i copied the 3.5.54 apk to the /oem..directory, 644 rights by default, rebooted and can't be found anywhere as a standalone app that can be ran.

how do you use it?

Guys,

I cant seem to install zlink in my unit. I am on Hal’s mod (Android 9.0) . I got the new apk from here and copied to “Oem/persistent/“ and even changed the permissions of the apk and the folder but zlink doesn’t seem to pop up in app gallery. When I try to install it from “appinstaller” , it fails with the old and new version of the apk. Any idea what to do next?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
For the app.to be unhidden you must activate the carplay option on factory settings.

For the zlink app to work you must have zlink hardware (carplay usb dongle or zlink hardware integrated into motherboard) otherwise it will not work.

HI there ,

can you please help me out??

I own a T3L android headunit and I don't have neither tlink or zlink and I really would like to get Carplay on it.

So I would like to know if this Zlink app would be working on my T3L Headunit.

Thank you.

So I just replaced my android head unit with better screen (the new one has 2000x1200 resolution) with the same 9 inch size. While it shows very sharp screen however it splits the AA interface horizontally instead vertically 😵‍💫 (maps top and bottom media instead side by side). I guess its dpi setting issue. On apple carplay no issue.

I tried to look up the settings in the zlink 5 app but no luck. Perhaps someone manage to find a solution to change the dpi setting on zlink app?

Btw I tried head unit reloaded it does shows AA interface correctly, I prefer the zlink since connecting the phone is more seamless process.

Hi all,

I have also recently upgraded my screen to an android one (android 12) where zlink 5 is installed, but I am having a weird issue with the sound. When it boots up, it connects to wireless AA. Youtube music plays properly and I can hear the navigation voice. Once the music stop and plays again, I cannot hear the navigation sound anymore. Google maps and waze both have the same problem.

If I stop playing the music, then I can hear the navigation sounds again.

Anyone else have the same issue?

Besides, until I hear the first navigation sound, the quality of the sound is better, as soon as a navigation sound pops in, the sound quality degrades quite a lot.

Not sure if it's an android auto or zlink issue though. Tried already clearing the cache and data for all the relevant apps on the phone.

Thanks
[MTCD Android Head Units General] dabuum666:
Hi there. It is an Android Auto app issue. For now only thing that can fix the bad quality after notification is to downgrade your phone app to 9.9.6326 version. Hope this helps

As your unit is not mtcd you can not use a zlink version for mtcd units...you have to look for your platform compatible zlink version

Hi everyone! I tried replacing Zlink5 into Scout Rom running Zlink4, the result is that Zlink5 cannot connect to the phone. I tried installing the Scout rom first and Rooted it, then I overwrote the Max10 Rom and replaced Zlink5, as a result Zlink5 runs stably. But there is a problem coming from Scout Launcher, switching song has double input. Does anyone have any ideas for fixing double input? It seems that Zlink5 has a separate link to the system settings (Settings app), so I will try replacing Settings app from Max10 Rom to see if Zlink5 can connect. Installing an Android version over an other different version seems to be quite a hassle.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
I think the latest scout rom comes with zlink5.

Which version of scout rom do you have?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KhangTran476:
Oh, I cannot flash the lastest Scout for my HU, I don't know why keep show Error7 in recovery. I go from v2.1 Scout and update to lastest from OTA. Anything to avoid that error.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Pavel-71:
There is a solution to the Status 7 error, you have to reinstall recovery using IMG and then the required OTA update should install. #44
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KhangTran476:
I was using Mod Installer 2 from Hal9k and reinstall Recovery 10. After that I still cannot install directly the lastest Scout rom provide by Dasaita page. Keep showing the Status 7 error.

------------

Can you show me step by step to fix it? I don't know how to reinstall Recovery using IMG file and where I can get it. Do you have any Social Network to easy to contact?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Pavel-71:
If you have Mod Installer 2, I would proceed as follows:

Install android 9 recovery

Install android 9 OTA update

Reinstall with Mod Installer 2 recovery android 10

And now it should go install the latest Scout OTA.

If you don't have Mod Installer 2, the recovery is installed only with the IMG of Android 10, using the RKDevTool or FactoryTool, more here: #1
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KhangTran476:
I using Mod Installer 2 to install Recovery Android 9, now the screen only black. How about it?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Pavel-71:
Now enter recovery and install OTA android 9, the choice is yours: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/umCvHqCDzHccr

Here is a video tutorial:

Enter recovery:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KhangTran476:
Screen not show anything, tried to enter recovery after LED blinking, but not enter to recovery. After using Mod Installer 2, screen only Black after click install Android 9 Recovery.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Pavel-71:
Then just install the IMG in the already mentioned way, read the thread #1 and here are the videos:

OTG:

MicroSD:
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KhangTran476:
Is it any way to reinstall Recovery using USB or OTG if the screen is black?

Many try using OTG to flash IMG of Recovery 10 and reinstall Android 10 IMG, but screen only show backlight not show any android booting.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Pavel-71:
Since the Modinstaller failed, you are not the first case by the way, so you have no other choice but to try. Then there is one last option, but you have to adjust the USB cable: #1
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KhangTran476:
I can flash IMG from OTG method. But the screen keep show black at all.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
You are describing SDcard Method. Many have not used OTG and failed, it always works. Only modinstsller is risky and may end in softbricks.

OTG is hardware flashing - and always works unless the SOM is defective.

I've had one SOM out of many that have truly been dead.

If your unit is bootlooping, SOM is recoverable by OTG method.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KhangTran476:
Yes, I connected my Head Unit to the Laptop using the USB-A cable, used the driver and software as instructed, and then I used a toothpick to poke the "reset" switch to put the HU into recovery, then My laptop heard the connection sound and the software announced it was connected. I flashed the HCT7 Android 10 Rom again but then my HU rebooted and only showed the panel light and backlight. The Android 10 logo does not appear at all. Tried to connect HDMI out to 2nd monitor, the 2nd monitor show the same with the HU's monitor.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Hi, the unit sounds like the MCU is timing out and resetting the SOM during the flash.

You could try booting into recovery and applying an OTG to get around that.

Refer my OTG threads, this is off topic.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] KhangTran476:
Hi everyone! I flashed Dasaita's original img again and everything is back to normal. Because I previously flashed an img that did not include Recovery. I contacted Dasaita and they provided me with a new rom image. Now I can install Scout lastest verision and no more Status 7 error show up.

Zlink was not installed on the device, I installed it myself, at first the APK was installed, but the application did not open and was not visible, then I deleted an application called Zlink activation from the file manager, then the Zlink application was installed and opened, but it gives an error. When Android Auto is run, can't we install the original one? Thanks in advance

Hello, I have seen that there are many nice people here who can help. I bought my Headunit with Zlink function and it worked for two years. Recently I've been having connection errors and wanted to uninstall and reinstall Zlink. Since then, Zlink is no longer active and can no longer be activated in wifi. I have already contacted the seller, but he won't help me. Is there another way to activate Zlink? I don't want to buy a new head unit again.

I bought the headunit from "Wondefoo". I put a picture from the actual Zlink here. Is it helpful for you?

I came to ask about the excact same thing.

I'm also on the same version, but I suspect my Android headunit (K706) 10.33" screen comes with 1600x720px resolution, but in the zlink app it says "DISPLAY 1600x720-1280x576". So it seems it's scaling it wrong?

What is the correct Can Box protocol I should use, because I cannot find none for this car model (Morning 2018)?

Usb is not recognizing any device while plugged in (Only have one usb slot)?

I have an MTCE head unit and installed the latest update from my vendor (px5_13-0_20230919_2024-05-20_1023.zip) which included Zlink. My car didn't have this before and only had a screen mirroring app available beforehand. When I go onto Zlink it then says MFi chip missing and the app requires activation. I only want to use it for Android Auto so shouldn't need the MFI chip. I have tried connecting to wifi a number of times but it never activates. Is there any other way? Attached picture is of the specs before I updated to latest firmware.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Pavel-71:
In order for Zlink to work, you must have an integrated adapter or an external USB adapter. Contact the seller, maybe he has something on offer. Or try: HeadUnit Reloaded #1
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Yazza007:
I've used HeadUnit Reloaded before and while it works to some extent, I could never get the audio to come through the head unit, only through the phone speaker. The external USB adapter for Zlink, do you have any recommendations?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Pavel-71:
For example, on my Isudar, he had to buy a K-Box, unfortunately the sale was discontinued. If your dealer doesn't have anything like that, then some adapter designed for car radios with Android, for example Carlinkit CCPA. But I personally don't have anything like that.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Yazza007:
So, just so I understand, I need to have some hardware already installed in my head unit to allow Zlink to work, and if not, then I need a suitable USB adapter but we aren't sure if these are available. Is this correct?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Pavel-71:
Yes
