I stopped using easyconnect, it makes my tablet very unstable and constantly turns the display off even if it's not connected, I'll look into it again at some point as time permits

iirc when you do the installer.jpg method it removes that exploit for future attempts (unless something has changed recently) I myself use the other method where you copy the exe files to a USB and load a background for it, granted this method won't work while in motion (meaning you can't start...

This just gives the presets (i.e. rock, pop, classic, voice) I wonder if it's even possible to get the graphic EQ like what is pictured

The touchscreen not reacting could be any number of issues, the primary one being if your android version is too high, you can only show the screen, not control it. I believe the version cut off is Android 9 it stops working, if your device is below that, try a different device if you can, even...

I'll put together a USB image for you, just give me some time since it is a holiday here in the U.S. and I'm out with family. I've been busy as well apologies for not responding sooner

I only have my unit that's in-car, I haven't been able to find any sync2 vehicles in my local salvage yards yet

Read post 1741, and use that package of software, it's far better than the encrypt/decrypt method and requires almost no effort. I will admit, I wish there was a launcher or something that I could use if the vehicle is in motion but that's for a different post

If you use the package from Ford website, it detects navigation and reinstalls it (did on my unit)

Lol. Fair enough, but I still feel like we're just getting to the top of the ice burg, granted I could be horribly wrong and the ship has sunk, who knows. I have been having issues with my sync 2 unit rebooting randomly, and if I don't turn BT on my phone off, it just boot loops, so I have a...

That is interesting, why would Ford make something that, if I had to guess, no body uses have such a high priority? I could see if it were like BT or a button listener for button actions, but the speech doesn't make sense to me. On your bench unit, is it possible to run something besides WinCE...

Hmm ... I myself never use the speech recognition stuff on my sync 2 unit, does anyone else? I wonder if we were to replace it with a dummy file if that would increase the performance?

Well if you installed using the decrypt software method (or bought from the Russian) you might have to re-install sync 2, as far as writing a how-to, I don't think the methods are there yet, but if you look back through this thread. You will find everything you need to achieve what you want to...

Do you think it might be worth making a VLC CE build to try? All the versions I have found are not actually WinCE executables, I have a feeling that will also give a better experience than the video player we currently have.

I use 7 zip for all my archive needs

Out of curiosity, what are the skeleton keys used for anyway?

I feel like we are getting very close to figuring out all the mysteries that are left on this system, the one thing I wish I could find (but can't cause it doesn't exist as far as I know) is a Android Auto program, or some way that's better than screen mirroring a android device that can be...

Hmm ok. I haven't tried the package yet, you have the files on root of USB?

You are welcome, hope the files work for ya

I got the USB files made for you, I did not include any of the iGo files, just the files needed to run it on a sync 2 unit. there is a text file in the navngo folder that gives an overview of what to do, let me know if you have any problems with this

I know it's Windows CE 6 based, and I think (I could be wrong, may want to verify) it is a MIPS processor, if you need people to test your build, I can accomodate. Beans I got the file, I'll get it setup for you to try when I get a moment unless someone else beats me to it.

If you can provide me with a filename layout, for iGO, I will set it up for you. In other news, the media player I found loads super fast, but the file open window is not usable really, I also managed to get hobdashboard to load, I have to set up the module to connect to my ELM327 to see if it...

I think my old wince gps unit ran iGO actually, I'll have to dig it out of my junk drawer and see

I have found a few VNC Clients for WinCE, however none of their links are working, which is frustrating, Il keep looking and see if I get anywhere, but its not looking good as this is now an obsolete system (in IT standards at least) however I did find a file browser that I am going to try as...

Awesome, thank you for the response, I had a feeling it was going to be that, I will see if I can get a VNC client to run and let you know how it goes. I luckily have a win ce 6 emulator so it makes testing things a little easier

I just have 1 last question, if I want to add my own exe do I just rename the PNG and generate a txt file to match it or is there an actual process to generate those files? I am very gracious for posting the files and answering questions. I can also say that factory navigation doesn't appear...

Oh thank you for posting this, I've been trying to get apps to run and have been having no luck, this actually cleared up the issue I was having for me.

I have several vnc clients on my phone, I'll have to see if there's any win ce clients

I found a copy of VLC that was supposedly made for windows ce 6, I am going to try getting that to work, no idea how it will go though since I've never tried this and I don't know if the app will actually work

just an update, I figured out the answer to my question, now to tinker and see what i can accomplish

Ok, I read this and I'm confused about 1 thing, does this have to be on both SD and USB, just USB, or just SD? That's not very clear

I believe you just have to edit a couple lines in the 3.08 to say 3.10, I don't recall which limes though. I believe that info is in this thread though

I have seen that too, but the process of fixing is to try all the easy stuff first, if it doesn't work with a different device, then I'd say try the install.bin again, maybe this te.the D5 package, since you already have it installed, just changing the S/N with decrypt and renaming the...

I did the D5 package for my install, if it isn't working on your device, I'm wondering if a different device would yield a result (even if it isn't your primary device) cause I recall reading somewhere (maybe this thread?) That some devices have issues with easy connect, is there a possibility...

Sounds good, I'm confident we'll be able to get it working, just need to find the working combo

I believe if you uninstall the app from your device then plug it in, the screen should give you a qr code to get an APK, I'd try that just to see if it starts working, then we can try and go from there

Ok, that's a good thing, did you verify the cable is good with a PC? You have developer mode on and USB Debugging enabled? And you also need the app on your device

On my sync 2 it has the first image, I'm not sure if that's a newer or older version, does it load to a screen then give an error or just flash that for a second then go back to the main screen?

There is a risk of losing navigation, but the instructions to fix it are on this page, it's just an extra couple of files. Have you tried using an install.bin from a different MirrorLink package?

Easiest way is to make a 3.10 install USB and reinstall 3.10, I haven't tried the new package myself yet but it's on the list of things to do.

I was able to get the D5 links to work, the gist is after you download and extract D5, you open CMD in the D5 directory and type "decrypt <S/N>" which is 8 digits, if that all stuff you've done and your getting nothing verify you have the correct S/N from your APIM. This will be different for...

Firstly, no need to shout, secondly, we need more information, like are you getting errors? Does it do nothing at all? Just saying it doesn't work is similar to bringing your vehicle to the mechanic and saying "fix it" then walking away

I wonder if the video player software I have on my WinCE nav unit (not sync2) would handle videos better, I may have to fire that up and test. If that handles a modern video better than sync 2, maybe I'll try my hand at making an app for sync 2

Out of curiosity has anyone successfully re-calibrated their touchscreen? Mine is pretty off and whenever I try to recalibrate it, it just keeps looping, or is the program you have here different from the built-in WinCE one?

Ahh ok, that's where I was getting lost, the dll I'm used to being the equivalent of a .so file on Linux, not the actual executable info, I know a little bit about OS code from my UT on a Galaxy Note 4 experience, but I'm unfamiliar with windows programming outside of VBASIC lol

I wasn't saying "hey let's run explorer" I chose that as the file name, probably an oopsie on my part, but I do have other WinCE apps like iGo, and I was curious if it would be possible to run those on the shockwave system, I don't yet know how to compile an "install.bin" for that kind of stuff.

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to install a regular WinCE executable like explorer from WinCE 6? I'm still learning Win CE 6 and sync is a bit of a strange beast to me

Factory Nav isn't all that great anyways, and that happened with all the sync 2 units from 3.08 on iirc, I didn't know there was a version higher than 3.10 for an update ...

I had downgraded my unit from 3.10 to 3.08 once, I just copied the 3.08 files on to a USB then edited the file to make it look like a 3.10 update and it downgraded it back with no USB removing or anything, I may try that method and see if it works. I also figured out if you just copy...

Yes, you have to reset the sync 2 unit, the info to do that is in this thread iirc

So I can't find the original post I found that linked to the thread, but I did find the thread with the links. I'd be willing to test if you need someone to test. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/porting-android-auto-to-existing-windows-ce-car-headunits.2795971/post-85100779
