Music & Navigation information to my VW's display - MTCB Android Head Units General

Hi,
I have a VW EOS from year 2009.
I had installed a MTCB unit last year and had upgraded to Android 4.4.2 which I found here on XDA.
When I use the music player in the ROM, and play mp3 files, I can see track number as "T5" and the position on the track like "00:03:05" on display under steering wheel.
But the name of the song is not displayed. Could this be changed by a configuration ?
Or MCU upgrade ?
Also, when I play radio, or other music player , no information is sent to the display. Is it possible to send radio channel or RDS information to the display ?
Can we also have information from other music players ? ( Spotify would be wonderful)
Last but not least; I had seen some other MTCB units which sent navigation information (like turn left in 200 meters) to the steering wheel display. Mine does not send this info.
Can I also enable this by config or update ? (I use IGO as navigation information)
Thanks.

I'd appreciate any ideas/suggestions , anything...
thx.

AVRCP not working in PocketMusic and PocketPlayer !

Hi,
Have anyone noticed AVRCP buttons ( next/previous and play pause buttons) not working in Pocketmusic and PocketPlayer. But they are working perfectly in TouchFlo3d music player and also Windows Media player.
Any fix?
I found this problem too as I always played pocketmusic; now I play my mp3s thru audio manager cause I don't know how to fix it, sorry.
that's weird, hope somebody could throw some light over this issue
no fixes yet? nobody got a clue?
is there button mapping options in Pocket Music player?
Would be great if this could be fixed
i am trying to link different applications with AVRCP / A2DP though without luck...
it did worked on Tytn II , though the Diamond seems not to offer the possibility to control 3rd party Multimedi applic's
Coreplayer 1.25 ; no AVRCP - only volume control
Pocket player 3.6 : same as above.
WMP -on board : all works, but the sound output is less than the above
I will try to associate file extensions with other programs and report back if this would solv.
i guess only disabeling Touchflo might solve this temporarely as a work around.
I have same troubles with CorePlayer too
When I connect my DS-970, its controls TF3D player tab
I try to disable this tab - CorePlayer didn't work correctly too
but WMP did! (
Reg tak request
I posted left and right requests to tweakers to have a look into this but without luck yet.
Advanced Config (or boinger66 add-ons for Advance Config 2.1) should be the most suitable solution though.
If you guys would liek to post a few other direct requests (no new thread yet) someone with the required knowledge might come up with something ..
DS980 VS HTC Daimond + Pocket music
I have got the same problem. Now, I post my problem to Pocketmind support team already. They said, they will get back to me. Actually, I am not advance user and this problem should be a known problem, unfortunately, I tried to search on many web by using google, hopeless!!
If I got any feedback from the support team, will share

There is option on the button mapping but it did not work with AVCRP bluetooth. It works on the handheld itself
Having same problem too.. have installed the WMP plug-in for Pocket player and enabled the workaround relating to play/pause for WMP A2DP in the config screen. However, still cannot use AVRCP to control Pocket Player from my Bluetooth car stereo.
Not a major issue, but it would be nice to get working as I've been impressed with PP so far and so will probably end up buying it.
Thx

I'm following this thread because I plan to buy a Touch Pro when it comes out in my area and I want PocketPlayer to work with the AVRCP on my new car stereo.
I saw from your post about Advance Config and I was curious if anybody tried setting the Default Music Player for the HTC Music Plugin setting? Does that help?
Advance Config can be downloaded here: http://www.touchxperience.com/
As I do not have a Touch Pro yet, I cannot test this, but I am curious about other's experiences solving this issue.
Until today, Pocketmind has not reply my question yet. May be, they could not figure out too. I posted my the same question in some other forum. One of the reply stated that I should find the plugin AVRCP for pocketMusic. Again, Until today, I tried to search in the google, I still could not find plugin AVRCP for pocket music. If anyone of you have a luck on this, please

After I launch your above web, then, I link to
http://www.touchxperience.com/
I saw the "HTC Music Manager" function in the description that allow you to choose default music player in the link but when install, NO "HTC MUSIC Manager". So ridiculous
My old Touch was able to map the Hardwarebutton BT to Start/Stop, so i could pause/Play by pressing BT Sidebutton.
On the Diamond and on the old Touch this is implemented in 1-3 DLLs. As it is hardcoded in these DLLs - it is definitly not possible to "remap" these buttons :-(
I asked in the forum if it is possible to use the DLLs from the "old" Touch. ... No interesting feedback by now...

Thanks for your info. Until today, nobody could solve this problem!!. I left this issue to Pocketmind and they said they would come back in 3 days. Now 10 days already. May be, they are also incapable to solve it : (
Same problem here with Mort Player on HTC Touch Pro (Raphael).
It seems, they changed the way BT stack interprets AVRCP commands, or hardcoded sending these commands directly to WMplayer, cause it is only think that works with AVRCP.
I hope this will be soon solved in some cooked ROMs.

If you hear about a cooked ROM that fixes this, please post it here!
I don't usually have time to comb through all the awesome stuff going on at XDA and would very much appreciate it!
Hi, is there a music player that can be controlled (next, previos, volume, play/pause) with the buttons on the stock wired headset? I can't use them in WMP and is very frustrating.

Still no response from Pocketmind. Also, tried to search, hopeless.

How to modify CANBUS config?

I have a HU that comes with a CANBUS decoder. The CANBUS decoder comes pre-loaded with a config file that is made for a generic version of my car. Most functions work well. However, one key part of functionality is not working, and that is a commander knob (joystick). The joystick WOULD work if my car was a sport model (lower-tier model), but I have a higher trim model that had some extra features missing from the sport model, and because of this, the joystick doesn't work.
I would like to see if I can access the CANBUS configuration stored on the decoder or on the unit, and re-map the commands to match how it should be for my specific model. I plan to listen to the serial port on my unit and see what comes in when I move the joystick, and then line up the correct settings based on that.
Is this the correct way to go about this? Do I need to re-configure the decoder, or can I do all of this inside of the HU? How can I see how these settings are mapped?
I can't seem to find anything in this thread showing how to modify the CANBUS config, only on how to listen to the serial port to see what is coming in via CANBUS.
I also know it is possible to get joystick working on my unit because some russians have a vid of it all working on one of their units that is the exact same model as mine (AN-21U 2nd gen).
Any info helps. Thanks!

11-RQ0364E-UK-A (Pumpkin VW 8 Inch) & Google Play Music

I recently purchased a 11-RQ0364E-UK-A Pumpkin 8 Inch for my 2010 VW Scirocco. Turned out to be a cracking unit and will likely write up a review for it shortly but in the meantime I've got a few technical issues that I couldn't find answers to on here so would like some help with if possible:
1) I have the option in setting to change steering wheel controls but the buttons don't work here. They work normally to change tracks (except google play music), volume, mute and bluetooth. When I click on the buttons in the menu they flash but then the steering wheel just maintains its same controls as if it doesn't recognize them in the system menu?
2) Google play music does skip / forward next track (or rewind), is there anyway to add these controls?
3) In the standard apps, i.e. radio, DAB, music, the audio will stop / mute if you switch to another system app so there is not layers audio (multiple sources playing simultaneously). This doesn't apply to Google Play Music, is there any way to add this feature?
4)Reversing sensor audio stays on for a good few seconds after operation has completed so you still get the tone. Anyway of shortening this? Or even quietening?
Any help appreciated!

Android Auto - no sound from google play music

Hey
So I took delivery of my new Vauxhall Crossland X with Android Auto yesterday. Its great to have a headunit that will work with android auto. However I have a very annoying issue.
Nav, calls and spotify work without issue. However I have recently switched to google play music. Now the app opens and when you press play the track starts progressing and you can see the time line moving, however no sound is coming through.
If I change to spotify it works without issue and I can listen to music, albeit in a lesser sound quality (in my opinion) .
Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?
Appreciate your help.
Best wishes
Andy
AFAIK there's sadly no solution for this yet. I can't post links yet because I'm haven't posted much yet, but if you google for "Play music not working on android auto" you'll find a thread in the Google product forums.
Seems to be a Huawei specific problem...
It most certainly is a Huawei issue for which they have no answer. My issue isn't with Android Auto but the Google play music app is glitchy on my car stereo. The album art is from the first song that played the first time I connected the phone to my car and it hasn't changed since. The native music app and spotify have no such issue. I think it has to do with the lack of integration. The play music app's colour should match the album art in the drop down (since Oreo 8.0) but it's just a big orange box. There's definitely something wrong with Huawei's play music.

Installing equalizer from Play store (equalizer by Smart Android apps) make sure eq is ON, and stays on, skip to next song and now Android Auto works.
But first:
Remove and clear data from Android Auto, reboot
Clear all Bluetooth devices from car, and under system in your car remove Android Play devices.
Clean fresh set-up.

Wow, this finally seemed to fix it. I installed the app and reset the Android Auto settings and it's now working again. Thanks a lot!
I gave up before seeing this last post - I sold my p20 pro and bought a pixel 2 xl - have to say it worked straight away and the sound quality on android auto is better too. Gutted Ive lost the p20 pro camera as that was amazing but its nice to have a clean stock phone again. Lets hope the pixel 3 xl has the 3 camera setup that my p20 pro had.
Do I have to leave equaliser on permanently or just for the initial reset of android auto?

EQ option turns on automatically everytime I open Google music
Same issue with Oneplus 6 and Vivo V9. Apart from plethora of issues this issue is the most annoying.
Other issues- Music stops playing and then suddenly resume from beginning of song, Blank screen, no voice control(it used to work before), Whatapps messages are not read(used to work before)
When you try and send a message through voice does it go "uh, something went wrong"?
