Bluetooth update didn't work for me - just said "Update file not found". But it is definitely in the internal sdcard folder. Tried after reboot/bluetooth on/off, etc. I'm running xdAuto with the latest Linaro.zip build (with v2.19 bootloader)

Also I loaded the stock ROM 1.3.7 file linked above into FFT and there was no boot animation or default wallpaper. When I went to write out the modified file (or even if I did not modilfy) I got a "failed..." error. Anyone installed it successfully, I'm nervous to try. I guess I should also ask if going back and forth from xdAuto to stock ROM is risky - ie reverting to stock is not known to brick the device, is it?

...edit: 4pda.ru seem to indicate the bluetooth update is required after installing 1.3.7
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I guess that's why the instructions say to use stock 1.3.7 or later.

Typical Newsmy quality, the update function probably didn't work until that version.

Hi Guys terribly sorry for this silly question my device is the NU5261 on mucv52 and stock rom 1.3.4. After the update the fonts are smaller even apps like waze look much smaller is there anyway to fix them ?Many t hanks in advance
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Figured out how to d/l the ROM straight from Baidu. No change, FFT will read in the firmware but not put out a new file (says no found kernel.img). Running FFT 5.0.

Anyone who has installed it, are there any obvious changes from 1.3.5?

Waze - not enough screen space to log in

Hi all! Can anyone tell me how to make the waze ui fit in the screen? the login window is off the frame.
[Android Head-Units] octavecat:
Replying to myself: I used the app "Window Manipulator" to change the dpi to 180, which made the login window fit in the screen, logged in, then reverted.

Thanks for this! I'm interested in the NR5002 because I want a head unit with no buttons.
[Android Head-Units] htc-rocks:
Yes it should work. I have a USB webcam I use as a dash cam and it doubles as a mic for google now no worries.
[Android Head-Units] B-Hard:
Thank you very much! Will try that soon, cause such adapters are quite cheap and I have some lavalier mics at home...

Hi,

I've recently bought NR3001 and have some trouble with my OEM Subaru reversing camera. AFAIK it's composite NTSC (see: http://ae64.com/Rear-camera-install-8p.htm), so it should be compatible with the CarPad, but I'm getting overexposed image with distorted colors:

I've connected RCA cable to the original car installation like this:

In RGB Camera mode (set in MCU settings) the image seems to be better, but in greyscale:

The camera was connected to the original HU using 4 cables:

(see http://www.subaruforester.org/vbull...amera-cp635u1-hu-research-101481/#post1101341)

- camera video signal (+)

- camera video GND

- camera power (+6V)

- camera detect (original HU knows that the camera is present when it's grounded)

I've connected the first two cables to the composite reverse camera input of the CarPad and V.CON +12V from CarPad via 7806 regulator to camera's +6V (GND for power is taken from elsewhere, but I've also tried taking it from camera video GND).

Any ideas what could be wrong or what I could try to fix it?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Amplifier

I have a bose amplifier and am assuming that the speaker out wires from the Carpad 3 headunit are already amplified, will running these speaker wires to my amplifier cause issues? If so, does the Carpad 3 have any pre-amp outputs?

It does if you order the 5.1 cable with it. Check the wiki.

I noticed after updating stock MCUv53 and ROM v1.3.5 the resolutions have change everything is smaller eg. fonts. To fix this issue should the device NU5261 be rooted?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Yes, then you an use one of the DPI changing apps on the Play Store to change it back to a value you prefer.

The old version was 240 dpi, they now use 160 dpi.
[Android Head-Units] JrOmnia:
Thank you friend.
[Android Head-Units] phatass_dk:
Hi guys,

I just received my Newsmy NR5261 and so far I am loving it already before having installed it in the car.

Thanks for all the tips and tricks.

I am having an issue with Google Maps being terribly choppy and I don't know how to fix it.

I have tried deleting the app and then reinstalling but the issue remains.

I have taken a small video of the issue: https://youtu.be/XFsr0oVRKRU

I am running MCU v52 and xdAuto 1.1.6d.

Hope you can help me out.

Thanks.

[Android Head-Units] phatass_dk:
Nevermind the Maps issue - I have another more pressing issue now, damn.

The device seems to be soft-bricked - stuck in a boot loop.

Is there any way I can recover?
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
to install rear camera there is a tutorial?

i don't know also if is possible get the rearview only with reverse or also without, so for example i can see the rear and i can go forward

A question for NU5261 I noticed there's a dummy button that indicates RES. I flipped open the button and inside there's a miniature button and something that looks like an SD card slot... May I know what are their functions... Many thanks
[Android Head-Units] highjack84:
RES is the hardware reset button.

The sdcard-looking slot is actually the sdcard slot.

Hope this helps!
[Android Head-Units] txb142:
Summer got back to me and said the following:

The size need add Frame, and since it has steeling wheel control, cannot support.

I'm not sure what she means about having steering wheel control? I would think having buttons would help out. Is it because the gearshift is in the steering column? Does she mean that it wouldn't work without significant hacking?

If I can't get a Carpad fit/working what would be the best unit to get (Features and Stability being the top concern)? Doing a quick search I think a S150 would fit. Below is a picture of my steering wheel/radio, 2008 2008 Buick Lucerne CXL:
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
I think she meant that the spot is bigger than the size of the head unit, so you may need to use a frame. She also added that, since you have steering wheel controls on your steering wheel, the device will not support your controls.
[Android Head-Units] Dannnyyy:
About to order my Newsmy pretty soon, but think I read somewhere that you can only have apps on the 8(16) GB provided and you can't install apps on any external SD's? Is that still the case or is this solveable with some workaround? I'd like to install TomTom App (3GB maps) and download offline Spotify music (~8GB), so this won't be enough.

I have a very big problem with my NR3001

Doesn't work "Ok Google" from any screen and also when i click to microphone. Seems that doesn't detect the microphone.

I use a microphone in jack, but should be work because i have a NR3001 and i bought it for that.

please help me, why doesn' work? :crying::crying::crying:

(for call works) this is my mic but doesn't change with stock mic, because is the same jack.
[Android Head-Units] kamhunt:
You need a USB MIC for OK Google.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
The NR series shouldn't require a USB mic for "Ok Google"

robertusIT are you use you don't have a NU3001?
[Android Head-Units] uh2:
NR series does NOT require a USB mic. I use it with the stock mic.

Make sure the connector is pushed ALL the way in, in the back. My first time it didn't work, and it was because it had an extra 'click' to go.

[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
maybe is possibile because i replace the default mic with a parrot that in the jack seems to be mono and not stereo?

i can't for now remove the radio, but you think that the problem is it?

the default mic have a structure not good for my car, for that i replace with this another image

EDIT: this morning i update with last version about google app and works.... So only the previous version of google app doesn't works. Very very strange....

So the question is: why the default mic on my NR3001 is stereo or anyway seems to be stereo?

I am thinking of getting the oneplus 2 phone. Does anyone have an experience with this phone connected via bluetooth to this radio unit? I am asking since a friend of mine has it and cannot connect to his stock peugeot radio unit. I am running xdauto on my radio currently.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Anyone else experiencing frequent Waze crashes? Mine is OK while running for the most part but at start up after cold boot or coming out of standby it will report as stopped and when I relaunch sometimes it redoes the entire initialization process. I have an NR3001 running xdAuto.

Gonemad audio focus

I'm feeling like my posts go into the abyss but...

I tried out gonemad music player. In many ways it seems like it would be perfect, but it does not give up audio focus when running the radio app. I know others here use it, does anyone else not have this problem?

Contacted developer. There is an audio preference setting to allow another app to take focus. Working well now.

Will this mic work? If it does, it should be added to the wiki along with the other list of USB mics that work.

[Android Head-Units] kingamra:
I remember once Tautara saying this device was un-brickable... well...

Everything fine yesterday morning... came out to drive home - started car and everything started FC'ing. Rebooted and stuck on the swirling dots of google.

Tried to RKBatch flash an img file (latest on Zaphod's AOSP and T's old one) - getting the green light but all flashes are failing.

Trying to ADB into recovery with "device not found"

suggestions please. to un-brick the unbrickable? :)
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Sorry kingamra about your issues. Hope you find a solution, I'm afraid I can't be much help. Assumed you tried the reset button while plugging in usb? I don't know details as I have an NR but I read about it here.

Unrelated, yesterday I flashed 1.3.7 followed by the bluetooth update. Then I flashed back to xdauto. Haven't noticed anything different with bluetooth. Today I might try the turning the radio off in a call to see if they may have addressed that, though I doubt it. I can send the files to whomever usually hosts them and we can update the wiki. Didn't notice anything new in 1.3.7 when it was installed except that of course it lets you update the Bluetooth. Earlier versions do not.
[Android Head-Units] JrOmnia:
I take it that you updated the stock rom ver 1.3.7 if so may I know if theres a change in the dpi ? I am currently running on v1.3.4 hoping to fix the dpi through root by following the the steps provided by the wiki page.

However as I connect my Win10 surface pro to the NU5261 under the device managers list should show unknown device with a question mark symbol but there isnt any in my list.

There is a category called Portable Devices click and expand that and it only shows D:\ and E:\ so I tried Universal Serial Bus Devices and it shows Car pad II right click to update the drivers and pointing them to the right folder win8 but the notification I got was ADB drivers are up to date.

Tried Kingo-root but it shows root fail not sure if I'm following the right steps to root the device pls help many thanks
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Still the same DPI as far as I could tell (i.e. small text). I had a lot of trouble at first getting the drivers installed as well; finally used the rockchip driver assistant. I used Win7 64bit, so no advice on win10. I could root using the wiki method but was not successful in changing from superuser to supersu. Installed xdauto which is rooted out of the box.

Has anyone had any luck with the delayed GPS lock issue? It's maddening...after about 10 minutes (or longer, or never) I get a lock. It's not a specific app, it's definitely the head unit. The antenna is sitting on the dash and the wire is completely extended.

Frustrating!

Is it possible to get line level output using an HDMI to audio converter connected to NU3001 android box minihdmi port? Does that kind of output play radio?

For the NR model. Does Google Music or Spotify recognize a new usb device and allow for storage on that media?
[Android Head-Units] Dannnyyy:

[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Spotify certainly writes stuff on my USB hard-drive...
[Android Head-Units] uh2:
I've used both and it works.

Your problem may be when you resume from standby. If the application tries to restart the music where you left off BEFORE Android has finished mounting the drive, you're not gonna have a good time.
[Android Head-Units] foldedpaper:
Thanks. Has that happened to you with USB flash drives? Or are you specifically referring to say a external hdd?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
No, mine locks within seconds normally.

Is your windshield one of those type that blocks GPS signals? If it is, the owners manual will sometimes tell you where you have to put the antenna for the signal to get through.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
I think this is what is crashing my Waze. Is it possible to set up Tasker or other to have Waze gracefully exit on shutdown? Is it possible to prevent any app from being selected until USB mounting is complete?

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

I can't find this in the wiki... can you point me to it?

Edit... Found in the tutorials section.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Yes, you can use a converter but you will only get Android audio, not radio, bluetooth, or line-in.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Sorry to be asking this again but anyone has any feedback? Thanks
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Once in a great while I will have an issue with GPS Lock but it's few and far between. My GPS antenna is sitting right on my dash on the driver side, underneath the inspection and registration stickers. Usually when I can't get a lock in a decent amount of time, I either (A) Reboot the unit (B) Launch every GPS signal acquiring app (Waze, google Maps, etc) one of those two usually gets a lock pretty quickly. Unless I'm in a parking garage or something. ;)

Why don't you manually exit Waze when you are leaving your car? I shut it off manually and haven't had one issue yet.

Never heard of any of those apps that you are talking about so can't give you any feedback. I'm sure if someone here did they would chime in.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
Setting the Newsmy up for my wife and having to remember to shut the app down and wait to start it up lowers the WAF :o
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Perfectly understandable. lol

I'm not sure, but perhaps you can create a Tasker script for that then?
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Ok thanks for your reply atleast :) Ok so if I may word it differently, can Tasker run apps on device bootup, standby and wake? Basically I would need to start recording either when the device boots or when it wakes up from standby, and stop recording before the device goes to sleep. Are there actions? I am sorry but I have never used Tasker before.
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Tasker is a whole different animal my friend. I've used it but for basic stuff like turning on and off my Tethering on my phone when it connects to the H/U. There are all sorts of tutorials out there and some of them are quite "deep" with programming. People have programmed their phones using Tasker to wipe blow their noses (exaggeration of course!) so I'm sure it can be done? Just how to code the "program" is the hard part.

I know Tasker runs on startup, don't know about "sleep and standby" though. Phones really don't have those functions so Tasker may not recognize those states?
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Ok i guess I'll have to do more research then hehe ?

I'm curious though as some people are already using webcam as a dashcam. Just wondering what app they use and if they start/stop it manually.

Hi guys I'm new to this forum but you have so much information on the carpad that I cant help but keep coming back to your site, currently I'm stuck between two double din radio choices and was wondering what you guys think is better: the Carpad nr3001 or the Xtrons TD696A? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Head-Units] highjack84:
The xtrons, IIRC, is a rebranded KLD. U will recieve much support here for it since its not a new platform.

The Newsmy unit is reportedly by a few to encounter issues with crashing, encryption issues and forced factory reset.

I would say the android Headunit field is still very much in its green stage, expect hiccups no matter which unit u choose.
[Android Head-Units] octavecat:
Rarely have crashes with the exact same setup you are using. The only trouble I ever have with Waze is it won't calculate the route and hangs, but I get that on my N5X as well

I was able to have a more clear conversation with summer with the help of a friend who knows Chinese. To get the carpad NR3001 to work in my 2008 Buick Lucerne CXL I'll need a Lucerne Double Din Dash Kit or the like and also a PAC to retain steering wheel controls, Onstar, XM, etc etc.

Would the RP5-GM31 be the hardware to get to make it all work, or is there something that'd would better with the carpad?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
As far as from what I see the specs of RP5-GM31, it is a multi purpose steering wheel interface for after market radios. However, I could not find information whether the outputs are analog resistive signal or not. If you make sure that the device outputs anolog resistive signals, you can use the device with NR/NU3001.

For my car, I inspected the buttons and its wire. I measured the button's behaivour with a multi-meter (by disconnecting the car from the ACC power) , and discovered that, my steering wheel buttons are resistive. So searched for the wire that comes from the buttons and goes into the brain of the car. I cut those two wires (number of wires depends on the car model and manufacturer) and made an extension to connect to SWC1 and SWC2 wires behind NU3001. Now, the car's brain doesn't recognize the buttons but NU3001 does. I don't need the buttons for the car to work. They are only used for HU.

May be this kind of solution also works for you?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I use the Metra GMOS in my 2005 GMC. I use a PAC in my daughters Dodge. Both seem to work fairly well, but the GMOS had a few more tweaks/options in my case.

Might find some more info here: http://www.installer.com/cars/by_car.php?carid=5970

Note that in the case of the PAC & the GMOS, they Typically don't come with the SWC baked in. They often expose a harness that you connect to their adapter. So you may need to buy two devices :) (I have a GMOS-04 & the AWSC-1 in the GMC)

I have not read any reports on issues with last xdAuto-1.1.6d build but after upgrading from 1.1.6c2, i have lost radio and ability to up the volume above 70% on any app.

Restoring to 1.1.6c2 returns the radio and volume.

Is there something i have missed in the processes or its my luck?
[Android Head-Units] uh2:
No, my windshield doesn't block the signal.

I *think* the problem may be that on startup the unit is expecting to be in China?!? Unsure. I know that if I wait about 10-15 minutes, it starts working on it's own. I think I'll try rooting the unit and going from there.

Waze crashed on resume for me this morning. It was the first time I left it running at shutdown.
