Hi,
Ik use Malaysk rom (version RK3188) on an seicaneunit in my Mini Cooper R56.
I have some issue's/problems which i cannot solve or get an aswer to...
1.
I want to run the app 'flitsmeister' (a app for traffic info and speed traps warnings). This apps runs in background and popups when it detects traffic or a speed trap, this works OK. But when i start it on boot it stays on top until i press home etc. I would like to start this app on boot and it should run in the background or the home button should be 'pressed' automaticly after a few seconds.
Is there a way to do this in this rom?!
2.
I cannot change the steering buttons control, when i open the menu and press the key to assign it simply performs the default assigned function, i cannot change this in anyway. How can i change the behavour of the steering wheel controls and save this?
3.
Is there a update for a newer android version (5 or 6) for this unit which i can use?
Steerling wheel functionality works through a canbus which most newer cars have. Seicane eonon etc all use canbus.. however thats if your vehicle have one which it should. Problem one.. your missing a canbus..
If you have a canbus 2 issues possible.
Canbus is picky and eah make speaks their own language.. now most chinese aftermarket HU use a multi purpose canbus decoder which your vehicle may not pick up or you have a faulty canbus.
2. Canbus wiring.. now alot of makes run wiring through the oem harness.. depending the hu in the modle of car.. like running a stock crappy system vs an alpine, inifinte, bode system where multipul components talk.. but that then becomes a sound issues differet topic.
The canbus wiring itself could be wrong off the new HU harness you'll have to check seicanes crappy wiring diagram matching to your oem harness. Where the canbus connection is use a multimeter with the car off.., on accessory and started.
Future reference..
Seicane eonon etc have messed up the wiring giving the canbud power even when the car is off.. meaning they ran the power off the battery live wire.. vs just the accessory and on power wire.. draining the battery of your vehicle. Simple fix youll have to just switch the power wire to the correct wire being accessories and on.
At the end of the day you most likely need the canbus for the steering wheel functions to work. Ifcyou have it do soke trouble shooting
Hi fellas!
I have a peugeot where i fitted a custom px5 android radio. Since i have a faulty button on my steering wheel which triggers the "recent apps" function on android randomly i'm trying to disable that command via software. Is it possible? How can i do that?
It's pretty annoying and i'm already looking to change the button, but untill then i have to find a solution to this problem.
I bought one of these Android car computers and I'm not sure which forum this belongs to. I'm in the MTCD forum because I noticed the post about ZLink and in the "Factory Settings" menu of this box there is a ZLink toggle. FWIW the Factory Setting on this unit can be accessed with 0000. My main question is which forum should I be posting to about this box, but the issue I'm looking to solve is that this box is connected to CANBus, but it's not supporting my steering wheel controls. There's an apk on it called CarCanBus.apk, I'm hoping to either modify and repack this, or install a separate CANbus app that can detect my button presses and translate them into keyboard presses.
Hello all
I have searched a lot and couldn't find any relevant information anywhere.
What I wanted was to be able to use the clock and trip computer in my car
(a 2008 Mazda CX7 with Bose audio). When the stock head unit is replaced
you lose the Info and Clock keys so you cannot adjust the time or change
between the various trip computer info.
So by playing around I discovered that you still can perform these actions
by using the steering wheel controls. In specific, if you press the MODE button
for 2-3 sec you enter the settings mode. There by pressing the UP arrow
you emulate the INFO key and by pressing the DOWN arrow you emulate
the CLOCK key. With the above information you can use the clock/trip
computer as before
The above might have application on other Mazda vehicles too that
use the canbus adapter to keep the steering wheel controls. Wouldn't
hurt to try anyway!
Now if only I could find a solution for the fader/balance problem of
the rear speakers (by utilizing the canbus adapter provided) I would be happy!
I made a small video showing the above for anyone that is interested.

Hello guys:
I am not able to setup the control wheel steering buttons for Phone functions ( pick up a call or end a call) on a DASAITA PX6 10.
On settings I selected CAN BUS
I setup the following commands:
- Increase/decrease Volume---OK
- Mode ( to swap between radio, AV, iPod...)---OK
- Next and previous song---OK
but when I setup the phone setting it is configured but on CarPlay doesn't work, I am no able to pick up the phone.
Any help???
Best regards
What does reseller suggest when contacted for support
My understanding is that there are two ways to connect these units to can bus.
One is with the external vehicle specific can bus boxes, which are not really programmable.
The second is with the key1/2 wires which is internal and are programmable through the key study. I have never used this method, so I know nothing about it... but you could try it.
If all else fails, you can try a PAC can bus adapter.

Thanks for your replies.
I can program the keys. But what I am not able to program the phone function to work. I assign the functions to the buttons but it doesn’t do anything.
On the other hand the other buttons programmed (increase/decrease volume) works properly

Did you setup the keys for just the Dasaita in the unit's settings, or have you also setup the keys in the ZLink app?
I had only done the former and had this problem when I first was trying CarPlay with the ZLink app. What you will need to do is open the ZLink App, without connecting your iPhone to the unit (put it in airplane mode, or leave it in the house far away from your car), then go to Settings within the app. There you will see options to assign the steering wheel keys to the various functions you want for your phone. Once it is all set, you will be able to control CarPlay exactly how you want.
Hope this helps!
