PX5 Peugeot 508 With JBL Amp, no sound on some Apps (CD/DVD player, MyTunerRadio) - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Hi,
I just installed few days ago a PX5 MTCE_MX_V2.92_1 in my Peugeot 508 with JBL Sound system.
It went all almost ok (except the seller didn't understand I had to activate "With Amplifier" in the Factory settings, or I had absolutely no sound).
I have one problem : There is sound when I put radio, Ad2p music, usb stick music, phone call... but absolutely no sound when I try to read a CD or a DVD with the DVD app that came installed on the system.
I tried the MyTunerRadio app, and also no sound.
Do the stock apps (radio, bluetooth, usb stick) have something special to output audio differently, or am I missing something?
Does anyone also know any other app on the play store that can read the CD/DVD from inside the Unit?
Thanks

Hi again,
I received a new Canbus today from the seller, I don't understand why... and since we have trouble communicating, I'm asking you guys.
The one I got with the head unit, with for Peugeot 407 (I have a 508), the Android is starting, and all is working "more or less" ok.
The one I received today has two plugs, on each side of the decoder. And when I plug one side, well, Android is not turning on... which seems logical to me.
Any idea? do I need a new cable to connect the new decoder?
Thanks

Any Idea on this? I got a carplay dongle but also no sound...

do u solve it? i have 508 with JBL also..installed android device..no sound at all

Same here
Hi, same for me on my 508 with JBL amplifier.
Bluetooth Ad2p audio, radio and USB music works nice.
But no audio from CD, DVD, and the worse: from Bluetooth calls.
I am checking with the reseller and if can't help I'll ask for a refund. Or I hope you guys will get luckier and get an answer
Edit: I am under MTCE_MX_V2.91.
A weird thing is that if i want sound from basic apps, I first need to play music from USB, pause it, then I can hear the sound from the other app suddenly (but still not from CD, DVD, YouTube app). As the original poster wrote, there must be something with the way some apps output sound. I really hope it's easy to fix.

Solution
Guys, I have the solution!
Hopefully, this works for you too.
After a week of fighting about that with my seller (Autostereo), he finally provided me with a solution (I had opened dispute with agreed half refund so it motivated him I believe, to help me more...).
So, I updated my PX5 (manufacturer: MX / Witson - octacore, 4gb RAM) to a very last version "mx4_PX5_8.0(20181122)". The seller also sent me an update for the MCU but I didn't deploy it because it was working already with the PX5 upgrade. I give you here both files. Again, it was enough for me to just do the PX5 update; it all started to work suddenly (among other improvements), so I am more than satisfied.
At the time I am writing this post, there are 6 days left for the files: we.tl/t-A8ysf9ggAp EDIT: changed the link on Dec. 27, 2018
If needed, I can later upload them somewhere else (GDrive or something).

Can you send to me. I have the same problem. I would be very gratefull for your help.

@Perle123 check on the link I provided

?.Did you unzip them after download, or put them straight on to usb. How did you install.

I could answer you "search on the forum" because that's what I had to do the first time, I had no clue how to update But it's easy:
1. Format a USB key to FAT32 file system (quick format is enough).
2. Unpack the mx4_PX5_8.0(20181122).zip
3. From the mx4_PX5_8.0(20181122).zip, copy the file update.zip (do not unpack it!) to the USB key.
4. Plug the USB key into your car unit, Android should recognize it straight and allow you to upgrade.
5. Click OK to upgrade, it will do the job (5 minutes for me), restart with updated PX5 (and sound working in all applications, DVD, CD, YouTube, DI.FM, etc.).
Note 1 : it asked me if I wanted to wipe data or not; I chose no.
Note 2: I recommend you do it with engine running in case the upgrade takes longer, to avoid safe consumption energy cut during the upgrade.
Note 3: I didn't have to reconfigure anything, not even CANBUS. I let it to amplifier mode "with amplifier".
Additional note for @ifoul: I have the same CANBUS as you exactly. I mean the original one, not the one the seller sent you again. And I think you should remain with the original one, it is configured for JBL. It is originally for Peugeot 408 (not 407 as you wrote), a model mostly sold only in China and that has similar commands as the 508; that's why it works with the 508.
Hope this helps!

Hi All,
Sorry for the long delay, turns out I didn't get thread notifications on my email.. so I forgot a bit about this thread.
It's funny because I also received two days ago (after long battling with seller DADAgps ? ) a new DMCU 3.00 MX and firmware from 20181122, and It's working correctly since two days.
I first did the DMCU upgrade, was not working, and then firmware upgrade ,and working.
So I can confirm it's definitely the Firmware.
the CarPlay dongle is finally useful (main reason why I bought the Android Head Unit).
If needed I can host the files online, just ask.
@slovinco, Yes, I stayed with the original Canbus, the other doesn't even start the android.
Also I have another Canbus on the way, they were sending it last week, before knowing about the new firmware.

Perfect then Probably the manufacturer sent a FW upgrade to all sellers, seeing that a few os us have problems. Still, we must not be a lot with JBL and Android unit
Now finally we can fully enjoy this delicious unit.

Yes, not that many, for sure ?
From which country are you?
Now I need to install the camera that I received... that will be fun to put all the cables from the trunk to the Android!

According to the photo of your radio app and the radio station names, maybe from the same country as you
I also installed rear camera for backup. It was not funny at all, especially taking down the plastic parts and putting them back. My hands still hurt. And also the wireless version is not very stable so I ordered cables to make it better. That means I'll have again to take down the plastic parts.
FYI, I bought this: aliexpress.com/item/For-Peugeot-301-308-408-508-2013-2014-Citroen-C5-C4-Car-CCD-Night-Vision-4LED/32598855986.html
But that's also another topic When I finish all this (I will also install headrest monitors), I will publish some articles on some Peugeot blog, because I quite enjoy doing this all!

Well, let's keep in English, in case it's useful for other people.
I ordered a similar one from amazon : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B079NX178V/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
because I found that the one I got for free from the aliexpress seller was hanging a bit too low. ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wat...ml?spm=2114.10010108.1000023.9.6681277dXMa7AN )
Before you make your blog posts, do you maybe have some photos you took during install, to see how to remove the parts?

Small question regarding the camera.
Which cables did you take for the alimentation?
That was hard unboxing the trunk, but good thing I found all those PDFs from Peugeot https://www.forum-peugeot.com/Forum/threads/schema-pour-démontage-garniture-hayon-sw.34967/

Will answer you in private message as this is off topic

I don't have those issues, sorry for you. Make sure you have at least the proper canbus set up.
One thing though, the Wheel key study application does not work for me either. So even if all buttons work ok for me, I am not able to change their settings.

(resolved) Seicane unit keeps rebooting/powering off

*******Edit: I was able to resolve most of the issues I've been experiencing with my Android Unit. *******
Incorrect Time- I needed to update my firmware, as suggested by users in the forum. The seller was able to send me an updated version at the time.
SWC- My resolution mentioned down below. I may change it back to CAN key and see if the CANBUS connection issue I had was the real culprit.
Random Power cycling- User error. I didn't realize I didn't plug the power cable completely into the unit.
A/C Display- I have @brettf to thank for this. I initially switched cables like he mentioned below, but found they didn't work THE FIRST TIME I did this, so I switched the cables back to their original [incorrect] positions. The second time around, ie. yesterday, I decided to try it again, but this time, I took into account my CANBUS settings. I changed the CANBUS controls to the last ACCORD_7(Chan........) setting and it finally worked for my system. So, now I understand what most users have been talking about in regards to the temperature only being in Celsius. If there's a fix for this that I may have missed, I'd highly appreciate it.
GPS signal- Lol unintentional user error this time, without realizing I even made a mistake. My unit wasn't labeled with which SMA connector was which for the GPS antenna or Bluetooth antenna, so I had accidentally switched them around during my initial installation. I decided to actually take a look at the diagram on AliBaba's seller page and lo and behold, they were indeed switched around. Previously, it would take over 5 minutes for a signal to be fixed and there was no guarantee it would be stable even on a clear day, but after the switch, the GPS signal is strong and fixes immediately to a signal now.
Bluetooth - Even though I'm not an audiophile, the music played from A2DP sounds even better following the aforementioned sma switch around. Tbh, I'm not tech savvy enough to understand how either the GPS or bluetooth have been working at all after all this time since my initial installation, but it works like it's supposed to now.
Mic- I ordered another external mic, so whenever it comes in, I'll try to update and see if there are any improvements with the quality, as I've realized my old mic sounded "distant" before when it was connected to my iSimple device.
Initial issue mentioned below:
Hello. I recently purchased this Seicane unit:
[Alibaba (**dot**) com/product/62132856562/10-1-Inch-Android-9-0.html?tracelog=null
I've been having the usual issues that I kind of anticipated with these Chinese head units *(ie. time was not set correctly when I initially installed it but I was able to fix it with an update, steering wheel controls no longer work(fixed), climate settings I press on the unit do not display on the screen but the A/C still works (fixed), just to name a few examples). But one problem I didn't anticipate was, my unit continuously reboots/powers off after I turn on the car and/or the screen may not come on unless I turn the ignition on and off again (fixed). With that being said, the Bluetooth cuts in and out as well and microphone quality is subpar at best, even after using an external mic from a previous isimple unit used with my original navigation unit.
So far, I honestly like this Seicane unit and I don't have buyer's remorse, but these little annoyances are starting to add up. Is there anyway I can fix these issues, especially the annoying rebooting? Thank you.
I recorded what I'm talking about earlier after work today:

I didn't want to go that route yet until I troubleshoot it myself. Plus, shipping to China is expensive, so that'll be my last ditch solution if I'm not able to figure out these menial issues.
Others here have experienced these problems you should be able to find their threads. From what I've read before the rebooting was linked to the HU losing internet access but those were units with a SIM card port. Setting airplane mode helped when they had no SIM and/or were connected to the phone hotspot. But if there's a problem with a SIM in relocating the antennas was needed otherwise the unit needs repair.
For the HVAC display you need a CANbus decoder specific to your car. It's not unusual for a seller to not include it unless you told them you need it. You have to be very literal and specific with them. One guy received the wrong one and only fixed it by convincing another seller (Dasaita) to sell him one. In your case it worked before and no more after the update then you may need to try different settings in the CANbus menu. Did you get your update from Seicane? If not you should ask them for one.

How would I go about actually changing the wires around though? Do I just pull them out of the harness? Lol, I'm not an electrician, so I would prefer not to break the unit.
I may have figured out the rebooting issue: when I went back to finally check the back of the unit, I found the power cable with the blue harness wasn't completely connected to the unit. Whoops, lol!
I'll test it out whenever I drive my accord again and see if this definitely fixed the rebooting issue.

Just pop them out of the connector. There's a little tab on the metal bit inside the connector. If you press it and pull the wire softly, it will pop out.

I was able to pop them out like you mentioned, but no changes. Luckily the a/c still works, so I guess I'll just leave it as is for now... Thank you for the guidance.
Follow up- so I was able to diagnose and fix the majority of the issues I listed thanks to you guys.
In terms of the steering wheel controls, Seicane's engineers failed to switch the steering wheel control settings in the factory settings to "SWC keys" before shipping it out. I found this setting only after attempting to install a universal SWC remote myself, so now I was able to retain both my original controls and the newly installed remote, which is a nice addition now. If you guys ever have issues with the car's original SWC settings when installing your unit, check your settings by going to:
CAR (Driving, navigation some settings) -> Factory Settings (passcode 126) -> Other -> Steering wheel keys assign -> ***Switch to SWC Keys if it's set to Can key***
Note- I'm not sure if the settings will differ per android software, but my unit is Android 9.0

Switch it back to Can Key and see if it you assign the key configurations.
SWC worked before I figured out the two CANBUS wires needed to be switched around but I don't feel the need to test if this will work in my car, so see if that may help.

CanBus works fine. Every Function works on the 78 Protokoll. Only the Steering Wheel buttons get a "double Input" but i only press once.
And if i switch to protokoll 46 the Steering Wheel Button works perfect but everything else from canbus does not work (Settings for the car)

The chassis was touching bare wires for random **** I didn't have so it kept resetting. Took me an hour to figure it out. You don't need to spend money just get some tape and make sure all the wires are connected or covered

Lol 420 tho I was smoking too
hello friends, I was wondering if you can help me, my CANbus looks like its working and the steering wheel works too, however, the stereo reboots every 3-4 minutes... the thing is that if I connect something it gets frozen, and a couple of seconds it reboots, if I open an app it gets frozen, if I click on any button of the stereo it will work one or three times but then it gets frozen and reboots it again, I'm not able to listen to anything because the stereo reboots all the time many times... I tried with android 9 same error I updated to android 10 still the error, please can you help me with some ideas, I really believe it is a hardware issue and not software. regards

Is it possible to use the built in TPMS apps for USB-receiver?

Head unit: PX6 4/64 GB with Hal9k Android 9.
I have no separate connection for TPMS on the back of my unit, so I ordered a USB TPMS-receiver. The included app on a USB-stick is quite new (202002) but I have only problems with it. So I tried StoreBao from Play Store, the connection works better but I can't stop it from autostarting every time the unit wakes from sleep, tried the USB-settings in the Hal9k mod settings, but no difference.
In the factory settings I have six different choices for TPMS, which enables built in TPMS-apps, and they have nice design and are also translated to the language of the head unit. I have tried all six, restarted in between, and while I do not get any error messages, they just don't seem to recognize the USB-receiver. Maybe there is a "fix" for this?
I am very thankful for any help to get it working, or maybe if someone has another solution for his?
Dasaita makes one for their units and it plugs in directly to the back using a special connector and with use the installed TPMS App. So you can't use this, see Pic.
I have a USB app you could try. I got it when I got my first unit and works fine. I have had it on different units as well and no issues. If you still need it send me a PM.

PX6 MX MCU update failed

Hi there
So i downloaded from here MCU MX v3.71 as i have v3.60_1 at the moment.
Formatted a 4GB USB stick as FAT32, default allocation list and copied dmcu.img on the root of the USB
Then, inserted the stick into HU USB port, clicked on MCU update, it was found, system restarted.
next ? surprise: Android green guy dead, and "no command" on the screen.
I shut down the car for 5 mins to let the unit go to sleep and when i put the ignition on, the unit started fine, but still having old MCU
next, i plugged the USB stick into my computer and surprise: "this disc needs to be formatted".
Somehow, android unit didn't update the MCU but damaged the USB stick filesystem.
Did anyone have the same issue ? I am afraid now to use a different USB and repeat the process because my reset button is inside the screen and i need to dismantle half the dashboard to reach that button.
I have an AOTSR PX6 RK3399 unit with Android 10 and HCT2 kernel (firmware), MCU is MX v3.60
Thanks

So i downloaded from here MCU MX v3.71 as i have v3.60_1 at the moment.
Formatted a 4GB USB stick as FAT32, default allocation list and copied dmcu.img on the root of the USB
Then, inserted the stick into HU USB port, clicked on MCU update, it was found, system restarted.
next ? surprise: Android green guy dead, and "no command" on the screen.
I shut down the car for 5 mins to let the unit go to sleep and when i put the ignition on, the unit started fine, but still having old MCU
next, i plugged the USB stick into my computer and surprise: "this disc needs to be formatted".
Somehow, android unit didn't update the MCU but damaged the USB stick filesystem.
Did anyone have the same issue ? I am afraid now to use a different USB and repeat the process because my reset button is inside the screen and i need to dismantle half the dashboard to reach that button.
I have an AOTSR PX6 RK3399 unit with Android 10 and HCT2 kernel (firmware), MCU is MX v3.60
Thanks

What issue do you think will be resolved by updating the MCU? The MCU isn't Android.
my Waze app keeps crashing... i know that this issue might be from the firmware but i have a 2 unit pieces for Opel Astra J, it has a original fitting HU with DVD player which connects with 2 lots of pin cables to the display, and no reset button or hole. So is not a 1 unit Android, is 2 pieces. All main cables come from the big HU which sits instead of the original HU
I am really afraid to put another Android 10 firmware as i don't know how to enter recovery if something goes wrong

You've confused MCU with Android. At that point, I agree, leave it as is.

here is thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ith-mx-or-mx2-to-use-it.3913654/post-84413769
I only wanted to update the MCU because it is the last version, but this does not manage applications, it's the ROM that does that, as marchnz said.
You may need to ask from your seller support a newer version of the ROM you are running. I did the same but the language barrier is huge, i did not solve anything OR install a custom rom such as Malaysk ROM. I read somewhere here that Waze app needs to be downloaded from Aptoide and has to be a specific version for it to work but i cannot recall which thread was it.

Question CC3 Skoda Superb 3 Model 2016

Hi at all.
I have recently built in a CC3 device.
And I have some questions about hardware and software. Maybe someone can help.
1: why is it, that the screen for air-conditioning, temperature etc. spontaneously pops up and don't dissappear by itself?
2: why is there only beep sounds from the parking distance control and no car symbol with colored waves (green to red)
3: why can't I choose YouTube as music widget, as described in teyes installation videos
4: can I change the widgets at all? New functions like whether forecast or GPS status instead of radio stations
Thanks in advance.
Greets, Sebastian
Hi i have similar problems with a skoda superb 3 2017, i am trying to find a good canbus configuration. Now i can see all car settings, cannot see call log, microphone is low, no graphics and beeps from rear sensors, volum from drive wheel is reversed.
I have tried both with rzc canbus and hi world canbus.
I have installed the aditional mic still same,
If i install the sim i can used only for data,
Please advise if i have to update it or anything to make it better, so far i want to uninstall it and use oem.
Hi Sebytech, I didn't found any solution so far. I am in contact with the support from AU and waiting for an answer. And still waiting for my MOST adapter. Have no sound at all.
But my vol. button is working.
No sound? Can you show me a few pics with what you have? And the settings of the canbus? I personally purchased another adapter and stereo sound inhave fromthe one purchased from au. My volume works from steering wheel is just upside down. Not sure if i need to do mcu update

Volume reverse is a setting: Factory -> Reversal Volume.
Same for reversal previous-next. Factory -> Reversal previous next
And if you have a CC3, why don't you read and watch the instructions and instruction videos: https://cc3.teyes.ru/en/index.html

I have no sound, because I have a built in canton sound system and digital amplifier. My quadlock connector has therefore no cables to each respective speaker. The sound is transfered to the amplifier by lightwire. When I ordered the CC3 I didn't know much about this and there was no hint on the order page. Due to a German skoda superb forum, someone told me about the need of an MOST adapter. Teyes has such an adapter in their store. I still waiting for it.
What else I am wondering about, is that the pins in my quadlock adapter is no respectively not the same as in the adapter from Teyes and some pins go nowhere. So I think, some functions are missing from the beginning.
I had a little research but, this last pic looks like a power right ? the harness, everything is the same as i have except that plug, anything else related to the amp ?

No, this plug is the optical fiber plug. For this I purchased the Teyes Most 25 adapter. Hope, it will soon arrive.

Yes i had a look on the web for some adapters..not really much about them.
Any idea about how to download latest software ?
Have you tested yours with phone calls ?

My sim card and wlan are working fine. So I opened the app Futo and checked for new versions (automatic updater) . After download and installation I opened teyes and downloaded the latest versions of all other apps.
Because I have no sound so far, I could no test it with sound. But as I received a phone call (phone was connected via BT) the CC3 showed me all needed buttons know for accepting/cancelling and ending a call.
I think i have a old version on mine, cannot find FOTA.
Can't you download it from their website?

I am not sure, i do not know him and takes days for support to answer, i am not sure about this forum if anybody will help, but be aware about the following issue you might have with yours. Bluetooth connection will show phone but no dial list on dash, on the cc3 while on call the dial conversation stays on top..you need external mic, apparently will not use the oem one ..hopefully you will have better luck than me, i am almost there to go back to oem and just leave it...sim with lte its only for data only no phone calls. what is the point to have just data ? would have been nice to connect with the canbus and show on dash as cc3 and be able to make phone calls. Also why have a mic on the unit ? mic has to be close to u and well protected..
update me when you have setup.
Ok. I will. Have a nice day anyway.

Email Teyes directly and ask them for support. They have your data.
Only try via Dan if you purchased via Dan.

General AA on Chinese head unit

Hi, I have a Chinese android head unit, I've fitted it in my van, all good apart from the one thing I wanted...Android Auto. Allegedly it's come with Android Auto installed. My phone and cable work fine in my car, and Auto connect to Android Auto, but not on this Android head unit I've fitted. I naively thought I could plug my phone in and it automatically start up but nothing happens, everything else on the head unit, I've worked out, and is fine. It's probably a set up problem, I'm wondering about an APL file, but I just don't know what to do and the instructions that came with it are not much help, I would appreciate a point in the right direction pls

I meant APK file, I've seen them but don't know what to do (if that is the issue)
Is it an FYT unit. Post Android system information including MCU version
@marchnz is right. Tell us what you have. There are a lot of different units.

It does not work automatically on these Chinese head utnits.
You first have to pair it to bluetooth.
Then you connect it via USB.
Then you start the z-link or carlink app, whatever it is called on your unit (and that is why we need to know what your unit is).
Then it should work.

Thanks, I’ll find the Android version and MCU (whatever that is), bare with me, thanks for the response, Bluetooth is paired, I can make calls via the head unit that way, and I connect via USB just as I do in my car, I haven’t seen a link for zlink or the android auto logo ?, all my phone does when I plug in is charge, there are two usb sockets on the back of the unit, 4 wire and five wire, my DAB aerial is plugged in the 4 wire and is working ok, my phone is in the five wire USB, I did swap them round , it made no difference, I’ll come back with MCU and Android version, thanks again, it’s a Brosmartek XRC-T3 06FuTe (that’s exactly what’s on the box) if that helps. I’ve found previously that purchases such as this come with very, very basic instructions, virtually zero.
If I search on your Brosmartek XRC-T3, the adds say you need to download the EasyConnect.apk. Did you do that?

Hi, I got it sorted, I hot spotted the unit off my phone and updated it, then I thought about z-link that you mentioned and recalled seeing Tlink5 ... I went into settings and changed from Google maps to the mysterious Tlink5 and hey presto...Tlink5 is required for Carplay and Android Auto. Everything is good now, such a shame that it's not in the instructions, then again what little instructions there was , was no help. Thanks for all your help, it was the Z-link mention that just got me wondering. "Tlink5"... who would have thought it.
