Due to Sheppy's original thread for the S160 (M072) Android HU Installation getting off topic/polluted with Kotix ROM chatter, I thought it might be worthwhile setting up a separate thread for the Kotix ROM discussion.

For those not familiar with the Kotix ROM, it is a custom ROM for the S160 unit (Not just the M072 - M072 is the Astra J version of it) which provides some additional functionality and also overcomes some of the limitations of the standard ROM. 

The main benefits are:-

Hello guys!

Hello everyone;
First of all, thank you for sharing knowledge about this car. Here I will explain how to connect the original Navi 600 microphone to
the Android radio car
1º Found the original micro.

2º. Check the micro color cables:

In this case one is blue and the other is brown-black.

3º. Goes to the original bt jack under the radio.

Came across this today. Basically it is a usb dongle which plugs into the Android HU and gives you a Carplay / Android Auto type interface on the screen via an app. Looks pretty good and costs about 50 quid.

Anyone here got one?

Got my V5754 coming tomorrow and want to have internet available in the car to fully use it's capabilities. I don't really want to use my phone as a hotspot and would prefer to have a dedicated internet connection that would always be available in the car when needed, so I guess I'm looking at a wifi dongle/mifi unit etc.

Any advice on what works best?

Cheers

Hi all,
I curently have one of the older android hu from icebox, but looking at the v5754 mainly to get the better CPU and more ram. Octo core CPU and 4Gb ram (My hu has only 1Gb today).

I can see some of you already bought this hu, and I have some questions for you:

1) how is the Bluetooth module? In My current hu the radio disconnects the BT connection to My Phone (it has done it with multiple Phone) every 2-5min, also during a call, very annoying..

2) do you have any issues with Noise, li

Hi All,

I'll start with my specs: 2012 Astra GTC 1.7 CDTi SRI, CD400 with factory fitted USB, Bluetooth and DAB.

I've owned this car from new and am now looking to spec it up a bit internally as I tend to drive a fair amount for work and want some more creature comforts inside.

First item on the list is an Android HU to replace the crappy 4 line display above the CD400 while ideally keeping the same controls so it still looks fairly stock, I'm one of those weird people who actually like

I installed my v5754 recently and it's been working perfectly. However when I was driving along today with Google maps running and playing music from the microsd card (done that before many times without issues) when the unit froze. I pulled fuse 4 from the fuse box behind the glovebox to reset power to the head unit and now it's stuck on a recovery screen. None of the buttons move the selectio on screen so I can't choose either option. Help please![IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180401/
