Thank you for your response,

No, my question was about how to use it ? "I want to try it" and which app I need to use to be able to use the BT doungle with s160.

I know they don't use the Native Android Bluetooth stack.
[Android Head-Units] marekjs:
I have two iCAR. One wifi and it works, but the wifi is useless, then I prefer Bluetooth, and it has issues to pair with the unit.

My Galaxy S7 can see both, then the issue seats inside of the S160.

Could it be any incompatibility issue?
[Android Head-Units] psillos:
Hi KotiX i installed your beautifull rom on my S160 and no more problems for me!

I was wondering, if you are planning an update for the ROM, if you can make , somehow, to work the SVC (sound volume control) on the S160. It would be a really nice addition!

[Android Head-Units] jgef9:
Hi Kotix,

I Like it a lot but it is similar with the stock radio app.

I like most the app in the attachment because of the below reasons:

-bigger buttons for the stored radio stations

-more fm bands (FM1 & FM2) which means more memory stations

Can you do these 2 things in your skin?

Regards,

John
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
No, I cannot add more FM bands and honestly I don't like the look of that interface.

You need a copy of your original firmware to reflash the unit.

Ask you reseller for this copy, or try to find it here
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
I have to correct my self on this... It look like somebody found a way to use the onbloard BT with OBD.

The trick consist of changing the pin code of the unit to match the OBD pincode, so if you obd dongle use 1234, go in BT settings and change the pin to 1234.

In this way the unit will autoconnect to the obd and it will be shown as connected device.

I read this on the roadnav forum so go read it there if you need more details.

[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
Thank You for this update Kotix.

I will try this later on my S160 unit.

Btw.. the skin and mod rom is working fine! Thank you

Maybe you can change the back arrow from the DVD player also to the left side in your next update.

Still a lot of other issues has to been solved by Raodnav, but I know.. this has nothing to do with your sdupdate.img mod.

[Android Head-Units] Cruze12:
I had a similar issue with my unit, one of the first S160 from Roadnav, which would not reboot after dormant mode time expired. Only recovery was to hard reset. and would boot and work again until dormant mode expired. I disconnected battery, before I found a way to reset it using the reset button and the power button at the same time. I ended up returning it, as firmware was not yet available and we could not determine what happened. However, I screwed the new one up to the same way, but remembered what I changed and was able to change it back and everything start booting normally again. I change the USB1.0 to USB2.0 in the Developer settings, which started my boot issues. Once I was able to reset and get back in there to change back to USB1.0, booting was happy again. I suspect a firmware reload would do the same, as it will default the developer settings.
[Android Head-Units] miszaq:
Ok. Try another way.....

If possible to get backup firmware (if the device not rooted) in another way, not from reseller....???:D

or

How much to pay??? :D:D:D
[Android Head-Units] fvlamon:
Do you fix it? I had the same issue. Just did a hard reset and fix it.

Hard Reset

1. Press RST button for 5 seconds

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

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

4. Unit will reset after that.

[Android Head-Units] Cruze12:
Has anyone been able to cast a screen from the 160. What app was used? When I try, the second screen works, but S160 screen gets scrambled? Thanks

Updated 3/29

MegaCast Pro App works well but appears to require internet connection for it to work properly. This app decodes video automatically, which are not supported by chromecast device, but still looking for other options which don't require an internet connection. I'm using a chromecast device with a seperate HDMI>AV converter to create a rear zone similar to what was previously available with the s150. I used an RCA splitter to connect casted video to the AUX1 input of the s160, as well a rear screens (helps when confirming video or just wanting to watch movie through the car speakers). I've also added this device "Toshiba Canvio Wireless Adapter " to create a vehicle wifi network with the s160/Chromecast/phone hotspot/other devices, which I can connect my phone's hotspot to when needed. This Toshiba adapter also allows my kids in the car to access the 1TB hardrive connected to the s160 for movies on their personal device. Not perfect yet, but very workable option for vehicles with rear seat screens.

What is the difference between purchasing from carnaviplayer.com or www.roadnavi.com?

nevermind, looks like carnaviplayer.com only has the S150, not the newer S160.

I've purchased from both sellers. Both are reputable and will support the product after the sell, but I find Roadnavi is more responsive and works hard to find solutions to any issues reported. They are the #1 source for firmware updates and information on these Head Units.

M238 - 2004 VY Series II Commodore Executive Wagon

Hi,

I'd really like an Android based Stereo replacement option for my car.

( Australia - 2004 VY Series II Commodore Executive Wagon ).

I've come across this. [ Stupid forum won't let me post links even though I've been a member for years! :( ].

roadnavi.com/product/s160-m238-holden-vy-vz-commodore-2003-04

I'm just not sure if I trust the accuracy of the page?

- Will the unit actually look like the picture? IE No Knobs etc (I like this, very simple flat, nothing to bump or break).

- Is it really Quad Core, Android 4.4.4, 1GB Ram? [ it says ROM everywhere! :( ], 16GB Flash?.

- Will it read DVD discs?

- Support Bluetooth 4.0 ? (Could not Google the chip they say).

- Built in WiFi? (Only 2.4Ghz I assume if so?)

- Does support Analogue TV? (ATV) without add on?

Quality?

I see your thread and it looks very cool. Aftermarket Firmware! Nice! :)

You should do a video of it! :)

My interests are.

- Monitor the car via ALDL, & OBD2.

- Ham Radio app's.

- Bluetooth for mobile calls.

- Reverse Cam.

- Dash Cam.

Any info appreciated.

TNX :)

[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Yes, you will loose the "OK GOOGLE" and all other voice commands you could have, because the external mic is not connected to android board.

I don't think either you will have success connecting it to the aux port. Maybe with an usb mic but i beleive that some russian guys tryed it already and the results were not satisfying.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
So the external microphone is turned off and is activated only when you receive phone calls from the connected bluetooth? It is thus more or less?
[Android Head-Units] Cruze2012:
There something wrong with the Bluetooth mic volume. I don't recall having complaints from callers until recently updating firmware to the March/April version? I tested it with a voice recorder app and it extremely low. I had same issue with my I045 a few years ago and was corrected with a firmware update to the Bluetooth module. I believe the recent update broke the Bluetooth mic volume. I may try an older firmware, depending on what I hear back from Roadnav. When working properly, the internal mic works great and can use for Google voice control.

Kotix

Due you recall what can be changed to force the Bluetooth to update? If I recall, it will not always update with the firmware updates unless a command is changed??

The Bluetooth module on s160 is mainly used only for phone calls and a2dp.

BTW you can connect to other devices such as obd if you set in the unit the same pin code that is set in the obd.

The rooted rom will not help you anyway.

I tried that a few days back w/o any luck. The software for my radar detector isn't even seeing bluetooth as being enabled.
