MTCD 5.1 Units Spotify - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Hi Everyone,
I have a Joying unit with 5.1 and I love it. Only big problem I have is that the unit does not work very well with spotify. I need help doing the following:
1. How can I set the steering wheel button to launch Spotify or any music app I choose? Right now I am only able to launch the default music player.
2. Pressing next song via the steering wheel works on the default media player but not with Spotify. Anyone know how to fix this?
Also to the Mods I see there is a MTCD dev section but not a Q&A section. Will there be one soon?

I'd like to know the answers as well!

I tried the app CarService by Keiser but I cant figure out how to get the key codes since all I have is SWC for next.

We need the developers to get the new mtcD head units and start making apps and ROMs for them
we are collecting donations for Malaysk so he can make his ROM for MTCD...

We as in Joying? Why don't the resellers like Joying and Erisin fund the development of better apps and roms? I think that would lead to a better product and more sales.

I really think it would be a good deal for Joying to gift a 5.1 unit to Malaysk!
...Maybe Joying don't know how many head units are sold in the world only because of his modded rom?

I got into the head units because I use them my self and now I am sell and repair Joying Head units but I barely make any money to cover the cost of free head unit for donation.
I have tried to convince the manufacturers to donate a unit but they would rather do their own development so this is left up to the community. what I can do is get it to him for the cost price and maybe with a free DVR or something.

same as above
We are almost half way there and I am sure we will get there.

I just donated. Hopefully he will reach his goal soon.

I donated a few days ago, I will donate more if I have to, we need this. @doctorman how close are we to the goal?

Android Variations

I'm working on creating a design on the back of my phone to be applied by decals later. Anyway, my design is going to be based on Android Logo Variations, well, and I need ideas! All finished variations will be posted here, and anyone can use them freely, but I would appreciate some credit if you use them in bulk. I'll finish by making the case design, as well as a possible wallpaper, if there is enough want for one.
Look below for more of the androids.
If you want some of the PS files, I'll be glad to send them to you:

It fits perfectly on x10! I've got other android phone friendly versions too, for phones other than the x10.
Requests:
Android behind a steering wheel...
Android break dancing
Android doing a slam dunk
soccer reff android
Android in a jet plane
Canadroid
New post for more androids
Reffdroid is blind!
My favorit is the one you have as you avatar. Eating apple.
Keep up the good work.

Like a car, or just a steering wheel?

There are a lot of those out already. BTW, I've got an X10 wallpaper which just needs a few more finishing touches.
Hey how about a Canada one, since so many Canadians are on this forum now?

I can definitely do that one.
Okay, so I'm done the background, and Canadroid, I still need Bangarillo's input on the Android Steering Wheel, also, here is a desktop image of my "Optimized" ADW launcher with the background. Yes, i have moved the icons around to accommodate the droids, and yes, I have changed the text to make it bolder.
The link for the full size Wallpaper is on the Opening Post.

[QUESTION] FM Transmission

Hi everyone.
I've got a question for everyone out there. You know those FM transmitters that you can purchase for ipods mp3 palyers etc, is it possible to make our FM chips transmit instead of receive? Would be fantastic to use in the car as a music player through cars stereo via FM frequency and no additional cables etc...
Just asking....

No. It's hardware based, not software.
Please, next time post question in Q and A subforum. Not Development.
First of all WRONG SECTION
Second - No. You would need to open the phone and change the hardware and possibly the software too. So no.
Since it's illegal in France I don't think Samsung include it
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda premium
No, it's not possible + illegal in many countries as you need licenses for transmitting.. However if you are so curious grab a wireless headphone and use it's transmitting unit that works as short range transmitter... (WORKED FOR ME ) but you CANNOT use Radio as a Transmitter coz Transmitter uses many other things (ask electronics expert)
SECOND - WRONG SECTION SO REPORTED.. You should use Google and not XDA. This is Android Development section and your question is not related to neither Android nor Development..
Come on, one guy is enough. He got the point. We don't need a whole team to do the bashing. just saying

Can we do it?

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place.
A friend and I are restoring an old car and am thinking of doing something different for the dash, we want to see if we can use a tab for the main display but also have it removable and use it as the key.
Before I go into too much detail, is it possible to get or create software that can read the sensors that come from the engine?

Of course, it is possible. All you have to do is use Arduino boards with Bluetooth adapter and link it to your tab. I would recommend you to google about android car robotics or about arduino boards. I'm really not sure about the entire mechanism but I've seen such implementations. Keep trying and you would find a solution. All the best. :good:
P.S. Kindly search forums related to your requirement. This forum doesn't seem to discuss such implementations.

SYGAV Android Head unit-The latest MCU and system firmware updating

Here is the link to download the latest MCU and system firmware with instructions.
https://www.sygav.com/blogs/system-firmware
Another Chinese head unit reseller, what is the manufacturer code?
Other resellers have come and gone, promising support, stating they want feedback to improve their units, all without delivering. Will SYGAV be any different and if so, how?
If you check the link fella it will give you all the details as well as MCU details I think.
But if you goto their website and look at one of their pictures of a headunit I did see what the version of MCU it was but didn't think to remember it.

Buyer beware.
Yo willie,
The link doesnt identify firmware version. This post is probably an attempt at advertising.
FYI, I downloaded and decoded the MCU, ShyteAV are reselling HA MTCD units.
Info from MCU image:
Manufacturer F: HOTAUDIO
Manufacturer S: HA
Version: V3.40
I see what you're saying. But the download links are there too. And can be downloaded without making a purchase.

Or by downloading from the Dasaita/HA thread, which is where the OP ostensibly obtained these updates from anyway.

All this cheating going on. Too many Chinese Manufacturers out there.
What we need is just one or two of these manufacturers to go above and beyond the rest with quality and build and especially support.
Most of these names I've never even heard of so I definitely wouldn't buy one.
I just stick to Xtrons brand as I've never had a bad experience with them. But it's only a badge I know. But even they don't really bother giving out firmware updates.

Question What Android Auto HU emulator are you using?

I've looked around online but mostly found just android ones for games. I want something I can run the HU OS for testing so not to brick my unit

On the emulator, you can run the radio application at best, the rest of the firmware will not work. Believe me, I tried and for a very long time. As a result, I had to buy a separate device for development.
