True, I bought 3 scanners and one Torque did not like in fast mode.

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

I just came across some scanners on eBay that say they power off after 30 minutes, I wonder if they power on when the car is started.

Vgate iCar 3 or something.

I know why she's more on Facebook.. Facebook has multiple servers all almost every country to keep data loaded fast over the world.

XDA does not and is very slow in her country.

Try to download the ROM from the baidu site (which is located in China/Japan.. It takes forever! She has the same thing with the XDA website.

Hey everyone,

i got my unit today. It's a really nice HU and from the tests i have done today, i can say everything is working. Good sound quality, perfect radio reception... It's like day and night if i would compare it with my old HuiFei unit :)

I want to say thanks to everyone that invested time to improve this HU so far, it's definitely a lot of work. Unfortunately i am not a developer, but i will be following this thread and will try to help whenever i can.

Best regards to all of you!
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Sorry about just throwing up the picture without thanking you in "public" but at the time I was driving and trying to set up your theme. Kids, don't forget, it's illegal to set up a theme and take a picture of said theme and post said picture on XDA whilst driving!!! :p

GREAT JOB. Cant thank you enough for doing that for all of us.

Hopefully we can all help you improve it with suggestions and new icons or whatever else you need.....

Do we have a way to get to "recent apps" if I hide the NavBar? I do a LOT of switching between apps while driving. lol

I hit the "Phone" Icon and it's asking me to select a phone app, which I don't have and the "stock" phone app in the H/U doesn't show up as a selectable choice.

Need a suggestion on a good phone app. Although the "click to call" on my unit doesn't work at all so not sure if having a phone app will do me any good.

THANKS to Renedis for his help I was able to get the device connected to WIn7 and rooted.. I installed Xposed Frame Work and App Settings and I made the one app the right size. the key was let it connect to win7 and use adbdriver.com and installed the correct drivers.. then Kingo worked

Now if if there is a way to allow AVIN to continue to play audio when you navigate away from it, I would be all set..

This is widely off-topic, but

- is 40 pids ok?

- is that the one linked to by zanix ?

- Does it really turn off after 30 mins?
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
without "fast" mode you get max 20 pids. 40 is alot better. But the OBD2 to USB versions with a newer chip (official from scantool) can get up to 150 pids.

150 pids is extremely high. 40 pids is enough for daily use.

Don't really know if it turns off after 30 min. I do know that when I turn ignition off that there is only one red led light on. Didn't really tested if that turns of after 30 min.

Changelog:

1. Solution standby music and video playback problems continue.

2. Increase the Bluetooth module upgrades.
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
Thank you :)

I am wondering what the changes are
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Have you tried USB to OBD ? Its faster and more secure than BT OBD, its also more appropriate - BT is designed for portable devices, since the headunit stays in the car and is not portable, you dont really need BT for it.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Only issue with that is, for some cars where the obdII port is, you'll always ne kicking the single with the usb wire hanging out, know that ne the case on my car. As anytime I'm working on it using my USB reader I'm always kicking it lol.
[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
for version 1.1.3 we just extract the update.img to the root of the SD Card and then use the app on the unit to apply it?

Has anyone updated to this yet? I assume it will not wipeout everything already done (except maybe root)
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Normally for me, my device will display a pop up saying a new firmware is available and ask to install, I select yes, it reboots & installs, keeps my apps, but root likely be gone, not certain tho

Interested to see the changes, I'm running the amplified cfw currently. Likely wont flash till tomorrow as I need igo to work tonight for a roadtrip, flashing may kill root & the apo that hides the taskbar lol
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
I had that same problem. At least on my car, the OBD port is connected to a metal frame that is part of the chassis. I just disconnected the OBD port from the frame and now I can place it anywhere I want, without me kicking it all the time.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
I could do that, but that would make it more a pain when I need to hookup to use the cable specific for my vcds program that does my troubleshooting on my vw lol.

I think my cheap obdII Bluetooth one works, haven't actually tried it with this hu tho, it did work om my huifei unit when I ran torque once lol.

2 things..

Does anyone know what actual app controls AVIN?

Also I found that I cannot dial/call from my contacts (numbers are grayed out so I cannot select them to make a call) My phone was connected and I found the hard way when I press sync contacts on the bluetooth settings it ended up copying and renaming a bunch of contacts on my Google account. (MCU 31 and ROM 1.1.1) has anyone experienced this? I thought I read that somewhere in this thread but cannot find it now
[Android Head-Units] renedis:

I use a standard Mini-USB to connect to the computer, and a multi-volt Radio shack adapta-plug POS to power the device. I have it set at 9V I think (high as this adapter goes) and I am able to flash with RKbatchtool all day long (and some days I do. )

I have never had any issue with flashing 1.1.1/1.1.2 or Amplified (I always do a 'restore'. I rarely have my unit fully configured as I'm constantly re-flashing it to test AOKP stuff.

so far for me, it's mostly been an oversized radio. On the occasions I do need GPS, I tether real quick and set up Waze. Works fine, just a pain for me to keep having to reset everything up each time I flash.

So, if someone needs a project, here it is: Get CWM working on this POS.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

You don't need root, edit built.prop by android sdk.

Here's how to permanently disable the soft keys:

Download and install the Android SDK, and ensure the Android Tools package is installed. This will install adb.

Connect the Android Box to your computer via the USB OTG cable. This can be done while the Android Box is connected to the head unit, or powered by a DC 12v adapter.

From the Android SDK installation directory, run the following code:

adb remount

adb shell "echo "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" >> /system/build.prop"

adb reboot

1 It seems that BonovoMCU developed for BT module update mode.

via

private String pathName = "/mnt/external_sd/BTHUpdate.dfu";

file

2. And now owner can test (and switch) OTG connection (host or slave) direct from MCU app

3. GOOD NEWS! BonovoMCU.apk code contain next call external function

private final native int jniPickColor(int var1, int var2, int var3) throws IllegalStateException;

Dialing/syncing/calling problems was discussed long time ago and seems, should be mentioned in wiki too. Try to use 3rd part caller and contact APPs like exdialer.

Do not use native bluetooth app for contact synchronization - it will mess things up. Make contacts sync with google or export/import as file.

Color change in the MCU app is not made for the NU3001. You can tell this by looking at the height of the color chart.

I can tell that the audio output is lower then before. Previously I had the volume between 12 and 15 for pleasant sound. Now I have to set it to 18 or 20 to get the same sound.

I did not tested the Radio app. (I was hungry and needed to get home to eat :P )

[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
Do you mean each of the coloured squares represents an RGB LED? I guess the android box will be powering a number of bespoke head units so maybe you are correct. Although there would be nothing to say you can only control the LEDs you have assuming they are RGB ones and controllable?

Maybe its the connections under the tape as they are quite exposed.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
No.. I mean that the RGB settings in the MCU app are not made for the NU3001. I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty confident that the NU3001 has no RGB leds but just plain white leds.

Therefore I think that the RGB settings are made for the VW version or some other model.

It works and the sound still comes out the stereo. YAY!

The mic is a bit weak though. I would suggest taking it apart and soldering a new mic onto it.

Yep, I just took my stereo apart. The tape hides the digitizer, the LCD cable is on the right side.

I also saw the LEDs on the right side... they are only white, not RGB :'(

Also, I think I found the internal mic at the bottom of the LED circuit board.

That's what I actually aiming at when I said replacing them, to solder new ones. Is it an LED strip or just individual LEDs diodes? Just curious how you determined that they where white, because all strips and diodes look white but some only light up white while others have RGB to either achieve a white or multi color light.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
If you look at the pics Zanix took then you will see they are individual SMD LEDs with only 2 connections which would imply its single colour as RGB typically have more connections to drive the different colours.

[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
More connections, a circuit which has to drive those connections and be software controlled. Its a bit more complicated than just a simple white LED with 2 connections however you'd think they'd be experienced in designing these by now. I wonder if this was this designed by Newsmy or another party/supplier and Newsmy are just an assembler/integrator?

Looks as though a strip of 20 SMD LEDs is about £0.99 on ebay and some red film is around £2. The film is definitely the easier of the options though and maybe a bit more flexible with getting the colour match right.
