1. Check what firmware version you have and write it down or take a picture.

2. Download the correct firmware

3. UNZIP the firmware

4. Copy the files inside the unzipped firmware folder to the root of a USB-stick - NOT THE FOLDER just the firmware files.

5. Then plug the USB stick into the head unit.

6. REBOOT the headunit

7. Go to System on your headunit

8. Choose System upgrade

9. Choose System local upgrade.

And let it do the upgrade. If this doesnt work do a factory reset/hard reset

i upload video where i do this steps but doesnt work, doesnt find the USB. And i askd for factory reset password they didnt give me one 123456 7890 and so on doesnt work.
[Android Head-Units] zk_eu:
Too bad it can't be changed. Thanks for the advice. :)
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Try 7890 and the hour for example if the time is 18:34 so do you use code 789018 but it should work with just 7890 also try 8888. Can you also tell me what firmware you using right now and have you tried both USB ports on your headunit?
[Android Head-Units] alan_garnica:
is it possible to install an equalizer.apk with more features, like the one from teyes?
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Try and tell, that's how community forums work
[Android Head-Units] Pitagoras2000:
it is possible to make something looking similar like this (I mean, Corsa in background) in TS10 landscape?

I would love to have that ;)

Right now I have default theme app from ilauncher
[Android Head-Units] Crazydodge:
Finally I managed to update my Android in the hope of solving a problem that has been affecting me for some time, that is that when I open the navigation apps, waze, maps and even an app for managing the Dashcam (but only in viewing the recorded videos) , the screen begins to make a thousand lines, sometimes after a long time from opening and in other cases, immediately!

As you can see, the problem does not occur with other apps, so much so that you just need to exit the applications that "flicker"

Does anyone know what it can depend on?
[Android Head-Units] Drahy:
I can confirm that update option is finally available with this version but when I try to update MCU it tries to update but never does... It installs something, restart the HeadUnit but version is still the same and update still offers... Anyone has the same issue?
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Thats strange - i myself have no problem upgrading the MCU. What i notice when i see your version is that it differs where your orginal version is com.tw.car and the new one is com.tv.carinfoservice. Have you been into the MCU update settings and changed anything?

Try to update under ABOUT and if thats what you have done test under FACTORY (code 8888) Car Choose.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
No its not possible to change the stock theme car picture in a easy simple way. The same with the blue wallpaper.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Try to do a factory reset - and if its still the same problem try to do a clean install of the firmware. Seems to be a software problem because like you wrote does it work until you use some apps.
[Android Head-Units] VoodooCeeJay:
I have just got an Android Head Unit. After playing about trying out different Apps, decided to do a factory reset.

I have checked the very bad user manual (Aliexpress unit) and it mentions DW / DYT and ZX models and I cant find any info that looks like that.

The MCU says TS10 1.1 and I want to update it.

Do I use TS10 1.2 or TS10 2.2 ?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] miguelcucaro:
Hello,

I was able to update the Head unit to TS10.1.2_20220721.111654_WINDOW-THEME1, But I couldn't installed the Zlink app? I was using Apk intaller and it tried to install it but it failed.

How can I install this app. My head unit came with Tlink, but it keeps dropping apple carplay. it works fine for about 10-15 min then it drops and after that it drops every minute or so. very annoying.

I contact the seller and the say it might be a signal... and told me to use the cable instead. but even with the cable it still disconnects. I feel that even when plugged it it still uses the wifi and bluetooth to connect.

I did connect the camera cable in the back of the head unit with the two little cables.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] miguelcucaro:
My understanding is that these number have to match. If you have a TS10 1.1, you need a TS10 1.1. There are hardware specific.

I read that in here a few post back if you want to confirm it.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Which version do you have on TLINK? and you cant install ZLINK without removing the installed TLINK. If you have a earlier version of TLINK installed like 1.5 so can you try with the newer ones and see if it helps (most people likes 1.89 version of TLINK best). ZLINK is not worth installing because there seems impossible to activate it but if you want to try so do you need to uninstall TLINK for it to work.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Like miguelcucaro already answered you, do you need the TS10 1.1 firmware you cant use the TS10 1.2 or TS10 2.2 versions. Also doublecheck its the right version for example have the 1.1 version THEME1-360 and if you have that one already installed so is it that one you need to download and install.
[Android Head-Units] VoodooCeeJay:
Thanks for your help. It was actually simpler as I found an update setting on the unit that downloaded the correct update. It was 1.2 that it updated to.
[Android Head-Units] miguelcucaro:
@CyberSwede Thanks for the quick reply.

I have the TLINK 1.9.5 version. I also tried the 1.8.9 and it was the same. I will reinstall it and give it a try again.

Have you heard of the v3.9.20 included that they are talking in here? https://xdaforums.com/t/list-of-tlink-versions-availables.4387577/post-86388447

Do you think is worth trying?

Thanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] orhan02:
My friends, to note, just turn off the protection for Google Play, and that is when I update or adjust the MCU settings, it will install the apk and protect Google Play, it sees it as a malicious program and erases it, and from here the problems begin
[Android Head-Units] jsutforfun:
This workt but only for developer settings not for factory, i try today more password to hard reset the device and install clean firmware
[Android Head-Units] jsutforfun:
So guys , factory reset workt for me and now i when i choise my car said problem with network connection , but i have internet (hot spot) and all apps workt , its donwloaded to 99 % 100 % and then fail
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
It doesnt damage anything trying different versions, just remember to do a reboot/restart after each install. I myself tried all versions i found both of TLINK and ZLINK and ended up with 1.89 of TLINK because it works best on my headunit but that doesnt mean its best one for you because even if we all have T10 headunits is it so many manufacturers that all made their own versions with preinstalled software and hardware.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
On your picture cant i see if you are connected to a WIFI hotspot or not, if you are not so open a hotspot on your mobilephone and connect your headunit to it. And do as orhan2 also wrote and try turnoff the Google Play protection and see if it works better.
[Android Head-Units] jsutforfun:
I am connected true hotspot i can downloadin apps and surfing but when its come to this update 99 % and said network problem
[Android Head-Units] Medo2018:
Try reset using RST button. If still not working, try resetting network, “settings-more-network”
[Android Head-Units] occams-razor:
Do the TS10 head units include a way to adjust the width and angle of the back camera parking guide lines like the FYT units so the lines match up with car? I sometimes have to deal with very tight parking situations.

I have an installed backup camera that does not display any built in lines so I rely on the head unit to make the lines when it is turn on.
[Android Head-Units] miguelcucaro:
Thanks again, I will try them and report the outcome...

I have another question, Is there a way to disable the internal mic and only leave the 3.5 mm mic working.

I looked everywhere and I wasn't able to find that option.

I tried with the app called Microphone amplifier because it has an option to switch mic. but it always uses both mics.

Thanks in adavance
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
There is many settings for the parking guide lines and the headunit have inbuilt lines. On my headunit does also dynamic guiding lines work perfect (when you turn the steering wheel will it also "turn" the guiding lines).
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
There should be in the menu "Hardware testing" and then "Audio" ....but the problem is that its seems impossible to get into that menu. I only managed it one time and was not able to do it again ...

You can try if you are lucky, first choose SETTINGS - FACTORY SETTINGS (code 8888 or try 123456) - USB settings (Might not be shown) - ENGINEERING MODE - Scroll right to HARDWARE TESTING

or try CAR SETTINGS - FACTORY SETTINGS (code 8888 or try 123456) - USB settings - OTHER (might not be shown) - ENGINEERING MODE - scroll right to HARDWARE Settings
[Android Head-Units] Medo2018:
Go to car selection in factory and choose general, it will install the new one com.tv.carinfoservice instead of the original version com.tw.car, apparently it is changed to pass the play protect issue, the new update will not show up again.
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
Yes, but the problem is that for most people will not GENERAL work because we have specific canbus settings. So this is not a working solution for me because no functions work in the car and when i put in the correct settings again so am i back to the same problem.
[Android Head-Units] Medo2018:
I thought if you go back to your canbus after GENERAL, the updated apk will remain unchanged, This needs a fix then.
[Android Head-Units] Volgera:
I can see they've re-enabled the OTA update in the last 1.2 fw version. Hope they also release this fix for V2 versions.
[Android Head-Units] Alex_hera:
Hello everyone, I discovered this thread and it has helped me a lot with my recent purchase from navistart on AliExpress of my ts10 tesla 6+128gb version, but I have some problems that I have not been able to solve I hope someone has had the same problem. My canbus model is configured in sail 15-17 and the controls at the wheel work well, only I have not been able to control the a/c from the screen, only through physical buttons can I set temperature, etc. and another problem is that the factory alerts of the car do not sound, for example the alert of the seat belt not fastened, leaving the keys on the switch Thank you and greetings to this great community.
[Android Head-Units] lissics:
I think AC control will work only if you have automatic AC, with manual it doesn't work. That's is the case in my car too, so decided to switch off AC controls from the screen.

Does anyone here has the latest firmware for KED15-GT-X version?

Probably it's the TS10.1.2_20220421.093525_KED15-GT-X

And another doubt is: If I'm using KED15-GT-X can I test a different version (THEME1 or WINDOW-THEME) for example?

Thanks in advance.

[Android Head-Units] adasci:
Hi all,

I have a problem with udpating my ts10 from Issudar. MCU update appears to be available, but when I click update (it is updating something) - after device restart version remains the same. Car Choice was noted by Google Protect as Harmfull so I disabled Protect at all, but still app is logged as harmfull in notification panel (why?). I tried to change CAN settings to general and then update works, but right after switching back to VW settings update is performed to previous version...

Is it possible that it fails somehow because I unchecked radio in configuration as I'm using NavRadio+?

IS there any option to set exclusion for this app?
[Android Head-Units] Drahy:
Hi,

I have tried that I even tried different other than general but I am not sure what to choose... Why are there so many option all having the same models? What should I choose to match my car model exactly?

I have Skoda Superb II 2012 - There are even always 2 Superb options Suberb 10 and Superb 13.

There are options like:

Hiworld

Raise

Simple Soft

QuDi

etc ...

They all have Superb 10 and Superb 13 - anyone understands why are so many there with the same options?

Even if I choose different ones - it installs something - but I always have the original com.tw.car application wanted to be updated ....
[Android Head-Units] Drahy:
That really worked for me just changing the cables for the bluetooth and wifi you can buy version with removable "endings" and switch them like this :) Thank you! Hope it will help someone as well :)

Android Auto now works as designed ... but radio cannot receive hotspot wifi signal from my phone now - need to resolve this as well to use Android Auto and use internet at the same time :)
[Android Head-Units] occams-razor:
You may need to add a fake proxy to you phone's WIFI connection settings to you head unit' SSID to get internet back. More than one phone seems to be affected.

I tried that but my unit does not allow me to select USB, only internal and even when I copy the files to the internal storage it doesn't work. My unit ask me to copy the file update.zip to the drive in order to update but nothing I tried have worked. someone mentioned shorting pin6 to ground in order to get update to run.

I believe you need to use V2 firmware. Version1 and WindowsTheme are for landscape oriented units.

[Android Head-Units] muasachi:
Hi,

I've updated to this version successfully, now I have a problem.

When I start the car the android unit will always launch default Navigation app that has been selected in Setting.

I can't go to home page or select any app at all, it will keep launching that app again.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Do you know if there is an option to dim buttons back light little bit? I have TS10 with physical and the lighting is to bright, There is and option called control back light voltage is Factory Settings but it is protected with password I do not know (123456,8888,1111 etc do not work).
[Android Head-Units] Drahy:
OK after a little bit of digging it seems we have to choose the first manufacturer in "car choose app" according to our CANBUS which was send with HeadUnit! See picture below...
[Android Head-Units] seninnha:
Thats correct. You must choose manufacture and then continue with Car brand and model. Some models come with AC controls and others without

Does anybody know the specific hardware differences between the 1.x vs 2.x Ts10 versions? I did notice some versions have optical outputs, but I don't know if they correspond to any specific version.
[Android Head-Units] DarkNekoRockman:
Hello There,

I read a lot of pages of this forum, but I didnt found same issue as I have.

I bought TS10 from aliexpress: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005003717846030.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2esp

Almost everything works fine, except the wifi:

When the device is ON, I configure the Wifi Network and I can navigate fine but after the device restarted I need to input again the password, again and again.

I already test with hotspot or other modems; same issue.

At very beggining was ok, so I proceed to configure the device, but now its make me crazy, beacause every trip i should configure my hotspot again and again.

The solution from dealer is to do factory reset, but I'm afraid to lost tlink activation (dealer takes too long time to activate it).

There is another way to fix it? If no, doing factory reset will solve issue?

Regards.!
[Android Head-Units] Medo2018:
Try network reset first. Settings-more-system-reset options
[Android Head-Units] DarkNekoRockman:
Thanks Medo2018.

Already reset network, but still with the issue.
[Android Head-Units] Medo2018:
Then go to factory 8888 or 123456, backup your apks first, then go to system- reset factory- password 7890, you will need to reinstall some apps again after resetting including tlink and it should be activated.

Don’t use the reset factory option inside “more”.
[Android Head-Units] VoodooCeeJay:
Hi. I have a new TS10 and have a few questions.

The unit will play video's when I am driving, not the best thing. Secondly, there is an option for the lights to follow the headlight setting,, this does not work. There is an option for the radar and doors to show on the unit, these do not work. Everything else seems to work fine.

I have attached all the wiring that came with the unit, but I have one plug that has nothing in the car to plug into it, then I have plugs in the car and nothing to plug it in.

Do I need to but a Canbus box for it. I have a Toyota Alphard, it's a Japanese import.
[Android Head-Units] mrbsound:
Having a small problem with my new JMCQ T10-1 4/32 version, still on the bench, after a MCU update and thru a maze to get a Mazda boot logo, now reboots get "The system is about to enter upgrade mode" "Cancel or Confirm" box over the Factory Settings page, then reboots as initially expected, and I can't seem to find where to turn off this upgrade mode.

I noticed the T10-1 has stored some files on the USB stick (plugged at the 4Pin "D" Cable), and rebooting without the USB stick plugged in allows a normal boot, so my question is:

Which file on the USB stick (last pic) starts the undesired "Upgrade mode"?
[Android Head-Units] Sarsbucket:
My best guess is the ts10.cfg file. I had a similar experience and that was the culprit. It almost acts like a batch file and is ran upon boot.

I noticed you have an android version 11 unit too, I wonder if that's real or not. I don't think these units run anything past 10. Can you find the API level number?
[Android Head-Units] Drahy:
Still nothing sadly ... only Engineering mode I can get is under 123456 in Factory setting and there is no Hardware Testing just Hardware but no Audio option to change mic... I have Developer Option enabled and latest version of 1.2 Firmware Windows1
[Android Head-Units] Medo2018:
Just create a new folder on the usb and move all the files inside that folder, you only need them in case you need to restore after factory erase.
[Android Head-Units] mrbsound:
I did look into the ts10.cfg folder but it was empty, but I suppose an empty folder itself could key an action, I'll pull the folder and check boot anyway.

My check of Android version resulted in inconclusive results:

CPU-Z says Android 11 API 30

DevCheck says Android 11 API 29

I must find another file manager, have been using Asus File Manager, which gets the boot as soon as it opens on this unit.
[Android Head-Units] Sarsbucket:
Its probably API 29 then. You can try looking with AIDA as well. I use X-Plore for searching the file system.

[Android Head-Units] arca114@gmail.com:
Hello, is it possible to install TS10 updates on a Mekede as well or vice versa.
[Android Head-Units] Sarsbucket:
@CyberSwede

I installed that latest firmware, and I am happy with it so far. It saved all my info and settings which saved me time. I like some of the added functions, like being able to choose wich apps are not closed upon sleep. I still cant get any of my doors to display as being open, those may not be part of the canbus on my car though. Its a nicer looking layout that is definitely more simple to use. I think the firmware got my mic working as well. I don't use it alot but I don't think it worked before and that is why they sent me an external mic? Lol, idk.

Anyway, thank you again!
[Android Head-Units] VoodooCeeJay:
Do you have a canbus box installed. The head unit can probably only decode certain things and needs a canbus for your car. I have the same problem with the doors not being displayed. Ended up ordering a canbus, so I hope that solves the problem when it arrives.
[Android Head-Units] Sarsbucket:
No, I do not. As long as my steering wheel controls work, im happy. There really isn't anything else in my car that it could control or detect so I don't personally need one. It shows my headlights being on though, which is nice. Maybe if I can find one for cheap 🤷‍♂️
[Android Head-Units] VoodooCeeJay:
I have a Toyota Vellfire and managed to get one off AliExpress for £30. Then you set the canbus setting in the factory settings and it gives you more options.

i want to install below home screen, can you please advice which version is to be installed.

my current version is as shown below
[Android Head-Units] CyberSwede:
The problem with the themes is that all manufacturers of TS10 have their own mix of preinstalled stock themes that differs. The theme you show a picture of (seems to be MEKEDE) is not standard for mine (see picture below of my units stock theme).
