Hi! Has anyone seen these new PX6 Tesla Style head units showing up on Aliexpress?
I'm wondering if there are any ROMs in development to change the look of the headunits? I really like the idea of them, but the launcher/software is really clunky and unaesthetic. How would one go about creating a ROM that would include a different bottom-bar (where the A/C and volume controls normally go) and removing the top bar (where there are currently app shortcuts)?
Some examples here:

Cheers!
I would also like to see some info aboute this big head unit.... review... + and - of such unit.
Cheers

Is this a MTCD head unit? What are the chances we see a new ROM for this unit as its really unaesthetic as jimi said
Would definitely like to know too, as I just ordered one for my Prius!

Look at MCUver. It is clearly not mtcd.
And I'm using it now, but it's an undeveloped unit that can't even get root. There is no custom ROM. I plan to order MAX6 on 11.11.
If you go to this FB group, we have a ROM set up. We are working on more right now. If you have worked on Android before and know what you are doing, let us know in the questions asked to join.

Hi guys
Just received this head unit today and it's my first android device for a few years - spent the evening installing it and I love it already - it's a huge leap from stuff I've had in the past.
One thing I can't see how to do though is how to add/change widgets on the main home screen on this version of android/this head unit.
I'm sure on previous android devices I've had it's been a case of doing a long press maybe on blank space on the screen, but this doesn't do anything. I found a screen panel which has some widgets that can be added to additional screens, but not the main one, and it doesn't include the items currently present, not things like app shortcuts etc etc.
This is probably a stupid/easy question sorry but I can't find out on this device how I change these, so if someone could assist I'd be really grateful, thanks!
Jim
Hi
I moved your thread to Q&A-Section.
Would you please tell us which ROM you are using? Or are you still on stock?
Sorry, my bad. Thanks for moving it!
It's still the stock rom. Does it say the details for that in settings where it has the other details such as model/processor etc?
Thanks!
Anyone?
Thanks if anyone can help
You'll need to use a different launcher. The default ones (next, etc) do not allow much/any modification
Thanks for the tip Brendo - didn't realise that's what it came down to.
I'll have a look into alternatives, but are there certain ones that are favoured for head units as opposed to ones that might be favourites on phones for different reasons etc?
Cheers!
Jim
Right - after some searching and reading I'm gonna change the launcher to Nova as it looks great and very flexible.
Also going to stick poweramp in it I think as a better quality music player.
Is there a way to adjust the rear view ruler? Because mine is too short and useless. In some youtube video they changed the angle of the ruler and the distance betwin the yellow and red lines but with no explanation.
I have Px5 6.0.1 android mxc89l hct20170512
Thanx.
If there is it will be in the 'Factory Settings' area of the 'Settings' menu.
Password to enter the 'Factory Settings' is usually 126
looked there and didn't find it

This was a good explanation of how to do it but the link is not working for me.
You have to create a replacement image of the guidelines to replace the existing one.

that's a great idia! I will try that. Thank you.
Any thought about the curving ruller the one that moves when you twist the steering wheel?
I have not seen a mod that achieves that yet, I think that it would require information coming from the can bus and probably a new apk.

Plenty of info on root here if you search or if compatible with your HU install Malaysk rom, it has root already.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-software-development/rom-malaysk-roms-mtcd-device-t3598908
Or you can use Kingoroot for rooting your original ROM.
For Android 6 use Kingoroot Version 4.2.8
solved! Nudelsose helped me and his version did the root! thank you.

Hello you'll have to edit the canbus.Apk. You can do it by using Root explorer to find the folder ,then rework it with paint for exemple. you can also translate also in your language if not existing yet (with notepad).

The solution requires rooting the device. I wonder why the manufacturers haven't fixed the problem. Maybe they are not aware of it.
Anyway, since I don't own the HU (yet), is it possible for you to upload the canbus.apk? Even if I don't buy the HU, it would be interesting to check the messages the canbus sends and experiment with the translation.

Thank you for your quick reply and time you spend to help. First of all, my language is Greek. My major concern is the messages sent through the canbus about car functions and notifications (for example, ESP off, low fuel, low ambient temperature, unfastened seat belt etc.). When upgrading the factory screen the goal is to add features without losing any.
Is Hal9k ROM addressing these issues? In this thread there is an image of the missing background. It would be very nice to have an updated image with the corrected version.
You mentioned a problem about quick message disappearing. I don't know if there is a specific thread for this problem. Speaking of this, isn't the OK button (seen in the quoted thread's image) responsible for releasing the message? Does it work properly when being pressed?

I will contact @segu45 to see if he can help me.
I decompiled the apk with APK EASY TOOL and Im not sure which PNG to edit (box1, box2 etc) to make them a solid color.
It should work after compiled, unless the rom has some specific signature that it checks for (contacted hal9k to ask about that)
I will only migrate to android 9.0 when theres a custom rom for that.
if i remember i edited this file with paint 3d.
MTCCanbus\res\drawable-nodpi-v48\warning_bg.png
I have the .apk with the darkest backgrounds and almost all the colored png In the next few days I will put a link for those who want to change it. It is the last one, valid for all Rom in android 9 and for all vehicles. If someone wants to translate into their language, I can send it in English and when it is translated, compile it in the apk.

Hi guys,
I screwed up my klyde 7.1 unit. Using admin password I entered in some settings, I changed something and the unit restarted and now on the display are shown only some colored stripes. I wish to do a factory reset, but since the display is unusable, I ask you if you know other way then the one that needs to access settings. Thanks.
Is it an MTCD type unit
Yes, it is. It means that it cannot be reset from buttons, or a secret reset orrifice?

Naaa... To brick any RK related unit is nearly impossible.
The ultimate solution is, to follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mtcd-e-android-10-upgrade-using-official-free-tools.4123933/ posted by @marchnz
There is nearly always a way to get the system back...
...just make sure you don´t change anything in the system settings if you are not sure what you are doing.
hi, thank you, I was checking the thread that you posted. Looks complicated and lot of pages to read. Lot of links are not valid anymore. I will give up.

Hi all, new user here.
I have a VW with a MH2p infotainment ("vw discover premium") unit.
I'm looking for assistance in getting the root password to the unit via telnet.
I don't want to remove the unit from the car or desolder anything.
I have established a telnet connection with the unit.
Unit details...
Hardware: 760035067B
SW MU: 2838
Train: SW_Train_MH2p_ER_VWG36_P2838
Anyone out there able to offer assistance?
Were you able to get the root password or able to get Android auto FEC coded ?
If anyone still needs a MH2P solution. I've got it full (conversion, green menu, androidauto, carplay, fullscreen carplay, lifetime maps, gracenote, radio station logos, generator...)

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, someone was able to help me get root access.
My unit already supports Android Auto, I just want it to use more of the screen (I have a 15" screen and AA uses like two thirds of it). No luck with that yet, but not had time to sit and mess with it for a while.

Would you mind sharing how you got root ? I have the D-Link Ethernet already and it's setup as needed I just am unsure of which up to set the card to and need the root password. I know there's a way to generate a token via a port but not sure how to decrypt that to gain root access to enable Android auto.

Yeah i can help you out but there is a reason why its not public and free yet.
Theres 2 methods on the market as of now. D-link and SD card only. For D-Link a generator and a challenge key is needed to gain root access then you have to do the magic with fecmanager and exceptionlist. Pm sent.

@CaptainKoruzica, if you have something to share with the class, you're welcome to do so. Keep in mind that rule 11 of the terms that you agreed to in order to use the site expressly forbid you from using this as a commerce platform by which to sell stuff. Keep in mind that if you send scam messages to those users, they can also be reported and acted upon accordingly.
If you have some kind of meaningful solution or discussion to contribute, the best place to post that would be right here in this thread.
Touareg solution is still in the works. Trying to get Fullscreen AndroidAuto to work with member Vfe. But if anyone wants to check, you can access the root of mh2p units with this generator. A quick guide is attached.
