Autoradio chinese with MTCSync to Ford Focus - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

Hi,
i buy this car radio to install in my ford focus.
Problems i found :
1 - the engine just stops when i open the door and not like usually when i press stop button.
2 - There are a application called SYNC and looks great. i think perhaps have the same functions of original ford sync. Found two problems:
- The languange of functions is in chinese and i want it in portuguese or at minimum in english
- can't hear any sound of calls or bluetooth music of mobile phone
MCU : MTCB-KGL-V2.80
Anybody can help me or have a problem like that.
Thanks in advance

Bluetooth Audio : Help wanted

Hi everyone.
I'm from France, homeland of few bluetooth audio devices makers
And I'm a bluetooth fan since a kind of long time (started with a T39m and the very first bluetooth haedset by Sony-Ericson -About 15 cm long-).
Today I own a Kaiser (TyTn II) and I really love its features, including bluetooth connections.
I use it with a small vibrating hadset with screen for phone calls, a Motorola HT820 AD2P headset and a Parrot Party mini Boombox.
I'd like to know if anyone could help me with this third part :
It's pretty painfull to connect the phone/audio app to the parrot Party : on the opposite of the Motorolla A2DP headset, it does not autoconnect to the phone.
I need to go to Comm-manager,/bluetooth parameters/"right-click" on the Parrot party and select "use as audio headphone" every time.
Does someone know about a hack or app that would ease the choice of the sound output accessory ? Or would any dev have enouygh skills to help coding such an app ?
Thanks for reading me so long and appologises for the poor english of a litle frenchy
Yeah, I'd like that too... *bump*

is my P3300 actually A2DP compatible?

Heya,
for a long time i have been looking for some decent bluetooth stereo headset.
now it has come down to two models. well, actually one only
my choice: motorola s9
and the second possibility: Motorola T820
from reading the comments on amazon on those devices i realize that my phone needs to be A2DP compatible to get the best sound out of the headset.
i use s2p as music player and i know it is A2DP compatible... but is real question is: is my phone (HTC P3300 WM6) compatible with this tecnology
also: if you can suggest any other good headsets, please do so.
key features i seek:
- able to use on my phone and pc
- a2dp
- good sound and microphone quality
a2dp not working
Hi,
I have HTC artemis. I recently purchased wireless bluetooth stereo headsets (Jabra bt325)
I cannot connect it to use as wireless stereo. Its working fine as handsfree. After pairing, I cannot see wireless stereo option. Its Greyed. I know that artemis is A2DP compatible.
But i am sure that headset is fine because I tested it with n95 and it worked fine.
Please give me a solution.
Try this:
Start - settings - connections - bluetooth - and add new device
If your headset is already added, use your stylus and press on the bluetooth headset name until the following menu comes up:
Edit
Delete
Set as Hands-free
Set as Wireless Stereo
Choose no. 4
yes it is.
I'm using Dopod M700 which is the P3300 w/o the GPS module.
It works with dell BH200 BT stereo headset and also the o2 BT stereo earphones.
It works on joint stereo in WM5 and since its now running WM6.1 its real stereo.
Dell BH200
Hi thanks for the suggestion even after setting the Bluetoot head set as "set as Handsfree" it did not work, as soon as I receive or make a call the head set goes off, looks like its some compatibility with A2DP not sure, if some one has done some development or found a patch to make this work would be a great help

might be a specific problem of your headset model.
i use a motorola s9 and it's quite nice. fits nice, does not disturb after hours, controls work fine, calling works fine...
BUT (and there's always a but) it has some major drawbacks i found out. while it's still nice to listen music without wires, i encounter this problems. which MIGHT be due the phone, not the headset... but i have no way to test that.
so, basicly, P3300 + motorola S9 through A2DP:
- insides works like a charm. phone in my belt, headset on. music cuality nice with some small music interrupts every now and then (maybe once per 5 minutes). phone calls nice and i can hear and they can listen me well.
but my oh my when i get on the street...
- constant music interrupts every 15 seconds. i have hang the phone around my neck so it's where my chest is to not get interrupts so often (still get one every 2-3 minutes)
- as the mic is where the ear is, if i have a call, it's impossible to hear me due the background noise. this also applies to the underground/metro. it's not that bad in a bus
and well. without A2DP enabled my music player uses so little resources the phone still works fine...
if A2DP is enabled, the phone gets REAL slow and the battery drain is MASSIVE.
when this motorola S9 break... i'll get another model to test. and when that breaks i'll probably get back to some nice wired ones (unless the CPU issues and the battery drain on the phone gets solved) ... but maybe i actually change the phone before that happens. who knows.

Bluetooth audio router software that works on HTC Touch Pro 2

Hello all,
I have a new HTC Touch Pro 2 (Raphael) and I have spent the last 2 house trying to get the system audio and mic (not phone audio) to route to my bluetooth headset or bluetooth audio in my car hands free and I can't seam to get any working..
This is what I have tried:-
Bluemusic V2
audioroute V1.2.020 (via XDA developers) - this works great allowing system audio to go through the phone speaker but no bluetooth function.
Sound Destination Gotlandh (via XDA developers) - works on old HTC Hermes but not HTC Touch Pro 2. - also needs headset button to set route audio but no button on car handsfree.
BTaudio (via XDA developers) - BTAudioOff.exe BTAudioOn.exe files - this would be great but I get an error when try to run - Failed to enable BT audio.
Surely with this latest phone I can use Skype/an SIP VOIP application/media player with the bluetooth headset - anyone got it working?
Thank you
Which phone do you have? The Raphael isn't the TP2. The TP2 is the Rhodium found here.
Opps,
thanks mindfrost82 - I made a mistake, it is a HTC touch pro 2 - please can a moderator move this to the Rhodium forum?
I have the same desire - I use this regularly and it appears that the WIDCOMM stack is sufficiently different that the existing little program (BTAudioOn/Off and BTAudioToggle) no longer work.
Blargh - anyone have a solution?
THERE IS! Its built in - go to the Bluetooth config screen, go to SETTINGS/Advanced, and in there under "Audio" is an option to route system sounds to the handsfree.
DONE!
Note that it has a side effect - it leaves the connection open forever if there's an audio stream available to it, so be cautious or you can drain the hell out of your battery, plus you won't ring normally (it will ring through to the headset) until you turn it off.
Hahaha - I discovered this today as well by accident!
Well done Genesis3!
I have tried the bluetooth headset with Skype and SJphone VOIP application and the bluetooth headsets speaker and mic work, the only strange thing is for some reason the bluetooths mic sound is speeded up the other end when heard on both Skype, Fring and SJphone, it sounds like I have inhaled a helium baloon!!
As soon as I disable bluetooth headset and speak with the speakerphone, the sound heard the other end is normal again.
Any Ideas anyone?
I have tried many bluetooth audio router software to get this far and I wonder if some registry settings are messed up. (the standard bluetooth connection to a normal phone call is fine)
Same thing here. Cant use skype through my bluetooth. Audio is routed to rer speaker

I just wanted to say Thank You! I've been going around in circles trying different btaudio this btaudio that to find a working solution and was even willing to pay 30 bucks for a program that would do it! Suffice to say, this worked perfectly with mortplayer and the audio stream I wanted to monitor.
Audio thru Bluetooth
Sure this works but isn't there a quick button (hopefully from the taskbar) that can accomplish this without going thru the 6 screens to get this done? Something similiar to Audioroute that would work on a Touch Pro 2 would be ideal..

FOrd Focus SYNC

Hi,
anybody here have a Ford Focus working fine using the SYNC application to works with the FORD original SYNC.
I insert a new ROm from here ( update_4_4_4_1024X600_RK3188_11_MAL_25_12_2015) but the SYNC still all in chinese and i dont know how to change it to portuguese or english
I also dont hear nothing. Perhaps the application is directed to another sound output ...
Any help is apreciated.
Kind Regards
Franc
I am having the same issue!
I have a Ford Focus and a KLD RK3066 unit. I've updated my HU many times, using more than 5 different firmwares and every time the SYNC app is MUTED. There must be something wrong with the sound output, as mentioned!!
NOTE FOR NON FORD OWNERS: SYNC is a hardware (that is controlled by the HU in an app with the same name) that comes with the car that controls native bluetooth calling and music playing. It can be used together with the HU, using the car's much better microphone and USB connector. Losing this function is really bad for a Ford owner.
Please some help!
Thanks

You can ask the seller if the HU can support the SYNC.

It does actually! There's even an app that comes in the Android called SYNC, which displays all SYNC information (and it works, but sadly somehow is muted and i can't figure out how to fix it's sound)

hi, Im also a ford focus owner and i have rk3188 HU (KGL5) you should check in the factory settings the CANbus option. My sync apk works great (spanish) and sounds a little bit lower than the HU sound, so try to max the vol (maybe it is, sometimes if im at level 9 sound i cant hear it, i usually place at 20 vol level). I´ve used some malaksys ROM and i had no problem, and today i upgraded the MCU and still works. Now im having some FC but i think with a factory reset it will solve. The app also works with steering wheel controls, (if a press the SYNC key in it calls the app)
Hi, i have a Erisin ES2301F (1024x600 Rk3188 KGL) with a Ford Kuga MK1 (2009). CanBus module HW 1.0 FW 2.0. In Factory Menu (126) i put Focus-Modeo-Explorer (Simple) but SYNC doesn't work. How can i made it doing something...
In the past i had a Sony CD6000 BT, and i removed only the head unit ( i leave the BT module connected and it seem still powered) but the SYNC app doesn't do anything. I connect the cell with BT of the headunit, or i have to do a new search? I don't see any BT source than the one of the Erisin.
Add:
The question is: maybe with another ROM, i could view which door is opened, what temperature i have set in the climatronic and so on? I'm sure those signals are on canbus of my car (Kuga Titanium) 'cause i read on the cluster of the display of the car, and i see some chinese radio that showing those info. One for all is the Joying.
If those info will pass on the radio, also SYNC should works, 'cause in the electric diagram original mic and original BT are on canbus, all connected directly to GEM.
So, OR the decode module don't works..... or the MCU is so different that doesn't capture those signal.
Someone have the answer?
I have a Ford Escape but I have not figured out how to wire in my canbus to this radio (I have a joying). Can someone point me to the right direction?

Hi,
first, try to set Ford Focus Raise in factory canbus setting.
second, check if you have connected AUX L and AUX R cinches to corresponding ones (auxL to Aux L and aux R to aux R) in your harness.
I have so in my Focus and SYNC is ok, but the layout and maintenance of the app is horrible.

What are the AUXL and AUX R cinches?? In the quadlock Ford , i have CAN L e CAN H connected to Quadlock of the radio, then they go to decoder box and returned on the radio into the special connector.
in my case - as in uploaded photo, nr 2, white and red chinches
In my case is total differenti. I have only the quadlock . all signals coming from there. No RCA chinches. Maybe you have a focus 3 (2012+). My canbus decoder has only one connector
I think my Escape (2011) with SYNC isn't supported at all. I cant find any wiring harness that works with Joying. I know where my Canbus wires are and could splice them in but I can't even find a generic canbus joying harness.

Android car head unit GPS voice problem

Hi Everyone!
I bought a cihnese head unit recently and all is working so far, but the navigation voice is controlled with the system sound settings, so if I turn de wolume down I also turn down the volume of the gps and I can not hear the voice of the lady / gentleman who tells me which way sould I go. I serached a lot, and found some very old (six years) solutions and new ones, but none of them work. I tried to volume up when the gps is speaking, I tried to switch Sygic to bluetooth then turn up the bt volume at the units factory settings. So as far as I know the gps navi sound and my system sound (which controlls the music loudness) is bind together and sadly the gps volume is too low. Maybe I missing something. I think this is an importatn feature, but my headunit does not have that. Can you guys give some new advices? It is an octacore android 8.0 if this matters.
Thank you in advance!
I have the same issue... Like Heptameron, I did not find any solution ! Can anyone help us with some advice?
Thanks !
Nobody ???
Same here, can't separate the two volumes.
Thought I had turned GPS voice up but then blew myself out of the window when I enabled the FM Tuner!
Spent hours on this.
"Latest" Chinese Android 10. head unit and IGO GPS. Not connected to my phone. Want it "simple" for now!
Anybody?
