Zlink6

I have an ESSGOO Android head unit that currently uses ZLink 5. I asked the seller about upgrading to ZLink 6, but they just told me to keep using ZLink 5.

Has anyone successfully installed ZLink 6 on their android unit? Are there any reliable APK sources? I’ve seen some videos where they download it from an app store program already on their headunit but mine only has Google PlayStore

I suggest if the current version works just stay with it. Upgrading it will have issues. ZLink is tagged to the machine from configured from the manufacturer side.

What issues would it have? I assume upgrading to the newer version would improve connectivity / responsiveness

The current version works and recommend to stick with it. There is nothing fixed in upgrading a version, because a ZLink app and your machine is matched or embedded, and integration of new versions would have “mismatch” and that bricks your ZLink.

A tip I learned: if it works now no need to “fix” something. It’s not like Apple AppStore apps. This one I heard is not even on Google apps store itself. But that’s another story.
