Awesome job! I see your install post way back on page 145, early days. I'm trying to do the same thing and wondering if you could share some of your experience?

Did you use a Dremel to file it down or would that melt the plastic? How do the filed edges look from the sides? Do you think there's any way to to fit the unit back enough to be flush with the silver bezel?

Did you make your own mount or use like a Metra kit? Is there a gap underneath that you made a filler piece for? Any issues with steering wheel controls? Did you use a PAC or Axxess interface?

Sorry for the flood of questions, a bit excited to see your install. Any advice would be really appreciated. How has the unit been for you overall?

885 pages, yikes :)

I am running the Carpad 3s / NR with 1.3.9 stock ROM and figure out a strange behaviour: When listening to music (no matter what source) while having my Nexus 5 connected via bluetooth then I recognize a stuttering (short muted music periods) as soon as I do something on the nexus (like navigating through the phones app menu). But as soon as I disconnect my phone then everything is fine again.

I read through the wiki and searched through the thread but didnt find good match. Anybody any idea what that could be caused by?

And if I may post a second question - is there a comparison between latest xdauto and latest stock rom to decide which one to use best? :)
[Android Head-Units] frankmehta:
Switch off touch sounds on your Nexus. That will do the job. Every time you touch the screen or type on the keyboard, there is one more intent or event of sound happening. Which baffles the system.. Try it and let us know.

They use an external box connected between the camera and the head unit (or an OEM camera which does this by itself). If the MCU code was available this could probably be implemented in the head unit, as it is already connected to the CAN bus.

My recently bought NEWSMY NR5261 unfortunately isn`t starting anymore.

I accidentally flashed an older MCU Version (from v101 to v40) and now the Display remains Blank.

I only see something when I change to reverse gear but I aint see the Android UI nor the bootlogo.

I tried to let it run for about 1hour to see a change but nothing happens.

I also tried to boot up with 5 Fingers to get into the bootloader but this also doesnt work.

Can someone give me some advice to Fix this fault?
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
Nice job blinger. I plan on doing something similar. Any tips or issues you ran into while modifying the frame/screen?
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
Thanks. Reducing it down to a 1 din height is not problem as the unit is a single flat circuit board. But the ribbon cables that connect to the touch screen limits how far you can mount the screen away from the board. It would be great if there are extension cables for those cables as I originally wanted to relocate the screen to the top of the air vents.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Pretty sure V40 is too old for the NR units.

You'll need to reflash the MCU but i'm not sure how you'll do that on the NR models when you can't see the screen.

On the NU i'd say plug a monitor into the HDMI but I don't think you have that do you?
[Android Head-Units] Conradfreak:
Right. I dont have a HDMI Port on the NR Series. :(

Is it possible at all to flash the MCU from Bootloader?

When its unpossible I dont habe to try to get into it.

Any Chance to Flash the MCU directly with an ISP or JTAG?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Pretty sure the only way to flash the MCU is with the app.

You might be able to flash it directly via ISP or JTAG but i'm pretty sure no-one has tried it.

Steering wheel buttons and connects2 interface

Hello,

I installed a NR5002-H-H0 on my Toyota Yaris. I've some troubles with my steering wheel buttons. After recording each buttons (volume +/-, home, previous/next) with "Key Assistant" the buttons do not work well , and their functioning is totally random.

For information i use an interface from connects2 (CTSTY001.2) with a universall patch.

I use the MCU 53 & last xdAuto.

In the past I had a clarion 2din dashboard and all was ok.

Did Someone already have that problem?

Hello,

I have the NU5261. I want to change the storage for all apps on the external SD. I've tried the tutorials but it is partially working for me. Some system data has moved to the external SD but not all. I saw a thread where using ubuntu with repository from a user could do the trick but it was for an NU3001 unit.

I was wondering if there is a straightforward method to redirect all storage to the external SD instead.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hello friends, I have recently bought a NR3001, and perfect, I want to install your Aptoide but I get error that can happen ¿?
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
I Have a NU3001 and in the beginning, 2 years ago, I have change the bootanimation.zip

I put my name and address on this bootanimation.zip as the owner of the unit.

Now I have sold my car including the NU3001 and I want to remove the address from the bootanimation.zip, but I don't know for sure if I can just delete the first 4 pictures 001.jpg to 004.jpg (this is where the address is located) and leave the rest as it is.

So delete 001.jpg to 004.jpg and leave 005.jpg to 020.jpg as it is.

Is this possible without having problems to boot the system afterwards???

Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

BockyWocky

Hey guys,

I have a NU3001, Tuatara ROM and latest MCU version. A while ago I briefly flashed the xdAuto rom but found it wasn't for me, so I went back to Tuatara.

The issue I have now is that I don't have standby anymore. As soon as I turn off the engine, the unit shuts down and when I turn the car back on, it boots up again.

Is there any way I can set the timeout on Tuatara ROM?

Is the sleep intent in xdAuto the one that controls the sleep time of the unit? And if so, can I run it directly from Tasker? Maybe copy / paste the code?

Thanks so much for any help !

Hi all,

Just picked up a Carpad 3 and would like to get it up and running the way I'd like prior to installation. My problem right now is that I'm stuck at step 1 -- how to power on the thing. I've searched through the thread and found a little bit of info, but I'm a complete newb when it comes to this sort of thing, so is there a step-by-step guide on what I need and how to do it? Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Dumb question, but did you go back into the "Update Settings App" and re-select the timeout again? Every time you flash a upgrade to the MCU or change OS, it defaults back to "None"
[Android Head-Units] [Bob]:
The Tuatara ROM does not have the "timeout" selector inside the "Update Settings App" afaik.

I went from Tuatara ( had 2 hours timeout ) to xd Auto, then back to Tuatara ( no timeout ). I have latest MCU version with Tuatara Rom.

Waze

I do have waze crashes after HU standby. Actually id doesn't crash any more, but freezes. And it begun with new Waze design version.

Actually I have more stranger thing with Waze, which fortunately are rare - sometimes Waze react as it would be asked to close. Pop-up window with "Do you want to close .... Yeas/No".

Needless to say that at that time there was no touches or other actions from my side to HU.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
I've got the same crazy stuff going on with the new version of Waze also. Not only does it act crazy at times but it's also eating a lot of system resources. My H/U will actually close other programs (Pandora, V4A, etc) when Waze is running to make room for it.

Hey kamhunt,

I use Tuatara ROM (not xdAuto) and MCU 52. That was in fact my issue.

brightness dial mod

I have just installed a NR5261 unit and very happy with it. while not the latest, I value the matured development and features made for these units.

I thought I'd share a little hackish mod for those with carpad models with 2 physical dials (volume and tuner dials).

For me I don't understand the need for a physical tuner dial. It is such a rarely used function, it doesn't really deserve so much interface real estate.

On the other hand, one of the first annoyances was with the brightness controls not easily accessible / lack of light sensor. While there is brightness automation based on time of day, I still wanted more control to account for weather and tunnels etc.

To quickly accomplish a brightness dial I did the following (with root):

- using the keyeditor app, I mapped the tuner dial counterclockwise to 'Tuner Down Radio' and tuner dial clockwise to 'Tuner Up Radio' (2 functions I assume are of no use to me).

- I backed up /system/usr/keylayout/rk29-keypad.kl to rk29-keypad.kl.bak

- I then edited rk29-keypad.kl on the following lines:

replacing 'key 0x251 RADIO_TURNUP' with 'key 0x251 BRIGHTNESS_UP'

replacing 'key 0x251 RADIO_TURNDOWN' with 'key 0x251 BRIGHTNESS_DOWN'

I then rebooted the system.

Anyways, While this is not a clean solution, It working perfectly for easily adjusting brightness when the sun comes out. Hope its of interest for anyone with a 2 dial unit.

Hi Guys,

I have kind of a strange issue. Everything is going great with my NU3001. However, I just got a new phone, a Samsung S7. For some reason, BTHFD is not visible to S7's bluetooth scan. The phone has been pairing fine with all other devices I have. It still sees other bluetooth devices. For some reason, though, it can't see BTHFD. It can see the regular bluetooth interface - for keyboard, etc.(rk . . something?), but it can't see BTHFD. Also, I've tried my old phone, a Samsung S5, and BTHFD still shows up. Even after unpairing the phone, when you do a scan, it will find BTHFD again.

Would any of you happen to know why the S7 might be unable to see the BTHFD, while the S5 can? Is there anything I can do to the S7 to possibly force it to see and pair with the BTHFD?

Thanks a bunch for your help.

Patrick
[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
One other question: BTHFD is always discoverable, right? I just want to make sure that I don't need to do something to make BTHFD discoverable. I don't remember doing this last time, but maybe I forgot something. My S5 can instantly find BTHFD without doing anything, but maybe that's because it's remembered from before.(?)

If I do need to make BTHFD discoverable, can you let me know how to do this? An option to make it discoverable doesn't seem to be apparent to me. (if there is one)

Thanks again!

Hi Frank,

Nice !! Did not think of that ....

Instead I am using the Helix DSP Pro with my Newsmy car pad 2 which has priority setting selected for digital input from hdmi of the android brain currently and yes, I lost the BT phone and Nav on wince.

Will be switching to priority on rca on the Helix DSP Pro instead since dvd and radio can/should be closed if not in use and any BT call or Nav will nicely and automatically interrupt the android digital input if in use .... hope it works better this way.

Not sure what processor you are using but some have phone interrupt analog input like audison Bitone that I believe can be similarly used for priority audio source of analog rca albiet not sure if it is similarly processed with time alignment, gain etc. for radio and dvd changer.

Cheers.

Richard
[Android Head-Units] frankmehta:
I switch inputs on my Minidsp processor when I want FM radio. I have dedicated one input purely for rca and one for pure digital audio.

But I still havent lost bt cos my rear speakers are powered off the head unit amp. Hence, even when I'm on pure digital mode, sound is still being transmitted to the rear speakers via the in built amp. So I can take phone calls without any worried..

I hope this makes things easy for you.
[Android Head-Units] richard_crl032:
Hi Checksum123,

As Zanix had rightfully advised, only NU series or car pad 2 has separate android brain with hdmi and not the newer NR series.

BTW, in my case of the dual OS wince and android version, DT-5267s , with customised faceplate for my Nissan Qashqai (also for Xtrail) which I suspect is the same for NU series, hdmi only plays video and digital audio on the android apps and from the wince apps and single disc DVD slot.

Cheers,

Richard

Hey Frank,

Thanks again but guess you have to lower down volume of your digital source when the BT phone come it since both are playing as they are powered separately by your external and internal amps ?? My thinking was to mute the digital source that I am playing without the need the manually adjust volume of the digital source .... make sense ??

Cheers,

Richard,

[Android Head-Units] frankmehta:
Android auto pauses the music once you get a phone call. You don't need to mute it.

Also, the system doesn't really switch anything. Even on digital mode, my rears are working.. So there's no complication involved. This is the best workaround possible.
[Android Head-Units] richard_crl032:
Hi Frank,

Cool ......

Think I have a different issue as mine is the DT-5267 dual wince + android version customised for as direct replacement in my Nissan Qashqai and my digital output from the android brain is certainly not muted with Nav, Radio, DVD player and hence I suspect the BT phone from the Wince albeit not tried.

My apology for the confusion caused since this is indeed a pure android NU3001 thread and not Newsmy's dual wince+android like mine.

Yes, I bought the DT-5267s instead of the NU3001 as it came with customised faceplate for plug and play for my car and comes with single slot DVD/CD player but yet with the android brain with hdmi which I covet.

Nevertheless, this learning is great and guess I may try BT phone on the android OS though not sure how yet.

Best regards,

Richard

[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
Just following up on this. It appears that this is an issue with the Samsung S7. All the phones I've experimented with besides the S7 were able to see and pair with BTHFD. However, both my and my girlfriend's Samsung S7 seem to be completely unable to see/discover BTHFD.(although they can both see other bluetooth devices, including the main bluetooth interface of the NU3001.(rk . . . something?)

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is there something about BTHFD that might cause it to not be discovered by certain devices? Is BTHFD in some weird category of bluetooth interfaces that isn't discoverable by some devices? Is there an app that I might be able to use on the S7 to be able to see(and pair with) devices like the BTHFD?

Does anyone happen to have any thoughts/advice on this?

Hi there,

Firts of all thanks for your great thread.

I'm looking for buy a new head unit with android for my VW Scirocco and I'd like to know if anyone could help me.

First I'd like to know if this head unit is he best I can buy or there anymore better.

I saw the new NR5261 and I've some questions about this unit

Could I see songs in display/fix of my car? I mean, where can see km/h, temperature, km, etc...

With the USB cable available in the box, will work my Media In USB?

If is working my head unit on NAVI (iGO for example) and I turn off the ignition, when I'll turn on again (for example the next day) will it start into the navi or it goes to home screen? I mean, if I open radio and navi for example, when I turn off and turn on again, it keeps your last settings?

Do you recommend Install xdAuto room?
