[Android Head-Units] Stormbringer!:
I got issues.... :)

Ok, so after purchasing this unit a long time ago and lurking here for a while I finally did my install.

I have a toyota xle which has a stock amplifier somewhere in the car (did not anticipate that) so I have to use the front line out. I tied one of those speaker to line level outs and it sounds HORRIBLE!!! So yeah, just front speakers for now. Have to say, kinda feel like its a bad design. hope someone finds the rear line level out if it exists somewhere.

Anyhow, so I updated to the 1.1.6b2 rom using the SD method since I couldn't figure out how to get that RK tool to work. Then I went to up date the MCU from v27 to v40 but I cant seem to get the updater to "find" the updates. I put it on the root of the external SD and that didn't work. I read somewhere back that maybe putting it on the internal SD might work. Well that's fine and dandy but I cant seem to access my internal SD now. It just says its unmounted in ES explorer.

Anyone run into this?

Thanks!

I had the same issues with iGO. You're better off using immersive mode through GravityBox. You won't have any problems with iGO then.

Guys, I've missed much since the last time I was online.

I saw a mention of syncing files.

What needs to be synced to the FTP? I'm missing some releases (still running 1.1.4)

Remote Control for NU3001

Hi people,

OK i searched high and low for a decent steering wheel control and I cant seem to be able to find a decent one that i know will work. I don't want to 'spam' this forum with questions about how it works. So is there anyone of you kind enough to explain to me what i need to look for and send me a PM so we can chat please?

Thanks.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Anyone interested in setting up a website?

I can set up the website + hosting (from my own NAS) and pay for the domain name (12,- euro for a year).

But I do not have the time to sync files. Someone else has to do that (I'll give read/write rights via FTP).

[MENTION=4173803]Bokomaru[/MENTION] - im sorry that i keep referring to yourself, you are the only one helping out on this issue and hope not to offend

Anyhow i have figured this out, i was on the right track.

My tasker profile is set to receive the "reverse signal Intent" once received the first task is a "variable Add" which acts like a counter, when it is trigger twice it resets itself, i then have the "launch AvIn" to open only if my variable equal 1 (first trigger)

Once i dis-select reverse the "reverse signal Intent" is picked up again by tasker. This time the variable will be on its second trigger and will then reset to 0, the AvIn app will not launch as the variable is 0.

I then have a "kill AvIn App" setup to trigger only if the variable is 0.

Perfect??? This all works fine except the when the app is killed the HU locks up on AvIn picture and no way to exit the app, i either have to kill power or select reverse again and press the screen before tasker tries to kill the app again. In normal operations the only way to exit the AvIn App is by a screen press (correct me if im wrong) so i then decided to emulate a screen press in tasker instead of killing the app this works as expected but sadly still did not close AvIn.

So im now guessing that the HU is in control of closing the AvIn app by sending a signal to the android box to close the app.

I'm all out of options here, maybe its not meant to be?
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
No offense, this is a fun puzzle to work on. Looking at the code the avin app doesn't revert the video/audio modes onDestroy but it does onPause so I think if you have tasker open a new app or do something that changes focus it should probably work good.

Another thing to try would be to simulate a back button preas or home, I do recall hitting those when testing AvIn and it paused the app and returned video/audio.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Thanks mate, will try this tomorrow
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
This is exactly what I was talking about.

Haven't tried to update the MCU with the latest xdAuto, anyone else try it yet?

Some MCU updates (to v40), stock updates (1.1.5, 1.1.6), xdAuto updates (1.1.4, 1.1.6 b1-3), maybe some other misc files.

Site could potentially be a good idea, and I would love to help if I had the time.

I would feel better if it wasn't hosted from someone's personal home server though since professional hosting usually has better uptime and bandwidth.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
I am trying to understand everything and keep up but I am barely managing. With all the sound problems mentioned (probably there are even more than i have yet followed), would you recommend this product? I had high hopes for this...
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Yes that's true, but it also costs money for hosting (+- 50,- euro a year). I could set this up and build a website, but paying 50,- for a website is a little bit to much for me.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm thanks will look into that :) Read about it but wasn't sure if it would fix igo or not, how's the audio with igo? I know on the other rom I was running after a reboot of the box. I would have to reinstall igo or reset it so I would have voice guidance back.

Next would be getting tts to work in igo for a road trip happening in August. Joy lol

Also could someone direct me to a eBay a.c. adapter that would work on this box. I bought one but the plug is to big. There was one posted a long while back but the link is no longer active Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
That's a great little device. Unfortunately I had already ordered the inline device I linked. If the bass still feels too loud, I may order one of those.

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

What sound problems? This devices biggest issue (and the only real one that we can't fix via software) is a lack of line outs. It really should have 4 outs and a sub out, with a way to control mixing via MCU. Physically we only have the L/R output so makes it difficult in dealing with amps, etc. Depending on how fancy you want to get, the Android box does have HDMI out, and there were some early discussions about using that as the output source. Don't remember how well that worked out for everyone.

I have (and still have) multiple versions of android head units. This is the ONLY one that has given me the freedom to do what I want from a software standpoint. Some of the others are better setup out of the box (AN21-U), but don't have near the long term potential that we have with this box. If you like the 'stock apps' on some of those other devices, you might be better going that way. If you have patience and/or the desire to get your hands dirty with code/theme/art, etc, then this is clearly the only one to consider.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Yes, I am very satisfied with the audio from this. I have gain and frequency controls on my amp for my sub. I am deciding on adding in an amp for my regular speakers as they are just powerful enough, but I think I want a bit more.

The issues people have been having are mistakenly wiring the speaker outputs to factory amps which results in really bad sound, or dealing with having only front L/R line out. Having only the front line out means that you cannot control fade or sub-level from the stereo itself. For me it's not an issue because I only use the line out for my sub and do not adjust the fade. If I add another amp for the speakers, it still won't be an issue because I don't ever mess with fade.

I have access to space on servers or rack space at a hosting company, I would just need time to set it up. Placing a server there would cost me $50/year but I'm going to do that anyway.

The wiki has a link to a power adapter.

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

^^^ I agree with all of this

I would like to do some line tracing once day to see if there are other line outputs available that are just not wired to the harness.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Ok guys i apologize for not understanding. I want to go through all the whole chat but it would take me too long. Are there any schematics yet for wiring? I like the filehost idea. Are there any tutorials for newbees as well? Bottom line i think my final issue is just figuring out some physical controls for this since i do not have steering wheel controls. I was thinking attaching a mouse to the android box and then somehow mapping the keys i want. Tincore keymapper might work but i am not sure yet. I am guessing that since this has 2 bluetooth devices (correct me if i am wrong - OBD + phone), if i pair another bluetooth device (the controller) one of them won't function while the other is paired?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm so I just turned my car on and my screen on my radio started going haywire on the xdauto latest release. Was fine on stock rom. Anyone else have any screen distortion issues ? The screen with flash the normal screen & then go all snowy then flicker back and forth
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
The Head Unit Bluetooth (phone calls, BT audio streaming) only allows 1 device connected at a time. The Android bluetooth (ODB, keyboards, mice, etc..) allows many connections.

What do you mean "schematics for wiring"? The wiki shows all of the wires and connections on the stereo.
[Android Head-Units] boschie:
Minimal build from github?

What do i need to do to build a minimal system from github? And with minimal i mean as minimal as it is possible.

What is needed for this device to get it working as a car-radio and the possibility to install apps from Google Play?

Has anyone tried Spirit1 ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm_unlock ) on this Nu3001?

I have tried Spirit2 but this did not work.

Anyone any experience with these programms?
[Android Head-Units] Duck Dodgers:
Sounds like some loose connection. Check cables and reboot (sorry that's the IT support in me :p)

SDR Touch

Anyone experience with SDR Touch ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=marto.androsdr2 ) ? What would be the best dongle for Europe (esp. NL)?
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
I shall spend more hours investigating then :)

I'll probably end up getting it and experimenting with it and try figure out how to wire the sound then. Using hdmi seems like its a great idea.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Hmm nope not a bad connection. Tried that. My have to reflash to a different rom and see what happens. It's acting like a video card issue. Perhaps overheating ? Never had this issue before on stock or tautra (sorry for spelling lol)
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Using hdmi or usb audio off the android box won't receive audio from the radio or any of the aux inputs with the existing MCU/HU code.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Spirit FM will not work since there is no FM chip in the Android box. The FM/AM radio is completely in the Head Unit.

Not sure on this one. I have used SDR Touch before on a Nexus 7 so I have a DVB-T tuner around but I haven't tested it on the NU3001 since the FM radio works just fine for me.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
SDR works great. Using it with the Ham bands.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
SUCCESSSSSSS at last! Tried it again this morning using "input method" - "back" (which i did try last night) but this time i disabled and enabled the profile and Voilá it does exactly as i wanted.

BIGGGGG thanks to to Bokomaru - This was all i learning curve for me but i thoroughly enjoyed it (i think) - jee you swear i just released a me Custom Rom or something

For anyone else wanting to setup this here is the Tasker Profile i setup -
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Just tried to reflash xdauto. Same issues :( guess I should of just left my unit alone as it was working fine. Going back to the tuatara rom to see what happens. Fingers crossed
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I've just finished making my first build, took about 3 days just to get it all up and running on my internet connection here and blew through a third of my monthly data allowance!

At least that's a one time thing. Looking forward to being able to start making changes next!

Can anyone point me toward instructions on making an update file?

I followed the instructions to build a full image and used rkbatchtool to apply it but in future i'd like to keep my settings and apps intact if possible.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
If you use "make otapackage" it will create a zip that you can use to update via recovery. If you want to get more advanced you can create your own update script.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Cool, I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Awesome, congrats. I'd really like to get it so you can specify the input to switch to, but its a low priority right now. Found out we had a power surge this weekend while I was away that took out my computer and some other stuff. Replacement parts on order
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Flashed back to the tuatara rom and the issue still persisted but then things randomly went back to normal? In going to try flashing stay to b2 and see if things work. As my first flash was the current b3
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Let me know if otapackage works for you. For some odd reason, I can build full images just fine, but my otapackages fail on the update-binary. Can't figure it out.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
When I'm back in action I need to do a "repo diff" to see if I've made any other changes to get that to work for me.
[Android Head-Units] Azerty093:
Hello, sorry if my questions are stupid but I'm french and the translation "Google" I can not find the answers to my questions.

I have a polo V ( 6r ) 2010 and I wonder if the bluetooth for this unit is compatible with all iPhone ? The microphone is of good quality?

The canbus is compatible for all buttons ?

The parking sensors automatically work on my car ?

The air condition will also be displayed or it is available only on Golf ?

Sorry again for all his annoying questions, but I really struggle to follow the thread of the discussion. Thank you for your help
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I can't help with your other questions but the Bluetooth works well with my iPhone 6, both for phone calls and music streaming.

I haven't had any complaints that people can't hear me properly, they used to complain a lot about my previous Clarion system.

I'm using the supplied microphone stuck right behind the steering wheel.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
I'm really happy the way it works at present as it still uses the "reverse video input" and the avin for audio only. That way when i use reverse while the android system is booting i still have reverse display.

Sorry to here about the power surge.... we pay them enough money maybe they will cover your costs?????
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Zaphod-Beeblebrox,

what is the intent needed for the speedometer button on the navbar? I know you mentioned something about it with torque. I have an OBD 1 program I want to try out for that and will contact the Developer to hopefully add what is needed to be able to use the button

THANKS
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
I too have a question about the nav bar. Can we change the gps app associated to the button?

Unfortunately not enough damage to make an insurance claim, but a hassle nonetheless. I used to have spare hardware laying around but I basically only do volunteer work in IT so I don't have a budget for that or even the latest and greatest stuff.

*hello*from*New*Zealand* ...

Hi everyone,

I've been following the thread when I can, but I'm unfortunately deep (deep!) into a huge project with critical deadlines. That means I can't join in the fun. But in a few weeks I'll be (frantically by the looks of it!) trying to catch up with everything happening.

Congrats on the builds from source - amazing work!

For anyone still experiencing/worrying about the screen flickering issue ... it is entirely the WiFi or 3G interference. The simplest solution ... move the Android Box (and any 3G antennas) as far away from the headunit as possible. Also keep your mobile phone away from the headunit ... that will affect it too.

I've shielded my Android unit, and while I don't experience the issue when using WiFi now, I don't think shielding the Android box is necessary. I've also moved the Huawei 3G stick away from the headunit (USB extension) and everything is rock-solid and stable. I'm hoping to find a few hours soon, so I can externalize the antennas for the WiFi & 3G (remove that awful PCB patch antenna, and extend the Huawei 3G one). I'll make sure to take photos of the modifications. It should noticeably improve the antenna performance.

Since there are so many working on the ROM now ... I'll instead focus my time into other aspects (mad scientist mode?). I'll set up a build environment, and look into the hardware a bit more. I'll hopefully be able to lend a hand when I can for ROM issues and other things.

P.S> I've updated my Google Drive with the latest two MCU files (v37, v40) so that the Wiki points correctly to them.

Rock on. :cool:
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I think i'm getting the same issue. It created a zip file no problem, but when I went to install it I got the following:

Any app that responds to the Uri ("geo") should show in the list. I know that Waze, Google Maps , and Co-pilot do. The 'z=15' is a zoom level I set for issues I had with google maps. I might take that out soon. I have a couple of things I want to to do to tune the overall intent launching process.

If you mean by changing the app, that you've already selected one, and want to change it to something else, then that is done in the same way you would change any default app in Android. Go the Settings/Apps and find the app you've chosen, select 'clear defaults' on that app. Next time that intent it launched (by pressing the button), it'll give you the option to select a new app and set 'always' or 'just once'

I have contacted newsmy, and I have confirmed that the NU5002 does not have infrared receiver (care, who wants to buy)

someone know how to add an infrared receiver to work with the key editor?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Given that, I would open your scope to other types of devices (USB and/or Resistive). Resistive will work with the Key Editor just fine (think Steering Wheel Controls). You might want to look at some Sony stuff:

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-RMX11M-2...TF8&qid=1432034648&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+rmx-5

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Remote-C...F8&qid=1432034702&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+rmx-4s

http://www.amazon.com/Sony-RM-X1S-R...sbs_422_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=0X9NDHZG9QSH160S6Q3Q

A lot of this was discussed way back in the thread, so I'm not sure if anyone tried these.

USB devices (think Griffin Powermate, Fusion (http://www.amazon.com/Fusion-Contro...&qid=1432034804&sr=1-1&keywords=fusion+volume) Will not work with the Key Editor out of the box, but It's certainly something that will come eventually.

We have a lot of big plans for the software layer of this device. Unfortunately, there are only a few of us who are active on this front, and it will take time.
[Android Head-Units] e.sjolund:
I can`t speak for the NU3001, but I`ve had great succes using the EzCap EZT668 dongle with a nexus 7. It uses the RTL2832U and FC0013. On the other hand, I`ve also tried a DVB`T donge with the RTL2832U and R820T drivers. It rearlty worked (both SDR touch and Wavesink). I read that it seems like the R820T driver/dongle uses a lot of current, and that might intefere... bla..bla...

So I would recomend you to stay away from the R820T dongles.

Oh! I live in Norway, so no problem wiht the EzCap dongle here...
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Speaking of IR.. has anyone gotten the IR on the 3001 to work? I try last night with 2 different remotes, I was pointing them at the touch screen then the Android box and nothing..

Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I have the R820T and it works fine. I never measured the current draw of it though. I tested it with the nu3001 in the car with the R820T hooked directly up to the usb port on the Android box. I tested with 2m and 70cm antennas and up converter for HF bands with my 40, 20 and 10 meter mobile antenna. It worked perfectly.

I don't bother using it though. Since I hooked up my ICOM 7000 radio to the composite video input and the sound directly to the NU3001.

Ok so it is not me.. I tried an Apple remote from a macBook and an old Nakamichi remote

As for AVIN, I wish I could help code stuff as I am looking forward to when we can navigate to other android stuff after selecting AVIN.

I installed the latest community ROM and MCU 40 and it seems to work nicely. I just need to try it out more. I really need to install one of these units in my daily driver, only issue is my OEM headunit has the DIC built in..
[Android Head-Units] x5nder:
Of out curiosity: I see that some people have tried bluetooth volume controls, but they don't work properly because they're controlling Android volume instead of head unit master volume. However, we can control the head unit master volume with intents. Is there no way to link bluetooth actions (like volume+, volume-, mute) to custom intents? As in, 'steal' the commands bluetooth is sending to the Android system and modifying them to control the volume the way we like?
[Android Head-Units] Azerty093:
Thanks you for help. You can tell me how did you manage to block the microphone behind the wheel? Synchronization is done automatically? When a call is received it is displayed directly on the newsmy ? thank you again.

Nobody knows if if its functions are compatible Polo V please.

The canbus is compatible for all buttons ?

The parking sensors automatically work on my car ?

The air condition will also be displayed or it is available only on Golf ?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Yes, the unit comes with an external microphone. that can be placed where you wish

I put it right behind the steering wheel which seems to work well, when i'm driving I talk straight at it.

Yes, when the phone rings the Newsmy automatically displays the call screen so you can answer it on the screen.
