Sorry if this is a silly question but in software 2.4.2 the dashboard as shown in previous photos, the Speedo goes to 330mph is there any way to change this to a more realistic top speed.

What is an opinion on using a USB splitter cable? I want to utilise one for Fijo USB Dac and the other for Carlinkit Carplay. Considering there's only 2 USB ports available I could appreciate an extra port for thumb drives and updates.

I'm using an ordinary passive (without external power) USB hub and have plugged in Fiio K3, TPMS, two USB thumb drives.

Good to know. Luckily I’ve got a USB hub laying around.

I have E92 so I don’t have scroll wheel on my steering wheel. All the buttons on the steering wheel function normally though.

I Updated Information about latest Update 2.4.4 at the 1st page.

Also I did a changelog of A10 3.9.4 which is pretty the same as A11 2.4.4 and created new Factory_config.xml files which can be found HERE.

This is animation A11 with logo-image.
Upload the file to the root t of the flash drive without removing it from the archive (suitable for 1280x480 and 1920x720 screens). Insert into any USB slot and wait for the inscription at the bottom of the screen.
If he doesn't write anything, then import it manually through the advanced settings (where the regular pictures are). The pictures will appear in P2.

Chiming in to say I added a FiiO K3 amplifier as suggested and music sounds worlds better. There used to be some songs I couldn't even listen to they were such a mess. This cleaned them right up. I got mine refurbished on ebay for ~$65. It came with the USB cable and I found a short 3.5mm to 3.5mm on Amazon. Pardon the dust, camera really "amplified" it (har har).

This USB looks OEM, is it connected to Android HU?

My phone charger is connected to the USB port in the center console. The amp is connected to the Android headunit through a different USB connection I fed through the center console and to the car via the 3.5mm jack pictured.

It looked like the DAC USB was connected to the OEM.
Understood. Thanks

Don't use included splitter - it's shite. Both devices are trying to power the same antenna causing various issues. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but mostly it works for a short period of time and then it causes havoc. What you need is a GPS diplexer or at least a splitter with a built in diode to cut off phantom power from one of these devices.

Thanks for the reply and for your help.

After installing the second unit (BTW replaced it to KSW snapdragon one )
I've connected the OEM GPS wire to the CIC unit directly as it was before and for the Android HU I've installed the GPS antenna that came with the device on the right corner of the front windshield and connected it directly to the unit.

You're right, when it was connected via a splitter while using Google maps the indicator was spinning when the car was standing during navigation (but the iDrive navigation was working fine) that's also the reason that i've decided to connect the new unit with a separate GPS antenna.

It's very strange what's going on since it was working fine before the second installation, looks like everything is indicating that there is some issue with the OEM shark antenna, but when i've connected it directly to the Android HU and tested it using the GPS test APK it was showing that there was a signal.

Is it possible that the new Android HU can cause that?

You may want to measure the voltage at the GPS terminal of the CIC unit without the GPS antenna connected.
On my F10 NBT there was about 4.7V.

One way to see if your new HU is affecting it is to remove it all and return it to its initial state.

My 10.25 Android 10 unit intermittently shows "No Signal" while all sound and apps are running, for example, play youtube, sound is playing, abruptly HU shows "No Signal" but sound continue to playing. When I press button on the car for show OEM screen, it worked. When I return to android, still "No Signal" is showed.

While "No Signal", change to reverse gear, rear camera is showing no problem.
This problem only can solved by shut down unit by turn off engine, and turn on again, reboot, and unit return to normal.

I changed MCU and upgrade from 2.0 to 2.3, 2.4... to latest FW, no help.
So, I want put small power switch on it, that I can manually turn on and off unit, since there is no any button whatsoever that I can press to reset or reboot unit.
I need to know rear panel connector description so I can get power line and put ON/OFF switch on it. Mine is Mercedes NTG 4.5, any help will be really appriciate.
