Word of warning.

Don't download anything else from the mekede app store apart from car play update.

I found out the hard way.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Please explain. Which "bad things" did happen when you downloaded what?
[FYT Android Head Units] hal752:
Completely messed up the canbus settings.

I lost all temperature controls via the unit. It couldn't read my climate control and no reverse camera.

Had to reinstall from my backup.
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
I had the same ide that the update would mess up the unit so I resisted and didn't download anything except the carlink update which also doesn't work properly for me either (problem with music and whenfront camera turns in after hot boot)
[FYT Android Head Units] taufikthexfader:
Wait, we have FYT Appstore now? i just couldnt find it.. can you please share the apk?
[FYT Android Head Units] wipika1:
I second that...Is there really a FYT Appstore? I'm 100% certain it's not on my unit.
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
I think it might be a Mekede thing. It only contains 4 apps (main service, canbus, protocol, and carlink) 3 of which are just system apps.
[FYT Android Head Units] pstrawder:
Yes there is a AppStore. I think it is actually hosted by FYT (a.k.a. LSECTEK).

They do not support proper browser as their HTTP server replies with Content-Type: application/octet-stream, but using a proper tool, one can easily explore what is hosted:

http://apk.ls-ec.com/app_img/cjManager/carAppApk/ <-- root

http://apk.ls-ec.com/app_img/cjManager/carAppApk/2024-02/lishuntong/ <-- latest released APKs

Great info, thanks!
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
Since latest Waze update I have a problem with dark mode. Before latest update Waze was managing the day/night mode on its own independently from the headunit. This was great BC there are two possibilities to manage dark mode with Anycarlink. Under the settings of the mekede headunit you either set the backlight control to be based on the light switch (i.e.: if headlights are on Hu switches to night mode and android auto turns on night mode even during day when the lights are on for example if weather is gloomy or you drive on highway. This bothers me I don't like to use AA in dark mode during night. The other possibility is to switch the mekede hubunder settings so that the backlight is controlled based on time. This never has worked for me, in this case th AA is always in day mode. How do you manage the AA day/night mode switch automatically as for me it never works I always have to configure it manually under the AA settings to avoid problems described above. Before recent Waze update Waze was working perfectly Google maps has never managed to change day/night mode automatically only by ways described above. Does anyone have any tip? I don't understand why Google cannot manage to fix this issue for almost 10 years now. Carplay works perfectly :(
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
I want carlink to work as it should, with my car lights controlling day and night mode.

For me it is not a recent waze update that broke day/night on carlink but an update over a year ago. I have the very last version that worked saved on my laptop.

Recent versions of waze ignore my headlights and switch to night mode based on time determined by waze.

Also for me Google maps has always worked this way and still works on the most recent version to control day/night mode with lights.

I think you can over ride these settings on Android Auto on your phone.

Go to Android Auto settings, scroll to the bottom and click about lots of times until it unlocked developer options.

1 of the options is about day/night mode. I think you can fix it to day mode? Give it a try.
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
I wish my Waze would switch again based on time and not based on headlights.... Unfortunately entering developer mode and changing the setting doesn't work. What works is to change the HU behaviour so that it doesn't turn on dark mode when lights on, however in this case the AA will always stay in day mode.
[FYT Android Head Units] the_awsam:
I have the ZWNAV ANdroid 10, 12". I installed the Launcher 42 from the link and it's just blank. No buttons, no shortcuts, not controls at all except the pull down menu from the top. Which luckily I was able to get into settings and change the launcher back to the original :P

Has anyone tried the other updates? The canbus & aircon?
[FYT Android Head Units] Matt Devo:
this has nothing to do with the Carlink app...
[FYT Android Head Units] piro.lito:
Hey, thanks for the info.

Can you please share both canbus protocols and database apks?

I can download those.

Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] smrpr:
Is there any way to replace the "Connecting" screen? I unpacked the APK using apktool but couldn't find the resources to the images and background in the main app screen. I'd like to add my car brand logo to make it look OEM-ish.
[FYT Android Head Units] smrpr:
Quoting myself as I found the issue, I was unpacking Carlink2Navi instead of 190000000_com.syu.carlink. Now I can see all the images that create the connecting animation, backgrounds, etc.

Is there a way I can install this app in an emulator to test my changes? I tried android studio but I got an error when trying to install it in the emulator.
[FYT Android Head Units] Matt Devo:
I don't think so as it has dependencies on the base FYT libraries
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Correct. It will not work in any emulator.
[FYT Android Head Units] smrpr:
Thanks both. I've seen in the unpacked APK that there's a lot of car brand logos, but I didn't find any way of selecting one in the app itself. Is there something I'm missing or was it an old feature that got removed but the logos were left in the files?
[FYT Android Head Units] Matt Devo:
there used to be an option to select the car logo under settings, but I don't recall it ever doing anything
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
If it is buggy, you should detect which image is the default image. If it is called default_car.png (I have no idea), you copy your car png over it giving it the same name default_car.png
[FYT Android Head Units] smrpr:
After I changed some images, do I need to install the app from allAppUpdate or can I just open the apk from the file explorer in my HU to install it?
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
No need to install from AllAppUpdate but as it is a system app it may not install normally.

If the app is already installed it might update with no issues. If it does not then you can use an lsec script to install it.

Just extract the attached file to a fat32 usb, replace the apk with your modified version and flash your unit.
[FYT Android Head Units] darobman72:
Who makes this software and is there support for it? I'm trying to figure out how to get a couple of the steering wheels controls to work with this app. (previous/next/answer/hang up all work). Back Exits the application and Play/Pause is ignored. These buttons work as expected in other apps, like VLC.
[FYT Android Head Units] Tigregallo:
Friend, I had the same issue as you, my Ekiy Radio's Carlink version is 2.23, I asked the vendor, they sent me the version you guys are talking about, 190000000.., but before patching the head unit, what I did was to reset my iphone Network setting, and now it works great without patching, I believe you can do the same thing on Android phone as well. Below are the steps:

To reset network settings on an iPhone running iOS 16, you need to:

Open up Settings on your phone and go to General.

Tap on Transfer or Reset iPhone.

Then tap on Reset.

After that, select Reset network settings.

You will see a screen on your phone asking for your phone’s passcode. Enter your passcode and then tap on Reset network settings.

Note that this will erase all settings associated with your Network, WiFi, as well as Bluetooth
[FYT Android Head Units] Tigregallo:
In case anyone is interested on the file I received, I will attach it, my head unit is Ekiy, Android 10 with Carlink version 2.23.., I did not have the chance to install it, since my connecting issue was resolved using the steps above, resetting the Network setting on my iphone
[FYT Android Head Units] Dbensimon:
have anyone could resolve this issue? sometimes for some reason the CarLink hotspot won't start, showing error status on hotspot setting screen. rebooting the headunit will help but then it happens again after sometime and the hotspot drops. Anyone have any idea on how to resolve this issue?
[FYT Android Head Units] Dbensimon:
Anyone? Any idea guys? It is so annoying…
[FYT Android Head Units] prokiller1199:
Since the new Carlink update I have resolution issue on my AA (not on CP). My AA is not utilizing my 2K screen resolution hence it show different layout. So far until no fix yet. Some comparison, Old (Left) vs New (Right)
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
Happened to me to clear cache data, force stop and restart all or headunit after
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
Sorry have never experienced this kind of behaviour
[FYT Android Head Units] prokiller1199:
Any fix?
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
What I wrote force stop clear cache and data restart app restart headunit. Maybe try to update carlink apk from mekede.com under support if you search for carlink you will find a link to download a newer version
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
If you have at Mekede app Store installed on the radio from there you can also update Carling to the latest version.
[FYT Android Head Units] Dbensimon:
Thanks for the reply. Will keep looking. If any one else have any suggestions, will be very appreciated. Tnx
[FYT Android Head Units] prokiller1199:
Thanks for the possible solution but my carlink 2.0 app already latest version, following your steps doesn't fix it. still wrong layout.
[FYT Android Head Units] gordgelin:
layout depends not (or not only) carlink app but on android auto updates on your phone and device. you will have this layout with any carlink version and current android auto version. you can try to uninstall and restrict updates - this may work probably
[FYT Android Head Units] prokiller1199:
I will try it soon, but before upgrade to M6 3D firmware it was fine. after upgrade it have wrong resolution. Revert to old firmware immediately fixed the layout with correct 2k resolution.
[FYT Android Head Units] gordgelin:
if you think it has something to do with resolution you can look for this line in config.txt in both firmwares and compare them and if it exists

ro.sf.lcd_density=240
[FYT Android Head Units] prokiller1199:
Yes, both firmware have this line. Android UI resolution all ok, just AA. CP is fine too. just weird.
[FYT Android Head Units] gordgelin:
also this may be just temporary before AA updates itself
[FYT Android Head Units] Sebasteaan:
To fix the layout you have to start carlink with the navigation bar on and not on hide. If you hide the navigation bar and then start carlink it will change the layout of AA.
[FYT Android Head Units] prokiller1199:
on my player with newer android version, doesn't have the bottom navigation bar anymore.
[FYT Android Head Units] joaobiagi1990:
Could you tell me if version 2.23.1223.1104 is the most current? Is there a place where the updates are available for download? Do you have a Telegram group for easier communication?

[FYT Android Head Units] eduarcor75:
I have a Junsun V3 plus (FYT 7870 2K), and everytime I use Android Auto with Carplay, I just see like your bottom image. I am not able to make it work like the upper image. Is there a way I could do it?

I am not able to show/hide any navigation bar in the configuration.

Probably is happenning the same with Iying 7870 too.

Can anyone help here?

Thanks
[FYT Android Head Units] matrixx1:
Make the bottom navbar visible before you start AA then it will load the app as shown on picture 1
[FYT Android Head Units] eduarcor75:
My reply in my previous post:

Maybe someone can guide me in a FYT 7870 2K unit to do it. I couldn't find any way...
[FYT Android Head Units] nemesis19881016:
Because some netizens have shared that the APK file can be updated before. Can you share this year’s update file? Thank you.

What does vensor/seller say?
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Because carlink is a hack emulator of Chinese 3rd party origin and not authentic/sanctioned carlink.

If wanting carlnk, best buy a genuine carlink unit.
[FYT Android Head Units] deadeye920:
The seller says tell “Marchnz” to not post unless they have anything useful to say.

I’m sorry but why do you have to be so passive aggressive with posters. They have asked a legitimate question and 99% of your replies don’t help.
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Because carlink is a hack emulator of Chinese 3rd party origin and not authentic/sanctioned carlink.

You are mistaken, this is not aggressive.

If wanting carlnk, best buy a genuine carlink unit - there is no "fix" - talk to reseller if unhappy with that!

Read post with care.
[FYT Android Head Units] deadeye920:
Carlink on my cc3 works perfectly. It is hacked and not genuine yes, but it works. Forums are used to help one another. Perhaps you could do that
[FYT Android Head Units] marchnz:
Dont confuse 'I came here for free support' for chinese graymarket device brought cheaply with actual development.

Perhaps you could tell OP what the steps were to get Carlink working, seems you've got a magic unit.

[FYT Android Head Units] solteq:
Hi, just install it like apk, or need to be flashed somehow ?
[FYT Android Head Units] Akerboom:
Like apk
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
Go to the App Store, which is built-in within the unit: there you find the latest version of CarLink. It's from 12 November.
[FYT Android Head Units] Akerboom:
Can you upload apk?
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
I could do one of these days: but I believe, the update doesn't change anything spectaculair anyway.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
I am not really interested in Carlink or the app store, but since this post on March 4th, I have tried the App Store now at least 10 times (I'm a curious guy) and per try at least 3-4 times with intermittent reboots to see if that would help.

I always get a window "No data" which means I do not see any apk.

Anyone else having that same bug?
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
It worked fine for me, but didn't use the app before until recently.
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
As for me, in my M700S I don't have this app store 🤔
[FYT Android Head Units] Specy01:
He apologizes, but I didn't remember having the Aptoide app among the apps. Getting into the car I realized the mistake. I apologize again for my useless previous post 🙄
[FYT Android Head Units] thericksizzler:
same I don't have any appstore for that
[FYT Android Head Units] Akerboom:
Same "No data" message and a blank screen.

@DexterMorganNL Love to see the updated apk, or even your apk for the appstore :)
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
I can do it later today: with ES File Explorer I can export an APK file? I now also get the error message from the built-in app store.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
Yes, you can do that. The apk is an "all inclusive" package. Libraries and so on inside the apk, can be copied to /data/ to cache it and make the apk load faster next times.
[FYT Android Head Units] dark_knight_007:
This is a newest version.
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
What's the date? I would normally just install the APK on my phone, but I'm on Android 13 and Carlink is meant for older Android version.
[FYT Android Head Units] surfer63:
According to the AndroidManifest it was compiled on 2023-02-23 13:42:00
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
Okay, than its the newest: in that case, I don't need to upload anything anymore. Would be interesting, if that solves my disconnect issues I have with Android Auto.
[FYT Android Head Units] thericksizzler:
any changelog of it?
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
They never have changelogs, and it's even unknown who is developing this.
[FYT Android Head Units] dark_knight_007:
Sorry，there are no changelogs.
[FYT Android Head Units] dark_knight_007:
This is a much more stable version.
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
That is promising: Android Auto hasn't been working properly for me anymore, since the rollout of Coolwalk. I read online, that Volkswagen also had to update the software on their headunits.

Because Android Auto is currently experiencing disconnect issues, with quite some phones. And sometimes the issue has to be fixed, with an update from the headunit.
[FYT Android Head Units] AdamMarkTodd:
Anybody upgraded their A-sure k42??. I suspect it's the same hardware as atoto s8 but not positive.
[FYT Android Head Units] taufikthexfader:

ok，you can try this one. A newer version and larger size. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjzt0t3rzzrhxh2/190000000_com.syu.carlink_sign_sign.apk?dl=0
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
I will try it later: its a bit strange, that this one is 10mb bigger than the previous. Anyway I had before these flashable zips and see, those have the lib unpacked.

This new one has some library files, that the older carlink didn't have. Just wanna see why the previous APK didn't work wireless.

And I already know: it didn't have the library files, that's why it wasn't working. And that explains the difference in file size as well: so I'm going try the new one later.
[FYT Android Head Units] taufikthexfader:
well, this version breaks my bluetooth pairing/connectivity entirely...
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
How you mean breaks Bluetooth pairing/connectivity? I haven't tried it yet, but when you removed it: works the Bluetooth then again?
[FYT Android Head Units] taufikthexfader:
The previous saved connections couldn't be connected properly, and whenever i tried to re-pair them there was "problem connecting, please restart bluetooth device"

I will try to uninstall it first, maybe even factory reset if the problem still occurs..
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
I just don't understand, how it can be related to Bluetooth? Because Bluetooth is handled by another app, not Carlink: it only would check, if your phone is connected.

At home I have Carlink version from October: I guess it's better to revert back to an older version? But I don't know where that built-in app store, stored the APK it downloaded the last time.
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
I tried it at my car just now as well: no errors about the Bluetooth, and the previous version was connecting as well. It just disconnected directly, and after that it wouldn't want to connect anymore.

I'm not sure if the issue is with Carlink, or Android Auto? Because before I got my new Xiaomi Mi 10T, it was working fine. But ever since I got this phone, I started having the issues.

Actually I believe, the issues are caused by Android Auto: because I remember trying out Android Auto 9.0 beta, and that was even worse than Android 8.9 version.

Now Android 9.0 is is the normal version, and I experience precisely the same as back then. Anyway I removed all updates for Carlink, and it reverted back the version from October last year.
[FYT Android Head Units] Akerboom:
@dark_knight_007's 30mb version of 24 februari 2023 works great on wireless Android auto
[FYT Android Head Units] j0hn83:
There are known issues with Android Auto running on the newly released MIUI 14.

So if your Mi 10T is running MIUI 14 then that might explain why you have issues connecting.

I have deliberately not installed the new update on my Poco phone for this reason.

It might be worth trying another phone.
[FYT Android Head Units] DexterMorganNL:
No it's running Pixel Experience 13, but on that ROM I also have issues and I kinda gave up. As Google Maps and Spotify app, work perfectly fine on the headunit.
