Hello Jeff,

I have a Newsmy N

U

3001 and a S160 (M085).

I prefer the NU3001 since it is more easy to access the rom files from your computer, getting root etc...

The BT speaking quality is almost the same. Microphone on both units is a little bit weak, so place it as close as possible to your mouth.

OK Google never used. Both can access my 32GB USB pendrive without any problem.

They maybe promise the S160 is more ready out of the box, but it also have a lot of bugs!

I have tested this update for the M085

Build number: rk3188-eng 4.4.4 KTU84Q eng.rks160.20160114.114650

MCU: 01601160

FLASH: A006

APP: Part9 2015-10-20 15:25

Here are the results so far...

SOLVED	- Error message “Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped”.

SOLVED	- A lot of apps give same Error message “Unfortunately, APP-NAME has stopped”.

SOME SOLVED - TomTom NOT SOLVED	Google Play Store saying “not compatible”, but if you have the .apk you will manage to install it.

SOLVED	- S160 thinks it’s in another region. Try to find app “Car Launcher Pro” It is not available on the S160

NOT SOLVED	- Bluetooth data transfer is very slow.

SOLVED	- Wi-Fi disconnect after 1 min.

NOT SOLVED	- Unable to re-program the steering wheel keys. It does not accept them.

NOT SOLVED	- Door open warning is not working.

NOT SOLVED	- Fuel consumption and average information is not working.

NOT SOLVED	- How to receive an oil low level message?

NOT SOLVED	- Hardcoded alt-tab menu to switch between apps is useless, because you cannot edit this menu.

Regards,

I saw the video on your site, but missing how the video player looks like, could you show me?

I like the dark skin. Nice that it is pre-rooted! What are the extra useful apps?

I have problems with some older sdupdate.img files, so which version you are using to rebuild it to this mod?

Ciao

Hi Kotix,

Thanks for your reply.

1. My SGS6E boots in 22 sec everytime, no problem. However, I was asking about the M150 promised boot time @25 sec. Does anyone know if this actually holds or is it much longer?

2. There could be a number of thing that could be done to remedy startup time. I was thinking about the possibility of making a firmware which for example, only loads the absolute nessasary android files together with, lets say the radio and nothing else on boot? Or perhaps making an on/off option to select sleep mode all the time, in stead of shutdown when the key is removed? Or how about making an on/off option to select statup of the unit as soon as the car is unlocked? Maybe it is possible, maybe not, just asking?

3. Anyone else know if Ford voice control actually works?

Hi all,

I'd like to buy an Android Navigator ( S150 or S160 better) for my Ford Fiesta, searching trought AliExpress I found an interesting item below:

AliExpress - Ford Fiesta 2012-2015 Android 4.4 Nav

[MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] ...do you think the s160 firmware you are developing is compatible with this product? And with my Fiesta steering wheel buttons?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Forget s150, it's out of production.

forget aliexpress, it's not even an s160.

Buy the s160 from roadnavi.com.

My ROM will be compatible with every s160 model.

[Android Head-Units] Romulus76:
First of all.. thanks for your answer :good: ...and support

I spoke with Mr.Bob (WITSON supplier of Alibaba) and he confirmed that the model for FORD Fiesta will be available in a couple of months, the one shown in this LINK named W2-M152 (S160 based).

So, can you confirm that will be this compatibile with your firmware (as you tell me)?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Will witson provide you the original fw for your model?

Every time a new fw is available?

My ROM work for every model but you always will need the original fw to adapt it for your model.

Roadnavi.com is the only site providing this service, you should consider this.

Connect Bluetooth device

Hello,

In my KIA picanto I have the s160 unit.

I have purchased a Bluetooth remote on ebay but I cannot pair it with my device, it is not recognized by the s160 unit.

In addition I have noticed that the Android Bluetooth settings are missing, Im afraid that the current Bluetooth app allows to pair only phones..

Any advice would be much appreciated.

However, I am facing the following problem: the screen turns off a few seconds after the android icon appers loading. The screen turns off and, então, shows the Mercedes brand again and beeps, starting the process again. I tried many times and the process always restart at the same moment.

- Disconnect the device from the power supply,

- The other conecctions are plugged,

- Press the volume key and SRC key,

- Switch on the voltage and hold down the keys for a few seconds,

- Device beeps once and then twice,

- The android icon appers loading and then I release the volume key and SRC key.

Hello Guys,

i'm seeking for a wiring harness to connect my android S160 M090 system to my Mercedes E220 W211 which comes with the original gps radio, so i believe there is an amplifier in the trunk...i can't check it right now because the car is abroad but i'll join the rest of the family quiet soon...

So my question how the hell are you connecting the S160 M090 to a mercedes which has fiber optic ??

My best guess is this one but i can't figure out how the whole wires fits into each others...

Hi Guys and Girls,

Some of you may remember me from the old Roadnavi.com Forum.

I can help you with RoadNav S160 Firmwares.

Please post 2 screenshots from your "About Device" showing MCU version and Model number.

If your S160 is already dead, then a photo of the barcode on the back of your unit could help me identify your model.

Regards, Leigh.

Is there any update avaiable for this version ?

Thanks a lot :)
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi,

Your current MCU version is the newest available (it is also the most stable).

Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of M112. I can make a backup copy for you, but I need you to send your config files first.

Let me know if you are interested and I let you know how to get your Config files.

Regards, Leigh.

Can you please post 2 screenshots from your "About Device" showing MCU version and Model number.

[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi,

Thanks for the photos. I can see that your MCU is quite old.

Your unit can do with a firmware update.

I've sent a link to your PM Box (I send links to PM so that others do not get the wrong firmware without getting advice first)

[Android Head-Units] gardianda:
thank you Leigh
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi Guys & Girls,

I think that it is time to instruct some and remind others how to install S160 Firmwares.

Prepare a blank SD/MicroSD card:

Use a new Sdcard or do a FULL (not fast or partial) FAT32 Format on an SDcard. Do not use Win10 or Mac to format the SDcard

Capacity: 1G/2G/4G is best (8GB is OK too)

Format: FAT32

Update Steps:

NOTICE: The update will last about 10 minutes, do not operate or power off the unit during the process.

Download the RoadNav Android S160 firmware for your model.

You will need both the "Build Link" and "Model Link" files.

Extract and Copy all the files into the blank SD card.

Power OFF your radio (turn car key to OFF position)

Wait about 5-10 minutes for SRC light to go OFF

*** Make sure that there are no other SD, DVD/CD or USB inserted ***

Insert the SD card into the GPS/MAPS Slot (it must be this slot)

Hold the SRC button and turn car key to ON position. You should hear beep beep (it beep twice)

Upgrade will start automatically.

After about 5 minutes a message at the bottom says Installation complete. BUT, that's not the end of the upgrade.

The radio screen goes black and beeps for 1 minute (this is normal)

After some more updates the message at the bottom says "installation is complete please remove card"

Just remove the SDcard (do not turn off) and the radio will automatically reboot.

Regards, Leigh.

[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi,

Where did you get your Firmware from?

Did you follow the instructions on this post https://xdaforums.com/t/s160-android-4-4-4-head-unit.3268023/post-87043041 ?

Just beware that if you use an old SDcard that is not fully formatted correctly things can go wrong because the bootloader can still see some old deleted files.

Regards, Leigh.

Hi Leigh,

I got the firmware from Roadnav sales person. I have follow the instruction as you mention in that link. Now I'm afraid eMMC is broken. Do you know how could we change eMMC chip?
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi again,

I'll send some links to your PM box.

Download both files and follow the instructions again carefully (remember do not format your SDcard using Win10 or MAC PC or Laptop).

If your next attempt also fails then you can try resoldering all the pins on the CPU Chip (I have done this twice before). It's a fiddly time consuming job but can fix some problems.

Regards, Leigh
[Android Head-Units] ade.putra:
Thanks Leigh,

Well received. Currently I'm trying resoldering the eMMC chip, once it's done, I will try your instruction, and get back here.

Hi!

After refresh of firmware on my m250, seems it lost internal storage or something like that, because no changes saving(deletion of apps or creation of google account). All changes gone after turn off. Moreover, now I'm not able to renew firmware because of failure on 'system check' step. Could you share any instructions or FW updates for my M250 to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi,

My first question is; where did you get your Firmware Update from?

Or did you do a factory Hard Reset?

After a firmware install (or factory reset), you WILL lose all other Apps that are not part of the upgrade package.

You will need to log in to all of your old accounts again. You will also need to setup your Bluetooth and WiFi configs again.

Your existing Firmware MCU version is 01712290 (which was not a very stable version). What was the main reason that you tried to update? Were you having problems with your unit or just wanted to try to refresh?

MCU version 01705040 is the most stable of all the versions.

Before we upset your existing Firmware, would you like to try a Hard Reset?

Hard Reset

1. Press RESET button 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. Unit will reset after that.

Let me know how you go.

Regards, Leigh.
[Android Head-Units] g_rom_s:
Thanks for quick response!

Yeah, I know that after FW update or reset to factory settings I will lost all settings and data. But I wondered that after FW update head unit does not save any changes, each time it looks like after reset of setting, however it keeps WiFi settings and nothing else. For example, after turn off saved radio station has vanished as well as google account, deleted preinstalled applications(MX player, YuoTube, wallpapers etc) again on their places. So, it looks like after reboot it returns to factory state except WiFi settings(it save connection to hot-spot). Sometimes impossible to install app because of lack of storage despite the fact that it has over 1Gb of free space.

I'm afraid that 'Hard Reset' is not my case, because M250 does not have nor RESET neither SRC buttons :)

Current firmware I received from RoadNav a couple years ago.

If you have another FirmWare versions for M250 I'll appreciate if you can share it with me, I want to try to update FW to another version, perhaps it will help.

Regards!

P.S.: on attached print screens I'm trying to install radio player which is about 10-20Mb.

P.P.S.: yes, I have SRC button with house icon, but RESET haven't found.
[Android Head-Units] g_rom_s:
Hi

I found RESET button under MAP cap and have tried to execute HARD RESET. As result I've got the error: No command. :(

if you have a solution to this problem and thank you
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi,

I can see that your S160 is M353-1

I have Firmware for M353 and M353-2 (unfortunately not M353-1)

Where did you get your Firmware from?

I would like you to try a Factory Hard Reset before we do anything else.

Remember to remove all CD,DVD, USB & SD's from slots before proceeding.

Hard Reset

1. Press RESET button 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. Unit will reset after that.

Hi,

You should be pressing the "reset" button (tiny hole) & Home button. Can you try this please.

Hi,

Sorry my friend, I have been installing some new S300 Radios for my family and totally forgot about XDA.

Can you send me a copy of the exact Firmware that you tried to install. I'm hoping that the Canbus file is in there somewhere. I'll tell you where to send it in PM message.

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

I'll have to look into this one a bit deeper.

Your screen says no canbus but clearly you have a canbus decoder installed. You might have the wrong firmware installed.

Your SWC will rely on the canbus to decode the signals for your Radio

Please post a photo of the label that is on the back of your unit (it should show your model number).

I will have to buy a smaller SD card then but that is the instructions i followed
[Android Head-Units] Leigh63:
Hi Johan,

The size of the SD is not that important. 8GB is OK (16 GB might work)

The important thing that I have found is that the SDCard must be FULL FORMATTED (not partial or fast Format) FAT32. Do not use Win10 or Mac to format. the best is to use Win7 or WinXP or earlier PC (Linux is very fussy).

Please send me a screenshot of the files that you have on your SDcard (I want to check that you have all the files and that all files are in the right place).
