That's actually one of its few purposes , so far. Upload your music to Google music, then when you have a Q selected the sound comes from the Q instead of your phones speaker. Same thing with play movies and YouTube. Optical out, HDMI out, or a 25 watt amp if you don't have a system.
But strictly from your sdcard , no. You'd have to have it uploaded to work. You might be happier with a Bluetooth reciever module.

Thank friend your reply. Oh! that means this device useless for me. My country Google play music not available. I try to purchase Nexus Q from eBay and play my phone SD file via this device.

You can sign up by using a proxy to look like you're in the US. Look for a tutorial on using Netflix from abroad, it's the same deal. You only need to be 'in' the US to register, then you can upload and play music without the proxy after that.
From a Canadian streaming tunes from his Q
Hi,
I "recently" bought a S5 (G900F).
My car hifi supports MTP, so I in theory it should work fine with my S5.
That isn't so far of, since I can access music on my phone, but, sadly, not on its 64GB SD card, where I store my music.
I wondered which one was at fault, my car hifi, or my mobile. Searching the web, didn't give me any answers.
Where do you ask for help, if it isn't clear where the problem originates from?
Right when I was about to give up, my wife plugged in her S4 mini, and it worked fine!
Now it's bugging me, again.
I checked the Android version (both are 4.4.2), the settings (both have developer settings enabled). The only difference I could find is the kernel version.
Does anyone have an idea what I need to do, to be able to access my SD card with my car hifi?
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: Just to make it clear, I don't want to use AUX or Bluetooth, since both require interaction with my mobile, if I want to change the playlist. This can be quite expensive, in my country. MTP can be controlled by the car hifi.
P.P.S.: Using the phones storage for music would work, but would make the 64GB SD a waste of money.
Hello,
People i will appreciate some help.
I would like to buy a watch/sports tracker able to play stored on the device music trough bluetooth headset (no phone needed).
Device with storage where i can store some music and go run and listen music without having my phone with me.
I don't want to spend a lot of money as well .. you know i don''t run that much .. so maybe something China made.
Thanks
smartq zwatch maybe?

The zwatch is good for music via the 3.5mm jack or through Bluetooth, which was what i mostly used it for it had a built in pedometer along with few other health apps plus with the adding of a custom rom you could add other health apps through the play store. I had Spotify on mine with 300+ songs.
the watch ranges from $75-$120 4gb rom which only 2.05gb can be used for other storage such as music, photos, etc.
But if your looking for more storage and longer battery life then there's the zgpax s5 which comes with 4gb rom with can have an extended 32gb micro sd card, with a 500mah battery and upgrade battery that you can get that has 700mah but you loose the 3.5mm jack, waterproof function. but you don't have to put a custom rom on it to get the play store.
I have seen this question come up on forums more than once but never with a definite solution.
I upgraded from an S4 to a Note 4 over the last month and all of a sudden, the default music player auto starts when my phone connects to the car radio (the same car I have had the whole time) via bluetooth. I have tried apps like "Bluetooth Connect & Stop Play" but only works like 1 out of 10, I even used a tasker like app "Llama", which seemed to help a little (basically won't override the behavior).
This is such an annoyance since buying the phone that I am considering rooting the thing and disabling the default music player..only thing that makes me hesitate is that I am thinking that whatever the design flaw this is, will just continue when another music app become default...or a custom ROM. Only other option I have is to delete my SD card music location so the player doesn't have any music to play but then whats the point of having the music on the SD card in the first place.
If anyone else have any ideas, I sure would appreciate it.
Hi Everyone,
Searched for this topic and couldn't find a thread on this. Anyone have any experience with these headunits? I've seen them advertised for BMW, Mercedes replacement headunits. Apparently they run Android 5.0, have 1gb of ram, so I'm assuming they are some variant of the PX3 or RK3188 chipset, and they are also rooted per some other users.
Here is a link to the one I bought although they are available through a host of other resellers as well:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-25-HD-A...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
1. Keep original CD/Radio function,no need tear down the original car's CD/radio player.
2. 10.25"hd capacitive touch screen, resolution (1280*480)
3. BT Phone Book, BT music
4. MP5/SD/USB/1080P playing/AV
5. Reversing tracks display
6. Built in special Can Bus decode box
7. Built in GPS, compatible with 2D/3D map
8. Compatible with external DVR/360°panorama /Auto reversing viewing
11.OSD Language:English/Chinese/Taiwan etc.
12.Support Phone Link
13.Platform:Android 5.0
14.Power Supply: DC 10.8- 14.4V
15.GUI: Similar to AUDI original navigation system GUI
16.Support MMI control
I've gone into the settings and there is no real information there. Is there a way to go into recovery on these units and get an image dump to figure out how we can modify some of the settings? The two that I would like to adjust are the temperature readout in degrees Farenheit instead of Celcius and the distance in MPH instead of Km/h. Thanks.
Do you have any videos over-viewing the system, This looks interesting
Yes, If you do a youtube search for 10.25 android, you should be able to pull up a number of videos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kCFLNeIl24 is one from Chris, one of the resellers that is active on the other forums and provides some support for install and such.
One of the drawbacks seems to be that the temp and speed are locked to the metric system and not imperial that is commonly used in the US.
I just installed mine on my 2010 C300. Liking it so far but would like to be able to root it so I can use folder mount to store app data to SD card. By the way, where is the SD sd slot? Also, I can't get phone mirroring to work.
Do they have them in 10.1" ? Some 10.1" units seem more up-to-date and more ram
Looks like on android 5.0 you can use sd card as main storage to install apps so I won't need to root. I'm going to try a 64 gb card and see if it's recognized.
Also if you guys are brave enough, maybe this root method will work on these. Although it's only been done on the android 4.4.4 of the 10.25 inch Avin units.

I have a 10.1" in my other car and you are right, the 10.1" units are more up to date, more recent version of android, 2gb of ram and a faster processor usually. They are very responsive. Unfortunately, for the 10.2" units, these are made for specific BMW, Mercedes cars (and others?) that do not have other screen options since other size screens would look out of place or are not specifically made for these cars. Hope that helps.

The SD card slot is on the back of the monitor/screen on the right (passenger) side. There should also be a slot for a sim card, but from what I read in the other forums, it seems that sim cards are not working? Not sure on that.
As far as I know, it already comes rooted, so don't think you need to root. Have you been able to install SuperSU from the play store? I'm having some problems with my install since it seems mine did not ship with the right cable, so haven't messed around the OS yet.
Anyone able to get an image dump to look into some of the options?

Thanks. Found out about the sd card slot from mother BMW forum.
I would check if I can install supersu but I can't install any more apps. I've only installed waze, gboard, LMT pie. It shows I have 12 gb of space left in internal but even if I select internal storage as installation memory, it still tells me I'm out of space. Are you able to install more apps?

I removed Waze so I can install supersu but supersu states I'm not rooted. So I do not think these come rooted. Maybe someone got lucky and got one rooted.
Another question for you. When you are listening to OEM radio and you switch to youtube, does your audio switch? I thought mine did the other day but now it won't. When I play youtube videos, the stock radio audio is still present and won't switch over unless I go back to the command and set audio from AM/FM to Aux.
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.
UPDATE: Fix for my memory issue (for now)
Root with Kingroot
Install Foldermount and move app data to SD card (I currently have a 32gb sd card in the unit)

Do you have issues where the OEM output won't show up on screen? Android side is still there however.
Anyone know where we can get the home luancher APK for W204?

Hi,
I managed to get the complete firmware and other update files from my supplier. The files include the BCLauncher.apk that is the actual home launcher for the Mercedes units. I have tried to unpack it but it seems to be password protected.
I noticed you have posted some very informative info on this unit at mbworld. If you are interested I can send you the files to play around with, maybe you can find a way to crack that launcher. Just PM me here or over at mbworld. I am really itching to make some long overdue changes to that launcher....
Hi ... i’m keen to see if I could make some improvement on the launcher and firmware ... would you mind uploading to Dropbox or Google drIve hence I can download and have a try could you also share some screenshots for the home screen, system version for reference. Thanks.
I’ve got the same issue for the off market tablet on my Benz too, can you please share the files to me too?
I have one of that display in my cla 45 amg. With root and some modding it is not bad. But they are not running android 5.1.1 like it says. When you look in build.prop you will find api number of 4.2.2
so i played today with my display and i debloated it (removed all unneded apps like telephone, contacts, wallpapers etc etc) and created a swap partition on my external sd card and with kernel auditor changed the governour from hotplug to ondemand one. now the display is faster and for example it dont needs anymore 30 seconds for open spotify. i cant upload a rom since my display have a modded scatter file for have 3gb data partition and not only 1gb
I'm thinking of getting one for my W204 C-Class. However, i don't like the "style" that much. Does anyone know if there is a 7" or 8,8" Version of those HUs out there, that integrate with the factory control joystick of the Mercedes?
