It looks like this R340G is the same as the 187B discussed here, only with a newer firmware version that includes both Carplay and Android Auto.
Hopefully it will only take a firmware upgrade to our 187B, if the Chinese sellers are willing to share this firmware. It wouldn’t hurt if all of us ask our respective seller for the firmware and share when available.
They are already starting to sell on eBay the updated version for Skoda (see item number 172854258764).
Hopefully the VW version will show up soon.
Does it do it on other cables too? Sounds like cable issue, or you possible have lint build up in the port.
Thanks for the tips on swapping cables. Probably too early to tell, but seems it may have fixed the issue. Surprising as I was using a month old Anker cable - ah well, these things fail I guess. Fingers crossed that this continues to solve the problem.
It can also be that the port itself has gotten loose... you can tighten it up as well: https://quickfever.com/fix-loose-usb-ports
Hmm thats odd. My vagcom cable is not legit but can see the headunit. I was able to disable the rearview camera.
I asked my seller and he says the R340G is different hardware for the Indian market and is not available in China, at least not yet. He also said he is unaware of any firmware update that would bring our unit inline with the 340.
I wonder if the 330 can be updated to this spec.
I'll keep an eye on these units. Some of my friends are having issue with them. I hope someone makes them with a little bit better qualityAnyone interested?
Look what I found on AliExpress
