I'm at work right now. But that's exactly how my screen looks. (Top is how it looks rn,. Bottom has the arrow I was referring to)

johnksss

So I checked mine and it shows all the time. I did try to buy an S63 and it had a Android setup that had the arrow missing as well. The guy said he reset the system and didn't realize it was missing until I asked about it.

So maybe you have to go through your settings and check that they are still set correctly or try to reset it and match some ones setup in here.

Rringer327

Sounds about right. Thank you

johnksss

No problem.

I'm kind of Leary about messing with mine as I don't want to break it. lol
I did mess with a few things, but was lucky enough that I was able to get it back to normal. I never tried the reset though.

If you reset it to factory settings you loose the car software and the whole thing is useless.

johnksss

So is that what happen with yours?

Rringer327

Lol. That's literally me at the current moment

johnksss

What was the last thing your remember doing before you noticed it was no longer there?

Side note:
I noticed that the fancy stuff for the backup camera doe not work if you use OEM camera. And using any other camera setting produces no video.

Rringer327

I reset the screen because everything was black and camera wasn't showing. . After that..... No more arrow but everything else came back on. Lol

johnksss

Hummmm, then when you get a chance.... Start taking pictures of all the screens and lets see if we can find out which setting is turned off and needs to be turned back on.
Talking about the factory settings.

Wow i am happy, mine works. My problem was the watch tv device which disturbed the Can line in the car when i connected the android system. Took me almost 2 months but now everything works perfectly!

johnksss

How did you get the auto day/night feature to work for maps?
That is the only thing not working for me.

vervuurt

You need to go in your settings. Send me a PM. I will help you.

johnksss

So I tested the auto AUX tonight and yeah, I'm sticking with that. It simplifies so much.

Hello everyone!
Got a problem with that android unit.
Everything is installed and works fine. I really like the sound and functionality. But after some time the problems started.
Sometimes the buttons on the center console (joystick, sound control, etc.) were turned off. After car restart - everything was OK again.
Sometimes the COMMAND was unexpectedly turned off and I could not turn it on with the ON button button. - After car restart - everything was OK again.
The air suspension error started to appear when driving (randomly). At the same time, the car keeps the suspension level normal. The adjustments are working.
Eventually the suspension level sensor broke down. After service - this sensor was replaced, but error still appears. One month and the sensor broke again (the same sensor that was replaced - mb original).
My dealer said he suspects Android unit because it is "listen" and using the CAN line. He recommended to switch this unit back to original one (OEM).
I drove with the original display (OEM) for more than a month, without any problems.
Yesterday I decided to install Android Unit again and the problems started again, but now every time after starting the car, an error appears every time that parking assistance does not work. But after a few minutes everything starts working as it should.
Can anybody advise me what to do ?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Not really sure what you might mean when you say error. Like what does the error actually say?

I think there is something about "can lines" in the factory settings, but wont know till I go back out to car and verify that.

"Parking guidance" error:

NTG 3.0 is installed in my car.

Basso1001

I think it's a Can error, in my case i was because my car had a unit in the line for looking dvd's when driving. That unit gave me a lot of Can problems, the Android didn't.
I think it is because the Can needs to be terminated, in my case the box terminated the Can and tthat was why the android unit didn't as it should. or the can hi and low are switched on the android.
I think you should have it read out with xentry or star with the android in the car.

Another thing i have at the moment is that sometimes my amplifier doesn't start up. Both the batteries are new and i cannot find anything wrong. When i switch on contact and wait till the sound comes on and then start everything works perfect.
In time i think i have to have the amplifier overhauled. I also gives the the same kind of problems you have with the command and the on switch of the audio.

johnksss

So I figured this out as to why the Arrow is gone.
Settings/Factory/Type Security Code/Vehicle
If you chose option 1 you get no arrow
If you choose option 2 NTG 3.5 you get raise car/sport/parking sensors/screen brightness.
If you choose option 3 NTG 3.0 you get raise car/ESP/screen rotation/parking sensors/screen brightness.

LMAO...I am surprised the STEALERS didn't charge you even though they had no idea.

What's the best Ali store to buy the Android units from?

johnksss

I got mine from Amazon

Hi all and thanx for sharing information and experience. I got my Android touchscreen (https://www.seicane.com/) a month back and got it installed. I drive W221 with NTG 3.0 and with TV box. No AUX or AMI. AUX was also not activated in my NTG so I got it activated now. Everything works fine now but I have a problem.
1. If I play anything on the Android system (Bluetooth or a saved media in the Android system) it will play but sound comes ONLY from the passenger side. I tried everything so far and nothing works. Pls help/advice.
2. I have an AUX IN from the Android system and when I connect my mobile and play a music, the sound comes from all speakers !!!.

what could be the problem? Why when I play from an SD or bluetooth sounds comes out only from passenger side speakers?! When I connect AUX IN to the Andriod system the full sound system works!! Basically I'm playing music through the Andriod system!!

Pls help/assit.
Thanx

can some one explain to me how a screen that's 2" less high works better - I was in a BM with its wide joke screen and the Nav is utterly unusable - I like to see 10 to 20 miles of the road in front - on the bm you struggle to get 1/2 a mile in front on screen, whilst its zoomed out to half visible size ?

albalushi

I think it depends on how the system it self is designed to simulate in that size of screen and how it is compatible with it. Sometimes they don't spend enough on R&D to make things as you expect for different reasons and strategies. This includes cost of development and to create a hunger for next version or even a newer model of the vehicle.
