10.25” Android head unit / display (RSNAV)

[elscotto80]

If you google "RSNAV" it will take you where you need to go.

We need to remember no sales talk on these threads or they will suffer the same date as the original.

Yes. The hazard button lights up. Just double checked it.

Here are a couple more photos of the unit Installed.

I have some questions for anyone that's willing to answer them.

New owner of:
Audi A4 2014 (B8?) with concert.

I am definitely interested in the 10.25 unit.

My first question, I have already had this reverse cam unit installed from cargadgets:
carsgadget.com/product-pages/2008-2016-audi-a4-a5-q5-allroad-kit

Would this kit be compatible with this 10.25 unit or would I have to remove it?
If so, can I still use the camera that came with the cargadgets kit for this unit?
carsgadget.com/product-pages/audi-vw-license-plate-backup-camera-1

Second question, I noticed some people say you need VAG COM to edit some settings in order to enable sound?
How can I verify if this is enabled already or not? In my media section of the stock console, there is no AUX, there is a round symbol that says empty though...
Would Carista be able to enable this option?
(I am trying to make sure I have all the right tools in place before I purchase.)


Third question, I read through this entire thread, are there any known problems with my specific model of vehicle and the 10.25 unit if anyone has any experience?

Your car is considered a B8.5 since it's post-facelift.

If that camera kit has a standard composite video connector it will work.

If you don't have the AUX setting it's not enabled. I'm not sure if Carista has the coding in place to enable AUX. From the list on their website it doesn't seem so.

3/ I believe that bluetooth is currently disabled because of stability issues and that they're also working on it...

I thought I had read that on one of the threads but couldn't find it again. That would explain why it doesn't work though.

Ahhh the joys of having a pre-release product but then again we get to play with it before anyone else! pretty cool...

And I can confirm that aux can only be enabled through VCDS... no such option in carista, at least for now...

Hi,

Not sure if this is correct group but I have order from AliExpress Android 10.25 Head Unit in Audi A4. Look like almost the same like RSNAV.

I would like advice if it is possible to find Android 10 build for this unit.

They have put old Android version 7.0 and in Factory setting code there is password which I fail to find out.
Seller is not too much of help, I wanted help if any of you expert can point me in right direction where I can find new firmware and maybe what would be Factory setting code password to edit front screen and put icon like DAB+.
My car is RHD and if I open right door display showing left etc…
Please see more info about this unit:

Nothing is impossible but the answer probably isn't what you want. Head over to the XDA forums and look for instructions to build AOSP. Or track down your CPU and search for other devices with that CPU. You might find am existing rom that you could flash onto your head unit. However, obviously, this is a huge risk, even if you did already know what you were doing.

Ultimately you are probably SOL and better off paying the premium for RSNav or going the same AliExpress route in a year or so when it supports a newer OS

Hello,

I just installed a new 12.3" S3 RSNAV. This has two slots in the back. Which one is for the SIM card? Is the other for a micro SD card? Does anyone know the proper orientation for inserting the SIM card?

The previous thread was deleted because Daniel himself was talking about pricing and ordering on his website.

Talking about something you purchased is allowed if you are not affiliated with the company. Look at all the threads that talk about items someone purchased on eBay or other sites that are not vendors like fogs, mirrors, grills etc.

[Liquid Smoke]

Daniel - what are the chances of Android 7.0 on these? or is that just not necessary or not feasible for the next few years or something? i'm guessing no need for 7.0 and 6.0 can do everything still? i'm just wondering like 1-2 years down the line if 6.0 will still be good or become outdated, any chance for 7.0 or future OS version upgrades or anything like this?

For Android 7.0 upgrade -
We asked our partner to upgrade it, but I am not sure if these incapable assh*les can do it on time. MT8783V CPU that we are using can run the Android 7.1 64bit.
All the generic models with Android 7.1.2 in the market are kind of fake. it's 32bit Android 7.1.2 loosely based on Android 5.1.
Android 6.0 isn't bad for now. Since 5.1, Android got a lot of changes internally, but as far as I know, Android 6.0 is as fine as Android 7.0 on the internals.
As far as I know, Android 7.0 has certain requirements like supporting VULCAN API something like that, but MT8783V is missing something, so it cannot get 'official upgrade'.
However, I see our Taiwanese friend MediaTek has sorted it out to bypass such. The only problem is our partner who fabricates the core board would do it on time.
These assh*les are causing every misery. We might go to another partner in far future...

In conclusion, 7.1 seems possible and let's pray together for it. But 6.0 would be as fine as 7.1 for its lifetime.

I hope mediatek has gotten better in years. From my days of android development mediatek has a terrible reputation for bad soc's and terrible gps chips and even worse with android development access. The never even came close to Qualcomm soc's

However this was some years ago so hopefully they have gotten better

Nothing got better. But what the good is if someone pays they sell everything.

Yea they are the best at producing really cheap high and mid grade chips but the quality is so so. Good for mass production products though using their soc's

The real problem is major SOC makers want huge quantity to place an order. Rockchip and MTK accept small orders. But Rockchip's performance is mediocre ... even though they are quick to support software updates. MTK is like what you said. The terrible part is software tweaks. The mean of the communication with MTK is 'money'.

Tonight I decided to try installing DashCMD and get it connected. Works like a charm. I’m using the Kiwi 3 OBDII adapter. Connected very quickly and remained connected just fine. Didn’t even need to discover or connect the adapter first.


Carrying on with the car theme tonight I decided to give my Ross-Tech HEX-NET adapter a try. Downloaded and installed their VCDS-MOBILE application. Installed and connected perfectly well. This adapter I did need to connect using the Realsun WiFi interface first. I can’t remember my password so I only got to load up the login screen. Not sure this will end up working as I think it also needs to connect to the internet. (Which means also using my iPhone as a personal hotspot) so this might not end up working without a 3G card installed in the unit, since the VCDS-Mobile uses WiFi to connect to the HEX-NET adapter.


Have nothing but great things to say about this unit.

REALLY loving it.

looks like a great product so far but i have a few questions.
How is the sound quality as far and clarity and equalizing of music?
Is there any humming or buzzing?
If so is the any as volume increases?
How loud can you turn up the volume?
How will this work with playing music from an iPhone over Bluetooth and wired?

Sound quality is better than the factory unit. (I have the B&O upgrade) I am planning on using the RSNAV unit as the basis for an audiophile quality installation.

I've found using the PowerAmp application directly within the Android head unit works very well. The application allows for playback of all sorts of file formats and bit rates, including flac.
I've got the Apple Car Play adapter as well, and have been playing music through ACP, and through bluetooth streaming. I think the cleanest sound is from the Android head unit using the PowerAmp application. The PowerAmp application has a built in 7 or 10 band EQ ... can't remember ... but I don't plan to use it. I will be installing Kicker IQ amps eventually and will be controlling all EQ/DSP/Crossover functions within the amps.

Volume can be cranked up pretty good. Sounds better than the factory head unit, even though the sound is still coming through the factory B&O amp/speakers for now.

Once your iPhone is paired with the Android unit, you simply play the music on your iPhone, it streams through the head unit. Wired is the same. Apple Car Play, launch the interface, plug the phone into the lightning port and then use ACP to play music, ask Siri stuff, whatever.

this is really awesome but id rather this be with a slightly smaller screen and keep the airbag light and make the hazard light more accessible so it looks like a factory setup. NJ and surrounding states will flag us for no passenger airbag light, and it should be throwing a code for that light being out on the SRS module if im not mistaken.

We have 7", 10.1" already available. Could offer 8.8 inch in future.
Also, for passenger airbag light, we are making new buttons to support for that. Yes, it is throwing a code so that's why we are rushing to make new button for some states.

well damn, i wanted to get the 7" for oem look... but... but..... so schmexy..,..

Do you have some pics of the 7" unit?

[Liquid Smoke]

it just swaps right into the factory screen location. just pics i got off the site:

[Spawne32]

oh ok, its not like the floating screen with the 10"

[Liquid Smoke]

nope, keeps the oem/factory look. which looks pretty good for those that want it, but i need a nice big display and if im installing this i might as well go all out, i went for the 10.25, waiting for delivery anytime soon now i guess.

not sure if you had already but check out the website - rsnav [com], you'll see each different size/model and some pics and other details.

Indeed your item is on its way.

i got someone else's tracking number is working and proceeding, but didn't get yours and few others.*


The shipping forwarder is saying like, 'Dude we are f**king busy here and DHL will send a text message to individual customer when the shipments are handed over to dhl usa, leave us alone.'


I hate this guys for everything, but this is the largest one with best rate... Really sorry for this crappy service... I think i have to find better ones...

[Liquid Smoke]

no problem, i dont mind waiting for the shipping i know it's coming from china so it's expected. can't have it all, but it's gonna be sweet once we do. don't apologize for 3rd parties, you're doing an amazing job as is with everything and thanks to you for even bringing it this far as of now.

[Chalifour]

Hi Daniel, thanks for the great work!
Any updates on the 10.25" 3G MMI ( RSA 12305 ) availability?

[ducati]

If I would choose one the 7" be my choice.Fit looks so clean aka OEM.

So these work? I tried a third party nav and it knocked out my power steering along with other warnings.
