DIY Carplay/Android Auto Carsara Install and Setup Tips

Hmmm, I also have persistent "car on lift" image when opening the drivers door. No codes from scanner. I assumed it was due to extensive VO code changes for my racing seats. (To disable seat airbags and adjustments.)
Didn't know the BC button would show a code. Also got the increased battery discharge warnings.
Having CarPlay working is more important than any minor inconveniences.

Yeah, you can use the "Check Control" function to sometimes see the codes via the turn signal lever.

I presume it's from the Carplay unit, but I'm not 100% sure. I asked my indy to look at it earlier this year and they couldn't find any codes or trace it to anything else, though not sure how hard they really looked. Their opinion was that it had to do with the Carsara unit also.

RSE_3
rse_mid_rueko

Instead of this:
CDMM_AUX_HU
aktiv

CDMM_USB_AUDIO_SINGLE
nicht_aktiv

CDMM_USB_AUDIO_DOUBLE_0B
nicht_aktiv

(you'll want to change those three back to how they were, or default/factory code the CIC first)

(not my photo)

Is the RSE_3 parameter in the CIC module? Where do you find this one?

EDIT/UPDATE: Found it, and the CDMM parameters too, in the CIC module. Used NCS Expert to activate both AUX front and rear and now I have AUX audio working via the quad lock. Sounds so much better than AUX via 3.5mm plug. Thanks for this!

Recently bought Carsara MMI, but I have some major issues with it.
First is I can not adjust it to use car`s bluetooth instead of AA. Option "Use the original Bluetooth phone" from factory mode menu is on, but it keeps using AA for phone calls. It is stupid, because if I listen to radio or USB and my phone rings, I have to jump to AUX to make conversation.
Second is steering buttons for next/previous song does not change Spotify songs it just behaves like up/down cursor.
It is non quad lock version, only jumper 5 is on as seller suggested. You can see FW version and options in service menu in attachment.

I`m on the way to trow this garbage out of my car, so any help will be appreciated!

P.S My factory mode code is 0301

I can't seem to get the firmware update page on carsaras site to load. Does anyone have the newest firmware file? Hardware version is in the attached picture. I have the version from 2021 with quadlock audio
