This is how to upgrade the firmware on the
187B revision of the RCD330+.
This will replace Baidu Carlife with Android Auto.
Version 5314 Upgrade:
- Download the firmware (version 5314) and save the .tar file to the root of a USB flash drive
- Plug into the head unit, turn on, and hold down the Setup button until the service menu is showing
- Go into the Software Update option
- Select the software update and follow the on screen instructions to install
- The unit will reboot and may request an anti-theft code - enter 0000 to unlock.
When installing version 5314, if you receive the
variant conflict error then:
- Download the firmware (version 5515) and save the .tar file to the root of a USB flash drive
- Plug into the head unit, turn on, and hold down the Setup button until the service menu is showing
- Go into the Software Update option
- Select the software update and follow the on screen instructions to install
- The unit will reboot and may request an anti-theft code - enter 0000 to unlock
- Now follow the instructions above to install firmware version 5314.

My crngiar RCD330+ 6RD035187B HW: 534 came with firmware 5515 and appears to work fine so far.
Just FYI.

Assuming you're using iOS, does your Siri work correctly? On mine I can't get the voice to come through regardless of what I do. :-\

Downgraded to 5314 and Siri problem solved.
Sorry for not replying sooner.
I have Android Auto with FW 5515 (not car life). MY09 R36
Works pretty much fine except:
Highline camera not compatible so no camera as of yet
Android Auto hangs on a semi-regular basis and I have to reboot (long press of power button). Could be a phone compatibility issue (LG G6+) as at first it wouldn't work at all until I enabled USB debugging.
Callers complain of an echo.
Steering wheel buttons don't work due to incompatible can language. I have the 8-button wheel and red MFD. Newer 12-button wheels and colour MFD apparently work ok.
Fairly often calls answer on handset or speakerphone mode not Bluetooth. Sometimes I can hit the Bluetooth button on the screen and it works, sometimes not.
Otherwise everything else is pretty good. Love google maps and OK Google. Have sideloaded AnyAutoAudio so I can stream SoundCloud and Carstream so I can stream YouTube. Sound quality is good and fade controls work fine.
Just wish I could eliminate the bugs.
Suppose it's ok for just $400. Shame there isn't something just a bit better for under a grand. Anything that seems to work properly is a few thousand bucks.
