Hello XDA,
I tried many ways how run "true" car mode. I modified micro usb cable (619K ohm between 4 and 5 pin), I installed many ROMs (stock or custom), I flash many versions of google car home app. But only 619K ohm resistor able to activate "true" car mode. If I say true car mode then I think for example rotating Phone.apk (call screen in landscape) and auto loud call. Unfortunately, google car home activated car mode, I see on notify bar steering wheel, but without a resistor function as rotating phone.apk not work. I do not always use cable. For long travel no problem, but I ride short tracks then I must phone often insert and remove.
I tried google car home on girlfriend`s LG optimus black. If I run it, google car home activates true car mode, with rotating phone.apk and other.
My question is. Is any solution with google car home app for my samsung galaxy s2? I use android 4.0.3 (XXLPS), rooted.
Thanks for answer and sorry for my english.
Hello
I am trying to figure out how the 3 buttons earphones are wired.
I know there are several wirings. Apple's and Galaxy S1 had different wiring for instance.
Most android phones support only one button.
Apple holds a patent (US 7,912,501) but I could not find a wiring specific to the 3 buttons in it,just by browsing the pictures. As far as I can tell, there should be three switches, corresponding to the 3 buttons, and I can't find a corresponding figure.
I know there are apps that can emulate several buttons, by pressing a single button several times, or longer or whatever.
But what I'd like to understand for now are the simple existing wirings, hopefully simple enough to include mainly switches and resistors.
I am interested in all the available wirings and technologies in use for multi-buttons analogical earphones (No USB headsets).
Any link would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Nobody seems to know.
However, I found some interesting site that references wirings.
http://pinoutsguide.com
For instance:

http://pinoutsguide.com/HeadsetsHeadphones/samsung_i9100_headset_pinout.shtml
http://pinoutsguide.com/HeadsetsHeadphones/microusb_headset_pinout.shtml
Yet, I did not find any wiring for Android headsets/earbuds/earphones with volume control buttons.
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).

This post is not asking how to assign steering wheel keys, it is intended to be an instructional post to maybe help some of you who have found that you cannot change your steering wheel key assignments using the WheelKey Study app on your MTCD/E head unit.
These instructions will likely work for both PX5 and PX6 systems.
My system is a SYGAV/Dasaita PX6 4G RAM/64G ROM.
Here is the About Machine for my system:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Access factory settings:
Settings... Car.... Factory settings... Password 126 or appropriate for your system
Select the "other" category at the top
The setting you're looking for is "Steering wheel keys assign" If this is set to SWC Key marked above in RED you will NOT be able to change the steering wheel button assignments. with the WheelKey Study app.
Change this setting to - Can Key - as indicated below with GREEN rectangle
Touch Apply and then touch Exit.
The system will now reboot. Once it comes back up, go to WheelKey Study app and press one of your steering wheel keys. You will be able to assign the key you pressed to one of the available functions.
This shows my Wheelkey Study, notice I was able to set the keys and all work as I assigned them.
Note that you must assign ALL of the steering wheel keys when using Wheelkey Study. Otherwise you will be left with steering wheel buttons that don't work.
Optional step: After setting steering wheel keys change that factory setting back to "SWC key" and the assignments made in Wheelkey study still work as configured in WheelKey Study
Please post if you would like additional details about my system/vehicle/etc.

Thank you to @Moldeb for additional information.
Nice thread.
To turn CAN Bus off you set it to "CAN key", not exactly intuitive, lol, reminds me of when I spent ages trying to get my reverse cam to work and the only way it would was when rear cam was set it to "disable" in factory settings, of course this was the last thing I tried.
This will work for ALL MTCD/E units with any processor - RK3188/PX3, RK3368/PX5, RK3399/PX6 and Intel Sofia - as long as they have a later MCU that supports it - its all done by the MCU, not the SoM.
Thank you @typos1 Know what you mean with the reverse cam setting and how it would be the last thing you'd try. There are alot of counterintuitive settings on these units.
I think what happens is they just copy letters from Google translate or similar without really knowing what they mean or how confusing it CAN be (couldn't resist the opportunity there).
Excellent thread !
I have buy HU designed to work on Audi A6 C5 but swaped into Audi A4 B5 Avant (2000) that use CANBUS protocol.
Just needed to solder the 2 green cables out from the CANBUS box to PINS 5 (CAN H) & 6 (CAN L) on the gray connection plug back from instrument cluster (green -> pin 5 ; green/black -> pin 6)
This handling can start automaticly the HU if you switch on the vehicle's ignition and also allows you to react when you turn on or off the headlights.
Now i want to use my steering wheel control but nothing work when i push on one of the buttons in the study wheelkey app...
I will test your "how to" this afternoon and back to you to tell if it work or not
Thank you @gromsop. Please report back with your findings. I posted some additional thoughts over in the other thread. My plan is to update this thread and bring together the useful bits once we know what works and what doesn't. Perhaps this thread may prove useful for both those who have Canbus and those who are running a universal head unit with no Canbus adapter. Good luck to you.
As others here have said, nice thread @jlbooth. Good to see an informative post and not somebody posting same ole question that's been asked many times before without taking time to search.
Apologies in advance for cross post but this was a point that I wanted to move from the Canbus versions thread over to this thread.
I got to thinking about the SWC Key vs Can key options and maybe the presence/absence of the Canbus box might not really matter in this. What I'm saying is that the setting I have in my instructions purely enables or disables editing the SWC keys in the Wheelkey Study. Like a write enable/read only kind of thing.
In some applications it may be that the KEY1 and KEY2 wires must be connected and the factory setting just designates whether the Wheelkey Study app will allow edits or not. It could be there to prevent accidental changing the key assignments or simply to prevent changing the factory provided "default" SWC assignments.
So if my instructions don't work for you, you will need to verify the connections of the KEY1 and KEY2 wires. Those two wires may need to be connected for your vehicle to have any chance of working regardless of Canbus or not.
I share what worked for my car and as they say, your mileage may vary.
Small test feedback and as I suspected, it did not work.
Ie I don't have the key 1 and key 2 cables.
But since it should work for an Audi A6 and not for an Audi A4, I take it that the problem is there.
I'm not even sure I can use the steering wheel controls again.
I will still try to find the solution, I don't really like when something resists me!
Thank you @gromsop. Are you saying that you don't have key 1 and key 2 wires on the head unit or don't have wires to connect to in your car's factory harness?

Yes, that's right i don't have key 1 and key 2 wires on my HU and so i don't have wires to connect to my car.
So you have a vehicle specific unit and youre trying to re-assign SWC ?
Hi, i followed what this thread said to do on my 2013 Honda Accord but my call end call and voice button still don’t work, anything else i can do?
When you're assigning the steering wheel buttons, does the head unit respond and allow you to pick a key for the call button and/or the voice buttons?

No it doesn’t, it sits on a blank screen that shows reset and and save
Did you change the "Steering wheel keys assign" to "Can key" per the instructions?

Install @Hal9k_'s ROM - theres a feature that allows you to change the keycodes.
We don't even know if the steering wheel buttons are recognized by the head unit with the stock ROM. How is throwing a paid ROM on the unit going to help?
Plus I have a feeling that they skipped the Can Key setting. As described stock wouldn't let them set any of the steering wheel controls and the symptom suggests the "Steering wheel keys assign" setting was not changed to Can Key.
The ROM is free and it has a "show key codes" setting which will tell you if the HU is getting them by displaying them onscreen
.
Makes a ton of sense to throw a whole ROM on the system to get one feature. And has Hal started giving the ROM away for free again? The whole monetization thing was why I steered clear of the 2 non free ROMs.

I followed the guide exactly and the 3 buttons don’t allow me to do anything if i press them nothing happens
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.
