I know there are a lot of versions of CanBox but it's hard to find a bit more information (except some photos). So I decided to do a small reverse engineering of my version.
Someone will ask for what? Out of curiosity. Maybe will be helpful for someone in the future. Maybe someone will share what version he has.
But most of all because maybe someone has a firmware for the MCU? Maybe @hotaudio has such firmware (bin file or CANBUS.UPDE file) to any version of Canbox and help us? For educational purposes, of course.
That's how my CanBox looks like

It would be great to be able to upgrade this boxes. I have an Alfa Romeo 159 and dynamic guiding lines when reverse gear are not available.
I'm pretty sure that the car canbus has that data but the headunit box doesn't support it.
Regards.
A bit offtopic Maybe but do you know a place where yoù can buy the canbus decoder boxes. I have some trouble with mine. I get information from the car but I don't have any sound at all from the little speaker. So no sound from parking sensors, blinking left/right etc.
My car is a opel astra j and I got this canbus. The unit is a px5 from witson.

Unfortunately, I do not know the place where you can buy the CanBox separately.
A few sellers (like this) have an offer where you can buy such a CanBox, but each of them writes that it will fit only to their units.
Although I think most CanBox'es are interchangeable between sellers. I am even inclined to say that many of these CanBox'es are interchangeable between car brands with the correct firmware loaded. You have a perfect example yourself. You have a car Opel Astra and the seller sold you a CanBox to the Chevrolet Cruze Both have CanBus with messages for GM but some of these messages are probably different. That's why the software in CanBox should be adapted for Opel Astra J.
That's my opinion
Did you ask your seller why you do not have the functionality you wrote above?

Yes. We have tried many things. New head unit, new canbox, new harness and new speaker and anything have worked ? when I have tried all this they said the problem is my car but I almost sure it isn't. Because I get the notification on the screen from doors open and parking sensors so I just have to live with out the sound ? I wrote to a different seller to day and asked about the canbox. He sent me a picture of it and I could see it was still for a cruze but the software is newer so maybe that have fixed my problem but still waiting for answer if he will sell canbox only ?

Let us know if the new CanBox (with newset software) has helped. Of course if you buy it
How many CanBoxes have you now? Have you opened one? And maybe previous seller sent you any file to upgrade software?

If you want to buy only box on the xtrons uk site there are.. At £ 30
This is what my unit has. works in my vw jetta 2009
Roadnavi got all the canbus box models available:
http://roadnavi.com
I bought a head unit and canbus combo from xtrons, the hard works fine but connect the canbus and all the lights in the car flash!
I sent it back as they said it was probably faulty, but the code on the back was for a different Merc (B200) and not mine (W164). Anyway, they sent exactly the same unit back and it still doesnt work. I wiah there was a way to just re-flash these devices, it looks exactly the same as the one in your photos.
Right now one that worked would be nice but xtrons are suggesting I return everything so perhaps they just dont have one that will work for my car.
from the disassembled firmware of the MTCB/C MCU, I received the machine-specific codes of the buttons of the steering buttons and torpedo buttons. These codes are then recoded by the MCU into the universal key codes of the head unit for Android

In MTCD/E units the same. MCU in CanBox transcodes messages for buttons into specific(universal) messages for MCU in MTCD/E. Then MCU in MTCD/E (according to on canbus type: Simple/Raise etc.) are transcoded into specific(universal) messages for Andorid.

Just curious, because I have a Astra J myself and no probs with the canbus.
What you have to do is in factory settings, canbus 05GM Raise and it should work after unit reboot.

Can Anyone tell me where can i find the 11 pin connector?
I live in Pune( Near Mumbai).
Thanx,

unable to find it in mumbai..
hi. i'm in mumbai and last 3 months i have been literally banging my head at all the places u named, from lamington road to hira panna to bandra to andheri/irla. but no luck with the htc audio 11pin to 3.5mm jack. please pm me or reply to this about the place to buy.
It is available at Lamington road. I had gone about two weeks back.
NO HELP{
Need to find one in DELHI
HEllppp
tried soldering and harp, but didn't♦ work out..
♠
Why not get a cheap one from ebay - as frauthottelman wrote, any extUSB to 3.5mm will do it. Simple one: http://cgi.ebay.com/3-5mm-audio-Ada...hash=item280323115876&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177
You may wish to have a Mic+Volume control as well - just check this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Volume-Control-...hash=item280323225556&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177
I have both - and both work as announced with the Vox. The latter is very handy as a long push of the MIC will start the VoiceDial and you can steer the device by voice for anything you can assign a *.lnk file for.

try in hirapanna first because i m sure you get it there..
It's in shop no 80(mostly im not sure, its a shop with all crystal cases).Ask him for a mini-usb to audio adapter.He also has a dual one which can split it up into power and audio.

Mini USB?
Rushabh,
I stay in Pune, and am planning to go to Mumbai next Wednesday to purchase( among many other electronic devices) a 3.5 mm jack adapter for my VOX. In your post, you mentioned mini USB to audio adapter. Can you confirm if the miniUSB you are talking about is a 11 pin one? And could you give me an estimate of its price?
Cheers,
Akshay.

@ Rs.200 from Anupam mall opposite Borivali West Station
all the best.
Does anybody know of a simple and guaranteed to work 3.5mm headset (not headphone) to headset adapter that makes iPhone compatible headsets work with Galaxy S?
I have Sennheiser MM 60i, but the mic does not work.
I do NOT want to buy headPHONES adapter (mic doesn't work).
Neither do I want to buy a headset adapter with a built-in separate mic (want to use the higher quality mic in the headset I have).
There are tons and tons of adapters on eBay, but almost all of them are either headPHONE adapters (only 4-pin to 3-pin) or come with their own mic.
Is there a 4-pin to 4-pin 3.5mm female to male adapter that crosses over the wires from iPhone-standard to Nokia/Galaxy S standard?
Am nearly going mad trying to find an adapter like this at local stores.
Any help appreciated!
***EDIT*** Cable works
I was looking for the same kinda thing, I stumbled across this on eBay yesterday and ordered it.
Now I'm not sure it will work 100% but if you can wait a couple of weeks I'll know for sure then, and if it doesn't I've only lost $1
or with decent soldering skills you can make one
i made one from an old nokia ad57 adapter cable and a female four pole plug
i cut the wires from the nokia adaptor and soldered the female four pole on switching the sleeve with ring ( i.e. tip/ring/ring/sleeve male plug to tip/ring/sleeve/ring female plug)
this is the result

I got one when I purchased some headphones that i got that are made by urbanears.
It seems to work well, the company calls it the "nokia adapter", however it makes the headphones work perfectly on my phone.
Does the urbanears adapter only work with headPHONES or also with headSET including the mic?
Yes, I guess I could dig out my soldering iron, source the 4-pin 3.5mm plugs and start fiddling, but I was kind hoping for a $4 eBay part to do the trick

I will wait for your review
Or if anyone can post a detail tutorial to explain how to do this adapter manually? Does it reduce the sound quality?
doesnt reduce sq afaik and thats using a very revealing iem like the triplefi10
also the mod is really easy, the most difficult part is soldering because the plug is small but not really difficult as to require special tools or special skills
1. i just cut the nokia adaptor
2. then i separate the 4 wires inside and determine which is tip, ring, ring, sleeve via a tester/multi tester, the wires are colored so write down which is which
3. then i got the female plug and used a cutter on the rubber around it, slice it down the middle on two sides so you can open it. if you have a threaded female plug, you just open it.
4. then you solerd the wire according to the pattern i posted above. only switch the ring and sleeve around.
5. close up everything and youre done

It's simply an extension lead, although it only contains three wires, so you have to completely strip the socket and jack and rewire it for it to work. I bought one but before i could wire, the vacuum took the socket it from me xD I really need to get around to buying another one.
I found this adapter on xda and a few other sites, i really want one but don't wanna shell 20 bucks for an adapter, that i know will break at some point.

$0.99 Good deal if it works
iphone/Nokia headset
If you buy a set of Creative HS730i headsets - you get Nokia adapters with them. They are about £40 with delivery, I only purchased them for the Nokia adapter as I couldn't find any adapters sold so I could em use my iphone headset with my Samsung Galaxy S. I did email Creative to see if they sold the adapters on their own but they said no!!!
I have not been able to confirm if they work as I am using a custom rom and kernel, which breaks the headset calling capability.
However I dont see why it would not work, as that is what is advertised to do.

interesting i saw this once before and thought it was just a 2.5 to 3.5 or a 4 pong to 3 prong adapter. It dose not really clearly state that it will convert the ground and mic so iphone type headsets work with the SGS.
From the the very little description they give i would say it just makes the output to just a 3 prong stereo output. Meaning it disables the mic so even iphone headsets will work like regular headphones. Which really defeats the purpose, no way to know until someone buys it.
BTW what Kernel/ROM combo are you using that breaks the headset calling? i myself got speedmod and doc and if i use my Samsung headset everything is fine.
Hey Folks,
I have bougth the Creative HS-730i and used the Adapter with my AKG k370 headset, witch was builded for using with the iPhone.
I can confirm that the adaper from the HS730i works with my AKG headset!
I can hear my music clearly, the mic is working and the button works too!
Have a nice weekend
hmm interesting i looking for something i can get at my local best buy. will see if they have any iphone headphones with nokia adapter

I haven't received it yet, still waiting
Hoping I get it soon!!!
I see its in the settings but I'm wondering if our device is capable or not. Right now, I'm in the middle of choosing this or the sensation and its a really tough call. I love both and I'm happy dumping my g2x.

I'm not entirely sure, from what I've read it makes the phone into a media server, so I would assume it would theoretically provide better clarity as it would be the television decoding the media and not the phone.

I wouldn't rule out mhl yet unless we test it and see that it doesn't work. Next week I will purchase one to test

Thx. I tried two rca a\v splitters and the vid came out fuzzy. Can't imagine the brand would matter here

Can you tell us what kind of cable that was? Rca or component? That's kind of the key info here

I'm not sure of the difference but here's a pic of what I used.

Apparently brand does matter. The splitters I've tried all output fuzzy. I can make out images of the desktop/apps in the waves of fuzz.
Strange that I cannot find a bit of information anywhere on this topic, much less which accessories to buy for tv out.

That is very interesting. I will definitely try to get some better pics and maybe we can compare differences? Although, i agree. I never knew of the function til going through all the settings.

Is that a four pole rca cable? I believe it is, but I couldn't tell from the picture.

Using this type of cables is completely new to me. Would you explain four pole? All I can say for certain is that they're just an old Zune HD set of cables I had laying around. Ironically, they never worked for it and got lost after it was stolen. I don't really find them that useful though as it's clearly not anything near HDMI output quality. I still find it strange that this "feature" hasn't been even mentioned.

Connected mine to the TV using one of these too. The strange thing is that instead of outputting the signal through the yellow colored jack it comes through the red audio one.
Picture looks decent considering it's one rca connector. It looks like either 720x480 or 640x480 to me but, I can't tell for sure. I know my PS2 outputs 512x448 for most games so I get black bars on all four sides however, with this phone I only see them on the right and left which makes me think it's 640x480 but, since it's interlaced it's hard for me to be sure which also makes me wonder if the image is down-sampled or something as it appears to look pretty smoothed. Picture isn't great but, I've seen much worse. Screen output rotates with the phone which is nice. T-mobile TV works on a few channels but not many. Most everything else works ok.
When using screen-share (DLNA) I can't get the PS3 to find the phone and, I can't get the phone to find the PS3. I'm hoping an update will fix it.
The Twonky dlna app works though its a little buggy
I was on the fence about this particular phone, but this thread just sold it.
Thanks, I was content with my Nook Color until the right phone came along, and i've been watching everything that's been coming out.
Given the performance, features, and capabilities of this phone, and now THIS...
I'll be picking it up within the next few days or so, and be on the lookout for cables to test this out with.
Posted to thank the OP and tag the thread so I can get back to it more quickly when I have something to contribute. My first entry to the smart phone ballgame, this is gonna be fun.
ETA: picked one up yesterday. I like it, i'm going to find a video cable for it today.
I'm wondering if the reason they didn't advertise this feature is because the backing software or even hardware wasn't bug free. I have a 3.5mm plug with 4 connectors but can't get video on any of the rca plugs at the tv. I can see that video is being outputted but only a black and white, extremely distorted "picture" displays (nothing like the reports of it working here).
I ordered the zune cable from amazon, may report back if that works.
I used a four pole headphone type jack cable that came with my head unit for my car. The four poles are left audio, right audio, video and ground separated by black dividers.
I was able to get it to work. It's not great video, but it works good for a car audio/video output. I am able to use it along with Google navigation as a pseudo gps unit.
Maybe some of you know this Thread
FIRST THREAD
As i could follow so far the Thread ist for Units with a RK3066 Processor.
But now a new Generation came out with the RK3188 Processor.
This Generation has different Firmware, they are not interchangeable with the RK3066 Generation.
After searching the old Thread i found 2 possible Firmwares.
I will update this Thread as far as new firmwares come up. If you found somethink let me know i will publish it.
Pls give me the Name of the Author as well so he will get the respect he has earned.
So in general this Thread just to collect all Firmwares for the RK3188 Processor Devices.
For Info about Installing Instruction visit the first Thread

Had the same Problems. It seems that the unit is to high for the ISO Metall Frames. I've taken my old 1 DIN Frame, cutted the upper Part in the middle and bent it until it fitted into my 2 DIN Hole .
For the Cover i had taken an old black file, glued it to an pice of paper and cutted it until it fitted. Not the best solution but it works for the moment.
( sorry for Bad English )
i didnt need the metal cage for my install. Im talking about the plastic trim piece. Thats what i cant get to fit.
Me have the same problem. I need to modific. My unit is for vw and gps antenna and usd cable dont fit.
im wondering if auto pumpkin has a trim piece that would fit it.
I have temporarily withdrawn all my rk3188 pre-rooted images. I recommend, for now, the original rk3188 images.
There is something to be fixed. I will have them tested properly on my upgraded rk3188 unit.

It works basically like having an Android tablet on your car hooked up to your sound system. The apps work fine and the units are fairly responsive and quick. Keep in mind that this is meant fo car use so you're not expected to be playing the latest games and you'll be fine. There are tons of videos on YouTube for you to get an idea of how quick they are. The units are sold on eBay and Amazon if you want to buy from the usua sources, but there's also the option of buying straight from the chinese sites and save a few bucks.
I just got my stereo today.
I already see a MAJOR issue that I cannot figure out. There is NO developer options.
In ABOUT device I select the build number many many times and it still does not unlock the developer options. Please someone help me! Thanks.
I've got Pumpkin's newer RK3188 unit with 1024x600 screen with Parrot module built in.
"Pumpkin Universal 7 Inch 1024*600 Flush Panel Touchscreen Quad Core Android 4.4 Car Stereo 2 Din with Parrot Bluetooth and Better Radio Reception support DAB+ MirrorLink Aux Output OBD2 WiFi 3G Steering Wheel Control" (sorry can't post URLs yet)
Just updated with malaysk's rom. I just finished in the carpark. Radio, reverse camera, BT, Wifi working well. Need to confirm whether the 3G USB dongle works or not though.
The boot time seems to be longer than before. Used to be around 25min, now it's closer to a minute. I will re-test and report back.
[Edit] Subsequent boots are 29seconds. It seems like it was the first time thing.
Also, 3G dongle doesn't work anymore. It was pretty flaky before rooting anyway. I won't be troubleshooting that.
c12-0257 rk3188
Hi Guys,
I purchased 7" no dvd and no button audio unit.It is has Rk3188 processor and the model is C12-0257 . The current firmware is sucks. I asked the seller for root but they are not responding. Also As I see there are MCU's KSP,KGL ect. But in my model the MCU is 5703-20151231-091504-V01 what does it means? How can i root it and install custom roms.

I recently upgraded. It's exactly the same process as the first install.
Hello guys,
Finally I had the chance to mount this headunit on my Ford Focus 2014.
My first impression are very positive because there are a lot of improvements from the previous model the m700s.
1. Phone call quality.
2. Fakra connector for gps and 4g+.
3. New fan cooling.
For the rest is like the previous model without any type of problem.
I am very satisfied with my new headunit.
Here are same photos of the M6 pro

Am I crazy or is there simply no way to have the side buttons always illuminated? It seems to only work off of a 'time'(no way to adjust what time though?) or with the headlights (I don't have canbus to trigger this)

connect the illumination wire on the main harness to (switched) +12v. Whatever you have powering the the ACC wire will do.
What canbus setting you use.
I have panel buttons like you and have hi world vw2012 and the buttons don't work on my mekede 6/128 nonpro.
