Video out (hdmi) was part of the px5 and px6 models (now is being removed) .... on units with no DVD drive.... did you check the factory settings if there is specific option for video out?

I checked the factory settings, it is not possible to turn on VIDEO OUT.
Is there a workaround to get the monitors in the headrests working?

I have a Skoda Superb which had a cheap CE headunit when I bought it. That gave a compass bearing to the in car display. I replaced it with a MTCD headunit and lost the compass display - so I would say that MTCD units do not supply this. However some VAG cars (which don't come with the more expensive oem satnav units) have a separate compass sensor. It is possible to get that sensor, install it and configure canbus to use it instead of the satnav integral compass.

Hi. What I thought was a simple question but I get multiple answers. I fitted a px5 to my Landrover Freelander 2 but can't get GPS lock. I have tried supplied GPS Antenna and the Landrover factory fitted. I am wondering if the HU is an active antenna and whether there is a power conflict with the factory fitted. Can anyone tell me if PX5 is active or not

Hello everyone. I need a little help. I have a PX5, MTCE_CHS, Android 10. I found the MCU updates in the attachment. All of them have ... MTCE_CHS in their name, only the newest one has the label MTCH_CH. I have 2 questions.
Is this update for my unit?
What's the point of updating the MCU?
Thank you all very much.

    *Warning: Do not install 1024x600 fw on 800x480 HU*
    It has been reported that it will not display properly once installed.

    An update usually consist of two files:
    The Android ROM (update.zip) and it is usually compatible with any head unit of the same model (MTCD) and CPU (PX5).
    The MCU (dmcu.img) is specific for each manufacturer and it should never be updated on other manufacturer's MCU update file (unpredicted response from physical buttons - or CAN bus responses, or bricking the unit).
    However, it has been tested and confirmed that JY, KD, GD and now HA MCU are cross-compatible Verified cross compatible MCU thread (thanks for info @marchnz(
    Update at your own risk!

    Installation instruction:
    Unzip update.img to the root of the GPS SD Card.
    Make sure you Don't include the dmcu.img if your MCU does not match the MCU of the firmware.

    Update 2017-11-07: The new versions of my modded DAB App can be found here:
    https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...b-app-realzoulous-modded-version-com-t3609608

    ---------------------------------
    I took above DAB+ App "YHX_DAB+20170328.apk" and created my own one.
    With less bugs and even more features.

    YHX_DAB+20170328-zoulou-2017-04-09.apk

    Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7j1jokityvyv8vb/YHX_DAB+20170328-zoulou-2017-04-09.zip?dl=0

    Change Log (compared to YHX_DAB+20170328.apk)
    - Enormously reduced CPU consumption
    - No audio stuttering when app running in background
    - black background image
    - bigger display of station logo
    - changed "radio" logo => "DAB+"
    - station name is bigger and has same color as signal bars
    - moved PTY info more to the left
    - First entry in station list is padded
    - NEW: station frequency is shown below the signal bars
    - NEW: Record audio of currently playing station. On/Off with the red button right hand-side of the signal bars
    - NEW: Another way to filter station list for only specific PTY

    ATTENTION: You *must* first uninstall the "old" DAB+ app. No update is possible! Then install this one.

    FYI: This app will cease to start after March 2018.

    I found out, there are follwing possible passwords on which factory settings has reaction

    Static programmed passwords

    Code: 
    126 - opens facotry settings app (Device customer name beginns with RM - parameter ro.product.customer). 
m123456 - opens facotry settings app with bit other parameters...
adbon - enables ADB
adboff - disables ADB
keject - sets ctr_key to eject
kpower - sets ctr_key to power
hcttouch - display some touch info. probably touch panel area size in pixels
hctreboot - initiates device reboot

hctbtup - writes on screen "BT updata!" , Sends Android Intent
hctbtte + 3 digits - probably starts some tests with bluetooth adapter. but no information what this 3 digits meaning

logcls - clears logcat
logcat - executes logcat as follows [b]logcat -f  <filename> -v time
		 filename = <external storage>/<current date+time>_android.txt
kmsg   - excutes dmsg command and writes output to <filename>
		 filename = <external storage>/<current date+time>_kernel.txt
radio	- executes logcat as follows [b]logcat -b radio -f <filename>
		 filename = <external storage>/<current date+time>_radio.txt
logcan - starts CAN bus logging app

1199	- enables/disables HZC_MENU . I don't know what it is
v5555	- Enables/disables Video while driving. Enable also removes "Watching video" under Car settings
hcttest + up to 3 digits - not tested yet.

    There are also up to 2 passwords, which are stored on device. Action same like with password: 126 . Probably one of them set to 126.
    EDIT:
    On _GS Device in MCU stored passwords
    Code: 
    126 - opens facotry settings app
3333 - opens facotry settings app, only logo change screen
