Nougat smartphone to RK3188 MTCC bluetooth for calls - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

One last cry for help before I drop-kick my head unit into the lake!
Do you have an MTCB or MTCC RK3188 HU that connects via bluetooth to an android 7.1 (Nougat) smartphone and allows you to make/receive calls via the HU?
If you have, what HU ROM are you using and do you need any additional apps to make it work?
I have an MTCC RK3188 HU which worked perfectly with my Xperia Z3 for calls over bluetooth but I can't get it to work with my Xperia XZ Premium and I've tried loads of ROMS, MCUs and bluetooth/MTC service apps.
Desperate! Help! Please!

I don't have the quad core rk3188, but I have the dual core rk3066 headunit(MTCB-JY). I did sync my nougat phone (Oneplus One on CyanogenMod), and answered a phone call through the stereo. I had my mom call me to test it. She said it sounded like I was far away from the mic (using the built-in mic on the front of the HU),I was less than an arms length away from the HU. 08122014
The headunit is using the stock shipped rom with a build number of 08122014 running 4.4.4, MCU 2.16. I used the Bluetooth app that was installed on the HU to sync the phone and connect the phone to the stereo. I didn't try calling out, but I answered a call using the stereo. The phone played it's ringtone, but the stereo did a normal phone ring.
I did just update my HU using the Malaysk rom build for my stereo and updated my MCU to the highest version. I haven't tested the phone capabilities yet.

FOrd Focus SYNC

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.

Poweramp and px3

Hello there. have a nice day. In my car listening to music with poweramp does not turn off during the phone call with bluetooth. So the music doesn't stop. I have activated the bluetooth option but still continue. I use in the car radio, dasaita px3 and 7.1.2 Android version. v2.95 mcu version.
Hello, I have the same problem as described by you...
Did you find a solution?
solved with new update. I am using the beta version.

Android 6.0 Bluetooth Problem PX5

Hi. I have an old Xtrons headunit, I believe it is MTCD PX5 still running android 6.
When I try to connect an android phone to the bluetooth of the headunit, it only works 50% of the time. The other times I need to restart my car for it to pair. What's interesting is that this problem only occurs when trying to pair an android phone. An iPhone pairs perfectly 100% of the time.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this? I've had this problem for a long time now lol.
Thank you,

PX5 MTCE Hizpo 4Gb RAM 32GB ROM radio app error

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?

Strange No Sound Issue

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
Here you are a complete repository for mtcd units.
Select px5 and android 8 (oreo). Select any manufacturer (all rom are compatible)

Perhaps you need to upgrade your mcu as well.
