How to Update Your Android Car Stereo Firmware?

Update Android Car Headunit Firmware
If you're the type of person who loves to keep their gadgets updated with the latest software, then you're going to love this video! Today, we're going to show you how to update your Android car stereo to the latest version. That's right, we're going to make sure that your car head unit is running at its best and delivering the ultimate listening experience. So, get ready to rev up your engines and let's get started with this tutorial on how to update your Android car stereo.
[00:00] Intro
[00:37][Step 1: Check the App Version]
The first step to updating your Android Head Unit is to check the current app version. To do this, go to 'Car Settings' and then 'System Settings'. Look for the app version and note it down. In my case, it is K2501_NWD. The update file I provide will also work with the K2501_UP version.
[01:02][Step 2: Download the Update File]
Next, look for the comaptible update file for the your app version by doing a simple google search. For K2501_NWD or UP, download the update file from the link provided in the video description. The file is about 1.2GB in size.
Download: drive.google.com/file/d/18nLw...
Once you download the compatible update file, rename it to update.zip and copy it to a USB pendrive.
[01:28][Step 3: Connect the Pendrive to Your Android Car Stereo]
Connect the pendrive to your Android car stereo and move to 'Car Settings', then 'System Settings' and then choose 'System Update'.
[01:38][Step 4: Check for the Update File]
Here, you should see the update.zip file. If you do not see it, you need to create the same path as shown in the video. Create a folder named mnt, then inside that folder, create another folder called media_rw and then create another folder named udisk. Paste the update.zip file within the udisk folder.
[02:04][Step 5: Update Car Android System]
When you see the update file is available, tap on 'Start Update'. It will take around 15 minutes to update your Android car stereo to the latest version selected.
[02:16][Conclusion]
So, there you have it, folks! By following these simple steps, you can easily update your Android car stereo to the latest version. If you found this video helpful, please hit the like button and subscribe to our channel for more content like this. Thanks for watching!

[@jonladon4763]

Can anyone confirm that this update will include the newest version of Zlink? I am considering updating my head unit but if I install the software update and Zlink isn’t there that is an obvious issue. I just want clarification before I install.

[@TechEmpty]

You will get ZLINK 5 with this update

Hi! Do you by chance have firmware update for K2001N_LSD

[@TechEmpty]

Hello. Sorry, I don’t have it. You can search or ask in forum xda developers.

[@hanzjeremyjutic671]

mine is Q92_00020_V001 any help please?

[@dump119]

Is this firmware version in the download link has Zlink and 360camera?

[@TechEmpty]

As far as I know, it does. I was asked to fix 360 camera when I bought the system. Do you want me to check any options to confirm it, let me know.

[@gnanaphani2218]

Hello.. I have carbitlink in my system and no zlink.. will I get zlink with this update?

[@TechEmpty]

If you have the same model system (K2501 T5), then YES.

[@hahatdog101]

I updated my head unit using your link, now my 360 panorama camera doesn't work anymore please help 😭 do you have other firmware link with the 360?🙏

[@TechEmpty]

It should work. You should link the camera to the firmware. It’s like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/pprNmpaPjcuse7c Try different options

[@kirankumar9199]

i had searched in xda developers and xyzAuto but i didnt got any version for this

[@TechEmpty]

Will check that

[@ricardobarragan3464]

after start the update saids error you know why? mine is a k2501_nwd

[@TechEmpty]

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing an error with your Android head unit update. The error could be due to various reasons, such as compatibility issues or an interrupted update process. Does your system already have carplay feature?

[@shashankdatta]

Hi, Very informative video. I have a question. Is this is official Update or from 3rd party? Just to know whether this update is safe or not

[@TechEmpty]

There is nothing like official. If you get the update file from seller, then it suits 100% for your system. But the update file you get from the internet may or may not be compatible for your system.

[@SENNI55]

Good evening I have Tlink installed from the factory It works with apple carplay wireless But the android auto works only with cable not wireless How can i make android auto work wireless

[@TechEmpty]

Android auto works with wire in most of the car head units

[@amitkarade6080]

Can we install zlink on a 3yrs old android stereo (motosound)??

[@TechEmpty]

If the system supports, it will work. Otherwise don’t. Try to update it if yours is the same model.

[@shyamsundar-pf8lh]

Please confirm whether we need to unzip the file while copying through pendrive

[@TechEmpty]

Just paste the downloaded zip file. No need to unzip or zip the downloaded file.

[@bharatrathod28]

[@TechEmpty]

Please check the build number in your device's Settings > About. If the build number's date is prior to March 7, 2022, proceed with the update. However, if the build date is after March 7, 2022, please skip the update.

[@TechEmpty]

Hello brother. I don’t understand hindi. But what I understood is, you have a problem with the location. Even though you update the system, it didn’t fixed. Right? If that’s the case, I guess you have the problem with GPS module. Get it right by reaching the retailer.

[@veluprabhu6722]

Hello Friend my Android headunit is K2501_NWD_S212802.20230620.093038.H5D9.01D. Should I update from your link will it work . Please Guide. Where will i found the latest SW updates

[@TechEmpty]

You can update from the file i provided.

[@ricardocerejo9095]

My unit is a MT8163, and for non sense I clicked in erase all to factory settings. The seller doesn't answer to any of my email's, so kinda on my own. Is there anyway I can find the Firmware with the ZLINK already included?

[@TechEmpty]

Sorry for that. Did you tried contacting the retailer where you bought the head unit? They might have the installation file

[@syvah0462]

I reset my head unit now my Zlink is gone how to I get it back please

[@TechEmpty]

Update the unit with compatible software. You will get it back. If yours is K2501 UP or NWD, the update file you find in the description of this video do work. After updating, connect to internet and open the zlink. It will activate by itself.

[@Karrice]

This update gave an error on my system. Could you provide an update zip that would work for K2401_JYT thank you!

[@TechEmpty]

Will check for that

[@user-gm4ip8bg5c]

After the zip file my system says it doesn’t support the file Should I unzip the file?

[@gigihentz5510]

same question here...

[@TechEmpty]

No need to unzip the file. If yours is K2501, it should work. Otherwise, please look for the specific model number update file. Let me know which is your system model number.

[@benleven5208]

Hello. Will this update work with K2001N_JYT

Is K2001N is the T8 system?

[@kirankumar9199]

Sir please can you send me the update file for MOCO XG06 App version DQ4211Q_FYDZ
