Bad GPS Reception - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

My head unit occasionally cannot get a GPS fix (as witnessed by Google Maps showing an incorrect location). This is sporadic and can be a momentary or prolonged issue until I restart the unit. I have tried using the included puck antenna and also my car's factory GPS antenna with identical results.
Currently on stock 8.0 ROM. Would using Malaysk or Hal ROM perhaps alleviate the issue?
Thanks

Navigation (google maps & waze) causing xtrons head unit lock-up

I just installed an Xtrons PA7746BP head unit in my car. It's a px3 7.1 unit with RAM: 2GB CPU: Quad-core ROM: 16GB RK3188.
I am having issues with the unit locking up when using navigation. I've tried google maps as well as waze. Usually after 10 min of use the unit just locks. Anyone else have similar experience and know of a fix?
Thanks!

Hi, I removed Waze for the same reason...Instead I'm using Offlinemaps app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navigation.offlinemaps.gps&hl=es Google Maps doesn't work properly neither...you must use a specific version if you don't want your unit freeze (read bout it in the forum) ...I know waze is a great app for speed cameras and traffic controls, I've ended using TomTom safety cameras instead.
I'm wondering if this is a network buffering issue. I have had flaky behavior this evening on streaming audio apps when going through poor cell quality locations.
I am tethering my head unit to my phone. If I run apps (audio streaming or nav) on the phone I don't have issues, but when tethered, audio streaming apps (like Amazon) on the head unit will stop playing mid song saying they can't stream. Same app on the phone running hotspot works fine. Could the network buffering between cellular and wifi be different?

You need to use Google Maps Version 4.46.2. Don't update it.
Has anyone found out what the cause of this is. I am facing a similar problem...
I have a PX5 Xtrons (GS) headunit and whenever i run Waze/Google Maps (9.46.2), after 30+ minutes , i get a "GPS lost, searching for GPS" message and the system starts to lag behind. Changing tracks/radio stations or volume at that time has a big delay. Closing the navigation apps makes everything run smoothly again. I have tried the latest GS stock ROM V2.73 (MTCE), and currently on the latest Malaysk Custom ROM. I've checked system temperature and GPS reception using Android apps and both seemed fine.
It’s a pain I had my unit replaced as it kept crashing and ensured google maps was 2.46.2 on this new one, and it was great for an hour this morning, then I noticed it was still on the A20 when I wasn’t and then it threw up the stopped warning. Restarted google maps and it failed again. Would be seriously annoying on a long trip rather than just trying to avoid traffic on the way to work.
Waze doesn’t work properly at all now. Really like having online maps for the traffic advice.

New PX5 Android 8.0, 4GB RAM, Bluetooth not working

Hello,
I've got a new Dasiata PX5 with Android 8.0 and 4GB of RAM in my Honda CRV-2012.
Everything is OK exect the Bluetooth is not working. It can not recognize any device. Also no device can see the radio (tried Galaxy S8 and iphone 6).
I tried changing the bluetooth adapter in Factory menu then reboot, but no one worked.
Since bluetooth is 100% essential for me, any help would be appreciated.
No device found:

I had the same issue when upgrading from Android 6.0 to 8. Have you contacted Dasiata about the issue?
If unable to resolve, consider downgrading to Android 6, at least to test your bluetooth. You can always go back to 8.

Bluetooth noise
I have recently installed an HA2102-V840-8 "10.2" HD Touch Screen Octa Core Android 8.0 car GPS player 4G RAM + 32G autoradio" in my Lancer. It's an awesome unit, looks great and has great features.
The only problem is digital/electronic noise whenever there is audio playing. The noise is only present when my phone (or any phone) is paired with bluetooth and some/any audio source is active. It happens with usb audio, radio and phone. It stops as soon as the phone is unpaired/bluetooth turned off or music is paused. It also stops briefly between music tracks. Has anyone else encountered this?

PX5 MTCE_LM dashcam/dvr recording woes

I have an (Auto)Pumpkin PX5 unit running MTCE_LM_V2.81_1 firmware (Oreo) and I can't get the damn thing to record video with any dashcam apps other than the stock "DVR" app that came pre-installed. They all preview just fine but as soon as I hit record the unit freezes then reboots.
This unit is replacing an older similar unit (RK3188) which I used for a couple of years with a camera I have installed in my car - I know the camera works and I know the SD Cards work as I used them with the old unit.
I've tried saving to numerous locations with all the various programs hoping that maybe one of my SD cards had gone bad, I've tried the 3 different USB ports available on the unit, different camera orientations, volume on/off, GPS tracking on/off, I've tried literally everything I can think of - including searching threads the internet for a few hours now.
Anyone else having similar issues? Or better yet, can anyone else confirm they have this working somewhere?
It won't work, I tried every app I could find and the only one that works is the built in one.
Yes. That's why I choosed to buy a stand alone dashcam instead of a simple usb cam. It's a lilttle more expensive (not too much, in my case), but it offers more functionality, like the crucial g-sensor for automatic fixing of recordings in case of a crash, not possible with our head units that lacks a gyroscope... Stand alone dash cam also doesn't slow down the head unit with background recording activity and if you (like I did) buy a wifi model, you can also manage it from the head unit anyway, simply installing the specific manufacturer's app on it! Last thing, I powered my dash cam directly from one of the USB ports on the back of my head unit, so it's swiched on and off automatically by the car and the installation is super clean without any wire in sight. I'm using a YI Mini Dash Cam, by the way.
Just a heads-up that I tried installing Hal9k's ROM 3 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...nt/rom-hal9k-rom-3-mtcd-e-head-units-t3847477) in order to try to resolve the recording issue and, while I do enjoy a few features the custome ROM has brought along with it, it did not resolve the issue. I am guessing that it is a firmware issue of some nature and we're just going to have to wait and see what else might come-about to fix it.
see if this helps

[Xtrons PX5] USB Permission Bug / 8.1 Upgrade / Dashcam wrong speed

Hi there,
I buyed a xtrons px5 head unit for Opel, I installed malaysk firmware 2.0 for further customizations. Unit is running almost fine. Had some overheating issues after long driving with navigation. Dont want to open and add heatsink because losing warranty.
One big annoying problem is USB Permissions Message when using USB CAN Adapter with Torque. Every boot or wake-up from standby unit asking me again for USB persmission for canbus adapter, even if I tap use by default.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
Xtrons now selling units with Android 8.1, what the ****? New hardware? No update for existing px5 units?
My dashcam from xtrons (UCam china chipset) displays wrong speed and perhaps wrong position. My friend with stock firmware has same problem, any fix for that?
Greetings from Germany

AM Radio Not Working, Only FM Radio

I have Klyde PX5 MTCE headunit with dedicated DSP. FM radio is working well but AM Radio does not have any signal, does not detect any station when scanning. I only hear hiss..
What is the possible solution? Is this hardware or software problem? I'll highly appreciate any help.
Here are the dmesg and logcat.

Thanks
Anyone?
This is maybe a minor issue but very frustrating for me who usually listens to the AM radio as part of my daily routine.
Update:
Seller sent me a new radio module. Unfortunately, it is still not working. Then fortunately, I suddenly have an idea of connecting the "Auto Antenna Control" wire of the HU to the "Remote Antenna" pin of my car's harness. Suprised me that it fixed the AM radio. Works really great. The FM radio signal also improves significantly.
Seems the "remote antenna" provides power, sort of booster, to my car's stock antenna.
