30 Min for driving = No Android Auto
Marshy33 replied to WillRB's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Not sure about the amount of power, but mine is left always plugged in. I'm pretty sure the usb does disconnect after a while. With my octavia it powers up when I unlock the car. Then is connected before I drive off. Its actually the headunit loading smartlink that takes the longest not the device booting. Just tested plugging it in a few times and it's about 12 seconds from the USB going in to android auto being on the screen. -

Send a support ticket to aawireless, you don't need 5ghz, it also works without the wireless option. The app allows you to set it up so the headunit still thinks it's plugged in. -

Have you played around with the dpi settings yet? After playing around with them for way too long, I settled on 136, looks a lot better I think... -

No issue asking Spotify to play music and playlists. Maybe trying clearing cache of both Spotify and android auto? -

I put it in the sliding compartment under climate control. And slide the door shut as far as it can with the cable sticking through. Seen some people use velcro to stick it out the way, which is probably a cleaner way of doing it. As for the error, I only ask Google to set destinations for waze. I'll try Spotify when out in the car later and let you know. -

Haha no commision unfortunately, but I had a few devices sent to me for free whilst we were testing and another once it went into production. -

Yeah works perfectly. I have on occasion had a random reboot, but thats more the crappie integration of android auto on technisat units. -
Update to 4xx firmware and the app button will work. Its not a normal update process but can be done.

I was a beta tester for this one, so have been using before it was released. Any questions just let me know. https://aawireless.io/ I solely use android auto and don't actually use anything else on the headunit, well apart from the dab radio. Good thing is now you can use a fast charger through the cigarette lighter. -

You could get an android auto wireless dongle, but more of a workaround than solving the issue. -
How to connect with smartlink wirelessly (?)

There's no other solution for the mib2s. -

Marshy33 replied to Dimitris82's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
You need to buy a dongle like this... https://aawireless.io/ If you've got any questions let me know. I've been using it for over a year for androidauto. They're currently making this same dongle work with carplay, but it's still in beta stages. -

Bolero MIB1 Update Help Please!
Marshy33 replied to srh007's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
You have a mib2. Use the mib2std toolbox or update to 253 and install the 253 pre patched file to activate smartlink. All avaliable online for free. The screnshots you have shown they have also updated to 4xx. -
Infotainment screen upgrade

M has the nav button in the top right, N has a setup button. Both screens will still work. -

I use it every day without any issues. It's just like it's plugged in. Havnt used any of the original mib2 features since I got it. -
Infotainment thicko needs help!
Marshy33 replied to imperial's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
If you have a nav unit with 2 SD card slots, hacking it is just a case of flashing some update patches, and then you'll have working android auto etc. If it only has one SD slot it becomes more difficult and you have to read the emmc. -

That sucks! But youre right where Huawei doesn't officially support Google, there have been issues with these phones. -

Marshy33 replied to Marshy33's topic in Audio, Electronics and Security
There was initially an issue with the technisat mib2 units, which has now been fixed in a recent software update. The unit itself works perfectly, just like when it's wired. I use it daily and have no issues at all. -
Amundsen MIB2 Firmware Update
Marshy33 replied to nopowerman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
@tigerfeetstupid question I know. But you are looking at long term stats and not since start? Or are you saying the while unit reset itself to default settings? @humar long term stats reset after a certain amount of miles, just can't remember how many -
Amundsen MIB2 Firmware Update
Marshy33 replied to nopowerman's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Have upgraded from 253 to 478. But as others have stated the unit needs to be patched first. Wouldn't recommend unless you have issues with the current software you're on. You do get a new grid style menu which is nice and I'm pretty sure the app button will work if you have the 5e0919605m glass screen.
