*UPDATE* Was able to find former employee who got me the files I needed.
We purchased a Ford Explorer with a RoadNav s160 M254. I am trying to get the firmware update, but Roadnav.com appears to be down. Are they out of business? Would anyone happen to have the last firmware update for this? Thanks!

Turns out that they weren't an employee, just an enthusiast. Leigh in Austrailia, [email protected].

Also, I was able to resolve the bootloop by completely killing the power connection and resetting the unit. Good luck.

No, there is no reset button. I disconnected the power connection and waited 10 min before reconnecting while holding the SRC Button and that reset the unit. I followed these instructions.
How to upgrade your firmware?
1 Download the RoadNav Android S160 firmware for your model here
2 Extract and Copy the files into the SD card and insert the SD card into the GPS Slot (it must be this slot)
3 Power OFF your radio (turn car key to OFF position)
4 Wait about 5-10 minutes for SRC light to go OFF
5 Hold the SRC button and turn car key to ON position. You should hear a beep, keep holding than it beep twice, then loose the source button.
6 Upgrade will start automatically.
7 After about 5 minutes a message at the bottom says Installation complete. BUT, that's not the end of the upgrade.
8 The radio screen goes black and beeps for 1 minute (this is normal, don't touch it !!)
9 After some more updates the "installation is complete please remove card"
10 Remove the SDcard and the radio automatically reboots.

Good luck. These units are a pain.

Eonon has a new Android 6.0 unit posted:
http://www.eonon.com/Android-Car-GPS/2-Din-GPS-Navigation/GA2162.html
However it is only 1GB of RAM, so I'll skip it, looks good though
I got this unit installed yesterday. I like it and it seems very responsive. When I was digging through the menus to change the boot logo. I selected model change, "Toyota Camry" The unit loaded new settings and rebooted. Now my physical buttons don't work and there is a software eject button. I guess what I selected is to change the software to match different radio designs. Any ideas on how to undo this? I've selected just about every option on this list plus done a couple of hard resets.

No, Eonon sent 4 files for me to put on a microsd card and then select software update from the menu. I don't think it really reset anything because it still booted up with the Toyota logo I had selected earlier. So, it would show the Toyota logo, go off and then the logo reappears and then it went to the Maintenance menu. There was no way to move the cursor. If I reset the unit or powered it off by holding the volume knob in, it would just go back to that screen. I could also hold down the power button, then hit reset to go to a screen that says "applying update", but it always just ended up on the same maintenance screen.
Anyways...they provided postage for me to send it back. They should be receiving it today.

I wonder if a USB Keyboard would enable moving the cursor and making a selection...I didn't try it because I don't have one
So I got my new radio from Eonon. This one is working better. I'm able to use the screen mirroring whereas before I couldn't connect. The option to switch models in extra settings is now blank. I really like the resolution of the screen and the 16gb of built-in storage. The only issue I've had is Poweramp will sometimes quit playing music while I navigate with iGo. It seems to be overly aggressive in killing background apps.
has anyone who purchased and hooked up to steering wheel controls able to program the speech/mic button to run "ok google"? another thing...are you guys able to run netflix? i can hear and see normally, until i play a show, then i only have audio...the image doesnt show

I got an Eonon GA2155 no physical buttons..... anyhow I was able to get to the recovery and reset the unit:
Power off the radio, connect an USB keyboard and power back on; got to recovery and use the "arrows" of the keyboard to select the item that you want; once selected press "enter" on the keyboard

Just curious how you got to recovery mode. I'm in a boot loop on my GA2155 and can not figure out for the life of me how to get into recovery with only a reset button. I have a usb KB hooked up but I never get an OS to boot so I'm trying to get to recovery mode right from power up *somehow*
Recovery mode for Eonon ga2162
I'm trying to enter in recovery mode, does anyone here knows the buttons combination to enter in that meme and make a wipe and factory reset?

Hello guys!
I have Xtrons D714A with original ROM (4.4.4) and recently I installed Car Launcher on it. The next day when I powered up the unit again it showed a screen that I have to choose the default launcher for the unit. Anyway the problem is that the touch screen stopped working and I cannot choose anything. The strange thing is that the notification bar is working, I can even dial up the settings bar and enter in the menus, but once I enter there the touch screen does not work as well (it only works in the notification bar).
I tried to reset it trough the reset button but it only resets the settings, I need hard resset to erase Car Launcher. I also tried to turn on the unit while holding all kind of combinations of the hardware buttons but nothing happened - I think that the "power" button is not actually power button because when the unit was working the only thing it did is to get the unit in sleeping mode when I hold it.
I contacted Xtrons but no answer from them by now. Also I saw that I am not the first one with this problem :

http://forum.xtrons.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=143637&title=d714a-touchscreen-not-responding
Can someone help with this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Is there some script that I can upload on SD card and do a hard reset if I power up the unit with it? Or upload new ROM and install it from SD card by the same method, and if yes, can someone provide me ROM file?
@strballer try emailing Xtrons at: [email protected]. They usually reply within a day or two. They should send you a link with a firmware download as they did for my D717AL.
Thanks for your answer! I already contacted them and they suggested to turn off the main power for 15 minutes but as expected this done nothing but just reset the settings of the unit, not hard reset. Anyway I just managed to fix the problem. I connected USB keyboard and I was able then to dial the default home launcher. After that the touch screen was working again. Very strange bug...

They told me there´s no firmware available. Did you mange to have Android 6 on your xtrons D717AL? Since it is sold with this now as far as I read somewhere. I stuck on 5.0
Hi there,
After doing an upgrade my unit it stuck with a black screen and need to get into recovery mode in order to reload a working firmware.
Anyone any idea how to get there?
Tried the reset button for some time with and without home or on/off button and also removed the power source and pressed reset while putting power back but nothing seems to work
So i'm stuck for now :crying:
Any help?
Did you ever get your unit fixed? Did you try restarting with a USB plugged in with the firmware file on it?
No sorry... never got it working again. Had to send it back for a replacement unit.
I've been doing a lot of back and forth with their support on another issue and I've updated my MCU and software so many times now I thought maybe I'd be able to give you a hand.
Do you use any navigation apps on your Avant4? When I use ones that have voice navigation, the voice is getting truncated at the start and end of the directions. Some apps more than others and it seems to be related to those apps that use TTS (Text to Speech).
I'm using Waze via Android Auto. So i'm not having this problem.
So it runs from your phone and just displays on the Avant4? I have Waze running on the unit directly and it gets truncated.
I have al running on my phone and use a Android Auto box.
U can buy it from Avin USA. See website for all options on your Avant4.

If you hold the volume knob until it starts blinking then let go and hold it down again it will boot the unit into recovery mode.
Hi, i just got the car a few days ago and it had an android unit installed.
It was all working fine but since yesterday it got stuck on the android logo.
I tried the reset button, press once, hold 3 sec,5sec,10sec. Nothing.
I have no info about the head unit at all. Can anyone help me identify it and possibly fix it ?
Thanks !
What does seller suggest when contacted for support. What has been tried
As i said, i bought the car a few days ago with the radio installed. So i don't know what model it is or who is the manufacturer...

Try to press the power button until the buttons flash. Release the power button short and press it again. Maybe it needs some timing tests for the second button press.
Edit: and please show me a picture from the back side.

Okay, so this is one of the unknown units from some unknown seller.
You need to get into the system.
Try to reset it as I wrote and then you need to go to Settings --> About tablet (or similar) and post a picture of the MCU and firmware.

In this case I am not able to help.
As long as we don´t get more details of the system used on this unit, it could be everything and each system is different in getting back to life.

Send it back, warranty claim. Cant complain about return freight, as its a unfortunate situation in that we get what we pay for.
At least you now get a chance to read the forums and find out what is worth buying.
