Canbus steering wheel control buttons for media next/prev - MTCD Android Head Units General

Guys i have a MTCD Malaysk 8.0 (i think HA alhough i've crossflashed a few times so forgot exactly) and i have a raise canbus for my golf, how can i make my golf steering wheel buttons work in headunit, spotify etc, they work in the stock BT app, the keycodes according to MTCD tools is 300/299 but even when settings them to media_next/media_prev it doesn't work.

mtcd tools or rk3188 app from the play store.

I'm having the same problem, I can turn the volume up and down. My unit has android auto, it's really annoying I can't skip tracks with my steering wheel controls. I'm not sure what am I supposed to do with the apps someone commented above. Were you able to fix this?

Me too. I'm a premium member of Spotify but end up using my lame stock music because of this problem.

How does steering controls works?

Hi,
I have a MTCE / PX5 with a raise , ford focus 2012 canbus decoder. Steering controls work (vol up/dw next/prev/play/pause ONLY) BUT how come I can't see anything in wheelkey study app? I would like to rebind some of my steering controls but the app don't see anything.
I have so many controls on my steering wheel I would like to bind but I can't!
Please someone have an idea what's wrong?
Thanks!
Laurent
I’ve wondered the same, I believe you need to use the mtcde app to make changes to already default binded buttons but not worked out how to unbind one first.

My understanding (although haven't tested it yet) is that you need to connect the cables Key-1 and Key-2 directly to your steering wheel if you want to use the default learning function. This is assuming Ford Focus uses resistive bridges for steering wheel keys (Mazda does). You'll have to get & check a Wiring Diagram specific to your car to find the right cables. Also, Key 2 is NOT ground, you have 2 cables because sometimes the steering wheel controls go to different devices (in Mazda 3, the Vol +/-, Next and Mode go to the stereo, while the Push-to-talk, Hang-up / Hang-down go to the Bluetooth controller)
Hope this helps
Having said this, maybe you're better of by testing first XPosed, an app that allows you to change the functions of the keys. But you'll have to root your device. Malaysk has a SW release for PX5 already rooted and with XPOSED pre-installed. But most probably XPOSED will only let you change the functions of the keys that are already working, not to solve the issues with the ones that are not

I have the same problem on a Ford Kuga. Did you find a solution ?
Maybe the canbus configuration in the "settings" menu (the password protected menu) ?

The wheelkey study app is for non-canbus only.
The steering wheel keys are controlled by the canbus decoder for some vehicles. So that you can not program them.

Good response, but I think this thread went to crickets weeks ago.

Helpful -- thank you. Same issue here with a 2014 VW Beetle and an Eonon GA9153A (MTCE_HT_V2.84_1). At least now I understand why the wheelkey app doesn't recognize any steering wheel buttons. Bad software design -- the app should really show a message explaining this better

Steering wheel control issue

Hello
I am having problem with controlling the steering wheel control to next/pervious the song.
The radio and the music of the rom is working fine but when using other apps like Spotify, YouTube playlist... Etc is not working I have to do it on screen. Is there anything I can do in settings?
Btw Iam using 4.4.4 malaysk rom rk3066.
Hello! Were you able to fix the problem? I have a similar issue with my car, when I go to Spotify and start playing a song, I can go to the prev/next track but as soon as I leave the app, I can no longer go to the prev/next track. I can do it from the notification but not from the steering wheel or the controls on the face of the headunit. Also, whenever I try to skip a song from any of the buttons, I also lose control of the volume. So, I'd love to know how you fixed it if you have fixed it.

Being an mtcb, since posted in mtcb forum, suggest time to buy a newer unit to update your old mtcb unit, such as a FYT based unit uis7862

I see. Upon further testing my problem seems to be android related. I can't skip songs if I don't have the app open on screen. Had this with one of my previous phones too and it fixed itself one day. We shall see.

Problem with MTCE PX5 head unit related to steering wheel keys

Dear community,
I'm kind of lost since I get no support from Erisin about this (no response)
I have a BMW E46 from 2002 and the Erisin head unit.
MCU version is stock px5 MTCE (px5-userdebug 8.0.0. OPR5.170623.007 eng.hct.20180417.101726 test-keys)
I liked the idea of controlling the head unit volume by steering wheel.
Therefore I wired and installed the steering wheel buttons to my car.
The ACC works fine and in general I can control the head unit by the buttons.
Change Volume, Skip a song and so on...
Buuuut very often the head unit goes crazy or the control gets lost over the steering wheel buttons. (I am not able to drive over 30 minutes without having this error)
It seems like the head unit receives some ghost commands and volume goes up to max or I have random song skips. Sometimes it simply doesn't react on buttons.
Of couse this is not usable at all, therefore I disconnected the whole buttons.
For example you see a ghost volume up at 0:27
https://youtu.be/h5rCFSF8pew
Or here there is no reaction on volume up (please excuse my loud breathing)
https://youtu.be/e53De2HQJfY
Key study menu doesn't work at all:
https://youtu.be/Z0wzJsiScSI
Here is magic volume up (you will also see a handsome gangster guy)
https://youtu.be/ZPDQMeU4CNU
I have no clue how to debug or what I can do.
Any hints from the experts?

You should go Settings/Steering wheel keys to program the SWC, but not go to panel keys study.
I think the key menu doesnt matter. Actually the Buttons work as expected. But it gets out of control very often (random skips, volume up and so on). I also saw a key menu where I See the logs of key press. The head unit seem to actually receive the ghost key strokes repeatedly.
Have you tried entering at the factory menu and changing the car model at canbus menu?
You have a full menu for the keys where to change configurations.

Steering wheel keys not working on Spotify AA

Hi all!
I've recently got a Seicane HU, specifically this one, with a quad core ARM Cortex-A35. I've used the steering wheel control app to learn all the buttons necessary. They all work work great with the radio and the BT music player. The only issue is that the next and previous track buttons on my steering wheel do not work when using Spotify while connected to Multiplay (Android Auto). I tried searching for a solution but only found that Spotify had an issues awhile back but it was fixed in an update.
Any possible leads?
Cheers,
Zajuuu
