Hi all,
I've just purchased a new car and I'm consdering a new head unit as it didn't come with GPS. I've looked on ebay and seen the following which would give me an OEM look:
(Can't post a link, search for Android 4.0 peugeot 308 on ebay.co.uk, its £359 and sold by etradeone2010)
Can anyone identify the actual model? Is it known and rooted?

Has anyone used this product? It is listed here: http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=124313 I have googled this model number but cannot find a single refrence to it anywhere else on the web and I can't find any posts here on this site refrencing it. I want a hard wired car kit like this (not bluetooth) but don't want to buy this one if it doesn't work right. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I am looking for a replacement for the backup battery of my Qtek 9090, which was drained by the previous owner (left it in a drawer for several months without main battery on) and doesn't hold the charge anymore.
I have the following link, but it is out of stock. Any help is appreciated.

BTW, first post, so hi to everybody in the forum.
Regards,
I have been told that the V18 HRT is the backup battery for my BA. If I used a V20 HR, which apparently has the same characteristics, only a slightly higher mAh, would it be the same?
ebay it
There's like a billion on ebay.
Put this in the search:
(xda iis, m2000, mda iii, xda 2s, mda 3, sx66, pda2k) battery
Actually, that search only gave me MAIN batteries, but not the Varta buttons. Can you give me a direct link to one of the auctions you mentioned? There is also the chance that they are only selling to the US and the system is automatically deleting them from the search.
My bad, missed the 'backup' part of your original question. Try this;

Thank you!

I still have some left.

I guarantee that they are brand new and directly bought from Varta Germany Aug. 2009 (I only request battery cost and shipping in the hopes to help out some proud Qtek9090 owners.) They are hard to come by.
Unfortunately I am not allowed to post links since I am too new of a user.

I once asked about a similar port on the back of my old VN250 dumbphone over on the SparkFun IRC channel at freenode, I recall them mentioning something about it being there so manufacturers could easily write an image to a large number of devices. Is that true? If so/not could this be used to facilitate hacking the device?
I might be able to hack up a connector if I knew what kind of jack that was.
post the link by replacing the : witha a - i couldnt find the pic you talked about
sure thing

Google it.
I am almost certain that this is a "u.fl" interface. If you look on a Wireless NIC you will see the same connector. This connector is for a wireless antenna. You could try connecting an antenna to It. I have one and will tell you the results.
Its for connecting an external antenna, many phones have this somewhere but its usually hard to find and easy to damage if you mess around with it.

Does anyone know which android stick or box supports switching to "portrait" mode?
I already bought an MK802IIIS and found out it doesn't support portrait mode
The MK809IV just got a software update to do this. It has annoyed some as now (without a fix-orientation app) some apps switch to portrait automatically.

Cool I just found that one here:
http://dealsprime.com/mk809iv-quad-...-8gb-hdmi-wifi-bt-rk3188-tv-stick-dongle.html
I really appreciate the info - I just have one last question - where can I get this update and instructions on how to flash it?
Thanks again!

There are two version of the hardware and the update is only for the newer one for now (201307* and up) but that should be what you get.
The download includes instructions.

So it appears you are saying that I can flash the firmware for the MK802IV into the MK809IV? Which would mean that the two are hardware identical, just sold by two different companies. So, could I just as easily buy a MK802IV and it will also have "portrait" mode with this update?
But, how can I be sure that the unit I purchase has a s/n higher then 201307?
Arse! Sorry, my bad - I meant an MK802IV - I hate these similar and yet so different model numbers. I am not sure if the 809 is compatible with the 802.

That said, reading the hardware spec they sound identical. The comment on the MK802IV forum is "MK802IV with AP6210 Chipset (S/N start from July) ...." so the chipsets look identical.
What did you mean by "The comment on the MK802IV forum is "MK802IV with AP6210 Chipset (S/N start from July) ...." so the chipsets look identical. "? Are you saying that I can/should use the MK802IV?
The 809 has only like two places its being sold and seem to ship from China.
But the MK802IV is being sold by many sourcse on Amazon.com for immediate delivery, but how would I know which ones have the latest hardware of 201307 and higher?

I am in the UK so can't help with sourcing it, but I would suggest it may be a lucky dip - however given the volumes it is less and less likely as time moves on that the older chipset is still in the channel.
I made a point of selecting a slightly more expensive amazon.co.uk marketplace seller who claimed to (and did) ship from the UK when I bought mine, just in case there were issues. If you can find a local shipper you may also be able to get a sensible answer re which serial numbers they stock before you place your order.
Good luck and apologies for the mistake earlier in model numbers.
Hi,
I got the MK802IV and installed the latest update and it works great in portrait mode.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I am using MK809IV plug pc, in dire need of portrait representation. Can you please explain how have you achieved the same? The download link for custom ROM does not seen to work anymore. Can you please help ?
I have purchased a HICES Android Car/DVD unit for my Camaro. Being on that forum, which I won't mention, has helped a lot with some of the fitment issues we (maybe about a half dozen of us have purchased from word of thread). The company actually sells many different unit for different vehicles. We have been in direct contact with the representative of the company and he has quickly (within 2 months) corrected the fitment issues so this unit should now literally be plug and play.
Earlier versions were 2.3.4 and he has now upgraded newer units to 4.0.3 and upgraded us who purchased prior to the upgrade. Customer service wise he has been great. Also, since I had to download the upgrade, I know have those files saved to a MicroSD.
I have searched these forums for HICES, etc. however all I seem to pull up are the other Chinese branded units. There is one issue with this unit which I was hoping someone on here might actually have a suggestion. Is it possible that in the hardware for a "tablet" there is no microphone? These units only lack a way to communicate through BT. In doing the upgrade to 4.0.3 it has lost its ability to communicate through BT using the dongle provided. In the Camaro the bluetooth mechanism is located in the stock headunit, which obviously causes a problem when you remove it to replace it with this.
Because of the communication with the company rep our best bet may be to stick with letting them get this figured out, but I was hoping someone on here may have one and just not posted about it. I would really like to see what this is capable of.
Sorry I can't post outside links, but searching Google for HICES Android will pull up the website.
When I am allowed, I will post the website to the forum where there are more pictures and video of the unit, it just comes down to none of us being knowledgeable with android.
Thanks for any support
Brian
Somebody here suggested that the HICES Deckless head unit is based on the AN-21u. There's a hardware hacking thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610926)
Some people have added an external hardware microphone, but nobody has checked AFAIK that they board is the same. Maybe you'd be willing to remove your unit and open it up. The thread I linked above shows what you'd need to look for.
