Hi,

that sounds correct for me because that is the way this units works.

You got 2 Wires for Power Supply: A yellow one that is connected to constant 12V Battery(to hold up the content of the volatile memory like the saved radio stations) and a red one that is connected to ACC Ignition that you can control with your car keys.

I think the unit has a built in Capacitor (like a mini rechargeable battery) that holds the 12V for about 1-2min after turning off the Ignition. When this voltage value goes under 9~10V (it takes 1-2min to get there) the Android system gets a shutdown command and turn itself completely off. There is a message that indicates it, you can see it when you turn on the system again exactly when the Voltage drops under the limit indicated.

So your unit is working normal.

I must admit it was a little bit annoying at the beginning, but I got used to it as the unit only needs 15~20s to boot up from a cold start.

May be there is a way to extend the threshold time to 10~15min with an additional/bigger Capacitor(or a bigger resistance that is set to drain the voltage of that capacitor). That would be better and more comfortable, for example when pausing at the gas station... I did not open the unit to see how they managed it, that would be interesting.

Hi, Tobias.s

Thank you for your answer :)

I would have expected the DVD-radio to function as a mobile phone with Android.

When the phone is active and I push the power-button, then it goes to "sleep mode" and when I push the power button again the phone is fully active again with no delay :eek:

Would be nice to know if it is possible to make a little power-backup (with a rechargeable battery or something like that), that could keep the DVD-radio in "sleep mode" !?! :D

Many Regards

Mirrorx

Does anyone know how to use the Mirrorx function? I guess the head unit will mirror your android phone. Not sure how to use this. Is there an app that i have to download on my phone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
I think the mirror apk only works with Samsung Phones that support the Mirrorlink function.
[Android Head-Units] TommyToad:
Okey, running this unit now for a while but i have some small issues i want to ask you guys about.

1) I'm running the 4.x beta update that i found here, it seems to be working just fine (even with my older MCU). Only issue is that the "Menu"-button is missing but i solved that with a third party app that adds a small extra button that you can stick anywhere you want on the screen. Is there a more stable version of 4.x coming out soon? Cusptech has the worst site in the history of mankind, almost zero information on it.

2) My reverse view camera i "flipped" or mirrored, the text is backwards. Not a big problem for me but can i fix it somehow?

3) I've got an OBDkey that's connected with USB that i'm trying to get to work with Torque pro, does anyone know what i should try in terminal to find out if it has drivers for it?
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
They are working on 4.4 but still alpha and has many problems, especially with sound.

Can be changed: start the factory settings app...there is an entry where you can change the settings to mirror the image or not. You can also mute the sound when the car is reversing.

Sorry no idea here, cause I am not using OBD with the unit.

Bluetooth problem

I bought this unit back in October for my gf as an xmas gift. The bluetooth has NEVER worked. The company that I bought it from, Isudar, is absolutely worthless with thrying to work out an exchange or help me remedy the problem. Today, 4/13 I correctly identified the unit and found you guys! So, I updated the MCU today but bluetooth is still a no-go. In the android menu I try to turn it on, and it says turning on.... for a few seconds and then just resets. No matter how many times I try to turn on the bluetooth, it just resets after 10 seconds.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: I also updated to Android 4.4....now I dont even see the Bluetooth option in the Android settings menu, but in factory settings>121212>BT there are a few options, all with Chinese names?
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
You can't turn on BT in android, because it is not controlled by android itself. The integrated BT hardware is only driven by the chinese apk software. So it is always running in background when the device is on. To get it working you must search with your phone for a bluetooth device named "Apple" (yes I know crazy name:D)

As soon as your phone get paired with that "Apple" device, the Bluetooth logo of the chinese apk will be shown on the status bar and you can start dialing /receiving calls. But dont expect wonders. It is buggy and the sound is not the best one. This is how it worked with 2.3.4. Idk if it is the same for 4.4.

Does 4.4 works fine with the device? Any annoying bugs? Would be great if you can report.
[Android Head-Units] boozy5646:
LMAO! I though one of my neighbors got an ipad or something! How lame! Will report back this evening. Lol.....apple....

Bluetooth

Bluetooth only works as Audio device and is handled by the MCU, there is no Bluetooth inside Android OS
[Android Head-Units] boozy5646:
I apologize, I installed 4.0 , not 4.4

Yes the bluetooth is barely functional now, but my gf says she can use it after some coaxing. This product didn't come anywhere near to what I have in my car (factory tech package)

If you guys can hook me up with a link, I would be happy to install 4.4 and report back. And again, thanks for getting us to this point xda!

Android 4.4.2

I have tested version c20140425.1 today and the radio is quite buggy - most of the time the sound does not work and when it does there is to much bass. c20140426 is out so I will test tomorrow. I am yet to find a stable version and the volume is always at different levels for the fm radio / android media!
[Android Head-Units] nakedtruthishere:
I recently bought a Cusptech Android Unit for my Mitsubishi. Although the seller and Cusptech say it should work with the factory installed Rockford Fosgate Amplifier, it does not. No sound from the loadspeakers as the amplifier is switched by Canbus and the Canbus box that came with the radio is not able to do that.

I have no idea, how I shall get the unit to work with the amp...

Hi

I have now installed the Android 4.4.2 version on my Cusptech DVDradio and I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can help me with.

1. I use a USB-hub for Bluetooth, GSM-modem and memory stick for music, but when I use the USB-hub, then the radio can't "see" the USB-sticks (worked fine with Android 2.3.4) ?

2. After the upgrade, the DVDradio can't "see" the Bluetooth USB-dongle - connected direct to the radio without the USB-hub (worked fine with Android 2.3.4) ?

3. After the upgrade, the DVDradio can't "see" the GSM/3G USB-dongle - connected direct to the radio without the USB-hub (worked fine with Android 2.3.4) ?

Hope someone can help with some answers or solutions to my problems ?

The build-in Bluetooth is working properly for me, but I'm looking for some stabled version with the new Radio app (4.4.2)

some version from July
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
This is an issue caused by the developper of the Android Unit.

The hub is well recognized by Android and the kernel itself has hubsupport enabled. You can test it for example when connecting the Hub to the unit and then connect a standard USB mouse to the hub, it will work without any problem.

The problem is that Android is not well configured to mount USB Flash drives that are connected to an external Hub because Vold bypasses mounting any flash drives that are not connected directly to the internal hub.

You can check this in the file fstab.sntb(root directory). Only flash drives connected to /devices/platform/s5p-ehci/usb1/1-1/1-1.2 will be mounted correctly.

I think that's why the chinese comment it as "withoud external hub support" in exact that file.

Editing and saving directly the fstab file won't help here because it will be replaced by the original fstab file (saved in boot.img and can not be accessed easly) everytime you reboot the system.

May be darkleo2000 can do it, as he managed to decrypt the firmware...It will be great if he can share with us how he managed to do it, so that other people can benefit from this and improve the firmware. That would open a whole new world for our cusp units:D

Or we must wait for the chinese...at least we see them working on it...

I fell for that one too. There is not support for steering wheel buttons on the Volvo (I have a V70) as it seems. I have talked to Sunny at cusptech and he confirmed it.

Perhaps there is a way to provoke a signal through the SWC1 and 2?
[Android Head-Units] Laller68:
Thanks for the download link, I purchased this unit a year ago with 2.3.4 Android firmware. I think of it was quite unstable. I have already installed the latest alpha version 4.4.2 (c26062014) which have a better GUI than original 2.3.4. After a few testing, I experienced sometimes the voice disappears and returns again. The voice of the radio is seems to be OK as well as the BT works well. I use OBD-II unit as well. The Torque Pro sometimes loses the pairing BT connection with ARM BT. The good point if somebody deals with these issues. Please do not hesitate to share us the latest versions if it available. But it is good progress, however is won't be reach the reliability of my Nexus7 tablet. :( ps. If the sound issues will be resolved, Do you have any idea to remove the root restrictions from this firmware? I would be happy.:laugh:

[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
Hey,

I am using the unit with rooted Omnirom 4.4.2 from the manufacturer. It is working since some months very stable and without big issues.

What I am really missing on this unit is the possibility to configure an OFF delay time after turning off the engine of the car. On actual firmware it is set to 1min.

It would be awesome if this time is configurable to 10-20-30min so one do not need to wait the 25s to start the unit.

I am using it mainly with Poweramp for my own music, Igo and google maps for navigation and Xialive for Radio (The buit in Radio receiver is not the best one)

Concerning the custom recovery, may be it is doable, but did not see elswhere if someone already tried it. FYI the unit has its own recovery/batch routine. You put the firmware files on an sd card, there is some sort of uboot recovery batch among these firmware recovery files. When restarting the unit, the recovery/update starts automatically and flashes the new firmware.

Idk if the units are the same. If they are from cusptech, you can always flash the latest firmware which is rooted out of the box. I got mine from aliexpress, may be you check there to compare prices.

Greets.

Hi :o

I would also like if it is possible to set the "OFF delay" to a longer time - Can someone help with a hint how to do that (if it is possible) ??

I would also like to know if someone have the 4.4.2 version working with a 3G usb-dongle - After I have updatede from 2.3.4 to 4.4.2, I can't get that to work and must use my mobile phone as an accesspoint.

MrNisse :laugh:
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
Yeah an adjustable Off Delay would be really good. They changed it from c20140413---->c20140419 from 0min to 1min. May be a good reverse engineer could find out the difference between these two firmware versions. The Problem is that they hardcoded it. From what I saw in the android catlog, when stopping the engine (ACC off) the MCU tells the OS that the power was cut off. A 1min timer starts then till the unit shuts off.

I was talking about the Logo changing app from cusptech. The logo changing app, like the setting app, needs the 121212 code to enter!

If the logo setting app is not in the firmware version that you installed then get the app from another firmware version or install a different firmware that is more complete than your actual one.

CUSP CP-T003 4.4.2 - 2010Rav4

Any one tested the mic, I seep to get a very low pic up with lots of distortion from recording through the existing mic through a basic voice recorder app, and the same while using the BT phone app.

I asked the place I bought it from on ebay called elifestore and he sent me a video in Chinese on how to add an external mic port, which meant opening the unit up and soldering a jack on top of the existing mic connection on the M-board, which I'm not entirely confident I can do as one mistake and I've ruined $500. I've question him about a replacement unit but he seems to be evading the issue.

Has any one experience a mic issue and fixed it?

[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
Hey,

the integrated mic is only usable with the BT Phone app, cause it sends the sound signal only to the Hardware BT-Module. Android itself unfortunately doesn't have direct access to that Mic! That's why if you start a simple recording software you won't hear anthing from the recorded file. The sound of the mic in combination with the BT-APP is okay though for calling and speaking on the phone, I would give it a mark 6/10. I personally disabled the BT hands free speaking feature not because the mic is bad, but rather the app itself is buggy.

There is a possibility to add a second mic just for android, but it is really tricky even for experienced technicians because the soundchip used has nearly microscopic dimensions which makes soldering a mic to it a nightmare.

Adding an external mic to replace the exiting one is a simple and easy task though, because the internal microphone is isolated from the critical components in the under left corner of the Board that holds the CPU Board.

[MENTION=5813144]MrNisse[/MENTION]

I really recommend using a mobile wireless router (Mifi) that is independent from the android unit. Even with 2.3.4 there were some problems with reconnects using a 3G USB-Modem. Mifi's are becoming cheapo.

In my case I transformed my old android Phone, that I don't use anymore, to a really good wifi hotspot router for my car. In combination with Tasker automation, it starts the wifi when I turn on the car and disabels it after 30min after I turned the car off.

The phone is only connected through a 12V USB adapter to the car. In my case a perfect solution even better than any Mifi Router or 3G USB Dongle. In addition to that I always have an emergency Phone in case I forgot my personal phone.
[Android Head-Units] DWTKENT:
Actually, I downloaded Smart Voice Recorder' from play store just to test if the issue was limited to Bluetooth, and was able to record and verify that the quality is the same either way, leading me to believe it's the internal mic. Not sure if your unit is different but I can access the mic function from apps saved to the unit. I've attached that recording sample. The quality is the same as a message left from the BT phone app.

[MENTION=5813144]MrNisse[/MENTION] - I have the video, I'm not able to post link here here (I'm to new), and I'm sure it's to big to upload (200Mb) not sure how else to get it to you. CuspTech also said they were going to send me another video on how to replace the internal mic as well, Once I get that I will post it too.
