HU5ES2 Shipment Mode Help

[Faultier]

After finally getting everything working with my head unit, I'm now sitting on the real problem. I wanted to unlock Android Auto and now I have a Panasonic head unit installed. Everything works except navigation via SD card. I found out how to unblock everything on another forum. But every time I unlock the functions they reset. Then I read that I need to put the head unit into shipment mode, but I just can't get into shipment mode. I don't have any buttons on my HU, and all attempts to enter engineering mode were also unsuccessful. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Faultier from what I've read, if you can't enter engineering mode (by pressing left in the car menu) like I can on NTG 5.1, it needs to be unlocked by coding.
I haven't been able to try this as my adapter isn't here yet and I'm not sure if it's exactly the same on 5.2.

In my other head unit I had engineering mode in variant coding in DTS Monaco, but the Panasonic head unit does not have such option.

Is it really enough to have one line in the head unit to enable the engineering menu by coding?

You don't need to enable shipment mode to activate CarPlay and Android Auto.

Can you explain how to activate CarPlay without downgrading software?
I tried several times to write the 05.05 string using the UDS command, but it didn't work.
I just have to flash it every time.

I have also tried several times and as far as I know, you need to do coding and backup. Then you need to reset the settings and play in the backup.

You don't need to do any of this, the feature can be activated by coding.

Ok, I use DTS 9 and Openport, but after setting the coding to 0504...04...19...04 and resetting it still remains off, only the manual I see in the instructions.
So I connect to "HU5ES2" then go to change coding and it shows me the existing code which is what it should be but in the overview all 3 settings still show as "off". I know I'm not the only one who tried and eventually gave up. I assumed that maybe DTS 9 couldn't do this.

It doesn't work for me. Then there must be some trick or routine. Coding alone won't help. I tried many variations, but nothing helped.
