I keep trying to put an NBT EVO animation bot and trying to put new logos but it has been impossible. I have tried in a thousand ways but nothing
Does anyone know in which folder or where I can put them in the system?
thank you
Another question is there any way to root without PC?

I would like to upgrade to a newer version since my audio sometimes gets delayed and I do quite hate the UI the headunit currently has. Are there any software versions available ? Is there an upgrade path or a tutorial that I can take.

I've also posted a picture of the system info that might be able to answer some questions. It is a GS headunit, CIC.

Thank you!
Unfortunately this has been discontinued about 3-4 years ago and is no longer supported.

What MCU are you on?
Where can you import this 'factory_config' file?

Has anyone tried this before and do they get the same results? Thanks
Hi, Try another new power cable, maybe it will be helpful.

The firmware on it is very unstable, CCC does not communicate, idrive does not work, I think they confused it before me, can a new and more stable firmware be installed?

Hi guys,
Is there any way to use RealDash app without OBD adapter/decoder? Since the multimedia is connected to CAN gateway, there should be a way Realdash app to use its signal.

No, there is no way. Android doesn't communicate with CAN bus at all. The MCU does and then it sends serial data to Android, which is pick up by a few system apps and acted upon or translated. But the MCU doesn't send everything, it's only programmed to understand very limited number of CAN packets. But that's irrelevant as it's not sending raw CAN data anyways.

Hi guys,

I have a very weird problem with my HU. For some time now, whenever someone is calling me on the phone connected with bluetooth to the HU, the sound seems to be coming from the HU itself, not the car speakers (not even sure the HU has speakers on its own), and the sound level is very weak, I can barely hear what the other person is saying. It used to work fine until recently, and I'm not sure if I messed something up from the factory settings page, but unlikely. So the microphone works fine, the sound is there, but it's not going through as before. Not sure if anyone experienced something like this, but I wanted to try my luck here. Attaching the HU details below.

upgrade Ksw-Q-Userdebug from 1.8.2 to 4.2.9

Hello, I wanted to upgrade my native Android 10 from 1.8.2 to 4.2.9, I did all the steps correctly, but when the installation is 50% it skips to recovery mode, what could that mean?

Thanks

So you have an A10 unit, got yourself some update files from the A10 thread and you're posting your question in A9 thread...
You need to do these updates in increments, you can't jump from 1.8.2 to 4.2.9 straight away.

Attaching the HU details below.
1. The main plug on the harness must be fully inserted. However, because the board flexes when pushing these plugs in, you must be careful not to break anything. I found that by putting something hard underneath the blue GPS socket, this stops the board from flexing and allows the main plug to be inserted all the way. This is the first point of failure for HU audio. ie. the HU may have power but poor audio.

2. After rebooting, many have noticed that the audio is very low. After reboot sometimes pausing and playing a couple of times will restore audio volume. Or, touching the volume controls (OEM NAV/Android Volume) in settings>audio will also restore it. This is why KSWToolkit has a setting to restore audio levels after booting.

3. Use a USB DAC, to output clear and amplified audio through USB into an audio jack. Even then, most people (except Shamanix) get their phone calls & DTV/AUX audio refusing to go through the DAC, thus following the Android harness wiring. One could use a 'volume booster app' (20% boost does not degrade audio quality noticeably). I also tried a mini mixer & amplifier in previous pages, but I was not overly impressed with the quality of the product. Although it did an OK job its jack inputs were sensitive to jack movement and was prone to noise/interference in the car (good on the bench).

Thx to Rudy for the provided ID7 Theme.
And thx to kri & nicholaschum for help in development.



If you want to try it out get the apk here:

Download

Install it to your device and grant the app READ_LOGS permission by entering this adb shell command:

Code:
adb shell pm grant com.android.kswxdashboard android.permission.READ_LOGS



This is great, but the drivers door shows the wrong side, is there a way around this please
