All you can do is keep working through the steps as explained by Craig. I already tried 4 times with no luck I think the only way is to get a new unit if I don’t sort this out. By the way which clicking noise are you talking about?Wasn't it you that was having the Apple music clicking noise?

I updated the unit to the latest software and now I have no sound when I plug any usb or bluetooth device. The u it displays song name and everything but no sound.

Cartronics TL-01, DM-01, AD-01, FS-02 & GD-03 v2.05.05 Firmware (Aug 28, 2018)
One last thought...try downloading another copy of the file and start fresh. If update is done correctly the phone and everything else should be wiped from the stereo requiring you to re-sync phone and retune radio stations.

No radio stations. or any bluetooth devices were stored. Okay, I will try again!

Okay, I will try again!I can only assume something has gone wrong in the update process, there are reports on the web and here of some having clock reset issues though I've not read any reports of the no sound issue you described, just seems strange how I have the same upgraded GD-03 unit and don't see any of the issues others are reporting though I dd cut the reverse wire and haven't connected the AUX port, only the USB port is connected for myself.
I wonder if you could try contacting Cartronics and describe your problem with the new update file and ask if they would be kind enough to send the previous file to you support@cartronics.net.au
Also my unit is on 2.04.07 firmware, is it wise to keep it as it is? And wait until a new update will be released
Hello AllSome further updates having had the upgrade in for 2 weeks with the latest firmware.1) The firmware is not causing me issues but I also have a cut reverse cable so the unit will not pick up reverse2) Gosh the whole combo is buggy ( iPhone 7 or 6s, cable, ioS12/.01 and GD-03 Head and whatever car play app you run ).EG a) Waze talks and AM band audio is turned down automatically, on waze being done, AM audio is like you are 100KM form the transmitter - full of static. You need to power off the radio and all fine then. FM doesn't seem to have the issue. b) Random disconnects - seems helped greatly if you shut down ( swipe away ) all the other background apps that may be running on the iPhone. Various cables make no change c) Once ( in only two weeks ) after about 30 seconds of starting and maps talking fine the audio became a loud screech on any input, like audio feedback - USB, Bluetooth etc and thence to silence. Disconnecting phone and power cycling radio no change. After the car was turned off though it went back to normal d) Siri works about 50% better understanding what you said if the iPhone is on speaker phone rather than via the voice button on the unitI would have been happy to say cartronics is crap at software but a friend with a VW Polo has constant issues too ( not sure of manufacturer of head unit ) and as above, there are so many places for bugs from phone to car. I would be curious what everyone else finds, especially those with an original factory fit. I still enjoyed the fun of having done the job but some of the gloss is gone. If I had paid more than $200 from a wrecker I wouldn't be amused. Maybe I understand why the likes of Toyota and Mazda have been slow to release apple car play. In OZ law you need to get what you paid for and if the bloody thing crashes every second trip it would be a grey area if carplay meets that test. Does capplay do what you paid for in the advertisements?Hopefully over the next year of so the bugs get ironed out but carplay isn't exactly new!
Thanks so much for all the helpful information here.I was having some issues with my third party Android head unit so thought I would give the GD-03 a go.Managed to get one to the UK from Australia and fitted it this morning before work. I got the new HU, Aux unit, and USB cable all fitted with a snipped and taped A9 cable, firmware updated from 2.0 to 2.05.05 (I couldn't find the 2.04.x firmware anywhere) all in just over an hour and everything seems to be working well Thanks again,LP
It is buggy at times, where as it won't change audio volume at time's unless the voice command is pressed then cancelled. Also the skip song button sometimes stops working on the steering wheel. Other than that great. I do also have a usb hub so I have my usb stick and phone plugged in at the same time

Based on what you just said, Craig, perhaps the background volume the unit is getting is so high that it's heard as speech.
I know it's not the point of the GD-03, but my word the radio functionality is the most basic I've seen in forever. Doesn't even read the RDS info like channel names.
Weird, on reading it looks like RDS features didn't take off much in Australia. Things like automatic frequency switching, traffic announcements, channel names, all useful!It was even on the Bobby basic radio that my i30 came with.
CONFIRMED. I GOT AUX TO WORK, at least in the american elantra gt - non sat/nav. This should theoretically work for the i30 as well. I acquired the extension cable from a santa fe to the usb dock, that I assume runs to a lower point on the console. Part #961202W500. Removing the female end connector I was able to connect the cable and its 8 wires to the needed connections with the existing 16pin connector via t-tap connectors, and connected the male end to the 96120A5100 usb aux connection. Amazon.com: Ginsco 120 Pcs/60 Pairs Quick Splice Wire Terminals T-Tap Self-stripping with Nylon Fully Insulated Male Quick Disconnects Kit: Home Improvement. This allows me to remove the HD-03 in the event that I want to add back the stock radio and without directly cutting the 16pin harness. Just matched up the connections from the new to the old. It only works if you have the USB, as it provides power for the aux connection.
