Aptoide has some apps play store doesn't including netflix

 

It will always bring up the radio screen at boot up if you turn your vehicle off while the radio is playing.

 

I downloaded YouTube from the Play Store. You will have to use a reputable 3rd party app store such as Aptoide to install Netflix and other apps that the Play Store won't allow you to install.

 

You don't need Wifi to use the stock radio. Do you use a separate app to stream local radio?

 

When you finish, can we see a pic of a night shot?

 

Ok I'll do that tonight

 

Now this is determination at it's best.... The struggle is real.. someone should go back to the vendor and request an additional group discount as you guys have identified more than half of their defects, pain points and made the corrections.

 

I know another forum member sent his HVAC module to vendor, any update? I have sent an email to the seller as well, will post when I receive a reply.

 

I just got confirmation from phoenix that they received my HVAC

 

No im not using wifi for radio....my am fm stations work fine...i use wifi for apps like google maps for example so i can get live traffic updates etc

 

Xm radio came in... i ordered the same stuff @1971sport did to change his buttons and knobs blue so i will wait til i get those materials before i install everything... i can also remove this and use in home as well

 

That's a good thing because I've been reading reviews for the Sirius XM app for Android and their last update has broken a lot of functions.

 

So your unit crashes when it connects to Wifi?

 

The vender needs to also update the OS to at least Nougat so we can use the latest apps versions from the Play Store instead of having to use 3rd party app stores to install older versions. Even with the older versions, they still aren't optimized for this unit/tablet like Netflix.

It's strange how we can't mirror the latest Android flagship phones such as the S8 and the Note 8 but I can mirror my old iPhone 6S Plus.

 

Just the speedometer app on the home screen that works through the obd.... all the other functions/ apps work fine

 

Is not the os version but something having to do with google certifying the unit for google play store or something of that sort.

 

Did you try what I did some posts back I have a s6 but you would think it would work my s6 mirrors but there are some different steps

 

I did that QR code thing. It downloaded some apps on both unit and phone but it still doesn't work. I think it's just the phones are so new and the OS isn't backwards compatible.

 

Did you go into setting on the HU and turn the usb host to on mine was set to off.also when I debugged the USB I had it plugged in and it asked for permission for my HU

 

Where is that option thanks

 

I did enable USB host on the unit and USB debugging on my phone but still didn't work. The unit sees it but wouldn't start the mirroring. I'll try it again and get a pic of the results. Would you happen to know the password to get into developer options on the unit?

 

Does anyone know the two different passcodes I can’t seem to find it again?

 

8861 and 7890

Try downloading the usb debugging app onto the HU if you are just trying to access the debugging through the HU

no i haven't tried to get in through the HU but this is how i got into it through my phone but dont know if it works on the HU being its not a phone

1. Go to the settings menu, and scroll down to "About phone." Tap it.
2. Scroll down to the bottom again, where you see "Build number." (Your build number may vary from ours here.)
3. Tap it seven (7) times.

here is the link with the usb mirroring https://youtu.be/WhlpXM70IA0

 

This is what I get get on my phone when I connect it. USB host is enabled on the unit and USB debugging is enable on my Note 8.

 

That is exactly I get as well with my Samsung S8+. I emailed the seller and here is their reply:

"If you enabled usb debugging, and chose always allow when prompted, then it may be that your phone is not compatible."

 

I just found a way to stop it from going straight to app search after boot up. Go into Nova Launcher settings > Apps and widget drawers > under app search, disable persistent search bar above apps.

 

thanks here are the night pics

 

Wow man awesome
