Corolla Grande 2016/17 Android infotainment change

mgalaxy3 (MGalaxy Z) 2021-12-31 16:41:59 +0500 #1

Grande 16/17 pre-FL has a useless Android infotainment panel. Maps don't work. Neither browser. Or any app. Insanely outdated version of Android too.

Looks like there's no update available.

What's the best option, try to find an update if available from dealership?
Or
Get a different Android panel that's updated.

If so
Which is the best panel for Grande that works flawlessly with the steering buttons
And
Camera
And all the things basically without wiring changes.

Any suggestions.

Cc @dms664 @autophile or any others with experience.

You can check with dealership and the vendor who supplied these units if there an update for it. I kept Grande from 2016-17 and do not remember if any update for its hu came.

You cannot do anything with it. Either live with it or replace it. It can't be updated.

Pioneer works best, but it will easily cost you 100k.
If you're in Lahore go to sound works liberty.

Just replace it with aftermarket android panel. Lots of panels available in market.

hardware is outdated and nothing can be upgraded - maps - youtube etc
just get any decent chinese HU which has some warranty with it
