That's good news. I just received mine yesterday and just to reiterate the warning to everyone the glass screen edge on the NU3001 is not protected in anyway and is actually chamfered on the inner face. As with glass, any strike to the edge will result in a crack so be very careful with it and I think i'm going to put some tape around it at least whilst I'm fitting it.

I've noticed that the hole in the double din faceplate for my car is smaller than the face of the NU3001 so some dremel and file action will be needed over the weekend. I'm not sure if standard double din faces are smaller than the NU3001 or as its a touch screen and ideally flush to the fascia then that changes the normal head unit mounting. Either way I need to make adjustments.
[Android Head-Units] mother-:
Don't feel too bad, mine showed up today and the screen was cracked right out of the box. I can't believe more people don't have that problem the glass is so thin and unsupported in the corners!

Edit: I guess undersupported is a more apt description, there is metal back there, but it is super thin.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Lol, no apologies needed. When I get a new source version going it will still be based on the 1.0.9 source we have, however I may import the newest binary of the MCU app for the new car specific feature compatability and just decompile it to fix the translations. Should just drop in.
[Android Head-Units] kingamra:
Is this what you had to trim in back for plugs? I figure I have an h2 hummer probably similar inside...
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
yes. The lower plastic part (the vertical metal brace was OK)
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Just a quick update following some on the bench testing of the NU3001. With 2 speakers connected the unit consumes ~0.55A when playing an mp3 over the network and ~0.75A when playing the radio. When disconnecting the ACC/Ignition feed and the screen turns off and unit goes into standby then it drops to ~0.03A. I'm waiting until 2 hrs is up before testing again. FYA my multimeter is very cheap but should be ok for this type of testing.

Edit: After 2 hours where it shuts down it appears to be drawing 0A. This might be the due to the range on my multimeter and its probably drawing something but it shows that they have designed it to not to kill your battery when you are away from the car.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass...

My measurements of the bezel opening are 185.74x101.6 mm. According to the dimensions pic from post #688, I looks like i'd be a

8.16x16.5 mm to short.

Is that where planned to trim the bezel (dremel)? Or did you sit the screen behind the opening of the bezel (screen NOT flush with opening)? I remember you said that you did not use the rectangle spacer from the install kit - does it flush to the bezel without it?
[Android Head-Units] deeznutz1977:
He put it behind

Looks to me like he used the dremel to trim some of the lip off the backside of the trim/ bezel
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Deez is right, it sits just behind the bezel. I actually didn't trim the bezel at all. What I did have to do, is experiment a bit with the depth of the mounting brackets to get the screen to sit flush to the bezel (I'm actually still a little off on the right side, will probably fix that next time I pull it all the way out).

As for your Hummer bezel Kingamra, I think you are in a very good spot to just 'try' :) Which is basically what I did. I was certain I would need to trim the dash bezel, and was surprised at how well it fit without trimming. While the opening is a tad smaller than the overall screen size, remember that there is still some bezel around the glass, and some 'wasted' space on the sides. My guess is if you can set the depth properly, the bezel will fit right around the screen near perfectly. Worse case scenario, you have to trim around the opening a very small amount.

I always approach these projects with a 'worst case scenario'. If I cut the bezel and it sucks, what will it take me to put it back? Then I hop on E-bay and find that I can replace the bezel for less than $100.00, and it's worth the risk for me :)

Turned out looking good mike :). His trim seems to look different then yours that's why I said u may have trimmed it

RDS

HI Guys,

Keep up the great work............

looking around was wondering if this radio would work on this unit. I don't have one yet just wondering.

w_w_w. xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/power-radio-fm-player-with-rds-decoding-2/
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
That's up for debate as it will depend on what newsmy have fixed in the newer releases. I think someone mentioned 1.1.1 has some updates to the radio app over 1.1.0.

As far as I'm aware we only have access to the 1.0.9 source code and not the subsequent patches that newsmy are releasing for the later versions. Its also early days yet as the two main developers reddotnet and zaphod-b * are just getting the build systems up and running and compiling bug/feature lists. The good news is though that newsmy are actively releasing updates that fixes some of the bugs or missing features you'd expect on a unit like this which may provide some way of getting them into the amplified build (I'm no android dev btw.)

As I've just got my nu3001 I'm sticking with stock initially to make sure the unit functions as expected.

* sorry if I have missed anyone from this as I think they are the main devs and there are others helping with other parts such as nestortoledo who is working on themer launcher.

That's for windows not android. From my quick research there don't appear to be many FM radio tuner apps out there although there are some for specific phones that came with a radio built in. There are some SDR type apps as well for USB tuners which I will be trying as I want to see if I can get DAB working. I would say that most of the interfaces look very basic and they think I want to know what the frequency spectrum looks like, which I don't. I think this is a niche area as most android users would just default to using internet radio streams that I would say are not going to be suitable for being highly mobile. Also the tuner in the NU3001 is on the bespoke non-android board and control of it is via the MCU. Therefore I doubt its presented as a standard device to android and the default radio app knows that it has to interface with the MCU. It would be nice for the radio app to be skinnable and handle RDS which may come via updates to the MCU and radio app. I think I've also read here that this app bypasses any equaliser you have installed on android which if true is probably due to it being handled directly by the bespoke board (a guess).

As stated above I'm planning on testing out some usb tuners at some point to see if I can get them to work.

That's just the settings code (the tick box). Find the rest of it and I'll see about integrating it.

BTW. I had a minor breakthrough, and a minor setback today.

I did manage to get AOKP to *try* to boot .. which means I'm on the right track, now it's down to binaries and crap.

Bad news is I spent quite a bit of time cleaning up the make files last night, and forgot to commit them before re-syncing my repo. have to do some of it over.

A little trick for people dont want to leave android box running at night.

All we now If you do a long press on power button(head unit) (android will restart)

But if just after that you switch the car ignotion off. Unit will stay off and it dont restart

Does this unit support full steering wheel control ? What's the button color of this unit, can I change it?
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
buttons are white, and right know no way to change..

And yes have full swc (but no canbus support right know) So inly swc that dosent come with canbsu will work

Canbus i think is partial implemented only, they are working on that
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Where swc = resistive ladder i.e. a different resistance for each button pressed.

Some interesting points on Canbus, on the ISO and the Nissan connectors supplied with my unit the Canbus connections/cables are not present. But on the generic un-terminated connector they are (as pictured on the wiki). Also in the MCU config screen I think it mentions VW and Sonata which I assume means the MCU is common across all the carpad 2s models.

Does anybody know what the canbus used in this are although I assume they would need to be controlled via the MCU regardless?
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I thnk, HU have canbus decoder or at leat is canbus capable (someone post that have a chipset for canbus)

So imagine newsmy is working on it. Dont know if need external canbus decoder or not.

Only the time will say the true :D
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I think its in there, unless they have removed it from some devices to save on cost. The question is how can we access it.

I hope newsmy are working on it but expect they will limit themselves to units for specific models of cars or ones where the canbus messages are fairly well documented. I'm not sure if my car falls into that category. Just understanding how to access the canbus chipset / API would be useful though.

I'm really new to all of this, but I have a small question.

Would this fit in my Suzuki Swift 2005? I found a tutorial for swapping out the old 2 din radio/cd unit, http://datahamster.com/2014/07/08/fitting-an-aftermarket-stereo-to-the-suzuki-swift/

Would this HU be compatible?
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Have anyone tested if reverse camera start as soon as you start backing up?
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Since I have no experience with any of these head units, I was wondering what's the general consensus. Is it preferred that the MCU be basic?

Tappin da crack
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
If you connect the "backup" wire to your reverse lights it switches to that camera input.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
I don't think there is a general consensus, it's really up to what individual people prefer. And saying the MCU is basic was probably not the best choice of words on my part. But it doesn't do much in this case, controls power, switches on the backup camera, handles external inputs from CAN bus and a few other sensors, that's about it - no faders, mixers, etc.

For me the biggest complaint about other HUs is that all of those MCU functions (and some others) come hardwired to their own apps that are usually fugly - they look like a Geocities page from 1997.

On mine I have installed Digital Car, Radio Paradise, Tune In, the car-specific IHeartRadio, and Torque. Aside from that I use Google for everything. For me that's perfect.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
We do need some basic MCU functions like Fader/balance controls. Maybe EQ, etc? Also would like Radio to autostart if last source used (my AN-21U does this, and it can/does start even before Android system has booted).

What I can't recall being mentioned is Steering Wheel Controls. Is there an app for this? Not being able to map/use SWC will be a deal breaker for me.

For those that have purchased this, are there wires on the main harness for SWC connections?

If the system is already rooted, and fairly open, its very possible that developers here could extend this functionality. This has been the limiting factor for growth on the AN-21U. Someone took the time to map out a lot of the MCU points in /dev, but without an unlocked bootloader, source code, etc, very little has been able to be done with that device. On the flip side, the AN-21U does basically just 'work' like it is. Not much needs 'fixing', but the potential has been limited.

This one seems a little more 'raw', but could have more potential in the long run.
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
about SWC, see msg 98...

So I installed this morning in a car....

basic ISO connection for loudspeakers and power + backup camera.

Backup camera works fine, it is operational before the end of booting.

The sound is really good: crystal clear, dynamic and powerfull enough, straigth to loudspeakers ( there are only in front in the car where it is now).

The radio restart always automatically on the last used station when ignition ON (if the wires for power are correctly connected).

You have to stop the radio if you want to use another source (I use N7 Player).

The sound level must be adjusted when switching from radio (radio is much louder than android box).

The screen is really good: crisp, good contrast, colors and luminosity.

I will install some kind of tasker on this HU and my phone to enable automatically BT tethering.

Alltogether, I am happy with this HU.

I sent a mail to newsmy about missing RDS & audiomixer...

I plugged to the DC plug on the box a 5V powersupply with the right adapter from an old phone. The green light came in.

I plugged the mini USB to my computer.

[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Thanks early adopters for answering our question. The comment about the screen contrast and luminosity have really sparked my interest in getting one. Unfortunatly i ordered another HU before ibsaw this. It still being delivered. Its beeen 3 weeeks nothing arrived yet. So i hope it got lost and i could just order this. It looks like the seller is recognizing the gaining popularity of this and is raising the price. Need to make my decision quickly.
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Oh yeah. Today I see they lowered the price and added shipping, which is bad I understand because if you garnered a refund, only the unit price is returned to you, not shipping.

Is there an App/Setting to Map the SWC? I see that connections are there, but any control over them?

YEah that is for a minimum order of 100 pieces as I was told.. I have a good price on one.. considering it since it is base android, most the apps i have will work, with exception of one I have feeling.. I am bummed about the RDS on the radio not being there. if there is another unit that has RDS and USB Host enabled I would be interested in it. I need the HOST for my Arduino Uno and my OBD1 app
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Yes there is one. as there is no SWC on the car where I installed the HU, I cannot test it.

You can assign any function (and there are plenty) to any button.

I will make some screenshots tomorrow.

RDS = Radio Data System.. shows data for songs playing on Radio (plus other data the station might send) it is a nice to have but not needed

My price apparently is the ALIexpress Sale price of $339 plus shipping ( good for another 12 hours)

Sindy the contact will take paypal
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
The SWC works with CAN bus, there are both H and L wires as well as a couple of others labeled "KEY" 1-3 in the harness. The app has an option to map CAN bus signals, IR, or front panel controls. It's all detailed in the manual I posted.

I have to say that Summer has been good about following up with me about my screen problems. She's suggesting I make sure the chassis of the radio is grounded (right nowI just have the black wires from the harness connected to the negative on the power supply). I noticed that if I touch any part of the radio chassis the touch screen works normally so they could be on to something. Unfortunately It's going to be another week before my dash kit and harness adapters arrive. Damned obscure car.

apply rds for androïd ?

Je me permets cette petite intrusion en français car malheureusement je ne maîtrise pas bien l'anglais... J'ai suivi le fil de la discussion depuis le départ et je suis moi-même bien intéressé par ce produit. L'absence de rds et de sortie subwoofer me rebute malgré tout un peu. Sans rien connaître du monde androïd ou même de linux, je me demande si une application RDS pour androïd pourrait transformer la radio du NU3001 en radio rds ou bien cela requiert obligatoirement l'ajout d'une partie physique ou le remplacement intégral de la radio ??

Au cas où, après une petite recherche j'ai trouvé ça :

Spirit FM Radio: Un vrai Tuner Radio RDS dans votre Android!

Voici ce qu'il en disent :

L’application Spirit FM Radio n’est pas une application de streaming, il s’agit d’un vrai tuner FM qui supporte les données RDS. Si vous possédez un appareil mobile qui commence à se faire vieux, ou un plus récent qui ne propose pas de tuner FM, voici la solution.

Cette application fonctionnera sur quelques ROM embarquant une puce FM Broadcom ou TI, mais nécessitera le plus souvent un accès root (voir nos tutos pour rooter votre mobile). Elle fonctionne généralement le plus correctement sur les ROMs CyanogenMod.

Hâte de lire la suite de vos recherches et expérimentations sur ce produit.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Nice detective work. Have you guys asked Cindy if they are going to release the source code? I know its far fetch but who knows.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Thanks for that measurements btw.

I cannot wait for Lollipop to get here, if it ever. I want dual screen option. Tried all the other dual screen options, xposed or through apps and non have work so far.

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

From the link you posted it will fit because the unit they put in is a generic JVC double din unit. You will need to find the dash kit to make the double din look decent.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
What exactly do you think Lollipop is bringing? To my knowledge there is still no multi-window in Android. Lollipop changed up the recents list, and allowed an option to 'pin' an app (ie, make it harder to leave that app - although not impossible). But there is no multi-window in AOSP.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Hmmm...you are right, it is not bringing multi window.....

Saw speculation of it before it was released, but now it doesn't seem like it has that ability.

Oh well, time to do more research on multi-window apps/xposed.

Thanks for the reality check. :good:
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Just to poke my nose in ;) Other than just being up to date which helps with support then I think the only thing I'm interested in would be Android Auto. However that's quite immature at the moment and I'd still want the base head units abilities to be good enough in its own right. I've got lollipop on my Nexus 5 and to be honest I'm not seeing any killer features over kitkat.

So a couple of things to pick up on from my experience;

1. Watch out of the size of the double din fascia hole for the NU3001. The one I got for my car appears to be smaller than standard double din as it wants to frame the screen (i.e. unit sits behind it, not through it) and as its quite deep its not really suitable for a touchscreen. I'm looking for one which is shallower or allows the screen to fit flush with the dash and I'm asking suppliers for dimensions.

2. Also note the NU3001 does not have a frame/bezel surround as the JVC unit appears it does so may or may not look good or be a dust gatherer unless the fascia hole is exactly the size of the unit.

3. Most SWC work via a resistive ladder which this head unit should be able to learn and means you shouldn't need the SWC adapter. Its probably best to try without it and then buy it later however typically to try it you need a wiring harness anyway.

4. CANbus - Most newer cars use Canbus signals to detect when the ignition is on, reverse is selected and the dash is illuminated. If your car is like this then you will need a Canbus adapter which are often advertised as SWC adapters which they also do. Looking at the page you linked to there is no mention of a canbus adapter so you probably don't need one.

Thanks all for now.
