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.
Scott
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.

Hey guys, I have searched high and low for a solution to this problem but have come up empty so far. I just got a joying head unit and everything, including the easy connected app, seemed to work without issue. I decided well since I had the headunit running next to my pc that I would flash Malaysk's custom rom before installing it. After that, I reinstalled the app from various sources including the oem app but none of them seem to allow me to connect my same exact devices anymore.
Why is this important for me? I had planned on controlling a tablet in the back seat for my son who is still to young to put on show without trouble. Essentially, this would allow me to never have to reach back there to help him out.
I have read, from joying, that it would no longer work after flashing new firmware but that seemed to not be the case from some things I had read here (please correct me if I am wrong on that). Tried different cables and ports but no luck. I did read that a license might need to be carried over but not sure what that entails as I can find ZERO info on this easy connected app/problem. I hope that this is a very simple fix and that I did not jump the gun again for the chance to flash a new device (its addicting and I blame XDA for my problems...).
I did try and find some other apps that might allow me to do the same thing. RemoDroid seemed promising but didn't function. Most other ones are meant for controlling from a pc or browser and just weren't useful for the task at hand. I am open to solid suggestions. I use all Android devices and avoid the Apple juice. Any insight you guys can offer will help a tired Dad out. Thanks!
Edit: Solved-ish
The easy connect app seems to function now intermittently. Not sure there was a specific thing that I did to fix it. Seems to work when I launch easy connect app right after booting up and nothing else. Messing with other apps seems to cause a problem for my devices. Also, switching between my devices(phone and tablet) may also have been causing a problem, not sure yet. I suppose I'll just keep trying to make it work reliably until I break it again.
On the previous version of the easy connect app, you were able to disable Drive Mode from launching. Not so on the newer version with Android WiFi. If anyone has a solution to that I would appreciate it as the Drive Mode app is useless for my needs.
Note 4 - USB - works great. I have yet to try over wifi
Note 10.1 N8013(lollipop rom) - USB/Wifi - works great (disable smooth mode, remote device screen cannot be turned on with easy connect "Home" button)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...1024x600-rk3188-joying-try-uploading-t3262030
I tried several different apk's but they all have similar results and end with a connection failure.
I haven't yet tried going back to stock firmware so that might be worth trying. I installed the headunit in my car so I'm not as willing to keep flashin it as I have to park down the street from my house.
So not sure what magic I used but I was able to get it working for a moment and then it stopped again. USB and Wifi android mirroring were working so I know my current firmware/setup is functional!! Once I got it working I started configuring some other apps and when I went to run it again it wasn't connecting. I guess I'll just keep messing with it until I can figure out what got it working again.
With the newer version of the easy connected app, I can no longer disable launching of drive mode on connect. Is there a way to disable that option with the 1.4 version?
Hi.
Is it possible mirror in wifi with android?
Can you explain the way?

Newbie here, looking for buying my first MTCD. I've found this unit in many stores and eBay, but the only information I can find is that it's model is RK-A701. No MCU, no nothing. At $123,00 with free shipping looks like a good deal. What's your opinion. Has anyone bought one of these?
These are the more relevant specifications I've found:
Android 4.4
Resolution: 1024*600
Max External Memory: 16G
Cores:Quad Core
Display Size: 7"
Memory: 1GB DDR3
Storage: 16G iNAND
CPU Chip: RK3188, 1.6GHz
Doesn't seem to have WiFi
Found here, for example:
Newfrog
eBay (this is the cheapest)
Thanks in advance!
i have this ...
I have this unit, there is wifi, bluetooth is limited to the phone, for the price I find good
If it is Android 4.4 it is NOT MTCD...its and older MTCB device, also looks like it is 800x480 low res screen.
screen is 1024 x 600 , go youtube and search RK A701 ,have posted two video , sorry for my poor english ,am french ..
Better price here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-4-4...ash=item46520ebb20:g:L6cAAOSwU-pXtWls&vxp=mtr
Just bought from this seller, and even if it do not have proper wifi, i do not see any reason why you should not be able to use tethering either thru usb or bluetooth.
Do this also as many other chinese manufacturers come pre-rooted?
Haha so next up is to demolish the dash in my old astra to make it dual din
This device is not pre-rooted and various parameters are not present, it lacks developper option (solved with a developer apk). Factory setting is protected by pass word (66668888). No button to activate the bluetooth paired for other attachments. Rooting can be obtained with kingroot latest version but after rooting, some apk no longer work .It managed by Luyuan apk.
I have not tested tethering .

Which apps will not load when rooted? do you know was reading about that the radio app was launched thru their weird "launcher" cant be that hard to make it into a service because i really like
apex launcher. Btw did the unit come with youtube?
See this video for response .... https://youtu.be/65J4rU1NPOg
Hi
Do you now be any chance how to put this unit in recovery mode using reset button or others buttons on the radio
Did you check the easy connected app by me It don't work
HI,
I have not found yet and I have not managed to connect it to a PC. Is made by Luyuan and must function as wd8801 .Can be that someone has more info on the wd8801 model ... have one inew u3 phone and mirror link is fully functionnal , on the phone you must turn on the USB debugging .
I also just purchased this and installed it (via ebay)
Boot time is right at 30 seconds.
Backup cam works even before it boots so it works as needed.
Pandora works
Wifi connects to my phone hotspot for data
Radio works
I was able to remove that glowing circle (setting)
Changed boot image to my car logo in password protected area
Allow music in reverse
Installed google maps and changed settings for the GPS button to load goggle maps by default
Phone can make and receive calls via bluetooth
Can't get to work:
Android screen mirroring
bluetooth data sharing
bluetooth for torque app
I was able to get the obdII adapter to pair, but the app keeps trying to turn on bluetooth when it's already on.
I'm planning to get:
USB front camera
3G dongle
Overall very good value. Missing some features of more expensive units, but for the money ($103.49 after $20 off ebay coupon) this can't be beat! Shipped via FedEx so arrived in about a week.
Thanks for the videos you posted.
If anyone can get more use from bluetooth than just the phone, please share. I've looked through hidden menus and tried a bunch of apps with no success.
How did you manage to pair OBD. me only the phone connects, Are you sure it was the OBD who was paired? and not your phone?
Mirror link is functional but you have to activate the option for develeppeur and usb debugging.
look this video for mirror link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLN_yXqqAjM
To get OBD to pair:
Download shortcut manager lite
hXXps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
Then click 3 dots on right
Search for "bluetooth"
The first link there should be to pair. Click on it, and then click the run (rocket ship). It pairs, but that's it. I can't get Torque or any other bluetooth to "turn on" other than the phone call app and BT audio.
Did you use a USB front camera or another type? I haven't purchased that yet or a 3G dongle.
For dvr cam I have that http://www.ebay.fr/itm/262141040813?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT could be better but enough for me , for forward looking I have that http://eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Wa...a-HD-Night-Vision-CCD-Camera-wp-Eu-90974.html but I find it very wrong and inverted image , I will change .
Thanks for the links. I was thinking it needed to be a USB camera.
I was able to get mirroring to work on the second try. Not sure why it didn't work the first time.
What was the "free gift" that came in the second package? Mine is expected on Saturday. I'm assuming it's an SD card with map software, but that is just a random guess. If so, what maps? Software? Up to date?
If anyone had a bluetooth USB dongle, could you try putting that in the front USB and see if you can connect that to an OBD or data connection from your phone?
I can't put my hands on one right now.
Mine is came with nothing , gps software installed is igo primo but without maps or sd card , had tested 4 bluetooth dongles , but whitout sofwares for control these dongles , give nothing .
My free gift that I mentioned was junk. Went straight to the trashcan.
Thanks for posting bt adapter results, now I won't bother to find mine.
I tried to root with king root, but after I stated the app, it said there was no root available for the device.
Where I got the app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
Rooted with Kingroot 4.9.5-149 . Version 4.9.6 did not work with me either ..
Kingoroot was the only app I found that would root it for me. Tried a couple of versions of kingroot and towelroot with no success.
What sat nav apps have people managed to install? I've got igo working after downloading some maps but many of the popular ones say they are not supported on the play store. I tried market helper to see if I could change the device model for the play store but it throws up a token not found error.
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,
Catarina
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!

This thread is to discuss any and all things related to running Android Auto on the LG V30.
Report problems, discuss work-arounds, recommended apps, etc.
fyi, I am running my LGV30 on crankshaft OS using open auto on a raspberry pi. Open Auto is a Android Auto emulator, and I can report that it works as advertised... great DIY approach to adding android auto to a radio without android auto capabilities.
I have a question... anyone running AA on a V30 has gotten waze to work? For me, I get a blank screen when I try to launch waze in AA, and the whole thing locks up until I disconnect my phone. Google Maps works just fine.

I used Waze with no issues for a trip over the weekend... it was the first time the kids had seen Android Auto in action and it kinda blew their minds - lol.
I just tried to install Android auto on my LG V30+ and get the message that my phone is not supported. On play.store website that is. On the phone, I can't even see the app...I am in an "unsupported country at the moment, however my account, card, phone number etc are from a supported country (UK)
My mobile is even active with the UK number in roaming. How do I make it work please?
Try download android auto apk from apkmirror.

I've noticed an annoying issue with AA and potentially unique to the V30. If I make/answer a call in AA then hang up and try to play audio, it plays the audio through the phone speakers instead of via bluetooth to the car speakers. So far have had this happen twice after a call. Unplugged USB then plugged back in fixed it.
If you want to play with some root stuff and want to watch videos on your head unit, there is CarStream for Android Auto. Obviously, it's not good to use while driving but if you eat in your car or just waiting to pick someone up or something, it's a good time killer. It's made mostly for YouTube but stuff like Plex works too.

Wife purchased a 2019 Outback LTD and she could connect her Pixel 2 to the headunit and run AA, but I could not accomplish same with my V30.
This post of yours, and the information on the APKMIRROR site were so helpful. I am up and running now.
Do you know if these variants will be brought together into a new PlayStore version?
Thank you.
Unfortunately I have no idea what google is planning hopefully, yes.
Hello Guys i have a situation with My Android Auto and My LG V30.
I am running an Android radio and installed HUR. Before i Saw this thread i was convinced that the only way to use Android auto on My phone was thru wireless mode which Is good but sometimes i don't know why it suddenly disconnects and i have to connect again manually.
So i Saw this post and it works the "Charging Only" mode i was so happy !! But then i select "charging only" always when i connect the usb and i have no connection so i have to put it again in MTP and now everytime i Want to connect to Android auto i have to go to developer options before i connect the usb and select charging only then go back and connect the usb to the radio and thats the way it works.
Anyone has a similar problem? The radio Is not the problem and neither the usb cable because My wife Huawei P30 Lite works perfect with Android Auto.
USB is a mess on the V30. Connection is extremely unstable with both of my cars. It is not caused by the cable or USB port. Both have been replaced.
