AP756 - Fred — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 20:03:00 +0000

@admin: I want to request a copy of the latest ROM update as full ROM. As a power user and as someone who wants to help others it is essential for restoring/rooting CarPC. Thank you in advance.

Request full ROM (this time version 2.6.04)

AP756 - Fred — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 16:30:01 +0000

As usual power users need access to the new firmware (version 2.6.04). This way we can tweak CarPC and try to make the best out of it. Thanks in advance.

Changelog?

As users of CarPC, we understand that it is constantly being improved.

However, it would be nice to see a changelog so we could see the new features, bug fixes, etc. for new firmware.

For example, what has changed between 2.5.18 and 2.5.24?

Request: Full ROM (2.5.18) to download

AP756 - Fred — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 20:11:28 +0000

OTA update to version 2.5.18 is confirmed. Therefore (as usual) power users here in the forun and your moderator request access to the new firmware downloadable as full ROM. This way we can tweak CarPC and try to make the best out of it. Thanks in advance.

Bye for now Fred

PS @admin: As we have done before please sent the full ROM to me, I will check and repack as before and load it up to my web space. This process can be used for any future update.

Request: Actual full ROM (2.5.10)

AP756 - Fred — Wed, 05 Apr 2023 05:49:57 +0000

As usual power users need access to the new firmware. This way we can tweak CarPC and try to make the best out of it. Thanks in advance.

North America-Canada-Prototype Experience

Ford Clancy — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 20:38:37 +0000

I have not had good luck with the prototype.

I haven't been able to use it very much. Originally, I could not get audio or Bluetooth to work, and I sent a message (improperly) to that effect. I explained that I have a local (in-car) hotspot, and I wished to use that, rather than use my phone as the hotspot. I was given some hints, but I was unable to execute them, because:

1. I haven't had the opportunity to spend much time with the car and CarPC...

2. When I did get some time, I found the screen totally blank apparently the car had done an update of some sort, and the next day, CarPC booted to a blank screen. Thus I could not access anything.

So my question is: How do I reset in some way?

Thanks

2.4.90 CarPC Pro: Faults, misbehaviors

AP756 - Fred — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 15:19:27 +0000

Hi fellow members,

new version 2.4.90 is rolled out via OTA (or downloadable _here_). Unfortunately there are some bugs introduced with that update.

- Android Auto bottom line fast starters don't work when running the default launcher in the car (they are not shown at all on PC using Vysor). They just use space on the screen and you can't stop them from being shown. Found no way to modify/hide these buttons.

- Screen tap detection is inacurate: You have to tap slightly offset to get a reaction. The firmware itself provides no way to readjust.

- Connection between CarPC and head unit (Toyota GR86) does not work reliable. Sometimes it connects, most times I jut get a yellow LED.

- ...

Please add your findings

Bye for now Fred
