There is a new line of Kenwood car stereos ("DNN" series) including the DNN990HD and DNN790HD.
They are running Android and another thread suggests it's running the following version:
Code:
Kernal version
3.0.8-tcc
[email protected] #2
Mon apr 22 16:36:28 jst 2013
Build number
Binks_v8-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76D eng.root.20130422 test-keys
How can I get started with trying to install the Play Store and/or root the device?
There are two female USB ports on the back but I don't think it has any other ports.
Should I purchase a USB male-to-male cable and try to connect both ports to my PC? ...and then run "adb devices" ?
Can anybody give me any other tips?
I did notice that there're is a 4 pin connector hidden under a clear plactic tab on the right side of the unit. It is either a J-tag or a proprietary USB connector. The older models with WindowsCE core had a 6 pin connector under the same plastic tab. I have a feeling that's a clue to adb access. On a side note, I tried almosst every possible button press/hold combo upon reset/boot to try to find recovery with no success. And while the android version is build 8 the Kenwood build is version is 1.0. I have a feeling that the only other way in will involve modifying an update file.

Thanks for the information!
Do you have a picture of the connector?
USB is 4 pins so maybe it's just a different connector on one side of the cable? (to prevent people from "easily" plugging in a USB A-to-B cable)
...or maybe it's a serial port requiring a USB-to-RS232 cable? (like what is used to update the Metra Axxess ASWX-1 steering wheel adapter)
Here is a photo of the connector as well as a couple of other photos. If it is a rs232 like the flashlogic or xk loader, then it's essentially J-tag. Been a while since I did any J-tag modding though. I also tried plugging in the flashlogic/idatalink loader to the back plug and got nowhere as well. So far, I've found that you can plug in a usb keyboard and mouse for full easy control. I tried to use the browser for a file tree listing but it returns nothing. I was unable to figure out the mount path for the usb flash when connected, or I otherwise would have tried to run/install an apk directly. I also accessed gmail via the web window, changed the UA string for desktop, and tried to download an apk I sent myself with no luck, download showed up, but never started.
So I just downloaded the Google play store.apk file online (did a google search and downloaded the APK) and then uploaded the apk to my dropbox account. I then opened the browser in the DNN990HD and went to the dropbox.com website, logged in, and downloaded the apk file. It downloaded fine and I then launched it. I then got an error message saying "Install Blocked For security, your tablet is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market."
Normally this is no big deal because you just go to applications and allow unknown sources to be installed on your device but Kenwood has hidden or gotten rid of that menu item so I can't access it. It looks like the next step is to figure out some sort of update.zip file but I haven't figured out if there's a way to get into the android bootloader on this thing.
Any other ideas out there yet?
I don't have anything to contribute, but I really, really hope some of the XDA guys can figure this out...
yeah this is a sweet radio, Installed it last weekend and love it,I used the Idatalink Maestro RR and i have all of my vehicle info on the radio screen it a sweet set-up, would be nice to install a regular gmail app and the play store, i`m wonder how much processor it has to run all of this stuff already. I wish I could figure out how to keep the Sirius replay off permanently.
Need to find a developer and probably enough donations raised to accomplish this.
I just put one of these in my car, it's pretty nice. I already noticed a force close on the launcher, lol. It only happened once I have since updated the BT firmware & software. What pisses me off it was suppose to have spotify support out of the box and I can't find any information on it really. I'm hoping this gets added with an update.I also wish they would have included OTA update support, you have to download it manually from kenwood & use a flashdrive.
DNN990HD Bluetooth Pairing
Has anyone had problems pairing their device with the DNN990HD? After installing the Kenwood firmware update I can't get the Pandora app on the head unit to connect to my Galaxy S4. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
So Could we maybe use this "USB UPDATE" method to gain install or root access?
I just installed one of these as well. Love it. I'd be willing to try almost anything to help get it rooted and have the Play store on it.

Okay guys I just tried editing the update for the radio by injecting the play story and a couple other apps I like into the update itself. The file structure is incredibly similar to a phone update. Unfortunately it did not go well. As it was updating it started to work but then the dead android icon appeared like a E: signature verification failed but it did not say that. I am only an amateur but it seems like we need a custom recovery or a way to adb either wired or maybe by wifi? I'm here to learn too so please any input would help.
Looking for hack into DNN 990 also... plus bluetooth issues...
LOL glad to see my favorite forums are on the DNN990 mission! Any progress on full access/root?
As well, I am having issues using bluetooth media with the device. The phone option works great (although it took several attempts to pair - those having trouble with this might like to know the unit won't pair if you have media source set to Pandora). The problem I'm having is with Ankidroid - I can't get the unit to broadcast my flashcards using text-to-speech, even though my present setup works on other hands-free devices. I tried playing audio file over bluetooth as well and it wouldn't work either. Any solutions?
Thanks!

Check and see what firmware version you are running. They released an update on the 31st of last month that corrected such issues. Ver 1.2.0 is the most recent release. If you need to download it check out the kenwood website and look under the support tab -> car entertainment for Firmware updates.

I think we're looking for Google Play store - so we can install apps - but we're locked out. I asked Kenwood tech support if there are plans for more apps and/or the Play store and the guy said not at this time. So any help to break in would be greatly appreciated!

Did the firmware and the bluetooth update and so far no joy. However I'm now having a problem getting text-to-speech working on Ankidroid minus the bluetooth so must fix this problem first.
I wonder what processor runs this unit. If we can find it out by software or opening the unit, it might give us some clues on how we could root it and unleash it's full potential.

Check BT settings on the deck, pandora has to be enabled. Took me a few minutes to figure it out the first time I set it up. It works great though, the BT control is fantastic don't even have to open the app. It just works. I will say after having the deck now for a few weeks, it's extremely nice however my HTC one is a much more powerful machine. You could put a top of line 4G ipad in would be a much more power machine. The resolution on the deck sucks and I don't wanna call it laggy but it's certainly not as fast as my HTC One. Granted a tablet is not made to control audio in a car. I'm sure a lot of the price take is the R&D that went into it, also certain car only functions a phone can't do. Like SiriusXM that you can pause from a satellite feed. Backup camera support which is nice which even works when the deck isn't booted yet. HD radio is absolutely fantastic. I never listed to the radio in the past but all my pre-sets now are HD only. Those thinking about the deck, yes it's cool but it's not the worth the money they are asking for it in my opinion. The built in Garmin Nav is pretty good, like I said a lot of the price tag your paying for the R&D that went into the thing since it's made specifically to work in a car but at the end of the day it's just android.

Look around in the settings, I wanna say I saw some where to shut it off by default. It's actually kinda a neat feature but can be annoying at times. One thing that pisses me off is when scrolling through channel list, it doesn't show what is currently playing. I had an old Sirius radio with boombox attachment that it use to do that years ago. Also changing your preset banks is a hassle if you don't have list view up which I also find annoying. I'm getting use to it though.
RE: Bluetooth
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I think I may have caused the problem when I rooted my Galaxy S 4 and flashed a new rom. I have working now. I have agree with you on the lagging of the head unit. The could have put a little faster processor in the unit, especially for what they cost.

For sure but it's still a great deck hopefully a few more firmware updates will get it even smoother. I have a paid Pandora subscription but there is no way to select bit rate but it sounds decent in the car. I use a rooted htc one with hacked apk and the unlimited skips works perfectly even through the deck which is great. Only bottleneck is sprints net zero 3g network. LTE isn't done yet in my area but it's getting there. Pandora is pretty fast over bt to the deck on LTE.

I find it hard to believe I'm the only one who likes my M360 syncing with my tablet when I'm home, and with my smartphone when I'm out. There is actually no official way to pair the M360 with multiple Android devices at the same time, but I have, however, figured out an alternative. I am going to assume that you already have it paired to one device. If not I believe there are other threads out there to help you with that!
Steps:
In the Android Wear official app, tap the watch icon on the translucent black bar atop the screen to disconnect the M360 first
Check to make sure that underneath the name of your device, the status reads "Not connected"
Go to the watch settings, and reset the device, yes unfortunately there is no way around except factory resetting first
Now go through the original instructions upon boot making sure that this time you pair it with your OTHER Android device
Follow the first two steps again after the device has been paired successfully and booted up
Congratulations! The M360 should now pair with the two devices one at a time after being disconnected from one another!
Hope this helped you guys, as this method definitely works for me with my Nexus 7 (flo) and Galaxy SIII (SGH-I747)!
Doesn't work as of now, using a Google Nexus 10 tablet and Sony Xperia Z2 smartphone. Whichever device is paired last works fine. The other device will manage a pairing request just fine after disconnecting the first one, but once that pairing request is approved, it will sit forever on the "Connecting..." status, and never actually connect.
Is this every watch? I use 2 phones every day because my work does not allow camera phones. I think not being to connect to 2 devices at this junction of tech should not be a handicap.
is it possible to install RunKeeper on moto 360 and upload all activity to my profile?

Yes this is an Android Wear limitation, not a Moto 360 one.

I second that opinion. I just learned of this yesterday when I got my Moto 360. I have been using SmartWatch 2 before and figured that Android Wear being so much newer and with more features it would allow me to connect it to multiple devices... well, crap.
Is the situation same even with the new 5.1.1 version of Android Wear? Google *still* doesn't let us connect to multiple devices?
(And iOS doesn't even have the Android Wear app.. you'd think we live 15 years in the past with these stupid limitations...)
No this limitation has not changed.
so do i have to connnect everytime that i leave one device behind within the app? Bc they both wont stay connected its one or the other??
Hi guys,
i bought the secondhand sony smartwatch 3 today and i have a problem with connection
The phone does'nt detect the watch. when i am running Android Wear app and seek watches, phone doesn't detect my smartwatch.
i trying reset watch. not helped.
Please help.
Did you go through the Android Wear app's pairing process? After a factory reset the watch guides you through the steps on how to pair with your phone. Also check that the watch isn't paired as a regular bluetooth device first (forget the device in bluetooth settings of the phone before trying to setup via android wear)
You definitely need to factory reset the watch in order to begin the correct pairing sequence with your phone, if you haven't already done so.

Im having an issue with Sync3 not allowing android auto to work on it. i say not allowing because it works for 2 seconds then the apps crashes and restarts on both the phone and the head unit. I've tried this with different android phones with the same result and the Ford dealer REFUSES to replace the head unit.
I have an LG v10 and a 2017 Fusion SE with the tech package witch includes Sync3. i've tried a Galaxy s7 and s6 and they dont work.
worst part is I tried my phone in another 2017 Fusion and Android Auto work perfectly. Also, Sync3 is supposed to have the option for Apple Car Play which is not available in my car but is available in other Fusions for some reason. Even knowing this the dealer still won't budge on replacement.
Has anyone have a similar experience or other issues with Sync3?
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
quick update. the dealer finally took the car back and reinstalled the firmware on the radio. unfortunately Im still having the same issue woth my phone. However, it does work with my friend's Galaxy s7 now.
with that said. i tried doing a factory reset to my phone and still no change.
my question now is what settings on the V10 would I need to fix to make this work?
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
You can't, yet. First Ford said the Sync 3 units (at least in the '16 f150) would have the update for Android Auto by August 31st, 2016. They blew that deadline and eventually said "by the end of the year." The update is called "Sync 3 2.0", I'm sitting on Sync 3 1.1. I'll try to remember to post back here when the update eventually is promulgated by Ford. Basically, you connect your car to wifi either tethered to your phone or at your home or work wifi or whatever other wifi, and enable automatic system updates.
I have a Ford Everest 2017 with SYNC 3 ver 2.0, but have the same problem with Android Auto, but I've only tried a couple of Android phones which are a bit older - Samsung Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia (Android versions 5.0 and 5.1) ... Apple Carplay works perfectly though, but the Maps app of Apple is not that good for navigation, especially here in the Philippines (POI's are limited)
Hi
Who have update for Sync3 ?
Please send me link for this

I have a 2016 F150 and just upgraded my Sync 1.0 to Sync 2.2 last night. My LG V10 does the same thing. Plug it into one of the usb jacks and android auto loads on the phone, then the sync 3 screen changes to android auto for just a second or two then back to normal sync. The phone stays on android auto, but none of the features are available through sync. It worka flawlessly with my LG G5 though....I did a factory reset on my V10 hoping it would help, but it didn't. I may try to reinstall the Sync 2.2 update and see if that helps, but I have read enough online to think it won't really matter, its a issue with the phone.

Where did you find the update? Mine isn't showing on wifi. I'm dying for this update, I have a 2016 f150.
AFAIK Ford hasn't fully implemented Android Auto in Sync 3, I work in car audio and that's a fairly sore subject for most customers with the Sync 3 system. Ford made claims that Sync 3 would support AA but failed to deliver, so far it looks liked they have failed miserably with the roll out.
I have a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium with Sync 3, had problems with Android Auto and learned from the right tech support person at Ford that if your USB cable is a piece of crap or worn out that Android Auto can't make the proper communication connection, replaced with a better quality usb cable and Android Auto now works great
I had a 2016 Ford Fusion and a Samsung Galaxy S5. I think it was SYNC, not SYNC 3. Then I got a Ford Fusion 2017 with SYNC 3 and Android Auto. Did not like the interface our how it all worked together. I had to use a cable for maps, but that was the worst of it. Audio (music, maps, phone) all worked. Then I got the Samsung Galaxy S8+ and nothing seems to work. The contacts appear briefly, but when I search them they disappear, and when I go to use the phone SYNC 3 tells me that it's downloading the contact list and I have to wait (it never downloads it). Since the S5 had worked, I assumed the issue was with the S8+, but I'm not 100% certain. When I try to disable Bluetooth on SYNC 3, it will not turn off. Nor will it delete the phone or even disconnect it. Even doing a master reset from the menu doesn't work. The only way I was able to delete the phone was to do a master reset using the skip button and radio on/off/volume button. My music playlists also do not show up. When I connect the phone to the USB port, Android Auto lets me play music from my phone, view my contacts, send text messages and use maps, but if I make a call there is no audio or mic function. This is getting beyond frustrating since I use the hands-free calling function extensively. I did not spend all this money for a car and a phone, and not have this functionality. The worse part is Sprint (my carrier) tells me it's a Samsung issue. Samsung wants to try all these troubleshooting steps and will ultimately blame Ford (even though a Google search will show the Galaxy S8 series has Bluetooth issues). Ford will point their finger at Samsung. I am hoping someone has had similar issues and found a resolution. I don't know if I can wait for updates that don't appear!
Update: Had car BT reflashed, did a factory reset on phone. Not sure, but I think the factory reset worked until I restored my apps, contacts and data (not settings). When I plug in the USB cable, I can make calls using hands-free, but I need to change the settings from BT to Speaker Phone. Then, all voice stuff comes through the phone (Google Maps and phone). But without the USB cable, the contacts load and then disappear. If I try to make a call, SYNC 3 tells me contacts are being downloaded. I tried another S8+ phone in the car and it worked. I tried my phone in another car and it did not work. But everytime I conclude it's the phone, something ends up making me think it's just a setting somewhere or it's SYNC.

I have a Ford Fusion 17' w/Sync 3 as well. I have a Pixel XL with 7.1.2 and I did have some issues with the contacts not downloading as well. What I did is made sure Android auto had all the permissions on in the phone settings. That cured it for me. Not sure if that will fix any of your other issues but have had no issues once I granted AA all the permissions.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Didn't help, but thanks for trying. All permissions were already enabled. In case you didn't see this....
Update (7/7/2017): Yesterday I went back to my Ford dealer and tried my phone in another 2017 Ford Fusion with SYNC 3. It had the same issue. I then tried conneceting the sales reps iPhone with my car and it worked correctly. Coincidentally, the manager just upgraded his phone to a Galaxy S8. I checked the OS and patch levels and they were the same as my phone, so I attempted to sync his phone with my car. And....it worked perfecctly the first time. Contacts downloaded and I was able to make a call from the car. So the issue MUST be with my phone. I then backed up my phone using the Samsung backup program I recently downloaded to my PC. It basically creates a complete backup of the phone. Once done, I reset my phone to factory defaults and, after the initial setup bs, created a single contact on my phone. I did a sync, which apparently worked and did not disappear. I was also able to call using my car. I restored my phone and, of course, it stopped working correctly and I can no longer make calls through my car. The issue must be some app affecting the contacts and/or bluetooth operation, but I cannot find it. While I have a bunch of apps, I don't have anything that would cause this behavior, and the same apps are on my S8+ that were on my S5 which worked.*
USB cable perhaps
I, too, am having connecting my LG G5 to Sync 3. I recently updated from v1.0 to v2.2 so I've never had Android Auto before, but now it's an option. Similarly, when I connect the phone it promisingly connects and shows notifications and other options on the Sync screen for a while. When I attempt to do something by tapping on a button on the Sync screen it immediately crashes and goes back to the normal Sync screen as you'd see when starting the car. Based on what I've read, it doesn't seem like there's much homogeneity between all our problems.
I've never been a fan of the "it's the cable" excuse. Other than loose connections or the heads not fitting firmly in the phone's port, how does a cable affect data transfer? I mean, they're not high-wattage cables so impedance shouldn't be an issue, right? I ultimately wonder if it comes down to the individual phone and its interaction with handling the app. If that's the case, then those that are having issues are boned.
I've been struggling with this same issue until about 5 minutes ago. Tried all sorts of stuff, but the fix... Using the cable that came with my phone rather than a 3rd party cable. So lame, but maybe it's worth a try for the rest of you.
My AA works fine in my mustang which has v2.0. I tried it in my explorer with v2.2 and I’m having the same issue with it bombing out after 2 seconds. Tried it on a rental with version 2.2 and it bombed out on that. Go to v2.0 and it will work.

No such luck. I have no idea why it hasn't work. I hate the thought of swapping out my phone for another S8+ and having to redo all my stuff...again. Last time, I backed up the phone and did a factory reset. I think it may have worked until I restored my data/apps (I left out the settings). What's odd is that if I'm on the phone before I get in the car, the call goes through the car once I'm in, but the caller info is missing from the car display - only the number is shown. But the car won't hang up the call, that has to be done on the phone. Then the stereo won't work.

No such luck. I have no idea why it hasn't work. I hate the thought of swapping out my phone for another S8+ and having to redo all my stuff...again. Last time, I backed up the phone and did a factory reset. I think it may have worked until I restored my data/apps (I left out the settings). What's odd is that if I'm on the phone before I get in the car, the call goes through the car once I'm in, but the caller info is missing from the car display - only the number is shown. But the car won't hang up the call, that has to be done on the phone. Then the stereo won't work.

Pretty strange, I have not had any of those issues you're describing. Google did push an update to AA and now the picture of contacts are like the whole display which make them look really crappy. IMO. The contacts do download properly now though. When I make calls it all works correctly, ending and answering calls. I have not tried having my phone connect to my car when I am on a call though. So that I would have to check on. I will get back to you on that.

I have a Ford Fusion 17' w/Sync 3 as well. I have a Pixel XL with 7.1.2 and I did have some issues with the contacts not downloading as well. What I did is made sure Android auto had all the permissions on in the phone settings. That cured it for me. Not sure if that will fix any of your other issues but have had no issues once I granted AA all the permissions.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

I have the OG Pixel XL, and just the cable that came with the phone when I bought it.
I had this same issue and what fiexed it for me was to use a shorter USB cable. The one that did not work was 6 feet long and the one that works now every time is 3 feet.
Hello everyone. I'm new here. I don't know if there is a topic similar with my issue but my smartwatch sony 3 can't connect with the internet and with the android wear app. Yesterday it was working well with my android tablet, but then I pair with another android smartphone and I can't connect it again with my tablet. It says on the smartwatch that is connected but then it shows "Just a minute..." and on the android tablet "checking for updates... this may take a few minutes". After a few minutes it shows on the smartwatch "can't connect to the android wear app on your phone. Swipe for some tips."
I have done the downgrade of the smartwatch to LWX48P version because I want to update to LCA43 to use NFC with freestyle libre because I am diabetic. Please help me, and thank you so much for your patience.
Best regards from Portugal,

Greetings. Perhaps the problem you are having is the switch. Your watch can only be connected to one host device (phone/tablet) at a time. In order to switch you need to disconnect it from the device and set it up as a new device on the new one. This will trigger a wipe (at least of /data). There may be an app to make the switch easier, but I am not sure.
Good luck.

Just a hunch, but you probably need to disconnect it from Android Wear on both devices, then remove Bluetooth pair from both devices in Bluetooth settings, then reset the watch to factory settings, then start with a clean slate.
But previous poster is correct, you cannot pair it with 2 devices, which is really annoying, so pick one device only, and you can't switch from one to the other, and then back again.

Thank you so much for your reply! It works if the smartwatch has the latest version ! But the main question is that with the LWX48P version I can't connect with my tablet. But I need to update to LCA43, and without internet I can't do it. I searched for a OTA version of LWX48P to LWX49K to LDZ22D and finally to LCA43 to make the upgrade manually but I can't find it. Can you help me please? Thank you!
