M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info

[xtech]

The internal mic is not connected to the board and is a hardware limitation. I think I may have read that on the roadnav forum.

It's kind of odd being there but not connected to the the board... i'll check the roadnav forum to see if i can get further info. If so, i'll post here.

Hi,

Slide front seats forward and on the rear trim you will see the line where you can slide a trim tool in to prise it open, it was a little stiff at first but does come off. Once you start you'll realise it's very simple.

Where I've circled you can see the line where trim joins.



You don't get much room once it's off until you unplug the wiring for cig lighter.

Well it was not specific to the M072 but only generic to the S160 units, but it seems that:

- The internal microphone works, no need to install the external one
- If you plug the external mic, you can't get it working with the Android OS (if you want some voice commands) because it is not wired to the board (so @marcus it seems to be the other way around: it's the external mic connection that isn't connected to the board). However if you have some soldering skills this can be fixed with this mod:
