PX5 Oreo Capacitive front buttons won't light up - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

I've recently purchased a Dasaita unit with PX5 Android 8.0 with 4GB ram
I've installed it and everything is working fine except 2 things, which I think might be related.
First issue is that my capacitive buttons at the bottom of the unit doesn't light up at night. The capacitive buttons can light up if I were to try to change colour in the settings, but it doesn't light up at all when I exit the change colour settings.
Second issue is that I see this Night settings in the display setting. I assume that it'll automatically adjust to the selected brightness at night. That doesn't work too.
Any inputs on how I can fix them?
Thanks

Both are related to your light switch. I don't know how you can change it but maybe it is even canbus related

On Settings you can select the behavior of the button lights:
1) Always light up
2) Light up controlled by HeadUnit
for the case 2):
There is an wire labelled as "illumination" that should be connected to a 12V for ligths to be up once you switch on your car lights.
Check where that wire is connected to

Hi,
Thanks for the response
I've connected the pink wire to my ACC wire. Now the light is lighted up permanently and it's in night mode permanently instead.
How do I make it so that the headlights are controlling it?
Thanks

Check a diagram of radio power socked in your car, or if you have multimeter check voltages on socket when your lights are on and off.

as far as i know headlights are controlling it only if you have automatic daytime/night lights installed in your car. This way if you leave the lights in AUTO mode it should work. If you have that and it still doesnt work its probably a canbus issue. If you dont have automatic lights then it should still work when you flip the switch of your lights in ON position (mind that some cars have lights on in 0 position also but that won't light up your keys).

Xtron TB706PL mcu issues?

Hi all, hoping someone is able to help with the below issue.
Have a Xtron TB706PL, currently the volume up button is not working.
All other buttons work fine, pressing the Reset button briefly mutes the unit on/off, long press resets the unit.
The unit was working fine when I first picked it up, but bluetooth was not working in terms of finding devices.
Did a dmcu.cfg update using the file from the link below, and the problem with the volume button began after that. Unfortunately I did not back up the system dmcu.cfg correctly as I saved it to flash instead of GPS (SD Card) before the change.
Managed to get the bluetooth finding devices though.
Any way of getting the factory dmcu.cfg?
Is that most likely the issue?

Cheers,
Have you tried assigning button in factory settings?
Thanks marchnz for the reply.
I believe I have got the correct process, but could be doing something wrong.
I have gone to factory settings and reset the key panel, then when I go to key panel study, pressing any of the four input keys does nothing at all, as if it doesn't register the press. Nothing appears on the screen to allocate the function for the key. I have seen other people's videos on how this is meant to work but doesn't for me.
As a new member, can't link any think yet.
YouTube search:
Touch-screen calibration and touch button program for PX5
(Be sure to touch the "red" mark!, I did it backwards messing around and caused my touch input to be all inverted)
Try this, I did the same thing on my Dasaita unit.
Note: (at least for my unit) don't program longpress function...it won't take it and thus default you back to square one (no working panel buttons)
Hope this helps

Guys, thanks for the help and advice!!!
Doing what Hkw84 advised resolved the issue, video made things clear.
I was using panel key study in trying to setup the keys and not the touch key study which makes complete sense now as the keys on my unit a touch sensitive like the screen...doh
Appreciate the help, deciding if i should upgrade to malaysk Android 8 now
Cheers,

Is it possible to change the way the wheel controls work on MTCD (GS PX5 Oreo)?

Can anyone advise on how I could ho about changing the list of apps that gets started by the Mode function on my Xtrons unit (MTCD GS PX5 oreo)?
I know someone has done something similar with a Joying unit, but as far as I can see, they replaced the "Sofia-1-C9-Server... apk) with an alternative version.
I've pulled all the system apps to my PC via ADB (root) via WiFi, and I can see apps like MTCControlSettings.apk and MTCContolInfo.apk but there are no apks with "server" in their name
So I'm not sure where to start looking for the APK which handles the steering wheel control "Mode" handling.
Does anyone know how this is handled ?
are you able to resolve it? im having the same problem. btw my unit is a MTCE_CSN thanks

I've not had time to investigate this.
For the moment, I've just set my Mode button to be the Home button, as thats better the cycling through a load of useless "modes" like the AV input and their useless audio and video players.
I did try to work out how the radio communicated with the system apps, but I'm having a lot of difficulty de-odex'ing (decompiling) even the radio app. Because the apps are Oreo versions, and most of the decompilers don't fully support Oreo odex (compiled application program) files
I did post a question to the general Dev part of XDA about de-odex'ing Oreo files but didnt get any responses
I would be interested in this if you figure it it out as I'd like to get dab in the list of apps it cycles through.

That would be enough for me, but with onboard apps or settings i haven't found a way to change it. I can use my Wheel control for changing volume and skipping music in any music app I am using, but the mode button always switches throug radio, ac input, mediaplayer and dvd.
The app for steering wheel control which was preinstalled on my head unit, doesn't react to any button and the firmware settings only to the hardware buttons of my head unit.
So, how did you do it?

In the Settings, ( think its in the Car) section, is the setting (app) which allows you to associate specific steering wheel buttons with specific actions.
I thought all generic units had this app, because the steering wheel button for each car operate differently.
My Subaru only has one wire from the steering wheel, and has 6 buttons. Each button has a different electrical resistance, and you have to press each button, and then associate a Short Press and a Long Press, on that button, to a specific action.
The controls like Volume + and - and Track + and - and Mute are pretty standard.
The only other button I have is the Mode button, and I assigned that to the "Mode" action in the settings. However the Mode operation, cycles though a predefined list.
So I simply reassigned the Mode button to the Home action.
I did try a few other things, like seeing if I could press 2 buttons at the same time e.g Mode and Track +, but it either treated this as a press on the Mode button or a press on the Track + button. So that didn't work.
If I get time, I'll have another go at decompiling the system apps, but last time I tried to do that, I could not see anything that looked like the list of apps.
If I had programmed it, I'd probably put the app names into a string resource, but goodness knows what the programmed did who wrote the system apps in these units.

Thanks for the quick reply. I already tried the factory settings but my steering wheel buttons won't work there. I only can set action to the buttons on my radio. Sadly I have to wait for any other solution. But thanks again for sharing your experience :good:
What brand and model of HU do you have?
Hey,
Opel/Vaux/Chevy cars have canbus hard mapped buttons.
Mine can't be configured through the in-built apps or factory settings either.
One would have to examine the canbus.apk / MTCManager to maybe update the xposed for MTCDTools.
MTCD Tools can see the button codes (3 digits), but can't map any other function or even intercept.

I have a Xtrons PB78QSFP-B which is designed for a Ford Focus and came with a standard canbus adapter for ford. But I have the old model of the HU which has only 2GB Ram not 4.
My guess is, that Ford has hard mapped buttons too, like Xorit said it about Opel/Vaux etc
update guys! mtcdtools will do the trick! though the old mapping will flicker but still the newly assigned actions will prevail.
i can live with this already. maybe ill just find the solution to delete the factory set MODE actions :laugh:

Did your have to root your unit or install anything like Xposed etc? Or does it just work with the stock firmware?

So i manage to open it and touch as well keys dont work at all. I connected a mouse and i go to factory settings and there isn't touch panel study. I pressed keys study but again there arent response. So i think that if someone can send me a file with touch and buttons settings it would be great
This is what I have in my PX5, MTCD, MX car Android player (MX3.71, upgraded from 3.06). Screen is 8", keys are configurated for Kia CEED (but can be reinitialised).

Question Remap TEYES T-Pro Steering wheel buttons

Hey guys. About a year ago I installed a Teyes T-Pro in my '14 Focus ST, and while its better than the ST1 radio I had with a 4" screen, I hate this thing. An entire 1 inch vertical segment of the screen does not work, the screen does not turn on when the ambient temp is below 50 degrees F (until it heats itself up, takes like 25+ min in winter), subwoofer pre out doesn't work, and many many more stupid issues.
The reason I'm posting, though, is I would like to remap one of the steering wheel keys. The built in app to do this, of course, does nothing. Apps like button remapper also do nothing, probably bc the buttons function over CAN-Bus. When I press the microphone button on my steering wheel it opens an app called "car-info" which also does almost nothing. I am wondering if there is a way to have another app (google assistant) open right after this "Car-info" app opens. Also, if anyone has any experience with the T-Pro any input would be very appreciated. TEYES Tech support never responded to my multiple messages, of course, and I can't seem to find a head unit that sucks less and I don't want to roll the dice on another Teyes product.
Any input would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks a ton
Anyone got anything?

Contact TEYESAustralia, Hopefully they can give you a solution
What kind of car do you have (year, make, model, etc)?
Did you install the T-Pro yourself?
Do you have schematics for your car? If so, how do your steering wheel buttons connect to the old head unit?
Can you tell from the schematics if the buttons are resistive or not? Only resistive buttons can be remapped.
If your SWC are resistive, then you should be able to directly connect those buttons to the T-Pro inputs...I believe they are labelled key1 and key2. If the SWC are not resistive, I don't believe there is anything you can do about remapping them.

Insignia panel buttons

I've installed MTCE_GS_V3.01_3 head unit, and while steering wheel buttons work fine, the central panel buttons are no go.
I'm certain I've connected every cable that was connected on the original installation.
I've seen some suggestions on youtube to reset the panel button list, and then choose key study to add all buttons anew, however that does not help.
Right now Can bus type is set to 55 GM Simple, and that's probably the only one that works with steering wheel buttons.
I've tried changing knob type and other settings to no avail - I do full restart after the change, but when in key study no button press makes a difference.
Are there any suggestions what other settings should I try changing, or is there a way to check if a buttons press sends any signal at all?
You seem to be mixing/confusing steering wheel key assignment with the touch key assignments. These are two very different things. Canbus has nothing to do with the touch keys.
There is a touch sound setting that will cause the unit to beep every time one of the touch keys are touched. Please have a look at my instructional tutorial on how to set the touch keys:
How to reset the touch buttons instructional
This thread is not asking how to reset the touch buttons down the side of the panel screen. First go to Settings... Car.. Factory settings.. password 126 Then touch Key study category at the top Next Touch Key Study First the system will want...

I'm not sure we're talking about the same things, correct me if I'm wrong.

To my understanding (until now) they should be configured using Panel key study?

That looks like the control panel for the original radio.... and probably connected DIRECTLY to the original radio. Unless they operate through can bus, I don't think you can configure those.
I've seen them working on YouTube videos and such.
Agree with @Bob_Sanders on this. I was under the impression that it was just touch buttons off to one side of the head unit screen like many of these head units.
I suggest reaching out to the manufacturer of the radio with your question regarding the button panel.

Then it's possibly connected through can bus and you MIGHT get it working if you connect up your Key1 and Key2 wires and try the key study again.
I'm not sure if you have a can bus box on there already. If you do I'm not sure if you can run the box AND the key1/2 wiring at the same time. Try it though.
