Hi,
Anyone know if it is possible to remap the button on the standard wired headset remote so when pressed and held it will activate voice command rather than the built in voice dial?
Thanks

Hello, I am loving the sensation and mw600 pairing, however one key function does not seem to work - pressing the 'answer' button on the headset (short press) does not activate voice search. Long press triggers the mw600 device selection, double press triggers a last number redial... When the phone is ringing, short press answers the call successfully in the headset ..... I can hold down the search button on the phone itself successfully and this will activate voice search in the headset...
The key function of activating voice search from the headset itself by pressing the answer button fails.
I have tried workarounds with limited success, such as the headset button app, eg by assigning a double press on the play button to voice search... However I can get no functionality out of the main button itself other than answer and redial... Voice search capability via this button would be truly awesome.
Has anyone experienced this issue and / or any suggestions to make voice search via mw600 button functional?
I'm currently running the EnergyROM from 22nd December and it appears to work for me, though the results were awful - it never dialed the name I said, LOL.
I have a new car, and for some stupid reason, it has bluetooth headset connected to the multimedia panel but I don't have any 'voice command' button.
So for now I've used tasker to start voice recognition when I long press the home button when connected to the car BT.
However, starting voice recognition from the device and from the BT button is a bit different, while starting it from the device itself will only use the device microphone and wouldn't be connected to the multimedia panel, starting the voice recognition via the BT button (if any) would mute the music and use the external BT microphone to catch the command.
I was wondering if there is any way to simulate the BT button press when I long click the home button ?
I can use Tasker and I can build an app for that (if the SDK supports this)
Any ideas ?
Hello all,
So I purchased a buttonless PX5:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/And...32849648099.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.qvQ36y
However, none of the Android widgets or volume buttons work to control the volume.
Only the little button off to the top right corner does anything.
I feel like I'm going to crash my car, constantly hunting for that thing.
Is there anyway to patch/hack this thing to respond to something like a virtual volume slider like this?

Thanks!
Why do you need onscreen volume? Didnt you have a CAN and steering wheel controls? The volume control on HU is not the same as on smartphones. It has controlled by MCU board where android board sends special commands from the headunit service.
My car came with a sport package, which meant smaller diameter steering wheel and therefore no wheel controls
That being said, the sound slider via settings menu is indeed able to control the volume via onscreen controls. It just doesn't seem to respond to the normal android media controls, is there a way to link the two together?
Then the simplest way is to use infrared remote control (if your HU has it) or to buy universal resistive SWC and connect it to Key-wires.

The only way is to create your own service or automation that will send volume control broadcast intents to mcu.
For my MTCB it may be even a shell commands:
Code:
am broadcast -a com.microntek.irkeyDown --ei keyCode XX
where XX - 19 (volume up) or 27 (volume down).
You need to find this commands for your MTCE here and you will be able to use Tasker for your own service creation.
The second way is to write service on java. But you need a skill for that.
Found xposed-mtce-utils do the job. It has "a strip of volume control at the bottom of the screen".

Thanks for the link! I'll definitely give this a shot.
Do you have any experience entering recovery mode on a deck that has absolutely no buttons?

Don't have a MTC unit but try this,
Install Terminal Emulator app, enter "reboot recovery"
pretty big fails on the trying front.
I've managed to buy a MTCE deck that has neither buttons or SD card slot with which to install malaysk rom the prescribed way.
Has anyone had luck with a pure download -> flash approach? If so, any instructions online?

I believe it must update from usb-flash drive.
Volume up/down codes for your MTCE: 273 and 281.
You can now use Tasker to draw your own Up/Down arrows and set the shell commands for them (w/root).
Or you can use any usb keyboard or other usb-hid device and set the volume commands for buttons you wish.

Volume control workaround on buttonless HU
Hi this should help you which I posted on Car Launcher thread.
Seems we have the same HU except mine was sold by XTRONS.
Like many of you on this forum, I love the simple efficient GUI of Car Launcher AG, amazing work from the developer ! yet I have come to the frustration of volume control on bare HU like mine : PE88CMPL from XTRONS which has absolutely zero buttons at all.
So I went on eBay and bought "Car steering wheel remote control buttons wireless android gps navigation", connected it to Key 1/Key 2, Ground and acc 12V.
Programmed the buttons to volume up down mute and other useful functions such as back/home/gps/answer call/hang up and shutdown.
These setups are in the Car Steering Wheel area in settings.
Those buttons are super small and come with a 3M double face on the back and can be properly installed on the console at arm/finger reach.
I saws that JOYING sells a larger one that fits in cups holder "JOYING SWC Steering Wheel Controller for Android Universal Car GPS Stereo Radio" if you prefer that design.
Enjoy
Hello, i now that issue isn't from this thread but i need some help for use an usb knob that dont make nothing on a MCU of Spreadtrum SC9853I.
This multimedia knob change only the sound level of notifications. It's possible to make it work on MCU.

you're in the wrong forum, suggest searching for "SC9853I" and ask the question of the knowledgeable joying people.
Hi. Sorry for my google english.
I have -Px6 DSP 9 " MTEC_CHS buttonless with Android Pie- and I couldn't find (if any) a "Knobby volume control style" apk for volume control. I can't put a link from Google Play.
The idea is to touch the screen with 3 fingers (anywhere on the screen) and rotate your wrist to bring up the volume control and increase or decrease the volume. Like a home amp. Do you know of any MTCE that has it since I suppose it should be integrated into the MCU or some apk ?.
Thank you all
I have a 2012 Mercedes GL350 with a MTCD PX5 head unit running Hal9 version 3. My steering wheel controls work for the standard phone answer, hangup, and music forward and back - but my steering wheel controls have a button that was used as a "wake" for the old head unit to listen to verbal commands. Currently this button does nothing with the new head unit. I am wondering if I can somehow set this to activate the google assistant to listen for commands. Currently if I try to use the "Hey Google" or "OK Google" voice commands both my phone and the head unit respond. I'd like to change the car head unit to activate on this steering wheel control instead.
Anyone have luck with something like this?
Similar issue here (Mercedes w164). I opened a thread for the can bus where you can participate.
Using the Hal9k ROM and set the option to display the steering wheel codes this button sends nothing. Therefore i assume it is related with the Canbus adapter .
