You did not it right way. If you are sending Item to factory for replacement/repair, you don't have to pay double tax.

But you have to make tax documentation in proper way (depends of your country requirements)

Does anyone knows is SD card limitation of 32 Gb from HW or SW side?

I just can confirm, that Samsung evo 64 Gb doesn't work :( Unit even doesn't see it.
[Android Head-Units] blinger:
I would have expected the LEDs for the touch controls for the nu3001 be the other way around eg. LED buttons light up at full brightness at all times and then dim (dim with the screen) when car illumination is on.

Do the vehicle specific models behave the same?
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
It Can read SDHC cards which are up to 32GB. SDXC cards are not supported. Maybe you can find one that does but it would be a rather expensive way to find that out.
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Android can read SD cards with much higher than 32Gb if theyre formatted in FAT32 (or Linux formats like EXT2, EXT3, EXT4 etc, but then only other Linux devices will be able read them).
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
I think you can better use exFat.. It's faster and supports 4GB+ files.

But do keep in mind that the controller chip needs to support the SDXC type and the code for it to read SDXC cards needs to be inplemented in the source code.

This has nothing to do with which format is used in this case
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Yes, obviously if it cant support SDXC then theres nothing he can do about that, but he doesnt say if its XC or HC.

ExFAT is not recommended for sticks/SD cards because of compatibility issues - buy ANY storage and it will be formatted in FAT32 for these reasons.

Fat32 has no limit to how large files can be formatted in it. Microsoft has simply put limitations on FAT32 formatting in the formatting app in its Windows OS - use another app for formatting, or any other OS and you can format FAT32 to whatever size you want (you could use your Android box to format it in FAT32 as large as you like) - I formatted my 640Gb HD in FAT32 on my Lnux pc with no problems.

If you ARE going to use a formatting system other than FAT32, then youre best off using EXT4 (the latest and fastest Linux format) because as Android is Linux, thats what it uses (apart from the internal SD which is formatted in FAT32).

I got this 64GB microsd card off of ebay. No doubt a fake, but it is 64GBs and my Android phone reads it. Most likely because it's a SDHC card. Going to have to wait and see when my unit arrives to see if the box reads it.
[Android Head-Units] blacklistedcard:
I have a 64gig in my unit now..
[Android Head-Units] spoks:
Well, actually I have Samsung microSDXC UHS-I Card with SD adapter. Card already was formatted as exFAT. NU3001 does not see it or at least it does not shows up as SD, USB or other drive.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
Good to know. My SDXC did not work and I couldn't find any code/driver/source for it to.

Can you tell me if your card is SDHC or SDXC?

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I use the 32GB version of this... And that does work. (SDHC)

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

I've tried the following SDXC cards without any luck:

- 64GB Samsung Pro

- 64GB Sandisk Extreme UHS-I

- 64GB Lexar 633x

Tried multiple formats..

SDHC works straight away.. so I gave up on 64GB cards.

Hello

It will work if correctly connected...

Back in 2009, on a Prius 3, I changed the HU to a Sony and I confirm the traditional resistor lader on this car.

to know where to connect it, you can have a look there
[Android Head-Units] bockywocky:
Yes I,m interested!

I have similar problem with the illumination. If I switch my car lights ON, the backlight keys from the unit are switching OFF and vice versa.

It must be a problem in my Canbus decoder. I think a i'm gonna fix this the visa versa way using a small relais.

[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Well if it doesnt support SDXC then you prob wont get it to read it, you could try formating it in FAT32, but I dont think it will work.
[Android Head-Units] peregrines:
Thank You very much for this information!!!
[Android Head-Units] typos1:
Why ? You can get 128Gb SDHC cards. XC is just a bit faster, but yourll only notice the difference if youre recording HD video.

I ask my seller about buying alone 2Gb android box. He tell me next:

auto hotspot

Hi Guys,

Been awhile since I've contribute something. But lately I have been searching for an app that would automatically start hotspot on my phone when it detects my head united connection, through bluetooth. Tried tasker, that does work.

Found this neat simple app call AutoTether for Automatica,https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.inrete.autotethering&hl=en I guess it is meant for Automatica, but it will work with your phone and our head unit. What it does is that once it detects the bluetooth to our HU, it will then automatically starts your phone hotspot.

tested it twice today and both times it started right up.
[Android Head-Units] renedis:
That would be 129 euro for me.. Still a bit expensive in my opinion.
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
I used tasker in both sided phone and nu3001.

On phone start auto tether when bluetooth is conected to car, and disable auto when bluetooth disconect.

Then on nu3001, i have a task to stop music when screen is off, and another to resume music when screeen is on again.

Also used tasker to solution the problem with the radio. when you open radio app., it stop all music playing and when close radio music not resume. so i add a tasker task to resume playing music when close radio app.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Maybe we should wait until they release an octa-core then upgrade then. $150 for an additional 1GB is kind of expensive.

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

I barely started using tasker, so I did not find all that options. Maybe if I use it more I will. For right now that one app I listed does what I need it to do. I rarely use radio....
[Android Head-Units] welshblob:
As you mentioned Russia then this has been quoted before here -> http://2-din.ru/product/android-box-carpad-ii-compass/

That works out to be ~$100 but not sure what tax/del would be.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
I do something similar.

Display off will check if music is playing, it will store that state and pause the music, so if the music is paused before the screen is off, it will stay paused when display is on. I'm curious about checking for the radio, although I don't really use it. Maybe we can export our tasks for the wiki so others can use them.
[Android Head-Units] delamarrr:
Just a quick question. Ive just installed mine into my work vehicle.

Is there a way to make the ringer volume quieter? When my phone rings on handsfree the ringer scares the crap out of me. I have to turn up the voice of the incoming call because its too quiet, but this also turns up the ringer to scary levels when it rings.

Im running the debloated 1.13

Thanks.

Yes I have them they all work and are able to program them to what ever keys they have available in the key editor as for the size I dont know what kind you have but I needed the bezel kit to avoid a gap. At ae64.com they sell custom harnesses for Subaru which will make your install as easy as possible
[Android Head-Units] dom_christo:
Thanks Mate,

Good news on the SWC, Did you need to purchase an adapter / converter for the SWC? Or just connected the wires to the harness?

Also have a 2014 WRX.

I purchased a JDM facia which is double din, but seems to be 174mm wide, might have to widen it a bit if the unit is in fact 178mm wide.

Also, are you able to comment on:

Boot Time.

Screen visibility with direct sunlight (Subaru unit seems to face upwards a bit).

Radio reception.

Audio Bluetooth streaming quality.

Much appreciated :good:

So in bench testing, it seems like the microphone may be wired directly to the bluetooth module dedicated to phone calls. This would make voice control of the stereo impossible... maybe there are pads for a mic in the android box? Or theres always building a usbaudio kmod for a usb otg mic? Anyone out there concur?

On the plus side, mine came preloaded with 1.0.8.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
LOL wtf? She told me the unit is out of stock and they should have been sent out yesterday, but no tracking yet.

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------

So there is not a dedicated line in for Mic? we have to use our phones as the mic? Oh man that does affect me. I usually have my phone in my pants pocket. or in the middle compartment. That is true, we can find a mic to usb? on great more attachments.
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Not quite. What it looks like is the mic is ONLY for phone calls / voice control for your by connected phone. Think of it as a REALLY fancy bluetooth headset.
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
What else would you need a mic for?
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Controlling the h/u via google now?
[Android Head-Units] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Oooohhh right right
[Android Head-Units] red13dotnet:
Upside, android isn't producing an error when trying to capture sound, it's just not getting anything bu silence. I'd be willing to bet the hardware is there in the android box, just needs a mic (jack) soldered up. Hopefully there are pads but won't stop me if there isn't. Then there will be two mics but it should work fine. :fingers-crossed: Or theres the usb otg microphone route if we're feeling adventurous / masochistic.
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
Has anyone tried USB hub (external power or USB powered?) in car.

We could always be hopeful that they are dragging their feet because they are working on an android L release for us ;)
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
That's unfortunate. Because at $220 it was great. At $329, not so much. I can find a "name brand" HU from Sony, Kenwood, etc that has a MHL Adapter/HDMI and just cast everything from my phone to the HU Screen at that price point and not have to worry about overseas shipping and tinkering and everything else we have going on with this unit.

Dang.

Audi a4 (2005)

Hi,

I'm planning to buy the carpat 2s from newsmy for my Audi a4 (2005).

Maybe Summer can tell me if a Audi a4 (2005-2007) version will be available in the near future, just like the Volkswagen / mazda etc units? I prefer a unit which fills the complete 2 din without any plastic edges.

For now i'm orientating on the Newsmy Carpad Nu3001 for my Audi a4 2005, because of it's possibilities thanks to Newsmy and XDAdevelopers .

The only thing i don't get is the Steering Wheel Controls thing. My audi does have a canbus. Will my steering wheel controls work? I read in the wiki that i need some extra hardware if my car has got a canbus. Can someone tell me what for hardware? or does some one installed this unit in a car with a canbus instead of a vehicle with the resistive type?

Before i order this product i wan to know for sure that the Steering Wheel Controls will work in my car.

I also found this:

theksmith.com/technology/hack-vehicle-bus-cheap-easy-part-2

github.com/theksmith/Steering-Wheel-Interface

github.com/theksmith/CarBusInterface

Maybe these articles can help us to get the steering wheel control to work true canbus?

I have a 2014 wrx sti here's what it looks like with the JDM bezel it should be an exact match to what I have looks wise the bezel fits a little tight on the screen you may wanna dremel a little of the corners I didn't do it to mine but I wasn't that comfortable with how it fit but it did the job

Boot time is about 30-45 secs but if you prime the car first and put seatbelt on by the time you finish that it would have started

Screen visibility is good that picture I took was in sun light I have no problems viewing the screen

Dont use radio as I hate commercial music dont Bluetooth stream either but I did try it once sound quality was great just turn volume up from Bluetooth app not just radio

For wires connection go here http://ae64.com/ this guy makes custom harnesses for subarus that will make your install a breeze I think I paid $24 for the wire harness I needed which is pre installed swc wires

Just nstalled yesterday the xposed module GravitiBox, allow to tweak so many things on the NU3001

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.kitkat.gravitybox

- Statur bar,

- Notification buttons quickaction

- Hardware keys

- Allow to use PIE Control instead navbar

and so many other things

i recomend it to all. as can have so many tweaks in only one xposed app module

For the hardware buttons. i see this app support double tap action.

So doing a double tap on Home button can launch recent app, very fast and no delay on it.

Also the PIE Control is very nice, you can launch it from left, right or bottom, configure colour and actions.

Here is a quick video of how pie control works in cyanogen (here with gravity box is the same)

Does somebody already fix the gps problem in TomTom?
[Android Head-Units] nestortoledo:
You can change on themer settings what is your default dialer app. The Phone tile, is linked to it

Problem with Bluetooth dialer is that is part of on app, and not an standalone app, also dont have T9 search.

Thats why i used Exdialer. But can use any dialer app on the play store

Thanks, this works very nicely. Now I just need to work out how to prevent the gallery app from opening every time I connect my iphone via USB to charge.

I'm having issues installing iGO from the various torrent files / tutorials I've found on the web. I can install from the apk but the app doesn't run, citing various errors depending on how I try it (missing sys_config, not a zip, out of memory and other such errors). I'm sure it's partly due to my Android ignorance - anyone else successful and can point me in the direction of a decent tutorial? Top hits when googling didn't do it for me.

Awesome headunit though. I see on my VW canbus model the door opening pictures are wired the wrong way round (open the right door and the left door open icon appears). More amusing than annoying though! Certainly much better than the £1500/$2000 OEM head units.

Cheers,

Dumb question

So folks, here's a dumbass question.

I am yet to own an android head unit, but what stops owners from updating the version. Of android provided to say Lollipop?

If ts pure android shouldn't we able to update them?
[Android Head-Units] easyguy:
The hardware in each device is different. Let alone our HU where it incorporate many unique things, which makes it that much harder to upgrade.
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
The Wiki has this answer (not yet)

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Newsmy_CarPad_NU3001#FAQs

Same reason you don't see immediate support for Lollipop for some other devices. There is no such thing as a pure Android device, there are drivers and other software tweaks that make Android run on all kinds of different hardware.
[Android Head-Units] dom_christo:
Thanks for the info.

One more question, You said you use Poweramp for Audio?

When the system shutdown and starts up again, does it open poweramp and continue playing? or are you required to open poweramp?
[Android Head-Units] usafle:
No. If 100% powered off, it will boot back into the desktop.
[Android Head-Units] dom_christo:
Good to know.

Now I have been reading that the unit is able to go into a standby mode, consuming little power?

And someone has enabled the option for how long the unit will stay in standby for before turning 100% off?

so theoretically could i set the timer to be 24 hours? and providing i turn on the car one a day, the unit should never shutdown?

Does anyone have an exact power reading of what the unit munches while in standby? Interesting to know, also brings around the idea of having a dedicated battery for unit standby.

My Questions

So i finally got the radio almost set to the way i like it, Also discovered a great free online/offline navi app called Here beta maps. Also it looks amazing in my Nissan versa looks like it came with the car. So here are my questions, and thank you for any help you can provide.

Is there a way to toggle the lights to the buttons?(saw this talked about in forum so the only way is to mess with the wiring?)

Is there a way to make automatically internet tether with my phone? (tasker?)

Is there away to get "ok google" to work from anyscreen?(google now) (meaning i can activate it from any screen not just home screen)

finally is there a way to flash a zip file to android? (if so might be answer to second question)

Search this thread. .. the was detailed report on the amps while system off (I think it was 0.5 but don't quote me)

Is it in the wiki? [emoji1]
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
You could use Tasker to start the app back up on boot. I use media utilities to capture the last active music app, save it to a tasker variable, and start that app on boot.

As far as I know, no-one has figured out how to change the standby->power off time.

Someone tested power drain with a multi-meter, results are noted in the wiki.

The illumination wire on the Head Unit controls the physical button LEDs. Supply 12V and they will light up. You could branch of your ignition power to a switch and that can be a manual toggle for the LEDs. And if you use ignition power you wont have to worry about leaving it on since it will turn off when the car turns off.

There is also a setting in the MCU app that will dim the screen when this happens as well.

As stated in the wiki, the internal and external mic are not visible to android. You will need to find a USB mic to get "Ok Google" work. I have linked a known compatible mic in the wiki. If you find other compatible mics, let us know.
