Hi! Could you give me these infos about fm radio app that is very important for me:

- AF works now?

- When you store a radio station, does it store the name of it or just the frequency?

- Fm signal is good?

- Audio quality? (lack of bass etc...)

- Steering controls work?

- Interaction with other apps? (stock media player, navi voice info etc)?

Thanks a lot.

Just tested one of this adapter on my S150 and works very nice. More signal strenght and wifi more stable with respect to the old one:

http://www.szedup.com/show.aspx?id=1754

Tested with my smartphone in thetering and live stream radio "Tune In" app without any problem.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
1) don't think so.

2) frequency

3) hadn't any issues with that before, no difference in my opinion.

4) I've got a active woofer, I never complain about "lack of bass". :laugh: Quite the contratry really.

5) yes (self build resistive interface adapter)

6) there's a new bug : each time you select ANY mediaplayer and select it to play, returning to the radio app will loose screen-update-focus, till you manually end the FMapp and restart it (or switch off the radio and switch it on again). Still using Sygic and have no issues with Radio + Sygic + Nav voice.

So, other that the change of the RDS data position to the center of the display, nothing has changed, and the app has gained a new bug which wasn't there before (the screenupdate issue). Still, I'm using it as I quite like the repositioned rds data window.

Hi,

I have same problem of np27np27. After install firmware upgrade an error message "Illegal firmware upgrade".

I have download 1.1.9.13 firmware but nothing change... only the bootloader that now is 2.1 (before 2.0) and the color of background when flashing (before red, now yellow).

What can I do?
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
Apparently It's a bug in one of the bootloaders. To bypass it, first install any 4.0 rom then try your 1.1.913 win ce, and it should work. ;)

Houston, we have many problems

[MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] I did not reach the 20 fingers! A failure almost leaves me infarcted !

I started the downgrade process Kotix + FW 4.0 to FW 2.3.4 Aroma ( I802 ) according to your instructions , very clear in post #1405

Arriving at upgrading bluetooth, black screen and beep, beep ... after 3 hours (real, I kept it on purpose) followed the beep!

Reset.

New attempt , passed that hurdle , but upgrading mcu ... froze there.

Reset.

Ops! Began FW 2.3.4 .

I operate well 4 times ( on and off ) . After the start delay to appear the NISSAN logo , passed six minutes !

Attempting to install FW 4.0 + Aroma Kotix . He froze in upgrading mcu .

Reset.

It started correctly but :

Audio in any apk .

No Radio apk disappeared.

The SCR , NAVI , VOL * , etc did not operate any buttons !

And other things.

Turning off the engine and remove the key ... the unit was still on !

Reset. All the same.

Disassemble and disconnect auto main tab.

Attempting to install FW 4.0 + Aroma Kotix , insert SD, I connect the power tab ... cross my 20 fingers again ... FW 4.0 Kotix again OK , audio problems with certain known ! . Final point , no more up- downgrade for now, tired and frightened, the unit is almost as paperweights !
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
I'm truly sorry to ear all this :(

Look's like your mcu just won't accept the update..and when you reset the unit it goes on halt state or something like that.

Have you removed CD, USB sticks etc...?

Did you try pressing the eject button while you era those bips?

What is your unit model?

If I understand, you can update the mcu from 4.03 fw but you cannot do it from a 2.34 fw, right?

What if you put the mcu from your model original 2.34 fw in the 4.03 winca folder and update?

If it will update correctly i can make you a 2.34 fw with mcu flash disabled.

If it doesn't then i have no more ideas :(
[Android Head-Units] risis78:
Ok thanks, I hope to solve...

I found myself in this situation because I asked for a firmware update to the seller. They sent me an email with the firmware download link but now I got the error "upgrade package does not match." Then I saw on the internet that enough to make a small change to an ini file to start it and it did. But after the error appeared "illegal upgrade package" ...

I sent an email to them. Let's see what they tell me.

If they fail to do so, I will try to do as you suggested you.

I would like to ask you something.

When you use the software SetUpdateXML, you check into all of the options at top of the window?

My producer is hotaudio but can not find it in the list "user type". Can I use any one or it is important to select the correct one?

I have some doubt about the LCD type (should be HannStar 7" but I'm not sure)

I attach a photo of the system information (when it still worked). You can figure out something from this?
[Android Head-Units] sergani:
Thanks.

Steering controls work fine with those music players?

Also, do they start up automatically after you receive a phone call, get out of reverse, start up the car?
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
On S100 unit starting from firmware 1.xx.8 thy have added a bootloader version check that prevent user to downgrade to previous version of firmware, so if you are on 1.xx.9 (2.1BL) firmware you cannot flash a 1.xx.8 (2.0BL) or 1.xx.7(1.0BL) firmware.

You have 3 options:

1. stay on current bootloader version finding a fw update for your unit of the same BL

2. Use the SD-BOOT for wince to flash a previous FW

3. Flash Android and then go back to wince using again SD-BOOT for wince

I beleive the second option is enought and you don't need to install android just to downgrade wince.
[Android Head-Units] risis78:
thanks KoTiX2, now I'm beginning to understand better
[Android Head-Units] gochapka:
Ok , thanks , yes, a shame all this.:(

Correct!

OH , no, now that you mention have always been ; ! Since the HU is mounted on cars , WIFI USB ! :( :silly:

I did not know this!

S150 Original , Original Android 2.3.4 FW - I001 (Nissan)

Correct.

Oh, can it be? I did not try ! , too many things I do not yet know . :rolleyes: :confused:

For now no more attempt , but it bothers me when I hear music from SD / USB does not always play , its operation is random , most have nothing bother me walk ... just a black screen ; ! Equally many, but thank you very much for everything ! ... get a beer soon. :good: :laugh:
[Android Head-Units] mains75:
That is very bad. Especially for AF (but I read here that this bug was fixed in last official firmware) and store names bug. Can't remember the frequency of the stations that I store so can't select the station I want by choosing a list of frequecies... what kind of radio app they made?? Can't buy a product like this on 2014!!!:(
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Well, I responded on the "AF" as "I don't think so" because I can't really check this. I don't do distances long enough to trigger the AF. It MAY work, but I won't say "yes" if I don't know. I have the impression nothing changed, but I'm not 100% sure.

I AM sure about the "frequency instead of station name". Which, considering the RDS data capture of the radio app is pretty awful (if a radio station sends out more info than just the station name, the RDS window will show jibberisch instead of usable info) may be a blessing in disguise. Remembering the freq's isn't an issue to me. As an old geezer who used to have car radios without any preset memories (and the first one was even mechanical !), I'm not having any real issues with that. However you are right : it shouldn't even be an issue in this day and age.

As even my dirt cheap-china-imported android phone can do this without any issue, yes, that's pretty sad.

Again. I just repeat what I've said 6 months ago : I'm not looking at the S150 as "the radio that will last the lifetime of my car". It works well enough for me and it can do stuff no car radio I had before can do, and it can do far more than most high-level brands can do at double the price.

I said back then : if it works halfway decent, has a reasonable sound, usable handsfree function and I can run Torque, I'll consider everything else as "extra". And I clearly said that anyone looking for a "everything works 100% out of the box" solution should look elsewhere.

That opinion hasn't changed.

It's not flawless, I'm the first to agree.

The contributions of the likes of Donaldta, Kotix, Alan, Bypo, Stief ... and so many others i FAIL to mention (sorry guys ! but you're all in my heart ! :) ) may or may not result in solving all problems or even produce an android 4 version on it that solves all the issues that withhold me from upgrading my current device.

If so, great !

If not, I'll drive the S150 in its current version for as long as possible, and will upgrade to a better, faster and more advanced model when I feel the time is right. While some people may have made the mistake of buying one of these android headunits thinking they can do everything a current cheap tablet can do, it's clear to me that just like I'm not using my first single core, 800Mhz tablet anymore, allthough it still functions, the S150 will probably encounter a similar fate in a year of 2.

Until then, I'm enjoying the S150 with it's quircks and shortcomings, and follow the developments here with a keen eye.
[Android Head-Units] gochapka:
EXCELLENT!!!

The interface problem is over with OBD2, type Bluetooth, I've tried it and it works great!. :laugh::laugh:

There is a minimum delay, almost imperceptible, between what happens in reality and what is displayed on the screen HU!

Again ... thanks KoTiX2! :good:

Wifi connected, but no data

Hi there,

--Before I would like to mention, I have used the search option and Google, but could not find any topic related to my problem.--

Just received my S150 unit from Honk Kong. Installed it and so far, I like it.

I connected to my home's wifi and on the unit it says it is connected.

At that moment, I could use the browser, but after 1-2 minute or so, websites couldn't be loaded any more. Also I could not get connected to the Playstore.

Does anyone know what is happening here and how to solve this?

Another thing; can I switch the beep sound off every time you touch a button? It really annoys me.

Just looked on the device which versions the unit is. Here the whole list:

I016

MCU O002

Build GRJ22.V3.09.02-20131102

I can't find any updates for the I016 at the beginning of this thread. Is there any?
[Android Head-Units] Weescotty:
Hifimax HM-C034G for Mazda 3 (2012)

Followed the thread with a lot of interest.

Does anyone have either -

Latest S100 firmware for C034

Or

I have seen Android based C034 (same hardware specs inc 512mb / 4Gb memory), so the i034 firmware?

[edit]

Current Versions from System Info....

BSP Edition: 2013-2-22

APP Edition: S100-V1.9.6.0

MCU Edition: 000B S005 C034

DVD Edition: 1227 V101

BT Edition: 20121204

Many thanks

Hi [MENTION=2734955]KoTiX2[/MENTION] Thanks for clarifying.

Where would i get this from? I don't remember every having an original firmware to fall back on.

My unit is Model: I062
[Android Head-Units] risis78:
I finally solved my problem.

The firmware 1.4.8.0 and 1.1.9.13 continued to give me the "illegal upgrade package" error but the version 1.0.9.13 worked without problems!
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
You could also try the mcu for the c062?
[Android Head-Units] vipzone:
I did it. I Upgrade my s100to android 4.0

I have a vw Passat so tue Software for I305

Everything Works great but the canbus dont work.

Had somebody fix ist ?
[Android Head-Units] DSGVW:
Random question for everyone and maybe specifically Allen. I've got the S150 7" screen and I have mildly scratched one side of the screen with a finger nail (don't use finger nails for scrolling!!) .. is there a replacement glass available for a decent price for these units? I saw somewhere someone posted something about $30-$50 for a replacement. I have no problem doing the install.
[Android Head-Units] dom_christo:
i have also done this ._.

need to buy a stylus or something..
[Android Head-Units] vipzone:
And if i come form s100 and have android 4.0 can i also Flash your Version or is this only for s150. Maybe with this Version would work swc and canbus on my vw.
[Android Head-Units] belciugc:
Hi,

Can you tell me what is new in this new version for s100?
[Android Head-Units] Franvior:
Hi,

I have found how to start the services that detect the 3G Dongles. As i was explaining before i was having some problems detecting the 3G dongle. Sometimes it works and sometimes not (and it implied a restart of the unit to be detected).

After performing some tests i have found the two services to be launched if the dongle is not detected. I have prepare a small task in TASKER to check if internet connection is working, if not it will deactivate / activate Data, if it doesn't work for three times (it means 3G dongle is not detected) then it starts both services (/etc/ppp/init.gprs-pppd and /etc/ppp/ip-up-ppp0). Both has to be run in root mode. Otherwise it is not working.

I will take a couple of pictures and attach them so people with same problems can do same as me.

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
The List of Bluetooth Contacts is too big

you can see only the first name but nothing more

is there a fix out yet ?
[Android Head-Units] Franvior:
For that i use DW Contacts
[Android Head-Units] ausbean:
Good news.

Can you elaborate.

What OBD2 software?

Was it the Mirrorop installation which is Wifi or something else?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] gochapka:
OBD2 isn´t a software, is the system itself is that cars have for making signals for diagnosing errors and delete it, this is a description in summary form.

In a connector that all cars have between 14 and 16 pins, a scanner is connected in workshops commonly, however sold many units on the market that serve the same and read the signs on way home.

That unit is the famous ELM327, there is much info on the internet about this interface.

Many have bought with connection via Bluetooth, with smartphones connects fine, but the HU is impossible.

Now, with this apk MirrorOp, you can! Connect via BT OBD2 interface with the smartphone and using the apk "TORQUE" you can see the parameters of the car.

Then, via WIFI, connect your smartphone with HU and presto, in this screen you see what you see on the screen of the smartphone.

That's it.
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Guys... my unit yesterday has died!

During android boot up the screen turned white and it never worked again :(

I still ear the beeps of the booting process and of the touchscreen in android, but i cannot see anything. :crying:

Even after a reflash the screen turn just white/grey and I beleive the mcu is broken, I'll have to open it but i'm not very positive about it.

So no more play for me, i just leave you these 2 modded apks:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qt5vtds9sdtvjpa/RadioPlayer.apk

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3h5yrwj8rwzl5lb/wincaBluetooth.apk

Radio have red RDS string and little mod to the slider, BT have different colors from original one.

Ciao :rolleyes: :angel::crying:
[Android Head-Units] royalhawk2002:
I am afraid about this! Try to ask Allan if you can have a replacement Main Board at little price...and with DSP! :confused:
[Android Head-Units] gochapka:
OH!, Damn! :crying: I'm so sorry! was a possibility that this happens! hell! :(

! So for now, and maybe forever, do not try anything to bring back either the HU, that was my fear: I have no audio on GPS or by the SD / USB inputs, but the rest works; hate equipment as well ... but worse than death!.

I contacted Roadnav people and they tell me that Android OS 4.0 is still a test, is unstable and the best is 2.3;! Which is IMPOSSIBLE back from 4.0 to 2.3, ops!

I'll walk in this time of sorrow! Greetings. :( :crying:
[Android Head-Units] mtresk:
I have the same HU I001 and it's possible back to 2.3. After beeping started wait about 5 min and then eject sd card and press reset. I have already done it 10 times or more. Then you need to flash 2.3 again, but only through the right slot. Go to the menu / system update.

Here is the latest firmware for the Nissan http://yadi.sk/d/oAWOV_jzJz8Et
[Android Head-Units] gochapka:
OH!, Thank you very much for the information mtresk :laugh: :good:, is very valuable, but now you put me in a bind! :confused:

I want to leave the FW 4.0, it is very nice, good GUI but the HU operates as hell! :eek:

But with experience KoTiX ¨, and I feared I t could happen, I'm doubting. :rolleyes:

Also infinitely grateful for your information :good: ... I think a little and see that I do, I'm tempted. :eek:
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
In roadnav they don't know that you have the sd recovery, so they say that it's not downgradable from the standard procedure.

So all you need to downgrade from 4.03 to 2.34 is to disable mcu flashing in the updater-script, best if you have an aroma installer.
[Android Head-Units] Franvior:
Oh, that is not good. You are one of most active members.... I am sorry to hear that.

Can you ask for a new one? Are you in garantee period?

C173

Hi,

I have a c173 S100 for an XC90 (CarDCT) and wondering if someone ever tried to update this to android. It comes with a canbus cable.

So no sure if the update (flashing) to android would work. Also I could not find the original firmware anywhere for the C173. It would be nice if this could be posted here :)
[Android Head-Units] gochapka:
dear, I was watching the zip and there is a new file, the. DS_Store, it needs to be?, never saw it.

As always switch loose in the SD files and folder in I001 with them?

In this case, the folder should be I001 or I001_2.3_20140115?

I need to also flash the MCU? I could not bring problems (HU die :silly: ), reached only with the rest?

In the folder "config" now a subfolder called "app" appears, is that right?

I can remove the apk "yandexmaps", I think they should be maps of Russia.

I can add other applications in this folder?

the slot on the right! is the SD DVD, right?

This is when the process was in "updating bluetooth" ... and the screen goes black and will not return to continue the update process, no?

Many doubts!, Much attention! very afraid! :confused:

Thank you. :good:

Hi, Kotix same Happened to me Today

I ve wanted to Factory reset the system and after That it didnt boot up.

When i Want to run the Bootloader im getting the Dark Beep and the Screen turns White with some Lines nothing more Happens

so this Navi Fu**ed :(

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Phew lucky me the SD Flashing of WINCE is Working

So Kotix give it a Try

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

well WINCE Update hangs after Calibration but he has rewritten the Bootloader :angel:

now i could reinstall android yeah :victory:

while copying the WINCE Data i was looking for a new one

Ive couldnt bring it to life would have bought an new A9 device ;)

all these problems because of Tomtom has no GPS
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
Well, my unit is not completely dead, just the LCD is not getting video signals. The unit still boot android and i can even control the radio, search stations, increase volume etc.. But everything is done being blind with black screen.

I'll investigate more, maybe it's just a matter of mcu flash.
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
hmm thats bad

possible a blind MCU flash could fix the Problem?

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

i would try to flash wince if u have an bootscreen of the Bootloader your device is ok and only the software of android is damaged

i had whitescreen too and this brought my device back to life
[Android Head-Units] np27np27:
I've had this a few times before. I don't think your unit is dead, just a bad flash. Try flashing win ce like I did and it will hopefully come back. Good luck ;)

:thumbup:
[Android Head-Units] KoTiX2:
I did the blind flash of android and that is the result, will surely try wince but i want to try other mcu first.

As i said it's not a bootloader problem because everything work except lcd.

I'm tempted to buy a new board with dsp.
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
well i had to reflash MCU because no Key and sound were working :silly:

then music went very low but i fixed this was an eq problem

next thing now i dont have any boot animation i can see when i hit reset

but who cares the screen appears after full bootup

i like to know if those WinCE mcu are working under Android
[Android Head-Units] transsoniku:
mate thats strange....

try this: take a flash light, power up the unit, and when you have controls on it put the light on the screen and see if you can see something in the backgraound...i think you backlight doesnt light up (bad flash or faulty backlight)

anyway, dark/white screens i had a few my self, and test some of the roms on this site with 2.3.4 unutil it worked. anyway as i said before, to do un downgrade, i had to let it upload the files and when reches the flash erase functions i just let it 15 min to beep arround and then reset it. it seems it cannot reboot after downgrade its self.
[Android Head-Units] TvBIFI:
finally after 8 times of flashing in 2h it works :victory:

7 times i forgot to set stay awake :p

and after setting canbus in Factorysetting its also acknowlegded :victory:

This is o combo unit. Boots in Windows CE and you start Android as an application. Stay away from those, read the posts in this and other threads, those combo are the worst, they are really "hated" by users.You will not be able to access the radio from Android for example so no way of listening Radio and running any Android app like a Navi program at the same time. If you want CE buy a CE ONLY unit.If you want Android make sure is a pure Android so it boots in Android directly.

Not very familiar , but it's a Freescale unit so it MAY be an OUKU unit (there is another thread) ask there:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pure-Androi...deo_In_Dash_Units_w_o_GPS&hash=item2586fbd979

This looks like an S150 based unit (so this thread) (from the images of the UI) but you need to confirm with the seller.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/A8-C...with-audios-car-gps-navigator/1095226611.html

In fact if you go on the left side there are categories and you can select S150 and one of the units is this one, I would say 95% is an S150.
