  @Kurt Davenport NavRadio+ is a good alternative. There should be a version that works as a drop-in replacement for the default Scout launcher radio. It's worth the effort to sign up for XDA Devel...

• Question about HA5476 Vivid11 Firmware / MCU

  I can verify that the 20250217 build is a stable fix, at least for now. 20240913 loses voice support right after you enter your Google credentials and it updates Play Services. Holding back updates...

• Question about HA5476 Vivid11 Firmware / MCU

  I made some progress. Setting "screen:12" in dmcu.ext fixed the display issues. It looks like wiping the unit brings back the Android Auto voice guidance, but in order to stop the bug you must pre...

  Just wanted to come back to this thread after a few months. I still get the radio input not coming back after waking from auto-sleep, but I found a workaround. If I cycle the unit with the Power On...

  I've had good stability with 4.04 and 20230703 so far. I'll try 20230728 next. Thanks.

• Vivid11 - Radio signal after auto-sleep

  @Support Dasaita It's an issue that gets raised on XDA Developers, because some cars will allow current drain with ACC OFF and others will not. In my case (Toyota RAV4 Hybrid) the issue gets ...

• Vivid11 - Radio signal after auto-sleep

  @Support Dasaita I was able to apply the update with no issues. It will take several days of use to see if the issue returns. I still stand by what I said earlier, it would be useful to set the tim...

• Vivid11 - Radio signal after auto-sleep

  @Support Dasaita I decided it was easier to set auto-sleep to 1 hour and allow it to reboot. I am happy to test 4.04 but if you want me to test 20230708 I would rather have it in the update.zip for...

• Vivid11 - Radio signal after auto-sleep

  @Support Dasaita Is this new version higher than 4.01? For me 4.01 has been solid.

  Just a quick update, the issue with the radio app frezzing up still happens, and there are some threads on XDA Developers about it. Some apps seem to get frozen in memory or have their permissions ...

• How do you change the general audio?

  I had success by setting radio all the way down to 1 and then adjusting the "Amp volume" in the "other" menu until it was OK. It's also useful to download an app (on your phone) to make sure you ar...

  I can verify that the upgrade worked. It didn't brick me and it didn't force me to wipe the device and reinstall everything. A few things are different, the biggest thing is you get Zlink5 which sp...

  Thanks for the reply. You are saying that, for the MTCH MCU firmware, that V3.80 is a later (more recent) version then v3.89a? Am I understanding you correctly?
