2. No, although there is an app to adjust fade and balance there is no EQ, you need to add one. I suggest Viper4Android.

So it doesn't come with card with maps? So you have to be connected to WiFi all the time? Doesn't it come with GPS antenna? I just got confused.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
You can try navfree as its free and stores its map data on the SD card so no need for an internet connsction, other than for initial setup. Yes it does have a GPS antenna.

OK, for the price it have i imagine quality willl be something like 4 or 5 in 10 scale.

But i basic need it for voice comands, google now .. (its ok and suitable for that use?)

The cable think can be easy solved by a normal usb extension cable of better with something like that http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxNjAw/z/XcwAAMXQkl9RaFCx/$T2eC16J,!zcE9s4g0u3tBR,FCw4gyQ~~60_35.JPG

I also ordered a new mini-usb microphone, one of this used for GO PRO CAMERAS

Let see if it work. Use mini-usb port will be better, as still leave normal usb port free

That file storage looks to be for someone who is working on multiple devices. So, it's definitely hard to tell what that Kernel is for. We already have source from the 1.0.9 release and [MENTION=6095496]red13dotnet[/MENTION] has successfully compiled and installed (its the basis for his Amplified ROM).

I'll try to download it and look around, but it's not playing nice at the moment.

[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Managed to temporarily fit the NU3001 today ready for Chris Rea to start my Christmas journey home tomorrow ;)

So ...

Had to cut of the two tabs at the side of the unit to get the mounting brackets to sit flush.

Despite some frantic dremelling, due to the location of the firewire connector it means the unit will not sit far back enough in the dash to fit the bezel! Will need to order a different firewall cable with a right angle in a vertical direction!

My car is keyless and clearly with the ignition on without the engine started there is too much drain on the battery as the car started reporting low battery! A quick journey down the motorway and back seems to have charged it again and I don't think this was the unit rather all the other overly complicated stuff cars have these days.

Spent a while indoors sorting out the wiring loom before fitting which saved time and just worked straight away. Interesting point to note that despite the ISO connectors having a pin for illumination, newsmy have decided not to use it and you have to connect it yourself.

So impressions from my very quick playing so far ....

Positives

Sound quality from the amp is very good and seems to be a good match for my speakers

Unit is very responsive without any perceived lag

SWC were a doddle to set up and work very well.

Challenges

GPS doesn't appear to be working. I have connected the antenna and although it was in my glovebox I then put it on the dash and it still didn't pick up my location. Is there any setup I have to do to get this to work?

Screen is really too bright at night although it does depending on what is being displayed. However it would benefit from some sort of night mode with muted colours

As said above my car is keyless and once the ignition is turned off I don't appear to be able to unit on from the front panel so I can't use it when parked (without the engine running or I can in serious battery drain ignition on/engine not started state). The stock ford unit had a 1 hour power mode when the ignition is off for this purpose. I may have to look to see if I can provide a similar function some how.

Really could do with a red theme to match my dash board illumination. The whites on the display and buttons are very white though.

Just the general inconsistencies of user interfaces on the various apps are a bit frustrating but was to be expected. Will need to work on tuning the interface and apps as what works well on a phone does not necessarily work on a car head unit especially when driving. Currently using poweramp for playing music, but annoyances here is that buttons are too small, all the album folders require vertical scrolling rather than horizontal and whenever going back to the folder list it always starts at the top! Think its time to play with these sort of things on my tablet instead of sitting in the car with the engine running!

Overall I'm pleased and will look forward to refining this over the next few months.

Music not Pausing on Poweroff Workaround

I found a workaround for the head unit not pausing the currently active media player when it's shut off.

Use Tasker to detect when the Wifi shuts off, and Media Utilities to send a pause event.

New Profile > State > Variable > Variable Value

Set Variable (left side) to '%WIFI', change '~' to 'Equals', set Value (right side) to 'off'

Press the back button

Press New Task > Give the task a name, or you can leave it blank > press the check-mark

Add Action > Plugin > Media Utilities > Configuration > Pause (or Pause Smart, either should be ok)

Press the back button twice, once more to leave Tasker

Now when the Wifi is turned off, Media Utilities will send a pause event to the currently active media player.

Media Utilities is also nice in that you can use one widget to display and control most music apps from the home screen.

What I could see is that my micro isn't working... Where can I test it? "OK Google" doesn't work, maybe i have to configure my mic before (but where?)?

SWC is working well as I can see.

[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Looks nice, congrats.

the micro is a common problem with the unit. The default micro is hardcoded for bluetooth only, it dosent work with android system (skype, hangouts, ok google ...)

Only solution we found right know is use a extra usb mic for android system
[Android Head-Units] defy_user1:
argh i thought about that... Probably they will fix this in future?
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
Dont know if will be fixed or if is fixable at all..

problem as i can see, is that mic are conected to HU, so androidbox cant see this mic inputs
[Android Head-Units] defy_user1:
ah, ok.

Other question:

Is there a way to reorder the FM-Stations? I have gaps between them, cause there were a lot which didn't have a proper signal. The problem with these gaps is, that i can't use my SWC to jump to the next station if there is a gap between.

And I thought that RDS is working? But there are no Station Name etc... and under settings I get the message "Function to achieve" if I choose "EUR" and it will stay at "CHN" if I open the settings again.

Any thoughts?
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Nope, RDS not working. And function to achieve is apparently how they say "function not implemented yet" (so why are the buttons even there...?). As far as reordering, not sure at the moment.
[Android Head-Units] defy_user1:
Is it a software issue regarding RDS?

I did buy it. I have plugged it in. It does 'Work'. Unfortunately not the way we would want. It seems to adjust volume for media only, not main/master volume.

The usb/mic interface board is on the BASE.

They separated the mic boom from the base, just to unmount or quit the plastics. after that they soldered again the mic boom and usb/mic interface board.

So ended with the mic boom only. Appear to be easy, and can be done with any desktop usb microphone. Then just plug the mic conector to a usb extension cable
