There is something I don't understand to be honest.

Are there updates to the i001 unit regularly?

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

Just to know also, I have the 21/01/2014 4.0 firmware. Is it possible to download the 2.3 firmware from the carnaviplayer.com page and flash it back?

Basically I'm having problems with the current Music Player app because the artwork is all messed up, and I'm having a really hard time getting around to the tracks I want to listen too, funnily :)

No buttons works

Hi all,

np27np27, I think I've the same problem as you :crying:

How have you solve this problem?

When I push all the buttons, nothing happens, but in factory mode (##0323 in bluetooth screen), when I push buttons, key1 and key2 values ​​change.

Any idea?
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
Yes I got it to work. With some help from kotix2 I realised that I needed to change the 'bus type' value to 12 in one of the configuration files. Then after a re flash with this setting the buttons worked correctly.

You need to change the bus type value to the correct number for your unit. Which model do you have?
[Android Head-Units] lenico:
I've a C078. It's a S100, but I try to convert it in S150 :p

I gonna try to change the 'bus type' value and flash again.

Thanks for your answer.
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
There is a configuration file in the S100 Program folder in win CE that will tell you your bus type value, I can check for you later.
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
Just checked the MachineMapCanbus.xml , your Canbus type is 9. Try it and hopefully your buttons should be back working again ;)
[Android Head-Units] Eivinde89:
I'm not through all 166 pages yet, but I can see there is some great information you have collected here!

Wanting the S150 in my 2000 Audi A4 I am thinking of modifying the I102-model (for 1997-2004 A6) slightly, as that is the closest I'll get.

Where is the best place to buy one of these?
[Android Head-Units] excitedidiot:
I'd recommend carnaviplayer.com as they give support and have a person active in this forum, but it looks like they only carry the c102, which is the S100 version of the A6 unit.

I bought mine on ebay and was happy, just make sure the specs match and you confirm that it's actually the model you want, there are a bunch of different units with the same faceplate being sold on there. My model was about $50 cheaper on aliexpress.com, but I ended up buying on ebay because I wanted to use American Express for the extended warranty that it gives.

Good Luck.

Hi,

It's working now, but the keys are not good:

- MUTE change the band radio

- PLAY launch the gps

- HANG change the brightness

There remains something wrong ... :(
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
It looks like that is not your canbus number then. Are you sure the model number is correct?

You could also check your S100 firmware configuration files to see if they show your canbus type.
[Android Head-Units] lenico:
Yes, it's a C078 (written on the HU).

It is better than before, some buttons work :)

I think I gonna do like Cristallx (post #1112), try each configuration until I find the one that is ok.

First Impressions

I was finally able to get the main head-unit installed in my Rav4. It looks great. I'm going to stick with 2.3.4 for awhile to see the pros/cons. Later I'll do the various upgrades to see the changes. I did the root process and installed titanium backup.

First of all, I was very impressed. The boot time was not nearly as long as I anticipated. The apps are quite good and the response time is nice. The touch screen is a bit difficult to navigate because you have to press pretty hard on the screen. Buttons are not a problem, but swipe actions can be difficult.

I'm happy so far with the iGo nav system. I don't care for the music player, so I've changed to poweramp. The steering wheel controls work perfectly.

There are two things so far that bother me and I was wondering if anyone could help:

1. I can't find a way to map the front panel buttons to other things. E.G. I want to map the BAND button to start PowerAmp.

2. I can't find a way to have poweramp start automatically when the system boots. Do I need to use tasker or llama?

Thanks

Hello, I've seen some firmwares popping up with

Build number: GRJ22.V4.04.08-20140115

MCU: B003

Someone installed on I802 using the default configuration, does it work? MCU: xxxx is just a version number or is something related to dsp board?

I use the firmware from 21.11.2013 MCU: P002, I'm thinking of using a more recent firmware from another unit just using my own configuration...I know it works as I did it before.

The only bug that really affects me is resetting the memory when the unit is started then turned off too quickly.

Did you change something to get steering wheel controls working perferctly ?

I have the same model as yours but SWC doesn't always work. Sometimes i'm unable to change station up and down (volume key always work) and i'm unable to get the central button working.

Which SWC code did you have ?

Hi all,

Great thread - thanks to all who are contributing.

I am thinking of ordering the S150 I140 for a MK6.5 Ford Fiesta... Does anyone have experience with this unit in a Fiesta or another Ford? I am trying to find out what extra cabling (if any) I will need to buy for the steering wheel controls to work? Or do most of the 'made for' models come with the correct cabling, and just plug and play? :confused:

Anyone know how to get JetAudio to autolaunch on 2.3.4? I love the audio software but it refuses to boot for me causing me to open it and re-select a song each and everytime I get in the car.

Also anyone have issues with album artwork? I got it to download with album art downloader but every few days it just disappears (only from some albums).. very strange. It's even worse with the stock music player which doesn't hold more than 10% of the album art in memory. JetAudio works MUCH better but doesn't auto play.

I'm at a loss....

Hello, i'm intersted in s100 and s150 devices.

Please someone tell me if it it possible to assign a button (from central console) to the function "next folder" (or next album) in the audio player ?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] ciripicchio123:
I have a mode button but does nothing.

When fwd key hangs, I have to unblock by pressing the back key. I don't know why but back key works and unlock the fwd key.

My issue is when both fwd and back keys stop to work. In that case, I have to power off the radio.

Vol+ and Vol- always works. Always. Only fwd and back has some issues.

SWC Rav4

ciripicchio123,

I didn't do anything special. I went through the button setup, but nothing else.

Does your up/down button work for other apps? I don't really use the radio, so I don't know about station up/down. I will try tonight and let you know. I'm happy to share my config files with you if it would help.

Storing RDS data in preset

Perhaps a stupid question, since I am not a programmer, but isn't it possible to store the value from the RDS when storing a preset? Since the app can read the RDS value, it should be possible to get that value and store it in the preset button instead of he frequency. Or am I completely wrong here?

Is there anyone who could program this in the fmam.apk?

Furthermore it would be nice if the preset buttons were at he same screen as the frequency (start screen of the fmam.apk), instead of pushing the left button to, list the presets. I find it very distracting to push this button and unnecessary , while I'm driving (I should watch the road). The OEM radio in newer VW's have six presets at the screen all the time. Perhaps it is possible to get this in the app as well?

I'm trying myself, but with my knowledge of programming with Android, it will take a few months before anything comes out.

Hi all,

I bought the S100 for Seat Ibiza last week. Everything works fine (steering wheel controls, rear cam...) except one thing... The switching on and off with the ignition key does not work. It's very strange, because I'm pretty sure it worked at first.

I tried to reset the head unit but same thing...

Have you ever encountered this issue ?

Do you know if there is a key combination to change the behavior of the unit with the ignition key?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I´ve a little Problems with a new Unit. Its a I087 Unit, i want replace the fmam.apk from KotTix2 with the original fmam.apk. The Unit is rooted with Framaroot. I cant overwrite the old file but i´ve no correct permissions to overwrite the apk.

The second error is that the sd card on dvd slot not mount automatically on startup:confused:

Anybody has an idea?
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
To replace the fmam.apk, you must mount the file system as "Read/Write". Esfile explorer will do it!

For the other problem...I have no idea..sorry! :eek:

Radio lose stored stations

Last issue I notice is the Radio Station list lost. With some investigation I understand that the phase during the car engine switch on is the moment where the radio lose memory. In this phase the battery 12V lower to 10.4V measured with a multimeter. I suppose this is enough to lose radio setup. Not so important because I'm using dab tuner lately, but I'd prefer to save my stored radio stations. Anybody with the same issue? And any fix? I 'm thinking to use a 12v stabilizer ....

Sometime happens that the head unit switch off during engine start up. May be my battery, 4 years old has to be replaced but I suppose it's a bit early because I have any other problem.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Hm. I don't think the voltage is the issue. An S150 will stop working when going below 9.5V according to specs (and I tested this, it's true) which is extraordinary low for a 2Din unit. If your battery would drop below that value, your engine wouldn't crank.

Are you sure the radio is wired correctly ? Because this kind of behaviour is typical when lines 9 and 10 (Car Battery and ACC) on the S150 connector are swaped.
[Android Head-Units] Franky692:
Thanks kaween,

I'm measuring the voltage during engine start up with a multimeter and I see 10,4V but with this kind of measurement i can't see small drops under 9.5.V if exists

About yellow and red wires (Battery and key 12V), I’m sure they are in the right position….

Seems also that if I manually switch off the head unit and then switch on it after engine start up the radio memories are not losts….

:rolleyes:
[Android Head-Units] gochapka:
What?!

Hi junior2001 in this forum you apply for I152 and FW forum Roadnav apply for the C152, is this correct? :eek:
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Odd. If you're indeed 100% sure your wiring is correct, I have no rational explenation for this behaviour.

Anyhow, I did write about a way to buffer a radio from problems surrounding cranking some pages ago using a pico-ups and a small SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) Battery on this thread. If push comes to shove, I can guarantee you that solution will catch any crap your car electric system will throw at you. ;)

Have you tried just deleting the old app before the copy?

[Android Head-Units] Franky692:
Thanks Kaween,

I'm sure the wires are correctly connected. First of all the Subaru legacy version has a build in connector, second I checked them with the multimeter.

I suppose you are referring to this post

It can be a good solution, but can be useful to find the Pico UPS here in italy...:p.

I want to connect the Pico UPS between the battery 12v (Yellow wire) and the HU only to avoid 12v drops during engine start.

Now I want to understand if the problem it's really related to the engine switch on phase. I'm checking if storing station and switch on the HU without engine, save my radio station list, if this happen the reason can be the 12V during engine switch on indeed and the PicoUps can be the solution.

Edit.

reading the pico UPS 100 manual i see:

Power inputs

1) A 16V power source. The actual range for V(in) 15-18V.

NOTE: Unit will work as low as 6V, but battery will not be charged if V(in) is lower than 15V!

2) A Lead Acid or Sealed Lead Acid battery

Power Path Switching

The picoUPS-100 will automatically switch in between V(In) and Batt

depending on who has a higher voltage. The switching hysteresis is as low as

10mv. As a result, when AC/DC power is lost, the picoUPS will automatically

switch to Battery output. The switching speed is about 100nS.

Everithing is ok but only the NOTE create me doubts: is it the car voltage more than 15V when the engine is on and the alternator is working? You wrote :

2) your headunit can NOT drain your main battery empty, as the PicoUPS will only charge the backup battery when the car's voltage goes above 13.2 V (in other words, when the engine of the car is running and your alternator is charging the battery circuit)

13.2V it's not 15V can you clarify please?

edit again:

I need picoUPS-120-ATVX instead of picoUPS-100 as you wrote;)

120 can work with 13-16V perfect for cars!

This can avoid also stranges HU switches off during engine start that I have sometime. :)

My Last concern is the fact that when the car battery voltage drop down during engine switch on , car is required a lot of current and I'm afraid the picoUPS can drain current from the backup UPS small battery for the car needs. Usually the picoUPS works if the input voltage is lost instead I don't know what happens when the 12V drop down for a big request of current.

Problem with automute

Hi guys,

i am still in the stock firmware and since a couple of days i am suffering a very strange problem. Randomly, the audio gets muted. It has effect as pressing the mute button. If i wait a while it is unmutted again. It is weird as i have been using de unit since December and these problems are new.

any idea on what could be the cause?

Update:

this afternoon late I put my wife car, side by side to my Subaru Legacy 2010. I connected the battery on my car wife to my battery. It has a 70 Ah battery and I have only a 65 Ah... I left the my wife's car off and after save few radio station i switched on my Car. Nothing changes I lose always the saved radio stations. I tried again with the my wife car engine switched on so the alternator can compesate the voltage drop. Even with the alternator on I lose the saved radio station. This make me creazy! Now I can gues that during my car engine switch on the electronic board of the car cut the battery 12V on the Head Unit for several millisecond (for example 1/5 of a second) and I can not see that on a multimeter.

Tomorrow if I can I will try to check the battery 12V HU of my car with an oscilloscope so I can see also small lacks of voltage.

At this point i can exclude a car battery problem and I think something odd appens on the 12V battery HU power during engine switch on. If this is the case I can fix the problem with a picoUPS 120 but probably it's enough to run a wire between the + on the car battery and the HU, protected with a fuse.

Any comment? I can guess this can happens on different car models and brands.
[Android Head-Units] Franky692:

Two images that explain why in my S150 on my Subaru Legacy 2010 loses saved radio stations during engine cranking (start up)

This is at the yellow wire of S150

This is on the car battery.

The scope triggers when I'm starting the engine exactly when the starer start.

As you can see for about 100millisec my voltage drop under 7V and (I'm now sure) in this phase my S150 loses station and sometime, if on, suddenly, goes off...

Probably a diode with a capacitor of the right size can save me.....;)

Probably some other S150 are in the same situation.... so I hope this can help.

If your odb2 doesn't support AP mode (in my experience, most low cost devices don't), you'll have to force your S150 into accepting AdHoc connections which isn't officially supported in 2.3.

I've already explained what is needed to do that a couple of months ago. Have a look at the Ouku 2din thread : it's burried down there somewhere. :laugh:
