[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scaror:
I've been using this now a few week with Android Auto and I want to share my experiences. My main goal is to show and operate Google Maps on the Ford screen, without having to use my mobile phone. This is because I need navigation that takes traffic into account.

Slow UI response times, but usable for navigation

This solution has high UI response delays, up to 4 seconds. But it's usable for navigating. Entering a route is a bit challenging, but I can do that on my phone while walking to the car.

Flickering bottom menu is distracting

The bottom menu with app icons is flickering, seemingly random. This is sometimes distracting during driving.

Starting Android Car from the Sync 2 menu is frustrating slow

After starting Sync 2, a lot of user interaction is needed to start Android Car. I think a few steps can be skipped, if we have a version that start AutoKit by default instead of Mirrorlink. This would save me a lot of time and hassle (slow UI: frustrating slow to close Mirrorlink and open Autokit every time).

Android phone crashes after +/- 30 mins

I have to drive about 90 minutes to work. After 30 minutes connected to Android Car my phone crashes and restarts. In order to connect to Android Car again, I also have to restart Sync 2. As this makes it pretty much unusable for my commute, I tried a different approach:

I bought a very cheap iPhone XS (2020) with a cracked (but working) screen. This is a small iPhone with support for the latest iOS version. In my car I connect it to internet though a hotspot on my main phone. I installed Google Maps and Apple Shortcuts (disable wifi and enable battery saving mode when not charging) on it. I leave this phone in my car as dedicated navigation system. It does not have the flickering issues and it also does not crash. I can do without the navigation sound, so I can still have phone calls with my main phone through the Ford system. I enter routes with Siri, which is a lot faster than typing on the Ford screen. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this solution.

Any suggestions to improve this setup are highy appriciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lapipllo:
Anyone any suggestion? Message I see on the screen is as presented on the image. This is for previous versions of the mirrorlink when I connect to the latest EC 4.6.14 I constantly gets QR Code with information that MOB client is not running. I've all permission configured and the same application is working with previous EC (with frequent reconnections) but not the latest. I'm using Yilian Driving Assistant 6.8.0 Eng, upgrading to v11 the same situation.

Anybody has this problem ? After I connected ccpa and open autokit app on my sync 2 it keeps saying please Connect AutoKit-Box to headunit by USB cable ?

What do I supposed to do ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
you need to change the USB cable to a good quality one with data transmission.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
The only salvation for some Samsung phones is a package with a classic Mirrolink. Now you need to re-upload the software, preferably 3.10, and use the classic Mirrorlib with Videoplayer. Your phone simply doesn't allow access, so you receive a QR code. I've encountered this situation with some Samsung phones.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tineprogramming:
You mean usb to connect with the phone ? Can I use wireless carplay with iphone ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
When you have the adapter, connect it with a USB cable as the first method, when the version from the yellow box is only a cable, when you bought the carlinkit from the white box and you have wifi, you need to change the settings by connecting the adapter via an OTG adapter to the Android phone and installing the AutoKit application

Hello. I am interested in mirrorlink to sync2. Request to generate a file for SN: XU9RTF7H

Please also provide a link to the Android application. I have already tried with some version of mirrorlink, there is no working link to the application for Android phones anywhere.

Thank you in advance and best regards.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
Yes, but only the CCPA adapter works wirelessly with iPhone. However, the Android phone must be connected with a cable.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pestachero:
Hello @sensorial, I tried different methods and files but I can't install mirrorlink on my sync2(3.08) to be used with my pixel 7, I would appreciate a little light on my darkness :)

Número de serie: XU971XSV

edit: I managed to install mirrorlink but in the sync2 apps section when touch to enter mirrorlink it doesn't work or do anything, any help?

Thanks.

You bricked the touchscreen. Using a free generator which is - bad :( It can be fixed. I wrote a private message.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pestachero:
@sensorial Does it refer to the sync2 touch? Everything is apparently operational except the mirrorlink button. I just saw your private message, thanks for the files.

Should I delete the apps with a general reset before using their files?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
Master Reset won't do anything, just use the repair package I sent you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BUGGIE_X:
Sensorial . I have the CCPA model.. But it does not work.

Talking with my friend Alexander he said that the CCPW is the only one that works wirelessly for iPhone. I upgraded the package but the CCPA still does not work wirelessly. That's the why I am purchasing the CCPW.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lapipllo:
Thank you for answer.

What works the best for me is all binaries from Mirrorlink 4.6.14 except MobileNavigator.exe. I kept all data from 4.6.14 and just replace MobileNavigator.exe v4.4.32. Since this change I'm able to connect and connection is not dropped every few minutes - need to verify for a longer period of time but for now it looks good.

I've simply build my backage - it failed during installation, but I got TotalCommander and could easilly replace binaries I wanted. I found somewhere also newer version of the NAvitel - 9.13.66 and it also works good.

I'm looking somewhere WINCE600 to play with plugins, but I cannot find this SDK anywhere. Can you help me getting this installer?

As for Android auto, I agree with someone on this forum. Flickering is crazy, any solution for this. I've tried old version of android auto and gets the same result. Does the other carlinkkot works in the same way (CCPA)?

What about MIC for android auto. It stop working after AndroidAuto gets control over commands. I can say Hey Google which triggers voice commande, but after this mic is routed from Phone to Car hardware and do not fork further.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pestachero:
Everything is working now, thanks again for your time

My sync system is on 3.08 recommend upgrading to 3.10 ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
Exactly, only the Carlinkit CCPW version works wirelessly only with iPhones.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
You can update to the latest firmware 3.10, but you will have to re-upload the CarAuto package.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sensorial:
When using the older version 4.4.32, do you get a selection panel?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lapipllo:
Yes, pannel should be in zipped skins (my guess). I ve started to replace all config files and binary files except exe file. With all replaced file I got message no MOB client. Last attempt was to restore original 4.6.14 and replace only exe file and to my surprise I got connection and all menu stays the same.

Hi everyone and @sensorial,

I'm glad to report that our yellow box Carlinkit adapter on Sync 2 works together with external Wireless AA adapters.

I was able to connect Motorola MA1 adapter to Carlinkit adapter and Wireless Android Auto started working immediately. It is 60 euros, so I'm not going to keep it. Next step is to buy 20 euro Wireless AA adapter from AliExpress to see if that works too :)

Latency is very similar to what we have on Sync 2 already via cable, so not great not terrible. I haven't tested stability during longer routes yet.

You must have the CarAuto package loaded into SYNC2 - use the key to select AutoKit and connect to the Carlinkit adapter. send the serial number and I will prepare the package.

You need to connect Carlinkit with an OTG adapter to the phone's charging port and install the AutoKit.apk application and set the resolution.

APIM and ACM get ignition status from IPC on I-CAN bus. IPC is a gateway module and translates the ignition status from the BCM on the HS-CAN line.

Attached you will find all CAN messages (2013 Explorer, I can get other cars if need be). It will show the message, originating module, which can bus, and which module receives it. You will have to tap into the each CAN bus to figure out what the actual HEX message is. HS-CAN and MS-CAN can be tapped into from the diagnostic port. I-CAN you may have to dig to get to.

I also listed all control units and which bus they use, a map of all control units, and also a description of each CAN bus.

Guess my '15 F150 isn't supported yet. FORScan can "see" the APIM, but I cant get in to change the values :/

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] faucirt:
Awwww crap. Looks like they added it right after I downloaded 2.3.0 into the new beta. Got it now. On to the next issue.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] faucirt:
Got it working on my '15 F-150 in a little over a couple hours (I'm not totally illiterate, n00bs just need to put in the time). Carmax's site was actually an awesome resource when obtaining VINs w/known nav (and more importantly MFT). Changed the 7D0-01-02 to 040B-0204-806F, which is what all of the lariats showed. Still cant change the ACM or IPC, but looks good so far.

I know I'm late to the game, but thanks... this was a huge Systems Eng mistake made by Ford. Glad they left it open, and that you guys found it. Off to buy a nav card!
