FM Radio and Bluetooth audio simultaneously? - MTCD Android Head Units General

I bought a Android head unit and usb-dongle, as an affordable way to run wireless Apple CarPlay. The headunit is a 'Radio KKXXX T1' running Android 8.1. The dongle is from the company Carlink in China.
CarPlay works by starting the app AutoKit which came with the dongle. It communicates over Bluetooth and Wifi with my iPhone.
Most is fine, however I can't seem to listen to the FM-radio in the headunit simultaneously with audio from Google Maps or Apple Maps. So when the FM-radio is playing, the voice directions are not audible. When voice directions are audible, it kills the FM-radio permanently.
I can only play the FM-radio solo, or Google Maps audio solo, but not both at the same time.
Is there a solution to this problem?

you might have to go into factory settings iirc

Try setting one of those navigation apps to the default navigator and set Android to use the supplied TTS (Pico TTS?) as default for the system. Set navigation sound options to Mixing.
Hopefully this will allow the default navigation app to work with the radio on.

A2DP -> Bluetooth headset problems

I have a SilverCrest Bluetooth Stereoheadset 9300 (Probably a Toshiba Bluetooth headset)
The Silvercrest:

}
The Toshiba:
It looks the same and has the same accessories with it. So I guess it is the same but that doesn't mathers with my problem
I'm running the cooked WM6 Rom from adewidt (dutch). I have added the headset as an "stereo headset" and as an "handsfree-set" (together). But how can I let the music play by the headset? The first time when I make the sync between the headset and phone, I can listen music on it. But how can I connect to it when I want? If I turn on the headset and activate my bluetooth, it won't make a connection automatically. (my bluetrek G2 headset does make a connection on its own when I turn it on)
And when the headset is connected, it can just suddenly stop playing music. And when I change from song, it adds a half a sec/ a hole sec pauze to it.
So to summarize my question.
- How can I reconnect to the headset?
- Why can it just stop playing my music
- Why is there a pauze between the songs
anyone?

On most roms, you can't... I've tried one that it worked to connect and play as it should... On everyone else, the music skips...

Use this for connect/reconnect:

And this helps if the music stops/pauses:

manos libres = handsfree
update: it doesnt even work as hands free.
When it is connected to A2DP then you should have a small headphone icon on the top bar. If it is not there then you won't hear anything through the headphones.
You need to test the headphones on another device or test another A2DP headset.
You could also try BatteryStatusPlugin which via the options can place a small bluetooth icon in the taskbar at the bottom, and when you click on this it gives the option to reconnect to A2DP headphones. I use this whenever mine becomes disconnected as it saves me having to turn them off and on again.
The 'Ebay' word has me slightly worried for you though!
If it's possible, I would try to update (or downgrade, even) the headset firmware. I once had this problem with my Jabra 8010 and that was the only way I got round it.

New Note 3, couple issues

So, I love this phone and hate it at the same time.
First off, just at random, the BT, Wi-Fi or GPS will just turn off. Has not happened for a couple days, nothing has really changed.
Now the big issues. These are driving me nuts....
I have a Pyle PLDN74BTi (don't laugh, it was dirt cheap) and it supports Bluetooth audio and tagging and speakerphone from a BT phone. All the features work except the tagging. I cannot get BT to display the audio info or the phone info.
Second, I just bought an iBolt xProDockX. When I dock it, the phone recognizes its docked, but it will not open the doc app upon dock. I look in the default apps, and the dock isn't even listed. I purchased Car Home Ultra and it wont auto open, I even install the dock&drive app from iBolt and it wont auto open upon docking either.
Anyone else having these stupid issues with their phone? I have cleared all the apps, and I have restarted the phone. No Dice.
You posted this in the S3 forum, not the Note 3... I doubt you will get any help here

Dasaita 10.2" PX6 spoken navigation directions half words

Hi,
I noticed weird behavior with this device and navigation: if I'm using plain navigation just as it is or navigation with Radio app, spoken directions are cut off from the end.
How ever, if I'm using Spotify or some other streaming app at the same time (running at the bottom), all spoken sentences are complete without any issues. I've tested Google Maps, Tom Tom, Sygic and some others, but it does not change this behavior.
Is this known issue with Dasaita or am I missing some setting here?
Thanks!
I had the same issue.
Go to CAR setting and then to Navigation and look for where u can change to "SWITCH", then it wont cut the voice from navigation.

I tried the suggestion above, but I still get the skipped words from Waze as well as Google Assistant.
Any other suggestions?

Pixel C will not see official keyboard

My device fell off an aeroplane seat-back table and the keyboard stopped working (the official Bluetooth, magnetic Pixel C keyboard). No problem I thought, I'll just buy another as I know they're not the most robust. I removed the old one from Bluetooth devices but I cannot get the new one to pair with the Pixel C. It does not appear at all when I scan for new Bluetooth devices. Here's what's weird:
I have successfully paired the keyboard to an Android phone and an iPhone so I know the keyboard works fine
I have successfully paired other devices (phones, headphones, smart speaker) with the Pixel C so I know Bluetooth pairing works on the Pixel C
I have tried the 'left-shift + P + A + I + R' reset on the keyboard. I have factory reset my Pixel C. I have tried using Bluetooth "force-pair" apps from Google Play. No matter what I do it will not see the keyboard. My next step is to root and re-flash the Pixel C with a new ROM but that's pretty drastic. Before I go down this route has anybody seen anything like this before and have any suggestions?
Same here man, tried on the new Lineage and now on the new Arrow OS, that's what displayed but then in bluetooth settings, nothing.

I am starting to think the keyboard is faulty ? How did you try it on other devices ?
