  • Update Android Car Headunit Firmware
    If you're the type of person who loves to keep their gadgets updated with the latest software, then you're going to love this video! Today, we're going to show you how to update your Android car stereo to the latest version. That's right, we're going to make sure that your car head unit is running at its best and delivering the ultimate listening experience. So, get ready to rev up your engines and let's get started with this tutorial on how to update your Android car stereo.
    [00:00] Intro
    [00:37][Step 1: Check the App Version]
    The first step to updating your Android Head Unit is to check the current app version. To do this, go to 'Car Settings' and then 'System Settings'. Look for the app version and note it down. In my case, it is K2501_NWD. The update file I provide will also work with the K2501_UP version.
    [01:02][Step 2: Download the Update File]
    Next, look for the comaptible update file for the your app version by doing a simple google search. For K2501_NWD or UP, download the update file from the link provided in the video description. The file is about 1.2GB in size.
    Download: drive.google.com/file/d/18nLw...
    Once you download the compatible update file, rename it to update.zip and copy it to a USB pendrive.
    [01:28][Step 3: Connect the Pendrive to Your Android Car Stereo]
    Connect the pendrive to your Android car stereo and move to 'Car Settings', then 'System Settings' and then choose 'System Update'.
    [01:38][Step 4: Check for the Update File]
    Here, you should see the update.zip file. If you do not see it, you need to create the same path as shown in the video. Create a folder named mnt, then inside that folder, create another folder called media_rw and then create another folder named udisk. Paste the update.zip file within the udisk folder.
    [02:04][Step 5: Update Car Android System]
    When you see the update file is available, tap on 'Start Update'. It will take around 15 minutes to update your Android car stereo to the latest version selected.
    [02:16][Conclusion]
    So, there you have it, folks! By following these simple steps, you can easily update your Android car stereo to the latest version. If you found this video helpful, please hit the like button and subscribe to our channel for more content like this. Thanks for watching!

    Dude, I've been going thru videos that skip steps and don't explain well, thanks for your quality detailed videos, short, to the point, recorded with a good microphone (some dudes record it with the phone mic, in an informal environment) hope you gain more followers and continue to assist all of us with technical guidance.

    Can anyone confirm that this update will include the newest version of Zlink? I am considering updating my head unit but if I install the software update and Zlink isn’t there that is an obvious issue. I just want clarification before I install.

      I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing an error with your Android head unit update. The error could be due to various reasons, such as compatibility issues or an interrupted update process. Does your system already have carplay feature?

    • @TechEmpty
      @TechEmpty  Před 9 měsíci +1

      There is nothing like official. If you get the update file from seller, then it suits 100% for your system. But the update file you get from the internet may or may not be compatible for your system.

      Hello brother. I don’t understand hindi. But what I understood is, you have a problem with the location. Even though you update the system, it didn’t fixed. Right?
      If that’s the case, I guess you have the problem with GPS module. Get it right by reaching the retailer.

      Update the unit with compatible software. You will get it back. If yours is K2501 UP or NWD, the update file you find in the description of this video do work.
      After updating, connect to internet and open the zlink. It will activate by itself.
