I had the same problem too on a couple of my Android devices. If you check the directory for /data/data/com.google.android.gms and it has any soft links that point to a missing set of directories that starts with "mismatched_uid". This means the new update has mismatching yet compliant signatures which cannot be applied over the previous update.

Simply go into Google's Settings app and uninstall Google Play Services. Make sure the /data/data/com.google.android.gms and all of its sub-directory are gone and you can download the new version from Google Play without problems.

Dash

I sent the developer a message requesting to add USB OBD support for this app. I would LOVE to be running this on our unit. Much more useful and visually pleasing than Torque. Maybe if we all bombard them with the requests it will be something easy they could add. But then again I'm no programmer and have no clue how hard it is to add such support.

if I reverse gear the inlay it switches to my camera image,thats ok but:

There is a possibility that the Poweramp music to play it and not paused when I use the reverse gear

I must then always go back to play,that annoying:crying:
[Android Head-Units] djblaze852002:
I think there is a setting in the sound preferences or the "extra" preferences to mute sound when shifting in reverse. Perhaps turning that off will not pause your music...

Donaldta, my .68 minimal only had two files.. why did you not mention this version? Where did it come from? It did not break my GPS
[Android Head-Units] Mancubus99:
The downgrade to .23 and upgrade to .68 seems to have fixed my GPS. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I wasn't aware such a version existed. Have you checked if the two of the files in your version are equivalent to ones in the 4 file version?

You're welcome.

I am a bit upset atm with this unit. I can not for the life of me get sygic to work without an internet connection. CoPilot is the same way and NavFree is just not on par with those 2 offerings. I have also tried iGo but it too went hay-wire and have not taken the time to reinstall it. I am still having really bad wifi connection and throughput issues, which makes the issue worse as it takes all freakin day to download updates, maps etc. BTW I own the North America Lifetime version of Sygic and it was all working on Saturday, but this morning when I was on my way to work the dang thing required an internet connection to do license validation. Since I do own a legal copy of the software I have no qualms about using a cracked copy to get this back up and running. I even tried to reinstall the version that came with the unit 13.1.1(copy the Sygic folder from my extSD card to the SDCard folder then install the APK.), but it too requires activation and updating now.

Anyone got a solution that might work?
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
CANBUS!?

Okay, first of all I freely admit I know nothing about cars or hooking up a system so I'm going to have it professionally installed. Last time I had my navigation installed, an overly expensive pos locked down jvc That is slowly crapping out on me, the installer didn't install a lot of things properly such as the backup camera and the automatic light sensor that I use to automatically turn on my headlights (there was a setting to turn the unit to night mode automatically based on the sensor but he didn't hook up the wire).

With that being said I want to be caful with knowing what all this system should do if it is installed correctly. I don't know what a CANBUS is but I have an idea with what is doe so my questions are. Do all of these units work with CANBUS'S if the vehicle is compatible? Do all of these systems come with a CANBUS adapter? Can you buy a universal adapter if it doesn't come with one? Is that even how it works? Is a 2004 Ford explorer xlt even CANBUS compatible? Anyways I know I'm dumb about these things and half my questions might not make any sense but thanks in advance for any of them that might get answered,

I gave up on sygic; in process of getting refund on unit...will re-purchase and not change versions or do factory reset

BUT- in the meanwhile, I installed CoPilot, and that is working fine w/o data connection.

been bouncing back and forth between .62 and .70.

rooted.
[Android Head-Units] kschumake83:
CoPilot works great for me also, I don't know if it just updates its licences when I do have a connection as in every time I get home or warm up my car waiting to leave. I have been using it for about 2 weeks now and have not had any issues.
[Android Head-Units] goolac:
sounds like we have been marching on the same road... So far I am sure my unit is fine, just issues with these GPS softwares. When I get home tonight I will allow the copilot to download the maps etc. and see where that gets me.

this sounds very promising to me!

As long as I can get one working, then I can play with the others all I want.

BTW I went back to .62 I like having the dock at the bottom rather than the quad windows.

External 2 Internal SD

Just ran into this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext&hl=en

Could be another solution for music storage on ext card... Thought I'd pass it along

(Untested since -as we all know - I only have a nice looking door stop at this time)
[Android Head-Units] ecoast:
if I recall, you have to download 2 osm files for system, a voice file, and at least one map.

I think once you get the necessary components, it will no longer need data.

Xposed framework modules

I have tested a few XPOSED Framework modules and so far have gotten great results! Here is a Summary of what I have found:

App Settings - Previously mentioned in this thread, App Settings allows you to change DPI settings on a per-app basis.

TabletMetrics - This module makes apps think our unit is a 7" tablet. This allows for unlocked features in the spotify app, since tablet users are able to select and play specific songs. After installing this module, my unit rebooted to a black screen. Rebooting again seemed to fix things. Once I opened spotify again, I noticed that the text was obnoxiously large. I then used the App Setting module to change spotify's DPI to 200. Now everything looks great! I havent seen if this module affects any other app in any other way positive or negative. I will report back if I find any issues.

Music2SD - Allows Google Music to pin playlists to the external SD card! After installing and selecting the external SD location, then pinning a playlist, I experienced a few "white screen" crashes while my unit was navigating, playing music, and downloading pinned songs all at the same time. Now that the playlist has finished downloadingI haven't experienced any problems. Once I install my USB hub I will see if it is possible to set a USB hard drive as the Google Music location, unless someone wants to try it?
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
Thanks, good finds,

Noted for when I resurrect my unit...

I too am wondering about the external USB drive... I see one of those fulfilling all my storage needs...

i may be able to shed some light, my VW Amarok has canbus and the head unit i replaced was an aftermarket unit running windows CE and branded OPAL (Over Priced ALert!) it had canbus built into the headunit so when the car was turned off it turned off, the heater controls when changed showed on the head unit and the reverse camera on off signal came from canbus.

now i have installed the Android unit the radio will not turn off with ignition and the reverse camera wont work - easily fixed found the signal for the reverse lights hooked it up to the radio and cool reverse camera works!

however the power off and the display of the temperature changes (not important to me) is canbus dependent, i contacted the seller and have a canbus adaptor on its way and will post pics once i have it however they did say they are vehicle specific maybe you could email the ebay seller - star_carradio and let them know your vehicle make etc

incidentally the install for these is very simple dont be afraid to try it just make sure you disconnect the battery!!
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
I ended up getting this C2R-FRD1 wiring harness that "interprets" various signals out of the databus of my Ford and sends them to analog wire outputs that are easily matched to aftermarket radios such as the AN-21 U. Here's their description:

The C2R-FRD1 is an essential installation accessory for select 2005+ Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicles with

MSCAN databus radios. Using this interface will enable factory features such as rear seat entertainment

of the C2R-FRD1 include data bus driven retained accessory power (RAP), vehicle speed sensor (VSS)

output, illumination, reverse output, parking brake output and a 5 volt regulated amp turn on for factory

installed subwoofers.

It sounds like the seller is sending you something like what I have, but instead of bare wires it has the proprietary plug that fits in these units. Can I ask what your selling is charging? I spent about $70 for this one when I originally installed my Pioneer radio.
[Android Head-Units] ackyo:
Sure $38 usd however I just got a message due to the Chinese New Year I will not get it shipped until the 12 Feb
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
By chance are you two referring to the links which point to "callcut.eu.org" from the inital post and the wiki page? If so, I noticed that there's an error stating, "The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later." So, many of the graphic and download links are broken.

For the graphics on the wiki page, it is better to upload it to the XDA's Wiki Image repository than to link it from an external site that has a limit on bandwidth.

Got CoPilot USA ($9.99 play store) working and WOW. After downloading it and getting it to download the maps sure enough it does NOT require a connection to the internet.

I was able to get full paid version of Sygic to work thanks to my wifi now working correctly turns out you have to load it ...update it... then download the maps and extras.. THEN here is the kicker there is another update/supplemental download that must be done before the software is ready to go into OFFLINE mode. Sure enough I was able to use it on the way into work with no issues this morning. Now I have to decide which I like best...oh wait. I can just have BOTH!!! LOL!

Side note my internet sucked with this unit till I put a wifi repeater between my Asus RT-N66U and my car (70 feet ish.) The repeater is an asus RT-N13U and has a hardware switch to turn it into a repeater and now my radio is downloading 100m files in less than 3 minutes!!! Much improved over the 4+ hours i had been taking. I think that this has something to do with the way my main router handled the side channels for the 'n' spec. Needless to day I owe my unit an apology...

Difference?

Hi all,

i'm getting ready to buy one similar to the one the op posted:

ebay item=161171522743

though i saw this one that looks better:

ebay item=111189069622

though its hard to tell what the difference is. Are they the exact same? Would i also be able to root the secondary linked item following the same procedure as the one the op covered?

Anyone have any experience or insight on the difference of the 2 units, if they are the same or different?
[Android Head-Units] djblaze852002:
The second one is NOT the one being discussed in this thread. If you look in the description it is running Android 2.3.4 NOT android 4.1 I suggest buying the first one.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
The second is the OUKU discussed here android 2.3 unit.

There is a unit that looks just like it with the same internals as the ones discussed here (I have that one) look for an android 4.1 unit that looks like that one...

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

here is a capacitive screen 4.1 unit like that one:

[Android Head-Units] p64imp:
thanks!

i wonder if this is also the same:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...Navigation-audio-Radio/714323_1570938341.html

almost $100 less than the one on ebay... think its too risky?
[Android Head-Units] jonalowe:
Look at shipping. $140 to US.
[Android Head-Units] p64imp:
$47 actually,

i got 1 step from completing the order with:

All Total: US $323.80

Though i've never heard of aliexpress.com or alibaba.com before. Nervous to complete the order, though it looks to me like all these units come from China which means that either i settle for ebay (which i detest) or some other un-conventional channel unless you guys know of any other legit venue to get one?
[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
All the units will come from China regardless of where you buy them.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
Seems like the same as some other people have here... About the same as mine but different buttons layout and volume knob on the right...

Where did you see that?
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
As already discussed, "no". They are different units. You might want to read the Wiki Generic Android Head Units to be able to figure it out on your own.

However, if you want that specific faceplate then check these seller listings for each of the Android variants based on the CPU with the same faceplate; Mstar MST786, Samsung S5PV210, Freescale i.MX535, Allwinner A10.

No, since that one is Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) you can get away with Framaroot to gain root access.
[Android Head-Units] jonalowe:
Hmm, on my phone it says $140. On my computer, $47. Weird.
[Android Head-Units] sciallo:
those are online sales for chinese resellers... Chinese versions of amazon or whatever. They take payment and release it to sellers once you receive the unit. A few people here have purchased through similar venues, they do have some customer protection policies, though probably not as good as ebay...

I havent used any as of yet... Feedback anyone else?
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I'd double check the listing with the reseller. The specs are not quite right. It says it has a FREESCALE I.MX535D but that's a Single Core Cortex-A8 processor NOT a dual Cortex A9. So, either they have the CPU wrong or the Android version is incorrect. Also, usually when there's a huge discrepancy between prices that usually means certain options are not the same, i.e., capacitive vs resistance, included digital tv tuner or none, or internal memory capacity is different.
[Android Head-Units] p64imp:
Yeah, if anyone has used them to purchase this unit feedback would be appreciated. Considering purchasing though a little wary. The price is certainly right...

Also, from the op's YouTube clip he mentioned the phone mic wasn't good. I read reviews that the phone mic is horrible, and nearly UN-usable. Can anyone else corroborate this?
[Android Head-Units] kschumake83:
This is sort of an on/off topic question. I am looking at the same router as you to replace my crappy old fried out e1000, but the e1000 will easily hit my car at 70+ feet away and still have 2-3 bars. Does your n66u have to go through any interference? I have an e3200 in my living room, but it does not seem like that much of an upgrade from the e1000 so I have been looking at the Asus n or ac 66u. Would you recommend it or no? I say its a partially on topic question as we all, for the most part need long range WiFi for these units.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
If it is any help, I have the newer RT-AC68U and it can reach my neighbors driveway with a couple bars to spare.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

There are quite a few people in this thread and many others that have used Alibaba and AliExpress. But, you should not judge the entire site by one reseller. It is very much like eBay, where the individual reseller should be judged separately. You're actually purchasing a head unit at a bad time. I suggest you wait a bit for the Lunar New Years festivities to be over and make your purchase mid February. No sense to rush into a purchase that you're uncomfortable in making right now only having to wait just as long anyways to get it.

There are units which have the ability to use an external microphone and those that don't there have been some good and bad stories about people replacing the internal one with an external mic. If it is important to you, you can always contact the reseller to make sure this option is available to you. You'd be surprised at the lengths these business will do to make a sale.
[Android Head-Units] p64imp:
Thanks for the info. On your quote above i guess i dont really understand the holiday. Do the post offices shut down or get overrun? It'd really put a 2 week delay on it if i ordered it today?
[Android Head-Units] goolac:
Yes I have a ton of walls and items between the rt-n66u personally I would go with any of the AC versions but my friend just got the rt-ac68u and he is having amazing throughput. I can get a signal at the end of my driveway from the rt-n66u. The signal does not seem to be an issue as I parked my car on the side of the house where the router was leaving just one wall and 10 feet to my car and I had great signal but no throughput. Since Linksys got bought out by Belkin (happened last April 2013) the new Linksys products are just repackaged Belkin routers at a higher price. Not bad quality but for the money. I would NOT purchase a rt-n66u again. From here on out I will only get the AC versions.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
It is pretty much a madhouse. But, a fun one as long as you do not need to get any business done. Here's an article, "11 things to know about Lunar New Year", that give you an rough idea. Before you say, "its not even January 31st yet", keep in mind that most people take a few days (even a week) off prior to get ready for it. You can check Post #1572 as an example.

Besides, you probably would be more comfortable buying the head unit that you've been looking at from eBay with the AN-21U's Mstar786 processor.

Challenge

I have a challenge for everyone about the new updated version of this nav system (the WD8801 Android 4.04 on a Samsung Exynos 4412 1.7GHz Quad-Core Coretex A9 with 2GB of DDR3 Ram unit) that could be mutually beneficial. Please give the link a gander if you know more than I do about international shipping.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49849133&postcount=36
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
That's not an "updated version of this nav system" that one is made by a different manufacturer. It has different and yet to be confirmed specifications.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
I didn't mean version number 2.0, I mean updated as in they are both pure android double din navigation systems and this one claim to have double the specs in about every category. The fact that it hasn't been confirmed is why I think it'll be beneficial to everyone. You guys finally found a sucker to take the risk and test it out so you guys don't have to. I just need help making sure I don't get scammed by an international seller.

Drakey83
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Why do you need help with that ?

Use payapl or a credit card and youre protected.

Youre no more or less likely to "get scammed" by an international seller than you are by a US one.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
Well I don't have any credit card because I don't use them and I read that using a debit card isn't nearly as safe. I also haven't found a retail store that offers that unit at my price point that offers PayPal payment. I'm also not saying international shipping is any more dangerous, I just don't know what stores are reputable and I feel like it would be hard to resolve any issues with an international seller because of the language barrier. Im comfottable with buying from amazon or ebay because I know that if i had a problem I would be able to adequately explain my issue to amazon or ebay without the language being a barrier. I'm also confused if I would have to pay import taxes or would that be included in the sales price.
[Android Head-Units] kschumake83:
Thank you guys for the advice and I really appreciate it, although I have absolutely nothing that has an AC card in it and even though I heard the processor in the 68 is awesome, I can not justify the extra $100 or so at the moment because I just dropped $300 on this stereo. The n66u is only $124.99 on amazon so I am really leaning toward that one seeing as AC is just a draft at the moment. This router will also only be used as an access point and once the AC standard is finalized I may go that route when I replace my e3200.
[Android Head-Units] pgarrity18:
Regarding the "pop" you here when the unit is turned on, I suspect it might have something to do with the amp remote voltage. I drive a Lincoln Mark LT which has the Ford audiophile system (2008) and the stock amp requires 5V to the amp remote. I believe this unit, as is typical with most aftermarket stereos, outputs 12V. I ordered a converter to fix this and I will update when I get it installed to let you know if it fixes the problem. Perhaps everyone who has this problem has an amp that requires 5V to the amp remote like the ford. Here is crutch fields description of the issue...
