Help updating Android RSE3 Tablet past 4.4.2

[Fadjskl]

Hey all,

I have just bought an audi that comes with the android tablets for the kids in the back seat. They are running android 4.4.2 and no OTA updates are available to it. Due to its old OS, im having problems getting things like bluetooth controllers and even the play store to work correctly (intermittent downloads stuck on pending forever / stalling).

I have seen other tablets of the same variety running android 7 but cannot find the software anywhere on the internet to update to the custom build for these head units.

Can anyone help me figure out how to make this tablet a little more usable in 2023?

Thanks

Request the matching Android 7+ from OEM.

I have emailed the maker of the device, JET OPTO via their website but they havn't responded.

Does anyone know if rooting and custom rom would work on this - retaining its function with hdmi in etc?

I was thinking, another way around it is to use a ?firestick and miracast a phone?

Hi

Same here. I cant find any info about update. There are some info that ppl have android 7 but no info how to do it. On audiworld someone did it by audi service. Ive made couple phones to service and no1 could tell me how tu update. Ive read somewher that rooting RSE III is very risky, it can freeze, then y can do nothing. In service the told me that they can change my old RSE to newer (silver one) cost is big. I dony want to risk that in couple years problem with update will be thisome. I think best way is to buy normal tablets andro or ios.

I'm looking for the Android 7 update files for an RSEIII currently running on 4.4.2 as well.
