It's alive.

Mostly.

I think mine is broken. Any touch on the screen registers in about 5 different places at the same time. So for example you tap the home button, it also registers a tap on volume down and a couple of random places on the screen. Typing is impossible. One letter puts half a dozen on the screen. This is a problem. I've determined that if I tap on it pretty forcefully it works as expected, but this is not an acceptable so hopefully Summer will ship me a new one and cover the 120€ in expedited freight and import duties I've already paid. Grrr.

I've got it hooked up to a 12v supply. From a cold boot you're at the home screen in 18 seconds.

Powering off puts it to sleep.

It comes with the Play Store installed (I had to **** with Google Account Settings to get it to load up but finally it did).

It's Android 4.4.2.

In the MCU app there is a checkbox labeled "AVIN". I suspect this enables switching between the cable I have with all the video inputs and the cable someone else was sent a picture of, that has all the line outs. Of course, no documentation whatsoever but I'll try to figure that out. There are also a few other things in there but their labels are in incomprehensible Chinglish, no idea what they mean.

Recognized my Huawei 3G USB modem right away no problem.

Recognized a 160GB HDD right away but didn't show up in ES Explorer

Aside from a few filenames and the already-mentioned MCU, it's all in English.

Radio app is confusing but seems to work OK. I don't have an antenna here so I can't tell you how the reception is.

Installed Digital Car, GN Launcher, Radio Paradise, a few other apps, all appear to work great.

The screen is nice, good color etc but is not exceptionally bright. We'll see how that works in a car in daylight.

First impression: if it weren't for the broken touchscreen I'd probably be 100% thrilled right now. It's a great looking unit, build quality looks good (which can be deceiving I guess) and it all works as expected. This is probably what everyone has been waiting for.
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
The two male RCAs labeled AUX OUT on my "AVIN" cable have a fullrange line-level signal that's adjusted with the system volume control. The "AVIN" checkbox in the MCU app does nothing.

I'm so bummed about this touchscreen.
[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
That is a bummer. Have you heard anything from Summer about it?
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
So the aux out can be considered a "left" and "right" correct? That could work out for me because I'd plan for the android unit to output sound to my Pioneer single din. I want the Pioneer to handle all sound processing and settings to my amps

Tappin da crack
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
hello,

I should receive mine very soon: it was in transit in london on the 6th...

I hope the touchscreen will be ok.

The boot time is really good compared to the KGL (34 sec).

I will prepare ISO plugs for power & loudspeakers, so the swapping will be immediate

The applications I will use are: Radio, N7player, Waze and most important the one I made for my electric car
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Good luck with yours! It's the one coming from Spain, yeah? If that guy actually has them in stock I may just ask for a refund and order one from him.

Hopefully it works OK. It will be interesting to see which set of AV cables you get. Now that I know there is a line out I can make an adapter to work with my car's amp (N.b., there are NO sound controls on the unit other than volume - no bass, treble, balance, fader, etc.). I have my doubts whether it's actually 4x28W or just 2 channels and 4 speaker outputs.

Summer hasn't responded to any of my mails, and she's supposedly been back for two days so I opened a dispute with Aliexpress.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
what is everyone paying for these? I am interested but want to hear what happens with the touch screen issue and if others experience the same
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Regarding the USB Driver & the update process for the Android Box,

I saw on Youtube [YOUTUBE]_BVZXn9n3LM [/YOUTUBE]

and there is a link to get the driver and program (on this forum) here.

I hope there is somewhere an audio mixer for this HU....

Did you look in "Settings"? It seems there is something about "Audio"

Also, what do you see when trying "Avin" ?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Summer finally responded to me and her exact words were: "Regarding touch screen, yes it is too sensitive, need a screen film. Could you try to paste a screen film, then it will not so sensitive." Yeah I don't think so. It sounds to me like a known issue for them, and the one in the video I posted several pages back from the Spanish seller doesn't have a screen protector on it.

She also told me that I have the right harness and that the unit only has one set of line outs. I'm going to send her the photo with all the line outs that her colleague sent someone and see what she has to say about that. In addition the Android box needs an AC adapter to work if it's not tethered to the HU. She says it's not included and I should have ordered one.

I knew going in that buying the first no-name HU from China was going to be a trying experience, so I'm not really pissed off. All part of being an early adopter. I can live with the single line out, and the android-box-on-the-TV-no-adapter thing is really not an issue for me. But the touch screen problem is a real drag, and my friend Summer is in over her head I think. On the other hand, with that YouTube video they have a guy who looks moderately technical who just left his email on an open forum. :victory:

Other questions answered:

AVIN - just switches to one of the two analog composite inputs (shows a blue screen on the HU since I have nothing connected)

Mixer - there is none. This is bog-standard stock Android. Aside from the MCU app there is nothing different.

Price - I paid US$379 plus around US$120 expedited shipping (came to 423€), plus customs got me for another 120€ so total price was about 550€ or US$700. And if the touchscreen worked I would be completely satisfied right now.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
thanks for the updates.. The email I got from newsmy says the unit would cost me $440 USD, before shipping

AV Harness.

Hello I just received mine this morning.

Packing is OK.

Documentation was not for this model.

here is a picture of the AV harness.

RCA: only female

3 yellow Video : Backup cam, Aux IN 1 & Aux IN 2

2 pairs Stereo: AUX IN & AUX out

Steering wheel control: Ground, KEY1 & Key2

a pair marked TXD RXD

a wire marked P.CONT

I will start it very soon....
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Hurry! :)

They told me I need to ground the chassis of the radio to the car. Which is bull****. I'm interested to see if yours has the same problem.
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Hello

I come back with news....

a) my screen works normally....

b) it is easy to install the USB driver and connect from windows (for instance with MobileGo)

c) wifi is Ok, playstore is ok.

d) some screencaptures:

it seems the root access is available:

The radio doesnot present RDS infos:

about:

c) The GPS is operational.

Waze works normally:

d) I confirm there are no Audio Mixer for Balance / Fader / Equalizer.

So my conclusion: this device, as it is today, has no use in a car.....
[Android Head-Units] dharvey4651:
I propose that instead of using a 3G dongle, get a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Either prepaid or from a reputable service provider. For example, T-Mobile USA has portable Wi-Fi hotspots that receive a signal from T-Mobile and broadcast a Wi-Fi signal for other devices to connect to. Take this portable Wi-Fi hotspot and plug it in to a power source that turns on and off with the vehicle's ignition and your stereo will have a constant Wi-Fi connection.

No more fooling around with 3G dongles and more reliable internet will be the end result.

The only caveat to a portable Wi-Fi hotspot is that it may or may not turn on by itself when power is turned on so you may have to mount it in a place where the power button is easily accessible. This could work out to your benefit anyway because you could just leave it powered off when you had no need for the internet.

I personally plan to use velcro and stick the portable Wi-Fi hotspot to the top of the Android brain box in my secret center console compartment so it will all be easily accessible and I'll have quick and easy access to both components in the event that I need to remove one or the other. All wires neatly run through the dash and console so at first glance nothing but the stereo face will be visible.

The GPS antenna will be velcro mounted to the top of the stereo inside the dash so you won't even see that. In theory, it should have no problem picking up a good GPS signal from there. I know my Android phone is capable of picking up 8-12 satellites from inside my house so the GPS antenna for this stereo should have no problem picking up a decent GPS signal from 6" below the top surface of the dashboard with nothing but plastic and glass in between it and the sky.

My 500GB SSD(solid state drive) will be mounted inside my center console armrest bottom compartment with a USB cable run to the stereo through the console and will be easily removable. Open the console lid, remove the top tray(just sits there) and unplug the SSD.

My plans are literally to make it look like there is nothing but a big screen in the dash. Each additional component that needs to be accessible and removable will be without sacrificing appearance or making it obvious that there are a bunch of accessories with wires running everywhere. It's gonna be awesome.

I've attached a little illustration of how I plan to do it. Keep in mind that the dashboard illustrated is of the same vehicle I own but it is not my dashboard shown in the image. Mine is a double-din without all the wires hanging loose and no ugly switches just mounted and no CB radio. My dash is modified and VERY clean looking.

The 2nd image showing the Clarion double din stereo is my current setup.

[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
FYI I have had my HU installed for about a week now. While I wait for the CAN bus adapter to arrive I have no ACC wire so I have the HU connected to constant 12V. In other words, it's always on.

Turning off the power button shuts off the screen, wireless connectivity and the 12V signal to the amps, but the Android box remains powered on (and the green LED lit). Music continues to play, etc.

I mention this because the I've been watching my battery voltage during this time. It's never dropped noticeably, even though the Android box stays powered on all the time. I'd be interested in having an option in red13etc.'s ROM that lets us choose how "off" the device is when it's turned off - all off, off after 2 hours (the default now), off-but-on like in my car, off-but-on-but-with-3G, etc. It doesn't seem like battery drain is going to be a big issue if we want to leave it powered up all the time.
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Thanks for that info! I'm still trying to plan my future setup, and I will def be taking pointers from yours. At this point I have several options in several areas.

Firstly, I had no idea that WiFi hotspots (particularly T-Mobile) could receive a signal! I will be looking into this further to see if there are data caps and what other limits might be applied in case I cannot get a 3g dongle to work. The only reason why I might not prefer using a hotspot is because I'm looking into which obdlink I'll use. I have the Bluetooth, but now there is a WiFi version, which should provide faster, more accurate information. And of course there is the wired USB, which should provide the fastest connection for the most accurate readings.

And of course I want a portable hard drive and iPod connected as well, so I'm unsure whether I can use a USB splitter successfully. I will use some sort of combination of all these connections.

I like your center console idea, I have plenty of space in mine.

As for me and my radio dash tho....

I'll have my Pioneer DEH-80PRS up top and my android h/u in the center

Like so...
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Doesn't sound impossible.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
OK after a busy weekend, installing and configuring my unit on the car im ready to post my impresions.

- Finish of the units is very nice. nice looking, and all work very nice.

Main problems.

- Screen visibility under direct sunlight isnt very good (comon problem on all units and any android device at all)

- The radio reception quality isnt very good, getting much poor reception that with stock radio. Dont lknow why, as i get a antena booster for my car, that should solve this

- I get a background noise, im thinking can bee the gnd. but strange is when open the radio the noise disappear. and when connect Bluetooth device noise come worse, very strange need to make some test to determine what can be the problem.

- With the update 1.1.0 i note there is one music player app included, and radio app include some more extra options, like favorite radios. (Nothing special)

- Sound quality (apart of the noise) is very good,

- The thing to keep the android box runing 2 hours , its very nice, dont liked the idea so much at start, but is nice. Just pluged the andriod unit into a POWERBANK while i use it on tv. and in around 2 hours running, is consume less than 1000mAh, so while sleep should have a ridiculkous battery consume

- The harness with canbus decoder that carnaviplayer.com provide work as expected. reverse signal, dashboard lights, ignition all worked fine, just plug and play

- The rear camera work very nice. on the unit, a some times have a bug delay on it, dont know if can be a problem with wireless or not. (need to test)

- Synced contact with gmail instead from BT App, to avoid duplicated, all worked fine,

By the way so happy- only minor things to solve.

i installed:¡ some app to customize the experience:

- Xposed framework

- Xgel Module https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.theknut.xposedgelsettings&hl=es

- Google Now launcher,

- Viper4andrpod fx

- Car widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anod.car.home.free&hl=es

Allow me to add a star screen ready and easy while drive, with most used things avaiable.

- GMD AUTO HIDE SOFTKEYS https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys&hl=es

This app, allow me to put the navbar on the left. and auto hide. also allow me to change the color and size. Inclusive add shortcut or apps.

Tried to install Themer , but appear that the resolution of the NU3001 is not compatible with this launcher, will check tomorrow installing apk directly instead from play store. I like the idea to create a theme for this unit with themer. Will made our drive live more easy :D
[Android Head-Units] dharvey4651:
The portable Wi-Fi hotspot doesn't "receive a signal" for say. It is connected to T-Mobile's network, receives a 4G LTE signal from T-Mobile and then broadcasts that in the form of Wi-Fi.

[MENTION=6095496]red13dotnet[/MENTION]

I noticed one strange thing.

Was playing to force unit to shutdown complety.

Grabed some of this app form market, that allow me to power off device.

But when i click on it. they just restart, dont shutdown completly.

I just was planing to add a tasker task, to shutdown unit 5 minutes leave the car. but no way.

Any idea how to solve this?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
I have a noise too. It's a low-level hiss (not really a problem) but with a constant series of ticks and pops that sound almost like Morse code. Switching on BT or Wifi the speed and loudness change a bit. Or maybe I could describe it as "GSM noise" when you have a phone too close to a radio. Either way it's not too noticeable when the car is driving or music is playing but otherwise it's really annoying.

Are you using the RCA line outputs? I've tried moving the ground and adding a new ground point but it makes no difference. I think it's coming from inside the HU. If it's true that starting the radio app (I haven't tried) stops the noise then it's probably something like traces on the MCU PCB that are too close to something else. It may take a hardware fix or not be able to be fixed.
[Android Head-Units] Ekki_221:
No Background noises here. So probably not a general NU3001 Problem.

The only annoying thing is when the Internet Radio is interrupted by a phone call, the Music does not come back on. I have to restart the Internet Radio app (xiialive) or sometimes restart the whole unit.

Anyone a solution or Workaround for that?

Regards,

Ekki
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Yes is exact that low level noise.

If you put volume at maximum, but with no app playing, you will se clear.

Notices also, that when have phone conected by BT, if turn on the phone screen. noise are higher, but once turn off the phone screen, noise come to normal one..

The series of ticks and pops i just heared yesterday after install viper4android. before install viper4android there no ticks and pops one mine .

And not, im not using RCA.

Using the normal harness, My car come with amp. in stock radio. and wires are conected with the harness, so dont need use RCA right know
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
+1 for low level hiss and using RCA outputs.

I've had the pops and cracks and hiss noises since the start of the until before install of Viper

At least your unit interrupts whatever your listening to. On incoming call, my unit does nothing.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Not sure yet, afaik, the h/u power button just sleeps the unit and holding it power cycles. Think something is in the android box is hard coded to remain powered on when receiving a signal from h/u. I'll look into it. Waiting on parts to arrive the moment.. with black Friday sales, I though it best not to wait and even though donations are nowhere close, I dumped in the rest out of pocket for my build machine. (that hurt).. Should be able to do some tinkering a bit more regularly once that's all up. I suspect that the same service that governs the 2 hour power off is to blame here.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

As complex of a setup as this is, I'd suspect a ground loop... might need isolators ? As far as some of you pause on call and others don't... are you all running same fw version? Whats different?
[Android Head-Units] Ekki_221:
By the way, did you solve the issue with the Screen flickering of your unit?

Was it the Firewire Cable after all?

[Android Head-Units] usafle:
The install shop grounded my unit to the car. Don't know if they makes a difference in any of this?

I'm running your ROM + MCU is at latest version. My phone can be locked or awake, makes no difference. It's a Nexus 5. It's connected to the HU BT, not the android brain. I have BT music disabled in the app.

I've still got the cable sitting in the back seat. No time to take it back to the shop yet. I'll post here when it's installed. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
If you are still using a bad cable and get clicks on all but radio, I'd guess its the cable then. 1.0.9 stock is the same As amplified afa the Bluetooth is concerned. Add it to the wiki and I'll see what I can do? It'll be easier for me to track issues if we keep them centralized.

NM, I'll update the wiki and add a know issues section based off 1.0.9, as that's the source we have and I have seen absolutely no good reason to use stock 1.1.0. Everyone should feel free to add issues there, as long as they are with 1.0.9 stock / amplified109v10 and need to be added to roadmap for Amplified.
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Hello

I went back from 1.1.0 to 1.0.9 amplified yesterday...

No reasons for me to go to the next one: it works fine as it is for my use...
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
So you have a factory amp that is connected to the ISO harness of the H/U.

The H/U has a built-in amp to, so you are amplifying your sound 2 times. That will result in loads of noise/ticks and pops.

You will need a High/Low converter to solve this problem.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Your are right.

Will take a look, Strange is stock radio works on same way, will check how the stock amp works. may be he already have high/low converter included. Sound quality is good, inclusive at hight volume. noise only apreciable when no sound playing

I actually had difficulties in finding a suitable fascia plate for NU3001/Hyundai Santa Fe 2007. I ordered one (2DIN) kit from eBay, but the fascia plate turned out to be of wrong size with inner measurements of 173*98mm, which is typical for manufacturers like Kenwood, Sony, etc. I finally turned to Summer - and to my surprise - she was able to find, order and deliver suitable fascia plate (178*100mm) + mount for me.

I just received the fascia plate today, so I'm planning to install the unit in next couple of days.

ASK for right size before purchase. "Original" fascias have different size as needed.
