Try 1314.
It will work.
This changed from UGODE 2018 because it is firmware from AVIN and they use code 1314

I can confirm that after the 20/09/2018 update, the music player has problems with the mp3 with a dot "." in the name and put "unknown" in the artist and album fields... I downgraded back to the 20/09 update.

I'm just waiting for some pictures with the assembly steps of the motherboard and after I'll post them here, we can decide if we want to upgrade.
Since you are in contact with him
Can you please ask him why the unit does not update the MCU ? And if they are working on a fix for that ?
I tried ask him many times but he never responded to me.
Ive managed to update the MCU in the end

Yes, please share.
Can you describe your units parameters? Display size, resolution, memory size etc.
What was the MCU update for btw?
Does your display still dims when you turn on your lights?

Accidently I've deleted the files in the OEM directory by formatting the SD card. I'm missing 4 files now:
- cartype.xml
- factory.xml
- filter.txt
- mapApkLst.txt
Could anyone please provide a copy?

It's Android 8.1 on a CIC.

thanks in advance

How did you stop the file explorer? It has started to pop up in front randomly on my device. I can only guess its thinking the carplay adapter as a memory card (as it is only usb device connected). I could not find anywhere in its settings a place where I could disable this feature.

Hi Guys,
I've managed to install the MCU update on my device too.
Workes perfectly now. No screen dimming anymore.
Thanks to dlock for sharing the MCU update file.

Install instructions:
1. Copy the file to the root directory of an empty usb stick (max. 32gb)
2. Connect the USB stick once the unit finished the bootup.
3. Close the file explorer with back arrow twice.
4. Go to Settings/System info/Mcu-Upgrade
5. Upgrade
6. Enjoy!

I have a CCC unit from aliexpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Germ...857155882.html

MCU update file:
https://www78.zippyshare.com/v/5YkgS5I0/file.html

I don't know if this works for other units too, but they all have the same core.

Thanks a lot. I asked some time ago my seller in Aliexpress if they could share latest Android and MCU. No response... Anyway, here in this thread we've had quite many updates and I hope it keeps going like that.

This thread has literally saved me already multiple times.

I see
You have the ANDREAM unit.
In specs of your unit says that it has radio tuner.
Is that true?
