Did I get scammed? Bought 1024x600 but only running 800x480 - MTCD Android Head Units General

Hello I just bought and installed a head unit from ebay. It is the android 8.0 A53 with 4gb ram. I picked this model because in the ad it says the screen is a 1024x600 resolution. After I installed my head unit and looked it is only running 800x480, Model Px5. I did try and search the issue and see if there is some setting I need to change but didn't find anything so far. Did I get sent a lower resolution model or is there some setting/firmware update I need to unlock the higher resolution?
Thanks, if there is any other information or pictures you need let me know.

[Q] Note 10.1 (2014) and PTV3000, only mirrors part of screen

Hi guys,
Just having a problem mirroring to my ptv3000. Following a couple of suggestions, I bought the PTV3000 to mirror the screen from my note 10.1 (2014). However, I've only been able to get it to mirror a corner of my screen which appears to match with a 1080p resolution. Is there a way for it to mirror the entire screen? I have the latest 2.4.53 firmware, and I have seen some people might have it working pretty well on the forums. Any help appreciated.

In the ptv3000 settings, the closest thing is resize, numbers 0 to 9. I've tried a couple of them, seems to be the same each time. Tried tv aspect ratio settings as well. I don't seem to have any other options to do with mirroring on the note itself. What settings have you got?

IDK never used screen mirroring but I am an electronics engineer and know a few things about LCD TV production as well since my first internship was at VESTEL.
This is a problem with your ptv3000 device. I dig into its specs and it says up to 1080p resolution. Since this tablet has a resolution greater than that it cannot handle the higher resolution. You might need to get another adapter which can handle uhd resolutions.

That may be the case. I just find it frustrating, because there are others on a few forums who say it works great, I just can't find info about my specific problem. I guess I better look for another way.
Same tablet with same device? I m guessing they use another android device which does not have 1600p screen

Your TV is 1080p? What brand? I just barley revived my PTV3000 and works great on my 1080p 60hz insignia and a much older 720p samsung. I too updated my firmware are soon as it arrived. I looked at the ptv3000 settings but never changed them. I also updated the app that handles screen mirroring from the play store.
Edit: I also tried on the lg g3 and g2 (Verizon model) works great. Firmware is the only thing I can think of. Netgear has all their current and past firmwares on their website. I would imagine the newest to be the best but who knows, maybe an older one? (Might be a waste of time to check)
Double edit: try playing only 720p or 1080p content like a movie or something in full screen on your tablet. It's possible that might work. I dunno. Are you stock? Not rooted or anything? I'd imagine if the mirroring worked or didn't work, it should do so ubiquitously.

Well, the posts appear to be in the note 10.1 2014 forums with claims that they use it with the same device, however a point of difference may be that I have chosen to remain on 4.3 stock, and am not rooted. Since I'm not running the latest firmware, its possible I'm missing out on some fixes.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it tonight when I get home. I might also try an older firmware and see if that fixes it. The tv is a 1080p panasonic plasma, maybe 6 years old now.

The oldest tv I tried was at least 6 years old if not close by a year. I do notice the tablet can loose mirror connection when both streaming upwards of 1080p or 720p content and mirroring it simultaneously

Is this an MTCB headunit?

Hi together,
does anybody now that HU:
http://xtrons.co.uk/pf75aa4a-7-andr...nction-obd2-for-audi-a4-s4-rs4-seat-exeo.html
I'm thinking to buy that one instead of a Joying because it has Android 5.1. Can anyone recommend it? Is this an MTCB one and will Malaysk's-ROM work with that one? Couldn't find any useful information about it so far.
Many thanks!
Seems to be an MTCD version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdKcgOxv39s
as you can see on time 0:28
Not speaking only about Android 5.1... but that HU's specs say:
64-Bit Operating System 64-Bit CPU Processor
so it should have a different hardware and software than the current MTCB (and maybe MTCD) HUs with Rockchip 3066/3188 processors which are 32 bit.
Thanks! So their advertising must be wrong. In the video they cleary say it is an rk3188
What would you say? Is this a standard MTCD as any Joying is currently a MTCB? I really like the design but I don't just want to buy anything thats badly supported later by custom roms.
Well, at least from the screenshot it looks like an MTCD head units, so it shouldn't be an MTCB.
BTW, new products advertised specs of these small Chinese manufacturers must always be taken with a bit of caution and before buying it's advisable to ask them for confirmation...

New MTCD Units based on PX5 Platform

Dasaita (HotAudio) has been released the new MTCD series of Headunits based on PX5 Platform:
OctaCore A53
2GB RAM
32GB ROM
Android 6.0.1 MM
DSP is integrated
More information and photos on:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...dasaita-hotaudio-android-6-0-1-ready-t3536790
Manufacturers are moving to this platform and this will be the new standard
Do you think Android board replacement will be an option? I don't own a HotAudio unit but a KD, but the core board design might be compatible right?

On the same thread it has been published the Core Splacement video between PX3 RK3188 board to the New PX5....
I think it is possible even you don't have a HotAudio unit.
I think you should keep your MCU from KD in order physical buttons as well any other stuff from canbus could be working
On universal Units ithe replacement could be performed wiothout any issue.

I don`t know if update or not....
Improved things:
* More powerful and faster Chip
* 2GB RAM
* 32GB ROM
* DSP
MCU is still the same...and it will limit the android part (BT for example) in the same way as RK3188 or INtel Sofia
I think it worths for RK3188 1GB Ram owners, but I own an Intel Sofia with 2GB Ram
Speed: The intel Sofia is fast enough for me... it can handle the apps without noticing lags (where RK3188 get frozen)
DSP: it could be a good addition to improve the sound (that i consider some kind of flat sound now)
32GB ROm: I own 16GB, but with several USB ports...so, for the apps i installed (it is a car device not a phone) is enough for me.
I could perform the update for testing purposes ....
chinglitch said:
Comparing to MTCD RK3188, it is a clear upgrade.
Comparing to MTCD Intel, not so sure.
Comparing to Joying Intel, might be a downgrade (bluetooth).
I.e., chip is faster than RK3188, clearly.
But compared to Intel? Thing is, synthetic benchmarks are useless when crossing to different CPU architecture. After all, even RK3188 has higher Antutu scores than the Intel chip, yet the Intel is *clearly* much more powerful.
A more direct comparison is Nexus 5x, antutu benchmark score about 85000 (more than twice). Nexus 5x is a HEX core 4xA53+2xA57. I don't think that A57 is *that* much stronger than A53 to bring the score up that much higher. So PX5 is still a VERY weak chip. I think that the Intel is a stronger CPU.
And advertising that it has a DSP is silly. DSP is another way to say "sound card". If it didn't have one, then no sound would come out.

Why is a downgrade from Joying?
Joying has the same limitations by MCU than MTCDs
On Intel Sofia at least i can connect to Standard ODB2 by just changing the PIC code for pairing on the Bluetooth MTCD app
Bluetooth on MTCD works...but on both units (Joying and INtel) the Calling can't be done by voice commands (google now)....and sometimes if trying i lose my sound due to the MCU has blocked the sound as it was making call (but doing nothing)
The only thing missing with these head units is a decent screen, 10inches with @ least 1080P res. Its jarring looking at my phone then looking at the 1024X600 res. on the head unit.
Hoping they will sell the Board separately.
Anybody successfully replaced the old core board with a PX5 board? Where to buy?
I'm very interested, because my unit is very laggy and slow :-/

For now it seems no one is selling the core board only.
Waiting for any news here for the board.
Hopefully we'll have some news in a few months.
why does the resolution look horrible in the pics op?

I guess you'll hear a lot more after the Chinese New Year holiday winds up and people go back to work.
Is there any update on this? Also I have been looking around and only can find Android TV boxes with this. Now please excuse my stupidity but is it possible to use the board from one of these?
I messeged hotaudio and they told me tha PX5 core board is 150$ but I sont know if its my unit compatible because I have MTCB not MTCD...
i don't think it would be compatible with MTCB.
I am not even sure if it would be 100% compatible with MTCD.. as the power on ---sleep---resume is a bit different than the PX3 HUs...
e.g the new units as far as i know don't turn off.. (someone correct me if my logic is wrong)

Only can be upgraded from PX· MTCD units (not MTCB or MTCC)
The sleep functionality is written in the ROM and controlled by MCU, so no problem on upgrading from PX3 MTCD
the PX5 Board contains all the Android hardware (EMMC, CPU, GPU, Wireless & RAM). So once changesd you depends on the Rom installed on the new EMMC (which is 6.0 and it does not contain anythinig related to sleep counter)

this is exactly what i mean.. if you install a PX5 board, then you will have incompatible sleep functionality between the board and the MCU..
you will have an old MCU sleep functionality and you will not be able to control it with the new ROM..
Everybody is waiting i guess for someone to try it
Hello.. I am not sure if i am in the right thread but i have a question.
My HU is MTCD HA V2.44 with RK3188 (RockChip PX3).
Can i update it to a RockChip PX5?

Dual window and screen resolution question - Xtrons Car head unit

Afternoon one and all,
What a fantastic forum, so glad a friend pointed me in this direction.
I was hoping someone could possibly help, I have just purchased and am awaiting delivery of an Xtrons TE697P and may have made a bit of an error.
I presumed as the new headunit is running Android 8.0 (Oreo) it would be able to run two windows at the same time like its brother TE706PL (Same specs as TE697P except no DVD Drive and 1024x600 higher resolution screen) but it would appear this function is not possible, could this be because the screen sizes and resolutions are different?
Is it possible to run two windows on a machine with 800x480 resolution and how would I enable this if it is not available from standard?
Thanks in advance,
Pete Macmillan
