RDS info from Spotify - MTCD Software Development

Hello everyone!
I have a PX5 radio dash unit with Android 10. There is a stock FM radio app which is capable of displaying FM frequency on the built-in display next to speedometer. Don't know exactly how it's done, I suppose it's communicating on the CANBUS. Original radio had also RDS displaying on this display. This display normally displays date and time, only then radio is on, it changes the purpose.
My question - is it possible to read the artist and song name from current played song in spotify to be displayed that way? Is there any possible link between these?
Car: Fiat Bravo II 2008
Best regards!

Hello.
Indeed, on my cars (Peugeot RCZ) happens the same. When the FM app is working the frequency (but not the RDS) is displayed in the monochrome display. As far as I know, the C Type screen allows displaying all kind of stuff (RDS, song name when playing MP3, etc...) so it may be interesting if there is some way to trick the CanBus communication for showing more info...

Can you share the picture of your CAN Bus adapter? Id very much want to find one that would allow the same on a Alfa 159 (Same OEM)

Want to listen to some UK stations? Check out my latest hack!

I’ve been told it’s impossible to play back, say, UK-based LBC on Windows Mobile, while, for example, the iPhone already has a client for this station.
Being a streaming & Internet protocol freak (I *really* hope you’ve read my past, streaming-related tutorials and bibles), I quickly captured the real URL behind the stream. Just click the link: Windows Media Player Mobile will start and play it back. Now, you can’t say I don’t provide you with some very nice, self-invented hacks to show to your iPhone friends (“yes, I know, so far, it was impossible to play back this stream under Windows Mobile; this, however, isn’t the case any more”) ;-) Incidentally, you may also want to ask me to provide access to some of the multimedia streams you want to play back on WinMo - I may be able to help you with them too. Please, public messages / requests only, for example, under this article so that the other readers can also learn from our discussion / my solution. No private messages are answered!
I, however, didn’t stop at that. I’ve continued investigating the other streams on the same streaming server, Mediaweb-Musicradio to help my readers wanting to listen to them: I’ve quickly coded a small program to dump all the available streams. They’re as follows:
Capital Radio
Gold
XFM London
Beacon Radio
Leicester Sound
Mercia FM
Derby's RAM FM 102.8
Wyvern FM
Fun Radio
XFM Manchester
Champion 103
Ten-17 FM
Mercury 96.6 FM
Mercury 102.7 FM
103.1 Beacon Radio
Nottingham's 96 Trent FM
Planet Rock
Classic FM
Chill
GWR FM Bristol
BRMB
BRMB - low
XFM Scotland
XFM Manchester
Red Dragon
Red Dragon
Invicta FM
Ocean FM
Power FM
Power FM - low
Fox FM
Capital Radio
Southern FM
Our Kind of Music
Classic FM TV
LBC 1152
Heart Digital
The Arrow
You can also access the list HERE as a simple HTML file. If you download the HTML file and store it on your phone, you won’t even need to reconnect to my server to access the list – just tap the HTML file and you can instantly click any of the stations. If you don’t want to do this, you may still want to prefer bookmarking this HTML file and not the one embedded in this article to reduce the waiting time for the article to download and render.
As usual, I provide you with the source of my app to see how it does it magic; it’s available HERE (it’s a Java app.) The above is the (manually) verified list of the stations listed in the directory, generated by this app. Unfortunately, few stations of the full list work. Nevertheless, I really hope you’ll like it.</p>

Maybe put FM TRANSMITTER FOR HD2/NEXUS ONE in the title
I vote for a better title also...
Make it clear, because this title sounds like a noob that do not search creating a thread that will be shut down in a matter of minutes.
Maybe something like: "We need help to activate FM transmitter in HD2"
Hey hoss, congrats on Egypt's great win yesterday.
Can you please use proper capitalization in the title? Like what zefiltrin posted: "We need help to activate FM transmitter in HD2".
I have an HD2 and it would be immensely useful to have an FM transmitter!
As I wrote before, FmRadioSDK.dll and HTCFM.dll are wrappers, not drivers.
HTCFM.DLL is wrapper of FmRadioSDK.dll. FMRadioSDK is wrapper of Bluetooth Stack.
Bluetooth stack decode data and forward request and hide all implementation details inside.
I bet HTC doesn't know those implementation details and broadcomm won't tell anybody (unless pay for it?).
we need to work on BT related files.
I posted key functions within FMRadioSDK in FM RDS thread before.
I think we have to write a tool to inject bluetooth stack/driver to see how things work.
The worst thing could be bluetooth stop working while our program control FM Transmitter etc.

Hello my friends,
Can you explain me why you want to make an FM transmitter with HD2 / Nexus ?
And what is the Mhz ?
22MHZ to 200 MHZ ?
Thanks a lot,
regards,
Nixeus
I can answer question #1 - simply because its,
cool, fun, and useful (in the car/hookup to stream your music to a sound system and you forgot the cable and maybe just got the headset)

An FM transmitter, as mentioned above, is useful for sending music to your car's radio in case it doesn't have an audio in jack or you don't want additional wiring.
As for the frequency, that would the regular FM channels' frequencies which fall in the range of 87.5-108.0 MHz. Ideally, if FM transmission was achieved on HD2/N1, it should be able to transmit at low power at any frequency falling within that range. The user would choose the frequency at which there is least interference in his location and use it to transmit low-power FM signals that his car can pick up.
I just played with FM transmitter feature of a prototype nokia phone.
Interestingly it prompts me to unplug accessories (headset) in order to enable FM Transmitter.
That means FM Transmitter is not using headset as antenna.
Looking at size of this device I don't think it use large/long internal antenna either.
Also read some internal documents related to broadcomm BCM chipset. Broadcomm provided SDK to manufactures rather than giving them hardware interface documents. The phone must sends a set of RAM initialization data to the BCM chipset after reset otherwise the chipset won't response to any commands.
In other word, we will need two things:
1. Find a device that using same chipset to provide FM transmitter. So we will know initialization data and control commands.
2. reverse engineer Broadcomm SDK/FM Radio on HD2 to understand the hardware ports.
After that it is possible to write a hardware driver for HD2.
ps. I think FM transmitter is useless. I have one at home. sound quality is too poor, even worse than WM radio. feels like a low pass filter.
And have to keep changing frequency when traveling between cities.
I spent £ 15 bought a cheapest mp3 in car stereo that supports SD card, USB drive and AUX input with many useful features, with expected sound quality.
If I spent a little more on that car stereo could come with A2DP so that I can use phone bluetooth as "FM Transmitter"
I only need it plays music from my key ring USB drive. threw my old Alpine stereo with that FM transmitter away.
This would be great! I could finally kick the ipod to the curb!
really will be useful
goooo....
funny i was just wondering yesterday about getting one of those fm transmitters commonly used for ipods, thinking it might work better than the poor sound i'm currently getting from the head phones i'm using with my leo.
would this be compatible with my TP2?
No you tp2 don't have a (BCM4329)chip so no go

Its not an "Xtrons" - Xtrons are a seller only, it will be from one of the MTCB/C/D manufacturers, to find out which go to settings/about device and see what 2 or 3 letters come before the "MTCD" in the MCU field. Other people do have these units - look in the MTCD forum, hopefully this thread will be moved there soon.

As I ve said, Xtrons is a seller only so there is no "Xtrons firmware". What MCU is it ? Once thats been established we ll know who makes the firmware and its possible you can use the firmware from other MTC PX5 units just as you could, for instance use Klyde MTCB PX3 firmware on a KGL MTCB PX3 unit.
MCU-Version MTCD_GS_V2.15_1

Hi folks,
I got my Xtron today.
Now I have a question. I have a USB stick Huawei E173 (unlocked for Voice) connected with SIM card for data and telephony.
Unfortunately, the telephony does not work. I have installed a telephony app (RocketDail).
Data usage works without problems but when I call the number of the SIM card nothing happens.
Thx for Help and sorry for Google Translation.
Hello
1. Will shipping also be possible from Germany or another European country?
England is unfortunately already out of the European Union.
2. Can I get this device from root already?
I'm rooted because I have several programs that I need to run root, or Super User.
3. Will there be any price reductions planned in the near future?
4. Will it not be a problem with the reception of weaker FM radio stations in Europe? I am from Poland and I had a MTCD GS 1.34 device with 1 GB of ram but not from Xtrons and there the FM radio was very poor.
5. How is the audio processor? Quality is as good as the original Skoda car kits?
Can you compare with the Swing radio from Skoda?
6. What is the brightness of the display? Is it strongly visible in the sun?

An app for remotely accessing music in an android device from another.

I have a Nougat 7.1 android head unit in my car and also a nougat 7.1 android device (Moto Z). I can normally play any songs on my device from my head unit with the default application that comes with the it. I can also use any bt player available to do the same. However, I'd like to do one thing that these players do not enable, which is to remotely list the songs available in my device and choose the one I want to play from my head unit.
All I can do is to play, stop, play next or play the previous song. I want to actually list my songs, sort them by genre, album, artist, etc, and choose which one I want to play in my head unit. It is much more comfortable to it in the head unit than to use my phone while driving to change songs. I think if it has anything to do with AVRCP version supported.
I wonder if there is an app that enables me to do just that, either via bluetooth or wi-fi (tethering). I suppose one could build an app for that by implementing a more flexible protocol over BT or even the wifi network. I am just wondering if it does not exist already.

Question What should I buy?

Which HU do you recommend to buy?
Now I have Wondefoo MTCE PX5 4/32 (Hal9k mod v 5.1.0) and I wanted to change for something with UIS7862.
I am wondering about the following:
- Teyes CC3
- MEKEDE M700s
- Isudar T72
Is Teyes worth the money? I like this UI a lot, but I've read about these system locking issues against mods, apps and third-party accessories.
As far as I can see, the Isudar T72 doesn't have a cool UI and it's just plain Android without a cool launcher.
MEKEDE seems cool, lower price than Teyes. The UI also looks nice and you can also upgrade the screen to QLED or even 2K QLED.
What do i expect?
- Google Maps + Yanosik (app with navigation and warnings [speedcamera, road blocks, etc.]) + Spotify/FM radio working together
- it's nice if the factory radio app has support for the logo of the selected station
- Google assistant
- volume change in relation to speed
- nokill for the application (e.g. Spotify auto play when it was before the radio was put to sleep)
- rear and front camera in the bumper
- TPMS support (I currently have Deelife TPMS)
- CANBUS for Fiat Bravo II
Does anyone have a 360 camera set for this type of radio? How does it work and is it worth it?
The only question is, which HU will be the most worthwhile in terms of value for money? Which has the least problems?
I've got the Mekede M300S for my Peugeot 308.
Google Maps is working brilliantly with Android Auto. There is a standalone Google Maps app as well, which works just like on your phone
Spotify works (even with xManager), standalone or through Android Auto
I don't listen to radio at all, but I know there's an app which supports stations with logos, easily downloadable
Google Assistant works by clicking on the Voice Search app on the headunit, works natively with the Assistant button on your car or by saying "Hey Google" if you're using Android Auto
Supports adaptive volume
Not sure about autoplay on Spotify as standalone, but Android Auto does support this feature. It'll resume the music when you connect to your car if it was playing before
Supports rear view camera through analog input, front camera through USB. Alternatively, you have the option to purchase an optional 360 camera option, but you need to buy the unit with this as they need to do some modifications to the unit at the factory to solder the extra chip needed. LINK
Does support TPMS. Not sure if it support Deelife TPMS, but they have their own option.
It does come with a canbus decoder I believe, but you need to ask the seller to be sure. It came with one for my Peugeot.
Avoid teyes unless you reside in eastern Europe.
I have mekede store (whoever that is that claim to be mekede) FYT 53 and 116. Model numbers are made up and can vary FYI factory of origin. These are supposted m500 and m700.
Both are good reliable units that have proven superior to MTCx platform.
Whatever you decide, get screenshots of system info and their promise of screen type before handing over cash.
@marchnz nope, fortunagely I am from western Europe The more I read it looks like Teyes is sh.i.t in a nice piece of paper (like candy). Pity, I like theirs design
I think that I am most willing to buying Mekede. It will probably be the most powerful configuration.
But are these QLED screens worth anything? There is a small surcharge for regular QLED, a little higher for QLED 2K, but on the other hand I can see that the buttons on the left are missing on the 2K screen. And there will be good to have buttons for on and off or changing volume, I think ...
@daviddosa As for the front camera, I do not want a dvr (I have a decent Viofo dvr camera), but I want one for parking, like the rear one, but in the front.
All from my list are dedicated for my car, so that they have canbus.
Why doesn't Joying appear in your list?

Which HU do you recommend to buy?
Now I have Wondefoo MTCE PX5 4/32 (Hal9k mod v 5.1.0) and I wanted to change for something with UIS7862.
I am wondering about the following:
- Teyes CC3
- MEKEDE M700s
- Isudar T72
Is Teyes worth the money? I like this UI a lot, but I've read about these system locking issues against mods, apps and third-party accessories.
As far as I can see, the Isudar T72 doesn't have a cool UI and it's just plain Android without a cool launcher.
MEKEDE seems cool, lower price than Teyes. The UI also looks nice and you can also upgrade the screen to QLED or even 2K QLED.
What do i expect?
- Google Maps + Yanosik (app with navigation and warnings [speedcamera, road blocks, etc.]) + Spotify/FM radio working together
- it's nice if the factory radio app has support for the logo of the selected station
- Google assistant
- volume change in relation to speed
- nokill for the application (e.g. Spotify auto play when it was before the radio was put to sleep)
- rear and front camera in the bumper
- TPMS support (I currently have Deelife TPMS)
- CANBUS for Fiat Bravo II
Does anyone have a 360 camera set for this type of radio? How does it work and is it worth it?
The only question is, which HU will be the most worthwhile in terms of value for money? Which has the least problems?

I just got an AOTO S8 Ultra G2 that I'm bench testing while my car is in the shop and I'm loving it. Like it so good i ordered the dash trim and harness to (temporarily) put it in my truck.

A bit yes.
I want that HU comes with a canbus for my car because I have a Fiat system called Blue&Me. It's pain in the ass...
Without the canbus, steering wheel controls and a few other things won't work. That's why I don't want anything universal, but something that is tested (or should be) for my car.
Just simple Plug & Play.
Hmm, I had the same dilema, thanks to you, this Mekeda M700S look quite interesting.
