Android 10.25 Screen Unit
#276
Once you install the AutoPlayBox the actual name of the app icon is called CarPlay, not Autoplay.
2 Scenarios can happen. If it's the same app then it gets updated and you will have the latest version, or if Autoplay is a completely different app then you will know as you will have 2 different apps in your app drawer, both called carplay.
Absolute worse case scenario if you completely mess up the unit, you can always just hold the reset pin on the side and go back to factory state.

I upgraded to the file you pointed to. Unfortunately, it looks like my box is not "authorized." Now it doesn't work at all. Where did you purchase your box? Maybe I should just get a new one that's updated.

I have an extra one, brand new. I installed the V1 in my neighbors car but his Android phone was not compatible with AudroidAuto so we never ended up installing the Carplay Module. I can 100% confirm it works with iphone and carplay.
If you're interested in it PM me and I can send you a payment request and ship it out.

There are different versions. Try this one, I guess this will work for you if the previous one didn't.

Update problem
Hi everyone. I bought this navigation with android from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/8-Co...rcedes-Benz-C- Class-W204 / 32926783952.html, I installed it and connected it, it worked perfectly until everything ok until I found this video:
and I tried to update according to the steps there, according to https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ml#post7684581, I think mine is the same version of navigation than that on the w205, and after the first step, after the reboot stayed in black screen and did not boot, I tried to go into recovery mode or something and I did not succeed. I tried to contact the seller and did not reply to messages on aliexpress, facebook, mail, etc. =leftI do not know what to do, I'm desperate ... can someone help me please?

Update on the CarPlay issue. The adapter box I got from DMP Audio was not compatible. I got the version from Ungarish and it seems to be working perfectly.
Anyone have any success tethering the iPhone hotspot via USB to the android unit VS creating a wifi hotspot? With the iPhone wifi hotspot, it does not show up as an available network until I enter the hotspot screen under settings on iPhone. It would be nice if it were more seamless and auto-connect without having to manipulate the iPhone.
EDIT:
Any tips on how to update the CarPlay adapter box? It says the box adapter is too low and needs update via U disk.

Its the location of the GPS antenna thats causing the issues. Some may have more interference like a metal plate that could be blocking the signal. Relocate the GPS antenna and that should solve the issue.

Fellow member is installing this unit and running into an issue where the regular comand gets full sound but switching ti BT or carplay, only places in front right side only. Anyone have any thoughts?

I remember watching a video where the guy was explaining if you mix up two of the plugs, you will only get sound coming out of some of the speakers. I can’t remember which plugs they are, but they are the only two that look alike. I guess it seems to be a common problem because he made a separate video explaining this.

check this channel. I don’t remember which video it was, but I know it was this channel. Hope this helps.

Hi guys I have a big problem. I purchased one of the 10.25" screens from CKM and it only shows "Unfortunately System UI Has Stopped". It won't clear so I can't get beyond that to do anything else. Is there a way of getting this rectified?

I have a few questions still...
Is there a way to make the MUSIC app on the home screen to like Pandora?
I tried to move few apps to an external SD card (programmed) as internal but keeps showing "not enough space" and rejects the transfer.

You need to go into the secret menu and change the display type for your display. On the V2 it is something like "Original Car Screen Resolution". I'm not sure on the version you have.

Hey all,
So I've dug through 12 pages here, and watched as many youtubes as I can find however I cant seem to find an answer to my problem. I picked up the unit from DMP and everything is plugged in and working find, however I have no sound. Zero, zilch, nada, none. I can connect to the bluetooth on either the car or the screen, and both shows music playing, however no sound. I double checked the connection to the radio, and reseated it fully. Still no sound. Went back through and quadrupled unteenmillion checked the A/B A thing as well.
In going back through all my connections I noticed that I have a couple extra wires coming out of my main harness that isn't included in the patch harness in the kit. I'm thinking this is my issue but I have no idea how to remove them from the main harness. FWIW I have the harmon kardon system, 2013 W204.
The two I'm talking about are the orange wires, top left in the first picture, and top right in the second picture.

Do you know pass of “Factory pattern” ?
#299
Check out this video around the 8:10 mark. It tells you how to get to the secret menu to chose the display option (1 through 13). Start at 1 and try each one until the main screen looks normal.

Factory pattern passcode
Since there is a lot of good usefull info in this thread, I'd like to add that if you go to the setting, click "Factory Pattern" passcode 111111 it will take you to the service menu. Here you can at minimum change the boot screen so that it says "Mercedes-Benz" instead of AMG. I cant stand AMG logos on non AMG cars.
Also in this meny you can go to the full android system settings, though a lot of the sub-menu's are taken out.
I will definitely try to root and load to SD card tomorrow, I need to download the offline map to whole SoCal so I dont have to keep tethering my phone. Oh, and google maps does not lag for me either. I have my antenna on the dash behind the center channel grill mesh.
