Zanix. As always thank you for your hard efforts on the wiki, for creating it and maintaining it.

IMO... it would be best to rename the thread to carpad 2/3 as you stated.

Mainly because there appears to be very little difference in hardware and if the custom roms work on the new device it hardly seems worth separating.

Maybe it would be best to wait till all this is confirmed (by the first buyer who is also willing to confirm all the above)

Just my opinion.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
My opinion would be to name it Carpad 2/3 when it's confirmed the same MCU/ROM works on the 3. The only reason I would see to split, is if somehow they do not run the same firmware, which seems unlikely.
[Android Head-Units] MrTSolar:
Thanks for your replies. I was mainly just wondering how The AV inputs were handled. I know the backup camera switches based on a 12 volt signal on a certain wire. Either manual or automatic, it doesn't matter to me, as long as both audio and video work.

As for standby time, that may be something I'll have to work on once I get the unit. I am hoping that they didn't program the shutdown properly and it simply just cuts off the power. Then the AB would sleep indefinitely as it keeps power from an external source.
[Android Head-Units] shomesomesho:
Excuse me guys, as I'm new to these devices, but could someone tell me the difference between these two products? They seem the same beside the price:

The xdAuto ROM (as of v1.1.6c2) adds more options for AV selection with a switcher app as well as adding Android Intents so you can use something like Tasker.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001/Custom_ROMs#Android_Intents

https://github.com/Nu3001/xdAuto/blob/master/avswitcher.txt

I think the head unit just cuts power (after the programmed timeout) and does not tell the box to shut down. The xdAuto ROM has options in the MCU settings app to control the timeout values. There is a replacement apk for the settings app for the stock ROM somewhere.

I also went and updated the Android Intent sections in the stock ROM and xdAuto.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

I think one is the NU3001 and the other is the NR3001, or they both might be the NR3001. I really can't tell, Newsmy doesn't seem to do a good job on labeling their product pages. The second link says NR3001 in the title, but the details say the model is NU3001 but the specs (32GB ROM) show that it's a NR3001...

The NR series (CarPad 3) is new revision of these stereos. We started out with the NU series (CarPad 2) and is mostly what is covered in this thread.

We are mostly sure that the NR series is compatible with the NU series, as the only difference hardware wise seems to be a larger ROM size (8GB vs 32GB). We will not know for sure until one of us gets a NR series unit.
[Android Head-Units] shomesomesho:
So If I buy the one in the first(cheaper) link, worst case is that they send me an NU instead of an NR?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Yes, I have one on the way (actually a NR5002, the 8" version). When I receive it I will post more information. I've got a NU5002 in my vehicle I can compare against as well as a NU3001 on my desk that I use for development.

[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I hope the newer units did not change the radio tuner. The silabs is a nice tuner.
[Android Head-Units] MrTSolar:
OK. One more question. Does this unit have Google Play Music pre-installed? I'm hoping not as I would like to put an older version on it (4.1.513), before they went and made the UI full of bright, pastel colors, not something you want in the car at night. I know there are other apps, but I think this version of Play Music has the best looking now-playing screen, as well as artist grouping similar to Windows Media Player in Windows 7.

I have a Galaxy S3 mounted in the car right now with Rocket Player installed. It's a nice player, but having the cover art take at least half the screen negates the dark theme.

Just ordered an NU3001 (hopefully the 2GB RAM model, the eBay listings all contradict themselves). The 32 GB of storage vs. 8 GB for the NR model doesn't matter to me as I have a 64 GB flash drive for my music, and caching Google Maps doesn't take up that much room.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I assume if you could find an APK of the older version you could put it on.

Lately i've just been installing the latest one from the store and using Automate beta to control it.

If ducking is lowering the volume of the played track, poweramp does that when my nav tells me where to go. Although the ducking period is 2-3 secs too short.

Newsmy & pur clothes on AliExpress

The AliExpress store linked on the wiki represented by Summer listed the NR3001 as on sale for 4 more days. I was planning to wait for Sr members to review the CarPad 3, but it's going to get cold out - so I'm getting anxious about ordering. *Just* as I was about to purchase it, the sale ended abruptly. It's back up to $680. Maybe they're running low in inventory?

Another seller, "Newsmy & pur clothes" are offering it for even less with $46 shipping to the US. Has anyone purchased from "Newsmy & pur clothes"? Are they trustworthy? It seems there are at least 3 different Aliexpress sellers who use "Newsmy" in their seller name. I'm not sure what do make of that, but it seems suspicious.

I emailed Summer to inquire about a price match. However, I also emailed her a week ago and have not heard from her.

Thanks!

hi, i have an Audi A3 with an old BNS5.0 NAVI. I Bought the NU3001, but I'm having trouble with the wiring, my OEM quadlock plug doesn't seem to have a +12V supply from ignition, did anyone in here have the same problem/ if, how did you solve this, did you run a separate wire from the fusebox:confused:
[Android Head-Units] shomesomesho:
Have you looked on a forum specific to your car? 12V+ is a common requirement for headunits so you're probably not the first to have this problem .
[Android Head-Units] kravmangoon:
http://audiforum.us/threads/bns-5-0-pinout.4918/

My guess is #10 for the B connector but that's assuming this is the right pinout.

Alternatively you could probably run a new wire to the fuse box (something that's already currently switched)?
[Android Head-Units] JanDK:
hi, and thx for your reply. Yes, I did look around on various audi forums, but so far, the only option is apparently to run a wire from the fuse box...or follow the recommendation from the post below:)

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Hi, thx for your reply, sadly quad lock connector does not have a B connector, only A/C/D connector...

According The pin out on my D connector, it should have a switched +12V on pin #13, but I cannot measure any voltage....
[Android Head-Units] kravmangoon:
Pin 13 might just be the remote wire leaving the stereo (so there isn't anything to generate voltage when you remove the unit). Then again, same could be said for the CD changer wire I pointed out (if the CD changer was external to the unit).

I found this which might help: http://www.tehnomagazin.com/Auto-radio-car-connector/Audi-Car-Radio-Wiring-Connector.htm, I would need more info on what your plug looks like to help any further. If you can get me a picture of the plug I don't mind doing some searching.

[Android Head-Units] pfdeadpool:
I'd like to see other how other people have set up their home screens/UI to get some ideas for my own. I'll probably start a thread in the general forum after I've figured out more about what I want/like about my own. I just finished setting up Apex launcher, and have basically put everything I might use on the homescreens, & after a month or two will go through and remove what I don't use. I'm not sure how using widgets for my media players is going to work, but I like the huge variety of customization options I know Apex has. I'm not familiar with the auto-centered launchers, but they seemed much more basic from the pictures & videos I found when I was choosing. Not saying that's necessarily better or worse; I can see pros & cons of a simple vs complex interface in an automobile, time will tell for me.

[Android Head-Units] JanDK:
Hi again:), actually I've managed to make I t work, ran a separate +12V ignition wire from the fuse box, and now it works:good:

BUT, I'm only getting sound from the front speakers:eek:

Searched around, apparently the rear speakers are fed by an external amp in the trunk.

Now, how the .... Do I fire up this amp with the HU, any clue:confused:

Sadly I'm yet not allowed to post a link to server with pics of the Quadlock connector...
[Android Head-Units] kravmangoon:
Are you certain that both outputs aren't going to amplifiers?

Anyway here's what I'd do: "P. Cont" coming from the second harness is your remote wire. Use that as the amp turn on.

I'd try using the lone set of RCA outputs on the NU3001 and feed that into the rear amp's low level inputs. Behind the stereo there probably is a set of low level inputs to the rear amp feeding from the original stereo. Cut an RCA cable in half and plug the RCA's into the NU3001 aux out, splice the wire's into the low levels running to the amp.

You will lose Fader control but you can solve that a couple ways. I'm assuming the RCA outputs correspond to either the front or back outputs in the built in balance/fader amp. Maybe you can run the opposite high-level outputs to your front speakers and use the balancer/fader app. Otherwise something like this for instance might work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J226O?keywords=line driver&qid=1446310039&ref_=sr_1_8&sr=8-8
[Android Head-Units] JanDK:
I'll be back later on, thx a lot so far:good:
[Android Head-Units] kravmangoon:
I'm assuming all you need is this to get the amp running.

Look for an open switch on the original stereo diagram. Pin 13 might be the wire you're looking for but I'm sort of guessing without seeing the pinout diagram.

That sounds right to me. Line Out Rear Right(+), Line Out Rear Left(+), and a common ground (-) between the RCAs.

[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Just one note about AutoMate.

There is an option to keep the screen on all the time, it is used on phones to stop them sleeping while the app is running.

Don't enable that option!

In our case the headunit doesn't sleep during driving anyway and that option seems to interfere with the sleep and timed shutdown options of the headunit.

I've come back to my car several times and found even after 12 hours the unit doesn't shutdown (1 hour timeout set), the screen just turns off. I tracked it back to this option which I must have accidentally enabled at some point.

Back to having issues, start car; radio boots, wait for it to settle and widgets to show up; start playing music with Poweramp and it will play for about 45 seconds and then stop and completely lock up poweramp and any other media player I try. Still running XDAuto and I have tried a clean flash, starting from scratch, etc. I don't know what else to do at this point. The one thing I want this thing for it can't do. Nav works most of the time but I can't get a solid media experience with this thing. Thinking about taking it out and popping back in my stock Jeep radio..... :confused::(:rolleyes:

Hi everybody:)

I just recieved my Newsmy NU3001 and ofc. its full of chinese apps and whatnot.

NR3001 CarPad 3 Ordered

I've been watching this forum for nearly a year now - and finally purchased a Newsmy headunit. Summer emailed me back and I've placed my order for a NR3001 CarPad 3. I will be installing it in my 2005 Nissan Xterra. I have a Logitech C270 on it's way for the noise canceling mic and dashcam video. I also plan to toss in a sd card and will be installing a rear view camera. Initially, I'll run it stock but hope to install xdAuto if it proves to be compatible with the NR3001 CarPad 3. I'll be happy to answer questions once it arrives, but suspect I won't be the first to receive one.

What else should I get for the install? Is there a recommended USB hub? Anything specific for my Nissan?

Thanks!

Received NR-5002 today. Haven't had a chance to take pics yet but I will try to this afternoon.

There is definitely a built in mic somewhere (haven't found it yet) that is connected to Android and the external mic plug also works with Android. Haven't tested as part of the Bluetooth portion but I suspect it works with both.

I expected the Android box to basically be crammed into the Heat Unit but it's all on a single board inside the unit.

Quick edit: The connector that supplies power and speakers is the same as the Carpad2 but then there 8 other smaller connectors to break out the other parts, two of them are marked "Spare interface", can't wait to dig in and see what those are hooked to (if anything)

Carpad 3 Pictures

I took some pictures tonight, full album is at http://imgur.com/a/waGOP. I included just a few that I took in this post, so look at the album to see a bunch more.

This is a NR-5002-02-H-H0 so other models might have a slightly different configuration. This unit came shipped with MCU v47 and ROM 1.2.7. Even the Android "About device" Model number still says "CarPad-II-P" so it's definitely all based on the same codebase.

There is a 5.1 Audio output connector on the back, but a cable was not included.

There is an internal mic on the back of the daughter board that has the bluetooth module on it. I don't see any obvious holes to allow audio to pass through so when this is installed in a vehicle I'm not sure how useful that internal mic will be. Fortunately the external mic plug works on Android and the HU bluetooth module.

There is no SD card adapter on here. So I suspect USB storage is going to be the preferred method of expanding the storage capacity.

I could not find a reset button anywhere to force the android portion into bootloader mode. Without having SD card or reset button I'll have to take the software slow until I can find out how easy it will be to get into bootloader mode.

Edit: Fortunately a lot of the test points are actually labelled on the board. Underneath the heatsink there is a point labeled ADKEY_IN which it sounds like grounding this out will force it into recovery. So at least there should be a reset, even if it's buried deep inside. Maybe this is available on one of the undocumented interfaces.

Do you know if it's using the same audio amplifier as the NU models? I'm curious to see if they also added a proper equalizer somehow.

Thanks for the pics! Very interesting.
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
I'm definitely digging the modular setup with the connections
[Android Head-Units] MrTSolar:
Interesting improvements/changes to the NR over the NU. It appears that now the AB is integrated into the HU. And yes, that modular plug design certainly reduces unnecessary wires behind the radio.

I just installed my NU3001 last night. It came in a box with a wood grain vinyl wrap :laugh:. Made up a harness to go from my car to the ISO connector as I didn't want to cut the wiring on the harness that came with the Carpad. If I decide to keep it I may clean up the harnesses.

So far, I'm impressed. The sound quality is pretty good for not having an equalizer. I ran out of connectors, so I don't have the rear speakers hooked up yet. I was able to install an older version of Google Play Music (4.1.153, best UI for a car I think, plus it will play .flac files), as well as the app for my car. One app I'd like to have on there won't install as Google says it's not compatible (PlugShare). The lack of an internal compass also doesn't let Google Maps work properly. Right now, I'm using a Pebble SmartWatch for steering wheel controls since my car didn't come with a factory SWC setup.

Once I have some more time to work on it, I'm going to see if powering the AB externally will keep it in sleep mode perpetually while the car is off. The AV input works as desired (simply open the AV In app), but I need to electrically isolate my PS2 as all motor noise (disc, fan) come through the speakers, almost drowning out the audio output.
