If you can record voice through a third party android app, then they must have changed the PCB of the board, because in the earlier versions, the built in mic did not have a physical connection to the soundchip that is managed by the Android OS.

Usually the Problem of sound distorsion/signal to noise ratio in combination with condenser microphone capsules used in these units is a result of a preswitched condensator that is bad calculated or of bad quality. An unstable Microphone Bias Voltage could also be a problem rather than a bad microphone capsule.

But who knows, may be the capsule is really bad or have a low db sensitivity. So you can try to exchange it to get a more compact/original design rather then having an external mic that must be fixed somwhere out of the unit.

It is always a doityourself work with chinese units to get good results.

Failed Upgrade

Hi everyone, I seem to have hit a bit of a snag while performing an upgrade to "cusp en.kk@20140626"

I did check and can confirm that Android info app to confirmed my CPU to to be the correct type and the MUC version equal to AUG 23 2013. I have the CUSPTECH UNIVERSAL CP-6202 unit it was running 2.3.4 jelly bean.

I copied the contents of the 20140626 SDCARD folder to a physical 4GB SDCARD (fat32) and followed the upgrade procedure.

---------------------------------

3.copy all file into a SD card

4.turn on the device

5.insert the SD card in the GPS slot

6.press RST hole

--------------------------------

the device booted into the fast boot and started the upgrade. then 4 sec later reported uboot fuse error! with upgrade failed.

now the device will not respond at all. I mean if I press reset the screen stays blank, if I press PWR+RSET nothing. the only thing I can observer is that while pressing RSET I can hear the speakers engage a low hum as it always does while booting up and then nothing.

Any suggestions or is this device bricked?
[Android Head-Units] yerkoylu:
I also have the same problem
[Android Head-Units] goodforallpaul:
I have tried connecting my laptop to the usb front connector port in case the CP-6202 allowed me to view it as a mounted usb storage device that would let me try and correct corrupted boot, but no joy.

What is annoying is that back on page 8 of the forum other people have apparently upgraded from 2.3.4 to 4.4.2 26-06-2014 without issue. just looks like you and I crashed and burned.

I have tried the following combinations with no luck

pwr button + reset

pwr button + tft +reset

pwr button + tft + scan + reset (this makes a high pitch noise but nothing)

I have placed the 2013 manufacture build onto a sdcard and tried to follow the upgrade procedure on the off chance that the only problem I had was that my screen was no longer able to display what was actually still happening behined the scene. none of this has worked.

So any help in getting this cusptech cp-2606 back would be so very appreciated.

No Update,

I am now researching how to connect my laptop directly to the head unit so that I can attempt ADB (Android developer bridge) or fastboot to see if I can directly update the nand with the most recent stable build.

I have read most of the articles in the Russian forum and some others and it seems that the blank screen is common, with no one yet explaining how to recover from it. I am going to attempt all that I can and if I succeed I will update this forum.

here is what I have said in turkish:

I installed this version (c20141028-kk-en) yesterday and it seems to work ok :good:

CUSP has integrated the "Torque" program into the firmware as they did in the Android 2.3.4 version but the program just says "No Bluetooth" and I can't activate Bluetooth in Android :(

Does somebody know how to get the "Torque" program to work ?

Cusp WinCE firmware

Hello,

I am sorry if I ask this question on this thread, but I have a CUSP 2din unit for my Focus running WinCE. I tried to contact CUSP for firmware upgrade but they did not answered. Do you know a place where can I download WinCE firmware for CUSP units?

Thanks,
[Android Head-Units] emarch:
Solve brick issues.

Hi saw that some of you bricked their CUSP radio updating them.

I had the same issue and solved it like this:

Download the c20141031-kk-en.tar.gz firmware from baidu (see link on previous posts)

Format a 16 G bytes micro SD card with those parameters:

- file system: FAT32

- block size : 32 KB. This is important, I don't know why but the bootloader seems to fail flashing with lower block size.

Uncompress the files to the root of the sd card,

Put the card in the GPS slot,

Press the reset button,

=> The flash process finally starts.

I don't understand why the block size of the SD card influences the flash process, but it did for me!

Hope it helps.

Hi again tobias.s, why do you ask? do you have a clue to why it is not working?

br

kallepuk
[Android Head-Units] tobias.s:
Sorry for the delay. I was on a trip.

Unfortunately the Chinese abandonned (at least it seems so) the firmware update for the units with the March MCU. The last working firmware for March MCU is c20140911-kk-ml. All firmwares that came after that are not compatible with the March version and cause a black screen after rebooting.

I invesitgated a lot the config files of the firmwares and must admit that they are not really well coded. For example the compatibility with usb hubs is easy to get, only very few changes are needed in some files in the boot area that I can't access, or are rewritten to its defaults when rebooting.

Also the compatibility with 3rd party Equlizers are not possible out of the box, only because the audio config in android is bad/wrong written. After correcting the config file edited by cusp, the equilizers are working like a charm.

I stopped updating my unit because I am very satisfied with my actual version/modification of kitkat(a version that came out in May I guess), because it is extremly stable since more than half a year now.

It is a pitty that Firmware updates for these units are in most cases not better than the older ones(may be even worse). In most cases they add some irrelevant and unimportant additions like animated logos and so on instead of correcting vital functionalities like the support of usb hubs or the reduction of autostart time for installed apps.

Happy new Year 2015.

Hi,

Thank you for the thorough explanation, it is much appreciated.

I have one more question regarding this. When you say the last working version is c20140911-kk-ml. I guess the -ml is for the Malaysian version. When looking at the page of the firmwares we also see an English folder.

Do you have any idea on which is the most previous English version that would work for March MCU?

It is a pity we won't get any further updates, and if it is the way you say, than it depends on some configuration to get it working, then it's a scandal.

The are some things that are bothering me at the moment;

First and foremost everything is in Chinese (Was able to fiddle through the menus and found my locale). And the apps are coded in Chinese. :(

No Google play services are working. (could maybe be solved by installing an English firmware)

Boot time, and the time it takes for it to totally shut off. On android 2.3 it would take some time before it totally shut down.

Happy new 2015 Tobias.s and thank you once again!

Best regards

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

no problem, I am glad if I could help. In fact for these chinese units one can obtain better support and improvement for the device from the community rather than from the manufacturer. Actually cusp did not answer any of my mails that I've had send to them in the past.

Anyway, regarding ml version, I think I installed once on my second cusp device(that I use for testing purpose only) a ml version and all languages were installed there. I really don't know exactly what the differnces are between these versions, cause they seem to be equal. May be it is only the cusp Apk's itselfes that are coded in a different language.

I personally avoid as much as possible the cusp apks cause I am getting everytime annoyed by them and their bugs. For example I do not use the build in FM Radio at all. I am using webradio/stream with perfect audio quality and steering wheel button support. The integrated FM Radio is imho a joke.

What firmware version do you have installed?

The device is working great for me in my native language(german). If it is completely chinese for you, then I think you really got a bad firmware or you should change the language setting in the setting menu.

No goole play service??? Hmm that is strange. It works perfectly for me.

Boot time is 15s for the device itself till I can start any app manually from the home screen. Concerning autostart apps that I've installed, they only start after aprox. 2-3mins after ignition.

Totally shut off time is set to 1min by default from cusp. It was annoying for me cause If I stopped somewhere just for some minutes and restarted the car, the whole unit needed 2-3mins again to start up everything. Other manufacturer have better solutions, the shut off time is customizable by app. But there is a trick, a hardware add-on to extend the standby time by adding a capacity to the ACC line. When installed, the unit goes into standby for a choosen time(depends of the amount of the capacity installed), and shuts off completly after that. So if you restart the car between the standby and shut off time, the unit immediatly goes on. I've set it in my car to 30mins.

Please try this verion: c20140517-kk-en.tar
[Android Head-Units] kallepuk:
Hi again tobias.s

I agree with everything you are saying. It's as sad as can be that they just told me to buy a new one to be able to install the newer firmwares. Really sad! They've also not responded to my earlier mails when I claimed my warrantee after they posted a firmware on their official page with a buggy firmware that bricked my device, a firmware they later revoked. I had to get help from a Chinese friend of mine to be able to send it back and they sent me an older mcu version mcu unit back..

Totally agree the radio app sucks big times and I do most of my music-listening streaming (spotify). But I would like to be able to use radio the traditional way and can't find any app that could replace it. Do you have any clue?

How did you get the steering wheel buttons to work? On my Volvo cusptech says there is not CANBUS support. :(

Since you are saying google services such as play are working on the ML version i will download the same you are using..

I am able to change the system language to English or Swedish (my native language) but the APKs are in Chinese (himarket). Still no google services.

About the standby and ACC line. Is there any good description on the net how to do it?

And one more thing, sorry to bother you so much. Do you know where I can find c20140517-kk-en.tar?

Best regards

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

please download this firmware: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B0MRJU3tnyDrdDZKdHFBQ0QxM0k&export=download

It is not c2014017 but c20140530 it is rooted and has as few chinese crap on it as possible.

I was mistaken, I am using exactly this firmware c20140530 on my device and it is working very stable.

I don't even know what Himarket is. Never saw that on any firmware that I've installed before on my device.

Regarding the steering wheel control SWC, I don't have any experiences with canbus driven swc's cause my car does not use it. But from what I've read in some forums, you need a box that translates the canbus swc commands to readable analogue signals that cusp unit can understand. So you got then from your car a CAN LOW and a CAN HIGH signal that enter the translation box, the exit wires are then connected to KEY1/KEY2 and GND of the cusp unit.

For the extended standby time, it is very simple: Hook a capacitor in parallel between GND and ACC(not constant battery). Add a well dimensioned diode for protection purpose in series. Check the Image in the attachment to this post.

I've searched a lot for an alternative to the radio. I tryied for example DAB-Radio app in combination with a DVB USB Stick. The sound quality was extremly(!) good, but you need a very good antenna to get a decent signal and the DAB app was very beta: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ses.wavesink&hl=de

My second try was with a device which also was based on dab but with anohter approach: It was connected to cusp through usb and was seen by it like a flash memory device with many mp3 files. Every mp3 corresponds to a radio station. When you played it through your standard Android mp3 player (like poweramp) the box tuned the desired station and streamed the sound in mp3 format to your device. The Idea sounds so good, but one need a perfect antenna for it and zapping from one radio station to another was a mess, because precashing the data needed sometimes more than 1minute.

Now I ended up with webradio and I am very satisfied.

Tobias
[Android Head-Units] kallepuk:
Dear Tobias.s,

Thank you once again for your thorough response. The firmware you recommended is the best I have tried so far.

Since we mostly stream radio and music through Spotify radio is never an issue. The only times we use the built-in radio is when we are going short distances with the car, and even then the quality is really bad so mostly we just turn it off after a short while. The built-in app should be replaced with something better.

Connecting to 4g through my phone is a lot smoother through this firmware and works flawlessly. Before I had to turn on internet sharing from my phone, go in to the Wifi on the CUSP-device and it would connect. Now I just enable internet-sharing on my phone and the car connects to it.

My only complaint now is the boot up and standby which you have described a solution for. I will try it out as soon as I get a chance.

When it comes to the Steering Wheel Buttons I will have to find one of those translation boxes. It seems as if there is a lot to chose from.

Thanks once again Tobias!
