10.25” Android head unit / display (RSNAV)

[briceportier]

I’m considering this upgrade to my 2014 A4 w/ 3g MMI + w/ B/O. Few questions. Will this work with OEM reverse cam?
2. How does this unit do in winter?
Heard someone had issues with subzero temp or that was an isolated incident? 3. I have an existing SD card slot in my middle console, will that still be functional? Thanks

1/ yes
2/ although winters in Madrid are pretty mild we do get close to 0 temps from time to time but I've also gone skiing after fitting the unit and so far so good...
3/ yes

Remember that you do not loose any of the MMI options or functionalities.
Conceptually the RSNav is an overlay not a bypass...

I forgot to tell everyone

To enable the split screen, activate developer option in Android settings, and allow multi-window mode in the developer setting.

Also, we found the cause of what prevent users to root the device. From next firmware, we will make it rootable, but then again the multi-window mode will be lost.
Then again, after a user does rooting it, he/she can bring back multi-windows mode while leaving the unit rooted. It's not possible to make the system rootable while the multi-windows mode is available.

Hello Daniel, I just receive my noise isolator wire yesterday, i am impacient to test it with my Bang & Oluffsen.
I have a question to activate multiwindow you need to tap andorid version for several times? or how can i activate it?
By last, i am interested in a dash cam, i cant install your store's dash cam because in the place that shoul be placed y have a OEM A5 sensors like auto high beams.IS not an option for me Could you recommend another one?
Thanks.

I deleted the high beam assist on my S4 to put a dashcam instead, so it is technically doable, by replacing the whole mirror by one without this assistance but every other function (auto dimming, humidity sensor..) and unchecking the high beam assist in VCDS, but yeah, only works if you're ready to lose that ^^ If not, the majority of dashcams are not integrated to the mirror, so you just stick it on your windshield. I had a Goluk T2 in my A4, it is relatively small, and works well, and at least it is not "GoPro shaped" so less chances to have it stolen.

Daniel congratulation for new store!

I asked few days ago but i did Not get an answer, so i am asking again :-)

In rsnav Wiki the Last fw has the Numbers 755 at the end (10,25 Europe Version). I installed it in July and in the realsun settings under system information the fw has 737 at the end...

Sunday i Had some time and i downloaded it again and installed it.

No Change, the Version is still at 737 is there Something wrong?

So I’m having problems with my unit when I connect my phone to charge t charges like one percent every 30 minutes and also whenever I connect my phone to CarPlay it always ask me to give permission which is pretty annoying. Anybody have a fix to these two problems ?

Have got this update a major changes?

Change log says: 2018.08.06: add more OBD II BT device support(now user can enter passkey for BT device), Fixed Autoplay app stability, fixed intermittant blackout problem.

[cybernet99]

I upgraded tonight and I still have the screen blackout issue? I tried to connect to my Kiwi 3 BT OBDII adapter, but it doesn't find the device when scanning for Bluetooth so I'm not able to use DashCommand yet ... :( I also accidentally dropped my 128GB MicroSD card down into the rails on the drivers seat and when sliding the seat back to get at it so I could fish it out the card got damaged ... Waaa. lol
So I ordered a 256GB MicroSD card tonight. Hope it works in the RSNAV. :)

[whity]

Seems the latest updates are only for the larger screen units and not the 7" units? Asked about it on the forums but it seems Daniel isn't responding at the moment.

[JoeJoeJoe]

I dont update it. No need of things in changelog

I can confirm that a Samsung EVO+ 256GB MicroSD card works perfectly well in our devices for anyone wanting lots of portable storage to add to it for music, movies etc.

[alexdell]

I upgraded yesterday & my Carista Bluetooth OBDII adapter still does not connect w/ the RSNAV. It says connecting for a second & it doesn't do anything. I kept on clicking to connect & nothing, no prompts for password or anything.

Just installed the 8.8.

-What does the connection to my middle speaker achieve?
-I would like to choose my own Nav app. When will that happen?

Don’t bother with it. Daniel advised me to put the male and female together and not connect to center speaker.

For those of you with MMI, how did setup your audio so you would get sound from the apps like youtube or waze? Currently, i can't get any volume out of the non-mmi audio sources. If Ive got Sirius running, for instance, and I switch over to google maps, the audio from sirius continues and i get nothing from the app im running.

thanks,
Rob

[Avee]

Would be good if the middle speaker would be used for notifications. It would be particularly helpful to always get speed trap warnings, no matter what you are doing, or hear the phone ringing when not listening to aux.

[Gocan]

How did you guys root the device? With Kingo root I only get to 97 % and then the unit cuts off the connection to my pc

[freqjn]

Recently installed a 10.25 and was loving it for the first two days. Now I'm having some issues.

In vcds I'm cannot clear the fault 02259 (no communication with info display and control head) and intermittently getting 00658 (no communication with control head). MMI will not shut down on occasion.

I thought it might be a loose pin or pinched wire, but all pins are fine and wires have a little wiggle room.

I also have weird firmware:
System: 1.0.1.07061207 (website version is 1.0.1.06281610)
MCU: 5.3.0512
Can:1.1.9.180423 (seems like an older version, April? Most recent is June.)

I tried to roll back the system, it won't take.

I need help, please advise!

why is shipping $75 for the 10.1" unit but only $50 for the 10.25" unit?

[a4android]

Cause it's bigger.
10.1 is tall and wide and replacing entire trim but 10.25" is like a tablet. The box is 1.5 times bigger.

[freqjn]

There is an 8 pin connector (A of J685) that has two wires for the OEM display that is unused after install. It seems I'm getting errors because of this. Did I miss something? Am I supposed to leave it unconnected?

[boere]

It is normal, it keeps unconnected. I have the Same Error. But i can live with it. Maybe it is possible to make a "Bridge"

Daniel,
One thing that is bothering me is that I am oblivious to Android notifications and incoming calls when not listening to "aux" as a source. I found an app called Soundabout which allows very flexible routing of sounds, provided that there are multiple outputs available. I would like to put in following requests to allow for notifications/voice outputs overriding other sources:
- (preferred) use the center speaker hookup as the "speaker" in android so one can route stuff there which can always be heard.
- Allow connection to bluetooth headset profile of the Audi MMI, so I can route sounds into the MMI phone overriding everything.
- (last resort) Force the screen to Android triggered by voice prompts or notification sounds, so you at least get a visual clue.

And BTW: Thank you for the ongoing support and upgrades. I would have never bought something like this off Aliexpress. Happy to pay a premium for a supported device.

Not so sure that that would be the cause. 30 and 31 are just power leads. I think it is more likely that J794 is sensing that something is not right. RSNAV is probably not emulating the screen on the LIN bus.

[Avee]

Another request:
Many users are doing all kinds of things to adjust brightness. Audi has an ambient brightness value from a photo sensor and dimming values broadcast on CAN bus by the J285 instrument cluster device (17). Maybe you could use this to implement an automatic brightness function?

Measured value block 003:
Channel no. Measured value output Resolution Range
1 Coolant temperature 1°C -48°C - 142,5°C
2 Standing time 4 sec. 0 - 131068 sec.
3 Dimming signal 58d 1 % 0 - 100 %
4 Dimming signal 58s 1% 0 - 100 %

Measured value block 004:
Channel no. Measured value output Resolution Range
1 Dash panel insert supply voltage 0,1 0 - 20
2 Ambient temperature (from AC) 0,5°C -50°C - 77°C
3 Ambient temperature (readout) 0,5°C -50°C - 77°C
4 Phototransistor value 1% 0 - 100%

I would love this feature. I typically listen to a morning radio show on the way to work and sometimes miss Waze notifications.

Speaking of Waze, has anyone else had an issue with it freezing/spazzing out? Maybe 1/10 times when I use Waze, the arrow (showing where you are) is off-center making it impossible to see where to go. Trying to close the app from Waze or forcing it closed does nothing. The only thing that works is rebooting the entire RSNav device.

I am using Waze every day, ( i have a macro to auto-start it with macrodroid) and i haven't got this problem, works flawless. Maybe is a stupid question, But did you try to re-install ?

I dont tink this is possible because only AUX forwards the sound to the MMI.
Using a third party software to overwrite the output will overwrite the sound but as long as you do not secet AUX first it won't work.

Yes that is the current situation. Apps like Soundabout allow to route sound to other outputs. Problem is, there are no alternative outputs right now. The center speaker lead has no function, and bluetooth won't connect to the hands free function of MMI. Soundabout could route sounds there if one of them would be available.

You mean reinstall Waze? I'll give that a shot.

Does your tablet have a SIM card? I always put my phone in hotspot mode and connect the tablet. Sometimes that is finicky as well, so maybe that's the issue.

Just a heads up; this is not really obvious from anything I read, but the promised feature where one could hold certain icons in the launcher for a few seconds and then reassign them now works. I found that by assigning another nav app to the "nav" icon, this has also changed the hard button assignments on my MMI and wheel. So that's very sweet. I ponied up for a TomTom license for a year, and am happy with the more intelligent navigation. I just press nav on the MMI and am taken right to tomtom.

Another app I would like to highlight is "Softkeys more settings" where one can have a set of floating softkeys with a totally custom position and size. I positioned them at the top, and assigned the back button long press to start the app that goes back to the MMI interface.

[fanrazy]

oh, i have commited a mistake and i erased the igo, Anybody where can i get it?

I went and met up with Daniel today and picked up a 3GB/32GB ROM mainboard upgrade. Tonight I did the conversion/upgrade from the 2GB model to the latest 3GB model. Overall it took about 30 minutes to complete, with minimal tools required.
You will need a couple of small Philips screwdrivers, a #1, and a micro Philips. You may also need an 8mm socket if you can't undo one of the nuts by hand.

Sorry the video isn't the greatest, but it at least gives a sense of the level of effort/difficulty for anyone considering doing the upgrade on their own. It's pretty simple if you just take your time and be careful.

When you do the upgrade, you will also need to fully configure the device again as all of your settings are stored on the old mainboard.
