I havent been able tonget netflix to work. I've read about the issue that causes it, I just want to know if there's a fix or workaround?
Would installing an older version of Netflix work?

The rock chip socs lack hardware h264 decoders. Same reason why the non official Android Auto head unit app doesn't work with it.

It is strange. On my old 4.4 unit it did work. On my new 5.1 I can use easy connect and play Netflix without any video. Sound comes through just fine. Now if I play Amazon video, it works. Not sure what the difference is.

Yup i also just get sound with error 0013
I have tried using older versions but it didn't work either
MTCD is broken in so many ways. The more I use it, the more it angers me. I'm starting to think all these units should be recalled and that it was a mistake to force 5.1.1 to run on the RK3188 processor. It clearly can't handle it.

Same here.. I wish I had a MTCB 4.4.4 instead of my MTCD on 5.1.1, I would have working USB Audio, Netflix, OBD2/torque..
I'm wondering if there is any way to install 4.4.4 on MTCD..?
There is not, and don't try, you will kill the board.
I am planning to buy a MTCD pretty soon. It looks like with all these issues it might be a better idea to get a MTCB. Is MTCD going to have a better stable environment in the future? Then i might get it, it seems like since MTCB has been out for so long, it has matured.
Its up in the air. From what I've read and been told, the engineers don't seem that interested in fixing MTCD. They aren't addressing the major bugs and the updates they have been releasing aren't very helpful. There is talk of them moving to new SoC altogether which would make sense as the RK3188 chips are very outdated. It seems to me that MTCD is just a stopgap, I honestly don't think its every going to work properly / reach the MTCB level of maturity.
Hmm that's interesting, new SOC would be good. I guess it's better off to get a MTCB with a 5.1 flash at least everything will be stable. I am going to put this stereo into one of my project cars which will be done by next spring so I still have time to see how MTCD matures. If there is a new SOC even better but if MTCD is still buggy and no new SOC comes out I might end up with a MTCB given there is still in stock.

anybody have a resolution for this yet? i assume it doesnt work on malaysks roms either... currently on a joying headunit. a bit frustrated - i wouldnt have bought this had i known it wasnt going to work.
It's probably DRM related, and soon a lot of Rockchip devices will not work at all with Netflix. They are also blocking you from installing it from the Play Store if you have a rooted device. I don't know what's going through Netflix CEO's head, but Netflix is going to lose a **LOT** of customers, but hey, maybe that's what they want? More than 50% of Android TV boxes are Rockchip and others are AmLogic and they will not support these either.
Code:
https://devices.netflix.com/en/
Only Chromecast (of course, it's Google), Apple TV, Roku, nVidia Shield, Amazon Fire and Nexus players are the only ones shown as compatible streaming devices.
Looks like it may have something to do with root also..

I have a Uconnect Head unit in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (It's actually the UAQ unit (2018 model)) and I have tried to play Netflix content to the head unit via Android Auto (Newest version in Play store) and AA Unlock and AA Mirror. I have used two devices which I describe below, but can not get video overlay to work. When I start Netflix on those two devices below, I see the menu, I can login, I see movie and tv selections, but when I start to play the movie, all I can see are the controls for the video. (volume, progression slider, etc.) but NOT the video itself. I can hear it. It shows fine on the two devices, but when linked via USB cable to Android Auto on the head unit. NO video. Amazon Prime video works fine, as does the DirecTV app, my plex app and others.
My two devices are:
A Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" (Sprint version) running Lineage OS 14.1, unlocked and rooted. I am running AA Unlock, AA Mirror and the current version on Android Auto from the play store.
A Samsung Galaxy S5 (Verizon UNLOCKED) with Lollipop (Android 5.0) and rooted. I am running AA Unlock, AA Mirror and the current version on Android Auto from the play store.
BOTH will not play Netflix videos when connected. I can see the movie playing on both screens of the devices, but not to the head unit. I have tried different versions of Netflix (both from the play store and from direct downloads of the .apk). Nothing seems to work.
Some say that the Custom ROM is the problem, some say that the devices being rooted is the problem, but neither works.
Ideas?
Great site....long time viewer, first time poster.

So not an MTCD unit, you have an Android Auto unit? If so, you might best be asking in Android Auto Forums....yes this is a cross post to your cross post...

Vendor Specs:
Vendor Site:
XTRONS Website
Experience:
My Car:
KIA Ceed 2008
Installation:
Installation was pretty easy. Once I got rid of the middle console and removed the old Radio, the installation was easy. Stuff all the adapters (WIFI, 3G, GPS) where it makes sense and fix the Radio. You need a 2DIN Install-Cage for your Car, so get that ahead of time. I won't go deeper into the installation, there are numerous "how-to"s that do this way better than I can
Getting Started:
After the installation, the unit gives you no basic steps like you would assume from Android (the timezone, user, mail stuff). General Language is set to English, the Keyboard has an additional Asian keyboard as well so set this to your desired language asap. The unit is fast, the UI is well thought out for Car use. CD play and DVD (region 2, Europe) was no problem and also fast. I added another Bluetooth Adapter because the onboard bluetooth has the known limitations for this kind of head units (only phone connection) and I want to use my Bluetooth ODB2 Adapter.
Until now, I have only positive things to say about this unit. I had a China-Unit before, which broke down after a year of usage and where the hardware quality just wasn't good (wobbly buttons, display kept getting pushed in because it was not mounted correctly and so on). This has a good hardware quality (until now )
Over the next few days, I will configure the Bluetooth stuff and I will see how well configurable the hardware buttons are (for example: Start Spotify instead of the music app when I press on Music and so on).
If you also Plan to get an Android Unit and don't want to wait for Android Auto (and the fact that all units will start at around 1000 € probably ), this may be your unit.
They ship from the UK (even have a warehouse in Germany, where I come from) so if you are in Europe, you don't have to worry about taxes and so on. Also, shipping was very fast (like.. Amazon fast).
Please tell me your experience with this device

Spyware?
I have installed this unit this past weekend and I really like it. I have a question though about the possibility of having pre-installed spyware from the chinese on these android devices. How would I go about detecting the possibility that there is something lurking somewhere?

Hi, could you make a photo of your Settings->About screen? Would be curious about the system version and the MCU Version you have.
Does the radio already play when booting up or do you have to wait until the boot is completed?
Thanks!

I have the same unit and have been running it for a few weeks. I really like this head Unit and would very much like to root it as it does NOT come rooted. I would like a "safe" way to gain root access.

Xtrons and spotify
Hi Bockiii
How did you get on using spotify?
I cant get the next and previous buttons to work with spoifty, could you?
Other Android phones are able to display track info "Artist, Song" on my car's stereo. The S6 connects but doesn't display any track info, even when using the same apps and mp3s as before. It will accept music controls (skip track, volume).
Anyone know how to go about troubleshooting this? Or is there a secret setting to make sure track data is displayed? I don't know where to start. AFAIK 4.3 added AVRCP support, so in theory 5.0 should have it too.
So far I've cleared all and re-added only the S6 to the car stereo.
Skimmed the bluetooth log in /Android/data
Checked the files in /etc/bluetooth
This is what I was searching for as well. With my Nexus 5 I had no problem displaying music information on my car's head unit, but this one doesn't for whatever reason. Stock Android has this feature so why would Samsung remove it? Blows my mind.
Either Samsung broke it or they are not using AVRCP properly for BT streaming.
I lost it too coming from the M8 and N5 on my Acura TL.
Mine displays music info. Track and artist. Just connected like normal. May be because my head unit is a aftermarket pioneer.

I think it's an underlying Samsung issue cause if a player fixes it, then it will only work for the music tracks already on the phone.
My Songza streaming info doesn't display anymore since I got the S6 as well.
@boomer8403 if you're game, would you give Player Pro a try to compare? Like @Elisha said I don't *think* it comes down to the app, but I don't actually know. That head unit it supports AVRCP 1.3, which I think is the minimum version that supports sending the track info. Supposedly AVRCP 1.3 was included beginning with Android 4.3.
Does anyone know how to test or check what version AVRCP is actually on the S6?
I've been trying to find apps or even enter the service menu to figure out if it is using ACRCP 1.3/1.5 or another BT protocol like HPF since Friday but so far nothing.
Although I have to say that some head units are also pickier than other.
My 2012 Outlander XLS/GT can display track info from my iPod Tough 4G but it won't on my 2012 Acura TL.
But like I mentioned before, the N5, OPO and M8 all displayed track info for MP3s as well as Songza without issues!
So hopefully Samsung fixes it.
I recall reading somewhere that Samsung broke it with a version of JB but fixed it with a subsequent update later on.
Same problem here connecting the S6 edge to a BMW 5 series. No track info on Google Play, only sometimes with the internal player and no song duration. Further very erratic behavior such as disconnects, no last caller lists etc. Very poor and dangerous when driving. Apparently hardly tested by Samsung. Connecting my HTC M7, M8 and even 120 eur Moto G Works flawless. I am afraid I will have to return my edge because of this.
From Note 4 forums if I understood well, samsung is now using avrcp 1.4 so units with avrcp 1.3 lose the remote controls.
Please can you check if your head units are avrcp 1.3?

The newer AVRCP is supposed to be backwards compatible. That's what's broken. No more backward compatibility. In my case, its not like Acura is gonna release a firmware update for my car just so that the S6 will work so its up to Samsung to fix compatibility!

1.3
Can you check in the playstore if there is any app for the car stereo brand?
If not you will have to root your S6 and try some third party music apps that could have their own BT modules, or wait for custom kernels

It's a 1 DIN or 2 DIN size?
It will sound crazy but worst case scenario you can change your head unit with adapter for controls on wheel.
If it's a 2 DIN you can get a 7'' mirror link Pioneer, clarion...you will feel liek having a new car inside.
The thing is that since samsung udated their BT modules to 4.1 it broke AVRCP, HTC M8 works ok but even M9 is now 4.1 and I have no clue if they have the same problems.
It could be an Android + BT 4.1 bug that needs a fix from google
Its the built in ELS system with 8" Navi. Not replacing it over a phone!
My M8 worked fine so does my OPO and my N5.
Its not the BT version itself, cause my iPod touch stopped working after an iOS update.
Its the protocol. Some vehicles are pickier than others. My Mitsubishi with Nav can still display the iPod metadata but the Acura can't anymore.
This issue is present on the LG G3, Nexus 6, Note 4 and S6.
Fortunately, I read it was completely fixed on the Nexus 6 once it was upgraded to 5.1.
Once we get 5.1, it should work fine again.
Images should be released soon

Thank you
Are the wi-fi disconnection issues finally fixed in the preview build? Would love to try it out myself, but that'll have to wait and since I'd also have to set up everything from scratch again it might be easier to ask somebody who already installed the preview...
Now all we need is root so I can go back to using DroidMote and a few other apps.

Works fine for me on 2018 Acura. Only issue, as referenced above, is if the notch is hidden, it cuts off the screen on the car's display.
Works fine in my [emoji176]Kia Rio 2018[emoji176]
Had to disable the notch hide... grrrr, works fine, not as snappy as my pixel 2 xl in android auto though, connected to 2018 Jeep
works fine on Chevy Volt 2017.
Yep is fine for me. Was tricky to initially pair but after I changed notch setting it worked. 2017 Mercedes.

Cool! I've never actually used Android Auto. (Mine's a much older system, so too prehistoric to have smart related stuff, but after seeing this, I'm now seriously thinking of upgrading). Does it give you access to all of the stuff on your android phone, or is it just basic stuff like syncing up music, etc?

Its a long-ish answer so just download the Android Auto app on your phone and see it in action. What you see on the phone running the app is what you see in the car (aside from integration with steering wheel buttons etc).
Work fine with Skoda Octavia 2018
It mostly works for me but I have to change the connection mode from USB charging to MPT every time I want to connect to my car. Otherwise, it won't detect the phone.
This is with a Honda Accord 2016. The car connection has the same issue with the OnePlus 3T but not with a Motorola phone that I tested.

It works for me but it takes over a minute before it starts. The car does more see the device. Skoda Octavia Combi model 2018.
Anyone else has the same slow starts?
EDIT: fixed it! Disabling ADB debugging solves the delay (found out using logcat)

Oh Ok, this sort of answers my question anyway. (so basically it's more of an app than a built-in full blown Android OS on a car stereo). In other words, limited features rather than a full OS.. Not alot of point for me then if that's all it does. (Mainly I would have used it for music and gps in the car, but I can already do that from my phone easily enough). But if it had been the whole Android OS that does literally everything my phone does, then that would have been totally worth it!
Thanks for the heads up though! What feature do you use yours for mostly?
LONG story short I bought this used MCMW head unit, tried getting my money back but PayPal sided with the seller even though it's missing pieces and constantly crashes after about a week of use. Performance has been under par (compared to AVINUSA.com or Joying unit's I've got running in other BMW's) and the manufacturer hasn't been helpful when I keep asking for firmware to reflash the unit to see if that'll help. It'll run decently for about a week, then suddenly Waze, the DVR app, etc will continually crash leaving me to only use the unit for Bluetooth and that's about it...unless I reset it back to factory, reinstall apps and then buy myself another week. The touchscreen is oddly either unresponsive or too sensitive as I'm scrolling around, it's just getting frustrating for daily use. I just wanna see if anyone has any advice on how to improve it's performance so it's usable and doesn't need weekly resetting. Even pointing me to the correct forums would be helpful but direct links to actual flashable firmwares, updates, etc would be awesome.

Unfortunately, the forum crystal ball doesnt know what you unit is and from the hundreds of made up models and brands, the seller could be selling units of different types, from different factories, despite branding with the same model name.
Post screenshots from Android system information, including the MCU version when posting questions.
Doing this will at least help others help you, or you might find the information has already been posted or discussed here, yourself.
Damn it, man...just squint harder and you'll see it!! ;-)
My bad....I'm at work, meant to post these and then got caught up. Hopefully these suffice.

Hello, your unit is MCU: MTCH, the app crashes problem is doing the last updates of android webview and chrome. Maybe that's your problem too. Just uninstall and disable their updates, reboot the unit. Ignore any requests to update them. A firmware update won't help, this is the only working solution on Android 10 so far.
Ok, I'll try that since I did update Android Webview and Chrome during my lunch, yet Waze and my dashcam app crashed consistently on my drive home. I'll try uninstalling both and see if that helps me avoid having to completely reset the unit again.
Requested moderator moves to MTCD section.
Op read through MTCD section, the issue has been discussed already.

Disabled, cleared their storage and now Waze works again. Unit's still slow to respond (dragging apps for split screen took like 8 tries) vs it's stats but at least it works now. Thanks for the help.
I bought the same unit for my E38 but I bought it from Xtrons directly thru xtrons-usa on ebay I almost purchased it from MCMW until I figured out he is reselling an Xtrons unit even though he says he is not and says that Xtrons is rubbish. I can tell you it is the biggest POS I've spent $400 on so MCMW is right it is rubbish. I think it runs better after updating webview seams to be more fluid but I just updated it after reading this thread lastnight so time will tell, you understand.
Xtrons PQS1139BL issues
Hello, I purchased an Xtrons PQS1139BL and it's been a toxic relationship. I love the features but its very buggy. Xtrons says there are no updates for this unit and I think they are tired of dealing with me. This is my bug list. Every...

I did resolve the noise issues by dumping the factory amp since I posted this.
Ooh I'm sure they're the ones exact same units, I guess the only saving grace of keeping this used unit is that it included all the iBus converter and another module I'm forgetting about but I can read everything from the OBC on the iBus app and it adds features like triple blinkers.
My current frustration with the unit (which happened to bring me back to these forums today) is that I wanted to see if there's a way to adjust screen sensitivity/accuracy. As I mentioned above it takes multiple times to move apps around in the app drawer, trying to run dual apps and even general use.

Mine is horrible to navigate. I use carplay and use my phone as much as possible.
