As mentioned, not very useful for our devices. Would make a good testbed for exploring just how Android Auto works (visually) and replicating some features/functions. But not a source for any actual code.
[Android Head-Units] isthisadagger:
I use Nova for gestures, iconpacks/design and have the same settings on my phones and tablet. One phone can not be rooted (work phone with apps that do not run if rooted and root cloak etc. did not work) thats why i could not go the xposed route.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
I have previously reported these issues, but noone is responding. Am I the only one who has problems such as these? Developers, can you confirm that these issues will be resolved or not? Could you reproduce these issues?
[Android Head-Units] Kasush:
It isn't so much an issue as just the way it is. Android knows the default music player on your device is apollo and does exactly what Android is designed to do when you click next track when you have not run the radio after booting Android. Remember, the radio lives in the head unit not in Android. If you want the radio registered as the active music playback app in Android you must run it once after booting so it becomes the registered active playback app.
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
Yes, that's a way to go, especially if you want the same on all your devices, nothing wrong with that.

I'd like to use my HU more like a dedicated appliance, not like a phone or tablet

and forget about the underlying OS

. That's why I use the Car Dashroid frontend, which can do anything I need my HU to do (Give car related info, launching apps, calling, etc). The need for an android launcher (which gives it the more Android look and feel) becomes redundant that way.

Also, IF the launcher is used for whatever reason, I'd like to hide as many apps, icons, options, so my wife/kids/other passengers can't accidentally change things.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
I would expect that the prev and next keys would work for the application that is running(giving sound) at that moment. In my previous android HU it was working like that. Because my intention to press the key is to go prev or next in the application that is running. Why shouldn't be this so much issue?

By the way, if radio sound is coming, isn't that mean that the radio app is running?
[Android Head-Units] Kasush:
By your own admission it works correctly after you run the radio app manually once after booting. A simple solution for you is to install tasker and have it run the radio app after booting.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
But I get the radio sound after boot without doing anything. Is it again neccessary to open the application. By the way, opening the application still don't work for the first time if you press prev-next buttons. Still need to go home screen and open the radio again.

Still not an issue?

This is not a support forum for Newsmy. This is a developers forum. The name of the site is XDA-Developers. The fact that we happen to share our work with you does not obligate me to answer everyone of your issues, no matter how many times you mention it.

There are only a small handful of us who work on xdAuto, and we do so as a hobby. We don't charge you a dime for using the software. When our normal lives get busy, development here is going to slow down.

however, there is one surefire way to speed up development. Click these two links:

[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
How could I know if these issues are related to Newsmy or xdAuto rom?

I am declaring problems here, as you are the developers. I saw that a reported issue were added as a fix for the next release. That is why I am insisting. Of course you don't have to answer. I don't understand why is this rudeness. I am just waiting a few answers, as some already gave after I posted for the second time. For other issues, people are telling that they experience the issues. I was asking about this by asking that "am I the only one?". I was trying to figure if only I experience the problem or not.

Of course I could program too. I already have researched at the repos by the way. When I saw the codes, I figured that this is far beyond me :(. If I could only help. It would become my hobby too.

Android Auto is an .apk, not an OS. Maybe that info changes your mind.....:what:

And Google releasing the api means a lot of apps will soon incorporate this
[Android Head-Units] kommando:
I take the view that unless I can program if I do not like the software then instead of complaining I will revert to stock, I can then complain to the people who actually get paid to fix issues and have some of my loot already.
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Actually it's an OS.

The APK is just the phone side framework. The headunit has to run Android Auto OS. Yes, it's Android. Sort of. Kind of like Android Wear is Android. Only it's not :)

To this point Android Auto is not open source. (Android Wear for example, has had at least one version released to AOSP - not sure if all the updates have been or not).

If you remember from discussions further back, somone was trying to reverse engineer the signaling that goes back and forth between the phone & the headunit to create an emulator. It's not as easy as you might think.

The API's only establish a framework to produce apps that work with Android Auto, not how to emulate the OS itself.

Please can anyone assist with the installation guide with ML 320 2002 version as i am finding it difficult connecting the Newsmy Carpad Nu3001 to my Car because of the Fibre Optic as i have been told now that it is impossible to install with being messy. Please your responses would be highly appreciated.

[Android Head-Units] M11nch:
i believe that you have a bose system in your ml i not an expert but there is normal speaker wires to the the amp

which lives under your steering wheel and then goes into fibre optic up at the head unit from what Ive read you need to install a new amp an run new wires to it

Well, Just got back from my week and a half road trip. Still no real results as to why my physical buttons on my head unit aren't working with my replacement Android box.

Summer and the newsmy crew have no idea why it's not working. So I've asked them to see if they can recommend anything for me to try.

I've checked over all internal cables and nothing has come undone & I replaced the FireWire cable. Still nothing.... Anyone have any other ideas?

hi, ive got an 5002 with stock rom AD3188_CarPad-II-P_KK4.4.2_1.2.0_1024x600_update and MCU V.41 build in my chrysler 300c 2006

iám still pleased with the stock rom and don't wanna run a custom rom right now, probely in a later stadium i wil

the only thing that i wanna change is the standby mode, thats bothering me

ive been reading a lot of pages and some one said that you could use a bonovoMCU on a stock rom to solve this

and it could be done by "factory tool"

my question is, is this posible for my setup?

dont realy understand what is meant with "factory tool"

and where can i get this bonovoMCU , is it at this place? github.com/Nu3001/packages_apps_bonovoapps

probely its not an .apk file so, could i replace it with an filemanager?

hope some one could make this clear for me, cause i dont have the time right now to change to custom rom

if there is a newer stock firmware and mcu available , that solves my problem, that would also be an option

hope to get some directions, thanks

Use the Bluetooth app, not Android's Settings > Bluetooth

Connect your phone (PIN 1234)

Hopefully your phone connects

In the Bluetooth app, enable the BT Music option

If your phone is not connecting to Bluetooth, then see if another phone will

Yes, it is still necessary. The reason the radio plays on boot is because it was running when it shut off. The MCU remembers the last audio source and begins playing it on boot. Android doesn't know that it's the active music app since the radio app hasn't been ran yet.

You should be able to download the latest xdAuto zip file, find and extract bonovoMCU.apk, then replace the existing bonovoMCU.apk on your NU3001.

Are the left side buttons on this head unit supposed to illuminate? They don't on my brand new unit. I've wired the vehicle illumination wire and the screen does dim when I enable backlight input in the update setting app. I've also set the desired backlight color but nothing happens. I'm using xdauto 1.1.6c2 thanks.

Has anybody got a tip on which unit I should buy according to my needs mentioned above.

Browsing Aliexpress I see different units, but I am not sure what the differences are.

Can't seem to find to earlier mentioned Carpad III either.

Thanks!!
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
The lights are only white the color options are for other headunits, and they only turn on when the illumination wire has power.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Interesting, thanks for the reply. Mine don't even light up in white though, no change at all when illumination wire is powered however the screen does dim. Maybe I got a defective unit?
[Android Head-Units] zanix:
Possibly, the color settings do affect how bright the left side lights go though. Try adjusting them up to max.
[Android Head-Units] ChrisK-WA:
I don't know if this has any bearing or not. When I was waiting for my HUB to arrive, I was getting ticked about the USB ODB not working so I ordered a Bluetooth one. Bluetooth arrived and it worked. USB hub arrived, I tested the USB ODB reader with the Hub and it worked. I have no idea if somehow the bluetooth tripped something, but the USB ODB LInk is working and I'm happy with it. Using the ODBLink app since, I just have the standard settings (Communication Type set to USB, ODBII Protocol set to Automatic, Baud Rate set to Automatic). The ODBLink SX firmware is v4.0.1. I'm currently running MCU v44 with XDAUTO 1.1.6C2. USB Hub powered by 5volts.

Im also on xdauto 1.1.6c2 mcu 46 I have a self powered hub don't know about if its a 5v or not ....I'm not aware of what firmware my obdlink sx is on didn't know it can be updated or can't be ? I'm running on the subaru ssm protocol that's how I had my Bluetooth one set up baudrate is at 115200 as per what the cable specs said it is don't know what is keeping it from connection to ecu cable detected fine but not ecu I'll keep farting around with it lol

Any external USB Wifi adapters that work with NU3001/NU5002?

Hello,

I've tried to install an external antenna by unsoldering the original wire

and soldering an SMA wire to be able to screw in an external antenna.

I did a botched job, and the wire ended ripping the metal from the motherboard.

I've tried to solder it, but it's a terrible bad job....

I was wondering if this unit would support an external USB wifi adapter that I could use?

How does Android react to multiple Wifis being installed (built-in + USB one)?

Any recommendations on a particular model to try?

Thanks,

running [MENTION=1759379]mmajoor[/MENTION] 's ext sd card release of XDAuto now and it's been great. Finally bought sygic and updated my maps and that's been great as well. I have literally tried every single music player I can think of on this thing and none of them allow me to use my SWC to switch songs while navigating with Sygic, I'm beginning to think it's a problem with Sygic. Anyone has any suggestions or have this issue as well? It's such a PITA to have to switch to shuttle/apollo to switch songs while I'm using Sygic and I would love to figure it out. I have tried using here maps but the maps just don't want to download for me.

I generally have DSub running for music and Waze for navigation and my SWC works with DSub regardless of if it is in the foreground or background.
[Android Head-Units] DiGi91:
Dsub for subsonic is what you use? I have tried so many music apps and nothing seems to work. I should mention that I typically use this thing fully offline so there's that lol
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Yep that's what I use. I'm not a huge fan of the interface but I use it because it works with Subsonic and you can have it cache things and run in offline mode.

Makes sense. I gotta find something lol I love shuttle but I noticed that it tends to lag the system for some weird reason.. I think Sygic is the issue tho.

Sorry I don't have car with CAN Bus. I think the one you listed should work, but I think you would need a CAN BUS decoder/adapter for your specific car to get the swc working.

Btw, the carpad3 is not on their English website or Aliexpress store yet, but it is listed on their main site. You can probably ask Summer for more info on the carpad 3:

I had the same issue and i was also looking into the usb antenna. Let us know how it goes.

However when i ripped the metal from the motherboard, i managed to solder to the tiny point just to the left of it. It is very small but you should be able to solder to it with some patience. Thats how im running right now.

[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
I'm not really sure what you are asking here. Are you asking if someone has tried to use a different android device with the head unit? In theory someone could build a new android box to work with this one, all you need is a device that has a THine video transciever and has the serial hooked up to the HU. In practice it would be a pretty major undertaking to do so.

The OEM antenna is tiny and badly located (in the android box).

The android box is buried in the middle of the car at the bottom close to the pedals,

so not the best place to get a good wifi signal.

I was hoping for an external antenna that I could put on the dash like the GPS antenna.

Due to my botched soldering job, I am getting a SNR of -80db,

so not much connectivity.

Could be way better.

I've been able to complete my first install of the NU5002 in my 2006 Honda Pilot LX.

I did not have to trim the dash around the radio: the screen fits behind the OEM dash trim.

I've performed the metra harness conversion with the additional A3 and A11 pins,

and I do get my steering wheel controls that work now.

Volume up and down buttons were easy to map to their equivalent,

but the " CH " and "MODE" buttons have been mapped to the home and back functionality so far.

1) What do people do with those two buttons as for a mapping?

2) The car has two more wires for a subwoofer. Which wires of the NU5002 do you use to power the subwoofer?

I've tried a couple of USB wifi adapters with a Broadcom N150 and a Realtek N300 chip, but none work so far...

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

BTW, I forgot to mention that I updated my NU5002 to MCU 46 and XdAuto 1.1.6c2

I am using a

ORICO 36 Watt 6 Ports USB HUB Fast Charger HUB USB Charger Combine with 12V / 3A Power Adapter for iPhone 5 5S iPad Samsung and Tablet - Black

on the Host port.

I cut the external power supply cord and hardwired it into the radio harness with the constant power from the battery.

(Should I have used the ignition-on power?)

I have a

HDE Plug and Play Home Studio Adjustable USB Desktop Microphone Compatible w/ PC and Mac (Black)

USB microphone that works with Google Now.

And the SD card is:

SanDisk Extreme 64GB UHS-I/U3 SDXC Memory Card Up To 60MB/s Read-SDSDXN-064G-G46 [Newest Version]

that works well once you let the Android Head Unit format it.

I still have to install the backup camera...

Actually I am always thinking to move to xdAuto. The only thing stop me is that someone mentioned iGo doesn't work with xdAuto due to the status bar or something could't be disabled, and unfortunately I rely on iGo a lot. Maybe I should try it out by myself to see if I could get it work properly.
[Android Head-Units] kwalsh24:
Igo does work with the xdauto. You just have to disable the nav bar with it think it's immerseme plug in for xposed. Once you disable the nav bar it works fine.

This has been bugging me too. On my old Pioneer Avic 720, I could single press "Up" on my SWC to play the next song (media) and long press to fast forward (same for "down"). Now i'm running Poweramp and I can assign either 'Media_next' or 'Forward' to that SWC button.

Did some digging and found an Xposed module called PBMC Mappings. I did some experimenting and though it seems illogical, this worked:

Assigned Fast Forward Media and Rewind Media to Up and Down in the KeyEditor

Added the 'Fast Forward Media' key in PMBC, altered single press to 'Next Media'

Leave 'Hold' to default no action

This the same for Rewind Media

Now, when I single press the UP/DOWN key it will go to the Next/Previous song and when I HOLD it will fast-forward/Rewind.

Depending on the speed of your SWC interface, long-press/double-press, may or may not work. Mine is quite slow.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
Very cool, great problem solving. I'll have to try this out when I get some free time.
[Android Head-Units] MrFr1day:
Great find, I got it to do all the things I want now, volume add/sub works with hold, holding/single/double clicking mode have different tasks as well.

the app seems to be very customizable too, you can assign a program to each click, Tasker might be able to better handle each click based on running app.

You can change the Holding time (in ms) to make it wait longer for the SWC, did you try that?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] DragonFlye:
My SWC interface seems very slow and doesn't respond very well to HOLDS. Also, I'm using 2.10.1 as versions 3.04 and 3.1 don't seem to work at all for me (but I haven't had the time to fully investigate). For the moment I'm happy skipping and fast-forwarding tracks.

Version 2.10.1 has a limited number of actions you can assign to a button. In version 3.1 and higher you can assign ANY key you want to a button. I also have a 'Mute' SWC-button and I'd like it to perform a 'Back' function when hold. Haven't been very successful, though. It looks like I loose the button's original function every time I add another action. This does not occur in 2.10.1.

Though assigning any key adds a powerful function it doesn't seem to work properly, yet. There are some topics that report the same problem in the PBMC thread. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59533229&postcount=594
