Not sure why you wouldn't listen to the radio in Idaho Falls; you've got Z-103 and a million country stations. What more could you want? :rolleyes:
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Good point, that may be best for all option.

Uhg, don't get me started on the million country stations...stupid Southeast Idaho radio...

Also, Wiki updated for new MCU v33
[Android Head-Units] DaveSmith_1:
I agree, though let's wait until I order mine to make that move!
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
Now THAT was funny!
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
thanks for the upload renedis. there is no burn_mcu.hex file in the update. do we need the burn_mcu.hex file for v33 for the update setting app?
[Android Head-Units] :
Nope

I just installed with only update file on sd card.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Just place the bin file on your SD card and it will update. a hex file is not always needed.

NU5261

I have just bought the VW variant of this unit. Before I install in the vehicle, I wanted to upgrade it on the bench. I can't get the HU to power up using the supplied VW harnesses so I cannot update the MCU.

I have supplied +12V to Vacc and Vcon and grounded the black GND cable. I am using an ATX PSU.

The Android box works fine standalone with an external 12v PSU connected via mini-hdmi to my TV.

Anyone done this with the VW unit?

Also does the unit display any SatNav or audio information in the FIS display on the instrument cluster?

Many Thanks
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
Thanks guys. I now updated to v33 but still have the music playing after car is off. I'm still using rom 1.1.2 though. Is 1.1.3 required to fix this? I have very limited download quota left for this month so hesitant to blow 300mb in a day with no result.
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
I've also updated and using 1.1.3 no soft button rom and the music is still playing for me as well.
[Android Head-Units] androproject:
hi all, because yesterday I install my whole nu3001 and have a question.

you can not turn off your computer completely?

it stays plugged android box with green LED
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
It stays on for 2 hrs after the ignition is turned off for an immediate start if starting the car again. I don't believe you can force a power off.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

I think Vcon is for the speed sense. You need to find the proper +12V wire which is yellow i think. Check out the wiki. Also you may need to trick the ATX psu into starting as there is a sense connection I believe.

i have a problem with third party players. when i switch off my car and come back during 2h standby time, the player will not work no more. the radio is working. Anybody else has this issue? I am using renedis rom 1.1.3.
[Android Head-Units] Armar2:
I had a similar problem that was caused by damaged SD Card. I just replaced it with a new one and the problem was resolved.

Check if the players can work with files on the internal storage, the on the external one.

where you can download the mcu v33?
[Android Head-Units] gregspam:
Audio - no.

Sat Nav - no also. This would be quite hard to achieve as a generic retrofit for nav apps as I believe the VW DIS nav display is tightly coupled to the nav software on the OEM headunit.

It needs power on the yellow and red wires and ground on the black wires

Check here for more info http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001#Hardware_and_Cables

Then you need an app to completely power down android. I'm don't know of a specific app off the top of my head.

There is also power drain info in the FAQ section in the wiki http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001#FAQs

I also had a chance to use the Mini-HDMI while connected to the Head Unit. Seems that the sound will only come out of the HDMI for me. I will have to test this more.

is there a way to get google now to work from any screen saying "ok google" and no im not talking about mic. I want to be able to say "ok google" from anyscreen im on like some can do on their phones
[Android Head-Units] JayG30:
I have a few more questions.

How is the overall functionality of hands free calling? This is one of the reasons I need a new radio. When a call comes through does it ring correctly and lower other volumes regardless of if you are in the Radio, youtube, netflix, android music players, navigation? It looks like it comes with both internal and external mic? Are they any good? I see some discussion of USB mic which will allow Google Now, so I might just go that route because I'd love to use "Ok Google" features.

How is the radio app. From what I understand this is something that is really "tied" to the device you get since it is in the MCU.

How well does it handle things like having Navigation running while listening to the Radio? Will it fade the radio for the Navigation and bring it back after?

Since this uses an Android box, anyone have dimensions on it? Where are most people putting it? Behind the dash? Glove box? Under a seat? Is it something that you would want to have easy access to?

I'm pretty much looking at this and the Ca-Fi Dashlinq4. Then waiting to see how the new decides turn out from Pioneer (Android Auto) and the new Parrot with Android 5 and Android Auto. I think I'm starting to lean towards this unit because of the community support and active development, however it seems like the Ca-Fi "just works". And it has some nice features like adjustable shut off times, already functioning RDS, and I know the radio/Android integration works as expected for things like navigation/phone call interruptions. I'm seriously considering buying this or the Ca-Fi in the next few days. If anyone has one and decided they don't want it let me know.
[Android Head-Units] :
I was looking at the dashlinq 4 and yea it looks nice but i decided to get this instead and i been happy with my purchase and save a few bucks.

1. so far when i get a call i cuts off all audio and plays my ringtone through the speakers and shows the name or number of caller on the whole screen. And yes you can answer from the screen. Also it only has external mic (that is what summer told me) and when i got mine the mic that came with it was defective so i had to use one from the stereo place but they one they sold me works perfectly. And i use the Logitech c270 webcam so i get both usb mic and a camera that i use as an ondash camera.

2. the radio app is descent it just like a stock radio app you can save i think 9 stations and even give the short nicknames. I rarely use the radio app so can't give you in depth details

3. I use here navigation and a third party music player so i don't know about radio, but when navigation comes on it pauses my music player and starts it back up after it finish giving directions.

4. I dont know the dimensions but i keep mine in the glove department for easy access and i wouldn't recommend putting it anywhere you cant access it easily.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I have yet to try the hands-free calling using the mic, I forced my phone to use the mic on the phone for calls. It muted Google Music while I was on the call. I'm pretty sure it didn't pause, just muted. I will have to check again once I get the chance. The built in mic and the external mic are not passed through to Android, so you would need a USB mic.

The radio app works really well, there seems to be a button alignment bug when you hide the softkeys/nav bar on the bottom. One issue others are hacing is that RDS currently doesn't work. You can manually re-name saved stations though.

I haven't used the radio much, so I can't answer this. Navigation apps do, however, mute other Android apps.

I just measured the Android box and it's 5 1/2" L x 3 3/16" W x 3/4" H. I keep mine in the glove box so I can access the USB port and SD card. It's only connection to the Head Unit is a Firewire cable.

Also note that I'm still on v1.0.9

I looked up the Ca-Fi Dashlinq4 at: http://ca-fi.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=133_134&product_id=285

That Ca-Fi Dashlinq4 does seem like the software has had a bit more development time than the Newsmy, it "looks" better and will probably "just work". The SWC key config and the bluetooth app look nicer. Keep in mind you are getting mostly a stock Android interface with the Newsmy.

It also has RCA video out where the Newsmy does not (however it does have HDMI out on the Android box).

The Ca-Fi may also have more pre-outs (rear/sub), as the Newsmy only has front L/R pre-outs.

The Newsmy has more RAM available, a faster CPU, and a newer version of Android (4.4.2 vs 4.1.1).

The Newsmy is also rootable, and we have the source to the v1.0.9 ROM.

The point is that the Newsmy is perfect for someone that want's to tweak their stereo and is patient while the software is developed. The Newsmy may seem behind, but it's potential is higher.
[Android Head-Units] :
?!? Internal mic

So my mic that was sent to me from summer was dead so while having a converstation with her about that i was told it does not have an internal mic. So is there proof that there is an internal mic?
[Android Head-Units] JayG30:
It sounds like from the wiki that navigation doesn't reduce volume of radio.

Bit disappointing.

And if the external supplied mic (or internal if it has one) isn't available to Android then what good is it? Your phone would be connected using bluetooth through Android for hands free calling right? If the supplied mic doesn't work they shouldn't bother including it. They should just include a functional USB style mic. If this is the case that is a major oversight IMO. You sort of want hands free calling in a head unit in 2015...
[Android Head-Units] :
The external mic is for the bluetooth app that syncs to phone so mic is only good for bluetooth phone calling ( sorry don't know how to word that better)
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I took some photos of the LEDs and it looks like there is a mic at the bottom of the circuit board

ftp://83.85.112.174/NU3001/9. Pictures of internals/IMG_20150114_210248.jpg

Yeah, it is a bit disappointing. The mic only works with phone calls.

There are 2 Bluetooth radios, one in the Head Unit, the other for Android. There is a separate Bluetooth app for making connections to the phone and controls hands-free calling. Other Bluetooth devices for use with Android is in the usual place (Settings > Bluetooth).
[Android Head-Units] :
if thats true summer lied to me so i wouldn't leave a bad review:crying:
[Android Head-Units] JayG30:
So if I understand correctly, your phone is connected to the BT module that is not visible to Android. And it doesn't support any "voice dialing" or "voice notification". So you would pull up the dialer on the screen and enter the phone number. Sound Correct? Does it sync the contacts from your phone?

I have a Nexus 5 with lollipop. Could I use Google Now to have my phone initiate the call perhaps, and the sound would just go through the speakers? Google Now doesn't have a "answer/decline" for incoming calls so would still have to manually do that (they really need to add this) or have SWC.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Correct.

It does sync contacts, but last I heard it was buggy and it was best to use the Contacts app in Android to handle the contact sync.

Yeah, you would still be able to use Google Now via the HU over Bluetooth. I *think* you have to enable "Bluetooth headset" in Google Now Voice Settings.
[Android Head-Units] JayG30:
So the contacts app in Android is available to the BT phone app?
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Reverse that, the BT phone app is available to the contacts app.

At least, I think this is the case. I need to take another look at my setup...

I do not get it done to edit the background widgets and the darker overlay to put the text on, for example...

the yellow one looks transparent instead of full colored yellow and I'm not able to add a darker overlay on it.

I'm trying to get into the TomTom GPS problem. I have some GPS settings compared to my Samsung S4

On the S4 there is system/etc/gps.conf this is not on the NU3001.

Also try to put some extra lines in the build.prop

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast

ro.kernel.android.gps=ttyUSB3

ro.kernel.android.gps.speed=9600

I guess I don't have enough Linux experience :confused:

I read in another forum something about the GPS HAL, maybe someone understand here what they did?
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
The black and yellow dosent have ThE darked overlay as i leave this two tiles for artcover and extra widget.

I can prepare a background image to use all tiles with icons.

[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
aaah thats why I didn't manage :)

Yes If you will prepare 3 backgrounds with colored tiles It would we be very nice and easy to use for more programs.

Thank You!!
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Theres no point, it wont work because the HuiFei has a different MCU and radio IC.

What you could do is decompile the radio apk from the Newsmy unit, decompile the radio apk from the HuiFei unit and then use the xml from the HuiFei radio apk in the Newsmy radio apk so it looks like the HuiFei one.

It's not bad for the price but I'm trying to find any information I can because it has this annoying defect that No sound comes from the unit unless I stick a needle in the resest button every time I turn the car off and on. I have 4 days left to file a dispute with aliexpress so I can exhange without issue. I have been in contact with support and they are asking me what the MCU number is on the device? I have no idea what that is and where to find it. I searched in Settings/About and couldn't find it there. Any help please? Thank you.

Was looking at the Rockchip Factory Firmware tool over the weekend as was posted here a while back to see about replacing the boot logo / animation.

A few points/questions;

1. Is there another easier/quicker way to replace the boot logo and animation?

2. What format does the original image has to be in as when I imported the boot logo in that tool it looked awful.

3. The tool reports there is no boot animation in the image, yet there clearly is. So where is it?

4. Anybody got any packages or existing gimp/other projects to help make a nice boot animation? I was thinking about the manufacturers logo and then adding some animated part to the side as it would be tricky to animate the logo itself.
