Hi,

My device is Isudar CP36 (QCM6125 / 4GB / 64 GB).

After firmware update - my device start loading gui and after few seconds freeze and restart.

After restart it displays as QUSB_BULK and nothing happens.

It looks like bricked.

I try to use MT to make factory restet.

Device is correctly recognised as Qloader 9008.

I see it on device list in MT.

When I click start button (for any option: read partitions or factory restet) it shows:

Connection to Phone, Wait...

Done.

CPUID: Xx001750E1

>> CPU: 0x001750e1

I suppose I should have proper firehose file for my device.

Could somebody help me with this. Or it is different method to fix my device.

Hi, maybe someone found new firmware for this box ? I have PLC-S21 version with QCM6125.

The seller from Aliexpress sent me the newest firmware file (Attached), after the successful upgrade everything is ok so far, still testing. The attached firmware for PLC-S21 box version with Snapdragon QCM6125.

Good morning, is it possible to make calls with the Carplay ai box CP38 without a registered mobile phone only from the box (maybe via an app; I've already tried various apps from Playstore, but unfortunately without success. I have a data and telephone tariff). Thanks greetings
[Android Head-Units] mrbogusbaxter:
i use cpc-200 on my 2020 corolla, it does enable the tbox hotspot.

This is because the box offers 2 ways to use;

(1) Android Auto or

(2) Solo Unit with standalone OS / SIM enabled.

the hotspot is turned on for any or both choices to always communicate in the background.

Sometimes I use both (have solo SIM CARD) for option 2. Going back and forth pending if I have my mobile on me.

Though i prefer to use (#2)

easier and unlocked to use what ever app you feel like
[Android Head-Units] mrbogusbaxter:
yes go into settings on box, look for auto startup. if you use android auto , you also need to go into AA settings and choose option for startup.

Settings < Bootup App
[Android Head-Units] RoarinRo:
Thanks for confirming that this hotspot option is doing what it is supposed to do. I don't have Android Auto but somehow the unit doesn't seem to always remember I wanted it on or off, so mine appears to have a random bug. Like today, it did not notify me that hotspot was disabled, but yesterday it reminded me twice. Oh well, just a few more clicks here and there.

Guys, where can I find the latest firmware version for ApplePie mini? Im about to try it on the Carlinkit AI box mini (cpc200)

Thanks

Thanks, but I mean the Android 9 interface, not Android Auto. I would just prefer the AI box interface not to appear in my cars screen automatically upon starting the engine until I prefer to show it. But maybe thats not possible?

I have an android box (Model PLC-S21 QCM6125) and I can't seem to get any of the updates to work. I have tried several. The update file is detected and when I press 'Install' it reboots and the blue light flashes like it's supposed to. However, it never starts back up. It just keeps flashing. I've left it for over an hour before unplugging and booting back up. Unfortunately update never applies. I check the SD card and there's a bunch of files extracted on there. Seems like it installed everything to SD card instead of the dongle itself?

I checked settings under build number and it specific lists 'NA' at the end. Do I need specific firmware for North America? Thanks.

Hi dears only to advice, if you are from America do not install the update with date 30.05.2022 for CPC-200-tbox (android 9 box) it generates playstore continuous force close and Install some bloatware, I think it must be an update for Asia. Until to day for me the best software version is from 26.04.2022.

What is the best ? isudar cp36q or applepiemax?? Or other?
[Android Head-Units] davpel:
I have the Isudar 6125 box and have been trying to update the firmware.

I put the update.zip in root, put the SD card in the box and I get the prompt asking if I want to update (including the wipe option). I select update, it says rebooting and then . . . nothing. I wait as long as 20 minutes and the box never reboots. If I unplug it and then plug it back in, it boots and is on the same old firmware.

I've tried several different firmware update files from different dates, different SD cards, everything . . . same result.

Any ideas?

Looks like they removed the 26.02.2022 version and put a new 30.05.2022, which now works for me. The previous version changed all my settings/language to Chinese and it appeared it was for the ApplePie box and not the CPC-200 TBOX. I finally got my TBOX CPC-200 restored/upgraded and working again. Whew!

Which model did you get? how is it so far? specially the audio quality when you play media?

and what android version did it have?
[Android Head-Units] zaid.oj:
Hello everyone,

I received my new CP-308 device yesterday, and after testing it i were really disappointed, there are so many issues which i hope you guys have some information on how to solve them biggest issues are:

1. Its very slow and flickery and buggy! it takes long time to load the maps and videos

2. while running the screen becomes black and stops responding, i had to restart it many times

3. when i connect my phone using Android Auto the resolution is low and blury and big audio lag from connected mobile

4. When i play music the audio quality is very bad, its mono, its being played on the car as if it was a phone call not media

i think all those issues are software fixable so if they can be fixed! specially number 3, 4

I noticed that whatever newer fimrware I try to install (by putting the firmware as update.zip on an SD, update is detected and device reboots to start the actual update), the update process never actually installs the never firmware. After a couple minutes, when I unplug and replug the device it still runs the firmware I had installed before.

Is there a way to work around this? Do I need to downgrade to a certain version?

I read in the Telegram channel that several people had the same behavior but never read about how to fix it.

[Android Head-Units] nthydro:
I had the exact same issue and tried multiple firmware versions until I found one that worked. If you look under 'Build Number' in Settings it should tell you at the end which region your current firmware is (NA, EU, ect). Mine is NA. I was able to find one that specified it was the NA version thanks to the links on the first page. I'm guessing the previous ones I tried that failed were for other regions.

have to setup navigation on setting function. belong to your device, you should find this function on setting >> ottocast setting... You must chose GG maps or Waze is navigation apps.
[Android Head-Units] bliznik:
Oh, I actually resolved this. It's a weird setting in Google Maps and in Waze on these devices. I'm unsure why it works this way.

In Waze, the default setting is Settings->Voice & Sound->Play sound to phone speaker. With these boxes, if this flag is turned on, the box will pipe any sound playing through your speakers through a different, filtered mode, and then will output the navigation instruction, and then will pipe the sound playing through your speakers through the normal mode.

If you turn off Settings->Voice & Sound->Play sound to phone speaker, the device won't do that anymore.

In Google Maps, the default setting is Settings->Navigation Settings->Google Assistant settings->Hey Google->While driving is turned on by default. The same behavior will occur when this flag is turned on. If you turn this flag off, then the device won't do that anymore.

Strangely, this doesn't occur in all cars, only in some cars. It must be an issue with the way the device communicates with the car via Apple Carplay. Very weird behavior.
[Android Head-Units] mrbogusbaxter:
Yes, you can. Go into settings and look for boot-up option/startup option. You should see an option names for your head unit or car entertainment system.

what is the firmware version date ? android 10 ? can u take a shot?
[Android Head-Units] ice_coffee:
I don't know if you're still looking for an answer to this but it's happening because Google assistant is seizing the microphone as soon as you start route guidance. This forces the Ai Box to route audio as though it were a (mono) phone call rather than (stereo) media. The fix is to go in to Maps settings --> navigation settings --> Google assistant settings --> general --> hey/ok Google detection and toggle off for "while driving"

According to the blurb this also toggle also affects other mapping apps that use ok Google detection eg Android auto

Does anybody else have an issue with multi touch. I have a 2019 Audi with the 10" touchscreen. But my Qualcomm SDM450 based box (Apple pie clone) only allows 1 touch at a time. I can't even pinch zoom in Google maps. 🤷
[Android Head-Units] ice_coffee:
Never mind the answer is in the FAQ in short it's because APPLE 🙄

By the way to zoom in maps you can double tap and hold and slide. There are better instructions in the FAQ.

Word of advice, to prospective buyers, the Qualcomm based units seem to be the best and fastest. Although not without their quirks, and the piesettings APK (see FAQ) is a must, if you want to get the best out of this unit.

I have a joyeautos MMB Box, bought from a third party online. I have it fully setup but it will not play any sound in my Audi A5 2017. I have tried it in my wife's VW and it works perfectly fine there so wondering is there a setting a need change on it or on the car itself to allow the sound to come through. The sound works fine in the car when using the normal plug in car play.

[Android Head-Units] PolestarNick:
Hi All, thank you for all of your posts, i've very much enjoyed reading trough them and I got a lot smarter into these units because of it.

I recently bought a Carlinkit CPC-200 T-box to use in my Polestar 2, which just recently received Carplay functionality through an OTA software update. I though I was clever to order this carplaybox but I can't seem to get it to work.

It works fine when I tried it in a Ford Focus and a Renault Kadjar from friends but in my car the box is recognised by the car, but then it restarts itself, this happens over and over.

I read that when first plugging it in it checks the screen resolution and then restarts itself in the correct screen dimensions, I was thinking it might be that the resolution in the Polestars screen isn't in the list of possible dimensions for the carplaybox. and that it keeps rebooting as a result.

I've also tried several software updates, none which had any effect so far. I noticed there is a new CPC-200 update (2022-07-04) which I haven't tried yet. this is on the TF card now, but I have to install it through a friends car every time :cautious:.

If that doesn't work I want to try the applepie firmware with Piekitchen.

and if that doesn't work I am out of idea's.

If anyone has any ideas please tell me, I am eager to get this going.

May 30th update is so stable to me, maybe you can try it. Enter to autokit web site and Tbox section and push "see more". I have the AI box carlinkit CPC-200
