Weird "KIPOptons" Text Now Showing on Nav Screen

[Panzer948]

Yesterday we noticed some odd text when trying to use the Nav screen. Actually couldn't use it as most buttons would not function properly. The day before I received the improved Android Auto update which works fine, although didn't at first for my wife (hers didn't work until yesterday). I am wondering if this could be related. Any idea what this is and how to fix it?

Start with a soft reset. Press the power button and FWD button for about 10 seconds.

Thanks, will try that shortly. I can't help but wonder if the android update caused this. I say that also because I used Forscan to unlock a couple of goodies more than a year ago. One of them was to allow Nav address searches while driving. Just a thought.

Ug, didn't work. I wonder if I should share this on the Forscan thread.

Sadly, mine still does it although I haven't tried to really do anything about it since you saw my post above. I mostly use Waze so not the end of the world I guess. It does still seem to work but with "Kip" in front of everything.

I didn't know the update allowed you to connect two phones at once. We turned off wireless more than a year ago due to all the confusion and problems it caused with our android phones so only use wired for android auto to control who it connects too. Maybe have to give that a go.

I have this same error and got it at the same time as that Jan update. Master reset didn't do anything. I also used forscan to change things.
