Is this part of the OP out of date? There is a volkswagen version listed in the wiki I would like to buy. Is the hardware identical apart from the buttons / knobs?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Am i right to assume that however it is not fully working with USB or not? Sorry trying to keep up with everything :/

Tuatara has already done this mod (see this pos where he explains to me what i need to do: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62288118&postcount=6406 ), I am hoping to do it this weekend. Maybe amidst all the panic and excitement i will post some pictures if i manage to get it to work. Can you post a link of the actual antenna? Moreover i think if you are good enough to solder to the mortherboard it will be better (less joins) however i think cutting and splicing the current wires would be good enough as well :)

Gdluck!

Line Output Converter

Hi Guys,

My car, Mazda MX5 MK3.5 comes with stock Bose system, I did not want to replace the original amp or the speakers, also I did not want to loose faders so I decided to give it a try and I ordered the Line Output converter Scosche Oea4 4-Channel Adjustable Factory Amplifier Interface.

I have also ordered a couple of RCA cables and soldered them between the speakers cables and the car harness. The only problem I had was that there was not enough room behind the head unit so I placed the RCA cables and the Line Output Converter behind the glove box, which turned out even better so I can easily adjust the volume if I need to.

The sound is brilliant now, no more hiss or hum coming out from the speakers. I can finally listed to music on low volume. All 4 channels work independently.

It seems that Newsmy is using 160DPI as their default value (with font setting large). If changed to another value (like 240, font small) the launcher's widget don't display right. Also, the new "NAuto" app's Dasboard only shows a full screen ratio at 160 DPI.

Hello,

I have a new Newsmy carpad 3001 head unit. I installed the unit. I made the swc, illum and other connections.

Now, I want to update the rom and muc. How can I do that. I want to install latest xdAuto. What should I do? I could not find a find document on such an update that explains each step.

As far as I understand I should install firstly the MCU. The lates version is 44 in xdAuto's repository. I downloaded it.

The lates version of xdAuto's image is 1.1.6c2. There is a zip. I downloaded it.

Now, should i use rkBatchTool?

For the MCU update, is copying the v44 mcu to an SD card and starting the device OK?

Can I do the same with img files?

Thank you in advance for helping me on these matters.
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
Yes mcu update works like you described, easily via SD.

Regarding xdauto Rom there is plenty of information in this thread if you use search, but you can find a step by step including even link to a video in the wiki which is linker in the first page of this Discussion. I would start by reading a lot before you update since you need to prepare the drivers on PC, get to Tuataras Rom first probably. etc. I recommend you read the wiki step by step and then check the forum for similar experiences, this topic has been asked quite some times.

I understand the CANBUS for VW/Skoda cars support OEM parking sensors. However is it possible to hook up aftermarket parking sensors to Newsmy and see the image on the head unit? I don't own a VW though.

Hi guys.

Sorry for the newbie question.

I rooted my android box with Kingo Root.

How to flash it with non stock ROM from SD card? I tried to do as described - just copied ROM files to SD card and restarted Android, but nothing....

I did not asked about update ROM by the system.

Please help me what I am missed in my steps?
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
See wiki. First time you need to go via RKbatchtool with PC. There is a step by step guide in the wiki including link to Video. Go through Tuataras ROm first it will change recovery then xdauto Rom. Once you have die this via PC once, next time you can do thge easy SD method, there is a couple of recent answers in this thread that exactly described your scenario. Enjoy reading :o

As far as I'm aware, no one has gotten the USB version OBDII to work. If you do go Bluetooth, OBDLINK LX & MX are supposed to have the fastest speeds.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Three questions:

1-Does pushing an img file with RKBatchtool mean that the mcu is updated automatically?

2-Does pushing an img file with RKBatchtool mean that the recovery is updated with this operation?

3-Is directly installing of xdAuto v1.1.6c2 possible via rkBatchtool? Or should I update the MCU first?
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Could I make a small request? Seeing how I can't program my physical home button. Would there be a way to enable a home button on the navigation bar? Perhaps right beside the torque launcher? That would really help navigation with my unit that's being a pain for programming the buttons
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
The MCU firmware is completely independent of the Android software.

The img files can (and should) contain a recovery, the stock recovery isn't very useful.

No v1.1.6c2 was not released as an img file.

CAN bus confusion

How do I connect the nu3001 to my cars canbus leads? The are no wires in the wiring harness where the can high, loiw, and ground should be. Do I need something to convert to resistive controls?
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Thank you very much for the answer. So, I will flash the 1.1.6c image first, then, update to c2.

What about the MCU? Should I leave it as is? I don't know the version of it. How can I learn the version?

There is version named v95 coming after v44. Is it normal? Should I install v44 or v95?
[Android Head-Units] peregrines:
I am experiencing the same problem ... not able to connect to my iphone anymore via bluetooth.

[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:

[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I'm still running v40 on the unit installed in my actual vehicle. I have v44 installed on my development unit but haven't noticed any significant differences so far.

I'd just recommend running at least v40.

I'm not sure what v95 is but since it doesn't follow the same numbering order I'd avoid it.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Thank you for the answer.

How can I learn the MCU version?

BTW, v95 is listed in aphod/nu3001/MCU directory. I cannot post links yet.
[Android Head-Units] daveaus:
Thanks, Ill grab one.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Just don't fry the box like I did, They work great otherwise lol.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
There is an existing pre-out, but it's only for the front channels. If you can live without fader control from the head unit, these will be just fine.

No, the key editor only allows for a single press for each button.

You have to connect at least the key1 and key ground, key2 is used only for some vehicles.

The wiki is current on this http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001/FAQ

The OP is out of date, but it does note that the wiki is the most up-to-date resource. You could ask alaninsitges nicely to clear out the old info though.

The variants listed at the bottom of the main wiki page are the same Android box and MCU, just a different head unit hardware.

The Updating ROM & MCU section is applicable to installing a custom ROM such as xdAuto

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001#Updating_ROM_.26_MCU

You will need to use rkBatchTool and grab a .img copy of xdAuto. I don't think the latest version is in img form, so you will need to grab an older version to install, then using the latest zip version of xdAuto upgrade with TWRP recovery.

1. No, the ROM img and MCU updates are different files

2. Sort of, xdAuto does install TWRP

3. I don't think there is an img version of xdAuto 1.1.6c2, so you need to use an older img of xdAuto, then upgrade using TWRP with the latest zip. You can update the MCU before or after, but I would do it before.

[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Hello, I tried soldering the antenna to the board today and it seems that it just not there. I installed an sma connector, the middle pin connected to the inside terminal of the board (see redish wire in images). I used a diode tester to see that there are no shorts and that there is a connection from the board to the sma connector. I do get wifi but it seems that it is just through the wire. Could it be that i have a faulty wifi antenna or i need to switch wire polarity? This is my antenna: http://www.ebay.com/itm/16dB-Wi-Fi-...-PCI-Router-/361361444146?hash=item5422d20d32

EDIT1: Ok scratch everything... I tried cutting and soldering the antenna directly and it barely worked. Then I almost ended up ruining the solder joint on the board so I just ended up soldering the old one back... Basically I just gave up yay...

EDIT2: Will usb antennas work with this?
[Android Head-Units] m3co:
Hi, i hate to do this but this is a too long treat for me too go read it all...

I am want to buy of of this units (going to open my dash to check if i can fit a 8'' one)

want to add a usb camara to use as dashcam, i read de c270 works fine with camera and mic (correct me if i am wrong).

I need to know what updates should i install or if is there anything a need to know before hand... ill buy this from exclusivecarauto to be fast and avoid tax at costums.

Going to install it on a kia pro ceed 09.

Also intend to use a OBD bluetooth device that i already have from ebay (some crappy blue unit from china)....

Is anything wrog with my plan?
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
I have done all you plan except never tried OBD and it worked well, exclusive were good on delivery but as soon as you load a new rom I doubt they will honour their warranty based on the warnings on their website but I did it anyway.
[Android Head-Units] m3co:
I ownt install any costum rom, only official one's and official MCU for the first couple of weeks to check it all comes ok from factory, after that ill play with costum stuff, if it bring any advange for my with the new feactures
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
You managed to get it working perfectly then? Maybe it just needed the power from the power hub?
[Android Head-Units] ChrisK-WA:
Ok, update. Yes I did get it to work perfectly however when I did I had it plugged into my Car's USB (Subaru BRZ) which was daisy chained off the USB hub. When I hooked it directly to the USB hub to get it out of the way, it wasn't working. I need to play with this some more. I may have a USB extension laying around I can see if that makes a difference as well. If I cant get this figured out (I don't want it plugged into the Car's USB), I'm just going to switch over to Bluetooth.

Edit again. This AM plugged it directly into the USB Hub and it's working. Not sure what happened earlier but it's working and I'm leaving it that way.
[Android Head-Units] jpsandiego:
So I just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone was wondering about using this as a dashcam dvr. I set mine up using the Daily Roads app along with the Logitech C615 webcam with built in microphone that works on google now and skype. The webcam works amazing now that i realized it must be plugged into the OTG usb port. For some reason the regular usb port failed to recognize the camera. It will rotate 360 degrees so it can be used as dashcam or face you when using skype. It also has threads for tripod style mounting which allows another method to secure it to your vehicle. The video and microphone quality are very impressive. As for the daily roads app, I love it... It has settings to allow auto start/shutdown when it detects power and also has background mode that leave a small customized menu onscreen so you don't have to view the camera while it is on. It will also allow you to customize the stamps captured on video like time, date, speed, gps position and altitude. The recording settings allow you to specify the loop interval for recording so it will never fill up your internal sd card. Best of all it is a free app. Sorry if this has been posted before, but I could not find a post on here that answered all my questions so I thought I would share to save you guys some headaches if you were to attempt this.

This forum has been extremely helpful to me and I thank all who are part of it. Stay awesome!

Hello,

Finally, I was able to do the MCU updates, and 1.1.6c2 installation.

Now, I looked araond for the microphone. I found a logitech camera which also has a microphone in it. The device recognized it as a microphone so I can use OK and yandex navi. I hung the camera at front the roof. I decided that, since there is a camera I can use it for skype calls, and I installed skype. Since the camera is hung upside down, the image is upside down. Can I fix the image? Is there an applcation for camera to rotate?

Thanks in advance.

It's fast enough.

I had Viper4Android when I was on stock rom, I don't try on my custom rom because no time for now.

The Android Box aka the brain is for flashing/modding the rom at home, to use as a network TV Box whatever...

I've lost the thread of the topic and wondered if the RDS is working now or not ?
[Android Head-Units] TheLoverMan:
So like the android box will be used to stream to the head unit? Or do you need the android box to mod the head unit?

Now i play with the thoughts to pay the newsby3001, but the original stock rom UI is also not nice.

My big hope is your XDAUTO, its just there no pics or videos from the current state/build.

Please can a user make pics or a video from the last build and the UI (with player app, radio, contacts, bluetooth and nice features)

That would help me much as purchasing decision

No I do not think so, not yet. Only the one in Spain. I purchased it from there to Germany, there were no extra custom taxes added!

I liked it.

Sound is good.

There is a decent audio chip. See spec. In wiki http://www.cirrus.com/en/pubs/proDatasheet/WM8988_v4.1.pdf

For the price of this unit I was positively surprised.

And yes only one set of RCA out.

I am audiophile at home only and my expectation in car is not that high, so for me the two sets of high level outputs are already great, one of the users here tweaked the internal two sets of preouts cutting the chip , but that is another story at the cost of no warranty.

Have a 2011 Jeep Patriot and after a long journey with the Pumpkin headunit "vehicle specific" and not even being able to install it in my vehicle due to the wrong canbus adapter being sent. I cm cutting my losses and buying this unit. Just purchased from the bay and it should be here by Saturday. Also bought the PAC C2R-CHY4 for my vehicle and bought the Scosche adapter as [MENTION=6289000]jkchr1s[/MENTION] said as well as the Metra kit (just in case) couldn't find any confirmation of the Scosche kit fitting a Jeep Patriot. Let's see if this option is better for me. Checked out xdauto and cannot wait to try it out. Also love the fact it's a removable box since I can do updates and set it up in home and then transfer it to my vehicle!
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
Welcome! You'll be much happier with the Newsmy :)

The fitting should be the same as the Wrangler, the Scosche fit much better than the Metra.

I have a post in here for the canbus wiring too, its pretty simple to have SWC on these units with the PAC.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Thanks for the posts man, I promise I'm not trying to annoy you just trying to figure all of this out as there is no documentation for anything for the patriot really! So going off of installs for the Wrangler is all I have and I hope it's pretty much the same. I read that post and didn't quit understand it to be honest. I bought the adapter PAC C2R-CHY4 (different than yours but similar?) the scosche kit, and the metra just in case. The radio should be here by Saturday which is awesome! I am having a shop do the install for me as stated before I just want to get it all figured out before that so if there is anything weird I can let them know.

Thanks for everything once again, you have been extremely helpful and it is appreciated!
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
No worries man. It should be the exact same process for you, the only difference is the canbus protocol... The wires and everything else should be the same. It's just a matter of the communications over the canbus network being different, the wires should all be one to one the same as mine.
[Android Head-Units] audiobliss:
Thanks for the link. I think this chip will be ok for me, my current head sounds a bit too tinny. I would love to go up further in quality but I need a touchscreen and this unit has everything. Will give it a go. Cheers.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Not sure how that's going to work. Made sure this one was compatible with the Patriot and it seems to support high and low speed canbus somehow. I didn't exactly understand the wording for your wiring to be honest. Besides your post there is one on the newsmy Facebook page that just says to wire it up and cut off the headphone jack wire. Still confused about that. The PAC C2R-CHY4 should be all I need correct? I am returning my SWI-CP5 and want to make sure I don't need it.
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
Yeah that PAC and an antenna adapter is all you need. The SWC wires will make more sense when you have everything in hand. There's a wire with the PAC for SWC that looks like a headphone jack. You cut the headphone looking plug off and splice it in the the Newsmy harness with the colors in my previous post.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
I guess I will look at it when I get everything.

This is the PAC adapter I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001U3ULQO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Doesn't look like it has the "headphone plug" might be wrong.. Hoping I don't need a SWI adapter as well but the amazon page says "no longer requires the use SWI-CAN Module to retain steering wheel controls" and "2005-11 Chrysler Radio Replacement with SWI-CAN, SWI-CAN2 Modules Included" So I'm not sure :confused:

Even in the manual there is nothing hmm.. http://www.pac-audio.com/PACProductData/C2R-CHY4/1_Instructions/c2r-chy4_instructions_042111.pdf
[Android Head-Units] jkchr1s:
Mine had a square plug on the side you can't see in the amazon pic along with two numbered switches. I'd call PAC and ask them to be sure its the right thing. Mine had settings for jvc, pioneer, etc. There's a blue and green SWC wire on mine that was not the correct thing for the newsmy, the headphone plug was a totally separate thing.

Call them and ensure it has the headphone plug for SWC. If it doesn't have it, SWC won't work with the Newsmy unit. If all else fails, order it directly from PAC, just the same one I listed in the post.
