And there is in the Settings app: Device -> Sound -> Power Conditioning (absolute output volume from 0 to 60, all other audio settings are relative; if you think your audio is already too loud at position 5 (or so), you can decrease the absolute volume output here which means that Volume 5 is now lower ))

Thanks for the answer. It was louder, really. I was using microphone since 2021 for calls all the time, google search, maps, a few assistants, etc. After the last update (Aug 2022 and Nov 2022, I have tried) none of those works with microphone. In BT calls it listens nothing and in other apps it is very weak...
I have found a solution with my microphone that worked very weak after the 2022 update on my 2021 7862 unit. I couldn't go back to the older update that worked, it needed an lsec6315update file newer than 7/2022. So I made tests with my older (11/2021) AllAppUpdate.bin. I ended up with a .bin file tha uses all newer apps together with a few old vital-apps that make my microphone work as it did.
Neither the switch in Factory settings nor the config.txt settings change anything, except this hack.

The issue now is on my Bluetooth Speaker volume, when making calls it comes very weak. All other volumes use a global level and equalizer setting, when making calls it uses it's own settings. In order to hear normally I need to have it in high levels, almost 30. Before all those 2022 updates I used the same calls speaker level to 10-13.
I have noticed that all music is a bit lower than 11/2021 update, but this is not a problem because music and navi comes almost at same levels, something that wouldn't happen before (navi was lower than music, although I had it set in loud mode). I also notice that in factory settings there are Volume Balance options but none of these do nothing except Music. All other levels change nothing. Trying to increase persist.btspk.gain=7 in config.txt changes nothing.
Any ideas on this? Is there a way to enable Volume Balance Settings or set speaker gain in a file?
Thanks

What CANbus setting do you use. Some come with a HI and LO version, where the only difference is really the audio output.
Now that these power conditioning is in the Settings, these Hi/LO CANbus configs are disappearing, but you might still try.

Qual configuração do CANbus você usa. Alguns vêm com versão HI e LO, onde a única diferença é mesmo a saída de áudio.
Agora que esses condicionamentos de energia estão nas configurações, essas configurações Hi/LO CANbus estão desaparecendo, mas você ainda pode tentar.
Canbus Raise, I'll check.

Few questions about M500s:
- radio volume doesn't lower when navigation is speaking although I have enabled "GPS Mix" and set Sound mixing scale to max 20; I've also set Volume balance settings and set radio to 0 there and all others to max; I'm using Waze as my navi app; navi sound is just played over radio a bit louder; using stock radio app

- is there a way to sort contacts once synced from mobile phone? They are sorted ok on my mobile phone but on head unit they are not (we are using diacritic letters)

- how can I check which version of FW I'm using and if there is a newer one? I'm guessing I should look HERE and select 7862/9" 10" ; I tried to sign up for download but I keep getting strange error

- I also noticed every time I start my car, radio is playing and that's ok but I can't change radio stations using my steering wheel buttons UNLESS I first open radio app. If I set radio app as start up app it will start in full screen and I don't want that

Have you set your navigation app in your Settings (Navi app). That's how the unit know when you navigation is "speaking" and all the rest should be lowered.

No

Simply via the Settings device info.

The radio module is a piece of hardware that starts playing as soon as your unit wakes up (unless you disable this). So it starts playing before or without your app being active. That's why you can't change it. You use the SWC buttons to change for the active audio app.

Yes waze is selected as main navi app.
EDIT: solved! Sound mixing scale needs to be LOWERED. I set it to 3 and it works like a charm.

Well sometimes radio doesn't start up automatically and I think it's when radio wakes up from complete shutdown (car not started in 48h hours ). What do you mean "use the SWC buttons"? I did configure my steering wheel buttons and they do work but only when I open radio app after boot. After that I can go back to launcher main screen or any other app and buttons will work for radio station change.

Thank you for your answers 👍.

In order to hear normally I need to have it in high levels, almost 30. Before all those 2022 updates I used the same calls speaker level to 10-13.
I never dealt with any of these update as I'm a new comer (unit bought in December) but since the beginning my BT volume is lower than anything else, I need to crank the unit to level 30 (max volume) when on call to hear the caller.
Also the incoming calls melody is way louder than anything when I'm listening to usb/streaming/youtube, it just blast my hear anytime (can't lower this into the settings).

So when someone call me, I need to lower the volume to avoid that loud melody, check who is calling, then answer (if I wish to), raise the volume to the maximum to hear the caller.
Of course I already played with the mixing board but can't solve this issue.

Oh it's just a matter of having a file with less volume ? 😅
I would have never found this by myself ! 😂
Thank you very much, now I'll do my own ringtone at the right volume! 👍

I agree, this happens on my unit too, using update from November 2022. As an older owner I faced the microphone volume issue after the update August 2022. Before that, Bluetooth calls were working properly. I used the older AllAppUpdate.bin and microphone works. As the BT speaker volume worked better in older firmware updates (2021) I suppose something in newer makes it lower, just like the microphone. Maybe a configuration in a file, as none of the settings menu fixes that. Factory settings for volume balance do not work for anything else except music.
I also noticed that music (eg radio) was a little louder with the older 2021 update, than the newer, for the same volume level. This is not an issue as Navi in older update was lower than music and now is better, but I suppose with the same way it was configured from a setting or file, it maybe can fix the BT speaker volume. All gain settings in config.txt failed, nothing made any change. Alternatively if there is a way to activate volume balance settings, it could be a solution to gain the BT speaker.

Hi,
new here with a FYT 7862 Mekede M500 and running it with Vivid Launcher.

So far everything it is working as expected (for my needs), I only have an issue with daytime / nightime brightness that I need to switch manually.

I have succesfully removed the oem radio app and replace it with NavRadio Free (but in fact I don't listen to radio). :LOL:

I wanted to thanks everyone in this thread (read it all 2 times) because a lot of the answers where already there.
You can solve the automatic switch between day and night with tasker. It´s not the best solution but it works.

I have a Mekede M600s and just finished a fresh install of stock firmware, then installed MD edition, with upgrade bundle 1 & 2.

Im trying to disable some system apps but the Disable option is greyed out. Is there a particular way to do this on MD edition firmware?

    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.
