You have linux version of Gen5W. I suppose you have Navigation. If yes, there's only one slot in your device which could be used for navigation or wireless AA. In your case (and in mine also) it is occupied with gps module needed for navigation. So wireless AA is only possible via USB device as AAwireless or Motorola MA1. But in that case, you have to use one and only USB for that. So no USB ports left because of Hyundai/KIA silly thinking that one data USB port per car is enough!
This is CD_20.EUR.55W_L.001.001.221223 the letter in the firmware number confirms that this is the Euro version based on Linux.

Is there any Discord server that is related to this? And if not, am I okay to create one? I want people to share some information they found
There's already a storage for this (if "this" means how to enter secret menus):

The whole reasearch is so "modest", unfortunately, that you'll not need much server space, IMHO
Hello,
i am new here and i was wondering if it would be possible to install OTA on my Hyundai Tucson with Gen5W navigation? All KIAs with Gen5W navigation do have this option. At Hyundai, this is only the Ioniq5. Would this work by downloading the software from the KIA sportage and installing it on the Tucson? Thanks in advance.

Your head unit does NOT support wireless AAHi everyone,
Kia Sportage (MY18) with this HU
Model: QLBS.S5ALN.EU
SW : QL_PE.EUR.SOP.014.20.221117.STD_M
FW: QL_PE.EUR.0.5.436.220922.MICOM
8", with navigation and WiFi.
I have already gone through this thread twice (and a lot of other clips on Youtube) but I have not managed to access the Engineering menu. In addition, I have already received three failed attempt warnings from the HU system ( which I don't know if they reset). I want to access this cryptic Engineering mode just to enable (if possible) Wireless AA. I usually don't like to bother but this time I seem to be stuck. Some help , with the correct procedure and the right passwords, would be welcome
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
Gen5W for HKMC root access
Hello guys! I am a bit tired today to explain...

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.
