I know it says something about the unit's IP address and hotspots, but I'm not sure how relevant that is to me, what have you found out?

Edit: does it have anything to do with this? http://www.voxcarlink.com/information/ (and do our cars support something like this from just the HU?)

AWESOME, thanks man. Looks I need to update.

Basically, with an app on your phone you can control the stereo remotely - both screen sharing and remotely controlling the core apps.

I'm going to update later today and I'll post a how to. Its pretty....no, really... fucking cool.

Guessing that'll be an Android only app?

So, does anyone else's USB music start playing sometimes when you start up the HU? (and no, I wasn't using it before turning the car off, I never use that app, I use poweramp now) It's really annoying, I might just try and freeze the USB music app if this keeps up... Also, Pandora is back to crashing like it did before the update

Also, I tried using google now voice command to call someone and it didn't see that i have any contacts. Also, the bluetooth app seems to keep losing my contacts and I have to re sync with the phone everytime I open it. Now, I definitely remember being able to use google now to call someone before I updated, so I don't know why I can't anymore, is there some other contacts app I can download to just permanently store my contacts on?

One question for those who are using the full version Viper EQ app, how do I get it to work... I've set all the EQs to on and nothing is changing audio wise.

One more issue, when using LMT (which I think is a MUST for this HU) I have it set to have the service turn on when booting up, but sometimes when I turn on the car LMT is not active and I have to manually turn it back on, any thoughts on that one?

Today, mine had actually began playing USB music automatically when it booted. And I had actually not used the USB for music yet. So, I thought that was rather odd.

Mine just restarted by itself and booted into a new theme?
Everything looks different now, the home screen, fonts, clock...the windows symbol and the cafi sign on the right side is replaced by a droid in the middle.
All icons are apple style with rounded corners.

The good news is, I love it. The weird news is, I haven't done anything remotely related to changing themes.

I did try to update with the update folder in the SD card, it never worked. So I left the folder in the SD card. Maybe it updated?

The guys who updated, did you get a new theme?

I guess I should get around to updating if that's what happened.

What? Theme didn't change at all with the update... What did it look like before, what windows symbol and cafi sign are you talking about, and what droid? I'm not sure what yours looks like now or what it used to, can yo post some pictures?

Yah theme changes a little bit. Sounds like maybe it updated when you weren't looking

Try turning off the Bluetooth option inside Pandora app. I haven't had any crashes since update and settings change. LMT starts automatically for me. I did have it crash once and I had to turn it back on but that's it.
Bluetooth had my contacts but not my call logs today. Think this is first I've checked since update. I usually don't make calls(hate talking on phone). Try re-pairing it work phone maybe.
Also wish we could keep Pandora from closing. It's an Android memory manager thing. With two gigs of ram it is better. With 3 gigs(note 3) it almost never closes on me.may be no easy way around that....

Anyone have DashCommand running? I installed it, but it doesn't want to find my bluetooth ODB adapter. Torque works fine.

yeah, i couldn't get it to work with any of my 3 bluetooth adapters (cafi official, stubby blue elm327 from amazon and a larger elm327 from amazon as well). Although i'm glad i had the issue, the data has MUCH less lag and updates much faster with the scantool USB cable. works perfectly every time and is compatible with both torque and dashcommand. Well worth the 40 or 50 bucks, IMHO.

Wait, theme does change? I updated and still have Ca-Fi in the lower right corner of the "home" screen. And all the app icons looks pretty much the same... can someone put up a pic of the newest theme? Maybe mine didn't update afterall... which would be weird because it went through perfectly, I guess the best way to check would be to look at the software version, what should it be post update?

Did you fully update? There is also the MCU update that you run from system settings

Yeah, I did that too...

@SHIFTER did you update to the new firmware before taking that video? Because that's exactly how mine looks right now
