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 have aSeicane Pure Android 4.2 Dual-Core unit on my 2004 Mercedes, this unit was working almost good for one year, suddenly one day stopped to works, the only vital sign was the restore page on the display, I tried to contact Seicane for support and they asked me for the software version in order to help me but there was no way to check on Settings-About because the unit was not working but no way to let them to understand this, so I decide to follow some instructions here on the Forum, I tried to install the MTCB-KGL4-V1.99 and everything's (but the microphone on telephone calls) was good, the microphone before was working perfectly, Today I had the insane idea to try a new Firmware/MCU in order to fix the microphone issue, I installed the MTCB-KGL4-V2.02, but microphone issue is still present with the only difference that now the Bluetooth audio is choppy like if my iPhone is far from the car, I tried to reinstall the 1.99, upgrade to MCU_KGL_1_2.55_Sleep_Musik, to return to 1.86 but no way BTaudio is still terrible. what I'm doing wrong?

Hello everyone,
Big thanks to the heavy hitters here that are making these units actually usable!
I received my Dasaita HA5217-V600 two weeks ago and thanks to having previously scoured these forums, I was able to install it, in my 2016 Toyota Corolla, with relative ease. Everything worked better than expected, and I had great bluetooth sound, strong WiFi connections, my door and A/C controls appeared on screen, my SWC all matched and decent FM reception. My bluetooth OBDII adapter is arriving this week so I'll have to report back on that.

My OBDII adapter arrived today and it immediately paired with my HU, and Torque Pro recognized it instantly! I'm thrilled at how easy this was.
For those interested, this is the adapter I purchased:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y6HLRKY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So to recap:
My unit is:
MTCD HA5217-V600
10.2 " PX5 1.6 gHz, Octa-core, 2Gb/32Gb
Malaysk v5 ROM and MCU: MTCE v2.65f
Installed in 2016 Toyota Corolla S (6 speaker audio w/o factory "Entune" navigation system) and Rockford-Fosgate Prime's in both front and back.
SWC = all preprogrammed settings match my OEM settings, although they are unconfigurable.
Bluetooth connections have not yet dropped, volume and clarity are on pair with my previous Pioneer HU
Panel buttons all work and LEDs are configurable
Door and A/C controls all appear on screen.
GPS is fast and seemingly accurate so far. Recognized by every app that has looked for it.
OEM vehicle status listed properly in the 'vehicle' section
Amp/Fader/ViperFX all work as expected
WiFi connections are strong enough for my purpose. I can connect to my home WiFi from inside my garage.
AM/FM Reception and clarity are better than the stock system
Screen is bright and usable and auto-dims with Headlights on
Daylight brightness is a little difficult to see. (Then again I live in Florida and the tropical Sun made even my JVC, and Pioneer HU's difficult to see. Kenwood was the best for this IMHO)
OBDii interfaced paired quickly and easily and has so far stayed connected and recognized by apps
OEM Rear-view camera connects to the system without issue and is much easier to see on a 10" screen. As well as now having several configurable options in the "factory settings"
OEM USB port is recognized as well as the 2 additional USB ports included with the HU.
HOWEVER, the OEM AUX audio port is not usable with this configuration. (or if it is, I haven't figured out how to configure/access it yet)
I do not have a DAB+ or Front Camera, TV tuner/DVR so I do not have any information to share about those.
I tested the A/V in with a portable DVD player and there were no unusual issues there.
Over all I am very happy with this unit and am thrilled that I took the risk investing in it.
One more BIG thanks to everyone here who has helped to make these HU's worth it!
Thanks for the detailed write up. I just ordered mine. Px5 7 inch 2gb ram dasaita. Any tips for a newbie? I've been browsing the forums myself for the past couple of weeks and I'm aware of all the mods and custom ROMs etc. Just asking you if there's maybe any advice you wanna give on how I should proceed with the unit or just generally anything that might help.
Appreciate any reply
I have Dasaita/Hotaudio HA2100-v600 7" device and happy - it works here good!

Hi, I'm a fellow Corolla owner in FL As well!
I just bought a Dasaita PX3 2GB RAM 16GB (Quad core vs your 8 core PX5 due to it being close to $300 flat on an ebay flash sale) and have a question regarding the AUX port, you said the stock USB was retained but not the AUX, is there an aux port on your unit or any way to hook one up?
-Where did you mount the GPS antenna?
-Are you using the stock interface, or have you tried any launchers? I downloaded auto mate and Car Launcher free and so far like Car Launcher's look.
-Anything unusual with your unit?
-Have you tested Waze and Google maps? Do they run stable?
-Does your unit pickup your wifi automatically when you startup the car?
I appreciate your very detailed post as I'm patiently waiting for mines to arrive within the next week.

I have a question regarding the AUX port, you said the stock USB was retained but not the AUX, is there an aux port on your unit or any way to hook one up?
*Sad to say that I have not yet found a way to use the AUX port, but then again I haven't tried very hard.
-Where did you mount the GPS antenna?
*I mounted mine on the passenger side dashboard, as far right and forward as it would go. It blends right in as far as I am concerned.
-Are you using the stock interface, or have you tried any launchers? I downloaded auto mate and Car Launcher free and so far like Car Launcher's look.
*I Bought Car Launcher Pro. By far the best overall. It has been steadily updated, has a great look/feel, easy to modify and the most stable.
-Anything unusual with your unit?
*Nothing that I can think of. I'm still in love with it!
-Have you tested Waze and Google maps? Do they run stable?
*I don't use Google Maps, but I have Waze autostart. I'm dependent upon it now! Lots of threads here about Google Maps not working well.
-Does your unit pickup your wifi automatically when you startup the car?
*as of HA-2.75 it does.
You |may| have to trim a piece or 2 off the bezel to get it to fit perfectly in your dash. I had to cut off 2 tabs on top of my PX5.
Good luck!
I have a similar 9" unit.
Running Malaysk v5 ROM and MTCE v2.71 as the bluetooth for 2.75 didn't work well.
I do have the DAB+ aerial and app and it works ok however mostly I use Google music. I have no problems using Waze or copilot.
What I haven't been able to do is get my reversing camera to show on the screen. I have a wireless version and both halfs have leds that light up when the car is in reverse but no picture regardless of which connection I use.
Also I can't get it to connect to a ELM357 OBD2 dongle.
I've had the unit for 4 months and last week while driving to work the screen went black, the unit was still working it was just the screen. The next time I started the car the screen came back....weird.
Other then this the units ace!

Just to give you a quick update, I received my PX3 unit about a week ago and installed it. At first I encountered one main bug which was that the radio app would go to the background automatically every time I opened it, dasaita sent me the link to the MCU thread and everything updated fixing the issue.
As far as launchers go, I stuck with Car Web Guru for now as it gave the most options on a free basis to experiment with different themes.
The only thing I've noticed is that the backup camera image is a little laggy but nothing to die for.
The only thing I'm still trying to figure out is how to get my wifi hotspot to start automatically (Note 8) when connected to CAR KIT, I tried tasker but it says unable for my device.
I love this HU! and Dasaita on ebay has been very responsive.

Hello I have bought a Dasaita HA2039-S720 for Mitsubishi Outlander 2014. I have the same Issue with my Radio App. Everytime I open it, it goes in background. Kill it with the Task Manager can't stop the Music. I have to reboot the Device. I have MCU Version MTCE_HA_V2.75.1 and ROM px3-userdebug 7.1.2NHG47L eng.hct.20171206.143935 test-keys.
Did a system update realy fix your Problem? I noticed that this happend every time a station is scanned and saved. Delete the Cache and Programm Data from Radio App in the App section fixed the issue but you have no music then but white noise.
I have some Issues with apps in general. Sometimes Apps are crashing and did not load properly and stuck while loading.
My OEM Rear CAM Image is laggy and not very smooth too.
Today I tried to update die Rom with this Version HCT2_px3_7.1(20180206) but it failed. Don't know if it's the right one. The Device found this Image and promptet me to update. After a short loading screen a Faild message appeared on the screen and it showed an options screen. I inserted another SD CARD with the image of the update and choosed "update from SD or USB" but it failed again so I rebooted the system. I choose swipe in the beginning and after a reboot the system was in factory condition.
But can anybody explain me what went wrong and how to properly make a Rom and MCU update.
Thanx
Hey guys I just wanted to become a part of this I just purchased and installed this type radio along with the Bluetooth adapter for the cars computer. Hopefully I will soon get the ATSC digital antenna so I can watch TV when my wife goes in to shop for something that will supposedly: "only take a minute." I have to say the install was incredibly easy. Everything works very well and sounded great connected to my factory system of the 2013 Kia Optima. I did use the radio's subwoofer output and added a 300 watt powered Rockford Fosgate subwoofer. It all sounds amazing together. I attached two photos of the type of radio I purchased (or tried to. Kinda new here).

I am looking at one of these model for my Ford Focus, but can anyone tell me if it come with a separate canbus?? The only reason I am asking is that I have the V840-8 which doesn’t.... unfortunately it only has a prgramable key control, which doesn’t always work...
Many thanks for anyone that can help

My Dasaita PX5 4/32 unit (MCU version 2.88) turns completely off in 30 seconds (lowest preset in system settings) after turning the ignition off.
When turning the ignition on the unit is starting up behind the scenes. When you press power it's already half way in the booting process or even done depending on how quick you switch the unit on.
I'd say about 15 seconds to boot up. This is with a DAB+ unit and USB stick attached.
If you want instant on (e.g. when shopping for an hour or doing multiple deliveries), you can play with the different off time presets in the system settings.

How good is the microphone performance? I have an old android headunit that I could never get mics to work properly on. Voice calls and "Okay Google" is important for me when I upgrade.

It's an MTCD - they're pretty much all the same.
For best peformance on this platform, use an external mic, which may require the internal disconnected.

Sorry, I'm just curious as I just got one for my car installed... but the internal microphone performance is horrible. The box came w/ an external microphone, but is there something i need to do to disable the internal microphone?

Like any MTCD unit, first boot is approx 15-20 secs, with the unit sleeping thereafter resulting in 'instant' resume.

So, since I got my 3xl in October, the audio information would not show in my truck. A person on here showed me the dev settings to make this work back in like December or January (out of the box settings do NOT work though, which is ridiculous). And it did, at least until the February patch. Now it works sometimes, others it either doesn't show, or shows the info from the first song indefinitely. Also, when I first got it, there was no skipping (like my 2xl did the entire time I had it), after the November update, it skips... Is anyone else having any of these issues? I've messed around with the Bluetooth settings in dev options, and nothing seems to work for long. This is super annoying. I have an hour round trip commute, and I drive a lot otherwise, so, being able to see what's playing is important.
How does Google mess up Bluetooth so bad anyway? I've had like 6 other Android phones, and NONE of them ever had stupid issues. Seems like Google needs to hire some better engineers for dealing with it.
I'm sorry to hear you're having this experience. I've never had a single Bluetooth problem.
I have not so good experience with Bluetooth as well. Sometimes my Samsung gear S3 doesn't auto connect. I need to go into settings.
Bluetooth is crap on this phone totally agree otherwise good phone but disappointed in bt performance
I actually did a factory reset when the January patch came out even. Didn't fix it at all.
What developer settings are you talking about? I haven't had any real bluetooth issues, BUT, almost all of my recent flagships have had audio delay issues through bluetooth. It's not a lot, but it's annoying watching Youtube with about a second delay.

Bluetooth AVRCP version. You can change which version it uses. It's kind of a trial and error but sometimes you get lucky and find that a different version works better with some of your Bluetooth devices.

Hm, I'll have to try that tomorrow with the car and see if I still have a delay, that would be awesome to fix. It is a 2013 so it's using old tech
What kind of head unit are you talking about in your car? Some specs there might be helpful to determine if this is a phone specific issue or has to do with your car's stereo itself. Reason I say this is my old Kenwood KDX-897 receiver in my truck started acting up with Bluetooth and I was able to confirm it's the receiver itself that's having issues not my phone. Not surprising considering the unit is probably about 5 years old now from when I bought it new. You may want to look into updating your receivers firmware which may solve this issue (if possible) or looking at a new head unit. Just some food for thought.

It's the stock 2018 Nissan Pathfinder head unit. I did not have the info not showing problem with my 2xl with the same SUV. I'll check if there's an update when I have it in the shop in a couple weeks. It DID work fine though before the Feb. update. I did have to change the dev settings though, as I said, out of the box did not work... The cutting out seems to have gone away, at least for now, so, that's an improvement. Hopefully, the March patch fixes the other issue.
Also, there is not cutting out that I've heard ever on my Bluetooth speaker. Obviously, it does not show audio info.

I have the same issue on my 2011 Mazda 3, though my OnePlus 6 works with it fine. Of course, the OP6 can't connect to by earbuds, so there is that. Audio does seem to be working fine, no drop outs or anything, but that track info seems to be gone for good. None of the AVCRP options worked for me beyond 1-2 songs either. Though, in my case, it's been that way since Marshmallow - I've always kind of assumed it was the updated BTs, they're backwards compatible for the audio, but not for the track info it seems. Once we hit 4.0 it dropped out (again except the OP6).

I should also add, my wife's Moto Z2 Force has ZERO issues with my Pathfinder. It shows info always, no cutouts, nothing at all, and out of box Bluetooth settings. I really doubt it's my SUV's head unit. It also has Bluetooth 5.
the weirdest things happen to me with bluetooth.. even on the latest update.. i'll be streaming to my wireless jabra's and all of a sudden music stops. it's not disconnected. music didn't pause but it isn't playing either, i have to start the track over, doesn't happen otherwise .
PS it happens the same to my bluetooth speaker
almost same here with latest updates.

I can definitely confirm the Feb. update didn't fix my problem. I even removed the phone from my car and vice versa, nada. I just cleared data from YouTube music then reinstalled. I'm going to see what that does. If nothing, I give up. This is seriously going to become a deal breaker if they can't make their sh$t work right... Music is what I use this phone the most for.

Sooo, I cleared the data and reinstalled YouTube music. It seemed to work, even so I was able to put Bluetooth on the out of box settings (codec). Or, so I thought... It worked for two days then out of nowhere it won't show the info at all again, no matter what I change the settings to... I've reconnected and reinstalled again. Nothing. This is effing ridiculous. $950 phone and Bluetooth, which has been out since the mid 2000's, won't work right. This is really starting to sway me towards looking for a different phone. If I can find a stock Android one that releases updates within 30 days or so anyway. Ugh

It's the stock 2018 Nissan Pathfinder head unit. I did not have the info not showing problem with my 2xl with the same SUV. I'll check if there's an update when I have it in the shop in a couple weeks. It DID work fine though before the Feb. update. I did have to change the dev settings though, as I said, out of the box did not work... The cutting out seems to have gone away, at least for now, so, that's an improvement. Hopefully, the March patch fixes the other issue.
Also, there is not cutting out that I've heard ever on my Bluetooth speaker. Obviously, it does not show audio info.

I have a 2018 Pathfinder work a pixel 3 xl too. I do have strange Bluetooth issues too. However I blame the Pathfinder because when I use my Jabra Bluetooth receiver and my motion66 Bluetooth earphones the Pathfinder is the only way that is wonky.
The worst thing with the Pathfinder is the delay. I think it buffers the audio for me so everything is delayed. I push play/pause on the Pathfinder and there is a several second delay. Additionally when streaming YouTube and audio through Pathfinder there is a delay.

Mine seems to work with my Plantronics headphones and my Anker speaker fine also. Thing is though, this was not a problem with my 2xl. It cut out a bit, but always showed the info and no delay. My 3xl stopped cutting out with the Feb update, but the audio info is all over the place. It's currently back. It'll start being crazy again I'm sure. I'm not sure I can blame my Pathfinder though? I will try with my wife's Mazda 3 (2016) to see what happens there. My wife's Moto Z2 Force works perfectly with my Pathfinder BTW.
I tried to see if anyone posted a similar question but haven't found anything. Is anyone else having issues with their Pixel 6 Pro while connected to Android Auto? I have 3 issues that are bugging the crap out of me.
1. Every time I connect my phone to the car, it always pops up asking permission to connect to this "new" uConnect device. Its been connected hundreds of times, and even adding it as a trusted device, it still pops up.
2. The sound quality is absolute garbage. Its muddy and heavy on the mid level. I have tried to compensate by adjusting the EQ in the head-unit, and Spotify. It helps, but not much. I have tried my old Note 10+ and the quality is perfect.
3. Often when receiving a phone call, I can answer and control the call using the head-unit, but the audio is going to the phone and not the car speakers.
I have been able to replicate this with both of our Pixel 6 Pro's, and in both of our vehicles (2019 Durango R/T, and 2020 RAM 2500)
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: this is wired using different cords for troubleshooting purposes.
I have none of those issues but my issue with aa is that it keeps turning off preview incoming message
Issue #3 I do get from time to time. Annoying AF. Also trusted device only last 4 hours I believe which I think is ridiculous.
imo... Spotify always sounds like crap.
Haven't had any of these issues at all. Everything works well for me on the December update.
I have none of these issues, but the issue I get is specific to Google Maps on Android Auto. When I'm navigating somewhere, often at the start of the trip Google Maps cannot get a GPS lock on me and the map skips all over the place, constantly rerouting me. After I continue to drive I eventually will get GPS lock and then everything works fine.
Using Waze on Android Auto, everything works fine. I get GPS lock instantly when I switch to the Waze app on Android Auto. So all I can conclude is the issue is specific to Google Maps... It's not that big of a deal but can be very annoying.
Edit: I'm on wireless with a Pioneer AVH deck.
My wifes Pixel 6 works fine apart from the battery icon constantly flashing on and off (on the car display)
I don't have any issues with Android Auto in my 2020 Subaru, and neither does my wife.
No, I don't have these issues either. Working fine for me on Lexus NX.
Edit: "wired" that is (to be clear).
I am not seeing any issues in my 2020 Kia Soul. I use the wireless android auto adapter (AAWireless from Indiegogo) so I do not have to plug it in though.
Could your uConnect system need an update? You can check here for one: https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/software-update.html

Great Idea, unfortunately they are already up to date on the software. That AAWireless thing is pretty cool, but plugging it in doesn't bother me that much, plus I know its charging.

I always have issues with cables that keep disconnecting and have to unplug and re-plug in (both my car & my wife's 2016 Hyundai Sonata). The AAWireless is very handy in that regards. It will occasionally freeze up, but very rarely after a few OTAs ago. The only downside that I have found is that if you get too close to the vehicle with BT Headphones (mowing or other yardwork typically), it will connect to the AAWireless and cut off audio to the BT Headphones. I just unplug the AAWireless from the car until I am done then.
I should mention all my issues only occur when I'm wireless in my car. When I use wired in my friends car, it works fine.

Personally, I do not have an Android Auto enabled car.
I can tell though that there were numerous reports in the past (XDA, Reddit, Discord, Telegram) of people having problems with Android Auto. Now the problem with that, is...
a) Android Auto has always been buggy - even with cable. I have friends that have been trying to get Android Auto to reliably work with their Samsungs (cable) for years, and their attempt are still a work in progress. It's a hit-and-miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
b) Android 12 is extra buggy and has been known to cause problems with Android Auto (reports of Samsung owners upgrading to A12)
c) Pixel 6 Pro is extra special buggy and it's more or less unknown at this point, if Android Auto issues are caused by Auto Auto being a buggy mess, Android 12 being a buggy mess, Pixel 6 being a buggy mess or a culmination of the three together.
d) Plus, there is a massive difference in reliability between Android auto cable vs. wireless.
I did see some workarounds floating in the web, you might be able to find them in Reddits GooglePixel group.
In the end though, your best bet (longterm) would probably be: Go into settings, report the problem directly to Google and make sure that all your friends and family that also use Android Auto do the same.
