@oll, done?

always nice to ask question, and do not answer to know if it's ok or not ... har_scratch

Sorry. I finally managed to upgrade. The problem i was having was that i was too impatient to wait for it to start.

BUT do NOT format in Mac OS Extended as writed but in FAT (for mac user)
you have to use a thin USB drive or use adaptator ... and as said by Oll wait the upgrade to begin ...

I was quite disapointed with the upgrade, It is quite nice to see the route in the display but after adjusting the music and GPS with Ways, everything stops as I pass a cellphone tower. And have to sincronize things all over. I use thick packtalk Cardo earphones. After many tries Eventually I got desparate and negelected the upgrade alltogether.

not sure I understand your problem Jack ...
Have you done the upgrade? , do you use Carplay or Android Auto ?
I don't think Cardo is involved
do you want to say cellphone tower has an influence and stops your dashboard?
More then 12000 kms made on mine now and using carplay every time , never had such a problem even when passing under celltowers (and never had heared about such a problem )...

After waiting for more than a year, the Android ungrade arrived to the dealer in Israel. I did the upgrade, but the result was disapointing, either there is something wrong with the upgrade, or I am missing something. Before the upgrade I could share musinc and talk with my companion on the bike. After the upgrade, after adjusting everything, suddenly all adjustements get lost, I think this happens when I pass a cellphone tower. I tried many times but without success. Now I gave up on the Android upgrade and returned to the old system without bike envolvment. Cell phone and Cardo for the driver and the companion on the bike.

My experience riding with CarPlay during these last 11 months is perfect (so just buy an iphone instead your samsung ) ;D ;D
not heard such a problem on any other forum till the Android upgrade; the deception is only not a navigation software on Android auto (seems only Sygic in beta version )
Try to re-configure everything, both headsets have to be appaired with system, yours as driver, and the other as pillion and you see them on the top left of the dashboard near BT logo, and you have surely one for Android Auto system; as that you have to hear music thru Android Auto system, and not sure you're abble to hear directly thru BT ...

first Riaan (as we've said a lot of times these last times), better to say hello and make a presentation (https://honda-adventure-riders.com/index.php?board=6.0) when you enter a new house ... :-\
then, do not know Android auto as I have ... is google maps available in android auto ?... have to find some information ...
-
Humble apologies. I missed that etiquette post. Sorry 😞..... I will have to find out about Android Auto having Google maps.
-
I will have a look if i find information VCIF_salut
-
Much appreciated 🙏👍
-
have to check on some others forums ;) ;D
-
As Android is a Google company , Google maps & Waze are working perfectly on Android auto ; the problem is rather the "others" navigation software which are not working ... As the great Osmand ! ;) seems you can use Amigo (from Tomtom) with online maps, and Sygic is again supported ...
so surely an other problem: have you connected you phone with a cable to the USB plug on the left ?
have you appaired your bike with the bluetooth headset ? 8)

Sorry for delay in responding. I have cable connected, phone paired with bike, cardo headset i think also paired, shows as device on TFT. Ill attach pics.
Dont worry to much.. Im about to give up on Android Auto. Thanks for the help. I will blame Huawei phone 😉
