I have been asking some questions in different threads, but it's time to ask everyone:-
I want to know what amplified mounts are confirmed working OK or not, and also whether having an external antenna has solved any previous problems.
This refers to many reported problems where the digital radio signal from the mobile causes the 'chirruping' sound in the external speaker.

Followed someone's advice here to Turn on Data Roaming to avoid data connection drops.Did it a couple of days ago despite the recommendations of T-Mo tech support. Seems to have stopped data connectivity issues, at least have not had a drop since...
A new issue did resurface though, not sure if related. If I'm on a call on bluetooth in my car and another call comes in, the sound automatically switches to the phone before I even do anything (although the other car audio sources - ie radio - remain muted ). I have to manually change Audio Source to the phone or speaker and then change back to the car. Anyone else having this issue? Did not have this problem with an M7 in the same car.

Bump... Anyone?
My M8 which is on Insert Coin 7.1.9 has been experiencing Audio issues. So when I start up the phone I can use the internal speakers no problem, but when I insert my headphones ( yes my headphones work and I can use them normally) and then remove them, my phone still thinks that they are inserted and won't release sound from the internal speakers. I can put my headphones back in and use them normally but my external speakers won't work until I reset my phone. This is a software issue, and has nothing to do with which headphones I use or my audio jack. I'm looking to avoid a full reset if possible, and judging by other forums other people have had similar problems with the M8.
My need to update firmware. What does it say for hboot, radio number, and OS number on the hboot screen?
Been having problems with the blue tooth crashing my car stereo during a call... After a few minutes it completely crashes the head unit.
Phone has been changed and problem persists..
Ice is fine with p4,p4a,and p3 phones. Toyota touch ice.
Safe mode doesn't make any difference..
Now I may have found the issue...
I was talking on the phone thru Bluetooth on using the ice.
I wasn't moving in the car and the Bluetooth didn't crash the ice...
So I suspect the issue is on the call side and how the phone is dealing with phone signal and changing phone transmitters when driving which is affecting the Bluetooth side.
I will add streamed music via Bluetooth is fine when driving.
Anyone else having a similar issue ?
Any of the XDA god's got any thoughts..
Google help have suggested I change the phone a 3rd time....

I have not had this issue yet. I do use wired Android Auto (in my Subaru) all the time, which I believe still uses the Bluetooth for the calls as normal - however, I'm not certain I've been on calls long enough while driving to necessarily trigger the issue.
Might take someone's experience with using it with a Toyota setup similar to yours to report back more useful feedback, since different car manufacturers are notorious for having different Bluetooth experiences.
I recently installed a Xtrons PQS90MTVL head unit in a skoda superb. I have a couple of questions on how to get it to work correctly when navigating.
1) It seems that you can set the navigation sounds to be a percentage of the radio volume but cannot set it to play at a given volume regardless. The problem is that the radio seems to be constantly on and there is no way to turn it off. The 'on/off' button simply mutes the radio - and the navigation sounds.
Often I am in an area where I cannot pick up a decent radio signal on the programme I want and just get static. In these situations I want to turn the radio off but still hear navigation sounds. I don't want to listen to loud static just so I can have the nav sounds play at a percentage of that static. Is there a way to turn the radio off but still get navigation sounds? (a workaround I have found is to play a media file instead of the radio and then pause playback. The nav sounds are then still a percentage of the - non existent - playback volume. However this should not be necessary)
2) It also seems that a Internet connection is needed for any navigation. even google maps won't do a search without it as it says I am offline. (is this true?)
I have bought the 4G wifi dongle but have a question about its use. Does the HU connect to the dongle, as far as data is concerned, via the USB socket that comes out of the back of the unit or is that socket simply powering the dongle and the HUI is actually connecting to it over wifi using the dongle as a hotspot? If so then I don't have to use the wired usb socket from the unit (which I suspect is underpowered) and can plug the dongle into an ordinary 2A USB socket that I have in the car, positioning the dongle near the roof for a better signal
Incidentally I did try using Android Auto with my phone using wired connection. That seems sort of OK but is not very reliable. Often when starting the car it hangs at the 'connected' screen, or even at the 'trying to connect' screen, although other times it seems OK
3) There is a small socket on the left hand side of the HU that looks like a slot for a small memory card or a sim card. It is labelled 'GPS'. What is that socket used for? it is not mentioned in the manual as far as I can see. - The manual is generally a bit hand waving though, excitedly telling you what you can do but not how to do it.
(I did try the xtrons forum but not only are the last posts there around January 2022 but there seems to be no way to register for it. Hence posting here)
Is it MTCx post system info including mcu version.
Mtcb is long retired

All I know is the model is Xtrons PQS90MTVL so maybe its MTVL (whatever that is) I'm afraid I don't know what mcu means so cannot offer any version for it. Its possible I have posted this in the wrong section and have rep[osted in 'Android Head-Units'. If that is the right place and this is the wrong place, please can you delete this post
Hi everyone. I ask you for help because I am a GOLF 5 owner with an Eonon GA5153F installed (which should be an MCTB) originally with Android 4.4.4 which I then brought to version 5.1 with a rom
The problem he has always had is related to the audio quality in calls. Until I used it, I used the hands-free phone and that's it, but now that my wife uses it, I prefer to be careful while driving and therefore call and do everything via the car radio. The problem is that the audio I get is really HORRIBLE. Practically whoever is on the other side of the phone hears nothing, hears 1 word every 5 and at a very low volume (I've already gone to the factory settings and turned up the bluetooth but nothing changes).
I've read that many of these Chinese have made hardware changes, removing the capacitor and resistor on the bluetooth module or similar, but I can't find anything about my car radio. Have any of you done this? Does anyone of you have photos, videos or something that tells me on mine which component I have to desolder, which track to open, or what to do?
Please because the quality that this car radio has on call is really a shameful thing!
Thanks a lot to everyone
P.S. Currently I have connected (in the back of the car stereo) an external microphone (the one that was inside the car stereo package)
