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:

I have seen this in some responses but not sure it helps, Below is the camera I got from Navifly and the wiring seems to be a bit different from just a single rear camera.
Looks like the same kit that I got. You say that both cams are working and that the problem is when you go into reverse, so it's either a problem with the reversing wiring or a setting in the options. From memory, the rear cam has a main lead that connects to the front cam, there's a black that goes to ground and a red that connects to the reversing light. At the front, there's a usb connection, I think there's an rca for the rear view connection & another wire that connects to the reversing light lead. There's also an option in settings to enable the rear view on reverse. I'll have a look tomorrow when I get the chance.

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.
No insult intended, seeing as I'm a whiskey drinker, I'll have to find a more appropriate phrase :)

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.

Thanks @Dudgeware This is now resolved. It never crossed my mind to test if the red wire on the RCA actually had power. Apparently, the connection on the reverse bulb didn't make good contact and was the reason it wasn't switching when in reverse mode.

Do you know the pass code to enter factory settings? I need to switch between PAL and NTSC cos I can only see grey picture in reverse mode.

3368 should do the trick.

The pass is 3368 for Factory Settings (168 On Teyes).

These units support both PAL and NTSC with no toggle to switch between.
There is a toggle to switch between AHD or TVI/CVBS reverse cameras.

Anyone encountered a problem with START STOP car function not working after replacing stock navi with M500S? Nothing has changed on my car except this unit. As far as power connections are made everything looks ok. Unit powers off with car (standby) and after 48h it goes into full shutdown.
I've checked my car manual and none of conditions mentioned in manual are met for start stop to stop functioning. There is no warning on dashboard that function is malfunctioning.
I saw one option in navi factory settings "Automatic start stop" and I tried with ON and OFF, nothing changes. Car is Suzuki Vitara manual.

Maybe you have some battery issue. START STOP often stops working when battery voltage drops under 60% or lower, depend from a car. I'm guessing you spent quite a bit of time in a car with not running engine while you were installing and testing the radio. If the voltage drops below a certain level, the car starts to turn off the consumers of electricity, but the car continues to start normally. I assume you have an AGM or EFB battery in your car. At least it should have it according to the START STOP function.

Yes I was a long time in car setting the radio. Tested my my car battery and it reported ok. I tried to play with car settings and once I set start stop option to economy it started to work. I set it back to standard and again it worked. So either this option change helped or battery was charged in last two days of driving to work and back home. So for now I've solved all issues with this device.

"There is a toggle to switch between AHD / TVI(CVBS) reverse cameras"

Spot On! I figured this out too. All my problems on this unit are now resolved

Hello friends, do you know how to increase the volume gain of this Mekede m6 pro plus radio, it is close to my old M700s and too weak in gain, its maximum volume is half..
Hello;
I don’t know if this can help, but when I use the Youtube app, the sound is low and of average quality, but when I use the Bluetooth or the Youtube music app, the sound quality and volume is much better.
I have a Navi fly.

It has the general volume setting there you can adjust the types of volumes like GPS, radio, Bluetooth etc. I just can't tell you how to access this setting because I'm at work right now.

    I just tested, it's not because of the dongle.... Sometimes the USB goes after a reboot and sometimes it doesn't. I don't understand it... It's already the second new M700S
    Do you have anything else connected via USB?

    Did Mekede also send you new USB cables or just a new head unit?

    I've only ever seen 2 posts where the USB ports have stopped working and 1 of those posts was yours.
    The chances of this happening to you on 2 units in a row are extremely slim and to me this suggests the possibility of some kind of accessory misbehaving.

    Does anyone know if the GL850 IC was installed for the USB hub in the FYT devices?
    this is the chip from my both Mekede M700S:
    PXL_20230830_110025511.jpg


    right of the chip is a tiny switch IC for direct OTG on the alone (null) USB port/cable

    No idea about the NOR MCU but with the YIN MCU it is universal. Both 360 and non 360 units use the 360 MCU.

    Also, links to 4pda are banned on xda so you may wish to edit your post.
    Oh sorry, I didn't know that the links are forbidden. I just wanted to edit but the mod was faster

    Just a heads-up/warning... as of a couple weeks ago, my m700s just spontaneously started to destroy every USB drive plugged into it. I lost $300 worth of USB hardware before I finally figured out what was going on. Proceed with caution on these cheaply developed and manufactured Chinese units.
    Fortunately I had rewired the oem usb socket of my car to the unit for full integration, I think the issue is in the poor harness that come with these unit.

    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.
