Got this installed last night ended up draining battery use interior lights lol charged battery to day got car to start but don't know what I've done but the headlights don't switch off when I lick the car unless I turn them off normally left on auto.
Could the headunit have changed something or could the light settings have reset with the battery going dead couldn't lock the car without using the key

Hi guys, every time i get a message on my Sinosmart screen saying "the system is about to enter the upgrade mode" followed by a 5 sec count down. is there a way to disable this please?

did you downloaded an upgrade maybe? What if you connect it to internet and enter the upgrade mode?

Its been sorted already, it says "the system is about to enter the upgrade mode" because an ssd is connected, but once i unplugged the drive, it doesn't do that anymore.

Great!

I also have I question myself for the Carplay users.
I almost always have to reconnect Carplay manually by disabling bluetooth, enabling bluetooth en reselect the correct bluetooth connection.

My phone is correctly connected to the unit when I start the car (bluetooth lights up on the top right), and wifi connection is also made to the unit.
Zlink is marked as "auto start" but remains in the "connect to bluetooth" start screen.

I tried to delete my phone from the bluetooth settings several times but the problem remains.

I had the chance to replace my Carplay dongle (for wireless Carplay) with an Android unit. Although the Android OS takes some getting used to, that giant screen is really blissful.
The after-sales services are also super helpful and these Sinosmart units are a lot cheaper than the better-known Dasaita units. And. if you use my url + code to order, you also get the DAB+ receiver & 2 Fakra adapters for free so you can just use the original aerials

I like the usb dab+ receiver i dont know if its because its dab+ but get better signal with it than the dab in the standard nissan stereo a lot less drop outs only had 1 where as we would get a few

Indeed, with the default it sometimes switched back to FM but I didn't noticed this from happening now.
