Try Llama location profiles. IMO it's better than Tasker (which I also own) since it does pretty much everything Tasker does but with a much simpler rules engine. I've been using it in 2 cars and on my phone for several years and it never fails me on any device. Also, it's free.

boot

friend

I have a problem in the boot Radio (Android 4.1).

There is a possibility factory reset?

What is the procedure?

OBD manual says that OBD acts as a router that you connect to. So if radio is connected to that router, it can't be connected to any other internet source.

still curious why tasker wouldn't work though
[Android Head-Units] chris.r.r:
Had the same impression first, but found out that my Tasker needs 10-15 additional seconds to startup... Maybe the unit is too busy at startup to start third-party apps immediately...

How can i find the MCU update files ?

If i take the files from the system update 2.6.77 and put on an SD Card. I go into the menu and select MCU Update but nothing happens after I press OK.

Can anybody help ?
[Android Head-Units] slovenskisin:
What is this unit like compared to the original rcd 510 (a vw unit) in terms of sound and picture quality? Are there any major drawbacks?

I bought this unit: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014...-For-VW-Golf-Passat-Polo-With/1567863984.html but from another seller. It was for sale for 99€ (135$). Is it worth it?

Thank you!

Edit: I still haven't paid. So I need to know if it is worth buying.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
IMHO, you would be crazy NOT to buy it if you found it for that price!
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
The MCU files will be located under /sdcard/etc/mcu/

Unzip the one you want to flash and put it onto the root of your external sdcard. Careful with your choice as the wrong one may wreck the functionality of buttons, bluetooth, and whatnot. I believe the first 3 digits or so represent the version, while the last 6 or so represent the model. So try to find one that matches the last 6 digits of the MCU you currently have installed.
[Android Head-Units] thchristensen:
My MCU Version is 4.0.6-1-10-0101 but there is no MCU software under sdcard/etc/mcu containing the 1-10-0101.

The files on SDcard/etc/mcu looks like this (see attached file)

Which one can I use ?
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
Hmmm... I’d double check with your vendor that they have at least a copy of the one that you currently have installed.

I (and a couple other users in this thread) are in the predicament where none of the available MCUs are an exact match so we are left with volume and seek knobs that function backwards. Luckily, this is manageable, but you might end up where something more important such as Bluetooth doesn’t work.

Is there something you hope to fix with a new MCU? I’m not sure that anyone has confirmed any improvements with newer version numbers.
[Android Head-Units] jblade1000:
I'm going to level with you. I was actually completely unaware that pressing the menu button while already in a menu actually brought up another menu, this worked for my needs. Thanks, I appreciate it.

My computer didnt install the drivers for the dongle, couldn't find them online, and therefore wouldnnt "activate"/show up as a "real" network adapter. Therefore ipconfig /all didnt reveal any info and In Device Manager it showed up as an "Other Network Adapter" and wasnt enabled/active due to the driver.
[Android Head-Units] tdt038:
If you want return version MCU 4.0.6-1-10-0101, you need to install firmware 2.6.60 and select the first model (VW) from menu "Extra settings> Model choose", then you can install the new firmware. I know that this is not the easiest way, but if you need ...

By the way, function "Shutdown delay" works with version MCU 4.2.7-11-10-6501, but then Bluetooth, volume and seek knobs don’t work. I believe that it is necessary to convince the manufacturer that they eventually corrected this feature.
[Android Head-Units] slovenskisin:
Yeah, I know I got it cheap. Does the screen wash out badly on sunlight? Does it have good sound quality?
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
I don't believe that's guaranteed to work. I've done the "Model choose" from the same firmware a couple times and ended up with a different MCU#. There must be some logic where it checks the firmware you currently have and chooses a "compatible" model, and I'm not convince that that logic isn't flawed. Also, functionality of that model-generated-MCU depends on the MCU you are coming from. For example, if I'm on an MCU where the bluetooth is not working and goto Model Choose, I end up with xxx2501, but bluetooth still doesn't work. If I have xxxx2101 installed, where bluetooth does work but knobs don't work at all, and I apply Model Choose, I end up with xxx2501 again, but now bluetooth works... and knobs start working but backwards.

I think once I had xxxE501 installed which seems to be the only MCU where knobs work correct (but no bluetooth) and after Model Choose I ended up with xxx6501 with backwards knobs and no bluetooth.

Sorry for the convoluted description, but just want to make sure that you're prepared to change MCUs a hundred times and still not get 100% functionality (where I am now).

Sound quality is subjective, but in my car it "sounds" comparable to the Pioneer I replaced. As for screen washing out, the only issue I have is screen glare when driving in full sun as the screen is a bit glossy. I'm thinking of finding a matte stick-on screen protector.

Does anyone happen to know of a popular tablet model that has the exact screen dimensions? I guess I'll just get something clearly larger and cut to size.
[Android Head-Units] slovenskisin:
I know it is subjective, but I am just afraid it will sound horrible compared to my stock unit.
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
I just happened to have my file explorer open and saw this MCU on my hard drive. If you still feel like experimenting, at least you'll have a copy of your current MCU.
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
It definitely won't sound like you're playing your music through a cheap clock-radio or something, but there have been a couple posts from guys who seemed to be audiophiles that didn't think it was the greatest sound.

Again, to my ears it sounds great. Though take that with a grain of salt as one of my favourite artists sings through an old telephone receiver glued into the front of his motorcycle helmet.
[Android Head-Units] FatBoyXPC:
I'm curious if there is a more complete owner's manual for this unit. I just bought a head unit off ebay which is different than this one specifically, but it looks like it's the same hardware just a different front: ebay.com/itm/261391114001?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I just received this in the mail yesterday but the user manual that comes with it is more of a "how to use" manual, rather than a complete book of features and what not.

I'm mostly concerned if this unit has high pass filters or not. Does anybody know if this unit (or mine, if they're different) has high pass filters?

Hey guys, I'm having a few newer issues.

Is there a way to make the Android Keyboard pop up even when a USB remote is installed? My steering wheel controls never worked so I bought a USB remote and programmed my SWI-X to run Android. Whenever I goto search for something in my GPS software, Play Store, etc. the keyboard will not pop up with the USB remote plugged in. Is there a way around this?

I've noticed that I have a hiss\white noise problem. When I mute the stereo it goes away, so I know it's based inside the head unit. I've tried opening all of the stock apps and they have the hiss as well. Is there any way around this?
[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
Alternative players have been discussed a bit so I'm sure a search would suggest a few. I use N7 as it has a unique way of displaying an album pane which I find easy to navigate while behind the wheel and it's very easy to manage media sources, including your external SD.

I was going to post about it anyway because I've noticed recently that it seems to start and stop playing when I switch to Google Maps. It has settings for pausing and starting with audio focus change, but those setting don't seem to have an effect. Instead, it seems like a play/pause event is being generated by the unit. The effect goes away when I disable "headset controls" from within N7. So it's like a play/pause button event is generated which is odd because I can't set that up for the steering wheel controls.

Playing with it more, it seems that if you start the radio app, N7 player kicks in with a little play icon in the taskbar, but you can't hear anything because the radio has priority. So there may be some MCU level shenanigans going on. I was going to request N7's developer if they'd add more control of media button actions as they have some already. If I can just set "play/pause" to do nothing, then this player would be perfect.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
I think I read that the Wii U tablet controller screen protectors work good for this unit.

I found a very detailed owners manual that was in pdf format that was somewhere in this thread but I have no idea where. Maybe use the search feature.
[Android Head-Units] FatBoyXPC:
I found this link, but I doubt this is right: betopseller.com/img/dvd/new-android-manual.pdf - this is practically the same manual included with my unit and it's not what I consider detailed.

This link here is in German so it's useless, and it's about canbus instead of the radio: acb.no/pdf/66030.pdf

Other than that I haven't found anything else with "manual" or "pdf" in the thread search. It'd be nice if the link was found for the first post to be updated (since it seems to contain all the information).

Google external keyboard helper or something similar, also certain third part keyboards allow for displaying the on screen keyboard even if an external one is connected.
[Android Head-Units] Drakey83:
That is the one I was talking about. Its a 65 pg long .pdf which I consider that pretty detailed, but maybe that's just me.
[Android Head-Units] FatBoyXPC:
Yeah, it's quite a few pages but it unfortunately doesn't tell me if there are high pass filters or much about the audio system. It's great for teaching me how to do basic android stuff, but doing most of that stuff is the same on a phone, tablet, or this unit. Overall that manual isn't too helpful to me. The upgrading the firmware is helpful, and the wiring diagram, other than that I probably won't open it again.

SDMount - SD Fix

Hey guys,

I may have a fix for the SD Card issue, making all apps able to see what is on the internal & external storage. It has worked for me so far, allowing all the music apps I have tried to see my music on the external, but I have only tested for a few hours.

I created a small Tasker app that mounts the external SD to a directory ("ext") on the internal. It doesn't seem like some of the Tasker functions are working on this device though as it should autostart on boot and apply the update to the internal any time the device senses that the external has been mounted, but I haven't been able to get it to work with these conditions. It does work when activated though and right now I'm using "AutoStart - No root" as a work-around for the boot.

The app I made is SDMount and I have included it below. Just install and open the app. It's a very simple app, so there isn't a menu or any items to control. This was just my attempt to fix this issue. As I said below, it mounts /mnt/storage/extsd1 to /mnt/sdcard/ext and I haven't had any issues with it so far but please USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. If I am able to get the conditions to work as I intended, I'll let you guys know if your interested.

AutoStart - No root [boot workaround] is found in the play store here --> hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.autostart

(I don't have the post requirements to actually posts links, so this will have to do)

Hope this helps some of you guys.

There are some third-party keyboards that can be configured to show up even when there is a USB keyboard installed.

[Android Head-Units] PsychoMcSatan:
It does look like we have the exact same model, unfortunately this means that we don't currently have a fully compatible MCU. The closest one is 4.2.7-7-10-2501, but it makes the knobs work backwards (clockwise turns the volume down). Also, I've only been able to get Bluetooth to work properly by flashing 4.2.7-1-10-2101 first, rebooting once or twice to make sure Bluetooth is still working, and then flashing 4.2.7-7-10-2501.

Therefore, unless something else is currently broken, I'd suggest you stay with your current MCU. After flashing a few versions, I haven't seen any performance improvements.

If you do need to fix something with your MCU, then I have attached the two files that I believe you'll need. These files were taken from the /etc/mcu/ directory after upgrading to system version .77.

*** ahrg, my USB key has empty files, I'll have to run out to the car again. I'll upload in a few minutes ***

As for the radio version. I believe you could always just install the apk from a previous system version, but .77 has the one with the red line (I agree, I like the old one better) so I don't have a copy handy.
