HI,
I have purchased an unbranded unit from Amazon by KC Navigation - B07XLGNNLM
However a few problems which i would appreciate some pointers with;
1. I cant seem to find is how to find an MCU update for this version? STM32-20190622-11-KC1-26
2. The internal Microphone is un-usable, So Im hoping an update can fix? I have disconnected it temporarily and using an external mic, but this is not great either, however is improved.
3. Cannot get the unit to sleep and instant boot even when selecting "auto sleep for 48 hours" in the hidden settings menu.
4. There is a 5 second delay on the reverse image when unit is booted, if cold start it is instant when android is still loading.
5. There is a "work password" set when inside the hidden menu when i select "settings item hide" which I cannot work out the password for, I have tried all the usual ones listed on here, it is numbers only as far as im aware.

What did the reseller suggest to resolve the issues?
They have ignored all issues other than the microphone. I have sent them recordings using the sound recorder app as they asked but they claim they cannot open the files.
Wired in a Lapel Microphone from RS and all seems a lot better.
Can anyone help with getting the workpassword and the standby booting?
Seller has responded to say there is no password set. So either untrue or there is a generic one? Still can’t get an answer as to how to go into standby rather than cold boot every time I switch on ignition. I do a lot of short journeys so quite frustrating.
Still no help from seller.. any suggestions?

I have a similar head unit to yours. On mine I can go Settings -> General -> Shutdown delay when ACC off, and can set sleep time from 0 to 2 hours. This works.
I can do this also but it still cold boots

Odd. The B+ and ACC connections aren't transposed are they?
In what section of the secret menu did you find that 48hr setting?
I also wish someone knew the 'work password'. I've tried 22 different ones from this and other forums and none work.
Settings>system>about devices>
Then press kernel and OS version one after the other 3 times and hidden menu comes up.
Module>support standby.
Then back into the menu where you select Acc delay

I did reply the other day but it has not been posted.
If you go into''about device' in settings. the alternately click on 'Kernel Version' and 'OS version' a hidden menu appears.
then go back to ACC time and select 48 hours.
Mine is wired correctly but just doesnt seem to support it

Thanks.. My unit is a bit different from yours and the secret menu does not have a 'Support standby" item so can't get to "Acc delay".
p.s. Found the 'work password" on my unit is 666666 but you can't do much with what it brings up.

First I find my Swiftkey generates an error message at boot after KitKat update...
Now I try finding directions on my phone and then press the button for directions and get the below error.
I'm starting to not like this KitKat update. Can anyone please test by searching for directions to... McDonalds or anywhere and see if yours generate the same error?
When you go to location settings... there are no settings for high accuracy or device only.
Thanks.

Did you actually check your GPS settings?
KitKat has multiple location settings (device only, low power, etc). You may be set to low power which will give you that error.
I'd get it all the time in KK Roms when I'd travel since I leave it on low power until I need maps.
Thanks. I got frustrated and wiped my phone again since I didnt have much on it from last night and when using map it gave me the error message.
But somehow after reading your message I went into location setting and it was set to high frequency and when I loaded the map app it worked!
I don't know how it changed to high frequency... there is no bullet to activate it. Frustrating but at least it's working.

I think there's something that asks you when you first launch the new ROM and the default is low power mode.

Update on the nav... it wasnt until later in the evening where I found the button to change to high frequency... you go to settings > location section and for some reason wasnt apparent to me before that you can press "Mode" at the top to change. I thought it was just a label and not a button that drills down.

I keep seeing people call it "high frequency", r u sure not mistaken with "high accuracy"
KK has combined Android location and Google location access, so you have to go in there, tap on the seem-to-be-gray-out button and change it to whatever you like. There are 3 options there. Explore it!

Could this be reversed? Seems to drain battery unless I leave the GPS on. This is not what I usually have on WLD. It's always 3 or 4%. [emoji15] lol
I have not found a way to reverse it. I'm just happy to get gps back.
I started getting GPS issues after 4.4.4. It would take forever to get a location set by GPS...and keeps getting disrupted during navigation. Just tried this fix and now it has gotten better. Well it seems to get a gps lock in about 6 seconds, can't wait to try out Navigation tomorrow!
update: This method improved it but not as good as before the update.
I tried this twice and my gps still sucks
Is this good? Don't really know what I'm looking for. Lol.
Thanks. Not sure how you figured this out but It works for me.

10 feet accuracy is awesome. Considering how wide roads are, you won't have any issues

That's how they should be I think. My phone was fine too when stock. It's safestrap that made a number of things weird
GPS hasn't worked for me ever since I can remember. I tried the hardware fix to bend the pins upup and still not finding ANY satellites. Any suggestions?
I've only tested this on Att stock. It may not be working because your on a custom rom based on another firmware or they removed those services. I can't really help. I've moved on to the Note 4.
Hey everyone -
I'm posting this here since it's related to our S5's now that Lollipop is out. I'm hoping that some of you may have recent Honda cars from the past few years with the HondaLink system, since this should pertain to quite a few models. I originally posted this on 9thgencivic.com about my 2015 Civic EX.

OK, this might be a long post. I'll start with tl;dr. Despite promises and initial attempts to incorporate MirrorLink 1.1 and enable mirroring between Android phones and our head units, it looks like Honda has failed. It's not just that they aren't implementing, but I believe they tried and just didn't have the engineering prowess to figure it out.
Here are some videos of me showing how I have come to this assumption:
Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfO_cQFRwgg
Part 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LcRlHkg0ik
And an image showing that my phone supports MirrorLink 1.1

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So here's the full story. As I stated in an earlier post, I was in touch with someone from Honda corporate who told me that despite all of the previous promises, Honda will NOT be adding support to enable Android integration into our cars. It's also been widely known (assumed?) that our cars have MirrorLink 1.1 support; this is visible inside the diagnostic menus and multiple people have been told this by Honda.
Earlier this week, Verizon pushed out an update to Samsung S5 phones, upgrading the operating system to Lollipop/Android 5.0. I was going through the phone's menus, and noticed that there is a new MirrorLink option in Settings. I also saw elsewhere on the phone (photo above) that it's MirrorLink 1.1. Needless to say, I was VERY excited about what this may mean for us!
I went home, pulled out a USB cable, and tried my hardest to get my phone and car to see each other. Through regular options, I couldn't do anything new. However, when I went into Honda's diagnostic menus (hold Power + Menu + Eject on the car stereo) and then into the Unit Function menu and then down to the MirrorLink menu, I started to see some information.
The MirrorLink menu was reporting that it was seeing my phone! It had basic information about the time/date that it was plugged in and my phone's model. Clicking on the bottom buttons inside that menu, I could see MORE info. Specifically, I could see that the car and phone were trying to connect, but the car was reporting "Parameter Information Error" and some other errors statuses. You can see this in the first video above.
While in that submenu, I unplugged and replugged the USB cord in the bottom of my phone a few times. This is where things get even more exciting! My phone actually entered MirrorLink mode!! Unfortunately, the car was still spitting back error messages. Instead of just showing a "Disconnected" state, though, I started seeing various states such as "Connecting" "Speech Recognition Impossible" and "No Music Application". Additionally, on the car's main menu, the big "Link" icon now reads a new error: "Unable to start the app. When safe, please check your mobile device." You can see this in the second video above. Unfortunately, that's as far as I can get. I couldn't get anything to mirror.
So here's my assumption. Honda's engineers tried to implement MirrorLink and simply failed. We have what are essentially the remnants of their attempt throughout the menus. They won't be upgrading our system because they just simply don't have the software engineers capable. And now I'm just hoping that this is the only engineering fail that they have in our cars...
Hopefully someone else can find out some more info based on this. I still think we are very close to getting this working.
On My Auris TS HSD I have the same information on my phone... and my Touch&Go 2 just seems to ignore it at all
I'm not sure which version of mirrorlink is the touch &go2 has if it is 1.0 or 1.1

Based on the comments on this blog post, it looks like you are probably on MirrorLink 1.0.
which means I'm probably screwed.... S5 doesn't seems to support it
Hello btonetbone,
In Lollipop, how can you display the screen entitled "Use details" that you have uploaded in your first post ?

I went to Settings -> Battery and clicked on Android System. If you scroll down in there, you'll see all of the packages within the Android System using battery.

Hi same issue here, I bought a crappy Silverstrong that works well and I have 2 from LEHX which don't. I contacted them with the answer that it can't be changed.
The Silverstrong has a Android 7.1 and LEHX 8.1. My conclusions are that they can't support this feature with 8.1.

Ignore the message and deselect "open light" to turn LEDs off during day. In my car they still turn on with the car lights.
And stop trying to change colors in the cheapo units. Only in the higher end ones you will find real RGB LEDs.
I logged into my android head unit using my google account (gsuite) and was forced to setup a screen pin lock.
Now every time I start the car it boots into the Lock Screen and there is no way to remove it, I removed the account and it still shows there.
Even when I disable google smart lock and find my device it gets automatically enabled after reboot.
Anyone know how I can get the screen lock menu again it doesn’t show in settings/security but it disappeared.
I hope someone can help
Attached is the version number of my unit

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue.
Yes i removed it in the end
from the play store download shortcut maker, you can create a shortcut for anything on your android device or search all the plugins and modules.
Search for pin or passcode or screen lock and it will show you all the apps that have that word in the menu including System settings.
Create the shortcut, and keep trying until you find it.
Once you find the right menu run it and you will get that menu again and disable it.
the shortcut maker application will let you find hidden menus that you can’t access on your screen
if you are still stuck I’ll send you a photo of the shortcut I created
Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting it fixed using a similar method.
I used Nova Launcher to create an Android activity shortcut/widget on the desktop.
It took a lot of scrolling and trial and error, but in the end the activity that got it done was called .password.ScreenLockSuggestionActivity.
Thanks!

I just figured out how to fix this, and deleting Credentials and disabling through the regular settings menu does not work. I downloaded an app from the Play Store called Android Settings X. There you can reach the hidden settings. Choose "Choose screen lock (SetupChooseLockGeneric)" to remove the Screen Lock. Bam, fixed!

If that option doesn't work there is another one, 2 options down, called "Settings (ScreenLockSuggestion)". This is the only way I know of that actually removes the Lock Screen and will not revert back.
My issue with screensaver is when I first start the unit the first time I use a SWC it turns the screensaver on! Only does it once and then it is fine and SWC function as intended until next time the unit is restarted. I dont think it is an issue on android end as I have the screensaver turned off in there and when turned on it looks different, I think it has something to do whatever settings there is in the headunit as it has an option for screen saver to be: screen off or customize (which is a clock but no options to customize...)
I cant find any information on how to fix this issue anywhere and it seams I may have bought a strange android stereo (B200?) as I find all information I find is irrelevent and looks different to how mine is.
