I've just bought the S150 i140 unit and mostly everything is ok - with the exception of satnav apps.

I don't like igo at all, it's not quite right, the problem is trying to get another one to work!!

Tomtom - no voice output but other audio is fine (shame because the gps updating is really smooth)

Sygic - weird keyboard issues (keeps hiding when attempting input) unusable

Copilot - weird keyboard issues where characters will not show and the keyboard is laggy - unusable

These 3 are pretty much the main contenders so if this unit is unable to work with them it is pretty much useless. It ruins the whole android and choice selling point and actually makes wince (urgh) look like the better deal. I was so impressed to start with, and it seems like it has fallen at the last hurdle.

Has anyone else had any luck with any of these satnav apps?

To make matters worse, I have tried emailing the manufacturer twice but have got no response. I also don't see firmware updates of any kind on their site.

Edit: looks like others have got copilot working ok, so have I just got outdated firmware? I'm on android 2.3.4... Didn't want to make the jump to 4 until the last bugs had been ironed out.
[Android Head-Units] Franvior:
I use Google Navigation (but need 3G) and Sygic.

The Sygic keyboard issue can be solved just downloading a new keyboard from Play Store. I don't remember the name of the one i am using. If you don't find one that fits your reqs tell me and i will check.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
[Android Head-Units] ellnic:
Hi, thanks for confirming that Sygic will work. I did try a different keyboard but perhaps it's not a great one. If you could check which one you got it working with, that would be great. :)

[Android Head-Units] ellnic:
Thanks for that! It's solved the problem with the keyboard disappearing, which has enabled the address input. I now have something else though, the GPS signal isn't great in Sygic and the voice commands are not quite complete and judder/glitch and repeat the final word. Did you also experience this? I don't have the gps issue in iGo so I don't think it's a gps antenna issue.

Hi,

As i am still suffering the MUTE issue and i am not sure if it is SW or HW i am going to review the wiring.

As i am going to open extract the unit and review the wiring i want to check the following. I have a very bad quality of FM/AM radio signal and after reviewing the wiring schema i have realised that i have a cable not connected. In the schema it says 12V OUT so i am thinking it could be a booster of AM/FM and as i didn't connect it, it is doing nothing.

Can anyone confirm if you have it connected to the battery? Is that a booster to the FM/AM?

I have this question because it says OUT and not IN....

Thanks

IPod App Replacement

So I hooked up my IPod to my S150 and was very dissapointed in the IPod app. It didn't let me select playlists, no coverart... just ugly.

When searching for an IPod app replacement, I found none. I'm guessing because this is very S150 specific. Does anyone know of a better app? Perhaps one could be taken from another android/car device?

Thanks.

-John
[Android Head-Units] ellnic:
I wondered this as well because the radio isn't great on mine either. I assumed it can't be right being an output so left it disconnected for now. Thing is, it's marked as 12v out and and blue, is it possible that it's the sub remote wire? I do not see how it can logically be a 12v out.... But then I'm clutching at straws. :P by the way, is it possible to run wince on these s150s? I am considering it until my bugs are fixed. I did finally get a reply from the manufacturer, but they haven't provided a solution yet, they just asked for a photo of my build number which is: GRJ22.V4.00.00-20131121.
[Android Head-Units] Franvior:
[MENTION=5699280]Allen Wong[/MENTION], please can you give us some light on this? Is that a AM/FM booster and so it has to be connected to a 12 V source? Many thanks in advanced
[Android Head-Units] Kuvster2014:
Wow

This would be awesome :D
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
Hi ,

The written Document is wrong

Its definetly 12V IN and needed to supply 12V to your Amplifier integrated in your Antenna

|Radio| --- HF Signal--- |FM/AM Box| --- HF Signal + 12V --- |Antenna with integrated AMP|

you can connect ACC or ANT-C (Blue and Black) to it.

now the reception should be better.
[Android Head-Units] Franvior:

Wireless Reverse Camera

All,

I finally installed my wireless reverse camera and sensors. This was much more of an effort than I thought it would be! :D

Anyway. Now while I'm driving, sometimes the screen flashes and I pick up video... sometimes TV, sometimes someone's livingroom. I can only assume the wireless camera receiver is picking up a signal and telling the S150 to switch to camera mode. This seems odd. I thought it would only turn the camera on when the reverse (blue wire) was activated.

I'm tempted to run a wire and get rid of the wireless part, but I wanted to know if anyone else here has seen this happen.

Thanks.

-John
[Android Head-Units] Franvior:
Mission accomplished!! I have put both cables together and now Radio is much better. Now i can hear the stations with a higher quality.:laugh:

I recommend to do it to the people with a low quality in their radio stations. It is quite easy.

[MENTION=954993]TvBIFI[/MENTION], as you were saying the right cable is the blue-and-black one.

Thanks.

P.S.: Is there any way to turn the radio automatically off if i open the Poweramp? I remember there is a configuration file with that but i haven't found it.

I have a problem with my S150 / Android 2.3.4. I bought device compatible stick, but I get only GPRS speed (G letter on the upper right corner and Mobile network type: GPRS on Settings / info).

Bluetooth call quality

Hey guys. Have the s100 updated to android 4.03 Everything works great except I cannot use the bluetooth for calls as people say it is very hard to hear me. Had the same problem with s100 as well. Has anyone upgraded the wired michrophone or is there a way to make this better? I am assuming apt of people have the same issue. Is there a google play app that will improve it?

Got my I305 unit on Friday, installed it Saturday and it worked great all day, with no issues. Last night, I switched off the power while in boot (I know, stupid) and now I'm stuck in a boot loop at the Android logo.

I'm bald, so pulling out my hair is fruitless...

Yes, I'm using Ubuntu 13.10. I've figured out why it won't mount back, because it is getting a fatal error during the fusing. This appears to be due to the fact that the SD Card is located at /dev/mmcblk0. When it tries to run the script, it tries to add the 1 at the end, which then causes a language error. I also tried /dev/mmcblk0p, so that adding the 1 will give it the proper naming structure, but that also failed.

I've been at this since 7 this morning, trying to get a 2 day old unit in working order again, and I'm starting to get really frustrated.

I also tried using the SD-Flasher program, but it will not recognize any of my microSD cards, most likely because I have to use a microSD adapter for the card reader. Any other suggestions from the gallery?

When I rebooted the card, it did not show anything, but I am under the assumption that this is correct. I copied the contents of the firmware file over to the root of the card, and then ejected it. I installed it into the GPS port of the s150, and then turned it on. At least it is doing something different, and different is always better, I hope. It started with an unlit black screen, which turned white, then faded to black except for a 1.5 cm vertical bar on the right, which stayed white. I'm leaving it alone now to see what it does.

Any thoughts?

[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Ok, this problem has happened to other people too, i don't know why this is happening but the script should create the SD-bl1-8k.bin file that has to be flashed on the SD and in your case is not able to create.

I made a copy of the created file so you can bypass that error:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87479392/SD-bl1-8k-Android 4.rar

extract it in you working folder, run again the script and it will proceed now fusing it on the SD.

Once you have this done correctly, put the sd in the gps slot and turn on the unit.. you should see the android logo in a few seconds.

bye:)

Anyone got the I102?

I ordered the S150 I102 for 1997-2004 (C5) Audi A6 a couple of weeks ago. Shortly after I received a message from the seller with questions about my car. I replied, and got a new message stating I would need to get the S100 for SWC to work.

Since my car is a 2000 year model, it doesn't actualy communicate much via CAN (although it can be upgraded to use CAN for SWC) but rather uses some proprietary signal for SWC I think.

Has anyone got the S150 to work with CAN, or Audi SWC yet?

Next question: Has anyone else had trouble with the app for VCDC? My app does not have the option for saving discs to the virtual changer drive. I watched a video in Spanish (which was educational!) that showed the steps, but it would appear that there is something missing from the setup.

And another question: I haven't had much of anything Android, so what are the critical apps I should load?
