I checked and the mcuupgrade.bin with hex editor and it is exactly the same as the one @Santirx, but the gd_upgrade.bin is a new file that we have never seen before with a creation date of 01/05/2022, 1 minute before the mcuupgrade.bin
this is great. Thanks for sharing the update.

I got this new update from support0888 person that fixes the back button. But I noticed this morning it broke aftermarket reverse camera. So you probably wanna pick the lesser of the evil.

front (aftermarket) camera supported?
does this Isudar Carplay unit support an aftermarket camera?
if yes, has anyone added one? what hardware did you use?

I know Isudar is still working through some bugs with their firmware but I might still pull the trigger soon.
I did notice you can no longer order the Isudar via Amazon only direct & I think aliexpress...

Yeah isudar support a front/back aftermarket camera. I am stilling working out the kinks though. I think any AHD 720p reverse camera should work ok.

Also http://xyingly.com

That is a storefront for Isudar and you can actually specify if you want v1.2 or v2.0 of the board…

The Chinese new year is coming soon so I would not order from the Warehouse in China... I would probably go Poland for now. (why do they have a warehouse in Poland? I guess I don't know about EU enough...)

* does it matter if you have Sirius/XM radio?
(If my memory is correct, that was a thing with researching the Joyceauto & you had to request needed some longer screws during your order)

* how long did it take to receive your order once purchased?
(& does it matter from China or Poland?)

(I am trying to time receiving mine close to my planned install date / if it matters I'm in San Diego)

I ordered a second kit, 2.0 board on 1/11/22. I received it today 1/24/22.
All the screws on my first kit, 2.0 board, included all the screws needed to install into a PCM with XM/Sirius.

I just wanna report that my reverse camera was fixed by resetting the fuse. So people that previously wasn't able to upgrade because of the greyed out button can upgrade with the new mucupgrade.bin and gd_upgrade.bin together on the usb.

Default Android 12

I can update my phone to Android 12. Can somebody confirm that the Isudar board is working with Android 12?

This update makes the Isudar PCM3.1 platform almost perfect (4.5 stars in my view). A few lingering issues remain, that are less intrusive:

1. Calls going on-hold when pressing the steering wheel phone button (this behavior observed when phone is paired with PCM)
2. Connection time after turning car off
Does the MCU firmware completely deactivate the steering wheel return button? I liked how the return button would at least bring the interface back from Spotify to All Apps or from Waze back to the main menu for selecting Spotify etc.

Yes it does. If you like the steering wheel return button behavior as is, do not update.

For me, having that steering wheel return button control both MFD and CarPlay at the same time was very annoying and disruptive. And it wasn’t an OEM behavior. I’m glad I did the update.

Just so you know, the PCM return button still works.

So now the question is, how do we (on the old board, 1124 firmware) get our hands on the new firmware... I emailed Kimi but she's referring to having to ask the engineers
