Hi all,

I have few questions regarding the AN21U:

1) What is the /cache directory for? I can see the 4 FW files inside which I can't delete without the root permissions. Is this directory used as a backup of the original FW in case of reset to factory settings? If not in /cache directory, where are the original FW files backed up? I want to save them.

2) The unit came installed with the following versions: MCU: 4.3.1-7-10-6501, System: 2.7.22. I have the unit for few months now and in these few months, for some reason, the unit went to the factory state by itself. All the apps were deleted and all the settings were reset to the factory ones. Does this happen to anyone else?

3) I have iGO installed and every now and then, when I enter the application, it asks me to set it up again like it was the first time that I am running it - you know, setup the language, units, .... Does this happen to anyone else? What could be the reason/fix for this?

Thanks

sys.txt

Hi mines was doing that until I add a SYS.TXT file to igo root folder. every time I use to start IGO it would ask me for language and to setup my area again. since I added the sys.txt file it stop asking to setup all the time. however if I remove my SD car and start the radio w/ the sd car in the next time I restart IGO it will ask me to do a setup again. the trick is to never start ur radio w/ the Sd card with the map not in the radio.

I try to upload a copy of my sys.txt file. or PM me if U want me to email U a copy of my sys.txt file
[Android Head-Units] shadowmike:
So your saying you copied your maps to the external sd card ?

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[Android Head-Units] roystervi:
yes my map is on my ext SD card

My until came with IGO install I delete that one because I found a latest version on a torrent site.

I copy the IGO folder to my SD card then I install IGO apk. I choose "install SD" not just install but install sd this will save space on your unit because the IGO folder and all its map, poi and other files are about 2gig.
[Android Head-Units] shadowmike:
That's what I thought wanted to make sure.

I just deleted all the maps I will never need. I keep it on the unit just for this reason. I constantly remove the sd card so I can't have anything installed on it. If I need a movie for the kids, I pop in the sd or if I'm transferring a file to the radio.

I hate when apps automatically install on my phone sd card, when I remove it for the radio they disappear, so annoying

One day I'll have the setup I want of a computer, router and mobile hotspot that way everything is connected all the time.

What size SD you have in anyway?.....

and if your not using the 3G dongle like I am then plug a usb thumb drive in it and add your movies that one instead of your micro DS card.

Go back to the 1st page of this treat it has the spec and I think you can use an ext HDD as big as 1T but it will need power.

I do the same in mines..what I do I use firefox and add a plugin to download videos from youtube to mp4. So all my music is videos...its cool for the ladies lol

use the plugin in firefox to download ur movies too from youtube its already coated for our unit.
[Android Head-Units] shadowmike:
Its a HIGH SPEED 16GIG camera sd

I have a YouTube downloader on my phone with unlimited data on tmo so I also download music videos and videos for the kids

My 3g dongle that came with the unit is also a sd drive. I just don't have a dedicated card for it.

I see ur in trouble then ... if that person stole ur radio then he will visit you again to see if you replace it and when he see replace he might come back for another.. I hookup my gear shift ones to a stunt gun because someone was moving my car... short story I found out who it was lol
[Android Head-Units] shadowmike:
Yeah, I assume who ever it was, already came back, my column was peeled about 2 months later. Since then, I have moved my parking spot to under the window of where I always am. So I always keep an eye on the car.

I live in apartments above store fronts. So I just park on the lit up street, instead of the dark ass parking lots.

It didn't help that the parking lot is also used for the bar at the corner.

I am starting to get really annoyed by my unit. radio reception and I can't fix it. Additional antenna power adapter is installed.

But more annoyingly: Every once in a while, at least once a week, Spotify somehow looses the connection to the downloaded songs being available for offline play on my external SD Card. Anyone got the same problem? How to fix? Google Play Music did somehow not have this problem, but stopped playing after each song, so not a problem solver either .....
[Android Head-Units] kaween:
Do you have a BC6 installed in your unit (check your MCU version in case of doubt and post it). If not, you'll have to upgrade your BC module (dlzz74 has them on offer at the moment).

If you have a BC6, pairing it is really straightforward : you'll see the OBD BT interface in your BT device list, you tap it, the radio will react by a question about what type of device it is, specifically asking if it's an OBD device. Select OBD, ready -as far as the BT story goes-.

After that, start torque and it should nearly immideatly pick up on the BT OBD interface (unless you changed something regarding the default values that Torque comes with).

thanks ... the car is 2012 Kia Rio so fairly new.

the car has SWC + and SWC - wires so not sure which option to do :

1. hook up CANBUS wires from the radio to the car SWC wires (again, which wire to which ? SWC+ to CANBUS TX and SWC - to CANBUS RX?

2. hook up KEY-1 to cars SWC + and ground to cars SWC -

3. get a PAC adapter - in which case, which wires on the radio do I connect to it, the CANBUS ones or the Steering wheel KEY ones?

thanks for any help in advance!

[Android Head-Units] jakejm79:
The 2012 Kia Rio uses a resistive system for SW controls, I would go with option 2, though you may only need to connect SWC+ to KEY-1.
[Android Head-Units] donaldta:
I think the that you're getting a black screen while in reverse because the low level module that switches between the camera input and the android system. You might try plugging something that provides video over RCA to the camera input to test that. As for the parking sensor app, it is possible that the CAN BUS box is malfunctioning or it cannot understand the output. You might want to check the logcat messages to get a better idea of the problem.

According to your M11-B pinouts the SWC wires are #'s 4 & 17. It looks like its uses similar connections as the 2010+ KIA Sportage, so I would suspect that its also using an analog (resistive) protocol.

But, since you don't know for sure. this is how I would figure it out. Grab a multimeter and connect its positive lead to pin 4 then the negative lead to a ground like the car's chassis. Set the your multimeter to measure voltage and while the car is on press and hold down your SWC buttons for a few seconds. If you get different voltages measurements per button then your car is analog voltage protocol. Then do the same thing while tapping the the positive lead of the multimeter to #17 to see if it uses one or two signal wires. If you don't get any measurements at all separately then connect the positive lead to #4 and the negative lead to #17 and check for voltage measurements.

If you don't get any voltages switch the multimeter to test for resistance. Basically go through the same steps as above. If you get a clear measurement then your car is using a analog resistance protocol. If you get clear voltage or resistance readings then you'd use KEY1 & KEY2 wires appropriately from the AN 21-U. Think of these two wires as separate Multimeter positive leads which is measuring the changes in the different wires.

If you do not get either voltage or resistance readings then your car is using a digital protocol, most likely CAN BUS and you'd connect them to the CAN BUS wires. If I would hazard a guess + would probably be TX (transmit) and - would be RX (receive) or vice versa. The other question about connection is whether or not the CAN Bus module in side the AN 21-U understands the messages for your car.
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
hi guys, thank u for the replies. I will have a play and see what happens. I assume I cant damage the radio by hooking up the wrong wires ?

Also, another update. I received the unit but the seller made a mistake and sent me one with resistive screen!!!! I hooked up the unit to a battery source and it works very nicely but I can see I have to use my nail to drive it. Using just fingers is ok but I have to apply bit pressure and it can be bit of a hit and miss.

Thing is, its a nightmare to send the unit back and get replacement so can someone please tell me, how much better is the capacitive screen ? is it worth the hassle going through the exchange which will prob take a month or so? thanks in advance.

and lastly, few more visual questions :

1. the unit has this horrible main menu with the 4 items on each screen that are animated (radio, music, Nav etc) and it just looks ugly. Is there a way to change the buttons or is it hardcoded ?

2. How can I select car logo for start up ? cant see anything in settings.

3. Is there a different animation I can have on startup vs Android?

thanks!
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
My unit read the contacts I have stored on Google, except it copied them 3 times. Phone is a HTC One X.

The main page has been updated correctly for rooting, I need to change the Wiki too. You can probably use a terminal emulator or file manager to delete the file, but given the slowness of the device during rooting, it's not fun. You still need to install the superuser APK file, so yes you need to download the rar file containing this if you don't have it.

I going to make another video showing the cleaner process soon.

20 seconds rather than 40, but I get your point. The camera works even if Android is not booted.

I agree, the ADW one only works properly with a few widgets, changing their font size etc, some it just changes the amount of the widget that is shown.

It uses that much when on too, so it probably just turns the screen off. Although it does seem to do something different than turning the screen off, not sure how to explain this, you would have to try it to see what I mean.

That unit looks to be the same hardware as this thread relates to. I believe the CPU information is simply copied from their old listing, and you will receive the correct A9 CPU.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Of course you can damage it, depends what you connect.

The capacitive screen is extremely good, despite the hassle, I think it will be worth it, especially if they pay for you to return it (which they should).

Hardcoded, just get a launcher to replace it like ADW.

As per my video, it's under Extra Settings, password in your manual, "123456".

Yes, you can add boot animations, have a look around the forum for how to do this.
[Android Head-Units] avgaz:
in the menu "Extra settings -> Model choose" is a model of sleep
[Android Head-Units] omarko:
I was afraid you will say that.

hmm ... not sure what to do now ...

The seller is hesitant to pay for shipping and it looks like it will be around $70 plus they have to pay more to get the new unit shipped back and I have a feeling this will just drag out.

The other option is I can buy another unit, apparently at big discounted price which he assured me will be capacitive and I can get that sent out in next few days. Thing is I would have to get rid of the other unit locally. Not sure how much I can get for it and how long it would take.

I hate waiting and just want to get this unit setup and going.

Lastly, can you please tell me more about this ADW? what is it exactly ? thanks. - EDIT - found it ... understand how it works but how can I have nice large icons (as even using the full version it only enlarges them 150%) which would also give ability to do things like change tracks etc... Is there no other pre-programmed user interface for car setup ?
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
When you say big discounted price, sorry to be so direct, but what price are they offering? As it may well be worth doing that.

ADW Launcher, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adw.launcher

Many skins, icon sets, etc available for it, very customizable, even the transitions between screens and stuff. You are sure to be able to find something that you like. Be careful though, you can spend hours messing around with all the little settings :p
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Ok, thanks, just got to decide which style front I want then, anyone know if the Ouku one comes with the option of red key lights ?

Anyone know whether the digital TV is an Android app or whether its part of the stereo board like the radio ?

I intend to use it to listen to digital radio (better quality than DAB) and I want a widget on the home screen, I also intend having widgets for Torque gauges and I want to be able to see the home screen whilst listening to it.

Dont think I could do that if the digital tv is not part of Android and has the same interface as the digital tv on non Android units. think I d have to add a DVB T dongle if I wanna do that.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Yes, Peter Chan said there are 7 LED colour choices for that style of front.

The app is Android, but it is just like the radio/music/iPod app etc. There is no widget for it. I am unsure if any other SDR applications will be able to see the tuner, I think it unlikely that they can.

For the cost of the DVB tuner upgrade, it is not worth it if you just want radio. You are far better off buying a USB tuner and using that, as someone mentioned earlier is this thread.

As for Torque, remember that Bluetooth adapters do not work yet, and USB ones are limited in compatibility, I cannot say which ones do and do not work, but someone else may be able to answer this.
