By the way, do you know where you can get non US market car's SWC info from donaldta ?
[Android Head-Units] djblaze852002:
I suggest re installing the firmware. Download links are available on the first page. I had trouble installing the newest firmware on top of the same version (newest) so I downloaded the previous version, installed that first then installed the newest version. If you're having trouble with the screen and need to initiate the install, first extract the files to a micro sd. Hold down the volume button to turn off the unit, instep micro sad, press the volume button and menu button to initiate the update, hope this helps.
[Android Head-Units] MynticeLX:
I'll try this now and let you know. I had not considered going back to a previous version of the firmware.
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
you are a champion, thanks !

can you also provide some thoughts on the illumination wires? The car has two, + and - but the radio has only one illumination wire.

The car has a switch which goes up and down and as you press up, the dash illuminates more until it hits maximum. As you press down, it goes all the way dark. This allows for maximum illumination even when there is still light outside and your lights turn on.

Do I just hook up ILL + to the radio illumination wire? what about the negative wire?

thanks

EDIT : need more help ! I just hooked up the unit to a spare 12V battery and been playing with it. all was ok until I installed Boot Animations an I was just going through few different once on the server section and I clicked preview and it started downloading and then decompressing one of them and the screen went black and background music stopped. All buttons are lit up but nothing is happening. I disconnected the battery, it starts ok, shows my car logo and the spinning android animation and then again, goes to black screen, does not show home pack nothing. I pressed the reset button, it shows the car logo and thats it, black screen after that. Any ideas how to fix this please!? - NVM, the battery went flat! haha
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Well, I certainly understand why they need separate buses. However, in most cars the CAN Bus implementation is bidirectional. So, it is not necessary to separate transmit and receive. And, case in point VW doesn't have a separate transmit and receive for their CAN Bus connection to the factory head unit. They use CAN Bus Low Speed and CAN Bus High Speed.

Have you tried connected CAN Tx to it? Maybe the Chinese don't know how to represent High Speed and Low Speed without those fancy squiggly lines. (loljk)

lol A little over dramatic are we? I've been at this thing for over 30 years. I'm at a point where I don't have any allegiance to any computer, os, company, or whatever. To me computers are just a tool. And there just happens to be better tools for different things. The importance to me is less about how it is done but whether output is to my liking and intuitive to achieve. I like the diversity or it all and like to think that even in my old age that I'm able to keep up with the different technologies.

Ah, but can you actually communicate with it? That would be the test. Just because it shows up as FTDI, it doesn't mean its authentic. ;)

Sure, sometimes I go to Connects2 or Paser.IT.

Bah. Car Radio Illumination is the bane of my existence. I know this sounds unprofessional but if it isn't obvious, I'll try to convince people you don't need it. lol Here's the problem. The Illumination for the Android units are typically ON or OFF. Sometimes they dim the display to a set lumen and others switches colours around. But, there is usually no in between so "dimming" is ignored. Unless you can find the schematics to the other end of the connection above, I have no idea.

There are actually three wires for your car's Illumination; Detent, Ill+, and Ill-. If I would make a guess you would connect the Illumination wire from the AN-21U to the Detent. But, again, I would use a multimeter to check what each one actually does. My guess, DETENT supplies voltage so the light is on / off whereas Ill+ and Ill- are probably looped into a variable resistor which allows the bulb dim in the factory unit.

You gotta love how there is no standards in auto manufacturing. At one point, I had to contract someone to make a circuit which flipped a relay at a customizable voltage setting to turn on and off the switch to the Illumination wire on a 3rd party head unit. It cost them just to $75 make it . lol I think it was a waste of time and effort which is I normally tell people to go fsck themselves if they push me to use it. Especially, since you can use tasker to the same thing using time as the state.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
I know my car (Saab) has I-Bus+ and I-Bus- connections, I don't know exactly what + and - mean (if it's the equivalent of Rx and Tx), but I don't think it has anything to do with speed, since the different speed networks in the car are differentiated by letter (I for the slower non essential data). I know the stock radio does two way communication since it has an external display for radio frequency but also receives steering wheel controls. Though my car is an early model without a full CANBUS system.
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
lol ! I might leave the cable disconnected then.

One other quick question. Does the unit completely power off when you turn off the ignition? the reason why I ask is (and I am not sure if this is the right logic to follow) while its plugged into the 12V battery (black to negative and yellow with red to positive), when I disconnect RED which is ignition, I would have thought that the unit turns off since the ignition is not connected but the buttons are still lit up (yes the screen is off). Or does the ignition wire actually send some signal from the car once its all hooked up and the radio simply knows its either on or off?

thanks
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Main power is sent over the yellow wire (you will notice on most radios that it is thicker than the rest, other than the black ground wire), this wire receives a constant 12V regardless of if the car is on or off, this allows for presets to be remembered, the time and several other settings that aren't permanently saved. The red wire is just used to sense when the car is on (it will receive 12V for the duration the car is on), this allows the unit to power on to a full powered on state automatically without having to press the power button every time you start the car.

On a lot of these android units they have a delay to shutting off, when the red wire stops receiving 12V (normally it only has to drop below 9-10V and not even to 0V) the screen will shut off instantly, but the rest of the system will remain powered on for about 5-10 seconds, if in this time period the red wire received 12V again the system turns the display back on and all is good, this allows for the unit to not have to fully reboot when starting your car (often the starter motor will cause enough of a voltage drop that it causes the red wire to receive less than 9V during the cranking process), unless your car is not properly tuned up and cranks for an extended period of time.

By the way, there's a new Tomtom version: 1.4
[Android Head-Units] roystervi:
My IGO use to be off a couple of feet. I find out on the latest ver. of igo it has the options to use tomtom maps. the default when I install was tomtom, after I switch the maps from tomtom its working just right.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Hmmm. Can you elaborate on that ? Because actually, there's no way to do a 1:1 map run from TT to Igo. The Map structure is completly different.

What is correct (and I thought you meant this at first) is TT has bought Teleatlas, and TT sells Teleatlas maps FOR Igo. But as far as I know, Igo can NOT use "real" TT maps. (but it CAN use special Igo maps that use Teleatlas maps as source). As far as I know, my Igo runs exactly these Teleatlas-based maps now, and still there's a clear difference between TT and Igo in terms of precission/current location on the map.

If I'm wrong about this , please educate me. Old and crummy as I am, I still love to learn. :D

Last version of Sygic is 14.7.0, maybe that works better.
[Android Head-Units] roystervi:
I was having the same problems of car turning the corner and I have not turn the corner as yet. after searching on Google and was in an forum someone said I might have the wrong map selected. Look at the 2 picture attach of my unit. when your in settings you will see " SELECT MAP PROVIDER" when you click on SELECT MAP PROVIDER then you can choose to use tomtom maps or navteq maps. I am using NAVTEQ MAPS so if I select TOMTOM MAPS then my GPS will be a couple of feet off like I was having. while driving on the surface road, IGO was showing I was on the highway also my car turn a corner on the map but I haven't reach the corner.

I am using NAVTEQ MAPS june 2014, other people has said tomtom maps work best but I have not try tomtom on igo primeo. My igo work just just fine, now I am running 2014 maps. the only problem but not a problem is Igo gps is 3mph off my car actual speed.

I have TTS engine install with British voice, with TTS voice install I have all the extra setting enable on IGO. like voices saying red light ahead, children in the area, you can increase speed ahead, speed limit is 40mph please slow down, who over the speed limit please slow down. with TTS engine install every time I am in my car I turn on IGO and have it running in the background. I have made my own red light and speed cam and police trap in the Florida area. I can be blasting my music but igo will mute my music then announce the warning.

Yes your right IGO TTS voice miss the mark but to me a warning is a warning. ex. it will say Fiesta DOVE instead of Fiesta drive.
[Android Head-Units] roystervi:
Reading your comment once more time I needed to add this.... I have never try to run TT on IGO but all I can say, in the settings as the picture shows. If you are using one map and the right map provider is not selected then your gps might be off. I had that problem until someone pointed that out to me. I hope the 2 picture I added will explain more if I am not explaining it good enough.

a Google search of "can I use tomtom maps on IGO" have mix answer. some say it can't but others say they are using TT maps on igo.

below is what I got from a forum

This is what you can do. Download one of the primos from the program section. Then, in the iGo maps section you will see the tomtom maps there. Most updated one i think. Place them in the right folder and you should be good to go. I tried it and had no problems, but i prefer the iGo maps instead of TT.

Let me know if this helped you.
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Hmm.

First of all, of course you helped me. I love new angles on existing issues, that way I learn new stuff everyday.

I forget more than I learn, which is both good and bad. :)

Or better said, after a while I start DOUBTING what I "know", and so I must occasionally refresh my stuff.

This subject is no different.

That being said : I do not have that menu item in my Igo Primo 2. (ver9.6.29.329069). When I look at your screenshot, it looks more like a Primo 1/Igo 8. What version does it carry ? I know Igo is highly configurable over the sys file and I've got some knowledge about it, so I wouldn't surprise me one bit my sys file prohibits that menu you're talking about. In fact, I've never seen it pop up after "8" revisions of Igo. It's definitly worth looking into, but it would help if I'd know what version you're using, and a dump of your sys file could be very interesting too.

Anyhow, I found a new Teleatlas (call it a TT map if you want) map for my that runs under my Igo version and it seems to work better.

Ah : maybe an odd question, but how do you know for sure your NAV shows you a wrong speed and not your speedometer ? My dad's got a Ford Fusion (a Fiesta for Old People :) ) and he sees the same issue, I've driven Fords for a larger part of my life, and I know the Sppedometer of all my Fords were somewhat optimistic, showing speeds 7 to 8 km/h higher than they actually were. My local Ford dealer confirmed this too as "Typical Ford Behavior" ... although I know a lot of other car manufacturers show this behavior too.

About this subject : our national car driver's organisation did a test in 2005 : 57% of all tested cars show an "optimistic" speed that was 5 km/h than reality at 50 km/h. The higher the speed became, the worser the deviation became. At 120 km/h (the max speed allowed on our highways) nearly half of the tested cars ran at 108 km/h in reality.

Since then I've seen a recent test on recent Ford Fiesta's : a typical Ford Fiesta turns out to have deviation of roughly 4 to 8 km/h at 120 km/h. Before anyone cries "yeah but it's a Ford" : An Audi A3, costing nearly 3 times as much as your typical Fiesta, shows EXACTLY the same deviation. :)

[Android Head-Units] roystervi:
did you find the latest igo from mikeshadow repo?
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Yup. But I won't be playing with it for some time to come due to circumstances beyond control which have forced me to re-prioritize stuff, meaning I now have officially no "me time" anymore. Long story short : the house of my mother-in-law was badly damaged by fire a couple of days ago. She's living with us for the time being and she's a doll, but you can imagine one has to change the time tables for nearly everything with one extra person in the house.

PS :

One thing I noticed this week : I placed Igo on an SD card instead of running it from the units' internal memory. It's a high-speed "Ultra" card, and I tried to see how great the impact on loading/launching Igo would be when I switched the SD-speed settings to full. YIPES. Igo launches in 1/3th of the time it needed when being launched from the internal memory. I've not seen anyone reporting much or anything at all regarding this setting and the result of it, but I can tell you the difference is quite remarkable.

Touch Display +DVD Issue

Hello shadowmike,

In reference to post #5424 .

I am having the same problem that you had regarding the touch screen.

I had nearly given up on this unit and had ordered one of the Huifei units. It turns out that the Huifei was not to my liking as the wifi was crap ,the radio sound quality was well below expected, also there were too many other annoyances due to poorly designed gui that made the unit seem clunky.

Anyhow I was wondering if you could help me restore my touch screen as it is behaving as yours was.

My unit is identical to yours (even purchased from the same seller) . Ironically enough my touch screen problems started after applying an update from the seller!

From that point on the seller has stopped communicating with me and I am stuck with a near useless hu.

Could you provide me with the appropriate files needed to restore my unit?

I am not certain if my MCU is also not correct as my DVD does not work and shows as "unknown"

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

RE Touch Screen

Hello shadowmike,

Thanks for the response.

I have tried the files that you have linked to me..... but unfortunately the problem persists. I have tried using the reset hole on the unit as well as a factory restore via the setting menu. Nothing I've tried seems to re-enable the proper touch screen sensitivity.

Do you have any other recommendations?

Re seller

Yes it seems they have nothing for sale. Also annoying that their update is what killed my touch screen in the first place!

Ps strange behavior with this post.
