I have tried resetting a few times, no success. The top two images are the device booting, the 3rd is on the app screen and the last is when I press the radio button :/
CAn you help me, when I in the NGT mode, I can change ECO, Normal,SPort. But when Im in the Android Screen or Carplay Apple. the buttom did not work for me, I cannot change Eco, Normal, Sport , dirve mode and the volume, but the volume on the sterring wheel work very good. thank you so much
1) Where do you go to download latest versions of Zlink? The version I have is 3.8 but I’m aware there are newer versions out there.
(I’m aware there’s an “update” option from within the app, but if I just wanted to have the app on a handy USB).
2) Can you use two different iPhones with Zlink? Not at the same time, but one iPhone one day and then a totally different iPhone the next day?

I wanted to share an experience with Navifly on AliExpress for the benefit of others.
I purchased a 12.5" N600+ on 3/19 for an '18 C43 Audio20 Headunit with Burmester Package. Didn't ship for about a week but once shipped got it pretty fast. Upon opening the box found no instructions (expected) but with the help of threads like this one was able to get everything up and running. I had a harness with a 3.5mm connection in-line so I was hoping it was all plug and play.
Unfortunately this was not the case no matter what settings I tried so off to connecting the Aux-USB which worked right off the bat, except for one detail. I have no audio on the driver's side (LHD). Switching back to the factory system brings audio to both sides. Naturally I checked all connections, replaced the 3.5mm cable with a better one and reviewed every setting I could find.
I contacted Navifly to try to resolve the issue and they naturally started asking me to check all the connections, I get it, so I did. Then they asked me for a video, so I sent it. Then they sent a picture of a harness and asked me to confirm the Aux Box connection so I did. They asked me to confirm the settings in the console (although getting them to be specific as to what settings and what they should be was like pulling teeth).
All of this sounds reasonable, except those same steps/cycle have been repeated now a few times and I have just been asked to send a video, same one, again. It's been almost four weeks of back and forth between, "send a video friend", "look at this harness, are you using the aux-box?" And "is everything connected" in a cycle with no progress yet.
I'm hopeful to get this resolved, they are responsive (with one of the three responses above) but the process has been long, and incredibly frustrating. For all I know this can be my goof-up but more than anything want to highlight what it's like getting support if you have an issue.
Hope to move towards a resolution soon but with timezones being off (USA to China), we are in the same place we were when I first reached out. This is beginning to feel like getting the run around.

Have you tried plugging in some head phones or desk speakers directly into the 3.5m audio out jack to debug?
Turn down the volume in the Android screen first.
It could be a faulty usb aux box or 3.5mm jack
Also go into the Android system settings and check volume balance L//R channel levels.
Maybe connect to wifi and install an Android volume app that shows L/R channel ouput visually on screen. Likeva volume meter

The headphone test is next. Need to pick up a cheap set as I've pretty much gone wireless.
I did use the L/R in accessibility settings to confirm it's an issue on L/R channels. As I sweep to L the audio goes away.
My suspicions were around the box/jack. I tried another cable and tried cleaning out / inspecting the port with no success. Wish an Aux Box were easily accessible.
I contemplated buying another aux box to test, will probably be my next move.
One thought that I had:
I have purchased a Match 7UP DSP amplifier to replace the Burmester, I snagged a usb expansion module. Still waiting for it to arrive. I'm curious if connecting the head unit USB sound card to the input of the DSP would eliminate the AuxBox from the equation altogether, as well as the audio delay.
I wonder about the audio switching between the OEM unit (phone calls) and the USB input assuming the above will work.
Has anyone tried the USB output straight into a match DSP with the expansion module?

If you remove the Burmester app how are you getting audio input to the Match UP 7DSP?
The factory burmester amp uses Most150 fiber optic for inputs. You would need a Nav-tv Zen-m or a mobridge DA-G2.Standard unit.
...OR you tap into the speaker outs from the burmester app?

I haven't tried the USB input but I have a M5DSP and use https://www.startech.com/en-gb/cards...s/icusbaudio2d with optical SPDIF going to optical input on the amplifier and it works wonders.
In terms of switching sound there is an option in the DSP PC tool to make high level inputs the priority so if there is a phone call that comes through it automatically mutes the optical source and once it ends and no sound comes out of NTG it swaps back to optical all on its own.

Seller is providing an adapter harness to retain factory wiring, haven't seen it yet though as it is still in transit.

Interesting, also leaves the expansion port available.
Might go that route in the end, might as well try the USB for now as I already have it.
My understandings is this is an issue with the USB AUX adapters. There is an audio delay. I recall all units have this issue with USB AUX. Not sure if there is a solution.
I am soon getting a 2016 W205, and I would like to upgrade to a 12 inch display. However there seems to be a lot of different brand names. Which receives most support from the developer and community? Is it the N600 Plus? What's the difference between that and the N8 Pro Max?
Another thing I have noticed is that if you run the OEM Mercedes system, the right side of the display does look a bit different betweeen each model. Is it possible to customize this side of the display?
I like the look of it here. But most seem to have an image showing a road with lines in it, looks a bit lower quality.
Honestly the built in mic sucks *** on these screens, even more so on a RHD car as the mic slot is always on the left hand side of the screen. There are some people who have desoldered the mic and replaced it with a higher quality and gain one which makes it bearable.
If you don't use the BT from the screen then using a USB DAC with an external mic is the way to go.
Hi guys, looks like i got a lemon, gps signal is very low on my unit, both waze/gmaps keep losing car position and orientation all the time rendering navi function on my unit completely unusable. Could you please install gps test app and post your signal strength screen to compare? I changed antennas, changed antenna location, nothing helps. Thanks in advance.
