After attempting to install the newer new pipe and something else, (I also tapped the X that appeared on the right side of the screen at some point), anyway now the entertainment system is no longer appearing.. It SEEMS to work somewhat -- radio works but nothing on display, when I press a key it flashes the correct thing for a second and then disappears -- screen turns grayish with the clock bar still visible.. . it seems the background apps still work, but something gray pops on top of it.. The reset button did not help..
I tried the plugging in a USB keyboard and hitting ALT-PrtScr-E buttons and it does work - first I get weird colored lights, then it says 'updating infotainment system', but that takes about 10 seconds, it reboots, and then it's back to the same thing. I tried the Easy Fire Tools, but it can no longer connect to the car.. The ADB must not be running at the car end..

SOLVED -- I was able to go quickly into settings and do a factory reset.. after that it works. Interestingly, if I enable wifi, then the problem comes back.. It must be a bad firmware.. off to update it now.

Good day everybody. How do I get into the engineering mode of my Kia Soul (2nd generation)? My screensaver menu doesn't look the same as in post #1, typing in the info menu didn't help either.

Nice job @xakcop . Do you know if Gen4 works similar? It has Android 2.3.4. I would like to change radio region and in engineering mode I have found this but the changes are not saved after the radio restart. Do you know what can cause this and how to change this?
I confirm that password is 2603.

I have a question about maps for the US and EU. I have seen somewhere that you cannot just put maps for Europe if the navigation system is from the US because the satellites are wrong. But I'm checking this, and for a standalone GPS, there is no problem if it is in the US or Europe. So, what is the issue with European maps working on US navigation?

Does this work with Gen5W as well? I tried to follow your guide but I don't have update_package.zip
I guess it's because either Gen5W is different from Gen5 or the car is Korean variant

    WARNING!
    Do not install any LAUNCHERS (NovaLauncher etc.) or ROOT - it`s brick your device.
    Do not do anything else! Do not enter in other sections of Engineering mode.
    Be patient and follow the instructions strictly!

    You can watch my VIDEO MANUAL on YouTube HERE

    ENGINEERING MODE:
    Go to All Menus -> Settings -> Screensaver.
    To enter in the Engineering mode you need to tap 7 times under screensavers icons (on red rings) from left to right and back.

    do it fast.
    Great! Now we have password window! The password is – time on your clock now!


    Ok, its luck!

    ANDROID SETTINGS:
    Now we need to enter to Android settings -> Security and activate Unknown resources.

    Done! This will give us the opportunity to install applications from the USB drive.
    Note: this system hasn`t go Google apps, Play Market etc.
    Push Home button and then we need to access to Engineering mode again.

    INSTALLING FILE MANAGER:
    To access to the USB drive and install all the applications we need to install File Manager first!
    Go to All Menus -> Settings -> Screensaver, tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap, password - time on clock.
    Engineering mode -> All Applications -> Browser

    On adress bar write: file:///storage/usb0/file.apk and tap OK!

    Fist install EasyTouch, when it`s intalled tap Open.

    Play EasyTouch Demo and them tap Go.
    Note: EasyTouch Settings works only on portrait orientation (don`t be afraid it`s mormal).
    So, there are many settings, they are no need us now, we need just activate EasyTouch button.

    Done! Now push Home and than tap EasyTouch button to open а window. Now we have BACK and HOME buttons.


    With long press on any icon in this window it can changed. Change one of them by choosing Engineering mode shortcut on Choose app -Done! Tap anywhere to close window.
    Call the window again, swipe left and open Android settings -> Special abilities -> Services EasyTouch - ON

    That’s Ok, now we can normally surf in internet and have all shortcuts of any apps.

    On RADIO or AUX MODE sounds from third-party apps doesn’t works!

    Now we in SoundAbout settings. Choose on MEDIA AUDIO - Wired Headphones and that`s all.
    Tap EasyTouch button and BACK.
    Now we need to restart the multimedia - push reset button in SD card slot one time (or find it near you screen). Or you can turn off ACC, open and close driver door and wait 5 minutes to restart the Multimedia.

    Just purchased a 2022 Telluride SX with the wide screen. Been reading this thread and noticing no one has found a way to get into engineering mode for these newer firmware, right?

    I would just like to side load some apps and be able to run them from the Kia main menu.

    If for some reason I am incorrect in that there’s no way to side load these newer widescreens then please do let me know. It’s Likely I may have scanned across a post or something that had that info.

    Thanks!

    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

    Hi guys,
    On my Tucson (2018 - AA) I can only access the engineering mode where I don't...
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    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!!

    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.
