Bluetooth metadata (artist, trackname, etc for songs) hasn't worked since 4.4.4 w/ my HTC One M8 on my Kenwood KDC-X997. Lollipop and now Marshmallow will not display the artist name and track title. Kenwood is probably done issuing firmware updates for this headunit (the last one was Jan 2014). Does anyone know of a decent head unit that fully supports Bluetooth metadata from android phones running the latest version (Marshmallow). It's quite frustrating to know this feature works in older versions of android; it's kept me from updating to the latest version. And I don't wanna buy a new head unit unless I'm 100% certain that the artist name and track title will display when streaming music from my phone; I use Google Play Music.
anyone w/ some insight on this issue??

I need find the MCU for MTCD_GS_V.1.34_1
It's possible ? I'm just not able to ENCONTRA the by any websites
I got the archive of the MCU for MTCD_GS_V1.49_1, but I version instead of the V1.34_1
This can cause me a problem? Because the touch buttons light up but do not respond to touch.
It will not if the version of the MCU, or some configuration must be performed
Just FYI - I've tested 64GB SDXC card and it works fine. I have no possibility to test bigger one.

Custom ROM for GS unit
Hi together,
I'm considering of buying a GS MTCD unit. If Malaysk is so gentle and brings out a custom ROM will his version run on that one? I'm thinking about that one:

Thanks a lot!
The MCTD_LM unit is not in the list, it's the Erisin 3062 model.

Do these MTCD Units fix the wiring issue that causes unclear sound input through the external microphone during hands free calling?

I have the old mtcB in my car and dont have that issue with my external mic, none of my customers complained about that issue either...
perhaps there is an issue with your unit or your car wiring or your mic?

I am still looking to buy a unit and deciding between Joying MTCB and Joying MTCD. I honestly like Android 4.4.4 look and feel better, plus with Malaysk's Android 5.1.1 ROM for MTCB units I can experience both android versions if I buy an MTCB unit.
Because it is advertised that Mirrorlink will no longer work if factory reset is done, will I no longer be able to use mirrorlink if I install Malaysk Rom on an MTCB unit?
Also has the buzzing noise when using hands free mode been improved with the MTCD units? See post #7036 for an example of someone who had buzzing noise during hands free with Joying MTCB
Thanks

I do not use mirrorlink so I can not comment on that
and buzzing noise it is not a common and know issue with mtcB. at least the unit I have in my own car BT audio is clean.
still I am recommending mtcB till mtcD gets xposed module working

There is a 1.75_1 but Xtrons won't send it to me yet lol
I've never seen anyone else mention the MLT variant so I thought i'd include it here.
Hello,
it seems that there is a problem with the Netflix app on MTCD units.
Android 5.1 Quad Core - apparently you can install and enter the app, but can't play any video materials.
Android 6.0.1 Octa Core - unable to install the app via Play Store (can't even see the Play Store entry for Netflix); sideloading the application from APKMirror.com gives the error that the app is not compatible with the device. Netflix then redirects to their own site which mentions downloading another apk straight from them - this one just bugs out 4-5 times before stopping completely.
This happens both in factory ROMs and the @Malaysk ROM.
My theory is that I would need to somehow make Netflix think that it is being installed on a smartphone, like a Samsung Galaxy or a Sony Xperia.
How can I go about posing the headunit as a phone? Is such a thing even possible?
I tried sideloading the Netflix app on my Pumpkin RQ0278E yesterday and it worked like a champ, it has Marshmallow btw.
..
How?
Brickbeats... Where did you side load it from? I can't get it to work on my pumpkin... Android 6.0.1
It's working fine for me on 6.0.1, I had to install the apk they point you to after you install the app from google play.
Same as NaviPR.. Hope someone can help..

I have a px3 7.1.2 - 2gb - mtcd 2.54a. I downloaded the netflix app direktly from the netflix website and it work like a charm. The only problem is when you are looking a film and you Change the volume, the film paused and you have to push the play button to continue.
in my case, i only hear audio but i can see only a black screen, if i press timebar, i see one freezed frame for one second, after only sound and black screen, apk downloaded from netflix official! before downgrade 2.58_1 to 2.54a it's work perfectly

I have a Uconnect Head unit in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (It's actually the UAQ unit (2018 model)) and I have tried to play Netflix content to the head unit via Android Auto (Newest version in Play store) and AA Unlock and AA Mirror. I have used two devices which I describe below, but can not get video overlay to work. When I start Netflix on those two devices below, I see the menu, I can login, I see movie and tv selections, but when I start to play the movie, all I can see are the controls for the video. (volume, progression slider, etc.) but NOT the video itself. I can hear it. It shows fine on the two devices, but when linked via USB cable to Android Auto on the head unit. NO video. Amazon Prime video works fine, as does the DirecTV app, my plex app and others.
My two devices are:
A Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" (Sprint version) running Lineage OS 14.1, unlocked and rooted. I am running AA Unlock, AA Mirror and the current version on Android Auto from the play store.
A Samsung Galaxy S5 (Verizon UNLOCKED) with Lollipop (Android 5.0) and rooted. I am running AA Unlock, AA Mirror and the current version on Android Auto from the play store.
BOTH will not play Netflix videos when connected. I can see the movie playing on both screens of the devices, but not to the head unit. I have tried different versions of Netflix (both from the play store and from direct downloads of the .apk). Nothing seems to work.
Some say that the Custom ROM is the problem, some say that the devices being rooted is the problem, but neither works.
Ideas?
Great site....long time viewer, first time poster.

So not an MTCD unit, you have an Android Auto unit? If so, you might best be asking in Android Auto Forums.
Just go to APKMirror and download a version that is for Andriod 4.0+, not Android 5.0+ that's where they have all the errors with our devices which are somewhat rooted.

Hi everybody!
I have a question, pretty important to me. I have MTCB_KD_V2.41 unit running on Android 5.1.1.
Question (sorry for bad english, I´ll try to keep it simple): Use additional monitor (foldable on dash) to run GPS software (sygic) installed on head unit and at the same time to keep on head unit some other app opened (music, video, youtube....)?
Reason is that I have VW Mk4 Jetta so when I am using GPS I can´t have eyes on the road because HU is down in console, close to the shifter!
One thing I am sure is that HU have one or two video outputs!
Tnx in advance!!!

I don't know the answer but I'm interested.
Maybe I'll put in displays in the headrests for playing video for the kids if this is an option

I have an Hizpo branded android 7.1.2 XRC unit (direct fit for a 2007 cr-v) and here are my experiences with this android deck in terms of dual zone:
I have an overhead flip down monitor (which is connected to one of the video out rca behind the deck) in the back for the kids. The only 2 sources that will allow some form of dual zone for me is the DVD player and AUX input. When on either of those sources I am only able to run and display my navigation app on the deck it self (while the overhead is showing the selected "source")
If I select any other source (ie: radio, video and music player... Etc..) the overhead monitor will go black with no signal meaning my deck does not mirror the image to the video out (which I kind of hoped it did). Please keep in mind this my experience with this Hizpo deck as I do know some will mirror whats on the deck to the video out (just do a youtube search and you will see).
Hope this helps!
So, there is no way I can assign additional screen for GPS app or at least duplicate HU display?

Hello,
Not sure if this is the right place, but im losing my mind. I recently got e46 bmw with android headunit, i have never owned one before. Playing music through radio is fine, smooth and clear. Whenever i tried playing music through bluetooth from my iphone 12 using spotify and youtube music is stuttering / freezing every 5-7 seconds. Then i tried downloading spotify and youtube and play from android itself, it still does that!

Requested moved to [MTCD Q&A]
Suggest upgrading to a PX6 SOM or even better, ditch the MTCD unit and buy a 4GB+ 7862UIS FYT based unit. Read forums.
