Why would you connect +12V to the LED? This would destroy the LED?
Or you meant that you connected camera detection wire to LED?


I have a question for those who experimented with Fastboot on this device. If I reboot into bootloader with adb, can I get out by rebooting the unit? I saw that someone was stuck in fastboot. Also is there a way of using the fastboot without messing with OTG resistor?

I'm experimenting with custom TWRP recovery for this unit so I want to know if I gonna screw myself by going into bootloader to boot TWRP.

I was stuck at fastboot and had no way to recover the unit . USB debugging was not enabled ,I could not find any OTG resistor, so I had no way to connect to the unit . I sent the unit to the vendor for repair.
Don't know if having USB debugging enabled will change anything . I've got stuck at fastboot by accident, after updating Magisk .

Who knows which antenna connector is for what ? We have those 3 connectors in Snapdragon units .
In my unit only middle connector was connected to an antenna wire which seems to be for WIFI.
I wold like to improve 4G-LTE reception .
Maybe someone who opened their units and has some other antennas connected can give some details . I think Naviodm units come with 4G antenna too. Where is that 4G antenna connected ?

Why is so huge difference?

I also have a suspicion that it's software problem not hardware. Because I previously had an MTCB unit on previous car and similar problem was fixed by updating firmware.

I installed GPSlock as advised here. But it barely helps.

Any advice?

I have exactly the same problem and I think also it is a software problem because it reconnects much faster, when not cold booted.

Does someone has a solution for quicker gps fix? As said, I do not believe it is a hardware problem.

Have you tried this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidlab.gpsfix

This may also work but requires you to have your Android rooted https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...n.GPSRepairFix

Dear Frankly30, yes I used the one without root and had no success. The one with root I couldn't tryo due to missing root. I am familar with rooting android smartphones, is there a guide to quickly root a px6 unit? one click root solution would be prefered.

Other solutions rather are welcome'd too.

Another reason to have Snapdragon unit, instant GPS fix for me. I have the antenna mounted behind instrument cluster.

I have a PX6 and no problems with GPS, but I use the BMW GPS antenna in the back of my car.

Yeah my car has no oem gps antenna this makes a difference of course. But somehow I need to fix this as this make me crazy. Beside this everything else is flawless i am really happy with da unit

Is there a way to calibrate a compass? Waze goes crazy at every stop...

A few days after I installed my new screen I've had random intermittent really bad distortion in my one drivers side door speaker. Randomly gets very loud and shitty sounding when a song has even minor base. Sometimes it gets really bad and sometimes I can drive the car for 30 minutes without it happening.

What are the chances I messed up a connection or the harness they gave me could be bad? Or is it possible that my speaker is going bad. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

If you did not disconnect quad lock connectors after first install, and speaker worked fine before, there is small chance that fault comes from harness.
I would check the speaker itself.
But there is always a chance for a bad connection in chinese quad locks.

I got a manual from seller for fixing the problem with noise in navigation voice. He means that the problem is the center speaker. Don't ask me why... I don't know.

Here is the URL for the download: https://gofile.io/?c=fVzPxV

Someone here who would like to try it?

For me cutting wires is the last option. I think it is a software bug. When I start music player, start navigation, close music player and open Deezer, navigation voice is normal without noise. If I don't start the music player there is a noise, no matter if Deezer is playing music oder radio.

they sent the same thing to me weeks ago. DO NOT DO IT. I did (not cutting, but tampering the connector so it's fully reversible) and ended up with the opposite scenario: your navigation will not talk until you start the original music app.

IT IS a software bug but they can't/wan't talk to people who developed the software to fix it, apparently. The original multimedia apps apparently starts a service that fix the audio routing. They didn't do it as a service, they did all embebdded in the app. Typical of chinese software developers hamsters.

Does someone know how to get this speedometer it looks 1000 times better than stock one




It looks fantastic please if someone know how to get it guide us!!!

Thank you for the hint. I think also that it is a software bug. We can only wait for an update and must pray that it will fix the sound problem.

For the moment I will try a tasker/macro app which runs and closes automatically the default music player app when head unit starts. Maybe a root access is necessary for that.

I'm doing the same from the start. I'm currently rooted but is not strictly necessary for that.

Any changelog or similar?

[RaceX58]

Hey guys,

I'm back with a new version of my dimming application.

List of features :

- Android service. The app will start an Android service so it can control the brightness whenever the UI is not displayed
- Day/Night mode brightness
- Steering wheel control support
- Automatic brightness switch (sunrise/sunset) based on time and location
- Display main UI on startup. You can choose to display the main interface at startup
- Configurable presets (thanks to Shrazy for the idea
- Idrive knob integration. You can use the Idrive knob to select and activate a preset

Considerations :

- It has been designed for my PX6 Android 8.1. I have no guarantee it will work on Snapdragon or Android 9 units.
- The steering wheel controls will NOT work fine if you start the default music app. I'm using the steering wheel scroll wheel to adjust the dimming, so if the default music app has been started it will also change the current playing track...
- I can't guarantee the serial port used by your unit will be the same number than mine. I can add a config menu in the future.

Using the steering wheel scroll button :

- Increase the dimming by scrolling up the wheel scroll button
- Decrease the dimming by scrolling down the wheel scroll button
- Switch day/night mode by clicking the wheel scroll button

Using Broadcast Intent :

I added a broadcast intent so you can control the dimming using you own application (or Tasker, Automate, etc...)
The action string is :

ovh.msinfo.RACEX_DIMMING_ACTION

There are 2 extras :

Name --> ovh.msinfo.RACEX_DIMMING_EXTRA_PERCENT
Type --> Integer
Values --> 0-100

Name --> ovh.msinfo.RACEX_DIMMING_EXTRA_DAY_NIGHT
Type --> Integer
Values --> 1

What next ?

I have some work to do on the design of the interface. I'm not very good when it comes to create interfaces. If you have any ideas please let me know.
