Project Mk5 GTI Android head unit WIP

Yes the canbus controller is used for sensing reverse and for allowing for a timed shutdown as mentioned. Both work well in my MkV, as well as the steering wheel controls.

Hey guys - seems there's heaps of confusion (and pages...) on XDA with updating and rooting - what version FW/SW are you using and do you till have root? I'm still on supplied and un-modded FW but don't know to root first or update?
Cheers,
Cheddo.

Rooting is on the backburner for me for now but it just seems like you need to manually install su before you start. If you update I think you lose root so don't bother until you are up to date. I have latest on there, that's what mine shipped with.

I'm on 2.9.2 and still have root. FW wise I'm on number 15,just updated through model select in extra menu after updating software. I'll attach picture later on.

Where did you get 2.9.2 from?

My mistake, I'm on 2.7.9, mcu 4.2.15_1-10-2101.

Definitely have root.

Confusion avoided me too (except for root at this point)

Just installed 2.7.11. Improved radio interface is good.

Will have to give it a try when I get a chance later this week. I believe root has been retained on 2.7.11 and even 2.7.22 the 4.2.2 version I think

Haven't seen 4.2.2 links yet but haven't looked that hard. I'm not messing with the interface at this point so not pursuing root. Have an audio issue with primo that I need to resolve first.
Otherwise very happy with the unit. I hope they implement bt avhcp 1.3 in the new version for artist/track info when streaming audio from your phone. I know this is available in the AOSP roms generally like cyanogen
