I tried an installation from Mekede's official site named MKD M6 3D PLUS_国际UI62 5L_360_横屏2000x1200_20231226_lzp. result Android 12, but with kernel:#453, no possibility for Bluetooth2 (after I modified to config.txt), in Status indicates "Bluetooth address unavailable", basic Bluetooth CQ134_LSDT_V2.2 is available!

Interestingly, the other problem with mileage and duration in launcher 27 was solved and now shows non-zero "0" values and they are correct.

One problem was resolved, but another one emerged.:mad:

Modifying the config.txt file by adding lines does not work to enable Bluetooth2

sys.fyt.systemobd=true

persist.lsec.enable_a2dp=true

ro.lsec.btname=Bluetooth 2

Why can't I revert back to my previous kernel:#437 Android 13 with the system backup I made?

Can you provide any suggestions on how to resolve my Bluetooth2 issue in this situation?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Add the following line to config.txt.

That will permanently solve 1 of your issues.
[FYT Android Head Units] Lacki12:
can you share it?

Try to flash the file 6315_1.zip from this firmware: https://drive.usercontent.google.co...at=APZUnTWXrkDIRY9OqpKT8RLfuQOj:1705630970903, along with your modified config.txt file may help to get the Bluetooth2 chips up and working.
[FYT Android Head Units] brymbrym:
@cutisg

This file 6315_1.zip is from M6 MAX 3D 1920x1200 . Is this a problem if in my case I need it for M6 Pro Plus 2000x1200 ?

and one more question please,

Which config.txt should I use the modified one from M6 MAX 3D 1920x1200 or the current one which is currently installed which is also modified with Bluetooth 2 lines?:unsure:
[FYT Android Head Units] cutisg:
it should not cause any problem as I have the same head unit as yours and this kernel file worked for me. Use your own config.txt file, not the one in the downloaded firmware.
[FYT Android Head Units] brymbrym:
Thank you @cutisg , your advice worked !!!

I have a Bluetooth 2 again and the problem is solved with the readings of mileage and duration problem in launcher 27 (3D launcher) - you always show zero value "0".

What I did was put the following files together for installation:

1) 6315_1 from M6 MAX 3D 1920x1200

2) config.txt from MKD M6 3D PLUS_国际UI62 5L_360_横屏2000x1200_20231226 with added lines for Bluetooth 2

3) lsec6315update

During the procedure it said Android update (V8.92) and after the update kernel :#434 , i.e. it went down from 453 to 434!

By the way, my AliExpress seller sent me a new update MKD M6 3D PLUS_国外UI62 5L_360_横屏2000x1200_20240322_Zzb. I'm curious what's new in this update.;)

For now I don't plan to install it until I see any problems with the current installation. I don't feel like going through system settings and apps.:mad:

Is there a way to install an update without deleting all my apps?
[FYT Android Head Units] Triflot:
Yes, edit the updatecfg.txt file to remove the "twipe_data" command. Now, data shouldn't be wiped during the update.

Thanks for sharing the update!

I just hooked up a new harness I bought off Amazon (with a canbus box for my vehicle) and am trying to program the steering wheel controls. I've already chosen my specific canbus box, make, and specific model. Now I'm on this screen and no amount of button pressing on my steering wheel does anything on the unit. Please help.
[FYT Android Head Units] halloj:
That panel doesn't work if you have a Canbus-box. Your SWC-function is hardcoded in the Canbus-box. The only way to re-program is to use a specific SW-program available on this forum.
[FYT Android Head Units] bsuav3:
Ah, so maybe it's the wrong box? Should just be plug and play?
[FYT Android Head Units] marjanoos:
It's not always the case though.

I had Simple canbox connected to MTCD device and my SWC were 'hardcoded'. Now I'm using Hiworld canbox connected to FYT device and I have to use SWC-learning app.
[FYT Android Head Units] bsuav3:
Holy complicatedness Batman. What would you try if you were me, before I order another box?
[FYT Android Head Units] halloj:
What car do you have and what was selected in the canbox selection? Also what is the brand of the canbus-box.
[FYT Android Head Units] bsuav3:
2013 RAV4 Limited and I didn't select anything. I ordered the universal Mekede M6 off Amazon. The brand of the box is Hikity. Also, my reverse canera is just a black/non-image. I'm assuming I need the factory camera retain adapter like this one (it's the second pic)?
[FYT Android Head Units] oly51:
Here is a weird one... My M6 3D Plus is having major Bluetooth issues with my paired phone. If I go into 'Settings', the BT phone screen pops up and starts dialing the last number called. The unit keeps calling that number until I unpair my phone.

I restarted the unit, and reset Bluetooth and it still happens.

Mekede sent the "latest" upgrade last night (dated 20231226). I loaded that file and it did not fix it.

I'm waiting for their next reply. I'm in the U.S. so there is a 12-hour time difference.
[FYT Android Head Units] brymbrym:
@oly51​

you can try with solution

​

These sellers only send Bug-ridden software upgrade... :cry:
[FYT Android Head Units] oly51:
I will try that one.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
I had a similar issue where every time i got in the car and Bluetooth connected the head unit would redial the last number my phone had called. This was extremely frustrating especially when it made me ring relatives or friends at 2am when I got in my car.

I tried everything I could think of from Woking the unit, doing full firmware flashes, changing my phone temporarily, but no matter what I tried the same thing would continue to happen.

Eventually I upgraded my head unit from the M500s to the M6 Pro Plus and to my absolute horror it kept happening.

After a few hours troubleshooting with my unit set up on a bench indoors I worked out that it was my simplesoft xp canbus box causing the issue. I had a near identical spare canbus box with a slightly different firmware revision and after swapping in the newer canbus box the issue went away.

Mekede sold me everything except the offending canbus box so I couldn't blame them even if I wanted to.
[FYT Android Head Units] oly51:
Unfortunately, my vehicle does not use a Canbus box.
[FYT Android Head Units] AaronNZ:
Not sure where else to put this question, but does anyone know if the ADAS(front+rear) camera that can be purchased with the Mekede systems can support an sd card over 32GB? 32GB is what they have pictured in the marketing material, but that size is getting hard to find!
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Yes. It takes a 128GB sd card perfectly fine.

Just do note that only the front USB dash cam is ADAS.
[FYT Android Head Units] oly51:
That update did work! Thank You!!
[FYT Android Head Units] oly51:
@brymbrym, Thank you again for that update! My Mekede unit is working as it should and I am finally able to enjoy it without the constant bugs! Please keep me informed of future updates from your seller.

Hello friends , the seller from AliExpress sent me a new update for the M6 PLUS 3D named : MKD M6 3D PLUS_国外UI62 5L_360_横屏2000x1200_20240428_Zzb.

I don't know at all what's new inside, I complained to him that some applications were not working properly and he sent me an update. These updates have no Release information indicating the changes.:unsure:

If someone notices something important in the changes, they can share...:)

Regarding the update, it fixed a bug that had when turning on the car's flashlight the brightness did not decrease, now it works normally
[FYT Android Head Units] volverrr:
what is ,,3d,,? can i install this new firmware om my m6pro plus?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Yes you can.

3D firmware basically changes the launcher to incorporate features of a USB ADAS camera.

If you don't have a compatible USB ADAS camera and have no intention of adding 1 then the 3D firmware is a bit pointless.
[FYT Android Head Units] redlikemethodz:
I'm interested in the m6 pro 9inch and have some questions. what 4g lte bands does it support? I want to use a Tmobile sim card with it. Can you set the temperature units to fahrenheit? does the a/c app pop up on the bottom of the screen? Does it support OTA firmware updates?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
You can set the temp to fahrenheit.

The a/c app working depends on your car and canbus model.

OTA isn't supported. Flash drive only.

The supported 4g bands are as follows

I am thinking of buying a Mekede M6 Pro Plus for my 2014 Toyota Rav4 Limited since my OEM head unit decided to get stuck in a reboot loop. I don't know much about android head units nor cars in general. I do have a few questions and would appreciate the help.

1. The one im planning to buy is in the photo.

2. Will I need a separate wiring like shown in photo 2? For steering wheel control + OEM rear camera (canbus and wiring harness for toyota rav4)

3. Is it plug and play in terms of software as well or do I need to download some files/updates that I've seen in this thread?

4. Are their units really Android 12 / 13?

5. Will 4 + 64 be plenty enough or do I need 8 + 128? (for longevity i guess?)
[FYT Android Head Units] Favorit5503:
Hi,

1. I recommend to buy the M7 version. Its almost the same price and its real android 13

2. It should come with everything you need. Mine came (for Peugeot 308/408) with the cable and canbus

3. Its plug and play but the early firmware version has some bugs, you should update to the newest one available

4. No Its android 10.The M7 version should be android 13

5. I have the 4 + 64 and its plenty and realy fast. 8gb for android 10 is overkill. You wont do much of the multitask on the road. And the longevity comes with the software support that i currently dont know how long will last :D I have it 1 year now.
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Always, **always** negotiate with the seller before purchasing, asking for specs and screenshots of Android system information including MCU version, ram, screen size and type. Take control of the process and avoid being scammed.

Can you recommend an USB ADAS camera that has a G-sensor and works on laucher 27 (3D) Mekede . I have a USB ADAS camera but it doesn't work with laucher 27 (3D) Mekede.:(
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
There's a list of USB ADAS cameras confirmed working with M6 Pro 3D launchers here:

USB DVRs compatible with Launcher 27

Pretty much any camera that uses the Ankai ADAS software will work (or any camera on some newer chipset, can't quite remember).
[FYT Android Head Units] brymbrym:
Am I not seeing this list USB DVRs compatible with Launcher 27 or is there something wrong with the link? If I don't see it, I apologize :confused:

Is there a way to check if my current camera software is on Ankai ADAS software?

Installing usb dvr camera software from Mekede does not serve it and needs additional software..
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Go to the post again, click on the line Spoiler: USB DVRs compatible with Launcher 27

It will expand with a list.

The Ankai ADAS software looks like the attached image.

Going in to Settings on the ADAS software then going to "About" (or something similar) will mention the Ankai version in use.

Can you share what camera you are using? A link to the product page?
[FYT Android Head Units] bsl0:
Hi all, I've had an M6 MAX (13in 2K screen) for 10 months and pretty happy with it : all canbus functions working once I switched from Raise to Hiworld, 360 cam option, DAB radio and external TPMS. Enjoying all XDA posts especially those from Surfer63 (also had a reliable but slow Joying SC9853i unit before...) :)

However since one week my screen died. At first it flickered on the lower half, and now it's completely black with a green line at the bottom (see pictures). No touch input working either. I can see the screen is lit up but no signal is displayed.

I've contacted my ali vendor but no serious answer about warranty so far, only repeated request to update firmware (which I did but in blind mode, and of course unable to view firmware screen after update to the vendor). I've also tried factory reset pinhole on the side.

I've not seen similar issue in this thread, did anybody encountered such a problem or warranty issue, and have suggestion. In any case, I will report on any progress from vendor side and similar email sent to Mekede aftersale service (I can give the name of the Ali vendor if it is not against forum rules). Thanks!

I have a chinese android head unit and android auto works perfectly, even everything works what I want. Why would I buy a brand of radio for a lot more money when there is sometimes less and sometimes 2 to 3x more expensive.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
Confused by the wording here.

Is Mekede the seller? If not why bother emailing Mekede?
[FYT Android Head Units] brymbrym:
Thank you @j0hn83 , I was able to find the list. My info cam says "About": XCDVR version 3.13-gsj and no Ankai text at all.

Most likely it will not be compatible with a launcher 27 (3D). In addition, it needs an additional application to work, which turns off when the multimedia goes to sleep. Which is very annoying and I had to install the FYT-Starter apk to start it every time the car is powered on. Also, this camera doesn't have a g-sensor as advertised, and I demand it. I see that on other ADAS DVR cameras, Mekeda ADAS DVR cameras are not mentioned at all about availability.

My camera is currently dvr adas cam . Now i'm trying to find a better camera maybe this one is good JMCQ 2K USB :unsure:
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Because Android or iOS update breaks Chinese knock off emulation. If brought knockoff for AA or cp to save a buck, well hang in there, good luck.
[FYT Android Head Units] suicidalguitar:
Hi everyone!

1st of all, thanks to everyone who share their knowledge here.

I've spent the last couple weeks (whenever I had some free time, which is rare) looking at these FYT units and reading the forum. I was going for a EKIY T7, however it looks like there's lots more people with these Mekede units and it's also good that they have their own website where we can find manuals and firmware updates.

I'm in touch with the "Mekede Official Store" on Aliexpress, trying to decide between the M6 Pro 3D and the M6 Plus 3D. I still don't understand when I read here about a M6 Pro Plus 3D. Are people refering to even another different version?

I asked them for pictures of the system info. Does everything looks good?

Am I right to say that I can't be sure about the Android 13 until I install some app to check it by myself? Or is this absolutely not Android 13? Not that I would mind about it being Android 10 (lots os more support here in the forum), but I like to be sure about what I'm buying. Where can the API be checked?

Anyone here with this unit in an Audi TT (MK2) with the BOSE Sound System? Did you have any issues with the connections?

Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
The M6 has changed name since Mekede rolled out their 3D firmware/launcher.

The M6 Pro became the M6 Pro 3D (720p)

The M6 Pro Plus became the M6 Plus 3D (2k)

The M6 Pro Max became the M6 Max 3D (13"+ I believe?)

The 3 versions are basically identical units with different screens

The "M6 Pro Plus 3D" isn't a thing, but they will be referring to the M6 Pro Plus/M6 Plus 3D.

The only difference with the 3D branded units is the 3D launcher that works with select ADAS DVR cameras. Your can install either 3D or non 3D firmware.

The build number on your screenshot confirms it's Android 10 (it begins with a Q).

These units only come with Android 10 or 12.

Android 12 units are very locked down with little to no development.
[FYT Android Head Units] suicidalguitar:
Thanks a lot for the quick and detailed answer. Couldn't ask for any better.

Now it makes sense regarding the models. My bad I didn't realize "3D" was not in front of the M6 Pro Plus.

It amazes me that even the aparently "Mekede Official Store" is fooling people with these fake Android 13 units. Now I wonder if I should buy it anyway and then use the false info to ask for a partly refund?! Everyting else with this unit looks ok and Android 10 is probably the best choice anyway.

I received these pictures from the "EKIY Official Store" (attached). Main differences to the Mekede I see are Bluetooh and MCU version (apart from the fake Android 13).

Mekede M6 Pro 3D / M6 Plus 3D (8G + 128G)

+ Possibility of a better screen with the M6 Plus 3D

+ HDMI (at an extra charge)

+ Bluetooth 5.1

+ Fakra connector for the GPS (I can use the car's original antena without using adapters)

+ Decent website for manuals and firmaware

- Fake Android 13

- The seller is not as responsive as the one from the EKIY store.

- More expensive. Even the M6 Pro 3D which would be the equivalent to to EKIY T7 costs around $70/$80 more

EKIY T7 (8G + 128G)

+ Cheaper

+ No fake Android 13

+ Resposive seller

- Not sure if bluetooth 5.0 or 5.1

- Not sure if Wifi 5Ghz

- Blueish color on the edges of the screen glass

- No website for downloads

Which one would you guys go for?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
The Android version can be changed to anything you like with a 1 minute flash. It's just a single number changed on the About screen. You can make it say any number, or word, or emoji.

The Ekiy does have 5GHz WiFi. The WiFi is done by the CPU/SoC and the SoC is the same on both units.

The Ekiy only has 2 USB ports vs 3 USB on Mekedes units however passive & active USB hubs do work to increase the number of ports.

The Bluetooth on Mekede is 5.0

FYT do not have any devices with Bluetooth 5.1
[FYT Android Head Units] suicidalguitar:
Good to know about the WiFi.

Really, they're also lying about the Bluetooth? :cautious:

I'm lost. Don't know what to do anymore. I like the HDMI and the website for downloads. But now I wonder if that's worth the price difference.

Any other difference between the 2 "brands" that would make one better than the other? Which one woukd you go for?

Mekede M6 Pro 3D

Mekede M6 Plus 3D

EKIY T7

Something else in the same price range?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
A few other differences...

The Mekede M6 range has an internal microphone that turns off when connecting an external microphone.

The internal mic on the Ekiy is always on, even if you connect an external mic. You need to open the unit and do something physical to disable it.

The Mekede can take Ekiy firmware, but not vice versa as Mekede lock their firmware to "YIN" MCU.

Ekiy have "NOR" MCU I believe.
[FYT Android Head Units] suicidalguitar:
Thanks for your help.

I just got tired of all this process and placed the order for the M6 Plus 3D (8Gb/128Gb) with the HDMI. Now I hope I can use this forum to share experiences and help others, instead of keep coming back here to solve my own problems with the unit :geek:
[FYT Android Head Units] Lightcycles:

These are the release dates of the AllAppUpdate.bin. 20240428 is 28 April 2024, 20240316 is therefore 16 March 2024.
