px5 mtcd_kgl stuttering-skipping-lagging music - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

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!
Android info:
CPU: 8 core 64-bit coretex-a53 @ 1.5G
Memory: 2000MB
Model number: A-media auto (1024x600 W)
Android version: 6.0.1

Kernel version: 3.10.0
Build number: px5-userdebug 6.0.1 MXCL89L user.hct.20170812.100646 test-keys
No idea what most of these means!! if i could get more help i would apreciate, do i need to update mcu if yes how?b

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.

Measy UB4

Hello guys, I am new here and I needed a little help. I got the Measy U4b quad core and been trying to get the play store app installed. It came with JB 4.2.2 and only has a handful of apps. I installed the play store.apk and when I run the app it opens and closes immediately. I have seen other videos of Android t.v sticks with the play store but for some reason mine is limited. I also searched Google for hours to see if i can find anything but i guess this device is new so support is hard to find. Any help is greatly appreciated.
CPU RK3188 (1.8GHz, ARM Cotex A9)
RAM 2G DDR3
Flash 8G
OS Android 4.2.2
Bluetooth Bluetooth 4.0
WiFi 802.11b/g/n
Update. For some reason my firmware was shipped wrong and was missing about half the apps. I found a page that has the stock rom 4.2 and it includes all the apps it should have had.

Bluetooth metadata, Android and Kenwood KDC-X997

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:

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

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.

Netflix doesn't work on MTCD units

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..
hi, i have a px3 xrc with android 7.1.2 and 2gb ram i've downgrade mtcd from mtcd 2.58_1 to 2.54a and netflix doesn't work,

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.

Audio Files cut off - PX5 Android 8.0

Hello,
I've got a Pumpkin AE0273B Headunit with an MTCE_KLD MCU (original: v2.87, currently v2.91 sound patched). I've installed the Navigation System Here WeGo and recognized that the Audio Files where cut off. For Example if it says "Follow the Street" the Headunit only Plays "Follow the Stre". First i thought it is an Error from the App and tested the Soundfiles with the preinstalled Player. But this one cuts it off too. After that I tested it with the vlc for android with disabled Hardware Acceleration and the same happenend. After that I copied the Files to my PC but there they play until the end. So I tried it on my Smartphone (also Android 8.0) and also there they play until the end.
The Audio stops about 500 ms before the end of the File. I've tested it with the Stock Firmware, the Hal9k Rom and the Malaysk Rom but always the same Result.
Maybe someone can give me a Hint where I can look what the Problem is.
I've checked the Logcat but there is nothing special I would say. I also tried other Files like MP3, they have the same Problem. I've tested some Parameter in the Converter, for Example constant Bitrate and variable Bitrate no changes. Then I extended the Files with 500ms of silence and they play until the speech end but it is not a real solution more a workaround. And if the Navi App plays more Wav files like "Follow the Street for 10 km" the Start of the next Wav file "for" sounds awful like it is combining two Audio Outputs.
Greetings reifl
Hi there,
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I am now experiencing this issue as well... stock firmware, PX5, Android 8.
I first noticed it with Google Assistant, then with navigation.
Cheers
I had that problem with the PX5 MTCD/MTCE as long as I can remember. I'm pretty sure it wasn't fixed in Android 9.0 either. Very recently I got a CSN2 PX5 HU by accident, and it is without this issue.
Thanks for the confirmation. I thought the issue might only be with my unit...
Just in case anyone else gets this issue, the details of my unit are:
Build number: px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.hct.20180706.161540 test-keys
MCU version: MTCE_CZ_V3.06_2
It is a HIZPO Unit (not allowed to post the link).
Apart from the audio cutting out prematurely, it is a top little unit! Straight forward to install - a little soldering here and there. Wasn't a perfect fit in to my trusty 2004 Camry, so it needed a little persuasion.
Same here for me on Android 10.
