Hi,
anybody here have a Ford Focus working fine using the SYNC application to works with the FORD original SYNC.
I insert a new ROm from here ( update_4_4_4_1024X600_RK3188_11_MAL_25_12_2015) but the SYNC still all in chinese and i dont know how to change it to portuguese or english
I also dont hear nothing. Perhaps the application is directed to another sound output ...
Any help is apreciated.
Kind Regards
Franc
I am having the same issue!
I have a Ford Focus and a KLD RK3066 unit. I've updated my HU many times, using more than 5 different firmwares and every time the SYNC app is MUTED. There must be something wrong with the sound output, as mentioned!!
NOTE FOR NON FORD OWNERS: SYNC is a hardware (that is controlled by the HU in an app with the same name) that comes with the car that controls native bluetooth calling and music playing. It can be used together with the HU, using the car's much better microphone and USB connector. Losing this function is really bad for a Ford owner.
Please some help!
Thanks

You can ask the seller if the HU can support the SYNC.

It does actually! There's even an app that comes in the Android called SYNC, which displays all SYNC information (and it works, but sadly somehow is muted and i can't figure out how to fix it's sound)

hi, Im also a ford focus owner and i have rk3188 HU (KGL5) you should check in the factory settings the CANbus option. My sync apk works great (spanish) and sounds a little bit lower than the HU sound, so try to max the vol (maybe it is, sometimes if im at level 9 sound i cant hear it, i usually place at 20 vol level). I´ve used some malaksys ROM and i had no problem, and today i upgraded the MCU and still works. Now im having some FC but i think with a factory reset it will solve. The app also works with steering wheel controls, (if a press the SYNC key in it calls the app)
Hi, i have a Erisin ES2301F (1024x600 Rk3188 KGL) with a Ford Kuga MK1 (2009). CanBus module HW 1.0 FW 2.0. In Factory Menu (126) i put Focus-Modeo-Explorer (Simple) but SYNC doesn't work. How can i made it doing something...
In the past i had a Sony CD6000 BT, and i removed only the head unit ( i leave the BT module connected and it seem still powered) but the SYNC app doesn't do anything. I connect the cell with BT of the headunit, or i have to do a new search? I don't see any BT source than the one of the Erisin.
Add:
The question is: maybe with another ROM, i could view which door is opened, what temperature i have set in the climatronic and so on? I'm sure those signals are on canbus of my car (Kuga Titanium) 'cause i read on the cluster of the display of the car, and i see some chinese radio that showing those info. One for all is the Joying.
If those info will pass on the radio, also SYNC should works, 'cause in the electric diagram original mic and original BT are on canbus, all connected directly to GEM.
So, OR the decode module don't works..... or the MCU is so different that doesn't capture those signal.
Someone have the answer?
I have a Ford Escape but I have not figured out how to wire in my canbus to this radio (I have a joying). Can someone point me to the right direction?

Hi,
first, try to set Ford Focus Raise in factory canbus setting.
second, check if you have connected AUX L and AUX R cinches to corresponding ones (auxL to Aux L and aux R to aux R) in your harness.
I have so in my Focus and SYNC is ok, but the layout and maintenance of the app is horrible.

What are the AUXL and AUX R cinches?? In the quadlock Ford , i have CAN L e CAN H connected to Quadlock of the radio, then they go to decoder box and returned on the radio into the special connector.
in my case - as in uploaded photo, nr 2, white and red chinches
In my case is total differenti. I have only the quadlock . all signals coming from there. No RCA chinches. Maybe you have a focus 3 (2012+). My canbus decoder has only one connector
I think my Escape (2011) with SYNC isn't supported at all. I cant find any wiring harness that works with Joying. I know where my Canbus wires are and could splice them in but I can't even find a generic canbus joying harness.

[PX5] Dasaita Head Unit or Peugeot 208 - 2014 - Radio & Steering Wheel not working
Hello all, I have an issue with my Android Head Unity for my Peugeot 208 from 2014. I have installed and attached everything accordingly and everything is (almost) working perfectly. Except for two issues...
Steering Wheel Study not working
None of my Steering Wheel keys are working currently. I have checked if the correct Canbus-option is selected in the settings (according to the seller it's the correct one), but I still have some cables hanging loose from the back of the head unity (KEY1 & KEY2), do I need to plug these into the canbus decoder, or just keep them hanging loose?
Radio FM not working great...
I got the radio working, but sadly, the connection/signal is static/bad. I have tried connected the antenna/radio cable to the white and/or blue connecters that fit from my car, but both should be connected I guess... But I only have one cable that fits it from my android head unit.
Hopefully someone can help me out... Since the guide from the seller is not helping at all...

Hi! I have a Peugeot wir PX5 too. From what i know the canbus is the only thing you need to connect. So when the canbus is connected, you don't need to connect the KEY1 and KEY2.
The FM is working great by my head unit. Maybe you need to go to the factory settings and change the settings for canbus and for fm ?

Thanks for the reply.. Sadly the seller is only responding with: "Connect key1 and key2 to your car wiring"... But I can't even find which wires are supposedly are the keys on my steering wheel, hehe. So I'm stuck! Thankfully, they're sending a replacement canbus, hopefully that one will do the trick.
Hi everyone - a little desperate here. I have a Dasaita 10.2" Android 8.0, Octa Core 4GB+32GB in my Jeep Wrangler. Amazing unit overall but the amplifier app doesn’t seem to give me any EQ, Balance/Fade or Subwoofer control. If I move the sliders around nothing happens to the sound. I reached out to Dasaita and the response was that I cannot use an aftermarket amp with this unit - doesn’t that seem absurd? I would think the RCA outputs could output to any amp. Really hoping someone has has experience with this... thanks!!

My RCA outputs work fine though as previously pointed out the Fader and EQ controls seem to have no effect. You can use a music player like PowerAmp which has its own EQ controls to get around it... I've reached out to Dasaita to see what's going on...
I have a similar unit from dasaita, nissan murano.
I am using RCA to my amp, and the built in equalizer and loudness work fine.
The only issue is I am hearing a small static noise when no music is playing.
Change canbus settings
I just installed the v840 7in version in my jk last week on 8/5/18. First thing I did was check how itsounds. Went to the EQ and did not work no setting made any sound change and the fader did not work. My heart fell out and I was ready to send it back.
I went ahead and updated the system files to the most recent but did not change anything with the eq or fader. I then recalled discussion on Jeep forum to change the canbus settings. When I went in the settings it was Jeep 46 I changed it to Jeep 78 and voila EQ works and also the fader although the fade is reversed which I already knew was an issue. Only difference is I don't have an amplifier so I cannot verify that issue although others have amps working fine with full eq functionality.
RESOLVED: Dasaita fader/EQ control w/ external amps
More from jeep forum
For those reporting issues with built in EQ and fader controls on Dasaita PX5 Octacore units not working with aftermarket amplification I figured out the settings....
blocked image
Open up system settings and navigate to "CAR" and then "Factory Settings"

Enter the Password '126' to get you into the Factory menu. Navigate to the "CanBus" tab:

Change the selection under Amplifier from "With amplifier" to "Without amplifier", click [APPLY] followed by [EXIT] and let the system reboot.

Thanks for the info, It works for me, but the bigger problem is, the factory alpine amp don't seems to work, no bass at all.
I have checked every jk forum i can find but no solution. ppl mentioned Pac canbus a lot. but I prefer the unit work it self out.

I dont have a jeep, but there is a similar issue with the tundras, if they were using the stock amp they needed to have a CANbus decoder to utilize the factory amp some units have them already installed some don't.

Thanks, guess I will have to cut off the garbage they provided and rewire the harness.
I got this Disaita for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler JKU with the factory alpine sub/amp. The sound works great. It's true you can't control the fade/balance of it because the jeep's computer is controlling it. I know the OP has an aftermarket one, but that could be what Disaita thinks you are talking about. The included canbus, wiring harness, etc all worked out of the box.

2012 FJ Cruiser install here. Same issue. I changed the factory canbus settings, but don’t understand the options. I am getting rear sub output but no fade control at all. I don’t know enough to retire it all, nor do I have the time or patience.
Hi

https://es.aliexpress.com/item/Isud...452.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.215563c05GDxho

Since a month ago, I´m trying to resolve my problem. Only 50% buttons swc are working:
My android radio has canbus box. I have accessed and configured canbus in "factory settings tap" but my problem continue ( by default canbus wasn´t configured ).
The app to remap the buttons does not detect any button on the steering wheel, it only shows "Reset" and "Save" but I can not do anything with it.
I have reading a lot of post... Is possible that I need to connect wire Key1 and wire Key2? How should I connect "key1" and "key2"? Could it be the solution?
Any kind of help is welcome. Thank you very much

Check that allí connectors from/to canbus and to the headunit are well connected (sometimes they require some force press to really be plugged)
On the link you provided there is a guy that commented that everything worked as expected including the SWC so....if you can't fix it contact your seller for support

On 1st photo the 3 "red" buttons are only working with the "original" factory installed "blue&Me" equipment, no other hardware can use or decode them.
On 2nd photo the 2 "red" button are only working with the original factory installed "blue&Me" equipment ad use to switch information on Factory Magneti Marelli multimedia/navigation unit during calls, with standard "simply" Alfa Romeo car stereo they are only working on charging disc from official CD Charger; no other hardware can use or decode them.
On some cases "non standard hard coded manufacturer swc" have funny responses; in my case Voice command button open the app carousel in my HU and the Open/close a phone call button activate the Mute function.
Check you Alfa Romeo Use and Maintenance Guide and Blue&Me User manual thaere was all the info provided by me.
So the other SWC are working like expected!

I dont think it will make any difference, there is a way that MTCDTools can remap SWC on cars with CAN Bus, @ikerg can tell you how to do it or what thread its in.

Found said posts and they were for car which communicate with resistive signals via canbus (or something ), so wiring the canbus from car harness directly to key1/2 gives access to the buttons.
If Alfa uses no resistive signals, you wont get away with this.
GM cars like mine have the buttons via hardcoded addresses via canbus and you can only try to find those codes in android or mod MCU profile it seems... too nub to do so in my case.. trying hard

Theyre not the posts I was talking about - pretty certain theres a way to programme CAN Bus SWC.
Alfa 159s have CAN Bus SWC.
I've had a similar problem with my Alfa 159 when I installed a PX3 unit. However, for me all the SWC buttons except the centre button on the left set work (i.e. pic 1) and only the left and right SWC buttons on the right set (i.e. pic 2). It is weird as the buttons that do not work mimic the other buttons for some reason so it's like crossing of signals or decoding it wrong.
As I didn't find anyone else having a problem I assumed it was either the CAN bus decoder (I opened it up and flipped switch 4 which helped I think but maybe it isn't suitable?) or the connection behind the steering wheel is loose. I haven't got round to checking the connection (apparently it's simple to open) as I can still control most things.
BTW, my car had the blue&me installed from factory.
SWC on Alfa Romeo 159
H all, I just installed a new Android head unit in my Alfa Romeo 159 SW (2006) and all the SWC's work and I can map them from the app. Below I will explain how I did it, hope this will help.
My head unit:
Xtrons TE706PL
PX 5 octacore 4GB 32BG Android 8
My car:
Alfa Romeo 159 SW
Upgraded from original radio (so not the navigation unit)
My car did not have Blue&Me
Required hardware:
Dedicated CANBUS adapter
Connect2 (company that make it) CTSAR002.2 (product number)
Patch lead to go with canbus adapter
Connect2 (company that make it) CTMULTILEAD.2 (product number)
I ordered both from Amazon Germany from seller NIQ. The patch lead was included with the CANBUS adapter, just make sure to select the correct one meant for Chinese head units. Price was 60 euros.
Installation
The CANBUS adapter is connected between the original car connections and the head unit. This looks confusing at first (it has connections on three sides), but in the end everything only fits one way. On one side connect the patch lead, on the other side it is connected to the head unit and on the last side it is connected to the original car plugs. All these connections are very simple with plugs that only fit one way. (I did need quite some force to push in the 2 of the 3 original plugs into the CANBUS adapter)
As mentioned, the patch lead is connected to the CANBUS adapter on one side. On the other side you need to connect it to the KEY 1, KEY 2 and GROUND wire coming from the head unit. This was the only connection that is not made with plugs, so either crimp them together (which I did, very simple, but you need a crimping tool), solder them, or make another good wire to wire connection.
Important notes:
The connection need to be made in a specific order!
First connect KEY 1, KEY 2 and GRND wires
Second connect the CANBUS adapter to the head unit
Last step is to connect the CANBUS adapter to the car connections
My car did not have Blue&Me, so I don't know if this changes anything. I think I read somewhere you can just leave it in the car and not connect it. But maybe do a little research.
All this is also specified in the manuals provided with the products. Connects2 has some nice youtube videos on the CANBUS adapters, just google them.
I did quite some research myself before I figured it out, but now all is installed and working perfectly! I reprogrammed all the keys to my own preferences, including google assistant speech activation button.
Hope this helps!

Upgraded from original radio (so not the navigation unit)
My car did not have Blue&Me
Required hardware:
Dedicated CANBUS adapter
Connect2 (company that make it) CTSAR002.2 (product number)
Patch lead to go with canbus adapter
Connect2 (company that make it) CTMULTILEAD.2 (product number)
I ordered both from Amazon Germany from seller NIQ. The patch lead was included with the CANBUS adapter, just make sure to select the correct one meant for Chinese head units. Price was 60 euros.
Installation
The CANBUS adapter is connected between the original car connections and the head unit. This looks confusing at first (it has connections on three sides), but in the end everything only fits one way. On one side connect the patch lead, on the other side it is connected to the head unit and on the last side it is connected to the original car plugs. All these connections are very simple with plugs that only fit one way. (I did need quite some force to push in the 2 of the 3 original plugs into the CANBUS adapter)
As mentioned, the patch lead is connected to the CANBUS adapter on one side. On the other side you need to connect it to the KEY 1, KEY 2 and GROUND wire coming from the head unit. This was the only connection that is not made with plugs, so either crimp them together (which I did, very simple, but you need a crimping tool), solder them, or make another good wire to wire connection.
Important notes:
The connection need to be made in a specific order!
First connect KEY 1, KEY 2 and GRND wires
Second connect the CANBUS adapter to the head unit
Last step is to connect the CANBUS adapter to the car connections
My car did not have Blue&Me, so I don't know if this changes anything. I think I read somewhere you can just leave it in the car and not connect it. But maybe do a little research.
All this is also specified in the manuals provided with the products. Connects2 has some nice youtube videos on the CANBUS adapters, just google them.
I did quite some research myself before I figured it out, but now all is installed and working perfectly! I reprogrammed all the keys to my own preferences, including google assistant speech activation button.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info, but what unit do you have ? - "TE706PL" is a made up name, your MCU will tell us what unit it is, I m guessing a GS ?

Sorry, I was not near my car, so couldn't find my MCU version. But here it is:
MTCE_GS_V2.88_3

I have a PX5 and have the same issue.
I see people talking about their chinesses mtcd/e read all the can protocols (open doors, all the swc, radio info to main pannel...)
Talking to my seller, he told me that may be the can decoder. Offers me a refund but I want one that works 100%.
¿Someone have the full functional decoder?

More likely that its just not supported, some cars have even less support.

That's what Im trying to find, a canbus decoder with more options.
I had the alfa 159 android 5.1 unit and It shows temperature, doors and full keys function. I upgraded to a new unit android 7.1 and now I haven't temperature, doors and only half of keys are working.
Hi guys, hoping you can assist...I've had an Xtrons unit installed in my Audi TT for about a year now. One day as I was driving, I was listening to music from my phone via A2DP. Midway I switched my phone to my bluetooth headphones so I could listen on those in one ear. It seems the phone stayed paired to the head unit but the music was coming through the earpiece fine, no sound off the headunit.
Ever since that day, I've had no sound coming out of the head unit at all. I've done a factory reset, unpaired any bluetooth devices, and just tried listening to radio, but no sound comes out at all. I thought maybe the amp fuse was blown so checked that and it isnt that. I've pulled the unit forward and no cables are loose
I've contacted Xtrons to try and see if there's a new firmware in the hope that will fix it. My current build is shown below.
px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.hct.20181206.171300 test-keys
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm hoping its a software issue and something didnt blow inside the unit itself. Everything else works fine, just no sound
