Hi wenglish, I have also just received the new rounded version and I think I have got it all working, I do find the new software a little buggy. I see they have changed the code for getting into the volume levels, don't suppose you know this?
I don't I'm sorry mate I'm currently using the new curved screen but Sam requested I'm using the previous user interface and so far it's been brilliant with no issues to report
So I have installed the unit and all seems fine except the OEM reverse camera, it all works fine within the NTG but when in the android side it will not activate.
I have obviously chosen "original car camera" in the NTG setup
TIA

Could someone confirm if you have a factory fitted camera the only connection you need to make is the LVDS one i.e. the blue plug to the turquoise one?
Hey. Did you get this working? What software/hardware version do you have? I was told by "support" that Bluetooth OBDII dongles will not work. I now have 5 of them, and none of them work.

Thanks for the reply. I've tested with the following, and just about every Bluetooth pairing app that exists for Android. If you have any insight on how to get this working, it would be much appreciated.

Can anyone test/confirm that the newer (v2 android 6.1/"8.1") units are rooted / rootable? KingRoot works on the older android 4.4 v1 units, thinking about upgrading to the newer round screen ones for the improved speed and resolution...

Not rootable. I tried everything on my v2 to root.
So when I was looking at GPS splitters, came across a post on BimmerFest by user Rayo (who did the splitting with great results) but also found he was able to get the SIM card slot to work using FreedomPop SIM (which leaches off ATT) in San Francisco.
In Rock's newest video, he states the V3 unit with rounded corners uses LTE band 41 (which is China, India) but Google wiki states this is also used by Sprint (in addition to 25, 26). My question is this: Sprint is CDMA. Is the unit's SIM slot compatible with GSM and CDMA or just one of them? I cannot find the info on website listings.
My follow-up question: Has anyone in North America installed the V3 unit and used a Sprint SIM card? This would be awesome if it works.
Ting mobile looks like it uses Sprint's 41 band and has good coverage in SF/Bay Area with no contracts. Might give it a go and try it out.
I would really like to know this too. Please let us know if you have found out.
Permanent root on android 8 via ADB without flashing
Hello!
Use the following instruction to receivepermanent root on Android 8 using adb without flashing device:
On Head Unit, install terminal emulator on device and run two following commands and reboot device. This will open ADB witj root permissions on the port 5555
Just installed the 10.25 in screen. Looks awesome and runs well. I’ve noticed that my heated seats button on the command console no longer works. Is that normal? Also, driving a 2008 c300, can’t get the NTG command screen right. Radio image is too far right. Everything from wireless CarPlay to radio plays and sounds well. Any suggestions? Combinations that works? Thnx
Not rootable. I tried everything on my v2 to root.
I managed to root my headunit v2 with the following method:
Install adb on a laptop and load the latest superSU on your Headunit and extract "su" from "arm64" (in the .zip file) to "/sdcard". Connect Laptop to the same wifi network as your Headunit and try the following commands:
"Adb connect HEADUNIT_IP"
(Use the IP address of your Headunit)
"Adb shell"
"su @#zxcvbnmasdfghjklqwertyuiop1234567890,."
(yeah, it's a stupid username..)
"mount -o remount,rw /system"
"cp /sdcard/arm64/su /system/bin/su"
"chmod 0755 /system/bin/su"
"cp /sdcard/arm64/su /system/xbin/su"
"chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su"
"su --install"
"su --daemon&"
"setenforce 0"
"mount -o remount,ro /system"
"exit"
"exit"
After that, install SuperSU, for example from Playstore.
That's it, hope it will work for you.
Weird. Got into my car again for lunch and audio auto switch worked again from OEM radio to youtube. Then I switched back to OEM Radio then back to youtube and it didn't auto switch. So i thought maybe it only works after a reboot so I did a restart on the android side under settings > system. Car was still on and Radio still playing while screen rebooted. After complete reboot, went to youtube again and still audio didn't auto switch.
Will try it again when I'm off work when the car has not been restarted for a few hours. Maybe once the car has completely shut down is when it will work.
Did you manage to get auto switch to work? I don't get sound on media played on the head unit e.g.youtube, even though music by bluetooth and the radio works.
