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.

Hello All,
From few days I'm owner of PX3 device for my Peugeot 407. I've go two issues which I'cant solve. I'm using original ROM
Factory parking sensor
It doesn't work with delivered CAN Bus (BAGOO PSA-BG-02 SW: V002)
In product description is information that should be supported, but it doesn't.
On aliexpress comments I've found the tip that I should cut the pink cable to make it working again. Anyway it doesn't work. I've also try to disconnect each single cable from CAN Bus but it doesn't help as well.
Did anyone have a similar problem and resolve it ? On you tube I've found the information that additional CAN Bus interface should help, but maybe is the different solution ?
- Can I check somehow if any parking sensor signal are received by head unit ?
- Maybe I've got old version of CAN Bus ?
- Any others ideas ?
Buttons on steering wheel
In my device only buttons volume up / down work fine, others not. I'm not able to map them with the mapping apps (delivered with the device and from play shop)
Any way I can notice the reaction when I press them.
For example. When I wan't to find next station on radio. I need to press voice command button and then it works only one, then I need to press first button again.
I was wondering if the customize ROM e.g. by Malaysk can help with this issues ? Or is not the case ?
Thanks for your answers in advance.
same problem
Hello,
I have the same problem. I think it's a problem with the can-bus decoder. Have you been able to solve it?

Hi Diablo3177,
Not at all . I've installed Malaysk ROM, updated MCU and it hasn't help.
I alslo guess that is all about can-bus adapter. I will probably give up and istall extra parking sensor and remote on the steering wheel. It should work
Anyway please let me know if you find working solution.
I believe is possible:
https://youtu.be/lj3n35pUvhg
I've tried to contact with the guy from video, but he hasn't answer.
Hi,
Have you maybe resolve this problem? I have this two problems allso...
I have contacted the guy of the video. He gave me a update for my headunit and told me that the bagoo won't work in our car.
He is going to send me another canbus adapter. He lives in Turkey and I live in the Netherlands so it can take a while before I let you know if it works.
Frans
And that was the problem. The Bagoo is the wrong Canbus converter. I bought the one from the guy in Turkey and now everything works like expected.
Hi Frazzy,
Can you show your new canbus (photos and where we can buy) and share the update firmware?
This is the one I have now.
I bought it from him in turkey but its 25 euro shipping and 30 Euro money transfer. So I would look further if you are not desperate.
The update is specific to my head unit I think and it does nothing without the canbus adapter.
Thank for the replay. In the photo we cannot see all model number and software version.
But, now your Peugeot 407 original parking sensors, AC, Buttons on steering wheel, ... work well?
And the vehicle information, link "open doors", seatblets, lighs that don't work, errors, ... are all displayed?
This is a better foto
Everything works perfect. Also doors opening and closing is instant now and not laggy. all the buttons on the stearing column work to. I haven't found anything that isn't working yet.

What about temperature unit? Can you set the temperature unit to celsius? How many cabels are connetcted to connector from canbus decoder?
Temperature's ar in Celsius. You can count the wires in the first image. The black and white one are going to the external backup buzzer.

where could I buy it ?? I also have 407 but I have parking sensors, the problem is only on the steering wheel that only the volume change works
Do some of you have an issue with the speaker for the parking sensors? Mine is on very low volume and I don't know how to increase it
Hi Guys,
Has anyone found the shop when the working cunbus may be bought ? I've found some on aliexpess (some on photos look very simiar for the Frazzy's one). However, all sellers wrote me back that it can't be sold separately. Only with the central unit from their store :/

You posted 2 pictures with 2 different CANBUS decoders. On the first one it says For: Peugeot 20X(something) it's not readable but most probably is for 207.
The second picture says For Peugeot 407. Which one is working?
I also found a website (google RoadNavi i can't put external links yet) where these canbus adapters can be ordered separately, but i really need to know what model to order.
I also have the Bagoo canbus adapter and it won't take AC commands, stering wheels, passengers side input any many others ... it also broke my right Air flaps and had to service the car and dismount the whole dashboard. I fixed everything and mounted the original audio unit back untill i will find a fix for this problem.
You are the only one paying attention
The second one is the correct one.

Hi Frazzy,
I see there is no PX5 8 core 4 GB RAM for 407 from Mekede just PX3 4 core 2 GB....
if I buy this unit for my 407 Year 2009 vvv. ebay . c om/itm/112926331486?ul_noapp=true
will I get right can bus decoder or I will need to buy that one from Turkish guy for all stuff working (A/C control, front/rear park assist, board/trip computer, settings of car, steering wheel controls... ) ?
Thanks for help
L
I really don't know. I'm no expert in this stuff. I just found the guy with the working canbus adapter.
If you are getting a bagoo than it won't work.
By the way, on AliExpress they have px5's as well.

As I know, it's a lucky to buy with the correct can-bus decoder. All canbus sell with this units work with the basic functions of the 407, but the new versions also have resolve the problems with AC, steering keys, parking sensors, ...
Maybe you can contact the seller and ask for the version of canbus decoder or share with him the photo of this working decoder...
Finally installed a reverse camera on my BMW E46, all cables are right connected and the camera is working during a test on workbench.
My Dasaita V600 head unit (MCU updated to last 2.80 version) dont have a "reverse signale cable" but is supposed to switch in reverse camera through the canbus (E39-E46 software V1.0) so my camera is only connected to "CAM-IN yellow" cable for HU.
Putting reverse gear (motor running or not) the head units dont auto switch to "CAM IN" input for showing images from camera. Anyone had this issue? Any help?
P.S.: If the camera is connected to "AUX Video IN" and manually started AVIN app images are on screen, so no troubles with camera and/or connections.
Thank you in advance

The options was enabled by default on my unit. Tried all options and deep searching for a "software solution" without luck.
Only working thing i find was cutting a wire from canbus box and direct connect the other side from my HU to reverse signal wire from my auto.
I think that was caused from BMW E46 I-BUS signals not fully decoded from canbus, i have retained all steering wheels controls but not doors open warnings, if they are supposed to show on HU display.
If anyone have some advices they are welcome.
P.S.: In my case working for steering wheel controls setting are NO CANBUS. If i try to select another BMW voice from list i lose steering wheel controls.

Can you tell me what wire you cut and connected the blue from reverse light?
BL/GE - Blue/Yellow wire
I understood that it was a wire between the headunit and the canbus decoder.
(on Automatic Gear Box it seems it works just fine)
I know that the data is send and it works The Ibus is able to detect the msg, this decoders just don't catch on older veicules with Manual Gear Box.

Sorry i did not explain correctly.
The BL/GE - Blue/Yellow wire is the one i'm going to connect to a specific wire that is cut from the headunit
What Reverse/Back wire did you cut to get the reverse signal on the HeadUnit+Canbus decoder?

i used the wire number 2 labeled "reverse" on HU side, but you need to be sure that your HU is a Dasaita for BMW E46.
Check the wire/connection label on your HU for confirmation.
P.S.: On kmy case the wire was orange

I don't think it's strictly Dasaita, as this is the same for Eonon as well. I had to tap into the blue wire between the HU & CANBUS converter. I have the power for the camera tapped into the reverse light.
I too have an E46 Touring. I'm curious, where did you mount your camera? I put mine right above the licence plate dead center of the hatch release button. It's a perfect spot! I removed the torx screws and slid it behind the plate light bracket and ran the wires through there as well. It works fantastic in this location and it even assists when connecting a trailer because it's close to the hitch.

I've seen cameras that replace one of the lights. I thought about 3D printing an adapter but I went the route I did to keep both lights and have the camera dead center.
Yes, but you need the I-BUS interface to do that. The Canbus converter doesn't do much. With the I-BUS interface & I-BUS app you're able to see what doors and windows are open, what lights are on, and you can code your car as well.

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

The seller send me a rom update, but I don´t sure to update the radio... Will it solve the problem or will it further damage it...
I can send you the rom if yo want it

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.

pm @ikerg or search the forums, hes deffo mentioned how to do it on CAN Bus units before.

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!

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.
My idea with this post, I do not know if I'll get it, is that each one we put the type of canbus we have as well as the model of the vehicle and the functions with which our canbus counts for when buying one we know which one to choose. I know that there are many variants of vehicles but the more data you collect, the more information you will have when choosing one type or another of the canbus unit. I've been looking through a multitude of sites and forums and I can not find anything with which one can orient oneself when it comes to acquiring, in the market, a certain canbus decoder. I know that these depend a lot on reverse engineering to determine what features can be drawn to each car, but at least this list could be worth to decide, or at least is what I intend.
I start the list with my car and canbus decoder:
My CANBUS model typ. Golf 7 "Raise"
My Car is Seat Leon Mk3 (5F)
funtion (detection yes or no) : ESC (yes), doors(yes),Line Assist(no), Front Assist(yes), Climatronic(yes), Parking assistance (yes with reverse gear in, with front radar detection (no))
(please put relevant funtions, datas la avg speed or consuption p.e. i thinks that aren´t important)
CANBUS model typ. Golf7 "Normal" in the same car
funtion (detection yes or no) : ESC (no), doors(yes),Line Assist(no), Front Assist(yes), Climatronic(yes), Parking assistance (yes with reverse gear in, with front radar detection (no))
I hope that you can help me and also more people.
CANBUS model typ.14 mazda cx15 "simple"
My Car is Mazda cx5 2013 touring without bose. With reverse camera. No parking sensores. Mexico model. No rotary command
funtion (detection yes or no) : ESC (no), doors(yes),Line Assist(no), Front Assist(no), Climatronic(no), Parking assistance (I don't know)) . Reverse signal from canbus (yes). Stock functions (yes): set up lights (follow me) auto lights sensitivity/doors lock/wipers sensitivity

CANBUS model 30 Chrysler(Bagoo), Type 0
My Car is 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee S-Limited with premium audio and OEM Nav MyGig 735N (infinity amplifier), parking sensors (front and rear) , reverse camera, no rotary command, CAN SWC.
function (detection yes or no) : ESC (no), doors(yes),Line Assist(no), Front Assist(no), Climatronic(no), Parking assistance (no) . Reverse signal from canbus (no: used instead cabling from reverse light). Stock functions (no): set up lights (only with manual headlights on; Auto headlights on not detected) ; Infinty amplifier switch On (yes), Front/Rear audio control (only front or only Rear)
