Please help Ford Xtrons unit - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

WiFi won’t turn on, cannot mirror or load a navigation any ideas? Thanks in advance

You're rather short on detail. My first thought the WiFi module is not present anymore. Could be just a lost connection (bad solder) with the MCU or it blew up. Or it could be you changed something and the driver is not loading or is missing but again could be anything at this point.

Thanks, apologies for the brief description I was trying to figure out how to upload pictures off an iPhone, I’m pretty sure the last owner has screwed up the settings and deleted the driver as the fm radio option cannot be pressed either, is there a generic os that can be put back into these with all the original options thanks again for the response

There might be but Xtrons has many models that fit a Ford. You should lookup the info in the about menu and let us know what's the CPU and MCU.

The only info it’s offering is
Processor quadcore T3
Android version 6.0.1
Mcu version T5.3.19-36-40-E53201-17069
System version V8.2.3_20170809.190721_MLT1-DVD
Hope this helps thanks again

Not an MTCD, there might be some discussion in android head unit threads. What does Xtrons support suggest?

Radio not working - MCU questions

I have a PX3 from XRC with 7.1.2 which I flashed with Malaysk rom which worked great for about a week, then the radio totally died. No stations are found, auto search does not work and no audio from radio at all (not even static radio noice). I reflashed stock firmware and MCU but radio is still not working..
I have seen some videos stating the MCU config might be the problem in some way (YT video example) where the radio has been selected wrong or defaulted for some reason, the problem is that under "Radio" in "Factory Settings" I can't select any radio chip as in the video but only "YES" or "NO".
1. The "Factory Settings" option in settings, is this an APK or where are the options (not values!) / GUI stored? I tried flashing a old MCU for XRC but the options of only YES and NO persists so my assumption is that the GUI is stored in a read-only part of MCU (or XRC has removed them in all of their MCU updates).
2. Is there any other way of changing the MCU values with custom values? Another tool?
3. Anyone have any other idea what can be wrong and maybe how to fix it? The seller has stopped responding so I am on my own here..
Thanks for the help!
I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I solved it that way. Factory Settings (Code 126) Then to the rider radio, there the frequenz swap. I changed from Germany to China. Since then it is fine again. I hope that help you. Sorry for the bad Englisch . Google translate

Yeah I have already tried that, switching radio present country does not help. Changed to China, save, restart, reset, then same thing to EU. No difference..
If anyone has a XRC config file for Android 7.1.2 with working radio I would be really thankful if anyone could send it to me ?

Here is a list of original factory settings for XRC. Now I am on xrc 2.71 (or 2.72...i dont remember) and new4_px3_7.1(20171102) and setting still works. I have never install Malaysk's firmwares - only the originals from the seller. I have only changed the tab 'VOICE' (to increase system sounds to 20)

Thank you for the photos but my settings are almost identical.
I also use 2.71 MCU since yesterday and it still does not work. It won't search for radiostations and I hear no radio noice at all. The only thing I can think of is that it is a hardware failure..
The file "new4_px3_7.1" also works for XRC then?

Yes, all updates in past 4 months works ok ( only new4_px3_7.1......, not malaysk's....). I am always updating the mcu and px2 firmware. It looks like hardware error....
i have the exact same problem since my mcu update failure, i am using a special recovery MCU file created with Wadzio´s mtcdmcutool and the radio is not working

Hi,
In DMESG. - [mtc @@@ radio chip not detected]
Wonder if there is a hardware or i2c issue?
Just looking at the schematic, the designers of these units use a novel supply arrangement with two linear voltage regulators - one 7809 9v reg. Feeding a 7805 5v regulator.
These regulators get hot. Suggest testing with a voltmeter to see if the Radio module is receiving +5v.

Obvious keyword xD
and i was looking and thinking in a way like "MD725" etc.
However i will take a look at the Radio Module if its the area where the antenna goes in and come back here =)

It looks like I have the same issue.
I bought a radio on Amazon
Android 7.1.2
Its a PX3 MCU version loaded now is MTCD_XRC_V2.54a_1 Jun 16 2017
I have two issues with the radio and im hoping to get some guidance from an expert.
The voice to text don;t work, I tried everything to get the mic to pickup but it dont. I even got an external mic to no avail.
If I do a bluetooth call people can hear me, I seen some others on this XDA forum but couldnt find a fix for it.
The other issue is the tuner / radio dont work. Just static and picks up nothing.
I contacted Amazon and they pointed me to the Hizpo website but there is no contact info.
I tried a couple of the downloads here to no avail. Any ideas on this issue?
Again, thanks so much for your time and help.
Anyone fixed this annoying radio crash? Same problem, radio dead. Played with different mcu versions, none of them respawned radio again... is there any tool to diagnose the comm to the radio module or manually select it from a list of tda's? Thanks for your input!
Same exact problem

My radio is completely dead, no sound whatsoever on this px3.
The reason my radio did not work is/was that i had the USBtoUART Adapter plugged in and wired to MCU, and the RX/TX wires are the ones also going to Radio Module.
So when i unplug the USBtoUART Module, my radio works again, you guys may need to trace or possible bridge that 4700ohm resistor coming from MCU to Radio module test wise
EDIT: here i found my old picture and marked in green

PX5 Android 6.0.1 kill the software when startup. What I can do?

I have a headunit in my car with Android 6.0.1 from the manufacturer KSP and I have been looking in the forum but I really do not clarify much. My intention is to activate a screensaver and a program for detection of radars so that it run immediately after starting the unit; with this I would already be happy (the unit erases the software in memory when it comes out of sleep mode).
I discover this files in my stock rom of the radio (see photo). It can help me for my problem?. How I can do it?

I don't know. First you can try opening the files. They should be readable.

Dasaita PX6

Ok,
So I got a on some recommendations here.
now what? Are there any custom roms I can use?
I would recommend read trough the forums...
And no, there are no modded Android 9 Roms at the moment.
You have to wait for Hal9k_ and Malaysk to come out with one when they are done.

I've spent hours on the forums but there is so much out there its hard to get a handle on. the last unit I had was a nu3001 and was a bit more straight forward.
I'm not sure I care about android 9 if there is a ROM I can put on mine that is android 8 or whatever I don't care as long as it de-china-fied. I'll continue to look but was hoping for a quicker answer as I'm about to pull the trigger on buttoning up the car with wiring and dash....
Thanks!

Your px6 came with android 9 anyway. There is no custom roms for px6 at the moment. With that said, android 9 is what I'm running (px5) and has been the most stable out of any modded ROM available from Hal9k or anyone else. You'll need to wait before a modded release is issued . They are being worked on.
For the time being, you could install FCC Launcher for A9. There's a thread in the forums here.

Furthermore you could root your unit aswell. Even it is just possible by using SuperSu at the moment with Android 9.
Youll find the guides in the forums.

Yes, latest version px6
My Dasaita Px6 head unit has been working flawlessly for a little bit less than a month aside from a few disconnects with Android Auto.
However, today my head unit crashed 2x. Each time I heard a speaker popping distortion noise for a second and then the head unit restarted.
The only app that was running was Spotify with the unit connected to my phone's hot spot. Weather was about 60F so it wasn't a very hot day.
Has anyone encountered this before and if so, do you know what might be causing it?

could be a wiring issue or might need to factory reset the unit. I think everyone should factory reset as soon as they get the unit anyway.

I'm having the same issue and was blaming Malaysk mod for this...
Have you solved the issue? I will go back to stock and factory reset everything next week (is there a MCU factory reset option?).
I too have experienced the same exact problem and it happens once or twice a day. The UI freezes for a few seconds then there is a loud crackling sound coming from the speakers for another few seconds followed by a crash and reboot. It appears to happen randomly when I'm interacting with apps and more than likely is not heat related since it's been only a few degrees above freezing here and has happened only a few minutes after turning on my car. I've also had freezes where the UI and all buttons stop working but the radio keeps playing and only a forced reboot fixes it. I'm on Malaysk full mod and plan to go back to stock to do some troubleshooting and see if it's hardware or software-related.

I tried going back to stock and changing many different MCU versions with the same exact issues you are describing: freezing or rebooting in the first few minutes after starting the car.
Today I had another new issue: I had one of the described freezes but after shutting down the car the display of Dasaita went black but the touch buttons remained on (LEDs on). I had to disassemble the HU to unplug the power cable... This is not a small bug anymore, this is a huge issue, I am trying to contact support with no answers. Did you find a solution or have any suggestion?
Do you have stock recovery? Do you know how to install stock recovery?
I also would like to factory reset MCU setting but I have no idea how to do it. Did you change any setting in factory settings menu? I'm worried that it could be something there.

I have the same issue sometimes my HU crashes with popping sound. I blame MCU 3.37 but i am not sure. Maybe i should re-update it without cfg settings files because i flashed it with exported MCU settings and put the cfg file next to the img file when i flashed the new MCU

Where do you get the cfg file? I always flashed MCU without cfg file but maybe we could get a cfg file from a device with no issues and flash it alongside the MCU.

You create it for your unit from factory config menu. Or document factory settings before updating MCU, right. Perhaps search for more info or read wiki.

Thank you, I'm going to read it, but I assume that the cfg file you create from the factory settings menu is a backup of your current configuration, not a real clean factory configuration, am I right?

You have a Dasaita MAX6, right?
If yes, can you send me a dmcu.cfg file generated with your device?
If you changed only that setting it is pratically a stock configuration, I think I changed something more...
I'm not sure if it is the normal behaviour but when I update the MCU or if I wipe data from recovery or if I do a factory reset from system settings, the MCU settings are never changed. My custom configuration is never overwritten or deleted.
Thank you,

Question FYT - GPS time incorrect

Hi guys,
I have a Joying 10.1 inch head unit and and the GPS time and date is not correct, I have tried manually setting up the date on the settings and set the automatic on the settings but still won't update correctly. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a fix that you can suggest?
Unit: Joying 10.1 Sofia 3gr GTX MOD
I'm having the same issue with mine-emailed joying support and of course they weren't much help. It seems to have randomly started happening, then I did a full firmware flash and it still happens.
See this post from @IG_Vasilich : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...9a3-2018-04-22.3742482/page-119#post-84877441
修正 GPS 日期
Tried this on my Joying JY-UMS03N2 Intel unit, but the GPS date is still wrong. I guess the receiver itself needs updated firmware?
Also noticed in this thread that it may contain a Trojan, so will revert the C9 Server back if I can figure out how ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ing-rom-v9a3-2018-04-22.3742482/post-85024725
Anyone solved this yet?
Nobody has been able to solve this? Can anyone explain how this even happened? My headunit doesn't even connect to the Internet so my guess is that it was something preprogrammed.
Any word on a solution?

[Solved] - Help. After debrick, the rear view camera no longer works. PX5 MTCE_CHS_V3.67.1

Hi all of you.
I hope you can help me with this problem.
After debrick my unit, a seicane with android 10 - (MTCE_CHS_V3.67.1), Octa-Core Cortex [email protected] ghz, 4Gb Ram, specific for mini countryman R60, the rear view camera stopped working.
When I engage reverse gear, the screen turns black, but nothing is visible. For the rest, gps, bluetooth etc, all ok.
Android 9 is now mounted.
I don't think it's a wiring error because it always worked and the problem occurred after the debrick.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
if your screen turn to black it seems that the fuction of the camera is working... the signal you recieve from the its not something special. Just and old type of analog signal.. try to use an app which can open the video manually without the reverse year. Are you sure camera is working?

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I agree perfectly with you. It is a hardware function that does not require any particular configuration. Unfortunately my car is a mini countryman. it is particularly long and complicated to disassemble to access the wiring.
I cannot rule out a wired malfunction but it seems very unlikely to me. the malfunction occurred when the radio was reset after the debrick.
IMHO : Check (re-write) your MTCE_CHS_V3.67.1, and, eventually upgrade !
LE : Unfortunately I don't see a higher version... (https://disk.yandex.com/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/MCU for MTCD, MTCE, MTCP, Intel Sofia3g/CHS)

As I am inexperienced with these car radios and would like to avoid disasters, is the MCU common to many radio platforms?
MCU for MTCD, MTCE, MTCP, Intel Sofia3g
Hello everybody.
always concerning my problem I realized that in the factory settings (those protected by the pin) before the brick appeared a voice of the microphone, now it has disappeared. Is it possible to understand why this difference considering that it is a function of the MCU?
Thanks for your collaboration.
Have you installed the older MCU?
Thanks for the reply. Not yet.
I sent a request for assistance to Seicane, the manufacturer of my radio, asking for the firmware for a total reset.
Still no answer, unfortunately.
He waited a little longer and if they don't respond I will install the version you recommended.
I have teh same problem after debrick. Upgrade to Android 10 solved the problem for me, so it's problem with firmware.
