    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

2017/2018 radio swap in 2016 ultimate?

I'm having the same problem in Parallels and vmWare Fusion. It's looking for hardware that isn't there. I think we may need to test with the head unit itself? Have you tried cloning the drive to another SSD and see if the copy boots the headunit?

Maybe someone can install a SATA extension cable from their head unit to the glove box for testing purposes. So they don't have to tear up their dash everytime they want to test the changes.

I'm actually in the process of getting a SATA extension. The cloned drive boots in the 2018 headunit without issue.

That's excellent! I think the easiest hack to implement for now is increasing the jukebox storage for those that want it. It should be as easy as cloning it to a bigger drive and increasing the partition size. Typically Linux doesn't care, it should see the space and use it unless there's a limit hard coded somewhere in the software. I'll see if I can bump it up for a 512gb SSD, image it and have everyone test it. I don't have my car taken apart right now... lol

I'm looking for a 2015 head unit I can setup on my desk for testing.

Maybe we should setup a github to track changes?
 
Found this thread from 2015, the OP managed to gain SSH access via the USB port. Might help, might not... who knows? Could come in handy for modifying files on the fly without removing the SSD and plugging it into a PC. The root password according to the OP is "meego"

Also, XDA has a forum for this kind of thing but nothing regarding the Genesis. There may be some useful information there.

So I order a SATA extension... And I receive a burlap table cloth. Burlap! It's not even remotely aesthetic with white snowflakes on it.
 
Talk about taking one for the team

Has to be true - can't make that sh!t up....!
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
Any updates on the burlap table cloth? lol

I haven't had a chance to play around with the partition sizes. I don't have a spare 512gb SSD to play around with at the moment and I'm having storage issues with my home servers. Had 2 drives fail and borked one of my arrays. Lost 20 years worth of MP3's. Busy restructuring the rest of my drives for RAID6 right now. :(
 
Haven’t pulled my radio out yet. Been too cold.

I got the correct extension last week though.
 
Does anyone know what the hardware specs are (i.e. CPU, RAM) underneath the smaller 8" and larger 9.2" units? This is just hypothetical, but let's say both of them use the same type of CPU, then I'd be inclined to think the limitations are with the software and firmware.
They are different

20 yrs worth! That sucks!

I know it was freakin' chilly in NOLA when we went on Thursday - weekend got OK though.

Ugh, that's painful Super. That's my worst nightmare. 😱 I run RAID6 on my NAS in hopes that no more than two ever bite-it simultaneously. Have had one go several times and even then the rebuild takes up to a week. Best of luck getting it rebuilt.

At least you don't need 4.5TB of data out of AWS Glacier within a 3 hour window :P

You're right Sub, glad I don't lol. I'd guess you have sufficient bandwidth to make that happen, but what does Amazon charge to open the pipe that wide?

I do need to get another offsite backup since CrashPlan went away in '17. Curious what you'd recommend for ~45TB of mostly media files - does Amazon have reasonable pricing?

Yeah, it's a hassle. I had the foresight to have everything uploaded to Google Play Music but pulling it back down is time consuming. Reorganizing them is going to suck since Google doesn't keep my folder structure.

Only use S3 Glacier for that much data. You're still looking at $4/TB per month, though, and you want to do any restores very slowly (S3 Glacier charges by capacity/hr for each month). S3 itself (or S3 IA) are quite expensive for that much storage, although retrieval is much easier.

That 3 hour retrieval (actual time was around 5 hours I think) cost someone ~$9800.

Thanks, I'll take a look at Amazon's S3 offerings and see what makes sense. It's the insurance that I hope to never use lol.

$10K for 5 hours, shazam! But for critical business data, fully understandable. The lesson is to never need your data back THAT quickly.
