misunderstood, it's only about the graphic display, the firmware on the device is fully compatible with the 0480. only the optical display is from the 0516

Hi Everyone.
I have 5QA035824 part number Unit with 0462 firmware version. I am gonna update this to 0479 or 0480. Which one will be better? Is it safe to try with 0516 version (I red that 04xx version should stay at 04xx?)
Many thanks for all advices

No it's not safe to change to 516 that's a train jump. If you used a mib2 toolbox thingy some experience round here but technical you can train jump but not on a straight SD card update. It can brick the unit.

480 would be the later one to 479 so unless people say 480 didn't achieve what it was suppose to do. Within trains bug fixes were put in. Basically there was a train each year in its 5 year period of mib2 standard. So the bug fixes are within train.

Tiles / Grid view came in which is the one why people get agitated to have and try to jump trains. 5xx and 4xx series allows you to have tiles / grid view, a toggle. It's a traditional tablet view of the screen.

Thanks a lot. I will try with 479 first and check if it helps to fix issues with android auto usb dongle. I have third different usb dongle device (xuda now) and still the same issue with stop connecting after few weeks of working. So I tried with different devices and different smartphones and still without success. The last thing that may helps is to lift up seat firmware version I think. When we talk about grid/tiles view it doesn't matter to me that much 😉

you really expect an OEM firmware update to make a third-party product work better, which pretends to the OEM system something it isn't...

Does the Android auto stay connected if you plug the phone in with a USB cable ?

Yes, it works fine with usb cable. Problem is only when I am using usb dongles - the same for every device that I had: works brilliant for couple of weeks and suddenly stops with "connection failed" message. I tried with different usb devices and phones, updated devices and phones, changed many options in AA application, bluetooth and wifi configuration. So the last chance is to update firmware. I really don't know if it will helps but this is the only and last thing that I can do. If it will failed I will give up and stay with cable connect AA which is not comfortable for me.

If there is no issue with a cable connection - then logic says it must be an issue with the wireless dongles you have tried.
The cable connection working clearly demonstrates that the USB in the car is working correctly.
No amount of software updates is going to change that fact.
