M072 (S160) Android Head Unit Install/Info

[marcus]

Okay, it appears there is a new firmware/software update for the M072 unit. To download it you first need to sign up to the roadnav forum and request a password via this link:

They will PM you a password which you can then use to download the latest firmware from post 71 here:

I have requested my password a few mins ago so waiting for that now and then I will flash the update. The process for flashing the update is as follows (this is from post 1 in the second link):

Do NOT post requests here, this thread is for firmware updates only.

!!!Warning: There is probability that fail the updating and it may cause the core-board could not function properly. Use at your own risk!

Update Instruction:
- Copy all the files into root of an empty SD card
- Power OFF the unit. Wait for SRC light to go off (usually 5-10 mins).
- Insert the firmware card into GPS slot,
- Power ON the unit. Hold SRC button until it Beeps twice
- System now will upgrade automatically
note after 5 mins radio will show Upgrade Complete. THIS IS NOT THE FINISH please wait longer.
- It is complete when screen display “All complete successful! Please remove the card...” Now remove the SD card, the unit will restart automatically.
- Done.

Enjoy!

Now I have NEVER done this upgrade procedure before so if it does brick your device then I have NO IDEA how to fix it.

Thanks

Thanks, so who is going to give this a bash first.
