This unit has one set of stereo pre-outs. The problem is that they are full frequency range (not a subwoofer pre-out with just <100Hz or so). They are not high level ouput or high voltage (like speaker wires). You should be able install an inline passive filter between the full range pre-outs on the head unit and the sub amp such as this http://www.ebay.com/itm/201110865977?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT .

My question to anyone that knows is this: Does the HU mute the high level speaker outputs when an amp is connected to the low level pre-outs on the HU? I want to run the high level output of the HU amp to my main speakers and the low voltage RCA pre-out to the sub amp.

You shouldn't need a line level converter.

That's annoying! So which Ford are you trying to fit it to and what fascia are you using?

I'm going to be fitting mine into my 2009 Mondeo using the following adapter ...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Mond...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51aca30259

Although I don't have the side brackets or a cage so might have to improvise. Hopefully I won't crack my screen! I'll probably be ordering the connect2 wiring harness this weekend mainly for the canbus ignition and illumination inputs.
[Android Head-Units] WazzaJB:
I initially bought one without the cage, my advise would be to get the cage - although it does need cutting back to fit properly. I had two hours free, and ended up rushing and doing damage, so leave plenty of time.
[Android Head-Units] crh2420:
So looking at my amp it has this in the manual

"the amp includes a high-level input with signal sense, variable high, low and subsonic crossovers-Input for your Factory Radio!"

the way i read that is: its cool bro just hook the RCA's to it!
[Android Head-Units] bpalmer1455:
Sounds like you're covered with that amp.
[Android Head-Units] Ekki_221:
I bought a new phone last week (YotaPhone2) and now address book calling does not work anymore either. So it is phone related.

Has anyone found a solution / Workaround for that Problem?

[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Yes, you are right. You can use the RCA output of the H/U for your mono amp (with built-in crossover). Set the crossover to +- 80 Hz, but you probably knew that already.

Only downside of this is that when you change your fader settings of the front channel on the H/U your mono amp will be changed to.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

When speaker output of H/U is connected to speakers and RCA output of H/U is connect to an amp for sub (with crossover), everything will be muted when you press MUTE.
[Android Head-Units] NU5002S:
If front head unit amp speakers are hooked up it still does output through the RCA I tested because my current setup is RCA to speaker amp, front h/u channels wired to A LOC sending to my sub.

If you get the RCA filter set up to work (from ebay) and plug that into your sub amp and it works great then we have a winner!

I could just buy an RCA splitter and those filters and I should have my own set of SUB RCA outputs theoretically?
[Android Head-Units] BonOeil:
I just received my NU3001 but the power button on the brain is missing !

I think it had unsoldered during transport.

Is it useful or not ?
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
It's only necessary if you want to connect it to your TV via HDMI (and have a power adapter that works). It's not needed if you only have it in the car.

Good News regarding the "Not Dialing" Problem:

I did some Investigation and the Problem seems to be in the original Google contacts/phonebook app itself. On my new phone, some Network based Service numbers work, but with most numbers it will not initiate the dialing.

However, I just used another Dialer from the Playstore (ExDialer) and this one works perfectly as it should.

The original Google contacts app is now also using the ExDialer for calling and all Problems are solved. Works even with Pin-locked phone.

Everyone with Not-Dialing Problems should try.... Problem solved

[Android Head-Units] mipakr:
Please forgive the possible dumb/answered question. Looking at the NU5002, how do you turn on/off the unit? Is it only on when the key is on, or can it be turned on/off? From what I can tell there are no physical buttons.

Please help!
[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
Both units will power on when you tap the screen, and there is a "power off" application that turns it off.
[Android Head-Units] mipakr:
Thanks for the fast reply! Radio has been ordered :]
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
It just kills power to the screen. It doesn't actually shut off the Android Box, FYI.

Only after X amount of hours does the unit shut off 100%
[Android Head-Units] Zaxela:

[Android Head-Units] usafle:

How to update?

I had a look at the Wiki and it looks like I have to connect this to my PC to update..... seriously????

Can I not just copy the update.img file to the SD card and run the update from there somehow?

I have gone back to my AN-21U as this thing is kind of flakey and so am keen to try the new firmware.

Please tell me I don't have to connect it to my PC. :( Because I don't have a power supply to power the unit!!! This thing is seriously a POS. Wow had great expectations from it and it is seriously underwhelming.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Copy update.IMG to SD and insert card in running system. It will be detected and ask if you want to apply update . MCU update Is the same, (unzip all files to sd) except you start the MCU app, then the update will be detected. All can be done while installed in vehicle.
[Android Head-Units] ryrager:
Thanks

Thanks

One other question.... how do you bring up the "context" menu in the apps? Since there doesn't appear to be a button for that?
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
The three dot line that appears left of the clock. For apps that have a context menu , like keyeditor, that's how you access it.
[Android Head-Units] ryrager:
3 Dots not always there

Hi Thanks for the help, however the 3 little dots don't always show up. :(

Even though I know that if I push the context menu on my phone I get the settings menu etc. Is there a way to create a "context" menu button on that bottom bar?
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
I suppose it would be, but understand that not all apps, especially not all the bonovo apps have context menus. The dots appear if there is one not all the time. Accessing settings would be in the drag down from the top bar. Click the right upper of the drag down then click settings.
[Android Head-Units] ryrager:
root explorer would be an example... and you have to go via the long method to get to the context menu
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
See if this does it for ya. http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-to/add-menu-search-soft-keys-navigation-bar-your-nexus-7-0154768/

Update to 1.1.1

Hi

I updated to 1.1.1

I copied from a USB key to the root of external SD the update.img file

After a few minutes, a message showed asking if I wanted to update the system.

The ugrade was done quickly.

Nothing was lost...

Just chiming in, I ordered a nu5261 pure android VW based unit. Don't flame me for saying there isn't a vehicle specific, the unit has only been available for a month now I think, I verified it with newsmy that it is a pure android unit and not a hybrid unit. Will read up on this posting and get to know my new head unit better :) once I get it ill gladly shoe photos!

I think you're safe if you look here -> http://www.newsmy-car.com/product/product.php?lang=en&class1=34&class2=390&class3=391

I believe the Car Pad 2S are all the pure android headunits whereas the Car Pad 2 are hybrid devices. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit : Now I'm confusing myself, ignore my previous edit as it was wrong. Yours should be safe as its actually flagged as Android only as they are clearly getting the message that this is what people want.

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...Android-only-without/1422130_32231860924.html
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Yep, that's the one I ordered the 2s, that's also the site I based my information off of, the aliexpress posting for it had errors in it saying it was a dual boot, so i contacted newsmy and the person explained yo me ththe different model numbers, the nu series is the pure android, the DT is the hybrid.

I would have done the universal if I was crafty enough to make a surround that didn't look aftermarket. As I do like the all touch idea...

Any photos of the eq in the unit? Sounds like there isn't a sub out on the unit so may jave to figure out what to do there. Right mow on my current android unit I'm using the rear RCA out for my sub, as the subout dedicated line seemed to cut in and out. So I just hooked my RCA to the rear out and fliped the lpf on my amp, not using the pre-outs anyways
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Just doing some googling and found the nu3001 for $150 but if you have a look at the main page they claim to be doing it at $105 with delivery to the UK for $27!

http://www.outlet-electronic.com/

Looks a dodgy site though and minimum spend is $200. I would not recommend buying from them.
[Android Head-Units] Zaxela:
And what can you say about this store

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1240857 ???
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Although the traders shops on Aliexpress are unknown Aliexpress itself is part of the Alibaba group -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alibaba_Group and claims to offer buyer protection.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
I initially found the unit I purchased on alibaba, then eBay (only one posting/1seller) I messaged the aibaba and eBay seller, go find out they were both linked to here... http://www.tradesolution.hk/ I had also contacted the aliexpress posting from newsmy (hadn't heard back from them at this time)

So I ordered off the site, as both the eBay seller and alibaba seller directed me to the same site, so I ordered off it thinking it was newsmy's purchasing site, just to find out from Summer that its not. So I hope I didnt shoot myself on the foot! Payment was done via PayPal so I have a little security there, 160 days to opens dispute if needed, so far communication has been good with the person on alibaba and Summer seemed okay with me purchasing from there, said that if I ran into issues to contact her and she can try to help me out n any way.... guess time will tell !
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
It's very confusing and I assume that Newsmy sell to a lot of local distributors. I keep wondering how easy it would be to act as an importer of this type of device but I've heard a few worrying stories of dealing with chinese companies.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Yeah, I'm just hoping that if there is an issue, that I get proper support :(
[Android Head-Units] WazzaJB:
I have a really bad feeling i'm not going to get a response from Summer regarding my screen. I now believe however I may be able to just replace the digitizer? As it is only the glass above the screen that is cracked and the touchscreen that does not work.

Is anybody in constant contact with Summer that may be able to help? I'm willing to pay for this service if someone can source me a part...

Thanks

Just an update on some of my "bugs";

Ever since updating the MCU to the current version, my brightness now works instantly (without having to adjust brightness and then turn off / on the screen for it to change)

I am now getting notified of incoming calls on my Nexus5. Whatever I'm playing stops and the BT Phone app opens up and it starts to ring.
[Android Head-Units] Zaxela:
Is it really newsmy store or resellers? Who knows?
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Here's a question, what's really inside the radio then if its all run by an external brain? What really makes this radio expensive (as the price tag on aliexpress was $700 with a sale on making it around $300)

What's everyone using for GPS software? Does tts work?

What's the first thing(s) one would recommend doing to the system once its all installed ? Anything specific? Minus updating to latest firmware...
[Android Head-Units] Zaxela:
I also made update. thanks. But I see my model is

CarPad-II-P

now in the settings. Is it normal?
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
The $700 price tag is an Aliexpress fudge as in it allows them to state its 50% off and sell it for $350. Its a fair question regarding what is it worth as effectively there are 4 components, the physical 2 DIN chassis (bespoke or universal), the android brain, a touchscreen and a board which interfaces with the car and provides, the amplifier, CAN bus controller, SWC interface, video inputs, illumination input, radio tuner and just general interfaces to the car and certain services. So you could effectively see the android brain and touchscreen as a tablet which newsmy are known for but the real bespoke parts are the 2 DIN chassis and interface to the car and those services.

I think its right to split it into these components as it should allow easier upgrading of android/brain at a later date and it will be interesting to see if that happens and the price of the box. It should also allow newsmy to focus on creating the headunits specific to each car model although hopefully with the same main board. I guess what these are sold for will depend on manufacturing costs and what the market will support.

Newsmy appear to have a different approach than some of the other manufacturers by splitting out the android box so it will be interesting to see if others adopt that. Then of course there is the software which sounds as if it does need polishing and we don't know what the android auto functionality will bring.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Thanks, for the reply. I posted the pricing then thought after that the newsmy site does list for around 400, but the newsmy aliexpess has it at 700 so that was interesting to see.

That answers my question about the unit itself, now to wait and see hhow the GPS function works with everything else the unit offers.

I currently have an android unit in my car, the huifei model that has everything integrated into it, the reason for my upgrade is the 1024 screen, quad core CPU & the 2gig ram. Not so sure if ill see a difference between the two systems but time will tell :) hoping this unit works just as well as that unit, or better. Better would be nice lol

2005 Camry NU5002S

Hows the fit for the Camry? Do you have pictures? Let me know how what you find on the SWC.
[Android Head-Units] priusfan:
Hi ,I have also a huifei...

It works perfectly for my use...

What is better with the Newsmy (IMHO): a bigger screen and the possibilty to use BT tethering.

the radio is much better on the Huifei (RDS, AF & so on).

the sound control is also much better on the huifei.
[Android Head-Units] NU5002S:
Hooked up Wheel Key 1 (from NU-5002) to the black/brown wire from the little microphone-connector thing on the ASWC (purchased separately)

ASWC hooks up to my Camry stock wires, converts signal into something Wheel Key 1 can understand. Open up "Key Editor" program and press volume up to learn, volume down to learn, etc.

I didn't buy a dash kit. I'm not going to do any cutting, it sits there quite nicely and I like the angle that it is facing. If I were to mount a NU-3001 to my dash with a kit, the unit would face too upward causing the screen to look washed out.
[Android Head-Units] mother-:
I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that they're not: I ordered a 2gb 3001 from Sindy (that seller) on 12/6 and on 12/10 I got the notification that it shipped (which means they printed a DHL label for it). However the tracking still says "Shipping information received" indicating that they have not actually shipped it.

I've send a feedback form to the Germans to confirm that they really don't have the package and it's not just slow tracking updates, but if this were coming directly from their stock, I can't see it taking 10+ days to ship.

Ordered DT1209S-H-N

Hi,

I just ordered the DT1209S-H-N by Summer. It is a dual system, but with a working RDS radio.

I know it's for a VW, but Summer told me this head unit will better fit into my Peugeot.

It will be delivered with a canbus decoder specially for my Peugeot 207 with SWC.

Also ordered a BT ODB2 plug and rearview camera.

Can't wait to play

Wonder if I can also install Red software on this unit. The Android box looks the same.

Regards,

Bocky Wocky
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I ordered the 3001 2GB on the 6th Dec via the Aliexpress shop/Summer , got the shipping request raised with DHL on the 10th and just today it states its been collected. Think one other posted that it took about 15 days to get theirs and that wasn't at the busy Christmas period so will be interesting when it turns up.
[Android Head-Units] dahamsta:
Excuse the very basic question, but would this generally be considered the most powerful and/or best Android head unit currently available? I've been looking for one for a while now but everything seems grossly underpowered for some bizarre reason -- it seems odd that we can cram quad-core CPUs into 5" handsets but head units still come with resistive screens and crappy unspecified CPUs.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
That's up for debate as I think this is a very niche market which even the big brands, imho, aren't getting quite right and tend to charge a lot higher prices for. Therefore it has tended to move at a slower pace than we see on the mass market tablet market for example. Things may change as Android Auto is released and starts to define a standard for this which means the aftermarket is likely to take off over the next few years until the OEM models become good enough.

I've also been keeping an eye on this area for the past year ever since I spotted the AN-21U thread but never bought as it was only dual core and as I'd just bought my quad core nexus 5 that performs very well I thought I'd wait a bit longer. A quad core unit did appear in another thread but it didn't seem to get very good feedback. Then this unit appeared and seemed to break tradition by being quad core, kitkat, a separate android box, be android only with no WinCE built in, the android source is available (although not the MCU or ongoing patches I believe) and probably the most important is there are at least a couple of devs who are willing to provide some effort in making it better (although accepted that might change at some point).

Anyway I have decided to buy as it seems to be ticking a few of my boxes now however its still a gamble as I don't know how exactly it will sound, how good the radio is and I expect the software won't be as polished as I'd like so I'm setting my expectations at a sensible level. However its all swings and roundabouts and I can default back to the stock OEM unit or upgrade it to the next better model next year and flog this on ebay.
[Android Head-Units] mother-:
Mine is still showing just "Shipping information received" and if it shipped today perhaps it could be here in 15 days. As to the "Christmas" thing- I ordered something last night from Amazon and it was delivered this morning. It shouldn't be all that relevant to a Chinese company like Newsmy, and it has nothing to do with setting proper expectations. Regardless, it defies western logic for a manufacturer sitting on ~1000 of these to wait 9+ days to ship a unit- I'm guessing revenue recognition works differently over there! (Or, what seems more likely to me- that we're buying these from people who first have to purchase them from Newsmy, who actually has them in stock...)

BTW Yeah, I'm a little disappointed simply because after knowing my location the Aliexpress listing stated that delivery time was 3-7 business days, and in addition to now realizing I ordered from the wrong company, it's the 6th business day and it still has not shipped. The good news is that the double din faceplate for my Excursion seems to be being hand carried from California to Florida, and still might not beat the Newsmy here :eek:
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I'd love to know exactly what goes on over there as you are right in saying it shouldn't take 9+ days to ship if they have stock. I'd also love to know how much these cost to manufacture as I'm sure there is a healthy profit in there somewhere. My connects2 harness shipped today so hopefully that will turn up by the end of the week.

Re Christmas period, here in the UK one of the biggest couriers (and some would argue the worst) had to stop collecting items for 2 days last week in order to clear their backlog after black friday and manic monday (or whatever they call it). So I'm expecting things to take a bit longer than usual.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
I know the wait sucks. I waited for 4 days? ( messing with you) in the mean time by the reverse camera, buy the bluetooth OD2 reader....buy stuff that you will need for it. Just be prepared so when it does get here you will have everything to set it all up. Also look into getting a screen protector for it.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Nothing this powerful or customize-able yet, there was one quad core unit, but they did a switch and shipped later units with dual core...

They are still supporting this units, so the company still trying to improve it. hence the reason I bought this a while back.
