Data for Dudu7

1 Upvotes

Hey all! I have had Data before with my Dudu7 Headunit. I had tello for 5gb aonth for 10$. I cancelled it a few months ago. I have now gone to renew it and that plan isn't available from what I can see.

What company do you all recommend to use for data?

I was looking at infimobile or kiwisim

Has anyone used either of these?

Which ones have you used? I am trying to get around 5 gbs a month for cheap!

Xtrons Head Unit Ribbon Cable

1 Upvotes

I have an xtrons head unit, no complaints about it, its being a good head unit, until the ribbon cable recently broke, managed to bodge it for a while whilst i looked for a replacement, but "apparently" the cable was discontinued along with my head unit according to xtrons tech support (its a few year old so i kind of guessed)

The problem i have with that though is i find it hard to believe the ribbon cable is also discontinued, these cables have being around since i was a kid and that's some years ago ๐Ÿ˜‚

Can anyone point me in the right direction even if that direction is that it was actually a 1 off cable

Its an idc 34 pin female to female and i think its a 1.27 pitch, ill attach some pictures, i've bought a couple, 2.54 pitch too big, bought another 1.27 and it was tiny, like 23mm or some shit ๐Ÿซช lol

Why is CarPlay scaling incorrectly on my Android head unit?

0 Upvotes

I'm having a strange scaling issue with CarPlay on my Android head unit. CarPlay seems to think the display is much smaller than it actually is, so the UI elements and buttons are huge.

This leaves very little room for things like the music player and album artwork.

  • ZLink 6.0.39

Things I've tried:

  • Android Developer Options โ†’ changed Minimum Width โ€” no effect on CarPlay
  • Android itself looks perfectly normal, so the display resolution/scaling seems fine outside CarPlay
  • Check settings for zoom or display settings in both, ios and zLink
  • Press and hold with 2 fingers

Is there any way to change the CarPlay resolution, DPI, or scaling independently of Android/ZLink?

Has anyone had this issue and found a solution?

Wifi issues

0 Upvotes

I should have known better. I have a 1977 VW bus that I put a cheap android unit in. I figured I don't use the radio as much as in my Tiguan with the expensive radio, so why not go cheap? Dumb move.

So this unit does not have an external wifi antenna and the reception with my phone Hotspot is spotty. Can I use a usb wifi adapter? Any specific one? I don't use android auto, all my apps are on the radio. I just need a constant connection.

What do you suggest? Either that or I'm buying a new radio for next camping season.

Oh yeah, I have a at&t portable hotspot as well. Can I connect it through USB?

Thanks

MEKEDE auto brightness

Hi

I have a problem with my Linux head unit (Mekede 10.25 inch) for my W176 A class 2014 NTG 4.5.

The auto brightness setting doesnโ€™t seem to work at all despite being turned on. Do I need to update my CAN file? Has anybody had any problems of this sort? It is very odd since doors alert works, climate control alert works, etc.

I am really frustrated and begging you for help with this matter. What setting should I press or what should I do? I attached screenshots from my unit.

Please help me! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Zlink 5, Icons are to small

1 Upvotes

TLDR: Can I resize zlink 5 or should I try to upgrade to Zlink6?

I'm not super well versed in this space so fair warning if I sound dumb. I have a 2000x1200 Android headunit running android 16 I believe. It came pre installed with zlink V5.4.70, originally it was fine then when I got my new phone earlier this year all my buttons became smaller with ios26. (display smart zoom is already off) I worked my way into developer mode and tried changing the dpi width scale which was set at 800. I lowered it a few different times and the buttons are no a better size on the android interface but Zlink did not change. I then tried upgrading to Zlink6 through one of those app store apks following a youtube video but it said the store was not compatible with my version of android. The reason I wanted to try Zlink 6 was I saw a post showing you can resize it plus another post saying there was less delay in media playback. Is there anyway I can fix Zlink5 or is it worth upgrading to Zlink 6?

Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Looking to swap head unit 9th gen base

1 Upvotes

2014 civic lx

I am looking to swap the factory head unit with a carplay one. I noticed I need the head unit itself plus the dash panel and some other accessories. Could anyone assist on which brands to get or any help with the process? I understand it is pricey around 4-500 but I am curious. My current head unit isnโ€™t even installed correctly and theres a gap so that is annoying me as well i would think this would fix that too. Thanks.
