I'm confuse, can we put all the updates with version on a repo,?
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
I will upload all the softwares I have to Mega so the dates are displayed.

So I cannot upload it to Mega and share the whole folder. Will try make changes so I can.

Should be there already. Download the latest one.

Anybody know of a storage repo I can use to upload the updates for free?

Hola, creo que esta vez lo hice bien.

He subido el último proporcionado por el vendedor.

I will test your update tomorrow on a radio to verify what the date on that update is.

The one I uploaded on this post is 25112021 (25 November 2021).
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
This is correct and the latest version. All looks correct. Why do you think it is not correct?
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
because I installed the seller's update and yours appears or they are the same.

when you can check it.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
I will update a test unit of mine and verify it now for you. 30min or so and I will post the differences.
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
Ok thanks you
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
The Aliexpress rom does not work with my radio. It says the version I am trying to install is older then the version currently on the radio. See the image attached.

If somebody has a older radio to test with, that could work. It does mean though the the update I posted with date 25/11/2021 is newer.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
According to the error messages, you update is dates 11 September 2019 (Unix timestamp to date).

My update accord to the error shows date as 19 March 2020.

But I know the firmware I gave here shows date when checking car settings as 25 November 2021. I have seen a lot of updates as they changed it from the old firmware to the new one. It is a lot quicker and more stable.
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
I have already seen it.

You are right it is K2001 letter O for android 8.

I have told the seller to send me another valid update for the unit since mine is android 10 letter Q.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
How did you check the update is for a K2001O?

[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
kavirz you have a radio apk that displays station names large.

I went back to the previous one that I have because I see them better
[Android Head-Units] agungagz:
Hi Kavirz! Thank you for this. I have successfully updated my head unit using the update file from you.

Just curious, why the UI style in this version only has 3 style, while the previous version has 11?

and then another question, any tips on how to make this headunit faster and more responsive? the google maps is so slow to load.

thank you
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
Unfortunately do not have the APK for the radios. I do not normally keep them seperately.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
In regards to the styles, it is based on the firmware and it depends on the manufacturer that compiles the firmware. The previous version had a different look to car settings and they had a lot more theme styles but I cannot get updates from them anymore. The newest firmware is from my long term manufacturer and it does mean I can get firmware quite often with no issues.

In regards to making it faster, the firmware itself is pretty quick but think it is based on the ram on your unit. All units I keep are 2gb ram and 32gb onboard storage. I have never seen a radio being slow from browing around to anything else. What is your specs?
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
I can't get the radio or music to work with car or fcc launcher.

how can I do it?
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
If I did not mention it in this thread, launcher cannot be changed. If you do, when you hit back button in Radio/Music/Video apps, it goes back to the last set theme instead of the new launcher. I do not know of a way to fix this and thus suggest using the launcher included in the firmware. Changing it will cause the above issue.
[Android Head-Units] agungagz:
Same with mine— it’s 2/32GB.

Oh btw, after updating, my rear camera doesn’t work. It says “No signal” when my car is in “R” position. Any clue how to make it works again?
[Android Head-Units] agungagz:
The only way is to change the default “home” in the settings. I’m able to do it with Automate Car launcher
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
2/32gb should be quick. Never tested the Google Maps application though. Maybe due to internet connection, it is taking long.

To fix the rear camera, put the car in reverse position, hold 5 fingers on the screen and browse to the right menu at the top. You will see an option that allows you to change which camera type it is set to and change it to one that works. Then hit Save/OK and you should be sorted out.

Other option is to do it in Factory Settings but easier the way above as you can test it while in that menu and you don't have to restart the unit to confirm which one it is.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
But when using the original radio/music/video app, does it go to the new launcher or the original launcher? I noticed even with changing the default launcher, it should went to the original launcher when going back from those apps. Think it is hard coded in the apps itself which is why changing the launcher does not work well.
[Android Head-Units] agungagz:
Wow that “hold 5 fingers” method is really cool 😂 it works, thank you!

Another Q— how do you improve the sound quality? Bcs the sound quality way better on the original radio.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
When you say on the original radio, do you mean the factory radio? I know on most factory radio's, the sound is not as clear or good compared to an upgraded radio even with the original speakers in place.

Play around with DSP/EQ to try make the sound quality a bit better. It should out perform the original radio.
[Android Head-Units] agungagz:
Yes, the one that coming with the car itself.

Hmm alright then— in my case, i still find my original radio has a better sound. Or— it’s me who dont understand to set the EQ properly 😅
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
EQ can take a long time to setup. Also, if the car is 4 doors, set the sounds one back so that the back speakers get a little more volume/sound. Back speakers are normally better quality. Try tweeking it till you get the desired sound output. The chip included with the device could be faulty or a lower quality chip as well.
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
could you share your apk which you use to connect OBD.

I have seen that the obd is connected to the radio but not the obd to the car and everything works correctly with the mobile.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
I have not tested the APK in a really long time since my vehicle is at the mechanic. You can try the version from below:

elm327

The above link doesn't work anymore. I will check up later.
[Android Head-Units] Srsuri:
is not working anymore :(, I have a mechanic kia soul and I uses to have dashcommand for the fuel consuption...( and the pretty nice gauges)
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
I will only be able to test it once my car comes back which is at the end of this month.

I know Torque pro used to work but haven't had a car to test it on since the new update.
[Android Head-Units] Srsuri:
did you test it?
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
I will only be able to test it maybe by month end.

Go to elm327.com and download the torque pro apk as that one should work.
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
Hello, do you know if I can change a 6851 tef chip for a 6588??

hello, do you know of any radio app for this model that shows station logos, the only one I found was navradio but it doesn't work for ours.
[Android Head-Units] wings35:

I use this app that is compatible, it is not as nice as the one from kraviz but I can change stations more easily.
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
I guess you wouldn't save the radio, music, phone, etc. apps. they are usually compatible with updates from what I have seen.
[Android Head-Units] wings35:
no no i mean that the radio came from update is not good for me. i didnt like it because it is very hard to set exact frequency so i need a new version.
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
you can download the app that I have left you and tell me if it works well for you and you like it
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
If you want to reinstall the original you have now, tell me and I will send it to you as well.

Been working hard and got a new update...

811.96 MB file on MEGA

Interesting changes I have noticed:

New Radio app.

UI Theme can now be controlled by its own app.

New update based on 20211224.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
The only major issue I see with the Radio app is that after you restart the radio, all radios stations are lost. Anybody else experience this? Or does nobody listen to the radio? haha
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
Kraviz, I don't know how you do it. Every three days I claim it to the seller and there is no way. Congratulations on your effort to get them. Thank you
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
I recommend the update works quite well.

improvements I have noticed in my unit.

OBD2 connects at last.

GPS connects quickly.

and kavirz I have no problems with the radio app, it works perfectly for me and the station names are appreciated.

change ui theme without having to go through factory mode.

I like it a lot, thank you very much
[Android Head-Units] wings35:
i have same issue...
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
I don't have it on reset. in the sleep option I have it closed.

That's probably why I haven't experienced the problem.
[Android Head-Units] tristan_1022:
Is there a way to get the android 10 firmware but in IMG format?
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
Unfortunately not. No manufacturer wants to release the IMG format for some reason. They claim not to have it which could be possible if the board comes pre-flashed with the firmware. The IMG file will allow upgrading of Android though so if you do run into it, please do share it.
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:

[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
Are you able to browse to factory settings? Go through the options there as you can change the screeen type and resolution there. Maybe plug in a mouse to help you browse to there if touch screen is not aligned properly.

Yes, I was able to access the factory settings, but I did not find any option to modify the display resolution. Can you help me to get to that?

[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
let's have, install aida64 and see what resolution your unit has from there we will know what the resolution problem is and maybe kavirz has an update.

If not, you may need to contact your unit vendor to see if they can send you an upgrade or original to resolve the issue.

All the updates that kavirz uploads are legit as he tests them on several units before publishing them.
[Android Head-Units] sultan88s:
This is a screenshot of the app
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
You have 1024x600 and 7"

install the update is from the forum and mark recover in the box if it works,

mine is that resolution but 10" and it works perfectly.

also try system restore
[Android Head-Units] Jose cx5:
settings - screen. do you have it in full screen? or have you touched something from there
[Android Head-Units] sultan88s:
no there is no option to control the screen resolution

i had this issue after applying apdate.zip

give me a link to a suitable update for me please
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
Let me test to see if I can find the option to change screen resolution. I know it is there somewhere in factory settings.

Apoloiges but all the units I do are not the same resolution as yours.
[Android Head-Units] sultan88s:
Thanks my friend, I am waiting for you
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
I don't see an option on how to change the screen resolution. You will have to speak to the seller where you got your radio and ask for original firmware or an update. I will ask to see if there is a way but doubt it.

Is any posibility to chenge the default music player, and it can be integrated yn the theme? Because i nstalled Aimp, but in the main screen when i click play the same default theme player always start.

Other question, in the default music player is posible to change the album media, or select/create visualization plugins? Becasue i have always in all my mp3 the same disk cover :-( I attach a screen capture..
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
No way to change the theme music player. The link to the music player is built into the theme so there is no option to change it.

Create an icon with the music player you want on the main screen and open it directly. The only way to do it right now that works.
[Android Head-Units] andrescousillas:
Thank you Sir, i suppose that, i need you to confirm it
[Android Head-Units] stcjournyman:
can someone help me figure out how to get my h/u to recognize or install the update ? I downloaded the latest link and I've tried adding it to my flash drive both with files extracted and just the zipped folder placed them in the root of the device after I formated and cleared the USB and when I put it in the h/u it shows the drive in my file explorer as update zip but when I go to system settings update it doesn't allow me to hit start update I have the k2100q jyt etc......
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
If the file is called update.zip in Windows with file extentions showing, then that is correct.

Go to car settings, system settings and then system update. It should say there is a file at the location. Got the update button twice and it should start.

File explorer should allow the file at update.zip as well. If it doesn't allow that, maybe check to see if installation restrictions are set on your radio. To do that, go to factory setting (16176699), customized settings on the left, and scroll towards the bottom. Check for installation restrictions or something like that. Make sure it is not enabled.
[Android Head-Units] stcjournyman:
ok what are file extension?
[Android Head-Units] stcjournyman:
this is what it says
[Android Head-Units] stcjournyman:
no restrictions set
[Android Head-Units] stcjournyman:
it says it's a k2101 here does that matter ?
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
No it doesn't. Even if the radio is not the same, the update should work and on restart, it should say incorrect/incompatible model. It should always still try.

Please help me get ROOT by installing update.zip. Here is update.zip: update.zip
[Android Head-Units] albie0803:
My unit came with a ui that had a speed display on it (from gps) that seems to have been customised for the supplier. When I upgraded to your latest update.zip that ui was not available. Can custom ui's be added in (if I can find it) or do they have to baked into the update?

We have the same unit at work, could I copy the ui off it?
[Android Head-Units] albie0803:
Is there an apple carplay apk that can be loaded on this head unit?
[Android Head-Units] Murcielago_L:
I don't have the original firmware. Now I have the firmware from update.zip installed, which I linked to earlier.
[Android Head-Units] Murcielago_L:
Maybe I do not understand correctly what is at stake, because I am from Ukraine and I communicate through google translator. Yesterday I still managed to install ROOT. To do this, I took boot.img from the update.zip file, then patched it with magisk, and then copied this file to the device using the "adb push ..." command in mmcblk0p4 via wifi. ROOT obtained, android 10.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
I have never needed to root so have not looked at rooting thus far. You can experiment at your own risk for root.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
UI is built into the update.zip so it cannot be changed. Side loading a Launcher is also problematic on these radios. Best is to use one of the ones included. You can check UIStyle app or check in factory settings (16176699) and then style settings (111333) and you can try each of them.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
If your unit came with it, then yes, it is supported. The ZLink app will show on your radio.

After the update, go to Car settings->Defaultsetting->Interconnection settings. Change that to car play and see if ZLink appears. If it does, connect to wifi and open the app. It should activate successfully. If it keeps throwing an error, it means the radio is missing the chip that supports car play functionality.
[Android Head-Units] albie0803:
Thanks kavirz for your replies. The Zlink app is up and running ok, I was just wondering if there was a better one.

Too bad about the ui, my wife really liked the speedo that was included with the original ui but never mind. I'll go with the updated system being the better thing.
[Android Head-Units] agungagz:
Hi kavirz,

do you have the original or stock rom of this radio? I just realized after months using this updated rom, the original one is better.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
Stock rom, you will have to contact the company you got it from and ask them.

I'm not sure if you will be able to go back to stock as there is a date check when updating as far as I am aware. Also, most sellers send it with the latest rom available to them at the time of the sale. So if you buy the same item a few times over a few weeks, the rom that it comes with will be different.
[Android Head-Units] agungagz:
Yeah, you’re right. So my problem right now is whenever I open spotify, it always crash after the splash screen. Any advice about it? Previously on the original rom it works fine
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
I have not tried to use Spotify on any of the units. Let me test it over the next few days and advise.
[Android Head-Units] agungagz:
Thank you Kavirz! Really appreciate

Hi

Hi Kaverz,

I just tried to update using this file, but it’s error. The details is on the image. What happened?
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
Redownload and try again. If it is older then the one on the radio, it will say the update is older and fail. This one says verification failed meaning the file got damaged during download or something.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
Send a screen shot of the current rom on the unit. It is in car settings and shows the date.
[Android Head-Units] agungagz:
Got it. It works now, the problem is the usb drive. Thanks!

Hi karz, turns out the spotify issue is gone in the updated firmware. Thank you!

I upodated my Binize radio purchased on Amazon to this version today. Binize confirmed in the QA section on Amazon that it is the T3. I was happy to see the speedometer on UI1 can be chainged from KM to miles by touching the speedometer. I also have the Agame launcher loaded for my wife and it works well with our unit. It is set as default in the android settings AND, under desktop settings it appears as an option. When checked, the radio defaults to Agame on strartup, with the Home button, and when using the back button from the radio.
[Android Head-Units] kavirz:
That must be new. I just got back my vehicle so haven't had time to test whether Agama is now supported but it is good to see that it has been updated and it is supported.

Thank you for this message and I will now test Agama on T3 chipset. Been asking for this functionaility from the beginning and it is good to see that it is now supported.

Thank you kavirz, you helped me a lot. I recently bought a unit and a lot of features were locked and overall very slow. I installed the zip that you send to cx5 on my 1024 x 600 resolution unit and eveything just worked. Love the new radio app especially when it actually remembers radio stations and z-link is still present. I hadn't had much time to tinker with it but GPS seems to be working excelent. I will try to change default launcher, with stock firmware I couln't since it always used default launcher, no mather what I tried. Thanks again.
