Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) For MTCB Head Units

TPMS has beenn mentioned a few times in the original thread, but AFAIK no one has managed to find out how/if any TPMS modules will work. I bought a TPMS module from Klyde, it comes with 4 valve caps and a strange mini USB thing that I assume allows you to plug another mini USB device into the unit at the same time.
Unfortunately I cant get it to work with the built in TPMS app that started appearing in ROMs from June either on my old unit or my new one, I ve tried searching for the device in the BT app and the BT in settings but I get nothing, I m awaiting a response from Klyde.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get it to work then let me know, but its good to see TPMS hardware available for these devices - even if its not working . . yet !

Can you share link from TPMS module?

My brain is stuck what is TPMS? I am sure I should know but i don't get it
Guess youre talking about Tire Pressure Metering Sensor?
would you probably add a hint to your OP and title so others know what you mean? Remeber the non-english-speakers here

Yes this is it (Tire Pressure Metering Sensor).

I simply bought it from Klyde, there was no link, I guess you have to ask them.
It turns out it cant be used with DAB, which is why I cant get it to work - the cable to attach it is the same as the DAB module they sent me.
I m not sure if its BT or maybe NFC or something. I ll report back with results when I get it to to work

Does anybody try this TPMS solution with his HU?

Does the app work in landscape mode?
Can the app start with background mode?
Does the external (valve cap) sensor show accurate value?

I have been using this TPMS system in Volkswagen Polo and my MTCB head unit since 3 months now and couldn't be happier with it.
It activates when you press the button because it invokes the reverse camera display source every time you call it into action.

I have tried these two models purchased at Amazon and they work perfectly. I have them installed on my cars.
The only drawback is that you need Bluetooth 4.0 and HuiFei radio does not have it. I have commissioned an RX USB Bluetooth for Android on Deal Extreme, to see if it works.
So far I'm seeing it in my S5 Galaxy.

Turns out you need a special lead that I wasnt sent orignally, it plugs into one of the sockets on the back of the unit, theyre sending me one, I ll post again when I get it.

Anyone have a idea if this would work with a joying head unit.

Dont know, ask the seller.
But in any case if it works with a Joyous unit it will work with ANY MTCB head unit. There is no such thing as a "Joying" head unit - Joying/CarJoying are simply re-sellers of Shenzhen Joyous head units.

Yes I think.
It looks made specifically for these HUs. So I supposed they tested them.
And screens look like built-in TPMS app that I got preinstaled on my HU (KGL). So I supposed it should work.
But I would preffer ecternal sensors, not ibternal ones. I have 4x4 which reqiires regular tire rotation and ibternal sensors are not suitable as I would need to remove and refit them on every tire rotation.
Is there external versio? I couldnt find it on AlliExpress.

The one I mentioned in my first post has valve mounted sensors and obviously works with MTCB head units

Why? Sure, if they are somehow hard coded to location its sort of funny when they might not match the picture, but you only have 4 tires. Its pretty easy to check them when they are low.
You want internal sensors for TPMS. Less chance for losing them.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cable-Bueto...Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System-/271315933336

I understand the point about tire rotation and internal sensors. Would it be possible to make the same rotation in the app, since all sensors are doing the same thing anyway? Eg. If you rotate your right front to right rear, make the same in the app to correspond with the sensor location?

Yes, mapping is possible. Depends on product.

Hi All,
I have also interest for this. Somebody could give some information ? It works, or any other bluetooth type, using with external attached bluetooth 4.0 dongle ?

Well, I found out most of the connections for the TPMS as Klyde didnt send me a lead - power and ground were easy same as the DAB box, then, as its just a mini usb connection its just data + and data -, I know where the one of those wires goes, and narrowed it down to 2 pins for the other, I ve tried both pins and several versions of the TPMS app, but cant get anything. I ve tried looking for BT devices on my phone I thought I found 1 but my phone wouldnt connect and the headunit's BT wouldnt see it, my phone wouldnt connect and after removing all the batteries on the TPMS it still showed up so it couldnt be that. Totally stumped, just cant get it to work.

TPMS-Type
Let me inform you that for some time I'm trying to find a TPMS system that works well with Android auto MTCB-C I have made several purchases and placements from various vendors I will mention my experience to help future stakeholders.
For GS, KD, and JY machines, the following set works very well:

It has its own very friendly app and it works with automatic start-up in the background and immediately informs if something goes wrong with the tires of the car, I recommend it for the above!
But last time I discovered another type with external valves that works very well with a Klyde machine and that's it:

Thanks for your post - I have the Last type, Klyde themselves supplied me with it, but they did not send me the lead and they did not reply to me when I asked for it, so I had to make one, but I still cannot get it to work, could you post a picture of the lead (the end that plugs into the head unit) so I can see which wires go where (I have seen the picture in your 3rd link before, but I cannot see where all the wires go) ?

Vehicle.apk

Hey guys.
I just discovered that inside the JY Android there is an app called simply "Vehicle". Appears to take out car info via can bus and display it, but only when you start the app. Plus the "settings" tab inside it appears to be inactive. Anyone know where does this app come from? Can't find it on Google Play and it doesn't appear to have any widgets to go with it, though it would be very useful to have some of those informations permanently displayed.

Really.. I haven't seen that..
So you are saying it is actually taped in to the ECU onboard computer and is grabbing information from it directly with out any need of the Bluetooth adapter that others are using?..
If that is the case that opens up a whole range of possibilities..
Not the least the one that is.. If this is running that and you are on the internet, in theory the car unit can be hacked and a third party can take control of it..
Especially in newer cars..
Hum... Interestingly...
I am thinking a little more into this as I run a chipped diesel engine..
We drop a chip into it to boast performance and it is getting plugged into the engine via one of the auto testing ports..
So in theory, if this unit is directly tapped into the ECU we might be able to control this chip via an app... Food for thought..

Yeap, it does grab them, as you say, but as far as I saw, it has nothing but one-way read-only possibilities. And the info appears to be the one that you can normaly access on your mfd, nothing more, except that it's all there in one single column. But for instance, the fuel quantity is displayed in real terms, in liters, the battery voltage is there aswell... and so on. I don't know how accurate the information is, but it would sure be useful to be able to have a widget on the unit's screen, based on that app, to display some or all of that info permanently. However, the fact that the unit grabs info from the car's computer without any OBD, Bluetooth or otherwise, is obvious... how else would it be able to show info like parking sensors, park trajectory, climatronic, an so on if it weren't able to do that. But my guess is that all that info is available though the can bus only, and you can only read it, not tamper with it.

The car is good. Must be the canbus decoder. Either that or it has an old software. Just to make sure... you push "Vehicle" app, then you get a black screen with nothing but Vehicle writing there, you push that... and nothing happens?

It must be the decoder, however, if it's hardware or software issue I dunno. My first unit was as blind as a bat to the canbus, but my new unit came with a newer version of canbus decoder and software (from 1.01 to 1.07) and this one sees everything but the climatronic (odd enough). And you might want to track down the manufacturer for that...

Here's some winter news... the damn app doesn't recognise negative temperatures... outside was -7 (Celsius) and it was showing +6594:laugh::laugh::laugh: I must have landed on the sun's surface:silly:

I have one of these head units based on an RK3188 chip in my mini, and only today realised it was setup wrongly and the canbus type was set to BMW and not MINI.
WHat this means now is that suddenly it's on the CANBUS and my steering wheel volume etc are working as they should.
However...
I deleted the vehicle app when I was playing around with it, can an of you grab the apk and send me a copy of this?? Now I have the CANBUS working (i initialy thought I'd wired it incorrectly) the app should work and gve me fuel levels and MPG etc as the original head unit did.
Any help appreciated, I can't find this APK anywhere on the unit itself, and there doesn't seem to be anything on the play store like this.
Cheers

Well, the use would be in the fact it seems fairly discontinued, but is a useful app.
I downloaded and installed a newer version of the stock firmware, and this app wasn't included. I would like to put it back on, so if anyone can extract it and pass it my way, there's a bit of paypal kudos on the way...

Mine also has the latest update and the app is there. I don't think it's discontinued, just some chinese homebrew that doesn't appear on Gplay.

Thoughts? Erisin 3090A - Single Din, quad core, 4.4, 1024x600

I'm looking to get a single DIN flip screen style head unit. Looks like there are really only 2 quad core options out there:
Eonon GA1312: Seems to be relatively popular Klyde design and shows up under a few other "brand" names. It meets my needs but the basic downsides here being the 800x480 screen and typical lack of an external microphone. From a Youtube walk through it looks like it is a KLD5 MCU.
Erisin 3090A: This looks like an upgraded quad core version of the Erisin 8990A (dual core system). This unit has the upsides of a 1024x600 screen, an external microphone (important given this is going in a loud sports car), options for DAB radio and DVB-T TV (not useful here in the US), and a removable face plate. (I can't post links but the specs are posted at the first google search link for "ES3090A")
Needless to say the Erisin looks like the better on paper, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger. Anyone have any experience, thoughts, or comments on this unit?

I got both.
Eonon GA1312:
Bluetooth is total crap , no one can hear you in a call .
Missing 3g apn setup
unable to change panel leds color, they are blue and blinding.
no detachable front fascia
front usb and front audio in
Simple to root with a password.
Some apps cannot pass the initial screen due to low Res.
Shutdown timer does not work.
It has configurable reserve camera lines
Erisin 3090A
Bluethooth calling is great plus it has an additional external mic.
Device seems to have 2 Bluetooth devices , one for the phone and other for android
Any color you fancy for the panel leds
detachable front fascia
Can only be rooted via king root ( i was able to replace king root with superuser)
missing multitask button.
No front usb or audio in.
Shutdown timer set a 10 seconds, unable to change so far.
Dos not have configurable reserve camera lines ( most cameras come with lines integrated anyway.)
Both units have the same cpu.
Both units DVR are crap,most of the time they ether crash or fail to start.
The Eonon GA1312 has most setting integrated into the android control panel while the other unit has several other apps to change settings.
Also the Eonon GA1312 seems to have slightly better sound out of the box.
Hope it helps

Erisin a3090 a3090aen 3090aen android quadcore
After extensive reseach ,I also considered a couple of options.
I have a supra mk4 1993. It's double din sits quite low, so opted for a single din with fold out display. So i used the upper part of the space..
Also considered the dvb and TV for posible future uses.
Also there is a reverse camera input with reverse sensor contact as well as the expected dvr with the plug and play USB camera.
I tried a couple of USB cameras and the unit crashed or the app crashed, thought it was a pile of cap,* however I read that it has to be the camera supplied by Erisin. After purchase, the camera has been 100% . Dvr loop, 3 ,5 and 10 mins with option to use specific memory, adjustable up to 500mb.
Not tried the reverse camera as yet.
The Bluetooth works well, I have connected the android phone via Bluetooth for music and the torque unit. They work as expected.
However I did find that on occasions, the phone would knock off when I tired to activate the obd2 Bluetooth adaptor. ( got a converter adaptor on ebay £14)
I got around this by connecting the phone first.
I've not yet tried to connect 3 or more devices as yet.
The 4 really annoying thing are,
1. When on a Bluetooth call, you cannot access the android unit. It seems to lock on to the call screen.
2. Fast processor,* my arse.* More like missing a couple of cores. Slower than my galaxy s5. But fast enough for the pleasures it brings.
3. The Google voice app and other voice apps say error when trying to use. "Mic not working", (something like that).
The mic works normal on the phone and the voice memo apps.
The same happened on another new unit.
4. It seems like there is a limited memory for apps. Can't seem to change where they are stored.
I got about 6 apps totaling around 600mb. And it ran out of storage.
Other things like no AM Radio.
The screen only folds up to 90° angle exactly, so if it's low down on the dash, it may be an issue.
No mic on the dvr they provide,* or the app doesn't support it.
The Satnav could do with having the speed cameras info. But It didn't,* it does have the option to warn for it and others, in the settings though.
The WiFi works well if very close to the antenna otherwise seems to go weak very fast when creating a small distance.
I tested it with a new extended wifi antenna, and actually got a slower speed, but that could be a faulty lead!
I actually was able to test 2 units as I wanted to make sure that my initial unit was working as it should.
And it was. So I returned the second unit after extensive comparisons on data speed and app response times etc.
Despite the problems, I am sure I made the correct decision.
Amazing piece of kit considering I'm updating an old double din of 10 year old with satnav etc.
I use it via a "hotspot" , from my phone. Works really well.
Memory locations and availability work well.
Sound is great.
Ended up costing me £215 after I complained about the mic thing.
I'm sure that another app is blocking the mic from working on the Google thing and other voice apps.
Any or update would be really appreciated to help with my issues above.
I hope I have been of some help.

Is this a MTCB unit? Can I install Malaysk ROM on it?

Recommendations for head unit.

I would like some recommendations for a double din head unit. I wanted to have nav, rear view cam support, aux and 4G/WiFi.
I was going to make my own system with a raspberry pi, but after pricing stuff out I'm gonna be looking at a similar price of $200+. So I would rather just buy an android head unit since that's the OS I want to use anyway and it's still not that smooth on a rasperry pi. Although Google is going to offically suport it soon.
Thanks

Check on Crutchfield.com. I've only seen one unit that runs wifi(its alot more the $200), and havent seen one that runs cell band

Check out 'Joying'. You will have it in a few days.
If they have a package for your car then she is plug&play. Many of the units are the same but come with different stuff so the price changes. Some have volume knobs - do get that.
Joying... (can't post links so you have to type in)
carjoying-dot-com
I personally got this setup for my Nissan Frontier truck...
and i now have the 5.1 update hardware to update from kitkat. You might want to ask for the 5.1 models.

Yeah after I have been looking around the joying is probably what I'm gonna go with.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

The unit I got was the 'JY-NQ128'.
If you search for it on the joying site you will see it is set up for Nissan cars/trucks meaning they include plug and play cables for that vehicle so it's working in minutes.
That part number also comes with backup camera, gps stuff, etc. It has a volume knob on the top. Some other packages will have the same unit at a different price but come with say an OBD2 dongle and a volume button in the middle or no buttons or no navigation. Some have a DVD player.
A note about navigation... You have to ask for it. They will then send you a link for the 'IGO' software and maps. You install it on the blank SD card they include. IGO is kinda a standard I think but you can also use Google maps, Here, Waze, whatever you like. In settings you just set the nav button to whatever.
You can buy cables, backup camera, etc from their site if they don't have a package for your car.
I have bad ears so can't be trusted on its ability to play music but seems to work fine. I bought it mostly for its backup camera, navigation and of course the powerful Android system. My calendar is on there, email, etc.
Nice unit 1024x600 screen too.

I have bad ears so can't be trusted on its ability to play music but seems to work fine. I bought it mostly for its backup camera, navigation and of course the powerful Android system. My calendar is on there, email, etc.
Nice unit 1024x600 screen too.

Not sure. I've not researched Android Auto but I suspect it is totally limited (AA).
My unit is full blown Android. You have to be careful here. For example streaming a movie while driving is possible. It is initially shut off in settings but you can turn it on.
The unit is like a Nexus phone. No limitations.

I think the biggest thing im looking for is a nice driving friendly UI, with good navigation. Android auto ticks all my requirements.

How about “Pumpkin”?

Help identifying unit

In my other cars, I have simple 2 DIN Android units which are easily identifiable and I have flashed different ROMS and MCU firmware to those to get the desired interface and features that I needed..
But with the new unit I purchased for my 2003 Mazda 6, I am having trouble working out what type of unit it is.. I have no idea if there are other ROMs available, or different MCU versions. I would like to figure this out, so I can potentially work on fixing some of the little annoyances that this unit has.
The unit was purchased from AliExpress here.
I have attached screenshots of the details in the settings app, and the 'car settings' app also.
Overall, the unit is very responsive, and the software isn't too bad.. but it has a few issues i'd like to attempt to fix.
Any help identifying it, or links to any MCU firmware or Android ROMs for it would be appreciated.
Thanks

The main issue I want to resolve, is the 'cold boot' each time I start the car..
Now, I have noticed that when turning off the car, the stereo backlight is turned off (yet the LCD is still on, and can be seen if there is light from the correct angle, and the touchscreen still works) and the stereo doesnt actually 'shutdown' until around 8-10 seconds later. This leads me to believe that its possible to configure the unit to not shutdown, but instead 'sleep'.
Would I be correct in assuming that the MCU is in control of the unit being sent the shutdown signal? Therefore, I would need a different MCU firmware to be able to achieve my goal?
I've seen lots of different MCU and ROM versions for other units, so surely there is some for this unit also.

I cant help you I m afraid, apart from telling you that they are deffo not MTCB/C or MTCD/E units.

As Typos1 has said, it's not an MTCx unit.
I did find some info here: http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t877165.html
