Mirrored signal from the reversing camera

Hey guys,
I've been having a strange issue with my KGL unit since I purchased it.
My car came from the factory with a reversing camera and everything was fine with it on the original multimedia system.
Since I've installed the KGL unit, the image i get from the reversing camera is mirrored... left is right and right is left...
Also it seams that the picture quality is a lot worse (to me it looks a lot like when you connect an NTSC signal to a PAL TV or vice versa)
During the day I can see OK but at night is is almost impossible to distinguish anything... (it was OK with the original multimedia unit)
I've tried different KGL MCUs, tried different settings in the factory menu, stock and custom firmwares.
When I purchased my KGL unit, it was a PX3, since yesterday I upgraded it to PX5.
Any ideas?

Never mind guys!
I've just flashed the latest HA MCU 2.59a on my KGL unit and oh miracle! The camera is no longer mirrored!
I'm happy now!

That mirroring can easily be fixed in settings, extra settings ,
I have a GKL unit as well , might try that mcu I'm still on kgl 2.54-4

Which setting will that be? I've tried every setting in the factory menu before finally trying tha HA MCU...

Settings, extra settings. (I think)
Not in factory settings

Yip , in settings , extra settings , your looking for reversing x-mirror

Does it sometimes take a second or 2 even 3 to before see the image from the rearview camera on the screen after putting the car in reverse? My stock headunit used to switch instantly. This kinda bugs me since I need to parallel park in tight spots all the time. I just want to see if this is only happening to me or this is a known issue. Mine is a PX3 with 2GB ram with HA MCU.

Dasaita PX6

Ok,
So I got a on some recommendations here.
now what? Are there any custom roms I can use?

I would recommend read trough the forums...
And no, there are no modded Android 9 Roms at the moment.
You have to wait for Hal9k_ and Malaysk to come out with one when they are done.

I've spent hours on the forums but there is so much out there its hard to get a handle on. the last unit I had was a nu3001 and was a bit more straight forward.
I'm not sure I care about android 9 if there is a ROM I can put on mine that is android 8 or whatever I don't care as long as it de-china-fied. I'll continue to look but was hoping for a quicker answer as I'm about to pull the trigger on buttoning up the car with wiring and dash....
Thanks!

Your px6 came with android 9 anyway. There is no custom roms for px6 at the moment. With that said, android 9 is what I'm running (px5) and has been the most stable out of any modded ROM available from Hal9k or anyone else. You'll need to wait before a modded release is issued . They are being worked on.
For the time being, you could install FCC Launcher for A9. There's a thread in the forums here.

Furthermore you could root your unit aswell. Even it is just possible by using SuperSu at the moment with Android 9.
Youll find the guides in the forums.

i have orderd one to, same as in first post.
can anyone say if tomtom or tomtom nds is working on this unit?

thanks.. yours is also px6 processor?

Yes, latest version px6

My Dasaita Px6 head unit has been working flawlessly for a little bit less than a month aside from a few disconnects with Android Auto.
However, today my head unit crashed 2x. Each time I heard a speaker popping distortion noise for a second and then the head unit restarted.
The only app that was running was Spotify with the unit connected to my phone's hot spot. Weather was about 60F so it wasn't a very hot day.
Has anyone encountered this before and if so, do you know what might be causing it?

could be a wiring issue or might need to factory reset the unit. I think everyone should factory reset as soon as they get the unit anyway.

I'm having the same issue and was blaming Malaysk mod for this...
Have you solved the issue? I will go back to stock and factory reset everything next week (is there a MCU factory reset option?).

I too have experienced the same exact problem and it happens once or twice a day. The UI freezes for a few seconds then there is a loud crackling sound coming from the speakers for another few seconds followed by a crash and reboot. It appears to happen randomly when I'm interacting with apps and more than likely is not heat related since it's been only a few degrees above freezing here and has happened only a few minutes after turning on my car. I've also had freezes where the UI and all buttons stop working but the radio keeps playing and only a forced reboot fixes it. I'm on Malaysk full mod and plan to go back to stock to do some troubleshooting and see if it's hardware or software-related.

I tried going back to stock and changing many different MCU versions with the same exact issues you are describing: freezing or rebooting in the first few minutes after starting the car.
Today I had another new issue: I had one of the described freezes but after shutting down the car the display of Dasaita went black but the touch buttons remained on (LEDs on). I had to disassemble the HU to unplug the power cable... This is not a small bug anymore, this is a huge issue, I am trying to contact support with no answers. Did you find a solution or have any suggestion?
Do you have stock recovery? Do you know how to install stock recovery?
I also would like to factory reset MCU setting but I have no idea how to do it. Did you change any setting in factory settings menu? I'm worried that it could be something there.

I have the same issue sometimes my HU crashes with popping sound. I blame MCU 3.37 but i am not sure. Maybe i should re-update it without cfg settings files because i flashed it with exported MCU settings and put the cfg file next to the img file when i flashed the new MCU

Where do you get the cfg file? I always flashed MCU without cfg file but maybe we could get a cfg file from a device with no issues and flash it alongside the MCU.

You create it for your unit from factory config menu. Or document factory settings before updating MCU, right. Perhaps search for more info or read wiki.

Thank you, I'm going to read it, but I assume that the cfg file you create from the factory settings menu is a backup of your current configuration, not a real clean factory configuration, am I right?

You have a Dasaita MAX6, right?
If yes, can you send me a dmcu.cfg file generated with your device?
If you changed only that setting it is pratically a stock configuration, I think I changed something more...
I'm not sure if it is the normal behaviour but when I update the MCU or if I wipe data from recovery or if I do a factory reset from system settings, the MCU settings are never changed. My custom configuration is never overwritten or deleted.
Thank you,

New issue: Wifi randomly turninf off (without USB beeing disconnected) - PX5 MTCD

Hi there,
despite the issue, that my radio in disconnecting USB (incl. Wifi, randomly, especially when it is colder) - which I tried to fix by replacing the USB chip to a GL852G - I now have a new issue since some days:
Now, my radio also disconnects Wi-Fi randomly without turning on again, while USB itself is not interuppted.
That issue is very new to me.
I installed a newer MCU some days ago (3.13 and 3.17) as this fixed an issue with the Bluetooth App automatically opening at the bottom of the screen when making a phone call.
I did not went back to the previous MCU yet (which was a 3.04 I think), as I don't think the issue is related to this. After MCU upgrade, I didn't have the above mentioned issue since more than a week.
Anyone having a similiar or same issue?
Maybe anony can confirm, MCU > 3.x having a wifi issue?
Thanks a lot!
Christian

Hi Christian,
I had the same issue. In the beginning I was able to compensate the issue with an automation app. (If WLAN turns off -> Turn on) After some time I couldn't activate the WLAN at all without restarting the radio. At some point, I could not do that anymore. Then I looked for a working LTE-Stick, but quickly understood that there is NO working 4G-Stick. Only a few UMTS sticks work. Via XDA-Developer found out that there are 4G sticks that are recognized as USB-to-Ethernet devices. Then I bought the HUAWEI E3372 LTE Surfstick. However, this does not work out-of-the-box with the radio. After a lot of manual work and learning-by-doing (installing an unofficial firmware), I managed to make it work now. The only disadvantage is that I no longer have a hotspot for other devices in the car.
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Appreciate your answer, many thanks.
I am running hal9k ROM. If you have more detailed instructions, it works be great if you could share them with me.
Meanwhile I am trying to get a replacement device, as it is still under warranty and was bought in uk.
Thank you!

Fellow suffer as well.
Any chance of a link or hint of a guide to modify the E3372 stick?

Modifying E3372 was a tough stuff, actually. A lot of try-and-error. At one point I even thought to have bricked the stick.
Anyway, I got all information from following thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../real-3g-4g-usb-modem-sticks-px5-px4-t3898344
On page 3, a link to a russian site is provided:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=883219&st=3620#entry66908061
I do not speak russian, so I used the DeepL Translator in order to translate everything.
To sum up, you need to install a modified webui und firmware which supports ethernet-over-usb (CDC) mode. The Versions I am using are:
E3272s-153_Update_22.491.09.00.00_M_AT_05.10
WebUI 17.100.17.00.143
https://www.lteforum.at/mobilfunk/firmware-versionen-hi-non-hilink-e3372h-inkl-mod.2691/ is a good source for downloading the files.

Hello
I can't turn on wifi.. and usb hub stop working..*
This problem happened after restart factory*
Please help me

Please help Ford Xtrons unit

WiFi won’t turn on, cannot mirror or load a navigation any ideas? Thanks in advance

You're rather short on detail. My first thought the WiFi module is not present anymore. Could be just a lost connection (bad solder) with the MCU or it blew up. Or it could be you changed something and the driver is not loading or is missing but again could be anything at this point.

Thanks, apologies for the brief description I was trying to figure out how to upload pictures off an iPhone, I’m pretty sure the last owner has screwed up the settings and deleted the driver as the fm radio option cannot be pressed either, is there a generic os that can be put back into these with all the original options thanks again for the response

There might be but Xtrons has many models that fit a Ford. You should lookup the info in the about menu and let us know what's the CPU and MCU.

The only info it’s offering is
Processor quadcore T3
Android version 6.0.1
Mcu version T5.3.19-36-40-E53201-17069
System version V8.2.3_20170809.190721_MLT1-DVD
Hope this helps thanks again

Not an MTCD, there might be some discussion in android head unit threads. What does Xtrons support suggest?

[Solved] - Help. After debrick, the rear view camera no longer works. PX5 MTCE_CHS_V3.67.1

Hi all of you.
I hope you can help me with this problem.
After debrick my unit, a seicane with android 10 - (MTCE_CHS_V3.67.1), Octa-Core Cortex [email protected] ghz, 4Gb Ram, specific for mini countryman R60, the rear view camera stopped working.
When I engage reverse gear, the screen turns black, but nothing is visible. For the rest, gps, bluetooth etc, all ok.
Android 9 is now mounted.
I don't think it's a wiring error because it always worked and the problem occurred after the debrick.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

if your screen turn to black it seems that the fuction of the camera is working... the signal you recieve from the its not something special. Just and old type of analog signal.. try to use an app which can open the video manually without the reverse year. Are you sure camera is working?

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I agree perfectly with you. It is a hardware function that does not require any particular configuration. Unfortunately my car is a mini countryman. it is particularly long and complicated to disassemble to access the wiring.
I cannot rule out a wired malfunction but it seems very unlikely to me. the malfunction occurred when the radio was reset after the debrick.

IMHO : Check (re-write) your MTCE_CHS_V3.67.1, and, eventually upgrade !
LE : Unfortunately I don't see a higher version... (https://disk.yandex.com/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/MCU for MTCD, MTCE, MTCP, Intel Sofia3g/CHS)
Contact the seller !

As I am inexperienced with these car radios and would like to avoid disasters, is the MCU common to many radio platforms?
MCU for MTCD, MTCE, MTCP, Intel Sofia3g

Hello everybody.
always concerning my problem I realized that in the factory settings (those protected by the pin) before the brick appeared a voice of the microphone, now it has disappeared. Is it possible to understand why this difference considering that it is a function of the MCU?
Thanks for your collaboration.

Have you installed the older MCU?

Thanks for the reply. Not yet.
I sent a request for assistance to Seicane, the manufacturer of my radio, asking for the firmware for a total reset.
Still no answer, unfortunately.
He waited a little longer and if they don't respond I will install the version you recommended.

I have teh same problem after debrick. Upgrade to Android 10 solved the problem for me, so it's problem with firmware.
