Hi guys,
I got a new HA2100 dual core head unit.
I'm new to all that staff but i have android phone for a long time so i know many of the terms.
I installed the latest Malaysk's rom and MCU version 2.83 and i have some question and problems.
The first and major one is that after the upgrade the wifi stops work, it not start, do this related to the MCU version? do i need to downgrade the version?
second question is about the built in 'Bluetooth' app, when i get a call it appears in the bottom of the screen and i can't do anything else with the head unit, for example return to the navigation app of search for something, at least i want it not hide my navigation app, There is something to do with it?
and last but not least, there is a music player app that can play music from storage and from bluetooth device (like my phone) in the same app or at least to display the song name from the bluetooth device?
Thanks,
It's really great community!

I'm trying to see if there is a way to get the meta data (song information) on my Eonon GA5162F. Currently it only shows a back, play/pause and next button however I've seen that some head unit on this forum are able to show more information.
I'm running the Malaysk 5.1.1 Rom and my MCU is MTCB-ZD v2.68
What are my options? if any.
Is there another way to update the bluetooth to get song information?
AFAIK, there isn't. I spent a few hours when I first bought my Joying trying to figure out the same thing. If you figure it out though, please report back.
on my Joying it will show a tiny bit of info, like the track playing or whatever it is, but not full metadata, certainly no album artwork via bluetooth
Hey guys,
Just installed my PX5 Oreo unit and wondering if anyone out there can help me out - whenever I turn on the unit it usually opens the radio up automatically and I never listen to the radio so have to turn it off and manually open spotify, it really bugs me!
Can I change the default setting so that it would open spotify automatically or at least can I stop the radio being activated when I turn the key?
Thanks
Interesting, because my Joying unit simply opens whatever was the last app opened before the unit shuts off. What unit do you have?
Howdy,
I have a pretty straight forward question. I am about to dump some money on a new head unit for my car. This one to be specific: Kenwood DMX7704S
My question is: Will I be able to use Waze and Google Play Music at the same time with Android Auto?
A question requiring a bit more detail: If yes to the above, what is the experience like? Will Waze run in the background? Will Google Play Music run in background? What is the experience like?
Yes. But not sure Waze is out of beta yet. But yes it will play music and have Waze up on screen or have music up and give you both audio and visual notifications
Hey mate, I tried a few head units like this including our local version of this one as I wanted to do exactly the same. *From memory* you connect the Android phone via USB, run Android Auto and it will let you select if you want Maps or Waze on the screen. I know it did that on a popular Sony one and yeah it’s all good and stuff if you want an all in one unit. And I’m pretty sure you can run audio and Waze.
If you’re keen, this is what I’m doing:
After checking out several of these head units including generic double DIN Chinese Android ones I ended up going down a different way. I bought a single DIN head unit Sony MEX-N5200BT and am running Waze on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7” (T-210). I got it because I have planned on hiding the head unit in the dash and fabricating the Galaxy in the facia, then it gives me a dedicated Waze display. I did plan on also running music and possibly the FM radio from the Galaxy however it runs on 4.1.2 and multi window isn’t available until 4.2.2, which I got working. BUT – then I ran into the notorious GPS issues and just couldn’t get Waze happening (even when I pair it to my LG Q6 – something wasn’t working). So I’m running Infamous ROM 4.1.2 on it, and until I fabricate the mount I’ve just velcro’d it under the head unit. A bit primitive but it’s working fine. You can control the head unit from using a Sony app on your phone which is great, but will probably maintain access somehow, maybe a sliding unit.
Oh and also, I’m doing this on a 2011 VW Golf Mk6…which lets you maintain steering wheel controls with headunits, but the hardware is not cheap. Can provide more detail if you like – but when it’s all sorted it will be a great little system.
Hi
I've purchased a PX5 MTCD based Dasaita 10.2" unit for my Peugeot 208 2016 to get Android auto.
Quite pleased with the design and features overall but had a show stopper when I realised that even if I set the unit to mph in the control settings app the car would flip back over to kph on my speedometer when it started up. This was even though the setting stayed as mph in the control settings app. Indeed I'd have to flip back to khp then back again to mph to rectify.
I tried first of all upgrading to the latest version of my DCU software (2.99MTCE) and updated and tried different ROM's to no avail.
Anyway. I've found a sort of workaround I think which is to disable the canbus app in Android settings. This has stopped the speedo from updating and the steering wheel controls still work. Have I broken anything else though? Does anyone know what force stopping this app does?
Thanks
Dasaita provided me with the fix today. If you PM me, I will send you the file and instructions. Note that you do the update at your own risk.
Fix= new firmware? Android or MCU?
Fix is an update for the canbus. It's not an android firmware nor MCU update.
Hi @jamesbruton, how/where do I turn off the Canbus app?
Hello every one.
I have a problem with my HU its a HIPZO MTCE octa core android 8.0.0.
The problem is that the radio application does not always work. Sometimes it works normally but most of the time the application starts but no sound is heard or tuned to FM or AM stations.
When it is working incorrectly it will not be corrected even if I turn off and then turn on the device or engine of the car. The next day it may work and it may not, 1 to 10 work OK.
When it is working properly, there is no malfunction until I switch off the head unit or the car.
Can anyone help please?
