Reason I want to upgrade is that the unit he received does not contain the Dutch (NL) language. I can also not enable the KSWOverlay (unit refuses to connect) and I also tried to put the latest PX6 A9 update from the first page, but the unit does not say "update found..." Probably because his unit has a newer A9 version than which is available on this forum. [he has version: 2020042701T_1280x480_970]

You can not Upgrade PX6 Units from Android 9 to Android 10.

Anyways would be cool if he could share that update for other PX6 users if he got a file from his seller.

His unit came with this version. The seller is not very helping in providing the file : already asked several times.

Of course if I get the file, I will share it.

PS: downgrading is not possible on our units?

Anyone know of a newer MCU than the one I've got? Andream are refusing to give me a newer version - it seems much more difficult to get hold of MCUs on these Snapdragon units than it used to be with the px5/6 ones.

I'm with you in that. I've been trying to get an update from Andream for moths, finally managed to get one. The approach that worked form me (eventually) was to point out a bug in the MCU and regularly message them.

Do you have a newer MCU that I've got then or is your unit different? What bug did you point out?

It's a different unit, sorry. I have CCC iDrive, and the bug I experienced was related to controller behaviour when after switching between OEM and Android it would stop responding in Android mode. But I recently started bombarding them with PDC issue as it doesn't stay up for the same time as OEM does - if you know what I mean. PDC view turns off even when parking sensors still work and are making sound. So if you have similar issue, try this as your argument.

I got 200617 version from them not so long ago.

iDrive: CCC
Vendor: LZH
Screen: 1280x480
Date: 17/06/2020
Full MCU string: 415187dLZH-CCC-GLT-200617-B18

I think you can downgrade to the older version if this doesn't work for you.

What contact details were you using to speak with them? I'm having no luck at all via aliexpress - all they will say is "sorry friend, we don't advise you update" no matter what i say.

Ah famous "friend" tag. I'm using AliExpress app to chat with them via Andream Official Store or whatever it's called. You honestly need some leverage to get any update, find something that is wrong with your MCU (I'm sure there is something) and point out this bug to them, make a video and try to explain same thing in 3 different ways. That's the best advice I can give you :/

low volume

Hi, I have modified build.prop to install DAC but I am getting low volume. Can someone indicate how the mixer_paths.xml file can be modified to increase the output volume of the DAC.

One more CarPlay question, I use auto kit with my iPhone and while in the android side if I unplug my phone from the cable it switches me from android back to the oem bmw screen automatically to the aux selection, is there a way to stop it from doing that that? Is there some setting?

Ahah I'm also facing this famous "friend" thing on Peng GPS Store
It's just a pain in the *** to get updates, even for the firmware. I keep telling them that a new version is here..."the engineer said there is no update"
I even asked them for the current MCU, just for backup purpose...no luck

Chinese support is a joke...

---

Appart from that, what is the damn algorithm used by the Kswmedia app to order folder and songs??
It's completely random, so difficult to find anything....PLUS, it comes back automatically to the current folder after a while. It's becoming very dangerous to change song while driving

It's not a bad app and I like it. But if there is no way to improve that, I will go away to another app (thinking about Foobar, but share you advices )

Yep, the support is far from acceptable. I kinda understand the approach "if it ain't broke don't fix it" but these updates are there for a reason.

On the topic of kswmedia... myself and few others reported that countless times to our sellers, but still nothing has been implemented. Not only the order is completely random, but also if you load up too many files the kswmedia app will crash, so that's that

Yes, this is to be expected. You have replaced OEM screen with SD625... no wonder ISTA-D can't find OEM screen anymore.

Indeed. It’s also disrupting the link between the OEM headunit and screen multiple times, especially when switching between Android and PDC/OEM headunit functions.

Which DAC are you using ?
Can you copy your build.prop in here (complete file) ?

Other Topic,

On the 1st Page of this Thread 2nd post i startet a explaination of all Headunit related GUI settings.

As some settings are only for specific cars / configurations, there are still missing alot of information, so the community here is asked to update me with missing information, preferred via PM or Discord to stay clean with this thread
