Anyone Successfully Link Google "Start Driving" to Navigation Button? - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

I've searched high and low but haven't come across a solution. I have an Xtrons PX5 in Jeep Wrangler running Malysk's 8.0 ROM without issue. My radio has a physical "Navigation" button that I would like to have linked to Google Maps "Driving Mode". Linking maps to this button now opens maps but I then have to navigate to "Start Driving" to get the navigating view. Google Maps will let me create a shortcut to this mode that can be placed on the home screen but because it is a link and not an application, I cannot bind it to the physical button. Has anyone been able to accomplish this by chance? Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Remap phone buttons

Hi all
I need some help locating a small program that enabled you to remap the send and recieve hardware buttons, I wanted to remap the buttons so they do what it says on WM2005 lower screen.
I saw the program a while ago but I have no idea what it was called to do a search.
Any help would be good.

Navigator jacked home button....please help!!!

Hello, thanks in AdVance for any help.
I searched the net and only a few people have had this problem, but both mine and my wife's phone got the problem within 2 days
The problem started when you push the home button it would go to the navigator program instead home with sense ui. It loads that page with icons such as: footprint, navigation, voice search etc instead of going to the home screen.
I tried fixing the problem by deleting defaults in the sense ui and cleared the cache and data. Now it no longer loads home page or the navigator program.
I tried installing an alternate home page such as launcherpro but that is not able to take over use of the home button.
What happens now when I push the home button when in a program it seems to just reload the screen with the same program that's running. The only way that I can get to the home page is by continually pushing the back screen. Please help, because this is making the phone very difficult to use.
Thanks

Odd. I think you can fix it like this:
Go to Settings.
Go to Applications.
Open up Manage Applications.
Look for the navigation program in question and select it.
Now there should be a section labeled "Launch by default" or something similar. Hit the "Clear defaults" button.
I hope this works.

front buttons wont work

i have a px5 mtcd kld i was trying to get my steering wheel controls to work and now the power, home, back, vol up and vol down buttons dont work anymore. i reloaded android and mcu with no luck i just did a factory reset that didnt help either. does anyone know how to set these buttons up again in the factory settings. the radio is for a 2016 wrx from subispeed if that helps. i was in the key study screen and might have hit some buttons i shouldnt have.

Go to Settings -> Factory settings (password 126)
Open the "Key Study" tab
Tap "touch key study"
The screen will turn black with a "+1" on top right and "+2" label on bottom right
First tap on the "+1" then on "+2" with your finger, this is calibrating the screen; if you mess up here your screen touch coordinates will be out of sync with your screen. If you manage to mess up here it's easiest to connect a USB mouse and re-enter the key study menu.
On the next screen tap any of the touch buttons, you're then asked to assign functions to it, pretty much the same as for steering wheel control key study
Hit "Save and Exit" when done
Note: You can assign long- and short press actions to the soft-touch buttons this way. As you got a KLD unit (likely the same apex unit for my Subaru as for yours which is a KLD MTCD unit) you can also map one of the buttons to "screen off" which just turns off the screen backlight. Very handy during night driving. Look for the screen icon with an 'x' inside. I personally assigned screen-off to the power button and shutdown to the power button long press. Also I assigned mute to the back-button long-press action.
Btw. you can upgrade the MCU to latest KLD found here. I am running MTCE KLD 2.73 currently without issues. Version 2.78 runs on my KLD test unit here without issues too. Make sure to export the MCU settings in factory settings before performing MCU upgrade and/or note down all your values (make screenshots).
You are a life saver thank you so much.
i have a problem with my headunits right knob. Left one works but right one no response. i am trying to assign but nothing happening. Can anybody help
i have the same unit and some of my steering wheel control doesn't work help please!
Have the same issue on my Xtron TB706PL, unable to use the front buttons. When I go to Key Study, I press the buttons but nothing happens. Have tried resetting key study and still nothing is working. Neither of all 4 buttons are working, have factory reset and tried reverting to factory MTCD-GS-2.56, still no go. Am not using the steering wheel function control either. Any ideas?

I have the same unit as you, and the same problem. Did you ever solve it? @Aetheric
Any update on that one?
Mine not working. I have PX5 MTCE GS version.
What problem may be?
Key studies not work.
Left side buttons stopped working.. PX5 MTCD GS
Can't associate them from the factory settings!!
Associating works only with the right side..
I tried to update the mcu.img and the dmcu.cfg files ..
I tried another ROM..
With no success..
The solution is so simple..
If the unit is not learning the buttons in the left side..
It's simply because the soldering points internally are broken.. just unscrew the LCD panel and you will find that the right side keys soldering is totally far away from the contacts..
Notice that its very difficult to do the job without the heating gun.. and you should verify that the lower lines are still intact.. other wise you need jumpers from the right side .. I mean from the buttons in the right side...
I make some pictures but I don't find a way to attach them here... which I will do later some how..
By the way.. the broken contacts are studied from the factory to be broken from the heat and from the spring down the board pushing it up.. to cause that problem..
Also .. my unit.. needs the volume up down button to get to recovery mode... so it will make it more difficult for you to reach the recovery mode since the volume button is not available... except if you use the (hal9k) sd bootable card... it's your only chance to reach the recovery mode...
I took the risk to transform my unit to a brick.. trying software updates.. while it was only a hardware problem.
Don't waste time .. if one side is not learning..
Don't miss with the software.. it's not the mcu version..
It's the HARDWARE..
Don't forget to reset panel keys from the factory settings.. or you can use the learn feature if you don't want the standard functionality.
If you felt this info helpful.. please let me know..

I think we need a page to share the dmcu.cfg files to resolve this problem..

This is a feature of these 'quality' units. Reset and/or disconnect power to head unit for 1 minute. Thanks alot, welcome.
I resolved my problem
If you don't want to fix the Chinese products..
You will live without tech..
Or
You will spend 1/3 of your income.. paying new products.
It's your choice..

Suggest removing all power from unit for 10 mins. Import is by recovery menu - MCU, but try power off first.
I have more complex problem and have solve it by replacing MCU (STM32)
I dont think you will be this same unlucky SO in settings is flash mcu with cfg file so do it.

Hi, I think I have the same problem with you. I flashed a ''newer'' MCU than the one I had on my HU and after that the keys stopped working.
I found 5-6 other MCU files and tried them all but it did not fix the problem.
The thing is that when I try to re-program the keys from settings it does not seem to save the process...
Can you please send me the mcu with cfg file that you used and fixed it?
Thanks
What I download you can find on 2nd post in this thread.
I bought chip from i think amazon. For around 6$.
Regards

Hello All who's struggled with being a Seicane H2 Android Radio......
Not sure if you guys figured this out yet
But it's for the H2 headunit version.
I have it in my WRX!
Just as one user stated after you do your touch panel recalibration for the touch screen (pressing +1 and +2), you'll get this screen:
Press OK!!!
Now stop, breathe and pay attention to your next screen: which should look similar to this:
Touch key Study for the radio Panel buttons start HERE!!! Do not press the steering wheel keys, but instead start pressing your front panel keys:
After setting the Power, Reset, Home, volume +\- (or long press secondary if you have a certain preference), then your screen should come to be filled with your selections like so:
Then from here you must hit save and THEN CONFIRM THE CHANGES ON THE NEXT SCREEN when it asks you!
Now your panel buttons should function as they should! I know it's a late post to and old thread but I'm sure there are some out there that are still searching for solutions and or new android head unit users such as myself that could use detailed help!
Sincerely,
StiRan83

*****Solved***** for me.
Went into the factory settings enter password
Mine is 1234 others maybe 8888
and use the “knob panel button learning” even though my unit has buttons and not knobs. Party control learning is for the steering wheel buttons on this unit.
Of course it all started when I was messing with the steering wheel controls trying to get those to work and the panel buttons did not work anymore no matter how many times you press.
So you do not need to do any configurations resets as this literally took moments and you also can configure short and long press of the same button to end up with eight functions as opposed to only four.
I know this is a late reply but I thought it’s good that it’s out in the forum to help others if you have the same/similar head unit

Its possible to Turn off Google Assistant on Android Pie?

Hello everyone, is here any posibility to turn off Google Assistant when long press home button?. On Oreo I pressed Advanced Features - there I find Google and I can disable it. Now I can't find it anywhere - was this option dissabled?.
you should be able to disable it in the Google app settings under Assistant tab
Thnx for answer but everything is gray there, so I can't switch nothing. Also, the best case will be if is any possibility to don't start google assistant when long press home button - that's the main problem. When I use gestures, lot of time I want to go back to home screen but the google assistant will start. Any ideas?

if you don't use the google app at all, just disable it trough the application settings of the phone, this will stop assistant at 100%

Question anyone got the google assistant button to remap?

it's just a totally useless option, since I immediately disable the assistant anyway, and it seems that generic button remapping apps don't detect that, and setting something else as the "assistant app" doesn't trigger on the button press either, any ideas?
I do have magisk, if that's the only way, although would be nice if there was an option not to...
Given its position, the ideal re-map for me would be a "shutter" button for the camera. Actually, having this as a physical button should be mandatory.
I found that just like on some other phones, it's hooking the button and explicitly calling a google assistant activity, and since it's "handled already" other apps, such as button mappers, can't do anything with it, but even at those other threads, I didn't see any solutions... I don't NEED the button, but I'd love to give some use to a useless button, such as an optimizer app, and flashlight (currently using like a xposed module or something, to trigger flashlight when screen's off, using power button), it's actually at a pretty great position for being a camera trigger too, yeah...
How to remap "assistant" button! [ROOT REQUIRED]
it seems that while adding non-remappable assistant buttons is a growing trend, solutions aren't easy to find, however the solution is real simple, you just have to modify the keymap file... I successfully managed to get the button detected by...

I figured it out!
I did it with a magisk module.
