That is one solution since the power is never removed from that port. Though your power consumption with ignition off will be much higher since the HDD will be running the whole time.

Just updated my MCU to V46 and flashed Xdauto 1.1.6c2.

Thank you guys to develop on NU3001 !

No problems, all seems to work but... no RDS :crying:
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
I agree... not really an ideal solution. But i don't have much choice, I have set my standby to 2hrs to reduce battery drain.

Thanks again for your help on this one

What's the difference between the 5002 and the 3001?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Mainly the screen.... nu5002 is 8" display with no buttons.

Nu3001 is 7" with buttons on the side and IR reciever
[Android Head-Units] Sixstroke:
Thank you Wacko!

5002 it is!
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Hi Mate,

Just tried Advanced Brightness/AB, and i still have the same problem. If i adjust the brightness in AB everything works fine within the app. But again the problem arises when the device is rebooted and AB changes the brightness the device goes into standby.

Can you confirm that yours does not? easiest way to test is set the brightness level to highest setting at your current time in AB, then go to settings and set the brightness to its lowest and then reboot the device. When the AB starts and adjusts the brightness the device will go into standby (well mine does anyway) you will have to touch the screen to waken the device.

I hope this is not to much to ask? Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

To be honest i have the Nu5002 and i am missing the buttons. But if you have compatible steering controls you should be fine in that respect

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

Sorry for the late reply, sadly i did not have much luck with this. After talking to many manufactures i was advised that bonding the screen and digitizer was the best option, but that comes at a large $$$ and both parts need to be compatible with the device etc etc etc...

There were a few very helpful manufactures whom i put in touch with Summer/Newsmy in the hope that they would improve their future products.

Last time i spoke with those manufactures they informed me that Newsmy where not to interested once they released that they did not want to buy their product.

The bloody language barrier can be so frustrating!!!
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Few... so it's not just me.

Just to confirm I'm running XdAuto 1.1.6c2 and MCU v41
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
I am running xdAuto 1.1.6.c2 MCUv45.

May be somebody tries with stock rom and experience?
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Was thinking the same thing.... if nobody can help with that I will do a twrp backup and try myself to help troubleshoot.

[MENTION=3249863]Psy87[/MENTION] I will also try Twilight app to see if that works.
[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
I'm not having your issues.

XDAuto 1.1.6c, MCU v45

I adjust brightness with MCU via car lights, and via twilight. Set transition to 60min, brightness to the lowest and added a grey shade of 60%.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Thanks for the reply. Will test tonight
[Android Head-Units] tiwi3101:
I'm running stock rom 1.2.0 and MCU V45 with bonovomcu.apk from Xdauto and the standby works, i don't have any problem with backlight and reboot, the only bug is annoying me is the radar view is switching all the time with the normal screen when radar sensors detect something.

An other issue with radar sensors, i have HU 5261 on my VW Tiguan with extended sensors (Park assist) all around the car, and it's not displayed on the screen like normally with original VW HU.

Is someone experience this problem and is there any issue?
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
[MENTION=6896320]tiwi3101[/MENTION] thanks for your reply.

Are you adjusting the brightness of your display through an app or Tasker? That is what is causing the unit to go into standby after adjustment.

Sorry can't help with the parking sensors as I don't have them.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Does twilight adjust brightness if the illumination(car light) wire is active?
[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
I guess it does. Because I used twilight to get the display even darker using the greyshade.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Very well. My illumination wire is directly connected to front lights, to both rear and far lights using two diots. If twilight understands that the illumination is active and dims the backlight it is nice for me.
[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
Twilight is used for time-based dimming. In your case you need to check the option within MCU app. Twilight can dim on top of that according sunset or sunrise or absolut time zone if you like.

There's a free version to try out.
[Android Head-Units] pfarley11:
Okay. Thanks. Does anyone happen to know if Carpad 3 might have a brighter display? I saw the posted specs of the unit, but a large part of it was in Mandarin.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Very little information has been released so far, every time I ask all I hear is they are being manufactured and should be released soon.
[Android Head-Units] Daniux:
Hi to all, is there a way to power on the unit without connecting it to the car? Iwold like to test it before mounting it
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
Yes you can connect it it via HDMI to a TV using Mouse and Keyboard via USB but you need to power it. There are different ways to power, USB might work but it might not work then you need a 12v DC supply to a micro connector in the box. You will find details on the wiki. Basically the whole thing works easily and reliably

Can someone please confirm that this is the correct to input the newly builtin intents?

"android.intent.action.BONOVO_SET_AUDIO_CHANNEL - channel2"

This will be input into Tasker as a "send intent" so when a certain event is received the audio will switch to "Aux In" (this will result in both Aux in and main android system audio sources running)

Am i correct? Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
The intent should be "android.intent.action.BONOVO_SET_AUDIO_CHANNEL" and the value passed should be "2".
[Android Head-Units] joker017:
Hi all !

Could someone explain me how to avoid the Android Box to restart each time the car is truned off ?

Thanks a lot.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Thanks for the reply Bokomaru.

Stupid question is it _CHANNEL2 or is there a space _CHANNEL 2

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

There is an app called "update setting" already on your device.

You need to have the android box connect to the H/U. Open the app and go the last setting tab on the left.

There should be settings to adjust the standby time and airplane mode there.
[Android Head-Units] joker017:
I know this setting but there is no possibility to change the value.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Sorry didn't notice the space in there when I cut and pasted.

The intent is:

android.intent.action.BONOVO_SET_AUDIO_CHANNEL

The value is:

2

Edit: very weird that the forum was messing with it and putting a space in there. The channel number does not go along with the intent name it is the value that is passed with it
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
I really sorry but can you tell me where to insert the "2" in Tasker.

I have tried every way possible but to no avail.
[Android Head-Units] skange01:
What is the max standby setting that can be used?
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Please see photo
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Under tasker you would set the Action to the intent name and then under Extra add: "channel:2"
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Yes.... absolute legend! Thanks mate

But as always I have 1 more question.

Can I use tasker to control the H/U master volume.

[MENTION=2190016]Zaphod-Beeblebrox[/MENTION]

Mate thanks for your efforts to make the above link happen.

I have a question (quiet a few of late) and I believe your the best person to ask, is it possible to set the volume to a % like 30% of the total volume?

Or is this restricted to only 1 step increments?

Thankyou
[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
What I found:
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
hmmm.... would be great if its possible to adjust the slider on a %

Hopefully some of the Experts here may have the time to assess if its possible?

P.s please dont take that as a demand, if its possible i will add it to the to do list on the wiki (thats if all agree)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Currently the intents only allow steps. Eventually we may add intents to set specific value (I think it was requested once before as well).

I've been very busy of late, and so has [MENTION=6472486]leonkernan[/MENTION], so I don't think much progress has been made on xdAuto. Hopefully in the next few months, a couple of projects I'm working on will finish, and my son's fall baseball season will be over, so I may find a little more time to work on it.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:

Anybody tried yet the new TomTomGomobile 1.7 dialing feature? Seems not to work in nu3001 dialer. I am well connected via BT and dialing works well from contacts but not from TomTom.

[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I always intended on switching these to be sliders to have a better range instead of just a bunch of fixed values, but haven't had the chance to do it. Patches welcome :) The absolute maximum allowed by the HU is really huge, though I've never tested to see if it will take a value that high or would I want to wait that long to see if it works.

[Android Head-Units] Psy87:
I made a task in Tasker for adjusting the volume. I want to use this for start volume.

So I made a process which sends 25x VOLUMESUB_KEY intends and then 10x VOLUMEADD_KEY intends. Thats working great and fast.

Now I want to create a profile and I'm looking for a trigger. Currently I use "display on". "Display off" didn't work. Do you have any ideas?

On the next step I want to do this for reverse gear. How can I trigger that? I know there is an intend for that, but how can I receive this in tasker?

If anybody interested, I can upload this profile so far.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Good thinking on the volume, I will implement for sure.

I have been working on tasker profiles etc on this device for way to long, and I am still no expert by any means (not even close)

I will upload all my profiles and tasks to try and help others.

I have setup a lot of auto-voice profiles which work brilliantly (voice activated)

-search in browser

-launch app

-search in app (not all apps have the built-in intents but I can search in poweramp by voice)

-search and call in my contacts

I have also setup a profile which will read sms and send a reply all by voice - but sadly this is not working as it is not able to pick up the default txt app but it works perfect on my phone. Hopefully someone can help finish this.

I have also got tablet talk which works perfectly but its all manual and the above profile will not identify Tablet talk as the default txt app

Also a reverse intent received - As I have a mic built-in on my camera this profile will check if media is playing and then pause it, then turn the audio source to channel 2 / AuxIn and then adjust the volume. As the same reverse intent is sent when camera is turned on or off, I have had to setup variables/counters so it knows what to do on the second intent.

Brightness adjustment based on time – but as stated before this puts the device into standby – I have added actions after the adjustment which will wake the device up

Hope this helps others – also if you plan to use auto-voice there is a few app you will have to pay for, but its well worth the $$$ about $10 in total

Please let me know if there is things I can improve on – all advice appreciated as always

Why do you need to swap folders, Apollo for example scans all the mp3 files on the unit and the SD card (plus any other memory plugged into a connected) usb hub and creates one library. You can then make your own playlists and change playlists.

The newer stock rom's work at 160dpi, after some trials we're still at 240dpi which makes things much larger.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
There were 2 different ZIPs of 1.1.6c2 released one at the normal 240dpi and one at 160dpi. I'm guessing they picked the one at 160dpi.

I definitely prefer the 240dpi
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
The newer versions of the stock rom use a different DPI than xdAuto.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Just a follow up on the above problem,

Last night I spent a bit of time and flashed Tuatara Carpad II ROM-1.1.4.3 which also had the same issue.

I also flashed Stock roms 1.1.9 to 1.2.7 but had problems with either Google Play services not being able to sign in (also tried installing newer versions of the apk) or unable to get root access, so the tests on these was unsuccessful.

It seems more likely to do with the H/U or MCU side of thing. Guessing here :confused:

I also tried sending the following Intents before and after the adjustment:

android.intent.action.BONOVO_WAKEUP_KEY

android.intent.action.BONOVO_UPDATEBRIGHTNESS_KEY

In the end none of the above worked, so I have left it with the below intent which is sent 3sec after the brightness adjustment:

android.intent.action.BONOVO_SEND_POWER_KEY not ideal but works

3g dongle, DVB-T dongle, Headunit wiring

Can someone recommend me a 3G (or even 4G) dongle, available to buy new today, that works with xdAuto-1.6c2 out of the box?

Same question for a DVB-T/T2 stick.

I have a huawei K3565 and while AT commands work fine, the dongle is not working in Android Settings. If I scan for network providers I always get an error.

I did try the guide on how to get any dongle working with android, I do have ttyUSB0-3 but I never got a ppp0 interface.

Another question: if you want to power the head unit out of the car with an ATX power supply, what wires should get the +12v and ground?

I used an old motherboard to make the ATX power supply "start" giving power.

I've connected the ground and +12v yellow wires of the power supply to ground and +12v battery, but that never did anything with the headunit. I currently wire the android box alone via the power connector..

Hello Kevin,*

Since now we do not have your unit, we cannot figure out which part is wrong.

Guess this really means that support is going to be limited now with them bringing out the new unit.... In pretty much screwed here... Was going to look into a radio for my sister's mk4 jetta. With this news it will definitely NOT be a newsmy product.

I have yet to have time to try the adb hookup... Hopefully in the next week or so I can try and see. My guess is something is messed up with the head unit that now can't even be fixed

I should of just stuck with the huifei unit... Least it's still working in my dad's car like it was on day one.

Using rkBatchTool firstly flash xdAuto 1.1.6c . It will come with TWRP. Then, install the 1.1.6c2 using TWRP.

[Android Head-Units] Grims:

You can use xdAuto's img file as described there. First downlad the img file from here:

then download the latest zip. First install img file with rkBatchTool. Then install zip with TWRP. I have done this procedure and it works.

Can I rename it to update.img and do it from the OS so it doesn't wipe everything? Or will that not update all the needed partitions?
