I am using the steering wheel controls on my intel based Joying unit. I have a Vol+, Vol-, and Mute button on my steering wheel. These are working well, but it would be GREAT if I could program it to change track if I hold the button down for a few seconds. I remember this being an option on the hardware keys on my Android phone, and was hoping we could set that up on our car stereos.
Any thing out there that'll do that?
Is your HU a Joying MCTD?
If yes, you can set different actions for "short press" and "long press" of all swc buttons
Thanks for the response! My HU is a Joying but it's the new Intel unit with Android 5, so I think it's a bit different. I don't see any option for short or long press on the "Steering" app that sets up the buttons.
You read my mind, I was asking myself this question!
I wonder if there's any similar on the intel joying units

Mine is not Joying but has many similarities with Joying and its using Intel Sofia processor.
Like mention previously, In factory setting there is a setting for press & long press button.
Even though its for on screen button, I think it worth to try for steering wheel control.
FYI, password for factory setting menu for my unit is "m123456".

Since all the units i had/have are buttonless, and i am about to buy one with buttons,
let me ask anyone with a unit with physical buttons
Do we have a way to customize the physical buttons?
Does MTCD tools able to sense the physical buttons as it does with the SWC?
I remember in PX3 we had MTC-keys.. has anyone tried that on px5?
i Know about factory setting remaping, but what i am interested is controlling 3d party apps like poweramp for example..
MTCDTools should work to remap the buttons

Thank you mate. I will have the unit in a few days to test..
Remap Home-button A-Media PX5 MTCD MX Head Unit Android 6.0.1
Hi guys,
My PX5 MTCD MX Head Unit has a strange problem. The Home-button doesn't activate the Android Homepage. Instead it activates the FM Radio when you press it the first time. Pressing it the second time activates the Music Player. Is this a Known-Error? Is there some kind of alternative software to remap the Home-button.
I have tried MTCD_Tools already. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I would say that my problem can't be solved with it.
Thanks.
Factory settings is where you will find the physical button mappings.
I have the homebutton long press turning off the display. Lots of options to be had and no need to use third party software to achieve your desired button config.
I have one more question about this. Is it possible to re-map all buttons? I ask because the Witson V5780-S has no home button and no DVD button. Instead it has prev/next buttons, which I do not need. So would it be possible to change these as well? Currently I am trying to figure out, which one to buy and this would be some hindrance.
Anyone found a working mtc key alternative for the px5 oreo devices?
On my MX unit i dont have any physical buttons and the radio panel mappings come from canbus and are fixed. Mtcd tools and factory settings dont recoqnize any presses....
also wonder if there is a double/triple press solution like in mtc-keys
Dave
Anyone?

I'd like to get back to this after buying a Dasaita Max6. Yes this works - partially. You can define a short and long press to the buttons, but only a handful of basic features. I'd like to bind the BAND button to my DAB+ app instead of the FM radio that I never use. That's not possible with the factory settings.
How can I bind a button to a specific app?

Did you ever manage to get a work around for this?
I have a MX PX5 for Opel Insignia that uses CAN bus and don't have any physical buttons. But now I need access to a physical power button to get in to recovery. Does anybode knows how the physical power button usually is connected? I have some inputs and outputs that are unused, any of them?
On Non buttons headunits, the recovery is got by means of using the reset button hole
I have tried that a lot of times and not gotten that to work.
Use a keyboard.. search my posts. I have explained it many times

edit- did not read what you said above.
I didn't think the ROM version mattered. Reset button does not work?
Hold button until restart, release, then click once.
Click once to advance menu, hold for enter.

Hello
If you put a wire from GND to key_rst thats the same at pushing physical button reset I have tried it on my unit when i came to change the canbus settings and after that it woundnt turn on screen. I also used Key1
Hello all,
So I purchased a buttonless PX5:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/And...32849648099.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.qvQ36y
However, none of the Android widgets or volume buttons work to control the volume.
Only the little button off to the top right corner does anything.
I feel like I'm going to crash my car, constantly hunting for that thing.
Is there anyway to patch/hack this thing to respond to something like a virtual volume slider like this?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clownface.volumeslider
Thanks!
Why do you need onscreen volume? Didnt you have a CAN and steering wheel controls? The volume control on HU is not the same as on smartphones. It has controlled by MCU board where android board sends special commands from the headunit service.
My car came with a sport package, which meant smaller diameter steering wheel and therefore no wheel controls
That being said, the sound slider via settings menu is indeed able to control the volume via onscreen controls. It just doesn't seem to respond to the normal android media controls, is there a way to link the two together?
Then the simplest way is to use infrared remote control (if your HU has it) or to buy universal resistive SWC and connect it to Key-wires.

The only way is to create your own service or automation that will send volume control broadcast intents to mcu.
For my MTCB it may be even a shell commands:
Code:
am broadcast -a com.microntek.irkeyDown --ei keyCode XX
where XX - 19 (volume up) or 27 (volume down).
You need to find this commands for your MTCE here and you will be able to use Tasker for your own service creation.
The second way is to write service on java. But you need a skill for that.
Found xposed-mtce-utils do the job. It has "a strip of volume control at the bottom of the screen".

Thanks for the link! I'll definitely give this a shot.
Do you have any experience entering recovery mode on a deck that has absolutely no buttons?

Don't have a MTC unit but try this,
Install Terminal Emulator app, enter "reboot recovery"
pretty big fails on the trying front.
I've managed to buy a MTCE deck that has neither buttons or SD card slot with which to install malaysk rom the prescribed way.
Has anyone had luck with a pure download -> flash approach? If so, any instructions online?

I believe it must update from usb-flash drive.
Volume up/down codes for your MTCE: 273 and 281.
You can now use Tasker to draw your own Up/Down arrows and set the shell commands for them (w/root).
Or you can use any usb keyboard or other usb-hid device and set the volume commands for buttons you wish.

Volume control workaround on buttonless HU
Hi this should help you which I posted on Car Launcher thread.
Seems we have the same HU except mine was sold by XTRONS.
Like many of you on this forum, I love the simple efficient GUI of Car Launcher AG, amazing work from the developer ! yet I have come to the frustration of volume control on bare HU like mine : PE88CMPL from XTRONS which has absolutely zero buttons at all.
So I went on eBay and bought "Car steering wheel remote control buttons wireless android gps navigation", connected it to Key 1/Key 2, Ground and acc 12V.
Programmed the buttons to volume up down mute and other useful functions such as back/home/gps/answer call/hang up and shutdown.
These setups are in the Car Steering Wheel area in settings.
Those buttons are super small and come with a 3M double face on the back and can be properly installed on the console at arm/finger reach.
I saws that JOYING sells a larger one that fits in cups holder "JOYING SWC Steering Wheel Controller for Android Universal Car GPS Stereo Radio" if you prefer that design.
Enjoy
Hello, i now that issue isn't from this thread but i need some help for use an usb knob that dont make nothing on a MCU of Spreadtrum SC9853I.

you're in the wrong forum, suggest searching for "SC9853I" and ask the question of the knowledgeable joying people.
Hi. Sorry for my google english.
I have -Px6 DSP 9 " MTEC_CHS buttonless with Android Pie- and I couldn't find (if any) a "Knobby volume control style" apk for volume control. I can't put a link from Google Play.
The idea is to touch the screen with 3 fingers (anywhere on the screen) and rotate your wrist to bring up the volume control and increase or decrease the volume. Like a home amp. Do you know of any MTCE that has it since I suppose it should be integrated into the MCU or some apk ?.
Thank you all
Does anyone know how many buttons can be mapped on the TEyes SPro (or even CC2)?
I have a Kia Sorento 2012. It has the following 9 buttons, 11 if you include the 2 long presses:
Mode (i.e. Source)
Vol+ and Vol-
Next (Long press Fast Forward) and Previous (Long press Rewind)
Call Answer and Call Hangup
Mute and Voice Assist
I can do without the long press FFWD and REW, which I don't think I've ever used. When I try to map them, it seems as though only 5 buttons are mapped. If I try another, the last one is replaced.
I'm using a December firmware image with no Canbus and only using Key1 and Key2. I don't know if later images map more than 5. I try to communicate with TEyes through AliExpress messaging but they don't respond...don't know why.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Hi mate i had same issue, and i manage to fix it.
But we don't have same car, is that spro with newer update from cc2 or?
anyway how to fix it:
You need to install older original Steering control.apk, I manage to extract from older firmware and installed it in newer one. And it works like charm with older program.
Hello!
I have a PX6 MTCE with a DSP that broke down. I finally got a new motherboard from the chinese seller and moved everything over to the new hardware. The new motherboard differs from the original one. The biggest difference is that they didn't send me one with a DSP.
The new setup is working. I had to remap the hardware buttons for NAV, BAND etc but found that easy to do in the settings. My only problem now is the left rotary encoder. It is working as "skipping" at the moment, i.e changing position in my song or podcast. The right knob works for volume. I want to have the left knob for volume and pressing the knob for power on/off.
How can I remap this?
My unit is rooted
Best regards,
/David

Almost solved it myself. The solution was to install MTCD_Tools. With this app, I was able to figure out that I had to remap key code 299->281 and 300->273 With this info I found a way to remap in the settings of the Hal9k Mod firmware.
I still don't know how to remap long press on the volume knob to power on/off. I have the code for power on/off, but I don't know the current code for long press. I.e. Nothing shows up in MTCD_tools when I press the button at the moment.
