The promise is almost there... but
The new sound feature of DTS SRS and Dolby Atmos DSP presets for RSNAV S5 Pro/Ultimate is developed and tested ready on the bench. Yes, it's working fine.
However, we are ironing some optimization after implementing new G-meter app causing heavy system loads, and fixing other bugs including some users reported.(i.e. OEM reverse view put CarPlay background after finishing, Custom steering key * assignment, and some battery draining issue in certain MCU), and that is taking longer than expected. (Plus, Daniel's A7, the main test bed of RSNAV S5 is missing some parts...) This will take about 15 days more. It's mostly because of the delay in export controls by Chinese Government for some parts required to validate the software update and fixes thoroughly.
So, the updates will be released sometime in February, 2026.
Once this wraps up, we are making followings.
In early half of 2026, there will be an additional module for RSNAV S5 Pro and ultimate to deliver the digital sound stream directly to 3G MMI High, High Plus, MIB factory amp system with MOST technology using the existing SPDIF output of current S5 Pro Ultimate systems.
In the rest of 2026, RSNAV will make its Virtual Cockpit Speedometer for C7, C7.5, D4 that retains all factory speedometer display features(error/fault messages), Night Vision capability for the cars with factory night vision system, CarPlay, Android Auto. The initial contract batch is set to be only 100 units. Engineered personally by me, RSNAV's Daniel KIM, it will be exclusively offered in RSNAV.com only.
For B8,B8.5 it will be developed if and only if the trial run of 100 units are deemed successful.
As we have done so, we will take reservations on these clusters only and if only the final candidate product is ready to be shown in public. ETA is fall-winter 2026.
Thanks.

Now supporting wide-screen S5 Pro/Ultimate models with even more improved 3D tracking mode with extreme customization.
MCU update is mandatory for this app to work. Otherwise, app won't display correctly.
the installation method is the same as below, but for wide screens, the MCU file is mcuUpdate_AD6680_05.mce.
Zip file with APK and MCU file, rename APK.1 to APK
The zip file link may not work due to G-Drive policy. If that is the case, then you have to download MCU update and APK separately in following links.

New feature! 3D tracking mode. Based on your car movement and positioning data, a 3D model car mimics your car movement in a virtual reality plain as seen in sci-fi movies such as TRON. If you toggle the view, G-sensor appears for hard racers.
In version 1, we are releasing it only for 9" C7 devices as the wide screen version(8.9, 10.25, 12.3) has app display cut. Our team is on the work and should be ready soon for them as well.
MCU update is mandatory for this app to work. Otherwise, app won't display correctly.
Place the MCU file(mcuUpdate_AD6680_03.mce) into a USB drive under /update/mcuUpdate/ folder and run MCU update from version information screen.
Copy APK file(must be renamed to APK if there is .1 in the file extension) to a USB drive, and install it on the RSNAV device's file explorer app.
You will need to authorize the file explorer app to install an APK app.
There will be security warning, but it is safe. Click more, and choose 'install anyway'. After that, there will be a prompt asking if Play Protect should scan it or not. Either option doesn't matter except, Don't install it. It will pass the play protect scan as it is no harm.
Run Carinfo app and play with it and give up feedback to info@rsnav.com

New G-meter apps for RSNAV S5 Pro and Ultimate
2025.11.28
Hello everyone,
This is Daniel Kim from RSNAV.
First, I would like to offer my sincere apologies for the lack of communication over the past several months. I fell quite ill last spring, but I am happy to share that I am recovering well and feeling much better now.
During my recovery, while confined to my bed, I spent my time developing a new application. It is the G-Meter app that I had previously promised you.
This application operates by directly reading the Audi RAW CAN BUS data. As you can see, it displays a comprehensive set of real-time metrics, including: Realtime Warning indicators, Speed, RPM, Gear, Fuel Level, Voltage, Odometer, a 0-100km/h Timer, 0-100km/h average G recorder, G-Meter, Coolant Temperature, Oil Temperature, Intake Air Temperature, Yaw Rate, Dynamic Pitch, Accelerator Pedal position, Battery Charge, and Engine Oil Level.
Since all data is sourced directly from the vehicle's CAN BUS, no additional hardware is required. This ensures an incredibly fast response time—significantly faster than standard OBD II connections.
While the UI is not yet fully polished, I plan to improve it gradually over time. Currently, the app has only been tested on my personal vehicle, a 2012 Audi A7 (C7). While I anticipate it should function correctly on other MLB platform vehicles, I cannot guarantee it just yet.
This started as a personal passion project, and I am offering it as a gift to you, my fellow Audi enthusiasts. To use this app, you will currently need an RSNAV S5 Pro or Ultimate Android unit. Unfortunately, support for the RSNAV Standard model is not available at this time.
Please bear in mind that this is still in the Alpha stage and has only been tested on one vehicle, so unforeseen issues may arise. I warmly welcome your feedback. However, rest assured that this app poses no risk to your vehicle’s driving performance or safety.
I plan to share a demonstration video showing the app running in a real vehicle by tomorrow. Following that, I will release the necessary MCU update and the APK file for experimental testing within the next few days.
I wish peace and well-being to all your homes. I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, and customers for their unwavering support. I also give thanks to God for giving me another chance.
I hope you all have a healthy and happy 2026!
Warm regards,
Daniel Kim
Owner, RSNAV

To Our Valued Customers and Community,
We want to provide clarity on our production and shipping timelines. Our products are customized and produced in small batches. This production model means that our orders are fulfilled when the factory has capacity between larger orders from other clients. While this can sometimes lead to delays, it is the nature of our specialized process.
Our CEO is currently working on a limited schedule to manage transactions and escalated cases while recovering from a serious health condition he experienced this spring. We are pleased to report that he is making a good recovery, and his reduced workload is a necessary part of managing his health and stress levels.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support, especially during a time of global economic uncertainty and tariff-related challenges. We remain committed to providing you with high-quality products and service.
Sincerely,
The RSNAV Team
