Hello.
I have a problem with "Mercedes canbus". Let's see if you can help me.
I have a Medeke/Navfly 7862 FYT (116) unit mounted on a SLK-350 Mercedes R171, 2006 year

The canbus module provided by the seller is an XR.

I have not been able to correctly adjust the Canbus version in the 7862 FYT configuration, since my car model does not appear in the hidden menu configuration. The closest thing is an A-CLASS w169. Other car setups work the same, or just don't work at all.

There is a very big error when handling, from the steering wheel, the configuration of the car's instrument panel menus, since the FM radio memories change themselves. And it shouldn't have that effect.
The outside temperature does not appear either, nor do the parking sensors work on 7862 FYT.

Is there any way to update the functionalities of cambus mercedes? Has anyone experienced something similar?

The seller has not been able to provide me with a solution. After several questions, the technical service has disappeared.

Sorry for my English. I use google translate

On the radio, the stations are on the RIGHT, is there a setting to have them on the LEFT?

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 ;)

You are wrong...

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? )

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.

How do I change it to Portuguese Brazil, can anyone change it for me? I tried to do this, not sure if it has anything to do with it, but my screen stayed horizontal.


ro.product.locale.language=ru
ro.product.locale.country=RU
persist.sys.language=ru
persist.sys.country=RU
persist.sys.timezone=Europa/Moscou

rotation has to do with something like ro.sf.swrotation=90 or some number like that.

Brazil has two time zones. You have to find out yourself.
Simply remove those settings from the config.txt. And you obviously did not read post #2 of "General FYT based Spreadtrum uis7862 (unisoc ums512) - Q&A, Mods, tips, firmware"

Taking advantage of this to modify this is also to leave it horizontal.

If you download a firmware from 4pda, you should ask on 4pda, not here. If you don't speak russian then don't go to 4pda and download stuff you can't get support on. You are doing the worst of both worlds.

Leave these 5 settings out of the config.txt and when your units boots, it will be in English. Then change it to your liking.
Just as @mastrv mentions.

    I just installed a M700 (7862, 8Gb) and am having issues with both USB and Wi-Fi tethering through a Pixel 7. Both options are unusably slow. I've tested the hotspot with other devices and have no issues, just issues with this headunit. Mekede support is no help so far, anyone have suggestions?
    What speed tethering does your cell plan include? Are your speeds looking like 3g speeds?
    Also if you haven't yet, set your phone's tethering to use 5ghz instead of 2.4ghz

    To add to both of @louforgiveno 's questions: What is unusably slow? What are your down/upload speeds? "unusable" is a very subjective statement.

    Yay! I did a thing!

    With a bit of dutch courage, I had a go at the modification & although it was a right bugger to do, I got there in the end. I made a video for others to see, I've set it as unlisted on youtube for now because I noticed an error I appear to have made twice. I said earlier that the spacializer didn't work & I was wrong. I only noticed when I watched the video I made that when I tested the HDMI I used the "surround" option in the mixer. For the other apps I used the "field "option. I must have made the same mistake when I tested on my workbench, because I've been & checked & when using the "field" option it works fine. So, mod works 100% as far as I know.

    Here's the vid for those who are interested:

    With a bit of dutch courage, .....
    Nice you fixed it.

    However, being Dutch I always feel slightly insulted ;) when someone mentions "Dutch courage".
    So here a little history why Dutch courage is actually "English calm down and reduce fear for".
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_courage (the short, more positive version)
    And why the English should be thankful for their gin.

    Hi guys,

    I just need help in knowing how to connect the reverse camera so that it displays on the HU when the gear is shifted to reverse.
    Hope this helps....

    Did you not know when you purchased that it was fake Android 12?
    I think anyone who knows this and purchases with the hope of getting a rebate/discount can't complain if they are ruled against by AliExpress.
    No, I did not know it was fake Android 12, and I am not trying to get a rebate / discount.
    I don't think it is relevant to know in advance. If they say it is Android 12 and it isn't, it's wrong by them. They can really change it with a new Android version on new units, that is different than Android version on the units sold before. We can't judge that on previous experience (although we might know better).
    If they say it has HDMI instead of 360cam, you als have to trust the advertisement. And if it is wrong, the reseller is wrong.
    If they say that the M6pro has a 2000x1200 screen, and you get a 1280x720, because others have it as well, the reseller is wrong.

    You order based on what they advertise, not on experience on previous models or previous buyers.
    That we know better in practice and that is is different in practice, is not relevant. Legally the reseller is wrong.

    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.
