New v1.0 CarDongle Firmware

Can the new firmware install via OTA ?
Is better for same people !!!

@Tommy: Thank you for the new beta firmware. I'm eagerly waiting for my test sample to arrive (bloody customs and bloody forwarders, bad "service" from both of them). I hope I'm able to send some feedback before the end of the year...

@Taskom, OTA not yet. This is beta software for testing and clarifying bugs (if any). Nobody wants you to complain if this is installed without your consent. For the time being you have to flash by yourself 😉

Bye for now Fred

Hi, my v1 GPS doesnt work at all, will this FW update fix? can you sticky instructions on FW update process?

Watch https://youtu.be/k7X6X9tktWo

There are more videos on YouTube, search for CarDongle firmware. HTH

Bye for now Fred

The GPS in the v1 device doesn't work, at least here in North America anyways. You need to mirror your phones GPS onto the CarDongle using Bluetooth.

Check out the below:

Here is another thread that found another pair of apps that worked as well.

i try the step from youtube video and the flashing do not start !!!

Any help?
i have windows 10 64bit.

Most common problem: Order of actions.
- disconnect dongle
- start SP Flashtool
- select scatter MT6765_Android_scatter.txt
- select download
- start download process
- now connect dongle and wait

If this doesn't work check your drivers, start SP Flashtool as administrator and try until it works.

Bye for now Fred

@Tommy - just updated the v1 device I have, and I must say, I like the new look of the launcher.

However, I think you forgot to change the name of the device...

I got this screen when I clicked on the Google Play Store without having it connected to WiFi.

Just noticed we don't have the submit button when trying to connect to WiFi ... so kinda hard to do anything with it.

No Submit

Jerwam, is scrolling is possible there should be no problem. The login screen is designed for Portrait and not Landscape...

Bye for now Fred

PS: If you have an external keyboard at hand it should work

There is no scroll, and as these are built for car stereos, the default is landscape. I tried to see if I could get Mirroid to flip to portrait, but it looks like that is blocked now. I also tried hitting the enter key to see if that'd do it, but nothing. It just sits in the password box, no way to move it further.

Does the touch screen respond?

Bye for now Fred

Ah, it works on my Surface when setting Mirroid to use the Google keyboard. The enter key on my external keyboard via the mirroid keyboard didn't like it.

I do have to back my comment on the Launcher, there isn't an app drawer by default any more... like why?

No app drawer

The phone button is a direct button to those settings, and the one to the right of it might have been the app drawer, but it goes nowhere. Please bring that back.

I know we can install a different launcher, but with yours, always include an app drawer.
