Hola, hace poco he instalado en mi coche una radio china con cámara trasera y demás, pero no puedo entrar al menú oculto de mi Opel Astra H del 2004. Algunos controles del volante funcionan como cambiar de emisora, volumen, etc, en otro coche. Tengo la misma marca y con otra radio china entro sin problemas con la app de ajustes de controles, pero en esta no puedo, he probado a pasar la app de una radio a otra pero es imposible - me gustaría saber si es posible hacerlo en esya o si alguien lo ha hecho con un modelo de coche como el mío

Hello,

Yes if you create a UI folder with bootanimation.zip inside, that's properly update the boot animation.

I've done on my unit successfully!!

For the logo, you could place it in config folder under "default_logo.png" name, it will update it also.
[Android Head-Units] splatt4000:
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but will this update work for my headunit? I've attached a photo of the system number etc.

Mine has a problem with the radio playing over other sources. Eg if listening to an MP3, the radio plays too. Hoping an update might fix this.

Sam, UK
[Android Head-Units] Deepcuts:
Should work, yes.
[Android Head-Units] splatt4000:
Many thanks. I'll give it a go. I know how to export my current configuration first. But is there also a way to backup the existing ROM/firmware in case the update fails?
[Android Head-Units] splatt4000:
Many thanks. I guess it's a good idea to back up my current configuration first. Is there a sticky post that explains how to do that?

EDIT: sorry, duplicate post somehow!
[Android Head-Units] Deepcuts:
If you don't unplug the USB or cut the power to the headunit while updating, it won't fail.

Backing up the whole rom is a bit more complicated. Plenty of posts on XDA.
[Android Head-Units] pjdp:
After installing this latest update Android Auto wireless crashed after 1 or 2 minutes. Everything else is working fine. Any ideas how this happens?
[Android Head-Units] Deepcuts:
I've seen this also, but stopped after another HU reboot and haven't seen the problem since.
[Android Head-Units] splatt4000:
The update worked perfectly, thanks. I had to recalibrate the screen and the touch buttons as described elsewhere in this thread. Hopefully this has fixed my radio issue, and as a bonus AndroidAuto now works! Very happy thanks @Deepcuts.

I like all the additional Home screen options available. Is there a way to edit these screens? For example to change what some of the menu icons do.
[Android Head-Units] Deepcuts:
Never tried to change them.

I am using Android Auto exclusively, so I don't really care what the HU's theme looks like.

Patched update

18 July 2024

Download from Google Drive

Enabled Android Auto and Car Play

How to install

1. Download the archive.

2. Format a USB drive with FAT32

3. Decompress AutoUpdate folder from the archive to the USB drive's root.

4. Power on the head unit and wait for full boot. Insert the USB stick in one of the two (as least on my model) USB ports. A message should appear telling you to update. If the message does not appear after a couple of seconds, try the other USB port.

5. Wait for the update to complete. WIll take several auto reboots.

You will see a message stating the update has been completed.

Do not remove the power from the head unit until you see the message.

Notice: 1st boot displaying Android will take some time. Be patient.

Updating will reset most settings to default. Be prepared to setup the HU from scratch again.

As always, use it at your own risk.

Notice: after you get the message that the update has been completed, do an extra manual reboot.

This is to prevent possible issues with unstable Android Auto connection and darker than normal screen.

Thank you for this! Working smoothly. Android Auto works. Does CPlink work natively? It shows mfi error and unable to connect via carplay.
[Android Head-Units] Deepcuts:
It should work, but as I do not have a iphone, I cannot test.

As far as I know, MFI stand for Made for Iphone.

I know others fixed this error with another cable.

No clue if apple stuff has wifi like Android Auto.

For those having issues with apple stuff and MFI error, try installing Zlink from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1E4kglAwk9GX942d6X_YX966Q2zRNA7yN

[Android Head-Units] cazenter:
Excellent sir. It's all in English now. Thanks so so much. I have noticed one thing though... When playing my songs and I switch the engine on cranking the engine again the player does not continue to play. Instead it goes back to the root of the flash forcing you to select the songs again. This is affecting music alone on the flash but the radio does not loose the memory. What could be the problem
[Android Head-Units] meidland:
For that you must dowload from Play Store another Launcher, like Agama or Carwebguru and other Music Player. Other thing you can do is go to settings, car settings (password 1234) and find Sleep, and set 1 day. The headunit will be on standby for a day and at the moment you engine the car all will be like before. I recommended not to use sleep mode if you drive your car few times, like one day a week but if you take every day or everyday two days, no problem

[Android Head-Units] Technaxx:
Hi, I would like to ask for your help.

I have a 10.25" multimedia that was working fine until I broke it.

I found a launcher on the net that looked more practical than before and installed it.

It seemed to work, I could customize it, everything seemed fine until I turned it off.

After turning it on again, it starts booting, but gets stuck at the opening animation, it goes on forever, can't start the launcher.

The reset button is of course ineffective, I can't reset it to factory, I read all sorts of tricks to get a factory reset but no luck.

I found the right Android installer and the installation instructions in the forum, but it doesn't work, it doesn't detect the USB.

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-10-25-bmw-headunit-8227l-demo.4527281/

Do you guys know of any way to bring my multimedia back to life?

The pictures were taken before the problem

Update!

Something happened, in the last picture on the right is the contents of the pendrive before the attempt, on the left after.

Two new directories appeared (created by multimedia), but nothing else.
[Android Head-Units] Jack Sparoh:
Are you familiar with the spflash tools software? try reinstalling your device with this firmware. and posting the results in this forum.

Maybe there are other opinions from forum members?
[Android Head-Units] Technaxx:
I tried this as I wrote, all that happened was that two new folders were created (watch video)

http://drwatson.szerver.eu/Multi.MOV
[Android Head-Units] Jack Sparoh:
I've seen the video you sent, your device is stuck in the logo.

how do you install the firmware. ?

from system settings -> update or use spflash tools.

Judging from the contents of the firmware file, it looks like it's a firmware for OTA updates.

You should be able to get factory firmware (Contact the device seller) or firmware dumps on the internet, try using the search engine facilities.

Did you extract the .zip file on your pendrive ?

Hello,

i bought the same unit of ebay.

could i ask you a couple of questions, because i dont't know if it's only me, or are you facing the same issue:

1. i can't get Android Auto / Apple Car Play to work, i downloaded ZLINK5 from internet. installed it, but when i'm starting it, i only see the first "splash screen" and afterwards it crashes

2. each time i start my car, my sound level is really low. In order to get it fixed, i have to go to audio settings, and play with the "fader/balance" so that it's back normal again.

3. what laucher are you using ?

4. Are there any aditional settings for Google maps, beacuse mine it's that slow, that i can't really use it

5. clock time does not stay correctly set. it's always shifting by a couple of hours. it does not matter what i set in the android settings.

Hello,

I have this same unit with the frimware JCAC10003-OC2-V1.0.50R0-221121_0757-AA

Everything works more or less well except that when it goes to sleep (fast boot) or when it restarts: the volume of multimedia and notifications is set to maximum. This makes it extremely difficult to adjust the volume of the device to a suitable level.

If I adjust the media volume and notifications manually, I can gradually change the volume with the buttons on my steering wheel.

I have read that some have had the opposite problem, the volume was lowered when waking up. I have modified the audio levels within engineer mode, but I have not achieved anything.

I have also seen on a Russian website that a frimware dated February 2023 is available. Has anyone tried it?

My Guess is there are different versions of this Firmware Depending on the main board hardware.

[Android Head-Units] Deepcuts:
Have the same unit and same fw.

Also slow as hell. Tried resetting to factory defaults to no avail.

Have another navigation, 5-6 years old now, with only 1 GB RAM and everything is a lot smoother.

From when I start Waze for example, to when the actual navigation starts, I would say 1:30-2 minutes.

Either the OS is busted or false marketing.

For 4 cores and 2 GB RAM (of which only 1 is used), this thing should work a lot quicker.

Literally , everything is slugish.

Also, BT 5.1...right. Way too much skipping.

[Android Head-Units] CaperucitaFeroz:
Within the Factory menu there is an option to export the configuration to a USB.

Once extracted you will get the iviconfig.zip file that is protected by the password 'jancar'. Make a backup copy of this zip and then unzip it on your PC and open the "ivi-config.ini" file using a text editor. Find the parameter BD37534VolumeCurve and replace its value with: 65.0(0),64.0(1),61.0(2),59.0(3),57.0(4),55.0(5),53.0(6),51.0(7), 49.0(8),47.0(9),45.0(10),43.0(11),41.0(12),39.0(13),37.0(14),35.0(15),33.0(16),31.0(17),29.0(18),27.0(19),25.0(20),23.0(21),21.0(22),19.0(23),17.0(24),15.0(25),13.0(26), 11.0(27), 9.0(28),7.0(29),5.0(30),3.0(31),1.0(32),-1.0(33),-3.0(34),-5.0(35),-7.0(36), -9.0(37),-11.0(38),-13.0(39),-15.0(40)

Save the changes and rezip the iviconfig.zip file (no password required).

Hello,

Did the google assistant work for you before? I have the November firmware and only voice search works for me, but not commands like: "Hey Google, call home" or "Hey Google, turn up the volume".

On the other hand, does the browser work with the tts voices? I have tried several and they always sound too low (with the recorded voices I have no problems)
