Hi Kotix,

I've got the s160 M049 in my Audi A3, with stock firmware from RoadNavi.

Unfortunately I'm having loads of issues with it which I've reported on the RoadNavi forums

"

Playing music through bluetooth constantly stutters and skips.

The ipod app is borderline un-usable.

Canbus not connecting - may or may not be a firmware issue due to other users on the forum with the M049 reporting the same problem.

external mic can't be used by anything other than voice calls through bluetooth, would be great if this could be used for any other app like skype, google voice search etc..

Playing music through any source, then opening navigation app causes music to stutter badly - maybe buffer size related?

If it helps, I can post a video showing the issues...

"

Unfortunately I didn't get much help from the guys there with regards to a firmware fix for this so I'm wondering if your custom firmware addresses any of these issues, in which case I'll definitely purchase that from you.

thanks!

Richard
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Essentially i haven't fixed any of the issue you have because mostly I don't have them.

Btw as I know there is an hardware mod to switch internal and external mic so you can use it for google voice.

I cannot mod the iPod app because my board doesn't support it.

I know in December firmwares the audio has been improved, my rom is based on it.

Which fw version are you running?

Please show me a video of the issues.

Is it worth buying ?

Hi,

I was about to order this unit.

Then I read a bit and I'm affair of issues.

1. Bluetooth A2DP quality- I read it is horrible because of the chip itself support only 2.0 and low bitrate.. also stuttering ?

2. Anyone tried the M306 with Seat Ibiza 2016 ? - read that on the Leon it has issues with SWC... really need the full canbus integration.. otherwise I could go for a alpine / kenwood etc. with android auto / car play.

3. Is iPhone USB supported ? Playing music from it, with full controls ?. If A2DP is bad, this is a MUST.

4. Does it work good with WIFI personal hotspot ? don't want or need to spend on another modem / data plan.

5. Worried about old android - 4.4.4. Are there still apps that support this version ?.

6. Waze - does it work ? With real time traffic ? Can I install the newest version on it ? android isn't too old ?

7. Sound Quality... is it any good ?

8. Read somewhere that you can install "torque" on it for vehicle integration. What is it ? why is it so good ?

9. What's the difference between the S160 and the S150 ?

If there are really less issues with the 150 maybe it's better to purchase this instead

Thanks,

[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
These are chinese units so don't expect nothing perfect, they are cheaper then alpine etc.. that's all

1. Not that bad quality...

2. on newer s160 ipod is supported, on old one no.

New firmwares should have improved it a bit too

3. PM me so I can give you emails of other m306 users

4. can be better, need to change a bit the internal antenna position

5. yes, why not?

6. yes, but need a small trick

7.it's good indeed

8 yes, torque work with BT obd

9. s150 is android 4.03 and it's a lot of worst than s160

I want remember everybody that there is an official support forum at www.roadnav.com

2 questions on S160

Hi Guys 2 quick questions :

1. The S160 has 16GB of internal storage, it seems as though most is used to run the OS, so when I try to install apps like Google maps I dont have enough space for it, how do I solve this?

2. How do I upgrade the firmware?

[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
old firmwwares have only 1GB user memory available.

Newer firmwares have 2Gb usermemory.

With custom roms you can get more, up to 8GB.

Hi,

A few questions regarding the S160 - rooted with kotix fw.

1. Does anyone know where the sound adjustments are saved ? I mean the equalizer and such.

I want to try and edit the balance / fader manually because on the GUI it keeps snapping to the center when I try to adjust just a little.

2. My driving data screen is launched with Golf.apk (I think) but also car settings. When I want to assign a button with S160 keys to launch the driving data, it launches the car settings instead. Anyone know how to do that ?

In the photo attached you can see that the Golf.apk is running two processes (I think).

Eventually, my goal is to be able to launch the driving data - the icon in the second image - using a physical button.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I have a little problem with IGO navigation, after installing IGO every time when i launch IGO i have such a pop up about low battery and 5 second to close the program, what i have to do is push the button cancel, after this i can use navigaton.

Every time i start IGO there is the same pop up, this is frustrating for me.....i hope so there is a solution for my problem.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
try editing the file sis .Of usually Igo does so. I can not remember if it works well for pop up battery. You will find many tutorials for this. I give you an example: [power]

powermgm_state = "0"

battery_warning_limit = "10"

Thank You for answer, unfortunately i didn`t found any tutorials........maybe i was searching bad ? !

Evening i will have more time, i `ll try to find something more about it.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
You have changed to "0"? Put to 0. If it is already 0 then Try adding this string :

[modules]

IPOWER_DRIVER=NULL_POWER_DRIVER

IBATTERY=NULL_BATTERY

This is just my idea if you want to try the test as well. The important thing is that you made a copy of the original file SYS.

Anyone knows the location of the ugly boot image - with the green/yellow/red arcs ?

Hi,

I want to get rid of the ugly boot image that shows after the boot logo and before the boot animation.

It looks like a car with front and rear sensing fields of green / yellow / red.

I want to change it to be the same as the boot logo.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
You can find it in /system/media

I tried searching the original ROM itself, only apk I found which is not in the preinstall folder, was Golf.apk.

but I didnt find the image there.

Am I missing something ?

I also noticed the Img files of the sdupdate and recovery, but don't know how to extract them.

Thanks again.
[Android Head-Units] yonika:
I searched the entire file system with root explorer, I only found canbusshow.apk but the only image it has is a green android.

Also, I noticed that this image I'm looking to replace is somewhat of an animation- the front "fields" shine a bit for a second before the boot continues.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

The overall speed of the system is significantly increased and the audio cuts of music player are gone.

Problem Audio: S160 Roadnav Kia Sportage

Hi, I wanted to ask you to help me if it is possible with a problem.

I try to explain everything briefly.

I have a s160 for Kia Sportage model M537-1 with Canbus, but I'm not good at both sound quality and low volume.

After months of testing (I also changed the woofer and tweeter of the car) I realize there is a chance to make the sound almost perfect.

Entering the factory settings (## 0323) by clicking "Select External Power Amplifier", you will see 4 options:

- Built-in adjustable

- External adjustable

- Build-in Fixed

- External Fixed

(My car has as standard a small amplifier on the back made by Kia's mother house)

Using the "External Fixed" option, low audio and poor quality. By switching to "Built-in adjustable" the sound becomes perfect for quality and volume !!

The problem is just that, once I turn off the car and restart, the audio disappears.

Contact Roadnav and tell me that the only option I can use is "External Fixed," because "Built-in Adjustable" is an option that unlike Built-in Fixed and External Fixed does not send the power-on command to my amplifier Series, this is why the sound is "silent".

Now I wanted to ask you, there is a way to change the "Build-in adjustable" option in the firmware, maybe by taking that string or code from "External Fixed" which allows the amplifier to turn on when the car is switched on.

It would be a great thing for me, but also for all those who have this car for Kia Sportage. If you have other tips to improve the situation I would be happy. Thanks

[Android Head-Units] edit:
If you want to best GPS signal possible stick your GPS antenna on the windshield of put it on your dashboard.

Check the GPS antenna cable if it's damaged because if it got broken in time (from heat and car vibrations) it could be cutting the signal to the unit.
[Android Head-Units] satiros:
Thank you

Its new so checking the cable i think will not show anything unless damaged from the begining

Whats your reception is it any good?

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] edit:
I had a lot of trouble positioning my gps antenna due to the fact that my windshield is heated (has many very thin wires that heat up) and cuts a lot from the GPS signal. I ended up sticking my GPS antenna on the windshield in an area that does not have the heating elements... the lower left corner of the windshield.

I've downloaded an app called GPS test continuously checking the GPS signal strength while moving the GPS antenna in different places around the car chosing the best spot..

Boot time and Ford voice control

Hi all,

I have just purchased a M150 for Ford Focus 2012 models, with the S160 software from iceboxauto.co.uk /Witson. I have not received the unit yet, but have a few questions, some of you might be able to answer.

1. Boot time is listed as 25 sec, but i se users reporting boot times of 45sec. What is your experience with this?

2. @ Kotix2 : would you be able to make a modified firmware with aim at reducing the boottime?

3. Before I purchased the unit, i have asked Iceboxauto, Witson & Roadnavi (all 3 independently) if the M150 have support for the original Ford sync voice feedback control. They have all confirmed that the M150 has support for it. However I can see users reporting issues with it not working. Does anyone have experience with the S160 on a Ford unit, actually working with the original Ford voice control system?

Regards

Michel
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
1. How does your android phone take to boot? I guess more than 25 secs..

You know Chinese people always oversize their specs.

2. We can only increase the sleep time when the carkey is off. If I can, I'll add a parameter in the settings screen.

3. I have no idea, I don't have a ford car.

NEXT is coming a setting to disable the Audi interface from the launcher and possibility to change the DPI set. ;D
