Did these real quick. Probably difficult to determine the measurements the way I did this. I'll try to get better measurements soon.

Overall it looks to be pretty solid, with the exception of spot on the bottom edge of the screen. Looks like there is an opening for a ribbon cable that is just taped over. Will have to be careful with that area.

The good news is that the mounting brackets will screw off easily to attach the brackets I need for my setup. (will have to remove warranty stickers though :p))

[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Well.. if your tearing the warranty stickers anyway,do you feel like doing the teardown on the android box and h/u for this one so we can check compatibility? When you get a chance :D
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yea, I don't mind. Probably be this weekend before I can get into that detail though.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
Looking at the pic with the front measurement, it doesn't look like it's 193.9mm, but a standard 178mm.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I just double checked, it's 7 5/8" Wide. = 193 mm
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
It also looks like there are not a lot of holes to screw on other mounting brackets (e.g like the one I took off my car radio to install a universal one) to adjust how far in or out the unit should be.

Zhu certainly is a man of few words but I have just today gotten official approval to integrate viper into Amplified!!!
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
The unit looks like a 7 inch version with just a bigger front plate/screen. I bet if you remove the side brackets (that void warranty) you will find out that the mounting holes are the same as a doubledin

I hope that is true.....

You are the best.
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
I'm more worried about the amount of holes the unit has. It doesn't look like there are a lot holes in order to add other brackets (e.g like the one I took off my car radio to install a universal one) to adjust how far in or out the unit should be with respect to the dashboard.

BTW, what's up with the warranty stickers over the brackets anyway? What car model are these brackets supposed to fit anyway.? Isn't it supposed to be a universal 2-Din?
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
From the spec sheet, looks like this unit comes with windows CE?

If you go to the 4:46 time, you will see the NU3001 side with all the holes, does the 8 inch version have all of those holes?
[Android Head-Units] jpapadami:
That's exactly my problem. I don't see any of these holes from the NU3001 on the 8" unit which worries me. I was wondering why the unit is sold as a Tiggo. Well, here you go. It's for a Chery TIggo. Never heard of it before.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I added two more photos to the album

http://imgur.com/a/ipQTQ

Last two have the brackets removed.

This is not supposed to be a universal. It's vehicle specific for a Chery Tiggo. However, I am taking a gamble that it's close enough to fit into my double din slot, with some trimming of the dash bezel to accomodate the larger screen.

I won't have time to actually test fit this until at least this weekend, maybe longer.

But for those that are considering this over the 7", be aware that there is no way it will fit into a standard double din slot without modification. I'm just not afraid to cut my dash up, and I've got a dremel to prove it. :)
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
I dont know why they didn't use the same casing....its basically the same unit with bigger front screen. They are limiting their sales number by making that change.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

I wish I have not install my unit yet to do some comparison measurements, this would help anyone deciding between the two units. Its looking more and more like I'm keeping the NU3001 :D

Don't we already have screen mirroring native?

[Android Head-Units] -=Jeff=-:
Below is the UI/Launcher I am using (http://www.autosense.com). It looks like Centrafuse and has a bunch of features. The developer has created a Shield to work with a Arduino DUE that connects to the unit. I am working on getting the arduino installed with the shield. Nice thing is the Shield has the communication to the Directed HD Tuner (DMHD1000) so you get the HD (if you want it) I had this tuner with my Nexus 7 set-up. There is also IO and temperature on the shield.

Oh yeah the developer even added intent controls for the volume and mute so this work system wide (you fill in your custom Intent)

Outside temp sensor is not connected that is why there is a crazy outside reading
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:
It is a native settings option.... However I can't get my phone and the android box to see each other. I haven't tried it on the stock ROM(which is pictured in the video you linked) but on XDAuto I've not been able to cast screen from phone to headunit(phone is LG G4 running CM12.1)

I've been trying go find a "castreceiver.apk" that will work for passengers in me car that want to cast music/video from their phone to the headunit. But I have been unsuccessful in getting it to work, either by this native screen cast or with side loading a castreceiver.apk

This is essentially the final feature I'd like my NU3001 to be capable of. Is the easiest method for my passengers to share media from all the cast enabled apps they would have on their stock unrooted phones.

Official Feature Request!!!:

Can we confirm if anybody is successful in using the screen cast with their newsmy headunit running XDAuto.... And if not, can we find a working option for the android box to work as a cast receiver? Or as the original poster showed in a picture, MirrorLink capability.

MCU version

Hi

Can anyone please check their MCU version, for this specific setting "RGB Camera"?

I haven't seen it in any of the MCU version i have tried, and my rear view camera is outputting RGB.

The inputs of the extra cable we can buy for the Newsmy NR 5261 is RCA, and therefore i get a black and white flickering picture, instead of the colour and flicker-free picture i'm supposed to get :)

So if someone has this setting, i'd like to know the MCU version.

(and if it isn't on Zaphod-BeebleBrox's website, i would also like to know where to download it, besides Baidu!)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Pretty sure I've seen that. I just uploaded the most recent test MCU (V101 - it was written for RDS testing). I've loaded it on my box and don't have any issues with it, but it's clearly not meant for production ... use at your own risk.

Hi I am thinking of buying a NU3001 for my Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2012, but wanted to know that I would need wires to use the steering wheel controls.

Currently I have a Parrot Asteroid Smart and use the steering wheel with CONNECTS2.

I have these cables:

-CTSAR004.2 (Car Specific Steering Wheel Control Interfaces> for Alfa Romeo) -CTASTEROIDLEAD

Do not know if any of those wires would be worth me for NU3001
[Android Head-Units] B-Hard:
You can but you will not get a good bass on every song.

With my setup (lightning audio amp with Alpine swr 1222D) at some songs the bass is too loud or too low.

Can't fix that with Viper Settings.

Someone suggested to use an low pass filter between amp and Hu but haven't investigated further in that.

Hi, I have a question. If you play the music from mobile with bluetooth, it show the song's name in the screen? I have the 1.3.5 firm and only can change song, play and stop without song name.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
The stock rom does not have that capacity. [MENTION=6472486]leonkernan[/MENTION] added that capability to the xdAuto ROM (http://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/xdauto-rom-newsmy-carpad-t3266694)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Note that the Bluetooth playback in xdAuto should appear in Automate now, you'll just need to start playback from your phone or the Bluetooth app first.

There is supposed to be a menu item for Bluetooth in the latest Automate, but I have a feeling I either gave him the incorrect app details or there is something missing at the xdAuto side still.
[Android Head-Units] mureren71:
Well, i updated from MCU v52 to v101, and the RGB camera option isn't in any of them :(

Has anyone else here seen this option, and knows which MCU version it is in?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Your picture is from the Stock Rom and not xdAuto. MCU firmware might make the option workable or not, but it won't change the UI/settings. That's a function of the UpdateSettings app. That might be something they've added to Stock that we haven't gotten yet.
[Android Head-Units] mureren71:
Damn :crying:

I haven't got the skills to find out where this "option setting" is located in Android file system or what it should be changed to (YES/NO, 0/1 or something probably), so maybe i will just have to live with it until it, maybe, one day gets included in xdAuto

If the MCU update to v52 or v101 in fact is making this function workable, but not presented in the xdAuto UI/Settings, is it then difficult to locate/change this function in the android file system, presuming one has access to a unit with stock rom?
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
It's not going to be a setting in Android somewhere. This will be part of the mythical communication between Android and the MCU. Theoretically you could pull the MCU update app from the stock rom and sideload it onto xdAuto and you might get the option. But we've made enhancements to the settings app that you would then lose. For example, our stand-by timers actually work :)

Figuring this out without their most recent source code will be difficult. A lot of things we can work around, or simply code in our fashion, but MCU communication is not documented anywhere. We need their code to find the right commands to send, etc.
[Android Head-Units] zeroprobe:
Can you not copy BonovoMCU.apk from the stock rom into XDauto if you want that option?
[Android Head-Units] mureren71:
I don't know....can i?

If yes, i assume this should be done with Firmware Factory tool, and then the resulting "custom" img. file must be flashed again via RK Batchtool?
[Android Head-Units] Kasush:
No, you would simply use a root file explorer and copy the file to the same place as the existing file then restart.
[Android Head-Units] zeroprobe:
The file is in /system/app

The file permissions may need setting also once you have copied it.
[Android Head-Units] ElfinJNoty:

[Android Head-Units] mureren71:
I must be mentally challenged, i can't get this done! :rolleyes:

On a Windows 10 pc i:

Download the stock ROM (tried 3 different versions), and get a folder with an .img file. File size is approximarley 810 MB

With 7-zip i open the .img file, where there is 2 folders, "dev" and "root".

Only one of them contains anything, the "dev" folder has a file called "console" in it, with a size of 0 bytes. "Root" folder appears empty.

I can not extract anything from the "console" file.

If i open the .img file with Rockchip Firmware Factory Tool, it opens fine, and i can see the BonovoMCU.apk, but can't find a way to extract/copy it from the image to my Windows pc :o

Any help would be appreciated :fingers-crossed:

hi there i just bought the NR3001... may i know how do i power it up to do the necessary configurations before i install it into my car? is there an adaptor i can buy some where?
[Android Head-Units] e.sjolund:
Just grab an old ATX computer supply and use the 12 volt rail to power the unit. Both the Yellow and the Red wire need to be connected to 12v+, black is ground (-). If you don´t got an old computer supply use an adapter, 12v and 3A. You could probably use a 1A adapter (not tested), but that won´t be sufficient if you want to test the audio etc. Most preferably is 12v 10 A. Most ATX computer supplies can easily capable of 10A.
[Android Head-Units] mureren71:
You can use a 240V to 12Vpower adaptor, something like 1-2 amp output. Just cut off the plug, strip the wires, and twist it together with the yellow 12V+ and red ignition wire from the harness. Black to ground!
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
Well you basically only need an external 12 V DC power supply if you want to test basic things. NU3001 can be operated without headbunit via hdmi mini to tv even guess that is not the cawe for nr model.

[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
I've been able to reproduce this problem 100% since updating to 1.16d and MCU 41. I never had it on Tuatara's ROM. It occurs if I turn off the car while the Radio Paradise app is playing from cache. If I pause RP before turning off the car, it comes back just fine when I start the car again. But if it's playing, the unit comes back with a horizontal line every time. A long push on the power button will of course reboot and all is well again.

This doesn't happen with any other music player, only RP. And RP doesn't do that on any other hardware, nor did it on Tuatara's old ROM. I've got standby set for half a day and airplane mode set for two hours.

Hi everybody,

I own a Peugeot 207 and I changed the original RD4 Radio for a NR3001 CarPad

I also bought a Canbus Decoder Peugeot 207 DS-PG007.2 with Patch Lead CTBOSSLEAD Chinese Units (Steering Wheel Stalk Control Interface Adaptor) and a Peugeot 207 Double Din Fascia Plates.

I see 2 issues:

- I have a pack JBL audio in my 207 (car option amplifier & subwoofer in car trunk) and I no longer hear the subwoofer since I changed the car radio. I don't use the 5.1 output cable but the standard power/speaker interface, is this a low-level output?

- I have the opposite effect about the illumination feature; the backlight is on by fault and off when I switch on my low/high beams headlights. There is a parameter in android to change or an hardware modification to do?

Regards

Hi, just wanted to ask, im using logitech c270 attached with the unit. When im record the video using road voyager, sometimes it keep on stuttering. Which im very annoyed. Can someone provide me with solutions. Here the sample video taken

https://youtu.be/ljfnQ6XmHb0
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
The speaker outputs are not low-level. You need the 5.1 output cable for low-level output.

The illumination wire is probably powered when the lights are off, I don't think there is a configuration setting to change how the CarPad reacts to this. You probably need to figure out how to toggle the behavior of your illumination wire.

Hi Guys,

Im about the buy the NR3001 and I have question, how is the call quality if you are using the hands free? Currently I have the parrot asteroid smart installed in my car and even though the model is outdated the hands free call quality is still great. I would like to hear your experiences. One question more I have read something about the sleep mode of this Android Head Unit and about car battery drainage, is this true?

Thanks in advance

Im planning to buy a NU3001. Im driving a 2004 Volkswagen Passat (european model). My car has no CAN-bus for the steering wheel remote, there is just a single cable for the remote (mini ISO connector, Pin 11). Does somebody know if this is working? Great thread btw.

Thanks guys ;)
[Android Head-Units] rendl:
Call quality of hands free is great for me on NU3001.

And yes there is a low power mode which gives you an instant on without waiting in both stock ROM and in xdauto. In stock I believe it is 2h and in xdauto configurable to up to 24h.

And what i liked most even ouside that low power mode when you have to cold boot the backdraft camera is separate meaning it ius instant on.

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I would suggest looking at the Wiki: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Newsmy_CarPad

It has some differences between the NU (Carpad II) and NR (Carpad III). The differences are subtle and are more preference based than pure 'this one is better because ...' Depends on what attributes are more important to you.

Both models are compatible with the xdAuto ROM (there is another thread where we discuss specifics of the ROM).

As for purchase, I would suggest contacting summer at Newsmy directly (her contact info should be on the Wiki). Make sure she knows you are coming to her via XDA.

She's been trying to give good pricing for XDA members, and we are also trying to show Newsmy how much XDA is driving their sales.

While we do have an older source code leak, we are at a bit of an impasse with them currently over getting more recent code. We are trying to fix RDS (as well as other things), and they are stone-walling us on MCU and Kernel code. Show them how important the XDA community is to their sales.

[Android Head-Units] orangekid:

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I don't think it's a matter of care. They simply don't understand. Summer is a sales person. She has been very helpful to us, but she's not technically oriented, nor does she have any real authority with the engineering & management departments.

There is also a pretty serious language barrier. I think all of our communications are run through Google (Baidu?) translators. You can only imagine how much detail gets lost doing that.
[Android Head-Units] orangekid:

How did you do that " install just boot.img from stock" ? I would be interested in instructions to fix that horizontal line as well.

I assume since we did not get the recent code yet from Newsmy that we cannot benefit from the kernel improvements in Xdauto for quite some time, right?

Has anyone heard from her lately regarding the pricing on the "new" H/U? I keep going back and forth deciding if I want to upgrade.

How many songs do you guys have on what kind of storage?

I'm asking because of the "stuttering / skipping music issue". It seems, that everytime android boots, the mediascanner indexes my whole music.

Thats about 7500 songs on a 64 GB USB2 stick. That takes a while. I think as long as it's indexing, the music isnt properly played.

Maybe I can disable automatical indexing? Disable mediascanner and trigger only if I added some more music?
