Thanks, this works perfect on my 2019 Cerato GT... BUT.... the PIN 1111 does not work. (nor does 1234 or 0000 or the time... or the date)...
Does anyone know the latest PIN for the 4+1 presses as above?
Thanks
Hi All, Thanks for all the intructions that you guys have provided so far. I have been silently following this thread and have now decided to register and post up.
I have a 2018 Kia Sorento Sport 2.2 Diesel (Australia) with Navigation. 3rd Party apps have been installed successfully (Easy touch, Orientation, SoundAbout and VLC Player Lite) except for Youtube only because I cant find Wifi option under android settings OR under engineering mode.
My HU is LG and I think they must have disabled Wifi under settings somewhere that I cant find (gone through all engineering mode settings). Also tried internet connection sharing over bluetooth but that wont work as well becasue KIA have disabled internet over bluetooth.
I can see under ADB mode there is IP address and DNS server address which means dealership have some means of connecting HU to internet.
While I was running out of ideas, I tried installing USB wifi dongle to HU via USB port (next to AUX IN) to no avail. HU doesnt even recognise the Wifi dongle being plugged in.
Can someone shed some light on how to get Wifi or internet going on my HU ?, any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Amir.

Hello Amir,
The Internet connection is made by the WiFi access point on your phone. This can be automatically achieved once the bluetooth is connected, thanks to an app like "Kia hotspot". Your Kia will connect to the wifi from your phone that is sharing the 4G connection...
Hi Xof_fr,
Thanks for your reply.
I would be more than happy to use "KIA Hotspot" app only if I had Wifi option in my HU to connect to my phone's hotspot
Please see the pictures I have attached in here, these Will Give you an idea of my problem.

Identical issue with 2018 UM PE Sorento (GT Line)
Also Australia
The unit is a 8" running Android 4.2.2, in status there is no MAC address for WiFi, and like above, no WiFI options.

So mate, This confirms that our Australian models have LG systems and there is no Wifi OR has been disabled.
I'm trying to find out which without pulling it out.
Like you I tried a wifi dongle, which should be supported kernel level and nothing.
I'll try wired ethernet soon, just that takes a little more...effort.
I have a firmware update file for the LG (877mb), supposedly for the unit we have.
Unknown if it will add anything, the source doesn't know either.
So, if theres no other developments I may as well see what happens.
My car is new sportage 2018 and tapping 7 times on screensaver screen didn't bring up password screen.
Is there any way to access this back door on my car?
I checked engineering mode in system information and I found Android version: 4.2.2 there. It means there is a way to access for me, but this trick is not.
If anyone finds the solution, please update.
Thanks

Maybe current time +0314
Guys from a russian thread could access from the firmware update window.
If you succeed with the access click downgrade enable and flash the previous firmware.
I haven't checked this method, I'm on previous firmware.
If it works, all credits to welder_pb ({Mod edit}).

I finally got in, and It was like a dago chasing a car.....I have no clue what to do now that I caught it. LOL
Used this method for my 2019 Kia Soul
You tube C3NsN5MJGzg <----- cant post a link
I did not see anything I could readily change to accomplish anything.
I was hoping I could ditch some dash popups and that annoying warning at start up

1Hi,
Does anyone have any dea how to access engineering mode on my i40 Gen4 Unit with software ST.VFIA.EUR.E536.230920? I need to change amp modes but I cant seem to even get the password prompt to appear as of yet. Thanks.
EDIT: I've managed to get the password screen to appear, it was on the storage info screen, 5 taps in the bottom left and then 1 tap in the bottom right, I mustn't have been tapping quite far enough into the corner. I'll have a try at getting the codes from the update file tomorrow and post back with any updates (if there are any).1
Ok, so the password seems to be 2504 and that gets me to an engineering menu but when I go to variant coding -> amp it gives me 3 options but wont let me select any of them, internal is selected but i need to change it to external. Anybody got any ideas? Am I in some sort of dealer mode and need a different passcode?1Hi,
Do any of you have a firmware file for HYUNDAI Kona Non-Nav e.g.: OS.EUR.SOP.V085 DAU_A etc?
My radio is on loop: Making quickboot image I tried to upload the software from the Navi version, but some of the buttons do not work properly. I uploaded a copy of eMMC from another radio but I still have a boot loop.
I need update files for version V085 from this or another radio without navi on the Mobis platform.
Or some other software to fix my radio1
I'm not afraid of challenges, but sometimes I need a little help
Other software will allow me to get the boot.img file that I am missing, but it must be exactly version V085.
Maybe qb_data_image will fix the boot loop error. I don't know how Quickboot works. I wonder if it could be turned off, because the radio reboots to the system for a few seconds, but after a while I get the message: QB System preparing.. and restart to Making Quickboot..
I tried to create files from a copy of emmc, I created boot.img, recovery.img, splash.img, system.img, I have the lk.rom file from another version of the software. I encrypted everything and uploaded it from USB, but the boot loop still occurs.
I tested another system, downloaded the emmc memory, created files and uploaded them from USB and everything is fine. I think that the emmc copy from another radio may be missing or damaged. That's why I need the original software

Today on the Valentines day we have made a secret go public.
We have been able to gain root access on the Gen5WIDE headunits from europe.
with this hack you can grab and dump the whole system.
extracts info, keys, decrypt files and perhaps create ur own custom fw.
we provide this info for free, so people can share knowledge and new findings.
Please be aware that this is mainly for devs and technical nerds and linux lovers. untill someone perhaps creates a more user friendly hack.
Happy hunting

Update on another model thet does not allow the "full engineering menu":
2018 Elantra SEL USA version.
NO: Cannot access the engineering mode that enables app installations (7 taps over 3 points on settings/screensaver).
YES. Can access the engineering mode from Settings/System Info (5 taps left - 1 tab right).
Looking forward to the hero that finds out how to jailbreak these versions!!3
Of course ! Just install Headunit Reloaded (4.6) on the car system.
Set it with your phone name (SSID) used for wifi server, and leave IP blank (auto).
The wifi mode of Headunit will automatically connect to Android Auto if this one is in developer mode and its server mode launched.
Everything can be totally automatic, the phone can stay in the pocket. Android Auto appears on the main screen few seconds after the wifi connnection to the phone.
