Hi
I have KLD unit that I've used for approx 12 months now without any issues (execpt from me playing with MCU and Firmware upgrades). I also have a reverse cam installed that has been working fine since day 1.
However a couple weeks ago the unit started to behave strangely, while I'm driving forward then the canbus suddenly send reverse cam signal to the unit and the unit goes into reverse mode. However I get the exclamation screen, since there is no live feed on the reverse cam (it's not powered on as it is connected to the reverse lights power source).
If I quickly change to neutral (still driving) and back to drive (automatic), the reverse cam screen disappears and unit works as normal. But after random 3-15 minutes it goes back into reverse cam mode, while still driving or even just standing still.
I've taken the unit out and connected it to a PSU and had it powered on for two days at my desk without any problem, so the unit it self seems in good condition. But when back into the car the problems starts again. Today I decided to disconnect it all wiring as well to check everything and look for any issues. I could not find anything "strange" with the wires.
So I started to play around with the reverse cam wires to see if anything was sending a signal while in neutral or drive. Turns out the orange reverse wire from the canbus is powering up randomly when not in reverse, disconnecting the orange wire from the canbus box takes the unit out of the reverse mode and unit works as normal (of course without reverse cam functionality). Same thing happens when I disconnect the canbus box itself completely, then of course my steering wheel buttons does not work (which they do when the canbus is connected).
I also connected the cam to the video IN and engange reverse gear then the live feed from the cam works fine when in ie. the AVIN app.
After doing all this fiddling and testing. I connected everything back correctly. However now the canbus seemed even more "broken", as it now engange reverse entirely when in P, N and D. And disables the reverse cam feed when actually in reverse
This leads me to the conclusion that the canbus some how has gone foobar. However I have no clue to what to look for. Is there a way to reset the canbus box itself, or do I just need to order a new one?
This is what I've done:
- Verify that all settings in Factory settings where correct
- Checked wiring and the car it self (car is BMW E53)
- Checked cam working and the wiring
- Loaded MCU and firwmare just in case
- Tested unit separate from the car (PSU power), working fine
The unit works fine otherwise.
As a workaround for now, I've disconnected the orange wire from the canbus box and connected the reverse cam video to video in. And just manually start AVIN when I need reverse cam
Hope anybody out here has any idea or clues for what I should look for?
Can these canbus suddenly "go nutes" or die?
Thanks

I would rather check the transmitter of the gearbox position. If it has problems it should be recorded as a fault
in your car internal memory. Maybe not in OBD, but deeper. Ask your garage to check the internal memory.

So could it be errors that torque is not able retrieve via ODB?
Thanks I'll check that out.

Most manufactures have at least two layers, maybe more.
I had something similar. Disconnected the pink cable from the reverse feed on the canbus box and hooked it up to the feed behind the glovebox for the reverse lights instead.
Disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes. That will reset the computer and clear canbus.
If it returns, then the PCM is probably at fault.

Hm, tried this. No go:-/
Better get my PCM checked out.
Could it be that my can bus decoder is broken? Anyone experienced this?

Just an update:
I managed to borrow a can bus decoder box from a friend, who has a similar unit as me.
That one worked fine and I had reverse camera as normal again with his can bus decoder.
So as work around untill I get a new can bus decoder box, I bypassed the can bus reverse cam trigger on the can bus decoder.
I made own reverse trigger wire connected from the reverse camera power and wired it to the unit reverse cam trigger wire directly.
Now its all working as before.
I have the same issue. There is another way to work the CANBus decoder (like any update etc), except to bypass the CANBus with cutting reverse cable. Please help me.
I have the same issue as well. I was in the process of installing the rear view camera, after which, my headunit is now stuck in 'reverse mode'. If i disconnect the ca bus decoder box, the headunit starts functioning without any issues. I can't find any info on how to reset or program the can bus decoder to its factory settings. No idea what to do at this point, other than order a new unit.

I think I have the same problem as you. Did you end up fixing it?
If my Canbus is plugged in, it's constantly in reverse mode. The only way to get back to the regular screen is to unplug the canbus or disable reverse mode in factory settings (in which case, reverse camera is disabled)
Do I need a new Canbus? Anyone know how this would happen and how to avoid it happening again?
Problema camara reversa (CanBus)
Hello,
There is, on the market, CAN-BUS INTERFACE UNIVERSAL ADAPTER INTERVAL CAN-01 / 02SPEED PULSE PARK BRAKES ETC
It is marketed by 'Motor Solutions and' Connects2 '
The CAN-Bus interfaces are designed to turn this digital data into analog, so the installation of an aftermarket car radio becomes simple. The interface creates the following for you, and saves you time and money in the process:
Speed pulse signal
Ignition Wire
Lighting wire,
Reverse wire
Park Brakes
I think it applies to 'made in China' radios, but they should consult the sellers
Regards
Mário

posted in the wrong place , mtce unit
Hey guys,
I just bought a new unit and have had fun installing/setting it up. But I've run into a few problems/questions that I can not easily solve from searching. I'm hoping for some help. I appreciate any insight that can be provided!
purchased:
MTCB 800x480 (EONON GA2114)
1.) I can't get the reverse camera to work
My previous head unit was the Astroid Parrot Smart and my backkup camera was working. I've setup my MTCB as follows: HU reverse wire to reverse light 12v & HU "cam in" to camera's RCA plug. I'm experiencing: when I put in reverse gear, I get a yellow triangle exclimation point and no proper video. Could this be becuase I have not grounded the HU parking wire (everything else is working properly without having to do that. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change?... pal vs ntsc?
2. ODBD not working correctly.
I can connect to it in bluetooth settings but Torque can not connect to it. I do have blue OBDB icon that appears in the taskbar
3. Keypress (for the physical hardware buttons) volume is too loud
even if I have the radio volume turned all the way down
4. music volume is too loud when volume set at one
With the volume of music at it's lowest setting, it's at a normal listening level.
5. Elements in Settings disappeared
It's just gone. I can't change the physical button colors any more. It was there before.
6. Saved radio stations.
After a scan is complete.... I can't figure out how to reorganize the order of stations.... or even delete the unwanted presets
7. Best way to automate wifi hotspot?
Should I set a tasker action to start hotspot upon bluetooth connect to unit? I sometimes have bluetooth manually turned off though. ... what's everyones solution to this? I though about a NFC sticker placed on my phone dock to automate bluetooth/hotspot.

When you say parking wire I assume you mean park brake wire. The park brake wire has nothing to do with reverse video. It is suppose
to turn off DVD video during driving. Which can be changed in settings BTW. Exclamation point normally means no video. Are you sure
you used the right input and that your camera is providing video? Test your camera on a normal video in and verify if you get a picture.
Also verify that your reverse camera gets 12 volt when selected.

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.
Click to expand...

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.

*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.

I got a weird problem. It's a pumpkin headunit that can with the car I got. It's been working fine ever since I've gotten it. But last night when I was driving the music stopped playing and the rear view camera came on the display while i was on the freeway. Clearly I was not in reverse as I was going forward. It seems like it was doing it when I was just going forward, until I came to a stop then it'll go back to playing music, but then once I got going again it'll display the rear camera on the unit. I wouldn't mind if it kept the music going. None of the buttons are responsive when it is in rear camera view mode.
I've tried a factory reset, it is still doing it. Even today when I the car was not on. I was just setting the radio presets again, low and behold the rear view camera came on but for a few seconds and went away. It is still doing it when the car was off. I'm kind of confused as what the problem is.
Is autopumpkin.com working for anyone also? It doesn't seem like they are in business anymore?
Thanks for reading, and any possible places to look.
Hi, any progres? I have https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/DtwdJIt its px5, Mtce_gs_v2.90c. Now I have a little problem with rear camera. I bought reverse camera and tried to connect it into front camera input(I was curious how it would look like) and since then its stuck on camera view. Even after disconnecting camera. Only solution was disable "prohibit reverse" in factory settings menu, but with "prohibit reverse" disabled is obviously not showing reverse camera when I gear the reverse down. Everything is shown in this video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/XbYUHApzT8qTezkq6
Turns out it was the canbus decoder that has gone haywire. It reads the canbus and checks for the reverse message and turns on the camera. With it unplugged I do not get random rear camera view anymore, but I also lose my steering wheel button to control the unit. I'll see if pumpkin will help me out, my unit is out of warranty.
