I'm having some serious issues with mine. Two of some of the most important things.

For one, I can't get "Ok Google" to work for the life of me. I tried everything under the sun. Sometimes it seems to pick up a word or two, but otherwise it's useless. I have a mic that came with it plugged into the back, and wired to just beside the headunit on my dash. Also, is there no way to have "Ok Google" to work from any screen? That setting doesn't seem to be available on Kitkit. Also kind of useless for a car if I have to press a button on the screen to turn "OK Google" on.

The other thing is, I have a 1TB hard drive plugged into it by USB, with about 200GB of music on it. Problem is, this device takes about 20 to 30 minutes just to load all my music on the hard drive. By that time, I'm at work, and is also useless to me. The worst part is, if I do end up driving for an extended period of time, it loads a bunch of music, and if I stop somewhere for even a second, and turn off my car, it has to load all the music all over again when I turn the car back on. The unit is not even shutting down, I'm not even booting it up every time I get in my car. I think I have it set for 2 days before it shuts down completely.

I haven't been able to find a solution to either of these problems. If I can't find a solution, I'd be looking for anybody who's interested in buying it. Comes with the harness and dash kit for a 2013 VW golf wagon. Not sure which other VW's it would work in. The harness should be the same for many models, the kit I'm not sure.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys,

Ok google only works with usb microphones not the plug in one it comes with.

As far as the hard drive, maybe the ither usb port and try changing the usb settings in the update app

Carpad4 2 or 3?
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
You want to try it?

Or someone want to try to update MCU apk ? ( to have RGB Light for rear camera )

xdauto contain an old version i guess ( 1.0 ), this apk is from last build 1.4.2 stock rom.

It's Carpad 2, with the xdAuto ROM. I've been reading through the forums, and I'm seeing a bunch of stuff regarding the Carpad killing power to USB when you shut off the car or it goes to sleep. Not sure if it has anything to do with my issue, but I'm still trying to figure it out. So far, I don't see a solution. I'm reading posts regarding powered USB hubs that I would have to wire in. I wonder if that would fix the issue. Seems like a lot of hoops to jump through just so it keeps the files on the hard drive cached. Luckily, i have a powered USB hub I can try it with, but I just don't have the time right now to get back into it.

[MENTION=7444347]Frankiefaithful[/MENTION]

i have carpad 3, about carpad 2 and ok google but also with carpad 3, you need another mic like this:

Parrot CK3000/3100 Microphone

And works very well with ok google. ( Need to be sure to have up to date Google Now Launcher )

About music is a pain and i have 64gb usb pen drive of music.

The solution are 2:

Or you set standby for long period, but i don't suggest it, because i don't know if battery car can be killed, is a risk, but maybe is possible without risks, needed someone that can confirm that.

Better way for now i guess is, use Poweramp and scan your drive.

So poweramp keep the list of files and download from playstore Startup Manager and you can disable at startup, Media Scan

So your drive with music at startup can't be scan from radio but poweramp have files list and you can listen the music.

About others files in drive, i guess that you can use it, for example from other apps, ES Manager in playstore.

Try it, best solution for this radio.

For now i fight with outcoming call and call name that doesn't show up, say no number :(

[Android Head-Units] Invidiousdemise:

[Android Head-Units] Frankiefaithful:
Thanks a lot. it did work, but with one minor adjustment. It seems no matter what, must music apps want to rescan the whole library. So like you said, I used Poweramp, but both Poweramp and ES file explorer would not find the hard drive, even though other music apps would scan it automatically. So I got USB OTG Helper, and had to mount the drive. After I mounted it, both ES File Explorer and Poweramp would see it. From there I could scan the library. Once the library is saved in Poweramp, I disabled media scanning with Startup Manager, and rebooted the device. Poweramp still keeps the meta information saved, but says files could not be found. So I figured out I had to mount the drive again with USB OTG Helper, and then it finally worked.

So it seems that every time I start the car, I need to mount the drive. Still not ideal, but now I don't have to wait 20 to 30 min for my whole library to scan.

Thank for your help.

I'm still not crazy about this device. It seems like not much really works without a tremendous amount of modifications and effort, but I guess that's what I signed up for.
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
post a photo of your drive.

I use a pendrive kingston 64gb travel, and works, i mean, is mounted when i start radio. ( i connected it in usb NOT otg )

I use OTG usb ONLY to update\upgrade rom.

note. of course when you start radio, i need to wait a mins or two, to have poweramp that recognize files into usb, maybe because android when started, mounted usb not immediately

[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
I recommend dropping the coin on a quality adapter. With it, you're able to use it on any cars with your phone! So you can leave it in your car, connected to the headunit most of the time, and pull it out to check your friend's car real quick wherever you are. I feel it's a great investment. Here's the brand I use

[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
i see that but is very expensive to see some infos in my NR3001.

With obd adapter i can use it with torque, but i can't use it for others purpose.
[Android Head-Units] RC54:
FYI...for anybody needing to get ahold of customer service at Newsmy right now, don't try and contact Summer. She's evidently on maternity leave, or something.

But, if you email Anna (anna@newsmy-car.com) she is very quick to respond. At least she was for me.

Good luck!

i'm trying to buy a blue transparent obd 2, i hope that will be works.

another question:

you know which adapter needed for steering control?

I have an alfa romeo mito and on stock radio, steering control are via canbus.

I need an adapter and how can i connect him to the radio?

And is possible remap buttons to every apps? For example in radio app, if i press voice button , app will be close

[Android Head-Units] RC54:
Oh wow, that's strange, I guess. I had read a few pages back that she was leaving for maternity reasons and probably wouldn't be around. I had emailed her several times in the past couple weeks about my problem with no responses. Then when I found out about her maternity I figured that was the reason. Once I found the email for Anna and sent her my concerns she emailed me back right away.

I'm just happy to hear that they are responding. All is good! :)

Hello,

i have a NU5261 unit; i'd like to update to a newer version (i had an old version like 1.0.4).

I downloaded this one: v1.4.0 - 2.5GB Data partition - CarPad-III_update_v1.4.0_2.5G_user_data_en.img and i think to update via Computer (RKTool).

And for the MCU i downloaded the v57.

Is this ok?

Do u suggest to update after the firmware or the MCU?

Thanks

Any chance you'd be willing to sell the screen+digitizer from one of those NU units? Looking to make my 8inch NU into a 7inch.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I only have one NU head unit. I have 2 of the android boxes. I had bought one of the boxes separately to do development work on.

I posted an album of the headunit when I first got it on Imgur : http://imgur.com/a/ipQTQ

And yes, I would consider selling it. Even if I get my android boxes working, I only need them for bench work. I use an external screen for that.
[Android Head-Units] sinnedone:
What do you guys think the maximum usb cable length feeding the android box can be?

I was thinking about adding a powered usb hub closer to the trunk of the car being space under the dash is limited. I figure it would be around 8 feet in length from the usb hub at the rear to the android box behind the dash. Would that cause me any problems with usb accessories?

So I just received my NR5261 the other day, and I love it. I am having an issue with the hardware buttons however. The LEDs behind them stay on whenever the head unit is on or in standby, regardless of whether the rest of the interior lights are on or not. Admittedly, I haven't yet connected the orange illumination wire, but even with it not connected, these lights shouldn't be on. Am I wrong? Ive also tried toggling certain MCU settings to see if it changes anything without any luck. I've tried searching all around the web, and I've come across forum posts of people with the same issue, but none of them have a solution. Am I missing something here?

I have a problem with Bonovoradar.apk: this app doesn't close after reverse is turn off

I have Newsmy NR5261S-H-H0 (bought it about 2 years ago) in car Skoda.

Hello, had a few questions before I buy a carpad 3. I have carpad 2 in my old Nissan versa, and loved it. So was hoping to add it to my new car.

1. Which carpad 3 would fit in my 2017 Honda fit ex? I asked summer on ali but have yet to get reply from her

2. I saw a that some one has got a right sideview camera to work with unit. How would I go about doing this ad will it automatically show up when I use my right turn signal like it currently does.

Hello,

I've received a DAB+ tuner from this vendor:

https://es.aliexpress.com/item/Android-Car-DVD-DAB-Tuner-Box-USB-Digital-Audio-Broadcasting-Receiver-With-Antenna-Works-For-Europe/32669972758.html?spm=2114.10010408.1000016.1.m6piB6&isOrigTitle=true

The tuner works, but it only finds radio stations from the top of the roof of my house. If I try to scan from inside the car or putting the antena in the top of the roof of the car it doesn't find any station. I'm thinking that the antenna is not working properly. Does anybody else uses DAB+ in Madrid? How can I fix the problem?

Thanks.

Bluetooth/Steering control issue

sorry if already posted, but I didn't see it answered.

I have an issue with Bluetooth and my steering wheel controls. I have the original NU3001 unit and it used to work fine. Once I started updating the MCU/ROM, I began having problems with my steering controls. The controls are wired directly, no BT unit or other interference. When I have BT enabled on the unit, steering controls are totally unpredictable. Sometimes they will work, sometimes the unit will ignore them. When the unit ignores the commands and I push the same steering control button a few times, the unit will display a BT error. Once I disable BT, the steering controls work normally. Any ideas what is happening or how to fix it?

Specs:

- 2006 Toyota 4Runner

- Android version 4.4.2

- MCU V53

- System Version AD 3188_KK4.4.2.xdAuto_1.1.6.d

Hello to all,

For those who are interested I sell the Newmsy Carpad III Model NR3001.

This is the unit that has 2 Gb Ram and 32 Gb of storage space.

The Head Unit works perfectly and is complete with all the cables, it has the only defect that lacks the color in the lower left corner (see photo)

I modified the Wifi and I put an external connector to connect an external antenna instead of using the internal ones, so receiving is better and avoiding interference with Bluetooth.

I sell it to 200,00 euro or 210,00 $. Payment via PayPal for greater security of seller and buyer.

The shipment is from Italy.
[Android Head-Units] Stormbringer!:
Id like to sell my unit too... I have the original nu3001 with the screen protector never removed and in good shape. The unit has been modified to not use the internal amp but provide 4 channel line level outputs. $180obo shipped from Illinois.
[Android Head-Units] horn34:
Anyone use a Ring video doorbell? I love it, but it's killing me when I someone rings it and I'm in the car. The incoming ring sets off the Ring.com phone app and the NU unit treats the incoming ring on my phone as a phone call and pulls up a call screen...but you can't answer the Ring or end the Ring "call" with the red End button. I have to turn off/turn on BT on my phone and the NU unit so I can get the stereo back.
[Android Head-Units] leonkernan:
The home button on the headunit should hide the phone screens.

As for why they pop up in the first place, i'm guessing the ring app on the phone is pretending it's a genuine phone call and confusing something.
[Android Head-Units] horn34:
Going to the home screen doesn't reclaim the audio from the phone app. I have to disable/enable BT to get music back.

Hello,

looking for help. I have a NU5261 CarPad II. I updated the MCU to v57. I usually update the ROM thru the external SD card, this time I changed the boot logo and the Wallpaper thru the Factory Tool V.4.4 and after rebooting the logo was successfully updated but then I find myself on a infinite boot loop. I tried flashing the recovery image thru adb and fastboot. I get to put the system in recovery mode thru adb but once in recovery mode the device disappears. I managed to copy the logcat which I'm copying below .

Some problems...

Dears,

I've just been installing NU3001, a few problems and possible solutions:

Wi-Fi is very slow, around 1Mbps, no idea about the reason;

OBDII ELM327 Bluetooth and USB adapters are not detected, I'm getting a Wi-Fi adapter;

RDS doesn't work, no idea what to do;

USB microphone seems to work, volume level is good, but Google app fails in recognizing words, again no idea;

There's no equalizer, I'm going to install Viper4Android to fix this.

Kingo fails to detect device for rooting, this might be caused by missing drivers on computer, I'll search for them and try again.

Any suggestions?

Thanks everybody!
[Android Head-Units] robertusIT:
but you miss the first and most important info..... what rom have you in this radio?

anyway for the wifi slow, you can do a factory reset., or your hotspot ( phone ) have some issue.

about obd, your dongle is not compatible or you use a crappy app. Use only torque.

rds there isn't in this radios.

usb microphone isn't recognize by google because you need a jack usb, buy on amazon a jack microphone, i have a parrot microphone and works.

equalizer you can use viper but want a lot of resource and can be slow down your experience.

if you install xdauto rom you have already root.

I guess you are on stock rom , that is a crappy rom, and if you are on it, see wiki to root it. ( if you don't want xdauto rom )
[Android Head-Units] janla:
I have same issues using wifi and bluetooth simultaneously.

This is probably caused by poor antenna design.

Try to switch off bluetooth while using wifi and vice versa and check if it helps.

(This relates to android box bluetooth and not the head unit one)
[Android Head-Units] ultradj83:
I'm so sorry...

Yes, I'm on stock ROM and I'm seriously thinking to install XDAuto, I bet it's perfect, do you confirm? I found the repository, but where can I see features/problems and other infos?

Anyway, about Wi-Fi, I'll try to change my hotspot, but it works very fast with any devices other then NU3001.

About OBD I use torque but it cannot see the adapter, it cannot be found scanning bluetooth from NU3001, while it's seen by my smartphone.

A long time ago the vendor said they were adding RDS in a short time with a new firmware, does this work on XDAuto?

Regarding microphone I'm not sure what you mean: I have a USB mic connected to be used only with android, the Google app receives good signal levels (looking to bars), just doesn't correctly understand words.

Thanks a lot for help.

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

As far as I know NU3001 should have 2 bluetooth adapters, one in the head unit and one in the box.

The 1t should be managed by the bluetooth app for phone calling, the second is managed by android and seems to support only internet sharing profile.

I tested everything on desk before to install in my car, on desk I found no problems, while now it's unusable in the car.

Anyway I'll follow your suggestion and do that test.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] ultradj83:
Dear,

you're right.

Switching Android's bluetooth off fixes Wi-Fi.

Do you know if XDAuto is affected by the same problem?

The cause could be a poor antenna and BT/Wi-Fi coexistence not working.

NU5261S (VW customised) plus two 2GB android boxes used interchangeable.

Also this is the reason why I am stick with this device so long as there is no alternative box config at the market.
