Thank You Renedis

Thanks,

Now I just hope some one can help me with the install on my 2008 Hyundai Sonata GLS. I haven't been able to find anything on the Hyundai forums that I frequent .

Would you guys mind if I shared this thread with the guys over there? I'm sure a lot would be interested in this product.

I'm located in Du Page county IL in case anyone is near by.

Thanks again.

Ok folks, just got done installing the reverse and the front bumper blind turn camera. Posted the video on youtube. Enjoy.

[YOUTUBE]K21rw3sMdBc[/YOUTUBE]

These are the two cameras I used, the Esky for the front bumper and the TaoTronics for the reverse. In the video I hope you guys notice the differences in video quality, even though the Esky is smaller and cheaper the image quality is much better, so I might switch my reverse to the Esky too, well the one with guide lines.

So, finally made the decision to upgrade from my AN21-u. Look at Aliexpress. $678 USD and $115 postage!!!! Does anyone have another link? I clicked the link in the original post

Never mind. I found posts by renedis and stops 91 explaining how Aliexpress works
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
I think they are trying to take advantage of the popularity of the unit (Summer sent me a mail asking me to remove the price from my OP) but I think I would just mail them and tell them you'll buy it for a reasonable price and see what they do.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
You keep saying "aww shucks I'm not really a developer".

I don't think anyone believes you. :)

Awesome work. Is there MCU source in there as well? I'm dying to know more about the CAN bus interface.
[Android Head-Units] Surgent:
Boo urns - potential buyer not impressed with random price hike. Feels greedy.
[Android Head-Units] xenaxial:
Likewise. I can appreciate a small price bump considering the demand, but twice the price? Hah! No.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Please wait until tomorrow. The "discount days" start on 11-11 on AliExpress.com. I think the price will drop back to 339,- dollar tomorrow.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
If someone is interested.

I will get mine from

CarNaviPlayer

www.carnaviplayer.com

I know him from clubtouareg forum, he can buy directly from factory, and check the unit and test before ship. so no suprises when unit arrive

I will get from him 2DIN Adapter, reverse camera and wireless adapter for reverse camera and he already will soldered the correct harness for my car so will be plug and play basicaly

He normaly dosent work with newsmy units, but i asked about this units and get with no problem. interested can mail him info@carnaviplayer.com

May be is not the cheapest , but his aftersales support is amazing.
[Android Head-Units] xenaxial:
Will do, cheers :)
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
OK finaly one new member aboard, just confirmed my unit today.

will try to do my best to help here
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
That's awesome. Unlock device potential level: Master!

Seems to me the next step would be to try and sort out the diffs and get this to build on something like AOKP or CM. I've been getting pressure from my old AOKP team to get back into development, especially now that Lollipop is here. One of my particular specialties was navbar and tablet mode features. I can see where this device would benefit greatly from the old Combined Superbar/Tablet bar (and so would my Nexus 9!).

so, if we can get this to build on one of those platforms, it'll make my re-entry into the android world a little easier, and I can kill two birds with one stone :)
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Source for the android side of MCU comms is there but that looks to be all. The MCU itself is that STM32 micro and I haven't seen any source for that.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Maybe this is any use for the MCU:

http://www.codeforge.com/article/242257

It's a "stm32f103vct6"
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
I was looking at the aliexpress site and especially with the purchasable "groupon" type coupons, this could definitely be the time to buy for anyone who hasn't yet. 11/11 looks like it may see a lot of new members on this thread.

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Not sure if this applies to us. we don't know enough about how their MCU code functions yet, but I'll check it out.

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

My primary interest is perfecting this release and fixing the few problems that exist now. That may change once the gotchas are taken care of and we can look into merging this into an existing rom like AOKP. On a personal note, I like the idea of this being a mostly clean, streamlined rom as that is my personal preference, hence why I own a nexus.

One of the things I want to do is setup a git with a commit of all the changes to the original source download package so that everyone can see whats going on and can help out. Letting everyone download the whole tree over my cable modem would not be so awesome.. need to figure out a way to commit the whole thing but prevent download of the whole thing, lol.

Once that is eventually up, you'd be welcome to take a look and see what we might be in for as far as porting to AOKP. So far I am really enjoying working on Amplified but If everything eventually ends up converging, well thats fine too. :highfive:

Hello

I confirm point 5 THine THCV219

there is the matching receiver in the HU: THine THCV220
[Android Head-Units] SupperSho:
I found a same problem with brightness can not work as normal on MCU V25 and ROM V1.0.8. But brightness can take effect after adjusted by turn screen off --> on

Just confirm that after update MCU V26 and Red's ROM 1.0.9V1.0 , I can adjust brightness as normal

Just share, the easy way for the beginer, we can try to use update package from Summer by download file from: " pan.baidu.com/s/1mg3dzM4 "(not sure it is the same as Red's ROM) , after download please unzip and put file "update.img" in root of SD card on PC , then power on H/U(that attached android box) insert SD card into box , then wait until it prompt to update firmware(auto prompt if unit can read SD card)

Please be note that if your unit can not see SD card , please try to switch between read-write or write protect mode on SD card button.
[Android Head-Units] gklute:
i thinking about getting this but I'm worried about the actual install i haven't got a clue how to wire up a iso cable i have swapped headunits before but normally i just get a remade cable...

does this included a wired iso? looking at the pics it don't.. can anyone advise..?
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Yes, this unit does come with a ISO cable. But do remember, not every wire is connected with the ISO plug.

Has anyone tried to connect a 3G USB dongle ? I can't get it to work! It won't allow me to set an APN.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
As best as i can tell, they just accept connections from any device. They don't actually check pin codes or store pairing records like you normally would.

The biggest issue with this is that as soon as the headunit powers off, it's forgotten what it connected to.

Therefore it can't re-establish the connection itself, the phone or whatever has to try and connect back to the headunit.

By setting up proper pairing, I can ask the headunit to connect to the phone on startup, rather than waiting for the phone to figure out what's going on.

Should be much more reliable.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
This should be enough to get you started:

https://github.com/Nu3001/platform_manifest

Does anyone have any extra time? I personally volunteer for 5 different projects/organizations. We're all busy, but this is a community project so everyone that can pitch in makes it better.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Does that mean they'll actually pair without having to open the Bluetooth app? If so, YES!
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
At the moment pairing setup happens when the Bluetooth app is open, like most phones and tablets.

Once they are paired though, the idea is that they should automatically connect on startup, yes.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Awesome as every time I turn my hu off I have to fight with my Sirius radio to reconnect. So maybe this will make it work a little better if that hu will remember that it was connected to the Sirius radio so the connection will reconnect on power up.

If it does then great I won't end up tossing the Sirius radio out the window like I have wanted to do numerous times now I'm the past week lol
[Android Head-Units] tacopicante123:
Leon you're the man! Thanks for the hard work on this. One question, since I use the Bluetooth connection with my Note 4 but notice that the sound does not come out of the speakers in my car and it sounds very tinny... Is there a way to get this to work kind of like when I connect media via Bluetooth, which uses my car's speakers? I want to be able to hear the voices better without so much distortion. Let me know
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
That almost sounds similar to my Sirius radio issue. Half the time audio won't come out of it. Takes 3 or 4 sync cycles for audio to transmit over the hu.
[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
What kind of car is that?

[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
Hi All,

I've looked through the thread, and I've done a few searches, but I haven't seen a clear answer. Is there a 3G dongle that everyone has had good luck with? (or a list of good dongles?)

I've seen a couple of you have used the Huawei e3131, but it seems that there have been mixed results.(stability issues, etc) What 3G dongle are most people using? Any opinions on which one might be the best option as far as being fairly 'plug-and-play'?

Thanks a bunch for your help!

Patrick

i thought you could use any 3g dongle in a android, no?

So I just tried 160 DPI for the first time.

Wow, why aren't we using this?? This is the way it's meant to be!

I know it makes buttons and things a little smaller, but given how many apps just suddenly started using proper tablet layouts on my box, I'd be fine with that.
[Android Head-Units] Juel-DK:
Where do you adjust this? :)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
It involves changing the system.prop file.

I did it as part of a fresh build, but there are apps to change it for you:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.texdroider.texdroider_dpi&hl=en

Be careful, if you use an invalid value you can cause your box to get stuck in a boot loop.
[Android Head-Units] Juel-DK:
Thanks i have tested it now, the apps looks nice, but it ****s up the bottom icons, and the status pulldown menu! :D
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Sure there's a few things to fix but nothing impossible :)

e3131 doesn't work for me even in "modem only" mode. Despite any tutorial, with 1.000.000 usb 3g dongle ot there I dont see any reason to buy something to deal with to become fully functional :)

just tried, much, much better! Why has no one done this before? :p

the pulldown menu work the way it's meant to be, right for quick switches, left for notifications :)

for now set font size to "very big", install gravity box and set navigation bar height to 150%, set gesture to open status bar more comfortably... This is a real improvement for me, all interface seems to be more defined and neat
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Patiently waiting for BOTH of these to appear in the new ROM. (with the new NAV Bar settings - etc" instead of having to do it manually - because I'm lazy! LoL)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Bluetooth will be there soon ish.

Wouldn't be so sure about the DPI change. It's one thing to like it, it's another to get everyone to agree to changing the default :)

There are also a bunch of fixes that would have to happen first.

One thing that will be there is the change I just pushed to fix the radio ducking issue once and for all (I hope!)

I notice that the Android box wants to pair with the second Bluetooth module. That is funny.

Ha yeah I've paired them before by accident and everything echos lol.
[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
Thanks for the response. I'd probably rather do this as a last resort. Looking over the instructions, I can see a high likelihood of me messing something up . . . : ) I'd rather just buy a modem that I'm confident will work straight out of the box.

Thanks! Did that modem work straight out of the box, or did you have to do any configuration to get it to work?

Also, are there any other modems that people have used that worked straight out of the box? (or with little configuration)

Thanks!

[Android Head-Units] supremekizzle:
Off topic, but I never understood how eating cake is a bad thing when used in such context. Someone calls me a "cake eater" and I'm like eff yes I eat cake. I eat all the cake. Oh, maybe the insult is the resulting diabetes from so much cake eating?

Changing navigation bar (and rebooting) changed nothing for me. The media / navigation etc icons are still " squished".

160 looks a lot better but some things do not. Just spent a while changing icon size etc in XGels but so far not really happy with the overall result. Pandora for instance looks whacked.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
How so? on mine it changed from phone mode to tablet mode, which looked much much better IMO.

I pushed a patch for that last night. The original fix I tried missed a few special cases.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Hey Guys, just a little bit of advise that i can share from my experience over the last few days.

Sadly the build quality of this device is proving much to be desired. Soldering is bloody shocking bad. (now this may be more specific to my unit than others)

Firstly the mini usb broke off the board with very little force, 2 mini usb sockets later i have mangaed to solder one back on and is tougher than every now (not easy with shaky hand like mine but good experience all the same)

Second the Wifi reception on my unit has aleways been bad, so i took a look at the aerial and the soldering again was absolute S*%t. Now the photo is after i re-soldered it, this is very small Coax cable (very very small) but again got it sorted. Now my wifi has full bars when there was only one.

To be honest i have enjoyed repairing this unit and thats only because everything worked out ok.

Hope this helps others
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Thanks for showing that, I've been having similar problems with wifi reception being crap.

Must give this a try.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Guys sorry to bring this up again but im still having this issue.

Now i have set it up exactly as [MENTION=3159413]usafle[/MENTION] has kindly discribed but still the problem persists.

I should be noted that it only goes to sleep after adjusting the brightness when the device has been rebooted. If it happens when the device is running it works fine.

Also there is no option for "Immediate Effect" either but idont think this should matter.

There is an other option in the task properties for "keep devive awake" which i have tried to no avail.

Thanks

Board Quality ... WiFi Improvement

My board was "ok" in the assembly department, but like you - I've also had something 'fall off' the board with little force - the reset button just popped off. I thought it was just my board and/or my pressing it a LOT while getting ClockworkMod going. :D

I've replaced my internal WiFi "patch PCB" and the external 3G dongle "trace nub" with external antennas on a 1m coax cable so I can route them under the dash (plastic) in the car. I now have no issues with the display jumping any more due to 3G or WiFi noise. I used basic indoor external WiFi antennas - TP-LINK brand - 'cheap and cheery' for both 3G and WiFi. I know a WiFi antenna is not the right frequency spec for 3G [3G is 2.1 GHz in NZ - WiFi is 2.4 GHz - 4G is 1.8 GHz], but it's adequate, and overall I have better reception now, instead of having the dongle wedged in under the dash, or the WiFi patch antenna inside the Android Box in the middle of the car.

I'll be taking my unit out sometime soon (there are always more things to do! An under-seat or boot/trunk subwoofer will be going in shortly - Viper4Android can only do so much) and I'll take photos of the modifications I made and the details.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
[MENTION=260727]Tuatara[/MENTION] long time no see. Sounds like you have been busy all the same.

Regards the build quality sounds like this is something that should be put to summer/newsmy maybe we can recieve discount on the next upgrade?? But its worrrying as soldering is such a basic step in the grand scheme of things.

Also i recently installed my underseat sub with built in amp from Focal must say im very happy. Though my 4x4 was very noisy so i have just finished sound deading the whole inside. And i must say it was worth every penny and the many man hrs.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I opened my box up and checked the soldering on the antenna, all good on mine.

One thing I did do was to cut a hole in the lid of the box and move the antenna outside the box.

Next I lined the inside of the lid with aluminium foil.

I didn't know what to expect and thought it might be a waste, but i've gone from not getting a signal on the driveway to getting full bars!

I wasn't going to believe it, but it does seem to have consistently improved the wifi signal.

Admittedly it's ugly and a bit more fragile, but my box is mounted under the seat so it should be ok.
[Android Head-Units] Tuatara:
Busy is an understatement. I have a "personal projects" list (including xdauto) a 'mile long', which I'm still unable to find time for. I have no idea how Zaphod does it! Hopefully I'll be finishing my current project in the next few weeks, and I can get some time for myself again. I've just been taking a few hours out here and there ... not enough.

It's related to the board reflow (i.e. when they put the components on the board). The reflow process may not be perfect, and some components can end up with weaker soldering - often at the board edges, and often the larger/bulky parts due to the unequal heating. It's a standard manufacturing issue - normally checked in production testing. All our boards would have passed testing - but the reflow/solder joint on the larger components would have been weaker than desired. I thought mine was a one-off - failing by virtue of my 'heavy' use of it during development. However, if others are having this issue - then it would be worth mentioning. It is grounds for warranty replacement ... but I doubt it would be cause for 'discount' ... unless Summer/Newsmy are being generous.

I haven't quite got to sound deadening ... I might though ... but an underseat sub is about all I can fit into my car. I need my limited boot space!

P.S> I'm still watching & reading. I hope to join in again very, very soon.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Im sure everybody here will by glad to hear you are still active.

To be honest this is by far the most involed and excited i have ever been in any software project.

Again big thanks to all those working on the development here.... you know who you are.

Newsmy should be hiring you guys for their development. If we ever got the MCU source code yous would be unstoppable.? actually yous are already unstoppable.?
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm the more time passes the more concerned I get for these units, between the lack of software functionality updates from newsmy (seems to be more eye candy updates than anything) to reports now of poor hardware assembly. Just has me concerned that my screen roll flicker issue isn't a cable problem... But more a hardware problem.
[Android Head-Units] Kevinkuensken:
Where can i change from Phone mode to Tablet mode?
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
You change to 160dpi and then some apps use that to change their look from phone to tablet, the HU does not change its settings as its app dependent.
[Android Head-Units] Kevinkuensken:
where can i change the DPI?
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
Go to the Google Play store and into apps, search for dpi selection or dpi changer, make sure you get an app that gets you out of trouble if it gets stuck on a unreadable dpi or you will be stuck with an unusable NU3001.

Should the solder bridge like that? I get terrrrrrrriiiiiiiibbbbbbbbllllllllleeeeeeee WiFi signal even 3 feet from my router so I did some digging. Does that look OK? Also, would it help to have that antenna hanging out of the box? How can I amplify? Thanks.
