Does anyone else use their Lumia 900 with their bluetooth-enabled car stereo?
Normally when I get in the car my phone should auto-detect and auto-connect to my car stereo via Bluetooth - but I find that it's not happening with my Lumia 900.
Anyone else seeing this issue or do I have a defective device? I never had this issue with my Focus or Titan.
I have not had a chance to use it with a car stereo, but I have had problems with connecting just a simple Bluetooth ear piece. Every now and then it will disconnect from the ear piece and I cannot get the Bluetooth to turn back on without rebooting the phone. I never had to do that with either my Focus S or Focus, although I still had the same disconnect from ear piece problem however, it would just reconnect itself rather than me having to check to make sure that the Bluetooth is on.
I do not have problems with this device and my in-car bluetooth, surprisingly. I say "surprisingly" because my car seems to be a bit temperamental in the same way that you describe in your post, with multiple phones. Had issues with the SGSII, the Surround on 7720 and on ansar's 8107 build, as well as previous phones.
Remarkably, the Nokia has auto connected every time so far.
But are you talking about streaming audio over BT, or just the voice services?
I haven't had any problems with my 900 connecting to my car. It connects and starts playing automatically.
I've noticed sound from video plays over bluetooth where with my Focus it would just play on the phone. Only problem with that is my car buffers the audio so it lags behind what you see on the screen.

Interesting. I was under the assumption that Win7 didn't allow audio from videos over bluetooth because I tried it on my focus and netflix and didn't get anything.
Hey thanks for all the input guys!
It seems to be a little flaky. Sometimes it auto-connects, and sometimes it doesn't. The good news is that it seems to be connecting more often than not.. so I can live with it now. I wonder if there's an underlying bug here..
Mine has actually been pretty solid on Bluetooth. My Jawbone Jambox, which I constantly had to fight to connect to my GNex, connects instantly every time.
Mine connects without any problem. Once I start the car engine, the phone picks it up quickly.

Same here. And can play audio from videos. Or at least youtube.
Seems a little slower for me connecting than my Samsung Focus, but once it connects, it seems to be fine.
Late arriver to this thread - I just got my Lumia 900 on Sunday.
It paired fine with my car's audio system (2011 Subaru Impreza, stock stereo), but has never once auto-connected when I start up the car.
If I'm thinking about it when I'm starting the car (not a safe bet in the morning, when I'm not thinking about ANYTHING), I can go to Settings\Bluetooth and tap on the car's entry in the Devices list - if I do that while the sound system is still searching for Bluetooth devices (about a 5-7 second window), then it connects; if I miss that window, then I have to go into the car's awkward menu system, tell it to search for my phone, and tap the phone's list item while it's doing so. And I have to do this every time I start the car, even though it's clearly NOT MY JOB...
I've seen others with this problem in various fora, and they were able to "fix" the issue by swapping out the phone for a new one that didn't do this. But I've also seen reports (even in this thread) from people saying it happened intermittently, or happened for a while and then "got better," which is something that neither hardware nor software problems usually do on their own.
Working on isolating the problem further, but I'll probably just end up swapping out the phone.
Other than that, I really like the Lumia. Gorgeous screen, just enough bigger than my Focus to make the experience pleasanter, but not so much as to feel chunky in my pocket.

Curious? Are any other phones paired with your car. There is probably a limit of 2 or 3 to auto connect.

It generally works fine with my Nissan Maxima 2010 (better than Samsung Focus or Focus S).
I have observed 3 problems:
- The car defaults to auto download the address book. If this is large, it can take 1-2 minutes before the phone truly connects. Turning off autodownload fixes this!
- Streaming music or podcasts will sometimes stutter, depending on the power state (charging, screen on or off), but clears up after 10 seconds.
- Sometimes the podcast/song info doesn't display on the screen - only play and pause. Most of the time it will show the track name and other controls on my heads up car display.

Hmmmm more or less same issues I'm experiencing with my Nissan Note 2011 - I noticed that if I play a track on my Lumia 900, pause it and then connect it to my car (via BT of course) - it will show the track details correctly.
If no track is playing and I connect it to the car and start playing any track - it won't show the track details. Other than that it works just fine and connects to my car even faster than the Nokia N85 I used to have...
I don't really mind about that displaying track details as I usually just connect to an internet radio station (thank you, TuneIn!) and listen to live streaming music (thank you, unlimited data plan! ) so that usually don't really have any details to show in the first place...
My lumia will connect to my car's hu ( alpine iva-w505 with kce-400bt) but will not sync my contacts over. My titan and quantum did...

Nope - I've deleted my old phone's pairing. This morning, I deleted this phone's pairing and tried out a friend's Lumia 900 - same issue. (I was able to do the initial pairing, but the phone wouldn't auto-connect to the stereo after either one was restarted.

Hm. My "Nope" should have been an "Ummmmm...." instead. Just solved this, I think - though I deleted the *audio* pairing between my old phone and my car, I didn't delete the *phone* pairing, because I didn't realize they were different things, accessed through completely different paths (audio pairing/deleting is done through the stereo controls and cryptic menus - phone pairing is done through annoying voice commands).
Now that I've *truly* removed all traces of my old phone and paired with my new one, auto-connect works like it used to. No blame for the Lumia here - the car's Bluetooth should have been able to give me *some* kind of hint about what the problem was....

So you all have been able to get audio to play over bluetooth? I have to plug in my aux jack in order to play music through my phone. Maybe its the way I paired it initially? 2012 Chevrolet Malibu.
Hi All,
I have recently experienced an issue where the sound has stopped working (not going through car speakers) when in music, video or navigation app.
This used to work perfectly.
Sound works normally when CD inserted
Sound works normally when using radio app.
Video app plays video - but no sound.
Music app plays the mp3 tracks - but no sound - can see the progress bar moving along (music (mp3) on SD card - 8GB formatted FAT32)
Also have issue with the BlueTooth - connects to phone but seems to be around wrong way - it appears the head unit thinks it is in phone handset mode when it is not - as result can hear people talking through the car speakers but they cannot hear me unless i toggle handset mode, but then people can hear me talking, but i cannot hear them...
I suspect for whatever reason the audio out is being directed to Blue tooth or whatever
Has anyone else come across this issue, and if so is there a solution?

To offer you the best customer service, we will send you the return address for full refund of your order.
I also have a Pumpkin KD-C0224 head unit and it works really great, does way more than you need it to do. (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pumpkin-Capacitive-Multi-touch-Navigation-Multimedia-y/dp/B00OB90SOY/)
1. About the sound issue, perhaps there is something wrong inside of the unit.
2. About the Bluetooth, you can try settings-》backup&reset, then do the “factory data reset to see if it can help.
3.About the "No Signal", I have encountered this issue and Pumpkin sent a video instruction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu8maRNrtlk

Android 4.4.4 Car Unit S07 sound problem
Hi to all,
I have a similar problem. My device is a Universal 2-DIN, Model: S07
Lately I had a problem with sound coming from sd-card. The quality of sound was good enough for some time and few minutes later, the sound coming only from one speaker, then transfered to another speaker then the listening becomes very bad and suddenly comes back very good as in the beggining.
That was in the past because now there is no sound at all.
More specific:
I have sound in Bluetooth, CD-DVD, Radio and the touching clicks (on device).
No sound at all from the device such as NAVI apps, in 2 sd-card slots and 3 USB's (2 back, 1 front). Of course I see video but without sound and the music plays mp3 once more without sound
I have already done the following:
I opened the device, unplug and plug-in again all the ribbon cables. Factory reset in Android 4.4.4, upgrade to 5.1 lollipop with reset to factory settings again, and finaly downgrade back to Android 4.4.4 with reset to factory settings again. The problem is still the same.
Is it damaged ribbon cable ? or other hardware problem ? because I don't think that is a software problem. Any opinion is helpfull.

Hello everyone,
Big thanks to the heavy hitters here that are making these units actually usable!
I received my Dasaita HA5217-V600 two weeks ago and thanks to having previously scoured these forums, I was able to install it, in my 2016 Toyota Corolla, with relative ease. Everything worked better than expected, and I had great bluetooth sound, strong WiFi connections, my door and A/C controls appeared on screen, my SWC all matched and decent FM reception. My bluetooth OBDII adapter is arriving this week so I'll have to report back on that.

My OBDII adapter arrived today and it immediately paired with my HU, and Torque Pro recognized it instantly! I'm thrilled at how easy this was.
For those interested, this is the adapter I purchased:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y6HLRKY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So to recap:
My unit is:
MTCD HA5217-V600
10.2 " PX5 1.6 gHz, Octa-core, 2Gb/32Gb
Malaysk v5 ROM and MCU: MTCE v2.65f
Installed in 2016 Toyota Corolla S (6 speaker audio w/o factory "Entune" navigation system) and Rockford-Fosgate Prime's in both front and back.
SWC = all preprogrammed settings match my OEM settings, although they are unconfigurable.
Bluetooth connections have not yet dropped, volume and clarity are on pair with my previous Pioneer HU
Panel buttons all work and LEDs are configurable
Door and A/C controls all appear on screen.
GPS is fast and seemingly accurate so far. Recognized by every app that has looked for it.
OEM vehicle status listed properly in the 'vehicle' section
Amp/Fader/ViperFX all work as expected
WiFi connections are strong enough for my purpose. I can connect to my home WiFi from inside my garage.
AM/FM Reception and clarity are better than the stock system
Screen is bright and usable and auto-dims with Headlights on
Daylight brightness is a little difficult to see. (Then again I live in Florida and the tropical Sun made even my JVC, and Pioneer HU's difficult to see. Kenwood was the best for this IMHO)
OBDii interfaced paired quickly and easily and has so far stayed connected and recognized by apps
OEM Rear-view camera connects to the system without issue and is much easier to see on a 10" screen. As well as now having several configurable options in the "factory settings"
OEM USB port is recognized as well as the 2 additional USB ports included with the HU.
HOWEVER, the OEM AUX audio port is not usable with this configuration. (or if it is, I haven't figured out how to configure/access it yet)
I do not have a DAB+ or Front Camera, TV tuner/DVR so I do not have any information to share about those.
I tested the A/V in with a portable DVD player and there were no unusual issues there.
Over all I am very happy with this unit and am thrilled that I took the risk investing in it.
One more BIG thanks to everyone here who has helped to make these HU's worth it!
Thanks for the detailed write up. I just ordered mine. Px5 7 inch 2gb ram dasaita. Any tips for a newbie? I've been browsing the forums myself for the past couple of weeks and I'm aware of all the mods and custom ROMs etc. Just asking you if there's maybe any advice you wanna give on how I should proceed with the unit or just generally anything that might help.
Appreciate any reply
I have Dasaita/Hotaudio HA2100-v600 7" device and happy - it works here good!

Hi, I'm a fellow Corolla owner in FL As well!
I just bought a Dasaita PX3 2GB RAM 16GB (Quad core vs your 8 core PX5 due to it being close to $300 flat on an ebay flash sale) and have a question regarding the AUX port, you said the stock USB was retained but not the AUX, is there an aux port on your unit or any way to hook one up?
-Where did you mount the GPS antenna?
-Are you using the stock interface, or have you tried any launchers? I downloaded auto mate and Car Launcher free and so far like Car Launcher's look.
-Anything unusual with your unit?
-Have you tested Waze and Google maps? Do they run stable?
-Does your unit pickup your wifi automatically when you startup the car?
I appreciate your very detailed post as I'm patiently waiting for mines to arrive within the next week.

I have a question regarding the AUX port, you said the stock USB was retained but not the AUX, is there an aux port on your unit or any way to hook one up?
*Sad to say that I have not yet found a way to use the AUX port, but then again I haven't tried very hard.
-Where did you mount the GPS antenna?
*I mounted mine on the passenger side dashboard, as far right and forward as it would go. It blends right in as far as I am concerned.
-Are you using the stock interface, or have you tried any launchers? I downloaded auto mate and Car Launcher free and so far like Car Launcher's look.
*I Bought Car Launcher Pro. By far the best overall. It has been steadily updated, has a great look/feel, easy to modify and the most stable.
-Anything unusual with your unit?
*Nothing that I can think of. I'm still in love with it!
-Have you tested Waze and Google maps? Do they run stable?
*I don't use Google Maps, but I have Waze autostart. I'm dependent upon it now! Lots of threads here about Google Maps not working well.
-Does your unit pickup your wifi automatically when you startup the car?
*as of HA-2.75 it does.
You |may| have to trim a piece or 2 off the bezel to get it to fit perfectly in your dash. I had to cut off 2 tabs on top of my PX5.
Good luck!
I have a similar 9" unit.
Running Malaysk v5 ROM and MTCE v2.71 as the bluetooth for 2.75 didn't work well.
I do have the DAB+ aerial and app and it works ok however mostly I use Google music. I have no problems using Waze or copilot.
What I haven't been able to do is get my reversing camera to show on the screen. I have a wireless version and both halfs have leds that light up when the car is in reverse but no picture regardless of which connection I use.
Also I can't get it to connect to a ELM357 OBD2 dongle.
I've had the unit for 4 months and last week while driving to work the screen went black, the unit was still working it was just the screen. The next time I started the car the screen came back....weird.
Other then this the units ace!

Just to give you a quick update, I received my PX3 unit about a week ago and installed it. At first I encountered one main bug which was that the radio app would go to the background automatically every time I opened it, dasaita sent me the link to the MCU thread and everything updated fixing the issue.
As far as launchers go, I stuck with Car Web Guru for now as it gave the most options on a free basis to experiment with different themes.
The only thing I've noticed is that the backup camera image is a little laggy but nothing to die for.
The only thing I'm still trying to figure out is how to get my wifi hotspot to start automatically (Note 8) when connected to CAR KIT, I tried tasker but it says unable for my device.
I love this HU! and Dasaita on ebay has been very responsive.

Hello I have bought a Dasaita HA2039-S720 for Mitsubishi Outlander 2014. I have the same Issue with my Radio App. Everytime I open it, it goes in background. Kill it with the Task Manager can't stop the Music. I have to reboot the Device. I have MCU Version MTCE_HA_V2.75.1 and ROM px3-userdebug 7.1.2NHG47L eng.hct.20171206.143935 test-keys.
Did a system update realy fix your Problem? I noticed that this happend every time a station is scanned and saved. Delete the Cache and Programm Data from Radio App in the App section fixed the issue but you have no music then but white noise.
I have some Issues with apps in general. Sometimes Apps are crashing and did not load properly and stuck while loading.
My OEM Rear CAM Image is laggy and not very smooth too.
Today I tried to update die Rom with this Version HCT2_px3_7.1(20180206) but it failed. Don't know if it's the right one. The Device found this Image and promptet me to update. After a short loading screen a Faild message appeared on the screen and it showed an options screen. I inserted another SD CARD with the image of the update and choosed "update from SD or USB" but it failed again so I rebooted the system. I choose swipe in the beginning and after a reboot the system was in factory condition.
But can anybody explain me what went wrong and how to properly make a Rom and MCU update.
Thanx
Hey guys I just wanted to become a part of this I just purchased and installed this type radio along with the Bluetooth adapter for the cars computer. Hopefully I will soon get the ATSC digital antenna so I can watch TV when my wife goes in to shop for something that will supposedly: "only take a minute." I have to say the install was incredibly easy. Everything works very well and sounded great connected to my factory system of the 2013 Kia Optima. I did use the radio's subwoofer output and added a 300 watt powered Rockford Fosgate subwoofer. It all sounds amazing together. I attached two photos of the type of radio I purchased (or tried to. Kinda new here).

My Dasaita PX5 4/32 unit (MCU version 2.88) turns completely off in 30 seconds (lowest preset in system settings) after turning the ignition off.
When turning the ignition on the unit is starting up behind the scenes. When you press power it's already half way in the booting process or even done depending on how quick you switch the unit on.
I'd say about 15 seconds to boot up. This is with a DAB+ unit and USB stick attached.
If you want instant on (e.g. when shopping for an hour or doing multiple deliveries), you can play with the different off time presets in the system settings.

If you want instant on (e.g. when shopping for an hour or doing multiple deliveries), you can play with the different off time presets in the system settings.

Awesome. Thanks for this info @TBM2
How good is the microphone performance? I have an old android headunit that I could never get mics to work properly on. Voice calls and "Okay Google" is important for me when I upgrade.

It's an MTCD - they're pretty much all the same.
For best peformance on this platform, use an external mic, which may require the internal disconnected.

Sorry, I'm just curious as I just got one for my car installed... but the internal microphone performance is horrible. The box came w/ an external microphone, but is there something i need to do to disable the internal microphone?

I would like to know the boot time for this Android 8 version? I am looking at getting one for my Chevy Cruze but the boot time is a big thing for me.

Like any MTCD unit, first boot is approx 15-20 secs, with the unit sleeping thereafter resulting in 'instant' resume.

Anyone else having issues with connecting the 7T to their car and getting audio going out of it? My OG Pixel didn't have a problem, but I have to toggle off/toggle on Bluetooth and then manually tap the car's bluetooth listing to get it to actually 'connect' the audio portion.
Rather annoying, considering I'm only in the car for a few minutes at a time, this either eats into the time entirely, or makes me sit in my car for a couple minutes before even driving to fiddle with the bluetooth settings.
Car has stock headunit, 2015 Evo X. Like I said, original Pixel XL had no issues, but this is annoying. I've tried changing bluetooth versions to no avail. I can see it connecting and dropping the bluetooth connection fairly frequently while staring at it and trying to 'get it going'. But once it connects, it stays there.
My bluetooth headphones (Some knock off cheap Chinese ones for $20) don't seem to have an issue.
My connection to my aftermarket stereo is fine. Just seems a little quieter than my last phone. Connecting is kind of slow too when I start my car but it is automatic.
I don't have any issues with connecting to all 3 cars (2014 Honda Accord, 2009 Pontiac G8 Gt and a 2018 Honda Fit) but I do agree that the volume seems a little lower than my previous phone (Galaxy S8).

Hmm. Weird. Is there anyway I can check for logs to find out what exactly is happening? I haven't rooted, just don't know if it's something I can naturally pull from Android as a whole.
I had the same issue, but when I made the phone discoverable and initiated bt from the car stereo it seemed to work.
I also set a custom pin , not the default 0000
My bluetooth is quiet, but its also static-y. I never had any issues with my G6 and now I get static clipping every 10 or so seconds. Its unbearable.

I'm not really having an issue pairing it, but it's just connecting after pairing is the problem.
I have changed the default pin. I can see it popping up and down the car stereo a few times in the bluetooth settings before it just gives up.
As for the other issues, I'm not having a problem at all with audio volume, nor popping/static when it finally does connect.
My volume is super low when connected to Android Auto and streaming music. Have to turn the radio up to max. However, I'm assuming that's an AA issue or Android issue, as it seems many others are having the same problem with different phones. Been thinking of adding an aftermarket amp to the car. Maybe I should pull the trigger. Lol

My OnePlus 7t connects fine and phone works for calls on 2014 cts. The sound comes out of phone can change song on head unit but I can't get audio to play through car. Anyone else get this?
Yeah music stutters with car player... Only calls work. Music works on headphones etc. I couldn't find solution, did network reset, cleared cache. Nothing works.
Seriously!
I've wasted at least two hours already trying all the recommended steps: from flicking icons on and off to a full phone reset.
Still no connection to my Suzuki S-cross car. Multiple previous phones have connected effortlessly.
Even the $50 temporary five year old borrowed phone could handle it.
Anyone got any other suggestions? Yes, tried the AVRCP setting change from 1.4 to 1.6. That didn't work either...
Barebones system reset from scratch running O2 OS 10.0.6HD65AA
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
I need to be able to talk and drive!
Reset the car radio and clear all pairing data if you can. Then try again.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Tried that.
Tried one other car - no problems.
Tried a tablet and a very old phone with the car and suprise - the car's bluetooth seems to be the problem.
I will try and find out if I can fix the car!
UPDATE: Morale of the story - read the car manual very very carefully and go though each tedious step = SUCCESS

Yep most have lots of tedious steps that are different model to model and if not followed exactly will cause this problem on occasion..
In my case music starts to be scrambled after 10 minutes or so of listening. When I take the phone (so the watch pops up) or turn on the screen it immediately works fine again, but when being put aside and the screen turns off, the issue starts again ..
Also in the early days of my previous 5t I had the same issues but some fix was delivered together with oxygen os update. And now the same story again
I have a different issue with Bluetooth:
- OP7T connects to car Bluetooth fine
- I can make/answer calls
- Bluetooth media works fine
The problem is with Google Assistant & car audio:
- it was working as intended until the latest update - 10.0.15 - I was pressing the button on the steering wheel the google assistant was answering questions through the car bluetooth, no need to switch to bluetooth media.
- after the latest update, when I press the button on the steering wheel, Google assistant pops on the phone , starts to answer question, but cuts off after 5 seconds. the command still goes through and Assistant still runs, but does not come up on the car audio.
- it looks like the Assistant is not connecting to the car as a hands free, but as to a bluetooth handsets.
Anyone experiencing this?
I recently installed a Xtrons PQS90MTVL head unit in a skoda superb. I have a couple of questions on how to get it to work correctly when navigating.
1) It seems that you can set the navigation sounds to be a percentage of the radio volume but cannot set it to play at a given volume regardless. The problem is that the radio seems to be constantly on and there is no way to turn it off. The 'on/off' button simply mutes the radio - and the navigation sounds.
Often I am in an area where I cannot pick up a decent radio signal on the programme I want and just get static. In these situations I want to turn the radio off but still hear navigation sounds. I don't want to listen to loud static just so I can have the nav sounds play at a percentage of that static. Is there a way to turn the radio off but still get navigation sounds? (a workaround I have found is to play a media file instead of the radio and then pause playback. The nav sounds are then still a percentage of the - non existent - playback volume. However this should not be necessary)
2) It also seems that a Internet connection is needed for any navigation. even google maps won't do a search without it as it says I am offline. (is this true?)
I have bought the 4G wifi dongle but have a question about its use. Does the HU connect to the dongle, as far as data is concerned, via the USB socket that comes out of the back of the unit or is that socket simply powering the dongle and the HUI is actually connecting to it over wifi using the dongle as a hotspot? If so then I don't have to use the wired usb socket from the unit (which I suspect is underpowered) and can plug the dongle into an ordinary 2A USB socket that I have in the car, positioning the dongle near the roof for a better signal
Incidentally I did try using Android Auto with my phone using wired connection. That seems sort of OK but is not very reliable. Often when starting the car it hangs at the 'connected' screen, or even at the 'trying to connect' screen, although other times it seems OK
3) There is a small socket on the left hand side of the HU that looks like a slot for a small memory card or a sim card. It is labelled 'GPS'. What is that socket used for? it is not mentioned in the manual as far as I can see. - The manual is generally a bit hand waving though, excitedly telling you what you can do but not how to do it.
(I did try the xtrons forum but not only are the last posts there around January 2022 but there seems to be no way to register for it. Hence posting here)

All I know is the model is Xtrons PQS90MTVL so maybe its MTVL (whatever that is) I'm afraid I don't know what mcu means so cannot offer any version for it. Its possible I have posted this in the wrong section and have rep[osted in 'Android Head-Units'. If that is the right place and this is the wrong place, please can you delete this post
