J1 and J2 connects following signals:

Canbus H and L and Linbus Signal plus permanent 12v

Analog audio output to IAM

Analog microphone input

J5 - digital LVDS video out

J4 - digital LVDS video input from IAM - inside the SCT there is a switch DS10CP152 which allows to switch the signal from IAM to ICM or from SCT to ICM

The GPS antenna which the SCT uses was previously (from 2006) used for Volvo On Call Tracker and it is probably just the antenna (price is 39 USD).

Theoretically it is possible to connect instead of this antenna to original GPS antenna on the roof.

See the step 69: for the connector location(xc60 but similar on others):

Installed the ADW launcher too. Great! How to go to the ACU home? How do you search music on the HD?

Many thanks to Donaldta for the tip of LCD density modder. Now Torque works like a charm !!! Will make a new video. For now a static screenshot attached

I have a much finer resolution now. Better for most apps.
[Connected Car] gekkekoe123:
Interesting... I wonder if you can split the cable and connect both of them
[Connected Car] donaldta:
There are two ways. The first way involves pushing the "Clear Defaults" button from the ADW's listing in Application Manager. This will bring back the application chooser for the launcher intent whenever an action related to it is activated.

The other way is to launch one of ACU Home's intent via Activity Manager. Since you seem to be hesitant to figure this out for yourself, here is a list of the ACU Home's intent.

se.volvocars.acu/.appdrawer.AppDrawerActivity

se.volvocars.acu/.AcuActivity

se.volvocars.acu/.weather.settings.WeatherSettings

For example, "am start -n se.volvocars.acu/.appdrawer.AppDrawerActivity" would bring up whatever window is associated with its intent.

If you don't have a dedicated icon in the appdrawer, then I'm guessing "com.parrot.voicereco" needs to be launched via intent using Activity Manager.

com.parrot.voicereco/.VoiceRecoContactLAPActivity

com.parrot.voicereco/.VoiceRecoContactResultActivity

com.parrot.voicereco/.VoiceRecoMusicLAPActivity

com.parrot.voicereco/.VoiceRecoMusicResultActivity

com.parrot.voicereco/.VoiceRecoSelectionActivity

com.parrot.voicereco/.tools.RecoKeyReceiver

For example, "am start -n com.parrot.voicereco/.VoiceRecoContactLAPActivity" would bring up whatever window is associated with its intent.

You're welcome.

I'm a bit new to the Volvo terminology. Can anyone please verify if these are correct or not?

Global Positioning System (GPS) = Antenna

Infotainment Control Module (ICM) = Radio / Button & Dial Interface?

Integrated Audio Module (IAM) = Disc Module?

Touchram = IR-LCD Touchsceen?
[Connected Car] AAT:
Yes. = output for antenna GPS.

No. = Display and Control Module.

Partially. = Media player = Disc Module + Radio + USB Interface.

Yes. = IR-LCD Touchsceen (more correctly IR Touchframe?).

Control panel centre console (CCM) = Button & Dial Interface.

Donaldta... I can figure out to go to the ACU home. But you answers are high level and give me so much more knowledge. Your input gave me much more options now. Thanx :good:

BTW, you have any idea how to put the ignition on or off through the CAN bus? I could then turn the ignition on from my home to get access to the SCT. Or maybe this is one step too much... Would it be interesting to start another topic for Volvo CAN bus ?
[Connected Car] twcoolen:
In my case, the SCT antenna was indeed not placed correctly. There is an extensive forum post on volvo-forum.nl on that topic.

Most likely due to the heated windshield, the GPS signal is blocked/hampered, since it is positioned in the dashboard cabinet. My TomTom unit has the exact same issues as the SCT. TomTom cannot get a signal properly, or only after 2-5 minutes. And even with a fix, the behavior of TomTom is erratic.

Volvo NL did a test with my car to place the antenna on different location. Position on the dashboard still gave a bad signal. Placing it on the right mirror outside the car gave a perfect reception. Eventually they positioned the antenna in the parafan (don't know the English wording for it, engine compartment below the wiper area). This has drastically improved my GPS signal.

I will install GPS status today to see my stats now.
[Connected Car] gekkekoe123:
Please test during drive to see how stable it is. My fix quality varies from 7m-15m on the freeway.
[Connected Car] jaanusj:
Topic about sending and receiving CAN bus messages is absolutely interesting and very useful but I am afraid that it belongs to some other forum....because it is related to Volvo hacking not Android hacking.

Anyway we could continue with the subject because I have been testing it on my car and have some initial results, if anyone else is also interested we could discuss this topic further.
[Connected Car] noten093:
Ok. Otherwise we can concentrated to OBD with Android Apps and Volvo. I think it is a very big plus for SCT to be linked with it. Can't imagine the possibilities.
[Connected Car] nrgetic:
Dear all,

maybe a NOOB question and not the right place, but does the SCT (Parrot FC6100) support Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Profile) ? The goal here ist to use the Valentine One Radar Detector with the YaV1 Android app.

Requirements are Android 2.3 and higher and SPP.

Thanks

Roland
[Connected Car] gekkekoe123:
Android 2.3.x support BT SPP (I'm the author of the Bluetooth GPS mouse over SPP ;) )

I will check if the SCT has a functional BT module. I did see the settings for it, so it probably should work.
[Connected Car] nrgetic:
Thanks, that would be awesome !

Youtube shot of my SCT with LCD density modder, ADW launcher etc

Fresh movie:

Great setup now. I can choose between Volvo ACU home launcher or ADW launcher. With LCD Density modder I have a better compliance with a lot of apps. I love the Torque app. Boots when I start the car.

Still have to work on looks and themes. The widget in the ADW launcher did not yet update the weather so look quite crappy.
[Connected Car] donaldta:
That clears it up a lot for me. Thanks! (I also clicked on your post as well. ;) )

You're welcome. Although, it would be nice if you hit the button in the lower left-hand corner of the respective forum post (or any post anyone has written that you've found helpful) as well. It helps to boost the stats of the thread in general as well as the author of the individual posts.

I agree with jaanusj. It would be great to find and share an app that supports more than diagnostics over ODB/CAN-Bus; however, it does not seem like there are any apps currently out which support it for Volvo. This is most likely because the messages over Volvo's CAN-Bus have yet to be catalog let alone tested. I written it many times that it would be helpful if someone with a Volvo (doesn't even need an SCT just an Computer, Android or iOS device with ODB2 support) to get involved with one of these projects. Admittedly, I am partial to the Open Vehicle Monitoring System (OVMS) because the project's leader, Mark Webb-Johnson, is also involved in the Parrot's Developer Forums.

I believe that's called the "firewall" not to be confuse with the network or construction terminology. It's a homograph; same word with different context.

Actually, I'm curious of what the SCT supports in general. Can someone please provide the output of "lsmod" from either an "adb shell" or terminal?

:good: Glad you got it working but that first screen is too busy for my taste. It sort of looks like you got a virus that spawned different size analog gauges on the screen.
[Connected Car] noten093:
Well I need to figure out all the readings. What is what. So I just put a lot of them to find a relation. I pushed thanks btw. :angel:
[Connected Car] donaldta:
.

Well, I meant more the post of the previous post that you found helpful. But, whatever, I'll get whatever I can get. ;)

Anyways, I thought it was rather ironic that you had the light, feathered steel background that's default on the Parrot Asteroid range. Perhaps, you don't know how to or were uncomfortable in decompiling the ACU Home.apk with Android Multitool. So, I took the liberty of extracting the backgrounds and the font used on the SCT, just in case you wanted to make the User Interface (UI) look more cohesive since Volvo uses a transparent notification area with their background. Might be useful if you want to create a theme for ADW and Torque.
[Connected Car] noten093:
Great. Where to put these? Or use them as wallpaper for ADW and Torque.
[Connected Car] donaldta:
Right.
