Running Alexa/GoogleHome into the head unit? - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

I'm thinking about installing an Amazon Echo or similar into my car as an AI interface.
Question, is there an input and/app that will mute or pause any music player currently in use and let Alexa or google home talk back?
Similar to your phone pausing or muting when an incoming call or notification comes in.
Or, has anyone managed to run Alexa in their Android unit? I.E. convert their Head unit into an echo or dot etc?
I have not purchased an echo or dot yet, and I'll probably go down the line of Raspberry Pi just for the tinker inside of me.
Cheers.

why not just install the Alexa app from the play store?

you still require the echo/dot unit to run it.
Your phone or other Android unit is only the settings portal.
Alexa needs to communicate through her own hub unit

That's not true at all. The app has full Alexa functionality as well as being used for changing the settings on other devices. The only difference is you have to press a button to activate instead of saying Alexa

Thanks.
I'll look into it.
I've seen on line some people connecting Alexa via Bluetooth into their headunit and also connecting her into the OBD2 input.
Think I'll just take the plunge and pick one up to tinker with in the meantime

Any update on this? Anyone successful in running echo or Google home with this using Bluetooth?

Uhh, we have android head units, and the google home is the same thing as OK or Hey Google on the head unit lol, this is redundant and pointless guys.

Agree , its pointless provided the HU works fine with google assistant, but most of the time its not! Either it crashes or hangs the system or very slow to respond!

Update?

Any luck? I love Alexa at home and would be great in car with wake word. Can you ask for directions, play music , trigger home events? I receive my head unit tomorrow.

I run alexa on my Chinese head unit, it's not perfect, but I set it to load automatically and it does respond to voice, ie no button pressing, it's faster and less processor hungry than Google assistant.
It will quite happily play and change radio channels, music, news etc and loads Google maps with my route when I say "alexa, navigate home" for example.
Only issue is, you can't run the app in auto mode so I run it with a split screen, nav on one side, alexa on the other.
Responds to my voice even with lots of road noise.

On your headunit there should be a screen that has About...System... or System Info or the like. Having a screenshot of this screen can be helpful to know exactly what kind of headunit you have (i.e. manufacturer, firmware versions, Android version, etc). There are identifying details on that screen that can be helpful to others on the forum.
It helps bring context to both help requested and help provided by forum members. Plus it helps forum moderators ensure questions end up in the right forum. Basically. one could expect similar results to your experience using alexa/Google on same or similar specfication headunit. How else would anyone else know if they have same/similar headunit without that identifying screenshot of About System?
Just trying to explain why it is desirable to have the details that a screenshot of the About System can provide.

I get that, but the other user was a tad curt.

Mirrorlink allows the device to seamlessly connect with the car's audio/video head unit.
And the samsung drive link app(currently available only for gs3) mirrors the screen on your phone to the car a/v head unit touchscreen so that one can access the maps/call/notifications of the phone directly from the head unit touch screen.

GPX viewer or similar app?

Hi,
anyone can recommend any application (if it exists) that would be able to read GPX tracks and give me a view on the watch whether I am on track or not? In best case over a map. Doesn't have to be stand alone. I usually have my phone with me anyway. I just don't want to be pulling out my phone every now and then.
Thanks.
Hey,
I´m interested in the exact same thing. Need it for biking, hiking and more.
Also I was wondering if there is a possibility to sync it with google maps or an other Navigation App on my Phone. Would love to start Maps on my Phone type in my destination and follow it on the watch. So that I don`t have to pull out my Phone again and again if I´m lost in the city for example.
Thanks
I'm interested in this too. Also, I know that Viewranger offer an Android app but not a Tizen compatible one. Does anyone know of a mapping app suitable for hiking etc. (i.e. will work with gpx route files or similar) that is available for Tizen?
I found out something already. Komoot seems to be pretty close. Although it works on Gear S3, it doesn't seem to offer this functionality yet on the watch. Offers it on sister Android application though. I sent them question/request today on this. They seem to be listening to requests from user community so perhaps they listen and act. Maybe it helps if you write them too.

Komoot have advised me that they already have an app compatible with the Gear. This is what they said:
Hi Gareth we already have done that! You can get the Gear app extension you need for the komoot app to communicate with your watch in the Samsung Gear Store. Can you tell me, which phone you are using? Best regards Daniela

I told her I've just ordered my S3 Frontier from Amazon.es and hope to get it next week, so will try their app then and report back.
Of course they have. That's what I mention above ("it works on Gear S3") but it doesn't offer the funcionality we are looking for. You can't see GPX track on watch together with your position (and map underneath it in best case) so you can follow it. I assume it offers just navigation (shows only direction signs) but Komoot doesn't navigate on external GPX tracks.
I got e-mail moment ago from them too saying:
Currently not, but you can post your suggestion in our forum here:

Hi all, I am not sure if anyone managed to get any progress on this but I am happy to inform you that finally there is an application that does what we have been looking for. It is called Gear Navigator (http://mobiteka.pl/index.php/component/k2/item/257-navigator) so feel free to test. There are still some things that can be improved but the essential features are there. I have been running it since beginning of Frebruary and I am very satisfied. Feel free to provide your comments and findings.

With Gear Navigation you can open GPX tracks and you get the map on your watch, better than Komoot in that way. It would be nice if it could work without the phone and without internet, even by just showing the tracks and your position, even without the surrounding map. That would make it more "hiker friendly" for those situations in which you may not have the phone (or need to keep it off to save battery) and you don't have any internet.
I see that the new Gear Navigation Standalone states to have GPX features, but I can't figure out how to upload a GPX to the watch or to the app!
Anyone tried it?
Well, I didn't use it without internet connection yet but I was expecting that the only limitation would be that I won!'t see the actual map but still see the track and my position. Do you say you tried but it doesn't work that way?

You're right, it seems to work even withouth internet. It keeps the map that's in cache, so if you preloaded the area you would even have the map. That's pretty sweet, kind of what the Fenix 5x does for just 800 euros!
That's great news. I was actually cooperating with the Gear Navigator developer and pursuaded him to develop the GPX feature. I did highlight to him that although the feature does what I wanted, the biggest gap I see is the inability to use the app without data connection. I even think the maps from Google are not the best for outdoor activities. He told me he will consider it but I am not very optimistic about it as it would be too much work for him and it seems that the demand is quite small.
Hi,
New owner of a samsung gear, i'm looking for what you discuss about!
Gear navigator is quiet good and seems the better!!! But something missing for me, i would like to import gpx from another place in order to follow it on the map, bit i didn't sucess.
If someone have some advice to do it, it would be great!!
Hi,
It's easy. You just click on the GPX file (in file browser, not GPX Navigator) a choose to open it in Gear Navigator.
R.
Okay, I'm trying to locate this app. Is it "Gear Navigator Standalone"? I only have a Bluetooth model so does this app need a watch with a data connection? Or does it need a phone and does it only work with Samsung phones? I've got a Blackberry Priv which is a BB ANDROID phone.
While the price of $2.99 is not outrageous, I really don't want to spend money if it is not going to work (no refund in the samsung store????).
JurekDJ, when you mention just above, open the file in the file browser, if this on a phone or on the watch - as you may be able to tell, I'm fairly new to the watch.
Any other info would be most helpful.

SMS Reader

Hi all, convert back to Android after a couple of years on Windows Phone. Missing Cortana and it's ability to read texts to me, make call handsfree etc etc.
I have found a few apps that read texts on the phone speaker, but can't find anything that works through the car Bluetooth with the sound coming over the car speakers.
Does anyone know an app that will do this please? I spend a lot of time on the car and the lack of this feature is an issue.

I have that installed but it doesn't have the same features for the car as the Windows version has.
You can't dial a number on the car Bluetooth and do voice control from there.
And again, it's not available officially in Australia.
Thanks anyway

How did you go with this? If your still trying things you could try smart connect. It's a Sony app but I have it installed on my mate 9 and so far it works the same. You can set up "events" so when your mate 9 connects to a certain device it will perform certain tasks, one of them being read texts. You can also have it turned the feature off when it disconnects.
I found you can use Tasker with various scripts to mimic the Cortana on Windows actions. But I just haven't had time to explore it. I am using "SMS, my Car and me" to read out messages. When I get some time I will have a look at your suggestion . Thank you for posting it here.

Sending data to the MFD

Hey,
Does anybody know how to send data to the MFD (Multi Function Display)? I have a Corsa D. I get a "Welcome!!!" when it starts up.
I've tried decompiling a few apps (MTCCanbus, PCRadio) to see how they do it but it's pretty convoluted since you don't get the original variables and class names when decompiling.
Edit:
Just adding some useful resources to help me in my endeavors.

I think someone may have done it in the very similar MTCB/C headuntis a few years back. You would also have to know all the code for your car's CAN Bus system as well I think

Yes, it exists, but you need to find it and work out how to make it say what you want, I think it has been done to some extent for VWs, but I cant remember where, so youve got 3 years of MTCB forum to search through including the massive megathread that existed for 18 months before we got our own forum.

Sure. In MTCMusic, you'd override the SendCanbusinfo(int, int) method in com.microntek.music/MusicActivity to broadcast the com.microntek.canbusdisplay intent action with extra time set to something other than the current playing time.
Of course this would only work for MTCMusic. If you wanted to use a 3rd-party media player, you could construct the same broadcast intent and pass the same info.

Question Noisy sound when call by CarLink?

Hello,
I have CarLink version 2.23.0228.0844 installed on my OledPro head unit.
If I use CarPlay via CarLink, when making or receive calls, the sound suddenly get very loud after 1-2 beeps. And the whole call was very noisy. I believe the problem is from CarLink, as the sound is still normal if I call over the default Bluetooth connection of the head unit.
I tried searching every solution with CarLink but no luck.
Has anyone had the similar problem?

Not familiar with your unit, Mine, carlink Uses Wi-Fi for everything but phone, it uses Bluetooth You might be able to use a config,txt file to correct volume levels and bluetooth version.
you'll need fat32 formatted sd card with the "Isec6315update" out of the full update zip and a config.txt with this on it.

Being an Oledpro, where I have never heard off, doesn't tell us it's a FYT.
We can only derive from your MCU that it is a YIN type FYT with manufacturer code 53.
And CarLink is a reverse engineered piece of software to mimic the Android Auto layer in OEM units as good as possible.
Anyway, just like @03hdfatboy already mentioned: As far as I know also under Android Auto the BT connection is used for phone calls.
What might be an option to check is if your phone is set to "use WiFi for phone calls" and try to switch that on/off.

I think OledPro is a new 12,3 inch Android unit in Vietnamese market, since 2022.
As your suggestion, I tried to switch mode of "Call over WiFi" to On then Off on my iPhone 14 Pro, but it doesn't solve the problem.
I backed up the system using your guide post, and forgot the line "don't backup 360 camera". After backed-up, I modified the config.txt with the lsec6315update, and have successfully applied the config.txt, now the sound becomes a little bit better.
But, the system swiped my Camera 360 app. Is there a Camera 360 apk file to re-install it?

So far my backup script did not backup the 360 camera part as the script crashed on units without it.
I will now simply create two scripts: one for 360 camera and one for units without 360 camera.
In the mean time I wrote a script that should (re)install the 360 camera software.
For others: It will install the software, but it will of course only work if your unit really has the (hardware) 360-camera chip installed.
Please try the script: 360_installer.zip and let me know if it works.
As usual: unzip to a clean USB-stick and flash it.

So far my backup script did not backup the 360 camera part as the script crashed on units without it.
I will now simply create two scripts: one for 360 camera and one for units without 360 camera.
In the mean time I wrote a script that should (re)install the 360 camera software.
For others: It will install the software, but it will of course only work if your unit really has the (hardware) 360-camera chip installed.
Please try the script: 360_installer.zip and let me know if it works.
As usual: unzip to a clean USB-stick and flash it.

Strange. The apk should simply be on your system and this script only restores the 360res folder and contents.
My system does not have the 360 configuration so I can't check.
Someone else here with a 360 system and more knowledge about it?
Hello, I have a CPU unit: UMS512S MCU 2022.07.08 the problem concerns I can't find anywhere to increase the sensitivity of the microphone conversation via carlik 2.0 version 2.22.0714.0919 and via BT the voice is hard to hear can anyone help me?
Same problem….
To prevent fragmented info I will answer your cross-posted question here:
What helps a tiny bit is to add the following lines to a config.txt:
Code:
persist.sys.zlink.mic.vol=9.9
persist.audio.mic.senstivity=1
persist.btmic.gain=10
persist.btspk.gain=7
Simply put that config.txt and an lsec7862update for a uis7862, or an lsec6316update for a sui8581a, on a blank usb-stick and flash it.
As said: this only helps a little bit. It is just that the internal microsophone sucks. (like I already mentioned in another topic by you where you asked exactly the same).
Also @louforgiveno mentioned above solution a few days ago in a post.

persist.sys.zlink.mic.vol=9.9
persist.btmic.gain=10
persist.btspk.gain=7[
persist.audio.mic.senstivity=1

Would it be enough for me to add these codes?

Yes, but the bottom line (ec_version) is not needed.

I did as you said and changed the config file. but there is no change. I haven't tried it on bluetooth, I just tried it on carplay. the caller's voice is very scratchy. as if the speakers were blown. In my previous tests, the sound in bluetooth was better than carplay, but still not very good.
as a result the config settings did not make any changes.

They did make a change if you check your properties.
But I already mentioned that it would be a very minor improvement. It is going from terrible to slightly less terrible.
