After updating to version 9, it is sometimes necessary to enter the hidden menu and explicitly set the “CarPlay” and “AAP” options to “Present” before Android Auto will appear. A soft reset (holding the power button until the screen goes black) is then required. This extra step is well documented in the forums and usually solves the issue.
A safer and more reliable approach is to update in steps. For example, you would generally need to update from 7.x to 8.x, and then from 8.x to 9.x. Jumping directly, like from 7.0 to 9.0, is likely to cause problems. Feature Accessibility Start your engine and keep it
