Hey guys, I really need some help, I'm pulling my hair out. I have been having problems with Torque Pro and data corruption, engine shows knock retard when it's not running, transmission temperature drops to -40*F randomly, all kinds of fun stuff. I've tried 2 Elmscan 5s, and a OBDLink SX with no success or change in behavior at all. I've also tried connecting it to the front and back of the head unit and through a powered USB hub. I've been monitoring the car via an OBD2 BT adapter and my old Droid X with no problem for a year, so I know it's not the car.

Also, I can't get Torque Pro to stop opening on startup, I'm rooted, and Startup Manager shows it disabled, but it still starts up every boot and has an external storage error because it opens before the SC card is mounted....Anyone have any ideas at all? I'm loosing my mind here, lol.
[Android Head-Units] bmj67:
I must have missed that topic somewhere in the 317 pages :laugh:

$80 is too much. Though to be honest Peter chan has higher prices on everything. He is selling the unit we have for $450 or more when all other sellers have it for around $300 shipped to the us.

So odds are once you find the right board it can be had for $20

Who has one of the units that obdII works on. Can you take the face off and get a hd picture of the bluetooth module to have a reference of what to look for.
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
what navigation software is everyone using? I want a good quality one but want to make sure it will work on the unit as I had few issues with some (e.g. I paid for it on google play store and when I tried to install it, it says SD card is locked or unable to access SD card)
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
More than likely.

Completely agree about the price, which is why I never bought it.

I would also be interested in a picture or two. I do believe that at least one person from this thread has purchased a unit with the "OBD extra".

I use iGO without any issues, but I believe Sygic works too.
[Android Head-Units] Cavalier Condorelli:
I have the same problem! I am trying to find out a solution. Someone a few post ago said he has made Torque a system App and than delayed start up through tasker. I haven't tried it yet cause I cannot find how to postpone boot of a system app in tasker....

That might have been me, and it didn't work. If I could get it to stop opening Torque Pro at boot (which for some reason I can't anymore), then the default USB program prompt poped up every boot.
[Android Head-Units] cat2115:
iGo find Sat better than Sygic. But my iGo does not speak at all. Not even a turn left/right and no street name announced. Now I use Sygic and street name announced.

My unit does not let me update to 2.7.4. After update, got red text "UI unauthorized, contract supplier"

Anyone know what UI?
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
This issue with iGO was mentioned and solved at the beginning of this thread.
[Android Head-Units] cat2115:
1. Is it set sound to Front Right? In the IGo Setting, my TTS Pro is gray out. this is my iGo that was in the unit

2. Do you or anyone know why only version 2.6.70 work on my unit? I updated .96 and mcu but time is wrong whenever i restart the car. 2.6.70 never had that issue. latest firmware cause my use to have red text on the top of the screen, UI unauthorized contract supplier.

Installed my unit today... my unit today... my DVD\CDs drive was dead... it would let me put in and eject the discs (with a loud clicking on eject),.but wouldn't play. Even trying to open the DVD player appeal was fruitless. Of all the times I tried, the DVD disc splash screen only opened once, but it said no disc in the corner and nothing happened. What should I do? I sent the seller a message, just waiting for a reply... has anyone else had this problem?

Yes, I took the 2 screws on top out...

Do you know the serial to USB chip manufacturer for you USB OBDII dongle, there are only a few that will work.

Someone mentioned previously that the Chinese were working on their own BT OBDII module that would be available in a few weeks for additional cost, that option you see may be used for that.
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
When I plug in the USB OBDII, Torque Pro reports that it sees "Generic FTDI USB to serial device (6001)". It's a generic ELM327 device I got from eBay.

As for head unit device info I see:

MCU 4.1.0-7-10-2501-1

Sys 2.6.60

DVD 2.13.12.2-860mc

CPU / RAM / DEVICE Identifier doesn't seem to recognize the CPU, It was guessing that it was some sort of Samsung CPU.
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
Have you tested the dongle on another android device? You are relying on Torque's 'native/in built' 'driver' for support for FTDI devices, according to the developer the app can be very picky about generic/replica devices.

I'd make sure you can get the dongle working on another android device and go from there.
[Android Head-Units] Defender666:
This unit was sold previously with resistive screen and single core. I guess they have still some cases floating around and now build it with the new board. Typical for many chinese companies to recycle old models with new internals. Doesn't look so bad.

If you can pair to the bluetooth with "OBD" command, then you are connected, thray Lanau App they send me, a few post back.

BTW:

This seems good version for right hand steering with the volume on the right.

Run srt app scanner and see if it is vulnerable to the master key bug. If it is move on the the system info app.

Click on apps and scroll down and see if you see a file called SettingsProvider click on it ans see what it says for source. The one we have is SettingsProvider.apk located in /system/app.

After that in system info app click on system, then hit menu and export system info. Find the log file using a file explorer and post the results. I will compare to my info file.

If all the hardware is the same and the SettingsProvider.apk is there I wouldnt see why the root app wouldnt work.

OUKU with snapdragon S4 ?

Hi,

does anyone know anything about this unit (FlyAudio)? My chinese is not good enough to understand a single word.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2kHYe6DCLU

I could see though it is like a variation of AN-21 U or OUKU with:

- Android 4.1

- CPU: Snapdragon S4 @ 1.2GHz

- RAM: 512Mb DDR4 ??

- NAND 8Gb

- TV Lvds83b

- RDS

- 3G/WCDMA

- LCD: 1024x600

- capacitive screen

It might be this company http://www.flyaudio.net/about.asp

but, I cannot find the model in their list.

Any word on your order? I have placed an order with ebay user "estorm_dvd" ended up being "Light in the box" when I went for payment. However I sent a message prior to placing my order asking if they had units in stock and whether the unit was compatible with Bluetooth or USB OBDII sensors. This was the reply

"Thanks for your message and interest.

Yes we do have them in stock. And yes it supports USB.

Best regards,

- estorm_dvd"

I am not holding my breath on the OBDII stuff, as others seem to still be working on it. I'm just hoping I see the order come through soon...
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
LOL, it supports USB....

What's this ODB you speak of?
[Android Head-Units] patrickoneal:
They sent another message today indicating that they would get it out "ASAP", and that they'd gladly cancel if it isn't shipped out by Thursday. At this point I'll wait it out, as I don't think I could find it at a price anywhere near what they're offering.

I am going to be upset if they end up sending one with a resistive screen or something after waiting this long. I'll keep you posted.

Others in this thread have indicated that at least one generic OBD-II to USB adapter is working with Torque Pro.
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
hi guys ... been sifting through the pages but really just got more confused.

Can someone help please?

I am looking for a double din head unit and came across this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-4-1...prg=1088&rk=4&rkt=5&sd=190966351335&#shpCntId

is this the right one to get with all the latests bells and whistles?

Also, how do I know if it will work with my car steering wheel controls and what do I need to make it work ? I hear someone say I need another device? My car is Kia rio UB S 2012 if that helps.

and few more questions:

how does the unit handle a usb stick with hundreds of folders and thousands of mp3s ? Is browsing through the folders fast? can I use the knob on the side to scroll down and up when the folders are listed? How quickly does it change between songs when you press Next ?

thanks for any advice in advance!
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
Yes, that is the one he is referring to. The only thing left really is to try to root it with the apk attached to Post #212.
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
Yeah, I figured that it will probably work, but I'm not completely caught up on reading the thread. I want to figure out the possible risks and weigh them against the benefits of being rooted.

Come to think of it, I always thought the main benefit of rooting was that it allowed sideloading of apps, but I can already do that. I'd like to be able to see my SD card so I can copy maps over directly instead of relying on the flakey wifi in my garage, but other than that, what else would I gain?

Thanks,

[Android Head-Units] booba5185:
I gave up on Torque Pro, no support, no help, no answers, no speed. I ended up going with Touchscan, which appears to work great, no extra PIDs yet but I emailed the developer (like that was a lot of help with Torque Pro). I still have the default USB device prompt after every reboot and I open the program (only when I open the program, not RIGHT at boot). I can't install the app as a system app, there is no apk, the app is a ZIP file. I've got threads on Scantool, Torque, and here. Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, ANYONE HELP ME??????
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
For "use by default" issue that you are having you can try a couple of things

1. Clear the data, cache, and defaults for the app itself

2. Download CleanMaster and clear the android cache all together.

After that, try it again and see if the selection sticks.
[Android Head-Units] booba5185:
I tried that with Torque Pro with no success, but I'll give it a shot with TouchScan just to see if it'll work. From what I've read, it's an Android issue with USB hosting, every time the device boots it'll assign a new device ID to USB device. Since Android sees the USB device as a new device, there are no defaults for it.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
That's weird cause I don't have this issue with TorquePro. It remembers my default selection and never pops up again. Maybe a factory reset is needed?
[Android Head-Units] booba5185:
Tried that with Torque Pro before with no success as well. I could only get Torque Pro to remember my selection when I installed it as a system app (Put the apk in \system\app ). Problem with that is Torque Pro opened before the sd card was mounted and had an external storage error, that alone doubled or tripled my boot time. I can't try installing TouchScan as a system app because it is not installed as an APK.

What version of the firmware are you running? I'm running .7.4, maybe I should downgrade?
[Android Head-Units] Cavalier Condorelli:
I had the issue of USB selection at startup but now it was solved even without making Torque a system app. What I cannot solve is autostart up at boot and the external storage problem and I don't know how to delay startup with tasker.. I'm running .7.4

Inviato dal mio LG-D802 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] booba5185:
I'm thinking that's because when the head unit starts up it recognizes the USB, and starts up Torque Pro when it does. For some reason (why? I don't know) Touchscan doesn't do this. Right now, I have Touchscan installed and I can boot up like normal, no error messages or anything. It's only when I (or tasker) open TouchScan that I get the default USB prompt. Then since that default USB prompt comes up, Touchscan opens behind it and has an error saying there is no OBD device detected (because Android hasn't granted USB permission to TouchScan yet).
[Android Head-Units] Prdie:
Hi all, I've got another problem. My iGO 9.6 is loosing settings and resetting to defaults intermittently. Data dir with sys.txt was on extsd1, I've even moved it to internal sdcard, but it went to defaults after several days again. It worked without problems for several months, but probably as I'm constantly updating to newer firmwares, it went broken. Has anyone experienced that ?

Is there a way not to turn off the radio when I switched off the reverse gear again? I would like to turn on the radio when I reverse

Inviato dal mio LG-D802 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
In General or in Extra Settings there is a setting Reverse Mute or something like that. If unchecked you'll still be able to listen to the radio, mp3s, etc.. while reversing.
[Android Head-Units] Cavalier Condorelli:
I found that option, thanks. But what I'm willing is to keep ON the Android car stereo after I switch off reverse gear.

This is how actually works:

1) The car stereo is OFF

2) I switch on the reverse gear

3) Back camera immediately switch ON

4) Android boots in background while the reverse camera is on

5) If I switch off reverse gear Android shut down and the car stereo turn OFF

And this is what I will:

5) Android car stereo remain ON after I switch off the reverse gear
[Android Head-Units] jblade1000:
can you explain how you solved it without making it a system app and why its autostarting at boot before external storage is mounted if it isnt a system app?
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
I never tried this but it seems that the reverse wire that is receiving the signal is powering up the unit. Are you saying that you want the unit to power on only when you are in reverse and stay on when you leave reverse? I don't quite understand the use case for this and why you want it to behave this way? The unit powers on when you start the car anyway, so what's the need for all this?

Not sure why the two firmware are different.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Not sure why my post is quoted, but hey.

Any chance you can post the APK you used?

I would try a factory reset, I had a similar issue but the reset sorted it.

Not that I know of yet.

Probably a different company/supplier modified the base firmware with their own tweaks and styling.

I think there are many suppliers that have their own "version" of this base firmware. Which is actually the most up to date is hard to say, the later version numbers may not always be the best.
[Android Head-Units] cat2115:
hmm,. could this be the reason why I cannot flash 2.7.4 firmware? After flashing I get red text on top saying, "UI unauthorized, contact supplier"
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Seems like a reasonable explanation.

Although I would be interested to know exactly what it is looking for to tell whether the UI is authorized or not. I suspect it may be part of an APK, in which case it may be easy enough to remove.

Does everything function as expected, except for the red text? Are you able to root?

I don't really know. But as I asked before without any help I was having a lot of folders permission issues. I solved in the following way and also the USB torque problem never occurs anymore.

1. Factory reset, USB unplugged

2. Installed 2.6.60 (the version that I found when I buy the Unit)

3. Updated to 2.6.77

4. Rooted

5. Updated to 2.7.4

6. Rooted again

7. Titanium restore of apps and app data

8. Plug Torque USB

9. Click yes to pop up with always checked

Now at every boot Torque start up without USB prompting but often with Storage not found error message.
