I got 2018 Media Nav I just activated my CP . I’m grateful for this video as I have been struck even thinking of buying a New Radio with CarPlay. All the was from South Africa ❤
You are just absolutely great. Thanks so much, I had the exact same MediaNav Evo with 1.0.15.3 and everything went great, now I can use CarPlay on my Clio. THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much I wish I had seen this before my wife got a second screen for £100. Well I suppose I can use that for the kids to watch movies in the back now lol Thank you again.
You have to plug your phone with USB cable in and then you will set up Android Auto. I just did mine and I had no Icon .....after I connected my phone icon was bottom right...Android Auto. I am so super happy now THX

You cannot get apple play on an media evolution 2, has to be a three, which is mid 2018 onwards on the date of the actual radio system. Evolution 2 does not allow higher than 9.1 software so the option of carplay will never be there. So the media nav in this video is MN3
Thats very helpful, just got a Renault Trafic which should have AA and CP but not there. Software all updated to 9.1 hence my unit must be a Evolution 2. I will stop wasting time and just continue using google maps on the phone.🙂

It has not got the option for AA or CP in there unless it’s a mark 3. You can’t buy a media evolution 2 and then go inside and just turn it because the option isn’t there, that’s why people went out and brought new ones, for the higher software. The one in your video is evolution mn3, that’s what why you have option of AA and CP and the fact you’ve got 1.0.15 software, an evolution 2 does not allow this software

What the guy who made this video didn’t seem to realise was the dealer was almost correct… most cars made in 2018 had the media nav evolution 1 hardware (mn2) which is a windows based head unit and has software updates going up until 9.x.x. Some cars made later in the year featured the media nav evolution 2 (mn3). Despite the software looking the same it’s completely different. It’s running Linux not windows, and has a much better screen and microphone. Furthermore it supports android auto and Apple CarPlay. If you can find a seller online though the units are just plug and play so you can easily swap a newer unit in without needing a dealer to fit it
Hi! I think that the codes are 2383 and 3748, and the file name should be "mcmtest_activate_4medianav", unfortunately I personally did not find android auto from the Micom settings on my medianav evolution (2nd gen Duster, but from the first half of 2018) :-/
