If it is really an android screen I wonder if there is anyway to change the settings through ADB or something, since it is a screen in the car, it might have to go through ADB wireless. Unless it really is an hardware limitation.

dragbike

it is Linux operating system.
I received a notification that there will be an update next week, I'm waiting

W205C43PFL

I see, hopefully that does the trick.

benzdude

Please make it look and work exactly like the real thing.

benzdude

This is getting better and better by the day and improving. I might buy one if I can get more info on the HUD issues.

We need to get the design to this:

dragbike

my car has HUD, and it's not working yet, waiting is happy for the update.

benzdude

When you say its not working, do you mean swapping the screen disables the hud and prevents it from displaying on the windshield or there are just no hud controls in the new UI/0S?

dragbike

disables the hud and prevents it from displaying on the windshield

benzdude

Oh No! What happens if you press the manual HUD on/off button on your left side? Press it twice just in case.



Also, any OBD 2 code errors from the new screen?

dragbike

HUD is no longer working, it was informed from the factory.
I think it doesn't bother me, after acclimatization.
tire pressure not working and auto parking still not working my friend. Let's wait for the factory to release an updated version.

VTSummit

I would be totally in if they could get it to look less Chinese and more like the image you posted. I also want TPMS to display and all the original info available

W205C43PFL

I wonder why the screen can affect the HUD though? Coding issues?

cls5504matic

hud one of the best tech goodies on the car in terms of adding to experience of driving.

guys if u want to wait we will release a version which will just be facelifted everything and much cheaper coding.

we just have a lot of other projects with tuning coding and go fast parts. So it would be maybe 3 months or so b4 we are ready.

W205C43PFL

I mean if you paid for it (the hud) you would want to use it, that said if you have polarized glasses probably won't work for you.

benzdude

I only wear polarized sunglasses and can see the HUD very clearly. It's only when you tilt your head sideways, then the HUD image may fade,

benzdude

Who is "WE"?

I would rather put an OEM cluster in my car. $1200 is not a problem if it works But so far nobody can answer the basic questions required to make me confident in the process.

benzdude

I reached out to car life emilys team and asked them to please let me know when the software gets updated to support HUD, Distronic cruise and tire pressure display.

...also the font.

benzdude

Maybe. But i work in software development and those features may not have been prioritized on the long list of all the OEM options available. Each one has to be coded and tested in the aftermarket dashboard. It may be simply an issue of time.

dragbike

I also look forward to it, when a Taiwanese friend said that they have improved the HUD and automatic parking.
but so far more than 1 week, still no information about you updated.

side issue, I see under your signature it says: "Blind Spot Assist, Lane keeping Assist, Brake Assist Plus,..."
My car is c300, and these functions have been removed, I am very concerned about these functions. you help me!

benzdude

How did switching the cluster remove these features?? Do you have a message or codes?

benzdude

Factory code for the cluster might be 0169 if you want to check available options.

W205C43PFL

I see then it wouldn't be that bad after all.

W205C43PFL

I see, that makes sense.

dragbike

I have just been informed that a multi-function update has been released.
but I'm still waiting for a tutorial from them to make it easy to go through the video
Unfortunately, the font FONT has not been replaced yet.

UPDATE
1. Lane keeping and merging assistance
2. Blind spot monitoring
3. Automatic parking
4. ACC adaptive cruise (following distance)
5. Original car digital tire pressure
6. Head-up display
7. Cannot display multimedia information, such as music list

benzdude

Any news? Did the features get released? Did you get the update?
