Its good that the manufacturers are adding features around standby and boot times although, as its been said before, why can't they just add a battery for the android part just to keep it in standby. Also as somebody else has pointed out, I wonder if its possible to derive a standby battery ourselves by keeping power to the android box? I remember it being stated on the AN-21U thread that it consumed 1.5A in standby which is way too much for any normal device. However given there is a separate power connector for the android box which I doubt powers the main unit, then maybe there is a way?

I'm contemplating buying one of these but I'm concerned about the lack of real buttons on the front panel and was hoping that maybe they would release a model specific to my 2009 Ford Mondeo like they have done for the VW but I can't see one yet.

Maybe someone can test to power the android box with a powerbank of 3000 or 6000 mAh, and see what time can leave the unit in standby or hibernate with a full charge

I think is posible to leave powerbank be autocharged when car engine is one. and supply energy to androidbox when car engine is off

[Android Head-Units] alaninsitges:
We should be able to tell battery voltage from CAN bus (and I guess probably the MCU will have this available somehow) so really it's a matter of doing a shutdown if the car battery drops below 12V. There are devices you can buy that go inline with 12V and open the circuit if voltage drops below a specified level.

I'd also like to see options to pause playback when the key is removed, and also put the device in airplane mode or disable mobile data so I'm not syncing over 3G if I'm not driving.

Getting a super-cap would be perfect - if the Super Cap ran out, then you wouldn't risk killing the battery. I'm considering doing this, HOWEVER - I'd like the standby to be a true standby - pause music playing apps, etc. :)

I use a generic ELM327 OBDII adapter and it works. I have seen some posts stating that USB based OBDII adapters are not working. I do not recall if anyone has figured out why. Battery drain is not a problem for me, I have left my OBDII adapter plugged in for days and have no problems.

The only issue I can think of by leaving it plugged in is possible OBDII based attacks on cars, but I have no idea if these units are a possible attack vector or not.

There are adapters that automatically turn off when the car is turned off, but they tend to be the more expensive versions.

New Newsmy NU3001 user

Hello,

I've just receive my Newsmy NU3001.

But i've some questions :

(1) - First problem :

I have no backlight on the physical keys, I tried to change colors with the application, but without success.

Does this problem happened to one of you ? Should I connect a particular wire ?

(2) – There was no Google services , so I could not use google play store .

I finally managed to find a good version of Google services , my problem is solved. But is this problem happened to one of you ?

(3) – I’m not rooted !

When I read this topic, Rooted out of the box… Not for me ;-(

I tried to install SuperSU Pro, but no root, can you help me ?

(4) – I’ve Audi TT, The sterring whell doesn’t work, what in must do ?

(5) – What is the best Custom Rom, and newest ? Xdauto, Amplified, other ?

(6) – How to enter in recovery mode ? with physical keys ?

I’m sorry for all these questions, but I’m little bit lost.

Thx for all
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
Yes, there is an illimunation (ILL) wire. You should connect it to +12V.

Yes, It happened to me too.

There are instructions on the wiki. Switch to first page of this thread. Click on the wiki link at the very top.

You should buy an adapter that captures button presses and convert them to resisitive signals. Then you should connect the adapters output wire(s) to SWC-1 (and/or SWC2).

In my opinion, xdAuto seems the right choice.

As far as I know, there is no recovery in the stock rom.

You should see the wiki, almost all of your answers are there. And the very first page of course.

Welcome.

Press the tiny reset button near the usb cable on the android box. Then connect it to the power. It will go into download mode which rkBatchTool can recognize.

Hello,

I know it has been a while, but I wanted to thank again for these two programs and ask three questions.

1-navi_button works as expected. However, when the navigation app is running, and navi_button is pressed, is it possible to hide the navigation program and show the home screen. I mean, navi_button will work as a swithing application between the home screen and the navigation software.

2-program_carousel is also an handy app. It works as expected. However, it should switch among applications following the algorithm below:

Is there an application currently active which is also already on my list?

If YES

Switch to the application which is listed after this application on my list.

If NO

Switch to the application in my list, which is listed after the application which I assume that it was active very recently.

3-In program_carousel and navi_button, while switching between screens, a white screen is passing between the two program screens. It is a little bit annoying :) (I know, considering the functionality of this program, it may be avoidable, but, still it would be better to fix that)

Is it possible to make contributions on these applications? Or is it possible that the author updates the applications?

If I could have the source code, I can see If I can contribute to this app or not.

This app is very very handy for me. If you use Igo, and disabled the navbar, this application is just for you. It helps launching the navigation software from the steering wheel.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
The xdAuto code is all at https://github.com/Nu3001. This is the most recent version of the software we have had access to with our own updates. If/when Newsmy releases more of the code (some of it required by GPL) we will merge that in and merge their code with our community improvements.
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
I ment the navi_button and program_carousel applications which were mentioned in this thread before. These two applications are handy but sources are not available. Thus, xdAuto does not include these applications.

Shame we can't get the latest source code..

Was the latest source release 1.1.6? but they are on 1.2.9 now right?

I'm stuck on what to install now.
[Android Head-Units] Bokomaru:
There have not been any more source leaks so everything community built has been based on 1.1.6. There have been very few actual functional changes made in any of the releases since then, mostly cosmetic.

Some of the changes that have been made have been rolled into xdAuto. We will keep our version number based on the base source we are using.
[Android Head-Units] zeroprobe:
Is there a way to download the stock 1.1.6 rom for comparison purposes?

I can only find 1.1.5.

If you really want to compare then I'd probably go with 1.1.7, I don't remember if 1.1.6 was released as a binary or if that was an internal only release.

Been a while since I last posted, head unit has been acting up again recently. Poweramp decides to rescan my entire music library at every boot despite having it set to "manual scan only" in the settings. It's really sad that I just can't get this thing to run the way I want. When it works well (which isn't often to me) it's great but that's only about 15% of the time. I want to like this thing I really do, but it's making it hard for me =/

Method to change HERE Maps storage location

I'd never used Here maps before, though I might take it for a spin since a lot of people like it. Might be nice to have an alternative to Waze for the occasions when I'm out of cell service.

So I installed here maps and figured out where the setting was and how to change it.

Make sure Here maps is not actively running (even in the background) or else it will likely override this setting.

Edit the following file:

/data/data/com.here.app.maps/shared_prefs/GeneralPreferences.xml

Change this line:

<string name="USER_DISK_PATH_PREFERENCE">/mnt/internal_sd/Android/data/com.here.app.maps/files</string>

to

<string name="USER_DISK_PATH_PREFERENCE">/mnt/external_sd/Android/data/com.here.app.maps/files</string>

After doing that the files are stored on my external SD card.

Enjoy!

Hi Guys

After a long time reading in here I've ordered a Carpad NU3001 and just received it.

I am awaiting a dash kit and would like to try the android box and install the xdauto rom and generally prepare the unit before doing the install.

What seems to be the best way to power the android box outside of the car? I have tried to connect it to the Usb host but there is no indication that the unit is getting power.

Also is there an easy way of connecting the complete unit, i.e. the Touchscreen and the android box, outside of the car? This way I could test if everything is fine with the unit.

Would be grate if someone can tell me how you guys do it.

Cheers

In the wiki, it states that 5v Nokia DC adapter can power the android box. I haven't tried it yet. But, I tried using a USB connector and wire. There is a mini usb port, which you can connect it to a PC or laptop. If the pc provides enough current, It boots up.

I have a problem with the sound. I don't know it's the gps app itself or the unit or some setting. I use sygic as gps app. When the music is playing from the radio app ( or any other media app) together with the gps app , the problem begins. Music is playing and than sometimes the voice of the gps isn't working , or it's only a half sentence you can hear. Sometimes you only hear the gps voice , than only the radio sound or a mix of the 2. Does anyone have the same problem?

My google service is now fixed. Now my problem is the sound quality, I sat up a subwoofer and changed my speakers. Now my problem is tuning the sound. Anybody knows how? Or what app should I use?
[Android Head-Units] Totoix:
This thread mentions mostly Viper4Android for this purpose. It comes with xdAuto rom, I think. I haven't used it yet. But, what I do know is, the sound of radio currently cannot be adjusted via an app. The people in this thread say that the MCU of the device prevents the sound to be tunnelled trough android, but the sound is directly output.

Question:

Does anyone know if the Carpad3 (NR3001/5002) support xdAuto? It seems to use the same CPU/GPU chip, so is it possible?

Would be nice to have the ability to use all the great feature of xdAuto on the newer units, maybe even implement some of the new features (eq) to the xdAuto.

Any thoughts? :)
[Android Head-Units] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I think until one of us gets this in hand (@bokomaru ?) there is going to be a lot of confusion and speculation. I don't personally think there is *ANY* difference in the hardware/HeadUnit part of this. I think all they've done is up the storage on the android size of this. Possibly made it an all in one rather than separate box.

Our units supported 5.1 through HDMI. That 'EQ App' you saw on their AliExpress page wasn't an app, it's just some graphic. I've not seen any solid evidence that there is any difference in CarPad 3 vs CarPad 2 except for a memory bump.

There have been some intermittent standby issues with later mcu versions. maybe that's their way of covering them up?
