BMW E46 canbus

Hello
I Have MTCD Device (GS). I Have newest MCU 1.93. When I select from factory settings canbus: bmw see in apps application: vehicle but not working, also my steering wheel not working. When I set canbus on none my wheel working (ofc all without next/prev - im using mtcdtools for it). With canbus: BMW cant set buttons.
I Think my canbus decoder working if (in canbus option I have set on: none) steering wheel working? Or device has other way for it?

I have mazda cx5 and aftermarket can bus decoder.
My decoder is able to get the reverse signal (it is coded by the can bus) and to transform the steering wheel buttons onto standard signals that can be read by aftermarket stereos (Alpine, pioneer, Kenwood, etc)
If I connect the headunit without can bus decoder, steering wheel buttons work...
If I connected the can bus decoder I had to remap again all buttons...as the signal.is different.
In your case you have a permanent decoder so the signal is transformed always....but the stereo is not recognizing at all.
Do you have any other can bus decoder option apart from.bmw? Try it
Did you check if your connections are on? (Not loose plugs)

Thanks for answer. I have canbus decoder like a: http://www.roadnavi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/RN_CanBUS_Decoder02.jpg
When I select BMW in factory setting I have vehicle app, with other dont see this app. So I think canbus working. I will check leter maybe I need to remap all wheel buttons as u said.

BMW E39, E46 and earlier do not use Canbus if K-Bus, use it from E60, E90

So I need to remove my canbus decoder from device? Or what? How can I enable functions from vehicle app.

I have exact the same issue. Canbus is set to NO. Only that way my steering wheel buttons do work, once I tried the BMW Union and BMW Electronic canbussettings, I am not able to use the steering wheel buttons. Either the vehicle information app does not provide any car specific information.
Seems like to CANBUS decoder I received with my Xtrons (MTCD_GS) does not decode any vehicle information.
The thing I would like is a virtual/graphic PDC, I have it built in OEM. But when I put the car in reverse it doesn't show any PDC, only a blackscreen since I dont have a reverse camera.
Does anyone know how to get more information trough canbus?
I've got a BMW E46 320Ci 1999 (European).

Check the wire connections if you can bypass the swc controls only directly to the headunit and the input of the can-bus for the rest

OK but when I set canbus on BMW (union) I have vehicle app but no informations in, all in blank. So wheel and informations from canbus no working.

Hi,
For me it works in same way. When any CanBus mode is selected then steering wheel keys do not work. Our BMW are using I-Bus to broadcast messages within vehicle entertainment system.
Here is the scheme:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
So our CanBus decoder is not really CanBus but IBus . It is wired to MFL and used only to obtain steering wheel keys events. This is the reason why "Steering Wheel Keys" mapping tool does not work in case of BMW (E39, E38, E46).
As far as I know in VW dedicated units you can control e.g. climate panel (IHKA) using CanBus decoder.

Are you sure that E46 actually had IBus? i thought its only using the kbus?

K-Bus, I-Bus - there is no difference at all. Protocol structure is the same. Just different peripherals are connected to bus line (see picture above).
E46, E39, E38 - all of them have I-Bus.

So when im using the USB Ibus Interface from Rolf Resler and connect it to the radio it should be able to decode the canbus signal?

Yes ibus, there is topic where user creating app for integration with ibus in e46:
http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=1004766

That guy is also using Rolf Reslers IBUS adapter! Nice
maybe im trying to get one, since its not too expensive at all, but im worried about the cables:
White: IBUS
Red: +12V
Brown: GND
Green: NTSC
Okay, red and brown to the cigar jack. what i have to do with green and white? since i dont have the original monitor, i think that dont need green at all, but where to connect the white? i cant see any infos where its been located i was told to look for the cable on the cd changer, but i dont have one at all.

Hard to say. Between IBus and your head unit (actually MCU) you have CanBus Decoder. I do not know what functionality it has. Maybe simply forwards all of the IBus messages to head unit, maybe it filters it somehow and convert to "understandable" format for head unit. If I were you, then I would start from investigation of canbus decoder first .

Thanks for the research

any news on this mather?
I have a BMW E46 and a RK-A701 unit with android.
I have 4 wires in the unit (CAN TXD, CAN RXD, WC+ and WC2+). How do i have to connect this to the i-bus line from my bmw?
Thanks!

Once again: the BMW IBus has NOTHING in common with the CAN bus (Bosch). You can not connect any CAN interface (neither built-in in your android device nor external device) to your old BMWs IBus.
The only (reasonalble) way of interfaceing imho is to decode the IBus messages using rolfs device and to output voltage levels (DAC) which you feed into the steering wheel control lines of the android device. These input lines take a voltage signal usually generated by a resistor network in the steering wheel button control unit. You would "simulate" the different resistor values by outputting different voltages at the reception of certain IBus messages.
A tinker project as you can see. Not complicated but some work / programming of the IBus device involved.

So, is there any way to remap the SWC keys using the so-called "canbus" decoder on our vehicles? I don't know why the headunit couldn't just remap the keys to a different input. Tried using the IBUS dongle but the response is just wayyy to slow compared to the "canbus" encoder

MTCD KGL PX5 - CanBus problem with VW Golf 6

Hi i've two problem with CanBus on Vw Golf 6.
1. If i open APP for steering weel config i can't see any button and i can't configure anything
2. Doors open/close don't work. I can see Temperature, Oil, RPM but doors doesn't work at all

1) car specific headunits which Steering wheel buttons control are based on Canbus Box CAN NOT BE MAPPED by the Steering Wheel APP. They are hardcoded to specific Headunit functions. There is a tool MTCDTools from @f1x that could help you to assign new functionalities to your SWC buttons.
2) I don't know why do you report it as a problem. It was promised to you that Doors Opening/Closing shall be working with the canbus box supplied? Each Can-Bus Box is capable to decode specific features of the car. If that functionality was not present on PX3 or PX5 is due to your can-bus CAN'T DECODE (or has not been programmed to decode) the open/close door system.
The CarSettings app just receive which functions are being decoded by your can-bus and show the decoded information received.

Can you point me to the location of the CarSettings app? I can't find it in my newly installed headunit. I couldn't find any in the Google play store.

I found a fix for you problem, capu81, you need to go to factory settings, Canbus and try to change the can bus setting with some other value. The can bus box has the ability to decode some dozen car types, and it's probably not set for your car properly. When this setting is done right the apps that everyone is looking for, the Car info and Car settings are going to be available and should contain all the old settings that were available on your factory head unit. The default password for accessing factory settings is usually 126.

And if the canbus decoder is not supporting your vw golf 6, then go to roadnavi and buy their CAN-bus Decoder and select the right model. Eg: RN Model: C257 Golf 7

Thank you to all for the answer.
The doors signal is not a big problem, l leave it in this way.
Steering Well remapping: with MTCD Tools i can create custom action. For example: i've button for MUTE. If i remap button with MTCD Tools and assign Vocal Google Search to it the action is fine but MTCD became MUTE. There is a way to disable factory action and use only MTCD Action?

I have this problem too (no mapping option) but my steering wheel works on my Ford Focus. Check your CAN Bus box and make sure the model of it matches what's selected in Factory Settings. My CAN Bus box is a Raise 06, likewise it is selected in Factory Settings to match it.

@capu81 I am having this same issue with my doors on my Erisin ES6405V. Currently emailing with Erisin back and forth trying to get this fixed. If there is ever an outcome, I will let you know.

I have same exact issue. Did you find a solution to it?

Hello, I have the exact same problem only the other way around, my steering wheel buttons are mapped and working, car is showing open/closed doors but for oil, rpm, speed battery nothing. I tryed messing with the canbus setup and change to other setting from VWto maybe get it to work but no luck. Any ideas on how I can solve this? I have a MTCD unit px3 2GB 7.1.2

I have also problem with CANBus decoder. The only problem is that when i drive and change shift activate rearview camera, all the other stuff (swc, door signals and also reverse enable the rear view camera) works fine. There is something like update or a settings that works fine. I have a FIAT Bravo model >2007 and in factory settings seems to be all ok

These are not "problems" - CAN Bus support depends on your car model, the manufacturer of the CAN Bus box and whether MTC/HCT have written the software for these things. If youve played araound with all the CAN Bus settings and not every function works then there is nothing you can do . . . apart from get hold of the CAN Bus protocol for your vehicle,, the MTCD MCU protocl and then write and app for it. There are 1000s and 1000s of cars on the market (and 1000s no longer made) it would be far too costly to make full CAN Bus support for EVERY car on sale, so only the most popular cars are supported and even then not all models and/or all functionality.
@j0nnymoe - dont waste your time contacting Erisin, they are a seller not a manufacturer and theres nothing they will be able to do.

@typos1 do you think maybe it can be fixed if I update the MCU to the latest version? It just seam strage for it to work in open/closed doors but not for the rest, I'm thinking maybe a mismatch of canbus and software and maybe that is why it dose not work. (Just a wild guess)

Updating the MCU may certainly help.

@typos1 that is good to know, I can keep my hopes high for a bit longer but I am sceptic about the MCU update [email protected] gave me.. He did not test it and there is nobody else I could find that updated to the latest version of XRC to confirm it is the right one.

Yea I gave up on that a while ago. I've had a couple of these units before from other sellers (xtrons/eonon) and the canbus on those units worked fine. I suspect the KGL unit's doesn't like my car for some reason. I toyed with the idea of getting another canbus decoder..maybe if I can get one cheap enough I might try it.

I've got an a3 and I'm using a kgl unit and nothing shows on my dis screen on the dash but when I've had a unit from xtrons before that did work.. I'm guessing kgl must use cheaper canbus decoders and I've been thinking like you and we're thinking of buying another decoder from xtrons to try

No WiFi nor BT after upgrading from PX3 to PX5

Everything works fine but WiFi and BT after changing the board. So far I tried upgrading MCU, selecting all options available for BT type on BT settings on factory settings but none works.
When I go back to PX3 board, WiFi and BT work again with the same BT setting on factory settings.
Any suggestions?

I had HXD, unknown to many, I have now HA 2.59 wich works all right with the px3 board, but wifi and BT won't work when I install the px5

Afaik...bt & wifi are out of px5 board....are you sure you have connected well your px5 board?
And did you try before upgrading to HA if with HXD worked?
I suggest you to ask these questions on the specific thread used to buy the px5 board

To me, no autosleep after upgrade PX3 to PX5. No chance.
So the upgrade isn´t fully compatible to the units compare with the car.

Had the same problems as well. No BT no wifi- px5 board was mounted well (thought so). After remounting it again both worked. Set up my account and after using it for 3 hrs the connection failed again... Then I found out that I had to press it better on the board again and had to tighten up the screws again. Right now- it works since one week.

Dont you have a unique/vehicle specific issue with canbus. My understanding is that you were able to enable autosleep by disabling canbus.
That's quite different to 'isnt fully compat.'
Suggest providing context when making statements that might imply to others that there is a significant compatibility issue.

No thats not correct. Disabling canbus = no ignition starting anymore. Only manual power on and off.
So to me, it isn´t fully compatible. That´s an important information to others to beware them of possible problems.

Again, vehicle specific issues potentially related to wiring issue and the factory settings for power on not set correctly. This is nothing to do with the MCU revision. My understanding is that you experienece sleep issues and then blamed cross mcu update because of this new issue.
The very issue of you machine not sleeping is a great enough indication that other issues are at play.

Wiring issues not possible cause there is only one wire (battery+) connected. Ignition power is set by canbus.
So, what should be wrong?
Power settings in factory settings are not possible. Tell me where they are!
There is only one setting called Power status (on, off, remind latest)

can you do me a favor,
can you cut the ignition power and connect it to a 12 volt live and when the units boots up, remove the cable and see what it does..
just try to take control of that as a test.
in my case i have cut the wire and connected to another 12 volt source that gives power for 3-4 minutes after car has been locked.. if i let it as it was, as soon as i would remove the key the unit would initiate a shut down..

???
Got no ignition power wire connected! So i can´ t cut it!
Quadlock from VW hasn´t got such a wire. Only battery+

That can not be.. can you post photos of the back of your unit and cables

Volvo S60 CanBus Not Working

Hello,
I bought a head unit for a Volvo S60 2005, but the Steering Wheel Controls doesn't work.
And in the factory menu, in the CANBUS section, there is a lot of car manufacturers (Peugeot, GMC...) but not Volvo.
The detail of the head unit:
MTCE_KSP_V2.77_1
PX3
Android 7.1.2
Do you know a solution for this problem ?
Thank you

I hope you have been able to find a solution meanwhile since i dont know much about canbus in general.
Tho i have a question: what is the passcode for the factory settings of your KSP head unit? Searching the web up and down i haven't found a working code for my KSP.
Thanks in advance

Have you solved this Issue yet? My HU hast some Volvo settings for XC60 and S60. But none of them fully work.

While mines in a BMW, I couldn't get my steering wheel controls to work either until just this evening. Do you have a specific app that controls your CANBUS stuff? For example mines called iBUS, it was an app I had to download the Google since it wasn't on the PlayStore. I just happened to be playing in the app, saw a box was unchecked for CANBUS volume control...boom, controls work now. Maybe try downloading the iBus app anyways and see if checking the box works for ya.

iBus only works for BMW. I don't have a specific app for controlling canbus settings. Only the factory settings of the HeadUnit itself.

Just wondering: Don't these head units use a config file for each car model?
Are they in a directory and you can just add another?
Has anybody generated a custom one when the stock ones didn't work?
I would presume that they would look something like a keylayout?
Code:
# Config file for Studebaker
can 1234 VOLUME_UP
can 1235 VOLUME_DOWN
Does anyone have an example? Are they semi-standardized?
Does the CAN bus appear as a Linux device in /dev ?
Are there apps to just dump everything so that you can identify things?
Obviously, I'm speaking only of when the head unit takes the CAN bus directly in itself without an external box.

Question Ekiy T900 (android 10, FYT, UIS7862) questions

Good morning! Newbie here with a new android head unit with some frustrating problems! I have a 2009 Lexus GX470 and I picked up an Ekiy T900 with climate controls from Aliexpress. GX470s with navigation have limited radio options unless you do a non navigation climate control swap because the nav models have climate controls partially integrated into the factory head unit. The radio has been pretty good and is definitely a nice upgrade from the factory head unit since it has carplay and bluetooth but it still has a few issues that I'm hoping someone here can help me solve.

First:
When first turned on, I had no audio. This seems to only be related to turning the car off and on as when the car stays on and I just reboot the unit, the audio functions properly. I can’t really remember how I figured this out but there was an app labeled “Car UI.” I clicked on it first and within the app is a radio, CD player, and something else, I forget. I clicked on the CD player and hit shuffle and then I all of a sudden started getting sound. It is not specifically the "shuffle" button, just hitting random buttons in "Car UI" gives you audio. I have no idea why this occurs but I have to do it every time I turn the car on. I can only assume that somehow this triggers the car amp? I have waited several minutes without pressing anything to see if it was just a time thing…but it wasn’t. I have also pressed lots of other buttons to see if that got me audio…but it didn’t. So for some reason you have to hit the Car UI button and go from there. This has been confirmed with another Reddit user who bought one at the same time I did. There is a factory setting for the amp which I turned on but it appears to have no play in this situation.
Video attached for reference:
Car UI/Audio
Second:
So I feel like this is pretty major considering this is an Android. I cant access anything Google related. Crazy right? I cannot log into ANYTHING google. Everything crashes at "checking info." Not just dedicated apps like Youtube, Play Store, etc but also if I try to log into Gmail when accessed through the browser. I also cant log in through the head unit settings. I have tried numerous fixes online such as deleting Chrome updates and updating Webview. I have also updated the head unit.
Video for reference:

Apparently this is a super common issue with newer FYT units? I found some update files from other manufacturers that seem to be universal. I'll give that a whirl and report back.
Third/Final:
This is more of an annoyance rather than issue. the climate controls work great and have a clean UI. That being said, there is an issue with temperature adjustment. You have a full range of temperature selection but unfortunately it will only ever read “low” or “high.” Every time you press the button it most definitely changes the temperature a degree like it should, you just don’t get a specific degree reading. I don’t know why it does this or if it is 470/prado specific as I have seen similar radios with the same UI display degree changes (at least in Celsius).

And just in case this pops up when someone searches for GX470 radios, here is my review from ih8mud.
Review: Android H/U with Climate Control
Good morning everyone! Longtime reader, first time poster. I recently acquired a 2009 gx470 with navigation. I was super excited to get one of the “Tesla” screens…until I got one and realized how horrible they were. More on that later. Bear with me as I’m writing this on my phone while I have...

Head unit information:

Also, can I update the mcu or change the firmware/UI/ROM? I’m using Agama which is fantastic but I’d like to change the factory UI to something better.

Has anyone else experienced this audio issue? I’m open to trying anything. This is really the only thing keeping this from being a fantastic unit.

Sorry to hear the unit has a number of bugs.
Curious, what did the reseller suggest, who is the reseller and what has your experience been with them from a support/afterwards perspective?
You might also find additional information in the other FYT threads, such as joyin FYT and that other oddball teyes badged units.

They sent an update that didn't work. So i tried the update posted in another thread, possibly in the Joying fYT thread. it worked to fix the google issue at least. There is still no update on sound but I now believe it to be a canbus issue. and theres no news on the climate control. I'd love to figure out the sound issue!
It is from Ekiy Autoradio Store. It is marketed as an Ekiy brand, not just the store. They are definitely trying to help but there is a language barrier that makes everything more difficult. But I'll give them credit for trying!
Does anyone know if I can use the canbus adapter box from a different radio or is that proprietary?

Hi,
this is link they sent me. From the contents of the file, I assume it's a patch that only affects the google account.
Make sure it is compatible with your car stereo.
My car stereo is the JY-UQB09N4G-H.

This update fixed my google issue. I went ahead and "rolled the dice" since it was for a different brand but it worked just fine. Unzip the downloaded folder to a flash drive and plug into you head unit. It will auto install. You do not have to unzip the file within.

Have you got ekiy to work? I am interested in a similar device.

Hello friends, I got my EKIY T900 and i think that is fantastic, I take the voice and 360 panorama options
I have a question, maybe you can help me whi this
I haven't installed the 360 cameras yet, but I have one of these chinese caeras as backup cam for reverse
When i put my car in reverse, the T900 triggers the 360 panorama in reverse mode but as I didn't installed that cams yet, I don't see anything
The backup camera is connected to the yellow RCA behind the unit for this purpose.
I'd like to know "how to" deactivate the 360 view system to let the unit start the standard aux video application when in reverse
Can you help me with this ?, I mean deactivate the 360panorama software ?
Thanks in advance !

Oh, didn't ask to reseller, prefer XDA members, but I can try with the reseller indeed

I have bought the same UIS786 unit for my Chevrolet Spark
Octa Core 1.8 Ghz
Dual Cortex A75
Six Cortex A55
REAR CAMERA: BROWN wire called "Back" should be connected to PIN 6
STEERING WHEEL: PINK wire called KEY1 should be connected to PIN 16
STEERING WHEEL GND: Should be connected together with BLACK wire from PIN 14 to PIN 13
For the rear camera you have to take the +12v power directly from the rear light bulb.
Question:
Does someone already have root working on this unit or is there a Mod version available?
Regards,
B.W.

Yes, rooted with Magisk v23.0

I have a problem with my Ekiy T900 at standby: when ignited and engine off, the device switches off after approx. 30 sec. Is there a setting?

And another problem: The USB device will be scheduled sporadically on / off, so that playing music or movies finds a ugly end. The USB device setting is 2.0 (there are only 1.0 and 2.0).
