Hi all, I was ignoring / keeping my blinkers on about all these posts about upgrading to get Android Auto in my Kadjar until today.... I dropped my 2016 Kadjar into my local Renault garage as the sat nav / multimedia screen kept crashing.

When I collected the car they said they updated the firmware.... and hey presto I have a newer software with the screen-mirror option in the phone inputs section. That's where my frustration also begins... when I connect my phone with Android Auto via a USB app nothing happens - it just asks to connect to the phone to play media flles. I've tried both USB sockets but same thing,I know Android Auto works from my phone as I had a rental recently and it connected fine via USB.

I've tried everything... I'm guessing they that updated the firmware didn't activate the USB ports... can somebody please tell me how to do this? I've attached pics of the software version etc.

Thanks

Sounds more like wrong settings in the phone regarding USB connection type, but maybe the settings in ddt4all is not completed. Try changing the phone settings first.

HI, Ya, I tried all the various USB connection types - none of them got them screen-mirroring working, I was using the same phone in a rental car a few weeks ago so it's not the phone or cable is the issue. Im dreading going into the settings menu but it's the only option I guess

So, it's my other guess. The Android Auto is probably not activated through ddt4all.

Is debug a option on stock variant, in order to activate AA?

Yes it is. But... on 2.2.x there is no way to activate AA. If you have 3.3.16.x AA and CP are already activated. If you have 3.3.15.x then you can activate AA and CP. AA will work while CP will not due to outdated USB panel in dash. And of course when you upgrade from 2.2.19.300 to 3.3.16.96x/98x

Thanks Robert.
I was actually referring to his upgrade, from 2 to 7 in service. That path (using debug) sounds easier then getting a ELM interface and using DDT4All.
