How likely does it seem that will happen? I didn't realize that there was not yet a chipset available that would take advantage of 5.1... particularly with Lollipop nearly 9 months old. Has there been any stated timeline for that? It appears the CarPad is almost a year old, so is it reasonable to suspect that a new version would be available in a couple of months? Should I wait until then rather than buying what would be an outdated box in 2 months?
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Just contacted summer to see how much a replacement brain is. As I can't get this thing to detect on any pc I try. Think the boot loader on the box is messed up.
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
Depends upon the chipset/board maker if they want to produce the code and if Newsway want to introduce it, the 3188 may get the LL5.1 but more likely once the 3288 is used, as will need to be differentiated from the old box it will get LL5.1 . If you can find out then you can decide, waiting for the next new thing could mean a 6 to 9 month wait. I am now too old to wait ;) and prefer just to enjoy the here and now. An old box can be used as a TV box running XBMC or as its now called Kodi so does not have to go to waste.

Someone can get 5.1 to run on a Rockchip 3188

Are these units jtagable? I've tested my box on 3 different systems and it won't detect at all. Just wondering if I can salvage the unit with jtag

I think he was just adding the drivers for people that were running stock kernels. Having the usb-serial drivers enabled in the kernel should be good enough.

I bought one of those HD radio tuners with the cable. It was the best tuner I have used. RDS was great and the sound quality from HD stations blew the regular FM out of the water. HD AM was very interesting....

I was actually looking for the application yesterday to try, after reading your comments about HD Tuner hook up.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
I have them if you cannot find them.. Bob's first version, his material version and another version made by someone on Rootzwiki

I wish I had the time to learn this stuff, I am looking forward to adding the HD tuner back into my car
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I believe the replacements are $100. These boxes are pretty tough to brick. There are multiple ways they try to boot and eventually it should fall back to trying to boot from the external SD card.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm okay, well I've tried everything I can to get it to detect on pc. Even tried plugging the device into the hu FireWire cable and still nothing detected on pc or on the hu display. I don't have anything in the sd reader so perhaps it's trying to load off that, what would I have to put on to a sd card to see if I get any results ?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Some generic rockchip info here http://linux-rockchip.info/mw/index.php?title=Boot_Sequences this kind of thing is really tough to work through on a forum.

You might want to check to make sure you didn't break the usb connector or the reset switch itself since there have been at least one person that has done each of those.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm no they both still appear fine. The switch still clicks and the unit powers up fine via usb & feels firm. Will have to check the link you provided and see. Thanks

All of my videos are out of sync with audio even Netflix. I am using viper 4 android. Anybody know if this is a common problem and if there is a fix
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I've already snuck that in, I just haven't added it into the UI yet.

There are a couple of broadcast intents you can watch for in recent builds:

android.intent.action.PHONE_SIGNAL_LEVEL_CHANGED

android.intent.action.PHONE_BATTERY_LEVEL_CHANGED

Those have an extra value called level that will be a number between 0 and 5.

There is also another one:

android.intent.action.PHONE_NETWORK_NAME_CHANGED

That should return the name of the cellular network you are connected to.

It doesn't work with my iPhone but it may work with other devices.
[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
Quick question for you guys... Is there a way to set the delay to be less on the audio ducking feature? It takes a good second or two to come back to the song that is playing on the radio if I have BT Media on... Just a comment and suggestion if possible :)
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
The price is on the wiki. $100 plus shipping, but you have to contact her to order it anyway.

From what I understand all of the Android based HD tuner apps are crappy at best.

Nice! I'll have to add these as "In Dev" so I don't have to add them later.

[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Well I'm at a loss, I took the box apart. Tested continuity on the reset button and usb ports. All are good. I read the sd boot feature and I don't see how that will help get the boot loader working again. Wonder if the stability issues were more a issue with the box vs software.

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

I've contacted summer to see what she offers.

Anyone else have any other ideas as to what I could try to get this thing to go? It powers up but that's it.

Followed what a tutorial mentioned for booting up off a sd card, I've written a factory image to an sd card and the box still won't display anything.

Ordered another brain [MENTION=228037]100[/MENTION]+30shipping (~$175cdn). Definitely not a good time to have to fork out cash for that being unemployed for the past month.

Anyone want a box to play with? I can't get it going but maybe someone with Linux experience can get it up and going again
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I just looked it up to, the adapter for your car looks very similar:

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-O0VnDC4kle1/p_12040HD10/Metra-40-HD10-Antenna-Adapter.html

The note on that page says:

Installation Note: A blue wire is attached to the antenna adapter. When installing the adapter, the blue wire should be connected to the antenna turn-on lead of your new head unit.
[Android Head-Units] iHarry:
Excuse me for stupid question. Can I use a longer FireWire cable to connect Android Box? I want to install it in the armrest and original cable not long enough.

Sorry for my english.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Yes you can. I use a 3 meter cable and it works just fine.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Since it was showing up via USB did you ever try to connect with ADB at all? If you want to ship it to me I can play around with it and see what I can come up with, don't really need a spare box for testing/dev since I've got one in my vehicle and a whole unit on my desk for development purposes.
[Android Head-Units] gohigher123:
I'm having the same problem. The reception was way better with my original car radio. So maybe i'm gonna need a antenna power adapter to. I'm driving a ford kuga from 2011. Does any one have an idea ? Do i need a power adapter of not ?
[Android Head-Units] x5nder:
This does not work, but I did find a foolproof (and easier way) to install TomTom GO... see below!

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

For those interested in installing TomTom GO (in my opinion the best onboard navigation software): I finally found a workaround for the annoying habit that TomTom has of installing the maps on the internal_sd partition with no way to change this path.

1) If you haven't installed TomTom GO already, download it here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomtom.gplay.navapp

2) Download and install FolderMount [ROOT]:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount

3) Run TomTom GO once, but don't download any maps -- just quit the application with the BACK key.

4) Open FolderMount [ROOT] and make a new Pairing with the name "TomTom", where

/mnt/internal_sd/Android/data/com.tomtom.gplay.nav

is linked to

/mnt/external_sd/Android/data/com.tomtom.gplay.nav

(if you use an SD-card; if you want to install the cards on a USB-stick or USB-drive, change /external_sd/ to the correct path).

5) When asked, let FolderMount [ROOT] move all the files to the new folder. When the transfer is complete (you can check this in the notification area), make sure you switch the Pairing on. Now start TomTom GO again, and voila, you can download maps to SD or USB without any problems. I tried this with the entire 6.1 GB European map yesterday and drove around to test it -- works like a charm.

FolderMount [ROOT] will autostart with Android, just wait for the notification that TomTom has been successfully paired before starting the actual TomTom GO app.

ENJOY :)

whilst on bluetooth topic...

is there a way to have my mobile as well as my wife's mobile connected as Bluetooth hands-free simultaneously?

That way if we are both in the car, we can both receive/make calls.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Sorry, no. It will be possible to have both paired and switch between them, but not have both connected at the same time.

That's a limit of the handsfree hardware.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I have a 2009 Mondeo and mine had 2 aerial connectors, one for DAB and one for FM I believe. I have the FM connected up and I'd say the reception is not as good as the OEM unit although this is also noticeable as there is no RDS to flip to a stronger signal. However I think it was always reported on this thread that the reception tends to be a little weak on these units. I don't believe the Fords have powered aerials either.
[Android Head-Units] gohigher123:
Ok thanks for your answer. Mine has to aerials to. Do you now of it's possible to connect the dab to this unit ? Or an other dab ?
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I'm not sure of the difference between the aerials themselves but assume there must be a reason to have two so doubt the DAB will work that well instead of the FM one unless you have the wrong one connected? On my car the FM is DIN type connector (or the flat one that fits the DIN connector adapter, been a while since I fitted mine) whereas the DAB is a fakra connector and normally needs and adapter to connect to standard head units. Given your car is newer than mine you might have two fakra connectors and I assume you have to choose the right one to get a good reception;

http://www.talkford.com/community/topic/214817-aerial-adapter-question/page-2

Btw I am investigating external DAB options myself ... but very slowly ;)
[Android Head-Units] gohigher123:
I have 3 of those connectors like on the photo you've posted. One for fm , one for dab and one for the gps. I wish the rds was already ok. Because like yesterday we where traveling and the frequency didn't change automatically , so it was manually searching for it again.
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
Yes I have that issue, Here support refuse to help and playing around with various settings does not help either, all detailed earlier in this thread. I use xauto1.1.6c so moving to xauto does not help but maybe the xauto1.1.6c2 version may help.
[Android Head-Units] gohigher123:
As for the dab I don't think it's a dab antenna but a tmc antenna. Can this be correct? As before with the original car radio , if there was some traffic the gps recalulated a new way to travel. Is there a way to get this back to this unit?
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
I too have HERE, with the same issue.. I have mentioned it here a couple times and looking through the 600 + pages I have not found a fix
[Android Head-Units] Juel-DK:
There is no fix atm..
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Make sure it's a good cable, if your screen starts to flicker then you need a different cable.

No idea, I would Google your car plus aftermarket stereo installation and see if you get some info.

Having multiple devices paired would be nice.

You may try using a Xposed module called App Settings and changing the DPI and/or activating immersive mode for the app. I haven't tried it myself, but it did make Torque finally behave.

I wonder if the GPS antenna in your car is compatible with the NU3001...would be pretty neat.

Only by using an Android maps app that supports this feature.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Does anyone know which pin I can short on the nand to get this thing to perhaps go into mask rom mode? I have nothing to lose now so may as well try and see if I can offer anything for the future in case anyone else happens to have this occur.

I've been trying to find data sheets for the nand but haven't had any luck with Google. Other nands made by hynx say to short pin 7&8 but not sure which pins those are on this nand or if that even applies to this nand
[Android Head-Units] ChrisK-WA:
OK, new guy in the block. I’ve been doing a bunch of power reading (almost read the entire thread (550+ pages)), the FAQ and a bunch of other info from other locations so my head is spinning. Just received my NU3001 from Anna (2gb). I’m getting ready to do the install but I have a ton of questions. Sorry, I’m sure some of these may have been covered before but I don’t recall seeing it. I hope I don’t look like too much of an idiot.

1. Powering up. I have an adapter on the way to power up the HU, but I thought I read where people were powering up just the HU and Android unit with the Mini USB. Just using the Mini (and the Firewire cable to the HU), I get the green light but nothing on the HU. Is there enough power in the Mini to light it up? I’ve tried switching the button on the Android and HU but no joy.

2. Flashing the HU Rom. Can flashing the HU rom be done by RKBATCH tool or is that done just through the external SD card? Which leads me to the next question. I only have one SD card slot and that’s the internal one on the Droid unit. Was there supposed to be another one, or do I use a SD Card reader on the USB slot?

3. Last but not least (for now) are the cables that came with the unit. I have 3 bundles. The 1st bundle looks likes it already setup for a vehicle (just not mine). There are additional wires I’m not sure about (there are three brown wires (brown, brown/black and Brown/ White) that hook into the distal plug and terminate in a square grey 6 pin connector. The Wiki states that the brown plug is “controller power” and no need to connect. My car (Subaru BRZ) also has an antenna power boost that gets power when the radio is on. Is there anything in this unit that can do something like that? I’m also assuming that the blue wire is for a power antenna and no need for it with a fixed antenna, correct? #2 bundle is normal. #3 bundle doesn’t appear to attach to the HU (or Droid), any clue what that’s about?

I also want to say a big thank you to all those that have put so much time into developing this. I’m really excited to try this out and start learning. Hopefully, I’ll be able to provide some input and learn enough to help.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
The mini USB can power the Android box by itself so you can use the rkbatchtool or other software to interact with the Android box. If you want to have the HU power up as well you need to supply power directly to it, lots of people connect 12v from a PC power supply to the HU to power it. If you supply power to the DC port on the Android box then you can plug a TV/monitor into the HDMI port

If you are going to stick with the stock ROMs you should be able to copy them to the internal or external storage, though I would recommend just using the rkbatchtool and a USB connection to flash the ROM. If you decide to install xdAuto it will also install TWRP and after the first install you can use the recovery and zip file method of upgrading which doesn't wipe out your whole device.

To flash the HU firmware you can copy the updatemcu.bin to the internal or external storage and use the "Update Setting" tool to flash that. At this time I think v40 is the best choice.

I'm not sure about your specific vehicle hookup, but I suspect the 3rd bundle you are referring to is the one that plugs into the HU and has all of the RCA inputs on it.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
No, I never did. And now it won't even show up in device manager like it once did. Power light comes on and that's it. I'm suspecting a corrupt nand flash perhaps from rkbatchtool. If I knew what pins to short to get it into mask mode so I can try to re-write a factory image. Haven't had any luck finding any info on the nand tho. Not sure what I would do with it tho if I ever did get it working again.

Where abouts are you located?

My device btw will only power on with the standard usb plug and not just the micro. It's always been like that
[Android Head-Units] ChrisK-WA:
Thanks for the input. I had attached a pic of the bundles, but had to pull it do to my lack of post. 1st bundle looks similar to the first one pictured in the Wiki but rather than having one plug, it has 4 plugs (plus the antenna), the second one is the RCA bundle (similar to the one in the Wiki, pretty self explanatory), 3rd has 3 plugs, none of which attach to ether unit. Just curious if these are the regular bundles or if these were meant for a specific vehicle.
[Android Head-Units] iHarry:
Did you read the user manual?

My manual says that third bundle is for Nissan Sylphy.
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
Two of these will plug into your HU one is the power and speakers, second RCA video and the third harness is for a specific car, not yours. There should be one add on page attached to your printed manual explaing that. Ican send a picture of the not to use one tonight if you need

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9195 mit Tapatalk
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I've planned on taking pics of all the possible adapters that could come with the units but haven't had a chance yet. Each unit comes with 2 that hook up to the HU with the power and speaker connections. IIRC the 3001 comes with one that is specific for some vehicle and one that has the ISO connector and the 5002 comes with one that is just bare wires and one that has the ISO connector.
[Android Head-Units] ChrisK-WA:
One of the things that I'd love to use is Torque and/or Dash Command with a USB interface since it can poll the ECU faster. My concern is having a device connected to my ECU and the Internet. What kind of security is built into these Android units. Is there any way to beef it up?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
There are all the normal Android security mechanisms in place, though based on what I've seen the original developers were not thinking about security when a lot of the custom stuff was written.

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

I'm in the US (Washington). Strange that your device only powers from the standard USB plug. Since you've had it open did you notice what board revision you have? Mine is V3 (2014-11-10). I wonder if you have an earlier rev.

When I was getting TWRP working on here I had done a ton of updates using the rockchip tools and never had a corrupt flash at all. The tools seem to have a lot of safeguards to protect it.

I had seen the doc about shorting pins on the nand from that one link so it seems like a viable option, but I haven't had time to dig in and see what actual pins they say to short and which ones on our chips (though I highly suspect it's the same)

If you got it working again you could have another device to help with some development on :)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
From memory I think my 3001 came with a Nissan specific connector and the ISO one.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Oh nice, I'm in Ontario Canada, not sure how much it would cost to send the box over to you. Could investigate and see, after spending nearly 175cdn on a replacement funding be a little snug currently to send this away to get it fixed.

Here's a photo of my board. It is slightly older with a manufacturing stamp of 2013-09-29

The document in the link said to short pins 8&9 on the nand the only problem is these nands don't have exposed pins & I'm not sure which pin is pins #1. Plus the pins are all under the chip itself. There are 4 sets of pads exposed but can't determine which pins They run to as its not the easiest seeing all the tiny pins under the chip
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Isn't that a design date rather than when it was manufactured? I'd suggest the manufacturing date was 14 : 40 in the top left i.e. 40th week in 2014?

Frustratingly the date is obscured in this one;

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/File:Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001_Board.jpg

But the top left shows 14 : 17
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Deleted lol. Repeated what welshblob said
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I was wrong, my board version is v3.2. The .2 was obscured by the USB port and I didn't stand up far enough to see over it.

I forgot how the NAND chip is on here, it might be difficult to short it. You could try shorting different pins that are exposed or find something to slide under there and short them. What do you have to lose at this point?

I'm sorry you've had this problem, but it shows how the rockchip flash method should only be used when absolutely necessary and flashing through recovery is a safer operation.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Yeah. If only I knew which pin was #1. I would try it. Have nothing to lose to try. Not certain if the exposed pads run to 8&9 pins, but will see.

I only used rkbatch to flash cause nothing would flash in recovery :( then I was stuck at the xdauto screen.

I can hardly see the pins on the nand. And I don't quite have enough arms to do the procedure of the reset short plug in all at the same time. Think this box may just be done for. Feeling a little blah over this matter so think I'll just set it aside for now.

mcu app broken

I've just upgrade to MCU 41 and stock ROM 1.2.2

The 'Update Setting' app crashes on boot.

Anyone has a similar experience?

Logcat shows a missing property

android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x7f050044

it's in the com.bonovo.mcuupdate_and_setting application 'Update Setting'

this app is part of the ROM (/system/app/BonovoMcu.apk)

What can I do to get rid of this? Can I still get out without complete rkflash or batchtool?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Did you by chance change the DPI? On many of Bonovo's apps, they have incomplete, or older layouts/resources for varying screenwidths. This is why the radio app crashes at certain DPI (it looks in a resource folder that has outdated layouts and can't find certain resources).

Could also be a language issue since this is a string problem. If translations aren't complete, I've seen this type of crash. Are you set to English (or Chinese :))
[Android Head-Units] zerahtul:
No I haven't changed the DPI, at least not since flashing. It was like that right after booting.

But I must say the icons look smaller than before.

I am set to English.

Is 1.2.2 the latest available?
