Hey guys, I know I should post this on a Wolkswagen forum or something like that, but I think I won't receive replies. You are "the pro's"
I'm about to buy a 2008 Wolkswagen Polo 1.6 sportline.
It mounts stock 2din radio, but I'd like to remove it and mount a tablet like Nexus 7.
Do you know if it is possible and which is the easiest way?
I was thinking about disassembly stock radio and use his body for hold the tablet that is placed in a cover.
That looks like pretty easy, but will the tablet fit there?
How can I connect power supply, audio out and an female USB cable for easily update my track list, my ROM or watch a film through USB device?
Could I use a Bluetooth GPS for use it with gMaps / Waze , right?

As long as your nexus 7 is 3G you could use the navigation.
You can do it but it's going to require a lot of custom work. I would forget about trying to use the stock radio as a holder, you will want to build a custom mount out of fiberglass and metal or MDF. Fiberglass is easy to work with for stuff like that, and when its finished you can sand and paint and clearcoat it and it will look as good as the exterior paint.
You will want to use a kernel like Faux's with USB OTG which allows a Y OTG adapter to be plugged in so you can charge while you have an external storage drive connected, or use a USB mouse and keyboard on one plug while charging the other, etc.
The tricky part is going to be if you want to use the Nexus 7 as your receiver. I'm thinking your best bet is to go with a nice receiver/head unit with bluetooth, and mount it somewhere hidden if you don't want to see it.
The Pioneer App Radio and other similar head units will work with a lot of apps from the play store to communicate apps with your receiver. and vice versa. You could mount it in the dash also, or you could mount a smaller radio without the LCD and everything under the seat or in the glove compartment, and either use the remote or hack the nexus 7/USB to be hardwired.
Check out this guys link. Obviously those statements up above are just suggestions/ideas to get the thinking process started

I used to have an installation business and build a lot of custom interiors for my own show trucks and for friends and fellow club members, stuff like that. I don't know about the inside of a Nexus 7 and hard wiring it to work with the "brain" of a nice head unit to control the inputs and outputs and tuner and all that business.
But feel free to send me a PM if you want to discuss things I'm familiar with or just brainstorm.
Does anyone know where i can find a replacement usb flex cable that will work for my phone? (Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition - GT-I9505G)
It charges but won't connect via USB data. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Hello,
Make sure that isn't PC or USB cable problem (try another PC/cable if possible). If nothing changes try to factory reset or reflash factory image
If still not working and you're sure that your USB connector it's broken, you can buy the replacement on eBay, search for "galaxy s4 usb flex" or "galaxy s4 daughterboard"
You can use component from i9505/i9505g/i9507/i9508 and US/Canada etc variants. I'm not sure about i9500 component.

I am having the same issue
I have attempted to use the MirrorLink fuction with a Joying Quadcore 4.4.4 unit. I tried both an Asus Zenfone 2 and a Nexus 5X. The Drive Mode installs on the mobile phone and then says it requires an update. You have no choice but to update as "Later" will not work. The Drive Mode Version 1.5.22 attempts to download and always sticks at 99%. I have searched all over for this APK unsuccessfully.
If you have any luck please update. Thanks!

Hello,
I've tcpdumped the app and found that the app tries to download this apk: source.carbit.com.cn/package/20160127/CarMan.88888888.2.1.27.release_cec7.apk
Good luck.
easy connect app sux mine only shows Chinese characters can make heads or tails of it smh
the drive mode on mine is good. i installed the one it intalls on the phone and installed the one called drive mode ' search for wuhan carbit for the correct one'
worked for me, and i use it loads
Hi everyone I have just taken a beautiful Xiaomi mi5s pro with MIUI 8.3, I come from a Honor 7.
With Honor I was quietly mirroring with the car radio, a Chinese stereo with android 5.1 which, with Honor, worked perfectly with the easyconnect and drive mode.
Actually, by activating USB debugging, the Cell screen is displayed in the car radio and you can control the touch from the car screen.
With the mi5s instead it connects and plays the phone screen but the touch does not work, if I use it from the cellphone it also moves on the radio, but not inverse. Does anyone know how to solve it?
sorry for my english
Had to do a factory reset on my headunit because it wouldn't boot. After factory reset the mirroring app is gone. Contacted support and they let me know once it has been reset, it's too late. Can someone try backing the app up to an APK and uploading to see if I can use it?
I can do it for ya tomorrow.

files attached, try it out and let me know
The mirror app has not gone (only the shortcut from jeg desktop has gone) you just have to install it again from the OEM icon on the units desktop. Select the OEM icon, select APK and find the Easyconnect app in the listing. Push it to install it.

W.... Wow. I contacted the customer support and they said "Once the unit has been factory reset you will not be able to use the connect function anymore"
Thank you, gentleman and scholar! It does not want to see to want to connect to my phone but I'll chalk that up to the program being buggy and needing a different USB cable.

They say the same on their homepage (that its gone after reset) - but we know better
BTW i haven't succeeded either in connecting my iPhone using the connect function. No big deal, I can't se what i would use it for. Almost any program i could think of mirroring to the unit can be installed directly on the unit, so why bother with mirroring

Is it the last in Malaysk?

FWIW, the EasyConnected app doesn't work with iOS 9 AirPlay mirroring (same as most other third party mirroring apps).
If you are looking for an alternative, Splashtop's Mirroring 360 works well for me on my Joying HU.

Yes it is, and it is working:good:
Can you confirm either installing from the OEM folder, or the download worked? I want to install malaysk ROM, but I have the same issue, need the mirroring, and now joying have also responded "fac reset will erase license and you only get 1". I really dont get this approach, they shpuld give better info, but anyway, hoping you had an update on this.
Also, how well does it work overall? I am just getting started, so any heads up would be great.
I had the Easy Connect app working fine with my phone prior to installing Malaysk's ROM. After reinstalling Easy Connect, I had my phone connect once, then the HU told me that the cable was bad, and now I cannot connect at all (Keep getting 0x11 error).
Any suggestions on how to make it work again?
I can now state that installing Malaysk's ROM and reinstalling Easy Connect does work*. I am pleased to say that I have used the screen mirroring to my satisfaction. (But, I cannot say what happened to get it to work, it just kind of happened).
Unfortunately, the phone initially goes into "Drive Mode" which, aside from being annoying, does not allow use of the Head Unit's screen. So, I must fiddle with my phone even longer in order to get out of that mode so I can use the mirroring correctly.
I also have not found a good way to force the phone to be in landscape mode. The one app I found that put it into that mode correctly had issues that interfered with other phone features to such an extent that I decided removing the app was my best option.
*This assumes the phone and Head Unit paired in the first place. My first Head Unit (Single Core) would never pair at all (before or after root).
My phone (HTC M8) just updated to the latest ROM (Marshmallow, maybe), and now Easy Connected does not work. It goes through all the motions, but the Head Until stays dark. Hopefully something changes soon.

Same issue here with the head unit staying dark. Any update here?
Update EasyConnected.

Hey everybody i have a problem with Easy connected in Honda connect by HRV and i have an error 0x11 its adb-ec not found not exist. Whats is this?
The game controller was working great until yesterday's 5.0.2 update. After my 2015 Shield TV updated and stabilized (and was restarted a few times for good measure,) I realized the controller was no longer working or paired. Now I can't pair it at all.
I fully charged it up just in case. I hold the Nvidia logo on both Shield TV and Controller until they both start blinking, set them within inches of one another, but they never pair. They just keep blinking forever, and I let them sit like this for 30 minutes. I tried countless times with same result - no matter what I do they just don't pair.
I did not yet try to pair the actual Shield TV remote because I use a Logitech Harmony Ultimate with Hub, and it's working fine via IR, so there's no BT interference there. I also have another BT game controller from my old Amazon Fire TV. It's listed as paired under "Other controllers" but I haven't tested it yet.
Has anyone encountered this problem? What workarounds can I try?
I upgraded yesterday and then did a factory reset, paired the controller fine but was a bit trickier than when i first setup with MM.
What i did was just hold the nvidia logo on the controller from my couch(no need to touch the SATV) and KEPT pressing it until the shield recognised and paired it, so do not remove your finger when it starts blinking. Took less than 20 seconds.
You could also "forget" the controller (removing any trace of it; like when you forget a wifi network) if you get bad behavior and then try pairing again as i did.

I'll try a factory reset when I get home today. I can't "forget" the controller because it's not paired yet.
For some reason my controller only pairs when the shield is connected via WiFi. It won't connect when it's using ethernet!? And it was the same on MM too. Any ideas guys?

I also paired it while connected to wifi but now i have plugged in ethernet cable and controller keeps working. Didnt have to repair. The only thing i notice is that the back button (left side of nvidia button) is not working properly. In MM 3.3 i remember worked fine.

Same problem here. Been fine since new, and hasn’t used it for a month or two and charged it and nothing. Can’t re pair it at all it just flashes .
You have to to disable ipv6 in the network settings
