I use a computer power supply to power the head unit in my office when I'm working on it, so whatever a computer PSU (or the 12v line in a car) would output I guess.

I think the xdAuto ROM will set the data partition to 3GB, if you use the flash method http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Newsmy_CarPad#Update_via_Computer_with_RK_Batch_Tool

Yes, KeyEditor is very limiting. Thanks for finding a workaround for its limitations. I also want different actions in different apps plus the ability to have long press along with double press actions and this solution seems to solve that. I think a quick tutorial on its usage would be great for the wiki.

Awesome!

Good to know, another needed update for the wiki.

I think the internal mic is behind either metal, plastic, the screen, or all of the above. An external mic definitely helps this. What's even better is that the mic works with Android in the NR series.

I installed mine in a Nissan Patrol and had the same issue with the gap.. I tried all sorts of things, but then I found that Clark Rubber (even Bunnings) had thick water resistant self adhesive black foam like this one "http://www.clarkrubber.com.au/anti-slip-foam-matting.html" of varying thicknesses that you can stick to any side of the deck and blends in without anybody ever suspecting it was anything other than stock setup..

I did this, because I remembered that the factory Nissan deck also had the same self adhesive foam. :)

If you installed the xdAuto ROM using the RKBatchTool, then you would have had 3GB for the /data partition.

You can reflash the ROM using the tool or you can follow this guide to customize the size of the partition.

[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
With the NR5002 you'll need to connect with USB to the connector labelled 'USB Hard Drive'. Unfortunately this isn't the easiest thing to do if you don't have a laptop and don't have a male to male cable.

I'm pretty certain I should be able to create a zip file that can be flashed via recovery in order to change the parameters file, but I'm not sure when I will have time to work on it.

Issue with Sygic and bonovoradar

Hello all,

Did someone experience problems when using Sygic and bonovoradar is on. I'm with stock rom 1.2.0 mcu v48, each time radar is coming up, sygic crash and most of the time some options are reset to default like notification sounds...

Is Bonovoradar is improved in last/next firmware ?

The screen switch method (right scrolling) between android and bonovo apps is not great ! i think problem is coming with that.

They improve that with the door status in MCU v48, now the screen has a better switching (instant , no scroll).

[Android Head-Units] EvolveGTR:
Hello everyone. Let me first start by saying thank you to all of you that have devoted time to putting all of this information together. I found the wiki extremely useful and informative.

I purchased the NU5002 w/2GB RAM. I was surprised to see it at my door in roughly 3 days after payment went through. Thumbs up to Summer and the company for that. I was able to install the HU in my Jeep with minimal issues. I've been getting similar with how the unit works as well as it functionality. However, I've finally come to an issue that I can't seem to fix.

I am not able to sign into my google account to connect with the Play Store. I've gone through and ensured Date/Time/Timezone are correct and that my internet connection is strong. I keep getting the message "There was a problem communicating with Google servers" One thing I've noticed about my device is that it seems to be an updated stock ROM of some kind, meaning the layout of the operating system in my user manual is not what I have. The stock ROM I am running seems to look like what comes with Carpad III. Furthermore, in my device info it shows MCU v50. Not that any of that means anything...It might?! Besides that all the functionality of the device seems to work as it should. SWC works, Internet browsing works, bluetooth...etc It seems like connecting my google account is the only function that isnt working properly.

I appreciate any input anyone might have, and you'll have to excuse me as this is my first android device in nearly 6 years.....things have changed.....a lot!

I also apologize if this has already been covered. I gave up after scanning through 150 of 792 pages of this thread

NR3001 update

Hi to all, i am new here.

I purchased a NR3001, copied xdauto1.1.6c to a flash drive, in the root directory, (at least i think so, because i always get a LOST.DIR directory when i open it in the es explorer), pluged into the otg port, in both modes, device and pc mode, but no prompt or update possible.

I formatted flash drive into fat32 and ntfs in order to test but no luck.

Can anyone advise me, am i doing domething wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
My only thought was that the clock is still incorrect somehow.

Did you turn off the automatic clock settings and set the time manually. Also check that the date is showing in the format you expect (not reversed)?

I assume you can access the google site a browser?
[Android Head-Units] IdleCuriosity:
Well, in the absence of any offers or suggestions of better places to try selling, I have put mine up on eBay, so I guess I will see if anyone in Australia wants a half-price NU3001.

By the way, in preparation for selling it, I first restored it to stock Android, and then, since that seemed such a step backwards from xdAuto, I reinstalled xdAuto. I expected that I would again experience the horizontal white line problem when resuming from standby (you might recall I had been running xdAuto with a stock kernel to solve this issue previously). However this no longer happens; it resumes from standby perfectly now on pure xdAuto 1.1.6c2. So there goes my theory that it might be a kernel issue fixed in a later stock kernel...
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
How much were you wanting to get for it?
[Android Head-Units] presslab:
I installed the NR3001 last week and it's very nice! I bought it from AliExpress seller "Newsmy & pur clothes", and it arrived in the US in a week. I requested the RCA output cable and was charged $6 extra, no big deal. I only received one USB cable, so it's worth asking for the other one if you want that too.

My only issue with the unit is that when WiFi signal is low (like in my driveway) I can hear noise (faint periodic grinding) on the speaker outputs. When the signal is low I assume the WiFi sends a stronger signal. If I mute the signal in Android the noise goes away so this leads me to think that it's not my installation but something inside the unit. Does anyone else with a NR unit notice this noise?

Otherwise I highly recommend it. The color selectable capacitive button backlight was a nice surprise too, looks like a factory installed unit.
[Android Head-Units] IdleCuriosity:
The eBay auction is starting at AU$250 plus actual postage. It is (or at least was) the only NU3001 on the Australian eBay site, so a search for NU3001 should turn it up. Now that it is listed there I won't be considering offers outside of eBay unless it fails to sell there.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
The only way the stock firmware will be able to update with a stock image is via internal_sd or external_sd and since there is no external_sd, you'll have to copy it from the USB storage to internal_sd.

Note this will not update the partition sizes at all because of other coding issues in their recovery.

Problem Android Box

The model is really Wince + Android is installed in a Honda CRV. The Wince is within the Media Center and the Android Box gets out and is connected via firewire cable. What is happening is that there is no communication between the Media Center and the Android Box. When I try to access the Android screen goes black and nothing appears.

I think I'm going to upgrade to a NR3001 myself, then move my NU3001 to my wife's car.

As for the WiFi, I would try moving the external antenna and see if changing the position helps.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Wish I could help, but I don't have one of those devices and I don't think anyone else here does either. I suspect the android portion is the same though, so I would check to make sure the Android box has a power light on when it is connected.

So I can't recall the step by step process for taking the apps we want to add events to for the custom nav bar buttons. For example, want to add Pandora to the music button, want to add AutoMate to the nav, etc.)

Also, recently, a Google app called Pushbullet received an update that allows you to see and reply to texts from your tablet. This, in theory, would make it so my phones notifications including SMS would appear on my NU3001 right??

However, pushbullet doesn't recognize that it is installed on a tablet when on my headunit. So the option to select the NU3001 as the receiving device(tablet) doesn't appear within the app, or in any settings(have Pushbullet installed on two phones, the NU3001, and the Windows beta version on my laptop)

I suspect it is because of a build.prop value? On the latest xdauto rom ....... What value would one need to change in order to have the device seen as a tablet, for apps.

Changing this could also force certain apps into tablet mode(I know Spotify has a different ui specific to tablets vs. Phones, and some additional features)

Has anyone tried notification/SMS mirroring via Pushbullet? And can anybody try to to verify the issue I'm seeing? Please and thank you

Hi. How do I install the TWRP in Official ROM?

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] e.sjolund:
I had the same problem. I was going to make a video about it, but guess I can pitch in and do the video later.

To solve the problem you need to relocate the wifi antenna. The easiest way is just to move it, or buy an external one (that´s what I did). You are going to need an uFL (that´s what the NR5002 uses for connecting the wifi antenna to the board) to whatever connector you prefer. I got an SMA female to uFL connector, like this one. You then buy an antenna that fits the wifi signal. In my case I bough this one, but any antenna with 2,4 GHz will work. Also be sure to bet a matching connector.

The steps are pretty simple, especially since you don´t need to do any modifications. Go figure, there is a bolt on the back side of the headunit that just need to be removed! It´s the biggest screw on the back plate, and its just fastened with a nut on the back side. Just open the top cover on your unit and remove the bolt and nut. You can use the bolt and screw it in the threaded hole on the back plate (the hole in the middle). The result is that you have a perfectly cut hole for a SMA connector, it even got the notch to hold the SMA! (wonder it it was made for it??)

Remove the tape that covers the uFl connector and replace it with the SMA to uFl. Reassemble and enjoy! No noise and full bars!

Hope this helps, and I´ll soon upload a video about it:good:
[Android Head-Units] EvolveGTR:

[Android Head-Units] presslab:
Yes I'm using the stock OS. It works really well, and it seems to not have the problems the older OS's have. There was a lot of junk installed but I just uninstalled the things I didn't want.

Great, thanks for the help guys. I installed the RP-SMA jack on the back in that hole and it did fit perfectly. I had enough room in the back for just a small antenna screwed right into the jack, and I was too lazy to try and find somewhere for the larger antenna.

With the small antenna the noise is pretty much gone, and I have much better signal too; two more bars!

What's going on with my unit?

So I've been having some screen flicker lately and I contacted summer to see about a warranty replacement. She asked me to make a video of it happening. Guess what, I can't replicate the screen flicker. That's good. Then today I was cleaning my car with one of those soft touch brushes, when I ran it over my screen, the screen died and like faded out. Touches were working when I'd touch the area where I remembered the next track button to be it would change tracks. So I unplugged the FireWire from the android box and shut of my car. Went back a little later and plugged it back it, it works! Anyone know what's happening? Did that cleaning brush build up static and fry the screen temporarily? I heard something when I dragged it across the screen and that's when it died. This almost happened before with the same brush dragged across the screen, the screen flickered, but didn't die like it did this time. But the screen obviously isn't fried, because it's on and working now, but it took unplugging and plugging back in the android box and shutting off the car. Maybe that wasn't even the fix, maybe it was coincidence that I did it at the same time. What's going on here and how can I prove this to summer or newsmy to get a replacement? Thanks. BTW it's a n5001

My screen had flicker as well, although it's probably not the same. Some people have had flicker because of a bad firewire cable, or their USB modem was causing interference. Or you could have a bad LCD panel.

At first it would only happen occasionally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzyYjnZUg2s

Does anyone use Bluetooth tethering to their phone for internet access? This works okay for me to my Nexus 6, but after a while the connection will stop working and I will need to toggle the tether off/on. Also every time I get in the car I need to tick the box on the NR3001 to enable tethering, maybe there is some way to automate this or make it default?

Anyone figure out a fix for Bluetooth connecting to phone? I would like to press play on the nav key to launch GPM on my phone and start playing music, but I always have to enter the Bluetooth app before the nav button will work. I use my phone for everything as it's mounted directly above my head unit and I don't like having my play music and everything spread across two devices. I literally only use the HU as a torque monitor, back up cam, and play button to start music. I want the HU to launch directly into torque and ideally I could use the play and pause button right away, but I'm finding I always have to launch into the Bluetooth app before the button is responsive. No Bueno. How can I fix this? Tasker maybe to launch Bluetooth app in the background so it works as it is supposed to on startup? Thanks
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Perhaps a Tasker task that will launch the Bluetooth app, then launch Torque when Bluetooth is connected to the phone?

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

I haven't had much luck with Bluetooth tethering in general, tablets, other phones, etc... so I end up using wifi tether. It just works better.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Good idea.

Anyone familiar with buzz launcher? I'm experiencing wierd behavior, also having to do with that damn play button. When I'm in the buzz launcher, pressing the play button will launch the Google play music app on the HU itself. It's almost as if being in the launcher changes the button behavior. When I go to Google now launcher, it controls my phone. Don't know how many of you know buzz launcher, but thought I'd ask.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I think the commits i've added to xdAuto over the last week will be of great interest to you.

Bluetooth audio should work much better in the next version. I also moved the SW button handling around so it should work without opening the Bluetooth app first.

No builds yet, but I think we're due for another one soon.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I just did a test run specially and yes, it did respond to the SWC without opening the app first.

The only thing I do have to point out, there is a period of time (about 45 seconds for me) after booting up when it still doesn't respond properly.

This is mainly the Bluetooth hardware doing it's own power on and connection routines and also Android just being busy after the boot.

It's still a work in progress, but its an improvement. I'm going to keep working on it anyway.

[YOUTUBE]m9IXzxTel5c[/YOUTUBE]
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
That's awesome work leon. Just so you know, the SWC delay is not a bluetooth thing. It happens for all SWC controls. What's interesting to me about this problem is that it queues up these actions. So it seems like the MCU -> Kernel -> Android connection is being made early enough. But the Android App responsible for broadcasting these events is slow to start, and then deals with a queue. Makes you wonder how the Kernel is storing them?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Thanks, I had a feeling it could be something like that but I wanted to make sure people are aware of it.

As far as I can tell from the logs i've got, the activitymanager has a role to play in the delay and buffering the events.

The other problem is the queue up of events, if there are too many waiting they will cause the Bluetooth module to start failing if they all hit at once.

I'm working on a way to try and limit the rate they get to the Bluetooth module at the moment.
