Hi,

I tried to play various compilations/albums from extsd card using playlists.

From the stock music-app I selected "playlist", but it is not showing the playlists that are associated to the songs.

Looking at the manual, it doesn't give enough information to fix this.

I am using m3u playlists.

Unit is updated with latest firmware/mcu from repo here.

Can you guys please shed some light ?

Oliver

Btw iPod classic playlists work in Ipod app, only thing here is, when Ipod is going to sleep, the app is not waking up the device.

Has to be done manually every time, pressing the Ipod buttons.

Any idea?

I'm assuming you haven't watched the video or done a search of the thread?

Playlist will only show the current folder being played, it is incorrectly named as "playlist". You will need to install a different music app such as PowerAmp if you want that functionality.

External 12v powered USB fried board

Don't do what I did:

I thought, hey let's attach a hub to the usb wire that has the wireless dongle on it. Then I thought, let's go one better and attach a powered hub. So I went online, found a 12v powered hub, cut off the power supply wires coming out of the wall wart and attached them to the cig lighter wires. In a few seconds smoke came out of the hub, yes smoke, and now I have no wireless on my unit. To answer the question on your mind yes, the hub was plugged into the unit's usb port while I was doing the initial test. The dongle works inside so it's not fried. My next step is to try a USB flash drive in the unit but I have a feeling the USB board is fried. Everything else on the unit seems to be OK.

So... do you think I can replace just the board that controls USB? Does anyone have one laying around off a bricked test unit? Let me know, and don't be afraid to slam me, I deserve it.

Don
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Are you sure the hub had a 12v, and not a 5v input? I'm just not convinced it would have gone up in smoke unless it was wired incorrectly or the input voltage you gave it was too high. I doubt that the ~14v from the car would have fried it either as they usually have some tolerance.

Sorry I can't help you with any fixes though...
[Android Head-Units] donnieSJ:
Haha yes it was definitely wired incorrectly. I suspect I had the polarity reversed when I hooked it up. I did check the almighty Internets to try and identify the markings on the wires for polarity but they said manufacturers do not always follow convention. I did not put a fuse in the circuit as maybe I should have.

As to the hub voltage, I simply cut the wire off the wall wart that came with the hub. Output on the transformer said 12v so I figured I was golden. I s'pose the incorrect polarity created a dead short to ground and toasted my gear.

Ah such is life. I either need a new board or a new unit. So, if anyone takes pity on me, I could use whatever component controls USB/wireless in the same unit that is pictured at the start of this thread. *sigh*

I have that one (on the pic), its the same unit (AN21U) and can be rooted with the method mentioned on post 1 in this thread.

I bought mine with inbuilt OBD-blutooth, works like a charm (it can connect to OBD and normal phone/phone-music blutooth at the same time without any problems, just make sure to ask for the inbuilt OBD-blutooth, since its a hardware-module inside the unit they have to put inside it) . Mine also came with 2.7.9, and everything works so perfect I have never upgraded the MCU or the firmware at all. I'm 100% satisfied with this unit. It also have the 100's of colors for the LED-buttons, not all the other units have that, but this one does.

seek on the radio will not work properly if you have "TA" enabled, since then the seek will ONLY stop if it finds a radiostation with an active traffic-announcement (TA) while seeking.

In short - regardless of firmware-version/MCU-version: Always disable TA.

Thanks for that. I am away for the weekend so don't have access to the stereo at the moment. I may have already done this as there's a "R" just above the signal bars which I think means roaming is on - may network provider requires this to be on even when in my home country for data to work.

What can you say on the fm radio signal quality? I have already an active antenna but the quality is still very poor. Any idea what to do?
[Android Head-Units] Mikki_32:
Hi,

Few weeks ago received my unit. Came with system version 2.7.9.

My problem here is that the stock radio app does not show me the station name (only mhz). What can I do to it. And secondly it does not remember last station used, so everytime when it boots and radio app starts, I can hear only whoosh until I tune it to some random station.

Thanks:D
[Android Head-Units] tdt038:
Which wire do you use to power the active antenna? If you use a wire from the unit (P.ANT), or something like that, then this wires has unstable power supply. Try to use the wire ACC to power an antenna.
[Android Head-Units] Karmacom:
How do you do that? and by "unstable" do you mean it cuts power sometimes, or wrong amp/V?

Someone mentioned earlier to hook "P.ANT" on the unit to ACC from car (example cigarette power), is that what you mean?
[Android Head-Units] Zittermann:
I'm using power from the cigar lighter to power the antenna.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
No, don't do that!

He means instead of connecting your antenna to the "P.ANT" cable, attach it to ACC (red wire), so either make a splitter cable or use a Scotchlok.

OBD2 to USB working

Here you all go, some OBD2 answers!

I've been through about 4 different USB OBD2 connectors and finally have one that will work with our units...

This OBD2 to USB adapter turned up and worked first go, and hangs onto the connection reliably.

There's just as much of a chance that someone will order that item and it won't work. They're chinese knock-off that have no quality control, so it's a crap shoot. If you order one with scan-tool.net it will work or they will help you until it does.
[Android Head-Units] Mikki_32:
Anyone?
[Android Head-Units] Mikki_32:
Hi kaween and thanks for your reply.

1. Geographic region is correct (Europe and I live in Finland). But I "solved" the problem. Installed newer(?) radio apk and got ability to name added radio presents:cool:.

2. No it does not loose radio presents, but you are correct. I had to switch ACC and BATT cables among themselves because when the wiring was like it should be, radio`s lights was always on. Even when I did not have putted key in. (Or I readed my car`s manual wrong and now wiring is right). Maybe there is way to solve this, but I do not think that this is going to distract me...

3. Yeah mine car (Volvo) also cuts power from all unnecessary during crank. Like problem 2. I do not think that it is biggie for me. Let`s see if I get used to it :D.

Now it is time to solve another problem:

4. Ordered Scantool Obdlink SX usb cable and bought Torque Pro. How can I make Torque start on boot? Or better solution would be timed start (like 30 seconds after boot).

On Torque settings I have ticked "start on boot" and I also have app called "Start Up Manager" where I have forced Torque to start on boot. But it just does not work......

no sound

i have a 02 audi with the symphony bose sound system. and i just installed the unit and everything works except sound.

is there a setting that changes this unit from outputting sound from the standard sound ports to the preamp front and rear ports seeing as i have the bose system?

Please someone give me some direction i have been pulling my hair out with this situation!!!!

Thanks ahead

Take a look at Automate-It (simple) or Tasker (not so simple) to force-launch Torque. Could work, but no guarantees.

[Android Head-Units] Prdie:
I'm using Tasker for this purpose. Event system boot, task run Player and press Play button. Works very well.
[Android Head-Units] KID52:
Unfortunately not.

I managed to get into the security menu and tried setting both a pattern and code, but no matter what settings I used, the unit never locked, even after a reboot.

What apps did you try?
[Android Head-Units] slc71:
Keypad Lock Screen with Screen off and on lock.

Applock by DoMobileLabs was ok but it still allowed you to turn on the radio even though you could not control anything. My big problem was it did not start until about 10-20 seconds after the unit was up and it allowed you to get into apps.

The search continues.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

Ok, so I downloaded Hidden Lock by Marinelli.Tv. It works very well. I need to fine tune it still but i am using the app addon which is attached to Nova Launcher. It locks the screen about 5 seconds after the screen appears.

I think with some fine tuning I can get it to lock immediately.

Hi, I'm not aware about any switch between preamp rca's and amp iso outputs. They're supposed to be both on. You could have two problems.

1. You have not probably wired correctly the blue wire (P.AMP) from the HU to the factory harness. That wire is used to send a wake up signal to the factory amp.

2. Bad RCA outputs. Try to wire the factory amp to the HU amp outputs to test whether there's some problem with your rca ouput path.

The output from HU amp outputs will work, but the volume will be high and there's some possibility that you'll catch some ground loop hiss or alternator whine. All three problems (volumen level, gl, whine) could be solved by Scoshe adaptor : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...iveASIN=B000BFL52Q&linkCode=as2&tag=chryou-20

which a guy named webdude12 used to wire the AN21 to his audi.

I'm using it successfully in my saab 9-5 with Harman Kardon system.

iGo losing settings

Occasionally, when I start up iGo, it seems to have lost its settings and goes through the initial setup routine where I have to select language etc.

Not a big deal but its annoying as I have to also setup the alert point settings, view I prefer etc.

Anyone come across this behaviour and/or know a solution?

Same problem here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52240081&highlight=igo+prdie#post52240081

I think that the problem emerged with some 2.6.xx update. I've tried to move igo installation from sd card to internal nand (As I had iGo autostart, I was suspecting that the external card is not mounted quickly). No luck. This bug prevents me (or better my wife) to use the iGo.
[Android Head-Units] kamold:
Sorry I missed your post when I searched.

I have iGo installed on the internal SD.

I hope there is a solution. I will try contacting the seller but not sure where that will get me...
[Android Head-Units] giasoy:
This is happens when system mounts the external or internal SD as Read Only for 3rd party apps, and iGO cannot write in the SAVE directory. I had the same problem with my previous unit (caravn).

Move the SAVE directory in another place restart iGO do the initial setup close it and see if the SAVE directory has been created again, if not then the iGO cannot write.

Ok I've got the ST-LINK programmer dongle and i already have connection to the MCU as an attempt to unbrick my unit.. Now, how can i have a decrypted MCU file? Or how can i decrypt the 4bf18a00-297a-11e3-ab19-000c29ba27c0 file? In the ST-Link utility I cant open the file.. any help?
[Android Head-Units] Miwer:
Only the factory have the decrypted firmware files, and they are not likely to give them away (kinda defeats the purpose of encrypting them, right?)

Also no one has cracked the encryption yet (as far as I know), so you're pretty much SOL, unless you can crack the code.

Are you able to read something out of your current MCU with your ST-Link, or do you get a "device protected"?

Issues with my AN-21

Hi all,

I've got a couple issues with my AN-21 - Waze won't install - Google Play says "This app is incompatible with your device." despite the Android version being 4.1.1 and Waze is compatible with Android version 2.2 and up.

Secondly, Sygic stopped working - worked fine in the past, and then suddenly one day a few months ago when I tried to start it, it said "SD card access denied". Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, still got the same error message. Otherwise all other apps works fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regarding the Subwoofer pop.

As I was replacing my previous headunit with a AN21 model, I noticed the "pop" from the subwoofer when switching sound source or going from "volume" to "mute" too, just as predicted on this forum. And it bothered me.

My existing subwoofer accepts both Hi and Line input levels, and my previous headunit did not have an extra subwoofer output line nor line outputs, so I used the Hi-inputs there. So I tried to do the same thing on the AN21 and yep, no pop when doing that. But also, when I hooked the subwoofer to the L/R lineoutputs of the AN21, the pop would not occur. So I've abandoned the subwoofer output in favor of the line output connection.

I loose the subwoofer volume control over the AN21 that way, but frankly the subwoofers' own gain control works better than the AN21's control, and once set to an appropriate level, I've found I don't need to adjust it later on.

So it would seem the pop isn't being produced equally noticable on all the AN21's output, but mainly on the mono-Subwoofer output line.

Sacrificing the somewhat iffy subwoofer volume control is a small price for a "popless" behaviour of the sound system for me. Who knows, maybe some reader finds this little bit of info useful.

Too my surprise. everything i use now works perfectly:radio, media, IPTV, ipod, bluetooth and OBDII.. yes OBDII. I tried all my OBDII adapters USB, Bluetooth and wireless and all work. When I pair the bluetooth adapter it isn't that obvious that it has been paired until a small message flashes saying "device paired" or something like that and after that it isn't visible in the bluetooth device list after pairing. Before I could only use the WIFI adapter. I have those cheap v.1.5 OBDII adapters from ebay.

Bluetooth needed a few reboot's before it started working properly.
