question is, when you have a map update at the dealer do you lose any added apps?

 

The new map will come in the SD so they don't touch the radio system except if they do a factory reset, only updating the firmware could cause that in my opinion

 

when my dealer does a map update, the firmware on the media unit normally gets an update as well

 

YouTube and Spotify tested and working perfectly... The second video is very clear and everything works as expected

My android version is 4.2.2 BTW

 

Hi. Did you download all the files from the link in the second video’s description? Put those files in the root directory of a USB and that is it? Thanx..

 

You can put all of them in root directory, but I put the file.apk in root, the others inside a folder, but works the same

I want to try some other Youtube apps like NewPipe (but I think needs Android 4.4+)

 

Could not enter Engineering mode on my 2019 Ionic EV Limited. Neither Map nor Screen saver methods work. :{

 

Same. 2019 Plug-In. Cannot access the screensaver one.

 

Looks like this doesn't work on non navi units...

 

Confirming all working fine on EV, firmware version EU 170920. Sometimes takes a while to get into the hidden menu, just keep trying by going into screensaver menu and back. Then just follow the second video from Pavel (russian guy from moscow) as it all goes flawlessly. You pretty much get an android tablet where you can install anything. Now for those used to ios products like myself, prepare for the tablet speed being slooooooow ?

 

I'm tempted to see if I can get Waze running natively on it. Possibly a project for next weekend...

 

Hi alex
I believe waze or any other app (native for android with .apk extension) will install and run smoothly, just like the ones i managed to install today. Just follow the instruction from Pavel’s video and it will take you less than 30 minutes to get it all going. On top of those files that he has in his cloud - all installation files plus a few aps (link to his cloud is in a description of his video), i managed to install couple more. Just as a trial i got a chess game and an app from my sat tv provider so i can now watch live tv channels that i have home on my tv..

 

I couldn't help but draw a mental connection between Pavel's obsession with watching videos on his sat nav and the plethora of horrific Russian dash cam clips one can find on YouTube. Perhaps if they watched the road more than their screens...

 

No luck for a US 2017 EV Ultimate... I wasn't able to access the "Engineering Mode" in a different thread. I suspect the US infotainment systems have this disabled for some reason.

 

A nice way to open up your system to hackers. Good job! Can anyone vouch for this “Pavel from Moscow” and his cloud content? Source code available?

does pavel provide the source code for the apps you need to install from his "cloud" ?

does he provide an explanation of what they are needed for (note I haven't watched the video)

how do we know they are safe and have no hidden trojans or back door in them?

remember that media unit is linked to the cars CANBUS and certainly has read access,

 

Dont know. Did you check?

 

Hey!!! It's me. This is my finger and my car

 

took me about 75 taps.
changed a setting within the sat nav
that gives you two route options automatically after entering an address.
always wondered why it wouldn't do that before.

 

beware, that 2nd route is the shortest, so liable to lead you down some "VERY INTERESTING" and narrow type roads

 

also gives a new page within satnav.
Learnt something new. Vignette road.
I'm presuming is a toll rd.
hopefully pic uploaded.

 

I am using version, 4.6.3, as suggested by smoje,uncomparable to older version. Smooth and fast, very user friendly. Regular download from apkpure.com

 

Yes I did notice that Blue.
The only reason is use the other route is to note the shortest route available to price a fare.
Other than that, maybe in the event of a sudden rd closure.

 

yep pavel could well be a good guy, but we know little about him so do a bit of research, as remember if you tether your satnav to your phone it has internet access

also remember a lot of apps are funded by adverts so you may find more data being used on your phone to download this ad's

likewise if you can source the required files from a trusted source it would be better until someone can check the hash to confirm the files on his cloud are the same as other sources

one thing that does concern me to a certain extent is the fact the android OS is only 4.3 / 4.4 , that is so old (about 5-6 years old if you look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history)

 

According to the newest video from the russian guy- if you install anything to the hidden android menu, and want to then update the car firmware, DO NOT do it before you do factory reset in the hidden menu settings, otherwise you will brick your entire system!!!

Things I've tried:

- Spotify (working fine but no smarthone with BT because sounds got mixed, better used with an usb stick with some FLAC music)
- Waze (working amazingly fine with Wifi from the phone)
- Youtube modified (so no google apps needed, working really fine)
- Amazon Prime Video (bit sluggish because of the Wifi connection, but works)
- Wiseplay (so you can see live TV on the Ioniq)

I did a factory reset to update the system and the maps, reinstalled everything I have on my USB stick, no problems at all!

 

Anyone using carplay for waze combined with soundabout on the headunit? It seems I lost my sound from waze ...

 

Anybody in North America manage to get into Engineering mode by the MAP double press method or the screen saver 7 click method (described in this thread)?

I only see Europeans pulling this off. I don't think it works in Canada and U.S.A.

 

They probably were a little bit stricter about locking it down where there's a built in data connection that Hyundai is paying for. I'm sure they don't want us watching YouTube videos on the built in 4G.

 

Installed some stuff, you can see the programs from the pics.
The USB stick is formatted with fat32
