s160 m221 problem for audi s8

dear ,

I have ordered said device S160 m221 for audi s8 d2. Unfortunately had to return it, because there was no CAN communication ie buttons on steering wheel doesn't work.. I am still waiting a confirmation to see, if the CAN box was defect, or just the device is not suitable for S8, only A8. In other forums I see the same problem with no clear feedback what is the cause. If anyone has any info, will be greatly appreciated.

I see huge improvement with such device and I am very keen to find a solution.

many thanks in advance

KoTix2 do you have any plans in making an Carplay icon pack with the iphone icons for the S160?
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
No, i have no plans for carplay for s160.

You can replace yourself the icons decompiling audiskin.apk or even opening it with winrar.

You have root access, you are free to change almost everything.

I like the specs of this S160 unit, and I may buy the M223 for Mazda CX5, but before pulling the triger I'd like to know about the sound quality.

Is the sound quality good? I am not talking about the radio, but MP3.

Any hiccup or noise during engine Start/Stop. Does it affect the sound quality during the switching of the engine??

Corsa s160

Hi,

I was looking to buy an s160 unit for my Corsa, but I wanted to know one thing first. My Corsa has Bluetooth built into it, however, it is just for calls through phone. My mate has just bought the s160 and I don't like the fact that it has an external mic. Also the built in one is awful quality.

Anyway, my question is, does anyone know if I can use the oem mic that is built into my Corsa? Not sure what the connection is. It's great quality so I don't want to lose it. The factory unit in place is the cd30 MP3.

Thanks,

Will
[Android Head-Units] pdrhan:
Hi Will

I have attached the included microphone and inside settings of the radio you can adjust the gain for microphone and sound quality became much much better, do not think you can use the mic you have in your casa now but give it a try
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
someone has news if our S 160 will be update to Lollipop? "Warning" if you install the external microphone will lose the voice commands ok google and other voice assistants

[Android Head-Units] pdrhan:
I use siri in iphone with external mic , works fine
[Android Head-Units] W2016:
Not to worried about voice commands, just don't want to have an external mic on display and go from a good quality one to an awful one.
[Android Head-Units] bettuccio:
for those not interested in the voice commands then it is good to install the external microphone. I had installed on the side where I drive where there is the 'side airbag. The wires were not seen, and also the microphone the same thing.
[Android Head-Units] dara85:
Of course this is very subjective to each person but I don't complain. Initially, after installation, sound was awful but has much improved after few hours - guess amplifier needed to be run-in. In my case, at normal volume levels, it is not worse than stock radio (which was Skoda Bolero - equivalent of RCD510 in VW). Playing mostly mp3 at 320 or V0. But the Bolero was better when listening loud, S160 in higher volumes is overbassed, build in EQ helps to control it though.

Hi,

have you a solution espacially for point 5? I have the same trouble with my Ranger 2013.

Nice to hear about you.

Kleienr
[Android Head-Units] nwitham:
In the recent updates some of the issues were fixed, but it's still not 100%.

There is a hardware mod you can do to make the wifi a bit better. It involves moving the little antenna from inside the metal case, to outside it, but still inside the plastic shroud.

Bluetooth is still hit and miss.

In most cars, you need to use the SWC tool to map certain buttons to different functions, but this doesn't work on mine, and have heard similar reports from other Ranger owners.

There is a custom ROM you can install from Kotix, which does make some things better, and adds different skins, plus gives root access.

He also says his ROM speeds up boot times, but mine now takes about 5 seconds longer to boot.

Hey, might be the wrong thread because it's more of a hardware-question, but anyway...

If got a Zenec NC-2010 installed in my Volkswagen and it needs replacement.

However, the Zenec has GPS + Antenna + Microphone already wired inside the car. Is it possible to re-use those things? They are working fine. Maybe those plugs are universal, or is it manufacturer-specific? It would save me a lot of headache (and money!) if I simply could reuse it...

[Android Head-Units] corpcd:
What do you mean with "some that are in the Play Store", giving that you have an internet connection (wether using tethering or using an USB 3G) and that the program you are interested on is 4.4 compatible, can't you install everything from the Play Store? Are there any strange limitations on the ROM that is shipped with the device?

I've seen here that people has tuned the ROM to modify things but, do you think is possible that the fw is updatable to 5.1 android, or the manufacturer doent look like (as most chinese manufactures) they will be releashing updates for this device?

Thanks to the people that have pointed out to the compatibility of Sygic (my personal fav) and TomTom. Anyone with Automapa, it is heavier than the rest and 1 GB RAM seems low.
[Android Head-Units] Segu42:
If I have Internet connection using tethering with my phone. I did not explain well, you can download applications that are compatible with android 4.4. There are occasional application that can give any problems but downloading the apk from the computer and then installing it, it works. I think that any Chinese distributor can make a firmware update 5.1 with the hardware of S160, Joying emphasizes that can not be done the upgrade from 4.4 to 5.1 , the motherboard must be changed.

Go to the forum put below and there are many people doing things with the s160. Change the images is not very difficult, but if the application is complicated, it is controlled by mcu and not by android.

S160 for Mazda 6 (M012 model)

Hello to all.

By the time i post here i am using this build (i think it is the latest):

rk3188-eng 4.4.4 KTU84Q eng.rks160.20160902.154432

MCU: 61610150

FLASH: A00A

Im facing some issues regarding our S160 radio. Mine is a S160 for a Mazda 6 (2007-2012). The bugs are the following:

1- Sometimes the radio beeps twice during normal use. The beeps are similar to the ones you get when you power on the unit. It could happen after 5 minutes of use, 30 minutes... random.

2- The steering wheel's buttons for previous and next song are mixed. If i push the right button it switch to the previous song and viceversa.

Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated, thank you very much!

Wifi not working

I have a S160 and I am having wifi problems. When I installed it the first day, it connected to my wifi hotspot just fine. Now it will not find or connect to any networks. I tried turning wifi on and off, reflashing the rom, factory reset, everything. Wifi says it is on, but just does not locate any networks. I have a jet pack wifi hotspot, and I tried my wifi hotspot on my iPhone. I just installed Kotix rom and still my unit will not find any wifi networks. I am assuming this is a hardware problem, so I was thinking of trying a usb wifi dongle to see if I can get wifi connectivity back. Is there any wifi adapter I can buy that is plug and play with the s160, and how would I then set it up to use the USB adapter instead of the built in wifi. Or should I try and use an external antenna instead first? This unit is relatively useless to me without internet access.

I have a M201 in a Jeep Liberty if that matters

---------- Post added at 07:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

I found a wifi adapter on roadnavi that I can't link because I am too new, and it says s160 compatable. If I ordered this and plugged it in, would my unit then use this for wifi?

[Android Head-Units] antvic:
Good luck, you have it in your language.

As far as I know these units work like this:

-The sensors transmit at 433.92 MHz a signal to a receiver

-That receiver is turn Bluetooth 4.0 transmitter

-Any smartphone or Android radio with Bluetooth 4.0 can receive that signal and display it through a suitable APK.

In the case of USB it would be logical to eliminate the Bluetooth transmitter and connect the signal directly to the Smartphone or to the Android radio in our case. And with another appropriate APK, show that signal on the Android radio.

Tell me which of these links is where you bought it:
