To get the reversing camera on when not in reverse use a 2 position switch to connect the ACC wire to the reverse wire on the head unit in one position and normal reverse wire to reverse wire on the head unit. I use this to check on the trailer when towing. I don't have 360 so it may not work on a 360 unit but I cannot see why not.

Thanks! I was thinking along these lines if I couldn't get it to work as is.

Had wanted to use swc to open rather than adding a switch.

Latest 12/2021 Mekede FYT (116) Firmware Update introduces a delayed shutdown feature on Key off - up to 3 minutes.

I recently purchased Navifly UIS7862 FYT - vertical screen Tesla type (model: TS5), surprisingly does not have this "Delayed shutdown" feature.

Cant find any firmware from Navifly website itself, thought of using the firmware from Mekede but its not available as well :( (see below screenshot)

So it is working if I understood correctly? What exactly did you have to do to enable it? Does it just work automatically if you have AA version with Coolwalk on your phone?
Yes, its working fine for me.

The way to connect it is exactly the same as the older version - connect via Car Link, no difference.

I'd just meant that I didn't have Coolwalk installed, so had to modify some flags in local Google play services database (needs root), can follow the following instructions:

Hello,

(sorry for spelling - google translate)

I bought a Medeke M700S for a Citroen C5 x7 car - the steering wheel control works, the reversing sensors work, but the external temperature indicator does not work. Outdoor temperature option is enabled. My CanBus is RZ-PSA15 SW: V0117 HW: NC3-0406. I changed different cars in the settings, citroen C4, DS but nothing helped. Is there any way to enable the outside temperature to be displayed next to the watch?

And one more thing - every time I turn on the radio, wi-fi is turned off. Is it possible to set it so that when the radio is turned on, the wifi is turned on?

Have you tried to set up the Peugeot 408

I changed to Peugeot 408 - all available versions. Unfortunately, the temperature still did not show up.
What else can I do?

Sorry for the delay. I'm sorry I can't help you more, I have no other solution than to buy another canbus interface, but I don't know if you should if it's to have only the temperature more. See you. I bought the Simple Soft XP (the orange one) but with this I had all the steering wheel controls working properly, while before with the canbus supplied with the M700S, some did not work

No, I took this on the advice of the dealer where I got the Navifly M700S

€ 9,37 | Autoradio cavo opzionale per Kia per Hyundai per CHEVROLET per LADA per Ford per Peugeot per cavo di alimentazione Citroen

Choosing at the time of purchase the specific one for Peugeot 408 but which is also valid for the 308. I think you should take that for Citroën. But you can ask the retailer

It's an account flag, all done on Google's end.
It gets enabled without having to update any app.
If you have a rooted phone you can enable it but it disables again after a few hours.

You need to wait till Google enable it on your account, or join the Android Auto beta programme.

The coolwalk update was enabled on my account yesterday.

I still have a question about bluetooth in the Medeke M700S.
Is it possible to unlock it? I can't pair the radio with the diagnostic interface or send a file from the phone. What can be done about it?

Read forums. Paring BT obd isnt an issue, but use a genuine OBDLink SX usb for real compatability, reliability and speed.

I don't understand. I have a problem with BT pairing. For Citroen I use soft FAP1.5 and it works only via BT.
USB OBDLink SX
is a diagnostic cable and how does it help me?
I read that you need to change the 'config' file that will solve the problem - but where to get it?

    Where can I submit a translation correction request?
    Nowhere. FYT doesn't do this. For the Sofias (2016-2017), users (including me) even delivered translated files to FYT. We were simply ignored.
    So I use my unit in English although even there there are bigg errors.

    I believe not: I just replaced the app by @KoTiX2 NavRadio+ free https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...53i-fyt-devices.4387965/page-40#post-88247931

    Only downside is, that this apps conflicts with the original FM Radio so you have to remove it. Which on its turn, cripples the FYT Car Launchers. Youcan't use the FM Widget or shortcut for the radio. If you do try it, your launcher will crash and reset to the default one.
    In the full version of NavRadio+ you can select in the settings to have the vertical buttons list on left or right side. You can also choose an horizontal grid with customizable number of rows and columns.
    In the next version there will be also a carousel view ;)

    I meant in the original radio app, none of these settings is possible. So I recommend NavRadio+ ( I guess the free version doesnt allow to change it? )
    Oh i misread your post then :p
    I edited my post.
    Free version of NavRadio have only the horizontal grid view.

    Hello,
    I own a Navifly 7862 for two years now. I always had weak microphone. At first the seller recommended to plug the external microphone. better than internal. I also used persist.btmic.gain=9 than 7 in config.txt and did work for me, better than before.
    Recently I got a new update and reset the device. As usual I changed my config.txt and persist.btmic.gain. But with the latest update the microphone almost does not exist. When talking in BT calls almost nothing is heard to caller and when I use a recording application it can record but very weak, heard from the deep... Tapping on microphones can be heard from far.
    Since then I tried multiple things:
    • update again
    • factory reset and new update
    • settings in config.txt:
      persist.sys.zlink.mic.vol=9.9persist.audio.mic.senstivity=1
      persist.btmic.gain=10
      persist.btspk.gain=7
    • downloaded the firmware directly from http://www.mekede.com/Software Download Address1/
    • tried to change ro.build.fytmanufacturer=1 or 116 and ro.fyt.uiid=4 or 2 at fyt.prop (did't expect anything from this but gave it a try)
    • used original global config.txt
      persist.btmic.gain=7
      persist.btspk.gain=7
    I also tried another external microphone. Factory setting which exchanges front/back microphone does nothing. I suppose something with the newer update and after causes that, since it happened after the update, worked before.

    Any suggestions? Anyone has similar issue?
    Thanks
    on the older models the software switch does not operate. there is a tape over the ribbon cable to the internal mic trick.

    Thanks for the answer. I don't know whether I need to hack the hardware, the internal mic. I suppose is firmware issue.
    I bought the device in Apr 2021 and had the previous update in Jan 2022. It worked till recently, it was not perfect sound but I could be heard. After the latest update both microphones, internal and externat are weak, they work very low, in levels that almost can't be heard. Toggling the mic selection option in factory settings does nothing. The seller had sent me an update from Aug 2022, I also used the one from MEKEDE site, in Nov 2022 (the last one also write that Android version is 12, I didn't know it could take 12). Everytime the result is the same...
    The hardware change was in Aug 2022, which allows the software switch to work. So both are always enabled on yours without the mod.
    Which drops quality in both due to power supplied to run only one.

    They are all android 10. The a11 a12 mod is a text setting, not an apk upgrade.

    Looks like the fan power.
    To tell the truth, that is what i supposed and connected it to the only fitting connector on when of the wire harnesses coming out of the device, BUT my fan never turns on, sooooo maybe im wrong.
    As well as connecting the fan to the harness you also have to switch it on in the UI. In Settings go to Device/Sound/Amp OnOff set to On to have the fan on. Looks like there isn't proper integration for the fan so they just use the switchable amp power output to drive the fan.

    Very clear, many thanks.
    Only one more question, navifly models seems doen't have cooling fan in the back. Is it suggested to have it or not?
    It is definitely suggested especially if you live in (sub-)tropical areas. The fan is really quite and keeps the temperature about 20 degrees lower (in my case).

    And with regard to "UI looks different": I just created a modded firmware based on the latest Mekede in combination with the latest core/kernel I could find, that contains all 11 launchers that are available for the several FYTs around. I currently use Nova Launcher. My current Mekede firmware (build date 18 September 2021) contains 3 launchers: 2 of them look very nice, but that is only eye candy. Real functionality is not so great. I will simply test all 11 and might get back to Nova again. I will also test if my modded firmware is "sharable". I know simply how to overcome issues, so I want to test first.

    I also use something else than the "twipe_all" or "twipe_data", that removes everything (all) or all data including your 3rd party installed apps including their settings. And only because FYT still doesn't have a good update protocol for their own apps after 6+ years.
    My "post upgrade" action is only removing all FYT related data/cache/profiles.
    But first test if that really works ;)

    Excuse me for the little OT. By connecting a smartphone to the Navifly/Mekede with Bluetooth and sharing the address book with it, does it remain in memory with the device? That is, let me explain better, if another smartphone is connected will it have access to the address book of the first smartphone?
    Hello there. I've already test it. Me and my girlfriend usually travel together so I have to choose between her phone and mine (FYT unit only connects to 1 phone at a time). So she's connected and all her contacts appear (and I store it) and as soon as I connect my phone the list is swapped and I cannot see her list anymore.
    It's a good thing. And other fact is that the unit first pairing is always to the last paired phone during switch off (assuming that that phone bluetooth is enabled).

    I finally received my Mekede uis7862 unit for my Octavia 2015, but it doesn't fit correctly. It needs to be pushed in and "click" tight. That is the system VW/Skoda/Seat/Audi use after 2013. That doesn't work and therefore it can easily fall out of the dashboard.
    I did a test drive this afternoon and as such the unit functions fine, but the fact that it is completely loose and can fall out of the dash is an extreme annoyance after having waited so long.

    EDIT: And the 5GHz WiFi reception is a big deception. I have to park my car almost inside my nearest WiFi Mesh AP, while I have a perfect MESH WiFi network.
