I tried Garmin Navigon app (played demo) with worked fine while bluetooth audio was playing, but it didn't duck as both audio sources were equal.

Sadly its 2:30am and to late to go 4 a drive to test with google maps (i need to be driving for nav to speak) so i will try tomorrow.

[MENTION=4173803]Bokomaru[/MENTION] I just tried the intent for the AVIN app to work on reverse, worked as expected, but when disengaging out of reverse the app seems to try and launch again (flicker on screen and pause in sound) and i need to touch the screen to exit the app. Also there does not seem to be an "exit Action" in tasker when using a "intent received" but i wondering is the same intent posted when the reverse signal is lost? will look into to more tomorrow. :good:

NU5002 in 2006 Expedition

[IMG="NU5002 in 2006 Expedition"]http://i.imgur.com/7w6ES6M.jpg[/IMG]

Got it installed in Wife's expedition. Not quite as clean around the sides as I'd like, might work on trying to fill in those gaps later. But overall a pretty decent fit.
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
it does not work !!!!

someone can confirm that the nu5002 carries a built-in IR port ??

I tested five remote controls and none work.

I connected a USB IR port, and does not work, keyboard editor does not recognize any buttons

I do not know what to do
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
The NU3001 has resistive buttons on the right and a thicker bezel. Perhaps the IR-receiver is placed there. I can't see the actual IR eye, not even when I shine a bright light on the bezel, but it must be there....
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I'm pretty sure that NU5002 does not have a built in IR port. However, on the AUX harness there are TX & RX wires which I believe (but not tested) might be the serial lines for a receiver. One would probably need to take an IR eye (extender would work good here) and connect to those wires and test.

The USB receiver is not going to work with the Key Editor. The Key editor is designed to capture events from the MCU (SWC, Panel buttons, etc).
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
Yes, in the wiring, apart from wheel key1 , wheel key 2 and key-gnd, also has, TXD green and RXD green and yellow,

these cables would be to connect a receiver IR?

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

I found a 2-pin IR receiver, would serve?

There are 2 models

1: 850nm 5mm

2: 940nm 5mm

The NU3001 also has these TXD and RXD lines.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
The 3001 has it on the Android box, straight across from the green power led. See ths photo from the wiki, it's the black thing on the bottom right corner:

[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
No. You probably need something more like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Infrared-Rece...31823393&sr=1-2&keywords=ir+receiver+extender

And even at that, I'm only guessing. I don't know for certain that what the TX/RX lines are for.

Umm, Huh? The Android box is the same for all of these units. and IR is obviously line of site. So, if you put the android box in the glove box, etc. How is IR going to work?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
Um, drill a hole in your glovebox to let the light in? :D

I didn't say it was good design, but it is what they did :)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Fair enough :)
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Nice job mate, any Dremel action involved?

Man The reflection off these unit are shocking, I have tried several screen protectors.

Even asked summer if there were any upgrades, no luck. I read somewhere that putting the protector on both sides help alot ( bit doubtful about that)
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I'm trying out a Targus iPad one from Officeworks at the moment.

It's helped a bit in the midday sun here. They also have the glass ones available but I figured they would be too hard to cut down.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Thanks... like I said I tried a few and they all help slightly but not enough. Sometimes it's impossible to see the screen. I had a parrot asteroid smart before this and it was never near as bad.

Now the glass one sounds interesting.... is It a replacement glass or just a cover?
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
It's a glass version of a screen protector. It's applied the same way and supposedly has the same effects as a plastic one but is clearer and feels more like the original screen.

I doubt you'll find one in a size to fit our device though, all the ones i've seen are iPad and Galaxy tablet sized.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
I use bt to stream almost every time I'm in my car. I'll update to the latest and see what happens. I don't use avin just due to how it doesn't minimize to the background. Of that could be fixed that would be great lol ;)

Would it be possible to have a on & off switch for the ducking service for the various apps?
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Ok, i have tested both the AVIN and BT Audio during Google Nav, everything worked as expected, only thing is the audio is not "ducked" (lowering music to here nav direction? if i'm correct). Although i have no problem hearing the NAV during audio but i don't think its working as you want it to be.

Let me know if ya need more testing.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Yeah I never really had an issue hearing nav guidance. Once I read on here that bt & radio had their own separate audio adjustment I just slightly lowered each app so nav could be heard over it.

Ducking is a nice feature tho, not sure if I'll like having it turning on and off bt as my crappy expensive SIRIUS xm lynx Android radio doesn't like to always pair up properly to the hu. I tend to fight with it e or 4 times before it will sync and transmit audio correctly. Wish there was a cfw for that unit lol. If avin was made to run in the background id likely go back to using that vs the bt function it has
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Well, it certainly LOOKS like an IR eye, but it doesn't respond to anything. On my test setup the Head Unit is placed on my desktop and the box beneath it, way out of sight. I've aimed my remote(s) at every direction on the box but no show. The moment I aim on the HU, it immediately responds.

Perhaps the IR-Eye on the box is only activated when used without the HU. For instance powered separately connected to a TV. I haven't tested that yet . If you own a NU3001, the whole you drilled was probably not necessary....
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Reverse Camera

Regarding the reverse camera. I've searched the forum and Wiki and couldn't find a definitive answer.

I have tested the reverse camera attached to [Back Video IN] and the camera + to [V. Con 12 V].

The [V. Con 12 V] initially has no voltage output. It gets 12V when I start the BackDraft app and a camera image is shown.

To recap:

What app is used (BackDraft, AvIn, VideoIn2)

What needs to be connected ([REVERSE] or [V .CON 12V]}

To display the reverse camera feed the moment you put the car in reverse or isn't it displayed at all?

Also the camera comes with a white cinch audio connector. Does this needs to be connected to the [Aux IN L] and is this used for vicinity beeps?
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
The camera power does not come from the H/U power needs to be from the 12v wire on your reverse light at rear of vehicle. That same wire also needs to be connected to the "reverse" on the H/U, when that wire recieves 12v it turns on the reverse picture on the HU.

The white cable on the camera is indeed audio, but the default reverse app does not allow for sound. This has been discussed a few pages back, to allow for sound you need to use the AVIN app but this does start automatically when in reverse. To do so you need to setup tasker to open AVIN when reverse is selected.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
I hope no-one took that seriously and cut up their dash... :o

Looking back through this thread again (there is a lot here these days!) there is something near the top left in the pics here on post #2135

If that is another IR receiver, it's in the top left corner of the 3001, right under the power button.
[Android Head-Units] alicepattinson:
Thanks for sharing these, I will definitely try it. :)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes, considerable dremeling of the opening. Unfortunately, my initial cut ended up being a little too much, so I've got some 'daylight' on the sides. Depending on your OCD levels, it may or may not be a problem. While I do have some OCD twitches over this, I also know that nothing in any of my radio/media installs is static. I also have A.D.D. in this area, so It'll get ripped out and changed sooner or later.

If Newsmy comes out with a 10" Hi-Res option, I'll be screwed.

My ducking code is not in any public builds yet. It was just me testing some methods. However, it appears I'm having issues on my personal unit. That's why I was asking for others results. I've since put my other NU5002 in the wife's ride, and it seems to be working fine. Definitely something going on with mine.

I do not have a plan to offer on/off for ducking. The solution to that would be to turn on/off guidance/notifications. The current plan is to not turn bluetooth on/off, but rather issue a 'pause()', and then 'play()' to the bluetooth channel. Note there are options for me to send Volume +/- commands to that channel instead, but it doesn't appear that I can currently read the volume level (at least not within the existing Newsmy framework). Thus, I could say 'Volume down 4 times', then Volume up 4 times. But if your Volume was less than 4 to start with, It'll slowly increase your volume until you hit that level.
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Get yourself some of this stuff sculpt it then it hardens then you can sand smooth and paint.

10" sounds good.... Once you get use to the extra real estate it's hard to go back
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
I found a IR of a TDT receiver, but to cut the cable, my surprise has been that has 3 wires, maybe one has to go to Key-GND?

I will do tests, and the results I will comment
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Not Key-GND. You'll screw up the resistive SWC if you do that. But probably just a ground in general. I'm not the electrical engineer, there are others here to do that, but my guess is that you have some sort of power (red), ground (black), and then Data (receive) (white). I seriously doubt either of those lines goes to TX as this is a receiver, not a transmitter.

Remember, I'm just guessing here, so if this doesn't work, don't blame me. Could probably use some guidance/advice from the more electrical types here.

Found this:
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
then I will try:

white = RDX (the data receiver)

red = USB positive (5V)

black = ground
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Need a little Audiophile guidance:

On my Sierra, the sub/amp are integrated and take speaker-level outs. The lack of a sub out put didn't effect me. In the wife's Expedition, the sub output is separate. Of course I connected it to the Aux out lines, and it 'works', but my sub is playing everything coming from left front channel. It's not awful, but it makes tweaking balance impossible. Not to mention that the sub is louder than the other speakers, so things like BT calls, nav guidance all sound like somebody is behind you :)

I think the solution to this will be to put a low pass filter on the sub output. It won't solve all my balance issues, but it'll help. I found this:

http://www.amazon.com/FMOD-Crossove...867984&sr=8-2&keywords=low+pass+crossover+RCA

My question is, what frequency should I shoot for. This isn't a 'boom-boom' custom system, it's just a stock setup 2006 Expedition E.B. The sub has decent enough thump for me.
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Thanks! I was looking for that picture. It's definitely the location of the IR receiver. Not visible from the outside (most are). If blocked by tape, the remote stops responding

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

A few questions, though. Just to make sure:

On the audio question you mentioned "AvIn". Does that mean the reverse camera needs to be connected to [Aux In Video] and not [Back Video IN]?

Is the "BackDraft" app started when in reverse or "AvIN " or "VideoIn2". Or is does it depend on which connector the camera is attached?

The [V. CON 12V]

does

pass trough 12V when the BackDraft app is started. What's its purpose then?

I will set up tasker
[Android Head-Units] Danny.69:
nothing, it did not work nothing of what I've tasted
[Android Head-Units] wacko37:
Ok, i think the confusion is the when you use the "Back Video in" it is not using any app or android box for that matter. When you cold start the car and hit reverse the video feed comes up even when the android box is still booting. It is a direct feed to the HU which is then displayed.

Now power wise for the camera, tapping into the reverse light +12v is ideal as you then do not need to run another wire from the camera to the HU.

I am in the same predicament as yourself with the audio. I just hook up my camera the other day with the intention that AUX In was used for camera audio which it wasn't, so i will explain my setup at present and hope it help you.

Camera - Video source is connected to the "Back Video in" this is because i reverse out of the garage every morning and a cant wait for the android box to boot

- Audio is connected to "AUX IN" which is linked to the AvIn app

Reverse Signal - i have ran a wire (with camera video and audio) to my HU which is connected to my reverse light 12v - which is then connect to "reverse" on HU and also the camera for power

Tasker - Thanks to Bokomaru he has setup - Added REVERSE sensing keyinput and 'android.intent.action.KEYCODE_BONOVO_REVERSE' intent - see here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60761393&postcount=4652

- i have setup a task with "intent receive" which then opens the AvIn app if reverse is selected

Now what happens is "back video In" overrides everything else, so when i hit reverse "Back Video in" is displayed then in the background AvIn is opened which allows sound from the mic to be heard. Now if i tap the screen the "Back Video in" will still be displayed without interruption but the AvIn app will close in the background (like it would normally if you opened it on its own) so this acts like a mute button if in reverse.

The only problem im having now is when i dis-select reverse that same "intent" is picked up by tasker and the AvIn app seems to relaunch so i then have to tap the screen to close AvIn.

I am hope that Bokomaru will be able to setup different code which senses when reverse is disconnected so i can then setup tasker to close AvIn.

Hope this all makes sense

Installed xdAuto ROM 1.1.6b2 and MCU v.40.

All is well, but i have a few questions.

1. If i click on the icon headphones in navibar, the list of multimedia programs, a radio, bluetooth, but why is not there Poweramp? (He is installed from play market).

2. In the same list, if I check always used radio, then later again, the system prompts that always use the radio or bluetooth.

That is, a check mark is not saved.

3. Is it possible to add to the settings, the ability to completely disable the notification bar and navibar?

(My model NU5261S-H-H0 with physical buttons, so for me there is no need for the notification bar and navibar).
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
1) - Poweramp does not have the intent filter CATEGORY_APP_MUSIC in their manifest. Please notify developer & ask if they could update their manifest.

2) I have not had this issue. Be certain you are not 'long pressing' the music button. Long press always presents chooser. Short press should launch your default. If it's not saving, then it might be an issue with saving default intents somewhere.

3) You can try Immersive mode (Settings -> User Interface) but it's not behaving well with some apps. Other choice is to install Xposed & Gravity Box and use Expanded Desktop mode.
[Android Head-Units] Fedorych:
1) Ok, I'll write about it to the developer.

2) No, not a long press. Short press shouldn't launch my default.

I do not understand then what could be the problem.

3) I tried Immersive mode, but still it does not suit me. Ok, I'll try Gravity Box.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
1) Let me know if he agrees. I prefer PowerAmp as well and don't use it on my radio for this very reason. While Android doesn't have a 'standard' for this intent, it is published on their developer site as the preferred method. It's an easy change for them to make and would bring them more in line with Android convention.

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#CATEGORY_APP_MUSIC

2) You should probably upgrade to 1.1.6c. I think b version had some file system issues, could be the root of the problem.

3) Yea, I'm not happy with Immersive mode yet either. I use Gravity Box, but I might try to fix Immersive mode at some point.
[Android Head-Units] Fedorych:
1) Here's what he said.

2) Where 1.1.6c can be downloaded?

3) I hope you can do it)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
1) That's disappointing.

2) http://xfer.aokp.co/?developer=zaphod&folder=nu3001
[Android Head-Units] Fedorych:
1) I, too.

2) But there is no 1.1.6

с

, Of course, I'll try 1.1.6b3.

But some say that it is slower than 1.1.6b2. So do not rush to install it.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
My Mistake. 1.1.6b3 is latest. I'm getting ahead of myself. :)

[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Do you think it will work with universal steering wheel remotes? I have seen a couple that use IR. I'm not sure if i use bluetooth ones if it will interfere with OBD and Phone teethering :/

I was also considering getting the Sony RMX4S but it looks a bit expensive for something that has been discontinued. And I do not even know where to connect it :(
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I'm not sure, I just know that the wires for SWC are for resistive controls.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

80-100 HZ is usually where most systems crossover to the sub. I'm guessing the sub is factory installed so it doesn't have any controls of it's own? You may also want to consider an in-line RCA volume control so you can turn down the input to the sub.

When you connected the sub did you connect to both the left and right channel or just the left?
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Thanks, man. This clarifies a lot.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Sorry for being a noob but are those the OEM steering controls? Any idea how i can get my hands on a kit?

[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Generally yes, but I think there are aftermarket solutions available. I haven't bought any myself since my car came with controls.
[Android Head-Units] pawcu:
Darn it... Haha ok back to more countless hours of Googling then. Thanks anyways :)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Yes, Factory Sub.

My A/M harness has L&R for sub, so I hooked them both up, but it sounds like only left channel is being used
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Weird, it could be that only the left connector is physically connected to the sub. You could try to disconnect the left channel and see if you still get sound.

There are two sets of commands that can get sent from android to the hu, one sets the mux type analog only, digital only, or both and then there is the one to select which input to use. I have an idea to add a dev menu on the mcu app to manually change these modes.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

The intent is basically a toggle. So it gets sent on any change. Your Tasker setup needs to take this into consideration and set a variable when its received to keep track of the state. Then when it switches to "reverse off" you should be able to have tasker close the AVIN app

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

I'm pretty certain those txd and rxd are for debugging to the HU processor without having to open up the HU. I followed the traces a while back and they also went to the internal connector.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

I highly doubt it is noticeably slower than any other version. Maybe of you are playing some highly processor intensive games on the unit you would notice it, but even then I doubt it. I would like to hear if anyone that was having stability issues is still having them.

Universal Car Home Amplifier Controller RCA Gain Level Volume Control Knob Bass
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
How well does it work? How would one use it with the controls that the amp already has on it? My amp only has remote bass control. Would be nice to have remote gain / frequency instead...

Just upgraded to xdauto. Let the fun begin :)
[Android Head-Units] f(x):
It works great since my factory sub amp doesn't have gain control, and I can do some fine turning right next to the hu. I suppose you could still use it along with the control on your amp since it is connected in series. You will just have to play around with the combined settings to get the sound you like.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Well just played around with xdauto. Runs nice so far! Only problem is the navigation bar is throwing resolution errors with Igo :( even with immerse mode activated it I still detects and throws the error. So sadly looks like I may have to disable that feature as I like to use igo over sygic. Wish they would make igo not so dependent on specific skins needing to be used and just auto adapt to resolution scales

Thanks for the reply and hope ya had a good weekend.

Regards to the "Variable" needed in tasker to close the AvIn app, i have been at this all day:( and goggled for hrs but sadly to no avail.

Basically what i have done so far is setup a profile which uses "intent receive" to pickup your camera code when it comes on, this work fine as said before.

1st task "launch App" which opens the AvIn app. I also set "data" to "%ToogleAvIn" (which is my variable that i setup) and finally "IF" - "%ToogleAvIn" = 0

2nd task i have setup as " variable Add" i named it "%ToggleAvIn" (which is global use i believe) then set "value" to 1 and "wrap around" to 2

3rd task "kill App" which kills AVIN app, i also set "IF" - "%ToogleAvIn" = 0

This is all new to me so i may not even be close to having this setup right, all help is greatly appreciated

Thanks
