Bluetooth Modul damaged? - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

Hi guys,
I am using an A-Sure Android Quad RK3188 radio with the latest Malaysk Firmware.
MCU Version is 2.83. A few months ago, Bluetooth worked from time to time.
Now it doesn´t find Bluetooth devices anymore – I don´t know why.
I also tried different firmwares..nothing helps
Maybe it´s damaged…would it possible to use another Bluetooth pcb?
If yes.. do you have any recommendations?
Thank you in advance..
Regards

Try changing BT type in Factory Settings. After FW updates id may change to other type by itself. Happened to me. It looks like if works (yes you can get in BT app and it shows like working but searching and connecting doesn't work).

Thanks for your reply. I tried several BT Types but nothing changes. (It is an A-Sure RK3188 Radio for Vauxhall)
I also tried several firmwares from Malaysk. The best one for me is from may 2016.
Does anyone tried to solder another bluetooth stack on the main pcb?
Thank you all in advance.

What is your phone Andorid ver? There is known bug on 7.1 (confirmed by Google) preventing pairing/connecting to car systems.

It doesn´t depend on the phone I think (I don´t use nougat version.) I tried it with different android phones - also with 3 OBD devices.

Bluetooth does not pair with OBD-Adapter

dwmcqueen said:
Hello,
I just recently purchased this - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...tailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1#productDetails
A couple of notes:
1. It appears to be another HuiFei model - specs all align with what is said in this thread (including the Developer password).
2. MCU says MTCB-GS-V1.91
3. I am having a real hard time having my ELM327 connect - scanning for new Bluetooth devices yields nothing.
4. There is no "Extra Settings" - so not sure where I go to map the physical buttons (I want the Navi button to map to Google Maps).
Other than that, seems to be working nicely.

By default, these headunits only recognize and pair with BT OBD adapters that have the name "OBD". I've removed this limitation with the latest experimental release of the XposedMTC module.

Bit worrying. I have this unit hardly for 2 months and it has developed another fault.

It seems that the rotary encoders used for volume and tuning are sometimes susceptible to vibrations/bumps. I've had issues where the volume randomly goes up or down while driving. After spinning the knob up and down a few times it goes away.

With regards to obd, how do I take out the restriction on obd adapters which my unit can use?

You can either decompile the MTCBluetooth3.apk and Settings.apk, modify the smali files to remove the restriction and recompile, or you can root your headunit (check out the first post), install the Xposed Framework, and install the XposedMTC module.

I have xposed mtc and framework and this is a year later. It still does not see my bluetooth ODB as it is not named ODB. It is named CBT

Compatibility also seems to depend on the version of the adapter; the generic ELM327 readers come in many versions. I haven't correlated which versions work and which ones don't, but my adapter, which also shows up as "CBT" is a v1.2, and the override within XMTC does work.
I'm assuming you've already set the XMTC preference to "CBT" and rebooted? Make sure the pairing pin in the stock BT app matches that of the OBD adapter (e.g. 0000, 1111, 1234), and try pairing from within the BT app.

Man i tried that Xposed option and no luck..... its there something specific you need to do? i did the following
- Turned option on Typed Name of ODB adapter.... in my case "Carly Adapter"
- Turned option off
neither worked for me... am i doing something wrong? my HU has passcode set to 1234 which is the same for ODB adapter this one is specially made for BMWs

If you're using a Malaysk rom, the module comes preinstalled, and just has to be enabled in Xposed Installer->Modules. If not, make sure you're installing it to internal storage; some roms default to installing to sdcard and it won't work that way.

Try using just "Carly" as the name (it's a string comparison using a String.contains). Leave the option enabled, and then restart the headunit.
i left it as Carly Adapter it worked just needed to reboot after activation of xposed but sadly it soft brick my HU everytime so system enters recovery and erase everything to restore defaults.... this is using Stock pumpkin firmware. So i think i just gonna go ahead and install custom ROM instead
Hi, I', not able to connect to my OBD adapter. It's a Vgate 3 and the bluetooth name is V-LINK. I've the last Malaysk rom (April 2016), I've installed Xposed framework and Xposed bluetooth module. I've tried to set every combination of strings that could match V-LINK (rebooting) but nothing seems to work. I've also set the bluetooth pin to 1234 (matching my adapter pin). My unit is a Pumpkin 1024x600 quad core RK3188. Any help?

Is your OBD adapter paired to your phone by any chance? If so, unpair it, and try again

Joying Rk3188 10.1" android 5.1.1 bluetooth in apps issue

So i deiced to get the 10" Joying rx3188 unit with android 5.1.1 that recently came on the market. So far I rooted it and got it set mostly how i want, but I discovered an issue with bluetooth. Basic phone pairing and functionality works properly and ive also paired my OBD2link MX unit with it as well for the torque app, which works fine as well. the issue i'm having is that other apps that would use bluetooth, think that bluetooth is disabled on the unit. when i try to have them use bluetooth, they ask if they can turn bluetooth on. Selecting yes hangs the app and i have to force end the app to stop it. Even if i go in to torque, it reads bluetooth as disabled even tough the app itself works fine otherwise.
It seems as if the OS is not properly flagging to apps that bluetooth is turned on as far as i can tell. Is there a workaround for this, or something i can do to signal to apps installed that bluetooth is indeed enabled on the HU?

Sorry i don't understand, Torque is working for you or not?
But, what's the "bluetooth name" of your device? Because to work properly i think it must be "OBD" or "OBD2", otherwise you have to search an Xposed module that can help you.
I'm having the exact same problem with the same unit also on Lollipop. I've notified the developer in the Forum post below and he is looking into it. This now makes a total of 3 people with the same problem.

I'm having two problems right now. The first is that I am unable to pair my Logitech k810 keyboard, and I am unable to connect to a Bluetooth dongle that is used by my radar detector / laser Jammer with an application called Alp connect. I've found quite a few bugs with this head unit and I'm reporting them all to the developer. It works okay my main concern is that it is quite sluggish and I think that is due to the one gigabyte of RAM and lollipop. I installed it in a 2011 Subaru Impreza

I'm fully on board with the concept "your money your car, do what you want" but what do you use a keyboard for in the car?
Quite often I'm too lazy to unpack my laptop when I have to compose a lengthy email on the go so I prefer to do it with a keyboard rather than try to use the touch screen to bash out a couple paragraphs.

Torque is working, but if you go to adapter status in torque i shows BT not enabled. And thats the issue, the BT status is off when apps check it. For torque, it does not try to turn on BT to function. other apps do, and when they do, they hang.
I need to somehow flag BT as on for other apps so they dont say they need to turn on BT to work.

apps like tablet talk, or obdlink or solostorm. all think BT is off, and try to turn it on when you want to use the BT obd2 adapter.

If your objective is to solve the problem get a usb keyboard. They work. If your objective is to get bluetooth keyboards working you might have to wait a long time.
Well, I hope you are wrong as my previous NewsMy NU3001 head unit worked perfectly with it. I'm aware I can use a USB keyboard. In any case I'm happy the developer is willing to try and fix it. What is your source for claiming it will be a long time for it to be fixed?
Also to add to this, im also unable to pair my qstarx 10hz BT gps unit.
It may be helpful to post your Bluetooth concerns in the same thread as mine on the Joying Forum I linked to above so that the developer is aware it's not just me and may encourage him to work on this more quickly.
Just popped my head in over there. I was hoping that peeps here would know of a trick or flag for the OS to make all apps think BT is on. then they could get past the check and just access BT, kinda like what the torque app does.
Yeah if someone finds a way to do that I'd be interested to know how as well. Slightly off-topic did you try installing a custom recovery or the Xposed framework on this unit? I have tried and failed many different types of attempts to do it on this unit.

My source? Joying didn't write the software.
And what relevance does that have to the speed at which the issue can be resolved? It seems that you are just being defeating for no purpose. The developer is willing to help and he has expressed that desire in many Communications I've had with him so far. I prefer to be optimistic and that he has the right people to contact to resolve the issue

None that I can think of I was just curious if you had been able to install Xposed. I am curious as to how you were able to install SuperSU, as I was only able to install King root.

[ISSUE] Android Nougat. Bluetooth issue after updating

SOLVED. Thanks to Fir3start3r.
Change pairing code to 0000
Hello all,
I updated my Android to Nougat over the air on previously fresh installed Android Marshmallow. Everything seems ok, but now I can't pair my phone with my car over bluetooth. A few weeks ago, I tested Android N DP5, and it was the same issue. At that time, I thought that the issue was related to beta version, but now it's official.
Everything worked like charm before on Marshmallow. The error message that I get is "Can't communicate with Hands Free System". The car says "Pairing failed".
Just to clarify, the car is Mitsubishi Spacestar 2014, and before pairing, I wiped the phone from car's Hands Free System, so it's clean/new pairing.
Does anyone experiencing this? Is there any fix?
Thank you.

I don't know about specifics in bluetooth devices such as your Mitsubishi. But I can tell you my bluetooth connects to my stereo fine in my 2012 Jeep Patriot. I haven't updated to the final release but I'm currently on preview 5. So I don't think it's an issue with bluetooth in Nougat.
I had some issues on the last preview. For me it would disconnect after being connected for maybe 5 min or so. That was with a JVC BT adapter (older aftermarket headunit) and in a Ford with sync (V1) Haven't tested on the new build though. Going back to 6.0.1 resolved all of those issues at the time. I flashed the ota last night and still need to see if it improved anything for me.

Every time i flash my phone with a major update change or wipe it, i have to delete the current BT profile in the car, as I do not alter the name. That resolves it for me 7.0 syncs just fine on my car
Can anyone help me in getting the vendor image for official nougat build?
Thanks in advance!
I have same issue as OP with a 2nd gen Toyota Prius. Resetting the car's Bluetooth settings hasn't helped, as suggested by others in the thread.
I tried everything and I also wiped my phone. I believe that the issue is Nougat OS because it did sync before on Marshmallow.

OK so the car is at least 7 years old, so does the car have any profile settings, where it associates your phones BT MAC address with a name of some kind where you can see and choose them. I know some cars can do that, even some older ones. If so does it still show as I do not know if there is a difference between doing a BT reset and deleting profiles?
I can attest that 7.0 works with BT streaming, connecting, etc...

It allows you to delete registered phones and "Reset settings to default". I think those settings might just be Bluetooth name and PIN though, but that's what I tried

I wonder if something in the upgrade process fouled it up per chance.

6.0.1 Stock, unrooted etc, thru "Beta" enrollment to expedite OTA delivery. I unenrolled after the update installed.
I plan on resetting in the next week or so to switch to File-Based encryption. Hopefully that will fix it

Anyone have any luck on a JVC stereo? It keeps saying wrong code. Idk how to reset it
Mine connects fine to my car stereo but with Play Music it starts playing through the speaker phone after a song completes. I have to pause and resume for it to start playing through the car stereo again. Really obnoxious. Other than that, I'm really enjoying Nougat (besides the terrible name).

Bluetooth car issue.

So, Bluetooth works well with all alter devices but does not recognise my car Bluetooth. I have not had any issues so far testing from all possible android phones to Nokia and iPhone. I have a 2010 C class. Any suggestions? The car says that no devices has been found when trying to pair. Thanks
Same exact problem here with an Audi A1. I contacted support, but they only suggested things I had already tried (like factory reset etc). I'm going to try and get a log to them at some point this week.
Are you on the latest OTA? That's when the problems started happening for me - it was working fine before that.

If you're wanting to do Android Auto, there is an app called "Headunit Reloaded" developed by XDA developer @Emil Borconi. There is a free version of Headunit Reloaded that you can install to verify hardware compatibility before purchasing the full version. I have purchased the full version and can confirm that it works quite well as an alternative to ZLink.

It looks like this. The seller doesn’t say anything no help. Is there an alternative to zlink?

Yes - here; https://www.android.com/auto/compatibility/#compatibility-stereos
I have a Android radio the uses the zlink app, that I use my apple carplay, this wireless connection is very unstable and drops regularly. sometimes it does not connect at all.
The cable is beter but does also just randomly drop.
I have tried other iphones, cables and even looked for newer firmware, but says we have latest version on.
I purchased the Carlinkit device to see if this will work but also no luck.
Can someone maybe advice me?

Use the android head unit as android head unit or buy genuine AA or Carplay unit based on need.
These Chinese knockoffs emulate and are problematic as emulator.
