For anyone interested I believe I will have the ability to do programming very soon. I have made quite a bit of progress and hope to have the reprogramming method refined and ready within the next few

Making even more progress! HMI has been updated to the newest software, which means Wifi compatibility ! OTA updates are enabled, meaning you will receive all future software updates for the HMI over

For anyone following along I am once again waiting for parts. I was having issues with the radio module I had originally ordered. A new module is on order and should be installed and ready to go by th

god damn I wish this was simple. and cheap. :lol:

At it's core it is simple. There are just a ton of variables. And honestly for me I paid almost exactly $200 USD for all of my modules which is pretty damn cheap in my opinion.  It's just a matter of programming that's the only missing link.

Yeah. Like I've said before, I want to say I want X, so I need to buy Y, and install it and it works.

Honestly, fair. Have you sourced any of the parts yet? If not I'm sure we can work something out pre-programmed. I'm in Canada like yourself so shipping will be easy and cheap.

not yet. I've sorta just held back until I know for sure what's going to work.

Nope you have the proper receptacle.
 
2 things I can think of. First verify the time on your radio is correct. If it's not, Android Auto will give you an error. 
 
Second, if the LT without the console has a secondary USB plug (I'm unsure, I haven't worked on that model yet), try plugging the device into that. I was able to get AA to show up in projection at the very minimum using the stock USB plug. If there isn't another USB plug, try swapping back in your old USB plug and test. 
 
Some other things to try - Get an iphone and plug it in to see if carplay shows up. I'm sure you know someone with an iphone.
 
Also, is your phone charging when you plug it in. Does the aux input work? Can you play audio over a usb stick?
 
Keep us posted. 
The time was wrong, so fixed that, still nothing from either port, including the one in the glove box. Phone charges just fine. I played video through the new port to the screen, with audio. I'll have to find someone with an iPhone, all Android in this house. Haven't tried the aux jack yet. There is an option to turn carplay on and off in the settings so we'll see.

First of all, congrats on teaching your family the ways of a proper mobile operating system.

 

Second, can you try with one of their phones as well just to verify?

 

Seems like your USB connection is fine. You can also turn on or off android auto in the settings menu. Please verify both of those are turned on as well. 

 

Next up, test the iphone when you can get your hands on one.

I wonder if he sent me a carplay only model. There's nothing in the on screen settings about Android Auto.

Oh no! This could have been from an early 2016 model without the software update for Android Auto!

 

Let me verify that there is a setting for Android Auto in my version. I am almost positive there is. If he did mess up, send it back and make him pay shipping both ways. That's not acceptable. I have a feeling he isn't updating the firmware before sending the modules out, he's just changing the VIN. I say that because my HMI doesn't show the shop icon that others do and when I went to check the software version in SPS it showed there were updates available. 

 

Hang on...

I noticed on that YouTube video the guy had the shop icon and I didn’t. Makes me wonder if the HMI would’ve been updated that Siri would’ve work after getting my radio updated. It did for the OP of the video.

Interesting thought, I will let you know!

 

I'll update my HMI first and install it into my truck and post the results.

 

I unfortunately suspect a radio module will still be required...

Dokus said to send it back and he'd update it. The only other way is a dealer USB update. Waiting for a response from him on shipping. Not happy the update wasn't done beforehand, especially since the units were advertised as being compatible for both. Now I have to take it out and put my old one back in.

Dokus runs a business upgrading peoples I05 (non nav) units to I06 nav units. He then sells the customers old HMI's on eBay for $100 pre-programmed. It's a great deal for us but it leads me to believe there is no testing or upgrading done prior to him sending out vin-matched units.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
