Has anyone seen this issue with Steering Wheel app/settings? - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

My Steering wheel app is blank - no buttons, so I can't remap anything.

If so, does anything know how to fix the issue?
Xtrons support is crap. I would not buy anything from them. Their only suggestion is for me to return or refund it, when I keep telling them it's software issue and to actually look at another unit.

You will press the button it will appear on the screen then you choose the action

4 of the 6 buttons on my steering wheel do things, but there are no buttons there to begin with, like shown here: http://kepfeltoltes.hu/141121/20141119_152125a_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg
When I press any of the buttons nothing happens in the steering wheel app. No buttons appear. If the button already does something, it just does it, instead of interacting with the app. The buttons that don't do anything, continue to not do anything. So basically the app isn't communicating with canbus adapter, but canbus adapter is working, since some buttons do stuff.

In your first picture the android version is 5.1.1 in normal cases when you press on your SWC they should appear and you will be able to link to an action
So if that is not happening with you I confirm that you have a problem and most probably a software problem so I suggest resetting the device to factory default and trying again
In the 2nd picture android version is 4.. which is a bit different in setting it up

Thanks for the suggestions. I've already tried to factory reset, but ended with the same results. My next attempt to fix it will be flashing stock factory rom... but my sdcard ejected and shot out and got lost between seat and center console. So waiting for new micro sd card.

same issue, on mi pumpkin unit.
I agree with you, the support is really crap 8 emails and nothing ...just ¨send it back¨
Don't buy Xtrons Units !

Eanon seems to have good support. They helped even though I didn't buy it from them. In any case, I had to press the swc first, then select which action I wanted it to take on screen.

Honest question: Did you confirm that your SWC wires are properly connected?

My fix for SWC
I had the exact same problem with my
Joying . SKU: JY-UL124 . From China Warehouse
. Quad Core Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS Capacitive 7" High Definition for Universal Double Din . CPU: RK3188 1.6GHz Cortex A9 Quad Core, Resolution 1024*600
. RAM:DDR3 1G, 16 GB memory
I fixed it by connecting a earth or ground to one (either) of the SWC control wires from the car.
The car's original wiring only had a "ladder" resistance network between the two SWC wires and had no earth. This works ok for OEM but the MTCB type head needed one of the wires to have an earth connection. The moment I connected the earth the missing SWC icons populated the screen and the setup was easy from then.
Hope that helps,
Duke

You guys need to post this in the MTCD thread and not the MTCB. Some or all of you have the 5.1.1 units which have different core boards (MTCD). The moderator of Android Auto thread has been pressing the issue of posting to the correct thread. The units may look the same but the software and hardware are different than that of the MTCB units.

Hi guys i would ask your help. I have an Alfa Romeo Giulietta, Installed in the dash a nexus 7 2013 and I want use the steering wheel buttons. The car use the protocol is 15765-4 29bit and I have on Bluetooth obd reader. Can you please help me out? Thanks in advance.

Steering Wheel control app.
I realise that this is a 4 year old thread but did you solve your problem?
Did you set the canbus protocol in Settings/Car/Canbus to your specific car?
I'm having the same problem that my steering wheel app is blank!

Digitalizer not working, use it via pc?

Hello there; I just got a used xperia ZL Broken. Main reason is to change the battery for the one I've got since it has the sudden power off problem, but that's another issue and I'll be posting results, lots of us are waiting for them.
What I want to do here is know if there's a way to use the broken phone vía pc since it's screen is smashed ( 1/4 of the digitalizer is not working, bottom part ) .
Is there any soft or way I can make it use? I since wanna use it as a media player for my TV / Sound system.
Regards!
Bluetooth mouse and keyboard

nice one!, still hard to get there whithout the bottom digitalizer working...
We'll see...
You should be able to access the settings menus from the nonotification panel. And Bluetooth connections are at the top of the menu so you should be ok. Just make sure there aren't a bunch of other Bluetooth devices it can detect, or it might push those accessories to the bottom of the list where the display doesn't work

Notification Task Bar not responding Huifei rk3066

Hi there,
The top of the screen is not responding, the whole task bar doesn't respond to touch.
I have tried factory reset, different ROMs and MCUs but no luck.
I have a huifei kgl-746 rk3066 model... The rest of the screen is perfect...
Latest rom from Malaysk and 2.53 mcu version.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Julian
You ever get this fixed? Same problem with mine, GS unit
No mate, have been searching for a solution but no luck. I have also tried different ROMs and mcus but nothing made a difference.
Using a USB mouse everything works fine, so my gues would be there's something wrong with the touchscreen. Haven't tried to check the ribbon connections on the board.
Hi there,
Any update on a possible solution? Would also replace the display, but have no specs to find a matching one for my KGL..
BEST,
ROB

Door open indicators reversed (My car is RHD) - is there a setting somewhere ?

Sorry - this is my first post which I hope I'm putting in the right area.
I have an Erisin Android 8 unit designed for VW with the custom connector on the back - Installed today.
Most things seem to be working fine but when I open the drivers door (right) the on screen display shows the left door is open (and vice versa). I'm assuming this is because the vehicle is referring to the drivers side and passenger side which the head unit assumes to be in a LHD car.
Is there any way I can convince the head unit that the RIGHT door is open when I open the drivers door ?
Thanks,
Andy

There's an option in the factory settings, I believe it is under "canbus" to switch front doors.

Yes...under factor settings (pass 126 or m126) you will find some options to change if you are lhd or rhd (swapped) under canbus menu

OKNAVI PX5 - Problem with SWC and Bluetooth..

Hi all
I've bought an OKNAVI PX5 4GB A53 Android 9.0 from Aliexpress for my Ford Fiesta from 2013.
MCU is MTCE_HXD_V3.53_1 and I don't know which bluetooth chip is mounted.
I can't get SWC to work at all no matter what I choose in factory settings. OKNAVI says I should choose this: factory setting -126-canbus setting -06 FOCUS(Raise) but it doesn't work. When I try to learn the buttons on the HU, nothing happends. I've tried many settings but nothing works. I'm starting to think it's a connection problem but I'm not smart enough to figure out what is right and what is wrong:silly:
I've attached some pictures so maybe someone can see some issues with the connections.
Problem with bluetooth is that I can't hear anything during calls. Mobile connects fine and I can play music but no sound during calls. I've tried different settings under factory - bluetooth but nothing helps.
Maybe someone is able to help with this.
OKNAVI is trying to help me with my issues, I am in contact with them. But they haven't been able to solve my problems so far.
I've searched this forum for answer but nothing have solved it so far. I'm thinking about installing Hal9_mod_4.0 to see if that will solve my issues but I doubt it will.
Hope someone can help me
That connector was it issue on mine the was a grey to grey connector and a lose purple one the purple one worked and the swc worked after that check they connections and try them all

Change the SWC KEY option to CAN KEY.
Thanks for your reply. Got the swc working after I switched 2 wires after support from the supplier and changed the setting to Can key[emoji2] And bluetooth is also working, how I don't know[emoji848] I've unpaired and paired a couple of times and suddenly it worked[emoji16]

New issue, I've learned the middle swc key the "mode" function and it's working fine, it switches between "FM Radio" & "MUSIC" & "VIDEO" & "ALVIN".
But is it possible to change which programs it switches between??? I would like to use DAB radio and Spotify instead but I can't find where to change that...

Carlinkit A1 tbox problems

Hi,
I purchased a Carlinkit cpc200 tbox November 2021 (great product) and has been working perfectly.
Until this week, when it has stopped booting up. It will get to a black screen with android in the centre, it looks like it frozen but after 30 to 60 seconds turns off and try to reboot, with the same result.
When the unit is powered up there is a solid green and red light, after 15 seconds green light starts flashing,
after 30 to 60 seconds the red light disappears and 15 seconds later green light disappears. It seems as it is
Rebooting again.
I would like some help to fix problem.
Is this a firmware problem.
Short video of what's happening with my Carlinkit A1 tbox,
Problem booting up, anyone have a fix for this issue.

Hi,
I contacted the tech support and have tried to update unit multiple times with no result. As it was working perfectly, it was great but than stopped and now they (tech support) that is a low power issue, not software issue. I've also tried in 4 different vehicles and still not booting and bought new cable (same). Looking for the cable that may be the answer but having trouble finding it.
I am having the same exact issue and getting the runaround from the seller. Anyone have any advice?

Hi, I message Carlinkit support, they still think it's a low power issue, I tried different cable with no result. finally the cable that is shown is now available which should fix problem. I'll let you know if it works. ( I've already bought other cables that don't work )
I just got another AI box from them:
MMB 11 Plus 4+64 G Multimedia Box - Carpaly Ai Box With HDMI Input
MMB Multimedia Video Box 4+64 G with Android 11.0 system ,it has useful funtions : can convert factory wired carplay to a wireless connection and wireless Android auto, and video applications such as youtube, netflix can download in Google store,Screen mirroring for HDMI connector device
carplayaibox.com
I bought this thinking it would probably be buggy and eventually would return it but totally impressed. But this works great. Seems stable so far and allows for many customizations.
The Carlinkitcarplay Box is ok, It took a little time and patience to set up, but once I did, it runs well. Connects to phone immediately once I start my truck.

Hi, I got the same problem and same recommendation from support after 4 mounth of successful opertaion of device. Have you solved your problem? If yes, can you share solution?
A question to users here...

When you're using the android setup, is audio streaming via Bluetooth from your phone sent to the android box then the head unit or bypassed and goes straight to the head unit like factory android auto? Just wondering how much this device compromises audio quality of it's running through multiple sources.
Also, anyone tried rooting this device? Interested in running some audio mods through it like JamesDSP etc
Cheers

I’m my GMC wired CarPlay always had better sound than though GMC Bluetooth. Now that the bt gets passed through the tbox it sounds better. I think the tbox has better bt version since that connection gets routed through wired connection to the truck and sounds as good as wired without tbox.
