  1. Gamith is correct - there is (in one for the settings menus) an option that is set to 'on' for the SatNav: I had this same issue myself and found it after a search. The settings button is the top LH one. If you have an Android phone use Google Translate to look through the options - if I get a chance I'll look at mine tomorrow
  2. Hi, So, that looks identical to the head unit in my 2014 Hybrid - does yours have the 18 speaker sound system as well? If it has, I am (as sure as I can be) that you don't need the MOST adapter in the second picture (more for the OP's info than you Hardi) - that's for alternated HU's that don't have the MOST control built in (i.e. an Android HU). From another thread on here on no sound issues, I think the top connector next to the one labelled FM 75 ohm with the 4 round co-ax type is the MOST audio bus that connects the amplifier and the rear screen sound - this is a loop system so if there are any breaks in it the audio doesn't work. Sorry no idea on the steering wheel controls, but I may have in a few weeks when my Android HU arrives with all the cables....
  3. Hi All, Also interested in getting hold of the official hybrid service/workshop manual if someone can point me in the right direction? Very please so far (only two weeks of ownership) but there are things I want to improve / change over time where such as the wiring schematic will be needed.
  4. It looks like the HU Ombak has is a Mekede Tech model - probably a DUDU 6 or 7. Mekede also own a software development company so are usually ahead of the game for updates etc. This is the brand I've been looking at as they advertise it covers the original HU functions, so ordered the 10.36 inch model from their UK Amazon store (for less that it cost to buy from AliExpress....) they contacted me and offered a better 11" unit C/W with fascia and real buttons/knobs, but it turned out to be nearly twice the price (@£1079), so will re-order the one for £569 (which is the same size as Ombak's), and order the correct fascia from AliExpress (circa £24). Note: (only) if you have the 18 speaker sound system you will also need a combined MOST and CANBUS adapter which range from £90 to £120 from AliExpress. The DUDU7 models have a USB C port on the back which can feed an external display/touch panel - plan is to feed the roof monitor via this: will see how that goes.
  5. Hi Ombak, Was your Android HU already a 360 camera version or did you need load an app to get the 360 camera function to work? - just bought a 2014 Alphard with the factory 360 camera and the 18 speaker system and am researching Android HU options 🙂
