Unfortunately, afaik Korean firmware doesn't have languages other than English and Korean. You can try installing Russian firmware, but I think it will not allow it hmm.
Previous versions (like a 2018-2019) of Korean firmware on Gen5 had a choice of russian language in android settings.
I think I need to downgrade the firmware version, but I'm afraid to turn the device into a brick.
I would like to see the downgrade process as well! I also want to downgrade my firmware but for now, no one seems to have written anything about it
I saw several non-Korean variant firmware downgrades tho.
Hello everyone in this chat!
I have a Hyundai i30 n-line 2019. Wi-fi is not available.
Car from South Korea.
Here's how I managed to get into engineering mode:
We go into the settings, update, click on the left of the update button five times, on the right twice.
We get into the password entry menu. Enter 2900
In order for the password to work, you must change the date settings to 2020. Otherwise, the password 2900 will not be correct and you will not get into the engineering mode.
What good can be done in the engineering mod, I did not figure it out. I need to turn on the wireless apple car play. I would also like to get into the android settings to change the language to my own. Initially, only Korean or English are available.
I didn't succeed.
Who knows how to enable this, as well as - a wifi hotspot - please answer me.

you can use the official updater with a VPN set to South Korea, but you cannot get it without the navigation, the update comes as a bundle.
if you already have the French version, it's useless to get the Korean update.

If I remember correctly for the 10" devices, there is no possibility for wifi Carplay or AA...
sorry, your only solution now would be to get one of those wireless adapter ( I got one that is a dash cam and adapter in the same time for me)
Thank you for your answer.
To be sure, how can I access the VARIANT CODING / CPU VARIANT CODING menu?
for the codes the latest were
Eng Mode code: 26031236
CPU Variant code: 23060663
to access there are 2 methods, you can find them on YouTube

I realized that I need to enable adb mode. How to do it on this firmware? There is no CTS or "prepare autotest" in engineer mode.
I even bought a usb-ethernet device.
well, I went to service with my Kia Xceed, and I will get new head unit (completely) - seem I got faulty one, I couldn't connect wirelessly to AAuto, although colleague connected with his iPhone (CarPlay wireless) but it took some 10 minutes,,, AAuto works via cable, but I can connect wirelessly to any other Xceed head unit, so, it's up to them to fix it - and only way is by changing it...
Yes, but your car is announced with wireless AA (I suppose 2023 model). People here is mostly searching for AA wireless solution for older models. Just because they HEARD that their infotainment systems is AA wifi capable. That's a big difference.
No, I am just saying they should check everything, and maybe it turns out they have faulty head unit as I got...
this is NOT thread on specific HW with or without WIfI capable AAuto, but all Hyundai/Kia infotainment units...

Thank you for the answer.
Unfortunately these codes do not work.
I manage to access the engineer mode with the code 19500624 but I do not see the CPU VARIANT CODING menu, there may be a special code to access it?

what is your firmware? surely you have a Linux-based head unit. there is no Variant Coding tab in it

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 radio
1
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.
