Hi Rick,

ART does work on the S160...... eventually. But it takes forever to load.

As you will know ART needs to load/optimise all your Apps before the system loads up.

My first suggestion is to wait for it to load, then you change it back. Depending on how many apps you have it could take 1 hour to load. Having said that it is a good idea for you to get photos of the 'about device' screens before changing it back.

I do have firmware but let's get it working again first.

Regards, Leigh
[Android Head-Units] RickoNL90:
Allright, I already tried waiting but 40 minutes may not be enough... okay.

I'll let it run for an hour and see what's happening. I'll make sure to make a screenshot of the settings before chaning it back.

+ yesterday I tried to find the SD card slot but I couldnt find it. Do you know where I can find that?

Thanks for your help :)
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi Rick,

It's under the cover (looks like a button) labeled "SD GPS".

The other one is under the cover labeled "SD DVD".

Regards, Leigh
[Android Head-Units] RickoNL90:
Thanks, I understand now.

Can you share with me the details for flashing and the rom ? Tomorrow ill see if its boot after an hour.
[Android Head-Units] RickoNL90:
It didnt boot (also not after more than an hour).

@Leigh63 , can you share the flashing instructions with me? thanks!

Hi @Leigh63 !

Thank you so much for your help! I got it flashed and the process went smooth.

It took me hours and hours to try and format the sd card via win xp via virtualbox(i have a mac).

I couldnt figure it out and I thought: why not just format it with the mac.

And it worked flawlessly!

One small note: the rom was an executable, you dont need windows at all if it would have been a rar or a zip

But in the end im very happy i didnt brick my car and got it back up n running:)

Thanks again
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi Rick,

That is great news.

Thanks for coming back to share your feedback. That's the whole idea of chatting in the Public Forum.

I was always told by Winca that the update would never work on an SDcard Formatted with a Mac, so I always told members that it wouldn't work. I've never owned a Mac and probably never will. I am allergic to 'Fruit' (that's an Apple joke) :rolleyes:

I made those files 6 years ago and WinRar self-extracting was my best option to make it easy for members at that time. I stopped paying the DropBox fees this year and unfortunately I cannot change the files now. The files have been left to die as they are.

Enjoy your S160

Regards, Leigh
[Android Head-Units] RickoNL90:
Im fine paying for the files on a s3 to keep it alive and help if you want.

[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi Rick,

Thanks for the offer but I think I will just let the files Rest In Peace.

I still have master copies on my PC if anyone needs something after DB delete them.

I think the files will stay on the DB server for a year or two before they get deleted anyway.

Enjoy.

Hi leigh63.

I have a xtrail with a s160 m353-2. Recently the camera video feed (flicks to black screen in reverse)and radio volume have stopped working after roughly 8 years. I have tried a reset with no success. Was thinking maybe trying a firmware Reinstall hoping it's a software issue not a hardware issue. Would you happen to have this model firmware by any chance?

Thanks,

Hello @Leigh63 thanks for message. My device working but the error is same of link https://xdaforums.com/t/problems-in-my-winca-s160-m422.4464009/
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi Bruno,

No Sound is a symptom of failed solder joints on the CPU Sub-board.

The problem occurs because the CPU is mounted to a small circuit board which is soldered to the much larger motherboard. The two boards expand and contract at different rates which create small cracks to form in the solder joints between the two boards.

The only way to fix the problem is to resolder every joint around the sub-board.

I will try to find a thread suitable to post step by step repair process. I had one on the old RoadNav Forum but the forum has closed now. Please be patient.

Regards, Leigh.
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:

Before you remove and start attacking your S160 with your soldering iron, you can try reinstalling the Firmware.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply (I'm on holiday in the middle of the Pacific Ocean)

First, you can try to do a Hard Reset which will re-install your existing Firmware.

Hard Reset:

1. Press & hold RESET button (tiny hole) for 5 seconds

2. Without releasing RESET button press SRC button (the one with the house icon) for another 5 seconds

3. Then, release RESET button only (keep pressing SRC) and wait until you hear a beep.

4. Your Unit will reset and re-install after that.

If Hard Reset does not solve the Red Screen then you can Install one of my Firmwares.

Hi,

As previously advised many times before in this thread; your S160 cannot be upgraded to Android 5. The Hardware is not compatible.

You must stick to 4.4.4

Do not do Playstore updates because they probably will not work.

I can give you firmware that is slightly newer than yours (it has YouTube),

Or I can give you just the YouTube APK (that runs on 4.4.4). You can install it by USB stick or SDcard
