Yeh. Keep trying older version until reach one that you can use.
https://shopee.com.my/Carlinkit-Wireless-Ca...76-e55d99ab1b41

I bought this one. Wired. The box firmware can update so considered original? Because imitation can't upgrade. Will brick the device.
You can opt for the wireless one. But I feel wired is better and cheaper.

1. You still need to plug in to charge unless using wireless charger.
2. Wired more stable connection?

Hmm.. Then change to another direction?
Musicolet from phone > Android auto (Headunit Reloaded) > Then run based on the songs from your phone?
USB connection sound is already quite good for X50 compared to bluetooth. Should be on par with native streaming.

It's quite weird because the USB is already mounted. Why the music players can't read the USB device.. Those like ES is able to read.

I think I will only stick to Android Auto / Carplay and not using the native HU to run any apps.
Keep that as cool as possible, minimum CPU usage. Last as long as I'm able to have this car service me.

i actually wanna try to use music player play music from USB stick directly without using HU shitty bluetooth protocol.\
because if straight using phone i can direct use musicolet, just it still go through HU shitty codec and EQ (even you custom flat 0)
so i plan to use musicolet codec and eq bypass HU totally.
i wont really use android auto because me most of the time buy huawei phone, and it get rekt-ed no android auto.

Guys, it's up in github.
Feel free to test and let me know if anything's unclear.
I'm bad at writing guides and documentations...

https://github.com/xeon1989/Proton-X50-APK-Installer

Oh ya, please be extra careful when you install APK from unknown source.
During the test, VirusTotal is reporting suspected malware in ES File Explorer I got from Russian group, so better download from trusted and known site.

Actually my SA proposed Ala Carte to me, er... more like he force the Ala Carte on me using the popular phrase of "it was installed from factory"

But I don't really mind that since I get to get rid of all those other unnecessary item.

I think it really depend on outlet and SA, mine were from Lesydear.

I heard about the urban package, but I didnโ€™t intend want to add on at first. You are lucky when sa offered you aka carte, I even heard some sa forced customer to add on

It will, there is no dependencies between apps after install.
It just that later if you need more apps, you have to do it again.

Uninstal script only remove /data/app/es/es.apk.
You need to uninstall it first from App List, before running the script.

Quick feedback here.

Tested and it is working.
Thanks very much ๐Ÿ™.
I will upload more details later.

Just followed the instructions given.
Copy everything needed in the usb drive that prepared and plug into X50 USB port.

A screen will popup asking if the USB is music or video media, just be patience there and wait for it to reboot.

Edited:
Took around 15mins to install my apks showing in the pictures before it start to reboot.
Best is that you opening the app manager (the left icon next proton icon at the bottom centre of the screen) to observe the installation progress.

To install in batch, what I did is copy all the apk files into data folder that created and do the necessary permissions.

<Below only for those who understand the script syntax. >
Then use "pm install -rtdg --user 0 (replaced with your folder location)/Netflix.apk".

Yeah u safe your rm350 or rm500 than buy from that seller.

It's created since myself and LaiN87 need to have it, so I'm glad enough if it works for u all too.
Please buy a coffee for whoever need coffee than me.

Also, I feel myself not much different than that fb guy if I take your coffee..

muncheno mentioned about the batch installation, I might take some time look into it when I got myself free time.

SA can promise anything until his company warranty PiC say NO.

Actually got keyword here:
Will 'help' you settle
But also, they have right to void you....

Yes, you can rename Waze to ES.apk,
For the ES explorer, you could also use other file explorer as long as it supports android 5.1.

Our head unit still running on ndroid 5.1 which no longer supported or recommended by Google.
So everything software have to be old enough to run on the new car... Haha.. ๐Ÿ˜…

My plan was trying the Rm200 option but hold back because I have concerned on coming OTA update from ACO Tech.

Eventhough typically hopeless from ACO empty promises, I tot to wait longer to get more information.

And if it is really released then I would still have doubts now for the older HU, running on Android 10 definitely will use more resources and I think they probably written for new CPU (purely my guess).

So luckily, thanks to xeon1989, he released the actual scripts. Which I understand now how the system will work.

Installation was easy. But due to cpu built in, he installation of other apps takes very long time.

Disney hotstar doesn't work because it needs google services.

Need to survey a compatible google map apk as i prefer it to waze.
YouTube also need to find an older version.
BBC iplayer also need to find the right version so my unifi account works
